I don't think I even need to say it any more but I shall anyways: Thank you all for reading and reviewing. :)
Creekfur- That was actually a mistake. :P It is fixed now. I ment Snowstep.
Bluefeather20- No, Spark is Mossflight's father and Snowstep is Mossflight's mate. So then Snowstep and Mossflight had Patchpaw, Whitepaw, and Featherpaw.
Featherpaw sat still as Redfur took off her cobwebs carefully. It has been five days since she had gotten hurt by Soul. She had mostly stayed in camp and helped around with easier tasks -like cleaning out dens, watching the kits, or helping with sorting herbs -because Redfur said that she can't train yet. Driftpaw still wouldn't talk to anyone and tries to get away from Featherpaw as often he can.
"I think you could go back to training tomorrow." Redfur mewed as he set the cobwebs to the side. "It is looking much better, Featherpaw. You don't need the cob webs anymore."
"Thank you." Featherpaw dipped her head to him and stood up.
"If it starts to hurt again, come back." Redfur mewed.
"I will." Featherpaw promised and then left the medicine cat den. She had not seen how her face looked without the cobwebs since she had gotten hurt because most of the time she had them on.
Featherpaw looked at the sky, it was darkening quickly, turning night. Featherpaw turned and padded over to a puddle. She sat down at the edge and leaned over to see her reflection. What she saw surprised her.
Featherpaw froze, silently staring at what she is now. A few scars ran across her nose and on the side of her right eye was a long pink scar. Her shoulders had patches shorter fur from where the fur was ripped out and it had claw marks scored across them.
Featherpaw shook her head after a long moment. It could be worse... Featherpaw decided. She let out a sigh and took her eyes away from the small puddle.
Featherpaw walked away from it and entered the apprentice den. Smokepaw, Honeypaw, and Whitepaw already layed in there.
"Honeypaw, did you pass your test?" Smokepaw was asking Honeypaw. Both of them where almost ready to become warriors.
"Of course." Honeypaw yawned. "It was too easy." She licked a paw.
"Hey Featherpaw!" Whitepaw purred as Featherpaw layed down in a nest.
"Hi Whitepaw." Featherpaw said to her brother.
"Featherpaw, you should have seen it! Today I went on the dawn hunting patrol and a caught a huge rabbit!" Whitepaw announced proudly, seeming to not even notice that Featherpaw had the cobwebs taken off. "It was my first rabbit."
Featherpaw put her head on her paws and flicked her ear to show that she was listening. Patchpaw then entered the den with Stripepaw and Windpaw behind her.
Stripepaw and Windpaw both flopped down in their nest and said nothing for once, must have been a long day for them. Patchpaw layed down next to Featherpaw.
"Hey, your cobwebs are off!" Patchpaw exclaimed happily. "Does that mean you can train with us again?" She asked excitedly, eyes twinkling.
"Yes." Featherpaw answered simply. She yawned tiredly.
"You look a lot better than you did just five days ago." Patchpaw mewed, sniffing at Featherpaw.
"Thanks." Featherpaw murmured. She added after a few seconds "I'm tired, can I go to sleep?"
"Alright." Patchpaw sighed and layed down.
After a moment of silence Featherpaw fell into a dreamless sleep.
Featherpaw woke in the early morning. Driftpaw was already up and out of the den. That did not surprise Featherpaw one bit.
Featherpaw stood up and gave her pelt a few quick licks. She headed out of the den.
"Oh, Featherpaw, there you are." Seedfur mewed, quickly walking towards her. "I was just about to wake you. Redfur said that you would be okay to train, so I thought you may want to go on a hunting patrol today."
"Yea, I do." Featherpaw nodded. She had wanted to get out of camp for days.
"Great! Come, the patrol is waiting outside of camp." Seedfur turned and ran off, out of camp. Featherpaw purred and followed.
Featherpaw stopped at her mentor's side as they joined the small group of cats. It was Bramblestar, Squirrelflight, and Driftpaw. Driftpaw's gray tabby pelt prickled when he saw her, he quickly looked away.
Featherpaw felt a stab of pain. Why wont you say anything? She almost asked aloud, but held her tongue instead of saying anything.
"Alright, let's go." Bramblestar led the way through the forest and towards the Sky Oak. When they reached it he said "Lets split up."
Featherpaw saw this as an opportunity to talk to Driftpaw alone. "I'll go with Driftpaw." She offered.
"Okay. Seedfur, would you like to come with me and Squirrelflight?" Bramblestar asked the warrior.
"I'll be fine by myself." Seedfur responded.
"Lets meet back here when we all got enough prey." Bramblestar mewed. Seedfur nodded and padded away.
Featherpaw stood and padded along side Driftpaw in the opposite direction. When they where out of hearing range of the others Featherpaw stopped walking. Driftpaw stopped a heart beat later but still did not look at her, his blue eyes focussed straight ahead.
Featherpaw took a breath and then started. "Driftpaw, I'm sorry I was there. I-"
Driftpaw cut her off with a low growl, but he still did not look at her.
"Driftpaw..." Featherpaw sighed. "Why wont you talk to anyone?"
Driftpaw turned to look at her. He stared at her with a cold gaze. "What do you expect me to say? If I do talk all everyone does is ask what happened to you. What do I say about that? That you where spying on me and when you got caught my sister almoust killed you?" He demanded in a quick, furious voice. "That would just get me kicked out, them knowing that I still meet with Soul." He paused "I'm no mouse brain Featherpaw. Why don't you just stop bothering me and just forget about being friends? Obviously you can keep a secret, but if you can't trust me to just leave the camp then I can't trust you with anything."
Featherpaw felt another stab of pain. Sister? So that is who she was. Featherpaw realilized. Featherpaw turned away from him.
Driftpaw must have seen that flash of pain because he automatically put his tail on her shoulder. "Listen Featherpaw... I'm sorry I said that." He whispered.
Featherpaw pushed him away. "Lets just hunt so they don't get worried about us." She said in such an angry voice, she surprised herself. She turned and padded away from him.
I like this chapter, even if it is short. :) Please review.
