Mintpaw was relieved to see the sun peek over the horizon. Finally! I'm a Clan cat!
She yawned, stretched, and waited for the others to wake up. Mintpaw suddenly heard a dry cough, then a ginger tabby cat hobbled out of a small den that reeked of sickness. The elderly she cat saw the two new Clan members.
"My name is Sunpelt," she rasped. "So, you two are the new cats?"
Sootfur nodded.
Sunpelt studied them with icy blue eyes. "Mintpaw, the barn cat, right?"
"Yes." she answered. "What were you doing?"
Sunpelt started to answer, but broke into a fit of coughing. When it had passed, she meowed, "I needed some herbs from Cinderpelt for this cough. I was stuck in bed yesterday because of it, so I didn't see you two." She slunk towards the medicine den.
Mintpaw silently resolved to bring Sunpelt some fresh-kill as soon as she learned to hunt.
