Warrior cats: Ivypool: a hard choice

Chapter sixteen

"She left on a mission to save the forest from the drought. Lionblaze went with her. All the clans agreed to send two cats to go on the journey." I said to Hawkfrost.

"When did they leave?"

"Yesterday."

"When will they be back?"

"I don't know."

"Do you know where exactly they went?"

"No."

"Alright well, we had better get training."

"What will you teach me today?"

"How to use the trees as an advantage. Get up into a tree and I will follow you after a few seconds. Do what you think would be best to make me fall out of the tree."

"What if you get hurt?"

"I won't and soon you'll see why."

I went up into the tree and hid in the branches.

Soon he came and I waited u too he was close enough that I could leap onto him. I leaped onto him and clung on no matter how hard he tried to shake me off. Eventually he shakes me off and flew me across the branch we were on. I got up and just in time for him to swing a blow and miss. I dug my claw into his paw and and scratched him across his side with my other paw. He yowled in pain but I knew he would want me to keep going so I did. He used his head to knock me backwards. He leaped onto my back and dug him claws in. I let out a scream. I rolled over but the branch wasn't big enough. Me and him both fell over the side. I clung onto the branch by my front paws and Hawkfrost fell but onto the bark. He clung onto the back and signalled for me to climb down. So I did.

"How am I supposed to use the tree as an advantage?"

"You can climb up the tree and hid in the leafs and branches. Wait for your opponent to get close enough just like you did. Once your opponent is close enough you jump out and either leap onto them and roll over so they fall out of the tree, or you leap into their side and push them out that way."

"And than I either fall onto the bark like you did or I cling onto the branch like I did. But how did you fall onto the bark like that?"

"I will teach you."
