Not Hawkfrost! Anyone but Hawkfrost! Starpaw thought.

"Hi Starpaw!" Hawkfrost said, wrapping his tail around the apprentice's shoulders. "We will begin training tomorrow."

"Okay." Starpaw said.

Starpaw walked over to Ashkit, now Ashpaw. There was a plump squirrel in front of his paws. "Want to share with me?"

"Sure!" Starpaw mewed.

During the meal, the two cats kept looking at each other. Starpaw wondered why.

"Starpaw, ever since I saw you, it was like love at first sight. I was wondering... would you be my mate?" Ashpaw purred.

"Yes. Once we become warriors." Starpaw replied.

Ashpaw gulped down another piece of squirrel. "But I can't wait that long!"

Hawkfrost looked at the two apprentices. "I want her to be my mate!"

The two toms leapt at each other. There were blood stains on their soft pelts.

The two cat then licked each other. Starpaw yowled. Starpaw ran farther into the forest. Why does this always happen? Why me? Why no one else? Is the Dark Forest calling me?
