CHAPTER 2
(Mistypaw's POV)
Mistypaw set her rabbit on the fresh-kill pile. "Well done!" Vinetail praised setting her own rabbit next to her apprentice's. Mistypaw dipped her head in thanks, and padded towards the apprentice den. It had been a moon since the two friends had joined Windclan as apprentices. Since then they had learned a lot about the warrior code, fighting, hunting, and Starclan. She liked hunting the best, she was fast and Vinetail said she had a nice hunter's crouch.
Bramblepaw was talking with Lilypaw outside the apprentice den, Mistypaw sat down next to them, "Hello," she mewed.
"Hi," they meowed back. Since their fist day as apprentices things had cleared up between the friends.
"Let all cats old enough to sleep under the stars join here for a clan meeting," Cloudstar yowled. The cats gathered at the base of a tall boulder in the middle of camp. Cloudstar gazed out at the cats, "As you know tonight is the full moon gathering." The cats began to stir, "I will choose the cats that will attended, but before that Littlekit, Softkit, and, Moorkit please step forward." The three freshly groomed kits scurried over to the Tallrock and Cloudstar jumped down to be at their height, "Littlekit, from this moment until you receive your warrior name you shall be known as Littlepaw," he looked around for a moment, "Fawnheart will be your mentor." The two cats touched noses, Cloudstar continued "Softkit from this moment on until you receive your warrior name you shall be known as Softpaw, Snowspirit you will mentor Softpaw." The young apprentice scurried over to the skinny white tom and touched his nose shyly. "And Moorkit," the leader turned his head towards the sandy brown tom, "From now until you receive your warrior name you will be known as Moorpaw, Redwing will be your mentor." The young tom padded over to touch noses with the bright ginger she-cat.
"Littlepaw, Softpaw, Moorpaw!" The clan cheered. Mistypaw felt a pang of envy, why didn't they cheer for her and Bramblepaw this way? Because, she reminded herself, they were different. They were really humans, but no one could know that, who would believe it anyways?
Cloudstar silenced all the cats with a yowl, "The cats who will be attending the gathering are me, Crowmist, Dawnfire, Deepfern, Redwing, Hawkthorn, Vinetail, Moorpaw, Emberpaw, and Mistypaw." Mistypaw looked up at Cloudstar surprised. He dismissed the cats with a flick of his tail. Cats began to mingle and congratulate the new apprentices.
Bramblepaw ran over to her, "Your so lucky!" she enthused, then she noticed the look on Mistypaw's face, "Mouse brain," she purred, "You get to meet cats from the other clans and see the leaders!"
"Yeah, well we've already met them and if u recall it didn't go so well!" she hissed through clenched teeth.
Her best friend sighed, "Just try to have fun," she breathed, "For me." Then she stalked away. Mistypaw looked longingly after her friend.
Vinetail rested her tail on her shoulder, "You look tired," she mused, "Get something to eat then you can rest until the gathering." Mistypaw nodded and went to get something to eat.
Mistypaw walked behind Vinetail and Redwing, the moon shone down onto the lake causing a reflection. She wondered what would happen tonight, would the leaders remember her? Would the other cats be nice? Behind her Moorpaw walked alone in the very back, she doubled back to walk next to him, "Congratulations," she meowed.
"Thanks!" he replied, then he added, "Are you excited for the gathering?"
"Umm, yeah," she answered.
"It's my understanding this isn't your first time on the island?" he questioned looking like a kit waiting for a story.
"I don't really want to talk about," she sighed.
The glow left his eyes, "I understand," he said.
Mistypaw sighed, "Well I guess I could tell you a little bit." The glow returned to his eyes as she told him about the berries and Lily falling in the water except for the fact that she made it sound like they were cats the whole time and not humans. She even told him that a cat named Katie thought her how to swim, which wasn't that much of a lie, her swimming in instructor was named Katie. They laughed and told stories all the way to the fallen tree bridge. Mistypaw jumped up gracefully. She was halfway across when she lost her balance and fell in, she started to swim back to shore.
"Fish!" Moorpaw joked. She lifted her paw and splashed him, he ducked out of the way, "Missed me!" he called. Suddenly he started to wobble and fell in to the water. Mistypaw gasped and grabbed him by his scruff, dragging him to shore.
"I'm so sorry!" she said panicked.
He rolled onto his back and looked up at her, "You are so lucky my mom isn't here! She would have torn you to shreds!" They both burst out laughing, then they shook themselves off and walked across the tree giggling. When they entered the clearing the gathering had already started, Needlestar had just finished giving his report. They found a spot next to Redwing and Vinetail who gave the two apprentices a stern look.
They straightened and tried to listen as Birdstar gave a very brief report and Mossystar talked for ages about a fox they had chased away. Finally it was Cloudstar's turn, "Prey is running well in Windclan, we also have five new apprentices Mistypaw, Bramblepaw, Littlepaw, Softpaw, and Moorpaw."
"Mistypaw, Bramblepaw, Littlepaw, Softpaw, Moorpaw!" the cats cheered. The two apprentices straightened. With a flick of Birdstar's tail the gathering was dismissed.
The cats who had attended the gathering padded into the camp. Their clanmates came out of their dens to talk about the gathering. Bramblepaw ran up to her and she nodded to Moorpaw who went to find his sisters, "How was it?" she asked.
"Great!" Mistypaw enthused.
"See I knew you would have fun!" she practically yelled jumping around Mistypaw who rolled her eyes and went to lay down near the medicine cat den. That was one thing she loved about Windclan, you got to sleep under the stars. She curled up, touching her tail to her nose, Bramblepaw settled down next to her. Mistypaw closed her faded blue eyes and let sleep take over.
Mistypaw blinked open her eyes, she was standing by the lake. Cats were fighting behind her she tired to turn and help, but she couldn't move. "Bramblepaw!" she called struggling to move.
Suddenly a starry she-cat that looked just like Birdstar except for a nick in her right ear came and sat by her, an ominous look in her eyes. When she spoke it was soft, "When stars dawn over the moor two will come to save the clans, and when the stars fall back into place one will go and one will stay."
Mistypaw starred at her, "Who are you?" she asked.
"That you do not need to know," she replied, "All you need to know is that you decide your future and what you do with it is up to you, choose wisely young one." And with that she and all the fighting disappeared, Mistypaw was alone.
Hope u enjoyed chapter 2! Moorpaw plushies for all the reviewers! :)
