Wetpaw: *sigh*

me: Hopeless...

Brightpaw: I'll do it!

me: Wait what are you doing here!?

Brightpaw: You said no spoilers. Anyway: ~BrightSun~ does not claim or own Warriors. Erin Hunter does!

Chapter 6

"Your names suits this weather well." observed Sedgepaw.

Wetpaw sighed. After a good hunt with Rainpaw and their mentors, the last thing he wanted was to hear the hot-headed apprentice's comments. They were in the burrow where the apprentices slept when there was a bad weather outside. It had began pouring when they still had been hunting and now their fur was dripping wet.

"I guess they do." answered Rainpaw, obviously not bothered by Sedgepaw's comment. Wetpaw envied his brother's calm and faith in the Clan.

Sedgepaw got on his paws. "I guess I'd better be going."

"Good luck cleaning the elders' den!" mewed Wetpaw sarcastically.

Sedgepaw shot him an angry glance, then quickly got out of the den.

Wetpaw felt his brother's claws into his tail.

"Hey! Stop it Rainpaw!"

Rainpaw narrowed his eyes. "You should be the one stopping. I mean, you should stop annoying Sedgepaw! He'll only get more annoying."

"Ok, I get it! But could you please stop digging you claw in my tail?"

Rainpaw slowly let go. "I don't understand why you are so upset about it."

"Upset about what?" asked Wetpaw annoyed, between a couple of licks on his tail.

"You know what I mean." His brother lashed his tail. "You should be happy WindClan let us in."

Wetpaw snorted. "I will be happy when I'll be accepted as I am. WindClan may have let us in but some of them still doesn't trust us. Why? Because we are half Clan. Still, we are cats! I don't see what pure blood change."

"It changes everything! And now we suffer their mistakes. It seems that some cats forget the importance of the code and where a Clan cat heart truly lies."

Wetpaw winced at his brother answer. Rainpaw would never be able to forgive Breezefur and their mother. Even when he was a kit, he always stayed away from Heatherleaf.

"I still believe-"

"Wetpaw! Dusk patrol!"

"Fox dung!" he mewed, scrambling to his paw. He looked at Rainpaw. His brother was glaring at him with his angry blue eyes.

"See you later!" mewed Wetpaw, exiting the den. Outside, rain welcomed him. He sighed and padded up to Dustclaw and Bluecloud.

"Is there someone else on the patrol?" he asked. Just then he saw Heatherleaf coming toward them.

"It answers your question?" mewed Bluecloud. Without waiting his reply, she spun around and followed Dustclaw out of camp. Wetpaw and Heatherleaf walked three foxtails behind them, without saying a word. He realized they were heading toward the RiverClan border. Or else Heatherleaf wouldn't be on this patrol. He sighed, annoyed, and to make thing worse he remembered his argument with Rainpaw.

"You shouldn't be so upset, Wetpaw." mewed gently Heatherleaf. "I'm alright with it."

"How did you know what I was thinking?"

"I'm still your mother." she answered, brushing her tail along his fur. "Every time you are upset, you keep sighing and flicking you ears."

Wetpaw shook his wet fur and shrugged. "I guess I do."

"Everything will be alright if you follow what you believe is right, not what you think it is."

He tilted his head, but before he had time to ask what it meant, Dustclaw shouted: "Hurry up you two, you are falling behind and we are nearly at the border."

They quickened their pace catch up with Dustclaw and Bluecloud.

Wetpaw was lying in his nest, trying to sleep, but his restless mind was keeping him up. He hadn't had another opportunity to ask what had his mother meant. Believe and think… Doesn't it means the same thing? He sighed and got on his paw. He quietly walked out of the den, careful not to disturb Rainpaw and Sedgepaw who were deep asleep.

He was now on the hill again, watching the lake. He had sneaked out of camp to come here and think. He sighed again, letting the rain pour through his fur.

He tried to make sense of Heatherleaf's words, but he knew that wasn't the reason he was so restless. Yet again he thought of the cat he had saw two nights ago. He couldn't stop to think of her, and it bothered him. To make things worse, he had nearly landed on her at the gathering. Brightpaw. When their eyes had met, his heart had skipped a beat. She had recognized him, he was sure of it. That name really suits her.

He sighed again. Realizing what a stupid decision he had just made. Before having the time to change his mind, he got up and ran. Wetpaw, are you stupid!? He kept telling himself those words. He arrived soon at the border. ThunderClan's border. I can't believe you are that stupid, Wetpaw. Do you really think it is possible? He walked along the river down to the lake. Maybe it is. He put one paw in front of the other again and again so he wouldn't stop. Wetpaw, think again about it. He hesitated. Suddenly the lake appeared in front of him. I know it's stupid, so this why I'll prove to myself that it is impossible.

"So you came."

He jumped in surprise at the mew. He turned around to see a cat emerging from the bushes.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"You already forgot about me… I guess it can't be helped."

Impossible! he told himself. I must be so tired I'm seeing things.

"Don't worry you are not dreaming." she mewed. "Because I must be the one dreaming."

"So it's really you."

"What are you doing here?"

"Dreaming about the one thing that seemed impossible."

"Wetpaw, are you stupid?" she asked. "I'm the one dreaming here. I thought I could sleep tonight."

"It seems you know my name, Brightpaw."

She looked at her paws. "And you know mine."

He sat down. "What are you doing here?"

"May I ask you the same question?"

"I was taking a night walk."

"You mean you wanted to see me so much, you even came under this rain."

He gave himself a couple of embarrassed licks. "You were looking much better when your fur wasn't soaking wet. Anyway, why did you came?"

She looked at him with her beautiful green eyes. "I had a feeling you would come."

"So you mean you wanted to see me so much, you even came under this rain?"

Suddenly Brightpaw jumped to her paws. "Hide! Quick!"
