Sharpening Your Skills

[Pluto]

From somewhere farther into the forest, Sweetpaw heard the voices of cats talking. As she neared, she heard whispered words about... a competition. Now they had Sweetpaw’s interest. What would it be like? Ooooh, I bet I’ll make some friends! She thought with a smile, and she padded closer, now a sudden drive to where her paws were taking her. She soon found herself with other cats, and seeing Berrybounce who she recognized dimly, padded up to them. “Hi! I heard there was a competition! I’m here to participate.” She chirped, brown pelt fluffed with excitement.

Berrybounce padded up to Sweetpaw. Hello, Sweetpaw! she greeted cheerfully, You're here for the competition? Great! Lets practice battle skills while we wait for the others!

"Ok!" Smokepaw meowed, her small tail flicking. "What're we gonna do?"

Battle training! Berrybounce replied. Sweetpaw, Nightpaw, and Smokepaw...Pretend i'm another apprentice. I want you all to use a light attack on me. No unsheathed claws! she added, shaking her head. You all got that? Without waiting for answers from the apprentices, Berrybounce got into a fighting stance. Alright. Attack me.

Nightpaw got down into a hunting crouch like her mentor taught her, pouncing onto Berrybounce and trying to hop onto her back so it would be harder to knock Nightpaw off.

As Nightpaw got onto her back, Berrybounce tripped, falling onto her side, but rolling over onto her back to crush the apprentice onto the ground.

Nightpaw squeaked as she was crushed beneath Berrybounce, squirming and trying to slither out from under the Warrior

Blizzardpaw heard the call of the warrior and ran over to see what was going on. As he got closer he scented even more cats. This is going to be great! He thought excitingly as he padded through the undergrowth and into the clearing.

A golden tom twitched an ear at the call for other apprentices. What was going on? A competition? Did ThunderClan usually hold competitions for apprentices out in the middle of the forest? What even counted as 'usually' anymore in his life?

Curiously, Lionpaw ran over in the direction of the voice, spotting a warrior and a couple of other apprentices. "Hi," he meowed, scanning the other cats. "So what going on exactly?"

Smokepaw nodded and got ready to jump as Nightpaw got stuck underneath the warrior. She leaped as if pouncing on a prey, aiming for Berrybounce.
