Rowanpaw training session #2

Rowanpaw stared out of the apprentices den, waiting for Silverbreeze to come get him for training. Why did she have to be so bossy and commanding to him. I could probably beat her in a fight if I had too. She had said today they were hunting. Great. Battle training is being replaced by hunting.

[Sakuratree]

Silverbreeze marched into the apprentice with a bright smile on her face. "Rowanpaw! It's time for hunting training! We'll meet by the heat pool." she instructed while slowly walking out of the apprentice den. Upon reaching the clearing, Silverbreeze broke out in a sprint and dashed to the heat pool. The breeze hit her face inviting her to run faster and faster. Her paws moved quickly not missing a single paw step. In about a minute, she arrived at the heat pool barely out of breath. "Now where is my apprentice," she huffed searchning her surroundings for Rowanpaw. "This should definitely improve his stamina and speed."

OOC: I didn't get the tag but I still saw it

[Asher]

Rowanpaw hissed in annoyance. "Here she goes, running off again." He raced after her, remembering where the heat pool was from his previous training session. "I guess learning the territory was worth something." he muttered. He finally busted into the clearing with the heat pool. "I'm here now." he called to his mentor, "You really should warn cats before you run off like that."

[Sakuratree]

"It's for your training," she simply mewed. "You want to be the best. Don't you? Anyway, I will show you the correct stance and you will copy." Silverbreeze crouched down, bringing her belly close to the ground. Her tail was low and her head rested on top of her forepaws. As fast as lightning, she struck a leaf, catching it in a blink of an eye. She looked over to Rowanpaw. "Now you try," she instructed while pushing a new leaf with her front paw in front of the young apprentice. "I'll correct your form if there is something missing."

[Asher]

Rowanpaw snorted. His Dark Forest mentor had already taught him this. Rowanpaw crouched down, letting his belly brush the grass. He kept his tail low, but not quite touching the ground. He darted forward, grabbing the leaf in his mouth. He tore off the tip, pretending it was the prey's neck. Then, he smirked and looked at Silverbreeze. "Like that?" he asked sarcastically.

[Sakuratree]

Silverbreeze tilted her head. How could an apprentice who never hunted before get it perfectly in one go? There is something suspicious going on. I need to find out what it is. "Have you been training with someone else?" She defensively mewed in a harsh tone. There was something different with this cat and Silverbreeze had to uncover it soon and somehow or something can happen to her. Or even worse, her clan.

[Asher]

Rowanpaw smirked again. She doesn't see how I can do it! "It must be instinct." he growled coolly. She can't know who I train with at night. Then, she would tell Briarstar! "Have I finally impressed you?" he asked. That'll stop her from bossing me around! Now, she has to listen to me!

[Sakuratree]

"Not yet," Silverbreeze mewed flatly. "It will take a lot more than that." She was a cat that was hard to impress. "Do it again. but, this time faster," she intructed. "If you want to catch actual prey, you have to be fast." This cat needed to be taught respect. She was a warrior let alone the fact that she was his mentor. Rowanpaw had to learn to respect her. That was what she was trying to train him.

[Asher]

Rowanpaw rolled his eyes. "If it makes you feel so much more in charge." he said sarcastically. He crouched down and repeated the process, crouching, smelling for the wind direction, and pouncing. "There." he said. Suddenly, he heard a mouse scuffling nearby. He smiled. Perfect... He crouched and sniffed. The wind was blowing toward the mouse. Rowanpaw snaked around the mouse, quick as a fox. Then he moved forward and snipped the mouse's neck. He dropped the prey at his mentor's paws. "See. I can hunt. Time for battle?"

[Sakuratree]

Silverbreeze examined the mouse. "Good work. I will train your fighting skills when I think you're ready," she stated. "Right now you are not." Silverbreeze unsheathed her claws and caught a mouse that scampered right in front of her with one of her claws. "It seems you are underestimating your mentor," she spoke. Silverbreeze stood facing her apprentice. "You are not ready yet," she mewed calmy.

[Asher]

Rowanpaw huffed in annoyance. He had finally learned to ignore Silverbreeze's bossy comments. All I want to do is fight! "What are we doing now?" he asked her. Great StarClan if I have to catch one more mouse I will go insane! Rowanpaw sat down and stared at his mentor, waiting for her answer.

[Sakuratree]

"Now, you will catch some more prey to feed the clan," she smirked. "After that we'll call it a day." Silverbreeze needed to show her apprentice who was boss. To do that, she needed to make sure he understood that he has responsibilities to his clan. She crouched down spotting a squirrel scampering on the ground. In less than a second she pounced quickly killing it. Prey was hard to find this Leafbare. They needed whatever they could find.

[Asher]

Rowanpaw sighed in exasperation. "Fine. I'll hunt." He padded off into the woods to look for some prey. but first, he buried his mouse under a tree stump. A rabbit leaped out of the bushes. Rowanpaw hared after it. It looks skinny but it'll do. He finally pounced on it and nipped its neck in one swift movement. After burying it, he set off to keep hunting.

[Sakuratree]

Silverbreeze huffed at the prey he had caught. "Great job. Let's go back. In fact tomorrow we will start fighting training. With that I have a surprise for you," she explained. Her new apprentice was Foxpaw and from now until they become warriors they would train together. "Don't forget your prey. The clan needs it now more than ever," she stated. Silverbreeze picked up her prey and began to walk back to camp.

OOC: Foxpaw (female) is Silverbreeze's new apprentice. So, they will train together on whatever they both haven't done yet if that's okay.

[Asher]

FINALLY!!!!! Battle Training! I'm so glad this wait is finally over! "Thank you Silverbreeze!" he yowled. No more hunting or exploring. It was finally time to do what Rowanpaw did best... fight. I would fight over hunt any day! Fighting against Foxpaw would be easy. He had beaten her earlier in fighting and he could do it again.

OOC: oh my gosh!! They are going to HATE training together! I love it!!
