Thank you Leafsplash and Winxclubfan1 for reviewing! And yes, I am accepting OC's for kits, but not for anything else c: I'd like it if you just gave me kit names for them, not warrior names because I like choosing my own, but it doesn't really matter either way :3 Anyways, here's the next chapter!
Chapter Two
Firepaw snapped awake, her breath coming out in fast whispers. She felt sick and frightened, but she couldn't figure out why. A vague image of green flashed through her head, but it disappeared as soon as it had come. But why couldn't she remember anything?
She looked around for clues, but only saw the pale gray shape of Dewpaw in the apprentices den. The ginger tabby apprentice saw the small rise and fall of his stomach and knew he was asleep. She had to be quiet—she didn't want to wake him up!
Firepaw silently crept towards the exit of the den, careful not to make a sound, and then stepped onto the warm earthy ground of the camp. Sunlight was streaming down, making her pelt glow like fire and the ground to appear a light brown color.
She saw Blossomfall's tortoiseshell and white pelt across the clearing near the fresh-kill pile. Her mentor was sharing a thrush with her brother, Bumblestripe. Determinedly, Firepaw padded across the camp towards the she-cat.
At the sound of paw steps, Blossomfall and Bumblestripe looked up. "Hello, Firepaw," Bumblestripe meowed, dipping his head towards her. "What do you need?"
"I came to ask Blossomfall if we could finally battle train," the ginger tabby meowed, and then turned to her mentor, her amber eyes shining. "Can we? Please?"
The tortoiseshell flicked her tail dismissively. "We'll explore the forest today," she meowed, narrowing her eyes as a look of disappointment flashed across Firepaw's face.
I wanted to battle train… Firepaw frowned at her mentor.
Blossomfall turned her burning green gaze to her brother. "I'll be out exploring the forest with Firepaw. Tell the Clan that if they look for me," she growled, and then turned around and padded towards the exit of camp.
The ginger tabby apprentice sighed in annoyance but nonetheless padded after her tortoiseshell mentor.
The sound of birdsong was in the air as the two cats padded through the forest. "I already showed you the Owl Tree," Blossomfall meowed. "Now I'll show you the rest of the territory."
"I want to battle train," Firepaw muttered under her breath, but she had to admit that the forest was interesting. Chaffinches and kestrels flew through the air above her head, cawing noises to each other. Trees stretched taller than the Owl Tree, twisted branches and growing green leaves made it harder to see the sunlight, and squirrels and mice dug up nuts and seeds from the ground from the previous leaf-bare.
She nearly bumped into Blossomfall when she stopped since she was being distracted by the beauty of the forest. They were in a secluded area where the trees stretched into the sky and blocked must of the sunlight.
"Where are we?" Firepaw breathed, once again forgetting her attitude with her mentor.
"Oh, this place?" In the dark atmosphere, Blossomfall's eyes glowed a frightening emerald green. "This isn't a place in particular… but it is perfect for an unexpected ambush…" Firepaw noticed her voice was rising into a low growl, and her ears flattened on her head.
Before she even knew what was happening, Blossomfall leaped towards her, her teeth bared in a snarl. Her claws dug into Firepaw's skin and the tabby let out a yowl of pain. In the blink of an eye, Blossomfall had Firepaw pinned beneath her.
Firepaw's stomach twisted in a knot as she gulped, staring at the scary-looking green eyes of her mentor. Finally, after what seemed like forever, the tortoiseshell got off of her, sheathing her claws and sighing in disappointment.
"You should have been prepared for that," Blossomfall meowed, frowning. "You need to have natural instinct like the best warriors of the Clan."
Natural instinct? I thought you were about to slice open my throat! Fighting down her anger, Firepaw looked at her mentor in confusion. "You said we were exploring the forest, not battle training!"
"I wanted to surprise you," Blossomfall replied, and then glared at her. "Every cat that has potential for me would've been prepared. You need to be more like Amberpaw!"
Amberpaw?
What does she have to do with this?
"Whatever, let's just go back to camp," her mentor meowed, flicking her tail and padding into the sunlight-streamed forest. Still confused, Firepaw followed Blossomfall out of the secluded part of the forest.
"Snowpaw, was training with Toadstep the first time this hard?" Firepaw asked, licking a scratch that Blossomfall had given her on her shoulder. After they left the secluded part of the forest, her tortoiseshell mentor led her to the Sandy Hollow instead of camp for special training that no other apprentices used. Blossomfall said it was for the powerful apprentices and only those who were worthy or deserved it.
The long-haired white tom gave her a long look, and then turned away to stare into the dark blue sky. "No, Toadstep never gave me scratches the first time we battle trained. I think Blossomfall's being too hard with you."
"No way!" Firepaw exclaimed. I want to have special training with Blossomfall! "I'm fine, trust me Snowpaw. Blossomfall's not being too hard at all, and she's a great mentor."
Snowpaw's amber gaze switched from the sky to Firepaw, and she flinched when she saw the nervousness and worry brewing in them. "I'm not so sure."
Before she could say anything, Snowpaw got to his paws and walked away to the apprentices den. She felt conflicted—would she trust Snowpaw and get a new mentor, or should she continue special training with Blossomfall?
Well, that's the end of the chapter! What do you guys think about it? I think it was a little rushed tbh, but I guess I just wanted to get it done xD
