Snowypaw P.O.V

Snowypaw stood at the end of the protrol. Her paws dragging as they re-marked the scent border. She sighed, looking up as she narrowed her eyes.

She couldn't seem to get the idea of helping Owlpaw out of her head. When she first met the cat, she had been angry, mad and slightly confushed. She had been in a fight with Nightpaw, mostly about how she spent more time with that rotten crimson she-cat than her own SISTER! But, Snowypaw didn't really want to be reminded about that..

She sighed, looking up to see Nightpaw was beside her. "What you day-dreaming about?" Nightpaw asked, cocking her head. "Hmmmm?"

Snowypaw shrugged, "Nothing." She muttered, she had promised not to tell anyone about Owlpaw. And she kept her promises, no matter how much it pained her not to share this with her sister. "Where are we going, this is-" Snowypaw stopped, eyes widing. Oh no! This was Owlpaw's territory.

Russettail walked to her side. "It's where we think that rotting wast of time peice of crowfood, apprentice is." He stated, usuing his usual trashy way of talking. "We found scents, and blood of squirrel's."

Snowypaw forced her fur flat, her gaze flickering to Russettail. "Wait-that could be just a passing loner." She argrued, rising her head to her mentor. "Anyways, I was there once. Didn't see any life of a MarbleClan cat, anyways arn't they use to mountains?" She asked, her light blue gaze flickering to him. "So, wouldn't it make more sence that she've stayed near or somehow on that mountain?"

The red tabby growled, hitting her ears with his paw. She flinched at the pain, silently thanking StarClan that he had his claws sheathed. "Don't get smart with me, anyways where all close to MarbleClan so it doesn't matter."

Snowypaw silently cursed under her breath. How come this stuck-up tom could tell her what to do? Hes your mentor! Snowypaw thought to herself, but it still didn't matter!

She ran forward, leaping onto a near-by rock. She glared at her mentor, before turning and going into the forest. Could she somehow tell Owlpaw, before Russettail, or the protrol found her? She glanced back, Russettail was speaking to the group, not paying attenchen to her. "I have to!"

Snowypaw walked down the trail she had first seen Owlpaw on. She stopped beside the tree, sniffing at it before slipping into the bushes she had seen Owlpaw go in. She started following the scent, her gaze searching as she stopped. The scent forked, one was over-lapped with Owlpaw's scent from many times. While, the other was just one path.

The white cat flicked her ear, looking at the over-lapping scent. She uses this path alot, She thought, cocking her head. I might be able to catch her most likely on this path. Snowypaw started following the scent-path, her tail flicking aside a few leafs.

Snowypaw's ears prickled, her head jurked up as a twig snapped. She gave a short smile, as she saw Owlpaw standing expetingly with a mouse hanging from her jaw. "Owlpaw," She meowed, breathing a sigh of relief. She had found her before Russettail!

The brown she-cat sat down, crossing her long, white tail over her paws. "What is it, Snowypaw?" Owlpaw meowed. Setting the mouse at her paws, with a short sigh.

Snowypaw gave a sly grin, "So you remember my name?" She purred, her fluffy tail flicking. But, with the quick growl and frown from Owlpaw she sighed. "My Clan is looking for you, Russettail has a protrol coming here now." She explained, her gaze narrowing. "Your scent marks, and leaving a few peices of prey around has stirred trouble."

Owlpaw gritted her teeth, anger flashing in her misty eyes. "What!" Owlpaw spat, her fur bristling. But, than her head snapped to Snowypaw, an accusing glare blazed in her blue eyes. "Why have you risk getting in trouble, to tell me?" She stepped forward, Owlpaw's lip pulled back into a snarl as Snowypaw crouched back, leaning back as Owlpaw shoved her muzzle into her face. "Why?"

"I-" Snowypaw stood up, walking around Owlpaw. "I just wanted you to have a chance, if a cat truely leaves their Clan. I belive its for a reason, and thats why I want to help you." She replied, sighing as she shrugged. "And, well." Snowypaw stumbled on her words, why had she tryed helping? After one meeting, after a few words, she hadn't thought about the risk of trying to help Owlpaw. It was just something that had popped into her mind, after Russettail had said about searching in Owlpaw's territory.

Owlpaw rised an eye brow. "Well?"

She swallowed, pawing the ground. "I had made a promise, and I keep my promises." Snowypaw replied cooly, her tail flicking to Owlpaw's shoulder. "Anyways, why did you leave MarbleClan?" She asked, "You had your whole life ahead of you."

Owlpaw snorted, waving her tail dismisively. "Nah, MarbleClan is going to still live, after 'bout a few moons they'll even forget I was there." She sighed, regret shined in her eyes for a second. Before smiling weakly, "Anyways, tell them you found me, than I ran." Owlpaw meowed, giving a smile. "Try chasing after me, if you still have your breath they'll think you just let me go."

Snowypaw nodded, "Arn't I letting you just go, anyways?"

The brown cat shrugged, "Its called lieing, faking and keeping your muzzle shut." Owlpaw mewed, turning to run.

Snowypaw blinked, Owlpaw really was fast! She started chasing after her, her paws thumping on the forest floor as she followed the white tail. She leaped, just barely hitting her hindfoot on a rotting log. She gritted her teeth, har vision starting to blurr as she stumbled on an twisted root. "Owlpa-!" Snowypaw screeched as she fell, tumbling down a slope with her paws hitting the sloped-floor.

The brown cat had leaped onto a low-hanging branch. But now, she ran. Nearly leaping at Snowypaw as she grabbed Snowypaw's scruff. Snowypaw drangled on the ledge, her gaze blurred from running, sides heaving as she took deep, shuddering breaths. Owlpaw's forepaws were dug into the earth, as she started dragging Snowypaw onto the solid ground.

The fluffy white she-cat dug her claws into the dirt. Burring her muzzle into the grass, as she looked up. "T-thank you!" She meowed, quickly getting to her paws. She stumbled, before resting her head onto Owlpaw's shoulder. "I-I could've fell, an-and."

Owlpaw gave her head a calming lick, before stepping back. "Your welcome, now stay here I got to run." Owlpaw meowed, she glanced back, her gaze lingering as she hesitently stepped back.

Snowypaw watched Owlpaw turn, then run her white tail trailing after the brown she-cat. She felt a pain in her heart, as she watched the she-cat run.

Great StarClan, what have a gotten myself into?
