Flamesky's Omen

Terrible Things

   "Flamepaw... Flamepaw wake up, it's time for our assessment today." Flamepaw got up groaning. She had been doing a lot of extra hunting and battle training for the past moon and she was so sore from the non stop training session.
    "Ughhhh, I wish they would be nice and give us a day or two to rest and recover, but nooooo they decided its a good idea to do intense tree fighting and then give us an assignment the next morning." Nightpaw giggled at Flamepaw and mewed, "Come on little miss Badger, we have mice and crows to catch! We are gonna be Warriors!" Flamepaw smiled and got out of her nest and walked out of the apprentice den with Nightpaw. They where getting assessed with her sister Mosspaw that morning, Ravenpaw, Ashpaw, and her brother Tallpaw were assessed the previous morning, but it was too hot for the other three apprentices to go, so they decided to do the other 3 the next morning. Flamepaw guessed that after they go, the six of them would get there warrior names, but she hopes non of them fail.
    "You three will be tested on your hunting skills and how well you can go around your environment." Stated Cinderfur. Flamepaw was looking at her mentor and hoping that she won't let her down. "But you may not help each other, you need to do this on your own, this assessment also shows us how well you each do independently." Sunfur, Nighpaws mentor, said. Flamepaw liked Sunfur, he was a fun cat to be around and he comes up with the weirdest story's to tell.
"Lastly, you three need too be safe, there are lots of things that could hurt you, but if anyone of you run into trouble, we will be watching you, but you won't be able to see us. Good luck." Mewed Bluetail, Mosspaw's mentor. Flamepaw liked her too. She was the newest warrior and she was her friend when she was in the nursery and would play with Mosspaw, Tallpaw, and her.
"Good luck you two and may Starclan light your path." Mewed Flamepaw to her friend and sister.
"You too Flamepaw." Mewed Mosspaw. Flamepaw knew her sister wouldn't have a hard time hunting, Mosspaw was probably the best hunter out of all the apprentices. She helped Flamepaw make it easier for her to hunt because of her Orange tabby pelt, it made it hard to hunt. Thanks to her sister, she probably wouldn't do to well in the assessment.
As they left, Flamepaw could hear Cinderfur yowl, "Good luck you three, make sure you all met back here at sunhigh, and may Starclan light your path!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It has been a few hours and Flamepaw has got at least three pieces of pray, two mice and a black bird. She hopes that Cinderfur saw her catch it and will be proud.
I think I could catch one more pice of pray, maybe if I can find a vole that would make me satisfied. Flamepaw thought as she was walking through the forest. She sniff the air to see if she could find a vole. She smelled one and started to stalk towed the sent and she was down-wind from it so she started stalking toward the pice of pray.
Come on, just a little more Flamepaw, you got this. If you can just get this last pice of pray... Flamepaw scrunched up her hunches and pounced. She landed squarely on its back and killed it with a swift bit to the neck. Full of pride, Flamepaw picked up the vole and started to head toward her other prices of pray. Suddenly, Flamepaw heard a twig snap behind her. She dropped her vole and looked back.
"Hello? Cinderfur is that you?" Flamepaw sniffed the air, it definitely wasn't Cinderfur, it was a foul sent. It wasn't fox or badger, but something else, something she has smelled before, blood... But it's not blood of a mouse or a bird... But of... A cat... Flamepaw could feel her hart start to pound faster and her eyes widened. She sheathed her claws and puffed out her fur.
"Show yourself! Whoever you are, your not welcome in Thunderclan!" Flamepaw yowled, and as she thought no cat was there, she could see two yellow eyes. And moments later, a black cat with blood on his jaws came out of the darkness.
"Hello Flamepaw, hehe your smaller than I expected, but that means an easier meal for me..." The black cat started stalking toward Flamepaw but she would not back down. She's going to prove that she's not worthless and she's going to protect her clan or she's going to die trying!
"Take one more paw-step and you'll regret it..." Flamepaw was about to pounce on the black cat and show him that she may be small but she can fight, "Or you will do what? Oh please, your just another mouth to feed in Thunderclan... Your a worthless piece of fox-dug! And I'm going to do the same thing to you as I did to your sister, except I'm going to makes sure you are for sure dead!" The black cat jumped at Flamepaw and she moved out of the way of the cat.
"That was you!? You monster! You are not going to hurt anyone else in my clan!" Flamepaw jumped on the cat and dug her claws in his back. "Get off me runt!" The black cat hissed as he threw her off his back, and she landed on her paws. Flamepaw jumped back at the cat but the cat saw her coming and dug his claws in Flamepaws shoulder and pinned her to the ground. "Hehe, you thought you could bet me? Ha! You are pathetic... No one will stop me... And I will pick off every cat in that clan and no one will stop me!" The black cat took his claws and scraped it down Flamepaw's shoulder leaving three large claw-marks. The cat let go of her and disappeared back into the darkness and left Flamepaw alone.
I need to get all my pray and head back to camp and tell Redstar and Mintpool! Flamepaw grabbed her vole in her mouth and headed back to grab the rest of her pray and headed back to camp.
