Okay just realized I made a mistake. Fernpaw, Mentioned in chapter 4, is Rabbitstep's brother and is now warrior Fernfleck. The apprentice mention in chapter 4 and 7 is now Fawnpaw, daughter of new queen Butterflystreak, who has been added to the allegiances! So anyone who has been following this story is not confused! Fawnpaw's mentor is Smallstripe. MF85 :)
Chapter 8
"Ready for some battle training?" Asked Owltalon, padding up to Blizzardpaw, who was eating a rabbit, and chatting to Fawnpaw. Blizzardpaw sprang to his paws, startling Fawnpaw. Owltalon's whisker's twitched in amusement. "Okay then, Mudpaw and Twigfur will be joining us. Follow me to the training area." Owltalon beckoned with his tail, and Blizzardpaw bounded after him. Mudpaw and his mentor Twigfur met up with them at the edge of camp, and the four cats made their way to the apprentices' first battle training session.
"Okay, let me show you some basic moves." Owltalon explained. He beckoned Blizzardpaw forward. "Right, when a cat charges at you must learn to dodge. Blizzardpaw, run at me." Owltalon instructed. Blizzardpaw rushed at him, but before he reached him, Owltalon dodged to the side, and leapt on him, bowling him over on to his back. Owltalon stepped away. "Like that. Blizzardpaw, you try on Mudpaw. Remember, claws away during training." Blizzardpaw nodded. Mudpaw stepped into the middle of the dip that served as the arena, and the mentors stepped aside. Mudpaw charged at Blizzardpaw. Blizzardpaw growled, and swerved to the side. He pushed back on his hunches, leapt at Mudpaw and knocked him on his side. Blizzardpaw leapt on him, pinning him down. Mudpaw attempted to rake Blizzardpaw's belly, but he jumped to the side. Mudpaw flipped over and lunged at Blizzardpaw. But Blizzardpaw remembered the move and dodged again. This time Mudpaw realized, and swerved just in time to face Blizzardpaw head on. Blizzardpaw smiled evilly. Mudpaw's eyes widened slightly at his expression. A white paw flashed out, and claws raked down his cheek. Mudpaw stumbled backwards. Blizzardpaw gave him a sinister look. Was that… fire in his eyes?
"Blizzardpaw! Claws away!" Twigfur growled as he leapt in front of Mudpaw. Blizzardpaw lunged at Twigfur, who let out a yowl of surprise. Suddenly, Blizzardpaw collapsed to the ground. What am I doing? I hurt my brother! I attacked a senior warrior! What's wrong with me? Blizzardpaw was breathing heavily, staring at his paws.
"He's not your brother." Growled the same scratchy voice in his head, "And who cares? You are more powerful then all of these cats. One day, you shall rule them all, and your pelt will turn red with your enemy's blood." The voice's sinister laughs echoed in his head. Blizzardpaw shook his head. "NO! Get out of my head! Go away!" He screeched in fear. He covered his face with his paws.
"You can't stop fate. Only I can do that…" The sinister voice purred.
"Blizzardpaw! What is the matter with you? Who are you talking to? You hurt Mudpaw, and attacked Twigfur, thankfully with you claws sheathed! Haven't you gotten into enough trouble? Now you're yowling to the sky, telling StarClan-knows-who to go away!" scolded Owltalon severely. "I'm taking you to Mossfeather and Swiftstar this instant." He picked up Blizzardpaw, who was still utterly petrified of his future, and dragged him back to camp.
"You can't stop fate, only I can do that…" the voice purred once more, its laughs echoing inside Blizzardpaw's head.
I bet you all like Blizzardpaw, but be warned… it feels sad to do things to certain characters, but that's the way it is! Please review, and stay tuned! MF85 :)
