| - A cold breeze ruffled through Mintpaws fur, leaf-bare was coming, and it was coming fast. Even the fresh-kill started to started to taste hard and frozen. Everything came to earliar these days. There would be enough time for Queens to kit or to even let them survive. The kits would just die off like Mintpaws brother did. Mintpaw gave a smooth lick down her paw, stopping at her paws she swooped her fore-arm over her head and behind her ears. She repeated it and then plopped on the ground, exausted. Eaglepaw stared down at her and laughed, "hey! Hey Mintpaw, I think you missed a spot, like everywhere!" Mintpaw looked back with anger in her eyes, "shutup Eaglepaw, your pelt looks no better!" and stormed off. She stopped by the fresh-kill pile and grabbed a vole and started to eat it until Troutpaw came up behind her and purred "sorry about Eaglepaw, he can be a jerk at times." Mintpaw looked back and nodded. Mintpaws fur tingled as Troutpaw padded away and sat next to Dawnpaw. He licked her shoulder and stared up at Mintpaw. She looked away and walked away with her vole and sat next to Cherrypaw. "Hey" she purred towards her and ripped off a peice of meat and gulped it down. Cherrypaw giggled and cackled "you should of heard the joke Twigpaw just told me! It was so funny!" Mintpaw looked over at Twigpaw and laughed as he tried to smooth out his fur. "He said-" Jaywing interupted her conversation, "Mintpaw hurry up and eat! We have to go to the Sandy hollow with Troutpaw and Beetlepelt!" Mintpaw gave a quick purr as both her and Cherrypaw giggled. Jaywing padded towards the entrance and waved his tail for Mintpaw to come. She abandoned her vole and padded after him. Jaywing greeted her and they padded into the Sandy hollow. Troutpaw waved his tail at her and returned to lunging at Beetlepelt. Mintpaw blushed and meowed "so what are we doing today?" Jaywing stopped and purred, "you and Troutpaw are going to fight." Mintpaws heart sank as she choked out " w-why?" Jaywing laughed and mewed "because you BOTH need practice." Mintpaw sighed and padded over to Beetlepelt and sat down, waiting for Troutpaw. She licked her paw and drew it over her head, trying to fix her ruffled fur, remembering Eaglepaws comment. Troutpaw flashed a look at her that said your pelt looks fine.. Mintpaw streched up on her back legs and sprung at Troutpaw, falling to the ground swallowing dust. She spat it out and coughed as Troutpaw mewed "oh I'm so sorry!" He padded up to her and nudged her up. Mintpaw sighed and mewed "I'm no good at this." "Yes you are." Troutpaw mewed back and growled "now come at me again!" Mintpaw sighed and lunged at him, knocking him to the ground. "Whoah!" Troutpaw exclaimed and scrambled underneath her. Mintpaw held him down with all her strengh, and growled "hit me with your best shot." Troutpaw laughed and kicked her off, only to be held down again by Mintpaw. "Wow your quick!" He snarled as Jaywing mewed "ok! Thats enough for today!" Mintpaw and Troutpaw padded back to camp only to seperate when they got there. Why could Troutpaw like her and not Dawnpaw....
