Lightpaw
Palepaw had kept his word, helping both Lightpaw and Darkpaw figure out a plan so that the two of them could sneak out of camp.
It was the morning of the day that both Darkpaw and Lightpaw would be leaving RiverClan.
Lightpaw was currently sitting at the fresh-kill pile and finishing the starling that she had chosen for her meal.
"Lightpaw!"
Lightpaw was sitting in the sun and grooming herself when another cat patted over to her.
It was Sunleaf, one of the daughters of the Clan's eldest medicine cat, Goldenflow.
"Huh? What is it, Sunleaf?"
"Where are you and Darkpaw going?" She asked her questioningly.
Lightpaw stopped grooming her paws to look up at Sunleaf. Her brown eyes gleamed like amber in the early morning light of predawn.
At that very moment, Lightpaw felt like all was right with the world. Sunleaf had a heart of gold, and the warmth and brightness of the sun shone in her beautiful smile .
Lightpaw opened her mouth to speak but no words would come to her mind.
"Sunleaf! Lightpaw!"
The two she-cats turned towards the owner of the voice.
It was Goldenflow.
"Hey mother!" Sunleaf mewed in greeting, rushing up to the older she-car and buzz along her cheek.
The older she-cat smiled and licked her daughter's forehead.
"Hello, Sunleaf!" Goldenflow purred softly, fgiving her daughter a warm smile. "Where's Hunter - I-I mean Redberry?"
Sunleaf chuckled and twitched her whiskers in amusement.
"Hunter? Who's Hunter?" Came Lightpaw's voice from behind them.
"That's the name given to Redberry when she was born." Goldenflow replied with a small smile. "Her Tribe name was Hunter That Waits For Prey, and Sunleaf's Tribe name was Breeze Caught In Storm."
Lightpaw's blue eyes grew wide in shock. "Wait really? What about you and Foxheart?"
Goldenflow purred softly in responce. "Foxheart's Tribe name was Fox That Hides When Hunted, and my Tribe name was Golden That Flows Through The Stream."
It was silent for a few moments before Lightpaw spoke up once more.
"So, what did you call us for?" She asked the medicine cat. "Is there something you need our help with?"
The medicine cat chuckled and flicked her tail, motioning with her head for them to follow her.
Lightpaw and Sunleaf patted into the medicine cat's den with Goldenflow at the head.
"Rushingwater is delivering catmint to ShadowClan, and there's a half-moon tonight. But I need to gather the necessary herbs for travel." The older she-cat paused to take a breath before speaking again.
"Could the two of you do me a huge favor?" she asked the two younger cats.
Lightpaw and Sunleaf both nodded and Goldenflow sighed in relief.
"Could the two of you help me gather some herbs before I have to leave?"
"Of course we can help!" Sunleaf was the first to speak, smiling brightly and flicking her tail from left to right.
She then turned to face Lightpaw. "Won't we, Lightpaw?" she meowed, nudging the white she-cat in the side with a paw.
After a few more moments of awkward silence, Lightpaw nodded her head and tother, the three cats headed out of camp and deep into the forest.
