Chapter 8 - Silverpaw

         Silverpaw was pacing back and forth near the apprentice den. 

She was hoping that her friends were alright after the badger attack.

The nervousness flutter around in her stomach like many wild butterflies.

"Silverpaw you alright?"

The sound of Swiftstripe's mew made her jump.

"Oh h-hi Swiftstripe. You startled me," Silverpaw said, her voice shaking.

"Is everything ok?" the cream and brown warrior sat down by her apprentice.

"Yeah everything's fine," she couldn't help but sighing.

Swiftstripe raised a cat brow at her.

"Ok fine! I'm worried about the dawn patrol and there's been family issues and everything is kind of overwhelming right now."

"Would it make you feel better to have a new name?"

It took a second for the black-pawed apprentice to figure out what she meant.

"Wait..." she meowed excitedly after she connected the dots, "I'm going to take my assessment!"

Her mentor grinned.

"Oh Swiftstripe! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Silverpaw felt more happy then she had in a while.

"Well, its about time anyways. You and Lionpaw will be taking it together. I'll see you tomorrow morning bright and early, Silverpaw," Swiftstripe winked before padding off towards the warrior den.

I'm going to be a warrior! I'm going to be made a warrior with the others! Silverpaw thought as she pranced joyfully to the decoration of the medicine den to tell Lionpaw and Fawnpaw.

Then she ran straight into a brown pelt.

"Oh hey, Fawnpaw. I have huge news!" Silverpaw mewed excitedly after recognizing who it was.

"Whoa, wait you're actually talking to me. I thought you would save that energy for Lionpaw," Fawnpaw sneered.

Silverpaw felt her kind smile slide off her face like dripping tree sap.

"W-what?" she said, taken aback.

"Oh don't pretend you didn't do anything princess because you're not the innocent one here."

"Fawnpaw....what in StarClan....why are you being so rude?" Silverpaw asked feeling dread and despair growing in her chest.

"Ok explain Silverpaw. Whats so great about my stupid brother that makes you able to talk to him and not me?" the white-spotted apprentice growled the question in her face.

"He actually was being supportive and kind unlike you. And he's not stupid."

"Don't you start with that crush again. That's the thing that's stupid."

"Fawnpaw won't you quit it! I found out I'm half-clan....part-rouge. There are you happy you know the answer now!" Silverpaw snapped angrily.

"Why didn't you tell me!"

"Because you might have taken it the wrong way. You do that sometimes. You just can't understand other cat's feelings like Lionpaw..."

By the look in Fawnpaw's eyes, Silverpaw instantly knew she said the wrong thing.

"Are you saying Lionpaw's better than me?!" 

A few raindrops fell on the ground.

"No! He's just more supportive than you!" she snarled, her rage finally catching up to her.
