(Here's another Ravenpaw artwork. Drew it today. Kinda rushed-)

Ravenpaw awoke the next morning to muttering. Annoyed muttering.

𝐿𝑒𝑡 𝑚𝑒 𝑔𝑢𝑒𝑠𝑠... Ravenpaw thought, opening an eye to see Flamepaw with Dazzlepaw. 𝐾𝑛𝑒𝑤 𝑖𝑡.

"He's 𝑠𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 annoying. He can't do anything right!" Flamepaw complained, obviously about Ravenpaw. Dazzlepaw nodded agreeingly.

"Don't get me started," She said, groaning. "He's a brat. The curse suites him. He's a disgrace and traitor to our clan, getting Lionfern killed."

"Agreed," Flamepaw nodded quickly, glaring at Ravenpaw, who pretended to be asleep. 𝐼'𝑚 𝑠𝑜𝑜𝑜 𝑠𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑑, Ravenpaw thought. 𝐼'𝑚 𝑔𝑜𝑛𝑛𝑎 𝑔𝑒𝑡 𝑎 𝑟𝑢𝑛𝑡 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑡 𝑚𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑎 𝑠𝑝𝑜𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑑 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑡𝑜𝑜!

Ravenpaw decided to intervene. He sat up and cleared his throat to indicate he had heard.

Flamepaw quickly looked over angrily. "You're interupting our conversation, you foxheart," He growled.

"Oh, you mean your cat complaining session?" Ravenpaw retorted, flicking his tail impatiently. "I'm not deaf."

Dazzlepaw scoffed, as did Flamepaw. "You're lucky I don't claw your ears so you 𝑎𝑟𝑒." Dazzlepaw said Threatrningly.

𝑂𝑜ℎ, 𝐼'𝑚 𝑠𝑜𝑜𝑜 𝑠𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑑, ravenpaw thought to himself, glaring at them both.

"Or maybe Foxstar does it to 𝑦𝑜𝑢, when he finds out some little things about you." Ravenpaw mewed smugly, giving Dazzlepaw a look.

Dazzlepaw scoffed. "Like what?"

"Oh, maybe just your friendship with a few of our enemies, such as Brightpaw."

Flamepaw gasped, looking up at Dazzlepaw as he got up and moved away, arching his back in disgust. "Traitor!" He screeched loudly, making a few warrior pause at the sound.

"N-no! It isn't betrayal, it's just a Gathering friendship! Me and Brightpaw-" Dazzlepaw tried to say, before gettin cut off by Ravenpaw.

"You and Brightpaw would team up to kill Foxstar and Deathstar to be leader yourselves. I've seen it and heard it." Ravenpaw growled, and Dazzlepaw looked surprised.

"How 𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑒 you follow me into the woods at night? I could be making dirt!" She tried to use an excuse, but failed miserably.

"Or you could be planning my murder," Ravenpaw perked his ears up and looked at the entrance, noticing Foxstar 𝑤𝑎𝑠 listening the whole time. Or, most of it.

"F-foxstar! It's not what it seems like! He's lying! It's the curse getting to him!" Dazzlepaw stuttered, panicked and scared. Foxstar rolled his eyes.

"If you are caught leaving camp without supervision again, I will take care of you 𝑚𝑦𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑓. Got it?"

"Yes, Foxstar, understood." Dazzlepaw hung her head in shame, anger, and fear.

"Good. Now go find all your mentors and train. Winterpaw, Ottercloud, and Hornetclaw are waiting for you at the training hollow, Ravenpaw. And come with me, Flamepaw."

Everyone went to their designated places, Dazzlepaw training with Voleclaw, Flamepaw out hunting, and Ravenpaw on his way to meet with his mentor, Winterpaw, and her mentor.

𝐼𝑡'𝑠 𝑎 𝑠𝑙𝑜𝑤 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑡𝑜𝑑𝑎𝑦, Ravenpaw thought, flicking his tail as he left camp.
