Ch. 6- Wondering and Finding out:
Sorry I haven't updated in a super long time. I'm getting a lot of Reviews and have been super busy. So PLEASE review! Disclaimer- I do NOT own Warriors! I hope you enjoy this chapter!
A few moons had past since the gathering. Cloverpaw was doing well, learning herbs, memorizing where they were found. But as she worked she noticed Flamepaw, who would leave by himself every few days, just before sunhigh and came back with prey but Cloverpaw suspected he wasn't just hunting each time he went out.
One brisk leaf-fall morning, close to Sunhigh, Cloverpaw felt Dawnstripe prod her in the side
" I'm up," grumbled Cloverpaw who then sat up and stretched.
" I need you to look for burdock root and marigold, lazy bones!" Dawnstripe explained and added " I need to help Fawnspring with her aching joints" Cloverpaw nodded and meowed " It's a good test too!" Dawnstripe grinned, nodded and turned away.
Cloverpaw padded to the camp entrance, Flamepaw trotted up beside her and flicked his tail then ran off
' Humm?' Thought Cloverpaw ' Maybe I could follow him and see where he's been going all these moons' then murmured, " I hope he doesn't catch me!" To quietly for any cat to hear. Cloverpaw shrugged and padded on, following Flamepaw's sent.
Cloverpaw followed Flamepaw's sent for a while, stopping only once to pick some burdock roots. All of a sudden Cloverpaw heard the rushing water of a river and realized where Flamepaw was going " RiverClan!" she spat quietly.
Flamepaw spun around and looked into the trees, Cloverpaw froze. Flamepaw shrugged and disappeared down the slope leading to Stepping Stones ' What is he doing here?' Cloverpaw thought to herself as she quietly followed Flamepaw. Cloverpaw spotted Flamepaw standing by the Stepping Stones, looking tense. Cloverpaw spotted a bush and buried herself in it so she wouldn't be seen but could watch Flamepaw.
Shortly later Cloverpaw saw a small cat appear cautiously and approach the Stepping Stones, she smelt distinctively of RiverClan. ' What is Flamepaw doing with a RiverClan apprentice?' Was the only thing Cloverpaw could think to herself as she watched the she-cat about her size approach Flamepaw. Flamepaw came up to her and nuzzled her. ' What... Is... Going... On!' Cloverpaw though, flabbergasted and staring wide eyes at the two lovestruck cats. Flamepaw looked around wearily
" I have to go now" he meowed and licked her cheek
"Good bye Flamepaw" she replied and licked Flamepaw on the cheek.
" Bye Dewpaw!" He exclaimed as he dashed off.
" Dewpaw..." Cloverpaw murmured, very quietly. Dewpaw looked around quickly and dashed off. Cloverpaw stood there for a few moments then thought to herself 'Now I know what he's been doing these past moons!' An she murmured " I better go get some marigold or Dawnstripe will start asking questions" Cloverpaw sighed to herself and trotted off, almost forgetting the burdock roots she had collected.
I hope you enjoyed it! Sorry it's kinda short. I will be posting a new chapter every few weeks. I might take a bit of time writing a new story… we'll see. Anyways... PLEASE REVIEW!
