Hi guys! I got my permit yesterday (meaning the date of 7/15) I can finally drive! Yay. Anyhoot, new chapter here. We got Dragon and Darkgaze and that whole blah of a situation. I don't own Warriors, Erin Hunter has that under lock and key.
There were several problems with Darkgaze mentoring Dragon. For one, she was blind and couldn't see if he was doing anything right. Second, he knew most of this already, he knew the territory, how to hunt and, how to fight. Darkgaze flopped angrily into her nest the night of her first day. Waterclaw snorted.
"Rough day Darkgaze?" The warrior asked, licking her fur. Darkgaze nodded glumly. "Maybe tomorrow will be better." Waterclaw suggested. Darkgaze shrugged. I doubt it. She yawned and wrapped her tail around herself. Sleep came easy that night.

A new cat was in her dream forest. The cat had a pale ginger pelt with long, swoopy dashes. "Hello Darkgaze. My name is Longmark." The tom cat dipped his head. Darkgaze did the same.
"Why are you here Longmark?" The tabby asked, tilting her head. He sat and wrapped his darker tail around his white paws.
"Just to chat Darkgaze." He smirked. She rolled her eyes. DreamClan cats never just wanted to chat, there was always a catch. "Dragon, who is he?" Longmark asked, tilting his head. Darkgaze shrugged.
"I really have no idea." She told him. Longmark nodded and looked down at the forest floor.
"Hm. Come with me." He stood, flicked his tail and, started to walk. Darkgaze started after him. He led her to a pool. "Look in there." His tail tip touched the water, making it ripple. The water showed a tall and skinny tom. He had black fur pocked with ginger, white and yellow. His eyes were a fierce green, a long scar traced down his left leg. "That is Dragon." Longmark told her.
"Why are you showing me this?" She asked.
"So you could see him." Longmark shrugged. His tail touched the water again. A pure black she-cat came into view. Her eyes were a shocking blue.
"Batwing." Darkgaze mewed. Longmark nodded. The water rippled again. Another black she-cat this time, with dark grey tabby marks. "Ravenstream." They did this, she even got to see Hawkfeather. He touched her forehead and she woke.

It was getting colder, Batwing could feel it. It wasn't like the weather decided to change one day, it was slowly growing cooler. The kits grew bigger, the apprentices grew into their legs and muscles. Darkgaze and Dragon drew closer as she taught him about Clan life. Batwing was feeling left out by her best friend. The black cat decided the best way to get her friend back was to go hunting. One morning, when the frost was just starting to glint on the grass, Batwing woke Darkgaze.
"What?" Darkgaze grumbled, rolling over.
"C'mon, let's go hunting." Batwing suggested. Darkgaze sighed and sat up, flicking open her dark eyes. The tabby licked her chest fur.
"Fine, alright let's go." She stood and followed Batwing out of the camp. Fallenbreeze and Beeflower were guarding the camp. Batwing nodded to them before leading Darkgaze out towards the middle of the island. there was a nice stream running through with lots of prey. The two hunted in silence, catching two mice and a thrush before Batwing finally spoke.
"So, you and Dragon are becoming good friends." She tried. Darkgaze shrugged as she took a drink from the stream.
"I'm his 'mentor' I have to be with him a lot." Darkgaze explained. Batwing set a look on her friend, she knew that wasn't completely true. Darkgaze held up her tail and jumped over the stream lightly. Batwing crouched low, waiting for her friend to get back. She came back with a nice sized rabbit.
"Nice catch." Batwing purred. Darkgaze dipped her head. The two continued their hunt without one more word about the new tom.

Batwing searched for the dark reddish and black tom that was Dragon. She found him with the kits, playing with them. She went over to him. "Hello Dragon." She mewed, catching his bright green eyes.
"Hello Batwing." He puffed, flipping Vulturekit over. The black and grey tom huffed and raced away to jump on Swampkit. "Did you need something?" He asked, standing.
"Tawneyleap wanted you to go on a hunting party." She explained, flicking her tail to the deputy. Dragon nodded.
"Alright, thanks for telling me." He touched her shoulder with his tail and went over to the deputy. The tortoiseshell she-cat nodded to him and gestured to Frozenwing, Ashcloud and Ivypaw. He nodded and joined the party. They left the willow hallow. Batwing glared at the tom as he left. Something is not right about him. She decided.
Darkgaze was moving by the nursery when something jumped on her back. She stopped, wondering if it was just a fly. Little paws scrabbled at her spine. "Who is on me right now?" She demanded.
"S-Sunkit." The small kit stammered. She sighed.
"Please get off." She told the kit. She felt paws push off her and the kit land on the ground. "thank you. Now, why did you jump on me?" She asked. Sunkit drug his paw across the ground. "Sunkit." The warrior warned.
"I just wanted you to play with me." He confessed. Darkgaze softened.
"Not sure how much play I can do Sunkit." Darkgaze shrugged sadly.
"You could have me find things!" He suggested. She thought about it for a moment before nodding.
"Find a beetle, two clovers and a robin feather." She told the kit. He bounded away, searching the hallow for the four items. He had come back with two clovers when a yowl came from the boulders. She turned, sniffing. It was Ivypaw.
"A group of rouges are attacking!" The apprentice yowled.
Sorry that took forever to upload. Your random story of Emily's life is... When I was in preschool, I had two guys friends named Josh and Ian. Now, we were very rude to the other kids. We would dump kids out of the swings so we could have them. One week, the class had a canoe in it. We took over the canoe and wouldn't leave it or let other kids in it. Josh also punched our teacher in the stomach cause she wouldn't give him any animal crackers.
But, one time, our class went to a farm. We became farm warriors and carried around sharp sticks. We saw a cow and Josh and Ian jumped on it and started stabbing it. It was plastic. Josh jammed a twig up a cows nose and scarred all the chickens so bad they started laying eggs. When we came to the goats, we decided they would make good rides into battle. So, I pulled out my trusty spool of string (don't ask) and we each picked a goat. We put the string in their mouths like a horse. Mine kinda worked, Josh was bucked off and Ian was hanging sideways on his. Let's just say, the teachers didn't like us every much. Then, I moved preschools and didn't see them till fate brought me to their elementary school in fourth grade.
