Your POV

Sore bruises on your body made you flinch when you sat up in your nest. 

"I swear to StarClan, I'm only there to get beat up." You mutter, licking your messy fur.

There were barely any cats in the warrior den, which means it's empty. You stood up and felt warmed by the thin ray of sunlight in the warrior's den. The dawn of new-leaf started a few days ago, and it was starting to show. 

You padded out of the den quietly, and noticed you were the last one awake.

"No one's bothered to wake me up?!" You said to yourself, twitching your whiskers irritably. 

You grumpily headed to the fresh-kill pile and took a f/p. The sunrise just ended, but the sky was still pink. No clouds and no wind.

"W/n." a voice behind you said. 

"What?" you look behind you, annoyed that someone interrupted your meal. It was Hollypaw. "Oh, hey."

"Hi." Hollypaw sat beside you. You nodded to her.

"I miss you. You know, in the apprentices den." Hollypaw said. 

"That's... sweet of you." You replied, taking a bite out of your prey.

"You're so lucky to get your warrior name! Lead patrols, train apprentices, go wherever you want, no apprentice duties, maybe even become deputy!" Hollypaw rambled on. Your eyes somewhat lit up at her words.

"Training apprentices is hard work, and I can't go wherever I want. Only whenever I want. Unless Firestar or Brambleclaw says otherwise." you said after a few seconds of thought.

"Oh, good point." Hollypaw sighs. 

You licked your jaws. "At least I don't need to do any more training." You stood up and shook your fur. "I'll see you around, Hollypaw."

"But-" Hollypaw looked like she wanted to say more, but you weren't in the mood. She recognized it as a dismissal and left to find Brackenfur.

You stretched out. 

Should I go hunting today or patrolling? 

Your muscles and joints were sore from battling Hawkfrost all night. 

Patrolling it is.

You padded around camp, searching for Brambleclaw since Firestar was probably in his den. Brambleclaw was in the medicine cat den talking to Leafpool.

You poked your head through the entrance. "Brambleclaw?"

Brambleclaw looked towards you. "W/n, do you need something?"

"Um, yeah I was wondering if I could go on a patrol today." you asked. Leafpool just nodded to you and left the area to find some berries in the den.

"You're asking for one? Well, sure. There's a sun-high patrol to the Sky Oak." Brambleclaw said, his whiskers twitching. "Ashfur is leading it, and Lionpaw and Sorreltail is going."

"That's fine." you decided. 

"Alright then." Brambleclaw walked further into the den to look for Leafpool.

"Hey W/n." Jaypaw's voice stopped you from leaving the den.

You looked to your right to see the lean gray tabby. "Hi Jaypaw. What're you doing?"

"I'm just sorting herbs. Most boring thing to do as a medicine cat in my opinion." Jaypaw said scuffing one of his front paws on the ground.

"It does sound boring. Is there anything not boring that you do?" you asked him, sitting down beside him to talk more.
