Mist Paw got to the meadow where Ember Dawn was waiting.
“Are you ready to begin?” asked Ember Dawn.
“Sure!”
“Alright, today we will be working on hunting. Hunting is important for our clan and it is quite hard.” explained Ember Dawn, “When you spot a prey, you must be patient and quiet, or else the prey will run away. You will be able to hunt when you have completed learning about hunting...”
“Enough of the intro! Can we start with the actual hunting?” suggested Mist Paw. Ember Dawn sighed and explained to her that she must have patience.
“First, we'll start off with this dead bird. Pretend it's alive and pounce on it. If you're too loud or act to early, the prey will fly away.” informed Ember Dawn. Mist Paw hid in the grass, staring at the dead prey. She crouched down and moved slowly towards the prey.
“Remember, if the prey looks back at your direction, don't move...” reminded Ember Dawn. Mist Paw got closer and closer. Suddenly, she jumped up and scratched the bird.
“Well done, next time, try to use your mouth too.”
“Can I try it on other cats?” begged Mist Paw.
“We're not practising fighting, we're practising hunting.” added Ember Dawn. Mist Paw groaned and started to practise again.
“When you're hunting, you have to move quickly. Like this.” explained Ember Dawn as she chased after a bunny. She jumped up and killed it with her claws.
“Can I try?” asked Mist Paw.
“Sure! Do you remember where are the best hunting spaces?” questioned Ember Dawn. Mist Paw nodded and headed towards the forest. She came upon a huge rock that she remembered from the day before. She also remembered marking paths were important too. Suddenly, she spotted a squirrel. She crouched down and began to move forward.
“Concentrate...” she told herself. The squirrel looked back and Mist Paw lunged towards the squirrel. It climbed up a tree, but Mist Paw also started to run up the tree. Suddenly, she lost her grip and fell back down.
“It was a good try...” admitted Ember Dawn.
“This is going to take forever!” complained Mist Paw.
“No one said becoming a warrior was easy.”
“No one said hunting was painful!” cried Mist Paw as she rubbed her head. Ember Dawn chuckled and carried on with the lesson. As the day passed, it was always Mist Paw crouching down and preparing to launch, then Mist Paw chasing the prey, then Mist Paw getting hurt. But that didn't stop Mist Paw. She kept trying and trying until she was all tired.
“Great work Mist Paw! Even though you didn't catch anything.” motivated Ember Dawn. Mist Paw was panting and aching all over.
“I'll go see what Breeze Paw's up to.” said Mist Paw as she started to head towards the meadow.
“Alright! But make sure you come back soon! We have a lot to do!” reminded Ember Dawn. Mist Paw rolled her eyes and started to run. Her paw was hurting from all the falling and tripping, so she ended up walking. Hunting wasn't that easy...
When she got there, Breeze Paw's arm was bleeding.
“Warriors go through a lot of pain...” said Tiger Pelt.
“I'm fine, let's continue with the lesson...” replied Breeze Paw. Mist Paw crouched down so that they couldn't see her. She didn't want to disturb them.
“You're a bit lousy on your defence. We'll practise that.” suggested Tiger Pelt. Breeze Paw nodded and got ready. Another apprentice came forward and they started to battle. Breeze Paw got scratched and injured.
“Remember! Look where your opponent will strike next!” advised Tiger Pelt. Suddenly, the other apprentice stood on two legs and scratched Breeze Paw's face. He fell down and lied motionless.
“Breeze Paw!” cried Mist Paw, but she was supposed to stay hidden.
“What are you doing here?!” cried Tiger Pelt. Mist Paw ran towards Breeze Paw and licked the bleeding spots. She gave a mad look at the other apprentice.
“Fine, be that way, but don't you dare try to kill him ever!” growled Mist Paw.
“So you wanna fight?” challenged the apprentice. Mist Paw nodded.
“Bring it on!” she shouted. They started to circle around and around, till suddenly, the apprentice jumped up and lunged towards Mist Paw. She dogged and got her claws out. She dug her claws into the apprentice's neck. The apprentice started to scratch Mist Paw's paw and got up. Mist Paw wasn't too good at standing on two legs but she jumped up and scratched the apprentice.
“That's enough!” cried Tiger Pelt.
“Claws sheathed Mist Paw! How many times have I told you that!” shouted Dark Fang from behind.
“Innocent!” giggled Mist Paw as she held out her paws with a grin. But this time, it was obvious that she didn't follow the rules. Her paws were covered with blood from the scratching.
“It's my fault, I should have taught Breeze Paw more slowly. He's not a fast learner...” sighed Tiger Pelt. Breeze Paw stood up and stared at Mist Paw. He walked away and didn't say a thing to her. Mist Paw decided to head back, she didn't want anymore chaos.
“That's right!” motivated Ember Dawn. Mist Paw was chasing a bunny until she jumped up and killed it.
“I caught my first bunny!” she muffled why holding the dead bunny in her mouth.
“Well done! It's only been a moon and you've caught your first bunny!” congratulated Ember Dawn. For the past moon, Mist Paw's improved in hunting and Breeze Paw didn't say a word to her at all.
“A bit more practise and you can go hunting with the clan!”
“When will we start fighting?”
“Well, after you finish hunting, we'll be focusing more on boarder patrolling.”
“Speaking of boarder patrolling, where's Silver Pelt?” wondered Mist Paw. Ember Dawn sighed.
“He is a very busy warrior, you won't be seeing him often in your life.”
“The last time I saw him was when I was three moons old, I think...” added Mist Paw.
“Why don't you go play with Breeze Paw or your sisters?” suggested Ember Dawn. Mist Paw nodded and sighed.
“I don't even think Breeze Paw wants to play.” she murmured to herself.
Moss Kit was sleeping. Suddenly, Leaf Kit jumped up and scratched her.
“Claws sheathed for the last time!” complained Moss Kit.
“Innocent!” giggled Leaf Kit. Mist Paw rolled her eyes and decided to go hunting. It was very peaceful. She waved her soft tail and looked at the branches. She looked beside her and found a bird. It was eating. She crouched down, just like in practise, and got closer. She stayed in one spot for about five minutes, until suddenly, she jumped out and hit her head!
“Ow!” cried a familiar voice.
“Breeze Paw?!” exclaimed Mist Paw.
“Mist Paw?! What are you doing here?! I was about to get that bird!”
“Well it's not my fault I was aiming for it too!” she argued back.
“Whatever! I'm need to get back to training! And I don't need and defensive she-cat to defend me.” he insulted. A tear went down Mist Paw's cheek and she ran away.
Chapter 5: The AttackIt was late summer and Mist Paw was learning how to do some boarder patrolling.
“You have done well in hunting, Mist Paw.” addressed Ember Dawn. Mist Paw smiled and looked at the shining sun.
“What do I have to do for boarder patrolling?” asked Mist Paw.
“Boarder patrolling might seem easy, but it has a lot to it.” indicates Ember Dawn, “First, we shall learn how to mark our territory so when other clans come, they will know this is our territory.”
“And how exactly do we do that?”
“By spreading urine across the territory!” revealed Ember Dawn with a smile. Mist Paw flinched and looked at the ground...
“You mean, our smell is in our... PEE?!” exclaimed Mist Paw.
“Do you have any other suggestions to that?”
“Why can't we just scratch a tree or something other than peeing in our territory?!”
“You have to learn how to be mature, we warriors mark our territory by spreading urine around the territory.” sighed Ember Dawn. Mist Paw groaned and looked at the ground once again.
“Go on, try it!” suggested Ember Dawn. Mist Paw made a face expression and sighed.
“Alright, you did it, now we can move on to actual boarder patrolling.” informed Ember Dawn.
“Finally!” sighed Mist Paw in relief.
They headed towards the boarder between Sun Clan and Legend Clan, like their first lesson.
“Okay, what do I have to do?” sighed Mist Paw.
“Look around the territory and make sure no other cats from other clans come in our territory.” explained Ember Dawn.
“That's it?!”
“And marking our territory.”
“You're kidding me! We spend our precious time walking and looking around our boarder?!”
“What else did you have in mind?” asked Ember Dawn. Mist Paw sighed and looked at Legend Clan's territory.
“You'll do some boarder patrolling and I'll see how you do.” ordered Ember Dawn. Mist Paw nodded and started to run. She slowed down and looked at both territories. This went on for two hours... Suddenly, Mist Paw heard a rustle. She started to panic.
“Ember Dawn, what do I do if an intruder does come in our territory?” asked Mist Paw nervously. But she was alone in the woods. She looked back and thought for a while. What would her father do? She thought for a minute jumped.
“Fight...” she whispered to herself. From behind the bushes, she could see a black and white figure stick out of from the bushes. It was about the size of a cat. This could only mean one thing: She was under attack by a badger. Mist Paw got ready to fight, but her legs were shaking.
“Ember Dawn! If you can hear me right now, HELP!!!” she shouted. But there was no use. The badger jumped out and lunged towards Mist Paw. She jumped up and dodged the badger. It hissed at her and scratched her paw. Mist Paw cried in pain and scratched it back. They started to fight and fight. But they were all getting hurt badly. When one bit the other, the other would bite back. Suddenly, another badger came out. Mist Paw was bleeding badly and stepped back.
“I should be on boarder patrolling, not fighting badgers!” she cried. Mist Paw was wounded and couldn't move. They crept closer, and closer. Suddenly, a cat came out of the tree and lunged on both badgers. He started to fight and the badgers eventually gave up. Mist Paw closed her eyes and lied there, motionless. The cat came up to her and brought her back to the den. But what Mist Paw didn't know was that the cat that saved her
