Training Day (tagged)

Honeyrain sat near the Apprentice Den, waiting for Fallenpaw. It was just after dawn and seemed like the perfect time to start with a hunting lesson. Not only that but Honeyrain couldn't stand being in the cave walls any longer. While she enjoyed TalonClan, she still wondered if it was truly the right place for her. Lost in her own thoughts (something that was becoming a regular thing) Honeyrain's tail tip twitched back and forth absently. Where else could she go? She refused to be apart the loner life again. 
Shaking her pelt out vigorously the honey colored she-cat licked her whiskers and walked right up to the mouth of the Apprentice Den. "Fallenpaw?" Her voice was quiet as she whispered out her apprentice's name. Honeyrain was a bit earlier than she had said, but now she was itching to be on the way. The air was crisp and her muscles screamed to be moving. Besides, prey would be retreating back into their dens soon. The Clan needed to be fed and stocked up.

Fallenpaw. Fallenpaw stirred at the voice. She was still half-asleep and barely making an effort to move. Fallenpaw, it’s time to get up. “Just a little longer mum.” She yawned.

“Fallenpaw?” What? The she-cat opened her yellow eyes to find that it wasn’t her mother but her mentor Honeyrain. Or perhaps…Fallenpaw shook her head. She had been dreaming again.

“I’m coming!” she called, hastily rising to her paws and scrambling out. Her unkempt fur was ruffled by the chilly morning breeze and she fluffed it out more until she looked like a winter hare. The seasons were always harsher in TalonClan. The mountain was a hot pit in Greenleaf and an ice cave in Leaf-bare. “Where to first?” she asked, teeth chattering slightly. but excitement was evident in her; her whiskers were quivering and paws itching to take off!

Hearing the word 'mum', Honeyrain felt a something small stir inside of her. She had never been called that before, not even accidentally. Taking a moment to gather herself, the TalonClan warrior cleared her throat. "At least you're easy to wake up." Giving the she-cat a wink, the warrior backed out of her way and made way for the camp entrance. "I figure we can warm up going out to the More Fields and trying our luck out there to hunt." She knew it was a trek to make, but that's why training started early today. Besides learning part of the boundaries today wouldn't hurt. They would revisit it later, however. 
Picking up the pace Honeyrain trotted out of camp and made the necessary leaps and bounds to get out of TalonClan's stony walls. This would be nice! Distraction was something she needed and so was feeling like a warrior again.

((I can make the new thread in the territory if you'd like, or you can ^^ I was also thinking that we could keep this thread open and when training is done, we can come back here and Honeyrain and Fallenpaw could talk about how it went? maybe even open the thread up and see who wants to join it. ))

"At least you're easy to wake up." Honeyrain winked, making her way towards the entrance. "I figure we can warm up going out to the More Fields and trying our luck out there to hunt." Fallenpaw listened intently as she tried to keep pace with the longer-legged cat. She was excited to be heading out on her first day! Many of the apprentices were stuck doing chores. Her thoughts aside, she began to notice that her mentor had quickened her stride. Fallenpaw pushed forward, matching her gait to Honeyrain's and following each leap, jump and step out into the unexplored territory.

Nostalgia struck. She remembered trying to sneak out many times before...but after her mothers disappearance her father had made it clear that there would be no tolerance for kittens who stepped out of the camp. And she understood why.

Ooc:// That sounds great! Could you start the new thread? (I've been flooded with work in just a few minutes Dx )
