Pure and Simple

"What really happened to Dad?" Fieldpaw whispered.

"No cat knows." Infinite sadness echoed in Hawkstar's voice. "He would've been proud of you."

Fieldpaw digested that for a moment. Then she said, "I'll find him. If he's alive, I'm going to bring him home."

Either rabbits are getting faster or I'm slowing down, Bluestripe thought.

"Never mind," laughed Badgerclaw. "There are more where that came from!"

"Don't you ever get frustrated?"

"Not since I was a kit." The younger tom splayed his forepaws in a stretch. "Come on, Stripe ol' boy. Let's head for home."

Stripe ol' boy? When did he start being so cheeky? Bluestripe sighed and turned towards home. He's right, though. They'll be wanting a younger deputy.

"Where did you last see him?" Fieldpaw asks snuggling up to her mom

"Oh, It was a long time ago, i cant really remember" Hawkstar replies looking at her

"It had to be after I was born though, right?"

"Yes, it was. I just can't understand his reasoning."

"He just ran off? he wouldn't have done that, he couldn't have," she says getting tired. "It wasn't... anything to do with my paws?"

"No one really knows what happened, and I'm sure it wasn't anything to do with you" Hawkstar says, snuggling closer to her kit.

"You do that, just remeber, you have to find him first."

Hi, here to review. :) Okay, so I like this story. It's cool! But there are a few grammar errors.

Nitpicks:
Blue = should be caps. Red = Add comma/periods, other things.

Stori wrote:"Where did you last see him?" Fieldpaw asks#FF0000 ">, snuggling up to her mom#FF0000 ">.

There should be a comma after "asks" and a period after the sentence ends. :)

"Oh, It was a long time ago, i #FF0000 ">cant really remeber#FF0000 ">,"

The first letter in "it" shouldn't be a capital. That "I" in blue should be a capital. Can't should "wear" an apostrophe... xD And you should add a comma before the diolog ends.

hawkstar replys#FF0000 ">, looking at her#FF0000 ">.

Hawkstar is a name, therefor the first letter should be a capital. There should be a comma after "reply", and a period that closes the sentence. xD


"It had to be after i was born though, right?"

All I's should be capital letters if they are a pronoun.


"He just ran off? he wouldn't have done that, he couldn't have#FF0000 ">," she says#FF0000 ">, getting tired#FF0000 ">.


Great job! Keep writing!

The bigger the issue, the smaller you write. Remember that. You don’t write about the horrors of war. No. You write about a kid’s burnt socks lying on the road. You pick the smallest manageable part of the big thing, and you work off the resonance.
