CHAPTER 14

"Come on Emberpaw! Let's go train!".

He looked up to see Aquashine beckoning him from the willow tree he was sitting under, her sapphire blue eyes reflecting the setting sun as dusk approached.

"Alright" he sighed.

They had been training nearly the whole day, if this was how it was going to be everyday, then Emberpaw was going to become an elder sooner than he thought.

"Oh come on its not that bad", his mentor flicked Emberpaw's ear playfully. "Look on the bright side" she meowed positively, "At least Acorntail returned from the hunting patrol early, now you can train with Frostpaw!".

Frostpaw. The only cat in the whole clan that knew he snuck away to meet with Dovepaw. But she just thought it was some love of his, and Emberpaw trusted they older apprentice to keep her word.

Hopefully she did.

"So..." Aquashine began to talk while gazing at the setting sun, "How are you adjusting to RiverClan? It must be a lot to take in."

He shrugged, "Its alright, Everyone here is really nice". And then he caught the sight of Timberpaw and Eelpaw teasing Blizzardpaw again, "Almost everyone."

His mentor seemed to catch the drift and narrowed her eyes, turning to look in the two brothers directions.

"I'll take care of this" she growled, "Those two need to learn some respect."

Emberpaw watched with interest as the gray she-cat padded to the two unknowing brothers, and a sad looking Blizzardpaw who was on the ground.

Instantly both apprentices began yowling as Aquashine pinned them to the ground with her paws.

"You two have been nothing but trouble since you were a moon old!" she snapped while Timberpaw yowled like a terrified kit. Once Aquashine decided that the two had enough, she turned them towards Blizzardpaw.

"Now what are you going to say to this nice apprentice?" she growled in Timberpaw's ear.

"That he's a fat...!" he was cut off as Aquashine bit his scruff, and immediately his expression changed.

"Sorry Blizzardpaw, your the skinniest cat in the clans" both apprentices mewed like scolded kits.

Blizzardpaw simply looked in shock at what Aquashine was doing, no one had ever scolded the two brothers before, not since Lightningcloud became deputy.

"Good" she hissed while loosening her grip on them, "But next time try it with a little less sarcasm."

The moment Aquashine released the two brothers, they went running towards the apprentices den, their tails in between their legs.

"Wow!" was all Emberpaw could say as he walked up to Aquashine.

"That was amazing!" Blizzardpaw screeched, running into Aquashine and covering her in licks of thanks. The plump white tom barely noticed that he was tipping the warrior over, but when he did he made sure to stop.

"Just because their father is the almighty Lightningcloud doesn't mean they can act like pesky little badgers whenever they want to", she spat while still enraged.

Suddenly Emberpaw realized that he never wanted to catch Aquashine when she was mad, it was scarier than a herd of cows running towards you!

"Now come on" she hissed to her apprentice, "Are we going to train or not?".


Night fell onto the outskirts of RiverClan camp, as Emberpaw followed his mentor reluctantly out into the darkness. The bare tree branches seemed to curl like claws above his head, and clouds now separated the forest from the stars.

"I thought apprentices didn't train at night" he meowed while trying to keep close to Aquashine.

She barely turned, "They usually don't, but you need extra training if your ever going to become a warrior. And I learned that fighting in total darkness enhances your senses, so even when you can't see your opponent, you can still fight them."

So Aquashine wanted him to practice fighting blind, that was great for his first training session! Ever!

"There's Frostpaw" his mentor meowed as they came to a small clearing. "I really do feel bad for her, Acorntail isn't the brightest star in the sky if you catch my drift. It still baffles me that he and Flametree are from the same litter."

Emberpaw looked at Aquashine like a twoleg with rabies, "Are you serious? Flametree? The smartest warrior in the clan, they're siblings!?".

She nodded, "Yup, and I bet you wont believe this either. Guess who Fernstar's littermate was?".

Emberpaw looked perplexed, her didn't realize Fernstar had any siblings or even kin in the clan.

"Who?".

"Cloudstorm" Aquashine meowed, and instantly Emberpaw realized they did look considerably a lot alike. Not to mention Cloudstorm had the same strong attitude as his sister.

"Finally!" a snort came from Frostpaw as they joined her and her mentor, "I thought you had fallen into the stream again."

"Don't be rude Frostpaw" Acorntail meowed from underneath a bare oak tree, "That must have been a very hard time for Emberpaw."

He smiled as the elder tom defended him, maybe Acorntail wasn't as bad as most of the cats said he was. But suddenly the light brown tom crept to the ground, his ears perked straight up.

"Did any of you hear that?" he whispered to the two apprentices and Aquashine, "It sounded like twolegs."

Frostpaw just rolled her eyes, and Aquashine did the same. "It was just a twig you twit!" his apprentice meowed with a sigh, "Now come on I want to show Emberpaw that battle move I made."

"You made a battle move?" he asked with interest, "I thought you only taught apprentices moves that have been passed down through the clan."

"Well yes" Frostpaw confessed, "But once you see this one I'm sure you'll use it in a future battle! Now come on Acorntail I need you as a battle partner."

Reluctantly, the spooked tom padded over towards his apprentice, and stood ready to fight right where she told him to.

"Now" the she-cat began, "If your ever fighting an old warrior like Acorntail or Aquashine" she ignored the deep growl coming from Emberpaw's mentor.

"Then you need a way to tire them out!" she gaze with a smile at her mentor, "And now I give you the Dizzy Tackle!".

"The Dizzy Tackle?" Aquashine echoed, "Well this should be entertaining to say the least."

But before Emberpaw could respond, Frostpaw darted forward towards her mentor, but instead of tackling him, she began running around in circles.

Acorntail tried to follow the white blur that was Frostpaw, but his eyes just rolled in confusion. Frostpaw must have spun around her mentor at least twenty times before Acorntail finally became to dizzy and collapsed onto the ground.

In a matter of seconds the white spotted she-cat was ontop of him, pinning him down with a smile.

"See?" she meowed, "The Dizzy Tackle!".
