Meadowpaw had slipped out of camp alone, without her mentor, exploring BoulderClan for the first time. She sprinted out, wanting to run away from it all. She was no longer Kitsune, the eager, entergetic kit. She was Meadowpaw, BoulderClan apprentice, and now everything fell into place. Tears streamed out behind her as she ran. She remembered nothing much of her life as a kittypet, in fact, she hadn't known she was one, hadn't known BoulderClan felt this. Why didn't Mom tell me? she thought, feeling hurt. Her mother hadn't told her. She may have thought she had been protecting Meadowpaw, but all she ended up doing was making her feel even more out of place when she finally figured it out. Meadowpaw jumped, not stopping but still running when she jumped, onto a large boulder, kind of loose, but she didn't know that. She lowered her head, the tears still going. Suddenly she heard a twig snap behind her, quickly stopped silently crying and wiped her eyes on her paw, and whipped around on her rock. "Who's there?" she called.

Deadpaw had noticed when Meadowpaw left camp so he decided to follow her, it wasn't safe to be out alone, she could've gotten attacked by a fox, he wasn't supposed to be out here alone either but he knew something was wrong. As he crept through the bushes, his eyes glowing in the shadows and ginger fur looking darker, he watched Meadowpaw on the rock, he was about to step forward when he stepped on a twig, he kn ew Meadowpaw would hear it. "Its Deadpaw" He answered her question.

Meadowpaw's eyes narrowed a bit. "You were following me, weren't you!" she cried, not exactly meaning it as a question, "I'm just fine. I don't need some apprentice following me, even if I was born a worthless, stupid kittypet, as you all call them." She looked at him indignantly.

"Hey, I never said you were worthless, I think you'd make a fine clan cat, if your so angry because oif Bulletfire's words, don't let them get to you, he's the worthless stupid pieceof fox-dung, not you, and I followed you because your not supposed to be out without your mentor" He said, hopping up onto the rock next to her.

Suddenly the rock gave a huge groan and tumbled down. Meadowpaw let out a shriek and tumbled down the rocky hillside (I dunno XD) and soon hit the ground at the bottom with a thud. She rolled over onto her stomach and looked back. Her eyes grew wide in horror as the huge boulder came crashing down towards them, and scrambled to her paws, but knew it was too late. The rock was only a mouse-length away and she was too close to run, though her little paws worked frantically.

Deadpaw didn't know the rock was so loose, when he heard Meadowpaw's shreik, he yowled. As he hit the ground beside her, he watched the rock come down and watched her try to get away. Deadpaw grabbed her by the scruff, and using his long, powerful legs to his advantage and hers, pushed off the ground and away from the crashing rock. "Sorry"

The rock was only a mouse-length from Meadowpaw when it finally crashed. Her fur was puffed out and she yowled in terror when she noticed it was on her tail. She tugged and tugged and finally pulled it out, tumbling backwards into Deadpaw. She fell onto him with a cry of surprise, quickly getting off, licking her bloody tail, feeling hot with embarassment.

"You okay? I mean other than your tail?" Deadpaw circled the big rock and looked at a crack on the side of it. "Dang, this is my fualt, if I hadn't jumped on the rock your tail would e completely fine" He circled back around to the front where Meadowpaw stand.

"Its okay, you didn't know. I'm fine," Meadowpaw mewed, smoothing her fur with her tongue. She stopped and looked up the hill. It was steep with a lot of sharp, jagged rocks, and the ground looked as if it might not hold. "I don't know how we're going to get back up."

"Climbing maybe?" He didn't actually think that was a possible choice but it was worth a shot.

Meadowpaw shrugged. "Worth a try." She placed one paw carefully on the hill-side, then the next, avoiding the rock to the left of her paws. She made it a fox-length and was about to give a cry of delight, when the ground gave in and she fell in the dirt. It collapsed on her and for a moment she was buried alive. She gave a muffled cry, but it never made a sound. She broke out of the loose ground, gasping. It hadn't been too much of a threat, but it had scared her. She clambered out and, not caring, ran down the hillside. It didn't collapse as she ran and when she reached the bottom, panting, she shook her fur, getting some of the loose dirt off. She turned to Deadpaw. "Not. An. Option," she mewed, "It takes a careful cat to get up that."

"Then what do you suggest?" Deadpaw watched her tumble down and then he tried, also falling back down.

"I don't know." Meadowpaw examined the ground, then the jagged rocks. "I have an idea!" she cried suddenly. She dashed to a large maple tree and tore some bark off with her teeth, though it took some time, 8 thick strips. She threw them next to her and gestured for Deadpaw to come over. Not looking to see if he saw, she took some sticky sap and stuck it on her paws, then placed the sticky paws on 4 of the strips of bark. Then she turned to look at Deadpaw.

"So whats this plan?" His eyes sparkled with curiosity. "I don't understand, what're you doing?" He asked as he watched her pull off the bark then place her sap covered paws on them.

"You'll see," she mewed, "Put some sap on your paws, you need to for this to work, then put the bark strips on."
