Chapter 9:
Everyone made way for Nightfur and Flowerpaw. Nightfur was of course expecting this. She knew that some medicine cats had to prove themselves. This was the perfect chance for Flowerpaw to prove herself to the rest of the clan since she was still a kit. The screaming was from Streamfang she was due for quite a while.
Rockstar of course sensing the tension told Flamepelt to organize patrols.
"Hey, Moonpaw let's do some battle training," Minnowtail said.
"Alright sounds good."
"I used to train in the forest on this island, so you can train with me there."
"Really?"
"Follow me," he beckoned me with his tail.
We went into the woods and walked for a while. Then we reached a clearing with pretty flowers. Minnowtail went to the middle of the clearing.
"Come attack me."
Of course I was reluctant to do so he was my teacher. He recognized that I was reluctant. Then he nodded. I lunged and try to land on his back. He swatted me away and I went back.
"Come on, you have to come with a killing intent," Minnowtail said with amusement.
After a few seconds of reluctance I made it look like I was about to pounce on Minnowtail like the first time. He was expecting me to do so. Then I just hopped and he lunged while he was in the air he didn't realize his mistake until I scratched his underbelly. Then he put all his weight down and he went down much faster and crushed me.
All the air was knocked out of me. Then he turned around and faced me.
"Impressive, but not good enough."
He finally let me get up. I was breathing heavily. Then he told me to rest for a little bet. After I was well-rested he told me I can try again.
"All right, GO!"
I wasn't expecting him to pounce since I thought he was going easy on me like the first times. While he was in midair I decided to jump away. When I jumped and he landed there was a little opening when he turned to me. Then I ran my full speed.
He was ready for this. He turned around and kicked my front legs with his hind legs and I tripped and he pinned me down.
"You know, you're pretty good for a new apprentice."
He let me regain my breath.
"Thanks, but your a really good and skilled fighter."
"Not really, all the warriors are like this. Do you want to go hunt. I can go and show you techniques."
"Ok, I know how to catch mice, Fang taught me how."
He looked at me confused. Then he remembered that I wasn't a clanborn cat like him so the confusion receded.
"Ok, but did that cat teach you how to fish?'
"No, we didn't eat fish that much," I said.
"Ok, then you will learn something new."
He took me back to camp. It wasn't that long since we left but camp was still a little crowded near the nursery.
"Let's do fishing at another time, let's go check on Streamfang."
"Ok."
We went to the entrance to the nursery. Nightfur was in the entrance blocking everyone from going in. Minnowtail being Nightfur's littermate he was able to talk to her while I was following him.
"Why are you outside? Shouldn't you be helping Streamfang give birth?"
"No, Streamfang will be fine."
"What are you talking about?"
"It's Starclan's wishes to let Flowerpaw prove herself."
"Well, I don't trust a kit help a full grown cat give birth."
As he said that Flowerpaw came outside the den.
"We have three new and healthy kits."
Nightfur looked at Flowerpaw and nodded then she looked at Minnowtail.
"Told you," she whispered.
