"Come on Shatteredpaw, don't lag behind." Oaktooth said, his muscular figure ducking under a low hanging branch. He was in a particularly stormy mood, confused and slightly upset about Thicketstar's decision to uproot ThunderClan from the forest entirely. Wasn't chasing them out enough?
ThunderClan couldn't be destroyed entirely could they? With half-clan cats making up a large majority of the cats anyway, ThunderCLan couldn't be destroyed. But Thicketstar was powerful and Oaktooth was sure he had his ways.
Unknowingly, he had been walking quickly and was far ahead of his apprentice. They were almost near the two-leg place. He knew catmint grew there. He halted, waiting for his apprentice to catch up. He was worried about the she-cat.
"Shatteredpaw, are you okay?" He asked his eyes softening while gazing at the she-cat. |

Shatteredpaw didn't hear her mentor the first time when he told her to hurry up to lost in her own thoughts. Shatteredpaw wasn't really paying attention and almost ran into her mentor snapping out of her thoughts when he asked her a question. For what ever reason her heart started to pound in her chest and she couldn't answer at first. "Uh...yeah I'm fine," was her brilliant answer and she mentally kicked herself. "I just wish my mother would realize that my accident changed nothing about me," she meowed.

"Why would she think that?" He asked startled, ears pricking, slipping through the fence, flicking his tail, motioning for her to follow. He inhaled the scent and resisted temptation to eat it. He started plucking leaves.
"We'll only take about half for now." He said. |

"She won't even talk to me and when she does she talks about me never being as good as my siblings," Shatteredpaw meowed answering her mentors question and nodded to her mentor when he told her that they'd only bring half the catmint back to camp. She helped her mentor collect some making sure she didn't gather to many nor bite their stems to close to the ground or the catmint would never grow again.

"That's cruel." Oaktooth said with sympathy for Shatteredpaw in his eyes. "You are equally as strong, if not stronger than them. Your more original, unique and beautiful then they are." Oaktooth stopped his work gazing at her affectionately. He had definatley grown close to the she-cat in the past moon or so.
"Don't pay attention to what she says or thinks. She doesn't know what it's like to be special." He said, his voice quiet. "If I had been in the same accident you were, I don't know how I would survive."
He licked her on the ear. "Just be strong and proud of who you are." |

Shatteredpaw was stunned by what he told her the only other cat who had ever told her this was her over protective brother. At first she did not know what to say and distracted herself by gazing at the sky the tips of her ears hot. "Thanks," Shatteredpaw mewed after she had finally found her voice and gazed down at her paws her fur hot with embarrassment.

Oaktooth shrugged, slightly embarrassed at what he had told her. He hoped she didn't catch the 'beautiful' part. He pulled a few more plants.
"I think that's enough." He nodded at Shatteredpaw. "Let's get some marigold and poppy seeds before we go. I have a feeling we may need some as long as RiverClan still apposes us."

Shatteredpaw nodded in agreement picking up some of the catmint flicking her tail for her mentor to lead the way. She knew where to find poppyseeds and marigold, but what her mentor had told her distracted her. 'He actually thinks I'm beautiful,' she thought flicking her ears.

"Make sure not to eat any." He teased with a smile. He knew what catnip did to cats and had heard stories about things that had happened when eaten. Oaktooth sat down to pluck the marigold.
"What do you think of Thicketstar's ideas." He said, his voicce troubled. |

Shatterpaws whiskers twitched in amusement as she followed her mentor to the marigold and set down the catmint to help her mentor collect the marigold and pricked her ears at the question. "I think he has bees for brains, Starclan would never allow him to do what's he is planning," she scoffed not shy to say what was on her mind when she was with her mentor unlike when she was with the rest of her clan mates and leader.
