He thought. em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);"If another cat attacks me, they would be big and strong, but i would be small and fast.../em" A meow of greeting broke Snowpaw from his thoughts and he turned to see Breezescar, his mother, half of her pretty face unmarked by a long and ugly scar, caused by a badger, she had told him as a kit. br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);" / "Hi there, my handsome little kit" she quickly padded over to him and bent her head down to give Snowpaw quick, loving licks on the top of his head.

"Why are you and the other apprentices back so early?" Breezescar questioned. "Ummm..." Just as Snowpaw was about to explain why he was sent back, he looked over Breezscar's shoulder to see the gorse tunnel shake, then, Graycloud pushing his way through it, holding a squirrel in his jaws. As Breezescar turned her head to see who was coming into camp, Snowpaw slithered away towards the apprentice den, just in time before his mother and Graycloud could see his black tail-tip disappear into the lichen entrance./div

Snowpaw padded over to his nest and sat down, beginning to wash his ears by licking his paw and rubbing it over them. "I'm sorry, Snowpaw" Snowpaw stopped mid-lick to look over at Silverpaw, looking at him sadly. "I know I shouldn't tease you about your height, it's just-" "It's fine" Snowpaw interrupted. "It's not your fault, or mine...I...Let's just forget it ever happened" "ok" Silverpaw replied. Snowpaw stood up and turned a few times in his nest, settled down, resting his black, bushy tail-tip over his nose and let the closing darkness of sleep overtake him./div
