CHAPTER 17
(Bramblesky's POV)
"Let all cats old enough to sleep under the stars join here for a clan meeting!" Cloudstar yowled, Bramblesky padded over from where she'd been sharing a thrush with Rainpaw, he followed.
"Which one do you think you'll get?" he asked her quietly, Bramblesky's blue eyes sparkled.
"Any one will do, I can't believe I'm getting an apprentice!" she replied her voice bubbling with joy. The three kits paraded from the nursery, their eyes bright with excitement. Their mother Swiftdawn and their father, Fawnheart stand on either side of them, eyes shining.
"Talonkit, Poolkit and Darkkit come forward" Cloudstar called, the kits obeyed. Darkkit rushed forward tripping on his paws, Poolkit walked forward slowly as if unsure about becoming an apprentice and Talonkit bounced happily forward. "Talonpaw your mentor will be Lilyflight, listen to her closely and I know you will become a warrior WindClan can be proud of." Talonpaw rushed over to the dark ginger she-cat, they touched noses, so I'll get Darkkit or Poolkit Bramblesky thought. "Poolpaw your mentor will be Bramblesky, though she is young she is one of our best warriors, I know she will make you a warrior WindClan will remember for moons to come." Poolpaw's eyes light up with excitement and she padded towards Bramblesky, who bent down to touch noses with her. "Darkpaw your mentor will be Jaybreeze, he is one of the best hunters in the Clan and I know he will make you a strong warrior WindClan will cherish." Cloudstar announced, and Darkpaw went over to touch noses with Jaybreeze.
"Talonpaw, Poolpaw, Darkpaw, Talonpaw, Poolpaw, Darkpaw!" the Clan yowled.
Poolpaw looked up at Bramblesky, "What are we doing today? Exploring the territory?" Poolpaw pestered.
Bramblesky laughs, "We'll do that in time, today we're doing battle practice." she explained.
Poolpaw bounced to her paws, "Who's coming with us?" she asked.
"Cloudstar, Rainpaw, Vinetail, Moorpaw and if Talonpaw and Darkpaw want to come they can." Bramblesky meowed.
"I'll ask!" Poolpaw yowled bouncing off.
She came back a moment later, tail drooping, "Talonpaw's exploring the territory and Darkpaw's cleaning the elders den!" she muttered.
Bramblesky let her tail rest on her apprentice's flank, "Its alright, come on I bet they wish they were going battle training!" Bramblesky tried to brighten her apprentice's mood.
It worked, Poolpaw bounded towards the camp entrance, "Come on lets go!" she yowled racing from camp.
"Poolpaw! Oh StarClan I'd better go and get her" glancing apologetically at Rainpaw she dashed off.
"Nice try but raise your tail more, for balance" Bramblesky instructed, Poolpaw swatted at her again. Without thinking Bramblesky flipped her apprentice onto her back and held her paws firmly at her throat.
"Wow! How'd you do that?" Rainpaw asked rushing over.
Cloudstar followed, "I knew you were a great fighter, but for StarClan's sake Bramblesky use your amazing skills on enemy warriors not your apprentice!" Cloudstar meowed a gleam of surprise in his eyes.
Bramblesky dipped her head, "Of course," she meowed, turning to Poolpaw she helped her apprentice up.
"Why don't you battle Rainpaw after he's finished with Moorpaw?" she instructed.
Poolpaw nodded her eyes shining, "Okay" she got a dreamy look in her eyes, "Rainpaw's nice and handsome," she murmured, Bramblesky's fur bristled and she let out a slight growl. Poolpaw turned to her, "What? Its not like he's your mate!" she sneered before padding over to Rainpaw tail held high. Bramblesky resisted the urge to claw her apprentice's muzzle off, but with a sinking feeling in her heart she realized Poolpaw was right. Rainpaw's not my mate, he could like any of the pretty apprentices in the Clan like Littlepaw, Softpaw maybe even Poolpaw! Rainpaw's mew made her jump and she spun around.
"Bramblesky?" he meowed.
"What?" she asked.
"Will you fight me, Moorpaw's fighting Poolpaw since he's a bit younger and your moves are pretty great!" Rainpaw exclaimed, Bramblesky purred and licked his cheek, he didn't pull away.
"Alright but your still an apprentice now and I plan to cream you!" Bramblesky challenged, Rainpaw got to his paws. Moorpaw and Poolpaw finished fighting, of course Moorpaw won since he'd been training way longer. They padded over to watch Bramblesky and Rainpaw's fight, Redwing and Cloudstar with them. Bramblesky and Rainpaw circled each other for a few moments, Rainpaw made the first move. He leaped, Bramblesky side stepped and he crashed to the ground, but he didn't look dazed he came right back at her, slashing out with his unsheathed paws. Bramblesky managed to avoid the first few but one knocked her right in the belly, she rolled over sending Rainpaw down with her. Quickly recovering she flipped Rainpaw onto his back and pinned him down. "Gotcha!" Bramblesky yowled triumphantly, Rainpaw muttered under his breath but he didn't look mad.
"That was great!" he mewed, Poolpaw rushed over to him.
"Oh Rainpaw are you hurt?" she asked, Rainpaw shook his fur as Poolpaw sniffed him for wounds.
"I'm fine, we were only practicing!" he exclaimed.
Bramblesky turned to her apprentice, "Come on lets go back to camp, you did some really good fighting today you deserve some fresh-kill" Bramblesky praised, Poolpaw's eyes lit up happily and she rushed back towards camp Bramblesky running after.
