JOURNEY OF THE HALFCATS
The wind swept through the trees and Honeypaw ran through the barrier with her mouse and dropped it in the fresh-kill pile. She burst into the apprentice den, panting. " That is some wind out there! " She said to herself. She curled up in her den for sleep. She closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
She ran through the forest and she came out into a meadow. It was a warm, green-leaf day and she was happy as she could possibly be. Galepaw ran out into the meadow with her and tackled the joyful she-cat. They rolled around in the fresh grass and licked each other. The flowers crumpled beneath their backs. They ran out the other entrance and off to the forest.
Honeypaw shot up from her sleep. " Uhhh... " She said groggily.
" Come on! " Galepaw shouted from the entrance.
" Oh. Yeah. Ummm... right... " She padded out of the den and into the sunlight. It burned her eyes and she blinked and squinted her eyes and bumped right into a tree.
Galepaw snickered as he watched Honeypaw stumble into the tree.
Honeypaw blushed as she heard him laughing at her. " Uh! Let's go! " Honeypaw and Galepaw walked out of the camp and into the forests. The shade from the oak trees above her head felt cool on her back. " Ummm... I'm a little thirsty. Can we go down to the river for a drink? "
" Sure. " He said lightly. They slid down the slope to the stream and Honeypaw dunked her snout into the cool, refreshing water and lapped up the water gratefully. Galepaw walked up behind her and accidentally pushed her into the river. " Oh! " He pulled her out and Honeypaw scuffed his ear playfully. He bit her ear lightly and she pulled him down to the ground. Galepaw easily got back up and put a paw on her chest. " Gotcha'. " He murmured into her ear.
She licked his ear and dragged him back down in the dust. They laughed and licked each other. They were caked in mud but they giggled and continue to play like kits.
" I love you! " Galepaw burst out.
Honeypaw stopped wriggling I the mud. She was speechless. " I-I love you too! " She licked his ear soothingly and he began to purr.
They got up and walked back to the camp. They purred and Honeypaw lay her head on his muscular shoulder. This is nice... they both thought.
