Snowypaw P.O.V
Snowypaw dropped her catch into the fresh-kill. She gazed silently at the medicice cat's den, where her sister was sickly.
Nearly two and a half moons its been sence she last saw that..thing. Shivering, she still remebered the pain and blood. Yet, the blood disappered so did the wounds..from her dream and eyes. As she walked into the den, she stopped her paw hovering just above the ground as she heard Nightpaw's voice.
"What can we do?" Nightpaw asked, her voice becoming a strill mew. "It is going to come back, we both know that Rasp!"
Raspberry gave a soft meow, her voice quiet before Snowypaw heard her say. "We got each other, it might've gotten Nettlekit.." Raspberrypaw's voice dropped as she swallowed. "And Fawnleg's dead body, but were together. Safter in a..a group."
Snowypaw felt her heart skip a beat as her sister scofted. "And? What it it gets Snowypaw? I wouldn't be able to forgive my self for not telling her!" Nightpaw gave a soft whimper. "Its not fair, not fair to her, me or you!"
The snow-colored she-cat inhailed deeply. They had seen the..the thing too? And..Nettlekit. Tears wailed in her eyes, as she stepped into the den. "Y-you also seen it?" She muttered. Her gaze narrowing as nither cat replied.
Then she stepped back as Raspberrypaw growled. "You were evsdropping on us!" The crimson cat gave a faint snort. "Just what i would expect from-"
Nightpaw gave the apprentice a long glare, before looking at her sister. "Yes, i seen it..the night of Nettlekit's disapperce." She sighed softly, her eyes lowering. "And, Raspberrypaw seen it a bit after, but..it showed itself as a loner."
Snowypaw blinked. She remebered, the day that Gilledpaw had said he didn't smell a cat when Raspberrypaw claimed she saw a loner. "I remeber, when you to went to talk.." Snowypaw gave a faint hiss. "And you didn't tell me?" Anger flaired in her eyes. "I could've been hurt! And i'm your sister!"
Nightpaw blinked guiltily. "I'm sorry, but-" Snowypaw raced out the den. Her paws carring her outside the camp, into the forest.
Why did she tell me? Snowypaw felt tears run off her face as she ran. Is it because she trustes Raspberrypaw more? Once again, she leaped up her paws thumping onto the harder earth at the border with MarbleClan. She stopped, praticly skidding on her paws as she nearly troppled over. "Mouse-dung!" She lifted a paw, her pads were scrapped by the hard earth that was around the moutian.
"You shouldn't go out alone, its dangerous." A gruff tom's voice meowed.
Snowypaw froze. Turning, she faced the large white tom with glowing yellow eyes. "J-just leave me alone." She whispered, her gaze falling to her paws. Why did she run? She was mad, angery. Unhappy, yet. This..this thing decicdes to show up at a bad time! She gritted her teeth, anger flaring threw her before she knew it, she was glaring at the tom tweth bared. "You always have great timing, don't ya?!" She hissed, sarcasom dripping from every word. "Right? Coming to scar me? Why? Hmm!" She hissed, anger blazing threw her icey blue eyes.
Instently, the white tom dropped into a crouch. His yellow eyes glowing as he stared her into the eyes. "No one's ever talk to me like that, anger at.." He tipped his head. His gaze suddenly dropping to a more "friendly" look. "Hmm, at Nightpaw?"
Snowypaw sat down. Confusion blurred into her eyes. "Y-yes?"
The cat stood up. His tail twiching above his head. With one paw up, his face formed into a friendly smile. Eyes twisting from the sinister yellow-red rimmed to an cool watery blue. "Come, Snowypa-" The crow-food smelling cat was cut off by Nightpaw and Raspberrypaw's pawsteps. He instently smiled, his eyes flashing. "Well, see you laterThe white cat said in an almost singing-like voice as it ran off into the bushes.
"Snowypaw!" Nightpaw leaped onto her sister. Covering her face in worry-licks. "What happened, are you ok?" She meowed, stumbling to her paws Snowypaw smiled.
"Just fine, I-" Snowypaw cut herself off. She was relizing the look from Raspberrypaw that she wasn't still in the clear. She had evsdropped, and didn't come out untill..well they were done talking... But she deserved an answer to why they hid the fact that an strange..thing stalked the forest! "What?" She asked, anger dropping into her voice once more.
The crimson drizzled she-cat gave her a small glance. Before walking to Nightpaw's side. "Nothing, so you know about this..cat?"
Nightpaw snorted. "Its no cat, i've never seen a cat shape-shift!"
Snowypaw was painfullt aware of Nightpaw's weakness. She nudged her sister's shoulder, her gaze light. "Come on, you need to rest." She meowed softly, looking at Raspberrypaw. "Right, instead of bring her out here, with a illness?" She meowed pointingly, what in StarClan's name did Raspberrypaw think of letting Nightlaw run out here sick?
The she-cat merely nodded. Her gaze flickering ahead of them. "Shes right, lets go."
Felling a prickle of irritaion. She walked beside her sister, letting Nightpaw use her to help walk. She paused, looking around. One thing she still questioned, why did it suddenly stopped trying to attack her? Suddenly..be..nice? She had gotten ticked off, yelling without a dout that the thing would've snatched her up for an early dinner. But..it hadn't. And, Snowypaw wanted to know why.
