thanks for my followers and reviews. I'm glad you people like it. I'm gonna start giving shout outs to the first five people who review my story after it's been posted and if anyone wants me to I do not mind if you would like me to help spread the news about a new story you write. It would be my pleasure to help. Now for the new chapter!
"I'm looking forward to teaching you about being a Lawyer."
My mentor was no other but Moonstar. Well fox-dung.
"Copperkit!" Moonstar said; prodding me awake.
I opened my tired eyes and looked up to see her glaring down at me. "Why are you falling asleep in the middle of my lesson?"
I yawned and looked her in the eye saying, "cuz this is boring. It's been five days of nothing but boring things on how to be a lawyer. I don't even wanna be in Truthclan."
She obviously faked shock but I could see the way her shoulders relaxed that she was thrilled I wasn't going to join Truthclan. "Well, I'm sorry you feel that way, but for your final test you need to know these things."
"Why do I need to spend time learning about being a lawyer if I could've learned that as an apprentice?"
"You have to start somewhere," she mewed.
Then she continued her lesson on "The Best Way to Strategize for an Upcoming Trial". The most boring thing I've had to listen to all week.
"When your opponent has gotten the one who is obviously innocent or correct depending on the trial. Now when this happens you find a way to make them seem innocent but also keeping true to Truthclan's saying, which is what?"
"Stay true to the truth." I yawned.
She was getting irritated with me. I could tell by the way her calls unsheathed a bit, her tail flicking, and her fur beginning to bristling. "Copperkit, why do you have to be so difficult?"
"I would like to know what you are hiding from not only me but your clan."
"Copperkit," she sighed, "your too young."
"I'm not young enough to know that you and probably every leader in the clans are hiding something important from us!"
She was trembling now with anger and her glare made me shy away. "Listen, Copperkit. I have been more than patient with you. Now you will listen to me and learn what Truthclan has to offer and then you'll go off to Medicineclan and I will hardly ever see you again," she said growling.
I nodded. "Good," she sighed. Then she continued with her lesson which I tried to pay attention to.
Finally, it was over. "You may go," She said. I got up to leave and walked towards the exit. "Oh, and Copperkit." I turned to look at her. "Don't ask other cats what you wanna know."
I nodded then left.
That night I was laying in my nest alone. Sandkit had gone to sleep with Leopardkit and Speedkit. They were becoming friends since they did a lot of their lessons together. I was a special case.
"Why don't you ever come and do lessons with us?" Sandkit had asked me.
"Oh uh, well, M-Moonstar thinks that if I choose Truthclan that I'll be an excellent lawyer so she's training me in private."
His eyes lit up and he said, "Wow! That's awesome!"
"Yeah," I said; avoiding his gaze, "she says I could be almost as good as her current lawyers."
"That's amazing!"
I had lied to my own brother. I felt awful. Now. Laying here. Alone. I realized that there had to be something I could do instead of lay here, and continue learning about "being a lawyer".
Bearclaw came in and went to his nest and curled up. "Copperkit, did you eat?" He mumbled.
"I ate a mouse."
He acknowledged my answer with a grumble before he starting softly snoring. I got out of my nest and walked outside his den. I looked up at the sky and stared at each of the cats that once went through what I am.
The moon, which was now waning, was giving off faint light causing slight shadows. I heard light pawsteps not to far from me. I looked to my left and faintly saw a gold pelt pass. "Hey! Where are you going?" The figure stopped and slowly turned to look in my direction. It was Lionspirit. I had met him a few days ago when he came to Bearclaw's den to talk about a trial coming up.
"Copperkit? Shouldn't you be asleep?" He asked. He was trying to keep his normal facade.
"I'm thinking so I can't go to sleep," I told him. "Where are you going?"
He looked side to side before saying, "I'm going for a walk."
"Can I come?"
"No. Kits are not allowed to leave camp unless for rotations."
"Please! I won't tell anyone! I promise! I don't wanna just sit here! I won't be a problem!"
"I'm sorry, Copperkit, but you can't." With that he left.
Where is he going? I thought. I got up and ran after him. I saw him walking towards the entrance and I called quietly, "Lionspirit!" He turned around. He paused and I caught up to him.
"Copperkit! I told you no!"
"Please, Lionspirit! Please let me come! I won't tell a soul about what I did! Please!"
He looked behind us, sighed, and nodded. "You were probably gonna follow me anyway. Just follow me and keep quiet."
I nodded vigorously and followed him into the forest. We followed the path that led back to the Gathering place. I opened my mouth but nothing smelled different compared to when I first came here. The scent of cats were faint but there.
We slid down the slope and walked towards the center. Then towards the other end of Truthclan territory towards Warclan.
We didn't go into the territory though. We turned left and walked to a place covered in grass and moss. Well actually everything here is covered in grass. He pushed aside the moss and a hole opened up. He walked in and I followed.
Then he pushed the moss up. I could faintly see but not well. He pressed his tail on my head and I followed him blindly into the tunnel. I felt wind starting to crawl through my fur after we walked for a while.
The tunnel opened up into a cavern. There was faint light coming from a small hole in the top so I knew we weren't too deep in the ground but we were far away from the clearing.
"Lionspirit!" A creamy she cat with light brown flecks on her back and legs, white tail tip, and one amber eye and one green eye mewed. She rubbed cheeks with him affectionately and I stared confused.
There were many cats in the cavern. More than I could count because of course they were all moving or in groups.
"Where's Leapordkit?" Lionspirit asked.
The she cat said, "she's in Medicineclan. Thank you for watching her while she was there."
"Anything for our daughter," Lionspirit said. The she cat smiled then seemed to realize I was there.
"Intruder!" She yowled. Everyone jumped up and ran to her.
"No no no! She came with me! We can trust her. I feel it," Lionspirit shouted.
Everyone stared at me like they couldn't trust me but the she cat nodded. "what's your name apprentice?"
"Uh I'm not an apprentice."
"She's a kit!" The she cat wailed. "I don't even bring Leapordkit here!"
"Specklestar I know I made a mistake but if I didn't then she would've followed me."
Specklestar sighed but looked at me again saying, "what's your name kit?"
"I'm, Copperkit, from Huntingclan."
"Well, Copperkit, welcome to Rebelclan."
