Man, I am loving Cometpaw more and more with each chapter Spades and I write. He's actually turning out to be a more fleshed out character with some issues of his own. Issues that having Lunarpaw as a sister and clanmate aren't helping at all.

To bad he's currently dead in The Lunar Destiny, his sister had to Fus Ro Dah him off a cliff.


"Are you sure you're okay?" Eclipsepaw asked as she and Snakepaw walked beside Firepaw on their way to the MoonClan camp so they could inform Hotstar that the lion was dead. Everyone had just seemed to accept that Lunarpaw had just some how magically and miraculously healed Firepaw, Cometpaw on the other hand was just waiting for him to wake up and learn this had all been a dream caused by a bad mouse.

There is no way Lunarpaw could have powers.

Firepaw gave Eclipsepaw a smile as they walked, he didn't even have a limp in his step, "I'm perfectly fine," he assured her, butting his head against her in a friendly manner, "All thanks to Lunarpaw, I feel better than ever. You really are the best, you know that, Lunarpaw?"

There just wasn't any way that Lunarpaw could just...do all these things she's done.

The NightClan she-cat gave him a wide grin, "No problem, after all there was no way someone as amazing as I could have just let somebody die in front of me," she said an her grin grew, "I mean I wouldn't be so amazing if I let that happen now would I?"

It just wasn't possible that someone as arrogant as Lunarpaw could be born with unbelievable powers!

Cometpaw remained silent, his thoughts just going crazy inside of his head as he trailed behind the others, his head and tail low as he stared at the ground. Despite having actually seen Lunarpaws powers, he still couldn't wrap his mind around it. He couldn't accept the one fact that stood at the core of the entire issue;

Why would StarClan give someone as undeserving as Lunarpaw these powers?

It wasn't that Cometpaw was jealous of her powers, though sure, if he had the chance to have them instead of Lunarpaw he would take it. But it was just that...weren't there some other cats more deserving and more responsible for those powers?

His sister couldn't think past what would benefit her the most, she only acted on what she thought was the best, and she tended to have horrible judgment as she never thought anything through. She also wasn't the brightest one out there. Not to mention she was bossy, arrogant and just consciously or unconsciously a selfish cat.

So why would she be born with these powers?

The red tom was still just struggling to try and understand why StarClan would give his sister these powers, there had to be a good reason. StarClan was wise, and there was no way StarClan would have given Lunarpaw these powers without good reason or good judgment.

"I just have to trust StarClan...that this is a good thing," Cometpaw mumbled to himself.

And hope this doesn't all just blow up in your face like most of what she does.

He shook his head to himself to try and get those thoughts out of his head as he looked up ahead of them while they entered the MoonClan camp. For some reason, and much to his surprise, the warriors didn't say anything about their presence in their camp. Instead they carried on with their duties as thought the non MoonClan apprentices were a normal part of their daily lives.

They actually were greeting the group pleasantly, not an bit of suspicion at them being there at all.

It freaked Cometpaw out.

A lot.

This isn't right. This isn't right! They should be on edge! They should be watching us, guards up and suspicion high! Why are they so relaxed about seeing NightClan, SunClan and DayClan cats in their camp without invitation?

The red tom was very freaked out about this.

But the group stopped before a rotting log where atop of it sat the MoonClan leader Hotstar. Below, sitting in front of the log was the clans deputy, Phoenixblaze and beside him was the clans medicine cat. Tigerbarb was the cats name, Cometpaw thought.

"You killed the tiger!" Hotstar declared with joy and pride, and his comment confused Cometpaw a lot.

We didn't kill a tiger.

Why...why did Hotstar say that they killed a tiger? Did he just get the name mixed up? No, a cat wouldn't get the wrong animal if that animal had been terrorizing them for as long as the lion had been.

The clan leader leapt off of the log and made a bowing stance towards the group of apprentices. No, he wasn't bowing towards them, he was bowing to Lunarpaw. "I, MoonClans leader, am forever in your debt, as is my clan."

The she-cat just grinned at him, "It was nothing, the tiger was easy to kill," she boasted.

"But we didn't kill a tiger," Cometpaw mumbled and soon regretted it when the other apprentices gave him harsh glares. They then began shouting at him that 'yes they did kill a tiger', and that he was just a liar for saying they didn't.

But he wasn't lying, they hadn't killed a tiger. They had killed a lion, so why were they calling him a liar?

I told you that you were better off keeping that dumb mouth of yours shut! he thought bitterly to himself as he glared at the ground once again. Why was it that ever time he spoke, people got mad at him? It's because everything you say is just some fox-dung that pisses the others off. Why not take a lesson from your mentor and learn to stop talking all together. Then maybe the others will stop hating you because you say stupid stuff.

Hotstar seemed to have not noticed or chosen to ignore the small scene before him and smiled at Lunarpaw with admiration, "Lunarpaw, if there is ever anything that MoonClan can help you with, do not hesitate to ask," he promised.

Why is that idiot saying that! Lunarpaw wasn't the only one who fought the lion, we fought it too!

Cometpaw dug his claws into the ground but refrained from saying anything while Lunarpaw thanked the clan leader who then left. Deciding that he himself had overstayed his welcome, the red tom turned around and let the camp, making his way back to the NightClan territory.

"Why was she getting such special attention?" Cometpaw asked as he walked, he was unaware of the bitterness that was starting to form in his heart. "It's not like she faced the lion on her own, we all fought! So just...why is it that everyone treats her like she's a gift from StarClan?"

The red apprentice gave out a bitter and sarcastic laugh, "Come on, I'm just as good a fighter as she is, at least I listen to my mentor, all Lunarpaw does is order Graniteheart around," he then changed his voice to a high pitch as he began mocking his sister, "'Oh, Graniteheart! I don't want to do a patrol, I want to train!', 'Graniteheart, I'm not going to train, I'm hunting today!', 'I don't need you to teach me anything, I already know more then you do!', blah, blah blah."

A heavy scowl set onto his face as he walked, that scowl turned into a pained expression.

"The clan doesn't care that she's a jerk, they don't even notice that she's a jerk," he said as he walked, "To them, she's the most perfect cat to ever live, and I'm just some mean grouchy tom who hates the entire world."

Lets face it, they don't care about you, not when there's Lunarpaw. They probably wouldn't even noticed if you left or died.

"You're probably right," Cometpaw mumbled to himself as he walked, his tail drooped low in defeat, "Though I know Mom would notice...so would Echopaw and Blueflame."

Yeah, until they become hypnotized by the 'perfection' that is Lunarpaw.

Cometpaw stopped as he crossed the NightClan boarder, "Maybe I shouldn't have even been born, I mean its not like me being around even matters."

Now you're starting to realize it, you mouse-brain. You're completely worthless to your clan, you always have been, you always will be.

The red tom started walking again, letting out a bitter laugh.

"Its funny how the only reasonable conversation I seem to have is with myself," he said shaking his head but there wasn't any amusement in his expression.
