Great Job, Ya Maggot.... (Chapter 11)
She didn't know what was reality or a dream anymore. Cinderpaw was in a dream this time though. It showed what was about to happen to someone. Someone important. Maybe the leader? Deputy? Who knows except Cinderpaw?One day all of a sudden all hell broke loose. It was a battle against Riverclan and Thunderclan... AGAIN. Cinderpaw didn't know what to do. While she was busy in her own thoughts the Riverclan deputy went to attack her. She jumped outta the way and kept dodging. Yellowclaw saw all this and ran over to protect her daughter. Both Yellowclaw and the deputy knew that Yellowclaw was stronger. Yellowclaw used to be a warrior before she became a Medicine Cat and she got better training so she easily defeated the Riverclan deputy. Everyone stopped fighting and starred at the now dead Riverclan deputy. It seemed as though he was important somehow. Once this happened all the Riverclan cats retreated and went back to their territory with dragging the now dead Riverclan deputy's body. Cinderpaw noticed that one cat looked sadder than the rest of the cats. She now felt bad. 'I can't do anything about it though.' Cinderpaw sighed as she thought this.
~~ Time Skip ~~
The next day around dawn Cinderpaw had to go find some more herbs out by the lake. She hesitated but went anyway. While she was walking she saw some water mint. She went over to take it but she couldn't. It was snatched away from her the moment she walked over to it. Suddenly she heard a voice.
"Now what is a she-cat like you doing here?"
That cat that called for her was a Riverclan cat that had the water mint beside him. He noticed her looking at it and decided to yell at her. "What?! You think you're getting this when you killed my father?!" Cinderpaw was shocked to hear this. "W-what? N-no! I didn't do it! M-my mother did! I'm sorry!" "Lies." The Riverclan tom chuckled bitterly. He then got walked closer to her and got up in her face and growled. "You watch it. Cause I'll be watching you and your mother." He then got the water mint and walked off to his territory with his tail slashing behind him angrily.
After this encounter, Cinderpaw didn't see him again until the Gathering.
~~ At The Gathering ~~
Cinderpaw had to go to the gathering tonight. She expected it but she didn't expect to see that cat that she met a few days before, talking to Friskpaw. 'I-i'm not going over there... He's kinda scary and I don't wanna be rude.' Cinderpaw thought to herself. She then went over to sit by Foxpaw, a Thunderclan apprentice who gets so much attention. Few minutes later Cinderpaw saw that Friskpaw was walking over to her with the Riverclan tom she saw a few days ago. 'Oh no... Why did Friskpaw have to bring him over?' Cinderpaw thought in a panic but on the outside she was calm. "Hey Cinderpaw! I want you to meet my friend, Brownpaw." Friskpaw said as they tried to introduce us.
'Looks like Friskpaw can't make up their mind about their gender. One eye is blue and the other is purple.' Cinderpaw thought while trying to not reply to Friskpaw. "Wait... You mean to tell me that she is your friend?!" Brownpaw quietly exclaimed in shock as he looked Cinderpaw over. "Yeah... Why?" Friskpaw asked him. Brownpaw sighed and then explained everything that happened in the battle against Riverclan and Thunderclan. "Oh... I'm sorry to hear that Brownpaw." Friskpaw said. Cinderpaw got tired of this jibber-jabber and got up to leave. "Huh? H-hey Cinderpaw wait! Don't leave please!" Friskpaw called out for her. Cinderpaw sighed and sat back down and then the Gathering started. By the time the Gathering ended Cinderpaw and Brownpaw were buddies. Brownpaw finally understood that it was Cinderpaw's mother instead of Cinderpaw.
