Silverkit's eyes snapped open suddenly.
She had seen another cat in her dreams! A cat that wasn't Moon or Strikestar or Snakepaw or Two-Face. Maybe that she-cat could train her to...
Snakepaw! She glanced up at her mother, pleased to see she was still sleeping, and stood, picking her way over her siblings. She glanced at Grayfur and Willowstar, thankful she didn't wake them. She slipped out of the den, glancing around camp. It was still dark, a thin line of dawn slipping through the trees. No cats in the clearing. She dashed toward the apprentices den, stifling a squeal of delight as she slipped inside. Her eyes narrowed, trying to pick out the pale pelt of Snakepaw.
There! She saw him curled in his nest, Sagepaw curled up in the nest next to his. Very carefully, Silverkit padded over to him, picking her way over stray paws and tails. "Snakepaw," she hissed when she reached him, prodding his side with a paw. "Snakepaw wake up!"
Suddenly, Sagepaw's soft voice filled her ears.
"Silverkit? What are you doing in here?"
Snakepaw grumbled quietly as he opened his eyes to the faint sound of someone calling his name and a jab of a paw in his side. With his brain feeling sluggish and before his eyes adjusted, he thought it was one of his brother's trying to wake him but Sagepaw's voice and the now clear outline of Silverkit made his scramble to his paws. "Silverkit is going to be an apprentice any day now, I've offered to help her adjust, don't worry about it Sagepaw." He whispered to the she-cat, hoping she wouldn't note how offering help was definitely out of his character.
(Totally forgot about Grayfur! Oh my gosh, I need to add her to the pile of my characters)
