Gentle
The beautiful creme colored apprentice sat outside of the medicine cats den. She was once again, trying to recover her memory. Her eyes were closed tight and her ears flat. Her head was tilted toward her paws and her tail was flicking back and forth.
Darkness, darkness, darkness...
That's all she remembered...all that except waking up seeing Hollybranch's pretty face. Her new mentor had been kind to her...even offered to teach her the ways of a medicine cat...but Gentlepaw still felt...sad.
She had to know...even if it lead to her death she would find out...she had to find out...
She was jerked out of her trance as her stomach growled. Beneath her pelt she blushed, feeling stupid. She didn't want to each...but she supposed she better stay strong...

A beautiful she-cat was wandering through the forest, pale eyes gleeming, though seemed to be somewhere else. Hollybranch, the EarthClan medicine cat walked through the forest, her white fur whining silver, her black fur glowing black, and her silver fur glowing white. She looked like some sort of spirit from SunClan, sent to walk among the mortals of the Earth. She spotted her apprenitce looking very sad, sitting on her own. "Gentlepaw?" She meowed softly, sitting down next to the cream colord she-cat. "are you alright?" Her voice was very soft, like you don't have to asnwer, just listen...

Gentlepaw looked up, shocked as Hollybranch came over to her. She saw no point in lying. "Just trying to remember..." she admitted. "It bothers me...not to rememebr...not to know..." she trailed off. "I mean...who am I?"
She looked up at her mentor her eyes filled with both sadness and determination. "I hope SunClan chooses to share it with me..." She paused. "Soon..."
Gentlepaw sighed to herself. "I hate being left in the dark!" She stared at her beauitful mentor and laughed suddenly remembering that when she had first woke up she had thought that she was dead...that she was in the presence of a spirit...

"You are Gentlepaw. You are whomever you choose to be. You don't need SunClan to tell you that, Honey." meowed the gentle medicine cat, her pale eyes soft with simpathy for the young cat. She had so much talent, so much potential. And look around, Gentlepaw. You are not in the dark. When you open your eyes, things can become very bright when they start out very dark. She smiled, licking her apprentice's ear softly.

"I may be Gentlepaw now...but who was I then?" she whispered, staring at her paws. "Oh don't listen to me...I'm just rambling on and on..." she trailed off staring at her mentor. "You know...I still think I might be dead...are you sure you're not part of SunClan?" she teased, trying to change the subject...her mentor didn't need to have to worry about her problems too.
Her mentor was indeed pretty, and kind...she was perfect...she always seemed to know what to say...and for that Gentlepaw respected her more than any other cat. She wanted to be that cat...she wanted to be like Hollybranch...but she knew she wasn't...she was very plain, both in her looks and her personailty...boring, not interesting in the least bit.

"You know what'll cheer you up? A bit of battle practice. Come on,"[/b] She said, standing up and backing away from the apprentice a bit. Even though EarthClan had no enimies, they never knew when a stray wolf cub or eagle might fall into their little haven from the tunnels. She was one of the few cats, Icewolf included, that knew about the tunnels. She decided she would tell Gentlepaw cound them on day...but not know...[/size]

((I'm going to say that Gentlepaw actually fell down the tunnels...and hit her head so she doesn't remember))
Gentle-
What for? part of her wanted to ask, but she didn't want to sound snotty. "Okay..." she mewed. Battle practice was good...distracting. She needed a distraction...there were very few of them...so that left her to dwel on dreams...which she didn't want to do.
Her dreams were always frighting...which made her not want to linger on them...all she wanted...all she needed at this moment was a distraction. She smiled softly. "Attack or defense?" she asked jumping onto her paws.
She fell into a crouch, her long tail swishing back and forth as she waited.

"Attack" Meowed Hollybranch, fur prickeling. "Ok. I'm going to do a jumping attack at your front. You are going to jump at me and trip me in the air with a hind paw, then pin me on the ground. Got it?" Without waiting for a reply, she jumped...
((Ok))

Gentlepaw blinked as her mentor suddenly lanched herself at her. Without thinking Gentlepaw jumped out of the way. She blinked, surprised at herself. "I'm sorry..." she muttered. Then she started to think. "Ok...I'm ready now..."
She positioned herself, planing her next move, as she waited for her mentor's muscles to bunch.

Hollybranch's muscles bunched and she launched herself at her apprentice, a fully fledged leap...
((Ooooh, short...sorry, no muse...))

((lol everyone says that now))
Gentle-
As the she-cat leapt...this time it was higher. Maybe just high enough... The youn she-cat jumped upward, and twisted herself so her belly was facing upward. Then she dug her claws into her mentors fur before twisting again...using her mentor's weight agaist her. Then suddenly, they crashed into the ground and Gentlepaw was on top.
She gasped. I barely...barely made that... If the leap had been one millimeter lower....Gentlepaw shuddered. "Does that work?" she asked softly.

The gray, black and white she-cat lay under the smaller apprentice, chest heaving. "Perfect...Just be quicker next time, OK?" She meowed. "Now get off me you great lump!" She meowed, strguueling against the weight. She didn't want to hurt her, but she stomach pounded. She sure got me good... She thought.

Gentlepaw pretended to be offended. "I'm not that heavy!" she sniffed. "I mean I may be a little...rounded...but I'm not some lazy fat cat!" Then she purred to herself and jumped off of Hollybranch. I didn't realize I was getting so big... she thought...she must be going through a growth spurt.
Gentlepaw blinked, thinking about growing up...she'd never be able to start a family...and that...it saddened her. She shook her head...she was helping the clan...her family.

Hollybranch saw a look on her apprentices face, and knew just what she was thinking of. She knew now was the time...
"You know you don't come from here, don't you, Gentlepaw?" She asked, knowing this was not what she was thinking about but leading up to a conversation this way.

Gentlepaw blinked up at her. "No...after all...I have no memory...so how could I?" Then she paused. "And I assume somebody would have told me by now if I came from EarthClan..." Then suddenly she was serious. "But...no matter what...these cats are my family..." she mewed staring at the cats around the clearing. Then she turned to her mentor. "Why?"
