Darkstar's Changing Future

Chapter 4

**6 moons later**

The dark brown apprentice padded into the training hollow his amber eyes glistened as he walked beside his mentor, Hawkgaze. "Do you remember the first fighting move I taught you?" His mentor went on without a second of hesitation. "Yes, the counterattack blow to the left of the head" He repeated calmly while, watching Russetpaw and Silverpaw train in the center of the clearing. "I think you can join them now" Hawkgaze meowed while padding over to Flintnose and Meadowpounce. Darkpaw just arrived in time to hear Meadowpounce meow sternly to Hawkgaze. "Show us what he can do" The tortoise shell tom flicked his tail while staring at Darkpaw mischievously. "Darkpaw, Silverpaw show me what you got" The silver gray apprentice snapped her head to face him, her light blue eyes glistened dangerously like a fox's. Russetpaw slipped away from her grasp at that moment and padded, over to her mentor Meadowpounce. Silverpaw stood in the center of the clearing her light blue eyes glowed and Darkpaw stood across from her. She leaped at him with her claws sheathed, the silver gray tabby apprentice landed on him. He whipped his head around and went limp like he has given up. His mentor Hawkgaze stared at him nervously, Flintnose smiled and Meadowpounce laughed. Silverpaw smiled and relaxed her muscles releasing her grip on him slightly. Darkpaw sprung up feeling Silverpaw gasp in a state of shock. He spun around swiftly to face her, his amber eyes glistened dangerously at her and he ran at her. His claws glistened in the sun as he leaped into the air, Darkpaw landed on Silverpaw after he sheathed his claws in mid air thanks to his mentor. Silverpaw snarled in a real way while unsheathing her claws, her light blue eyes glistened with a hint of nervousness as she used her claws and dug them into his chest. The spikey brown apprentice yowled in pain and surprise, he narrowed his amber eyes and slashed his long sharp claws across her muzzle. Whimpering the silver gray tabby she-cat backed away from him with mock fear in her eyes. "Darkpaw!" He heard his mentor come at him with force. "What were you thinking unsheathing your claws and using them on a CLANMATE of all cats!" Darkpaw whipped around to face him. "Silverpaw took out her claws first!" He hissed in desperation and agony. "You can't punish me only" Flintnose padded over to Hawkgaze with stealthly moves that showed how much hatred he showed toward the spikey brown apprentice. "Silverpaw said she didn't unsheathe​ her claws" The flame colored tom spat his words at Hawkgaze, his light green eyes glistened with anger and a hint of concern for his apprentice. "She unsheathed her claws first!" Darkpaw couldn't resist hissing at the stubborn warrior who always had to believe his apprentice's words. Flintnose and Hawkgaze shot the young apprentice a glare, the dark tabby brown warrior tail flicked nervously. "Flintnose...." He began but the other younger warrior cut him off. "No...Your apprentice deserves to be punished while Silverpaw is treated for the wounds he gave her!" Darkpaw dropped to the ground his chest suddenly feeling like a storm in a cage. "Darkpaw!" Flintnose and Hawkgaze yowled at the same time in fear. All of sudden the spikey brown apprentice heard more words coming from Silverpaw. "What he deserves" She had muttered while lifting him with Russetpaw. He closed his eyes and dreamed.
