Willowfrost felt amusement at his hidden excitement, and shuffled so her paws were closer together. 'I'll tell you what; I'll allow you to choose.' She hummed.
'I can take you out and teach you to hunt, or, you can train with me for a while and I will start showing you to defend yourself.' She flicked an ear, examining the stature of the kit, wondering already how she'd be able to effectively train him.

Thistlepaw widened his eyes. He contemplated both his decisions, weighing on each paw. If he chose battle moves, he would just get sore for whatever was going on tomorrow, but he would know how to properly defend himself. But if he went hunting, he would be bored, but possibly catch his first piece of prey and feed the Clan. "Lets hunt!"

Willowfrost nodded and got to her paws. 'Try and keep up.' She told him, turning and breaking into a quick trot as she headed towards the deeper forest, flicking an ear. She'd show him which scents to pick up on and then just let him roam free and hopefully catch something.

Thistlepaw nodded and happily followed. He tripped over his paws, and almost fell on his face. "So will I learn how to creep up on prey? I learned a little bit from Leafpaw, but I don't know if I can remember it all." Thistlepaw crouched, wiggling his rear, before leaping up at a falling leaf.

Rosebriar saw the new apprentices dismay. "After we collect moss and make sure it's nice and clean for output clanmates maybe we can have our first lesson in hunting too. But we need to make sure it's nice and clean because I know that even you don't want a twig in your nest," she comforted as she lead the way to a place she had found that had extra soft moss. "This is how we gather up the moss, and then we push out all the moisture." She showed the young cat as she helped collect a big was.

Cinderpaw narrowed her eyes before collecting the moss with her mentor. "I guess having nice, fresh moss is good for the Clan," she gave in. She pushed out the moisture of her ball of moss and picked it up in her jaws.

I learned a little bit from Leafpaw, but I don't know if I can remember it all." Thistlepaw crouched, wiggling his rear, before leaping up at a falling leaf. 'Well your pouncing seems fine.' She said, holding back a laugh as he caught it. 'And of course you will. How else will you capture prey?' Finally they arrived in a small clearing which was warm to Willowfrost's heart; her own mentor had trained her here. She flicked an ear. 'Alright. Come here.' Once he was paying attention, she slowly slunk into her creeping position, and showed him how to lightly place his paws so as to make no noise, how to keep his tail lowered just enough to keep his balance, and how her belly was almost touching the ground. Then, she walked away, turned her back on him, and sat on a rock. 'Now, practice sneaking up on and pouncing on me.' She told him, flicking her tail tantalisingly. 'If I hear you... you start again.' |

"This is the first thing I did as an apprentice too," said Rosebriar "but I was not as willing and I didn't check the moss for twigs and stuff and it all ended up in my next." She headed back to camp when Cinderpaw was ready. "We will dig through the moss when we get back to camp so we don't end up getting more twigs and thorns caught in it. Plus the clan will love you for making sure they all have fresh comfy bedding."

Hawkwhisper looked around for someone to talk to or to mess with. She could annoy her brother but there would be time to do that anyway. She remained seated as she went over her options.
Pinefrost was grooming his fur. He didn't really have anything planned but thought about going out to explore for a bit.

Thistlepaw nodded but stayed silent, and shifted down into a crouch. He placed his paws carefully on the ground, keeping his eyes trained on Willowfrost. He was so focused on Willowfrost that he didn't notice the small rock coming up ahead of him. He tripped over the rock and fell flat on his face, his rear in the air. "This is the first thing I did as an apprentice too," said Rosebriar "but I was not as willing and I didn't check the moss for twigs and stuff and it all ended up in my next." She headed back to camp when Cinderpaw was ready. "We will dig through the moss when we get back to camp so we don't end up getting more twigs and thorns caught in it. Plus the clan will love you for making sure they all have fresh comfy bedding." Cinderpaw looked up at Rosebriar. "Are we gathering moss for the whole Clan? That's a lot of cats." She let go of her bundle. "Can I just make my own nest and the medicine cats?" Hawkwhisper looked around for someone to talk to or to mess with. She could annoy her brother but there would be time to do that anyway. She remained seated as she went over her options. Pinefrost was grooming his fur. He didn't really have anything planned but thought about going out to explore for a bit. Crowstripe saw Hawkwhisper and padded toward her. "Isn't that exciting? Two new apprentices! It was about time too." |

Willowfrost burst out laughing, hearing him fall before she saw him. She turned to look at him, amusement in her eyes. 'Be careful of where you place your paws.' She purred. 'Are you alright, little one?'

"I suppose we don't have to do the whole clan's nests just yet but we could break it up and do a den or two in the next couple days so everyone is comfortable. These bundles should get us a few nests and then we can practice hunting." Rosebriar decided.

(Happy New Year everyone! I know I'm super late saying it but better late than never lol)
Foxscar's ears perked as he heard the new apprentices and their mentors. Wanting to stay out of their way, he padded further into the territory before once again smelling the air. His eye narrowed as he picked up the scent of another rabbit. I've got you now, you little bugger... He thought as he crouched and crept towards the scent.

( Oops, didn't notice the clan meeting going on! ) Swiftsky approved of the two new apprentices and their mentors. She knew that Thistlepaw and Cinderpaw would eventually make great warriors, and that Willowfrost and Rosebriar would be excellent mentors. Lingering around camp for a while to look for gossip, conversations, or news, she decided to stop and go back to the medicine cat den to finish up cleaning.

Willowfrost burst out laughing, hearing him fall before she saw him. She turned to look at him, amusement in her eyes. 'Be careful of where you place your paws.' She purred. 'Are you alright, little one?' Thistlepaw nodded, heading to his paws. "Yeah. I just tripped. Stupid rock." Thistlepaw scuffed his paws on the dirt and glanced back up to Willowfrost. "Can I try again?" "I suppose we don't have to do the whole clan's nests just yet but we could break it up and do a den or two in the next couple days so everyone is comfortable. These bundles should get us a few nests and then we can practice hunting." Rosebriar decided. Cinderpaw breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good," Cinderpaw meowed. "it would've taken forever otherwise!" She used her teeth to pick out a twig, keeping her occupied. Hawkwhisper nodded her head in agreement. "The new apprentices are so eager and full of life. I remember being like that." "Me too," Crowstripe purred. "So what were you thinking of doing today? I haven't been n a border patrol in a while, perhaps we could get together another cat and go along the MountainClan border," he suggested. |

'You will keep trying until you get me.' Willowfrost said, blinking at him slowly, and blandly.
She turned her head away, only then allowing a cheerful expression to come onto her face, enjoying training the kit already.

Rosebriar settled down to pick out the thorns she saw in the moss. Cinderpaw sat up. "How did I do?" she asked, rolling her ball of moss towards her mentor. 'You will keep trying until you get me.' Willowfrost said, blinking at him slowly, and blandly. She turned her head away, only then allowing a cheerful expression to come onto her face, enjoying training the kit already. Thistlepaw narrowed his eyes, determination in his expression. He backed up, crouching down and placing his paws carefully and silently on the forest floor. But instead of creeping up on her from behind, he turned his body and headed for the nearest tree, scaling it easily; having practiced in the camp, and positioned himself on the branch above Willowfrost, waiting for the right moment to strike. After a few moments, he dropped off the branch and onto her shoulders. "Got you!" he crowed. |

Rosebriar looked through the ball of moss thoroughly and nodded. "That's great Cinderpaw I can't find anything in there. Okay so i think we can go take care of nests now who do you think we should check first?" She knew there was no way the apprentice could get this wrong she was obviously not selfish as she had shown by her understanding of why this was an important task.

Cinderpaw thought for a moment. "I would say elders, but we don't have any right now. So Queens, right?" She glanced up at Rosebriar for approval. "And then we go to the medicine cats."

Post by Mother Dark on Jan 1, 2017 18:38:31 GMT -5
"That sounds like a good plan. How about you go and ask if the queens are okay with you cleaning up their nests right now." Rosebriar was proud to see that her apprentice already had an understanding of the way you are supposed to treat your clanmates.

Willowfrost jumped slightly and turned her head to look at him. 'That was good...' she said slowly, flicking an ear, 'but how do you expect to land on a mouse from that height? Mice are very small targets.'
She turned to face him. 'It was creative, and I do not condone you doing it if it's a better option than stalking; but you must learn to be light on your feet. Let's try that again, little one.'
She nudged him encouragingly.

Swiftsky breathed a sigh of relief that she had finally finished cleaning the whole den, and couldn't suppress a yawn. She sat down to rest and groomed her pelt, taking out the tangles that had multiplied every single day. Finally some time alone to clean myself... The medicine cat thought with relief. There actually are times when I don't need to chat with others. Times when I can just be here without anyone bothering me.

As the rabbit came into view, Foxscar's mouth began to water. This rabbit was going to taste so good! He took a few more steps forward, trying to be as quiet as possible... and accidentally stepped on a twig. The rabbit immediately tried to hop away, and with a hiss of frustration, Foxscar charged after it. Before it could escape into the underbrush, he leapt in the air and landed on the rabbit, killing it with a bite. He carried it into camp, his swears muffled, yet still recognizable. Something about crow food, stupid hopping, and fox-dung. Lots and lots of fox-dung.
