Six || Moonlight Berries
I'm sure it was for good reason, she said he was a Bloodclan rat and I'm guessing that means he's evil. And maybe he's the cat Badger brought them to… butshedidn'tsayitwasherfather!
"Snowpaw! Stop sitting there and pay attention!" Ashtree, her mentor said.
Snowpaw sighed and returned to her training.
At the end of training Ashtree asked her, "What's on your mind? Is it Fox? I know you are getting closer to her."
"Sorta."
"Don't worry she'll be fine."
'Can you tell Hopestar that she wishes to be a warrior apprentice?" Shadowpaw blurted out.
"She's blind."
"So? She can still hunt and fight I believe."
"Alright. I'll tell her, but no promise." Ashtree sighed.
"Thank you!" Snowpaw exclaimed.
As soon as Snowpaw got back she went to the medicine den and Shatteredeyes stopped her. "Your friend's getting better."
Berrymark, who had been sorting herbs, came over. "I'm surprised Stripepaw hasn't visited her. Oh- Shatteredeyes! We need more poppy seeds!"
"Hi, Shadowpaw." Fox's mew came from where she was lying in a small corner
"Shall we head out?" Berrymark asked Shatteredeyes.
"I guess so." Shatteredeyes grumbled.
"Call us if anything happens." Berrymark mewed.
Shadowpaw nodded.
"Starclan!" Shadowpaw heard Fox mutter under her breath.
"I would suppose you are here for more answers?" Fox said, as if reading Shadowpaw's mind.
"How-" Then she remembered Fox's power to read minds.
"Have you been watching my dreams?"
"Maybe."
Ugh.
"So did you really-" Shadowpaw started.
"Yes, I killed my father."
"But why?"
"He was an evil Bloodclan rat!"
"Bloodclan?" Shadowpaw didn't know what that was.
"A group of cats who live to kill."
W-wait,the elders said something about that…
"Yep. The same Bloodclan that came to thr forest long ago." Fox conformed.
"With- what was his name? Scourge?" Shadowpaw asked.
"Mhm."
But how?
"They made a second one."
Huh?
Strange, I know? Fox's voice said in her mind.
How old were you? Shadowpaw realized she could talk to Fox in her mind.
Six moons and a day.
"But how?" Shadowpaw exclaimed.
I put deathberries in his freshkill and pretended to kill him so his followers would be scared. In his last moments he blinded me.
How did he blind you?
He smushed deathberries into my eyes and it washed my sight out.
Wow… Shadowpaw thought.
"Did you... did you bury him?" Fox asked.
"Yes. After Shadowpaw went to get Berrymark and Shattered eyes we buried him again so they couldn't find it." Shadowpaw remembered how Stripepaw had urged them to bury her father's body.
"Thank you."
"it was Stripepaw's idea."
"Thank you."
