Ugh...I had to rewrite this due to the fact, it deleted itself. I hope you enjoy!
Chapter 9
Shadepaw took a bite of the mouse Dovewing had given him.
The mouse tasted quite delectable...just like it did...when he was in the wild, years ago.
"So, what do you think of it?" asked Dovewing, her brilliant blue eyes twinkling.
"It's...pretty good!" smiled Shade and finished eating it in a few moments.
"Now let's go and start training!" smiled Dovewing.
Shadepaw smiled brightly, and could feel his cheeks go a bright pink, after all Dovewing seemed pretty...pretty nice, of course!
After a few minutes, Dovewing brought Shadepaw to Training Grounds.
"This is Training Grounds! Where the apprentices train with the warriors, and improving their skills of attacking and defensing!" explained Dovewing.
Shade couldn't help and wonder, what it would be like to train an apprentice, were they all like him?
"Alright, let's start with your attacking moves, to see what skills you know! Even though you're a kittypet, let's just see!" smiled Dovewing warmly.
Shadepaw returned the smile, and dived into the bushes, which hid his scent pretty well.
Shadepaw was so focused on trying to attack Dovewing from the bushes, that he stumbled onto something...familiar.
"Ugh...get off me!" moaned the voice.
Shadepaw was startled and sniffed the object below him. The 'thing' smelled like dried blood and of the wild...and something familiar.
"Get off me!" growled the voice, a bit more sturdier.
Shadepaw quickly leaped off, and noticed it was a she-cat with rough white fur, splotched with dark red splotches of dried blood and piercing amber eyes, that seemed to be showing grief and sadness, with anger mixed in.
"I lost my love...my love I have loved the most...for a few years, I had kept my eyes on him, hoping he would notice me. Now me can't...due to the fact, he's gone! I lost him after a small animal attacked us! I fell into darkness and when I woke up he was gone! His name is Shade...I've loved him right away...I NEED HIM! These dumb woods made me lose him. The idiotic wild tried to split us apart. I can't give up looking for him! I'll never stop looking for Shade...it's all my fault!" cried the she-cat.
Before Shadepaw could say anything, the she-cat stared at him with grieving eyes.
"Get away from me, wild cat!" hissed the she-cat and scratched Shadepaw's face, then stared at him once more, her face still streamed with sad tears.
The she-cat then ran off into the deeper part of the woods, leaving Shadepaw alone in the bushes with a new gash.
"Shadepaw, you've been standing there for most of our training time!" called Shadepaw.
Shadepaw glanced at the area where the she-cat just fled into, and smiled. Maybe...just maybe there was a chance that Amber was still alive.
When Shadepaw made it back to Dovewing, she told him to go to Jayfeather's den and get his gash checked.
For the rest of the day, Shadepaw didn't utter a word.
I hoped you enjoyed!
Question: Who do you think the she-cat is? What role do you think she will play?
I think this chapter was better than the other version I typed (that got deleted when I was trying to save it).
Stay tuned, review, and fav! =3
