Lionpaw was very close to retching. These herbs did not taste well. Very bitter, actually. He swallowed them and looked up at Greeneyes and Tigerpaw, who had looks on their faces similar to what he had felt.
"Let's go." He meowed to the other two cats, who nodded in agreement.
They exited the medicine den and then the camp. They trekked through their territory and down to the lake.
"Where do we go from here?" Tigerpaw asked.
"I don't know." Lionpaw admitted.
Tigerpaw let out a hiss of anger. "Didn't the dream tell you?"
"No." The other apprentice replied, not flinching.
"Mouse-dung!" The dark apprentice scowled.
Lionpaw felt a strange feeling, urging im to go to the right, straight through Thunderclan territory.
"I think we go through Thunderclan territory." He meowed.
"Oh, now you know." Tigerpaw rolled his eyes angrily.
"Better quiet yourself now, Tigerpaw, we're going into rival territory." Greeneyes warned.
Chapter 16
"Phew!" Greeneyes sighed in relief as they exited Thunderclan territory.
"Greeneyes, we didn't even see one cat." Tigerpaw muttered.
"There could have been one nearby." Lionpaw pointed out.
"Stop pointing out the obvious." The dark apprentice retorted. "We're not blin-"
"Enough." Greeneyes growled. "At this rate of your bickering, I'll be the only one alive when we get there!"
Tigerpaw let out a hiss of annoyance and Lionpaw flicked his tail, causing the water in a nearby puddle to start rippling.
"Lionpaw, do we still keep going in this direction?" His mentor asked.
He could faintly feel the urge, tugging at him, telling him that Greeneyes was correct. "Yeah."
"Very well." The light gray tom meowed, turning in the correct direction and beginning to pad that way.
Tigerpaw and Lionpaw followed him.
"You're still a runt." Tigerpaw whispered in Lionpaw's ear.
He cast a glare at the dark tom before hurrying to catch up with Greeneyes.
This is only the beginning of the journey...
