I found the book. Lionblaze was borrowing it and never put it back. You can imagine me groping around clueless because I'm blind and all. Anyway, I'm back and this kind(and dashingly handsome) tortoise has permitted me to keep using his account to post on.
Chapter 4
"Alderpaw, will you concentrate?" Molewhisker gave an irritable lash of his tail. "Any kit could learn this move." Wow, that's harsh. It's been so long since Alderpaw was made an apprentice and he still sucks at just about everything. And he doesn't even have an excuse like "I'm blind" or anything, he just sucks for suck's sake.
...
Molewhisker really is an awful name when you think about it. Especially when you think of the other definition for the word 'mole'.
...
Alderpaw knew exactly why he couldn't give all his attention to training. He couldn't shake the uneasy feeling Leafpool's gaze had given him the night before at the Gathering. Ok, good. That means I'm not the only one who thinks Leafpool is weird- but still, that doesn't explain anything. Alderpaw has been sucking since day one. What was the reason for his awefulness before?
...
Alderpaw can't hunt good and Leafpool keeps staring at him. That seems to be the theme for the chapter so far.
...
"Alderpaw, you need to pay attention. A cat that can't hunt is no good to his Clan."... feelsbad man, feelsbad.
...
This is getting old super fast. We get it! Alderpaw can't hunt! Just send him to the elder's den already where all the other useless cat's go!
...
Sparkpaw tries to comfort Alderpaw but it feels off. It's as if I know that Erin Hunter wrote their brains and is forcing Alderpaw to be bad at hunting just to make a plot device. pshhh.
...
And a couple paragraphs later, Leafpool, me, Molewhisker and Bramblestar have decided Alderpaw will be a better medicine cat... wow, this is really rushed. And the way it is written makes it seem that Molewhisker is so fed up with his useless apprentice he's just like "Take him. I can't teach him anything and I hate his guts. Maybe he will be a better medicine cat." Ughhhh, everything is happening so fast.
...
HA! It says that me and Leafpool saw Alderpaw's new destiny in a vision. That's hogwash! Plus, wouldn't that just be his only destiny not his new one if he was never destined to be a warrior anyway? And damn StarClan for corrupting another poor innocent cat's life. This is what I can't stand about our warrior ancestors- when they stick there noses in our business and force cats to be things they never wanted to be. Yes I'm biased!
...
And it's settled. StarClan decreed Alderpaw would be a medicine cat and now he is. I can't get over how much I hate this. Oh, by the way, you should look up Moonkitti on the youtube for her video named Alderpaw. Sums up everything quite nicely.
...
I can't say I'm surprised that Alderpaw is becoming a medicine cat, but there are already two full med cats in the Clan... I would have preferred for one of them(preferably Leafpool) to die or something before they-we took on an apprentice. Who's apprentice will Alderpaw be anyway? Mine or Leafpool's? I hope he's mine, I would work his paws so hard they turned into stubs. I would be an awesome mentor! *insert evil laugh here*
...
-but Alderpaw was sure that Jayfeather, who was always so snappy and bad-tempered, didn't really want him there...Damn. I've become the new Yellowfang... You know, there's a difference between sarcastic and bad-tempered. I'm a realistO, I say it how it is. That doesn't mean I'm bad-tempered... at least not to the extent that every cat seems to think I am... CAN WE PLEASE JUST GET ON WITH THE STORY?!
...
Wow, almost forgot that in the cannon, Briarlight is still a cripple. In the real and better story, Jayfeather's Conclusion, I fixed Briarlight moons ago.
...
Why can't I just be a normal and good warrior apprentice like Sparkpaw? Cuz Erin's a ! #$%. nuf said.
...
Ughhh, I'm not going to go into details, but I am just so grumpy all the time and Leafpool is so cheerful- at least in Erin Hunter's version. If every chapter from here on out is just grumpy me and happy Leafpool, this is going to get old super fast...
...
Oh and apparently, Leafpool's been looking at Alderpaw awkwardly because she thinks he can talk with SatrClan in his dreams or something.
...
And the entirety of the rest of the chapter is me being grumpy while I teach Alderpaw stuff about herbs. Honestly, I feel like this plot is too similar to the early plot of 'The Sight' but who am I to judge? I'm just a blind cat after all.
Well, that's all folks!
