Snow's Choice

Chapter 5

         *A Quarter Moon Later*

"Dad, I'm going to go patrol with the Clan. OK?" His son called to him. "Fine." Snow mumbled. River gotten very close to the Clan cats after he got better. Everyday, he would do something with the Clan. "Want to go hunting?" Sheepfur asked interrupting his thoughts. "Sure!" He purred happy to be hunting with his old friend. They padded into the forest together step by step. "Do you think River should join the Clan?" Snow pondered his friend as he caught a scent of mouse. Sheepfur immediately stopped and thought for a very long time. "He could be helpful especially in Leafbare, but What about you will you join?" Sheepfur pushed on. "Let's hunt." Snow meowed trying to skip the question. "Snow, answer me." Sheepfur nuzzled his friend's shoulder hoping he would say yes. "No, I wouldn't." He meowed sadly. "It's hard living around other people when you lived alone your whole life." He added. There was a little bit of silence. "Oh... I think you should let him join. I would miss you, but I'll see you on border patrols." Sheepfur meowed. "OK. Thanks Sheepfur." Snow mumbled deep in thought.
