The Mountins (Jayfeather/Half Moon)

Chapter 5 -Jaypaw

Jaypaws POV

It had been a few moon rises since the fight between the apprentices and to-bes, and everything had gone back to normal.

The tribe cats had gotten way better at fighting, especially Half Moon. He hadn't talked to her since the fight. She stopped trying to talk to him, and had left him alone.

I don't care, she was annoying anyways.

Hollypaw and Lionpaw were always busy, so Jaypaw spent most of his time alone in the cave. Jaypaw had explored every den, and knew his way around perfectly. He had trouble sleeping at night, since he didnt do anything during the day. He had become 10 times more grumpy.

Lionpaw and Hollypaw had gone out with Squirrelflight on a border patrol.

The tribe had started passing out food, and were splitting into groups. Since his siblings were gone, Jaypaw had no one to eat with. His belly grumbled, but he didnt feel like talking to any of the tribe cats.

Maybe I should go explore... Jaypaw thought, then sighed, I've explored every tiny dip in this cave by now.

Jaypaw heard a cat walking towards him, and lifted his head. He instantly realized it was Half Moon. He could feel nervousness radiating off of her, but also a strong determination.

When she reached him, she opend her mouth to say something, but Jaypaw beat her to it.

"Long time no see, huh." He commented.

Half Moom winced. "I figured you'd be mad, I did attack your sister." She said.

Jaypaw felt a little shocked, "You didn't attack her, she jumped you first." Jaypaw pointed out, "But it's in the past. What's done is done." He pointed out.

Half Moon nodded, and seemed to get really happy. "I thought we could eat together. Screech and Pebble are out hunting."

"So I'm your backup." Jaypaw said drily.

Half Moon gasped, "No! I mean... you usually eat with your siblings... i..... your joking." She realized.

Jaypaw chuckled a little, "What are we eating."

"Leftover rabbit that Brook gave me." She said, then added, "Let me go grab it." And dashed off.

She came back a moment later, the half eaten rabbit in her mouth. They started to eat in slightly awkward silence.

Finally, Half Moon broke the silence. Jaypaw wasnt sure if he was glad or not. "So, Hollypaw already told me why she hated me, because of the code. So now you have to tell me the story of your awesome grandpa." Half Moon stated.

Instead of the instant irritation Jaypaw usually felt when a cat made him do something, Jaypaw felt amused. "We'll, the cats name was Tigerclaw. He was a warrior when Bluestar was leading Thunderclan. He died before I was born. Firestar, our current leader, was born a kittypet-"

"A kittypet? That means born in a two leg nest, right? Aren't all kittypets soft cats who rely on their two legs, why did the cats let him become leader?" Half Moon interupted him with a bunch of questions.

"Yes, kittypets are cats who live with two legs. But Firestar was diffrent. Now listen." Jaypaw hissed, irritated she interupted, "Out medicine cat at the time, Spottedleaf, received a prophecy, "Fire alone can save the clan...."

Jaypaw spent the rest of the evening telling the story of Tigerstar and Firestar. Half Moon interupted a bunch, and each time Jaypaw snapped at her.
