FLASHBACK:
"STORMPAW!!"
Stormpaw looked up. A much larger apprentice ran up to her and managed to bowl into her side. Dust flew up in the hollow as an angry mentor's face was soon made out by the blinking eyes of the small she-cat.
"Stormpaw, pay attention!" The angry tom yelled. A pretty yellow cat next to him brushed her pelt against his shoulders and whispered something in his ear.
"Sunsteps, Stormpaw is just not fit to be a warrior. Did you see how easily Wasp-paw just tackled her?" The tom said loud enough for the three apprentices and their mentors in the hollow to hear.
Solemnpaw brushed up against his best friend. Stormpaw felt her face get hot, and she looked downward in embarrassment as he pressed his nose against her pink one.
"Wasp-paw is older and bigger than you, its not your fault. Its your first time training." He whispered.
"I'm just not good enough. I can't run fast because of my legs. I'm to small. I have bad balance because I have no tail--"
Solemnpaw began laughing. "You're letting them get to you. We're all different, we all have problems to over come. Embrace your difference, and your enemies will be powerless."
He nodded his head and Stormpaw looked up. Wasp-paw was now ready for another attack on much smaller Stormpaw. The she-cat studied Wasp-paw's figure for weakness. She had long legs and a slender body, not much muscle. Stormpaw grinned, and when her mentor shouted for them to attack, Stormpaw jumped. An unexpected move, for the Wasp-paw below her. The weight of the smaller cat was enough to send Wasp-paw to eat dirt, when her legs buckled, with a crack from a bone in her jaw. The pretty striped feline opened her mouth, and a tooth fell out and blood seeped form the wound.
The angry mentor ran over to his apprentice, and breathed heavily. Stormpaw was sure he was going to yell at her so she shrunk back, but instead he congratulated her, "You did one thing right in your miserable life, Stormpaw."
The she-cat wasn't sure about the backhanded complement, but bowed her head for the praise. Sunsteps walked up to her wounded daughter and walked her to the medicine den and her mentor also followed.
Solempaw and Stormpaw were sent to gather moss the rest of the day by Stormpaw's mentor, now happy she didn't have to fight anyone.
'What if I accidentally kill them like my family?' She thought as she brought a bundle of moss to the elders.
