Shadowpaw's stubborn stay

[Deleted]

Shadowpaw reached the camp, limping worse then before, all the strength his body had built up had melted away, he was growling and wasn't pleased that he would have to stay in the camp. He sighed before his sister ran over to him, "What are you doing?! You need to be resting, not forcing yourself to walk!" Twitchpaw mewed, unsteady on her own paws. Sh e was exhausted but once she woke up, she refused to go to sleep till she knew her brother in camp and save. "Your not looking much better," Shadowpaw growled, stopping, trying to balance himself, Twitchpaw's ears drooping before she nosed her brother, flinching when he growled at her. "I... I don't understand why you don't trust me anymore.... we... we where so close at one point.... why do you seem to hate me now?" Twitchpaw stepped back from her brother slightly, looking at her as tears began to show on the corners of her eyes, "I don't get it....." She looked at her paws before heading back to her nest, not looking back at Shadowpaw, not knowing what else she could do to help when her brother refused to let her. He watched her, not caring, he didn't want to trust her, he was..... afraid.... something that he didn't want to admit to himself as it meant that he head something that could be used against him if someone really wanted to hurt him... like before....

Suddenly, RiddleKit dashed out of the nursery. Why? He smelt blood. Well, not really. He just called pure rage and hatred blood as well. They both are caused by wounds and pain, so why not?

He made an abrupt stop, only to see TwitchPaw starting to cry, and ShadowPaw just standing there, not caring.

He marched up at ShadowPaw, stood right in front of him, and glared.

"What do you think you are doing?! She's your sister! You aren't supposed to make them cry, you are supposed to make them go away!" he hissed, his fur puffing up, "Y-You're a monster!"

He growled, RiddleKit dashing into the Medicine Cat's den to TwitchPaw. He cuddled up close to her, and purred, trying to comfort her, "Don't worry, I will make you feel better," he whispered softly, purring still, "I promise."

Skypaw padded up cheerfully behind Shadowpaw, having gone back to collect the prey the other apprentice had caught. He placed it down, staying quiet as he watched the exchange between brother and sister. He had to get Shadowpaw to cheer up somehow... "Would you like me to get you anything Shadowpaw? Rainwing said you were supposed to go straight to his den."

[Deleted]

Shadowpaw watched Riddlekit run away, his ears pressing against his head before looking at Skypaw, "Leave me alone." He mewed before heading to the den, feeling tired, not bothering to worry about the kit that knew what he did was wrong. Shadowpaw knew himself, he was wasn't allowing it to bother him, not with other cats around anyway. She needs to move on, why trust me when I always push her away, I figured she would get the hint by now, I don't want to be with anyone. He sighed, curling up in an area in the medicine den, not seeing the nest that Riddlekit had made for him, to tired to care and sore to move.

Twitchpaw watched her brother enter, her ears drooping more when he didn't look ather or act like she was even there, she sniffed slightly before curling around the small kit, knowing that there wasn't much he could do to make her feel better but she was glad to see he saw things the way she did... almost. "D-don't be to mean to him.... I.... I don't want him runnng out of camp before he's heal," Twitchpaw muttered in Riddlekit's ear, trying to keep her brother from hearing her, knowing he wouldn't be happy with that statement. "You can yell at hm when he's all better." She nosed the kit before laying her head down, needing sleep, unable to fight it off anymore, her body having been pushed beyond it's limit, her only worry now was that she didn't get sick from it. (I think she should XDDD)

Skypaw watched him go, then glanced to Twitchpaw. He just needed to show him that they just wanted to best for him. He padded into the den, placing some fresh-kill down for him and without another word, went to get him some moss with water on it.

"So...what did you do exactly? This is a pretty serious injury after all." Rainwing's voice spoke up as he appeared with some herbs in his mouth, padding up to Shadowpaw. He started sorting through them, waiting for an answer.

"I fell out of the old oak tree, Skypaw distracted me so I wasn't watching the bird I hunting. It attacked me and I lost my footing after killing the bird and fell from... about half way up. I hit my hind end half way down. It allowed me to grab onto a branch just long enough to slow me down.... and make me land on Skypaw," Shadowpaw sighed, yawning, feeling sleepier as time passed. d**n..... it hurts and thats making me to sleepy... I won't be able to sneak away like this.....

[Deleted]

"Oh...so this is Skypaw's fault?" Rainwing asked casually, glancing uo to the apprentice after he heard his story. He may not have been much in years as a medicine cat, but he still knew how to teach a lesson. Especially to a cat that seemed as stubborn as he used to be.

[Deleted]

"Yes, he told me no to try catching the bird in the tree so I looked at him and the bird attacked me," Shadowpaw growled, staring at his sister, "Why did you choose her to be your apprentice? She doesn't seem like the kind of cat that would make a good medicine cat." He sighed before shifting in his nest, trying to find a position that didn't make his body throb with pain. I need more moss.... lots more.....

[[Sorry for late reply. Been in a lot of depressive moods... I hate me for having MPD, making mistakes, and Bi-Polar disorder...]]

The little brown kit that resembled RiddleHawk completely mewed softly. He felt better being with TwitchPaw; she was so nice. Although, he couldn't help but have his ears perked up at voices. It was RainWing and ShadowPaw. They must be speaking about what happened.

So, casually, he sneaked up slowly. He heard wat ShadowPaw said, being SkyPaw's fault, which kind of was, but he was trying to be nice. All of them were. Then he heard how Twitchpaw wouldn't be a good medicine cat apprentice. That made the tom hiss in fury, his little fur prickling up with anger.

"ShadowPaw! She would be a better one than you! At least she's nice to others, instead of a mean monster!" he growled, his little black claws slinking out of their paws. He was angry. A cat should not say that, especially to their kin. That isn't right. That isn't nice.

His little eyes were narrowed into slits, his tail lashing back and forth, "And it wasn't all of Skypaw's fault! He was trying to help and be nice! All he ever does is try to be your friend, but you push him away, and me! Why do you do that?" he questioned, with his fur still up and claws unsheathed. He was angry. He wanted to slash this tom's face in half.

Shadowpaw looked at the kit before yawning, not caring that he was mad at him, "I don't want friends, I just want to be left alone. I have no reason to want them, trusting others hasn't gotten me to far in life, almost got me killed so I'd rather cut my losses." Shadowpaw watched the kit, feeling the need to laugh just to piss the little furball off more, "If you want to attack me, be my guest, I'm already hurt so what's it matter if I get a few more baby cuts?" He really didn't care at this point, he was in pain and figured, let the furball get even, would make easier for him in the end.

(maybe rainwing should know what even shadowpaw is talking about, if u read his bio then you should know what his brother did)

"I chose her...well, Starclan chose her. I think she's a great apprentice. Much better than I was. I used to be just as grouchy as you were." Rainwing replied easily, ears twitching as he listened to Shadowpaw's and Riddlekit's chatter. "I wouldn't blame this on Skypaw...seems like he was just trying to make sure you didn't get hurt. Sounds like a good friend to me." He murmured to Shadowpaw as he put some more herbs on his wound gingerly. "You know...not everyone is out to get you Shadowpaw. Everyone needs someone they can trust in this life."

[Deleted]

"I don't see a point in it," Shadowpaw growled, his wound stinging from the fresh treatment, "Why should I trust someone, there isn't a point." He was really getting annoyed, everyone was trying to press him into something that he didn't want. He couldn't understand how trusting someone was helpful since the one cat that he trusted more then anything tried to kill him. He couldn't trust anyone since he alway felt that the cats in his clan where watching and waiting for him to fail to become a warrior, knowing that his size would almost certainly prevent him from becoming as powerful as the others. He knew it and that's what made it so hard to trust others, no matter how nice they where.

[Deleted]

"You know...you and I aren't that different." Rainwing replied, going to sort through his herbs as he waited for the new treatment to take full affect first. "Would you like to hear a story...about how this happened? I won't bore you, but it seems you could learn something from it." He said, glancing down to his own injured leg as to show it as the feature of the story. He wasn't an elder who would just blab to any apprentice. Only ones he felt...needed to be spoke to.

[Deleted]

RiddleKit stared at ShadowPaw, and hissed.

"Friends are important! Most can help! Like me and SkyPaw!" he yipped up, but it was probably not heard that much.

He suddenly stopped everything when RainWing offered to tell a story. Oh boy! He sat down in front of RainWing and purred. He loved stories.

"Your definitely a kit," Shadowpaw mumbled as he tried to fall asleep, needing it but wondering why he couldn't. All I want is to sleep and yet I can't, d**n that sucks. Shadowpaw wasn't interested in listening to a story, it bored him and added to his growing stock of annoyance. If he had the ability to move, he would claw out someone's fur to stop them from annoying him. He sighed, shifting slightly, hoping that if he could get comfortable, he could sleep.
