Story told by Applekit

What do you mean ‘some’ kind of trouble? Palekit is always in trouble! Oh, your talking about why the nursery den is torn..? Uhhh, definitely not him! Oh, no, he would never scratch the den up because he didn’t want to sleep! What did you say? You SAW him do it? Pshh, I’m sure you just saw a small badger! I definitely didn’t help Palekit with the den, though! That would be crazy!

Prompt;;

“Are you listening, Swanpaw?”

“Yeah…”

“Then what did I say?”

The pale white feline turned her head, blinking slowly at her mentor, Badgerpine. The tom was visibly irritated, his green gaze steely and cold as he awaited a response.

“I dunno.” Swanpaw shrugged, shuffling her paw through the dirt. Badgerpine sighed, flustered with his disinterested apprentice, opening his maw but struggling to find the right words.

“Let’s finish up early – it’s quite hot today.” Ploverswoop, the other mentor in the clearing, mewed. Badgerpine nodded, walking away with a flick of his tail. Ploverswoop nodded to dismiss her own apprentice, Willowpaw, who dutifully obeyed and scampered away from the clearing without even glancing back to her sister.

Swanpaw scowled as she vanished into the brush.

“Walk with me, Swanpaw.”

‘Here we go,’ Swanpaw huffed, rising to her paws and trailing after Ploverswoop. Swanpaw glanced up at the molly, curious when the warrior would start the berating lecture, expressing disappointment and giving a punishment for her disobedience. But all she could see on the molly’s face was a thoughtful look, with no particular emotion running through her bright eyes.

Finally, Ploverswoop broke the silence. “Just because you’re not good at battle practice doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try, no matter how much it troubles you.”

Swanpaw hissed, frustrated that she was so easily read. “It’s easy for you to say! I’m so small that anything I do is pathetic!” She swiped at the heather, sending pieces flying. “And Willowpaw is so perfect at it and pretends she isn’t. It drives me mad!”

Ploverswoop paused. “How do you think Morningstar fares in battle? Do you think, because she is short, she simply gives up?”

Swanpaw frowned, but shook her head, realisation dawning across her face.

“She uses it to her advantage. Turn your disadvantages into strengths, Swanpaw! We can ask for Morningstar’s help, if you want. All you need to do is talk about your troubles to us – we’re here to help you learn.”

Swanpaw stared up at Ploverswoop. “Would Morningstar really help me?”

“Of course!” Ploverswoop laughed, nudging the apprentice. “What sort of leader wouldn’t help her clanmates? Let’s go ask her. But first, Swanpaw?”

“Yeah?” The white molly mewed.

“For slacking off, you’re on tick-clearing duty for the elders.”

Swanpaw scowled, but nodded, not minding the punishment, and headed back to camp with optimism for the first time in a long time.

Clan;; Ridgeclan
Rank;; apprentice.

Prompt;;
“You better got talk to Doepaw,” A and voice said with no greeting, the words simple and firm as the young tom who’d spoken them came into sight.

Lifting her head up from the ground Dovepaw turns to look to the tom, seeing Adderpaw standing before her, his face just as hard as his tone. “Why do I need to go talk to Doepaw?” She asks him though the question is flat, lacking any form of real curiosity.

Adderpaw’s eyes narrow at that looking down at the molly still laying as if she had no care in the world, though he supposed she didn’t, Dovepaw didn’t really care about anything from what he knew. “You know what I’m talking about Dovepaw, the rumors you started even if no one believes you it needs to be dealt with. You need to apologize.”

Dovepaw stood at that, turning to the tom wit a gleam in her eyes and a small smile perking on her lips. The tom would have stepped back if he hadn’t seen the look on her face before, the outsider was messed up, more so then most of the spies. The elders blamed it on her upbringing, Adderpaw just thought she liked to see the fear in others eyes when she looked at them. “If they know it’s a lie then what’s the point of me going and talking to her?” The challenge in her voice was clear and Adderpaw had to restrain himself from lashing out at her.

“You going to go tell my mentor Adderpaw? Try and get me in trouble because I hurt Doepaw’s feelings? What are you going to do?” Dovepaw challenged as she moved closer to the tom, tail losing out behind her.

Adderpaw didn’t fall for the bait that she dangled in front of him, watching her instead with sad eyes. The pity in them caused her to almost take a step back and he took that as his cue. “I’m not going to tell Nightwind, I’m sure she already knows so there’s no point in her hearing it from me. You are in trouble Dovepaw but it’s not with Doepaw, it’s with yourself. Until you get over whatever it is that you have to go on you’re always going to be in trouble. You have to figure out how to help yourself and get yourself out of trouble.”

Gender;; female
Age;; 3 moons
Clan;; NorthClan
Rank;; kit / wannabe healer

Prompt;;

“Heatherkit!” Cloudgaze sighed, torn between amusement and exasperation. He glanced about his small herb store, at the previously neatly-folded leaves scattered haphazardly about. Pikapaw, his apprentice, would never be so careless, and no other cats ever got into the herb store without asking the healers- who actually knew what they were doing, thank you very much- for remedy options. There was only one other possible culprit in Cloudgaze’s mind.

Cloudgaze sighed. He dearly loved Heatherkit, but she had a knack for testing his patience. He had all but adopted her when a patrol had found her, washed up on the shore of the border river, soaked through and shivering. She had been sickly for nearly a moon afterwards, and though he was happy she was healthy, he had noticed her devoting most of her newfound energy to mischief.

It didn’t take long to find her- the fluffy kit was perched on the edge of a nest in the nursery, her stubby tail sticking up proudly, speaking to the other kits in gravely important tones. Clasped between her front paws was a bundle of leaves obviously lifted from Cloudgaze’s stores.

“Heatherkit!” At Cloudgaze’s call, she nearly toppled over onto the other kits. Needlekit let out a small snicker, while Erminekit and Gentiankit turned toward the newcomer, peering with interest at the older healer.

“Hi, Cloudgaze!” Heatherkit chirped, obviously not under the impression she had done anything wrong. “Erminekit was complaining of a bellyache, so I went into your stores to get some herbs for her!”

“I told you,” Erminekit said, her ears twitching inpatiently. “I’m feeling better now. Everything is fine. You didn’t need to-”

“But I did!” Heatherkit exclaimed, darting over toe show Cloudgaze. “Look! I grabbed the right ones and everything!”

Oh dear. Cloudgaze peered down to examine the leaves she was showing him and- sure enough, they were the very same he commonly used to soothe bellyache.

“You are right about that, Heatherkit,” he said. “But all the same- you made a great mess of the stores Pikapaw and I work to keep neat. If your clanmates are hurting, it’s admirable to try and help them- but no matter how much you may remember, it’s best that you direct them to the actual healers first and foremost.”

“Maybe I can teach you some more about herbs? As punishment, of course,” he joked at the kit’s crestfallen expression.
