[Riah] Assessing Blackpaw

[кєηzι]

<sub>Sagefoot awoke, blinking her eyes quickly to get them used to the light of the day that was pouring through the entrance to the warriors den. Today was the day her apprentice would be assessed. The brown and white tabby she-cat stood up and shook pieces of moss from her fur and then sat down to give herself a quick clean before going to get Blackpaw. The second she realized she was doing it to look good infront of Blackpaw, she stopped and padded out of the den, still looking beautiful as always.

The young warriors reached the apprentice den and peeked in. Seeing Blackpaw, curled up in a ball on his nice soft nest made Sagefoot smile... She couldn't help it, he looked so peaceful. Yet, she had to ruin it. The she-cat stepped over to him and nudged him with her nose. "Blackpaw? It's time for your assessment." She mewed softly, her voice silky sweet.</sub>

((ooc: Sagefoot? I thought his mentor was Snakebite...? lmfao))

Blackpaw saw the images. They weren't clear, but he could make out the shape of a kit. It mewed at him, but he couldn't get close to it. It was like he was stuck in mud; he couldn't move. The kit was hidden in a shadow of smoke, only his outline was visible. Blackpaw blinked his eyes rapidly, his heart racing. He had to get out of here. This wasn't right. He can't be mine.. The apprentice stared at the kit, hoping the image would go away soon. The kit mewed more, making Blackpaw's heart sink. Then, just for a few seconds, Blackpaw could make out the kit's eyes. One was blue, and the other was brown.

"Blackpaw? It's time for your assessment."
The black, brown, and white tom sprung up from his nest, breathing heavily. He looked up to see a cat that was familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time. Then the words processed in the tom's mind. "Assessment?" He mewed, trying to catch his breath. "I don't need more training?" He asked, and cocked his head to the side. He wondered why Snakebite wasn't giving him the assessment. Bitter thoughts clouded the apprentice's mind. No! She's nothing.

[ooc;; She is... Woops. xD]

_{Sagefoot nodded, "Snakebite thinks you're ready. Now go meet her by the river. She'll be waiting for you there." The cat instructed with a slow nod. "Now get moving." She mewed before padding away.}

[riah]

Blackpaw hissed at the older warrior as she turned to leave. I wanted to sleep more... Ignoring the thoughts of his dream, the apprentice padded out of the den, and headed for the river. He didn't bother grabbing a piece of prey. I'll survive. Finally, the tom arrived at the river and looked around for Snakebite. I better be made a warrior shortly after this.. "This is not worth waking up so early for.." He muttered under his breath to himself as he looked around for Snakebite.

_{Snakebite perked her ears and jumped down from an old oak tree, landing next to him. "What was that Blackpaw?" She asked with a smirk and rolled her eyes. "Honestly, do you even care about being a warrior? Or is sex your only want." She asked, her bright green eyes suddenly getting dark after she realized what had just poured out of her mouth.}

[riah]

"What was that Blackpaw?"

Blackpaw's fur stood on end. That voice still gave him chills. He had no idea what Snakebite was capable of, even if she was harmless. But she was the only cat besides Dawnflight that knew about their kit. There was a possibility she could tell someone else. I can't let that happen.

"Honestly, do you even care about being a warrior? Or is sex your only want."

The tom looked at his mentor with narrowed eyes. "Of course not." He said simply, trying his hardest not to yell. "Now can we continue on with this and not talk about....you know." He said, too embarrassed to speak the word with his mentor. He looked up at her, waiting to see what she would do to assess him.

[кєηzι]

_{Snakebite nodded. "Fine then, the first part of your assessment will be hunting. Now, go find as much prey as you can before sunhigh and bring it back here. Oh, and don't do anything stupid, because I'll be watching you." She told him and the mewed. "You may begin."}

[riah]

Blackpaw nodded to his mentor, and stalked into forest. He hated hunting. It took so much effort, but he did like how quiet it was. Flicking his ears, he tried to scent for a squirrel or something like that. Then he spotted it. Only a few feet away was the fattest mouse he had ever seen. Thank starclan. Hiding behind some grass, he watched it, and then took a few steps forward, and then jumped, tackling it easily. Then, to finish it off, bit its neck. He layed the mouse in front of him with a big smile. One down..More to go. With that he buried the mouse, deciding to come back for it later, and then went to find more.

-Time Skip-

Blackpaw padded to the place where Snakebite told him to meet her and dropped the rest of his prey. He had quite a lot, for him anyway. He smiled. Never knew I'd be so lucky. He looked around for Snakebite to see what she would say.

((ooc: shitty post. sorry. lazy. x.x))

_{Snakebite was waiting for Blackpaw when he arrived. She looked at the prey he'd set down, fair enough he'd caught everything Snakebite had scented in the forest as well when she'd been watching him. He did seem to be trying, and that made Snakebite happy. "Well done Blackpaw." She praised, then started digging a hole to bury the prey in. When she'd buried it all she nodded. "Now, it's time for your battle assessment." She lowered her body to the ground and flicked her tail, singalling for him to attack.}

[riah]

"Well done Blackpaw."

Blackpaw smiled up at her, but not in the flirty way. Like, the hidden kitten inside of him way. If that made any sense. It was a true smile he hadn't used in awhile. But he was really happy that she had praised him, because she hadn't done that in awhile. Heh. I wonder why. Dumbass.

"Now, it's time for your battle assessment."

The tom's heart raced. He hated battle training with his mentor. She always seemed to beat him, and it annoyed him. It was also when they had sex before.. But he tried to ignore that thought. As she lowered her body, he thought about what he could do. Deciding to be cautious, he braced himself and walked in circles around her waiting for a good opening to attack. Or, if she decided to attack him first, he would be ready.
