Thanks again for reading. :) Please start sending in more reviews. I have only gotten one on the each of the last three chapters, tell me what you think!
Featherpaw woke in her nest, screaming. The image of the black she-cat with those hatred filled blue eyes still too fresh in her memory. Her eyes may be open, seeing the darkness of the den but they also saw the she-cat, standing there staring at her.
"Featherpaw! Featherpaw!" A voice, worried filled, yelled next to her. Patchpaw.
Featherpaw stopped instantly, but her eyes where still wide and scared. She looked at Patchpaw in the nest next to her.
"F-Featherpaw? You okay?" Patchpaw asked again from next to her. Patchpaw stood now out of the nest, fur fluffed up.
Featherpaw suddenly felt a wave of embarrassment. "Yea." She looked down at her paws. "It was just a bad dream." She mumbled.
"A bad dream? Again?" Whitepaw asked from not too far away.
"Is everything okay in here?" A voice sounded in the entrance of the den, behind Featherpaw. It was Bramblestar by the sound of it.
"Yes Bramblestar." Driftpaw spoke this time. "We are okay. It was just a bad dream."
Featherpaw turned in time to see him sweep the den with his amber gaze, letting his eyes fall on each apprentice and then turn to leave without another word.
"I think you woke the camp if you even woke Bramblestar." Stripepaw spoke from the side of the den. Featherpaw flattened her ears to her head.
"I bet Berrynose slept through it." Smokepaw snorted.
"You bet what?" Windpaw mewed, obviously up to a challenge.
"Fine, if I win you have to be my servant for two days. Same goes for me if you win. Okay?" Smokepaw suggested.
"Agreed." Windpaw confirmed with a short nodd of his head.
"Oh I can't see how this is going to turn out." Honeypaw rolled her eyes and then set her head on her paws. Stripepaw murmured agreement.
Soon every other apprentice followed, then started drifting back into sleep.
"Hey Driftpaw?" Featherpaw whispered into the silence, still awake.
"Yea?" Driftpaw answered, only half awake by the sound of it.
"Do you know any small black she-cat with blue eyes?" Featherpaw asked. She knew it sounded weird and sudden but it kept running through her head. She asked him what's happening, a loud voice, Driftpaw dead, the she-cat, Featherpaw soon following him in Starclan. It just replayed in her mind.
"No." Driftpaw answered a little too firmly. He put his paws over his head. "Just go to sleep." He said.
"I don't think I ever can." Featherpaw replied softly after a few seconds of silence.
Driftpaw did not say anything back and the silence went on.
Featherpaw tossed and turned in her mossy nest that some how did not feel comfortable, it felt like stone now. But some how, after what felt like moons, a deep dreamless sleep fell over her.
Featherpaw woke early in the morning. The sun was barely up by the looks of the light coming in the entrance of the den. Featherpaw stood and stretched. She padded out of the den, making sure she did not step on any of the paws or tails of her denmates, and then headed for the fresh-kill pile. There where only a few cats up and around at the time.
When she chose a vole from the pile and settled down to eat she let her mind slip away into her swirling thoughts of the night before.
The image of the she-cat made her shudder. Why can't she get that cat out of her head? Did Driftpaw tell the truth, it seemed like he lied... But could he know her? It the dream he did. The cat had called Driftpaw a traitor...
Suddenly a voice broke into her thoughts. "Featherpaw! You wake?"
Featherpaw shook her head and looked up at the cat who was talking to her. Spark, her father.
"Yea. Sorry." She gave her shoulder an embarrassed lick.
"Finish up your prey, we are going on the dawn patrol." Spark sat down next to her. "We are going to patrol the Windclan border. They have been patrolling that one a lot lately and Bramblestar wants the clan to make sure no battles will happen soon." He explained to her.
Featherpaw quickly finished her half eaten vole and then stood up. "Okay, lets go." She mewed.
Spark and Featherpaw joined a group with two other cats then they left to patrol.
