Walking quietly across the clearing she made her way towards the hole in the wall. Brownpaw jumped through the hole and jumped down the wooden cliff to the bottom.
She was about to go towards the pond when she smelled something, a kittypet. Brownpaw turned around to see a young tom a little older then herself standing next to a tree.
He was black with a white muzzle, white tipped tail and white paws. His green eyes glowed almost ghost like. His front paw was bleeding and there was a gash on his shoulder.
"Help...me...please." the tom gasped, before he fell to the ground unconcious.
Brownpaw ran to the tom and dragged him to the cliff just a few fox tails away. She pushed him up and reached the top just around the time that Greenstar would get up.
As soon as Brownpaw pushed the tom through the hole he was dragged a little farther away by a pale ginger and white tom. His deep green eyes examined the tom then looked up at Brownpaw.
"Who is he?" Greenstar asked.
"I don't know." Brownpaw replied. "I found him at the foot of the cliff."
"Lets get him to Redclaw." Greenstar mewed, picking up the cat.
Greenstar ran across the clearing towards the medicene cat den. Brownpaw followed him, into the small cavern.
Before the cats had come to the twoleg tree nest, the medicene cat den was something the twolegs called a table. Brownpaw had never known what it was used for but she suspected it was nothing good.
Greenstar placed the young tom on the stone in the center of the den then he called to Redclaw. A moment later a small, red and brown tom walked out from the cavern beyond the rock.
"What is it Greenstar?" Redclaw began, before he saw the black and white tom. "Oh my! Brownpaw get Goldpaw up!"
Brownpaw ran out of the den and skidded to a halt just outside the apprentice den. She walked in and gentle pushed the yellow and brown tom next to the entrance.
"Goldpaw," she hissed at the tom. "Redclaw needs you."
Goldpaw opened one of his amber eyes and looked at Brownpaw. "Why?" he asked.
"I found an injured tom at the bottom of the Wooden Cliff." Brownpaw said. This made Goldpaw stand up and walk out of the den.
Brownpaw followed the tall cat to the medicene cat den and was about to follow him inside when Greenstar came out.
"Go back to your nest, Brownpaw." he mewed as he walked past her towards his den.
"But Greenstar-" Brownpaw began.
"You are not a medicene cat nor are you a friend that cat." Greenstar said. "This is not a request that you go back to sleep it is an order."
"I-" Brownpaw began to protest. "Yes, Greenstar."
Greenstar smiled, then he disappered into the moss covered cavern. Brownpaw turned back to the apprentice den and walked inside.
She lied down on her nest and was almost asleep when Rustpaw, Willowpaw and Mosspaw looked up and began to talk.
"Did you hear that?" Rustpaw asked the two she-cats.
"That Brownpaw found a cat at the bottom of the Wooden Cliff?" Mosspaw replied.
"Yeah" Willowpaw hissed. "More like Greenstar found him."
"Most likley." Rustpaw mewed. "After all, he was Marshfoot's older brother. He'd do anything for his kin."
"My father said," Willowpaw laughed, "That only the toms in Firestar's bloodline would be granted with his wisedom!"
"Brownpaw is as weak as the no good Ravenpaw!" Mosspaw hissed, "He ran from his mentor after he learned about something he shouldn't have. Then he got killed on the way to where he was going!"
Brownpaw felt hurt by what her friends were saying. She was weak? She didn't have what it took to be like her greatgrand father? She knew they were all lies but she couldn't help the tears that began to run down her face.
