Raspberrypaw P.O.V
Raspberrypaw stalked quietly threw the forest. She lifted her tufted ears to stop, and lision to her surrondings.
Blinking, she narrowed her eyes looking down her narrow muzzle to see a paw-print in the mud. "Mouse-brains." She hissed softly. She was praticing stalking, and Nightpaw, Snowypaw and Gilledpaw were suppose to practice not being found.
Breathing in. She closed her eyes, following the scent-trail. Snowypaw. A white tail flicked into a bush, just where the mumbled-brained she-cat would've hid. Leaping, she caught onto fur, tackling the cat down, she rolled her paw on the white cat's throat. "Mouse-brain, leaving.." Raspberrypaw blinked. This wasn't Snowypaw, a white tom was at her paws. His eyes were a soft blue blinking up at her.
"Why, hello." The tom-cat purred softly, sitting up. "Is this not free-land?" He asked, a slight frown coming across his face.
Raspberrypaw growled. "No, ots not. Your on Clan terrtiory, now leave or suffer the-" Pausing she took a deep breath, her muzzle scrunching up. "You smell like crow-food, badly." She didn't bother to try and play it nice. This cat was on her terrtiory, and well...
The cat stood up. His eyes narrowing. "Well, one must do to live.. Its hard not eating prey like you cats always do, i live off something else.."
Raspberrypaw flicked a ear. "Your a kittypet? They eat "something else" but, your blood-stained. You part of a gang?"
The tom frowned. "A gang? No i work alone, but.." The white cat stepped foreward. Grinning as he lowered his head. "You could see my home, wouldn't that be nice?"
Raspberrypaw opened her jaws to replie, when she heard a twig snap. The tom looked up, gritting his teeth.
"Fox-dung, well. It was nice speaking to you, Raspberry. Bye-bye!" The tom leaped off into the bushes. His white tail lashing as Gilledpaw walked into the clearing.
"Who were you talking to?" Gilledpaw meowed, tilting his head.
Raspberrypaw growled. "No-one, just some loner whom wondered into our territiory, hes gone now." She replied, looking into the bushes. She wanted to know more about the cat, it intressed her to know of..well other lives then in the Clans.
Gilledpaw opened his jaws slightly. Looking confushed as he stared at her. "There no scent other then ours, your loosing your mind Raspberry."
Raspberrypaw hissed, "My name is Raspberrypaw!" She sat down, licking a paw and drawing it over her ear. Then it suddenly hit her, the cat. He had called her "Raspberry". How come she didn't notice that? She looked into the shadows, a sudden uneasy feeling washing over her. Had the cat been..spying on her? Or had he been spying on the whole Clan?
And why, Raspberry. She knew her name was long, for. Her mother had been known as "Bluebellsong". And before her, her grandmother's name had been "Lilypadsong". And, so far as Raspberrypaw knew, her warrior name was to follow the same ending in "song" also.
"Coming, or going to sit and think all day?" Gilledpaw asked, shaking water off his pelt. "Its wet, and i want to go and eat before i have to do night-watch."
Yeah, yeah. Rolling her eyes. She followed the older apprentice till they got into camp. Snowypaw and Nightpaw shared a rabbit by the camp's entrance. "Got here quickly?" She mewed, grabbing a mouse and sitting next to Nightpaw.
"Well, it was wet..." Nightpaw looked into the forest's shadows. Her ears flicking and the fear-scent that the she-cat always seemed to have when she watched the shadows move came back.
What she so afriad of? Licking a paw, she rubbed her ear. "It was wet, but still..not that bad." Raspberrypaw thought back to the loner. Why hadn't Gilledpaw been able to scent the cat who stood there, talking to Raspberrypaw? It was..odd.
Gilledpaw came to eat beside them. Talking about his lastest fighting moves as Snowypaw talked about how she has been helping Blackrose stalk up herbs. "Hey, Raspberrypaw. Tell them about that loner." He meowed, looking at the crimson colored she-cat. "The one i couldn't scent out."
Raspberrypaw felt Nightpaw tense up beside her. "What is it?" She mumbled into Nightpaw's ear.
"Did this..loner come out of no-where?" Nightpaw asked, her eyes wide. "An-and have a white, bloody pelt?" The black apprentice seemed terrifled, as she whispered back to Raspberrypaw.
Suddenly, tense. She nodded slowly. "Come, lets speak..somewhere else."
Sene Cut
Raspberrypaw sat beside Nightpaw. She gave the black she-cats ear a quick lick. "So, hes a kit-eater?" She looked up at the sky. She had heard Nightpaw's story, was it true? Had she spoken to a..kit eater?
She felt her belly clunch in disgust. He hadn't ment kittypet food, he ment other cats. "That crow-food smell..i just thought.."
Nightpaw blinked. "Well, i don't think that..thing is a cat." She whispered, her gaze searching. "I, i belive that we have to tell Snowypaw. Now that i know i'm not crazy, loosing my mind!"
"No!" Raspberrypaw got to her paws. Getting infront of Nightpaw, she took a deep breath. "No, it'll just get Snowypaw worked up." She replied sternly, "So we don't tell her!"
Nightpaw shuddered, her pelt bristling. "But..shes my sister, what if it goes for her?" Eyes closed, Nightpaw got to her paws. "I'm going to sleep, but we will have to tell her, not today..but sometime."
Raspberrypaw nodded. "Of corse.." The crimson she-cat paddled at Nightpaw's side. Her gaze flashing as she looked into the shadows. Now she understood, why Nightpaw seemed to always be afriad. That..thing could be lurking anywhere! Shivering, she climbed into her nest. Only to have Nightpaw tap her on the shoulder. "What?"
"C-can i sleep beside you?" Nightpaw looked at her paws. "Please?" She whispered meekly.
Shaking her head to herself. She suddedly felt why Nightpaw asked, they were the only two to know about this thing. So, staying close would be good. Sighing, she finally meowed. "Fine" Watching as Nightpaw scooted her nest close to Raspberrypaw's.
Laying her head onto her paws. She sighed, blinking at the half-moon. Comfurt filled her as she felt Nightpaw settled beside her, the faint breaths coming shallow as the apprentice fell asleep. Yawning, Raspberrypaw closed her eyes, falling alseep beside the apprentice with fur as black as night..
