Chapter 14

"Alright for today's activity you will hunt in a pairs. Dustpaw you'll be with Redpaw, Sorrelpaw you'll be with Snowpaw and Sandypaw since their is no other apprentices you will hunt with me." Tailwind meows, Snowpaw glances across the clearing at where Sorrelpaw is sitting beside her mentor, Icepath. He can't help but notice how her brown and white pelt is glittering in the soft amber light and her blue eyes are set seriously. Sighing Snowpaw trudges over to her. At first he's glad to be paired up with Sorrelpaw but her first retort makes him decide otherwise.

"You'd better not scare of the prey!" she growls before turning tail and stalking away, Snowpaw glances behind him. Redpaw is following Dustpaw, tail down. I'd rather hunt with Dustpaw and that's saying something! Tailwind is following Sandypaw, they seem to be heading towards RiverClan border. Frostpaw...Snowpaw thinks before turning towards Roseflame, Falconflight, Icepath and Nightclaw.

"What will you be doing?" Snowpaw asks,

"Watching you..." Nightclaw replies with a slight smirk. He's never been Snowpaw's favorite warrior, poor Sandypaw having him as a mentor! Snowpaw just nods to the black tom about to head into the undergrowth when Sorrelpaw yowls.

"Snowpaw do you have to be as slow as a snail! Mouse-brain!" Fur pricking Snowpaw calls back,

"I'm coming!" before storming towards the direction of Sorrelpaw's voice. But not before he hears Icepath's quiet remark to Falconflight.

"Poor things they used to be so close," ears hot Snowpaw pads quickly away. Great StarClan is the entire Clan gossiping about me and Sorrelpaw? He wonders just as Sorrelpaw storms from the undergrowth and straight into him. She opens her mouth as though going to say something rude but she stops herself, ducking her head in embarrassment.

"Where should we hunt?" she murmurs, his anger suddenly fades and Snowpaw pads over to the brown and white apprentice. Giving her a swift lick to the ear he flicks his ears towards ShadowClan's border.

"ShadowClan?" he suggests, Sorrelpaw rolls her eyes and Snowpaw braces himself for a snide retort. But Sorrelpaw just laughs.

"Lets catch us some frogs!" she exclaims haring away, Snowpaw hot on her heels.

Three, two, one...POUNCE! Snowpaw leaps on the mouse, a quick bite to the next ends its life and Snowpaw raises his head in happiness.

"Not as impressive as the hawk you caught," the voice of Mouseflight teases and Snowpaw frowns. Is Mouseflight in my mind? He wonders, "No mouse-brain! Up here!" another hiss from Mouseflight makes Snowpaw look up. The brown StarClan warrior is perched on a branch just about three feet up, Snowpaw gasps.

"Your...but I'm not-am I dreaming?" he questions, Mouseflight rolls his eyes.

"What do you think?" he grumbles.

"Yes?" Snowpaw suggests, Mouseflight snorts. (He has a habit of doing so)

"Of course not! You don't have to be asleep for me to visit you, thats just when we have are most important meetings...mouse-dung!" Mouseflight glances towards the undergrowth, "Your she-cat friend is coming back. See you tonight!" he quickly fades and Snowpaw spins around at the sound of Sorrelpaw emerging from the undergrowth.

"Hi! Catch anything?" she asks her mood restored, Snowpaw flicks his tail towards the two mice and a shrew that are lying a few tail lengths away from him. Sorrelpaw grins, "Nice! But I thought we were catching frogs!" she teases, swishing her tail to reveal two frogs, three mice and a squirrel behind her. Snowpaw's eyes grow wide, Sorrelpaw laughs. "Were the frogs to slippery?" she jokes, Snowpaw's green eyes glow with amusement.

"I'm not ShadowClan!" he retorts. Sorrelpaw pads over to him, brushing her tail lightly over Snowpaw's ear affectionately.

"I'm glad," she purrs. Snowpaw buts her flank with his head lightly,

"Come on lets get back to camp!" he exclaims. Picking up his mice by the tail, he frowns glancing down at his shrew. How will I ever manage all that? Snowpaw wonders,

"Let me help." a new voice makes Snowpaw spin around, half expecting to see Mouseflight behind him. Snowpaw gasps, a beautiful cream colored she-cat is appearing from the bushes. Her amber eyes are glittering, for a moment Snowpaw's lost in her gaze then he shakes out his fur.

"Get off ThunderClan territory!" he hisses, now that he can see the she-cat well he can't help but look her over questioningly. Her pelt is splotched with mud and what looks like fresh claw marks are all over her muzzle and flank.

"Your hurt!" Sorrelpaw yowls rushing towards her, the she-cat fluffs out her fur.

"Its nothing," she mumbles as Sorrelpaw sniffs at her pelt. "You a medicine cat or something?" she adds, Sorrelpaw shakes her head.

"No but I know a hurt cat when I see one, and your definitely hurt..." Sorrelpaw trails off, the she-cat manages a faint smile.

"Volemask," she murmurs. Snowpaw frowns, the name doesn't seem to fit the she-cat and it sounds like a warrior name. Snowpaw's expression must be really good because the she-cat nods, "I was once a warrior you know. But you can just call me Vole-and you are?"

"Sorrelpaw, and this is my friend Snowpaw!" Sorrelpaw chirps before turning to Snowpaw, "Go and get Tinyleaf and Spottedpaw!" she orders. Snowpaw nods and is about to pad away when someone interrupts him,

"No need for that." Lionstar meows as he pads into the clearing and bounds over to where Vole is laying, he sniffs at her wounds. Not saying anything for many moments, as he opens his mouth to speak Spottedpaw rushes into the clearing all most bumping into Snowpaw.

"Sorry!" He chirps, adding. "Tinyleaf couldn't come, Bristletail, Morningbreeze, and Pigeonpelt have come down with green-cough and shes moving them to are den in hope of not spreading the sickness to the Clan." he explains, Lionstar's fur bristles. He glances once more at Vole,

"I'd better go and help." he growls before turning tail and padding away, Snowpaw watches him for a few moments. Lionstar obviously knows Vole well but has mixed feelings about seeing her again. Turning back to Vole Snowpaw watches Spottedpaw with slight interest. The medicine cat apprentice is sniffing at Vole's pelt smearing various amounts of herbs over her scratches.

"Green-cough, that sounds bad." Sorrelpaw murmurs padding over to sit beside Snowpaw, who murmurs agreement. Green-cough is deadly, especially if it turns to black or white cough and spreads through the Clan. Snowpaw shivers at the thought.

"Pigeonpelt has it," he suppresses his mew guarded. Sorrelpaw huffs,

"Yes...and Snowpaw he's just a friend, besides I'm just as worried about Morningbreeze and Bristletail!" Snowpaw can detect no lie in Sorrelpaw's mew but he doesn't feel happy as he'd thought.

"We should go back," he meows. Sorrelpaw nods in agreement before turning towards Spottedpaw, the medicine cat apprentice is hard at work.

"Were heading back to camp, we'll send two warriors..." she mutters, Spottedpaw flicks his ears in a signal that he heard before continuing to work. Grabbing his prey, Snowpaw starts for ThunderClan camp. Sorrelpaw beside him.

Another fit of coughing erupts from the medicine den, Snowpaw winces his mouse suddenly tasting like bramble tendrils. He and Sorrelpaw have only just got back, to find that Dawncloud, Whitefeather, and Tansylight have all been sent to the medicine den. Luckily Lightkit, Fuzzykit and Thornkit didn't catch the cough from their mother and are all resting peacefully in the nursery. Though Tinyleaf is watching them very closely.

"Snowpaw...I..." Sorrelpaw breaks off as she begins to cough, Snowpaw's fur stands on end. "Mouse-dung! Must have swallowed a feat-" Sorrelpaw breaks off again as she continues to cough. Snowpaw helps her to her paws, leading her towards the medicine den.

"Another one?" Tinyleaf meows wearily, Snowpaw nods leading Sorrelpaw towards the back of the den. The brown and white apprentice is shivering, Snowpaw's not sure if that's from the cold or a fever. She does feels warm, Tinyleaf presses her muzzle to Sorrelpaw's head. Before looking up her eyes glazing over, "High fever." she remarks ushering Snowpaw from the den before he can reply.

Once outside of the sticky medicine den Snowpaw pads over to Redpaw, he Sandypaw and Dustpaw are also watching the medicine den. Uneaten prey laying beside them,

"Sorrelpaw caught it..." Snowpaw mumbles. Both Sandypaw and Dustpaw jump to their paws before sitting down again.

"We already asked if we could visit the sick cats, Tinyleaf said no. She doesn't want more cats falling ill." Sandypaw remarks, Snowpaw nods. He can see the medicine cats reasoning but it doesn't make him happy. Snowpaw turns towards the gorse tunnel just as Spottedpaw, Wildlily, Moontail and Vole pad into camp. Vole looks around her expression scared and also guarded, Wildlily and Moontail lead her to a small den near the back of camp. Its known as the prisoners den and Snowpaw can tell that Vole knows because her nose wrinkles in disgust as they approach it. Spottedpaw immediately rushes towards the medicine den. Lionstar appears from his den, briefly stopping to talk with Spottedpaw before disappearing back into his den. Snowpaw sighs, is the whole Clan hiding? He's about to voice his thoughts when Redpaw gets to his paws.

"We'll we can't do anything to help them, we may as well go to bed." he meows stretching and padding towards the apprentice den. Snowpaw growls under his breath,

"We must be able to do something! What about catmint?" he questions, looking tired and worried Sandypaw shakes her head.

"Its not working," she meows. Dustpaw nods also getting to his paws,

"Their in the paws of StarClan now..." he murmurs wistfully. Snowpaw sighs he won't admit defeat not so soon into the battle that is. He may not be fighting this one but he needs to help his Clan.

"Mouseflight...help?" Snowpaw pleads, no reply. Only the faint twinkle of stars above, sighing Snowpaw is about to follow his denmates towards the apprentice den when sounds of Sorrelpaw coughing grows from the medicine den. Tinyleaf slips out, Snowpaw rushes over to her.

"Is she-" he starts,

"Its black-cough." Tinyleaf murmurs sadly, "She might not survive." Snowpaw flattens his ears,

"She has to!" he yowls. Tinyleaf blinks,

"Snowpaw-" she starts. Snowpaw just darts away from the medicine cat and into the medicine den. Not caring if he gets sick. He rushes over to Sorrelpaw curling around her.

"Its going to be okay...don't die...I love you..."
