Perfection is impossible...   Spadepaw♤✖♤✖♤✖♤✖♤✖♤✖♤✖♤✖♤✖♤✖♤✖♤✖♤✖♤✖♤✖♤✖♤✖♤✖♤
[Spadepaw nodded, padding off.]
I wont let you down! i'll be the best warrior ever and show how good of a mentor you are!
[She padded out eagerly towards the open moors, where a rabbit sat, looking around with its big black eyes- luckily the other way.]
That's right...look the other way...
[She thought, then stalked a bit, the rabbit heard her, though, and started to take off. Spadepaw instantly bolted after it, pouncing onto it and ending its life with a bite to the neck. She buried her prey so she could come back to it, looking off at a tree that stood not too far off. A furry tawny creature dashed across a branch that was a good 5 fox-lengths from the ground.]
Squirrel! It'll be risky...but it's worth it...
[Spadepaw slunk to the tree and clambered up the trunk steadily, finally reaching the branch where the squirrel was. She pounced, catching it in her teeth as it jumped, biting into its neck. She jolted, her paws slipping out from under her as her hind legs skidded off the branch. Spadepaw held her catch in her mouth, her claws digging into the bark with panic.]
Mottledpelt! Mottledpelt, help me! I'm going to fall!
"Mottledpelt's not always going to be there for you. Relax, Spadepaw! Just carefully slide off- you'll land on your feet."
[Spadepaw paused.]
Doveflight?
[She felt her paws slip and instantly re-clung in desperation.]
"Mouse-dung, Spadepaw! Just slide off! Think like a snake and slide."
[Spadepaw shut her eyes and slowly loosened her grip on the tree.]
I'm going to die here!
[Spadepaw heard a thud. She felt her legs on the soft grass and opened her eyes to find herself laying down on the grass- alive.]
"Told you that you would land on your feet, didn't i?"
[Spadepaw nodded, getting to her paws and burying her catch as she sat to catch her breath for a moment.]
I wont let you down, Birdsong! i promise...
...But my loyalty to you will never be.

[Birdsong]
Set me free. Let me die.
[I wove through the trees and bushes, circling my way around the tall trunks, always keeping one eye on Spadepaw. I could smell the faint scent of blood in the air, and watched her make her kills. She was really turning out to be a fine apprentice.
Are you proud of her, StarClan? I thought sarcastically, a snarl on my lips.
I peered through bush as Spadepaw fell, but did nothing about it. I knew she would be safe. And she was. Spadepaw landed on the ground, safe and sound. I snorted quietly. She probably prayed to StarClan to help her.
I thought you knew better..
I appeared next to Spadepaw, seemingly out of nowhere]
"Good catch. I need you to go back to camp. I have to talk to Galestar about your assesment" I meowed, flicking my tail.
There's nothing left for me here.

[Spadepaw couldn't help but smile widely as her blue eyes sparkled in joy.]
"Oh, thank you- I mean..."
[Spadepaw dipped her head in slight embarrassment.]
"Thank you very much Birdsong. I just need to get my rabbit- you go ahead, i won't be too far behind."
[She mewed, and with a respectful flick of her ears, counted her tail was too small for it to be seen, she grabbed her squirrel and loped off to go and get her rabbit.]
My assessment! This Is great! I'll be a warrior soon! I wonder what my name'll be... Spade...claw? Oh, i hope not. Spadepelt? No, that sounds mouse-brained. Spadeheart? ooh, not too bad...Oh, oh, what about Spadestream?...Wait a moment, that makes me sound like a river!
[Spadepaw shook the thought off, grabbing the rabbit in her stuffed jaws, clamping tightly.]
What about Spadetail? Wait a moment, that's quite a rude name, considering I don't really have much of a tail...Galestar would never do that!...I hope. Spade....err....Spadecloud? Oh, starclan forbid i'd get such a foul name as that...I hope Galestar chooses a good name.
[The tortoiseshell apprentice fretted, her paws leading her back towards camp. She noticed her sister, Dicepaw, along the way. Spadepaw paused, setting her prey down as she watched her sister staring at her killed prey.]
"Good day to you, Dicepaw! Hunting going well?"
[Dicepaw nearly jumped out of her fur when she heard her sister's voice.]
"Dear starclan, i thought you were a badger for a moment there! Yes, hunting's gone pretty well. You're up early. You must not have slept too long. I thought Birdsong would've given you a couple more winks of sleep."
[Spadepaw huffed.]
"I could care less about sleep right now. Birdsong says she's going to talk to Galestar about my assessment! I'm going to be a warrior!"
[Dicepaw's eyes widened some with pure surprise.]
"Really, now? That's great, Spadepaw. Have you thought of your name yet?"
[Spadepaw turned and licked her shoulder with embarrassment.]
"Actually, I have...I can't quite put my paw on one that sounds right."
"Well, starclan forbid that Galestar would name you Spadetail."
"That's exactly what i thought! What do you think would sound good? I thought Spadeheart had a good ring to it."
"Personally, i'd want something that talks about my appearence. Spadespots, maybe...or Spadespeckle?"
[Spadepaw let out a small chuckle.]
"All those make me sound so...spotty."
[Dicepaw looked at her prey.]
"Isn't that what you want? You are very spotty."
"True...but maybe something else."
"Spadestripe, then."
[Spadepaw blinked, and the two got to their paws, preparing to head back to camp.]
"Why'd you pick that? I like it, but why?"
"It just sounds right for you."
"Okay...i'll be a mouse if Galestar picks that, though!"
[And with that, the two picked up their catches and headed back to camp.]
...But my loyalty to you will never be.

[Birdsong]
Set me free. Let me die.
[I watched my apprentice pad away, excitement glittering in her young eyes. I suddenly felt old beyond my years, having seen too much, and loved too little. I sighed, weary and beat out.
I pricked my ears, hearing a slight whisper on the wind]
"Birdsong.."
"Blazeheart?"
"Birdsong, you must come"
"Hold on! I'm coming!" I whispered.
[Forgetting all about Spadepaw, Galestar, and the world around me. All I was focusing on was that voice, luring me away]
((To Forest Outskirts! Watch, but don't interfere))
There's nothing left for me here.

[Spadepaw padded into camp, ready to tell her fellow clanmates about her upcoming assessment. She paused, looking out towards the elder's den. She padded in and prodded Cometstream. The tabby let out a grunt, raising her head and gazing up at Spadepaw with her pale silvery eyes.]
"Cometstream, it's Spadepaw...Birdsong's going to give me an assessment soon!"
[Cometstream blinked, looking off for a minute with worry in her eyes. She gave an approving nod and didn't say a word, resting her muzzle on her paws as she looked off, a very worried expression on her face.]
"Cometstream, Dicepaw's not going to-"
[Spadepaw sighed, deciding to drop the conversation entirely. She padded out with a huff. Not seeing her mentor, she decided to rest, taking a spot in the apprentice area of the clearing.]
I bet Birdsong's in there right now, telling Galestar all about my progress as an apprentice!
[Spadepaw thought, looking up at the entrance to Galestar's den.]
...But my loyalty to you will never be.

I have learned to hate all traitors Pepperpaw[Pepperpaw padded into the camp, a fairly large rabbit in his jaws along with a plump mouse. He planned to take the mouse to his sister in hopes of cheering her up.]
[After dropping the rabbit in the fresh-kill pile Pepperpaw bounded over to the apprentice den only to discover his siter was sound asleep. His ears drooped slightly but he still continued inside. He set the mouse in front of her. When she woke she would be greeted with a meal.]
[Pepperpaw made his way out into the clearing once more. He sighed, he had hoped to talk to Saltpaw but that was out of the question, at least until she had enough time to recover. He looked around, immediately spotting his love, Spadepaw. He crept up to her, trying to go unnoticed before nestling up beside her.] there is no disease that I spit on more than treachery

Pebbleheart “Nobody trips over mountains. It is the small pebble that causes you to stumble."
_________________________________________________________ [Pebbleheart's head felt random shots of pain, due to all the tragic events. She felt that the talk with Hauntednight would have to wait. She went up to her mate and pressed her muzzle against his, giving him a swift lick.] "I'm going to take a short walk alone first, okay? I want to hunt something fresh for Blossomkit as well.." Pebbleheart said, giving her mate another lick goodbye. Soon enough she was hurrying to the entrance and disappeared in the distance, towards the outlands.]
((the outlands)) _________________________________________________________
"Pass all the pebbles in your path and you will find you have crossed the mountain.”

[Birdsong]
I'd give it all up.
[I padded over the borderline, back from the outskirts of the forest, feeling as if a crushing weight was over me, always pressing. I had just lost my mate, again. For the second time. Hanging my head, I trudged through the territory, passing prey that could easily have been caught. None of it mattered. BreezeClan could go hungry for all I cared. They never tried to help. They were just as bad as StarClan. Everyone was trying to kill me. The shadows danced around the trunks of trees, beckoning me onward, offering me death. I could kill myself. No one would have to know. Sure, Mapleleaf would be upset, and maybe Rosewind, but other than that, who would care?
No one
That's right. No one. I sighed, shaking my head. Not now, later. Right now, Spadepaw needed me. Needed her assessment. She was so much better than me, I was so proud of her.
Trudging on, I finally arrived back at camp, agony and despair rolling off me in waves. There was nothing for me to hold on to. Ignoring the cats, I padded up to Galestar's den, and poked my head in, remembering the hide and seek game we played once. Before Frostclaw came and scolded me. He didn't seem to be there. (Where is Galestar, anyways?). Turning around, I looked down upon the cats assembled, sharing tongues or just enjoying the sunlight while it lasted. I could see Spadepaw. With her mate.
Hang onto him, Spadepaw. You don't want to end up like me, do you?]
Just to with you again.

Hauntednight
The living nightmare ~=============================================~ [Hauntednight tried to nod but felt uncertainty prickle at his pelt.] When Iceears went out, she was snatched up by a giant bird. I have to make sure that doesn't happen to Pebbleheart. [Hauntednight waited for Pebbleheart to leave, her scent fading away. He put his injured paw down and felt not alot of pain. He looked up an padded after Pebbleheart.] ((To Outlands)) ~=============================================~

I have learned to hate all traitorsPepperpaw "Sorry if I startled you." [Pepperpaw said before letting out a long and relaxed sigh. He hadn't had any quality time with Spadepaw for quite a while. It over joyed him to be so close to her once again. She was an excellent warrior in the making and he knew she could look out for herself, but part of him wanted to be there with her every step of the way, to help her up when she fell, lick her sounds when she got injured. Though, that would only hinder them both. Time together it wonderful, but time apart is equally needed.]
"What is new in the land of Spadepaw?" [The black tom asked before running his tongue over Spadepaw's pelt. A few more licks and he settled, laying his head sideways on his mate's back.] there is no disease that I spit on more than treachery

[Icemane slowly crept forward, his ears intent on the oblivious little squirrel happily chattering. 'One, Two, Three. ' Gone. Doing a silent prayer of thanks to the squirrel and Starclan, he quickly buried the squirrel and slunk away, in look for more prey.]
*Catches more prey*
[Prideful of his catch, Icemane happily sauntered into camp and toward the fresh kill pile, a couple of limp squirrels and a mouse hanging limply in his jaws. Swiftly dropping them, he snagged the mouse again and happily padded away, eye bright, tail up.]
