"Mintpaw?"

"Greysight!" a weak voice meowed excitedly from the back of the medicine cat den. Greysight smiled in relief and padded to the nest in the back reserved for patients.

Mintpaw had immediately brightened up at the sight of her big sister. Greysight was able to let out a small breath, she appeared to be alright.

"Hey, how you doing? You feel ok?" Greysight asked in concern.

Mintpaw shook her head, bright eyes shining. "I feel fine. My head hurts a little bit, but I'm okay!"

Greysight nodded and sat beside Mintpaw's nest, her body becoming suddenly tense. Mintpaw blinked in surprise as Greysight dug her claws into the ground.

"What did she do to you?" Greysight growled.

"What?"

Greysight stomped her paw onto the ground, "The rogue!"

Mintpaw's eyes fell and she looked down at her brown paws. "Oh, that..."

Greysight immediately relaxed, fearing she had hurt Mintpaw in some way. "It's ok. I made sure she didn't hurt you, we're keeping her prisoner in camp now."

Mintpaw nodded silently. "Roseclaw told me." she mewed in a quiet voice.

Greysight scoffed. "I don't know what Sunstar is thinking. How could he allow someone who hurt you into our camp?!" Greysight hissed.

Mintpaw's eyes widened and she immediately looked up in surprise. "What?"

"I know! She's not safe-"

"No, before that."

Greysight listened curiously, "What are you talking about?"

Mintpaw stood up and shook her head.

"She never attacked me!"

Greysight's eyes widened in surprise and she opened her mouth to question her sister, but the young apprentice continued on.

"I was looking for my herbs and I ran into her." Mintpaw shuffled her paws and looked down in shame.

" I was so scared I passed out..."

Greysight blinked and stood quietly in the medicine cat den. Now that she thought about it, Mintpaw didn't have any injuries and Moonpaw had seemed surprised when they showed up. She knew Mintpaw wouldn't lie to her. Had they wrongfully attacked and imprisoned Moonpaw?

The very thought left Greysight feeling oddly guilty. She forced a fake smile and faced Mintpaw.

"You should rest, I'll come and see you later, ok?"

Mintpaw let out a small nod. "Ok.." she mewed.

Greysight left the den with a small feeling nagging at her chest, she needed to talk to Moonpaw. One she was in the clearing she let the surrounding scents envelop her and followed Moonpaw's scent to where the she-cat was lying in the clearing a few tail-lengths feet away from Darkpelt. Greysight figured he was keeping watch on her.

She could feel Moonpaw turn towards her at her approach, Greysight was sure that if she could see she would've seen Moonpaw harsh eyes glaring at her.

"What do you want?" the she-cat growled rudely.

Yep, definitely glaring.

"I want to talk to you."

Moonpaw sniffed disdainfully and turned away from Greysight.

"I have nothing to say to you."'

Greysight sighed in irritation, "Yeah, well I do."

Moonpaw's eyes narrowed at the blind she-cat, but she remained quiet nonetheless.

Greysight took a small breath and lashed her tail. "Mintpaw, my little sister, the cat you attacked, she told me something and I need to hear it from you."

Moonpaw's tail twitched in irritation, "What?" she snapped.

"She told me you never attacked her."

Greysight listened to Moonpaw closely as her words left her mouth. The she-cat appeared to be taken aback for a few seconds, but quickly regained her senses and narrowed her eyes.

"So what if I didn't? You were the ones who had to come and stick your noses into my business!"

Greysight couldn't believe it, they had wrongfully imprisoned her...she had been wrong. The thought left a bitter taste in her mouth.

"Why didn't you say anything?" Greysight asked quietly. "Did you want us to think you attacked her?"

"Like you would have believed me! I'm just a filthy rogue remember, what I do and why I do it is none of your business."

Greysight remained quiet as she listened to Moonpaw's biting reply. She was hiding something and Greysight knew it.

"What are you doing here?" Greysight asked suddenly voice full of quiet curiosity.

She was surprised when Moonpaw leapt to her paws, ears back and voice full of venom.

"Leave. Me. Alone!" she hissed and stalked away.

Greysight didn't even blink at the she-cat's threat and calmly listened as she stomped away. Moonpaw was a very touchy cat, certain subjects seemed to set her off, only increasing Greysight's curiosity.

Still, they had wrongfully imprisoned her.

'I need to talk to Lostheart.'

After searching around camp for a while, Greysight figured Lostheart had gone out. None of the other cats had been particularly helpful either.

It wasn't a problem though, Greysight knew it wouldn't be hard for her to find the quiet she-cat. Her abilities made her an expert at tracking and hunting.

Lostheart's scent was faint, but Greysight was able to follow it through the forest and into the fields. Lostheart was probably out hunting.

She soon caught a slight tremor in the earth, the approach of distant pawsteps. Judging by the pace and weight of the cat, Greysight could tell she had finally found the deputy.

She ran, following the vibrations and skidded to a halt in front of her target.

Lostheart was mildly surprised to Greysight, but revealed nothing in her composure. Greysight had obviously been looking for her.

"Why were you looking for me?" she asked.

Greysight's face suddenly became serious.

"I went to check on Mintpaw, and I learned some disturbing news. She told me Moonpaw never attacked her." Greysight meowed, voice laced with concern.

"I know."

Greysight blinked at the reply, had she heard right?

Lostheart was unperturbed by Greysight's surprise and continued on. "It was clear to me when we found her. The look of surprise on her face and the fact that Mintpaw lay unharmed only supported my theory and now it appears to be the truth after all."

Greysight berated herself for forgetting how observant Lostheart was, of course she would know.

"But is it really right to keep her here?" Greysight questioned.

The tall golden stems of the grasses around them swayed lightly in the wind creating an almost peaceful environment.

"She may not have attacked Mintpaw, but she still trespassed onto our territory intent on stealing prey."

Greysight nodded, she supposed Lostheart was right. After a few moments she suddenly realized Lostheart didn't have any prey.

"What are you doing out here anyway?" Greysight asked curiously.

"Nothing." Lostheart replied.

Greysight shrugged, accepting the answer. "We should get back to camp."

Moonpaw was lying alone in the warriors den, content in being away from the DarkClan cats, although she knew Darkpelt was prowling around the den somewhere.

She looked down at her silver paws and frowned. They didn't understand.

Admittedly, it wasn't so bad here. The dens were warm and they didn't mind sharing their food with her. Some of the cats were pretty hostile to her, but a few didn't seem to mind.

Moonpaw blinked, realizing what she had just thought and shook her head.

'I can't stay here.'

Sighing in irritation, Moonpaw stood up and stretched her long legs. At least while she was here she was able to clean herself up. Her once dull and matted fur was now looking as clean and healthy as ever.

She padded out of the den keeping her head down, her ear twitched and she turned towards the camp entrance to see Lostheart and Greysight returning.

Her eyes naturally drifted to the gleam of red from the deputy's eye. She had never seen a cat like her before, someone like her. Moonpaw was wary of her, she was a very mysterious cat, keeping mostly to herself.

Her eyes naturally narrowed as she looked at the blind cat beside her. Greysight seemed to resent her very being, it was obvious she didn't like her.

Her eyes danced around the camp taking in all the dens and cats surrounding them. It was odd, how they took her in so easily.
