Darkened Toad (Closed)

The tom sat alone, on the edge of camp, as he slowly munched on a fish. His fur was white, with black paws and a black tail. From behind, Darkpaw might've looked normal, but once you saw his eyes, you knew he was different. One was a thick, dark blue color, whilst the other was bright gold. He liked to think of it as a metaphor of sorts; the dark blue one symbolized darkness, which stood for Darkpaw's evil family. The other was golden, and he liked to picture it as the goodness that he was filled with. It was stupid, but it meant a lot to the apprentice.

Out of the corner of his eye, Darkpaw saw movement. A dark tabby tom with green eyes...it could be none other than the deputy's son, Toadpaw. Quickly, Darkpaw finished his fish and waited to see if Toadpaw would come over.

Toadpaw looked at Darkpaw, the older apprentice seemed to be staring at him. He padded over "Darkpaw, is it?" he mewed, he would be nice to this cat, he didn't know much about him, he seemed interesting to talk to, he wondered about the toms history, why did he have two different colored eyes?

A smile appeared on Darkpaw's face as the other apprentice padded over. "Yeah, that is my name. You are Toadpaw, I believe?" he asked in reply. Toadpaw didn't seem too bad or stuck up, like Darkpaw knew how some of the leader or deputy-related cats got. "Aren't you the deputy's kid?"

Toadpaw sighed "Ya, my adopted sister is Oakkit, I also have one of the most annoying kits in the litter, you know?" he mewed "Oakkit's ok, not as loud or clumsy" he didn't seem to mean though, surely Darkpaw would know what he was saying "You have littermates?"

Darkpaw let out a huff of air that was like a small laugh. "I just have one; a sister named Honeypaw...do you know her? She's the runt of the two of us, but she's beautiful and very nice. She's all I have, family wise."

Toadpaw smiled, never in his life had he ever heard a apprentice that had such jokes. Then he heard the name Honeypaw, he silently growled I hate that stupid piece of crow-food he thought in anger "Do you know Ripplepaw?" he asked, the she-cat apprentice had been very annoying, same with Darkpaw's sister Honeypaw, Darkpaw might have known Ripplepaw too, maybe he had the same relationship like he had with her.

"Hmm...I can't say I do. I'm not very social with everyone. I try to commit my time to training, so I don't really have time to be friends with the other apprentices." Darkpaw glanced over at Toadpaw and thought he could see some anger inside of the younger apprentice. Does he not like Honeypaw? Does he not like me? Am I doing something wrong?

Toadpaw nodded "Good..." he murmured "Just try and knock some sense into that apprentice, she doesn't know what she's doing most of the time I bet" he mewed looking down then facing up "Honeypaw is a good sister right?" he asked "She's nice?" he had to ask the question.

Darkpaw shrugged. "She seems nice....I mean, I never really have time to spend with her. We talk and go hunting every once in awhile, but that's about it. When we were kits, we were almost best friends, though, and she always stood up for me." He smiled, thinking about the times he and his sister shared. "Why, do you need me to set her straight on something? What did she do? What can I do?"

Toadpaw sighed "Before I was apprenticed they both acted very...Rude" he explained "Now when they are always around me they always growl and hiss" he mewed, he took a lot of things seriously. He did blame it on them and not on him but he always did it, he hoped Darkpaw would believe him.

"Hmm," hummed Darkpaw, deep in thought. Honeypaw was nice, yes, but the tom knew that she could get a bit hot-tempered when she was aggravated, even though he never really saw it. "I will speak with her, Toadpaw, and I will get it straightened out. If she'll listen to anyone, it'd be me." Darkpaw chuckled and continued. "Anyway, I hope that we can be friends in the meantime....I mean, just because Honeypaw is rude to you, it doesn't mean we can't be friends, right?"

Toadpaw nodded "It doesn't change a thing I would think" he agreed "Would you like to share some fresh-kill?" he asked looking over to the pile.

"Oh...I just finished a fish, so I'm not very hungry," Darkpaw replied as he followed Toadpaw's gaze to the overflowing pile of food. It was very big, since the season was in between Newleaf and Greenleaf, and all of the prey were out.

Toadpaw nodded "Ok" he mewed still staring at the pile "I'm just going to get something for myself" he padded over and grabbed a otter ( not really sure if they are able to eat that?) and padded back over to Darkpaw and sat down, he dropped his otter and began to eat. He waited for Darkpaw to start the next conversation.
