A Warrior's Tale: Jeralyn Smith

    Nothing seemed like it could ever go wrong but trust me it can. It happened the day I took my warriors assessment and please don't end up in the Dark Forest like I did beware the claws of evil. Anyway here is my story I was a ThunderClan warrior.

    "Heatherpaw wake up we take our assessment today!" Pinepaw my brother sounded hysterically excited. I opened bleary eyes and yawned I really didn't care about her assessment I knew she was going to pass so why should I get excited it was just changing the paw in my name to something like tail or pelt or whatever. Frostynose my mentor poked her beautiful black head with a white nose into the den and smiled excitedly at me.

    "Today is your assessment aren't you excited!" Frostynose was a great cat and all but she was loud and hysterical in my opinion when I became a warrior I wouldn't be as weird as Frostynose. I realized Frostynose was looking at me waiting to respond so I decided to let the silence draw out and then I answered.

    "Sure I am SOOOO excited," I replied sarcastically rolling my eyes. Frostynose looked at me bewildered. Was I supposed to be jumping out of my pelt I was so thrilled? Because I felt as excited as a dead mouse. Honeyeyes brushed in and pawed over to Pinepaw and waved her tail happily in the air. 

    "Are you ready!" Honeyeyes asked Pinepaw with eyes bright with happiness for her gleeful apprentice. 

    "YES!" Pinepaw's tail stuck straight up in the air and his eyes were open as wide as they could go. 

    "At least SOMEBODY is excited because there is this ONE apprentice who is sulking about becoming a warrior like seriously who does that?

    Sun high...

    I have only caught a bug and two leaves my mentor is right there and looking extremely disappointed. HA I'll show her that I don't want to be a warrior. Actually maybe I should catch a mouse a TINY mouse. I opened my mouth scenting a plump rabbit I turned away and scented a skinny vole I guess that would do. I crept through the undergrowth until I was a few tail lengths from the vole.

    I pounced delivering the killing bite. I turned around to see my mentor looking a little happy.

    "You passed," Frostynose waved her tail happily. She looked very relieved. 

    "Really... well okay I guess I am excited. Yay," Frostynose looked at me hard and gave her tail an angry twitch. 

    "You could make a good warrior if you were not so sarcastic, grumpy, and lazy. I am glad I don't have to mentor you anymore. Gather up your prey and get to camp NOW," Frostynose was mad. I gazed at my paws while my mentor chattered on about boring stuff about behaving and sticking to the warrior code, I ignored her. 

    "I am tired of you so I am passing you but that is the only reason I am passing you," Frostynose spat and her tail fluffed up in anger. I raised my head in victory. 

    Warrior ceremony...

    "I say these words before StarClan so they can hear and approve my words. Heatherpaw you are a brave but strong willed apprentice you. Do you agree to obey the warrior code and approve all warrior duties?" Miststar sat at the edge of high rock looming over me I grinned.

    "No! I am becoming a rogue," I spun around and walked out of camp and straight into a badger.

    Don't be foolish like me for I am the dreaded Heatherpaw of the dark forest. MWA HA HA HAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
