Leaves shook as Heatherpaw lept onto the nearest branch of the Herb Tree, her claws sinking into the thick bark as she scrambled to right herself on top of the branch. Her creamy tan fur glowed in the weak sunlight. She stood, claws grasping the branch, and lept upwards again, grabbing hold another one of the trees thick claw-like branches.

Goldenpaw stalked through the leaves quietly, her golden brown pelt blending with the fallen leaves. Foulpaw was behind her, they did almost everything together, they were best friend let alone brother and sister. Foulpaws ginger and white pelt didn't blend in as well but he was stealthy, his large paws making no noise on the soft leaves as the two siblings moved towards the Herb Tree.

Palewind crouched near the Herb tree in a tall patch of grass. His green eyes spotted Heatherpaw climbing the tree, and Goldenpaw and Foulpaw sneaking toward the tree. His whiskers twitched in amusement as he began to stalk quietly toward the apprentices. His paws made no sounds as they moved swiftly over the ground. Then he jumped out at Foulpaw, batting him over the head with a sheathed paw. "What are all you guys doing?" He purred.

Heatherpaw wasn't expecting anyone else to be there. Once Plaewind spoke out, she squeaked in surprise and lost her grip on the branch, plummeting towards the ground. Only her flailing paws saved her from very sore bones as her outstretched claws hooked into the branch's bark, pulling against her claw. She hissed and hauled herself up, flattening her body against the branch. "Palewind, you scared me out of my fur!" Heatherpaw yowled down, unable to stop a smile from spreading despite her throbbing claw.

Foulpaw leaped up in surprise, lean, hard, muscles and sharp claws helping him to grip high up on the tree trunk "Palewind!" Goldenpaw squealed in alarm, rearing up then coming back down, realizing it was just Palewind "You scared the heck out of us!"

Palewind chuckled as he looked around at the group of apprentices. His green eyes were gleaming. "I didn't think I would startle you that much." He meowed. "I'm sorry though." Then he looked over at Heatherpaw, his eyes showing a little concern. "Are you alright?" He asked. "You almost fell out of that tree."

"No thanks to you." Heatherpaw retorted, leaping down gingerly to the next branch down. "But I never hit the ground did I? So I must be fine." She smiled sheepishly at her comment, unable to hold it back.

Foulpaw climbed the rest of the way up the trunk, landing on the same branch as Heatherpaw. The branch started to shake and Foulpaw realized his massive weight plus Heatherpaw might break the branch so he moved to a thicker one. Goldenpaw ran up after her brother "You didn't scare me!" Goldenpaw said, being her usual proud self.

"Well I'm glad you're okay." Palewind meowed, looking at Heatherpaw. He chuckled again at Goldenpaw's comment, and turned his green gaze to her. "I didn't scare you?" He asked. "Then why did you squeal and rear up in the air?" He sat down and wrapped his creamy brown tail around his white paws.

Heatherpaw smiled down at Palewind and meowed, "Well, we got up here, how come you haven't yet?" She teased. "You're not getting old are you Palewind?" Heatherpaw taunted, leaping up another branch as if to prove something.

Foulpaw and Goldenpaw laughed. Goldenpaw pulled Foulpaw's tail and scrambled upward as he leaped at her. Foulpaw lost his footing and skidded down the tree, landing on his paws. His fur was fluffed up so he looked twice his size and his back was arched "Don't eve do that again!~" He hissed to Goldenpaw

"Hey!" Palewind meowed, looking at Heatherpaw. "I'm not that old! Watch this." Then he jumped as high as he could, hooking his sharp claws into the tree trunk. He pulled himself upwards until he was above all the apprentices. Then he sat down on a branch think enough to hold his weight, and wrapped his tail around his paws. "There, are you guys happy? I'm in the tree."

"I can get higher!" Heatherpaw meowed, leaping upwards and climbing through the branches until she sat three branches above Palewind. "Beat that!" Heatherpaw meowed, puffing out her chest fur in silent pride.

"Bet I can go higher!" Goldenpaw hooked onto the trunk and kept pulling herself upward till she was almost to the top. "Maybe thats too high" Foulpaw sat angrily on the ground. He got to his paws and walked off, disappearing into the bushes.

Palewind looked up at the apprentices, Heatherpaw and Goldenpaw. "Okay." He meowed. "You two win. I'm not going any higher." Then he looked down to see Foulpaw walking away. "Foulpaw!" He called. "Come back!" Then he quickly descended the tree and looked in the direction the apprentice had gone. "What's wrong?" He asked.
