Guppy was still getting used to her newfound freedom. It was a relief, sure, but in a way it felt strange not having her father constantly glancing over her shoulder. She had come here to clear her head, the stress of having an apprentice was getting to her. She really did not feel like she deserved such a pleasure, remembering the way that her brothers and father looked at her when Pikestar announced that she would be taking on an apprentice. It almost felt like anger mixed with vile disappointment, and she had been avoiding them since. Knowing she was certain to get an earful about overstepping from her father the moment she was within his earshot again. She often crossed the river North of the territory when she needed to clear her head, though unfortunately for Guppy, the scent markers were often obscured by the salty scent of the river mixed with the natural scent of mud that caked the surrounding Earth. Her pawpads met the land on the other side, the young warrior blissfully unaware that her pawpads had just touched Skyclan territory.
She licked the water from her paws, sighing. Was this what her life was going to be? Waiting for her father to yell at her? Waiting for him to choose her future and her mate while she sat idly and let him do as he pleased? Her shoulders slumped. She wished it was not the case, but she wasn't sure how to stop it. Sure, Riverclan was great... but no one really caught her eyes. Pikestar and Frostmoth were attractive toms in their own right, but how did she compare to them? That chance encounter with a Thunderclanner had her cheeks flushed for days, but now she spotted him across the border with his tail entwined with another tom. She slumped further. Maybe this was what her future held.
