Thanks for the suggestions! :D
Mosspaw padded out of the apprentice den, her wound was all healed and she had been taking training easily, except for in the Dark Forest. Skypaw pushed her around and even tried killing her twice but the shimmering warrior seemed like he could not care less, and without Snowstep there she felt unwelcomed by being the only Thunderclan cat. Snowstep now practiced with the other warriors.
Mosspaw looked around camp, it was busy today because leaf-bare was coming up and they had to make some of the dens bigger and go on extra hunting patrols.
Around camp Squirrleflight organized patroles, Briarlight chatted with her siblings before they went off on patrol, Brambestar helped with making dens bigger, the elders ate by the fresh kill pile, and Foxleap padded into camp with a few other warriors.
"There you are Mosspaw." Toadstep mewed. "Squirrelflight wants you to help with the warriors den and making it bigger." He led the way to the den ware Bramblestar and a few warriors where adding branches and twigs the den.
"Okay, Brightheart you go help on patrols now that Mosspaw is help with this." Bramblestar mewed as he saw them approaching.
Brightheart nodded and then left. Mosspaw remembered when she was bothered by Brightheart's one-eyed stare but now she was used to it.
Mosspaw helped pick up some of the branches and put them on the den, they entwined them carefully into the den to make it bigger then added sticks and hold it up. Before long they where done and it had reached sun high.
"Mosspaw, your needed on a hunting patrol with me." Sunpaw mewed, walking over to her. He already looked tired from doing a boarder patrol and then helping a little with making the warriors den bigger, but Mosspaw carrying large bunndles of sticks and branches and twigs into camp and felt just fine.
Again she thought that was weird. "Okay, lets go." Mosspaw mewed and Sunpaw lead the way to a group of warriors. There was Toadstep and Foxleap and Icecloud.
"Lets go." Icecloud mewed and left, quickly followed by the rest of the patrol.
When they got back, they had caught a rabbit, two voles, and a skinny mouse. Mosspaw was proud to have gotten the rabbit because all the rest of the patrole looked exhausted. They put their prey on the fresh kill pile and then padded to their dens. It was turning dark quickly and everyone was tired.
Mosspaw padddd to her nest with Sunpaw and watched as he flopped down into his and fall asleep right away. Tomorrow was not going to be as busy because they had finished the dens, but there will still be extra hunting patrols because leaf-bare is only a few days away.
Mosspaw listened to the den for a moment, it had seemed awfully quite now that the older apprentices had left. She soon fell asleep.
Mosspaw woke in the Dark Forest again. She sighed and looked around, then fallowed her normal path to the clearing that she useually trained in.
"Hi Mosspaw." Treepaw mewed, they had actually become friends in the few days Mosspaw had been training. Treepaw, Sunpaw of Windclan, and Mintpaw was already there. Mosspaw had gotten used to Sunpaw by now, she thought it was weird how her brother and him had the same name, but she was fine with it now.
Mosspaw did not ask why Skypaw was not here because she could not care less. "What are we doing today?" She asked instead.
The shimmering warrior, Blackclaw, spoke up "We are practicing a new move."
Mosspaw nodded, she was more then half way through her apprenticeship and she only had learned all her moves, but Toadstep had always told her that she needs to be better to be a warrior and Mosspaw wondered why, because he knew that she got extra training.
"Today we are practicing your first Dark Forest move, the Underbelly Slash. In this training we will not use claws because you don't know the move yet or how to get out of it. Got it?" Blackclaw growled.
"Got it." Skypaw said loudly, making Mosspaw, Treepaw, and Mintpaw jump. The three had not noticed that she had entered.
"Okay, Mintpaw and Treepaw will face each other, Sunpaw will face me, and Mosspaw and Skypaw will face each other." Blackclaw mewed, showing no emotion what so ever.
Mosspaw frowned Is he trying to get me killed?! She wondered to herself.
"What's wrong, Mosspaw? To scared to practice a move with sheathed claws? I thought that is how you liked it." Skypaw mewed, coming to stand in front of Mosspaw.
Mosspaw said nothing, she just turned away.
"Okay, listen up. This is a hard move and I wont repeat instructions twice." Blackclaw mewed "Dart under your enemy's underbelly, slashing at the back of their forepaws. When they twist, expecting you to emerge on the other side, back quickly out of the way you came. Hook your claws into your enemies fur, and drag them to the ground."
Mosspaw nodded and turned to Skypaw.
Skypaw mewed "You go first." Her tail lashed once.
Mosspaw darted under Skypaw and scratched at SKypaw's forepaws with sheathed claws then darted out before Skypaw could react, then grabed her tur and pulled her to the ground in a swift, clean movement.
Skypaw stood up and then shook the dirt from her pelt. She narrowed her eyes "My turn." She suddenly lunged forward and Mosspaw felt her poke at her forepaws. Then before Mosspaw could try to react she felt a clump of fur being torn away as Skypaw tried to pull her to the ground.
"Oww!" Mosspaw yelled and pushed away Skypaw. Mosspaw stood up and shook out her pelt, seeing a clump of fur on the ground.
"Not my fault you don't wash your pelt." Skypaw hissed.
"I do." Mosspaw hissed. "You just want to make me leave, all because you failed that one time."
Skypaw hissed and leapt at Mosspaw, claws out and ready.
Mosspaw quickly ducked away, turned and lashed out at Skypaw as she landed. Red blood showed on her paws.
Skypaw let out a battle cry and turned, slashing at Mosspaw's muzzle. Mosspaw dusked down low, head almoust touching the ground. She thought for half a second and then knew what to do, she flashed out her paw and sliced at Skypaw's belly just before Skypaw squashed her to the ground.
SKypaw hissed and stood up, "You piece of fox-dung! I'll-" Skypaw screeched, rearing up for a death blow before being cut off.
"SKYPAW! STOP THIS INSTANT!" a loud voice shouted over Skypaw's. Mosspaw stood up and looked to see Darkheart, eyes full of anger. Just then Mosspaw noticed that everyone had been watching but did not do anything to stop Skypaw. "What are you doing?"
Skypaw turned and fled into the shadows without a word, disappearing immediately.
Mosspaw let out a sigh and stood up. She felt no pain at all, just that large clump of her belly fur was missing but the cats back at camp should to be able to notice.
"I thought this was a simple battle practice, now look what it has turned into! I-" Darkheart turned on Blackclaw but Mosspaw tuned him out as the older apprentices padded up to her.
Mintpaw looked shocked, Sunpaw just smiled a little, and Treepaw sat there with his mouth open.
"How did you...?" Treepaw trailed off "I-I mean, no one could beat her!"
Mosspaw licked a paw and brought it over her head quickly "I guess that she does not think when she is mad." She paused "It was pretty easy actually."
Sunpaw mewed in his unemotional voice "Good job Mosspaw."
Mintpaw still stood their shocked. "You beat Skypaw." Skypaw was her sister.
Mosspaw looked at her, expecting her to be mad but Mintpaw reacted differently.
"Thank you." Mintpaw whispered, smiling slightly.
"Your welcome." Mosspaw mewed, unsure why she was happy about her sister being beaten by a younger apprentice. She pushed the thought away.
"All of you, go back to camp. It is dawn." Blackclaw spoke up to the apprentices, Darkheart sat a fox length away, watching silently through narrowed to slit eyes.
Mosspaw nodded and then joined the other apprentices as they ran out of the clearing and melted ino the shadows.
Any one know Mosspaw's power yet? Oh, and if you want to vote on Mosspaw's full name I am putting up a poll for it in my profile. Feel free to vote! :D
