Sorry if it is taking a little longer to update. I have been busy with school and I have been getting a little... bored... I may be working on other stories more then this one, but don't worry, this story will still go on.
Thank you for reading. :)
Featherpaw sat alone under the shealter of a tree. Rain softly fell to the ground and the water gently moved against the shore of the lake in front of her. An almoust half moon shone high in the sky with all the stars as she stared out over the lake.
She slowly layed down and tucked her paws under her as she stared across the lake. Around her it was peaceful and quite but in her head it was filled with thoughts and questions that kept coming.
His sister, Soul -that evil and mean cat- was his sister? No wonder he always changed the subject or shuddered when a cat asked him about his past. Living with a cat like that would be horibal! ... But then why would he still go to see her? He honestly couldn't care for that fox-hearted she-cat.
"Featherpaw?" A quite voice called. Featherpaw would that voice anywhere, it was her sister.
Featherpaw slowly turned her head to look at her. She said nothing as Patchpaw layed down at her side.
"Are you okay?" Patchpaw whispered, as if it was too quite to talk normal.
Featherpaw turned to look at the lake again. "Why are you here?" She avoided the question by asking another.
"Because you have been gone all day." Patchpaw answered. The was true, right away after the patrol came back to camp, she set down her prey and left. "Mossflight and Snowstep are worried for you, you know. And I was too."
Featherpaw simply nodded.
"Something is bothering you, what is it?" Featherpaw felt Patchpaw's eyes watching her carefully.
"It's nothing." Featherpaw looked at the ground in front of her. "You don't want to get involved."
"I want to if it is bugging you." Patchpaw replyed. "Are you in trouble?"
Featherpaw shook her head slowly, because she did not even know. Would Soul come for her? Will this lead to problems later?
"Well, will you come back to camp with me?" Patchpaw asked softly.
Featherpaw stood. "Fine." She sighed. Featherpaw followed her sister in the silent forest untill they reached camp.
She let Patchpaw lead the way to the apprentice den. Featherpaw didn't look at any apprentice as she layed down next to Whitepaw.
Featherpaw soon fell into a rough sleep.
Featherpaw woke in the late morning. She was glad to be the only cat still in the den. Featherpaw quickly groomed her fur and then stepped out of the den.
"Featherpaw!" A tom's voice called.
Featherpaw turned to see her brother running over to her. "Hi Whitepaw." She mumbled.
"Have you heard yet?" Whitepaw asked as he reached her, eyes excited and tail lashing.
"Heard what?" Featherpaw asked, not in the mood for her brother's bragging. Half the time he talks it is all about how good he is, but Featherpaw still listened.
"Oh, you haven't?" Whitepaw tipped his head to the side, then shook it. "We have been finding rogue sents over the border. And when the dawn patrol was out they talked to a Shadowclan patrol and apparently they are having the same problem."
Featherpaw felt a flash a fear, but pushed it away. "It could just be a loner or a curious Kittypet, right?" She was half trying to calm herself by saying that, and half saying it to her brother.
"No. I don't think so." Whitepaw mewed. "The patrol said that they smelled at least three or four different cats." He went on quickly "If I find one of those cats, I will rip them to shreds! I learned this awesome battle move yesterday, and I would use it on them. Want to see it?" His eyes sparkled excitedly at the end.
"No... Not now Whitepaw." Featherpaw mewed, knowing that is she would say yes then he would just show her more and more.
"Oh okay. Later then?" Whitepaw asked.
"Yea, sure." Featherpaw agreed then changed the subject. "Have you seen Seedfur?"
"Seedfur..." Whitepaw whispered softly, turning in a circle to scan the camp. "Over there!" He nodded in the direction of thr medicine cat den.
"What is she doing over there?" Featherpaw asked, seeing Seedfur exit the medicine cat den. Whitepaw just shrugged.
"Well, see you later Whitepaw." Featherpaw murmured and then walked over to Seedfur.
"Hey Featherpaw." Seedfur greeted chearfully.
"Hi Seedfur." Featherpaw said to her mentor. "Why are you so happy today?" She smiled slightly as she saw her mentor, eyes bright and tail twitching happily.
"I'm going to be having Molepelt's kits!" Seedfur purred then her voice dropped down lowed. "But don't tell Molepelt okay? I don't want him to know yet."
"Okay." Featherpaw agreed. She started to wonder who her new mentor would be once Seedfur is in the nursery. "How long until you move to the nursery?"
Seedfur shrugged, "A while, I know that. A moon or two?" She guessed.
"So what are we doing today?" Featherpaw changed the subject.
"Fighting." Seedfur answered. "Come on, lets go." She led the way out of camp.
Sorry for the short chapter, and sorry if it is boring. It should start speeding up soon.
