Chapter 13: Plans cancelled
a/n Sorry for taking so long to update! I've been working on (yet again) a new fanfiction, and it's got my own characters and everything. Including Featherpaw, because I have to admit, she's pretty awesome. Hehehe. I'm really great at starting stories, but... I'm not so great at finishing them... I kinda figured everyone knows how much I love reviews, so I don't think I'll need to remind you again, hehe.
I look around frantically, I need some prey otherwise Graystripe might think I'm not fit to train as a ThunderClan apprentice. I catch a whiff of mouse, and creep up after it. I pounce, only just getting it by its tail. I kill it, and quickly make my way back to the clearing in the middle of the forest.
Graystripe looks at me, then the scrawny mouse hanging by its tail in my jaws. "That's a good start, Featherpaw. The more you practise, the better you'll get."
I nod as Mousewhisker, Honeyfern and Poppyfrost emerge from the bushes, each of them carrying two birds each.
"Nice catch." Mousewhisker comments; he's looking at Graystripe's rabbit that is probably the size of me.
He looks at me. "Was that you yowling when we were hunting?"
I duck as I walk around him. "Hehe, sorry,"
Graystripe shakes his head with disapproval. "Come on,"
We walk back to the camp, and I put my mouse on the fresh-kill pile, my ears burning with embarrassment.
Hollyleaf pads up to me. "Hey, Featherpaw! Lionblaze was telling me that you went to speak to Firestar after he told you about Sol," she tilts her head. "What was that all about?"
"Oh, it doesn't matter anymore," I say.
Cinderheart bounds over to Hollyleaf. "We have to keep vigil tonight, Hollyleaf. Aren't you excited?"
Hollyleaf nods. "Yes! It's getting darker now; do you want to go find Lionblaze so we can start the vigil?"
Cinderheart smiles. "Okay."
Hollyleaf looks back at me. "See you later, Featherpaw!"
"Kay, have a fun night!" I meow.
"Featherpaw, are you still planning to go to ShadowClan with Jaypaw, Hollyleaf and Lionblaze? Because I think it's too late now, the warriors will be starting their vigil." Firestar asks me as he walks out of the medicine cat den.
I shake my head. "No, Firestar. I saw Sol on our territory while I was hunting today, and he promised not to come back."
"Sol was on our territory? What was he doing?" Firestar meows.
"He was about to catch a raven, but I stopped him." I say.
Firestar nods slowly. "Okay. Are you sure he'll keep his promise though?"
"Knowing Sol, he can be pretty unpredictable, but no." I mew.
Firestar dips his head. "Very well." Firestar looks at the apprentices' den. "It's getting dark now. Have a good night,"
I nod and go to the den, my shoulders dropping as I realise Hollypaw and Lionpaw won't be with me. At least I have Foxpaw and Icepaw.
A/n Okay okay, it was a pretty short chapter, I'm sowwy: c I'll make a longer chapter in the future ^. ^ don't worry!
