Hawkstar gaped at him in amazement. "You were askin...I was expla...the.." he spluttered, his calm compose slipping momentarily. "Oh, whatever," he grumbled, regaining his compose. "Let's keep going. Keep an eye out for any prey, and do your best. We've got cats to feed."

 

"That includes you two," he added sharply, at Sunpaw and Mudpaw, who were now running amuck underneath the pine trees.

Foxpaw come out of the den with a smile on her face.

She saw her mentor Moonstar, she went to walk over to her.

But she saw her move to the den and her ears went flat against her face.

"I guess, not today then" she meow to her self.

 

* * *

 

Sandpaw, got up on her achy paws.

She saw muddpaw, she saw the pray she bought back.

"oh, well did you catch all of that?" She asked in surprise.

Moonstar had run to see the kits, and was happy they were all safe.

As quickly as she could, she left, and went back to her den.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Foxpaw.

Taking a deep breath, she trotted over to her.

"Hello little one. Ready for some training?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Muddpaw nodded shyly.

"I did. Just today. Lionclaw said he was gonna tell Spottedstar!"

She meowed proudly, puffing her chest out.

"Do you think she'll be proud?"


BANG! BANG! BANG!

Foxpaw nodded, and bowed her head.

“Y…yes Moonstar” she said padding over to her.

Sandpaw looked at her friend with wide eyes.

“She’s going to be more then proud, you’ve done so well” she said excited for her.

She sat down curling her tail round her paws.

“You’re better hunter then most of warriors!” she purred in enjoyment.

Ashpaw mewed in laughter, putting his tail in the air.

"Yes, all mighty Hawkstar!"

Hawkstar sneaked silently through the bushes as the apprentices followed after him, pausing only to hiss to Mudpaw to "keep it down" after Mudpaw blundered right into a thorny bush and yelped loudly enough to send a flock of birds flying. The small hunting party mostly-silently made its way through the densely packed forest, catching prey as they went, with Hawkstar keeping a close eye on Mudpaw and Sunpaw - after all, they really needed the improvement. He was glad, at least, that Ashpaw had shown some promise, even if he was the most insolent apprentice Hawkstar had ever seen.

 

(Not sure what to do at this point. We can either say we caught some st00fs and headed back or something interesting can happen on patrol)

(Buck you, I'm awesome)

Ashpaw had killed a few animals on their hunting party, he most kills out of the group surprisingly. He kept his pace with Hawkstar and said,

"Should we head back now? The other two seem tired."

Cheetahpaw smelled the air and caught the scent of the shrew. He crouched down and crept forward until he saw it among the leaves. He tensed his hind legs and unsheathed his long claws, leaping forward. The shrew didn't know what hit it before his hung limp in his jaws. He looked up proudly at his mentor.

(Never said you weren't ;))

 

Hawkstar looked back at the other two apprentices, who were dragging themselves wheezing along the ground. He frowned. "Maybe I pushed you three a little too hard. Sorry to all of you, I just wanted to make sure the clan got enough to eat."

Mudpaw and Sunpaw sat up instantly, ears perked. "So we can stop now?" they both asked simultaneously.

Hawkstar gave a wry smile. "Yes. Walk back to camp, and collect your prey on the way."

The two instantly sank to the ground with a groan.

Ashpaw looked at the other two apprentices with shame.

*Are they really that tired?*

As they walked away, Ashpaw leaned close to Hawkstar.

"They barely caught a single mouse."

Hawkstar laughed. "Some cats just don't have the energy. I can see those two aren't used to having to do things by themselves. Well, that's a skill all apprentices will have to learn if they're going to be warriors."

 

"Hurry up," he added to Mudpaw and Sunpaw, as they struggled to keep up. "If you two struggle this much on a single hunt, you're not going to make very good warriors."

 

A half-hour later the familiar scent of the Shadowclan camp greeted them as Hawkstar padded into the clearing with a mouthful of fresh-kill. "Elders, nursing queens, kits, and the badly hurt get first priority," he said to the three apprentices as he headed for the center. He dropped the prey in the center of the clearing, and began licking his paw.

Spottedstar looked at the young cat.

“You’ve done well, take my mouse to the elders you can enjoy your hunt” she purred with pride.

She started to head back, “remember, the rest of the clan must be fed before your self” she told Cheetahpaw.

(Am I supposed to know or not?)

 

Hawkstar blinked. "Erm..." he muttered, racking his brain.

(No, you aren't xD)

Ashpaw kept his head faced towards the ground.

"Then how was I found? You've told me I was just found by a searching party, but WHO am I?"

Hawkstar shrugged helplessly. "I'm sorry, Ashpaw," he said regretfully. "All I know is that Reedtail's party found you and brought you here. To be completely honest, I'm not quite sure why Nightstar didn't throw you back out," he added. "He never struck me as the type to take in outsiders."

Hawkstar frowned. "I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help," he said calmly. "But that's really all I know."

The return of one of the border patrols prompted his attention, and he rose up and padded away towards the entrance.

Cheetahpaw beamed with pride, "Yes Spottedstar!" he newer happily, taking the mouse and shrew and padding back to the camp. He added the shrew to the fresh kill pile, then took the mouse as well as a rather large rabbit to the elders to share. He dropped the rabbit off and happily greeted the elders before heading back off again to bring food to the queens and other cats, a bounce in his stride. Today was a good day, and he was enjoying it as usual. He grabbed his shrew once more and went to look for one of his apprentice friends to eat with.

Spottedstar padded over to her den grabbing some fresh kill on the way.

She walked into the den and began to eat the mouse she grabbed.

Laying in her bed she start to groom her self.

Sandpaw see a plump pigeon grabbing that she padded back to the tree stump near the apprentices den.

She laid down on the soft grass in the shadow of the tree stump, as she began to eat the pigeon.
