SIMPLE SATISFACTIONS [OPEN]

Greypaw padded into camp. She had just returned from a long border patrol with her mentor. Her paws felt like stone as she padded through camp. Her bright yellow eyes scanned for any sign of her brothers, but there was none. Brackenpaw and Thornpaw must still be out... Her eyes drifted over to the medicine cat den. Her brother, Bluepaw, was probably in there. It seemed that after their apprenticeship he had began to visit the medicine cat den even more so than before. It was almost as if he were really the medicine cat apprentice and not just a normal apprentice. Why didn't he become the medicine cat apprentice? She pondered. Could it be that Larchfrost wouldn't take him as one? The grey she-cat knew the medicine cat was not the best tempered, but surely not enough not to accept a new cat to train?

The thoughts faded from her mind as the warm scent of prey drift from the pile and into her nose. She hadn't eaten anything since sunrise. Her belly let out a load grumble before she headed toward the pile to pick out a tasty looking rabbit. As she scooped it up she headed to lay down just a little ways away from the apprentice den. Just before she was about to take a bit she noticed out of the corner of her eye that Bluepaw was emerging from the medicine cat den. Her eyes brightened.

"Bluepaw!" She called out. She motioned with her tail for him to come sit by her.
