S-Snake?! {p--Crowwing}

[Nightpaw]

"AAAAWWHG!!"

His paws flung out, wrestling the snake away, the speckled apprentice freaking out as the scaled creature slithered around and desperately tried to bite him-- or escape, Nightpaw couldn't really decide at the moment. The TreeClanner leaped up, bouncing around in circles as the adder twisted and turned with it's fangs bared-- and great unexisting CloudClan, he was bloody terrified.

"Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!" he kept chanting, willing the snake not to actually get a bite him. Nightpaw knew it wasn't a smart idea to grab that snake tail and whip the creature out of it's hiding place... b-but in his defense, he wanted to know what an adder looked like so he could avoid them!

Finally, the adder turned and shot out towards the rocks again, slipping into a crevice and out of sight. On tremblimg paws, Nightpaw stared at it's hidden location in horror. And when a small nose poked out to see if the danger was going to bother him again, the apprentice bolted towards the treeline.

"Oh-- jeez, rocks, snakes--!" he was ramblimg, stopping a safe distance away to pace in his panicked state. "CloudClan-- snakes-- adders-- bite-- death-- run-- aaaAAAAH I ALMOST DIED!!"

The tomcat froze up when he noticed a figure nearby, probably having watched the whole thing. He whimpered, shrinking away from the older cat, unknown to who they were, and embarrassed from the scene he had just witnessed.

"U-uh... uh... U-UHM!" Nightpaw squeaked.




{ ...n-no idea for this, hehe... Crowwing

[Crowwing]

aww man, I wrote a response and then my wifi shut off once i pressed "create post," so I tried remembering what I wrote, but it's not as powerful as the original ):

Crowwing was walking around the sun stone region, minding his own business; that was, until he heard a horrendous scream in the air. Although he was old, blind in an eye, and more, he was still alert and quick. The senior ran towards the sounds, only to find a cat running around like a maniac. Why though? The tom scanned the scene, then spotting the adder.

He held his breath, knowing that snakes tracked their prey through movement. And with the stranger running around, that did not help it in its favor. But it was day too, so that meant the predator must have been starving. Thankfully, the stranger managed to get out alive, bit? He did not know.

"What in Cloudclan's name were you doing out there? And out in the territory by yourself? Where's your clanmates? Doesn't Treeclan teach their apprentices to have supervision while being out?" Crowwing was furious and looked concerned.

[Nightpaw]

ahh i hate when that happens >_<


With the flurry the questions, and the initial panic from nearly being bitten by a venomous snake, Nightpaw could barely comprehend what was being asked of him. He mulled the words in his head, Nightpaw's chest rising and falling very rapidly as his heartbeat began to slow down. "I-- s-stroll." He was quiet, holding his lips together awkwardly. "U-uh, walk! Take-- walks... by... self...."

He had absolutely no idea who this tomcat was, and it was freaking him out even more because of it. Not to mention the heavy scent of FireClan on his fur.

"The... the snake...." Now realizing it, had it even been an adder? For all Nightpaw knew, it could have very well of been just a regular reptile with no venom fangs at all. "It... I-I didn't... see... it...."

Actually, he had. And you know that moment where you do something incredibly dumb just out of instinct, without any thought process as to why? Well, that moment struck the awkward Nightpaw. So he could reach out and pull the snake out of hiding by his own front teeth no less

[Crowwing]

Crowwing shook his head at the apprentice's responses to him. That still did not give a good reason as to why he was out here all on his own. What if Crowwing didn't show up? What if the apprentice got bit?

"You're lucky that you got out alive," he commented. The senior then walked a bit away from the apprentice, back up towards the trees leading to Treeclan. "Come. You can trust me. I used to be a medicine cat, but did you by any chance get bit?"

[Nightpaw]

Oh yes, he was extremely lucky indeed to be alive right now.

'...That had been an adder, right?' Nightpaw was half tempted to to run back and check. How could he live with that mystery tagged to his chest for the rest of his life? Was it a normal snake or a venomous creature? Was it a near death experience, or an apprentice overreacting over a harmless situation? He would never know.

'A medicine cat!' His eyes widened at that. 'What old cat was the former medicine cat of FireClan?' Nightpaw could of sworn he knew... he knew everything. And this was a pretty important thing to remember.

"A-ah, no." he stuttered as they walked. He didn't feel like he was bitten anywhere. Nothing hurt.... "I'm okay... I think. Yeah, y-yeah... just... fine...."

He blinked. "Are you... C-Crowwing?" He hesitated on the name.
