Buzzardpaw
"Just be warned, Not everyone is as they seem"
XxXxXx
Buzzardpaw's eyes fluttered open, slowly recognizing the shapes before him. The shapes were the tree stump that layed in the middle of the den, and his sister Nightpaw. He got up and stretched, his eyes never leaving Nighpaw's supposedly sleeping body. Nightkit flinched and clenched her jaw in her sleep, she was having a nightmare.
Pawing Nightpaw, Buzzardpaw meowed, "Nightpaw? Are you ok?"
Nightpaw stirred and open her eyes, shaking Buzzardpaw away like nothing had ever happened, "Yea, of course. Why wouldn't it be?" There was a hint of bitterness in her voice.
Buzzardpaw shook his head, "Its just a question Nightpaw, you don't have to so hostile."
Nightpaw bristled, making herself look bigger, and dung her claws into the ground, "I'm not being hostile your just being as stupid as a-"
"Is everything ok in here?" Mintwater stuck her head into the den, interrupting Nightpaw. Buzzardpaw and Nightpaw looked at each other and nodded their heads.
"Well... anyway, Nightpaw, come on time train," Nigthtpaw smiled and ran out of the den with Mintwater, leaving Buzzardpaw alone. He growled at himself for irritating Nightpaw. He was supposed to be trying to get along with her, they were litter mates for Starclan's sake! Buzzardpaw sighed and cleaned himself up before leaving the den, heading toward the nursery where no doubly his mentor was with his mate and kits, who had been born only a moon ago.
Buzzardpaw entered the nursery, quickly finding Steeltail and walking over to him.
"Steeltail?" Buzzardpaw asked as he walked over to the gray tomcat, "Can we train today?"
Steeltail looked up at Buzzardpaw from where he was laying and meowed, "Sure... What would you like to do?"
Buzzardpaw sighed, "Hunting I guess," He had already mastered many fighting skills but hardly any hunting skills, so he needed it.
"Okay then," Steeltail stood up and both of them exited the den.
xXxXx
"Like this Buzzardpaw," Steeltail demonstrated, once again, while Buzzardpaw watched attentively. Then Buzzardpaw tryed again, Steeltail shook his head.
"Let me try again," Buzzardpaw pleated.
Steeltail sighed, "One more time then we head to the Oak for battle training."
"K," Buzzardpaw steadied himself. Hunch over a little more, a voice whispered, put more weight on your back paws for a better pounce.
Buzzardpaw followed the voices directions and pounced, catching a robin. He held it up for Steeltail to see and grinned.
"Well done Buzzardpaw," Steeltail purred, "Lets take that back to camp."
Buzzardpaw followed Steeltail down the path. Halfway home, he saw a flash of red. Peering through a bush was Firestar, flame-colored pelt, green eyes, and all. He winked at Buzzardpaw and faded.
Good job Buzzardpaw,Firestar whispered, your nearing closer to your journey... just remember, not everyone is the enemy.
