Chapter 3
AuroraClan training camp, Mistfield.
"Azurepaw, today we will be training with Ivythorn and his apprentice Darkpaw." Emberpelt meowed.
Ever since he "accidentally" stepped on me, never apologized and told other cats I stepped on him, we were and still are rivals. I am going to beat him the most at everything. For now we are tied, but today I will win! Thought Azurepaw. "Hi, Darkpaw." Azurepaw meowed.
"Hi, Azurepaw." Darkpaw meowed.
"Emberpelt and I decided to improve your teamwork. We heard you two do not cooperate with each other well." Ivythorn meowed.
It is obvious that Ivythorn just wants to spend time with Emberpelt, because he likes her, using training as an excuse. Thought Azurepaw."What are we doing?" Azurepaw asked.
"You are both going to spar with each other, claw sheathed." Emberpelt answered.
"How does sparing help our teamwork?" Darkpaw asked.
"If you both learn each other's moves, then it will be easier to use moves you both know. And it could improve your friendship." Ivythorn answered.
Azurepaw's and Darkpaw's eyes showed determination.
"Remember claws sheathed. Begin!" Emberpelt meowed.
Darkpaw made the first move using his front paw to attack Azurepaw's chest.
Azurepaw jumped backwards, avoiding the attack.
Like would fall for that! I will win! Azurepaw thought.
Azurepaw pounced forward landing on Darkpaw's back.
Darkpaw did a flip, making Azurepaw fall on the ground.
Darkpaw aimed both his front paws at Azurepaw.
Azurepaw rolled sideways avoiding the attack.
Darkpaw hit paws too hard on the ground, he was stunned.
Azurepaw knocked him over with a flying kick. Azurepaw pinned Darkpaw to the ground.
"Get off!" Darkpaw hissed.
"The sparring is over. You both did an excellent job." Emberpelt purred.
"I'll win next time!" Darkpaw hissed.
"You both did a excellent job! Darkpaw I never saw you fight like that!" Ivythorn meowed.
Darkpaw tuned his head the other way.
"Ivythorn, should we go back to camp now?" Emberpelt asked.
"Yes. We should hunt on our way back." Ivythorn meowed.
"Azurepaw, let's see who can catch the most prey." Darkpaw whispered.
"Sure. If I win this I will have two more wins then you." Azurepaw whispered back.
"Like I would let you win!" Darkpaw whispered.
"We should split up and hunt here. Come back when you caught some prey. If you catch here then come back." Ivythorn ordered.
Ivythorn, Emberpelt, Azurepaw and Darkpaw split up.
I know where the mice's nest is. There should be a lot of them there. Azurepaw thought.
Azurepaw started to dig.
I found some! One, two, three, four mice. Ivythorn said to catch three, but if I catch one more then I should have more prey then Darkpaw! I will get all four then. Thought Azurepaw.
Azurepaw bit and slashed the mice, killing all four.
"Welcome back Azurepaw. How many pieces of prey did you catch?" Darkpaw meowed.
"You first, how many did you catch?" Azurepaw meowed.
"Four." Darkpaw gloated.
"I caught four too. It's a draw." Azurepaw meowed.
"True, but I came back first s so it's my win." Darkpaw meowed.
"The goal was to catch more prey." Azurepaw snapped.
"And bring it back." Darkpaw snapped.
"Are you two bickering again?" Emberpelt demanded.
"He said that?" Azurepaw asked.
"Yes I said that. Darkpaw won. Can you both stop arguing now?" Ivythorn meowed.
"See, I won." Darkpaw gloated.
"This time." Azurepaw corrected.
"Azurepaw, Darkpaw time to go back to camp. If you don't hurry we'll leave you behind!" Emberpelt yowled.
"Coming!" Darkpaw meowed.
"Coming!" Azurepaw meowed.
