Ashpaw got up and padded over to where Jaggedpelt was. Alright, WaveSong. I've no problem doing so. She flashed him a smile and watched the foreign cats leave.She was rather somber; calm and showing no emotion. How strange this little kit was!

[Deleted]

SpottedPaw came back, but just turned around. She felt rather embarrassed, "Don't see why I should be here." She just ran off, and fled, feeling annoyed. If she was there, she might attack while they left, she might of done worse.

Wavesong groaned, watching the apprentice take off. "Mosspelt, Ashpaw, convince him to come back. Do not force him, we don't want that." He knew Mosspelt and Patchedfoot were probably the most capable of seeing both sides, but he wanted Patchedfoot here.

Mosspelt nodded before glancing at Ashpaw and taking after Spottedpaw. "Spottedpaw! Come back!"

[Deleted]

SpottedPaw stopped, and looked over her shoulder. She gave a hiss, being a bit angered. "What, what do you need me for?" Her tail lashed back and forth, her eyes pierce.

[Deleted]

"Spottedpaw, you see why Wavesong told you to get Whitetiger. He knew how unstable the Lurkclan cats were, and he didn't want you to get hurt. He cares about you and everyone, and he was trying to protect you. Plus, if a fight were to break out. You'd be the one closest to protecting Whitetiger, whom they wanted to speak too." Mosspelt replied calmly, her ears flicking back and forth in a calm manner.

[Deleted]

Ashpaw bounded after her, surprisingly as fast the one she followed. It's true. He just wanted to protect you and have you protect Whitetiger. That's why I told you to be patient. Let them attack first.

SpottedPaw's fur rose, her tail lashing back and forth. "Why trust me? I mean, how do you know I'm even strong enough to do so? I'm only almost eight moons old, with barely any training!" She stated harshly, looking at AshPaw, "She's stronger and wiser than me, and she's younger!" She suddenly spat.

[Deleted]

Ashpaw's ears pinned against her head. She took a couple of steps back and bolted off. She was all too familiar with being thought badly of because of the way she was.

[Deleted]

Mosspelt sighed before lifting up her head and letting out a yowl. "Jaggedpelt! Go get Ashpaw!" Turning back she studied the other apprentice with warm eyes. "Listen to me Spottedpaw. You may or may not be the best apprentice, but that doesn't mean anything. Wavesong trusts you just as much as he does any other warrior. The fact that you're not up to Ashpaw's level says two things. One, that, if you want to get that good, you'll just have to work harder, and you will make it. And two, Ashpaw's had to live on her own longer than most cats, and at the age of a kit. Living alone teaches you what truly is hard about this life. You have to keep in mind. Ashpaw's had a hard life so far. Most kits get to play in the nursery, while she was out fending for herself. Do you understand what I'm saying Spottedpaw?" Mosspelt tilted her head, watching for the young apprentice's reaction.

[Deleted]

SpottedPaw hissed, she was getting agrivated. "So I don't work hard enough? So I haven't put up with something like her? Being cursed with these scars, being made fun of by others. Do you think that's really fair?" She growled, her tail lashing side to side. She was getting annoyed, and angered.

[Deleted]

Ashpaw went and curled up in a hollow on a gnarled tree trunk. She sighed and rested her head on her paws. She hated being thought of like that. She hated having to be a misfit wherever she went. Not ever being able to fit in. I may as well just leave. I'm only causing trouble here. Just like every other place I've tried fitting into. Nobody can seem to put up with me. she whispered to herself. She felt it was the truth. That no one could ever get over the fact that she was diffrent. Sure, everyone had their disabilities. Not being able to run, having scars that got you stared at, not being able to see. But her disability? Being stuck as the freak. Her tail was curled up around her body and she tucked her head in, to where she looked like a little ball of dark grey fluff. She didn't want to move, to speak, to hardly even think. She just wanted to lay there with a blank mind and an empty heart.

[Deleted]

Mosspelt stiffened, they had never made fun of the cats. They always enjoyed having anyone with them, they didn't care what they looked like. "Nobody knows how hard you work except yourself. All I was saying was, that practice makes perfect." She turned around, starting to walk back to camp. Maybe Spottedpaw didn't want to come. Then she'd go talk to Ashpaw. "And nobody makes fun of you here. We'd never do such a thing." She paused before looking over he shoulder. "If you want to come back to camp. We'll welcome you just like if you had left to go hunt. And all this will be forgotten. We want you to come back with all our hearts. But there's nothing stopping you from leaving if you wish."

[Deleted]

SpottedPaw started to pace back and forth, getting annoyed as usual now. "I practice all the time, with the kits, everyone, at least I try." She stopped, and looked at MossPelt, "Have you been practicing lately?" She mocked, her shoulder-fur starting to stick up.

[Deleted]

Mosspelt turned around her eyes glittering, she was trying to hide how much the comment affected her but she was still mad. "Yes I have, I'm not the best at fighting, nor' will I ever be. But I practice on my own, and with Moonsight." Turning around she padded away. She really was upset for some reason.

[Deleted]

SpottedPaw's eyes flittered with anger, and frustration. She didn't hold back on how she felt about this whole thing, mad. "Well, I never said you were! And if I were you, with the threat of LurkClan, I'd be training even harder!" She hissed, watching her pad away.
