"Almondpaw,your mentor shall be Gingerheart.I trust that he will train you well." Almondpaw scurried across the Highstones to touch noses with the ginger tom,whose eyes glowed happily. It was the morning after the Gathering,and the whole Clan was on high alert.Firekit had gone missing during the night,and everycat was going to start looking for her after Oceanpaw,Dawnpaw,and Almondpaw's apprentice ceremony. That day would have been the happiest of his life if he hadn't been so scared for Firekit. Oceanpaw's ears were drooping with fear.The same emotion shone in Dawnpaw's eyes. Almondpaw watched the crowd as it dispersed.What was he going to do? "Gingerheart!Almondpaw!Coldeye!Dawnpaw!"Bladesky called. "You're coming with me,so eat up!" "Wait,where are my littermates going?!"Oceanpaw demanded. "We're gonna search for Firekit!"Bladesky mewed. All the blood seemed to drain out of Almondpaw's head. "But Dawnpaw and I haven't had any battle training yet!" The deputy nodded. "Before we go,Coldeye and Gingerheart will take you for some battle training." Oceanpaw looked nervous. "Please be safe." "We will,"Dawnpaw mewed. 0o0o0o0 "Twist and bite down on my hind leg!" Dawnpaw leaped into the air,twisting around.Coldeye crouched,but he mistimed his leap.Dawnpaw caught hold of his tail instead of his leg. Almondpaw slithered underneath Gingerheart,pressing his hind legs against his mentor's legs.He didn't know where the moves were coming from.His eyes were glowing an unnatural silver. <Nip,>said a voice in his head. <Dig your claws in.> Almondpaw did so,and he felt...not happy,but secure.He made sure his claws weren't making Gingerheart bleed,and when Bladesky called out for them to stop,Almondpaw dropped from his mentor.His eyes reverted to their normal blue. As they followed his little sister's scent,he thought about the voice that had been in his head. The voice that had sounded like an older him.
Spooooooooopy I haven't gotten a chance yet to use any OCs,sorry guys.
