Here's chapter 2! Sorry it's a bit short. I've got exams coming up so...

A paw poked Shadefrost in the side. "Shadefrost, wake up."

Shadefrost shifted. "No," she mumbled, her voice heavy with sleep. "Let me sleep."

The paw poked harder. "Shadefrost, get up, we're on patrol remember?"

Shadefrost let her eyes open. The den was dark and warm with the scents of many sleeping cats. It was just after sundown and she was due on patrol. "Oh foxdung," she hissed, pushing herself slowly to her paws. She did not want to go on patrol.

Finchwing was standing beside her, her paws scraping the moss impatiently. "Why do you have to be so lazy?" she said, not unkindly. "Our first patrol as warriors and we're going to be late!"

Shadefrost shook the sleep from her head. "Lazy?" she purred. "Now that's a bit harsh. Anyway, it's not me who's the lazy one." She poked Finchwing in the side.

Her sister growled playfully. "Are you saying I'm lazy?" She pushed Shadefrost. "Race you outside!"

Shadefrost leapt towards the entrance of the den, making her way quickly over the sleeping forms. There was a muffled growl as she flicked Shrewfur's ear with a trailing paw, but she was outside before she had to face her ex-mentor's anger. Finchwing followed behind. "You were always faster than me," she mewed.

Shadefrost nodded. "But you're a better tracker."

Finchwing flicked her tail towards the entrance of the camp where a group of cats were sitting, their fur fluffed up against the cold. "Shall we join them?"

Shadefrost nodded and started to pad over to the rest of the patrol.

As she crossed the clearing, she saw Foxwhisker heading for the warrior's den and was reminded of her fears about the tom. She turned to Finchwing. "Wait one second!"

Finchwing looked at her despairingly. "Shadefrost, we're going to be late and..." she started to complain but Shadefrost had already bounded away.

"Foxwhisker!" she called, running over to him.

Foxwhisker looked around and saw her. "Hey," he mewed. "Aren't you on patrol?"

Shadefrost nodded and they touched noses. "Yeah, so I have to make this quick."

Foxwhisker looked her in the eye. "What is it?"
"I just wanted to know what was wrong with you after my vigil," she mewed.

Foxwhisker flinched slightly and his eyes darkened and shifted out of hers. "What do you mean?"

Shadefrost was becoming impatient. "You know what I mean. You were all stiff and tense."

"I just had a bad night's sleep, okay?" he said, his voice irritated.

She shook her head. "You and I both know that there's more behind this."
"Why can't you just accept that I couldn't sleep Shadefrost?" he snapped. "If you'll excuse me, I have to go and catch up on it." He stalked away.

"Foxwhisker!" Shadefrost cried but he did not turn. She watched him until his tail disappeared into the warriors den. There was something not right. Something was troubling Foxwhisker and it had to be something big to make him snap at her like that. Foxwhisker was one of the kindest toms that she knew; he never got angry with any cat. Shaking her head sadly, Shadefrost padded off to join the patrol, thoughts running wildly through her head.

Again sorry it's so short but it's quality not quantity, right? -shifts eyes from side to side-:P The next chapter will be longer. (I hope.)
