Chapter 15
Nightpaw POV
Jayfeather has gotten over the general shock of having an apprentice and is back to his normal grumpy self. I swear sometimes he is worse than the elders.
But although he is grumpy, he is never unkind.
To me at least.
It's been four days since my sisters left and three since Blossomfall's kits arrived. Jayfeather has been keeping me busy learning herbs. Which is much harder than I thought it would be. Not only do I learn the herbs, I learn things like, I can cure a belly ache best if I use, juniper, watermint, or Chervil. All of the herbs have more than one purpose. I now understand why medicine cat training takes longer than becoming a warrior.
My thoughts are interrupted when Brairlight drags her way over to where I'm sorting the herbs.
"Can I help?" She asks hopefully.
"Of course!" I reply, "You know the herbs a lot better than I do."
I think since I've become an apprentice, she feels as if she has nothing to do for the clan.
we begin sorting the herbs together as Jayfeather walks in. He looks at the two of us as if he wants to tell Briarlight to stop helping, but I suppose he thinks better of it.
"I expected you'd be done with that by now," he says "what have you been doing this whole time?"
I look down at the pile of herbs I've been working on. All I have left is a few borage leaves to separate. I quickly push the dead, wilted leaves into a pile and put the others away.
"See, all done." I reply
He twitches his whiskers in what I can only suspect is amusement, and tells me to go get some prey.
As I pad from the den, I see Glitterpaw and Goldenpaw pad into camp with their mentors, both holding prey. I watch them as they laugh and talk while taking prey to the nursery and the elders den.
I jump when I here a voice
"It seems as if they are pretty good friends doesn't it?"
I turn and see Cloverpaw, Goldenpaw's only sister.
"Oh you scared me." I meow "and yes they seem to get on quite well."
She smiles. "So I never got to really know you when you were a kit because I had just become an apprentice, and for the longest time there haven't been any she cats my age." She stops looking embarrassed. So I finish for her.
"You've never had a friend other than your brothers, and you want to be friends?" I ask, smiling
"Yes!" she says looking relived "Well, if that's ok with you," she asks quickly.
"Of course." I reply "So do you want to share this? I ask, pointing my tail towards a sparrow on the freshkill pile.
"Why don't we take it to the queens instead." She suggests "they haven't eaten yet."
I nod and pick up the sparrow. When we arrive at the entrance, Coralkit rushes over to have a look at the sparrow, and is stopped by Cloverpaw's paw.
"Calm down little one." She meows in amusement "you'll get some too, just wait."
"Oh hello Nightpaw, Cloverpaw," says my mother as she goes to wake Ivypool and Blossomfall, who wake and greet us.
We turn to leave but I stop and whirl around at the sound of my mother coughing.
"Daisy, are you coughing?" I ask accusingly
"I'm sure it was just a feather, or, COUGH, something." She meows
I look at her for a moment before turning to the other queens. "Has she been coughing at all today?"
The all nod.
"Mother your coming with me to the medicine den." I say, not giving her an option. She follows, and Cloverpaw falls into step beside me.
