Okay, so I have finally stabilized my ideas for this story so I won't be rushing as much on this chapter anymore. I really appreciate the support all of you are giving me. The views alone are enough to keep me going, but I do like to hear your inputs as well. So here is Chapter 8! Please enjoy!
Blackpaw opened her eyes slowly, feeling quite refreshed. I feel as if I had just gotten a good rest. She thought to herself. She stood and stretched, purring happily. As she took in the scenery around her, she realized that she was no longer in the camp. In fact, she had no idea where she was.
Dark trees lined the field she was standing in and she could smell the scent of something rotting. She flattened her ears and coughed, wanting to get rid of the smell. She warily padded towards the trees, looking for a way to get out. This place looks awfully familiar… she thought, looking at the tall trees and frowning.
"Going somewhere?" A voice growled behind her, and before she was able to react, the cat had her pinned to the ground. Blackpaw spat in the cat's face and leapt forward, pinning the bigger cat down and bouncing back, away from the cat's reach. It sat up and began to groom itself. Blackpaw frowned slightly as she noticed that the cat's figure seemed to blend in with the trees behind it.
"You seem to have a lot of potential, especially with that strength that you have." The cat, a female, looked at Blackpaw with light green eyes. "I'm Pebblesong, your mentor here in the Darkforest. And you are here because I need to train you."
"Train me for what?" Blackpaw asked warily, her tail lashing out. Pebblesong giggled.
"Train you on how to fight." Pebblesong stood and began to pad further into the trees, leaving a slightly worried Blackpaw to scram after her.
Sorry for it being short but I wanted to put something up so you all will know that I am still writing this story. Plus my docs isn't working at the moment. Please bear with me! Part two will be uploaded very soon.
