ShadowClan Life Before Destruction

The tom blinked and looked to the white shecat as she asked him to demonstrate his name. "Snarlfang. I am Snarlfang." He said slowly before he started the demonstration. He snarled loudly then flicked his tail to his fangs. He repeated the action once again, just to make sure his apprentice understood.

Ivorypaw purred, seeing her name on his maw. The she-cat flicked her tail and straitened up. Her gaze fixed intently on his lips as he spoke his name. She flinched and drew back a moment as he snarled, then realized that he was actually demonstrating his name, and wasn't angry with her. Growl? Hiss? No, that looked more like a snarl. So snarl... Her bi-colored eyes watched his next moment eagerly. He was gesturing to his teeth. Snarlteeth? Hmm, that sounded weird, even in her head. "Snarltooth? Snarlfang? Snarl...teeth?" Ivorypaw asked herself in a soft voice, wondering which one was it. Or if she was even on the right track.

Snarlfang cursed silently in his head when he saw his apprentice flinch back away from him. Mouse-dung! I should have warned her first. Or something. His upset expression faded immediately as she looked at him eagerly, softly whispering her guesses. He wanted to nod as she said Snarlfang, but figured it might be hard for Ivorypaw to pick out which one he was nodding to. Snarlfang closed his eyes a moment before flicking them back open. The tom had an idea.

"Wait right here." He said for a moment, wondering if she could hear him or not. He sniffed the air, he needed to find a snake. The only way he knew to get Ivorypaw to not guess tooth or teeth would be a snake. Lucky for the tom, a small rat snake was in the grass nearby. The ginger cat pounced on it and killed it swiftly. He picked it up and brought it back towards Ivorypaw. He pried open its jaws carefully, revealing the snake's fangs. He snarled again before flicking his tail to one of the snake fangs. "Snarl-fang." He said slowly. He would still be happy if she got his name mostly right even. Snarlfang was just happy he was finding a way to communicate with his apprentice, and teach them.

What is becoming of Shadowclan! she turned her nose upright and walked in with moss rather discusted as she threw moss on the den” I’m changing your moss and dealing with your ticks and fleas.” she grumbled discust filled her voice.

Acornfall is practically an apprentice. Why is he in the elder’s den. I hate them. Why don’t they just suffer on their own in camp. We can’t prevent them from death...She stalked over to him. Rather unhappily

Rainshadow looked up at the apprentice incredulously. Why was she so beat up over changing moss. "Well, I don't have any ticks or fleas, and if I did, I wouldn't need you to groom me. I'm still alive, after all. And as for moss, that's very kind of you."

Rolling out of his nest, the elder remained on his belly as he intently focused on the nest, scouring every inch to make sure there were no stale pieces of moss. "Hmm, no, I think you got them all! Thank you." He meowed curtly, rising slowly to his paws. He wobbled slightly as he rose, but caught his balance almost instantly. Giving his chest a few swift licks, Acornfall directed his attention to Dawnpaw and tilted his head towards the entrance of the den. "Could you grab a piece of prey for me? We can share it in here."

He paused,” We need to leave it in the log.” He dropped it in the log and glanced at her.

Dawnpaw glanced at Rainshadow,” Will do.” She meowed rather unhappily. She paused,” So I can get all the stale moss, would you mind standing up. For me?” She asked politely, I hate making the elder’s stand up. It’s unfair.

Dawnpaw glanced at Acornfall,” I can do that. What kind of prey do you prefer. Mouse, vole, squirrel, frog, rabbit, bird?” She asked as after all her mother taught her that if your going to do a job it’s best done right.

Ivorypaw copied him, dropping her load I tom the log. "That was fun!" She declared, eyes bright. The the Molly dipped her head. "Thanks for letting me help you, Elmleaf."

Elmleaf smiled,” No, thank you.” He purred, after all apprentice duties weren’t his responsiblity anymore. (Does she like him? IDK if she does. I think Elmleaf does just a little)

"See ya later!" She purred back, smiling. ((You'll just have to find out...lol, just kidding. She likes him as a friend right now.)

Meadowpaw woke up in her nest in the apprentice's den. The young molly stood up, stretching her back legs. I wonder what's going to happen today? Maybe I'll be able to go out of camp. I hope so. I'm so sick of staying in camp. The apprentice sat in her nest, wrapping her bushy tail on top of her paws.
