It was a cool morning only a few hours after sunrise. A young tabby she-cat laid in a large patch of sunlight on her back. She had a light smile on her face as her tail swished back and forth. She was smaller than normal cats, and it was obvious.
ShadeFalcon rolled onto her stomach and looked around at the camp. Cats were waking up and walking over to the fresh-kill pile to eat. She had already eaten because she always woke up early. Her ears twitched at all the sounds of the early morning bustle, even the birds seemed busy today. She took a large breath, taking in all the scents. The cool damp morning air, the smell of fresh-kill, the mixing pot of all the cats' scents, even though ShadeFalcon had woken up every day to the same sights and smells, she still loved it.

It was indeed morning, and Heartsong knew that she would be on for dawn patrol. The deputy had asked her to go, and she agreed. She probably would've pitched a fit if the deputy had demanded it, but of course asking was a much better way to get Heartsong to do something you wanted. Or if you made it a challenge. Hearsong loved challenges.
Stepping outside of the warrior den, she glanced around. The other warriors weren't up yet? Who was going on dawn patrol with her anyways? She hadn't a clue, nor had she asked. Ah well.
Aha! There was Shadefalcon. Was she going on dawn patrol? Walking up to the short cat she nodded slightly. "Morning Shadefalcon. Are you going on patrol?"

Looking up at Heartsong, she smiled "Nope. I just love waking up early." her tail swished back and forth, pleased to see her friend. Rolling onto her back again, her ears twitched as a sparrow flew overhead. "The birds seem quite busy today, huh Heartsong?" she wiggled slightly, then rolled onto her feet.

A tall black tom easily squeezed out of the leaders den, he shook his silky pelt and sent it into a flurry of black around him. His icy eyes focused on movement near the warriors den, he purred. For once, some cats were up before him! His whiskers twitched as he padded up behind Heartsong and Shadefalcon.
"Greetings you two, dawn patrol?" He purred in his soft, lulling voice.
His tail twitched as he looked proudly over his warriors, Crowstar smiled. "I think I might join you." He said softly, recalling the other incidents of yesterday. Sandstorms falling out of the tree had him very worried. He looked at the two friends and felt another purr rumbling in his throat. The tall black tom looked around and took a deep breath, the scents of the forest were quite soothing to him. |

The sparrow flew overhead, and immediately Heartsong wished to catch it. Her feet tingled with the urge to follow it until it landed, but she held in the urge. Perhaps she would find another on patrol and catch it. Catching birds was such a challenge, and Heartsong loved it. "Indeed. A good day to go hunting for them." she replied calmly, though her eagerness to go was plain on her face.
Crowstar emerged from the leader's den, and Heartsong purred slightly. Crowstar had long ago earned her respect, his patience with her had paid off for him. She thought he was a wise leader. She bowed her head in greeting. "Good morning Crowstar." she said. "I am on patrol, but Shadefalcon is not. She's an early bird."
A slight breeze ruffled Heartsong's fur and her impatience mounted. The forest called to her, and she was dying to go on patrol. She looked at Crowstar. "Who else is on dawn patrol?"

Crowstar smiled and noticed how much Heartsong longed to go, his blue eyes twinkled with amusement as he met her gaze. "Well, I am willing to go, and if you want, Shadefalcon, you may come as well." Heartsong had always been a wild she-cat, one who rebeled against everything save the warrior code. Crowstar knew she followed it faithfully and without question. Crowstar flicked his long black tail and it weaved it's way around his body as he looked at the den entrance. "Well then Heartsong, you seem eager enough. Will you join us, Shadefalcon?"
At that exact moment, a young she-cat barreled into Crowstar. The black tom looked down at the small apprentice, her blue eyes blazed. "Sorry Crowstar!" She squeaked. "But I'm on the dawn patrol too!" The black tom smiled at the white she-cat, her orange points had always caught his attention about the young cat. "You are, Whisperpaw?" The large tom mewed, trying to hide his amusement.
Whisperpaw put her ears back and batted at her leaders tail, Crowstar lifted it high so she had to stand up. "I am on the dawn patrol!" |

Mewing with laughter, Shadefalcon said "Sure! I'd love to come along." sitting up, she quickly groomed herself. Looking up at Crowstar, she grinned. "So, how did you sleep?" she asked. She always asked this question to at least one cat in camp in the morning, just to see if they had any interesting dreams,

Heartsong's ears perked in amusement as the young apprentice went bowling into Crowstar. She purred, and placed her tail gently on Whisperpaw's shoulder. "Good. That makes four of us." she said, her eyes softening when she gazed at the apprentice. She had always wanted an apprentice, but has yet to receive one. She knew her day would come, but may that day come quickly!
She looked from Shadefalcon to Whisperpaw, then finally to Crowstar. "Are we ready?" Heartsong kneaded her paws into the ground, eager to leave and use up some of the pent-up energy stored in her. There was no way she was going to go bouncing around like a hyperactive kitten around the apprentice. She had to act like a warrior..set an example.

"As ready as I'll ever be!" she mewed as she poked Heartsong with her tail. 'I wonder when Heartsong'll ever get an apprentance....' she wondered silently to herself as she stood up.

Whisperpaw purred in excitement as Crowstar stepped forwards, "Heartsong, since you are so eager, you lead." The black tom said, his long tail winding around Whisperpaw. The young she-cat had no apprentice, and he planned to make it known to the Clan that Heartsong would soon have her first apprentice. Whisperpaw purred happily and bounded forwards in great leaps, ears flicking. "Lets go!" |

"Excellent!" purred excitedly, her tail raised high. "Let's go!" she echoed Whisperpaw, trotting quickly towards the camp entrance. Her paws carried her there eagerly, then turned to wait for the others, eyes bright. Then, another heartbeat later, she disappeared through the entrance.
