Chapter 4

Mistpaw's POV

Over the past few moons,I'd told Jaypaw,Hollypaw,and Lionpaw what I used to be, and faced Ashfur with them and Squirrelflight in the fire.I'd managed to knock him into the fire,killing him.I escaped with only a few burns and some scratches,and now the apprentices were safe from Leafpool and Squirrelflight's secret.

Then,a moon after that,Hollypaw and Lionpaw recieved their warrior names,Hollyleaf and Lionblaze.

After all that,Jaypaw,Lionblaze,Hollyleaf and I were all great friends.

Now,I'm completely healed and back in the apprentices' den.

...TWO MOONS LATER...

I walked out of the apprentices' den when I heard Jaypaw and Leafpool walk out of the medicine cat den.

"Going to the Moonpool?"I said,licking his cheek.

"Yeah."he mewed.

"I bet you're going to get your medicine cat name today."

"I hope so."

I grinned and watched as he and Leafpool left.

"Hey Mistpaw!"

I turned around and saw Hollyleaf and Lionblaze walking up to me.

"Hi!"I said.

"Do you want to go on the nighttime hunting patrol with us?Squirrelflight said it would be okay."Hollyleaf asked.

My eyes brightened.

"Oh yes yes yes!"I cried,bouncing in circles.

"Whoa!Calm down,Mistpaw!"Lionblaze said,laughing

"Can we come too?Huh,can we,can we,can we?"

Icepaw and Foxpaw came hopping out of their den,obviously full of energy.

"Maybe we should."I whispered to Lionblaze."They need to run off that energy."

Lionblaze nodded and said,"Fine,you can come."

The apprentices shrieked with glee and ran out of the camp.I watched them and shook my head.

"Oh wow,I'm not like that,am I?"I asked Hollyleaf.

"Thank StarClan you're not."she replied,walking out of the camp to get Icepaw and Foxpaw.

Lionblaze sighed and followed her out.

I shrugged and followed both of them out.

...

I breathed the fresh air and remembered when I first went in the forest with Jaypaw.

No,no,no.I told myself.Focus on the patrol.

I sighed and pricked my ears,ready for a sound.

Rustling came from from the base of a tree,almost immediately.I dropped into the hunter's crouch and slid forward,not making a sound.I got closer and saw it was a squirrel.

My eyes widened.

Great StarClan!It's HUGE!I thought.

The squirrel was so big,it could feed the elders for a week!Either that,or it was just really fluffy.I do NOT like fluffy squirrels.I unsheathed my claws and got a bit closer then,I pounced on it and killed it wih a quick bite.

"Nice job,Mistpaw!"I heard Icepaw say.

I turned around,the squirrel dangling from my mouth.

Hollyleaf,Foxpaw,and Lionblaze were there.

They all had a lot of fresh-kill.I grinned through the squirrel fur and walked back to the camp.

We dropped the fresh-kill on the pile.I was about to drop my kill,when I heard cats come in the barrier.I dropped the squirrel and turned around.

It was Jaypaw and Leafpool.I watched for a bit as he walked to Hollyleaf and Lionblaze.

"Hi,Hollyleaf!Hi,Lionblaze!"he said.

"Hi.."Hollyleaf and Lionblaze said through their food.

I saw Jaypaw's tail droop and he walked back to his den slowly.

I bounded up to him and said,"Hi Jayfeather!"

His eyes got big,then he chuckled,remembering when I told him I know more than a lot of the other cats do.

"Hi Mistpaw."he meowed.

"I caught a HUGE squirrel!"I said,running to the squirrel and dragging it over to him.

"Wow",he said,running his paw over the squirrel."How'd you catch this?"

"Oh,it was pretty easy."I said proudly."...Do you want to share it?"

"Okay."He said.

Jayfeather and I brought the squirrel to a warm rock.I flopped the squirrel on the rock,then we crouched down next to it.I stretched,feeling the sun's warm rays on my pelt,and started eating.

We ate half of it,then Jayfeather brought the rest to Leafpool.

I walked back to the apprentices den and curled up on my nest.I rested the tip of my tail on my nose. Icepaw's and Foxpaw's breathing slowly got quieter.I sighed softly and fell asleep.

A/N:Hey everyone!JayfeatherFan23 here!

Hey,there's a bit of JayXMist in here!Not enough for my taste,but I had to stop early because my brother was nagging me to get the heck off the computer so...anyway,I'm dropping the number of reveiws that say JayXMist to three instead of ten.

Thanks to Lionfire99 for being the first to comment on this story AND the first to say JayXMist.

Well,my brother is getting antsy,sooo...see ya in Chapter 5!
