CHAPTER 4
(Mistypaw's POV)
Mistypaw stood up and looked around. It was the middle of the night and she couldn't get to sleep because she kept thinking about Moorpaw. She held her breath and prodded Bramblepaw but she didn't stir. She breathed a sigh of relief and turned to go but stopped and went over to her thinking about what she said last night, "I'm sorry your jealous," she murmured in her ear, "The right tom will come along soon," she promised. She turned away again and creeped over to the Medicine Cat den, trying to ignore the pain in her infected paw. Oh Starclan please don't let him be dead! She prayed, taking a deep breath and slinking in. Mistypaw looked around, Moorpaw was asleep on a bed of moss, his flank gently rising up and down. Relieved she ran quietly over to him. "Moorpaw!" she whispered noticing his blood stained flank.
He stirred, "Hmm what?" he moaned, "Who is it?"
"It's Mistypaw you mouse brain!" she purred.
He opened his eyes to look at her, "Yay another cat besides Dawnfire! It's been so long!" he rasped.
"It hasn't even been a day silly!" she giggled. He yawned and she added, "I shouldn't be here," She turned to go.
"Don't go!" he pleaded looking like a motherless kit. For some reason Mistypaw felt joy as she turned back to him and settled down beside him.
He yawned again and his eyes closed in sleep, "Goodnight Mistypaw," he murmured.
"Goodnight," she whispered back letting sleep takeover.
Mistypaw felt a paw poke her, she blinked open her eyes to see Dawnfire standing over her, fur bristled, "Get up!" she ordered the young apprentice. Mistypaw obeyed and stood up. "What are you doing here! I told you not to come in!" the Medicine Cat hissed.
"I, umm, my my paw was hurting," she said sheepishly. Dawnfire didn't look convinced, "Fine!" she breathed, "I came to see Moorpaw."
Dawnfire sighed, "Well as long as your here I might as well check your paw," she motioned for Mistypaw to follow her. She got out of the nest and walked over to the she-cat, who examined her paw and went to her stocks and reappeared with Chervil and Poppy Seeds. She chewed the Chervil to get the juice out and then rubbed it on her sore paw. Then she pushed the Poppy Seeds over to her, "Eat these," she instructed, "Then you need to leave," she added in a more gentle tone.
Mistypaw nodded and ate the seeds. Then she got up and walked to the entrance of the den. She turned, "Bye Moorpaw," she whispered and turned back to leave.
"Love struck apprentices," she heard Dawnfire mutter. Love struck? She thought, am I really in love with Moorpaw? She wondered.
Sunlight shone down on the camp, Mistypaw stretched and sat down by the fresh-kill pile. How long did I sleep? She thought to herself. She shrugged and began to groom her fur. Just then Bramblepaw ran up to her, "Where have you been!?" she exclaimed, "Vinetail wanted you on the dawn patrol, she looked everywhere for you! Eventually they had to leave without you! Their back now," she added.
Mistypaw stood up, "I was in the Medicine Cat den with Moorpaw," she meowed, "Sorry!"
"Dawnfire let you see him?" Bramblepaw questioned.
"Well not exactly," she replied. Then she remembered what her friend had said last night, "Bramblepaw," she started, "Do you really think Moorpaw likes me?" she asked nervously.
Bramblepaw sighed, "Of course he likes you fur brain!" she replied pressing against her flank.
Mistypaw breathed a sigh of relief, she looked at the sky, "What time is it?" she questioned.
"Sunhigh," her friend replied. Wow! Mistypaw thought, I slept late.
"Want to share a rabbit?" she asked. Bramblepaw nodded and Mistypaw picked up a rabbit from the pile.
They had hardly taken a bite when Cloudstar's familiar call rang out, "Let all cats old enough to sleep under the stars join beneath the Tallrock for a clan meeting," he yowled. The two friends deserted the rabbit and joined their clanmates. Cloudstar surveyed the gathered cats then he spoke, "Lilypaw, Wildpaw, and Emberpaw please step forward." the three littermates stepped forward eyes shining. "It is time you become warriors. Your mentors told me how well you three did today during your assessments," he paused and glanced up at the sky, "Do you promise to uphold the Warrior Code and protect your clanmates even at the cost of your life?"
"I do," the siblings said at the same time.
"Then by the power vested in Starclan you are now true warriors of Windclan. From this moment on you shall be known as Lilyflight, Wildflame, and Emberpool. Starclan honors your kindness and faith. You will sit silent vigil tonight."
"Lilyflight, Wildflame, Emberpool!" the cats cheered as Cloudstar dismissed them with a flick of his tail.
Dawnfire plushies for the reviewers!
