Stripepaw darted ahead, skimming up a tree and leaping into the branches.

"Quiet!" Willowpaw meowed, "You'll scare of all the prey!"
Just as he finished his sentence, the scent of prey washed over him. He knew prey was scarce, and took a minute to finally catch the meal.
"I goff un!" The apprentice's voice was muffled because of the mouse in his jaws.

"Zo do fi!" she yowled through a mouthful of squirrel fur. She sat down on a sturdy branch and ripped it open, taking a bite out of the delicious rodent. Her eyes met Willowpaw's and she looked away, slightly embarassed.

Willowpaw flicked his tail nervously, and snacked down on the plump-ish mouse.
He noticed her clouded eyes, and wondered.....

She purred heavily. "So... Willowpaw," she said slowly. "Can I trust you with a secret? Because... after all, friends should be able to be trusted... and I want you to trust me..."

Willowpaw's eyes got serious. He knew if she was making a big deal about it, then it really was a big deal. He braced himself for something that could change his life, perhaps, or more unlikely make it better. But nah. It might be something, and he would have to hide it. It might be something, and he could run away with impatience. Either way, he nodded slowly.
"I trust you, and whatever you have to say, I'm ready."

"My mother..." she began slowly. "Is Tigerstripe... and my father... is Atroxfire... they sent me and Coldpaw here to try and destroy ShadeClan." She paused. "But I'm not on her side anymor-"
"Traitor!"
Tigerstripe flew from a neighboring tree, rocketing at Willowpaw. Stripepaw yowled and slashed her mother's face. "C'mon!" she yowled to Willowpaw, leaping to another branch and then another. "We can out run her!"

Willowpaw gasped- not because of her secret, but because of Tigerstripe's sudden appearance. He unsheathed his claws, and darted around. He bared his teeth, and flattened his ears just as he had seen other warriors do.

Tigerstripe yowled and dove at Willowpaw, going for his neck. Stripepaw knocked her mother out of the way, sending the dark brown tabby she-cat crashing to the forest floor.
"Over here," she yowled, diving into a cramped hollow that stank of owl.

Willowpaw hissed and slashed mightily at Tigerstripe.
Half-missing, he whipped around and darted into the hollow. Willowpaw took a gasp of air before curling up in the hollow.

(They're in a tree...)
Tigerstripe leaped at the hollow, gripping onto the tree bark with her powerful, hooked claws. Her right forepaw reached in, slashing at the air. But luckily, the she-cat couldn't fit through the apprentice-sized opening. She spat in anger, backing up and perched her hind legs on the rim of the hollow while pulling her forepaws downward, so she was gripped onto the tree like a squirrel.
"I think she's going to keep us here," whispered Stripepaw.

"Uh...wouldn't a ShadeClan hunting patrol or something eventually find us?" The tom meowed, but something negative clouded his thoughts.
What if he kills them too?

(Tigerstripe is she-cat...)
"I doubt it," she sighed. "Tigerstripe looks just like the tree... and we reek of owl." She paused. "Stay here. I have a plan." She leaned her head out of the hollow. "HEY TIGERSTRIPE! You're such a stupid furball!"
Tigerstripe turned around and poked her head in, causing Stripepaw to back up. "Oh is that so?" she jeered. "What do you think I am, stupid?"
"Actually, I do," Stripepaw hissed slyly. "Mostly because... you took my plan seriously."
The vicious she-cat blinked. "Plan?"
Stripepaw gave a fake moan and rolled her eyes. "Become good friends with the apprentice, kill him in the night and nobody will expect me."
"Hmm... fine," Tigerstripe spat, a look of defeat on her face. Stripepaw grabbed Willowpaw's scruff and threw him out of the hollow, leaping out after them. The two crashed into the icy water, rapids tossing them away...
