Northwind ignored the eariler satement of Brokenpath's best friend knwoing at one point that is what he had been. "I think he cares. But dont you think it takes a while to get anywhere for him? He cant just run from where ever he was to where you were could he? Be realistic. How can you expect him to know what was going on far away from him." Northwind gave a soft sigh.
Wingpaw looked at the ground. "Okay, whatever..." He said and coughed. He stood up and limped past brokenpath. He saw Dreamclan and walked to it. He looked at the medicine cat den and limped over to it. He flicked his tail to Northwind in goodbye and walked into it. He looked at featherpaw, who seemed to be sleeping and he looked around. "Thornleaf...?"

Northwind gave a short snort and headed back to the warriors den. Hopefully the half pint wouldnt get in to anymore trouble. The little white apprentice had a knack for making mistakes and was a magnet for trouble. Northwind gave a short laugh and relfected on what Wingpaw had said. Brokenpath's best friend was the reason he hated Wingpaw? Well that was interesting. Northwind hadnt really talked to the deputy ever since the black tom got himself hurt on the thunderpath. Perhaps his new best friend had done somthing to him to make him angry. Well whatever teh reason Northwind just let it go and did even give it a second glance.
Thornleaf looked up at the young apprentice standing outside. He sighed, licked his fur, and managed to get up. "I'm an old furball...." he muttered. His fur still sticking out after he groomed it, padded out the den, and to Wingpaw. "Yes Wingpaw??..." he asked politely, trying to stifle a big yawn. He didn't have a great sleep. His honey-colored eyes red from sleepieness, he looked at Wingpaw. "What did you want?" Thornleaf sat down and started grooming his thick, ruffled pelt, waiting for the apprentice to answer him.
Wingpaw looked up at the tired medicine cat. "Well, as you can see i'm covered in blood..." He murmured. "I got attacked by a fox while trying to find brokenpath and riverpaw." He looked at the warriors den and added, "Northwind came to help me. He chased the fox away." He looked back at thornleaf. "So can you help me or are you to tired?"

Thornleaf stared at the apprentice, then gasped. "OH!" he exclaimed. "I'm so sorry! I didn't notice you..." He ran into his den and came back with a pile of cobwebs and one juniper berry. "Here.. eat this," he said, pushing the berry toward Wingpaw while he gentley pressed the cobwebs against the apprentice's bloody pelt. "Does that hurt?" he asked Wingpaw. "Tell me if it does..."
Wingpaw made a small sound. It did hurt, but he had to deal with it. "Nah..." He said. He looked down at the juniper berry and bent down to sniff it. He sighed then ate it. He hated the taste of juniper berrys. He swallowed then looked up and thornleaf. "So...You never got to tell me about my mother..." He murmured. "Was she a good medicine cat? Was she anything like my father?"

Thornleaf smiled at Wingpaw. "Your mother was the most beautiful cat in DreamClan. Her beautiful eyes always shined... her smile so big. She was nice and understanding, but yet fierce and strong. She also taught me so well. Spottedfur.. was her name, and.. you do remind me of her." He smiled at the apprentice. "Very much. The eyes are the same... the smile, too. Your personality is so like your mothers...." His voice trailed off when he thought of his old mento r. "Unfortunately, she fell in love with Northwind, your father, and had you. She died soon after from two-legs." Thornleaf stared at Wingpaw's expression, then went on. "Northwind, your father, was a handsome tom. He was strong and strict, but very loyal to DreamClan. Legends say he died along with your mother.. but I think he's still alive, and mated another cat.." He stared at Wingpaw, who looked weird. "Hope that helped.." he muttered.
Wingpaws eyes went wide. "Wait...What are you talking about..." He whispered. "Northwind is not my father." He looked at the warriors den. "No...Northwind is just my friend...Well, kind of." He looked back at thornleaf. "There is no way that northwind is my dad. He didn't remember anything about my mother and he doesn't treat me like id be his son."

Thornleaf smiled at Wingpaw politely. "Northwind is your father, believe me. He ran away when you were born; he was scared of taking care of a child. He's faking about now knowing your mother, or you. He's your father." Thornleaf licked Wingpaw's ear. "You were brave, fighting off that fox. Go on to sleep now, you should get some rest." He nudged the apprentice toward the apprentices' den, and before he left, THornleaf whispered, 'Northwind loves you like a father would."
