training the young ones.

[CROOKY]

Cheetahtails mouth opened wide. "When have I EVER treated you like a useless scrap of fur? I've taught you techniques the other cats havent even learned yet. Ive been trying to make you the best warrior of the forest.How is that treating you useless? As for the Warrior code I did not betray the code all cats who disobey their leaders are the traitors to the code not me."

The tom prowled up, and rose eye-to-eye with the she-cat.

"Okay sure, maybe not treated me like useless piece of scrap, but You did betray it! She was still a warrior in our clan, and sure, disobeying, but did you not see her reasoning? Come on, Think about it. Sure, I want to go in the battle too, but you.. you.. attacked the warrior, so I don't want to serve under you!"

He muttered, his eyes starting to water. Do they not understand? He wanted to live up to the code, not break it..

Cheetahtail leveled her gaze to the apprentice. " under normal circumstances that would be true Darkpaw but did you hear Crookedstar? She said those who would not fight for Riverclan Honor were no longer Riverclanners. Shadowshine is no better than a common traitorous loner. Crookedstar has decreed it so. Sure she's older than she used to be but she is still leader we must obey her or we are ALL traitors to the code."

He let out a hiss.

"She is still a warrior whether CrookedStar says yes or no! You probably just don't care!"

His tail swished.

"She isn't a traitorous loner, she is a loyal RiverClanner!"

Fireleaf stepped in, "Thats enough Darkpaw!" she growled. "No more arguing! We must start training before the sun goes down!"

[Deleted]

He growled at his mother.

"Back off, this is none of your buisness!"

He hissed.

Fireleaf's tail flickered, "Oh, my son. But it is!" she growled. "If you would rather spend the next moon confined to the elders den then you will do as I say!"

[Deleted]

He let out a hiss.

"It isn't your buisness, right now it involves me and my mentor!"

He growled.

"Now back off!"

"You are my son!" she said firmly. "You are my flesh and blood. I am you and you are me. Your business is my business and my business is yours."

[Deleted]

He narrowed his eyes.

"What if i butted in on your conversation? How would you feel? You would tell me to get away, like usual! Now leave us at peace so we can talk!"

He growled.

Fireleaf shook her head, "If it concerned my well being I would tell you. Darkpaw, is there anything you need to talk about, tell me? At all?"

[Deleted]

His eyes narrowed.

"Ma, I'll talk to you later. Right now, I need to talk with my mentor. Do you not understand that? Or are you to absent-minded?"

Fireleaf flicked her tail. She padded over to Spottedpaw and Littlepaw, she licked away the tears coming from Spottedpaw's eyes.
