"The medicine cat thinks I should be her apprentice if this doesn't heal soon." she said grimly as a tear slipped from her eye. she looked at acornpaw then quickly to the ground. I always mess up and make cats upset and cry. She thought as she looked at moonpaw who had a few tears as well as acornpaw. "Hmm..." Acornpaw thought, settling down beside Mistypaw. "You don't HAVE to be a medicine cat apprentice. Remember the stories of Brightheart? And Briarlight?" He asked, smiling. "Briarlight helped the medicine cat but never became one herself. She could still get a mate and kits."

( well thank for having me then xD hope it's okay that i make the medicine cat? )
Thrushpaw sat near the apprentice den, his spotted tabby tail twitching impatiently in the grass. He didn't know where his mentor disappeared to. Shouldn't they be out hunting or battle training right now? He was an older apprentice, nearing the age of becoming a warrior.
Palefoot was laying in a patch of sunlight, stretched out on the grass with her eyes half closed. She was enjoying a little rest but she hadn't been out hunting or on patrol at all. She should probably go do something before she got told off... Her yellow eyes fluttered then closed, giving a contented sigh.

Mistypaw's tail lashed out in frustration. They just don't get it! my leg will never heal and briarlight's back legs were paralyzed and brightheart was only missing half a face. "My leg will never completely heal, Acornpaw! brightheart became a warrior and briarlight's back legs were paralyzed so she had an excuse! A similar thing happened to cinderpelt and she had to become a medicine cat! So... do ...I." she said grimly. But... I will never give up on becoming a warrior! she thought, boosting her confidence.

[ yes we do need one c': ]
Sandypaw padded out of the apprentices den, his fur sleek and smooth after a washing. Yawning, he padded to the fresh kill pile to get something to eat.
Acornpaw shook his head. "You always have a choice. In the stories I heard it was Cinderpelt's choice to become a medicine cat." He meowed, resting his tail on Mistypaw's shoulders. "I'm sure it'll heal."

Nettlewing trotted across camp, ducking into the medicine cat den. In his jaws he carried two mice, one for himself and one for his patient. He stopped, surprised at the sight of the two apprentices, hesitating before he continued over to them. He dropped the prey beside Mistypaw's nest. "Hey! We have visitors." He purred warmly at Acornpaw and Moonpaw, unaware of the tense atmosphere. "I brought you some prey." he turned his attention to Mistypaw, nudging the creature closer.

Mistypaw growled at acornpaw. "Sister please leave." Moonpaw potrayed hurt but left. "Acornpaw, I know how much you want me to heal but IT WON'T HAPPEN!" mistypaw snarled, then purred "You just have to face it acornpaw. we will never fight beside eachother or even share the same den. my place is now here. YOU will become a warrior, not me." She said sadly, letting all her feelings spill out of her mouth.

Acornpaw's eyes drifted to the medicine cat who just entered the den. "If... If she doesn't heal what will happen?" He asked, pain laced into his voice.

She looked at him and at the mouse and felt sick with her feelings. "Ummm... thanks... i'm not that hungry but i'll save it for later."

"Acornpaw...," she said sadly, "unless I heal-" she stopped talking. The lump in her throat was to big. "i will heal , acornpaw." she reassured him and hoped it was true.

Surprised at the question, Nettlewing looked between the apprentices, feeling awkward. "Oh..." he was probably intruding and making a sad situation even worse. "Well she will probably heal over time, might be left with a limp or her leg being a little crooked..." he answered Acornpaw's question. "If she practices and gets used to it, she might be able to become a warrior. Unless it's too hard on her or if she chooses to become a medicine cat."

Acornpaw dipped his head, satisfied with the medicine cat's answer. "Thank you Nettlewing."

"I WILL become a warrior!" Mistypaw corrected nettlewing. "I will have my own family! not just medicine cats!" She growled, tired.

Nettlewing dipped his head. "I'm sure you will..." he answered, hoping that the apprentices were satisfied and calmed down now. He'd been the one to suggest the life of a medicine cat to Mistypaw in the first place, he hoped she wasn't upset with him. He was still a young cat, only finished his training a couple months ago, and his mentor, the former medicine cat, recently passed away. He got lonely in the den by himself. Little pawsteps caught his attention and he turned to look at Sootkit. "Aw." A purr rumbled in his throat as he crouched beside the kit. "Do you want me to show you some herbs?"

Acornpaw smiled to Mistypaw. "Do you ever want kits?" He asked, genuinely curious. Acornpaw tended to ask cats questions like this to get a general idea of what they wanted in life.

One ear twitched, angling in the direction of the two apprentices, but Nettlewing told himself he shouldn't listen in on their conversation. "Okay!" he purred at the kit, turning and showing him the way. "This is where I keep them." he meowed, looking down at Sootkit. "Some cats don't like the smell, but i find the scents comforting." Sitting down, he sat down and used his paw to pull a pile of herbs out in front of them. "This is marigold. When cats get hurt it helps keep their wounds clean and helps them heal faster. And this is borage, you might recognize it. I bring it to the nursery fro the queens sometimes. It helps them feed the kits."

"I would like kits someday." she told acornpaw and secretly hoped the kits would be his.

Acornpaw smiled. "Me too. I already love playing with the kits." He purred, thinking of his favorite, Icekit. "Icekit is a good friend of mine." He added, his eyes shining.

"I love kits too!" She added, blushing. Why won't he get a hint?! She thought. "I'd love to have kits w-" The she suddenly realized she was speaking. I'm so stupid! she thought, oh well.

"Hm?" Acornpaw caught the apprentice's stuttering. "What were you going to say?"

"I was uhh saying that umm I would-" She blushed should I tell him the truth? No. he definantly doesn't fell the same way. She thought lightbulb! "I would love to have kits when I become a warrior." Ugh! that was not a good cover up she told herself.

Acornpaw's eyes narrowed in disbelief. "You can tell me the truth." He meowed, laying his tail on her back.

"I don't think I can, acornpaw..." She blushed. "What did you think I was going to say?" I'm so stupid! Why did I do that?!?! She thought, her heart quickening and her breathing visibly getting faster as she plastered on a fake smile.

"Well maybe it's about a tom you like?" Acornpaw paused thoughtfully. "A lot of she-cats hide their crushes."

Her eyes widened and pupils shrank to the size of her claw tip."Maybe!" She laughed nervouslyand blushed. "Maybe you thought it was a specific tom" She told him, staring into his eyes caught in his cute gaze. "Who?"

"Well... I'm not sure about which tom." He laughed, smiling kindly down at the she-cat. I hope it's me... but i Know it's not.

"Ahhh I see." Her grin spread mischievously. "Are you sure because I'm sure he's pretty close." Did I really just say that out loud?! I hope he doen't think it's him... that'd be so embarrassing because I KNOW he has a crush on some other she cat. I'm almost certain of it! She thought anxiously.

Acornpaw pondered his latest hint and shrugged. "What do you mean by close?"

"I mean ummm..." I don't think I can cover this up! "I don't really think you want to know, acornpaw." She told him anxiously. if only he knew and felt the way I love him... she though as a tear almost slipped from her eye as she thought of him liking another she cat.
