Chapter One
Leafpaw pounced on the mouse, killing it with a bite to the neck. "Great catch!" she mentor, Firefang praised, "I think this is enough, let's head back to camp." The ginger warrior padded towards a clearing with ivy bushes surrounding it. There was a squirrel in his jaws, quite fat too. Leafpaw followed her mentor and put her mouse on the Fresh-Kill pile. The tabby apprentice headed towards the apprentice's den, but was stopped by Harepaw, one of the senior apprentices. "Leafpaw, that's all you caught?" he sneered, "I though you'd get better, not worse after the two moons of training you had." Leafpaw glared at her clanmate. "You're just jealous!" she hissed and Harepaw snorted, "Hegehogs will fly before I'm ever jealous of you, the best you can catch is a mouse."

Leafpaw was about to claw the tom's face when Grassheart called Harepaw to get rid of the Elder's ticks. Harepaw gave the she-cat one last glare then bounded towards the Elder's den. Leafpaw was about to lay down in her nest when her mentor called her. "Leafpaw, we're going on border patrol!" Firefang yowled. Leafpaw sighed and padded towards her mentor. Firefang followed Waterfeather and Rainclaw to the FrostClan border, Leafpaw right behind them. When they reached the border a cat was waiting for them, Dawnpaw. Suddenly, Leafpaw started to hear things, cats talking. But they weren't talking, it was almost like they were thinking. Leafpaw gasped and jumped back, but Dawnpaw just gave her a nod, like she could hear the thoughts too.

"Leafpaw, are you okay?" Firefang asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." the apprentice mumbled. Firefang looked at her, concerned, then at Dawnpaw. "What are you doing here?" he growled. Dawnpaw gulped, "Um, I was hunting." she mumbled. The ginger shrugged then waved Rainclaw to mark the border. "Leafpaw, we're going back." Rainclaw meowed, interrupting the tabby's thoughts. She turned to the warrior and followed him to the camp. As she got nearer she no longer heard the whispers. She sighed, letting her mind race. Why had she been able to hear the thoughts of her clanmates, and could any other cat do the same?
