"Tell me what you smell, Darkpaw," said Lightningstar. She looked down proudly at her new apprentice.

Darkpaw lifted his nose into the air... "I smell..." He sniffed really hard and wrinkled his nose,"A different cat scent... I'm not used to it..."

((ooc; I don't know which clan borders fern pond, so I'm just gonna say AirClan. ^0^  ) "That would be AirClan, Darkpaw. We are near the border between they're territory and ours. There is one more scent here, a scent that could help feed the clan..." |

Darkpaw sniffed harder than ever and than let out a little squeal. "That hurt my nose... But I did smell something... Mouse? I don't know I think it was... I have never been out in the woods before..."

"Close. That's vole. Now let me show you the hunting crouch," meowed Lightningstar. She dropped down close to the ground. "just mimic my movements, and then stalk toward the source of the sound. When you are close enough to the vole, pounce," Lightningstar leaped into the air and landed silently. "like this!"

Darkpaw nodded and dropped into a 'crouch'. He was lopsided and his pawsteps made noise, unlike Lightningstars. He crept forward and sprang into the air making lots of noise. By the time he landed, the vole was out of sight. "What did I do wrong?" he asked

Lightningstar sighed. "You need to shift your weight equally from side to side, and barely move foward. Balance is the key. You cannot catche prey without balance."

Darkpaw nodded and dropped into a crouch even thought there was no prey. He crept forward, shifting his wieght from side to side. He was still putting to much weight on his left side though. His pawsteps were silent, only making little bits of sound.

"You're doing alot better, Darkpaw," said Lightningstar. "Just shift a little more weight from your left side to the right."

Darkpaw nodded and than thought he heard something in the ferns. He pricked his ears and looked forward and sure enough, there was a mouse sitting in near the ferns chewing on something. Darkpaw dropped into his crouch and stalked forward, walking only a little lopsidedly. The mouse had not detected him when he jumped, for his pawsteps were pure silent. He landed square on the mouse and than screamed, "WHAT DO I DO NOW?" He had excitment and horror in his eyes. He didn't know what the mouse would do, would it hurt him? He held onto it though.

"Just bite it, Darkpaw! End it's life!" Lightningstar bounded over to the mouse and thwacked it with her paw. It fell to the ground, dead. "Just like that."

"WOW! You killed it just like that with your paw!" Darkpaw looked up in amazement at his leader. "Wow..."

"Yes, and I'll teach you that tomorrow, when we continue training. Bring that to the fresh kill pile, Darkpaw." Lightningstar led the young apprentice back to the camp.

Darkpaw nodded and picked up the prey. His mouth wattered as the smell rose into his mouth, if only he could eat it.
TO: Freshkill pile
