Springpaw opened her eyes and saw a hint of sun coming through the den. She gave a yawn and rolled onto her stomach and looked out of the enternace of the apprentices den. She gave another yawn and stood up and padded out into the sunlight. Her green eyes growing lighter seeing the sun hitting them.
She let her eyes go to the fresh kill pile and noticed they were low. She then gave a smile and thought. Well hunting time! Before she sprinted out of the camp she looked back and yelled, "Anyone wanna go hunting with meeee?" Her bright eyes scanned the area to see if anyone would go with her. Her tail went back and foreth in excitement and hoped someone would answer her.

ooof. Thornpaw woke up when Springpaw jumped up with excitement. Her black fur was ruffled and a mess. Her harsh blue eyes turned into narrowed slits."Some cats need to learn how to sleep in some days." She growled as she stood up, stretching each limb carefully.
She took her small pink tongue and rasped it all over her fur smoothing out the spikes and kinks and the mess. She looked up and saw springpaw running for the entrace. Where on earth did this she-cat get her energy from? She made her way to the prey pile, and to her disdain it was just feathers and fur remaining."Don't cats hunt anymore?"
"WHO WANTS TO GO HUNTING WITH ME??"
Thornpaw heard Springpaw yell across the clearing. Oh yes, the elders would be so happy about that. The black she-cat padded up to her and snuffed."I will, but only because I'm starving." She mewed. Her tone was dry and bitter.

Springpaw gave a face when she finally heard Thornpaw would go with. Yet she didnt let it bug her and bounced up and down and mewed, "Alrighty! Then come on dont be slow now!" She waited for a few more seconds to see if anyone else would be coming yet sadly it would just be her and miss dry tone. Springpaw bounced out of the camp and mewed, "Last one out has to hunt first!" already getting a head start.
She felt the wind in her face and jumped over logs and branches and looked back behbind her to see if Thornpaw was coming. She gave a lugh and had a feeling she would make this cat into a morning kitty.

Thornpaw was lazy. Don't slow her down? Didn't this she-cat know who she was? She trotted out of the entrance looking left than right. She let springpaw get a head start. She licked her paw and brought it over her ear. She should have gotten to the log by now? She whipped her head around and broke out into a dead sprint racing through the forest at her top speed. She took the log in one jump and rushed passed Springpaw into the forest."Your the last one out Springpaw. You hunt first."

Springpaw saw a flash of black run by her and jumped onto a log. She skitted to a halt and looked up seeing Thornpaw. She flattened her ears back and gave a growl. "Fine! First is the best second is the worst." She turned her back on the she cat and looked out into the forest to see if anything would be alive around this time.
She kept her eyes opened along with her ears and bit her lip. She then trotted into the forest and jumped over a log and kept going. She slowled down and finally saw a mouse not far from her. She gave smile and crouched down low. She stalked the mouse and got closer and closer. Then its head shot up and ran off. She didnt even make a sound! She sprinted into a run and was close on the mouses heels. She was just about to get it when she tripped on her paws and rolled over onto her back and finally stopped rolling and landed on her stomach. She saw the mouse head over to Riverclan and she blew a piece of her fur out of her eyes. She gave a cough and spat out some dirt. She then limped back to Thornpaw and sat under the log her clanmate was on and mewed, "Your turn.." she mumbeled not even daring to look at Thornpaw. She already knew her reaction even if she did look at her.

Thornpaw's eyes widened and she gave a snort. "Nice moves! Who taught you that one?" She chuckled and got into a hunters crouch. She stuck out her tongue for just a moment and vanished under a rosemary bush. She scanned the forest. That mouse went to Riverclan. So it's Riverclan's prey that would be startled. She saw a large Thrush pecking at some seeds on a low branch on a pine tree. She grinned. That would be her breakfast. She waited patiently. Waiting for the right moment. When the bird turned it's back, the black she-cat scaled the tree and soon her claws were in the bird. With a swift bite she killed it. The gray bird in her mouth, she jumped down. She trotted back to Springpaw and smiled."Now that is how you hunt."

Springpaw rolled her eyes as the she cats remark and then watched her go off and do something she really didnt care about watching. Infact she didnt. She looked at the sky and the leaves and the twigs sticking up out of the ground. Not really watching Thornpaw do whatever she was doing oh what was it hunting?
When Thornpaw trotted back with a bird in her mouth she raised an eyebrow and mewed, "What do you wanna get for that, being leader?" She then let her eyes cast down to the bird and mewed, "Go you, what a show okay so whats next.."

"Leader would be a very nice gift for hunting a thrush." Thornpaw mewed. Her blue eyes looked at Springpaw."Yes Go me indeed. It took a lot of practice to be able to hunt that bird." She narrowed her eyes."My mentor took a moon to train me on how to climb trees. It was terrible. My claws were so run down I had to wait another moon just for them to sharpen." She smiled. The sun was getting higher, the forest was getting warmer."Come, the forest will be crawling with prey now. You can have a second shot at getting a mouse."

Everything this cat said went in one ear and out the other yet her face still said, dont worry im listening. She heard something about a tree then totally lost this cat. She then follwed Thornpaw and really did want another chance at catching something. She listened carefully around her and every step she took was a soft one. She still had dirt in her fur and a cut on her back from tripping. She now felt it sting but she tried to not let it bug her.

Thornpaw watched her go. Trying to catch a mouse again. The older she-cat huffed and grinned. However, she frowned when she saw the cat walk with a limp. She tilted her head to the side to examine it more. She had a cut. It was more likely from her battle with her mouse. " You should get that seen to" she mewed. " It could get infected" she mewed once more.

Springpaw rolled her eyes and mewed, "I'm fine Thornpaw. Its just a little scratch. Not a battle wound." She gave a little smile and still limped on, yet seeing she couldnt clean it herself maybe Thornpaw was right.
Her time came. A vole wasnt far and Springpaw got into the zone. She lowered herself and stalked to the little creature. It still had its head under the leaves and now was the time to spring. She felt her haunches rise and she was just about to jump a large hawk came down and scooped up the vole and took it into the sky. Springpaw jumped out from her place and looked up watching the bird carry it away. "Why me?!" she yelled into the sky. Yet she couldnt help but smile. "Well that was probably the last piece of prey in this forest.." she mewed sitting down, feeling blood drip down her back.

" You just aren't having the best of luck today are you?" Thornpaw laughed at the she-cats luck. First he injury now a hawk swoops down and snags a vole she was hunting. Thornpaw was grateful that her luck wasn't that bad. She looked at the wound on the apprentice."That may be from hunting but it looks like you got ambushed from a shadowclan warrior!"

"Its just a scratch Thornpaw, why are you so worried about my back and infections and cuts and what-nots? I dont get it. If a shadowclan warrior did ambush me I'm sure you would just sit back and watch that happen to me also wouldnt you?" she asked looking into Thornpaws eyes. She then looked away and mewed, "I'm okay Thornpaw."

(Thorpaw growled"if there was an ambush I would help you. Its against the code to watch a clan mate suffer.". She mewed. " I nay not be a morning cat and I don't like many cats in general but I would not watch. a clan mate fight alone and die" she mewed through bare teeth

Springpaw didnt move an inch seeing Thornpaw getting all upset. "Calm down. Great starclan you got a thorn up your butt or something?" she mewed in a normal tone. She flattened her ears and turnedaway from thornpaw and limped away into the forest not really caring about hunting anymore.
