SNAKE STRIKE {p, adderpaw}

[fancypost bgcolor=none; bordercolor=transparent; borderwidth=0px; width: 400px;font-size:8pt;line-height: 150%;][justify]adderpaw had once had a friend in shadowclan. she'd been an alabaster molly by the name of snowpaw. sometimes he still thought of his interactions with the bi-eyed fem. their friendship had had lots of potential. it'd also come with the knowledge of shadowclan's "secret" tunnels.

because of that little cross-clan affair, adderpaw had grown accustomed the the scent of his swamp-dwelling neighbors. honestly, he had some beef with them too. he remembered their corrupt past leader and - although it'd been dark forest influences - couldn't exactly get past all they'd done to the other clans. subsequently, he had a grudge towards every shadowclanner, alive or dead.

he'd been just about to return home from a walk when the scent brushed his nose. adderpaw froze at that, his muscles tensing. it wouldn't take long for a calico to come into view, chasing after a mouse. his temper flared at that; the sight of the fem hunting on his territory was just enough to provoke him.

the apprentice would bound from his position, leaping at the rodent that was distracted by the tri-colored apprentice. with an audible snap of it's neck, the tom would then look to the younger feline, eyes hard as stone. "you do know where you are, right? because it certainly isn't the nursery - where you should be."

"apprentices don't enter other clans' territories. maybe you should go back home and learn that. also, they don't steal food dung-for-brains."

adderpaw stalked closer to her, shoulder blades rocking as his head lowered to get closer to eye-level with the youth. earthy hues locked with the fearful blue in her eyes, cold as ice, sharp as blades. "listen kit, you've just gone against the code. what kind of warrior do you think that'll make you?"

"what was that?"

his voice had dropped in pitch, now taking on a tone that was closer to a growl. "i thought i heard an insult there. but i just can't understand a thing you're saying with all that stuttering." as he spoke, the apprentice continued to draw closer, taking a step forward every time her own paws carried her back.

"you're nowhere near fourtrees, mousebrain. this is thunderclan land, nowhere even close to neutral. what you're doing is against the code? now how will your useless clan of frog-breaths feel about that, huh?"

[fancypost bgcolor=none; bordercolor=transparent; borderwidth=0px; width: 400px;font-size:8pt;line-height: 150%;][justify]poor emberpaw had caught the boy on a bad day. the week had been stressful, every day presenting something new for him to brood over. perhaps some other time he would have yelled at her then allowed her to scamper back home to cry to that pathetic excuse she called a leader. not today though.

"how are you going to learn if you aren't punished? apprentices have to own up to their mistakes, y'know. doesn't seem like raggedstar and her litter of mousehearted warriors has taught you that. guess it's up to me," it would be at this point that his sage eyes would take on a look that seemed more nefarious. not a moment later, adder's uninjured front paw struck out at her face, claws unsheathed.

[fancypost bgcolor=none; bordercolor=transparent; borderwidth=0px; width: 400px;font-size:8pt;line-height: 150%;][justify]the moment he had struck, feeling his claws tearing through the thin skin surrounding her left visionary, adderpaw knew he'd done something severe to the apprentice. a beat went by with the girl staring fearfully up at him. her one eye was squeezed tight and there was blood seeping openly. that sight was enough to promise him that she'd have scars for a while, perhaps even lose the eye. even more worrying, he hardly found it in himself to feel bad either. instead he just called after her.

"don't ever come back!"
