The First Catch (Tagged)

Fiction

Emberpelt lead the young apprentice out of the camp. Cinderpaw bounced after her. Emberpelt meowed back, "Come on! It's time for your first hunting lesson!"  Emberpelt wanted them to get pretty far before they started hunting. 

OOC: Sorry it took me a while to make this. I have a lot of threads going on right now.

OOC: that's okay, I'm sure I'll be the same way after a few more posts
Cinderpaw couldn't wait for hunting, she almost squealed with delight. Her parents had always said she would be a great hunter because of her quick reflexes and long legs. The gray apprentice flicked her ears and bounced after Emberpelt. "So do we hunt fish only? Are there any other prey on the beach? Can we go in the jungle to hunt? Did you know that there are giant cats in the jungle? Or at least that's what the elders told me. Do you think it's true?" Cinderpaw was exploding with excitement.

Emberpelt purred, "No we don't just eat fish. We eat whatever we can get our paws on." She looked back at the energetic apprentice, "We will start with fish, because that is what we mainly eat, but it is not the only thing." Emberpelt started to jog through the territory, "Make sure when we get close to fishing spot to stay quiet! We don't want to scare away the fish!"

OOC: Thanks!

Cinderpaw nodded and crouched a bit, quietly moving forward. She seemed calm, but her ears were flicking like crazy. The apprentice realized they were and tried to make them still. Then she stopped and watched her mentor catch a fish (you can type how she does it and stuff, sorry if I'm godmoding just a little bit...)

Emberpelt crouched over the water, and whispered to Cinderpaw, "Make sure your shadow doesn't hang over the water," Suddenly Emberpelt's eyes flashed towards a fish. It was right there in front of her. She pulled back her paw, and shot it into the water. She pulled her paw out and there was a glistening fish. "See easy," she meowed quietly, "Now it is your turn to try. Just find the fish you want to cat. Nothing to deep we don't want you to fall in and scare the fish, and hook it on your claws." Emberpelt walked back so Cinderpaw could try.

OOC: That's alright. I do it too!

Cinderpaw walked up a little faster then nessecary and looked into the ocean/sea. The gray she cat twitched every once in a while, like she thought going for it but decided not to. Finally, quick as a rabbit, she flashed out a paw and held up a fish. "I did it! I did it I did it! Can you believe it Emberpelt, I actually caught a fish!" Cinderpaw jumped around, fish clamped in her jaws.

Emberpelt's whiskers twitched, "Good job! I'm impressed that was very good for first time! Before  you know it you will be going for the deep fish!" Emberpelt crouched over the water and shot her paw in pulling out a large fish, "The deep fish are larger and tastier, but you have to be a skilled hunter to catch them." Emberpelt laughed a little, "You also have to have long enough legs to reach them."

"Haha! Briarspring and Ambercloud always said I would be a good hunter!" Cinderpaw grinned, fish still in her mouth. (Briarspring and Ambercloud are her parents) "So should we bring these back?" the gray apprentice finally dropped her fish by the other two.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EMBER YAAAAAAAY PRESENTS AND OTHER STUFF

Emberpelt laughed. The little apprentice was a funny she-cat. "First we need to bury them, so we can pick them up after we see the MidnightClan boarder." Emberpelt started to dig a hole for the fish, "Make sure you remember where you left them. We don't want to turn up to camp empty pawed." Emberpelt stepped to the side, "We want to dig two holes. If a animal finds one. Then we still have the other. You dig this hole." The digging two holes wasn't really something most mentors taught to their apprentices, but this was something she had found useful in her time.

"That's pretty smart. Do you ever wonder who came up with hunting and fighting techniques and stuff?" the apprentice continued talking wile she dug the hole. The gray she cat dropped a fish in and covered the hole up again. "Wait did I do that right?" she flicked her white ears.

"I've never really though about who came up with this." Emberpelt considered for a moment and responded, "I personally wouldn't know much about it. See, I wasn't born in the clan. I didn't spend my kit hood hearing stories from elder. I spent them with my family, and only with them. We didn't socialize with other cats much." She moved forward, and her pace turned to a trot. "Follow me Cinderpaw!"

[Deleted]

Cinderpaw looked at her mentor with wonder. "Were you really not born in SunsetClan? Wiat were you a loner? Was your family loners? Did you have any siblings?" Cinderpaw asked as they hurried to the MidnightClan border. "I've always wanted a littermate! Was it really fun being a loner? Oh thats so cool!" the gray apprentice leaped.
OOC: sorry I haven't responded in a long time. Christmas and family and stuff!

[Deleted]

OOC: That's alright as long as you return! I'm sorry though I have to go offline. I'll be back on tomorrow.

Emberpelt's eyes drooped, "Its hard being a loner, but you have only you to look after. You have a life of peace, and yes," She looked at her apprentice, "I did have siblings. I had two brothers, but I lost them. I was looking for them when I found the clan. I never really did find them."

[Deleted]

Cinderpaw stopped talking for a moment, thinking hard. "I m sorry," she said, "I didn't know." Her white ears perked up as she smelled something weird. "What's that?" She sniffed again. Her eyes widened as they neared some trees. "Is that the MidnightClan border?" The gray apprentice asked excitedly, back to her usual enthusiastic self.

OOC: Oops! it's supposed to be the twolegs boarder. Sorry I have been working with my LeafClan apprentice recently, and I kind of got the two confused.

Emberpelt set back off on a jaunty pace, "Yes Cinderpaw. It is right over here!" She lead the apprentice over to the boarder.
