Wrenpaw yawned before watching her breath disappear into the air. It has been, and still is, a cold day and no amount of fluffing up of the fur is going to warm the young apprentice.

It has been a pretty slow day of hunting as well. Most prey would be burrowed deep beneath the earth at this point of time and Wrenpaw herself is actually feeling quite sleepy herself for once. Actually, she might consider going back to take a nap- but no, she can't. She still needed to hunt for the elders first.

The young she-cat pawed the ground, but it's so cold and- Wrenpaw's ear twitched, there was the rustling of some tiny prey sneaking about. Maybe, if it's something big, I'd get to head back to camp early! The young apprentice thought excitedly. Turns out to just be just a vole. But prey nonetheless and after tracking it for a good few pawsteps, Wrenpaw finally gave chase. It didn't take her too long to catch up to it and the tiny creature was soon trapped under her paw and killed with a bite to the neck before giving thanks to Starclan.

While caught in the chase, Wrenpaw had not notice the giant, looming structure that was very fast coming into view, but as soon as she did, the young aoorentice immediately forgot about her victory. It shouldn't hurt to explore it just a little right...? Wrenpaw thought as she buried the vole.

This is the first time she came across the abandoned farmhouse and it's worth exploring a little right? There's no harm in knowing your clan's territory just a little better. Right? Right!

Emberfang inhaled deeply, following the scent of the wayward apprentice as it moved closer toward the two-leg place. She wanted to snarl, the fuzzbrain was heading straight to where the twolegs kept the dogs on chains and the last thing Windclan needed was a lost apprentice. Especially one so young.

To be honest, Emberfang wasn't sure which cat this one was. There had been a few named recently and she'd attended their ceremony, inhaling so many scents together that she only remembered this one as being a part of the new cats. It wasn't Chalkpaw, who was her biggest concern, but still it was her duty to the clan to help any cat who needed her.

And this furball needed her, even if they didn't know it yet.

She'd picked up the scent during her border patrol, had been told to follow it. Thankfully, her long legs out paced the small ones of the little cat and she was catching up to the apprentice quickly. Tracking the cat wasn't hard either, she simply had to follow the paw prints in the snow. She'd already passed the place where the little cat had caught a vole. It was a good clean kill too, something even Emberfang would have been proud of at that age.

Just a few more paw steps and over a slight ridge and she caught sight of a small brown gold figure trotting through the snow, ever approaching the dangerous twolegs.

"You!" Emberfang snarled, hoping her voice would carry over the open landscape. She broke into a fast trot. "Fuzzbrain! Stop!"

Wrenpaw didn't exactly made it that far ahead since she first started for the twoleg place. The snow got a lot deeper along the way and the young apprentice is up to her chest in snow by now.

But the small cat isn't going to let a little bit of snow and the possible consequences of having wet fur stop her from exploring the area. Not having caught the scent of dogs yet as she trotted closer towards the structure. And if she can't even catch the stench of dogs in the area, there's probably no chance in Starclan she'll be able to catch the scent of the other cat coming her way.

Wrenpaw jumped when she heard a snarl, it was distant but she was pretty sure it was aiming towards her, hackles raised as she turned to face the cat who called out to her. But she (almost) instantly relaxed when the apprentice realized that it was just one of the older warriors from the clan.

The young apprentice got to know quite a few of them when she was out and about during her kithood but was not able to remember most of their names. She turned her back to the two leg place and went over to the she-cat.

As the little apprentice approached, battling the thick snow, Emberfang shivered, grumpy, cold, and wet, and just about williing to take it out on the measley scrap. Except she could see how young the apprentice actually was, barely out of the nursery. She probably hadn't known better. What she ought to have known was not to leave camp without her mentor. At least, until she learned the territory, which she clearly hadn't, because she was trotting happily towards one of the most dangerous places in Windclan, silly kit.

The apprentice stopped in front of her and Emberfang was put off to see that she wasn't even the least bit worried. The cat clearly had no idea what she had almost done to herself. Who was her mentor? Why would they let her out alone when she was so young? Emberfang still didn't let Chalkpaw leave the camp by himself. He was free to go with any apprentice or warrior, as long as he went with someone.

"What are you doing out here?" She growled, frightened and exasperated. The kit had nearly killed herself. "Don't you know where you were headed?"

There was barely a trace of panic or worry on the young apprentice's face as she approached the older warrior.

Her expression most certainly did change when she noticed the look on the other she cat's face. Wrenpaw found herself shrinking back slightly before her, something she doesn't do very often but it seemed serious this time.

She shrunk back further when she heard the tone of the growl being used, making her seem a lot smaller than usual. Wrenpaw swears that if she'd be smaller than a mouse if she shrunk back any more. Her ears pressed slightly closer to her head.

"I-I was hunting." The young she-cat meowed, gesturing slightly with a paw over to where she had buried the vole. Surely that was worth commending right? "I..I just thought that I could go explore the territory a little more...I mean, there's no harm in being more familiar with the area r-right..?" Wrenpaw mewed timidly.

The she-cat shrank deeper into the snow as Emberfang snarled at her. She knew she was frightening the little apprentice, but she didn't really care. The other cat had to learn, had to be disciplined. She wondered again who the mentor was so Emberfang could have a few words with them about responsibility. You can't just leave an apprentice to explore, not without knowing the dangers of the area.

But the more she thought about it, the more she understood it wasn't really the apprentice's fault. Her mentor, defiantly but not the apprentice. She hadn't known and her lack of knowledge wasn't her fault. Ignorance was bliss, but it was also dangerous. Emberfang sighed, calming down best she could when her ears were cold and her nose was starting to dry.

"You never explore without someone with you." She grumped. "What if you'd gotten hurt? Who would have known to help you?"

Wrenpaw saw the reason in the older warriors words. She always did listen to the voice of reason. Though she didn't seem to have any of her own so many times it had to be told to her by others. "I understand...sorry." She meowed quietly.

The young she cat straightened up again and neatened up her fur. Something she doesn't do very often but when she does, it's usually while in the presence of someone of way higher status than her. Or when she's nervous. She can't tell whether it's becoming a good habit or not.

Anyway, Wrenpaw did not want to go back to camp just yet, but from the looks of things, it would seem that she might just be getting her sorry hide dragged back to camp whether she wanted to head back or not. Still, there shoulldn't be any harm in asking this now right?

"Does this mean I have to head back to camp now..?"

She was mulified by the cat's apology. The young cat obviously knew she'd messed up and she was too little to really think ahead that much. It wasn't her fault. She would have to talk to her mentor. She'd flustered the apprentice, who was trying to straighten up. The young cat fidgeted quietly and Emberfang thought she was going to get an explanation or the name of her mentor or something.

Instead, the she-cat asked if she actually had to go back to camp and Emberfang had to admire her gumption. The little cat wouldn't be quelled. Maybe it was because she was young, maybe it was her personality, but she had to admire the small cats determination. She debated to herself.

"No." She grumbled, her tail flicking irritably. "No, I'll take you to see the two-leg place. But you have to promise me that you'll listen to everything I say. It's a dangerous."

She stood up, shaking snow from her paws, getting ready to lead the way. "What's your name?"

Wrenpaw couldn't believe simply asking would've worked. She could barely contain her excitement when she was told that they were not going back to camp just yet.

But of course she had to hold it all in. What if it was a test to show how much she's able to control herself. After all, how could you be a great warrior if you don't have self control?

"I'll listen to everything you say, I swear!" The little cat meowed as she followed after the warrior. Shaking off the snow from her own paws as well though it didn't do much good in the long run.

"I'm Wrenpaw."

She paused for a moment before speaking up again "And, um, yours? If you don't mind me asking?"

She appreciated that the little apprentice got straight to the point. Unlike with Chalkpaw, who spent most of his time bathering and stuttering, too nervous to actually say anything, Wrenpaw just admitted the details Emberfang had begged to know, then asked a question of her own.

Even in her own head, Emberfang realized just how terrible that sounded.

"I'm Emberfang." She meowed, wheeling around to slowly make her way towards the Twoleg place. She kept her pace short and slow, so the younger cat could keep up.

It wasn't that she hated Chalkpaw, in fact, she was very proud of him. He was destined to be an outstanding warrior, even if she did mess him up, which she probably would. He was charming when he relaxed enough and she supposed that having that many female siblings would drive even the sanest tom to anxiety. He would grow out of it, she had no doubt. He was capable and she was working on his confidence and eventually, with a lot of time, he would be an even bigger asset to the clan.

But, that didn't mean his nerves didn't make her nervous. She hated how long it took him to ask something, if only because it made her uncomfortable. It was a bold obvious reaction to her personality and she hated being reminded of how unsociable and frightening she could be. It wasn't like she meant to be that way. Other cats were just too confusing.

Spiderstep was. He swerved into so many moods, she'd nearly gotten lost in them and forgotten that everything was a joke to him, even her. And Ravenpaw, who was still an apprentice, but acted like a warrior, which would have been understandable, since Ravenpaw was a medicine cat but she wasn't Windclan's medicine cat. What made her think Emberfang had to be polite to her? Or Foxpaw, who'd been rude and little annoying, for no reason. They all confused her and so she avoided them.

Emberfang looked back at little Wrenpaw, "Keep up.... If I'm going to fast tell me." She observed the tiny cat and her own long legs. "I don't think I was ever that small in my life." She meowed wiry.
