I do not on any of the warriors except for my OCs.


(Thistlepaw's POV)

"Stop splashing me Thistlepaw", my littermate, Stormpaw, complained.

"You're no fun", I said as I splashed around in the puddles left from the rain. "We're supposed to be helping Moonpaw look for herbs, not splashing", he said.

I stuck my tongue out at him and looked among the many trees in our territory. "I think I found some catmint", I said. While I picked the leaves, Stormpaw was looking for more herbs. I finished, but when I turned around, Stormpaw was nowhere to be found.

"Stormpaw", I called. No answer.

Suddenly, a yowl rang through the air. I ran straight towards it to see Stormpaw fighting a much older rogue. He caught a glimpse of me and we both nodded as an unheard message was passed between us.

I let out a caterwaul and jumped on the rogue's back. I raked my claws down his back and Stormpaw swiped at his underbelly. He stumbled around and knocked me off. I shook it off and swiped at him with my silver claws. I saw him get Stormpaw across side. Stormpaw stumbled and then fell. I jumped up and kept coming at the rogue when he finally ran away, but not without getting my side also. I couldn't stand anymore and collapsed.

A hunting patrol ran up and asked me what happened. The last thing I remember was saying a single word, "Rogue." Then I closed my eyes.

I woke up later in the medicine cat den. I yawned and blinked my eyes. "Don't get up, your wound is still a little fresh", Jayfeather, a handsome grey tomcat with bright blue eyes and our clan's medicine cat, told me.

I always had a crush on Jayfeather, but he's a medicine cat and he is in love with Cinderheart which only he, Cinderheart, and I know. It still couldn't hurt to be friends with him.

"Where's Stormpaw", I asked the tomcat. "Sleeping, like everybody else", he said. I saw he was looking at Silverpelt. "Why are you still up", I asked. "Have to take care of you apprentices", he said.

I stood up and winced at the pain, but walked over to the blind cat. "Why are you so grumpy", I asked Jayfeather. "Why do you want to hang around a grumpy cat", he countered. "I don't think you're grumpy, I think you're nice, but everybody else says you're grumpy", I told him. He looked at me with those deep sightless eyes and smiled.

Then he turned back to silverpelt. I was glad he couldn't see me blush. I leaned on him and asked, "Do you ever wish you could see silverpelt?" "No because you don't need sight to see where your ancestors are", he said. I looked up at silverpelt and sighed. "You're a great friend Jayfeather", I told him and our tails intertwined. "Thanks Thistlepaw", he said and I soon fell asleep once more.

(Moonpaw's POV)

The hunting patrol Firestar sent out came back without the prey, but with a wounded Stormpaw and Thistlepaw, my littermates.

They took them into the medicine den and Jayfeather and I treated them. I watched as Jayfeather got certain herbs and started to treat them and told me to get more moss.

On my way out, I saw Jayfeather lap at Thistlepaw's wound and a tinge of jealousy coursed through me. The only reason I wanted to be a medicine cat apprentice was to spend more time with Jayfeather.

I saw the way Thistlepaw would always talk to Jayfeather when she wasn't busy with apprentice duties and Jayfeather would actually smile at her when she would act childish.

Finally as silverpelt ran across the sky we started to go to sleep. In the middle of the night, Thistlepaw woke up. I watched as Jayfeather told her something and she lay back down.

He just looked at silverpelt, the moonlight glistening off his silver fur. Thistle paw got back up, winced, and padded over to Jayfeather. I watched in silence as they talked and then he looked over and smiled at her.

Ice ran through my veins as she leaned into his fur and their tails intertwined. I just stared as they sat there like that. I slowly went back to sleep, bitterness imbedded in my heart.

(Stormpaw's POV)

I never thought that I would feel fear when I got attacked by that rogue and saw Thistlepaw get thrown off of him into the dirt.

It was like everything paused as I saw my sister lying on the ground, not moving. When she got up, I fought full force just for her. Suddenly he swiped at me and knocked me out.

I woke up when someone stumbled over me. I looked around and saw Thistlepaw get back up and start chasing around a butterfly. Jayfeather was chuckling at her childish antics and I couldn't help, but smile too.

I stood up and started chasing around the butterfly too. I felt like a kit, carefree and fun-loving. When we finally stopped, we were laughing like crazy.

Jayfeather was smiling at us. "I've never seen Jayfeather look happy", I whispered to Thistlepaw. "He's always happy, you just don't see it", she whispered back.

Jayfeather came over and said, "You can go now, I think you have apprentice duties." "Thanks Jayfeather", I said running off.

My mentor, Brackenfur, told me to get more moss for the elders.

While I was doing that, I saw Moonpaw run out of the medicine den with Thistlepaw and Jayfeather hot on her tail.

I saw a kit playing as the cats ran. I ran and picked her up by the scruff, getting out of the way just as Moonpaw ran by. "Wait, Moonpaw", Thistlepaw called as they ran.

"Snowkit", the kit's mother called. I saw a ginger colored she-cat run out of the nursery and straight for the kit.

"Thank you Stormpaw", she said taking the kit from me. "It's okay Squirrelflight", I told her. "Aw mom", the kit whined as they went back. "You were almost run over", she said disappearing into the nursery with the kit.

I went to fetch the moss once more for the elders.
