His point of view
"You can do better!"
I growled at the words my dad yelled at me as I ran ahead of him, my lungs about to burst. I bunched my hind legs and ran faster. I thought about everything…everything but her. How her felt ruffled in the cool breeze, her soft purr when she—ouch.
"Get up!" he yelled and jumped back up. I'd bumped into a tree. Actually, that's been happening a lot lately. That night…it was the best night of my life.
"I said get up!"
I shook my fur. She occupied my thoughts, day and night. Just all her. I wonder if…I wonder if she does that? Think of me all day? I shook my fur again and got ready to run. No, probably not.
When I blinked, all I could see was her big, green eyes. And when she looked at me, I could see it reflecting in there; a green river flow.
But, I had to keep an eye on my brother. I will not let him have leadership.
I ran faster until my dad was about 5 trees behind me. I will one day be a –star. Not him.
Waterpaw's point of view
"Waterpaw? Waterpaw? WATERPAW!"
I snapped out of my daze and looked around confused. I found Firepaw staring angrily my way.
"What?" I was annoyed. That was the second time a cat had to snap me out of my day dream. Of course, of Shadowpaw.
"Shinningstar is looking for you," he said a little softly. I sighed. I couldn't get mad when he said it like that, "Are you okay?"
I nodded and rolled my eyes, "I'm fine. Just tired."
He held my gaze for a moment, then nodded, "Get some rest then." He left.
I was confused. Again. He looked like he wanted to ask me something. I shook my head. Probably just my imagination, I thought as I entered Shinningstar's den. She was waiting for me. When I entered, she did something she never did.
"Waterpaw," she said it like it was such a delicate word. She nuzzled my shoulder and turned back to look at me. Her eyes narrowed, "You don't smell like yourself."
"I almost ran into ThunderClan territory when I was running with Firepaw," I shrugged although my heart was beating that she'd noticed.
Her eyes softened. I always felt small and less compared to my sister. She was older, prettier, and her eyes were pretty amber. No one could look away from them. But last night when Shadowpaw told me my eyes were beautiful…I just didn't feel that way anymore.
"Waterpaw?" her voice snapped me back to life. She looked cheerful and happy now, "You know you can tell me anything right? I mean, I'm the leader but I'll never stop being your sister. Anytime you feel like you want to share something, don't forget to."
It was hard to believe this was the brave and confident cat that stood on top of the bouler proudly and shut all the cats up with one word. Now she looked like an excited kit who could barely contain their excitement. My heart leaped to my throat when something sunk in: Maybe she knows about Shadowpaw!
I kept my voice cool and managed to even sneak an amused tone as I replied, "Shinningstar, what are you talking about. Nothing has happened."
"Is it Firepaw?"
She wasn't listening, "What?" What was she talking about? Did she know about Shadowpaw or not?
Shinningstar rolled her eyes, "Waterpaw, since this morning, you would go into a daze with moony eyes and gotten distracted," her eyes shadowed as she said, "That's how mom was when she talked about dad."
There was a pause, but I managed to swallow the bale in my mouth and said, "So what about Firepaw? What does he have to do with this?"
Shinnigstar sighed in frustration, "Honestly, it's hard to believe we're related," she shook her head and went paced in front of me, as if planning how she could get information out of me.
I purred, "Shinningstar, just spit it out."
She smirked, "How dare you talk to your leader that way?"
I rolled my eyes I patted her head. I had to lean up to do that, "I dare because she's my sister."
She stared at each other for a long time until she smiled wistfully, "You look like her a lot. Green eyes, mischievous expression…sometimes I just want to call you mom."
I purred and nuzzled her shoulder like she did to me, "Last time I checked, you were the older one."
She barked a laugh, "So older siblings have to be tough no matter what?"
Before I could reply, Liontail came in and hesitated. It was rare to see both of us in the same room. He smiled. I wanted to growl. After Shinningstar became leader, we've grown apart. Everyone noticed.
"I've gathered everyone. Spiderfur and Dewpelt will go to Shadowclan, Runninglegs and Icefur are going to Windclan, and—"
Shinningstar was back to leader mode and shook her head, "These are all warriors. I want this to be a chance the apprentices to look into other territoris and see the difference between different cats from different clans. It'll enlighten their skills further."
Liontail nodded understandingly and said, "Okay, Dewpelt will take his apprentice and Runninglegs will take his. I'll take Waterpaw."
I nodded and turned as we left the den and saw Shinningstar watching me, like she was proud. I turned back around and hurried out behind Liontail. I must've been very slow in understanding things because I just now realized that every other clan was taken by the others except Thunderclan.
The entire walk to Thunderclan, I had a hard time containing my excitement. I got to see Halfpaw…and Shadowpaw in the daylight for once.
Liontail purred a flickered his tail over my ear, "Isn't someone a little happy today."
I grinned at him and nodded, "I beat Firepaw."
"For once," Liontail joked a nudged me a little as we waited by the Thunderclan border.
I glared at him playfully and got ready to say something. But I reached out and flatted a piece of fur that had come out and had been bugging me for a long time. Of course, right when that happened, the patrol came and just so happened to include Halfpaw. His gaze flickered to Liontail and his stance hardened. I pulled my paw away, a little self-conscious now.
"Liontail," Oakpelt spoke in a moderate tone. I was a little surprised since he'd been very friendly at the gathering. I guess gathering's are different.
"Oakpelt," Liontail nodded in his direction and spoke "We have news for Tallistar."
Oakpelt held our gaze for a long time. I made sure not to blink and keep my eyes narrowed as he stared at me. Shinningstar had told me once this is how we knew someone was lying.
Finally, Oakpelt nodded, "Come with us."
He brought Halfpaw and some other cat with white fur with us and told the others to keep on patrolling the border. Liontail and I hung back as we all walked into Thunderclan territory.
"What news?" I whispred to Liontail.
"You couldn't have asked this before we entered their territory?" Liontail answered my question with a question. I looked up a little annoyed and found my eyes meeting with Halfpaw His curiosity shown like diamonds in the sky as his whiskers wiggled.
A/N: Sorry, I just couldn't help it! *We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky! Let's shine bright, tonight, you and I! We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky :)
When we entered the clearing, I was a little surprised by the sight. Maybe it was everyone's break time because from what I saw, it looked like the whole clan was outside, everyone with a job. All the apprentices seemed to be relaxing except for of course Halfpaw who was patrolling and Shadowpaw who seemed to be helping a mentor teach some moves to another apprentice. So this was what they meant. Instead of relaxing like the other apprentices, they instead work harder, trying to be the best. I caught Shadowpaw's eyes and felt myself suddenly happier. His tail swiped to the side and it made me smile even wider. He acknowledged me even though he's supposed to pretend he doesn't know me!
Halfpaw bumped into me and pointed his tail over to Liontail who was waiting for me, "Who's that?"
"My mentor," I left. Talking to Halfpaw felt different than talking to Shadowpaw. I didn't know why. When I talked to Halfpaw, it was a happy feeling deep inside me. I guess it was because he looked like Shadowpaw so he almost had the same effects.
I stayed out of the den but heard Liontail, "Last night's events were false. There is nothing that is a threat to the clan. Mistpaw got into a tense argument with the kittypet and got hurt…"
That was all I needed to hear from him. I sat down and looked around. I felt tiny padding on my paws and looked down to see a she-kit.
She purred brvely in front of me, "I'm not scared of you!"
I laughed and purred back, "Aren't you one brave kitten?"
She stared t me wide eyed for a second then ran back to her kit-friends who were waiting franticly. I heard her say, "She said I was brave!"
The other's squeaked in delight and I saw the same kit run to Shadowpaw who was watching the apprentice intently. He looked at her amused as she recited what I told her. He purred something back to her and her eyes sparkled as she practically squealed running back to me.
"Halfpaw said to tell you are sooooooooooooooo beautiful!" she was looking at me expectantly. I stared at her wide eyed. When I turned to Shadowpaw, his eyes were on the apprentice again, but he was smiling from what he just told the kit. I don't know why but my eyes glanced at Halfpaw. He nodded my way and turned around to help the medicine cat. He too was smiling just a little.
I looked back at the kit confused, "Which one is Halfpaw?" something funny was going on. Halfpaw had a half crest on the left side of his face. Today, he didn't. I thought Halfpaw was the one who walked me to the clearing and was helping the medicine cat but his moves were so much like Shadowpaw's.
The kit purred and she pointed to the brother was help the apprentice, "That's Halfpaw. Halfpaw is awesome! And Shadowpaw too!" she pointed her tail to the one helping the medicine cat, the one that walked me in. But he was acting so much like Halfpaw! But he didn't have the crest! But neither did the one helping the apprentice.
Who was who?!
"Time to go," Liontail urged me towards the forest again.
"We'll escort you out," Oakpelt said with a blunt tone. He motioned to Shadowpaw, or Halfpaw…the one helping the apprentice. Halfpaw or Shadowpaw helping the apprentice ran up and nodded, slowing his pace so we could talk. I think this was Shadowpaw. But now, I just wasn't sure.
"Hey," he said.
I glared at him, "Who are you, Halfpaw or Shadowpaw?"
He looked a little shocked, then he turned away, "Shadowpaw, of course."
"Oh, well the kit said you were Halfpaw and you happened to think I was beautiful," I said and added, "Thank you by the way."
He nodded curtly and looked the other way, "No, she gets mixed up. I'm Shadowpaw," he looked at me and smiled. I had a problem believing him.
"Why doesn't Halfpaw have the crest?" I asked still distracted.
"Why don't you ask him that tonight?"
I stared at Shadowpaw. This was confusing, but I guess I had to believe him, "Okay," I smiled slightly.
He grinned and was about to purr until he realized Liontail was waiting for me.
"Who's that?" Shadowpaw narrowed his eyes as he whispered.
"My mentor," I rolled my eyes but still smiled that he wanted to know. He nodded as I walked toward Liontail.
"Relax," I whispered to Liontail, "He wanted to know if we found Mistpaw."
"Looked to me like it was about something else," he watched me carefull, "You've been awfully distracted today. I wonder why."
I panicked but on the outside, I narrowed my eyes into small slits and said, "What do you mean?"
He watched me and purred a little, "You're like your Shinningstar sometimes."
I knew our argument was over, "Whatever you say, mighty Liontail." I felt Shadowpaw's eyes on us as we left.
His point of view
She almost figured out our secret. My brother almost messed it all up. So we needed to be careful. I told him we needed to come clean to her, but he wanted to keep it up for a little longer. I didn't like lying to Waterpaw, but she knew something was going was going on. But like the she-cat she was, she trusted us too much. Maybe being with Waterpaw was a bad thing. I haven't been able to concentrate ever since I met her. My brother was getting ahead like everyone expected. I had to prove them wrong. By the time I knew it, it had come to one decision.
"Waterpaw, or my pride?" I questioned. My brother turned around and met my eyes. He knew too. Something flickered in his eyes and he turned back around
Okay if you didn't get the who's who part, here's a summary: Waterpaw *thought* Halfpaw walked her and Liontail into ThunderClan. But the ThunderClan kit said that was Shadowpaw who walked her in! She questions the one she really belives is Shadowpaw (who didn't walk her in) and he says the kit is just confused. So, Waterpaw now believes there is NO MISUNNDERSTANDING! She got everything right: Halfpaw walked her in, Shadowpaw walked her out.
If that was confusing, I promise it will ALL be explained in the next Chapter way much better than it was in here. Remember, I wrote this in about 20 minutes which is nearly impossible!
