Chapter Six

"Well, wasn't that fun? We went on a tour, we went hunting-"

"Actually, we didn't go hunting. You got too tired to do it," Ravenpaw reminded Tigerclaw.

"Well aren't you a goody two shoes. I have half a mind to eat your nose."

"NOT THE NOSE," Ravenpaw squealed, racing away from the warrior. Tigerclaw snorted with laughter. Lionheart smacked him on the head.

"You know, one of these days you being mean to him will come back to haunt you," he warned. "But foreshadowing ain't cheap."

"As if." Tigerclaw huffed as he high stepped away. Lionheart sighed and walked in the opposite direction.

"Hey, Graypaw you were right. There's something off about Tigerclaw," Firepaw muttered.

"I know. I told you, he's a dick." Graypaw rolled his eyes angrily.

Firepaw tripped the other tom as they walked over to the fresh kille pile. "Yeah, but he's a HUGE dick. Like, worse than Longtail."

"Obviously," Graypaw meowed, spitting out dust. Firepaw began dragging Graypaw by the tail because he got tired of waiting for him to get up.

"What if he killed Redtail?"

"THAT'S ABSURD. TAKE IT BACK," Graypaw roared.

"Ok, ok. But what if-"

"You give me a plate of nachos? Yes," Graypaw answered.

Firepaw noisily stomped through the forest. It was the easiest way to not catch anything. It had been a loooooooooooooooooong time since he had begun training, and it felt like he had learned nothing.

Despite the fact that he was making a lot of noise, he noticed an animal right in front of him. It was a stupid vole thing.

"Hey stupid! You should probably run if you don't want to be eaten." A blur of gray flashed by Firepaw. Seconds later, Graypaw sat up with the vole in hi jaws.

"You failed," he mumbled.

"Oh come on. I was getting there. The only reason it was standing so still was because it couldn't get over how fat you are," Firepaw smirked.

"SHUT THE FRONT DOOR…what's a door?"

Another flash of red slunk through the grass, but Firepaw was 50% sure it wasn't a cat this time. It was probably some other stupid animal or something.

"Yo, what the crap was that?"

"That was a fox," Graypaw yawned. "They are the embodiment of Satan. They eat kits and will kill you." He looked at Firepaw. "It would have killed you."

Tilted his top hat, he backed away, disappearing into the forest again.

Firepaw sighed and started walking towards the road. He till refused to call it a Thunderpath. Thunder doesn't go down it, so it was a dumb name. As he neared the road, he noticed a pair of eyes peering at him from across it.

"HOLY CRAP. I SEE A SHADOWCLAN CAT," he screeched to no one. The eyes disappeared and left Firepaw glancing around nervously.

"I want my mommy…"
