Mist That Appears Before Dawn

 Mist yawned and followed Bluewing, her sister, back to camp. Almost a moon passed since she joined ThunderClan, and she already knew most of the things she had to learn. She got used to living with ThunderClan, and actually liked it more than the Tribe.

 She dropped her crow, squirrel, and mouse in the fresh-kill pile and looked at Bluewing. ''Should I take something to Briarlight?''

 Bluewing blinked, then purred. ''You don't have to ask me, you know that? Even if you're not a warrior, you're not an apprentice, either. You can act like a warrior when you're not training.''

 ''All right. I'll be back.'' Mist meowed and picked two birds from the fresh-kill pile and rushed toward the medicine cat den. She could still hardly believe that a cat who had her back paws paralyzed was doing so well in the wild, but she respected Briarlight.

 She padded in the medicine cats' den and saw Jayfeather talking with Briarlight, who was in her nest.

 ''We have to start your exercises now.'' Jayfeather meowed. ''Come on.''

 ''Err, hello?'' Mist meowed and padded toward them. 

 Briarlight flicked her ears and turned her head. ''Oh! Hi, Mist!''

 Jayfeather sniffed the air. ''Is anything wrong?''

 ''No, I just wanted to bring prey to Briarlight.'' She meowed and dropped the prey near Briarlight.

 The brown she-cat sighed. ''You know that I can get prey myself, right?''

 ''I know, but I just wanted to be helpful.'' Mist meowed.

 ''Well, thank you anyway!'' Briarlight purred and started to eat the two birds.

 Mist looked at Jayfeather. ''Do you want anything from the fresh-kill pile? I could bring some prey to you.''

 To her surprise, Jayfeather shook his head. ''No, I just ate a few moments ago. Lionblaze brought a squirrel to me.''

 ''All right, then. I'll leave you two alone.'' Mist meowed and turned around, padding out of the den.

 ''When you finish eating, we'll start your exercises!'' She heard Jayfeather meow from the den.

 She looked around and stretched her paws. I wonder if Brambleclaw wants me in a patrol.

 Mist looked around for the brown tabby tom and soon saw him. She rushed toward him. ''Brambleclaw?''

 The tom looked at her. ''Yes?''

 ''Do you want me to be in a patrol?'' She asked.

 ''No, actually. But if you want, you could be in one.'' Brambleclaw meowed.

 ''Yes, please!'' Mist nodded.

 ''All right. I was about to make a border patrol anyway. Take two more cats with you and go patrol the ShadowClan border.'' Brambleclaw told her.

 Mist nodded and turned around, padding away.

 ''Oh, and Mist?'' Brambleclaw called her back.
