Spottedsun crept out of camp, the chilly dawn air brushing by her whiskers. She shivered, and sat down, soon laying down, tucking her paws and tail underneath her warm stomach. Spottedsun was proud of her new apprentice, though this was the first time they would be training. She knew that there something, something deep inside Goldenpaw that willed her to become a warrior, but not just a simple, normal warrior. No, she would be one of the very best, -Spottedsun could see it. And it was her duty to make sure that happend.

Goldenpaw watched as her mentor walked out of camp, and getting to her feet, followed. She padded after her mentor, eyes shining and her fur bristling with excitement. Finally, she would be able to train for real! She had been waiting so long for this. There was nothing Goldenpaw wanted more in the world than to be a great warrior. "Hey Spottedsun! Are we going to train now??"

She smiled and sat up, nodding her head to apprentice. "Of course," she turned around. "Now come along now, I'll show you where we'll begin hunting. Feeding your Clan before yourself is an important part of the warrior code." She disappeared into the shade of the trees.

Goldenpaw nodded and listened. Feeding the Clan was one of the most important things of becoming a warrior. If the Clan was left hunting, then they would fall apart. A shiver ran through Goldenpaw. She was so excited! As Spottedsun walked into the trees, Goldenpaw padded after her.

After walking for many fox-lengths, Spottedsun approached a sunny area where the trees had cleared out, and bushes surrounded the perimeter. She smiled; it was perfect. Padding through the weak barrier of bushes, she stepped into the brightening sunlight, letting it warm her fur for a couple of heart-beats. The warm earth felt good against her pads, and she sat down in the center. Looking up at sky, Spottedsun could locate few clouds, and there wasn't much wind. What a nice day... she thought. Glancing at Goldenpaw, who paced around in front of her, she smiled. "Alright, to start with, what do you smell?"

As they padded into the small clearing, the warm sun struck Goldenpaw's pelt, and it shone like, well, gold. After basking for a quick moment, Goldenpaw put her nose to the air. "I smell us, SoulClan camp...faint scent of the DeathClan border..." Her noise wrinkled, "...and mouse, I think."

She nodded. "Good. Show me which way the DeathClan border is, and then we'll catch that mouse."

Goldenpaw put her nose back into the air, concentrating on the DeathClan scent. As the wind blew faintly, she detected the source. "I think it's that way." She pointed her nose in the direction of the enemy Clan.

Spottedsun smiled and nodded. "That's right," Waving her tail, she turned around and headed in the direction where the mouse scent wavered. "Okay, here's the crouch when catching a mouse." Spottedsun lowered herself to the ground, keeping her balance in the middle of her body. She stepped lightly, and tucked her tail close. "When stalking a mouse, you stay light on your feet, because they can feel you before they hear you. Keep your balance, too."

Goldenpaw watched as Spottedsun instructed her on how to catch a mouse. Studying her pose, Goldenpaw crouched down, lifting her tail off the ground and trying to be as light as her feet as possible. She crept forward a few steps, wobbling slightly but mostly keeping her balance, and looked back at Spottedsun. "Like that?"

"Yes, very good. You did very well with being light on your feet. Alright, now I want you to try and catch that mouse." She motioned with her tail to it a couple of tail lengths away. "Remember, it's okay if you don't catch it the first time. Practice makes perfect." She smiled and stood back to watch Goldenpaw.

"Actually 'practice makes permanent' is more accurate," he says, seemingly popping out of nowhere. "Sorry to butt in, but I just happened to be patrolling over here." Then he started investigating the area for any evidence of a crossing or even a thought of crossing over by a DeathClan cat.

Spottedsun rolled her eyes. "Yes, thank you for your help, Thornclaw, but I know how to train my apprentice."

Goldenpaw grinned at the two warriors bickering, then dropped back into her crouch. Light feet, tail raised, she scented the air and immediately located the mouse. It was scrabbling through some leaves at the bottom of an oak tree, and she could just see the little brown animal in the shadows. Creeping forward, she padded lightly towards the creature. When she was just feet away, the mouse stopped, scenting the air. The wind shifted, blowing Goldenpaw's scent to the mouse, and she cursed. Leaping through the air, she landed with her paws in the leaves. Lifting a paw, she scowled. "Darn it, I missed!" She padded back over to Spottedsun, frowning. "This is way harder than fighting..."

He looks up from investigating a pile of leaves and puff his chest out indignantly. "Why, I never suggested that you couldn't, Spottedsun. However, I have a thing about things that aren't correct, kind of like a perfectionist. So I'm not trying to insult you, I am merely trying to preserve my sanity."

"What 'sanity'?" Stormkit sneered.

Spottedsun giggled on the inside when she heard Stormkit's comment as she drew out of the shadows, but she let a grin show. "I'd appreciate it if you would preserve your," she winked at Stormkit. "'sanity' by doing something else. Go annoy Whisperwind about her training with Dawnpaw, -you'll get a sure clawing for that. Now quit trying to tick me off." Turning back Goldenpaw, who sat grumpily in front of her, she flicked her ear with her tail. "Cheer up; it's fine. Actually," she slapped her cheek with her paw and sighed. "Aw mouse-dung, I forgot to mention about being down-wind. Ugh, Thornclaw I'd keep your tail over your mouth if you know what's good for you." She glared at him and started padding away. "C'mon, Goldenpaw, I'll teach you that in another clearing. We don't need Thornclaw bugging us." Spottedsun muttered to herself, "I'm no good at this."

He scowls at her but his eyes show that he's teasing. ~gasp~ "What? You think I'm annoying? Hmm....society seems to have changed a lot since I was young." Then he lowers his ears and says, "And I know I'm as old as dirt, so before you say it, ha ha," he laughs in a sarcastic way. "Now I shall get back to my very important mission." Then he turns around and starts poking around again.

Spottedsun rolled her eyes and then lowered her head. She whispered to Goldenpaw, "It looks like his mission is trying to find a place to make dirt!" She giggled, and flicked her tail.
