Truthfully, she didn’t allow herself to bond closely with Newtpaw because all the other apprentices she had bonded with ran away or died. She forced herself not to love. It pained her not to love her apprentice, her kits, her crush, but it was what she had to do to keep them alive. She flicked her eyes around realizing she was jogging again she sprinted the last few pawlengths.

The small apprentice dashed through the loose dirt, her paws seeming to just be a blur underneath her as she sped through the clearing into the next area without delay. Once Newtpaw had finally arrived in the area known as the Shadowclan training grounds, she bounded up and down as the youth peered up at her older mentor with a brisk smile upon her maw. “How’d I do, Raspberrybubble?” She mewed with a slight tilt of her head, “Was I fast enough? Fast like the other apprentices?” Newtpaw had a habit of comparing herself to her fellow peers in the clan considering how different she was when it came to body type and form. The munchkin was determined to make those who actually noticed her proud and happy, like her mentor and maybe even newfound friends that she would make in the coming moons. Newtpaw tried to not think about Lionpaw, but her mind often wandered to her first friend that was no longer apart of her life for reasons unknown, even to Newtpaw.
