Chapter 2: Decisions
Fallenpaw's POV
I yawned as I came back to the waking world. I turned to find that I was the last to get up.
"Duskstar needs to pick up some responsibility from Tigerheart or Ashspirit. At least there apprentices are up training before the end of the world comes"I murmured.
I walked out of the apprentices den trying to find cays willing to go with me on a hunting patrol. I found that Silentsong was not busy. So I went out hunting. Since it was Newleaf, prey was plentiful. By the time it was Sunhigh, we had gathered three mice, a pigeon, a chaffinch, and two squirrels. We went back to camp to find everyone back from training. I was pretty tired, so I grabbed a mouse and walked to where Hopepaw and Solemnpaw were eating. Solemnpaw was the medicine cat apprentice, so she was not as close to me as Hopepaw. But still, she found time to be with us.
"Where have you been?"Hopepaw asked.
"Hunting with Silentsong. She actually did something, other than my lazy mentor." I said casually.
Solemnpaw just about spit out her rabbit. "What did you say about our leader?"
"Nothing. I just want to be a warrior before Mistykit." I said.
Solemnpaw grumbled under her breath. Ever since it had been announced that she was the medicine cat apprentice, she has grown more and more mature. Some would think she never did anything wrong. She was perfect for the role as medicine cat, but... I couldn't help but think that she will one day make a big slip. Hard to believe that she would slip up, but I thought she would.
Then I remembered why she was acting so strange. Tomorrow she was going to the moonstone to get her medicine cat name. I thought that was what was making her nervous. It was like getting your warrior name. Hopefully after that she would not treat us apprentices like kits. I would not like her doing that. She seems to be doing it a bit already.
Then Silentpaw and Twilightpaw walked up to us. A look crossed Solemnpaw's face that I couldn't understand. I pushed that away. The rabbit was probably giving her gas or something. As they got closer I could see there faces clearly.
"Did you guys hear about the prophecy? It sounds cool. And what's with the SouthClans believing in StarClan? Twilightpaw asked.
"Now the prophecy is supposed to be a secret. How do you know?" I asked.
"Rainstorm" Silentpaw answered quickly. He looked down at the ground.
"Apparently, Silentpaw is suddenly really interested in his feet." Twilightpaw said with a laugh.
"Uh... gotta go!" Silentpaw said and then shot of into the forest.
"Wait!" I called. Then I sped off after him.
I heard Twilightpaw ask when I shot off after him"What did I say?"
I ran off through the undergrowth. Trying to catch up to him was hard, because he raced off at top speed. Then I saw a movement at Talltree. I stopped, looked and listened. I smelt Silentpaw before I saw him. I looked into the clearing. I saw Silentpaw moping as if the whole Clan was knocked out.
'Or maybe someone?' I thought.
'Stop that. Silentpaw is an apprentice, he doesn't like anybody, does he?'I snapped at myself.
'Do I want him to like somebody?' I continued.
'Of course not!' I mentally screamed at myself.
'Are you sure?' my brain asked.
'No, I mean yes!' I stumbled.
'Just see what he is doing' I said.
'K'I answered.
I watched what Silentpaw was doing. From what I could tell, he was having a fight with himself. If I strained my ears, I could hear him.
"Of course I don't like her! I'm just an apprentice!" he whispered.
"About to be a warrior, right?" he asked himself.
"Yea, but you never know when she will become a warrior. Plus, I heard what she said about her lazy mentor." he said.
"And you never know if she likes me back"
"But there is a chance, right?" he battled.
Suddenly he stopped. I noticed the wind had changed direction. He lifted his nose and sniffed. Then he started tumbling through the undergrowth. He must have smelt me. But what would make him run like that? Unless... I batted the thought away mentally. That couldn't be true, could it?
What was the thought that crossed Solemnpaw's face? Was the rabbit really giving her gas?What do you think Fallenpaw thought? Who do you think Silentpaw likes? Why do I ask so many questions? Well, R and R. Oh and on the allegiances page I put Silentsong as Solemnpaw's mentor, but I meant to put her as the medicine cat apprentice.
