Owlpaw
Owlpaw watched Fadedpaw and Riverpaw, the three of them were praticing battle moves, all of their mentors were watching. She stiffened, her gaze alert.
Who will attack first? Dim-wit or mouse-heart? She thought, almost mused as she thought of this. She did nickname both of the tom's these names, mostly because Riverpaw was mouse-hearted, and well. Fadedpaw acted like a dim-wit around, or about Riverpaw.
"Just attack already! I'm getting gray hairs!" Owlpaw yowled, she didn't actully care who won, just if she could join the fight! "Sundanceeee!" She whined, drawing out her voice. "Why can't I join? Maybe get their blood pumping! Both are to soft-hearted to attack each other!"
Riverpaw's gaze flickered to her, anyence clear in his ocean-blue eyes. "We are not Owlpaw!"
Fadedpaw shifted in his spot, looking at Riverpaw with clear disapproval to having to fight. "Why not let Owlpaw join?" He mumbled, eyes narrowing at her. "I could use a feather or two!"
A feather? "I'm not a bird!" She snapped, ears flatting. "Mouse-brain!"
"Frog-breath!" Fadedpaw growled back, spinning to glare at her.
In the moment, Riverpaw pounced, landing onto Fadedpaw's back. He was small, which made it harder for him to tackle him down. But, Fadedpaw ended up falling to his knees, with Riverpaw holding him down with his front paws onto his neck. "Ha! I win!"
Fadedpaw rolled his eyes, but they were light and smiled. "Alright, get off me furball!" He stood up, shaking Riverpaw off him just like Riverpaw was a over-sized kit.
Riverpaw huffed, looking at their mentors. "You just let me win, didn't you?" He hissed.
Fadedpaw shook his head, his tail resting into Riverpaw's shoulder. "No, I didn't!" The gray tom looked at Owlpaw his gaze gleaming. "Now, want to join the fight?"
Getting to her paws, she lashed her long, white tail to her side hovering beside her face. Smiling, she nodded "Bring it on, dim-wit!"
Cut
Owlpaw leaped into the training area. Paws out-streatched she hit both of Fadedpaw's shoulders. She rolled, tail tangling around her paws for a moment. Standing, she glared at Fadedpaw whom was nodding and saying something to Riverpaw. Then, both of them started moving around her.
Tag-teaming? Owlpaw gritted her teeth. Both toms were smaller then most cats, but so was she. She was more lean, more lithe and thin to make her frame look small. Which makes this a far fight, but now both of them? She dug her claws into the ground her gaze flashing to both cats. "Come on, cowards!"
Riverpaw leaped, she ducked, feeling only the tip of his paws gaze her back as he landed onto the other side of her, nearly nocking down Fadedpaw.
Owlpaw got to her paws, raced to Fadedpaw and quickly kocked his paws from under him. Shouldering Riverpaw back onto the ground she dragged the smallest tom to Fadedpaw's side. "Ha! Both of you are truely mouse-hearts!" She snorted, looking to see Sundance walking over.
The golden tom sighed, "Alright. Get up both of you!" He poked Fadedpaw's side with a paw. "You just got beaten by a younger she-cat."
Owlpaw's dark blue eyes flashed to Sundance. What did that mean? She opened her jaws, about to make another snarky comnet on what her mentor just said when she yelped, falling flat onto her belly. "Hey- the fight is over, you lost. End of story!" She meowed, glaring at Fadedpaw who had a smug look cross over his face.
The tom smiled, "Just giving you a tast of your own medicine!" He replied in a snicker. "Right, Riverpaw?"
Riverpae shrugged, still trying to get dirt from his pelt. "Yeah, why did you have to drag me?" He whined, "I hate dirt on my skin!"
Midnightrunner hissed, "Then go in the river, Riverpaw!" She snapped, the deputy has been in a bad mood for the past few days.
Owlpaw glared at Midnightrunner. Riverpaw had stopped grooming his pelt, huddling beside Fadedpaw. Foxheart! Owlpaw hissed softly, "Sorry, Riverpaw. I'm sure we can get all the dirt out of your pelt soon." She walked beside the two tom, lowering her head. "Whats gotten into Midnightrunner? She acts like a badger these past few days, grumper then one!"
Fadedpaw gaze at her before sighing. "I don't know. But whatever it is, its got to be bad. She almost never snaps at Riverpaw, he is her only kit."
Owlpaw looked ahead of them. Blinking as sunlight almost blinded her! Shaking her head, she gritted her teeth. "Well, lets just help Riverpaw get cleaned up." She mewed, "And eat! I'm starved." She smiled as Fadedoaw snorted, repling ("your always starving Owlpaw!"). She nodded, she was almost always starving. Yet, she worked hard to earn that hunger. So, it didn't bring much atteniched to her own mind.
Closing her eyes, she let the wind blow around her. Sighing as she gazed at the marble trail, "Whatever, dim-wit."
Fadedpaw sighed, smiling as he shook his head. "Yeah, "whatever" Mouse-brain."
