Iceheart followed her. of course. Why couldn't some cats just know when to let go? Or when to just stop pretending they know her, because they DON'T. Leafpaw scrambled back to her paws and arched her back, hissing like a angered snake. her green eyes glittered angrily.
"What, because you don't think I could handle myself like my amazing parents and siblings? because I'm the runt of the litter. you don't have to say it, but I know I have no redeeming qualities! Before today, my best skill was fighting, so thank you VERY MUCH for showing me just how USELESS I am in general!" she shrieked, the anger always burning in her heart spilling out like hot oil, burning everything it touched.
Leafpaw, in her moment of anger, clawed at Iceheart's face. blood splattered the dark brown fur where her claws ripped skin. the tortoiseshell-and-white she-cat whipped around and ran away, tears now running freely. Suddenly, an all familiar scent crashed into her. she hadn't noticed it until she had crashed right into the creature. The weasel drew back it's lips to reveal sharp canine fangs. Leafpaw felt her blood freeze. Iceheart would not be here to help her. no other cat would be around.
but the anger was still there. with a shriek, Leafpaw flung herself at the weasel.

Iceheart
Iceheart hissed when Leafpaw suddenly lashed out and clawed her face. Leafpaw was gone before Iceheart could say anything. Confusion and anger bubbled in her stomach, as well as frustrating worry for the apprentice when she ran off. It took Iceheart a moment to be able to find her scent, as the smell of her own blood near her nose kept getting in the way.
She finally managed to find where Leafpaw had run off to, only to see that she had gotten involved in yet another fight with a predator. She wanted to intervene—Leafpaw had already gotten hurt fighting the adder—but Leafpaw’s frustrating words still echoed in her mind. She hesitated, not sure if she should intervene for the apprentice’s sake or let her attempt to foolishly ‘prove herself.’
The weasel had no such hesitations against Leafpaw. It squealed when Leafpaw leapt onto it and returned the favor by latching onto Leafpaw’s shoulder, digging its teeth in.
The weasel used Gripping Bite, dealing 7 damage and costing 15 SP. It is clamped on for 1 more turn!
Leafpaw 1/20 HP (-7) 28/60 SP
Weasel 10/20 HP (slightly adjusted because you forgot the jumping strike bonus :D) 120/135 SP (-15)
the weasel's teeth dug into her hindleg with such force, Leafpaw almost cried. she shook her leg. it clang on. terror settled into her heart. she was going to die. the weasel's black, beady eyes starred at her. time seemed to slow. Swiftheart's blue eyes shone like stars in her mind. Echomist's tortoiseshell fur flashed in the shadows. Rosepaw's voice, loud and clear, rang in her head. she wasn't going to die, not yet. she'd bring on one them down when she does. they deserved it.
Leafpaw bit the weasel in turn and clawed it's body desperately. please. it had to work.
Leafpaw used Snap and Desperate Blows, dealing 6(+4+1)dmg and -12SP
Leafpaw 1/20 HP 16/60 SP (-12)
Weasel KO pending -1/20 HP (-11) 120/135 SP

The weasel squealed at Leafpaw’s claws and teeth, until it went limp under her paws. Iceheart let out a soft breath, her hesitation lost to the wind as Leafpaw finished off the predator. The apprentice looked basically dead on her feet, though, and so Iceheart made her way down to meet Leafpaw.
“Congratulations,” Iceheart mewed, but her voice was flat and simmering with anger. Blood still stained the fur near her nose. “That does not excuse your behavior, though. I don’t care how angry you are. You do not turn your claws onto another clanmate, especially a warrior much older than you. You do not ignore the guidance of a warrior while you’re still an apprentice. Do you think I want to watch you get killed by predators? What will that accomplish? Nothing but your death.” Iceheart lifted her chin and glowered down at Leafpaw. “At this rate, you will never earn your warrior name.”
Warrior name? what warrior name? Leafpaw turned on Iceheart. her green eyes were almost cold. "Do you know what I was named after?" she asked softly. "I was named after Leaffall, the one time where every clan held their breath, wishing that it had not come, because it would always lead to cold hungry months of torture, and wails of goodbyes to the cats that should not have gone. what will any cat name me? I don't want a warrior name. I don't want to even live."

Iceheart stared at Leafpaw with disguised alarm. She couldn’t tell how much of what she just said was the dramatics of a young apprentice or a serious threat. Between Leafpaw and Vixenpaw and the weight on Honeypaw she’d observed as of late, she was beginning to wonder how many of ShadowClan’s apprentices were struggling with such dark thoughts. She brushed aside the worry to just focus on Leafpaw for the time being.
“Leaffall is also a time when the harsh heat cools off and the leaves change to a beautiful color that is unlike any other season,” Iceheart mewed patiently. “Leaffall is not leafbare—it is a time of respite and preparation. I was not close with your mother, but I’m sure if I went to Mistyfalcon, he would not say that that was the reason you earned your name.” She sighed and shook her head. “Leafpaw—you are very injured. We should get you back to the medicine den so your wounds can be looked over.”
[OOC: Iceheart will have to speak with Mistyfalcon about Leafpaw lol]
Leafpaw sensed that perhaps Iceheart was getting worried. Was she serious about seeing mistyfalcon? she did not need that elderly tom sticking his nose in her business too! "okay, lets go," she said meekly, hoping that Iceheart would calm down and not report this to her father. fat chance, she thought miserably.
