The darkness and stench of RogueClan was almost overwhelming, but still the apprentice sat and waited.
Brackenpaw was in a low mood, and entirely confused. How does Darkness know about the prophecy? Why did the RiverClan warrior have to die? and, above all, What in StarClan are Firepaw and myself doing here??
After a moon, Brackenpaw had seen his sister again, and that, too, was shocking. He thought she was a rogue. Had Blossompaw changed her name yet? Who knew?
"I'm sorry I got us into this, Firepaw," he meowed to the RiverClan cat next to him. "If I had known that there was to be an apprentice traded, you would never have needed to come."

Firepaw whiped around to face Brakenpaw. "Why souldn't I have been traded!?!? Because I am a she-cat!!?? Or because you are soooo strong and I am sooo weak," she yowled angrily to the tom, "Maybe because medicine cats are only good with herbs." Firepaw shook her head and looked at the ground. She was just trying to hide her feelings of fear, regret, and sadness.

"No," cried Brackenpaw, looking at Firepaw. "Can you really not understand?"
He sighed. "Look, you're a medicine cat. I know you can defend yourself just as much - but what if Frostpool falls deathly ill and can't treat anyone or talk? Hardly another cat in RiverClan - I think, I may be wrong - knows any helpful herbs but you. If you're stuck here, you can't help anyone. I, on the other hand, only train to give the Clan warriors. Sure, warriors are a good thing, but we're getting so many kits! Maybe we'll have too many mouths to feed. The Clan can spare me - but can they spare you?"
The brown tom shook his head. "Only one cat should have been traded," he meowed. "From WindClan. I still don't see why Hawkflight had to go to RiverClan - it was a pointless journey that only resulted in-"
Brackenpaw took a sharp breath, then went on more quietly. "Only resulted in a death."

Firepaw looked sadly at Brakenpaw. "Leopardstar loved Sharpclaw..." she sighed and then added louder and stonger, "But RiverClan is strong!! Frostpool is strong!! RougeClan needed more reasoning to trade a leader for an apprentice than a prophecy."

Brackenpaw shook his head. "What would they do with Griefstar? Use her to manipulate WindClan?" There was sadness etched into Brackenpaw's voice; after all, Griefstar had been his mentor. "RogueClan knew that they would get something for the leader. Just an apprentice? Why? Why did they take Griefstar at all? Even if they had had her to manipulate our Clan..."
The brown tom's voice trailed off, and he glanced around, searching for the cat that had once been his sister. He had no complete desire to see her, especially at that moment, but the apprentice wanted to know where she was.

"They could have killed her, Hawkflight would become leader, and would be tempted by her brother, Darkness, to join Clans like ShadowClan did," Firepaw hissed.

"What?" said Brackenpaw, momentarily distracted. "What about ShadowClan? Hawkflight would be a good leader - she knows what to do," he argued back. "I have faith in Hawkflight. She knows the warrior code well."
((NOBODY KNOWS about ShadowClan/RogueClan unless a ShadowClan cat tells them - which nobody has had the time to tell Firepaw... just to remind you.))

"I.... I just meant an alliance with them. I don't know why ShadowClan came to mind," Firepaw mewed.

Brackenpaw looked at Firepaw. "Maybe," he meowed. "It does seem like ShadowClan would make an alliance with RogueClan, though. If you were to choose from all the Clans..." He thought momentarily, then shook his head. "I believe that Darkstar - and Hawkflight - would be stronger and smarter than that, though," he meowed. "But what about us? Are we just going to sit here, talking? Boring existance, wouldn't you think?"

"Boring but important," Firepaw hissed. The fluffy orange apprentice sighed and lay down. She looked up at Brakenpaw. He did look handsome.... and he was a nice tom...... Firepaw hissed in annoyance with herself and lookedback down at the ground.

Brackenpaw turned curiously to Firepaw when she hissed, but did not inquire on anything. The orange apprentice was half-hidden in the murky gloom of RogueClan, but nevertheless Brackenpaw felt somewhat of an attraction to her. She was smart, and kind...
Brackenpaw jumped, remembering that he was a WindClan cat. But am I anymore? he thought hesitantly. I no longer serve WindClan while I'm here. There's not much I can do...
The brown tom looked down at Firepaw, trying to organize his thoughts. She reminds me somewhat of Blossompaw, he realized. Only kinder, smarter, and more loyal...

Firepaw looked up at Brakenpaw with a quizical look in her eyes. He was thinking about something..... Maybe he knew what she thought of him!! You can't be with him!! You are of RiverClan and he is of WindClan.... or are we. Even if not you aren't you are a medicine cat apprentice! But then again... Firepaw's thoughts raced. To distract herself she asked him, "Do you have any siblings?"

"Siblings?" asked Brackenpaw blankly, then shook himself. "Umm... yes. I thought I did." The brown tom didn't meet the RiverClan apprentice's eyes, and appeared to be busy settling himself down on the ground.
Why did she ask? he thought quizzically. Does she know that my sister is one of the biggest traitors of WindClan? Or was it just an innocent question?
Speaking of which, he thought distractedly, Blossompaw should be around here somewhere. I wonder where she is?

Firepaw nodded slowly. A familiar scent drifted by her. ShadowClan! A ShadowClan she-cat appeared. Treeleg! What was she doing here? ---------- "What are you two doing here!?" Treeleg yowled in surprise when she saw Brakenpaw and Firepaw.

Brackenpaw immediately got to his paws, a furrow in his brow. "We're just passing by," he meowed carefully. "What are you doing here?"
((What is she doing here?))
