Chapter 6
"Hi, I'm Dogpaw, Wolfpaw's brother." The tom introduced himself as soon as the two she-kits got close to him. "I was wondering if you can um tell me about kittypet life." He stumbled as he asked nervously.
"Sure." Daffodil's heart skipped a beat. She barely knew about kittypet life, just enough to say what it felt, smelled, tasted, sounded, and looked like since she had spent only 4 moons as a kittypet, and for most of the time she was with her mother.
"Um, I would rather go and sit with Stripekit if that's okay." Blacky said getting up and walking away, the whole twoleg topic was sensitive to her still.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know she would be so sad." Dogpaw immediately apologized.
"It's okay, she will get past it soon." Daffodil replied.
She went on and on about her previous life as a kittypet. While she answered his none stop questions, she missed Wolfpaw becoming a warrior and getting his warrior name, Wolfbark. She had also missed her first clan meeting. But she had been able to let go of all her feelings of her kittypet life, which would hopefully stop the nightmares.
"Thank you Daffodil!" Dogpaw sighed. "Kittypet life…." He stopped as the meeting ended.
She watched as Bearpaw walked straight up to Wolfbark, his tail bristling with anger. Their mouths moved with words that she couldn't make out. Then al sudden he stormed away, following the other apprentices to their den. Wolfbark dejectedly walked over to her and his other brother. She smiled and waved her tail. She was about to say I but Dogpaw interrupted her.
"Wolfpaw-"He began. "Oh yeah, its Wolfbark now isn't it? Well, Daffodil was just telling me about the twolegplace. It doesn't sound too bad. I think I'm going to leave tomorrow to become a kittypet, I feel left out, not strong enough here and I know I won't be left out with twolegs to take care of me. No matter what you say will encourage me to stay. I'm going tomorrow like it or not." Dogpaw turned and left to the apprentices den.
"Wolfbark, I'm so sorry!" Daffodil squealed, regretful. "I didn't think that would give him the idea to leave! I'm so sorry!"
"Don't worry, he has been having dreams of leaving and becoming a kittypet, he says so when he's asleep. My family has been waiting for him to say he's leaving…now he is. But I'll live. What I don't understand is why you didn't cheer for me? This the happiest moment in my life!" Wolfbark replied.
"I was trying but Dogpaw kept asking me questions about twolegs and being a kittypet and I guess I just forgot about the meeting. I really meant to cheer for you, I promise." Daffodil replied truthfully.
"When we went to talk to your parent, they said that they weren't hunting, that they were staying there because your twolegs died!" Wolfbark replied. "You lied to me. Well there's your first lesson of what not to do in a clan, there will be plenty more since they said you can stay."
"I'm sorry Wolfbark, it's just that I really want to join Thunderclan and I knew you would feel bad for me after I lost my twolegs but I don't want to be treated special because of that, I want to be treated like a Thunderclan kit. Blacky went along with it because we trust each other; I know she's sorry too." Daffodil replied truthfully.
"How did your twolegs die?" Wolfbark asked, calming down, she was only just a kit.
Daffodil's eyes clouded with memories, she seemed to be in a different world. "I was running….loud noises everywhere….my twolegs-Jack, Amy, Al, Mary, shouted….then they….they were gone. The evil…..evil twolegs came….after us…..coming for us! The fence…. the barn…."
Wolfbark shushed her with his tail gently across her mouth. "Um, Daffodil I just wanted to know the basics, not all the details. Especially since they obviously haunt you." He replied gently.
Daffodil breathed in deeply. "They were shot and killed by other twolegs. The evil twolegs started coming for us but we ran to the abandoned twoleg nest instead." Daffodil answered.
"I shouldn't tell you this but I'm going to be your mentor." Wolfbark eyes sparkled with delight as he whispered the secret so that only his to-be apprentice could hear. "We need to tell each other everything. No more secrets." He said, although he had a couple secrets he hadn't told her about.
"No more secrets." She promised although she too had secrets she hadn't told him.
