Nightpaw stifled a shudder. She had been at the gathering alright. She had cowered like a scared kit, while Risingstorm and Snowpaw protected her. She hadn't been able to do a thing. The image of blood droplets spattering the ground in front of her flashed in her mind, and just like that, her mind was back on the dog attack.
Never again. I'll never be that helpless again. Nightpaw nodded, hearing Daypaw's every word for what it was: a difficult truth, but truth nonetheless. If she wanted to survive and protect Shadowclan and all the cats there she cared about, she'd have to learn this. The shecat walked backwards, looking at the ground.
No claws, no teeth, and they'll be fine. She raised her eyes and looked at the cat that she admired most. The cat who had been there for her during her most desperate time. Nightpaw never knew her brothers or sisters, but Daypaw was the closest thing to family that she had ever had. Nightpaw didn't want to fight if she didn't have to, but she would if it meant making sure Daypaw and their home and friends were safe. Exhaling slowly, the apprentice raced forward toward the medicine cat, and yowl escaping her as she threw her forepaws forward, trying to knock Daypaw over.
