Aspenwood 

Shadowclan Warrior 

Grumbling to himself, Aspenwood’s orange eyes were narrowed. The apprentices were extra rowdy today, he didn’t understand why… Well of course he knew, they were in a new territory.. The youngsters were excited about a new start. Letting out a small sigh through his nostrils, Aspenwood couldn't help but feel a bit of depression as of lately.. He had to leave Juncostar and Mercuryrose behind. The he dark tabby knew that Ravenstar was secretly carrying that grief as well, but the Shadowclan leader couldn’t openly grieve about that, instead looking after his clan. 

“Greenpaw, stay away from the water.” Aspenwood called over, watching the young apprentice playing with Redpaw and a couple of others. The young tom had been on high alert since that patrol discovered the deceased deer. Who knew where the predator was residing.. Either underground or in the water.. It lived somewhere. Aspenwood kept walking, feeling slightly anxious. The tom felt like something was watching them, something was definitely off. A soft hiss was heard and it caused Aspenwood to look around 

“Stop!” Aspenwood ordered, turning around and searching frantically.. Suddenly, a couple of cracks were heard along with a shriek of surprise coming from Greenpaw.. Aspenwood looked towards the direction of the young apprentice’s paws.. Did he just step on eggs?
