By the day, Snowkit acted innocent and kit-like, swatting random things, also acting as though oblivious to things being said, even though he could discern what his new kin were saying based on vibration.
During the small moments his mother, who he found out was named Leaf, was gone, he would practice the techniques his wonderful teacher taught him. He still didn't know the dream cat's name, but he didn't dare ask. She had a bit of a temper.

Leaf had become worried by Snowkit's injuries. He got new ones daily, and Leaf didn't know what they were from. She had dismissed it as wounds he got from sharp things in his nest, as they appeared in the morning, though she still was concerned.

Snowkit charged at his dream mentor, jumping over her head and onto her back. She tried to swipe at his underbelly, but he was too high. Snowkit then landed and wrapped his jaws around his mentors neck, biting down to draw a bit of blood. It tasted salty on his tongue. His mentor said, "Alright, off. That was a good move. Your enemies surely will have trouble with that."
Snowkit's heart swelled. His mentor just complimented him! He had done a good job! He then remembered he was still on his mentor's back, so he jumped off. Clinging too long was sure to get his mentor mad at him. He did not want another cuffed ear. Last time Leaf was really worried about it. He had a hard time convincing her it was fine. His mentor licked her wounds where she could. She then said, "You are certainly no kit anymore, you deserve a new name! You will now be known as Snowpaw, you are my official apprentice. Next time I guess I'll introduce you to the other apprentices. Goodbye, Snowpaw."
As the dream faded, Snowpaw felt warm inside. His mentor believed in him.

Today, Snowpaw, Leaf, and the kits went for a little walk together. The kits went behind Snowpaw and he sensed the vibrations of them mewing to each other. He concentrated on figuring out what they were saying. He was NOT happy when he found out. His siblings were calling him a idiotic deaf cat.

Snowpaw snarled then whipped around and dug his fangs into the cat behind him's throat. Warm blood rushed from the wound. The cat in Snowpaw's grasp yowled and writhed in pain, but Snowpaw didn't let go until he was slammed into by a strong force. He turned to the side and saw his adopted mother Leaf rushing at him, her eyes full of pain and fury. She picked him up before he could react to the attack then threw him into a tree. Snowpaw crumpled to the ground unconscious, blood spilling from his mouth.
