Lichenpaw's POV
Lichenpaw couldn't help but feel a slight twinge of guilt. She had seriously worried everyone. She brushed it aside though.
"So, Lichenpaw." Finchpaw's voice made her jump.
"Oh! Yeah?" She asked, glancing over at her brother. She wondered why he looked so nervous. "What's up with you? You're really nervous lately." Lichenpaw added.
"What? Oh, no reason." Finchpaw stuttered, looking flustered. Weird... She thought.
"I was, uh, just wondering if you wanted to hang out at the lake with Smokepaw and me." Finchpaw mewed, clearing his throat. Smokepaw rolled his eyes at his brother.
"Sexy voice crack bro." Smokepaw laughed, shoving the blue tabby. Finchpaw stuck his tongue out at his brother, cuffing his ear.
"Sure, I'll go. I just need to ask Lilypad." Lichenpaw purred. She padded over to her mentor, whom was conversing with the other mentors. "Lilypad, could I go hang out with Finchpaw and Smokepaw at the lake?" She asked sweetly, her emerald eyes twinkling.
Lilypad purred. "Of course." Lichenpaw bounced on her paws, thanking her. She trotted back to her brothers, a grin plastered on her face. The trio padded out of camp, joking around. She suddenly stopped, scenting the air.
"Guys, shh." She whispered. Her paws became silent as she tracked the scent. Her blood roared in her ears, as the scent got stronger. Cat... She-cat... Why is a loner on our territory? She wondered, stalking forward. Her brothers were close behind her as she crept.
"Don't come near me!"
A/N: Ugh, I suck at decent length chapters. DX I promise next chapter will be longer. Can I have some ideas on how to go ahead with this next chapter? Also, What do you think is going on with Finchpaw?
