~My Day With The Elders~

[Nettleflight]

LEAVE NO STONE UNTURNED, LEAVE YOUR FEARS BEHIND
and try to take the path less travled by

Nettlepaw rolled around in her mossy nest, another boring day without training. Oh well. She let out a sigh and got to her paws, streaching her twisted paw. "I've never been to the elders den..." she mewed, talking to herself as she padded over to the fresh-kill pile. The young brown and white grabbed a small mouse, finishing it in a few bites. Nettlepaw grabbed a young squirrel from the pile and set it down by the elders den, comming back over then she got mouse bile and fresh moss from the medicine cats den. Her claws were hooked onto the end of the leaf holding the mouse bile, the moss and squirrel in her jaws. "Gentleheart?" Nettlepaw mewed through a mouthfull of fur and moss. "I-I brought you some prey. And some moss!"

Shrewbreaker stirred in his nest and lifted his head up, opening his green eyes. He glared over at the apprentice, angry that she woke him up and she brought things for only Gentleheart.

"Gentleheart isn't the only elder, mouse-brain! Afterlife and I are here too!" Shrewbreaker snapped, his back fur bristling. He was slowly turning into his old, grumpy father, Solarshine, and didn't realize it at all.

Nettlepaw blushed in emberressment, padding over to the old tom. "I'm sorry. I-I..." she trailed off, not knowing what to say and instead dipping her head in respect. "I appologise for my rudeness. Here, you have the squirrel, its rather juicy. Oh, and I came to change the moss and, and-" she stammered. Nettlepaw usually got ahead of herself, something she needed to work on. "I also came to check you for ticks." Pushing the squirrel towards the elder, she dipped her head again. "I'm Nettlepaw. It's nice too meet you, Shrewbreaker." Just don't claw my ears off!

[Shrewbreaker]

Shrewbreaker wrapped his striped tail around his paws. This apprentice didn't seem very disrespectful, which was good. A purr suddenly rose in his throat. "Heh. You remind me of my sister."

He stuck out one if his hind legs and sighed. "There's one on my leg. Remember to use mouse-bile. The last thing I want is a hole in my leg because you tried to rip it off carelessly."

Nettlepaw smiled and padded over to Shrewbreaker, the mouse-bile in a leaf hooked on her claws. Setting the leaf down, she parted his fur with her claws, spotting the blood-sucking creature. Grabbing some mouse bile, she placed some of it on the insect, watching it fall off. Making sure it was dead, she crunched it between her claws, a little bit of blood now on her claw. I'll was my paws off later. "So, I'm like your sister, am I? Who is your sister? Oh, and do you have anymore ticks? I can look if you don't know."

[Shrewbreaker]

Shrewbreaker's eye twitched as he watched the tick-killing process. He didn't remember it being that gross. And the poor apprentice had blood all over her paws. Gross. Shrew teakettle nodded and rolled over all the way on his belly, then sprawled his legs out in a way that Nettlepaw could see them all.

"Sure. Check me. I'd rather not have another one of those stupid blood-suckers on me for another moon."

Thoughts of his sister, Nightdust, zoomed through his mind. "Yes, you do remind me of her. Her name is Nightdust. You two don't look alike..but you act the same way."

Nettlepaw nodded and padded back over to him, finding a rather large one on his flank. Repeating the procedure, she quickly killed it and moved onto the next. "So, I act like her, do I?" she asked, killing another instantly, flinching as this one popped instead of squishing. She jumped back and hissed in shock before padding back over to Shrewbreaker. "Sorry..." the apprentice mewed, finding no more. "I think your done, thank CloudClan!" Nettlepaw laughedgoing to lay down infront of the elder. "I've never met her... is Nightdust still alive? If so, can I meet her?"

Foxkit came running in the den. When he saw an apprentice he stopped. "Hi! I'm Foxkit! And I'm going to be the best warrior ever!!! Believe it!!!"
