"Creampaw you've been sorting through those herbs all day." Streamflow mewed in exasperation.
"Well with The Calling being tomorrow youll be left without me to help for a while so Im trying to help out as much as I can." Creampaw responded without turning away from the precious herbs.
"Ill be just fine without you Creampaw." Streamflow purred in amusement, flicking her apprentice with her tail affectionately.
"But I.." Creampaw began to protest.
"But nothing. Go get yourself something to eat. That's an order." Streamflow mewed sternly.
"Oh alright." Creampaw sighed, racing out of the medicine den, the prospect of food now inviting.
Creampaw ran through the dark tunnels, having gone through this path many times before. She was from Whisperclan. Unlike many other clans, Whisperclan had its camp built in underground tunnels. No clan would dare attack their camp for fear of getting lost in the dark never ending tunnels that only Whisperclan cats knew their way through. There were several openings above ground that opened up into the tunnels but these openings were hidden very well. Creampaw easily found her way to the entrance to the clearing and entered, making her way towards the fresh kill pile.
Stormpaw was already there sorting through the freshkill pile, his gray ears twitching slightly as he turned to look at Creampaw with his kind blue eyes.
"Here. You haven't eaten anything all day." Stormpaw murmured, nudging a mouse towards her before grabbing a mouse of his own.
Creampaw let out a soft purr of gratitude as she began to eat. Stormpaw was a few moons older than her and had always been there for Creampaw. They had bonded instantly as kits and had been best friends ever since. Stormpaw was always looking after Creampaw and had been disappointed when she chose a different path from his. The path of a medicine cat. Although he had been disappointed, he supported her and knew that that was her destiny all along. Creampaw glanced up and her blue eyes met his. Before either of them could say anything Cloudpaw appeared, his white tail twitching in excitement.
"That looks delicious." Cloudpaw mewed, taking a swipe at Stormpaws mouse.
"Get your own mouse brain." Stormpaw growled, although there was fondness in his gaze.
"Who you calling a mouse brain?" Cloudpaw inquired mischeviously as he leaped playfully onto Stormpaw, bowling him over.
The two toms tussled, their eyes lit up in excitement but just then they crashed into Blazepaw.
"Watch where your going!" Blazepaw snarled, baring his teeth in aggression.
"Calm down Blazepaw. It was an accident." Creampaw murmured from where she sat.
Blazepaw turned his fierce icy blue eyes on her.
"YOU were an accident." He retorted before stalking off.
Creampaws blue eyes clouded with hurt as Stormpaw got up to go after him. Creampaw stopped him gently and just shook her head. Blazepaw hated her and her siblings because they shared the same father. He had always been desperate for his fathers affection but refused to share his father. For all Creampaw cared, Blazepaw could keep her fathers affection. She deeply disliked her father. Once her mother died her father had quickly gotten another mate and had kits with her. Creampaw would never forgive him for abandoning the kits he already had just because their mother died. Stormpaw pressed his body against her and began licking her fur in soothing strokes, calming her down as Cloudpaw got up and shook the dirt out of his fur.
Creampaw decided to push what had just happened out of her mind and allowed her gaze to wander the clearing. She quickly spotted Flickerpaw mooning over Silverpaw as usual. It was obvious Flickerpaw was in love with the pretty she cat although Silverpaw didn't seem to notice. Silverpaw was busy exchanging a few words with her mentor while Flickerpaw watched from a distance. Creampaw twitched her ears in annoyance before looking away to see Mistkit bounding up to them.
Mistkit was her half sister but Creampaw knew that it wasn't the kits fault that they shared the same father. Creampaw would never dare judge someone for their parents mistakes. She an Mistkit were friends.
"What are you doing out of the nursery?" Creampaw asked the younger cat.
"My brothers were being annoying so I asked my mom if I could come and get something to eat and she said yes." Mistkit mewed sleepily, it was obvious she had just woken up from her nap.
"Well Im just grateful you didn't get lost in the tunnels." Creampaw purred in amusement at the sleepy kit.
"You know I would never get lost in the tunnels." The she cat protested indignantly.
It was true, every Whisperclan cat from the time they opened their eyes were taught to navigate through the tunnels. Even kits younger than Mistkit knew their way through the tunnels. Stormpaw handed a mouse over to Mistkit as Creampaw beckoned Flickerpaw over to join them. Silverpaw had finished speaking to her mentor and padded over as well. These were Creampaws group of friends and she knew she wouldn't change them for the world. Cloudpaw was the playful one. Flickerpaw was awkward and shy. Mistkit was the youngest of them and all of them made it their duty to protect her the most. Silverpaw was the quiet and beautiful she cat. Stormpaw was handsome and extremely smart. Then there was Creampaw. She was the cat that everyone couldn't help but loving. She got a long with almost everyone and it was really hard to be mad at the pretty she cat.
The sound of footsteps could be lightly heard for those who listened close enough. The footsteps would echo throughout the Whisperclan tunnels, always a reminder that this dark underground place was inhabited by the fiercest of cats and by the darkest of souls.
