Lost Stars

Chapter two

"Go help Weaselfur with his bedding." Blizzardclaw ordered.

"But! Whitepaw can help-"

He gave his apprentice a long look who stared back at him with resistance in her eyes.

She soon looked away and headed to the elders den catching Weaselfur peeping his brown head out.

Blizzardclaw nodded and walked to the High log to where Eaglestripe and Brindlecloud were.

Eaglestripe was stretching and Brindlecloud neatly curled her tail around her body when he walked up.
"She seems to be a pawful!" Brindlecloud mewed.

Eaglestripe nodded yawning wide and licking his pelt.

Blizzardclaw sat down and looked at his apprentice furiously stomp out the medicine den with moss and head over to the elders den.
He shook his head, upset at the way she was acting.

But he had to punish her for the other day. He caught her sneaking out of camp and returning at dawn. "Whitepaw doesn't behave like her. Redpaw's like this cause of Berryfoot letting her do what she wants as Heronstar letting her do what she wanted as a kit."
Eaglestripe commented, his eyes watching the apprentice.

It's been two quarter-moons since she caught her first prey. Hunting is not her strong suit. Blizzardclaw's ear twitched towards the entrance as the hunting patrol came in. It consisted of Heronstar, Gingerfoot and Hazeleye.

The dawn patrol came in right behind them. Stormclaw, Whitepaw, Sunstorm and Lightningfur.
Stormclaw walked over to Heronstar giving him the border patrol report.

Blizzardclaw looked at Lightningfur. The gray tom was a odd one to him. He still patrolled and hunted despite him losing his leg.
"I wonder do it ever hurts??" He muttered lowly to himself.

Redpaw emerged and saw Whitepaw boasting to Gingerfoot and Lilystream about her rabbit she caught. The brown she-cat stood on her back paws, clearly exaggerating on how huge the rabbit was. Redpaw growled lowly and turned around abruptly tail twitching impatiently.

"You three!" Stormclaw mewed loudly. "Go patrol FireClan's border! Lilystream, Nightwing and Thunderheart," the gray tom mewed while looking for Thunderheart, "go hunt." He said as Thunderheart came from making dirt.

Eaglestripe got up padding to the entrance with Brindlecloud behind him. Blizzardclaw walked away to go fetch Redpaw.

She bumped into him roughly and let out a audible oof. "Where are you in rush too?!"

He calmly flicked his tail to come on and she readily followed behind him.

"Thanks for giving me new moss!" Weaselfur's voice came from the den.

They made it to the entrance with Blizzardclaw hearing Stormclaw adding Adderfrost to Lilystream's patrol.

They pushed through the ferns and followed Eaglestripe's scent who was waiting up ahead by the small oak tree.

"I heard Heronstar and Stormclaw planning on announcing Dawnpool's and Whiteheart's kits apprentice ceremony today! And I know who the mentors are!"

Blizzardclaw turned on her with surprise etched on his face. "You're one sneaky cat huh??" He mewed while looking around.

She licked her chest fur, clearly proud of herself.

"Ready??" Eaglestripe asked.

Brindlecloud nodded. Blizzardclaw gave a curt nod and Redpaw shyly nodded and stood behind her mentor.

The gray and white tom turned quickly and moved out heading to the border. His body language giving away that he was stressed about something.

Brindlecloud matched her pace to Blizzardclaw's. He looked at her out the corner of his eye.
