Siblings. The only enemy you can not live without.
"Why does she always do this?" sunlight blinked through the frond of the luminous forest. It was not much past sunrise but the small chill in the air felt like it was still dawn. It was the beginning of green-leaf so the birds were everywhere, singing along with the wind. Mistypaw tried to ignore her brothers complaining but wanted to comfort him at the same time.
"Mosspaw's cunning but lazy. She knows how to look after herself but when the time comes for us to finally hunting training she disappears." Mistypaw meowed. Mosspaw was their younger sister. She always disappeared. She always also fretted about not having hunting training enough. The irony, thought Mistypaw. Her brother, Stonepaw carried large brown rabbit between his strong grey jaw. His pelt was the same as Mistypaw's but more pale. They both looked like their mother. They padded grudgingly along the woodlands hoping to come across their sister. They honestly were just padding aimlessly around for nothing.
"At least we have this rabbit!" Stonepaw meowed as he puffed out his chest. Mistypaw looked at him but wanted to find her sister more than take pride in their catch. Mosspaw had disappeared after they had caught the rabbit without her. Mistypaw let out a big sigh as she collapsed to the ground with a whine. Stonepaw sighed with her as he set down the rabbit and lied elegantly beside her.
"I wonder if she even knows that we are looking for her. I give up!" Mistypaw whined into her paws which was where her head lay. They had only been apprentices for half a moon and Mosspaw thinks she knows the territory in the back of her head. They had smelt the rabbit right out of camp after arguing with Mosspaw to sneak out. Stonepaw and Mistypaw caught it while Mosspaw probably snuck out of camp. They did not notice for a bit until their mentors asked them to find Mosspaw for hunting training. Nowhere to be seen.
"Let's head back" Stonepaw nodded as he meowed the words. Mistypaw got up from where she sat and the two started heading back to camp. With only a few fox-lengths into their walk she spotted Leopardfoot in the distance. Her mentor was looking around frantically until she spotted Stonepaw and Mistypaw. Mistypaw lowered her ears as her mentor padded towards them.
"So she did disappear again?" asked the black she-cat with her gaze on the two apprentices. Mistypaw sighed as Stonepaw nodded with his eyes shining. Leopardfoot glared at the ground. Mistypaw could tell her mind was racing. Mistypaw just wanted this mess to be over and head back to camp. "I will tell Goldenflower to look for her apprentice. Me and your father will head out and continue our training" Leopardfoot meowed. Mistypaw was envious of Stonepaw for having their fun father as a mentor. The siblings headed behind Leopardfoot back to the camp to gather their father Thrushpelt. None of the siblings besides Mosspaw looked like the tom but Mistypaw swore that Stonepaw had his tail.
"I wonder what kind of training we are doing today! Flying in the trees like squirrels? Or speeding through the forest like rabbits being chased by dogs?" As he wet on he pounced. Leopardfoot looked back at the two irritated and did not have to say a word for the two to be quiet. Her gaze told them more than a twoleg place of words. Stonepaw was more calm than Mistypaw but he also was more enthusiastic about learning than his sisters.
"Squirrels don't fly mouse brain!" Mistypaw whispered so that Leopardfoot could not hear. The rest of the way back was silent,along with trudges in the ground.
The ravine was filled with patrolling cats as they left camp. Two at least. The 3 entered camp with Leopardfoot in the lead. Mistypaw gritted her teeth when the first thing she saw was her sister's familiar grey and white coat chatting with the deputy on high rock. Stonepaw placed his tail on Mistypaw's tail but that did not stop her. She ran up to the large rock that was used for meetings and jumped at her sister knocking them both down. Mistypaw did not have a good grip so the two split apart and landed on all fours when they fell.
Stonepaw ran to the she-cats, obviously angered. "Mistypaw, not in camp" Mistypaw could see that most cats shrugged it off as two siblings playing. Some elders and senior warrior though took interest and look like they were going to stop it if needed. Mistypaw looked at her brother as she sighed and got back her previous calm. Cats stopped paying attention as her fur lie flat.
"We have been looking for ages!" as in only a hunts length "Why did you-" Mistypaw did not continue as the deputy stepped forward. He was enormous compared to the siblings. He stood beside Mosspaw.
"Don't be too quick to judge; kits, she was helping me out. I told her to gather some catmint with Spottedleaf for the sick cats. This is a weird time for greencough, so be careful" Mistypaw could see that he was reluctantly in this conversation with his eyes averting them constantly. Mosspaw nodded furiously. Mistypaw flicked her tail as she got up and headed toward her mentor. She just wanted to curl up in her mom's nest like a kit and sleep forever.
