Ivypool turned to Mapleshade, a confused look on her face. "Why are you doing this for me?"
Mapleshade had offered to be "mentor," but Ivypool had no idea why.
"Just consider it a gift." Mapleshade stopped at the end of the trail and smiled.
"Time for your training to began. You need to catch Hawkfrost's eye, and to do that you need to impress him. When you see him tomorrow to train, put up a good fight."
Ivypool nodded eagerly. "So what do I do?"
Mapleshade grabbed her hand. "Hawkfrost will catch your wrist right here, and flip you onto your back like her did last time." A part of Ivypool wondered how Mapleshade had known about that. "So what I need you to do is kick hi. Hard."
"What?!"
"He'll grab your wrist like this, I'll teach you to kick strait up, and hit his wrist. Reflexively he'll pull back and I want you to kick at his knees. Make him fall. You won't be able to beat him yet, but it's a start."
The rest of the day was spent learning that new move.
(My line breaks are so lame xD)
…
The next day Ivypool went to field to wait for Hawkfrost. She practiced being grabbed and kicking up to hit an imaginary wrist. She was getting good at the move.
When Hawkfrost arrived she was ready.
"I see you deiced to show up."
"Did you doubt me? As if your lack of faith in me would ever push me away."
Hawkfrost raised an eyebrow. "We'll see about that." He lunged at her, sending her flying backwards. She flailed her arms and he caught her wrist. With all her might she kicked up as hard as she could, connected with his wrist. He jerked back shock in eyes and she aimed a punch at his face. He ducked, but in doing so he lost his balance and she able to shove him back.
She might have pinned him had he not slammed his leg into her ribcage. She fell onto her side gasping in agony, her vision blearing.
Hawkfrost sat down heavily beside her. "Where did you learn to do that?"
"I didn't. I'm just really good."
"Suuuurrrreeeee."
"No really!"
"Mmmhmm." But he was looking at her in a new way. He's impressed.
He grasped her hand and pulled her up. "Let me show you something. When I kick out, if you can grab my leg and pull forward, you can pin me."
Her eyes widened. I earned his respect. Enough for him to actually bother to try to teach me anyway. She leaned in, eager to learn.
(Another lame break lel)
…
Blossomfall entered Jayfeather's room and sat down next to him. He turned, his piercing blue eyes staring strait through her.
"Welcome."
She was his eyes, and in turn he gave her memories. Their alliance was good, and they did make a good team.
"I want my memory to be of Brokenstar. Show me Shredtail. I've heard the name but I don't know who he is."
"Neither do I. let's find out."
She lay down and he pressed his hands against her back.
She opened her eyes and saw
