ThunderClan's Territory

Hissing, Rockleap ran at Smoothpaw, trying to knock her over.

Smoothpaw simply moved back, letting his paw swish in front of her face, a claw just barely scratching her nose. She made no other move to attack; She'd let the fight come to her.

Snarling, his amber eyes burning of rage and hatred, Rockleap slashed out at the apprentices face with glistening claws. He leaped to the side to prevent any counter-attacks.

"You know... if you could, why don't you show me? If you could kill me now and end all the problems caused by me, do it now. No one's around; You could make it look like a branch fell and crushed me or something." Smoothpaw said slyly, sitting down. "Big, bad, strong vilans don't take this sort of thing from 'puny apprentices'."

"Oh? You're nothing to me, puny apprentice. I could kill you now, and the clan would never know about me." Rockleap whispered, his smile big and creepy.

Smoothpaw stepped in front of him, refusing to let him get away so easily. "Fight me; I will not take no for an answer. I's rather die than be belittled by you!" she spat. 'What are you doing, baka?! give it up; You're no match!' One thought said, but another, much louder, said, 'Your family was murdered. Do you want other cats killed by this buffoon? Finish him now and it'll save a lot of problems for others and yourself.'

"Yes, but I'm smarter than Tigerstar. I can make others trust me. Your just wasting my time, your wasting your own time." Rockleap mewed, ignoring her now. He turned his head an stalked back into camp instead. Smoothpaw ruined this little trip for him.

This surprised her, but Smoothpaw still held her ground. "Tigerstar already tried that; He ended up dead! And who are you to think I'm no better than anyone?!" She lost her temper. This was a first. Confidence; She had confidence and that made her dangerous. She dug her claws into the earth, her fur bristling. They looked like needles. Her eyes narrowed at him and she slid her feet into a strange stance; a stance a dog would use.

Rockleap snarled. "No, your not! Nobody is! Not even the leader! One day...ohh, one day, I'll rule the forest, and you'll all be sorry!"

Smoothpaw gritted her teeth, thinking of a new way to get him to train her. "I-I'm strong enough! I can do anything! I..." She spoke before she thought, which was extremely rare. "I'm even better than you, Rockleap!" She bit the tip of her tongue, but it was to late. The words had been spoken. She at least hoped it would work.

"Hmph. Go ask the leader, you wouldn't want my training. Nobody would last a day under my training." Rockleap growled. "Because I would have killed them!" He whispered the last part crossly to himself. He continued to stalk away towards the border.

OOC: lolz~ That's okay, Smoothpaw'll straighten him out~ >:3

IC: Smoothpaw sighed. She didn't care really, she just needed to get better with practice. She went back to her training, but it just didn't feel right without anyone to correct her. She ran back to Rockleap and stopped in front of him. "Please! I want to get better; I want to be just like you! You're the best warrior in the clan!" She wasn't lying. She always thought of him as the strongest and best warrior in the history of Thunderclan, or even the longest time of the forest cats. She wanted to be tough under him to get better. She wanted to be great.

"Why should I? I'm not your mentor!" Rockleap snapped. Irritated, he stalked away.

(He's so mean)

"Then can't you train with me? I know I'm not worth, but... please?" Smoothpaw asked and sat up, shaking the dirt out of her fur and licking it straight again. Her soft fur looked like silky fluff.

"What did I tell you? You shouldn't train by yourself." Rockleap muttered crossly.

Smoothpaw jumped at the snarl and stumbled into the brush, landing on the ground in front of Rockleap. "Hi..." She tried, offering a small smile.

Rockleap looked around with a snarl. "Who's there!" He demanded. "Show yourself!"

Smoothpaw woke with a start and frantically looked around her den, then sighed in relief. 'Just another nightmare...' she thought, calming down. She got up and stretched, silently sneaking out of camp again to train a while longer. At this rate, she was sure to get sick, but she didn't care. A little less, she didn't know. She picked the Sunningrocks to train at next, since it would be a nice place to relax her sore muscles when she was done.

Rockleap yawned, jumping over a fallen log. "Who else is their to say hi to StarClan for me?" He mewed as he un-sheathed his claws. They glistened brightly in the blazing sunlight.
