Snakepaw started to giggle at the way Twinpaw was acting, "You don't like snakes much, do you?" Twinpaw look at her furiously, it looked as though his eyes were filled with fire. "It's ok right?" Snakepaw comforted Twinpaw, "Even warriors get scared sometimes you know."
Twinpaw playfully nudged Snakepaw on the side, "You sure got me there, and I was terrified!" All three apprentices started chatting away, Until Panthereyes and Twistedtail came near. Twinpaw and Grasspaw then padded over to the warriors, looking extremely excited.
"We have to go train now," Grasspaw explained, "We'll see you later!" After the four toms left, Snakepaw was all alone. At seeing that she was alone, Violetstar came to her side.
"You can ask Arumtail if you can help her," the purple she-cat suggested, "I'm sure she'll appreciate it." Snakepaw nodded, with a bit of disappointment still in her eyes. Violetstar could notice her disappointment, "I know that tomorrow you'll have fun training." The young apprentice then smiled and padded off to finish her assignment.
Snakepaw came upon the edge of a cliff; her fur started bristling with fear. 'Is this where Arumtail is?' She asked herself as the wind from the cliff blew on her fur. Looking down again, Snakepaw saw the shape of a flower on the side of the cliff.
From the side of the cliff, a white she-cat with and arum shaped tail jumped onto the edge. "Oh, you must be the new apprentice right?" the she-cat's icy blue eyes look down upon Snakepaw. Snakepaw nodded, her body still shaking in fear from the she-cat's appearance. "It's ok; I am Arumtail, the medicine cat." The white cat added, putting a paw on Snakepaw's head.
"I was sent here by Violetstar," Snakepaw explained, losing her fear in small amounts, "she said you might need help." Arumtail nodded, and then she twitched her tail down. Snakepaw look down from the edge, to her surprise there was a ledge.
"My den is down there," Arumtail meowed, about to fall to the ledge, "you may join me if you'd like" The medicine cat then disappeared into the side of the cliff, heading back to her post. Snakepaw took a deep breath, and carefully set her paw over the edge of the cliff.
She then suddenly raised the last three of her legs, falling on the edge in a scrambled way. Snakepaw then gazed upon a cavern at the side of the cliff, gawking at its size in comparison to her. She padded inside carefully; Arumtail welcomed her inside with a twitch of her tail. "I'm glad you faced your fears and came inside," the medicine cat mewed cheerfully, "wait just a second, okay?"
Snakepaw sat down and placed her tail neatly in front of her, whiskers twitching with excitement. Arumtail then turned around, "I would like you to give these herbs to Astherpelt. You can always find her in the nursery." Snakepaw nodded and jumped onto the edge of the cliff, to swiftly complete her task.
Snakepaw padded through the clearing, not knowing which way to go. 'I should have asked where it was first.' She thought completely troubled. A cream she-cat with extremely light green eyes then appeared behind her.
"Are you looking for the nursery?" the she-cat asked her tone very gentle. Snakepaw nodded, her ears flattened with trouble. "Well, I can show you the way," the cream she-cat meowed, "I was just headed there myself." Snakepaw's eyes lit up with hope, her ears twitching with happiness.
"My name is Peridoteyes," The she-cat added as they padded through the clearing, "I'm one of the queens at the nursery" Snakepaw looked up at Peridoteyes, curious to know more about her. Before she could ask, they had made it to their destination.
"Thank you for your help," Snakepaw meowed with gratitude. Peridoteyes smiled and walked into a very large bush. Snakepaw padded in after her, looking at the playful kits as she walked by. She walked up to a pink queen with black spots, "Excuse me, are you Astherpelt?"
"Yes I am," the queen meowed, "what is it?" Snakepaw dropped the herbs in front of the queen, she then backed away respectfully. "My herbs, thank you very much!" Astherpelt meowed with gratitude.
Snakepaw felt proud, she had just done a good job. She then left the nursery and padded back to Arumtail's den. "I'm back, and I delivered the herbs." Snakepaw announced as she came into the cavern. The medicine cat thanked her, her tail swishing with delight.
The sun had already set by the time Snakepaw had left the medicine cat's den. She then approached her fellow apprentices, "I'm glad you're back guys."
"We saved some fresh kill for you," Twinpaw pointed towards two mice as she came by, "Make sure you savor it." Snakepaw nodded, her mouthwatering as she thought of the taste. She sat down beside her two friends and ripped open a mouse.
When they finished eating, the three apprentices began to share tongues. "You know Snakepaw, we missed you during training," Grasspaw meowed in between licks, "Twinpaw wouldn't stop talking about you all day." Twinpaw looked at his brother in disbelief, not wanting to admit he missed Snakepaw.
"It's okay, he looks like one to not admit something," Snakepaw muttered, her ears flattened. Twinpaw then pushed Snakepaw lightly with his mussel, his eyes softened to show his friend he was playing. Snakepaw giggled, she pushed her friend off his feet. Grasspaw was chuckling, he was happy to see that his brother was being playful. Twinpaw and Snakepaw started play fighting, trying to see who was more powerful. The two apprentices were evenly matched in strength and speed, yet Twinpaw outwitted Snakepaw by playing dead.
"No fair!" Snakepaw said in a childish tone, "I thought you were really dead!" The three apprentices then laughed in the humor of the fight. Grasspaw then yawned, followed by Twinpaw and then Snakepaw.
"I think we should rest up for tomorrow," Grasspaw suggested, "Snakepaw is going to train with us tomorrow!" Snakepaw had completely forgotten about her training, excitement rushed through her entire body. The three apprentices then went inside their den, and fell asleep on their soft moss beds.
Snakepaw started to dream about what her training would be like, what would she learn? Excitement surged through her blood, her mentor would soon show her the ways of the clan.
