Blinded by the Truth (Jayfeather x reader)

Chapter 24

Berrypaw bounded to Blossompaw and Snowpaw the moment they got back from patrol and told them everything. Blossompaw looked shocked, and Snowpaw looked as if he could kill Jaypaw. Sandstorm eyed them suspiciously, knowing that whenever the four of them were together, something bad would happen.

"Go behind the nursery?" Snowpaw suggested. His littermates nodded.

"We got you, [Y/A/N]," Berrypaw whispered.

As they followed the normal path behind the nursery, three other heads met them inside. Glowing jayfeather-blue eyes glared at [Y/A/N]. "What are you doing here?" He snapped.

"Talking," Snowpaw mewed curtly. "This is our spot, so move."

"We're a moon older than you," Lionpaw growled, baring his teeth.

Berrypaw looked uneasy. "We should go.."

"No!" Blossompaw hissed. "This is our spot, and we'll fight you for it!"

Lionpaw unsheathed his claws while Hollypaw muttered something about it being 'against the warrior code'.

"Let's go," [Y/A/N] sighed. Her littermates exchanged glances but complied.

"Don't look so sad," Snowpaw meowed, catching up to her.

"Why does Jaypaw have to get everything first?" [Y/A/N] sobbed, her voice breaking at the end.

"Don't cry!" Blossompaw gasped, pressing her side to [Y/A/N]'s. "You know what, maybe it's time to get out of camp for a while. I smell nice scents coming from the Twolegplace, wanna go check it out?"

Berrypaw's eyes widened. "We can't!" But it was too late. Blossompaw had already gotten permission from all four mentors.

"There's no going back now!" She chirped and skipped out of camp.

***

[Y/A/N] followed her littermates, uncertainty gnawing at her insides. "We should go back," she shuddered, jumping back from an abnormally large spider on the Twoleg wall.

"No! This is fun," Snowpaw purred, and crawled into one of the Twoleg bones. "Something's different." Snowpaw slid through one of the holes of the Twoleg set of bones. "I like it."

"Twoleg kits!" Berrypaw yowled. Her fear gave away to amusement. "What are they doing?"

The Twolegs looked even weirder than they usually did, they coloured their faces, and even their pelts have changed. "Beats me. Want to get some food?" Snowpaw suggested. Blossompaw nodded vigorously and sniffed the air.

"There!" The four apprentices followed Blossompaw to a Twoleg den. "See that basket? It has so much food in it, and it smells good!"

"We could die," Berrypaw said uncertainly. "It might be poisonous."

Blossompaw grabbed a mouthful of Twoleg food and tossed a piece each to her littermates. Behind her, a crowd of Twoleg kits were yowling something at a Twoleg den. [Y/A/N] half expected the Twoleg of the den to come out and yell at the kits, but instead, the owner, a female Twoleg, smiled warmly and passed each Twoleg kit a few pieces of the sweet Twoleg food.

"Twolegs are weird," Berrypaw meowed, munching on her Twoleg treats. "But this was worth it."

Bonus: Wanna know why Berrypaw's called Berrypaw? In my original draft, Sunbeam and Nightheart were supposed to be the parents instead of Firestar and Sandstorm bec like their relationship is adorable, but it's kinda creepy bec like the age difference between [Y/A/N] and Jaypaw would be at least 5 human years. AT LEAST. Uh, anyways, Berrypaw's supposed to be named after Berryheart bec Sunbeam thought that she wanted to honour Berryheart as a good mother and so on. Oh yes btw this chapter is the Halloween special.
