Chapter 11

   Flowerpaw inched her way towards the medicine cat den. She had just gotten back from training with her mentor. She had promised her brother last night she would apoligize to Snowpaw. She just didn't know how.
   "Something wrong?" Leafwind had asked.
   Flowerpaw stuttered, "Uh, ye- I mean no. I just need to see Snowpaw for a quick moment, please?"
   Flowerpaw watched as Leafwind's eyes trailed to the floor. "About that... You see, Fawnstar specifically told me not to let you see her. Only for safety reasons of course."
   The apprentice looked stunned. "You don't understand! I have to apoligize to her."
   "Eh... Cloudpaw!" Leafwind called. She heard rustling in the back of the den and saw the white half-blind apprentice step out.
   "Yes, Leafwind?" she had sounded utterly exhausted.
   "Take Flowerpaw to see Snowpaw. If anything goes wrong, escort her out, alright?" Leafwind mewed.
   Cloudpaw nodded. She turned and led the way to Snowpaw.
   She looked horrible. Her tail was wrapped in soaked blood-red cobwebs. Her neck was covered in green herbs, the juice of the herb all over the scratches on her body. Her pelt was horrifying, muffled and smelled for having not being washed for a while.
   "Snowpaw, visitor." Cloudpaw meowed without expression.
   Snowpaw opened her eyes to tiny slits, and when she had seen Flowerpaw, she had opened her eyes wide. She called to Cloudpaw, "Please stay in here! Please!"
   Cloudpaw looked awkwardly at her. Flowerpaw spoke, "I'm not her for more destruction. I know apoligizing won't be enough to repay my mistakes, but I must say I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything. I shouldn't have gotten in the way of you two and I should've let you stay together in peace."
   Snowpaw kept staring at her in awe. She hesitated before she spoke, then replied with nothing more than, "Fine."
   Cloudpaw stood, and escorted Flowerpaw out. Flowerpaw had not wanted to leave though, she wanted to hear more. But she got her to forgive her and that was all she needed to hear.
   Flowerpaw looked for her brother, excited to tell him the news. Yet when she had reached the apprentice den, he was not there. Probably with his mentor, Flowerpaw thought.
   Then, she heard it.
