Hey guys! I'm on book 5 of the 2nd series, New Prophecy, and I love the way they go back and forth from one cat's perspective, to the others. So that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to be going back and forth from Blossomheart's perspective, to Shadowpaw's perspective. Enjoy!

Shadowpaw flattened her ears sadly.

"You don't belong here, mouse-dung!" Echopaw repeated. "Go back to the fox hole you crawled out of!"

"That's enough, Echopaw!" hissed a new voice. The apprentices turned to see Silvernight stalking toward them. "Are you alright Shadowpaw?"

Shadowpaw nodded, looking down at her paws

Silvernight looked back at Rainpaw and Echopaw. "You girls know better than to treat an apprentice like that!" She scowled.

"But she is from ShadowClan," Echopaw complained.

"She is a part of ThunderClan now, and you shall respect her as you with any other apprentice!" Silvernight spat. "Now go see to the elders." Echopaw sheathed her claws and turned toward the elders den, muttering something; she flicked her tail for Rainpaw to follow, which she did.
Silvernight looked back at Shadowpaw. "Are you alright?" she asked, her voice as smooth as a small stream during new-leaf.
Shadowpaw nodded, still looking at her paws.
"Hey," Silvernight mewed. "Don't listen to Echopaw, alright? She is as stubborn as kit." Silvernight padded off without saying anything else.
Shadowpaw looked up to see Rainpaw staring at her. "What are you looking at?" Shadowpaw spat.

"I'm not like Echopaw," Rainpaw's voice was a soft as a mouse. "Ever since she became an apprentice, she thinks she is just so much better than every other cat."

"How do I know you're not lying?" Shadowpaw hissed.
Rainpaw looked down at her paws, obviously thinking of what to say.
Shadowpaw narrowed her eyes. "Forget it," she growled.

"Wait!" Rainpaw pleaded. "Just give me a chance."

Shadowpaw thought for a second. What if Rainpaw was tricking her? Although Shadowpaw doubted it, she knew the chances of that happening were slightly high. "Alright," She agreed after several moments. "But keep that mouse-dung Echopaw away from me."

Rainpaw looked toward the elders den where Echopaw had vanished, then back at Shadowpaw. "Deal," She meowed.

Shadowpaw dipped her head, and began to walk toward the medicine cat den, where she had seen Blossomheart disappeared to.

"Wait," Rainpaw called back. "D-does this mean we're friends?" she stammered.
Shadowpaw looked back at her, wide-eyed. Did she just say we are friends? She thought. "Yeah," Shadowpaw smiled awkwardly. "Yeah I guess it does."
Rainpaw purred delightedly and bounded toward the elders den. I hope she doesn't tell Echopaw that we're friends. Shadowpaw thought. That would become messy. Shadowpaw looked back toward the medicine cat den, and began padding into it.

"Was it the rogue, Dark?" She heard a voice.

"Who's Dark?" Shadowpaw asked, revealing herself from the darkness.

Blossomheart looked over at the apprentice. "Oh," the she-cat gasped. "Hello Shadowpaw. I believe you have met Stonestripe."
The grey tom dipped his head. "Hello Shadowpaw. How are you feeling?"

Shadowpaw narrowed her eyes. "Who. Is. Dark?" she repeated, not wanting to change the subject. Blossomheart and Stonestripe exchanged glances. "Well?" Shadowpaw hissed.

"Shadowpaw, why don't you go to the apprentice's den?" Blossomheart meowed, her voice shaky. "Silvernight will show you to your new nest."

"But-"

"Shadowpaw, please!" Blossomheart interrupted. She flicked her tail toward the entrance. "Just do as you're told."
Shadowpaw hadn't taken her eyes off of Blossomheart. What wasn't Blossomheart telling her? During Shadowpaw's apprenticing at ShadowClan, Shadowpaw's mother, a light grey she-cat named Willowfur, claimed that Roseclaw, now known as Blossomheart, couldn't be trusted. Shadowpaw thought her mother was just being over protected, but now she's not so sure.
After several moments of thinking, Shadowpaw padded out of the den, and into the clearing. It was dusk and the sky was filled with beautiful pink and orange waves. Shadowpaw scanned the camp for any sight of Rainpaw, but saw nothing. She was about to go to the apprentices den, when she heard voices behind the nursery.

"You can't trust them!" said one voice.

"You're being mouse-brained." said another. Shadowpaw quietly padded to the side of the nursery; she looked over to see Rainpaw and Echopaw standing behind the nursery.

"I'm telling you," Echopaw hissed. "Those two are planning something."

"And I'm telling you, you're over reacting."

"Over reacting?" Echopaw scoffed. "Blossomheart lost her memory, went to ShadowClan, and came back with that stupid apprentice, and you expect me to believe she's not planning something?"

Rainpaw bared her teeth. "Shadowpaw is not stupid, nor is she planning something!" She hissed.

Echopaw narrowed her eyes. "You're friends with her?" she gasped.

"That's right," Rainpaw confirmed. "And she is a way better friend than you ever were." Before Echopaw could react, Rainpaw bounded off in the opposite direction of Shadowpaw's hiding spot. Shadowpaw padded slowly to the front of the nursery. It didn't take long to find Rainpaw, grooming her fur near the apprentices den.

"I heard what you and Echopaw were talking about," Shadowpaw sighed as she sat next to Rainpaw.
She looked up at Shadowpaw with wide eyes. "I'm sorry," she wailed softly. "I didn't mean to tell Echopaw we're friends, it just came out, and-"

"Why were you talking to her," Shadowpaw interrupted. "You said you wouldn't."

"She tricked me," The grey tabby explained. "She told me Silvernight wanted us to fix a hole, behind the nursery. But when we got there, there was no hole, and she just started talking about how I can't trust you and Blossomheart."

Shadowpaw didn't know what made her angrier, the fact that Echopaw was talking about her and Blossomheart behind their backs, or that Rainpaw stayed to hear what Echopaw was going to say. "You don't believe her do you?" Shadowpaw questioned.

"Of course I don't," Rainpaw assured her. "She's just being mouse-brained."

"When isn't she mouse-brained?" Shadowpaw purred.

"Come on," Rainpaw meowed after a couple of minutes. "It's getting dark. There's an extra nest next to mine. You can sleep there."
The two apprentices headed into the moon-light-filled den. Rainpaw lied down in one of the nest. Shadowpaw hesitated for a moment, but sat down next to her.

"Good night," Rainpaw yawned.

"Good night," Shadowpaw answered. She sat their wide awake, unable to stop thinking about her family. Pinepaw, Skypaw, Riverpaw, and her mother, Willowfur. She began to wonder if she made the right decision leaving her home in ShadowClan. Please let this be where I belong, she prayed to StarClan. Please let this be where I'm meant to be…
