Hopepaw and Robinpaw sat talking, as the day brightened. They were resting having run since Fourtrees.
" I'm an EarthClan apprentice." Hopepaw didn't mention she was the Medicine Cat Apprentice. Robinpaw nodded.
" I'm from SkyClan..." He said quietly.
" Mysticstorm's old Clan." Hopepaw muttered, but backed away when Robinpaw glared at her, fire dancing in his eyes.
" She was one cat! Do not judge my Clan by her actions!" He growled, turning his back on Hopepaw. She sighed wearily.
" This is going to be a very long day..."
Mysticstorm was letting her group of cats rest. Their paws were broken and bloody, and every cat was almost screaming for rest.
" Mysticstorm, we can't keep this up!" A snowy white cat limped over to the she-cat.
" We have to, Blade!"
" We can't!" A scream was heard, that echoed around the area. Every cat froze, and looked up, eyes filled with horror. Blade was hanging limply from Mysticstorm's jaws, blood already fast staining his pelt.
" This is what what will happen to you, if you don't keep moving! I will kill that bloody cat, Spiritstar, and all the Clans!" The cats cowered in front of Mysticstorm, before they slunk away.
Two days later, Hopepaw and Robinpaw had made good progress. The two young cats were still not speaking to each other, but whenever Hopepaw looked away, Robinpaw locked his gaze onto her. Hopepaw was the same, and her frustration was building.
" Look, Robinpaw, I never meant to offend you..." She said finally, when they stopped to rest. Robinpaw stayed silent.
" Robinpaw, what the hell do you want me to say?!" Hopepaw demanded. Robinpaw looked at her for a moment.
" That you forgive me, for being such a mousebrain."
" Fine. Robinpaw, I forgive you for being such a mousebrain. Happy?"
" Very." Hopepaw rolled her eyes, and batted Robinpaw around the head.
" Hey!" He said, grinning. Hopepaw laughed wickedly, and darted away.
" I'll get you for that!" Robinpaw vowed, racing after her.
As night fell, the two apprentices had almost fallen asleep, exhaustion overcoming them. Robinpaw had finally caught Hopepaw, and attacked her with sheathed paws. Hopepaw smiled slightly, and yawned. Today had been good. At least she was talking to Robinpaw again. She closed her eyes, feeling drowsy, before a scent so strong, hit her.
" Robinpaw!" Hopepaw shouted. Robinpaw woke instantly, and gasped at the black and white shape looming above them.
" Badger!"
