So There

Patrol to Twolegplace

Pikestep.

I couldn't give a flying fish why he was the apple of Volepaw's eye. I just knew he was and I hated it with every fiber of my being.

We would be heading out to the Queen-Napping Patrol soon, but Redpaw had told me amusingly that Volepaw has a crush on him and not to tell anyone else. I know Redpaw wasn't trying to upset me, but I was fuming.

Why was I this upset? It's not like I'm into her right? It's only been one sunrise for StarClan's sake.

"Hey, moth-ball!" I heard Willowtail growl. "Didn't you hear Jioveheart? It's time for us to go on the Queen-Napping Patrol!"

Knowing I had to go on the same patrol with the she-cat that magically seems to take over most of my thoughts made me irritated. But it made my heart race...but I was still irritated.

A grim vibe came over our patrol as we apprentices knew the wrong that this patrol was going to commit. Kidnapping queens and kits.

"We will split into three groups." Jioveheart explained. "Willowtail will take Brownpaw and Flypaw, Honeybreeze will take Volepaw and Songpaw, and I'll take Redpaw."

I looked away from Volepaw as the three of us walked down a Thunderpath feeling a burning sensation as I heard that we were partnered together. Why would I care?

"Can't wait to hunt down kittypets!" Volepaw growled with a satisfied smirk.

"We're not killing all of them y'know." Honeybreeze rolled her eyes. Does that mean we have to kill some of them?!

"I'm not hurting any of them!" I blurted out. Honeybreeze glared at me while Volepaw froze and looked worried.

"You will if I say so!" Honeybreeze hissed, she lunged forward as if to claw my ears. But Volepaw stood in front of me and puffed her chest.

"Leave her alone will you?" Volepaw snapped. Her angry voice defending me practically made my heart melt and my legs shake. This felt like nothing I felt in ThunderClan, but why?

"You two listen to me, OK?" Honeybreeze ordered with a little less of her confidence. "I'm your superior, so you listen to what I say!"

Personally it sounded like she was trying to convince herself that but when it came to picking and choosing my battles, I chose none. So I didn't say anything else.

I saw kittypets run to their nests like they knew this was going to happen. Honeybreeze waved her tail as a signal and ran after the kittypets, with me and Volepaw following her.

"Get the slowest she-cat over there!" Honeybreeze yowled, I knew she was referring to the black and white one that seemed slower than the others.

Me and Volepaw ran towards the she-cat while Honeybreeze went after a she-cat with her four kits. We were closing in on her till a sleek brown and white she-cat leaped in front of us.

"Whitney!" The black and white she-cat yowled terrified.

"Stay back Sheila! I'm not losing my mate to these wild cats!" The brown and white cat unsheathed her claws and leaped at Volepaw.

"Songpaw! Take her down!" Volepaw hissed as she attempted to push Whitney off. "Why are you hesitating?! Do it!"

"Because that's her mate!" I gasped. They were just like me, but they were happy with each other...I couldn't do that. I was snapped out of my thinking when I heard Volepaw hiss in pain.

I ran to Volepaw and pushed the kittypet off of her. Whitney and Sheila both took off leaving me and a very ruffled Volepaw looking at me with annoyed amber eyes.
