Chapter 3:
Mistpaw padded into the SnowClan camp from battle training with her best friend, Maplepaw. Her mentor, Flakestar padded in behind them. There was more of a chill in the air than there usually was. Although it was always cold in the tundra, where SnowClan's territory was. Mistpaw's belly rumbled and she headed over to the fresh-kill pile. She picked up a snow hare and padded over to Maplepaw.
"Want to share this snow hare with me Maplepaw?" Mistpaw asked Maplepaw. Maplepaw nodded and Mistpaw settled down beside her. Leopardkit came tumbling past them with a leaf as Mistpaw and Maplepaw finished the snow hare.
"Can you be a badger for me Mistpaw?" Leopardkit asked her.
"Sure!" Mistpaw meowed. She loved playing with kits. Mistpaw crouched lower to the ground, imitating a badger. Leopardkit crouched down and leapt onto Mistpaw's back, pretending to claw her back. Mistpaw growled and Leopardkit yowled. Maplepaw stared at them, laughing hysterically.
Then Mistpaw's mother, Coldfern, padded up behind Mistpaw and growled. Mistpaw turned around and looked at her mother.
"What are you doing?" Coldfern growled and Mistpaw flattened her ears. "I said what are you doing?"
"I-I-I'm playing with Leopardkit." Mistpaw nervously meowed.
"Well don't! Go clean out the elders' bedding and take care of their ticks." Coldfern hissed and padded away. Mistpaw's mother hated her because she blamed her for her mate's death. But Mistpaw had nothing to do with that. Mistpaw seemed like a cherry cat from the outside, but she was actually really lonely.
Mistpaw laid her head down in her nest in the apprentices' den. She had cleaned out the elders' bedding and took care of their ticks, only to get more scolding from Coldfern. Mistpaw couldn't sleep as she thought about all the times Coldfern had scolded her for nothing. Absolutely nothing. Sadly, no one had ever noticed. Then she had a thought in her head. She could tell Flakestar and then Flakestar could get her Coldfern to stop being mean to her. Now that she had come up with that plan, she could easily fall asleep to store up energy for the coming day.
The following morning, Mistpaw got up before Coldfern sent out the dawn patrol. The camp was quiet and cold. Mistpaw padded to Flakestar's den.
"Flakestar?" Mistpaw whispered into the den.
"Yes Mistpaw?" Flakestar meowed.
"Did I wake you?" Mistpaw asked, hoping she hadn't.
"No." Flakestar meowed. "Come in." Mistpaw padded into Flakestar's den. She sat down and Flakestar sat up and yawned.
"What did you want to tell me?"
"Um, Coldfern has been being really mean to me." Mistpaw meowed nervously.
"What do you want me to do about that?"
"I was thinking maybe you could tell her to just leave me alone. She hates me."
"I can't tell her what to do, but I can try and make her not hate you." Flakestar concluded. "Go back to sleep, I'll think about what I can do." Mistpaw nodded gratefully and went back to sleep in the apprentices' den.
Hi! I hoped you liked that chapter. I decided to use Mistpaw for a POV because she was one of the first cats submitted to me. Her creator is Duskspiral. Thank you! I really really need RiverClan cats. In case you didn't know, Halostar and Sparkstar are based off my own cats, Spark and Halo. They are sisters and are part tabby part American shorthair. Thanks to icanwrite13 for giving me a lot of OCs so I can continue. Please put your OCs in the reviews or pm me. ?
