Go fillers!
"No, Thunderpaw, I know what you're trying to do!" said an exasperated Blackwing, "If you show that you're aiming for my head, all I have to do is jump out of your way!"
This time, aiming for Blackwing's feet, Thunderpaw whipped around and missed Blackwing, much to the mentor's surprise. The surprise doubled when he tried to grasp the apprentice, but missed, falling into a perfectly laid trap, so Thunderpaw could bat at his mentor's stomach.
"Ha, take that! I know what's I'm doing!" Thunderpaw caterwauled. "I will be the best warrior ScarClan has ever seen!"
"I don't know about that, Lightningpaw is getting very good," interrupted Icestar, coming into the training hollow, "Let's have a fight, and see who wins." Icestar prodded her daughter forward.
Circling Thunderpaw, Lightningpaw lashed out with sheathed claws. Thunderpaw quickly ducked and tried to pin her, but she wriggled away. Trying to do the same trick he pulled on Blackwing, the tom gasped when Lightningpaw easily squirmed around and pinned him instead.
"En't so tough, are ya?" Lightningpaw sneered. If she was in battle, she could easily kill him, ripping through his throat. She got a disapproving look from her mother, so she stepped off her brother.
"Lightningpaw, that was superb, but why, I ask, are you talking like a city cat?" Lightningpaw hunched down on the ground, gazing with pleading eyes.
"I, uh, was talking with a few of them? They taught me that!" Icestar frowned. "And Smoke's cool, he helps me so much!"
"Lightningpaw, I forbid you to talk to the city cats! They are bloodthirsty and evil, especially those cats…"Icestar shuddered, a hard thing to have happen.
Blackwing sighed, but prodded his apprentice. "Alright, lets work on those fighting moves again, and maybe later we can go hunting, does that sound good?"
Thunderpaw beamed and nodded, and they picked themselves up and started circling again. Lightningpaw and Icestar threw themselves into the mock-fight, laughing and having a wonderful time.
Yeah, it was a filler, but the next chapter will be important!
