CHAPTER 10
(Mistypaw's POV)
Mistypaw watched as Dawnfire applied cobwebs to Clayfoot's side, "Mouse-dung!" the medicine cat cursed, "Mistypaw will you go into my den and fetch more cobwebs?" Mistypaw nodded, getting up she padded into the medicine cat den. Hurrying to the back of the den she looked at the neat piles of herbs. Glancing down at her own side she looked at the stringy cobwebs to refresh her memory on what they looked like. Scanning the herbs she found the cobwebs and was about to grab some when a bright red berry caught her eye. Was that the same kind of berry that turned her and Bramblepaw into cats?! Suddenly everything came flooding back to her, her mom and dad! Her house, being a human! How could she have forgotten! "What's taking so long?" Dawnfire meowed irritated as she walked into the den.
"Well, umm, what are these?" she flicked her tail towards the berries.
"Those are Deathberries," Dawnfire replied scooping up a pawful of cobwebs.
"What do they do?"
"They kill you," the medicine cat replied simply.
"They why do you have them!?" Mistypaw questioned nervously.
"Because," Dawnfire meowed, "They can be used to help in very extreme cases."
Mistypaw nodded, "Do they do anything else? Like uh maybe transform you into something?"
The medicine cat shook her head, then padded out of the den. Mistypaw watched her go, then how did those berries make Bramblepaw and me cats?
Mistypaw put her muzzle against Moorpaw, breathing in his scent she sighed. He purred, "Look at Gorseshadow's kits!" he nodded towards the four kits as they played with a small ball of moss, "It feels like they were born yesterday!"
She lifted her head to look at the kits, Sweetkit had hold of moss ball and was trying to keep it away from her three bigger and stronger brothers. Surprisingly she was doing a better job at it then expected. Mistypaw giggled in amusement, "Yes, and Poolkit, Talonkit, and Darkkit will be apprentices soon!"
Moorpaw purred, "Will we have kits?" he murmured as if he knew the answer. The question threw Mistypaw off. She thought back to earlier, getting cobwebs for Dawnfire and discovering the Deathberries. She had hoped spending time with Moorpaw would help her to forget, forget she had ever been a human. She thought of her mom and dad. "Well?" he pressed.
"Moorpaw," she started, "I like you, a lot! But, there are things I have never told you, things that no cat would believe and I don't want to put you through that!" her faded blue eyes became pools of grief, "I'm sorry but we can't be together anymore." she got up and ran out of camp and onto the moor. She ran to the lake, and sat down staring at her reflection.
"Mistypaw?" a voice asked, she turned to see Bramblepaw running towards her, "Mistypaw! There was this cat at the MoonPool! She told me I was going to save the clan! There's a prophecy, listen! When-"
Mistypaw cut her excited friend off, "Bramblepaw, I know the prophecy, it's been haunting my dreams ever since my first day as an apprentice."
Bramblepaw looked taken aback, "Oh," was all she managed to say.
"Sit," Mistypaw said motioning to her friend, "When you look at your reflection what do you see?"
"A cat?" Bramblepaw replied confused, "Mistypaw what's this about?"
"Don't remember? Bramblepaw we used to be humans not cats! Your name was Lily and mine was Alice!" Her friend nodded as if it was all coming back, "Bramb- Lily don't you miss your mom? Your dad!? Your brother!" Don't you wonder if they're looking for you? Don't you want to go back?"
"Alice, I like it here! Yes I miss them, but it's better here, for me! With Rainpaw..." her voice trailed off.
"You love him don't you?" she asked expressionless.
"Yes," Bramblepaw muttered, "And no matter how much I miss my family I can't leave him." She got up and began to pad away, leaving Mistypaw gazing into the glimmering water, she knew what she had to do.
Mistypaw padded into the camp, she had spent the whole night by the lake. Quietly she slipped into the apprentice den and curled up in a extra nest that was as far away from Moorpaw as she could get.
She managed a few minutes of sleep before waking up to the usual buzz of the clan. She stood up and stretched, a small yawn escaped her mouth and she padded out of the den. All around her cats went about going on patrols and eating prey, she knew them all yet they looked foreign and strange. Moorpaw and his two sisters were sharing a mouse, their eyes met and he turned away. She sighed and eyed the mouse, hardly believing she had eaten one of those and liked it! Shaking away the thought she went to find Cloudstar. The dawn patrol had just returned and was giving Crowmist their report. Cloudstar padded out of his den and Mistypaw ran up to him, "Cloudstar can I-"
He swished his tail over her mouth to silence her, then turned to Crowmist, "Stop all patrols I have a very important duty to perform," he meowed, then turning to Mistypaw he said, "Thank you for reminding me."
"Your-" but she was cut off again as Cloudstar leaped onto the Tallrock.
"Let all cats old enough to sleep under the stars join here for a clan meeting!" he yowled. Cats began to gather at the base of the rock talking amongst themselves. Cloudstar spoke again, "About ten moons ago we found two kits at a gathering, they became apprentices and now I am proud to make them into full WindClan warriors! Mistypaw and Bramblepaw please step forward!" Mistypaw walked stiffly to the Tallrock surprised, Bramblepaw bounded over to join her. "Do you promise to uphold the warrior code and protect your clanmates even at the cost of your life?"
"I do!" Bramblepaw exclaimed.
"I do," Mistypaw murmured.
"You have both proven yourselves to be loyal cats-"
"I wouldn't say loyal," Crowmist sneered. Bramblepaw growled under her breath.
Cloudstar cast his deputy a stern look and continued, "From this moment on you will be known as Mistyeyes and Bramblesky!"
"Mistyeyes, Bramblesky!" everyone except Crowmist and Moorpaw cheered.
"Cloudstar," Mistyeyes mewed, all eyes were on her, "I would like to say something."
"Go ahead," Cloudstar meowed.
"I wish to leave WindClan!"
OHH Cliffy... *grins evilly*
