Hawkpaw's Assessment

[Jac]

Squirrelpelt flicked her tail as she stood at the entrance to the camp. She was waiting for her apprentice and contented herself by licking a few bits of girt out of her coat.

This was it. It was Hawkpaw's assessment. If he succeeded, Fireclan would be proud to present a new warrior to their ancestors.

[Hawktalon]

*Pads in nervously*

"Hello, Squirrelpelt I'm ready."

[Jac]

"Alright then. Do you know the rules?"

[Hawktalon]

"No, I do not."

[Jac]

"You are to go hunt alone. I will be watching you, but you will not see me. I'll be judging your performance, you see?" Her gaze was lifted to the sky, "The weather is clear, and the hunting should be good. Now, Good luck."

[Hawktalon]

"Alright, I'll see you after the Assesment I guess."

*Heads into the woods*

[Jac]

Squirrelpelt follows, keeping to the shade then she leaped into a nearby tree and started to clamber up, all the while keeping an eye on her apprentice.

[Hawktalon]

*Hawkpaw pads along the trees and grass trying to scent any prey. He opens his mouth and scents vole he spots nibbiling on something checking that he is downwind before pouncing and killing the unsuspecting prey. He buried and looked around wondering if Squirrelpelt was already watching him. He moved on to find more prey.*

[Jac]

Her gaze followed his pelt, tracing his path through the forest. His vole was well caught, she thought. She had trained him well on that.

[Hawktalon]

*Hawkpaw had scented a Squirrel this time he would be catching one by himself. The prey was moving around a bush looking for food. He creeped up on the unsuspecting prey. He must have done something wrong as he pounced because the squirrel seemed to hear him but it heard him to late and he got it just as it was racing away. He buried it and moved on.

[Jac]

Well done, she muttered in her head. She climbed down and started to stalk Hawkpaw, acting as if he were her mouse, only she wasn't going to attack, only watch from another angle. She remained downwind so he wouldn't scent her.

[Hawktalon]

*This time there was a bluebird that was to be caught it was pecking around on the ground. He was creeping up on it as the bird was pulling out a worm to eat. While it was distracted he caught it from its backside killing it.*

(Is that enough or do I catch more.)

[Jac]

[ That will be enough ]

Squirrelpelt purred to herself as she watched Hawkpaw kill his third piece of prey. She stepped out of the shadows, "Come now. You have caught enough. Collect your prey and meet me back at camp. I'll report your performance to Darkstar."

[Hawktalon]

*Filled with pride he gathered his Prey and returned to camp.*

[Hazelpath]

Watches from the shadows and thinks wow i hope i do that well!
