SPECKLEPAW! GET YOUR APPRENTICE BUTT OVER HERE!

[Darkstar]

SHE SITS DOWN WAITING FOR HER APPRENTICE TO SHOW UP. SHE TOLD HER THAT SHE WOULD BE WAITING FOR HER HERE, BUT THAT ISN'T SAYING THAT SHE WON'T BE LATE. SHE WAITS PATIENTLY CONSIDERING THE MOOD SHE IS IN. TOO MANY APPRENTICES AND NOT ENOUGH WARRIORS. EVEN SHE HAS TO TAKE ON AN APPRENTICE. SHE LOOKS OFF IN THE DISTANCE WHILE WAITING.

[Specklepaw]

*comes rushing twards Darkstar*

[Darkstar]

SHE STANDS UP. "CONGRATULATIONS ON BECOMING AN APPRENTICE, SPECKLEPAW. ARE YOU READY TO BEGIN YOUR TRAINING?"

[Specklepaw]

*nods head* yes!

[Darkstar]

(-.- THIS IS MY LEAST FAVORITE PART. TRAINING.)

SHE EYES SPECKLEPAW UP. DARKSTAR WONDERS HOW GOOD OF A WARRIOR THIS CALICO CAT WOULD BECOME. JUST BY LOOKING AT HER, SHE WASN'T SURE. "WHY DON'T WE START WITH SOMETHING EASY, CATCHING PREY. I'LL FOLLOW YOU, YOU TRY TO FIND SOMETHING." SHE WAITED FOR HER APPRENTICE TO FIND A SCENT. THIS WAS DARKSTAR'S FAVORITE THING TO DO WHILE SHE WAS AN APPRENTICE. FINDING THE PREY AND CATCHING IT MADE HER FEEL LIKE SHE WAS DOING SOMETHING FOR THE GOOD OF THE CLAN. NOT THAT SPARRING WASN'T, BUT SHE JUST LIKE CATCHING THE PREY BETTER.

[Specklepaw]

*sniffs around to pick up the sent of prey, and finds the sent of a small mouse, she follows the sent and finaly see the mouse, she creeps up to it, not making a sound, she gets closer and closer and finaly pounces on the tiny creatcher*

[Darkstar]

SHE FOLLOWED BEHIND SPECKLEPAW WHILE SHE WAS CATCHING THE MOUSE. "WELL DONE SPECKLEPAW. NOW TELL ME, WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE ONE A HUNTING PATROL AND NEEDED TO GO GET MORE PREY IF YOU CAN."

[Specklepaw]

I would ask some other cats for help if I need it

[Darkstar]

DARKSTAR HOLDS BACK A SMILE THAT ALMOST CREPT ACROSS HER FACE. "OR, YOU CAN DO THE EASIER THING AND JUST BURY IT AND COME BACK FOR IT WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED HUNTING. HOW DOES THAT SOUND?"

[Specklepaw]

*smacks her own forhead with paw* That sounds easyer

[Darkstar]

DARKSTAR LETS THE SMILE SHE WAS HOLDING BACK CREEP ACROSS HER FACE. "YES. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BURY IT, SO DON'T FORGET TO DO THAT. ANYWAYS, SHALL WE TRY TO CATCH SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM A MOUSE?"

[Specklepaw]

*removes her paw from her forhead* sure

[Darkstar]

"OKAY THEN. DO YOU SMELL ANYTHING?"

[Specklepaw]

*smells for another sent, she finds a sent for bird, she follows it untill she sees a little black bird, she crept up to it slowly, trying not to me a move that's to fast and scare the bird away, and she final pounces on it, not let the feathered creatcher get away*

[Darkstar]

"VERY GOOD, MY LITTLE APPRENTICE. WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE THE PREY BACK TO THE CAMP NOW?"
