Hey! Here's the fifth chapter, everyone.
Tsunamipaw paced restlessly in frony of the apprentices' den. Whitepelt looked on worriedly.
"Tsunamipaw! Stop it!" She finally cried. Tsunamipaw whipped around.
"I can't, Whitepelt! My only sister is so sick she can't stay awake!"
Whitepelt was taken aack. She barely knew Tsunamipaw, but he'd never yelled at any cat since he arrived at ThunderClan. Truthfully, Witepelt kind of liked Tsunamipaw, and she had thought about taking the silver-blue apprentice as a mate once he became a warrior. Whitepelt turned and headed into the warriors' den. Tsunamipaw looked at her and suddenly felt bad. It wasn't Whitepelt's fault Ratpaw was so sick. He shouldn't have yelled at her like that.
Cinderpelt stood over Ratpaw, who was sleeping again. She had placed a peice of cold water-soaked moss on the apprentice's forehead. The little cat had been burning up. Cinderpelt began to ponder the dream again, the one she had the night before Ratpaw got sick.
'Wat did it mean? Who is "Braveheart"?' Hundreds of questions raced through the StarClan-chosen medicine cat's mind. The string of endless unanswered queries halted abruptly when Ratpaw moaned pitifully. Cinderpelt put some basil in front of Ratpaw. "Chew it."
Ratpaw chewed the basil leaves and swallowed.
"Good girl," Cinderpelt mewed as Leafpetal came in with three voles. "I couldn't carry the moss, too. I'll be right back."
Cinderpelt placed a vole in Leafpetal's nest for when the cat returned. Ratpaw took the smallest vole. Leafpetal came back with a wad of black moss soaked in water.
"Drink this," Leafpetal instructed.
Ratpaw happily obeyed, and sucked the cool, refreshing water out of the moss.
When the three cats had finished eating, Tsunamipaw walked into the den. "You okay, Ratpaw?" He asked.
Ratpaw gave a feeble nod. "I'm getting better," She replied.
"Tsunamipaw, I understand that you're worried, but whatever Ratpaw has could be contagious. Besides that, she need even more rest now. If there's any change in her condition, you'll e the first to know." Cinderpelt told him.
Ratpaw lay her head down again. "Sleep, Ratpaw." Cinderpelt's voice was the last thng the she-cat heard before drifting off to sleep.
Sort of a filler chapter-- Chapter six should be up by Friday the 17th.
