"I heard that!" he says, "and I'm not. I'm being a super detective man!"

"Who's murder are you investigating?" she called to him. "A mouse?"

"Who ever said it was a murder? I can investigate anything. As a matter of fact, I am examining these beetles. This particular kind seems to be dieing lately. I think it could be important."

"Uh, Thornclaw, those are just beetles, not important."

"Ah, but where I came from, all kits learned that these beetles were very important in predicting how green-leaf will be. The thinner the blue stripes on the wings, the less water there will be. If I haven't gone blind, I'd say the ones this year have the thinnest I've seen in a long time." He sits down and raps his tail around his paws. "Hmm..."

Spottedsun slowed, pricking her ears. Could Thornclaw actually be right? No, that couldn't be the answer. Nothing could just predict how much water there'd be in Green-leaf. It was under StarClan's will. She shook her head, and muttered to Goldenpaw, "Don't listen to that mouse-brain."

Goldenpaw laughed. "Super detective cat? Investigating beetles?" She grinned. "Thornclaw, thats kinda weird." Then she nodded to Spottedsun. "You might be right about that, Spottedsun. It's pretty strange..." Then she bounced to her feet. "Ok! I'm ready for whatever is next!"

Spottedsun gazed off into the trees, distant for a moment, and then nodded to Goldenpaw. "Right, okay, so we're going to learn how to be down-wind when stalking something. When stalking your prey, -or an enemy cat for the matter,- always make sure theire scent is blowing towards you. If it isn't, there is a good chance that they can already scent you, and you're done for."

He notices that they take him for a fool, so he limps away to investigate in another part of the territory. Preferably alone, where he won't be called an idiot.

Goldenpaw grins at Thornclaw limps away, then turns and listens to Spottedsun, intrigued by the battle tactics involved. Keep downwind...got it. She nods. "Ok, I'll try that next time!"

"Good, now, what do you smell? I'd like to see you practice your hunting again." Spottedsun nodded, smiling.

Goldenpaw put her nose to the air again. "I smell us, Thornclaw faintly." She grinned. "The borders...and mouse!" Her ears swiveled, trying to locate the creature.

Spottedsun grinned at her excitement. "I smell it, too," she mewed. "Locate it, and I want you to catch it! This will be your own prey, for a job well done. I know you can do it!"

Goldenpaw nodded, smiling, then turned away and scented for the mouse. She was all business now: she wanted to catch that thing! A rustle in the grasses by a bush told her where the mouse was hiding. Goldenpaw lowered into a crouch, and stalked across the forest floor. She kept her pawsteps light, making sure the wind was blowing into her face this time. As she approached the mouse, she slowed, and saw its furry body scuttling for seeds. It didn't know she was there. Tensing her muscles, Goldenpaw leaped onto her prey. She threw it through the air with a flick of her paw, and when it landed she quickly snapped its small neck. She shouted with excitement, and carried it back to her mentor. "I did it!!!"

Spottedsun cheered. "Well done! That was wonderful! We can celebrate back at camp. I'm so proud of you, Goldenpaw. You're going to become a skilled warrior!" She grinned, and with a flick of her tail, turned around, inviting Goldenpaw with her.

Goldenpaw grinned, bouncing up and down. "Thanks!!" She wanted to be a great warrior more than anything in the world, and her mentor had said she would! The apprentice couldn't help smiling. Picking up her first kill, she padded after Spottedsun and into the SoulClan camp.

Spottedsun slipped through the camp entrance's bushes, beaming with joy. "Congrats, Goldenpaw," she smiled. "Eat up. I'll go get something to eat and come back." She padded away.

Goldenpaw nodded. "Ok!" She padded over to the entrance to the apprentice dens, and laid down. She then proceeded to eat her delicious and nutritious mouse, which was twice as good as any she had ever eaten cuz she caught it herself.

Spottedsun padded back to her, smiling through the fish she held in her mouth. Settling down next to her apprentice, she licked her lips, and started eating it in famished bites.

Goldenpaw eyed the fish. "Oooh, was that really hard to catch? I bet it was. Mice and squirrels are tough enough, I bet fish take some serious skill!!" She finished up her yummo mouse, and asked, "Are we going to have battle training sometime soon?"
