''BirchClan’s forest is filled with a variety of trees, especially birches. There is moss and bent grass underfoot with an array of flowers. There are worn away paths from BirchClan cats have taken for countless moons. With all the Wildlife, there's is always something audible going on and it is quite a noisy place with all the song birds. Scattered a crossed there territory is small ponds, babbling brooks and small creeks. Some of the hills that roll a crossed are sharp and slanted.''

=
Claws ripped through Rainpaw’s shoulder. Searing pain pierced him. Swiftly, he spun around to meet his opponent. He reared onto his hind legs. The she-cat he was fighting flashed out a paw, scoring his flank. Rainpaw flew over her head and twisted in the air landing squarely on her back. In the midst of battle, Rainpaw dug his claws in and bit her shoulder. =====

=
Shadowtail disappeared through the bushes without giving Rainpaw time to let go of her ear. Rainpaw spitted out her ear tip with satisfaction. Whiteblaze nodded, his eyes glowing with pride and his mouth dripping with blood.=====

=
Rainpaw charged into the tom’s side. Instead of Redclaw flying into the thorn barrier, he knocked Rainpaw off his feet. He was sent awkwardly to the ground. With a thump, he fell onto his back. Splayed on his back, his belly was exposed. Thinking quickly, he stuck his limbs in the air with his claw unsheathed as Redclaw jumped on him. =====

=
Snowpaw sprang out of nowhere and dived at the snarling tom, tripping him onto his side. In a heartbeat he was back on his paws but he was a heartbeat too late. Rainpaw barreled into him and successfully pushed him into the thorns. =====

=
Rainpaw raked his claws a crossed the tom’s face and Redclaw hobbled away. Snowpaw and Rainpaw shared a smug look. “BirchClan have won the battle! We will set the new boundaries tomorrow.” Brackenstar’s defiant yowl was followed by the supporting growls of the rest of BirchClan.=====

=
“Oh yes, Rainpaw! I loved the way we sent Redclaw running for his life! Did you see me leap out at him? He didn’t expect that and the way you raked your claws a crossed his ugly face! Great StarClan that was awesome!” Snowpaw’s yellow eyes glowed.=====

=
Brackenstar flicked his tail. BirchClan warriors soared on light paws back to their territories. The foggy land transformed into a jumble of thin light brown trees and thick leaves. Rainpaw let his fur lay flat again. He let out a victorious yowl as they entered camp. Brackenstar leaped up onto a low branch of a large tree. Underneath was a large hollow boulder. =====

=
Most of the clan had already gathered beneath the tree branch. “We have won the battle! We will mark our new addition on tomorrows dawn patrol. We thank our warriors for fighting like all of TigerClan. If they don’t respect the boarders, I don’t care if they forgot or they’re an apprentice, anyone who crosses the border will be punished.” Brackenstar yowled and raised a paw with his claws unsheathed.=====

=
“I think we have two apprentices who deserve the first pick from the freshkill pile tomorrow. Rainpaw and Snowpaw were as strong and fierce as any warrior, if not more.” Leafclaw meowed. Whiteblaze and Goldenpelt nodded, their eyes shining.=====

=
The other apprentices looked envois. They hadn’t got to come to battle. Rainpaw and Snowpaw were the most senior apprentices and would be receiving their warrior names soon. “I agree. First pick off the freshkill pile and they are coming to the gathering.” Brackenstar announced. He turned his head tin the medicine cats direction. “Icefeather, are you ready for some patients?”=====

=
Rainpaw just started to notice the pain in his shoulder, the throbbing in his leg, his side that felt like it was on fire and the prickly feeling in his face that made him want to screech out to StarClan. He dropped to the ground, crouching. “Rainpaw are you ok?” his sister, Snowpaw, gasped. =====

=
Angrily, Rainpaw sat down. “Oh, fine. First we caught a border patrol. They practically walked into our claws! We attacked and they went flying back to camp, and then came back with more cats. We ambushed them. The first cat who attacked me was Streampaw.”=====

=
Rainpaw’s whiskers twitched. “So as I was saying, Streampaw clawed my shoulder. I turned around and reared onto my hind paws. She got my flank with her claws but I leaped into the air, twisted and landed on her back. I sunk my claws in deep and bit her shoulder for payback. Then when I let her go, she ran faster than a rabbit.” =====

=
Rainpaw gave him a stern look. “Shadowtail tackled me and bit my leg! She was madder than a fox in a fit! I would have been crow-food if Whiteblaze hadn’t come to help me. I was surprised her tail didn’t come off the way he yanked it! Then I could call her Shadownotail! While she was focused on Whiteblaze, I locked my teeth in her ear. She ran off before I could let go and her whole ear practically came off!” The kits gasped in surprise as Rainpaw told them of the battle.=====

=
“Rainpaw, you mouse brain! Now they will have nightmares for a moon!” Finchsong snapped and swept her two kits, Darkkit and Frostkit, close to her belly. “Featherfur will be angry too. Come on kits. Rainpaw, use your brain next time!” the angry queen growled.=====

=
Rainpaw took a step back to let the her pass. Her eyes scorched his fur as she passed. He met her gaze with a proud stare. Who put ants in her pelt? He raised his muzzle and twitched his ears. Finchsong gave him a feint hiss.=====
