Chapter 4-Salmonpaw

Treepaw grunted as she slowly woke up. She was cuddled next to Salmonpaw, who was warmer then she expected. "Morning." she yawned, squrming away from him. He groaned, trying to fall back asleep. "C'mon!" said Flowerpaw, shaking the new apprentice. "C'mon, Salmonpaw." meowed Minnowtail, walking into the apprentice den. "Fine. I'm awaaaaaake..." murmured Salmonpaw as he shoved Flowerpaw aside. "Hey! Why didn't you shove Treepaw away!" hissed Flowerpaw, glaring at Salmonpaw. "Just.. because." mewed Salmonpaw, blushing. "Treepaw, I'm your mentor today too. Grasspelt is sick." said Minnowtail, then she walked outside. "Let's go." said Salmonpaw, walking out behind her. "Wait for me!" purred Treepaw, bolting out of the den. Troutpaw sighed. "What's wrong?" asked Flowerpaw, walking towrds the other apprentice. "Oh.. I... can you keep a secret?"Troutpaw replied, looking up at Flowerpaw with big eyes. "Of course I can!" exclaimed Flowerpaw, edgeing closer. "I... I have a crush on Salmonpaw. But he does't notice me." whimpered Troutpaw, slumping her shoulders. "Oh, well, you're not going to have luck with that." said Flowerpaw, licking her leg. "Why not?" asked Troutpaw, slinting her eyes. "Because him and Treepaw are... meant for for eachother." purred Flowerpaw "just watch them. You can tell." "I guess so..." Troutpaw moped. "Hey, Troutpaw, if I tell you something, will you not tell anyone?" asked Flowerpaw, nuzzling her friend. "Um.. yeah, okay." Troutpaw mewed. "Hollowpaw has a crush on you." Flowerpaw whispered into Troutpaw's ear. "Um.. yeah, I guess I have a crush on him too.." Troutpaw purred, but when she looked back up, Flowerpaw was gone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You scare the deer that way. When it comes over my way, I'll pounce on it." whispered Salmonpaw, staring at the lone buck. "okay." Treepaw replied, silently moving through the bushes. Salmonpaw crouched down with his muscles tensed, ready to pounce at any time. Suddenly, Treepaw junped out of the bushes and landed on the buck's back. Shocked, The buck franticcally ran towrds Salmonpaw, who bit into its neck. Treepaw was still holding onto it's back. Then, the buck fell, and it's eyes glazed over. A sucsessfull hunt. "Wonderful." purred Minnowtail, then she bit into the bucks leg and looked at the two apprentices, hinting. Then they grabbed some other parts, and they carried the pray back too camp.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"That was some teamwork." meowed Treepaw, looking at the beutifull sun-low. "Yes. It was." replied Salmonpaw. "Hey, Salmonpaw, if... I told you something, would... you... think I was weird?" asked Treepaw, scraping the dirt and blushing. "No. What?" asked Salmonpaw, looking over to Treepaw. "I... I love you." whispered Treepaw, staring up at sun-low. "I love you too." purred Salmonpaw, cuddling her. Then the two enjoyed the rest of sunlow, sitting on the Sunning-Stones.
