Cherrykit lowered her whole body, looked at Cherrypaw happily and whispered,"like this?"

"Much better," Cherrypaw meowed, "be sure to keep your belly off the ground too. Like this," she said, getting into her own hunting crouch and gliding along the floor of the nursery.

Cherrykit stuck her tongue out of the side of her mouth in consentration,"how about this?" She whispered.

"Very good!" Cherrypaw meowed. She opened her mouth and stretched her jaws in a wide yawn. "Well the mighty Cherrystar might not need a nap, but her deputy needs a rest after hunting."

Cherrykit looked at her and smiled,"Ok! Bye Cherrypaw!"

As she fumed over her throbbing jaw, she forgot about how she’d hit him in the first place. But, she was quickly reminded again as he spoke. “It’s not my fault you were way too close for comfort!” Everpaw exclaimed, unsheathing her claws. It was a quirk of hers, unsheathing her claws when she was annoyed or angry. She never actually intended to tear a cat to pieces, but sometimes she might give someone a scratch or two if they were really bugging her too much. At this point, she wasn’t ready to shred the tom into pieces. However, she was ready to run to apprentice’s den and move her nest into the territory. After that experience, she wasn’t sure she even wanted to sleep in the camp anymore. “Well thank StarClan for that,” She muttered to herself, ears flattening against her head at the mere mention of the word ‘love’. “How nice of you to point out the obvious,” Everpaw continued sarcastically, rolling her eyes in annoyance. Any other cat would probably have been offended by that statement, but not Everpaw. The calico didn’t protest against it because she knew it was true. She didn’t have many friends and that was because she wasn’t very friendly. But really she didn’t care. The apprentice didn’t have much time for friends and she didn’t find any joy in making new friends. She preferred to just continue talking to those she already knew.



A ginger tabby stepped out of the warrior’s den and paused at the entrance. Her pelt was neatly groomed as she had just woken up and cleaned her pelt. Now that she was a bit more awake, she was ready to find someone to talk to. Her amber gaze scanned the camp for anyone who might look like they wanted a bit of company. Most cats in the camp were either busy or had already found someone to talk to, and Honeyvenom let out a sigh of annoyance. She was about to head out of the camp and go hunting when her gaze suddenly stopped on a she-cat who looked rather bored. Feeling curious, the ginger warrior padded over to her.
“Hello,” She greeted quietly. Honeyvenom took a spot next to the cat and curled her tail neatly around her paws. Judging by the way the cat looked, she would be welcome to sit down here and talk for a bit. But if she wasn’t, she would leave without an objection and be useful.



As she ate, the calico watched the blood trickle from the mouse to the grass below. It was quite gross honestly, yet she ate this everyday without a complaint. At least the flesh tasted better than the blood looked. A familiar voice suddenly broke through her thoughts and she gulped down her bite before lifting her head up. For a moment, she stared at the newcomer, as if processing his words. “Average isn’t good enough,” Everpaw finally replied after a few moments of silence. She looked back down at her mouse and parted her jaws to take another bite when his words stopped her. “You are disgusting sometimes,” She snorted, wrinkling her nose in disgust. Although her words were flat and blunt, the apprentice couldn’t stop the amusement from dancing in her yellow hues. “The only cat I would try to impress is my mentor. Plus anyway, no tom could ever possibly match your looks,” Everpaw purred, moving her face closer to him and batting her eyelashes in a flirty manner. “No one could ever look as ugly as you,” She continued before she returned to munching on her mouse. The calico would’ve been surprised if the tom were to ask if she were flirting with him. Everpaw didn’t flirt. She hated anything to do with love and that included flirting. That was probably the first time she’d ever acknowledged the art of flirting, even if it was fake. Any good friends of hers would know immediately that she was acting.

A false look of horror and distraught appeared on Hemlockpaw's face as mocked the look of shock. "Ugly? Me? Nonono, you are mistaken, miss. Either that, or your eyes are deceiving you." He joked, but unlike most toms, he got that she wasn't really flirting. Joking, most likely. Or at least trying to. Her expressions and vocals didn't match the look in her eyes, hinting clearly that she was not in fact flirting. But neither was Hemlock. Not quite, at least. The tom was never good at flirting and was increasingly awkward when it came to any sort of love interest, so he put the idea of a crush aside and simply joked rather than flirted. He wasn't usually one to walk up and talk to a cat, but he knew Everpaw slightly from training and felt more comfortable. Hemlock looked down at the mouse she was eating. "Hm, a bloody one, huh? Some are worse than others, but you've a pretty bloody one." He said grimly. "Makes me want to eat plants like a rabbit." Hemlockpaw said, looking serious before breaking out into a grin. "I take that back, the idea is too appalling and I like bird too much."

The brown tom shrugged. "Ok, I guess. I just wish my mentor would do a better job. All I've learned so far is the stupid Leap-and-Hold and the Front Paw Strike. That's it." He sighed. "Sometimes I feel like the only reason that is is because no one honestly likes me."

"NOW HES GOING BBBAAAAACCCKKKKK TO SLEEEP?????!!!!!!!" Foxkit whined as loud as he could repeatedly.

Chameleonpaw grew a little erritated by Foxkit," You try staying awake for a moon and tell me how long it is before you sleep a whole day and night." She smirked

Rosefern felt sympathy for the young tom," That's unfair." Her eyes lit up at the thought," If you want, I could take you out for real hunting or maybe simple battle training and teach you more self defense since it's clear your mentor isn't teaching you much." She meowed

Foxkit glared at her,"Fine!" He mewed and bounced away.

Cherrykit walked calmly out of the nursery.

Bingo fell asleep, purring at Peachrain's paws.
