CHAPTER 4 – New Enemies…
MarigoldPaw woke to the rays of the morning sun peeking through the lichen-draped entrance of the apprentices' den. She stood up, stretching her back haunches and yawning widely. MarigoldPaw padded outside, letting the warmth hit her shoulders. "Hey, Marigold." HyenaPaw spoke, heading out of the medicine cat den. She spun around, now facing Hyena. "Oh, hi, didn't see you there." "There's the new apprentice with her new mate!" A giggling voice spoke now. Strutting over to HyenaPaw and MarigoldPaw was none other than ApricotPaw, a berry-colored calico tabby.
"He is not my mate!" Marigold growled at her. "Don't deny it, hun, I can see it." ApricotPaw chuckled. "Apricot, you know medicine cats are forbidden to have mates, right?" HyenaPaw stepped in, trying to avoid ApricotPaw's comments. "Oh, I know…but one day it'll happen…" The berry-pelted she padded away. "Oh, no you don't!" MarigoldPaw ran after ApricotPaw, tackling her with unsheathed claws. The older apprentice let out a furious yowl, now unsheathing her claws and raking them down Marigold's belly.
Soon, a huge fight started in the middle of the clan. ApricotPaw was now on top of Marigold, biting her jaws into her chest. The blaze-pelted she screeched, kicking ApricotPaw off. "ENOUGH!" A yowl of the leader's voice just left them staring at each other, eyes wide as they could be. There was TansyStar, making her way towards them. "MarigoldPaw, I do appreciate that you are getting good at fighting, but we do not fight our own clanmates! What would your mother think about this, hm?" The she's eyes were blazing with hot fury. "I'm sorry, TansyStar…but ApricotPaw started it first!" MarigoldPaw complained.
The leader's gaze now swept over ApricotPaw. "Is this true?" The berry-pelted apprentice gritted her teeth for a moment. "U-Um…s-sort of…" She replied shakily. TansyStar only gave a nod of her head. "MarigoldPaw, go see ArcticBlizzard. As for you, ApricotPaw…" She stopped, thinking. "I want you to find ticks in the elders' pelts and catch them prey for your punishment." TansyStar's voice was firm and to-the-point. Both of the apprentices made their way to their destinations, each thinking the same thing: "What have I done?"
