Silentpaw twitched her tail-tip with annoyance as Littlepool let out a purr. "Great hunting, Whitepaw! You'll make a fine warrior," he meowed as Whitepaw held her vole that she caught in her jaws. Silentpaw let out a inward growl. Littlepool and Sootdaze had brought their apprentices out for hunting, and Silentpaw hadn't caught anything, whereas the prey was practically leaping inside of Whitepaw's mouth.
"Silentpaw? Did you even hear what Sootdaze asked?" Silentpaw snapped out of her thoughts as Littlepool was lashing his tail.
"I.... er.... uh, no, I didn't." she whispered, staring down at her paws. Littlepool wasn't buying her guilt.
"Your lack of any attention span at all astounds me. Why can't you be more like Whitepaw, hum? You get distracted very easily, and I'm planning to tell Fernstar this," he growled, whipping around and facing Whitepaw, speaking to his apprentice. I'm always never good enough! Whitepaw gets all the toms, the attention and the praise! The only thing I'm good at is fighting.... Silentpaw thought with increasing anger as she bitterly stared at her sister.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The rest of the day hadn't gotten any better, and Silentpaw wished she could crawl into a hole, and be away from it all. As the sun set, Silentpaw joined her denmate, Brookpaw, in the apprentices den.
"Silentpaw, are you okay?" Brookpaw asked, leaning forward to sniff the black she-cat.
"Yes, Brookpaw, I'm fine," she lied, bounding into the small cave that made the apprentices den and curled up in her nest. I never get noticed.... she thought, envying Whitepaw as Darkpaw fluffed out her nest so that it was comfortable for her to sleep in. The quiet black she-cat drifted into sleep, wishing her dreams would treat her ever more kindly.
She awoke in a dark forest, the moss eerily glowing in the faint moonlight. Where am I? She thought, nervously looking around to see if anyone had the answer to her inner question.
"Welcome, young Silentpaw." a voice called into the distance. Silentpaw looked around, and a stopped as a huge shadow drifted towards her. A large white tom with icy dark blue eyes was hungrily staring at her. Silentpaw shivered as she stared into his eyes, making her feel like ice.
"We have been waiting for you," Yet another voice whispered. A light brown tabby stalked out of the gorse bushes, her tail long and crooked.
"M-Me? Who are you?" she stuttered, staring at the unfamiliar cats.
"I'm Coldgaze, and this is Slatetail." The white tom spoke up, and flicked his tail to the long, crooked-tailed light brown tabby known as Slatetail.
"We want you to train with us," Slatetail growled, her amber eyes inspecting Silentpaw. "Aren't you tired of being second best compared to Whitepaw? You'll become a better warrior, better at what you love, fighting." she hissed to Silentpaw.
Silentpaw looked from Coldgaze to Slatetail. If I want to be a better warrior, and better than Whitepaw, then I'll train.
"Yes, I'll train with you."
Brookpaw padded in the apprentice den after Silentpaw. She nodded and waved her tail in greeting to Darkpaw before she sat in her nest, though she wasn't tired.
ReplyDeleteSilentpaw was so excited! I will finally get noticed! I am a better Shadeclan cat than Whitepaw will ever be, and I'll prove it! She settled down in her sleep and asked Slatetail and Coldgaze, "When will we begin?"
ReplyDeleteCan this be part of a prophecy? Because I have an idea.
ReplyDeleteFour* will venture,
Four will find,
Four will rescue so keep in mind,
One that threatens is
One you trust,
So be faithful in the clan of stars,
If you don't let your faith rust,
The four will save the Shade**.
*= Or any number
**= Or the FERN, -I like SHADE better- but it's your choice.
Also, If this works, I'm going to make a cat who is one of the of cats in the group.(if it doesn't, I'll still keep her.)
Name: Dappledice
Rank: Warrior
Gender: She-cat
Description: Dappledice is a pretty tortoiseshell she cat with emerald green eyes. She has an unconditional love for the clan and will protect until her last breath. She is brave, self confident and very loyal.
