Feral Heart

Frostpath sighed, looking up at the sky. He closed his eyes, remembering all his past apprentices, and lash out at a tree in sudden rage " Why is it I can barely protect the one's i'm supposed to look after?!" he hissed running through the trees and the snow covered forest " Why why WHY!?" He wasnt looking were he was going and ran right into a tree " huff!" he backed up and staggered a few tail lenghts then with a hiss took off again. Suddenly his foot gave way beneath him, and with a yowl he fell over, feeling a sharp pain in his leg. He hissed in pain and fury " De ja vue" he growled , managing to pull himself to a sitting position. He grimaced as he looked down at his leg. It was bent sharply at an awkward angle and was that..bone..sticking out? He hissed in pain. It was almost the same as when he hurt himself in his apprenticship. Same leg, same way. not the same spot though. " now how am I supposed to get back?" he growled, trying to ignore the burning, stabbing pain in his bleeding leg. His blood was turning the snow crimson, he remembered the last time this happened, his mentor had carried him back. Frostpath didnt have anyone to help him now, he just sat in the snow, looking down at his leg, his face contorted in pain.

(( I'm so cruel to frostpath DX no this isnt the cripple wound. The wound'll be his eye. This will recover, once his bone is put in position))

((imagine what he'll do when he see's poor frostpath, bloody and half dead in the medicine den))
Frostpath lay down next to featherkit, assuming the kit was asleep. He wondered, how long it would take for the kit to become an apprentice, he was way past ready... He looked at him again and stood up then walked out of the den "I'm going out if anyone needs me" He called over his shoulder as he left the camp. He needed time to think.

((cuz frostpath is mai awesome name!))
((realistic in a sense, considering frostpath has light blue on his underbelly XD))

It wasnt long before frostpath came to a small frozen stream. He sniffed the air hopefully, and his head snapped back down when he spotted movement. He stalked closer to it, tail twitching, just above the ground. It was a mouse, Frostpath could see that it was a scrawny one at that. As he went closer, the mouse suddenly looked right at him. Frostpath froze. mentaly cursing that he had a black dorsal stripe. The mouse bolted, frostpath raced after it, and  right before it could duck into it's burrow under a tree, he lunged, catching it with his paw. Frostpath didnt pay attention to what was in the tree. A bright red bird flew off, sounding an alarm call " Foxdung!" He hissed " Guess i'm done for now.." Frostpath picked up the mouse and went back to his tree to retreive his rabbit, and made his way back to camp. When he got there he set the rabbit and the mouse down on the small fresh kill pile and went over to the medicine cat's den to check on featherkit.

((I might deside to cripple frostpath in a way...he may be the deputy, but I wonder what he'd do without an eye...))

Frostpath's whiskers twitched before he muttered " shoulda checked first..happens every time.." Frostpath turned around, heading for the camp entrance " I'll go see if theres anything out of it's burrow. " he called over his shoulder, before ducking trough the entrance. Once outside, frostpath immediatly started treading carefully, dabbing one paw at the snow carefully before walking. When frostpath was younger, he had stepped in mouse hole, fell wrong, and broke his forelimb. He had recovered, but the memory stayed with him.

Frostpath hesitated, then shrugged, after all, what harm could come of him teaching a kit the proper crouch " Well alright" he grunted, then crouched low to the ground " try to copy me." Frostpath kept his tail just slightly off the ground, not enough to disturb the snow, but not sticking strait up into the air. His ears were flattened slightly " like this. and when you move" He began to move slowly, placing his paws carefully that they didnt make a sound over the snow, his lean muscles rippling smoothly underneath his fur. He stopped, one paw raised slightly, then stood up " think you can do that?" He asked, ear flicking once.
