Riverpaw sulked around the mostly empty camp. Nearly all of the other apprentices were out with their mentors today learning how to hunt and stalk prey. Normally, Riverpaw would be doing the same but unfortunately for her, Dawnbreak, her mentor, had gotten injured on her last hunt. With Dawnbreak out of commission Riverpaw had a day off from hunting or leaving the camp.
So what was she supposed to do now?
There was only one other cat in the camp around her age that wouldn't be out with a mentor and that was the medicine cat apprentice. Riverpaw slowly padded over to the medicine cat den and peeked in. At first glance she didn't see anyone inside, yet still she hesitated at the entrance to the den, a bit nervous of going inside. Out of all the cats her age, Riverpaw hadn't really interacted with Littlepaw. Everyone in the clan knew of their leaders only remaining daughter but Little had always been so busy learning how to heal the clan that River had rarely seen her out playing with the rest of them. So far Riverpaw hadn't had a need to visit the medicine cat den, which was a bit surprising with Dawnbreak as her mentor.
"Hello?" Riverpaw finally called into the den. "Littlepaw, are you in there?"
