"Well if we don't kill him maybe there will be death and destruction and maybe this realm will be destroyed and the Cykarie Realm (otherwise know as the Sye Realm in the future) will have a waged war with a realm Blackfang named after himself." Ryujini said then paused. The three of them broke out laughing.
"Alright Goldpaw, what can you smell?" It was the fourth day of training., Goldpaw was learning all the ropes, and according to Darkmeadow, extremely fast for someone her age. She had learned what many apprentices took a few moons to learn, in three days. She was caught up with Ebonypaw in the training, and they were both out with their mentors. She sniffed the air, "Vole, but its stale, probably crossed here about an hour ago." She sniffed again, "Bird, trees, and..." She sniffed again. "I don't know that one." She paused thinking.
"That would be rouge." Sunstream, Ebonypaw's mentor stated. "We have them crossing our territory quite a lot."
"Well we should run them off!" Ebonypaw jumped in and stood in a battle ready stance. Sunstream laughed and flicked her apprentice on the head with her tail.
"They don't cause harm to us, so we cause no harm to them." Darkmeadow said, with authority, yet gently at the same time. "Now why don't you two catch some prey together. Go on your own hunting mission, and bring enough food back to feed all four of us. Work together, you'll need to leanr to work as a team." Goldpaw and Ebonypaw jumped up and said "Okay!" At the exact same time and ran off into the woods. Her bright gold pelt, and his dark black one, side by side in perfect strithe. She nearly tripped watching it. They both came to a stop at the exact moment, as if they shared one mind.
Goldpaw crouched down, and she sniffed out her prey. She flicked her tail to the right. And pounced. In a swift blow to the neck, the vole was dead. It hung loosly in her jaws, and she turned to Ebonypaw with a smile on her face.
"Great catch!" He purred. She smiled, and felt her face grow hot. She pushed it aside and buried her kill. Ebonypaw caught a mouse in the same time as her.
They continued their hunt and decided that before going back, they would rest a bit.
"So Goldpaw, do you enjoy being in the clan?"
Goldpaw began to purr. "So much so! I love it here. So much to see and learn!" Her head began swimming once more with the excitement that the camp brought her.
Ebonypaw laughed, "Good! Then you can stay here forever! Unless, of course you want to go back to wherever you came from,"
Goldpaw looked down. Her happy feeling was gone. Once more, it had hit her in the face that she had no idea where she was from whatsoever.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean..." Ebonypaw trailed off. Goldpaw looked up with a light smile.
"It's okay. I just wish I knew what happened to me before I came here. I wish I remembered who I was before Goldpaw."
"I can only imagine what you're going through." Ebonypaw paused. "Nevermind, I really can't imagine, but the important thing is you're here now."
Goldpaw giggled. "You're right. Thank you Ebonypaw." She smiled at him.
"Anytime Goldy." He winked at her, his ice blue eyes fixed on her deep blue ones. She swore, that right then, she melted into a swirling puddle of goldness. She had to check and make sure she hadn't. She smiled at him and said, "We better be heading back now."
Ebonypaw trotted alongside Goldpaw. His stride matching hers perfectly. They both walked in silence, because they had two kills in there mouth. When they reached Darkmeadow and Sunstream again, they sat down their prey with grins on their faces.
"Great catches you guys! Lets head back to camp, and you can feed those hungry bellies." Sunstream said with a smile on her face. Darkmeadow licked Goldpaw on the head,
"You're doing a great job Goldpaw. I'm proud of you." Goldpaw began to purr,
"Thank you." She said somewhat nervously. The two warriors walked through the bushes headed towards camp, and Ebonypaw and Goldpaw fell into step behind them. Ebonypaw looked at her.
"I don't understand how you're learning all of this! And so quickly! Yesterday during the fighting, you practically outwitted Sunstream every single time."
Goldpaw, embarrassed, shrugged. "But not Darkmeadow."
Ebonypaw looked at her, "No one can outsmart that cat, even if Darkmeadow was blind, deaf, and a gimp."
Goldpaw laughed. "I guess you're right." She stopped in her tracks, and sniffed the air.
"Rogues." Ebonypaw said with no worries, and kept walking.
"No, this is stronger than it was earlier. This was only moments ago." She sniffed the air again, and began walking to the direction it was coming from.
"Goldpaw what are you doing? Where are you going?" Ebonypaw asked following her.
"I'm going to find out what they're doing on our territory."
"Goldpaw, you can't just march up to a rogue and tell it to leave!"
Goldpaw laughed, "No silly, I'm going to evesdrop."
Ebonypaw rolled his eyes. "You aren't doing this alone. I'm coming with you."
"You don't have to if you don't want to.." Goldpaw stated.
Ebonypaw gave her a weird look. "Do you honestly think I would let you do this alone? Think again pussy cat." He chuckled and winked at her.
And of course, Goldpaw couldn't resist him. They began to creep deeper and deeper into the forest, until they came where the scents were nearly over powering. They stopped and sat. They could hear meows coming from a little ways down the path, through the bushes. If they kept low, they could stay under them, and listen. So they both made their way down until the paws of three different cats came into view. They were downwind, so no one would smell them, thank goodness. They began to listen.
"All I know is she's there. And that's all that matters." came a dark, deep voice.
"Good," came a smaller toms, "Thats what we wanted."
"Now what?" A small high pitched mew came from the white paws.
"We wait." Came the darker voice again. "It shouldn't take too long, and then they'll find out whats really going on. So will she."
"Okay Lionfang, whatever you say. You're being very secretive on us. I don't like it." Came the smaller tom again.
"Just keep quite Russel. You'll see what I have planned. Stormclan will get whats coming to them. Come on."
All three of them ran off in unison. Goldpaw looked to Ebonypaw, his eyes were wide with fear.
"What is it? What does he mean?" She asked.
"Lionfang...he used to be a part of Stormclan, but he was exiled, because, he's the one who took Leafstar's first life. He thought he could destroy her. But everyone caught on to what he was doing and we stopped him." He looked at her, and her eyes grew wider.
