It was a beautiful newleaf day. However, Dawnwhisker was growling menacingly under her breath. She stormed into the apprentices den. Dawnwhisker called out in a loud voice, "Moonpaw? Are in there?" The light brown she-cat stood silently there. She would not budge until she saw Moonpaw. "It's time for training!" The annoyed she-cat added.

Moon paw looked up almost immediately after her new mentor had entered the den. She quickly stood up and made her way to Dawnwhisker. She decided that it was better not to talk as the other cat seemed on her last nerve and Moonpaw wanted more than anything to stay on Dawnwhisker's good side.

Dawnwhisker watched Moonpaw pad to her. She glanced at the white apprentice before flicking her tail. Dawnwhisker padded out of the camp. The light brown she-cat didn`t wait to make sure that Moonpaw was following her. She decided to teach Moonpaw how to hunt. Dawnwhisker looked for a clear and open space.

Moonpaw fallowed quickly easily keeping up with Dawnwhisker. What will we learn today? She thought eagerly. Again she didn't speak this out loud to her mentor as she didn't want to make her mad. Maybe they would learn to hunt. Or perhaps fight. Most likely she would be shown the territory today.

Dawnwhisker ran like the wind. She has smelled a nice, empty clearing. As much as Dawnwhisker was tempted to teach Moonpaw how to fight, she decided that she could show Moonpaw the territory and teach Moonpaw how to hunt.

Dawnwhisker entered into the clearing. Fairly large. It would have to do. however, it wasn't large enough to teach Moonpaw how to fight. She walked torwards the center of the clearing and mewed, "Moonpaw, show me the hunters crouch," Dawnwhisker ordered.

Moon paw nodded. She crouched down as low as she could get to the ground without her body dragging on the ground. She was careful with her tail, making sure that it fallowed her lead. "Like this?" She asked.

Dawnwhisker absentmindedly flicked her tail in small approval. She muttered something which could not be made out. She looked up. The light brown she-cat smelled the air. She determined some prey was nearby. Most likely a vole. She licked her chops. Dawnwhisker instantly lowered into a hunters crouch. Her tail was straight and moved only to avoid obstacles, so as not to alert prey. The she-cat listened and a small smile creeped up onto Dawnwhisker's face. The she-cat quietly walked forward where the vole was. There it was! A skinny vole. Easy prey. Dawnwhisker mewed very softly, "Try catching it. Keep your weight even on both sides, and, be wary of your surroundings."

Moonpaw nodded as she started stalking to the vole. A twig was in her path. She made sure to drop her paw after she had pasted the twig. She crouched down lower before leaping and landing on the vole. Before it could run away she delivered the killing bite.

Dawnwhisker kept her head high. She wasn't very impressed. The vole was, after all, easy prey. Moonpaw would have a hard time impressing Dawnwhisker, that was for sure.

The light brown she-cat motioned for her apprentice to follow her. Dawnwhisker quietly walked around the territory. After some sniffing, Dawnwhisker spotted a streak of grey scurry on the ground.

She went into a hunter crouch. Dawnwhisker followed the mouse with her eyes, then she pounced. The mouse scurried away but Dawnwhisker wasn't done with it. The light brown cat was faster than the mouse and she quickly put a paw on its tail. She quickly killed the mouse and then came back to her apprentice.

Moonpaw didn't want to impress Dawnwhisker. She simply wanted to learn. She sniffed the air and smelled a dove. It was prey that could be easy enough. It wasn't to hard to hunt and she enjoyed it. She had no clue how hunting could be hard. She knew that voles were easier than other animals, but they weren't that much harder. If she did impress her mentor it would be by accident. She truly didn't want her mentor mad at her no matter what else she did want.
