Waiting for Brownpaw...

[Softpelt]

Silverpaw paced nervously. He had asked Brownpaw to come to the tall grass...He just had to see her again. Since they had gone hunting he had been feeling different but in a good way. He looked back toward the camp "Maybe she isn't comeing...." he said sadly.

[brownie]

Brownpaw padded up to Silverpaw, mewing a greeting. She smiled and pounced on him.

[Softpelt]

Silverpaw rolled over playfully and batted at Brownpaw. "I was afraid you weren't goinging to show up," he said sheepishly.

[brownie]

"Why wouldn´t I?" Brownpaw asked and pushed Silverpaw off her.

[Softpelt]

"I don't know, I just thought that maybe you would be too busy for an apprentice like me, but I am SO glad you came." He said happily as he looked at her. He beautiful eyes and coat. He felt a warmth creep into his heart.

[brownie]

Brownpaw laughed and smiled at the handsome Apprentice. "Lets hunt!"

[Softpelt]

"Yeah let's!" He ran off nosily into the grass. He stopped and stalked silently. He sniffed the air and walked toward a scent and leaped at what he thought was a mouse. It was a mouse but his leap was off so he missed. He looked at Brownpaw sheepishly. "I missed."

[brownie]

"Never mind," Brownpaw's eyes were focused on the small brown mouse moving close to Silverpaw. Crouching, Brownpaw sprang and landed on the mouse, killing it with one bite.

[Softpelt]

"Nice," commented Silverpaw. He turned and sniffed the air. He wanted to impress Brownpaw. He caught the scent of a rabbit and lowered into a crouch. There is was, he could see it ahead of his to his right. He stalked slowly toward it and leaped, he landed on it and bit it at the neck. The rabbit was still struggling, Silverpaw bit agian at the rabbit's neck and this time he landed the killing blow. The rabbit went still.

[brownie]

"Very impressive," Brownpaw smiled at Silverpaw. Pausing, the tabby cat sniffed the air and dropped into a crouch. She began to move forward light on her paws. Pecking at a worm, was a thrush. Quickly, Brownpaw shot forward and caught the bird in her paws.

[Softpelt]

"Very nice," he said happily. He was glad to be around Brownpaw he just felt nice.

[brownie]

"Your turn!" Brownpaw challenged him, scraping some leaves over the prey.

[Softpelt]

"Alright," he sniffed the air and turned in a small circle until he caught the smell of a mouse. He stalked and leaped swiftly, he nearly missed but managed to stun the mouse. He bit down on his neck and killed it. He piled some leaves over it and glanced at Brownpaw.

[brownie]

"Well done!" Brownpaw mewed. She looked at the bird and the mouse. It was enough for Winterpaw and Largeclaw. "Lets take this to Winterpaw!"

[Softpelt]

"Okay!" cried Silverpaw happily, "She's your sister right?" he asked as he picked up the bird to carry.

[brownie]

"Why else would we argue all the time?" Brownpaw joked. Smiling, she leapt on top of Silverpaw, pushing him over.

[Softpelt]

Silverpaw rolled over and nipped lightly at her ear. "At least you have a sister."

[brownie]

"Don't you?" Brownpaw quizzed, lightly cuffing Silverpaw's head with her paw.

[Softpelt]

Silverpaw bat at her tail, "Uh no, I don't, I wasn't born in Windclan you know. I was found here, but I didn't smell like a windclan kit."

[brownie]

"Do you know where you came from?" Brownpaw asked, thinking of her own mixed heritage. She did have blood connections to WindClan, as Darkfur had been born here, but apart from that she wasn't much different from Silverpaw when it came to heritage.

[Softpelt]

"I-I am not sure, when they found me they said that I had the faint scent of the Rouge, so I don't really know." He said with slightly down cast eyes.

[brownie]

Smiling at Silverpaw, Brownpaw told him of her own heritage. "I was not born to this Clan either. My Father, Darkfur, was the WindClan Deputy. He killed the Leader, Fallenstar, and was chaced out into the wilderness. He joined the Rouges and became their Leader, commiting many crimes. My Mother was Smoke, a wise Kittypet. They loved each other but. . .but when Smoke was Kitting, something went wrong. She gave birth to my siblings, but died before I was born. I had to be cut out. Darkfur did not tell us he was a Rouge, but when he did, all of us hated him, except Winterpaw. Anyway, we loved him again after he saved my life and now he. . .he's joined Mother in StarClan."

[Softpelt]

Silverpaw was shocked he looked at the ground for a moment. "I am so sorry about your parents, Brownpaw," he said looking her straight in the eye. "I never new that, I guess it kinda makes us a like uh?" he said with a smile.

[brownie]

"Yeah," Brownpaw returned the smile.

[Softpelt]

Silverpaw felt the tips of his hears get hot and he looked down slightly embarassed. "Has Silverstar given you a mentor yet?" he asked changing the subject.

[brownie]

Looking down sadly, Brownpaw mewed, "No she hasn't. I feel like she's forgotten me or something. You?"

[Softpelt]

"I feel the same way, maybe there aren't enough warriors to go around. Maybe we will be made warriors early," he said with a smile trying to cheer her up.

[brownie]

"Maybe," Brownpaw mewed, "But I really wanted a Mentor. I've seen Puddlepaw, Rosepaw and Pheonixpaw with their Mentors, they shre a bond. I want to be close to someone like that." At the mention of Puddlepaw, Brownpaw realised that Puddlepaw's Father had been Rowanpelt. Rowanpelt had been her Father, Darkfur's, brother. She and Puddlepaw were cousins!

[Softpelt]

Silverpaw nodded, "Yes they do a have a special relationship, but look at us. Maybe we wouldn't have had this much time to spend with each other, I am glad we became friends" he said softly gazing at Brownpaw.

[brownie]

Her green gaze meeting his amber, Brownpaw smiled and replied "As am I. Silverpaw, I lo-" Breaking off, Brownpaw shook her head slightly, before grabbing some fresh-kill. Pointing towards Camp with her tail, Brownpaw set off in that direction.
