Willowkit's Exploration (open)

[Willowpaw]

Willowkit looked at the bedraggled camp from where she lay on top of the nursery. She loved being in the warm sun all the time. Before, where she had live in nothing but darkness, she was always afraid. Now she was basking in the sunlight.
Willowkit looked down at herself, but instantly looked away. She didn't want to remember the scar the pack of dogs had given her. She didn't want to remember the many beatings she had received from her parents. She didn't want to remember. All she wanted was the future. Nothing but sun.
The orange kit looked over to the medicine cat's den. That's what she wanted to be when she got older. She didn't want anymore fighting. She wanted to heal. Willowkit wanted to help. Her deep blue eyes brimmed with love and curiosity, but shyness as well. Willowkit was incredibly sheepish around most cats. She sat atop the nursery and patiently awaited some action.

[Cloverpaw*]

Cloverpaw walked in camp, holding a small mouse in her jaws. She sighed as she placed down the scrawny mouse. Cloverpaw was definitely not the best hunter in Blazeclan. Not even close. She had hardly any training sessions, and when she did she was awful at them. Would she ever become a true warrior?

The young apprentice looked down at her paws, deciding to bask in some warm sunlight to clear her confusing thoughts. Her bright green eyes glanced around the clearing, looking for a comfortable spot to lay. Then, her gaze rested on the top of the nursery, which was a sturdy rock cave. Then again, all the dens in Blazeclan were caves, but there was a small kit for company up there.

Cloverpaw walked quietly to the nursery, then she gracefully leaped up beside the orange kit. "Hey!" she said, enthusiastically. "Can I sit up here?"

[Willowpaw]

Willowkit jumped at the she-cat's words. Willowkit had only recently joined the clans after growing up from being beaten by her parents- other cats and little noises often made her startle.
"Uh... s-sure..." Willowkit meowed weekly, sliding over to give the apprentice more space on top of the den.

[Cloverpaw*]

"Thanks." Cloverpaw said, laying down on the warm stone cave. The hot rock felt nice on her light cream pelt, especially after the hard session of hunting. All Blazeclan cats loved the sun, and spent a lot of their time basking on the top of their dens. They were quite the opposite of Nightclan cats, who preferred to hunt during the night, and would never bask in the sun.

Cloverpaw closed her eyes, listening to the sounds of the forest and the sound of cat's coming in and out of the camp entrance. Like everyday, warriors were busy hunting and patrolling. While the apprentices of Blazeclan cleaned out the moss out of dens, and listened to warrior's telling them what to do.

"So, do you know if you're going to be made an apprentice soon?" Cloverpaw asked, trying to make conversation. The orange kit seemed very calm compared to other kits, who were loud and adventurous.

[Willowpaw]

Willowkit felt her body shake weakly. This cat seemed rather strong compared to her.
"Um.... I-I hope so...." Willowkit answered the tabby she-cat. Her voice was rather week in fright. Come on! The kit scolded herself. This is your clan now! You have to be able to speak for yourself! Willowkit coward in the shadow of the apprentice.
"W-what about you? Are you going to be a w-w-warrior soon?" Willowkit asked. She looked up to the setting sun. The beauty of the setting sun. How lovely it was. How captivating, as well. And it preformed this ritual every day withoug a second thought...

[Cloverpaw*]

Cloverpaw tilted her head to the side, wondering why the kit was frightened. Perhaps she was afraid of Cloverpaw? Deciding it was best to not ask why she was scared, the apprentice answered the question.

"I don't know when I'll be a warrior." she answered, shrugging. "It will probably be a long, long time from now! I don't mind that much though, being an apprentice is fun! There's boring parts of it, though. Like cleaning out dens, and when warriors tell you what to do all the time, and when they think they''re better than you..."

Cloverpaw rambled on, talking about how apprentices worked in a clan, and their daily life. But, she had no idea that Willowkit was following a different path; the path of a medicine cat.

[Eaglewing]

(do you mind if I join if not pretend I never came?)

Eaglewing had finished her meal and heard cats talking near by. She walked over and heard Cloverpaw talk about how warriors act to Willowkit. She purred in a amusement, she had to agree with Cloverpaw, warriors could be so full of themselves sometimes. She came up to them and gave them a friendly smile, her bad mood had vanished replaced with a happy one. "You have a good point Cloverpaw, they do at like they're better than most. Specifically the ones who think they're so tough but when they step on a tiny thorn they whine about how badly it hurts when I help them out. Yet when they say it was only a thorn I don't feel pain." She said that with a deeper voice with her held up high to make fun of one of the warriors who did that. She laughed. "I hope you don't mind me joining you, I couldn't help but over hearing you two talk." She smiled at the two of them. Eaglewing looked at Willowkit, "How old are you Willowkit?"

[Willowpaw]

Willowkit jumped at a new voice. She whirrled around to see Eaglewing, who Willowkit knew to be the medicine cat, standing there. Willowkit had decided that she wanted to be a medicine cat when she became of age. She had a lot of respect for this she-cat because she, like Willowkit, had decided to avoid the path of war, instead choosing one of care and healing.
"I-I'm about 5 moons..." Willowkit answered. She looked up at the she-cat's kind face.

[Cloverpaw*]

"I'm gonna get a mouse." Cloverpaw meowed, backing away to let the two cats talk. "It feels like I haven't ate in moons!" she said, hopping off of the Nursery, and walking over to the full fresh-kill pile. Warriors must have been hunting, for it was quite full. There were different kinds of birds, a rabbit, and more importantly, lot's of mice! "Yum!" Cloverpaw exclaimed, picking up the juiciest and fattest mouse. It was freshly caught, and the young apprentice started eating it immediately.

[Eaglewing]

((Actually Willpower, Eaglewing had no choice but to become a med. cat after nearly dying, the clan didn't know she was going to survive a horrible accident. She was suppose to be a warrior.))

"You're almost ready to become an apprentice. Are you excited?" Eaglewing said with a friendly tone, how odd, her mood changed faster than normal today. She looked up and watched Cloverpaw leave. "Well I better go get some herbs I'm running low on some, better safe than sorry." She smiled hating that she had to leave Willowkit alone, "Would you like to help? I don't Tigerstar will mind."

[Willowpaw]

((Oh, how interesting!))

Willowkit brimmed with pleasure. "Sure! I'd love to!" She bounded after the medicine cat, who she'd hopefully fallow some day. This would mark a day in history for Willowkit. Her orange fur was practically glowing as she set off with Eaglewing.

((Sorry for the shortness, I'm having writer's block))

[Eaglewing]

((That's okay but mine might be short too is low on muse today. ))

Eaglewing smiled at the kit's excitement and led her to a place to look for herbs. "I'm glad you wanted to join me," She told Willowkit. "Okay, I'm a little low on cobwebs and Foxglove." She paused, "Do you know what Foxglove is good for?" She asked just to see, most cats don't help Eaglewing search for herbs, this might mean Willowkit wanted to be her apprentice. Well, it was always good if a warrior knew what some of the herbs were for, Foxglove comes in handy when a cat is bitten by rattlesnakes and other problems. Rattlesnakes seemed to be common in the longer grass. A deadly surprise they are.
