Training (Sand)

[avatarmai]

It was early, but yet late in the morning it seemed. Last night Dogpaw couldn't sleep, because his other personality, Wolfpaw, had kept him up till late. but that didn't mean he was going to slack off in training. Padding out of the den, Dogpaw gave a yawn, and stretched, his eyes slitted at he peered around camp. Where was Littlespark? Dogpaw looked around camp, first, then finally his mentor came into sight. With a smile, he bounced over to her - not enough to turn Dog on.
"Littlespark, what training are we doing today?" He purred, as he sat in front of his mentor, his tail covering his paws neatly. "Are we hunting or battle training or - ugh - chores?" With the word 'chores' he stuck his tongue out to show how he hated it.

Littlespark had been sitting by the fresh kill pile thinking of what she would teach her apprentice when Dogpaw approach. "We will be hunting today, then we'll patrol the borders," she meowed standing up fluffing out her fur barely keeping her excitement in check.

[avatarmai]

With a smile, Dogpaw got to his paws. "Great!" He said cheerfully, though on the inside he was still worried that Wolfpaw might decide to take over. He didn't leave camp often so it'd be fun to check the borders. As long as Wolfpaw stayed under control. Either way, he got to his paws, and ran to the enterance. "Let's go!"

[Sand]

Littlespark smiled at her apprentice before bounded towards the camp entrance glancing over her shoulder to make sure he was following she wanted to start as soon as possible. She didn't care what others thought of her but she knew that her clan mates thought that he acted to much like a kit.

[avatarmai]

Dogpaw happily jumped behind his mentor, his eyes wide with happiness. Everything was so much bigger outside of camp! but, no, he couldn't let his happiness get the better of him. Tightning his jaw, he ran up beside his mentor, while he tried not to show he was panting - he still wasn't to use to running so much. but Wolfpaw would probably get his body use to it - but that didn't matter. A smirk played on his maw, as he ran beside Littlespark.

Littlespark tasted the air catching the scent of a mouse and stopped motioning for her apprentice to stop moving. Then she dropped into a crouch making she her stomach didn't brush through the ground and that her tail didn't drag through the leaves. When she was close enough she pounced trapping the mouse under her claws killing it with a quick nip to the neck. Then she buried it before turning back to her apprentice catching the scent of a water vole. "What do you smell?" she asked flicking her ears and waited for her apprentice to answer her question.

[avatarmai]

Dogpaw watched silently as his mentor stalked forward. He tried to note everything she did - though it'd probably be obvious that he'd forget something. His eyes widened in amazement as Littlespark got the mouse and buried it. Dogpaw looked at the buried prey, then at Littlespark. "I smell...Mouse...Squirrel..." He opened his mouth more to get a scent. "And...water..." He concluded. The last thing was kind of stupid - he knew that - but might as well put that in.

[Sand]

Littlespark shook her head tasting the air once more and pinpointed the water vole, "There's no squirrel or mouse, over there is a water vole," she meowed pointed to a clump of undergrowth with her tail. "I want you to try and catch that water vole," she meowed blinking.

[avatarmai]

Maybe I mistook the scent. but whatever. but he could feel some anger brushing up his back, just waiting for another thing to go wrong. but he ignored it. Lowering himself to the floor, Dogpaw slowly stalked forward, keeping his tail off the ground, and his eyes focused. Slowly he paced forward, but mistook his paw step and stepped on a leaf that crackled. "Mouse dung!" He hissed, as the water vole came to check it out, then scurried away. but his anger had risen enough that his muscles seemed to steam with heat, as he landed on the water vole in a messy way. Blood was sticking to his claws, as a sly grin turned on his maw.

[Sand]

Littlespark watched his technique and then frowned when she saw the messy way he caught his prey and sighed. "You have very little respect for prey, remember to thank Starclan for the life of the prey," she meowed flicking her ears. "After we hunt we bury the prey so that it won't attract predators," she meowed.

[avatarmai]

"I have plenty respect." Dogpaw muttered to himself, as he turned into his personality Wolfpaw. The greedy cat in Dogpaw's body lifted his prey, then dug a hole and buried it. "Let's get back to hunting, instead of just chatting away like birds." He meowed coldly, as he waited for the female to go ahead.
