5 Chapter 5

It had been almost 2 moons since she had seen Alicepaw. It had been hard on her thinking about what to tell Sagestar or to even tell him, how could she tell him that they had all been wrong, and IsletClan really had powers? Leafpaw felt that she should, it was to help her Clan! But if she did- it felt like a betrayal to Alicepaw, I mean, she hadn't been doing anything wrong, when Leafpaw had caught her, she seemed genuinely sorry that she had trespassed. Leafpaw sighed. Why did this have to be so hard? ¨um, Leafpaw, Sagstar wants to see you in his den¨ said Dewpaw with concern in his voice. ¨Uh, okay. leafpaw said, worried. She trotted outside the apprentices' den and into the leader's den. ¨Welcome Leafpaw.¨ said Sagstar. ¨i was given word that you had met another cat at the border, is this true?¨ ¨Yes Sagestar, I met an IsletClan apprentice whose name is Alicepaw. She had just strayed from the border and I told her to leave our territory, then she disappeared into her territory yelling her name back at me." Sagestar gazed at her. "And there were no injuries or anything suspicious?" no. at least, I don't believe so, she had just strayed, she apologized after so I believe it was just an accident." Leafpaw couldn't believe that the lie had come so quickly, it almost actually sounded believable! Sagestar stared at Leafpaw for a bit and she could have sworn that she saw his eyes flash green. He then finally looked away. "You may go." Leafpaw carefully trotted out of the den, going towards the apprentice's den. When she reached her nest she finally let out the breath she had been holding. That was close, but how did he know I met Alicepaw? Oh, hopefully, she doesn't get in trouble.
