Slaight

Chapter 13

Another little filler thing, need ideas!

Slight's pov

Leopardpaw and Goldpaw were talk and babbling about what they wanted to learn, Jaypaw was walking by my side and talking to Shinepaw about what to expect from the other clans, she complained about how she already knew that they were terrible cats and never wanted to see them again, wait till she goes to a gathering. Yet again though, i haven't been to one either sense i was to busy wanting to train and not make new friends and meet the cats, i can barely be near the border without gagging at the smell. "I'm so happy we finally got out apprentices" Rainpelt says happily, jumping up as if ant's were in his pelt. "Calm down, i know it's exiting but they aren't clan born so we need to train extra hard to make them fit in perfectly" I say walking ahead and away from the kit-acting cat I hear him huff and mumble 'stuck-up furball' I watch as Leopardpaw follows close behind, i smile at her loyalty and turn to face everyone else, that consists of Nightheart, Snakeheart, Sparroweye, and Rainpelt. "Berryfoot want's two of us to hunt and the others to battle train, Nightheart" i watch my mother purr at my commands and nods at her name" Take Rainpelt and you apprentices to battle training" she nods and leads Hailpaw like a kit, her tail around his back with Rainpelt and Goldpaw following but not without the golden apprentice touching his nose to Leopardpaw as a goodbye. "As for us" i start pointing my tail to the remaining cats. Snakeheart with Shinepaw, and Sparroweye with Jaypaw. "We are going to hunt by the river" i kink the tip of my tail signaling we should head out. Once near the river Jaypaw looks at it with wide green eyes. "I don't think i'll ever be big enough to fight against the current" he says sadly, putting a paw in the water and watching as it pulls at his white paw fur. "One day you all will be able to swim this, and Thunderclan will watch with mouths open wide in surprise" I hear someone say, i look across the river to see Hawkfur. Last time i saw him was long ago when i was training in the dark forest but he's much bigger now, making me feel small again, his eyes watching us with amusement, making Shinepaw shrink back. "What do you want Hawkfur?" i ask with a  warning telling him now's not the time. "I just wanted to watch as the apprentices learn, but i'm good now" he changed his answer as Snakeheart gives him a warning look. Snakeheart was a warrior way before Hawkfur or even I was born, maybe when Nightheart was about to become an apprentice, so anyone would think twice on fighting against his word. As he walked away Shinepaw covered her nose with a paw. "He stinks" that causes Sparroweye to burst out laughing. We continue out training, I tough Leopardpaw how to fish and track down birds in case the river gets poisoned and we need to eat something else, he learned fast and easily caught a fish bigger then her! I watch as a bird she was stalking starts to fly away, when i was about several tail-lengths away she jumped up, catching it with out-stretched paws. "Nice job Leopardpaw!" Jaypaw purrs to the she-cat as she picks up the bird. "Thanks!". When we got back to camp everyone gathered around the apprentices, watching as they all dropping big pieces of pray for the clan. "Get some rest" i say to Leopardpaw as she struggles to stay on her paws. With the nudge on my nose she makes her way to bed, Tigerkit and Frostkit came out and helped her, listening to her stories of the big fish she caught.

I wake up to the familiar sound of Hawkfur outside my den, i carefully escaped Sparkeye's hold on me and followed him outside. "I told you we were going to stop meeting that night when i first started training Leopardpaw" i hissed quietly. "That was four moons ago, you can't let me go that easily" he said, hurt crossing his eyes. So basically as an apprentice we would meet and play at night and when we became warriors we'd play and hang in the dark forest, but once i got an apprentice i couldn't train in the dark forest anymore unless i want her dragged into this, witch cant happen so i stopped meeting their and Hawfur wont leave me be. "I know you love me Slaigh, you can't deny it" also when we met out names were shortened. "My names Slaighfur, not Slaight ok!? Get out of here" i hiss, he looks hurt but leaves. I sigh and go into the middle of camp sense the sun is starting to rise, Tangledkit and Littlekit were following Frostkit outside the den for the first time, Tangledkit's fur got stuck between the branches, the sticks twirled inside the curls of his fur, his sister helped him out as he grumbled about his fur getting stuck on everything, Thundertail followed the kit's out with Marigoldkit and Flamekit following behind her, Honeyfur was forcing them outside the den sense the didn't want to leave it. "Frostkit, remember, careful with the younger ones sense Tigerkit isn't feeling well they have to stay out of the den" Moonfur shouts to the kit across the camp, he nods and plays with the kits moons younger then him. Every time he said something Marigoldkit would say something else just to argue, but eventually agreed to whatever he said, she's so stubborn unlike her leader-like sister Flamekit who seemed like the only one who kept the nursery standing beside their mother. "Slaighfur!" I turn to see Sparkeye, he licked me over the ear affectionately. "One day you'll have those little monsters of your own" he said with one last lick before going off with his brother. I felt heat raise to my cheeks before following Mistpelt who was walking with Shinepaw and Snowfoot. I sigh, missing the feeling of Jaypaw wanting and needing me in the nursery with him, and always wanting to talk, but now he was older and claimed he didn't need to be kit-treated anymore. Littlekit was playing around trying to see her tail that was to short for her seeing, i smile at the image of little kits of my own, but much need to be done before i think of that.
