Mountainpaw pounced, but Doepaw anticipated it and skidded under his underbelly. She slashed his underbelly That would've been effective if my claws were unsheathed she thought. Her second of lacking awareness costed her when Mountainpaw pounced again and landed straight on her.
"I think we have a winner!" Announced Goldenspring.
"That was a good move there Doepaw, but you can't let yourself off guard for even a second in a battle." Said Addertail. I can't believe I'm getting praised by the deputy of Shadowclan thought Doepaw.
.
When they got back to camp Doepaw was exhausted from battle training all day. She went over to Cherrypaw to share tounges and prey.
"How was battle training?" Asked Cherrypaw.
"It was good. I got to scrimmage with Mountainpaw." Replied Doepaw. While Doepaw was eating with Cherrypaw she admired her beautiful black pelt with her one red paw. Doepaw couldn't help but wonder how Fluffpaw was so energetic and Cherrypaw was so gentle even though they were littermates.
"Do you think Marshkit is watching over us in Starclan?" Asked Cherrypaw. Doepaw was to shocked that Cherrypaw would mention their dead littermate that she couldn't find the words to escape her mouth.
"O-Of-Of course he his" was all Doepaw could say.
Doepaw started thinking about her adopted littermate when Cherrypaw said his name. She could still smell his sweet scent, and see his Tortoiseshell pelt running around with them in the nursery.
"Be calm you four!" Magpiecall would always say. That always made them be more loud and crazy. Marshkit was a mix between his brother and sister. He was the perfect balance between energy and calmness. When ever he was in a den it always seemed a little brighter. Then he died. He came down with a severe case of Redcough. Everyone in the Clan was devastated. Doepaw didn't leave the nursery for five sunrises because of it.
     Doepaw was walking to the Apprentice den when she stepped on a rock and twisted her paw.
     "OWW!" She screamed. Cherrypaw and Mountainpaw helped her to the Medicine Cat Den where Frogleap was waiting.
     Mountainpaw and Cherrypaw left to give Doepaw some space.
     "What happened here?" Asked Frogleap his white and gray tabby pelt shining from the hole in the Den Roof.
     "I stepped on a rock and twisted my paw."
     "It looks pretty bad you need to rest tomorrow so no Apprentice duties," he said "So while you're waiting wanna here a story?" His icy blue gaze staring at her.
