doepaw
cw: mentions of vomiting
| Small, scarred fawn tabby she-cat with blue-green heterochromia and a shredded ear |
Doepaw's head spun as her siblings spoke to her. Mama... missing? She felt her stomach drop and felt as if she was going to throw up. She could feel bile and panic rise in her throat. Her ears dropped and she stared into the distance, memories playing of her getting angry with her mother over her father, getting upset at her mother over trivial things. "Find.." She could just barely murmur the word before feeling dizzy. "You... couldn't help. Too big.. Fierce. Violent." She muttered quietly. She felt as if her world was imploding around her, and could feel tears welling in her eyes. She took a deep breathe, trying not to bawl. She failed. She started sobbing into her siblings shoulders. Her entire body shook with her cries, but she managed not to be too loud, as to not bother the rest of her Clan. She was so, so tired. She wanted nothing more than to be a kit again, curled up at her mothers belly; safe and comfortable.

Vulturekit sprinted into the den. Fungustoe! The name had a small yet distinct ring to it. Did that mean they had Toe of Fungus? Mushroom toes! Hahaha! “FUNGUSTOE! The kit chirped loudly,Hehe Would Fungustoe even be able to hear them? They would have to find out now wouldn’t they! Vulturekit picked a spot next to the very old cat. The black and white cats grey eyes slowly adjusted to the darker den. The sun outside now seeming far too bright to return outside.
━━━✥◈✥━━━
Mushroomtoe looked around, their eyesight was going bad. The ancient cat swung their head back 'n forth, trying to make out the fuzzy shapes in the den. "HUH? WHUZZAT? WHO'S DERE?" They shouted, as their hearing was going as well. Soon enough, they caught a milk-scent.. kit! A kit came by! What a joy! "AH HELLO THERE, LITTLE SPAWN! WELCOME WELCOME!"

Ashpaw wandered around the elders’ den, looking very confused. “Um, excuse me,” she meowed,”I was told to take care of the elders but… the thing is… what the hell do I do?”

Beetleblaze didn't enjoy seeing the frustration in his apprentices face, but he understood the importance of that feeling pushing him forward to overcome his mistake. His face got slightly sterner as he accepted Cloverpaw's resolve and tried to match his intensity. He was about to answer him when Flickerpaw finally burst through the heather and into the training moor. Beetleblazes emerald eyes bounced over to the new arrival who seemed out of breath. The little toms sides were heaving slightly lending his story a bit of credibility, but it had taken a while. Did he stay and listen to the meeting before following us? He does seem pretty tired.
The warrior was about to ask him a question when Floatingleaf chimed in about the sparring. Well, it can wait. I'm sure it's nothing too serious, he wasn't that late after all. With that thought tucked away he turned back to Cloverpaw who was waiting, tense and expectant. "We can practice it more later, there will be plenty of time. Right now we should focus on partner fighting, and honing your teamwork with Flickerpaw while he is available." Beetelblaze raised his head so that one eye was also on the other apprentice. He made sure to keep his voice level and serious hinting at the importance of the words which began to fall from his lips.
"As apprentices it's particularly important to be able to rely on teamwork in a battle, there will be cats who are bigger, stronger, and more experienced than yourselves. The one thing that will set you apart in such a situation other than your bravery is how well you can coordinate attacks with your partner and use numbers to your advantage." The tall tan tom moved away from his apprentice over to his white-brown coated peer whose scent of blackberries wafted over him bringing back that same previous feeling of calm as in the clearing before.
He set himself up beside her shoulder to shoulder ready to give a demonstration of partner fighting. He turned his head towards her, and for a brief moment he felt a flicker of nerves as he looked into her deep green eyes. He became very self aware of just how close he was to Floatingleaf, but it was not at all unpleasant. "A-nything you'd like to add?" He asked with slight stutter.

Floatingleaf
She looked at Beetleblaze as he asked her a question. Smiling as she answered she said.
"No, I um think you covered it all, and you are totally right it is an amazing skill to know,.especially for us smaller cats. So I think maybe you guys try to attack us and we will defend, but don't worry this will be simple and just demonstrative not a real full on training. Alright.?" She looked at Beetleblaze for a confirmation of this idea.

Beetleblaze pondered Floatingleafs words for a moment as she looked to him for confirmation. He racked his brain at lightning speed trying to think of a way to correct her while saving face, he didn't wish to make her feel bad by calling her out in front of her apprentice. He simply nodded to her before turning to his own apprentice once he had settled on a solution. "Cloverpaw you will attack us first. Floatingleaf and I are going to show you how to utilize the technique properly. Partner fighting is about using a 2 on 1 advantage." The tom made sure he was standing shoulder to shoulder with Floatingleaf and lowered his body to match her height. "As you attack us we will retreat together as a unit, matching our pawsteps to one another."
Beetleblaze cast his emerald eyes in the direction of Flickerpaw, "Watch how we handle Cloverpaw closley. The basic idea is that when he is forced to attack one of us, the cat being attacked will simply avoid it by retreating further back. The other cat will take advantage of the opening to swipe back at Cloverpaw. So if Cloverpaw attacks me I will fall back further to avoid the blow while Floatingleaf will go on the offensive and swipe him while he is off balance." Beetleblaze felt the words trickle slowly out as he struggled to express the things he knew as a warrior but had never needed to explain. "If your enemy turns to run simply split up and surround them."
StarClan help me, I hope I explained all of that properly, He fretted. The tan warrior readied himself, his long form was backed up slightly so that his head was even with Floatingleafs, and neither cats was in front of the other. "All right Cloverpaw, attack us when your ready."
Peachfrost nodded at Twilightstar, proud to be of some use. Truthfully it would be a bit odd being back in her old position, but she was excited none the less. "You can count on me, stay safe everyone."
Flickerpaw felt a surge of panic Had they chosen Cloverpaw because he was better? she miserably watched Beetleblaze instruct Cloverpaw @prancer @Quietheart @Silvershadow13

~ Great, so much for a reunion with her siblings. Everything had gone sour and fast. Leafpaw stayed by her sister wrapping a tail around her before looking up at Milkpaw about to reply to the pleads of finding their mother.. then.. Something caught her eye. A gray pelt that was a good distance behind Milkpaw. An all too familiar gray pelt. The one that belonged to her and her siblings' father. What was he doing?! Why was he just sitting there watching? His son was clearly panicking and his daughter was crying. Leafpaw felt something she never thought shed ever feel. Anger. The urge to stand up and go over to Ashclaw and yell at him for just watching started to bubble up in her. Leafpaw stopped herself, of course, she needed to be here with her siblings and find mama. Leafpaw stared at her fa- No. Ashclaw. (A father wouldnt just sit there. He was no father of hers.) making sure he knew she saw him before turning her attention back to Milkpaw her tail still wrapped around Doepaw.
"We'll find her.. We c-can look for her when Doepaw feels better.. Mama's strong.. She'll be okay for a little longer... right?"
Leafpaw didnt want to put anymore stress onto Doepaw, Not when she needs to be healing, And they couldn't just look for mama without her. Leafpaw sat there waiting for Milkpaws response. ~
