Bramblepaw sat quietly, watching as Rowanpaw and Velvetflicker spoke quietly in the corner of the medicine cat den. He sighed, wishing that his mentor would hurry up. His ears flicked slightly, hearing Maplestrike assigning the hunting patrols for the day. He cocked his head curiously as he heard Bouncepaw’s name called, but no sign that Hailclaw was going with the patrol. Then he shook his head. Of course. She was due to kit any day now.
Jerked from his reverie by Velvetflicker’s gentle nudge, Bramblepaw stood quickly and padded after her, smiling and waving his tail at Rowanpaw, who grinned back. As they trotted out of camp, Tumblepaw grinned at them, and faked a few sparing moves. Bramblepaw grinned and faked back before the two brothers were both gently turned away by their mentors and marched firmly out of camp.

Falconwatcher and Mottledleap shook their heads in amusement as the three apprentices darted through the grass along the border, searching for the stale scent they had found last time.
“It was somewhere around here.” Bouncepaw insisted, nose to the ground and he wove through the grass.
“No it wasn’t, it was closer to the LeafClan border!” Cinderpaw countered.
“Guys, I already told you!” Flickerpaw interjected, “It’s by the ConiferClan border!”
The two warriors chuckled, shaking their heads. “Should we tell them?” Mottledleap murmured, grinning.
“Nah, they’ll figure it out eventually.” Falconwatcher said, purring in amusement.
Flickerpaw, the closest to the two adults, flicked an ear, catching the end of Falconwatcher’s sentence. She glanced back at the two adults, then sat down, thinking furiously. “Bouncepaw, Cinderpaw!” she called, “Come’ere for a sec.”
The other two apprentices bounded over curiously, “What’s up Flickerpaw?” Bouncepaw asked curiously.
"Keep your voice down." Flickerpaw insisted, glancing back at the grownups. Falconwatcher and Mottledleap watched, curiously, and the three apprentices whispered together for several moments. Every so often, they caught fragments of sentences, “the scent”, “you said”, “so clearly”, and finally, “Bingo! Let’s go!” And the three darted off, calling excitedly for the warriors to follow them. Glancing at each other, Mottledleap and Falconwatcher shrugged, padding after the excited apprentices.
“It seems that they figured it out.” Falconwatcher said, mildly surprised.
“It seems so.” Mottledleap agreed, “I wonder how they did it.”
“HA!” The cry rang through the air, startling a bird from it’s roost, “Whoops, sorry! But come here, we found the scent! It’s on this tree!”
The two warriors picked up their pace, quickly catching sight of the three proud apprentices, sitting around the trunk of a dead tree. “Good job.” Falconwatcher said, his tone mildly impressed, “How did you do it?”
The older two apprentices blushed and scuffed their feet. Flickerpaw looked mildly embarrassed. “Flickerpaw did it, really.” Cinderpaw admitted finally, “She asked what made us so sure of where the scent was. I was sure it was on the LeafClan border because I got my feet wet in a stream.”
“And I was sure it was at the OakClan border because I stepped on some oak leaves.” Bouncepaw added.
“And I was sure it was on the ConiferClan border because I saw a giant dead tree.” Flickerpaw finished, “So, we just had to figure out what place on the territory had all those things. Here there’s a stream, a giant dead tree and a living oak tree. And then Bouncepaw found the scent.”
“Well done.” Mottledleap purred, “Now, what is the scent?”
~~~
Velvetflicker padded back into camp with a mouthful of herbs, Bramblepaw by her side. “Velvetflicker,” he asked, “Do you want me to sort the herbs so that you can check on Hailclaw?”
Velvetlficker stopped, slightly surprised. Setting down the herbs, she nodded, “That would be very helpful, thank you Bramblepaw.”
The young apprentice grinned, quickly picking up the herbs and bounding off to the med cat den. Velvetflicker padded over to the nursery, where Hailclaw had been staying for the past few days. She stepped inside, allowing her eyes a moment to adjust to the dim light, then approached the queen.
“How are you feeling today love?” She asked, smiling gently.
Hailclaw smiled back, then winced a little, “I..I keep having this pain in my stomach. Walking, sitting or laying down doesn’t help.”
Velvetflicker frowned slightly, laying a paw gently on the molly’s side. “Hmm.” she said, “I’ll be right back dear.” she turned, about to head to her den to get kitting herbs, when Bramblepaw ducked inside.
“I thought that I’d bring these over, just in case.” he said, laying down the kitting herbs that they had.
Velvetflicker smiled and nodded approvingly, turning back to Hailclaw, “Okay love, I think that you’ve started kitting. There’s nothing to worry about, especially at this stage. Just take deep breaths, that should help with the pain."
