LEAFPAW

An unusually fluffy apprentice hared down the moorland on fast, snow-white paws. Blue eyes blinked every so often. The cat’s tail trailed behind her alongside the wind. Brown-and-white fur flailed back in the she-cat’s face every chance it got.

The young WindClanner stopped as she neared the training hollow, eyes widening with curiosity. This was the first time she had been allowed out of camp. She had been Leafkit just yesterday. Now, she was Leafpaw, and she was being trained by WindClan’s best cat - Twilightstar.

Twilightstar. The name of the WindClan Leader - who was also her mentor - rung in Leafpaw’s mind. The apprentice began to pace back and forth as she waited on the half-blind leader. Leafpaw remembered the story her mother had told her.

Dawnstar had held Twilightstar hostage and tore the sight of one of her eyes away. If I had been in her position, I would have ripped Dawnstar to shreds.

Now, when Leafpaw came to think of it, she wouldn’t have blamed her mother for her thoughts. It must’ve been terrible, being held captive and then watching as your captor ripped your sight away from you. At least from one eye.

Rustling sounds reached the WindClanner’s ears, and Leafpaw’s head shot up. Blue eyes fixed on the shaking bushes, her ears flattening and her claws digging into the ground on instinct. Was this Twilightstar, or was this a fox that was looking to rip out her throat?
