Chapter 2: Training
"Thank you, Leopardstar." Icepaw mewed, licking Leopardstar's shoulder respectivly. Leopardstar nodded.
"Icepaw! Icepaw!" The RiverClan cats chanted.
"Your mentor will be. . ." Leopardstar paused for a heartbeat."Hawkfrost." Icepaw nodded. Who is Hawkfrost!? Leopardstar padded away from Icepaw. Suddenly all the event that had just happened rushed at Icepaw. She winced. She had just JOINED a clan! She didn't even know what to do in a clan! She had met wild cats and gotten herself lost! Icepaw shook her head of her thoughts.
I guess I should find this Hawkfrost guy. . . These cats have really odd names. Icepaw padded around camp. Hawkfrost. . . She soon found this one tom who had smoky black fur.
"Um, hi. Do you know where Hawkfrost is?" she asked. The tom turned to look at her with large almond shaped amber eyes.
"Oh! You're the new apprentice! Yeah, he should be over there." The tom twitched his tail toward a large den in some reeds. Icepaw nodded her thanks. She slowly padded to the den.
"Uh, is Hawkfrost in there?" She poked her head in. She was face to face with a tom who had ice like blue eyes.
"What do you want?" he yawned. Icepaw cocked her head. Was this Hawkfrost? He was muscular, and had a very dark brown pelt. His underbelly was snowy white.
"Oh, um, I'm your new apprentice. My name is Icepaw." Icepaw grinned.
"Ok. . . so what do you want?" he repeated. Icepaw let out a silent oh. He must have meant what she wanted out of him! She got it now.
"Could we start training?" Icepaw began jumping up and down. Hawkfrost rolled his eyes.
"Will you calm down if we do?" He asked. Icepaw pondered the thought. Should she. . . or not? Did she want to calm down? What am I thinking?! I would calm down to train any day!
"Um. . . yes?"
"Ok, let's go." Hawkfrost padded out of the den. Icepaw grew excited once more. She started to jump up and down again, but stopped herself before she got completly out of control. She glanced at Hawkfrost, who padded nobley through his clanmates. His chin was held high and he took graceful steps.
Icepaw lifted her chin to Hawkfrost's hieght, but it was hard, because she was shorter. She stuck a paw out every time Hawkfrost did, but her limbs were too short. She took one step to far and tripped over herself. She landed with a thud.
Hawkfrost turned to look at her. She was lieing in the dust, with one of her paws stuck under her chest. Hawkfrost couldn't help the giggle that exploded from his mouth. Icepaw felt her cheeks grow warm with embarrassment.
"What were you doing?" He asked.
"I was trying to walk like a warrior." Icepaw replied. Hawkfrost exploded with laughter again.
"Your not a warrior yet. So you don't have to act like one." He said as he nudged her to her paws.
"Oh. . . I thought that was required." Icepaw said, once again, completly serious. Hawkfrost giggled again.
"No, it's not required."Hawkfrost once again took the lead.
OoOoO
"Ok,"Hawkfrost said."Lower yourself like this." Hawkfrost lowered himself into some sort of hunting crouch."This is for catching mice and rabbits. We'll do fish later." Icepaw copied his position.
"Like this?" Icepaw asked.
"Yes, that's good!" Icepaw glowed with pride.
"Now that you've gotten that basic hunting style down, I'll show you the basic fishing position." Hawkfrost began to run to a fast flowing stream. Icepaw followed him, but more slowly. This was the river she had crossed when she first came to RiverClan. Come to think of it, that was that same dawn. . .
Hawkfrost sat down next to the stream. He stuck his paw into the water swiftly and in that same heartbeat, brought it out, flinging a fish toward Icepaw. She ducked her head and the fish landed on her back.
"EWWW!" she screamed, her eyes growing wide. She sat down and fish slid off of her back. Hawkfrost giggled once more. Icepaw padded over to Hawkfrost, her eyes still wide. She stuck her paw into the water, thinking it was easy, and plunged head first into the stream.
There's the second chapter! Was it long enough? Review!
