Emberpaw looked around to see that Tawnystripe had chosen the swamp this time. Do we really have to be out here? There's nothing out here to do and plus it's a swamp. All nasty, dirty and most of all dirty water. he said. He hated the swamp.It was just not for him and the smells that were their were pretty bad. As he was following behind his mentor, he stepped in a puddle and stopped. This is nasty as ever. he said shaking his paw towards Tawnystripe. Hmph, she how you like it he thought. Looking at his mentor he thought for a second. I know she is my mentor, but she is kinda cute with swamp mud drops on her he thought and almost laughed. He couldn't help himself that he was like that. He had only been her apprentice for a moon and so far he was going from being bad to good. It was like he was going under a spell slowly for love.

[/b] It was spoken in a tone of voice that suggested her inner thoughts were, 'Just how frog-brained are you?'

She shook her head with a scoff, silently deciding to not even bother. "We live in a swamp, kit. You're going to get messy every time you step out of camp. Don't like it, either join another Clan or go become a kittypet. Until then, stop complaining or it's elder duties for the rest of the moon."[/blockquote][/ul][/size]

The look on Emberpaw's face was that he was shocked to hear how Tawnystripe was being mean a bit. Well I'm sorry, just thought it would... he said trying to think of what to say. start the day off to a good start. he said finally. Then he thought for a good second. I know we live in a swamp and don't call me kit! He hissed. I am not and I was only trying to get your attention to see how you react and since I know, I will react different. Plus I will never join another clan, I was born and raised here even though my father was a crazy cat. Oh yeah I herd the stories about how he was and I will not turn out that way! He said. Looking at his mentor and then starting to walk past her. He stopped a couple feet ahead. Wait I don't know where I'm going, so why am I getting in front of you. He said letting her go by.

[/b] She swerved around him, taking the lead again, and her voice turned sharper to express her displeasure. "I'll call you what I want, kit Until you grow up and learn to live with the bad things life brings, I will continue to call you kit."

She stopped in the middle of the next track and turned to look at him. "We'll start here. What do you smell?" It was a generic question mentors usually asked their apprentices. She remembered getting sick of it when she was young and just making crap up. Silversplash got so annoyed with her. She hoped that Emberpaw would develop the kind of backbone she had.[/size][/ul][/blockquote]

Now Emberpaw was getting annoyed with her, it was like she was ripping his heart slowly, centimeter by centimeter. He wanted to hit her so hard in the head and drown her in the swamp. He wanted to do it so bad but what would he say to the leader? She tripped, fell and drowned? Or I ripped her throat out because she kept calling me kit and being mean to me? No he would simply get the boot and be a rogue or a loner. He didn't want that. Then when she said 'Kit', he claws were ready. He hated to be called that name. It bugged him badly. What do I smell besides the swamp. He said. He closed he eyes and took a deep breath I smell pine, a squirrel, and that's it. But I hear a frog in the distance. He said to Tawnystripe. He looked around to see that there was also a blackbird in the same tree that the squirrel was in too.
