Dark Forest Territory

[Weekend-Wondering]

(Remember, when cats wake up, unlike the normal warriors series, they no longer bare their dark forest wounds)
Willow song bend down, and whispered in the apprentice’s ear, “Now now, swear to keep your secrets.” With one last dig, she released the apprentice, and padded to stand beside Fernwhisker. @Cardboard box @SpiritedWarrior

//Oh yeah, that’s right lol

“She promised, I don’t think she’ll think of doing it again,” she purred with satisfaction. “Is there any input on the ‘bite and shake’? Any improvements?”

Willow song didn’t blink. “A swear is far more useful than a simple promise. I know many cats who have broken promises. My mate, Day’s Moon being one of them.” She said. A growl rose in her throat as she thought of the Tom she had tried to kill. The Tom who had married another she cat, another rouge, and who had left her kits, other than Dustclaw, Dustkit at the time, to die in the snow. Of course, she had ended up saving them both, raising them her way. Both cats were alive. One was exiled form ThunderClan, one was still a rouge. She had trained both of them. None of her kits knew they were siblings.

Snapping back into focus, she watched Mothpaw. @Cardboard box @SpiritedWarrior

“That is true, a swear is much more useful,” she replied. It wasn’t worth anything to fight or argue with a cat who had personal experience with traitors, so she simply asked a question. “Did you see anything that needed to be improved upon with the ‘bite and shake’?”

Willow song squinted. “You have a strong apprentice. You are a lucky mentor.” she told Fernwhisker. “She should move on from the bite and shake. She preformed very well.” Willow song nodded at Mothpaw approvingly. “I should be off” She told Fernwhisker, and with a wave of her tail, she turned around. “Ever need any help, normally, I’m open.” @Cardboard box @SpiritedWarrior

"Thank you, Willowsong," she smiled then turned to Mothpaw. "If Willowsong believes you're ready to move on, then it must be so. But first, you must be tested. We will fight and you must use the 'bite and shake'. Use all the force in that tiny body of yours, and you'll do just fine."

Fernwhisker leaped at Mothpaw with her paws outstretched. She was aiming to knock Mothpaw off her feet and unbalance her, but she hoped Mothpaw would be prepared.

“Thank you, Willowsong. I’m positive our secret will be safe.” She then sat back, waiting for Mothpaw to react.

Mothpaw narrowed her eyes. “Can I go now?” she sighed.

//poor Mothpaw!

Fernwhisker watched Mothpaw for a moment. I’ll give her a surprise attack the next time she visits and test her on the ‘bite and shake’ then… Sitting down, the she-cat continued to look at the apprentice and nodded.

“Very well. But when you come next time, I won’t be waking you. You’ll have to wake yourself. Got it?” now that the punishment was over and Mothpaw could be trusted once more, Fernwhisker was able to trust her apprentice to show up to her own training session.

“And remember… keep your vow!” She purred as she walked off.

//Indeed! Mothpaw will have a bit of time to herself though, I have to think of more moves for Fernwhisker to teach her lol

Fernwhisker prodded Mothpaw in her flank with a claw, she growled, "Wake up, you have a test today."

Fernwhisker stepped back and began to lick her paws to smooth out the stray tufts between her toes. The sooner we get this test over with, the sooner we can move on to this next move...

Mothpaw jumped up. Really? Now? “What do I do?” she mewed, fear in the edge of her voice.
