 In matters of style, swim with the current;
In matters of principle, stand like a rock.  "It takes courage,
To grow up and become who you really are" [Shiftpelt nodded to both Guardianpaw and Lavenderstar before setting out. She knew the way well enough, and it would only take a few moments of her time to visit StormClan. The she-cat allowed thoughts of the meeting flood her mind and the different scenarios each clan was no doubt facing. Now that she had proof, she could safely say every clan had been attacked, but where did that leave them? How could they possibly get rid of such a large cat? An image of Moss-star flashed in her mind's eye. She had died from falling off a cliff, but the large cat had made it perfectly clear it could survive such a drop. But perhaps if they were to pick the perfect spot, to ensure the slayer fell on the sharp rocks instead of into the ocean. It wasn't much, but it was a plan and would, in time, need to be developed.
The deputy raised her head and looked out in front of her. She had almost missed the fact she had just stepped over the NightClan-StormClan boarder. She gave a heavy but determined sigh and pressed on.]   To be nobody but yourself in a world
That's doing its best to make you somebody else,
Is to fight the hardest battle
You are ever going to fight.
Never stop fighting.

[ I flicked my tail in awe as she watched everyone become an apprentice. I still thought about the cat, Silentkit. She may have not wanted to be an apprentice, but she couldn't sit in the nursery for all her life! Even if I didn't know her, I would not let her, or anyone, give up!
Shiftpelt came in, but I knew nothing about her- I couldn't tell where she was from until I scented her! I was alarmed at first, I thought she would be with more cats. But no! Just her. Why didn't she bring at least ONE cat? But something broke me out of my thoughts. Fish! It smelled funny. I hid my stuck my nose in the grass until I got used to the smell.
Now Puresun announced that she had BABIES with some cat?
I knew that there was always baggage in cat's lives. I also knew that I speak up when its really none of my business, and im also competitive.
GOSH. Tonight was so.. dramatized. Who knew that a ceremony could be changed into a saga of justice, suprises, and confessions? This was too much in one night. I really have to sleep good.

S i l e n t k i t
The white she-cat had crawled to the entrance of the nuesry to watch Shimmerkit's ceremony. She had been happy for her friend but at the same time sad. Shimmerkit's had been her only friend and companion in the nursery and now she would be gone. Silentkit knew her friend would visit but she wouldn't be around as often and she'd sleep somewhere else now. So, to the older kit, it was a bittersweet moment. However, she hid her sadness so that her friend could enjoy this wonderful ceremony, one that Silentkit knew she would never have. She hadn't even reliezed it when Shimmerkit's refused until her own name reached her ears. Once sue realized what was going on, Silentkit sat straight up and her eyes widened. What was Shimmerkit's doing? It didn't take long for an argument to erupt between the cats and Silentkit had no idea what to do. They were arguing about her and whether she should be an apprentice or not. One voice in her head told her that she could be an apprentice but another told her she couldn't. She was crippled and she couldn't fight, right? Glancing around at all the cats, Silentkit gathered her courage and took a deep breath. She heard Puresun's words and looked at the she-cat briefly before the cats around her, most of whom hadn't even noticed her. "Shut up!" she yowled over the clan and stood up the best she could. She locked eyes with Shimmerkit briefly and she smiled at the she-cat, grateful for what she had done.
"I know that I shut myself up, that I didn't want to help. I know that! But look around you, this whole argument is about me and yet no one but Puresun thought to ask me what I thought. You all wanted to make decisions for me. Well I may not have four good legs but my mind works fine!" Silentkit yowled firmly. For once she felt fully confident in herself and she didn't care what the other cats thought or how they looked at her. "You wanna know why Shimmerkit is my only friend, other then my siblings? It's because she doesn't treat me differently just because I'm crippled. Sure I couldn't play games like other kits, I know I can't, but she still tried to make things fun and let me play in ways I could. She never ever gave me special treatment. She treated treated me just like any other cat, which is something most of you have never done. Most of you kept your distance from me and when you did come over all you had to give me was your sympathy. I never ever wanted that! I didn't need or wanted your sympathy, it only made me angry. I could see the way you looked at me, like I was some delicate kit in need of protecting, in need of help. My siblings and Shimmerkit were the only ones that realized what I really needed was to be treated like any other cat. Everyone, except them, wanted to make decisions for me. No one even asked if I wanted to attempt becoming an apprentice. Everyone just assumed that I wouldn't. I'm a kit still okay? How was I supposed to now that my help was even wanted around camp with the way I had been treated, huh? But no more! I will become an apprentice even if I have to train myself. I refuse to be treated like a weak, crippled kit anymore! I may be crippled but it doesn't mean I can't do anything! I taught myself to stand and move with my front legs with only my brother as help. So I know I can do this, win or without the help of the clan or mentor!"
The she-cat took a deep breath and looked around at the clan. Silentkit- no Silentpaw pushed herself onto her front legs and crawled over to Shimmerpaw, head high. She was going to do it, she wasn't going to be afraid anymore. Let them see her, let them now that she no longer cared what they thought. She reached Shimmerpaw quickly and gave her friend a friendly lick in thanks. She'd forever be grateful to her. She opened her mouth to properly thank her friend when Lavenderstar spoke. Silentpaw looked up at the leader and narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Thank you Lavenderstar. However, I want to be the judge of when I need to take a break and put my training on hold. It is my body and I know it's limits much better then you. If I feel strained or one of the medicine cats believe I am, then I shall take a break. However, I would want to start again when I feel fit enough, not when you do. I mean no disrespect but it's my body and I'll know when it's had enough and when it's ready to train again," the new apprentice mewed confidently and stared up at the leader. She tried to locate Guardianpaw in the crowd but he was no where in sight. Instead, she turned her head to Shimmerpaw and smiled. "Thank you," she mewed gratefully.

Beneath this tough exterior,
is someone just begging
to be loved. |Foxfur| NightClan+Deputy+Tom+Mentor+In Love+Tough&Independant You are my love, ____________________________________________________________________________________________ [Padding after his leader, Foxfur settled beneath the Shadowstone, watching his Clanmates from the darkness. Amber eyes narrowed, he listened to Lavenderstar's words, cheering along with the rest of his Clan quietly as new apprentice's and mentors were made. Ceremonies were a favorite part of Foxfur's day. It signaled that Clan life was progressing, and even in the toughest times like these, the ceremonies still went on. NightClan was still strong. As Shiftpelt entered the camp, Foxfur could feel his dark fur bristle. What was she doing here? He remained silent and unmoving as Lavenderstar and Guardianpaw followed after the SeaClan deputy, going to talk, he assumed. Foxfur resisted following after Guardianpaw and snapping at him for going to a place he obviously wasn't needed when Puresun called the warriors together. Foxfur emitted a low growl and got to his paws. She was respected, yes, but she held no position of high power, and therefore shouldn't be able to call meetings whenever she felt like it. Padding forward, the dark ginger tom looked up at Puresun, amber eyes growing wide with shock as she spoke. Foxfur gasped softly. Puresun had broken the warrior code! Where was Lavenderstar!? She needed to hear this!
A bundle of black fur a few tail-lengths away glared up at the deputy, and Foxfur stopped in his tracks. The two locked eyes for a few minutes, neither speaking. Finally, Foxfur looked away, tail lashing. He shot a glare at Puresun, but remained silent, amber eyes troubled. As his leader approached him, Foxfur returned her steady gaze, nodding in understanding. All the Clans needed to band together. As his leader left, Foxfur turned back to his Clanmates, tearing at the ground with his sharp claws. Padding towards Eaglesoar, the deputy bumped the other tom with his nose, then shook his head] "Eaglesoar, you can yell at Puresun when you get back from the hunting patrol. Take your apprentice, and Willowheart and Songpaw. We need the food, so go look. Puresun can wait" [Turning away, he called out to Willowheart, an aura of power surrounding him] "Willowheart, take Songpaw and accompany Eaglesoar and Shimmerpaw on a hunting patrol, okay?" [The she-cat nodded and padded over to Songpaw, forcing a smile. Turning back to Puresun, Foxfur studied her for a few moments, amber eyes dark, a trace of distrust in their depths] "Go help repair the dens or something. Just make yourself useful" [He didn't mean to sound harsh, but he was angry and confused. Sighing, Foxfur turned and stalked away, surveying the camp to make sure his orders were followed] _____________________________________________________________________________________________ You are my life. So peel away my layers,
to find a gentle interior,
one only for you.

Despite how much love I've shown
and the comfort in your eyes I've known...  ❁ Puresun ❁If you die, I'm all alone
despite the souls that fill my home
o o o
The only thing I need is you
but if I tell, what will you do?
I cannot help you
I will not leave you
You cannot hear me
You will not love...═══════════════════════
[I had burned all my bridges, it seemed. Shimmerpaw was the only one seemingly unaffected by the news. I stared at Eaglesoar with a hard, stern look, shaking my head slightly. He has no idea what I've been through, I thought silently. All he sees is betrayal. All everyone sees is betrayal, and sin. I knew that would happen, I knew it would hurt, and I knew there is no possible way I could explain to them that I had no intention of getting pregnant. But this is what I must bear in order to tell the truth.
In fact, his anger at the small part of my story he knew of was so superficial that it was beyond my capacity to feel any remorse from it.]
"Having half-Clan blood is the last thing they have to worry about in their bloodline," I hissed softly, staring strongly into his eyes. [They were partial demons. Unnatural beings that had no place on earth, did not exist in the natural world. It was so above the simple petty problem of being half-Clan that I almost wanted to laugh. If only half-Clan was all they had to worry about! If only I had continued on blindly in life, thinking the worst thing the forest could hold was some stupid badger or twoleg!
Suddenly, then and there, I realized why I had become alienated from my Clanmates to begin with, as if it hadn't been obvious. I had entered a realm few stepped into- the realm of dark, evil spirits who haunted the shadows. And I'd been stupid enough to fall in love with one, and not even the one who fathered my children, at that. There was no way I could explain this to my Clanmates without them thinking I was lying or mad. So I could only present the truth they would understand-that I had kittens who were half-bloods. Half NightClan- half demon. They would only ever know the former of the kitten's story...
I was also slowly realizing that my mother hadn't been present during my confession. Fear and fury mixed in, and I felt utterly confused. She seemed to have stepped away while I was talking (( Pure doesn't know Lavendy stepped away before ))! Even now, she wouldn't listen to me. My heart twinged with hurt, and I sighed heavily.
I nodded at Foxfur, my eyes looking sad but not pitiful-I still felt strong. I had burned down all my regrets and guilt- I was fully exposed. Raw, but fresh. Cleansed. Pure again...
I turned, attending to the elder's den with determined movements, when I heard someone yowl my name and turned around. Guardianpaw ran up to me excitedly, his fur fluffed out.]
"Come on, I'm taking you with me to send a message to SeaClan!" he exclaimed quickly, tugging at my tail for me to hurry.
[I hissed in annoyance, swatting at him good-naturedly.]
"And what makes you think I should be trusted out of camp after that?" I asked curtly. [He stared at me blankly, tilting his head, and I blinked back, confusion filling my eyes.] "What're you talkin' about?" he asked. I opened my mouth to speak as I realized he had missed the confession as well, but he interrupted, "Nevermind, tell me later! Lavenderstar told me to get a warrior to accompany me an I choose you!"
"Lavenderstar?" I asked sharply. [So my mother had been with Guardianpaw...? But what...why had they missed the rest of the meeting?
Guardianpaw was practically bouncing out of his fur, so I sighed, giving him the benefit of the doubt and followed after him.
He raced ahead excitedly, zooming across NightClan territory with gusto. I raced after him, cursing myself for having such stubby legs.
But it was nice to have this moment in time before Guardianpaw knew my secret. I indulged in his ignorance and affection for me, for I almost knew he'd hate me afterwards...]
═══════════════════════ ...six of sin with you now roam
will you guide them to their home?
I can only pray you do
before I confess it all.
Let me keep one thing near;
the heart that bonds us, my dear
o o o
For if I sleep at end of day
I find your shadow fades away ...I cannot sleep in fear of how
the darkness holds two shadows now.

Not even you...  If I die before you wake
don't you cry don't you ache
nothings ever yours to keep

[Slowly creeping across the cold and muddied ground of nightclan Forsaken returned. The slithering shadow rose to take the familiar form of a thin cat as it's glimmering eyes intently stalked the camp from a far, watching from the outskirts of dead cat's hollow. The sound of outraged clan cats could be heard from here, Forsaken narrowed it's eyes as it's jagged fangs formed into a scowl. The strange she cat was right, again! The demon must have been too late! Anxious anticipation bubble up in the dark spirit as it's sinister eyes watched Puresun give her announcement. The thought of leaping out from the shadows and dragging her under to prevent her from talking crossed the demon's mind, but Forsaken was no fool. Such a rash decision would cause even more uproar. Under it's breath the demon snarled it's unholy snarl.]
What were you thinking Puresun! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING! Do you know what you have done!?
[Forsaken's atmosphere turned from cold to hot as it dug it's saber like claws into the mud. Slowly the atmosphere returned back to cold as the glow in the demon's eyes began to dim.]
What have I done. She got into this mess because she thought she could help me to begin with, and now look at her. She is one of the few cats who has ever shown me compassion, and have it be genuine. That night i came to nightclan to trick Fathom... she was there, and she was there ever since...
[guilt filed the demon's soul for the very first time. It felt as if it had swallowed a heavy stone and would have to bare its weight forever. The looks the fiery ginger tom and the large half eared one gave her made Forsaken's anger boil. As an apprentice bounced up to her Forsaken melted away, seeing that she was still safe.]
Forgive me Puresun, it would seem that I am not all that good at giving you the life you deserve. Maybe i should stick to what i am best at, deceiving the lost and harvesting their blood. kekekekek

" Keep holding on, 'cause you know we'll make it through! " S h i m m e r p a w " With you by my side I will fight and defend! "  [ Shimmerpaw met her new mentor's harsh gaze with an even, unwavering silver gaze. She would show him right away that she wouldn't back down. She tolerated her mother in times like this, she tolerated her Clanmates in times like this. Shimmerpaw nodded curtly, showing that she understood, but added in a tail lash subtly. She wasn't going to back down, no matter how awkward- or intimidating- the situation. Shimmerpaw stiffly touched noses with her new mentor, her eyes taking in all his scars. She swallowed her surprise. What in StarClan has he done these past few moons?! a questioning surprised thought echoed through Shimmerpaw's mind. Learning- gradually- that some of these weird thoughts would echo through her head- and her jaws- at strange times, Shimmerpaw ignored it. Her attention was then brought t her side, where she listened with attentiveness- and a certain maternal gaze- as Silentkit defended herself. In a subtle gesture of support, Shimmerpaw laid her tail against SilentPAW's shoulder, her frame straightening. The golden bengal newly-made apprentice met each and every cat that had insulted her's gaze- whether it be in whisperings behind her back, or in blatant arguments. Shimmerpaw had definitely made an impression on NightClan! Whether it was good or bad was yet to be seen. ]
Shimmerpaw licked Silentkit's ear in response, her silver eyes glowing. "You're welcome. It's what you desere- it's what you've always deserved. It breaks my heart whenever another cat is treated unfairly. My mother treated me like I was an alien to her- I actually liked going outside! And Twolegs gave me the creeps. Plus, I'm positive that Leopardstorm would have done the exact same thing. Even though some cats don't believe it," Shimmerpaw replied warmly, though lowering her voice and hissing out the last sentence, casting a virtually undetectable glance in Eaglesoar's and Puresun's direction.
[ Shimmerpaw sighed, oulling herself to her paws. Time to go, she thought wearily. Shimmerpaw nudged Silentpaw's shoulder once more, a friendly shine in her silver gaze. She turned and trudged after Eaglesoar, though her paws itched to go hunting. She had missed it for so long- but in her kittypet life, never got a chance to! Shimmerpaw had a small hunch that hunting would come easily to her- even though they was hardly any prey left. Shimmerpaw trotted up to Eaglesoar, her silver eyes curious but still wary. ]
"Is there even going to be any prey, persay? As I recall, all of it fled before Ravage showed up. And where did you get all those scars?" Shimmerpaw pointed out, then asked blatantly. She figured that by asking that question, she would blow up his ego, but still, she was genuinely curious. Her tail flicked back and forth, silver eyes locked on the boggy marsh ahead of her. Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap!
It's time to try defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
And you won't bring me down!
I'm through accepting limits
'Cause someone says there so
Some things cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well if that's love,
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner buy defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
And you won't bring me down!

[ I watched as the world seemed to sit still, at least for a couple seconds, Before I knew it, Willowheart padded to me. My eyes flickered in awe. ]
" Were going hunting? Finally!! "
[ Instead of my mentor leading me, I padded faster and ran ahead. I stopped to have my mentor catch up. She would once I stopped talking. I talk quite a bit!]
" I hope we could catch some prey! It would be great, since they ran away. How much should be there? Will the others come back? What do you think, Willowheart? "
[ I really couldn't see why everyone would worry. Although it does take me a while to actually understand things. My tail swished back in forth, and I full of glee. For now. When I'm tired, I get a little touchy. And I'm a little tired now.. ]

Wonderful, a hunting patrol? It was probably a well known fact that although he was one of the most fierce and best warriors of Nightclan, his hunting skills were abysmal. Why on earth would Foxfur want him to go on a hunting patrol of all things, he didn't know.]
"Yes sir. Come on Shimmerpaw, Nightclan needs all the food we can get...but that's a good question, there's probably not a single mouse stirring out there. We can always survive on berries..."
I'd be lucky to even catch a mouse tail, with almost no prey in the forest.
[He kept the last thought to himself, as Shimmerpaw's mentor he had the responsibility to teach her all the hunting skills he had, although he had a feeling that she would need some extra lessons from other more capable hunters if she wanted to pass her hunting exams. He stayed silent for a few heartbeats when Shimmerpaw questioned about his scars, it wasn't something he liked to talk about and it bruised his ego every time he thought about it. At least Songpaw had dashed on ahead, and won't have to hear his shameful answer.]
"These scars are reminders of the first and only fight I ever lost, against a band of foxes. I couldn't protect Nightclan...and I almost lost Tigerfang."
[He said the last part in a quiet hiss, whirling around and swiping his claws at a nearby tree, sending pieces of bark flying in every direction. That incident was a huge blow to his ego, and he never liked to talk about it. It was a few moments before he finally tore his claws away from the tree, casting a brief glance at Shimmerpaw before trotting forwards again. Seeing how curious she was, Eaglesoar had no doubt that she would question on that topic again and again...]

" Keep holding on, 'cause you know we'll make it through! " S h i m m e r p a w " With you by my side I will fight and defend! " [ Shimmerpaw blinked in surprise, quickly ducking as a fairly sized chunk of bark flew over her head- right where it had been. Her body was pressed flat, but not touching the ground. It was nearly a prime hunting position, and it was a panic! Shimmerpaw shook herself, casting a nervous glance in Eaglesoar's direction. She had though that when she was assigned to him, she would be able to be trained to the best of her abilities. But here she was, starting her training by ducking flying bits of bark in her mentor's rant. Shimmerpaw swallowed, silver eyes glued to the ground. ]
"Oh," Shimmerpaw answered quietly, not wanting to add an "I'm sorry".
[ From what Shimmerpaw had observed of her tenacious mentor, adding her sympathy would just damage his ego more. Here she was, assuming it would blow up his ego, and instead she brought it crashing down. Regret pinched her belly. Shimmerpaw honestly was curious; she had no idea! Yet still, she blamed herself. Somehow, she should have known. She should have known a lot of things! It would take her time to realize that sometimes you just don't know something, and other cats will come to terms with it. Shimmerpaw scuffed the ground with her paws as she walked. Her ears were pressed flat against her head. She would definitely do her best to please her mentor and make him proud- especially after her outburst earlier today. Inwardly, she shuddered. That should never have happened, even though it gave Shimmerpaw satisfaction to have helped Silentpaw. But it was just one of those things that kept nagging. Shimmerpaw kept her eyes straight ahead, if not down. Shimmerpaw kept her senses trained on the territory around her, watching, sniffing, and listening for any prey. Shimmerpaw hurried forward to keep up with her mentor, still a little rigid from his outburst. ]

I ran back and notified myself that Eaglesoar and Shimmerpaw were here. I ran towards them but tripped on a root of a tree- which concluded me to fall on my face. I got up, and spat out dirt.

Rats, first hunting session and he was already messing up. Wonderful, fleabrain. He thought sarcastically, giving himself a mental clawing.]
"Ahem anyway kiddo, if you see a fox, uh, don't forget to run. Don't try to fight it, it'll be a stupid mistake."
[He quickly corrected himself, looking back to check that the young she-cat was still in one piece. Shimmerpaw was too much of a mouthful, she would just have to get used to the fact that she would be called "kiddo" from now on. They travelled onwards for some time, until Songpaw ran back to join them - and tripping on a root in the process. He fought back the urge to smile, instead he only shot Songpaw a brief glance before continuing onwards.]
"How much prey? We'll be lucky if we get a lizard's discarded tail."
[He said with a snort, obviously not expecting much from this hunting expedition. As if in answer to his question, many fox lengths away (about 5m irl I'd say) was a single small lizard basking on a rock. It probably got separated from the rest of the prey animals as they went on a rampage...and probably was the only prey they were going to find. Normally a mentor would show his apprentice how to hunt...but knowing his own skills, Eaglesoar didn't want to mess this one up.]
"Right kiddo, see that reptile on the rock? Let's see what you can do."
[He forced a smile of encouragement, although it looked a little forced, he still tried to make it look genuine. Who knows, Shimmerpaw had pretty good reflexes when she ducked to avoid the piece of tree bark, maybe she would be a pretty good hunter as well.]

You say that beauty is everything,
but can't you see the real me?
Look past the outside, I'm begging,
just love me for me. |Willowheart| NightClan|Warrior|She-Cat|Mentor|It's Complicated|Fierce&Vain _________________________________________________________________ [Willowheart watched the scenes unfold, beautiful green eyes widening with shock as it hit her. What was NightClan coming to!! Rising to her paws with a grunt when her name was called, the she-warrior padded after her apprentice, a faint smile playing with her mouth as Songpaw rambled on. The little she-cat was so joyful, Willowheart couldn't help but catch her mood. As the patrol entered the territory, the she-warrior caught up with her apprentice, letting Eaglesoar and Shimmerpaw take the lead. With the weather and the sunshine, the marshy forest should've been teeming with prey, but it was basically empty. She sniffed the air, not even a whiff of prey. Grunting, Willowheart flicked her ears, hearing Eaglesoar's and Shimmerpaw's conversation. Eaglesoar wasn't the best hunter, but his fighting skills were highly known throughout the Clan. He and Foxfur were both very good. Maybe that was why the deputy had chosen the Ginger warrior to come along, just in case the patrol met something threatening, Eaglesoar would protect them. Smiling slightly, she spotted the lizard and nosed Songpaw gently] "C'mon Songpaw, let's go hunt over there. Eaglesoar, we'll try and look in different places, instead of all of us sticking together. Good luck you two," [Blinking respectfully at the Ginger warrior, Willowheart looked down at her apprentice before padding forward, ducking underneath a bush and sniffing the air] __________________________________________________________________ Is it so hard to be real?
To let go of everything you know,
and just start again?
with nothing to hide.

" Keep holding on, 'cause you know we'll make it through! " S h i m m e r p a w " With you by my side I will fight and defend! " [ The golden bengal apprentice looked up at her mentor, blinking her big silver eyes. She ducked her head and nodded, tail flicking back and forth. Her claws sheathed themselves as the ground beneath her began to get boggier, squelching with every step. Lightening herself on her paws, gingerly placing each paw before she stepped and gradually applying weight, Shimmerpaw soon fell into a semi-familiar rhythm (sp? Dx) and kept her pawsteps silent. She had always used this tactic to not wake her mother or her siblings as she crept out of the Twoleg den, not wanting the den to squeak on her and alert her mother as to her adventures. Shimmerpaw listened to Eaglesoar, then flicked her ears. ]
"Well, you win some, you lose some. You can't be the best at everything. You must learn to be open-minded and learn new things every day," Shimmerpaw replied, her silver eyes thoughtful.
[ Her mother was a firm believer in that idea. It was the one thing that Shimmerpaw admired about her mother. She was always willing to learn something every day, though she may not like it. She easily learned that Shimmerpaw was an independent cat that couldn't be restricted to a Twoleg den on the day that the bengal kit had left and hadn't returned. Nor did she plan to. Shimmerpaw glanced back at Songpaw and Willowheart, but could barely repress a smile as Songpaw tripped. Shimmerpaw flicked Songpaw in a friendly manner on the shoulder as the passed, then turned her attention back to her mentor. She narrowed her eyes as Eaglesoar pointed out the lizard, and her stomach dropped. Now it was up to her to catch what was likely to be the only prey in the Clan's territory? With no example?! Shimmerpaw set her jaw determinedly and nodded.
Shimmerpaw dropped to the ground, in a steady hunter's crouch. It seemed to come so naturally to her! Yet still, her tail flicked back and forth. She soon realized that any obvious movement would frighten the prey away, and so the bengal apprentice had to constantly remind herself to keep her tail still. Place, test, step. Place, test, step. Over and over again. Shimmerpaw silently crept toward the lizard, and got within a mouselength of it...
Before realizing she was upwind. The lizard had caught her scent! It made a mad dash for a nearby rock, but in a flash, Shimmerpaw leapt at it. Her thorn sharp claws pierced it's back and her weight snapped it's spine, killing it instantly. It was a clumsy hunt, but she had caught it! On her first try! Shimmerpaw ducked her head in embarrassment due to her mad scramble, but she still was a little prideful. She had done it! She had actually caught the slippery lizard! ]
(( Wrell, you can't be good at everything, right? c; xD )) Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap!
It's time to try defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
And you won't bring me down!
I'm through accepting limits
'Cause someone says there so
Some things cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well if that's love,
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner buy defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
And you won't bring me down!

[ I looked at Eaglesoar with panicky eyes. I thought that the prey would come back! But maybe Eaglesoar was too doubtful. I walked by and felt a flick from Shimmerpaw. I grinned, even though I knew everyone knew I tripped.
My fur bristled as I saw my first lizard. It really looked scaly and.. Green.
I kept staring at it with my deep blue eyes, until Willowheart nosed me. We were going to hunt somewhere else. I nodded to my mentor and flicked my tail as goodbye to our partners. ]
" Bye, Eaglesoar, bye Shimmerpaw.. "
[ I ducked under the bush and followed Willowheart. As I walked, I thought about the prey. I thought they would hobble back into our territory.
Then I started to wonder if we would starve. I looked down and I felt anxious. ]
