OMG! Thank you everyone for the comments! I officially have 2 pages of comments! Hope you like this new chapter!

Spottedpaw sat in the clearing, her eyes blazing with a green fire.

"Spottedpaw! Hey, Spottedpaw!" A white tail waved in front of her face, quivering in excitement.

"What do you want, Cloudpaw?" Spottedpaw sighed. It would be hard to plot with her littermates interrupting her thoughts every heartbeat.

"Uh, you know that we have to go to the apprentices den now to sleep," he mewed.

"Okay!" Spottedpaw realized that it would be easier for her to tantalize Violetpaw by getting Flamepaw's love when she had a nest next to hers.

Wait! What am I thinking? Spottedpaw startled herself so much with her own thoughts that she stopped mid-step. Love does not come from violence, it comes from grasping and accepting your destiny. The old voice of Spottedleaf, her former self burst into her head.

She softly wailed aloud, and her heart turned to mush again. But it's the only way!

Think yourself out. Do you want her really to die?

Spottedpaw looked at Violetpaw, who shot a smug look a Spottedpaw and rubbed her muzzle against Flamepaw's chest.

Yes!

It was worth a shot. Spottedleaf's essence sighed and dissolved.

Maybe I WILL try to be friends with her, Spottedpaw thught.

She walked up yo Violetpaw. "Hi!"

"Go away." Violetpaw turned her nose up.

"Don't be rude!" Flamepaw stood up and extended his muzzle so that it touched Spottedpaw's. "Hello, Spottedpaw," he whispered. His eyes gleamed with interest.

"Don't look at her!" Violetpaw sniffed. She narrowed her gaze and glared at Spottedpaw. "You're NOT wanted here."

"Oh." Spottedpaw hung her head. She started to pad away, but she felt Flamepaw's tail brush her flank.

"See you around." His eyes glittered.

"Bye." She tried to fill her gaze with longing, but Flamepaw just dipped his head and walked away.

Violetpaw narrowed her eyes at Spottedpaw and leaned in so far, their whiskers where touching.

" He is mine. If you try to take him from me, you will be sorry you've ever been kitted."

"Violetpaw!" Brightspirit padded over and nudged her. Battle training."

"Can Spottedpaw come?" Violetpaw blinked innocently up at the young warrior.

"Sure! I will just have to make sure that Deerwind is okay with it. Deerwind!"

"Yes?" the brown tabby bounded over.

"Can Spottedpaw come for battle training?" Brightspirit's eyes gleamed with excitement.

"It will be a good experience for her." Deerwind shrugged.

"Yay!" Violetpaw looked evilly at Spottedpaw.

This will be fun.

"Duck! Roll! Slash!" Deerwind's orders cut through the air like claws.

"I'm trying!" Spottedpaw growled. "Oof!" Violetpaw had squashed the young apprentice.

"Try again," Brightspirit urged gently, pulling Violetpaw off Spottedpaw.

The she-cats shook themselves and prepared to pounce.

Violetpaw suddenly gave an enormous leap and landed behind Spottedpaw.

"Wha?" Spottedpaw turned around, but the silver apprentice had already leaped onto Spottedpaw with fire in her eyes. Violetpaw started to rake her claws down Spottedpaw's flank.

"Ow!" Spottedpaw's flank burned. "Stop!"

Violetpaw's eyes only burned brighter as she flipped Spottedpaw onto her back and raked her claws across her belly, splashing her muzzle and claws with blood.

"Stop! Please!" Spottedpaw felt like she was dying all over again. Black was edging into her vision. She started to close her eyes.

"Violetpaw! Stop!"Deerwind looked horrified as she saw her apprentice ripped to shreds.

"Er, sorry." Violetpaw sheathed her claws and looked down at the heavily bleeding Spottedpaw. Spottedpaw's blood had soaked into the ground and turned it red.

And that's the weak side of what I will do to you, her glare seemed to say.

The weak side.

Violetpaw is getting really mean! Will Spottedpaw regret her decision to be a warrior? Please comment! I DO NOT OWN WARRIORS!
