I probably won't be updating daily like this. I just want it to get going a bit.

Chapter 4: Friendship

Stripedtail waited for Yellowpelt to come out of the leader's den, basking in the bright sun, something unusual for the middle of leaf-bare. She was informing Thinstar about what she had talked about with Rattail. Stripedtail never thought in a hundred moons that she would see Yellowpelt work so hard for a rogue she hadn't met before.

Finally Yellowpelt stepped out. Stripedtail stepped in front of her. "Well? What did she say?"

"She said she wants to talk to Rattail, and I should go tell him that she'll be coming his way later with some other cats." Yellowpelt flicked her tail to the other side of camp. "I was going to go see him now. Would you like to come with me?"

"Yes, of course," Stripedtail didn't mind seeing the rogue, and could see Yellowpelt was becoming sort of friends with him. But when they were at the camp exit, they were pulled aside by Darkbranch.

"Have either of you seen Midnightpaw? I haven't seen her yet this morning, and she doesn't usually go out too early…"

"She'll probably come back later, Darkbranch. Every cat wants some alone time every now and then." Yellowpelt seemed anxious to leave.

"I agree, don't worry Darkbranch." Stripedtail followed Yellowpelt out of the camp.

After they had been walking quickly for a few fox-lengths, Stripedtail turned to face Yellowpelt. "If you don't mind my asking, Yellowpelt…"

"Yes?"

"Why are you so intent on helping Rattail? You don't usually…go to lengths like this."

Yellowpelt looked straight ahead. "I feel bad for him is all. And I know his sister, we were friends as apprentices. But now I know why I haven't seen her lately. Poor Earthbrook…"

"Yes, I remember Earthbrook as well…how severe is her graycough?"

"Moderately so, but if she gets help soon she should be able to recover without repercussions." She stopped when they had reached the hollow where Rattail, the other rogues and his sister had stayed. Rattail immediately came from behind the dry bush that protected the hollow.

"Yellowpelt! What are you doing here now? You usually come later."

Yellowpelt meowed a greeting. "I just wanted to let you know, my leader and medicine cat and probably some other cats will be coming soon to check out your situation and talk to you about FlowerClan."

Rattail looked behind Stripedtail and Yellowpelt. "Is that them now?"

Sure enough, behind them were Thinstar, Crazyeyes, Frecklepaw, Hawkfur, Shorttail, and Snowpelt.

Thinstar nodded to Yellowpelt. "Thank you, Yellowpelt. You and Stripedtail can go back to camp now." The two headed back that way.


Well, that's it for today. I can smell something cooking in every direction in this story, but that's just because my pre-written chapters are farther along. I don't want to write everything first, though, because I'm open to suggestions in my reviews.

Review. DO IT.

Byebye.
