Sunclan Maplepaw pursed her lips. She did all she could to restain herself from going right up to this conceited cat and give him a peice of her mind. Instead she just sat and rolled her eyes. She couldn't stand cats who were conceited... But why even pay attention? There was really no point. Taking her mind off of Cheetahpaw, she was elated that she had even tied! She'd never even fished before! She was a bit sad she didn't accually win, but she hadn't truly expected to. "I just hope Moongaze will be proud..." she thought desperately, casting a quick sidelong glance at her mentor. Since she hadn't a father of her own she sub-consciously had placed Moongaze in the role, though she had barely known him, he was the closest thing to a father she ever had. She flicked her ear. She had expected to hear Earthstar end the contest already. She turned to where Lakeclan's leader had been, but he was gone now. Her eyebrows raised slightly. What had happened to him?

Willowkit hissed once more at Oakpaw, goading her on, but stopped as Mintstar approached. Her leader gave the call to head back to camp, and Willowkit shrugged. It didn't matter to her, she wasn't competing. Dawnbreeze approached Willowkit, ushering Lightningkit in front of her, as they followed the Boulderclan leader back to camp. "What an interesting day.." Willowkit mumbled to herself.
ooc// Smiley needs to play Lightningkit..but when she leaves, who is going to play him until she comes back? I can't just ignore him.

Lightningkit thought and thought of how to say it, how he could ask Dawnbreeze if she was really his mother. He knew it would break her heart, and the very thought of doing that tore a whole through Lightningkit's. He shuddered one of those gasps as if he'd just finished crying, which Lightningkit honestly felt like doing right about then. He bit his lip and, unable to prevent himself, completely blurted it out. "Who is my real mother?!" He immediately slumped down and buried his face in his paws after saying this, how could he have done so? Now she would hate him, and Willowkit too! Maybe he could runaway to LakeClan! And he could work on the theory of who his real parents were, and he could spend time with beautiful heatherkit...
ooc - we have two options: a) dawnbreeze tells him the truth b) dawnbreeze lies, but Willowkit knows she is lying. soon after, like half a moon after, Willowkit will tell lightningkit the truth and not get the outcome she'd hoped for.

ooc// Dawnbreeze will just tell him what she knows, since she doesn't know anything about who his real parents are anyway.
Dawnbreeze looked a little surprised. Glancing around, she meowed quietly, "Come with my Lightningkit." Nudging the small bundle away from the group, she instructed Willowkit to go back to camp without them. The calico she-cat hesitated for a second, her gaze flicking to Lightningkit, then nodded as if she understood what was happening. "Lightningkit," Dawnbreeze began once they were out of earshot. "You are a bright and eager kit for one so young, which is why I knew you'd find out that I am not your birth mother, and Willowkit is not your blood sister." She paused, a flicker of sadness making her green eyes look dull. "But, I do not know who your real parents are. I only know that you ended up in camp, and that I was asked to nurse you, because I was the only queen in the nursery. The scents of all four clans clung to your fur, and it was hard to distinguish if any of the scents were stronger. You weren't even a day old when you arrived.." Reclining to her haunches, she sighed. Dawnbreeze knew this moment would come, but it certainly had felt as if Lightningkit were blood kin.

Earthstar’s pelt bristled and his eyes flashed with every ounce of hate and bitterness inside him. ”I’ll get you some day” he mewed back to Oakpaw, in the same low tone that she was using on him, a tone only she could hear. She may have only been an apprentice but apprentices were old enough to make decisions for themselves and she had chosen to be enemies with him. ”And you” he mewed louder, but not too loudly so Coldheart could hear him too. ”One of these days we’ll be square …and you’ll be sorry.” He wasn’t upset it was over, but quite glad as there had been zero hope of a Lakeclan victory anyway. But in two moons they would hold it again and hopefully this time reach the end of it. And then Lionkit, Tigerkit, Cheetahkit and all of them would be apprentices and Lakeclan would be in with a good chance. No - Earthstar was not upset to go, but he had one more trick up his sleeve before he and Lakeclan finally departed. ”Come with me Lakeclan” Earthstar bellowed, calling the Lakeclan cats to him. ”We will return to camp now. It is obvious that as Boulderclan can’t stand losing they want to end the competition here and now.” He grimaced in mock sadness. ”A shame…but we’ll meet again in two moons, hopefully when Boulderclan apprentices ahem…have learnt to control their anger a little more.”
Moongaze rolled his eyes angrily, running up to Maplepaw. ”You did great” he mewed excitedly, eyes flashing in a similar way to Earthstar’s but much less violently. He was not angry at his apprentice however, no, he was immensely proud of her and wanted her to know that really she had won and had been so good for Sunclan. But why did Earthstar and Mintstar have to kick up such a ruckus when all Sunclan wanted to do was compete in a good contest. Well …maybe in two moons everyone would be a little calmer. He barely listened to Earthstar’s snide comments about Boulderclan and nodded appreciatively as Skystar tried to intervene …unsuccessfully. It had not been a successful night - that much was true for all the clans. But Maplepaw had done well - Maplepaw had stuck to it and given a new activity her best try to superb results. ”Well done” he mewed again, but slightly quieter, smiling in an apologetic manner at her.
Otterfur nodded, not wanting to linger at the Apprentice Contest which had turned into a battlefield. ”Come on” she mewed to Cinderkit, picking the kit up by the scruff of her neck with slight difficulty as the kit had grown larger and therefore heavier since Otterfur had last carried her. As they padded through the main clearing { keeping slightly to shadow but not staying in too much secrecy as no one was paying them the slightest attention } Otterfur spotted another kitten out of the corner of her eye. Like Cinderkit he appeared to be distressed, like Cinderkit he looked very, very young and he and Cinderkit seemed very, very alike. Not wanting the kitten to see, Otterfur began to hurry off in the other direction, putting Cinderkit gently on the ground as her jaws hurt from carrying the kitten.

Lightningkit looked at her blankly for a moment, trying to think of what to reply. He wondered, pondering the story deeply. So, she wasn't his mother, and Willowkit wasn't his sister. He thought and thought, thinking that there was a possiblity his theory was true. But he wasn't ready to tell Dawnbreeze that, no. Not yet. "So, I wasn't born in BoulderClan? Does the Clan hate me, and I just don't notice?" He asked, having observed things in LakeClan. There were a few cats, ones of which he didn't know the name, that seemed like outcasts. Had they been born in a different Clan? He sighed, trying to remember anything from his birth. All he could remember was continuous screaming, and a rather large kick to his head. Everything else seemed vague and just a blur.
[/center][/color] "Alright, DreamClan! Let's go, mentors make sure you have your apprentices!" She looked at Earthstar angrily, though it was a false sense of anger. She looked at him, sadness flaring in her eyes and a narrow grin appeared on her face. "Huh, you really are what you seem." She mouthed 'meet me at the border' knowing he would have full sense of where to pay attention. She'd always send signals like that, but she was so happy to see him. He was perfect, he was handsome - even if no one else could see it. She took one last glance behind her, looking at Kettlekit and Lightningkit. It seemed Lightningkit had kept his name miraculously, but Kettlekit? No, she was Cinderkit now. Snowstar sighed, shaking her head at the loss. A quick flick of her tail, and she led her Clan out of the undergrowth.

|ooc| One of these days, Fudgester... SNAKECHARM. DON'T FORGET SNAKECHARM. I swear I'll turn from Starstar to Spazstar on you if you keep forgetting your on kitty.

"What, we're leaving already?" Cheetahpaw whined in a drawl, glowering ever so slightly at his mentor, the tawny apprentice then cast Maplepaw a lofty look afterwards. "See you later, SunClan breath." With that, the cheetah-like tomcat got to his paws and turned, stalking off after his leader with tail held erect and proud. A tie. Not bad...
Scoffiing at Earthstar haughtily, Coldheart sheathed his claws relunctantly, flexing a paw threateningly. If he dared lay a paw on his apprentice, no matter how pig-headed and infuriating she was... Sniffing, the black-and-white tom swished his tail in Earthstar's retreating face almost belligerently. Smiling vaguely, Coldheart bounded after the rest of the BoulderClan cats, coming to stride with Crimsonaura. Well. This Apprentice Contest turned out well for its first time.

Dawnbreeze shook her head. "No, no. Everyone likes you just fine Lightningkit." Looking up, she realized the clan had disappeared. "Come, let's get back to camp now." She licked his gently on the head before getting up and walking back to camp.
ooc// Short short short..continue in Boulderclan. ^^

BoulderClan
Oakpaw looked back and growled seeing that they did not get to their event.Hissing lowly she padded up to Earthstar and stopped him in his track and looked up with sweet inocent eyes and then pushed her paws toward her chest and mewed "I'm really,really really..."She slashed her claws out and and dug them into the ground scraping some of the skin off "NOT sorry for what I did.You deserve everything and every word said to you."She then dashed away toward BoulderClan knowing that elder Earthstar wouldn't catch up to her at all.
ooc-Sorry I just had to post that.
SunClan
Skystar sighed and then mewed to SunClan cats "Seeing that the gathering is broken up we shall head back now."He nodded at Snowstar and Earthstar and Mintstar and then flicked his tail toward his clan and began to leave. Sunset sighed and looked around for Pinepaw.That apprenticeShe thought to herself and then padded up to Moongaze and mewed "Maplepaw did really good for first time fishing.Congragulate her for me okay?"

Sunclan Maplepaw beamed broadly. "Thanks." she said to Moongaze. She flicked her ear at Cheetahpaw's comment but didn't turn to look at him. "A tie is better than nothing, right?" she mewed, sort of sensing Moongaze's feelings. She looked over at the fish. "Are we gonna take them back to camp?" then dragging her tongue around her mouth she added "They taste kinda funny. Not what I'm used too!" Lakeclan Ashfeather rolled his eyes and shook his head. How could Earthstar behave like that? Especially with an apprentice!! Although the apprentice had been rather... well... forward. He groaned. "Guess that's it then." he commented to Silverfoot as he stood up to leave. "Alot of them didn't get to compete." he said as he looked at the dissapointed faces of the apprentices. "Poor guys..." ooc: bleh. short. I'm tired.

Silverfoot nodded. "Earthstar does have a temper doesn't he," he smirked, waving his tail as he got to his paws. "Let's just head back to camp then. There's nothing more to see here. Maybe next time he will be able to control himself, and we'll actually get to finish these contests!" He paused, glancing at Oakpaw. "Oakpaw needs to learn her place as well. Silly apprentices."
