CHAPTER 5
(Bramblepaw's POV)
Bramblepaw padded from the apprentice den, due to rain last night everyone had slept inside.
"Dawn patrol?" she questioned Chippedbird.
He nodded, "Yep."
"Who's coming with?" Bramblepaw asked.
"Deepfern, Snowspirit, Redwing and Moorpaw," he meowed. Bramblepaw's heart sunk. Moorpaw hadn't been friendly to her ever since the accident he acts as though its my fault he almost died! Chippedbird noticed her lack of excitement, "Moorpaw will come around," he promised. And hedgehogs will fly!
Just then Moorpaw raced from the apprentice den his green eyes glowing, "Is there time to eat?" he asked Redwing.
"Yes just make it quick!" Redwing replied gulping down a mouse, Bramblepaw's belly growled and she started to head towards the fresh-kill pile just as Moorpaw and Redwing padded over to the patrol.
"Lets go!" Moorpaw mewed, Bramblepaw growls under her breath but pads slowly after Chippedbird.
As the patrol neared RiverClan's border Bramblepaw's fur bristled, I wonder if RiverClan is as hostile as ThunderClan and ShadowClan. But to her surprise the RiverClan patrol they meet is quite friendly.
"How's the prey running Redwing?" a black she-cat with a gray tail asks.
"Quite well Ferntail how's RiverClan?" Redwing replies,
"Amazing, Goldenpetal just had her kits! There names are Leafkit and Snowkit!" Ferntail gushed, Chippedbird smiled.
"Gorseshadow is close to kittening" he meowed, padded over to Ferntail, they began to talk about kits. Moorpaw boasted about his fighting skills to a tan and ginger furred apprentice named Dawnpaw while Snowspirit and Deepfern explained the ShadowClan attack to Frogwater and Emberleaf.
"Hi!" a white tom with gray speckles mewed.
"Hi! I'm Bramblepaw!" Bramblepaw chirped. He seems friendly!
"I'm Rainpaw!" the tom explained his dark blue eyes shining, Bramblepaw met his gaze and for some reason she couldn't look away.
"Uhh...how's RiverClan?" she asked softly.
Rainpaw smiled, "It's good and WindClan?" he murmured his voice suddenly soft.
"Umm...fine," she said as she lowered her head. She glanced at Moorpaw and said, "Do you have any cats like him in Riverclan?"
He giggled, "Nope, but I've met him before." Bramblepaw cocked her head to the side, "During border patrols like this," he explained, she nodded. "I feel like I've seen you before," he confessed.
She shrugged, "I haven't been to any gatherings and this is my first border patrol at the Riverclan border."
"The gathering!" he gasped, "You and that other cat were up in the tree with the leaders!"
"Well..I..umm, yes," she sighed.
"You were really brave up there," he said quietly and Bramblepaw couldn't help but let a small purr erupt from her throat.
"Bramblepaw!" Chippedbird Meowed, "Were leaving!"
"Coming!" she meowed, just as she turned to go Rainpaw hissed in her ear.
"Meet me by the Fallen Oak tonight at Moon High!" he hissed quietly.
Bramblepaw nodded, "I'll be there!" she promised not realizing what she said until the RiverClan border was far behind. Did I just say I'll meet a RiverClan tom tonight! Oh StarClan if I get caught I'll be in BIG trouble but there's just something about Rainpaw...
"Did you see the squirrel I caught today?" Littlepaw boasted.
"Yeah well Branchfall told me I was faster than a rabbit!" Moorpaw argued.
"Softpaw was amazing at battle training today!" Mistypaw added, Softpaw blushed.
"It was nothing..." she murmured.
"Nothing? You beat me single pawed!" Mistypaw meowed. Poor Softpaw, she's so shy and Mistypaw just wants to make her feel like she belongs.
Moorpaw pressed his muzzle to Mistypaw's, "Want to share a thrush?" he asked.
"Sure!" Mistypaw purred leaving an embarrassed Softpaw behind her as she padded with Moorpaw over to the prey pile. Why won't they all just go to sleep? Bramblepaw wondered, it's almost moon high Rainpaw will be waiting.
Finally every cat was in their nests, sleeping inside again due to a light drizzle. Bramblepaw got up from her nest slowly so she wouldn't disturb Littlepaw and Softpaw.
Mistypaw stirs, "Bramblepaw?" she murmured
"Dirt place!" Bramblepaw hissed, Mistypaw laid back down next to Moorpaw, sighing with relief Bramblepaw padded quickly out of the den. Shortstripe is guarding the camp, Bramblepaw picked up a stone with her jaws and flung it across the clearing, it landed with a clatter.
Shortstripe rushed over to the area in which it landed, "What was that?" he murmured. Bramblepaw raced across the clearing and out of the camp, she sighed with relief when Shortstripe didn't follow. She broke into a run, racing towards the Fallen Oak, a huge oak tree that rested right between RiverClan and WindClan's border.
Rainpaw was already there, "What took you so long?" he asks padding over to her, "I thought you weren't coming!"
Bramblepaw sighed, "I got held up," she murmured, Rainpaw purred and cuffed her ear. I'm already an outcast in my Clan, Rainpaw seems to be the only cat that's accepted me for who I am.
"What should we do now?" he asked.
Bramblepaw poked his flank, "Your it fish breath!" she taunted, racing off.
"Who are you calling fish breath?" Rainpaw yowled running after her, then he added, "I've always wondered how fast Windclan cats could run." Bramblepaw laughed as she swerved out of the way of his paw reaching to tag her. They played until the sun began to rise.
"We have to go now," Bramblepaw murmured sadly, "Tomorrow night?"
"You'd sneak away from your Clan two nights in a row?" Rainpaw mewed surprised.
She nodded, "This was fun," she murmured softly.
Rainpaw purred, but glanced towards his territory, "Tomorrow night." he promised.
Hope you enjoyed! Rainpaw plushies for the reviewers! :)
