Moving On

Ebonypaw struggled to stand. She was getting stronger everyday, and though she couldn't use her back leg, she fought to get better.

Wandernight watched Ebonypaw struggling to walk, she still wanted so desperately to be a warrior. But how could she? How could she fight? She looked at Ivorypaw. Ivorypaw too would have trouble fighting. Even hunting and running. She sighed, and Fellstar came to stand next to her.

"How are they going to be warriors? They can get warrior names, but they can't help the clan."

Fellstar shook his head.

"Special training. I won't be able to help Ebonypaw train now. She needs a warrior that can see. Bayfrost can still train Ivorypaw. She's far behind in her training, since she was missing for many moons, and when she got hurt they were only half way through. Ebonypaw was going to get her name, but now she needs to retrain. It's almost as if both of them need to start from the beginning again. They can't use the same hunting techniques, or fighting techniques. We need to make up new attacks for them. They both can't climb any more, which is a main skill of JayClan. Ivorypaw can still jump to catch birds. But Ebonypaw won't be able to. She may still be able to climb, but it's hard to say at this point. We'll jsut have to make stuff up as we go."

Wandernight nodded.

"Who could be Ebonypaw's new mentor?"

Fellstar thought for a moment.

"Maybe Fringeblade. He may be fierce and ambitious, but he may be able to teach her with Bayfrost there with Ivorypaw. He's our head warrior and he hasn't had an apprentice yet. And I'll still help occasionally."

Wandernight stood up stretching.

"As long as they train together, then fine."

She padded away, her heard low.

Ebonypaw itched to get out of camp. What happened to Finnick? Was he okay? Questions went through her head, and all she wanted to do was see him. But she could barely walk alone, and her parents were always watching her. She scowled under her breath, and closed her eyes, trying to imagine his scent.

She also wanted to start training again. She wanted to prove that she still could become the warrior she should have.
