Massacre of Apprentinces

[♦Ginger♦]

Shockpaw bounded happily into the forest. His very first actual training! The sunny day with few black clouds and somewhat strong breeze. Though none of that ruffled this apprentice's attitude. As far as he was concerned it was bright sunny day. He walked behind his mentor occasionally getting ahead in pure excitement. He fell behind every time he realized he had no idea where he was actually going.

They passed a few streams so small it seemed as if there was a drought. Only once did Shockpaw actually ended up getting dirty and stuck in the mud. He licked it of course. Which he didn't bother taking note of his mentor structure while he had done it.

When Shockpaw reached the training ground his mentor choose he jumped over a small flower in pure joy. He looked around exciting. Words flying out of his mouth about training techniques and what his mentor might be teaching him. He bounded around as if to try and practice the moves. He looked one hundred percent like a kitten.

*Whitepaw*

A beautiful she cat was training hard and using what moves Fallenstar had shown her during times when he trained her. Though those times where when he wasn't busy being a leader and setting up huntingor border patrols. Whitepaw was seven moons old now and has been Fallenstar's apprentice for about a moon now. He always told Whitepaw that she trains herself to hard and has no friends. Whitepaw didn't really talk to anyone and well, she wanted to keep her promise to her father to never give up. Whitepaw wanted to make him proud as he watched over her from.......StarClan was it. That was were all there dead went or it's what he mother told her along time ago. But right now she was just wanting to train and to be strong enough to protect the clan. Whitepaw heared someone coming and smelt the air to know it was some Clan mates. Whitepaw continued to train silently and practice the moves shown to her. She left a claw mark in a tree near her and did a high jump attack that Whitepaw actually make herself. That jump attack was of her own making.

You could always tell by the look on Whitepaw's face that she took this serious at heart. She never wanted a Clan mate to feel the pain that she had to go through. Whitepaw's Siblings went through the loss to, but it hit her the hardest. Because she was the youngest out of all three of them. Crescentflight and Raincloud were apprentice already about to be make warriors when mother dead and they were young warriors when father's death came next. Whitepaw kept practiceing the moves faster and faster while fighting an protend Fox or another Clan cat. The moves were done profectly and she never lost eye to eye with the protend other cat or fox.

[atrb=background,http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/1392/middleash.png] Amber eyes searchingly scanned the forest. He decided to finally take his errant apprentice away from cleaning elder dens and fetching herbs for the medicine cat. He felt incredibly bad, even through his apparent dislike for Shockpaw. The muscle in his clean cut jaw twitched as he watched Shockpaw bound forwards, and then fall back uncertainly. He wished that just once, his apprentice could own a sense of maturity. Knowing that this was never going to happen, it only made him more disgruntled. He continued scenting the air for possible dangers. He didn't want to take this thing out and try to battle anything larger than himself. Knowing Shockpaw, he would probably get the both of them killed. Scenting nothing but a small she-cat a short distance away, he decided that this cleaning would do for now. Settling on his haunches, Ashcloud's eyes contained nothing but learned patience. In a way, he was excited to teach this small tom the ways of a warrior. He had started to get bored of collecting prey. Hopefully, with Starclan's luck, this apprentice would shape up to be a normal, decent warrior. The strong wind buffeted his fur as he waited for his apprentice to settle down enough to listen to him. From past experience, he knew that if he spoke too soon, the apprentice would hear nothing, and he would have to repeat himself. If his species had eyebrows, they would surely be raised in what one could call an irritated facial expression. However, instead of eyebrows, silky white whiskers pointed forward. He was beginning to wish that they had trained the day before this. It was bright all day yesterday, and today, the sky was looking like it had a storm in its belly. Focusing, he stared evenly at his apprentice, and began the lesson with a swift slide to his right, and a quick nip on the ear as he went sailing over his apprentices head to land on a rock that had been waiting for him.

[♦Ginger♦]

Emberash was told by the leader to watch his apprentice whenever he was too busy to train her. She found the job of being assistant mentor wasn't to bad. All she had to do was leave the camp and watch the apprentice practice different and more creative moves. The most newest one the apprentice came up with had to do with scratching trees.. Emberash didn't understand it and didn't care to learn it. She just wanted to lay out in the grass and relax. The sun was soon covered with clouds making her turn a tad grumpy. She caught the scent of more clanmates coming up she picked herself slowly off the ground and watched as the clumsy Shockpaw and his calm mentor made their way. She flicked a ear at the thought of how Shockpaw ended up with the one tom who was rumored to hate him. She would never understand Fallenstar's logic on that set up. All she knew was that Fallenstar seemed to always know more then the warriors themselves.

She stood up and stretched wishing the sun would come back brighter then before. She liked the sun against her fur. When she was finished stretching she looked over at the apprentice she was to watch and help mentor. The apprentice looked lonely. Was always seemingly lonely. Emberash whiskers flicked as a thought hit her. She put the two apprentices together and figured they'll have fun. Whitepaw may even make a friend other warriors and the leader. Emberash padded over to Ashcloud ignoring everything around her. She focused on one thing. Getting permission to have the two apprentices fight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shockpaw suddenly felt something above him. His head barely missed his mentor's claw. He watched awed by his mentor. The warrior landed perfectly onto the stone as if in complete ease. "Wow..... OH oh!! Show me how to do that!!"

[/color] thought of all the cool moves escaped his mind, he only wanted to know how to jump and land gracefully. Something he, even though a cat, could not master. He suddenly felt a presence approaching and turned to see the snotty white she-cat apprentice and her mentor. She claimed Fallenstar was her mentor. Shockpaw never saw them together, she's a lair. She she-cat who was really the mentor of Whitepaw spoke clear making Shockpaw's paws tingle. "Ashcloud, do you want to fight Shockpaw with Whitepaw? It would help both their training and allow teamwork so to speak."[/color] Shockpaw loved the sound of it. He was practically jumping up and down. he wanted to get back at the lying she-cat. She was only training.. Longer then him. Not to hard.. Right? "Oh!OH!! Please please!!"[/color]

*Whitepaw*

The silver spotted tabby followed behind Emberash silently. She knew that Fallenstar had trusted this she cat with keeping an eye on her and all. But Whitepaw wasn't sure what to really think about Emberash. After losing her parents, Whitepaw only really trusted her sibs or Fallenstar for some reason. Fallenstar always seem to remind her of Crowfeather her father who would always spend time with her when a kit. He stayed with her after Dawnheart dead and he would take her out on the territory to have a fun. Whitepaw felt like a kit again when with Fallenstar, but she knew when to acted her age around him to. Whitepaw looked at Ashcloud on the stone and than at Shockpaw who was looking ready for a fight. She wandered if he knew that she has had a moon more training then himself. Fallenstar has always told her to try and make friends even with some of the warriors too. Whitepaw leaped on to the stone next to Ashcloud and sat beside him with a unsure smile "Hi, I don't think we've really met. I'm Whitepaw" she said in a low tone. Leaping long distantes were one of the frist things she asked Fallenstar to teach her. He even said she might be able to take on a warrior within another moon. Whitepaw never really smiled around anyone but Fallenstar. He was like the father she had lost and with him always trying to have her open up to other's. She was happy that he was her mentor and would claw anyone who would lay a paw on him.

[atrb=background,http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/1392/middleash.png] A pair of cold amber eyes stared hard at the other apprentice. Ashcloud knew that his own apprentice would never last against Fallenstar's apprentice. She was obviously more advanced than Shockpaw was. Internally, he cringed at Shockpaw's behaviour. Whiskers drawing forward in almost an amused expression, he watched Emberash progress across the clearing towards him. He always did like her. Deep down, of course. Because he didn't like anyone. Of course. He kept telling himself that. He did, however, enjoy her face. The small red mark looked like a piece of the sun got stuck to it, which fit because of her name. His eyes refocused, sliding over to the apprentice that had made herself quite comfortable on his rock. Feeling less standoffish than usual, he dipped his head evenly towards her. Although a strong misogynist, he would not tolerate rudeness. "Ashcloud", he replied. Resuming his study of his apprentice, he pinpointed a few weak points and strong points. Unfortunately for the both of them, the weak outweighed the strong. Watching Shockpaw practically jump out of his fur with excitement, he nodded in agreement to the training proposal, resolving to train everyday for the next moon. They would have to go hard to catch up to this apprentice. Suddenly remembering his apprentice's lack of skills, he flinched, outwardly, this time, he turned almost desperately to the small she-cat perched beside him. Quietly, he asked, "Go easy on him? He's not all.. there."

The gray tom sauntered along the tall grasses, his tail waving nonchalantly back and forth as he followed his apprentice's scent. He padded through the field, stopping every now and then to scent the air and make sure he was going the right way. The sky was bright blue, interrupted only by a few lonely clouds slowly blowing across it. Fallenstar loved the fields; it was so beautiful here. Every time he visited it seemed to have great weather and abundant prey. Speaking of which, he thought as he spotted a small mouse nibbling on a grass seed. The mouse's back was to him, and the wind was in his favor. The big cat smiled as he crouched down into position, slowly placing his paws in just the right places. Suddenly he heard cats' voices. " Ashcloud, do you want to fight Shockpaw with Whitepaw? It would help both their training and allow teamwork so to speak. " Forgetting about the mouse, he stood up sharply, startling the small creature and sending is scrambling for cover.

Filled with excitement, the leader bounded into the clearing, nearly running into Emberash. Fallenstar took step back and nodded at the she-cat. " I'm sorry; my mistake. " Once the big gray cat made his apology clear, he turned to survey the rest of he crowd. His eyes passed over aShcloud, Shockpaw, and then Whitepaw. He smiled when he saw his apprentice. " A mock battle would be a wonderful training excersize. Whitepaw and I having been practicing new combat excersizes for quite some time now. " Fallenstar flashed a smile at Whitepaw. " I trust you to do your best and avoid beating Shockpaw up too much. However, that doesn't mean you can go easy on him. Give it your all! " Fallenstar purred and knocked heads with his apprentice before backing away to sit down next to Emberash. The leader switched his gaze to Shockpaw. " If Ashcloud says you're okay to start, go on ahead! "

" this is you speaking! "

" this is someone else speaking! "

[♦Ginger♦]

Emberash noticed the presence of her leader. She backed up and nodded toward him. "Fallenstar."

[/color]. She then turned and padded off back toward the camp. She really looked forward to setting in the sun near a waterfall and relaxing. She loved the warm sun against her pelt. She gave one last look behind her directly at Ashcloud, blinked her left eye, and then headed right back to camp as if nothing happened.

---

Shockpaw didn't notice the leader's arrival until he spoke. He turned around and gapped as the she-cat "mentor" was now walking off. Whitepaw was serious.. No.. It couldn't be real.. She wasn't really apprenticed to Fallenstar. Yet, the more Fallenstar said the less and less Shockpaw believed his assumptions were right. He saw himself over and over being murdered and being scarred for life. Then he thought of that white she-cat and figured he could beat her. She was a girl.[/blockquote][/size]

*Whitepaw*

the young apprentice leaped down from the stone beside Ashcloud to meet with her mentor. She smiled a little brightly at the older tom and listened to what he had to say about the practice fight. After Knocking heads with her mentor; Whitepaw purried at Fallenstar. Whitepaw rubbed her muzzle with him and sit beside him waiting for Ashclouds answer to Fallenstars question. The young she cat trusted Fallenstar to the fullist. Whitepaw trusted him with her life if ever it was in a danger of dieing. If she was every to lose her sight in one eye or both; she would trust him to take good care of her.

Whitepaw looked at Shockpaw with bright blue eyes and couldn't wait to see how she faired fighting him. She wasn't too small for her age and size didn't matter in battle. It was either life or death most of the time in battle. But Whitepaw beileved love was a battle to and she blushed under her fur. She turned away from Shockpaw and turned to the sky as if it was interested. But actually was interesting looking at the sky. She saw a few clouds and smiled as a breeze blow through her fur. It was so much better to cool off like this. She had been getting a little warm from her solo training and was happy for the breeze.

[atrb=background,http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/1392/middleash.png] Inwardly pleased at Emberash's farewell to him, he found it hard to focus on what his leader was trying to tell him. Nodding vaguely, he hoped that this was an appropriate response to what was going on. He caught onto the last bit of Fallenstar's words, and heard mock battle. He snapped back to what was going on and quickly replied, "I ..need a few moments with my apprentice for a minute." Guiding his apprentice a small distance away from the group, he quietly told him to look for any weaknesses that the she-cat might have, and her battle techniques, and target those first. Slipping in there somewhere that he believed in his apprentice and he would surely win. Setting his doubts and pride aside, he waited for the world to come crashing down around his ears once Fallenstar saw the lack of training in his apprentice. Settling back onto his rock, he waited for the mock battle to start, hoping the she-cat wouldn't be too difficult of an opponent.

Fallenstar nodded toward Emberash as she left. It was very kind of her to watch Whitepaw until Fallenstar had arrived. Fallenstar looked the two apprentices up and down. Ashcloud was giving Shockpaw some last minute instructions. Whitepaw will be fine. She doesn't need my help. Whitepaw seemed a bit distracted. The big gray cat wondered what was on her mind. He shrugged it off and lashed his tail. " Well, it's about time we get started. Let the battle begin! " Fallenstar shuffled in his seat, anticipating what would happen next. He half-expected Whitepaw to wait until Shockpaw to move then dodge and take advantage of him, but the other half of him told him she would head straight on in attack. Fallenstar blinked as he switched bck to reality.

[♦Ginger♦]

Shockpaw listened to his mentor's words. He nodded taking them all in, as amazing as that was. He then faced his opponent pin pointing nothing.. How could one even know a weak and strong spot? This girl was pretty and pretty.. and pretty white. Her fur would obviously be a weakness.. It mean it stood out like a sore thumb. "Her fur! It's her weakness!"

[/color] then he charged toward the she-cat with absolutely no idea how to fight.[/blockquote][/size]

//one sec... LOL!!!! okay I'm done. Sorry, for the short post.//

[Breezy~Chan]

(DONE)

*Whitepaw*

The young apprentices SILVER spotted tabby fur looked like sparkling silver it's self in the sun light. There was a little bit of dirt on one of her four WHITE PAWS and decided to lick it off. She didn't care if it was dirty and didn't mind dirt at all. Whitepaw was just bored waiting for Ashcloud to give his apprentice the ok to practice with her. She over heard what the other young apprentice said and sighed "Why do I end up with the crush on a fool" she thought to herself. But snaped out of her thoughts at the sight of Shockpaw rushing her. Whitepaw watched him for a moment and at the last moment jumped aside from his attack. She wasn't just going to stand there. Whitepaw took her chance to pin him while he was surprised from her quick move. She looked at him for a moment "You don't rush any cat no matter there gender......they could kill you with one move and it's over" she whispered in his ear. Whitepaw leaped off of him and quickly turned around to look at the tom with bright blue eyes sparkling. Whitepaw waited for his next move and kept her tail up high for good balance.
