A small stone tipped over the edge, dropping down the endless ridge, or so it seemed, until it landed with the faintest thud below. An all black femme sat on the edge, smiling down at it, blue eyes stark contrast against her otherwise colorless fur. Scorchpaw quietly nudged another stone to the edge, and nosed it off, wathcing the second one fall silently. Her tail flicked with amusement, which would be confusing for all who might have been watching.

Kestrelpaw smiled with amusement at her fellow apprentice as she watched from behind a boulder. She decided to have some fun, and crept quietly, yet quickly, towards Scorchpaw. Kestrelpaw’s light gray fur blended in well with the rocky landscape, and only her dark blue eyes were visible. After a few short seconds, she was right behind the other she-cat. “Boo!” She yowled, right in Scorchpaw‘s ear, trying to scare her.

Scorchpaw jumped with surprise, then whirled around to face Kestrelpaw. As she turned, the ground beneath her paws gave way, dropping her hind legs over the edge. The femme yowled in anger, hardly ever showing any fear or sorrow to anyone, ever. Scorchpaw scrabbled at the edge for a grip, only to slide further and further before losing her grip all together, plummeting into the abyss...
A sickening thud sounded the end of her freefall, of only a few taillengths. Scorchpaw opened her eyes, gazed around, then looked up at Kestrelpaw with hatred. She had, lucikly, landed on a ledge that jutted out of the ridges side.

Kestrelpaw gasped, her blue eyes filled with worry. She hadn’t expected Scorchpaw to be that scared… in fact, she didn’t think Scorchpaw was afraid of anything. She jumped out over the edge, and used her sharp claws to climb down to the ledge the other apprentice was laying on. “Are you okay Scorchpaw?” She asked, her voice genuinely worried. “I didn’t think you would be so scared…”

Scorchpaw hissed and glared at Kestrelpaw, blue orbs narrowed to thin slits. "I wasn't scared, I never get scared. Only kits are scared of anything." She spat. "But next time you do that I'll flay you, got it?" Scorchpaw gave one more growl, then turned to the cliff face and clawed her way to the top, kicking stones over the edge to have them land upon Kestrelpaw. "Just stay out of my way." She growled over her shoulder, stalking away without waiting for Kestrelpaw.

Kestrelpaw clawed her way up the rock face after Scorchpaw. Her eyes were full of sadness and she felt dejected. “Scorchpaw,” She meowed, “I really am sorry.” She ran a few steps to catch up to the other she-cat. “And there’s nothing wrong with being scared. Everyone gets scared at some time or another.” She continued to keep pace with Scorchpaw, waiting to see if she would respond.

Scorchpaw didn't stop, though her maw was twisted in a scowl the whole while. "I told you, I wasn't scared, I never have been scared, and I never will be scared. Just accept the fact that I am better in that area than you are, just like with everything else." The jet black she-cat scoffed, blue orbs trained forwards as she continued to head away from the ridge.

Kestrelpaw had apologized for her mistake, but now Scorchpaw’s attitude was starting to make her mad. Her blue eyes blazed with anger as she whirled around and came to a stop directly in front of Scorchpaw. “Why are you acting like such a spoiled kit?” She hissed, her voice angry. “I told you I was sorry. Can’t you just accept that and just move on with life?” She asked. Then because her anger got the best of her, she continued her rant. “Plus, I can tell that you were scared. Why else would you of fallen?” She asked. “You aren’t perfect. No one is.”

Scorchpaw smiled, despite having Kestrelpaw calling her out. It was exactly what she wanted, and what she always aimed for; to make them angry. "I don't require or desire your apologies. And besides, just because you know that I'll always be better than you doesn't mean you need to lie about my reaction." Scorchpaw meowed in an stoic, calm voice, as though she had never been angry in the first place. "You don't need to get all fussy over the fact that I'm better than you or any other apprentice in the Clan."

"You aren't the best apprentice in the clan." Kestrelpaw spat. "Now, I'm not saying I'm the best, but there are plenty of cats who are better hunters and fighters than you." The she-cat's dark blue eyes blazed with anger and the fur on her shoulders was bristling. "Plus, you have the worst attitude out of all of the apprentices. Why can't you just be nice?"

"Because if I was nice, I wouldn't be myself." Scorchpaw retorted, smiling with a look that would percieve to anyone as arrogance. "Besides, you are the nice oe around here, so somebody has to have an attitude. And I personally love myself." Scorchpaw added. "And anyways, just because you know I am better than you doesn't mean you need to get upset over it."

"I'm not getting upset because you're better than me." Kestrelpaw retorted. "Because I know that all you really are is an ignorant apprentice who will never amount to anything. Especially if you don't change your attitude." Kestrelpaw took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. The fur on her shoulders became flat again as she looked at Scorchpaw.

Scorchpaw grew angry again, growling, "I'll prove you wrong. Just watch your back from now on. Mabye you will fall of the edge next time and won't be able to get back up." Scorchpaw smiled maliciously at Kestrelpaw, then trotted ahead, getting some distance between themselves.

Anger came upon Kestrelpaw again at Scorchpaw's comment. "We'll see about that." She meowed, Then she ran up behind the other she cat and jumped on her back. Her anger got the best of her, and she began to scratch at her clanmate's back. And the worst part was, she actually wanted to hurt Scorchpaw.

Scorchpaw yowled out and rolledtossing Kestrelpaw away. She stood and growled, lunging with bared fangs and sinking then into the other apprentices shoulder, using hind claws to lash at the she-cats chest.
