one x one with tauriel.

[tauriel.]

(Thanks. What do they look like?)

Her mentor's voice distracted the tabby and the moment's distraction allowed Robinwing to pin her. Otterpaw's eyes widened, startled and thought back to her training. Her body relaxed as if she'd given up.

Kestrelflight jerked away from her, frowning. "What battle?" He demanded, his full attention immediately on the she-cat. "How do you know that there's going to be a battle?"

[`sappho]

[ bone is fully white and basstail is a tabby ]

robinwing smiled, thinking she had given up, he stopped tensing and flattened his pelt, not knowing that she would come back at him.

witheredtail smiled. "well there will be a battle between sunclan and an ancient clan from many moons past," she warned. "this clan will be more powerful then expected, and will reek havoc on you're clan if you don't learn to fight even more then you have," she said.

[`sappho]

[tauriel.]

(Thanks. )

The tom sat behind her, his amber(?) eyes glinting coldly at Mapleclaw. "Welcome back," He greeted her, his tone cool and calm.

Basstail perched in a tree above Tinyfang. He let the tom wander around, enjoying his fear before dropping down to the forest floor infront of him. His tabby fur lay flat, eyes flickering with friendliness. "Hello," He said, eyeing the tom curiously.

As soon as Robinwing relaxed, Otterpaw slipped out of his grip and slashed at his chest with her claws. Every once in a while, she'd glance towards Blood and Wrenpaw, trying to see if they approved of her fighting.

Kestrelflight narrowed his eyes, still doubtful. "How do you know about this "battle," He said scornfully, his tone clearly conveying his doubts. "This is only a dream, nothing that happens here is real."

[`sappho]

mapleclaw smiled and flicked her tail. "hello bone, what do you have planned for today?" she asked, narrowing her eyes.

tinyfang being frightened extended his claws. "what is this place? who are you?" he asked, looking around the forest. this place remedied him of his father.

cleareye walked up behind basstail. "remember, he is blood's son, we can't blow this," she whispered to her mate, or at least the tom who was her mate before she died.

blood smiled. "go for the kill," he growled loudly, seeing robinwing was pretty hurt already.

witheredtail sighed. "well since i was part of starclan we had gotten visions of a great battle, that was until the leader of starclan wrongly accused me and they chase me from starclan."

[tauriel.]

"Battle training." Bone replied. He would've preferred having his apprentice battle another cat so he could better watch for any weaknesses but Otterpaw was fighting Robinwing and the other two hadn't even started their training yet.

Basstail barely glanced at the she-cat beside him. He knew this and wasn't about to let Tinyfang go. "My name is Basstail," He said, ignoring the second question. "There's no need to be scared. No one here is going to hurt you." He assured Tinyfang, his voice soft and gentle.

Otterpaw hesitated, her eyes widening. Blood had trained her to kill but she'd never imagined actually having to do it. She stared at Robinwing indecisively. She'd woken up with wounds from the dark forest before, proof that this wasn't just a dream. If she killed him, he'd actually be dead. And it would be all her fault. The tabby glanced at Blood, half hoping he'd tell her to leave Robinwing alone.

Kestrelflight frowned. "Why would Starclan chase you out?" He asked. "I always thought Starclan had no leader. Aren't there more than one dead leader in starclan. Don't they work together?" He demanded, thinking of Autumnstar and Bramblestar.

[`sappho]

mapleclaw nodded. "alright, well let's do that then," she said with a smile, trying to be nice even though she really didn't want to be in the dark forest, training with the same cat who had been part of the clan to try and kill her own.

tinyfang was very on edge, someone about this cat made him uneasy. "what is the meaning of me being here?" he asked the cat, keeping his claws unsheathed.

blood eyed her again, swishing his tail impatiently. "i said got for the kill," he growled. he wasn't about to let her let robinwing go.

"well starclan isn't suppose to have a leader but autumnstar think she is owner of the world in itself," witheredtail said, frowning. "though i did nothing, autumnstar was a loner for quite a while and at that was her down fall, she was a mate with a loner and skystar was there only kit to survive, not even autumnstar survived," she said. "and at the time she would not drop the thought that i killed her mate, so she threw me out, she is a very bitter she-cat though i didn't do anything," she sighed.

[tauriel.]

"We'll practice a new move today." Bone told her. "When your in a battle, leap onto your opponents back, hold their head with your forepaws for support. Digging in your claws helps you to hang on and will injure them as well. Use your hindpaws to knock their hindlegs out from under them. It's an easy way to defeat your opponents." Bone explained.

Basstail padded a few paces backwards to allow the cat room to relax and sat down, his gaze locked on Tinyfang, dark and serious. "I've brought you here to warn you." Basstail said solemnly. "Sunclan is in danger and I've been chosen to help prepare you. If you let me." Basstail told him.

Otterpaw looked at Robinwing, her blue-grey eyes wide with anxiety. Blood didn't look as if he'd let them off the hook. Otterpaw raised her paw as if she was about to deliver the killing blow but once again hesitated. Otterpaw couldn't do this. It was murder. Robinwing had done nothing to warrant this. The tabby apprentice backed away, not daring to look at Blood and Wrenpaw. "I can't," She murmured, her shaking voice barely above a whisper.

"Oh," The tom stared at Witheredtail. "What actually happened to her mate if you didn't kill him?" He asked warily. Kestrelflight was starting to believe the she-cat but a few more questions wouldn't hurt.

[`sappho]

mapleclaw nodded, listening to what bone said. "alright, will we be doing this move ourselves?" she asked him.

"how would you know if sunclan is in danger? this is all just a dream anyways," tinyfang said. he was very strict with what he thought and no one could really change his mind.

blood angrily swished his tail. "otterpaw, do you know what this cat did?" he asked. "he mated with a loner and fathered kits that were destined to start a clan that would bring doom to sunclan, we are just getting rid of trash," he said, which was all not true.

witheredtail sighed. "he was killed by a twoleg's dog," she told the tom.

[tauriel.]

Bone nodded in response to her question. "Yes. Your turn to try the move." He told her.

Basstail flicked his ears, slightly impatient. "I know because I'm a starclan cat. This may be a dream but that doesn't mean it isn't real." The tabby replied.

"So did my father." Otterpaw responded. "My mother was a loner. Does that mean I'm going to bring doom to Sunclan?" She retorted. Lichenflower had told the tabby apprentice about Stormwhisker and her brother. "This cat never tried to kill anyone though. My father killed my brother." Otterpaw said angrily. "This cat hasn't done anything to deserve death.

"Twolegs should keep better track of their dogs," Kestrelflight hissed, his eyes flashing. Every cat knew how dangerous a big dog could be. The smaller ones were less trouble but still dangerous.
