"He was annoying me and bossing me around. "Go clean the elders' bedding, go get the elders some fresh kill, go do this, blah blah blah". Eventually I got tired of it. I was an apprentice, but all the others were praised and had training. All I was used for was the elders' personal maid. "Petalpaw has no abilities." I overheard Darklegs saying to Dustrock. "She might as well live with the elders." I saw Dustrock nod. Everyone thinks I'm useless. I couldn't take it. I was only a little upset when the other cats rescued Dustrock. Ban me all you want, aren't I just useless anyway? Sometimes, I remember what I did, and I think, "Why can't I be good and useful? Those claws almost killed Dustrock, they could use me." And sometimes, I think, "Is there even any good in my heart?"" ~ Petallark on uselessness.
Lots of thanks to JayFeatha!
