Lazy Elder (Open)

[holidaychild]

Oh, that's right. Your siblings are Blossomkit and Pondkit. Are there any others? I have enjoyed your company and would like to meet the others," Fawntail replied, hoping she hadn't scared Robinkit away. She desperately hoped that she could spend more time with the kits. "Since I can't hunt or fight, I do chores around camp. I still have a lot of free time, though. I have a few stories to tell and I enjoy playing with kits. Maybe I could spend some time with you and your sibling?" Fawntail couln't believe that she had really just said that. She loved kits, but never imagined that they would choose to spend their time with her.

[Sand]

Robinkit nodded printing her ears when Fawntail said that she wanted to meet them, "Well, one of them is over there talking to Tangletail," she meowed pointing to where her sister was still sitting in front of Tsngletail.

[holidaychild]

"Ok, yes, I recognize Pondkit. Thank you for letting me talk to you. It's been nice to actually speak to someone. I haven't been social since my mother left. I was considering leaving the clan, but I have to stay. You're here. You're my rock. Thank you, little Robinkit," Fawntail replied. She bent to lick the kit's head. Goodbye for now. Sad to leave her new friend, Fawntail walked back to the warriors den alone.

[avatarmai]

Tangletail looked at the kit, Robinkit, as she talked to another cat. The elder's brain was to old to remember her name, but he stopped his story as he listened to the two. Robinkit was a good kit, trying to comfort the older she cat. but after they shared some more words, Tangletail meowed to her, "Want to join us, miss?"

[holidaychild]

Fawntail jerked in surprise. Had Tangletail asked her to join him? She nodded slowly and padded over to where they were sitting. "Um, what story are you telling? I have one to tell myself if you don't mind," she stated nervously.

[Sand]

Robinkit bounced back over to Tangletail and her sister nearly tripping over her tail in the process but regained her balance before she could fall.

"This all started when I became an apprentice," Fawntail began. "I was very clumsy. I still am. When I became an apprentice, I could not hunt or fight. Everyone decided I was worthless. They told me I would never become a warrior. My training was stopped and I began doing odd jobs around camp," Fawntail said. She took a deep breath before continuing. "Then there was the battle. We were attacked by stormclan. I was so scared. I was not taught how to fight, so I couldn't protect myself. Then I saw my fellow apprentice falconpaw. He was fighting a huge gray warrior. He was pinned. I was very fond of falconpaw and couldn't sit and watch him die. I didn't know what to do. I leaped on the warrior and clawed his back. He shook be off but before he could pin me I raked at him belly. I still remember his howl of pain. I leaped up and bowled him over, pinning him. He wailed and I released him. I watched him run through the entrance. I limped away from the battle. Then I was attacked by a lean white warrior. I already had wounds, but this warrior destroyed me. He clawed me to shreds. He only missed my throat by a mouselength. He raked my legs until I couldn't stand. Icestar saved me. I'm not sure what happened, only that he ran wailing. That's how I got these scars. Icestar saw me save falconpaw and gave me my warrior name. I have never recovered. That's why I still only do odd jobs. I can't hunt or fight. Not only am I clumsy but I am permanently scarred. So that's my story." Fawntail cringed at the memory. She swished her tail remembering the battle. "I've never been the same since," fawntail concluded. She stared at her paws.

[avatarmai]

Tangletail had listen, very interested. She had a different story, not one of killing foxes or becoming a warrior like everyone else. "You sound like you'll have much different stories then what others would have." He meowed, flicking his tail.

[holidaychild]

"Yes, I have different stories than most. I am technically a warrior now, but I do much different tasks. I don't know what I would do in a fight now." Fawntail replied.

[Sand]

Robinkit had listened to the story wondering what all disabilities were out there that might keep you from being a full warrior. "you don't have to fight to prove anything, medicine cats don't fight," Robinkit meowed. The young kit had yet to show interest in fighting but she did enjoy the thought of hunting.

[holidaychild]

"That is true, fighting isn't everything. but I cannot hunt and was never trained as a medicine cat. I am basically an apprentice." Fawntail said softly. "I wish I was stronger. It would be much easier to find... my father," Fawntail whispered. All her life she had one question- who was her father? She had no luck in finding him. "I never knew him. He might be a rouge or in LeafClan. I may be a halfclan cat," Fawntail said with disgust. She knew how much of a disgrace it is to be a halfclan cat.

[avatarmai]

Tangletail disagreed with her. "If you're half clan, you may be able to do things other can't. There is something different about each clan, and being half clan might be good."

[holidaychild]

Fawntail was surprised by Tangletail's positive reaction. Most cats would have dismissed her a disgrace. She realized that Tangletail had a point. "I never thought of it that way," Fawntail replied excitedly. "I just wish I knew. Have you ever seen any cats that look like me at gatherings?"

[avatarmai]

Tangletail took moments to think it over. He had seen so many faces in his time, many had gone, and many had arrived. It took moments to think, as he flicked his tail. "I might of...It's hard to remember, with my old head...but maybe..." He meowed.

[holidaychild]

Fawntail felt her heart sink. "That's OK. but I will still continue to search. I must know." she told Tangletail. Suddenly Fawntail felt extremely tired. "Um, I need to get back to my den," Fawntail said while coughing. She started back toward the warrior's den. Suddenly she started coughing and couldn't stop. Fawntail collasped in a heap on the ground. "Medicine cat!" she said through her coughing fit. She then remembered that LeafClan didn't have a medicine cat.

Thistlepaw was padding through the clearing when he saw Fawntail collaspe on the ground in a fit of coughing. Oh no! LeafClan didn't have a medicine cat! He ran to where she was laying beside Tangletail. "What will we do!" he cried. He hated to see one of his clanmates so sick. "We don't have a medicine cat," he said softly. "We have to get her to another Clan's medicine cat!" (continued in what do I do)
