Submission 2/5
(Btw I noticed my first hasn't been added, can someone please list Thinpaw down for Lightclans training?

Thinpaw tiptoed silently through the grass, private training lessons had turned into more of a thinking process then anything, Training was getting easier alone, and sometimes he wondered if the two Hollowclan cats murmurings and training where showing up to be like actual sessions. Everything seemed in order, Lavendertail was never around to teach him, every time she was in camp at the same time as Thinpaw the shecat would exchange a hello then vanish into the bracken.

It seemed only fair that he was aloud a mentor.. Oaktrust and Coonface had proved to be a great family, and great teachers. They had raised him like the kin he never possessed in LightClan, and they all agreed that if the day ever came where they should meet in battle, they would remain loyal to their clans, no matter what the cost.

   Today Oaktrust was showing him some battle moves, Simple enough, but in his weakened state from the flood moving swiftly under the huge toms haunches wasn't the easiest thing to do.
   "No! not that way!" The long haired tom pointed a red paw to Thinpaws tail. "You need to keep your tail low and move faster! if you dont its an easy way for me to reach over and injure you."
Thinpaws amber eyes narrowed.
   "What if i swerve between your legs? that way my tail would be in motion and harder to grab."
   Oaktrust processed this, Green eyes meeting with amber.
   "hm, That may work, lets give it a go."
  The brown tom reared up, lowered to a point where Oaktrust couldnt see his paws behind him, as his mock mentor turned Thinpaw darted as quick as he could, muscles aching from jumping up and crouching down all afternoon. as he dove under the cats paws he swerved right dashing for his head and sliding just out of Oaktrusts reach, raining his balance and cuffing him over the head and down the face, as though his claws had been extended to leave a searing pain. Oaktrust yowled out, hardly containing himself from laughter.
   Coonface's Green eyes glared out from a holly bush. "I think you two have "trained" enough today, why not give Thinpaw some time to get back to his clan before Nightfall?"
The old tan tom stood proud his banded tail curling neatly around two hefty paws.
   "Why arent you intimidating? Grandpaw Coonface is just upset because he cant move as fast as a Lightclan cat."
   "Silence Oaktrust, you know i enjoy these visits as much as you but every moment we goof off we risk either one of our clans finding out, I sujest you let our young apprentice get back home."
   Thinpaws whiskers twitched moments before he realised just how grave coonface had sounded, it was true. the suns yellow blaze was fading like a sorrow ember against the night sky.
   "Ill see you two again in a few days right?"
Oaktrust answered before the older tom could part his jaws.
   "Of course, keep practicing your moves and we will go over swimming again tomorrow."
   Thinpaw padded away further into his territory with a proud face, he was lucky to have friends willing to travel so far away from their territory and risk their pelts just to be with him. He knew Coonface and Oaktrust had hidden motives. and one day he would discover them, but for now he was just happy to not be alone.
