she nodded softly. "alright, want to just hunt then? i can teach you the basics."

[prince.]

firefly dipped his head, a determined glint in his pale green eyes. "right, i'll become your apprentice for a while, then," he purred. "if you want, i can teach you the basics of medicine in return?"

[yeeee.]

anger. confusion. batpaw wasn't sure what to do with himself anymore. eveningpaw came in- he knew she was hurt. but he was so tired. and before he knew it, she was gone again without goodbye. lifting his head, the ebony tom dragged himself to his paws. firefly was gone. and he wasn't coming back. the same probably went for eveningpaw. what did i do to deserve this? the apprentice shifted, before a soft sigh escaped his maw. i lost my temper. i said harsh things to eveningpaw... nightpaw- i managed to control myself more. but it doesn't matter. what do i even do from here? batpaw padded into the medicine cat den slowly, the pulsating pains in his torn pawpads continuing.

grabbing some cobwebs he pressed it to his pads. i don't deserve horsetail. save it for later... how am i supposed to do this? bearstar doesn't believe me half the time, nightpaw doesn't care- thunderpaw's up there with bearstar- and firefly ran off and left me here with only basic knowledge. eveningpaw... well she just hates herself... the rest of the clan doesn't know what to do... rogues are supposedly running rampant... how am i supposed to do this? why did everyone decide that their own happiness was more than the clan's? shifting slightly, he licked his maw, and fixed his slate eyes towards the entrance. i thought the same thing. that what's wrong with me. i wanted love. i'm selfish.... my clan comes first. that is the true test of a medicine cat- loving the clan without ever loving a certain someone too much. licking his forelegs, the tall tom remained silent in the den. scooting back into the cooler reaches, he continued thinking silently- it didn't even occur to him he hadn't said a word in almost a day.

cherrytail padded out of the warrior's den with a large yawn. the petite brown she cat didn't even know anything was wrong- she'd been napping most of the day, ever since the scare with creekpaw. spotting her apprentice, nightpaw, sitting there idly- which was much unlike her- the molly decided to head over. "hi nightpaw. what's the matter? you look like someone slipped thorns in your moss," cherrytail stated, glancing at her apprentice with turquoise and golden eyes.

Nightpaw
Nightpaw looked at her paws. "Thunderpaw and Batpaw... They're the matter..." she answered quietly.

Swiftclaw
Swiftclaw padded across the border. He was still following Creekpaw's scent. He looked around for any rogues, but he didn't see any. "I wonder where their camp or nests are..." he thought.

eveningpaw had padded back into the medicine den to see batpaw. "look, batpaw. i'm sorry about earlier. i wish you luck with the clan and with nightpaw, in my opinion she is rather ignorant if she's passing by a tom like you, and if anything, she's lucky to even have you. goodbye, batpaw." she meowed softly, dipping her head to the blind medicine cat apprentice and then padding off into the forest.

persephone grinned, chuckling softly. "alright. first, get into a crouch like this." she meowed, getting into a hunter's crouch. "place your tail on the ground and stay still, if you do, you can feel the movement under you, sometimes sniffing fails you."

[prince.]

firefly took in everything she was telling him, determined to get this right and perhaps impress her by being a quick learner. as soon as he was sure of what he was doing, he dropped into what would be an okay-looking crouch, copying her movement for movement.

[.:Whimsical.Ghosts:.]

(May I have a repost?)

[yeeee.]

batpaw blinked his filmy slate eyes. he was surprised she had come back, even more so she was speaking to him. apologizing and wishing him luck. but... "you shouldn't apologize. not after what i said," he mewed quietly, before turning his head away from hers. "and i don't deserve the comments. there is something you should- wait, eveningpaw-" but she was gone. again. batpaw just sighed softly. he didn't understand why he couldn't grasp anyone that much anymore. regardless, even if he wasn't sure what to do, he could pretend he did. standing up and stretching, the petite tom exited the den and slowly padded into the forest. i'll collect herbs i guess... if i run away and leave the clan, i'm leaving my family behind. i can't do that- that would only make things worse, and make me a worthless kittypet- no better than the things i said about eveningpaw. eveningpaw... i hope she comes back.

cherrytail tilted her head, a small frown crossing her maw. nightpaw seemed really depressed. "what about them?" the warrior molly asked in an unusually soft voice, angling her gaze towards the sky.

Nightpaw
Nightpaw shrugged. "I don't know what to do with them. I really like them both and Batpaw likes me too. But I think that... I might like Thunderpaw even more..." she mewed quietly, not wanting to discuss about it.

eveningpaw ran quickly, her limber body was like a blur in the forest. she leaped over a fallen tree, thinking to herself. whenever she was upset, she ran. she ran and ran and ran and ran. ever since she was a kitten, how she ended up in the clan anyways. as she sprinted through the woods, she picked up scents of familiar cats, but ignored them. she needed to clear her mind. finally, she slowed down, panting softly, and brought herself to a gentle trot. when she regained her stamina, she sprinted more. she just needed to think, and she couldn't. eveningpaw finally found a small hollow after about an hour of searching, and sat down, then curled up into a ball and fell asleep.

persephone caught movement, and was quick to leap into the air, pouncing onto a vole. she held it in her claws and bit down on it's neck, it fell limp shortly after. she picked up its body and dropped it infront of firefly, grinning.
