As they arrived at the gathering island, she limped over to the river surrounding the island and dipped her paw in the cool water to reduce a little pain. Soon, she trotted over to the main part of the island and the first thing she scented was Silvercloud, who came over to her and the two she-cats entwined tails, "Hey Featherpaw, how are you doing? Is your paw healing OK?" Featherpaw nodded, "Moonblossom is worried though, although she says it will heal soon, and the badger responsible is gone." she shivered at the subject of the badger, remembering it's pungent scent and sharp claws ripping her soft, sleek fur. "Will you get your name soon?" Silvercloud asked, changing the subject, Featherpaw shook her head, "Don't know, not soon, I hope." her friend purred, "I guess you like being an apprentice?" Featherpaw just nodded a little and sighed, she wished she could be normal. As the two young she-cats trotted over to the base of the tree where the other medicine cats were and sat down side by side as Featherpaw informed her friend about everything that's been happening, leaving out the prophecy and how she discovered that her mentor was actually her mother. Luckily, she didn't have to say any more when the leaders started talking about all the new warriors, medicine cats and other news that she didn't know about, she was glad when Moonblossom came over to her and pressed close to Featherpaw as the cats cheered for all the new warriors and apprentices, helping shield the small silver she-cat's ears from as much noise as possible. 

Back at camp, Featherpaw tested her injured paw for the first time in what? Like a moon? To her delight, it didn't hurt anymore, although there was still a dull ache as she gingerly placed it on the ground. Seeing her apprentice and daughter free of pain in the first time for a moon, Moonblossom purred in delight seeing Featherpaw walk around the den and decided to take her out.

Silvercloud POV:

In Riverclan territory, Silvercloud was busy collecting borage for Streamheart, the queen who kitted the day before, she has three healthy kits, Mistkit and Frostkit, she was doing well but there were quite a few queens in the nursery, there was Whitefur, who was expecting, her kits were due in a moon or so, and Willowfrost's kits, Minnowkit and Reedkit, were 5 moon old and would be apprenticed soon. Silvercloud had noticed that Frostkit had an interest to her and Ripplestream's den and she was thinking about taking the little white kit as her apprentice when the time comes. Setting of home with a mouthful of borage, she thought about her Thunderclan friend, Featherpaw, how was she? Silvercloud often wondered. She was glad that she was a medicine cat, it meant that she could be friend with cats from different clans, which she was grateful for since it let her befriend gentle, patient Featherpaw, if anycat deserved her full medicine cat name, it was Featherpaw.


Back in Thunderclan, Moonblossom and Featherpaw decided to go out to collect some yarrow from snakerocks. When they arrived there, the two got the yarrow and went down to the riverclan border where the stream was trickling quietly and Moonblossom started talking, "You know, you can't be an apprentice for much longer, I think I'll give you your full name soon. I was thinking the half moon after the next..." Featherpaw shyly looked away, she liked being an apprentice but she couldn't say no now that Silvercloud has her full name and the fact that her 'littermates' Amberpaw and Cloudpaw had their assessment tomorrow, not to mention Jayclaw, who Featherpaw could tell that Cloudpaw was moony-eyed for and often wondered if they would have kits one day.

Cloudpaw POV:

Cloudpaw was busy doing battle practice with her sister Amberpaw when she saw her other sister, Featherpaw, come over to them. "Hi Featherpaw, how are you?" her sister purred and meowed "Your assessment is tomorrow isn't it? You finally get to share a den with Jayclaw again." Featherpaw joked and Cloudpaw blushed, was it that obvious that she liked Jayclaw? Her sister was a medicine cat but...
