Chapter Twenty Four
Snowpaw pads alongside Sorrelrose as they near the WindClan border.
"Think they'll try and stop us?" Sorrelrose questions, sounding slightly scared. Snowpaw snorts,
"Scared of a few rabbit eaters?" He teases. Sorrelrose's blue eyes flash and she glares at Snowpaw her white and brown pelt beginning to prickle.
"No! Of course not. I'm a warrior, after all!" She boasts, Snowpaw digs his claws into the grassy ground. He wants to throw an insult at the she-cat but he forces himself to stay calm.
"Yes. Yes you are..." He murmurs, adding. "And didn't you make me promise to hurry up and become a warrior because you loved me?" Sorrelrose stiffens at his words and she doesn't meet his eyes. "Well didn't you?!" Snowpaw snaps.
Sorrelrose sighs, "Yes." She murmurs quietly, adding much to Snowpaw's surprise. "I still want you to." Snowpaw's heart pangs at her words and he longs to apologize to the brown and white she-cat and become her friend again. But he doesn't.
"Well you wrecked our friendship anyway!" Snowpaw snaps. Sorrelrose's blue eyes blaze.
"Me? All I wanted to do was be your friend! But for some strange reason you shut me out!" She hisses, Snowpaw's green eyes blaze with equal fury.
"Some strange reason?! SOME STRANGE REASON!" He yowls. "You know perfectly well why I shut you out and its your fault!"
"My fault! Pigeonpelt comforts me and suddenly you hate me!" She roars, Snowpaw growls at Pigeonpelt's name his white fur bristling.
"I see the way you look at him Sorrelrose! A mouse could tell you like him!" Snowpaw spats Sorrelrose's name rage flooding through him.
"SNOWPAW YOU ARE THE MOST MOUSE-BRAINED OF A CAT TO EVER LIVE IN THE CLANS! I-" The sound of a twig snapping cuts Sorrelrose off and she spins around.
Oh great.
Snowpaw thinks as he gazes at the WindClan patrol.
Leopardheart is leading the patrol her whiskers twitching in amusement and also anger as she gazes at Sorrelrose and Snowpaw. Rapidriver is behind her, he has a smirk on his face and his light blue eyes are gleaming with amusement. Darkcloud is bringing up the rear with a younger cat Snowpaw doesn't recognize. Darkcloud just looks plain angry while the younger cat looks scared.
"Oh! Hey!" Sorrelrose meows lamely. Darkcloud sneers,
"Your trespassing on WindClan territory!" He growls. Snowpaw's blue eyes flash and he stalks over to the black tom until their nose to nose.
"Were going to The Moonstone you hare-brain!" he hisses, Darkcloud's eyes flash and he unsheathes his claws. Snowpaw hisses.
"ENOUGH!" Leopardheart yowls shouldering Darkcloud out of the way she glares at Snowpaw. "Your going to The Moonstone?" She questions through narrowed eyes. Snowpaw nods, not trusting himself to respond without scratching her ear off.
"You are?" Rapidriver asks looking confused.
"Yes." Sorrelrose replies curtly. "If you didn't notice we have to cross your territory to get there."
Rapidriver smirks. "The Moonstone is over there," he flicks his tail towards a point behind Snowpaw. Snowpaw spins around and instantly winces.
The Moonstone is many tail lengths behind Sorrelrose and Snowpaw. Sorrelrose's eyes widen and she glances at Snowpaw mouthing: Your fault! Snowpaw digs his claws into the ground, forcing himself not to respond in the WindClan cats presence.
"Oh." Sorrelrose finally murmurs, "Were sorry. We got carried away bickering and began-" Darkcloud cuts her off with a hiss.
"Began heading straight towards are camp! I don't believe it! Your obviously planning some kind of attack!" Snowpaw's fur bristles and he glares at Darkcloud.
"Don't be such a hare-brain, Darkcloud!" Leopardheart meows, adding with amusement in her tone. "We heard these two bickering all the way back at camp, its obvious there telling the truth."
Snowpaw's pelt grow hot. We were that loud?
"There could be more of them!" Darkcloud insists, Leopardheart rolls her eyes.
"Then you can check, I'm going back to camp." She mutters, before turning back to face the ThunderClan cats. "Lets not let this happen again, alright?"
Snowpaw and Sorrelrose nod, "Yes." They both murmur as though they're kits who have done something naughty.
"Next time we won't be so nice." Darkcloud snaps before turning and stalking off. Leopardheart rolls her eyes at her Clanmate before nodding to the ThunderClan cats and turning and following Darkcloud towards camp, Rapidriver and the younger cat behind her.
Once they're gone Snowpaw turns to face Sorrelrose and hisses. "That was your fault!" Sorrelrose's eyes blaze once again.
"How?" She demands, Snowpaw snorts.
"You raised your voice so you were yowling at me!" Snowpaw replies smugly. Snowrose just flicks her tail crossly,
"Come on!" She hisses before stomping off in the direction of The Moonstone. Snowpaw waits a few moments before following her. His anger suddenly melting,
"Hey, I'm sorry!" Snowpaw exclaims. Sorrelrose frowns, turning to stare at him before snorting.
"I'm not falling into one of your traps again!" She hisses stalking ahead. Snowpaw frowns, what is that supposed to mean?
Sorry its a bit short! What do you think Sorrelrose means?
Please review!
