Chapter.11.
"Scramblekit, Specklekit, Tinykit!" Shinypaw exclaimed. "Get off!"
"Come on Kits!" Moonstep grabbed her three kits by the scruff. "Stop bothering Shinypaw."
"But we want Shinypaw to teach us some battle moves." Tinykit squeaked.
"Maybe later kits." Shinypaw suggested. "I'm gonna go visit Gingerpaw." Shinypaw went to visit the medicine den. "Berrypaw." She called her sister. "Berrypaw." Shinypaw padded into the den and saw Berrypaw playing moss ball with Gingerpaw.
"Take it easy." Berrypaw warned. She saw her sister. "Shinypaw! What are you doing here?"
"I came to see Gingerpaw."
"Well, he doesn't need to be seen!" Berrypaw snapped. She turned away from Shinypaw, and started playing with Gingerpaw again, letting out little squeaks when he caught the moss ball, even though he rearely did. Fine. Shinypaw thought. Her sister started to act weirder, and weirder everyday.
The next day Shinypaw woke up and found something different. The whole world was white, and cold, and wet. She ran to the medicine den. "Berrypaw! Berrypaw! Something happened to our camp! Maybe Thunderclan did this!
Cherryeye was the first to wake up. "What is it Shinypaw?" Shinypaw scooped some of the white stuff up. "That's snow." Cherryeye said plainly. "We get it in leaf-bare, now go back to bed."
"But Berrypaw..." She trailed off as Cherryeye gave her a stern look. Shinypaw nodded and went back to bed. But she couldn't sleep. She had to show Flurrystar. "Flurrystar! Flurrystar! White sparkles are attacking the camp." She ran into Flurrystar's den, almost waking the whole camp.
"Shinypaw, what is it?" Flurrystar grunted.
"You heard me. Their white sparkles, and their attacking the camp!"
"Shinypaw!" Flurrystar sounded mad. "It's just snow! You don't need to go waking the whole camp up for that." Shinypaw left his den. "Actually Shinypaw, you can go on the dawn patrol. Take Tigertail, Squirrelshine, Volepaw, Dovepaw, and Sleekfoot will lead. Go along the Windclan border, then you can hunt on the way." Shinypaw nodded, and went to wake the apprentices.
When Shinypaw got back, Berrypaw was awake. She hurried toward Berrypaw, only to find her bringing some snow to Gingerpaw. "Berrypaw, have you seen this?" She asked.
"Well duh." Berrypaw replied, then went to see gingerpaw.
"Ignore her." Fawnwing came up to Shinypaw. "I don't know why, but she's been in a fallow mood, ever since Moonstep's kitting. I think that she blames herself for not saving her last kit, and wants to save Gingerpaw."
"I guess." Shinypaw wasn't sure. She remembered meeting Berrypaw at the day, of Moonstep's kitting. She was upset about something, but she wasn't sure what. Wanting to change he subject she asked, "mom, do you still love Shadowblaze."
"No sweetie. I don't. Mistakes sometimes happen when you're young. I didn't know any better. I should have stopped but I didn't, and now I have to suffer the consequences." Consequences? So is that what she and Berrypaw were. Consequences for Fawnwing's mistakes.
"I'm gonna go train with Flurrystar." Shinypaw decided.
