Ch 4-6 ~ Tales of Perfectheart

Instructions

CH 4 “Tansypaw, wait!” Clayspots called after the ginger she-cat who was briskly running away. “Perfectpaw…” Rainspeck growled at Perfectpaw. “You are revolting! How could you even think of saying that to your sister?” “Eh, she deserved it,” Perfectpaw shrugged. Rainspeck growled and grabbed Perfectpaw’s scruff. “H-hey!” he yelped. She dragged him in front of a large, pale gray tom who was standing in front of the leader’s den. “I want to talk to Mintstar,” Rainspeck announced. The tom stepped aside, letting the angry she-cat in. "So what did you do?" the tom asked. In Perfectpaw's vision, this tom, Blizzardstrike, was complete awesomeness. The deputy, the son of the past leader, Mintstar's brother, and so cool! "Perfectpaw?" "eh?" he asked, snapping out of his fantasies. "Were you listening? I asked if-" but Blizzardstrike was broken off. "PerfectPAW! How dare you! Treating your Clanmates like that!" Frostface screamed. "You will not be allowed to go to any Gatherings until your behavior improves." "What!" Perfectpaw screeched. You can't do that! What did Mintstar say?" "Mintstar doesn't need to deal with little fox-hearts like you! I don't even trust you with elders! You're are little brat! I doubt you could ever change!" Frostface stalked away, bristling. Perfectpaw was angry. CH 5 "Stupid Frostface..." Perfectpaw thought. "Making me fetch moss. I'm above stupid apprentice duties! I'm better than everyone in this Clan!" He threw moss away from him. "I just need to do something to prove that no cat should mess with me," he schemed. "Herbs, herbs, herbs. 'So cool' Moonpaw says. 'Perfectpaw sucks' she says." He thought. An idea popped into his head, and he grinned evilly. Later, he snuck out of the apprentice den while Tansypaw slept. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" a cat yelled. "What's going on?" Tansypaw asked, emerging from the den. "HOW DARE YOU!" Frostface spat at Perfectpaw, who was covered in dusty, torn herbs. Frostface kept screaming at Perfectpaw as Perfectpaw glared defiantly. Frostface huffed after his rant, tears at his eyes. "Frostface, what happened?" the deputy asked, looking concerned. Frostface took a shaky deep breath. "This little BRAT destroyed my entire medicine supply. I-I can't deal with him anymore. I'm going to Mintstar." "So... What do you have to say for yourself?" Blizzardstrike asked Perfectpaw, who was under peer pressure. "uhh- uhh-" he muttered, looking around for escape. "It uh.. wasn't me... IT WAS TANSYPAW!" Tansypaw looked surprised. CH 6 “W-what?” Tansypaw stuttered. “You have got to be kidding me!” Clayspots said. “How DARE you! Leave your sister out of this! For you to try to pass the blame onto her when you are clearly lying is truly despicable. Never in my life did I expect to meet a Clanmate as horrible and shameful to our Clan as yourself.” Not only have you ruined the med cat’s herb supply, which will have detrimental effects on our Clan, but you proceeded to lie and blame it on the least likely cat to ever do such a horrible thing, but you continue to think you could never be in the wrong,” Clayspots continued. “And that makes me horribly disappointed and upset in you.” Clayspot’s yellow eyes bored deep holes in Perfectpaw’s head. “… Well I don’t care what you think! I’ll be the best RiverClan cat in the world!” Perfect paw began to run away. “I’ll show you all!” Tansypaw looked on, and then followed him. They sat silently. “What do you want? I hate you. Remember?” Perfectpaw asked snootily. Tansypaw looked hurt. “I just wanted to say… I forgive you. And I wish you would be willing to change for the better. For your own sake.” “I DON’T NEED YOUR PITY!” he yelled at Tansypaw. Moonpaw came over to Tansypaw as Perfectpaw sulked away. “He doesn’t deserve your pity. Or anyone else’s,” Moonpaw told her sister. “Frostface asked me to gather herbs. You can help me if you like.” Tansypaw sat for a moment. “… Ok.”
