CHAPTER 7
Swirlpaw POV
As we walked out of camp my heart crumbled into a million pieces, but I was with shadowclan now I couldn't be weak.
I did my best to do that face Pepperpaw was so good at.
It showed almost no emotion.
She wore that face all the time but I could never perfect it.
Blackstar had gotten ahead so Tawnypelt leaned over toward me.
"I know how you feel." She said
"How is that?" I tried to say it angrily but it came out like a sob.
"Well, Bramblestar is my brother." She said.
I just stared waiting for an explanation.
"When we were apprentices our father Tigerstar was leader of shadowclan he wanted me to join him so I did. I don't regret my decision and try to be the best shadowclan warrior I can be.
But at first I was devastated and cried when no one was around. " She finished.
I didn't reply and just walked. It was weird I had known that she was Bramblestar's sister but I thought she just didn't like Thunderclan.
We soon arrived at the camp and I was amazed. It was similar to ours but it wasn't surrounded by rocks. There were low hanging branches from the pine trees and it was quite open and void of shadows and darkness like Greystripe's story's. Although he did always exaggerate, a LOT.
We entered camp and a she cat apprentice walked up to Tawnypelt.
"Hi mother." She said happily
"Hello berrypaw, this is Swirlpaw she will be staying with us for a while as you know."
"Swirlpaw this is one of my daughters, berrypaw. "
"Hello." I said
"Hi I can show you the apprentice den." She suggested. "I'm littlecloud's apprentice." She added
"Cool." I said. Smiling a little at her obvious enthusiasm.
She seemed genuinely nice so I decided if I was to trust anyone it would be her.
She got some moss and soft leaves and helped me make a nest in their apprentice den. Tawnypelt had given me today off from training to get to know the others.
I soon learned that berrypaw and her sister Blackpaw were Tawnypelt and Rowanclaw's second litter. And that Blackpaw had a crush on Stormpaw but wasn't sure what he thought. That remark earned an embaressed look from Blackpaw and she soon exited the den.
"So what's your family like?" She asked.
"Well I have four sisters and my mother is Daisy." I said proudly, daring her to mock our mother.
Cool, who's your father? She asked.
Its Spiderleg. I said
She changed the subject.
"So why don't we go see the kits?"
"Alright!" I said
I missed BEING a kit I should have just waited but now we were forced to be apprentices.
We walked out of the den but Blackstar jumped up onto a branch and called a meeting.
"Let all those old enough to hunt in darkness gather beneath the low branch for a clan meeting." He yowled
We joined the clan in front of the tree as he began.
"Today was a victory!" He yowled
The clan cheered but quieted when he flicked his tail.
"Swirlpaw step forward. Today you will become a shadowclan apprentice until the day you choose. Should you choose to stay you will be greatly honored in the clan and accepted with open paws." He looked at me strangely while the clan cheered my name. Then he looked away.
"We have other news as well.
Ivytail stepped forward." I wondered what was going on.
"I am expecting Tigerheart's kits and will be moving into the nursery." She said happily looking at a brown tabby Tom that must be Tigerheart. He looked proud and just as happy.
Berrypaw turned to me.
"I looked at her this morning." She said. "It's amazing that she hid it so well, she's due in a quarter moon or so!"
"Aww I wonder what they will look like." I said
She then continued to talk but I didn't listen.
Maybe I could be happy here.
I thought.
Willowpaw POV
I had a new appreciation for Riverclan. Their territory was beautiful in a different way than thunderclan. There were willows and still plenty of other trees to help me feel at home, and most of all they have many streams to drink out of. It's no wonder why they are usually the biggest clan, they have tons of fish and other territory that they don't even use unless their out of fish or something.
That being said I still hate this! It's not fair, not only do they split us up, they send us to enemy clans! What happens if we go back, then have to fight against our friends?! Or stay and fight against our family!
I Hate this and... What was that?
"Willowpaw." A voice whispered
"Who are you?" I asked
"It's me Blackpaw." He whispered.
"We need to be quiet."
Blackpaw? I wondered what this was about.
And then he added, "meet me here tonight."
And was gone.
well ok, I thought.
"Aren't you coming?" Asked Mistystar looking amused. I wondered why but I looked in a puddle and realized I looked like I was nooning over a tree! She continued on and I followed.
I do NOT like Blackpaw. He's arrogant, and short tempered, and kinda cute... WHAT!
But before I could think more about it, I ran into a tree.
Mistystar burst out laughing and my pelt burned with embarrassment.
"It's not my fault!" I yelled
But she just laughed harder.
I sat and waited for her to stop.
"I'm sorry Willowpaw." She said. "But it was pretty funny you didn't even see it."
She composed herself and bid me follow her across one more larger stream and we soon entered the camp.
As soon as we were in the clearing Mistystar ran up
And called a clan meeting.
"Let all those old enough to swim gather here for a clan meeting!" She yowled
"Young Willowpaw will train here for two moons and on that day she will choose where she wishes to stay. "
The clan cheered and after that, a few apprentices walked up to me.
"Hey I'm Mistpaw!" Said a she cat.
"This is my friend Sunpaw." She added
Hey. Was all I said
"Come on don't be like that." She said.
" Why don't we help you build a nest in the apprentice den."
"Alright, I agreed. I was pretty tired after today."
We went toward their medicine den and got some reeds and leaves to make a nest.
"Why do you use reeds? I asked
Aren't they uncomfortable?"
"No not really but we've grown up using them." Said sunpaw
"And the leaves and moss help soften it." Mistpaw added
"And the only reason we use them in the first place is because they float if the camp ever floods." Said willowshine, the medicine cat apprentice.
Mistpaw turned around quickly.
"Oh, I didn't see you there!"
We all laughed and go to make a nest.
I still miss home.
