He felt as if she felt he was better than most other kits, and he also felt he need to explain it. "When I lost my birth parents, before I joined ShadowClan, I had to hunt for myself. I caught some of the most delicious creatures. I usually ate mice, but whenever i killed a lizard or a snake, I devoured those. I love the taste of lizards, and adore the taste of snakes." he explained.

Then, he sat down. "I think I may make a good warrior!" he said, "I'll just need to figure out how to get around one eye..."

Maplepaw sniffed.
If he had been a Loner, it was a good thing he was only a tiny kit who hadn’t gotten through much. She couldn’t imagine what kind of mother would put him through such a thing, teaching him to hunt snakes! She had been told horrifying tales of snakes biting cats and them becoming paralyzed for the rest of their lives.
One tale of a small apprentice, Rookpaw, popped into her head. He had been the runt of his litter, a kind and energetic little bundle, who had been so happy and delighted at his apprenticeship. One day though, his mentor told him that they couldn’t go battle training, and Rookpaw got so bothered when his siblings came back and bragged about their session that he had snuck out.
He had played by some stones, studying the paw strikes his brother, Cliffpaw, had shown him that day, and suddenly Rookpaw was bitten by an adder, his body found the next day.
Maplepaw shivered. She knew that it had only been a tale to convince her not to sneak out, but just the thought of it gave her chills.
“I bet you will.” She purred confidently.
Suddenly, Rookpaw and a new idea sprung into her consciousness.
”Hey Tigerkit... how about we sneak out of camp?”
