Cat Name: Heatherheart

Gender: Female
Rank: Warrior
Age: 32 Moons
Clan: CreekClan

Prompt:
Clouds were settled high in the evening sky, threatening to spill rain as thunder boomed from a distance away. CreekClan warriors were beginning to finish their daily duties so they could come into camp before the rain started. It was a summer day so the rain who cool them off until it stopped and the humidity rose again. Then they would be in trouble.

Heatherheart, one of CreekClan's warriors, was sitting outside of the warrior's den, watching the camp entrance with wide, expectant eyes. She was waiting for someone specific. She needed to tell them something very important. Hope was glittering in her eyes and her paws were kneading at the ground in excitement. Little did she know these next few moments would not work in her favor.

Heatherheart was a fairly new she-cat in CreekClan. She had come about two moons ago searching for a better life and had joined CreekClan with that idea in mind. She passed the trials and made friends quickly, sparking a flame that was her popularity. Many cats loved her. However, she didn't share the feelings for many other cats.

Beetlefall was an exception. The black warrior had something about him that was so different compared to others. He was so welcoming and calm and loving, it filled her heart with a warm feeling every time she got to see his smile. It felt even better when she was the cause of this look. It made her feel better about herself and like she was loved by someone other than her clanmates. It was special.

Her eyes glowed up when she spotted the black tom, pushing his way into camp with a rabbit dragging behind him. 'He's such a talented hunter,' she thought, tail curling as she trotted over to him, giving his cheek a friendly lick.

"Hello, Bettlefall. How was the hunt?" Heatherheart asked, tail twitching back and forth in anticipation. How was she going to ask him?

"It went pretty well, Summer is bringing us a good amount of animals to stock the prey pile. How are things around here? Any news?"

"Nothing much has happened here, same old gossip." She admitted, giving a casual shrug as she escorted the male to the prey pile, watching him drop his rabbit. "I had a question Beetlefall."

"Sure, what's up?" He asked, looking up to her after grabbing a mouse and leading her to the shade where they could talk in private. She froze, trying to decide the best wording of her question while he started to eat his mouse.

"Well, you see, I really like you Beetlefall. I liked you ever since I joined CreekClan. You were, and are, so different from everyone else and it fills me with such joy to be around you. You're my best friend. I was wondering if you wanted to be more..." She trailed off, shifting her gaze away from him for a second, taking a deep breath before meeting his gaze again with determination and love clear in her eyes. "I was wondering if you wanted to be my mate."

She paused, waiting for his answer, her heart pounding in her chest and it felt like it broke when she was the awkward expression it held.

"I'm sorry Heatherheart. I really like you, trust me I do, but I can't be your mate. I love somebody else."

Heatherheart watched as the tom got to his paws, the rain starting above them, and padded into the warrior's den. She felt like her heart was just crushed into a million tiny shards, each cutting at her skin and leaving her sore, sad, and alone.

Love was the one game she always lost.

Cat Name: Autumnwind

Gender: Transgender Tom
Rank: Warrior
Age: 20 Moons
Clan: SequoiaClan

Prompt:
Autumnpaw felt queasy as he watched Blazepaw leap up the rocks on the side of the camp, Towheepaw and Pinepaw watching excitedly as the tom made his way up the side. A loud gasp erupted as he reached the highest point, or at least, higher than the other two had been. Towheepaw screeched excitedly, Pinepaw leaping in place as Blazepaw stood triumphantly on the side of the wall.

"And voila, that's how it's done, next!" The orange-furred tabby called, leaping down. The Unclimbable Wall, as it was called, was a classic game played by apprentices The goal is simple: Climb as high as you can on the sturdy ruins that surround the camp. Your turn ends when you either can't go on or you give up and turn tail. SequoiaClan cats don't turn away from climbing, something that is as natural as breathing. It's a specialty. It's how they made their name. It's something Autumnpaw can't bring himself to do.

Having a fear of heights in a clan whose name is built around their climbing techniques is rather difficult, but Autumnpaw figured he could avoid it. Apparently, that was impossible, something he figured out as soon as he became an apprentice and Blazepaw challenged him to a round, the other apprentices clamoring excitedly to join in. Curious, Autumnpaw agreed, immediately regretting it when the tom explained the rules and went first.

Needless to say, Autumnpaw went up one level, stomach in his throat as he teetered on the edge, laughing nervously as he leaped down into the encouraging yowls of his clanmates.

For a time, he avoided the game, but Blazepaw was insistent (he was quite good at the game, and even Silverpaw would join in, presenting the older tom's only challenge) and eventually, Autumnpaw couldn't avoid his fellow apprentices. They coerced him into the game, and every time, he lost, leaping only to the second level, occasionally getting one level higher, but nonetheless, losing.

Which brings us to the present, where Autumnpaw makes his way towards the wall used for the game.

He gulped, and readied himself for the leap.

He leapt.

He leapt again.

He leapt once more, took one glance down, and his head spun, gut twisted and curling. He felt sick, and immediately jumped down, much to the disappointment of his clanmates, but much to the relief of himself.

"Let's play something else." Autumnpaw mumbled, shaking lightly, and breathing in relief from touching the ground.

"Awww, but you were so close to beating your personal record!" Blazepaw said, and the other apprentices nodded.

"M-my what?" Autumnpaw asked surprised.

"Your personal record! You've only ever gotten to the third paw-hold, but you always improve you leaps every time we play!" Blazepaw explained.

"But I always lose; I can barely climb a tree, much less the wall." Autumnpaw asked, confused.

"So? You're improving, yeah? That's what being an apprentice is all about! Doesn't matter if you win or lose, have you seen your leaping form? It's pretty killer now." Silverpaw said, Autumnpaw purred from the praise.

"R-really?" He asked.

"Definitely." The others responded.

And for once in Autumnpaw's life, he felt that maybe losing wasn't always so bad.

Cat Name: Dawnshroud

Gender: She-cat
Rank: Warrior
Age: 57 moons
Clan: Echoclan

Prompt:
Dawnshroud blinked as Smallpaw, Wolfpaw, Rainpaw and Quietpaw were all playing near her, she yelped in surprise as she got batted with a moss ball. She blinked a bit and looked over at it, the apprentices ran up to her, "Wanna play?" Smallpaw asked excitedly, "Me?" Dawnshroud asked, "Yea! Our mentors are all busy right now so it's time to practice hunting and stalking!" Smallpaw said, "Plus the exercise is good for us." Rainpaw added, Quietpaw nodded sheepishly staying near Wolfpaw. Dawnshroud pinned her ears back, "I'm not very good at this game..." She admitted softly, "Nonsense, you just need to bat the ball, it's super easy like stalking prey!" Smallpaw insisted.

Dawnshroud sighed, "Fine." She said and blinked as the apprentices scattered, "Pass it to me!" Smallpaw yowled, "No me!" Rainpaw said, "Mhmm." Wolfpaw shrugged and waited patiently, Quietpaw waited softly for her to react. "Alright." Dawnshroud said, before she started at it and whacked it a little, it hardly went anywhere. "That was great! Now put all your power into the strike!" Smallpaw said, Dawnshroud perked her ears, "Very well!" She said determined to show off her warrior prowess, she revved up her strike pulling her paw back before she batted towards the ball using all of her effort. However she missed the ball and stood there shocked unable to move as she froze in place, she must have looked ridiculous!!

Smallpaw laughed softly when she did, Rainpaw tried his best not to laugh, Wolfpaw turned around to avoid laughing, and Quietpaw blinked surprised by Dawnshroud's inability to hit the mossball. Dawnshroud turned around, "S-See I'm not good..." She mumbled curling her tail around herself. Quietpaw moved to her and sat down beside her putting her paw on her gently. Dawnshroud looked down at the apprentice softly. "... I suppose I can try again..." She said after a moment of silent staring between the two of them. Quietpaw smiled sheepishly before heading back to her spot.

"Just take it slow." Smallpaw encouraged softly, "We all make mistakes and it's fun to be able to laugh at them... I am sorry if I hurt your feelings." He said. "me too." Rainpaw said dipping his head. Wolfpaw nodded his head lightly. Quietpaw smiled at her gently. Dawnshroud gently smiled and nodded her head, "Alright..." She said and smiled softly looking down at them, "You are forgiven." She said with a soft tone, she watched them play softly before she jumped her eyes widened in surprise as Wolfpaw passed the mossball back at her, she tried to react to swat it back but it ended up hitting her right in the forehead, she yelped and fell over falling over her paws and landing on her back.

She let out a breath upon hearing the apprentices giggle again at her utter failure to catch or hit the ball back. She sat up slowly letting her ears droop before she smiled sheepishly, Smallpaw laughed softly and smiled, "I'll admit, I've never seen someone play this game the way you do, but I guess not everyone can be perfect at everything, here we thought there wasn't anything you couldn't do." He said. Dawnshroud blinked and mused, "W-Well now you know my little secret, please don't tell anyone..." She said glancing around camp to ensure no one else saw her horrible mistakes.

"Promise." Smallpaw smiled, "Of course, you do have a reputation to keep up." Rainpaw smiled softly, Wolfpaw nodded, "We won't tell..." He said, Quietpaw smiled and nodded her head softly flicking her tail. Dawnshroud smiled, "Well alright as long as you promise not to tell... I'll supervise for now, how about that?" She asked. They apprentices nodded and went to play happily, Dawnshroud blushed furiously and let out a sigh, mossball was probably the easiest game in the world, but she would always fail to play it. It was the one game she couldn't do and she was ashamed to admit it.
