CHAPTER 1: Meet Spottedpaw
Spottedpaw padded into the SkyClan camp with a thrush in her mouth. Her mentor, Snowpelt greeted her. ''Good morning, Spottedpaw. Is that for the elders?'' Spottedpaw nodded. ''Good,'' Snowpelt replied. Orangestripe, her sister Gingerpaw's mentor, came up to her and Snowpelt. ''Where's Gingerpaw? I don't know where she is. She's always going off somewhere, without telling me. It makes me look like a bad mentor, '' Orangestripe grumbled. Spottedpaw stifled a laugh, which since she was carrying the thrush wasn't hard, Gingerpaw was sleeping in the apprentices' den, she was such a sleepy-head. Spottedpaw doubted the best and meekest apprentice would make Orangestripe seem a better mentor. Snowpelt stifled a laugh as well.
''She's probably in the apprentices' den, Orangestripe. Spottedpaw would you wake your sister, please, ''Snowpelt asked.
''Yes, Snowpelt,'' Spottedpaw meowed. Spottedpaw prodded her sister, ''Wake up, you lazy fur-ball.'' Spottedpaw told her sister. ''Wahat? I was having a nice dream about a squirrel…Oh, it's you,'' Gingerpaw scolded. ''Get up, Orangestripe is waiting for you, '' Spottedpaw meowed. ''That mouse-brain…,''retorted Gingerpaw. ''You should respect him, he's been a warrior for a long time and he knows more than you do even if he is rather cross a lot, '' Spottedpaw reprimanded her sister.
''Oh, come on, Spottedpaw, you're no fun," scoffed Gingerpaw "Besides, Orangestripe is always cross all the time!" Spottedpaw tried not to smile, Gingerpaw was right, Orangestripe was always cross but Gingerpaw did need to show her mentor some respect. In fact, sometimes she wondered if her sister even knew what the word meant! "Come on," Gingerpaw urged her. Spottedpaw almost burst out laughing, she had come in here to wake her up and now look who was urging who! "Alright, Gingerpaw," Spottedpaw said.
"What are we doing today, Snowpelt?" Spottedpaw asked. Snowpelt smiled at her. "Patrol," Snowpelt said wondering for the hundredth time how she could possibly be so different from her sister. Meanwhile…
"We're going hunting today," Orangestripe announced. "Aw, I wanted to go on patrol with Spottedpaw and Snowpelt. He's so nice," Gingerpaw said continuing the sentence in her mind: …unlike you. "Well, I'm the mentor here and I say we're going hunting," Orangestripe said gruffly. "Hey, Orangestripe," Rainstorm, the SkyClan deputy, called "Why don't you take Gingerpaw on the patrol? It's been a while since you assessed her skills… Orangestripe, that's an order." Spottedpaw smirked at Orangestripe and ran to join her sister. "Hey, Spottedpaw, Snowpelt, I'm going on patrol with you!" Gingerpaw meowed. "Is that true, Orangestripe?" Snowpelt asked. "Yes," Orangestripe said angrily. "Great, Gingerpaw, now we can be together," Spottedpaw exclaimed. In a low voice she asked her sister "What's wrong with Orangestripe?" "I don't know, there's always something wrong with him," Gingerpaw replied in an equally low voice. "Come on, you two! We can't wait all day," Snowpelt said. "Coming," Gingerpaw said sweetly. Spottedpaw looked quizzically at her sister. She didn't sense any sarcasm. What was up with her sister? Anyway, she'd find out soon enough. She ran after her sister, to join the patrol.
Reviews!
Freeheart: SkyClan is also descended from StarClan. So they share many of the same beliefs,
however maybe not the same words. Hope you get what I mean. (Not sure whether a mortal cat
can be green either. For the purpose of the story, all formally said green cats are now gray/green)
