Tigerpaw gave Secretpaw a look of admiration, he was clearly surprised. Boy is he fast, I'd say he's as fast, maybe a little faster, than Quickpaw! And strong too. he mused to himself, watching Secretpaw quietly, keeping away his smile carefully and looking Quickpaw, warning her to be quiet!
Quickpaw, to tell the truth, was dieing of laughter, on the inside. On the outside she was nearly dying for lack of air as she tried to restrain herself. She turned her back quickly to hide the grin on her face and she trotted briskly away and, burying her face in a clump of grass, laughed as hard as she could.
Tigerpaw glanced over his shoulder, wondering where Quickpaw had gotten to. When he saw what she was doing he clenched his jaw to keep a giggle from escaping his mouth.
Brownpaw sighed with relief at Lustpaw's words. 'So everyone's alright.' he reassured himself quietly. 'What are Quickpaw and Tigerpaw doing?' he asked curiously, he hadn't know his friends to make enemies.

Secretpaw smirked in amusement as he saw what Quickpaw was doing, and he carefully let Legendpaw up," Go. Now. or else I may have to resort to actually fighting you." he growled.
Legendpaw glared daggers at him," You better watch your back, foxdung." she hissed, turninh and disappearing over a hill.
Lustpaw shrugged," It seems Quickpaw is laughing her tail off, and Tigerpaw is just standing there. Legendpaw just ran off."
Secretpaw sighed as he turned away from the area his troublesome sibling had vanished to, looking at the two apprentices," Don't mind her. She would insult anyone.." he ignored the blood that dripped from the scratches on his face, not really caring.

Tigerpaw nodded. 'You're fast! One of the fastest I've seen, ol' Quickpaw's fast too.' He glanced back at Quickpaw with an amused grin. 'I think she thought that was funny.' He said with a giggle.
Quickpaw regained her composure and trotted back over to Secretpaw and Tigerpaw. 'That was great Secretpaw!' she grinned. 'I wish I could just sit on anyone that gets on my nerves.' She looked enviously at him. 'Ouch, do your scratches hurt?' Turning mother, Quickpaw walked over and started to wiped the blood away from his face.
Brownpaw sniffed. 'Is Secretpaw bleeding? I smell blood.' He flicked his tail nervously, afraid that maybe Secretpaw was more hurt than Lustpaw had noticed. He jumped a little as a cricket brushed against his paw. He leaned down and sniffed at it before pushing it away with his paw. Crickets. he thought to himself.

"Legendpaw just uses strength to fight. She isn't too bright, or too fast. it's easy to outsmart her. I'm fine. it's just a little scratch, nothing too bad..." he mewed, grinning. His black pelt was ruffled from the small tussle that Secretpaw and Legendpaw had, but his blue eyes were laughing," She didn't know what hit her."
Lustpaw looked at Brownpaw," he just got scratched a little." he mewed quietly, looking at his brother quietly. " We're gonna have to do something about Legendpaw, though..." he mewed, sighing," Why can't she be some other cat's sibling?"

Tigerpaw nodded. 'Nope, I guess she ain't to bright. Especially when she thinks she can stand up to you!' he grinned. He was excited to have a new friend, he loved to make new friends. 'So is that your only sibling? A sister? Quickpaw's my only sibling.' he gave her a quick smile.
Quickpaw nodded. 'And my big brother Tigerpaw has always been my protector.' she grinned, looking at her big brother with admiration. She loved her brother as much as he loved her. They would both be willing to give their lives for the other and they always backed each other up. Quickpaw had many times gotten her brother out of trouble with her quick mind.
Brownpaw shrugged. 'Everyone has to have something bad to live with.' he said matter of factly. 'And some of the bad things are more permanent than others.' he said this quietly, more to himself then anyone. He had many times wished he could see colors and know what the others were talking about when they said. "Oh what a pretty sunrise! What a beautiful shade of pink!"[/b]'

Secretpaw motioned to Lustpaw, nearly idetical looking to him except for the scars and the eyes, " That's my brother, Lustpaw!" he mewed brightly, grinning at the others. " He's not very fun, but on a rare day he can be. He's faster than me." The tom said, looking at Lustpaw.
Lustpaw sighed, " Yeah, but she needs to learn her place..." he growled lightly, eyes narrowed. His eyes flashed, as he thought of something,' If I had been Secretpaw, I wouldn't have stopped at just holding her down...' His ears flattened, and shame hit him like a bullet. He acted like the strong one, but he was so weak..... Why?

Tigerpaw looked over a Lustpaw and grinned. 'Hullo!' he called. Looking back a Secretpaw he put his head to the side. 'Where'd he get all those scratches? He get into a lot of fights?' He said this quietly, not exactly wanting to be overheard. He had no idea what they're background was but he was determined to find out.
Quickpaw was also curious and and after giving Lustpaw and grin and an aknowledging nod she turned to hear Secretpaw's reply. Her green eyes sparkled with excitement, she loved to hear others' histories. Her own history was not very interesting, being born and raised in the clan, but she admired others who had interesting histories, like Brownpaw. Brownpaw? she looked back towards Lustpaw, remembering that she had seen a little brown fur over there. She grinned when she saw Brownpaw and she shouted a greeting over to him.
Brownpaw returned the greeting and then turned his face towards Lustpaw. 'What would you have done?' he asked cautiously, but curiously. He couldn't see Lustpaw's shame flattened ears, but he could feel a difference in the tom's position. He blinked and twitched his whiskers. He was itching to know why this cat had such a different attitude than most apprentices. He couldn't see him, but he knew that he wasn't blind or deaf. He didn't know how a cat who had the ability to see and hear could be unhappy.

Secretpaw looked at them," Well, we don't really know where we came from, only that it was a hard journey, and cats died to get us to the Clans for some reason. But he's had those scars for as long as UI can remember.... It might be from the journey...."
Lustpaw looked at Brownpaw, alarm entering his eyes. HJad he spoken his thoughts aloud?!? He shook his head, turning away and muttering," Nothing..." What would he have done? He would have let hr get away without a few scratches, and that made him more ashamed. The thought of harming his sister gave him an odd sense of pleasure, and that scared the black tom more than anything else could.

Quickpaw looked at Secretpaw with wide eyes. 'It sounds like you have an exciting history.' she said with a grin. 'Me and Tigerpaw don't, we were born and raised in the clan. It seems like everyone has a more exciting history than us. Brownpaw does, you do, your sis and brother do.' she sighed and shook her head, she would do anything for an exciting past.
Tigerpaw nodded in agreement, it did sound like they had an exciting history. To bad they can't remember any of it. he thought to himself glumly. Wouldn't that of made a great story. Tigerpaw loved to hear stories, especially true ones.
Brownpaw put his head to the side. He didn't exactly believe Lustpaw but he didn't want to push it. He shrugged and faced the other cats again. This was a strange cat, but he liked him for some reason. He felt different than Tigerpaw and Quickpaw and any of the other apprentices that he had met. Brownpaw was determined to be everone's friend, in his clan that is, but this cat was different from the others he acted... more grown up? Brownpaw wasn't sure what the different was.

Secretpaw nodded," All I've heard is that one cat came to the camp and dropped us there, before collapsing and dying... And I can remember growling, yelling, and the roar of a river..." He looked around, tail twitching," At least you guys know your parents." he mewed quietly, ears flattening.
Lustpaw turned to look at the others. He sighed as he saw Secretpaw, busily chatting away. His brother was always the social one... While he was the lonely one, and Legendpaw was the.... he couldn't even explain Legendpaw in one word. He didn't think she would turn out to be leader, not with her attitude.

Quickpaw nodded. 'I guess so, but it would be so exciting to have a mysterious parantage.' she grinned at the accomplishment of throwing out two big words in one breath. She loved to use long words, the were so elegant, though Quickpaw was anything but elegant.
Tigerpaw rolled his eyes at the long words. He didn't see the greatness of big words, they didn't mean anything to him. 'You shoulda seen us at the nursery!' he grinned. 'We were always having fun, and getting into trouble too but who cares about tha?' he laughed loudly.
Brownpaw twitched his ear at Tigerpaw's laugh. 'Sounds like they're having fun.' he aknowledged. He looked towards Lustpaw. 'You aren't very playful are you?' He grinned a little as he settled down into the soft mossy ground beneath him. Curious to see if this cat could be coaxed into a playful mood he batted at him a little with one of his paws. He succeeded in tapping Lustpaw's side and he grinned at his accomplishment. He crouched down, inviting Lustpaw to a playful scuffle.

Lustpaw sighed, clearly wondering what to do. Most cats steered clear of him, except for his siblings, and he wished Legendpaw would stay clear of him onjce and a while... He crouched down, leaping over Brownpaw to get behind him and bat at his back. He was fast, like Secretpaw had said earlier.
Secretpaw nodded, " Trouble is my middle name!" he said, grinning again. He looked around, eyes bright. " See, Lustpaw's fast." he mewed, motioning to the jet black sibling with a nod. " His tail twitched as a few birds flew overhead, and his eyes brightened.

Tigerpaw put his head to the side. 'I thought you said he was no fun, look at him play with Brownpaw!' He watched with a grin. 'Wow, you're right, he is fast!' Tigerpaw twitched his tail in amusement as he watched the fun. He never felt any worry for Brownpaw, he was sure that he could take care of himself fine.
Quickpaw watched, worrying slightly for Brownpaw. She was like a worriesome mother towards Brownpaw, who had no mother, she was always afraid that he would get hurt or something. She settled down into a comfortable position and watched the two closely. She glanced at Tigerpaw, noting his interest in the tussle, she sighed as she realized he was just interested in the play and not worried at all. She shook her head in despair, was she the only one that could worry?
Brownpaw grinned, happy that he had gotten the tom playing. He hesitated for a moment, sniffing and twitching his ear, trying to locate Lustpaw again. Behind me. he finally decided as he felt Lustpaw's paw tap him. He wheeled around and stood up on his hind legs, batting in the air and then coming down to his paws and jumping at Lustpaw. He aimed for his back, he was pretty sure that he knew where it was else he would not of jumped. He rarely did jump for spots, usually edging along carefully instead, but sometimes when he was very sure of himself he would pounce. 'You're fast!' he mewed with a grin.

Secretpaw looked around," Well, he doesn't play that much.... Not many cats try to approach him... So he doesn't get many chances to play..." The black and white tom mewed, eyes bright as a smile appeared on his face. " You should see him in an actual fight... Legendpaw provoked him once.... It was bad." He mewed, shuddering as he remembered the fight. " But she was asking for it, sort of. She was trying to make fun of a little kit, and Lustpaw wouldn't stand for it..." he mewed. He idolized his brother, who he believed had a great sense of justice and was a great fighter.
Lustpaw's ears picked up the words of his brothers, and shock stunned him for a moment. Justice? What if it had only been he had been in the right place at the right time....? He couldn't ever tell anyone why he truelyfought Legendpaw that day, when he was feeling bloodthirsty.... He was so startled he wasn't paying attention to Brownpaw, who hit him square on his back. Instantly, Lustpaw dropped into a crouch, trying to roll away from the tom.

Quickpaw grinned. 'Leave it to Brownpaw to approach the unapproachable.' She watched the two tussling toms for a moment before turning back to Lustpaw. 'He may not look very kind but if he stands up for kits he's kind in my eyes.' She smiled.
Tigerpaw nodded, agreeing with Quickpaw. 'Brownpaw doesn't look at the outside.' he said quietly, as if his words had more meaning than just his words. Quickpaw shot him a warning glare and he switched the subject smoothly. 'Lustpaw must be a great cat.' he mused. 'Kit defender, great warrior, silent thinker.' Tigerpaw grinned at these titles. 'I say, want to join our group? It isn't much but we all choose last names and it's fun. I'm Tigerpaw the Silent, Quickpaw is Quickpaw the Quick and Brownpaw is Brownpaw the Silly. What would you like your last name to be? It must represent you somehow. You see Quickpaw is very quick so that's why she got that one.' he let out this steady stream of chatter quite easily, he loved to talk.
Brownpaw grinned as he felt himself land on Lustpaw's back. He tried to grab on with his paws, he kept his claws in carefully, and tried to get a good hold but he started to slip anyway. Oh boy. he thought to himself with a sigh.
