[atrb=background,http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/6111/frostbitemidcopy.jpg,true] The white medicine cat opened up her eyes to see it was still dark out. A cool wind blew into her den as she just looked out of the den. Waiting. No one else was up but her. She always started her job early. Getting up and stretching she found that she was in her den. Shaking her head she thought about checking on her leader but she decided to let him get his sleep. Giving a yawn that lasted about a good sixty seconds she turned to her piles of herbs and found she was well.. really good on how much she has. Raising her eyebrows she finally came to the conclusion about her not having a life but looking for herbs. Yet that was her job none the less. Taking in a deep breath and letting it out she thought about all four of them. Her kits. That still didnt know who she was. It was killing her on the inside. Seeing them play in the camp and chatting with their father broke her heart. She was just seen as the grumpy medicine cat. Not a mother.. No one knew she was their mother. Thats how it was going to stay. Padding out of her den her eyes adjusted to the night. The sun would be up in a few minutes and she really had no need to go out of camp today. She was all set and ready to go. Her stomach growled but this cat ignored it. She would go hunting later in the day if she needed. Usually her hunger died down quickly and she would go with out food. Looking towards skystars den she gave a soft blink. He had already lost a life. no cat could keep that from her. She lied outside not far from her den and watched the camp. She then decided to clean herself and look presentable for her clan and also her family.

The white and gray she-cat padded out of the apprentices den. She blinked her blue eyes as the bright rays of the sun hit her lids. She kept them closed for a moment and then opened them slowly to allow for adjusting. The leaders daughter scanned the clearing. She was just made an apprentice and she didn't know how to hunt properly so going hunting was just out of the question. She knew that battle training was also out of the question. She didn't know how to fight.

Brookpaw looked down at her downy dark gray paws and walked forward. She was dazed and often retreated into her own little world. She became unaware of what was happening around her. She often ran into cats or talked to herself. This time it was Frostbite who she ran into. With a loud CLUD sound she fell backwards and shook herself back into reality. Her eyes widened when she realized who she had hit.

"Frostbite I am SO SORRY! IT's early and I didn't see you. Oh please don't tell Skystar that I wasn't being a good apprentice. Stormpaw said you were awfully grumpy and I don't wany my dad yelling at me! Oh and Hazelpaw said you almost clawed her ears off for talking so much...oh here I am rambling..yeah I'm sorry Frostbite!" the she-cats ears pulled back and her whiskers twitched. She didn't want to get her ears clawed or her tail bitten off. She had heard stories about Frostbite as a kit."Don't tell my mom Snowberry either she will never let me hear the end of it....perhaps I can help find herbs?"

[atrb=background,http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/6111/frostbitemidcopy.jpg,true] The medicine cat jolted up and looked at who ran into. Her body relaxed but her eyes stayed hard on the apprentice. This wasnt just any apprentice. This was her daughter. Raising her eyebrow as Brookpaw rambled on and on she was ready to slap her and tell her to shut up. Yet she could never have the heart to talk to her daughter in that way. sitting quiet and waited for the apprentice to finish she elet out a sigh of relief and mewed "Thank starclan your done talking."

[/b]

She looked down at the leaders daughter and stayed quiet for a bit. Dont tell her mother? Snowberry wasnt her mother.. she was. Then again bring that up at a time like this wouldnt be the smartest idea. Looking towards skystars den then back at her daughter she got a wicked smile on her face.

"Well Brookpaw.. is it? I think it would be a great idea to help me go herb looking. Warriors actually pay attention when walking. you cant do something as easy as that I just might have a word with skystar about that.."[/b] Padding towards the enternce of the camp she glanced at the leaders den and then back at the leaders daughter.

"well dont stand there thinking the herbs are going to walk up to you! Get your tail over here!"[/b]

Brookpaw muttered a few words to herself. She was going to tell her father. That would be the end of it for her. She would be on apprentice duty until she went to StarClan. She followed shortly after the medicine cat yelled. Hazelpaw and Stormpaw was right she was grumpy. No wonder why everyone avoided her den. Her pelt bristled as she walked preparing for yet another outbreak of her biter tone. However, she did notice that Frostbite looked at her like a mother would her kit. Brookpaw didn't notice it with anyone else. She certainly did NOT want to be a medicine cat if that's what she was hinting at. NO WAY. Not even if the great Rowanstar himself came down she would not do it.

She kept her eyes ahead of her making sure not to zone out."Please don't talk to my dad, he will tell my mom and Ill be on apprentice duties until I go to Starclan." she mewed while looking around. She had no idea what she was doing or what she was even looking for."So what exactly am I looking for Frostbite? I honestly don't have a clue?"

[atrb=background,http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/6111/frostbitemidcopy.jpg,true] "Please don't talk to my dad, he will tell my mom and Ill be on apprentice duties until I go to Starclan." "Well sucks to be you dont it?"

[/b]

The medicine cat snapped not looking at the she cat. If this cat ever did let her guard down when it came to her own daughters and sons. Padding out of camp with Brookpaw at her heels she really wasnt looking for anything at all. She was set on herbs and everything but will it hurt to keep adding the her medicine pile?

Of course not. Ignoring the words of Brookpaw asking what she was suppose to be looking for her mind wandered to her true mate. Skystar. She almost forgot that the apprentice was with her. Well she did bring her out here she was just about to pen up her mouth until..

"Nice going Brookpaw! what did you do this time to piss off the medicine cat?"[/b] the voice of Patchpaw came out from the bushes and into the view. The patchy grey and white apprentice stood not to far from the two cats and looked back and foreth.

"Ok first off this medicine cat has a name I suggest you use it until I start calling you hairball up my butt from now until the day you die. Second who's with you? You dont have a mentor yet so why are you out all by yourself.?"[/b]

Patchpaw let her fur fluff out a bit and mewed

"I'm not out all by myself thank you I'm with you and brookpaw arent I?"[/b]

Frostbite rolled her eyes and wished she could leave these two here and just snuggle with Skystar but sadly that would never happen.

"Keep this up and I'll make sure your father knows about the lip your giving me along with your mother then they can deal with you "[/b]

Patchpaw shut her mouth but kept a good glare on the medicine cat.

"Well sorry to say but I feel somewhat sorry for you Brookpaw. I dont know whats up her butt this morning but whatever it is I feel like it needs to come out.."[/b]

Brookpaw raised a brow and narrowed her eyes at the white she-cat before muttering a few words to herself yeah it did suck. A lot. She snorted before padding past the white she-cat. She was about to speak when the voice of her sister came from the bushes. The white and gray stripped apprentice ran to her sister before touching noses with her gently. She asked what she had did to make the medicine cat angry but Frostbite interuupted her.

"Ok first off this medicine cat has a name I suggest you use it until I start calling you hairball up my butt from now until the day you die. Second who's with you? You dont have a mentor yet so why are you out all by yourself.?"

Brookpaw was about to speak before Patchpaw went at it again. That she-cat didn't know when to stop. Maybe this is why she was always in trouble with dad. Brookpaw snickered."I wasn't watching where I was going this morning and I ran into her. In order to not get in trouble with dad for being so clutsy I offfered to help her find herbs then you appeared.d The she-cat mewed.

She let out a snort at her sisters last comment which was then followed by a warm purr. She brushed her tail against her sisters flank and smiled. the two were close which was nice."Frostbite, you still haven't told me what I'm looking for, how can I help you if you won't tell me...what's on your mind?"

[atrb=background,http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/6111/frostbitemidcopy.jpg,true] Frostbite took a seat and just listened to the apprentices ramble. She really had no idea why she took Brookpaw out in the first place. so much for quality time with her daughter. Staying silent after Brookpaw asked her what was on her mind she could start naming things right off the bat. Staying silent she just looked at Brookpaw and then at Patchpaw. Patchpaw stood next to her sister and just looked at the medicine cat. Narrowing her eyes she looked at the medicine cat closely. "do we have a staring problem?"

[/b]

The medicine cat snapped. Frostbite looked at Brookpaw and hissed,

"Brookpaw we are looking for Cobweb you know what that is? good and you!"[/b]

Frostbite snapped at Patchpaw.

"Your gonna look for poppyseeds. I dont wanna hear another word from either of you unless you find what I sent you to look for got it?"[/b]

Patchpaw flattened her ears and gave a low growl. She didnt want to be dragged into this. Sadly she was. Patchpaw followed the medicine cat brushing against her sister.

Brookpaw pressed her ears against her head and let out an annoyed hissed."I'm not a complete mousebrain you know." Her blue eyes narrowed at the white she-cat No wonder why Hazelpaw and Stormpaw said to stay away from this mangey white peice of. Her thoughts trailed off when her sister brushed up against her as they walked together. Her whiskers twitchedd and she rolled her eyes. She was glad she had the relationship with her sister that she did. She wasn't really close with Stormpaw, Snowpaw or Hazelpaw for that matter. She didn't know what would happen if she didn't have her.

She leaned in and gave her a swift lick."Maybe this is why Medicine cats can't have kits because....NO ONE would want to mate with them anyways....and if it did happen they wouldn't want to pass the traits on to the kits..." she whispered...

[atrb=background,http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/6111/frostbitemidcopy.jpg,true] "Got that right.."

[/b]

Patchpaw whispered back to her sister. Looking at the medicine cat she thought about how many mates this cat ever got in her lifetime. What could toms see in her? nothing. But a cold black hearted attitude towards her clan.

"I bet she doesnt even like Thunderclan.. let alone her job in the clan. Starclan must have been dropped on their heads for making such a mean cat heal others. i'm telling you brookpaw I would have the Shaowclan medicine cat help me if I was on the verge of dying then have our own touch me just once."[/b]

Frostbite tuned in and out of the two conversations that were going on behind her. She didnt give two dungs about what they were saying. Yet did it hurt hearing it? Of course. Stopping in her tracks Patchpaw almost ran into her and hissed,

"Hey?! whats the big idea? Wanna warn someone before you just suddenyl stop infront of someone?"[/b]

Frostbite looked back and raised her eyebrow and looked past patchpaw. Patchpaw looked back and saw what frostbite was looking at. Cobweb. What she was sent to look for. Patchpaw rolled her eyes and got some in her mouth. Padding up next to her sister all she could do now was glare at the frosty medicine cat.

Frostbite gave a smirk and mewed, "Next time I wont stop walking if we come to a cliff and see what you do then.. how does that sound?"

The young apprentice flattened her ears back and growled.

"My my Skystar and Snowberry do have their paws fill. Starclan knows how the rest of your brothers act."[/b]

With that the medicien cat started walking.

Brookpaw giggled when her sister made her devious comment. She did however run into frostbite a second time. She looked where Frostbite stared and muttered a few words to herself. In unison the two sisters walked together and she too grabbed some cobweb. Seriously what crawled into her fur and died? She raised a skeptic brown when the she-cat commented about her mother and father.

Brookpaw pulled her ears back and narrowed her eyes."You have something against Stormpaw Snowpaw and Hazelpaw? I'll have you know that they are training hard to become warriors you know. THey will make the clan proud and you will be jelous when ShadowClan attacks and THEY have to save you." Brookpaw thought that was a good comeback.

Brookpaw looked at Frostbite before parting her jaws to speak again."My family is very important to me and I will defend them. Just because you won't ever have people to protect as family doesn't mean you can continuely harass my siblings!"

[atrb=background,http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/6111/frostbitemidcopy.jpg,true] Frostbite rolled her eyes and really didnt give one care in the world about what the apprentices were saying. Maybe it was a mistake to bring these two with. Patchpaw smirked with her sisters word and what was said. They finally got the medicine cat to shut up for once. Go them! Patchpaw followed the medicine cat and knew she was going to be the best warrior this clan has ever seen. "So is this why you dont have an apprentice? Because your so mean? The day I see Frostbite get an apprentice is the day I'll do my apprentice duties with out being asked let alone told."

[/b] patchpaw mewed looking at her sister.

Frostbite didnt turn around for the comment but ketp her eyes forward. Her white fur pulled back when a gust of wind blew at her. Narrowinf her eyes against the wind she then gave a shake and kept on walking.

"I'm sure skystar is afraid to give you an apprentice anyway. Before we know it we might have a tailless medicien cat apprentice running around and we will know why she is tailless. Sadly.. someone will have to take after you and you will need to teach someone.. I am gonna feel sorry for whoever that will be..."[/b]

[/size][/color][/blockquote][/blockquote][/td][/tr][tr][td][/td][/tr][/table][/center]

[Thorn]

Brookpaw wasn't going to lie, she had contemplated becoming Frostbites apprentice but quickly changed her mind She thought about her dad he wouldn't be scared to would he? I mean he spent time with the medicine cat occasionally. She knew that because she had seen it before. Frostbite had gone to his den and didn't come out for a very long time. She ignored her sisters comment but flicked her hear to show she had heard it.

The gray and white apprentice eyed Frostbite. Maybe she just needed a friend to spend time with. She wanted to pad up closer to the white she-cat but knew Patchpaw would certainly make fun of her for it."I got a nice wad of cobweb Frostbite. Anything else you need? Nightowl said he was going to teach me battle moves today!:

[Frostbite }}]

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][atrb=width,500,true]

[atrb=background,http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/6111/frostbitemidcopy.jpg,true] Finally a reason for them to get away from her! Frostbite turned around and mewed, "Ok fine brookpaw go out and practive battles moves with your mentor whoever that would be do i care nope so dont plan on telling me. and you, Patchpaw go bother someone who will actually listen to you. Sadly this whole time you have been talking i havent heard one word. Shows that what you say is important.."

[/b]

Frostbite raised an eyebrow at the apprentices and went on,

"I will take your cobweb and you both can be on your merry way. I need to be heading back anyways to the den. Chow!

Taking the web from both apprentices she padded past them and trotted back to the camp.

Patchpaw watched the medicine cat go and growled.

"Again I feel sorry for whoever gets her as a mentor. Well Brookpaw its been real. I should go back to camp to befire Skystar has a fit.."

With that Patchpaw trotted back to the camp leaving her sister alone.
