[The Last Day]

[~*Snowstep]

Brightstream nodded with approval. "good. that's one part. the other vunerable part on a cat is the belly. the soft fur makes it easy to get hurt. and the face, including the ears." she listed. she made sure not to say things like 'the eyes are easy to claw out and the ears are easy to bite off', though she was about to. that was what Silentkill had taught her, but Brightstream didn't want to frighten Pondpaw, or have her running off to tell the clan leader. She herself hasn't learned much about fightning with her old mentor. Useless. she was taught only to 'never get hit, thus always on your feet'. Once again, useless. she learned how to kill thanks to Silentkill.

"Ok, remember that. now we're going to learn some more moves for attacking those areas." she stood up again, her claws flexing for preparation. "unsheath your claws, and standing back like before, swing back and hit a vital part of the face." And claw across your enemie's eyes. she added silently to herself. "try it on that bush." she flickered her tail towards a tall bramble bush just behind them.



Smokepaw padded around the marshes, with his head and tail down, dragging on the ground. he knew that today would be the last day he would be in WaterClan, at least for a while. or maybe the last time before he dies. that night, he felt so ready for everything. but today, looking around the territory he was so used to, he felt weak. he didn't know how he and the others would do this; how they could save the clans and live through it all.
he was simply visiting every place he's ever been to, storing the sights and scents deep within his mind. he wanted to think to himself, and convince himself that he had to go. he had to do everything he could. this would be the only chance for me to do something special; to be useful for once in my life.

OOC: I have a idea on how they can get into the tribe. Read first before I continue:


IC: Pondpaw nodded quickly, and got into position, facing the tall bramble bush. The slim she-cat apprentice put her paw up, and pictured a cat in the leaves. That leaf was the nose....the other over there was the right ear. Pondpaw's silver-blue paw whipped out, and ran quickly down the leaf that was supposed to mark the nose. If this was a real cat, they most likely would have had a split nose.

Pondpaw was about to look at her mentor, but she then jumped backwards, and away from the bush, before relaxing, and looking at her mentor. As her emerald eyes locked with her mentor's a image flashed before her. Her eyes grew wide, and jaws fell open. The emerald orbs were almost swallowed by her black pupils once more. Pondpaw knew what was happening, and didn't like it. As the images blurred, Pondpaw was ready. Her mind struggled to focus on something, anything, until it ended. As her mind calmed, and the images slowed, the image of Smokepaw came to her. "Smokepaw...." Pondpaw whispered to herself, as she noticed that the tom was looking very down. Before Pondpaw could think, the image kind of ran backward from the tom's area, and in a blink, Pondpaw was back with her mentor.

The slim she-cat was pleased with herself, for being able to control her gift, but her happiness was short, as she noticed that Smokepaw couldn't be far, and that she HAD to get there. "Brightstream, I smell something!" Pondpaw called behind her, for the apprentice was already tearing threw the undergrowth. Hopefully the way she had planned her words, Brightstream may think she was smelling a enemy, and follow. Pondpaw hoped she would follow. She didn't want to leave her mentor behind, as she ran off to cheer up her friend.

As her fast paw steps pounded threw the wet marsh, muddy water sprayed into the she-cat's silver-blue fur. Pondpaw was desperate to follow the same path her vision had, so she would not get lost. That must be easy, when you are running blindly threw the forest. As the faint scent of Smokepaw finally came to her glands, it surprised Pondpaw how far she must have run. As a few more ferns parted, the dark gray, almost black, fur of Smokepaw came into view. "Smokepaw!" Pondpaw was so grateful, that she was almost to tears. When the apprentice was hardly a good length away, she bundled up her hind legs, and sprung forward happily, aiming to either land near, or kind of flying tackle Smokepaw.

OOC: Okay, maybe Brightstream can think what Pondpaw did was cool, and somehow, Pondpaw lets it ‘slip’ that Smokepaw and Acornpaw have great abilities too.....what do you think? If not, I’m brain dead again..... >_<"

OOC: meh i'll just randomly rp. im dying here in school because we're supposed to write an essay but im totall distracted. XP i have 600 words in my essay but we need 1000... X.x"


IC: Brightstream frowned when Pondpaw dashed off, saying that she smelled something. that can't be good. she thought to herself. one, the warrior didn't like having her apprentice run off. two, she was afraid that Pondpaw would run into a tribe cat. how would she explain that then? she hissed to herself, and quickly followed after the silver-blue apprentice. she was glad that she didn't pick up any tribe scent, though they were heading towards the tribe lands.

she followed pondpaw far, through bushes, tall grasses, and finally into a wet clearing. she heard Pondpaw call out a name. smokepaw? Brightstream has only heard this name today, from both HOneydew and her own apprentice. guess this Smokepaw wasn't one of those popular apprentices in the clan. then she wondered something... how did Pondpaw know where this other apprentice was from so far away? they'd been running for quite a while, and Smokepaw's scent wasn't even visible until a few taillengths ago...


"Wha-?!" Smokepaw didn't even have time to turn to see who called his name when he was pounced on, landing with an "oof". He was about to think there was an enemy, but an enemy wouldn't call out, or feel so light. "Pondpaw..." he knew it was her, and frantically, he was getting used to having her little stunts tested on him. he mumbled and tried to roll her off of him. however, for a second, all his concerns were pushed away the moment he knew it was her. all the doubts about going to the tribe was replaced with something else. he was actually feeling glad that he'll be able to go, protecting her.


Brightstream stood there watching when she finally came to a stop, raising her eyebrow when the two apprentices collided. she waited impatiently for the two to get their acts together.

[lakeripple]

Lakeripple peered through a bush at Brightstream. She wasn't sure that she completely trusted her Clan member, but that didn't matter. She looked at the two apprentices, and sighed. Had she ever been like that? She couldn't remember. All she new is that she would have to wait until they had left until she could have some peace. Just some time to stare up at the Sky and mourn for all that was lost to her so many moons ago.

Lakeripple bowed her head and sighed. She knew it was no use grudging against her father when her mother had been as much in the wrong. It was equally their faults that she was stuck as half-Clan and because of that mistrusted and friendless. No one seemed to care for her, even though the Clan had completely accepted Brooksplash and her half-Clan cat, half-kittypet legacy. All she could do for friends was hope that Eagletalon would continue to love her...

[Honeydew]
