Hello again! There's nothing to say except here's a chapter! Please keep up with the reviews (^-^)
Honeypaw swerved through the dense forest as fast as her paws could carry her. Leaping over small roots, she hid inside a bush as her mentor's fiery ginger pelt followed her pawsteps.
"Oh dear," Squirrelflight joked, walking over to the bush Honeypaw was hiding in. "I wonder where my apprentice is?" She then tapped one paw on the golden she's head. "Gotcha," she giggled.
The apprentice walked out of the bush in a huff. "You always win," she started, whining. Then she changed her tone and bounced around Squirrelflight. "Can we do some hunting instead? I'm bored!""
Yes, yes," Squirrelflight sighed, purring. "You'll have to scent some fresh-kill first. I trust you know to do that?"
Honeypaw stuck her nose in the air, seeing if she could scent anything. She suddenly jumped back in alarm, looking towards the border. "ShadowClan scent!"
Sure enough, a patrol was walking along the border carrying two frogs and a vole. Honeypaw winced at the scent of the frogs, but she still felt jealous that they caught fresh-kill- yet she had none.
"Tigerheart! Dawnpelt!" Squirrelflight was purring. "Are these your apprentices?" She nodded towards a dark brown tabby tom and a cream-coloured she with a white belly.
Tigerheart nodded a greeting, Dawnpelt scowling at the apprentice and her mentor. Honeypaw frowned. Who made dirt in her fresh-kill?
"This is Badgerpaw," Tigerheart introduced, nodding at the tabby tom. "And Marigoldpaw. They're new apprentices- they just started their training."
Suddenly, Honeypaw heard a yowl in the distance, coming from ShadowClan camp. She could tell the others had heard it too by their pricked ears.
"Uh, we'd better go," Tigerheart explained hurriedly. "Say hello to Bramblestar for me." "Of course," Squirrelflight nodded, and the patrol rushed off. Then Squirrelflight turned to her apprentice. "Well, have you scented any fresh-kill yet?" she asked, her whiskers twitching with amusement.
Honeypaw nodded and bounded off to the bush she hid in. "I think there's a mouse somewhere around here," she called to her mentor, who was still catching up.
Squirrelflight walked quietly to Honeypaw, so not to scare their snack. "Alright, she whispered. That's a big mouse. But you'll need to know how to catch it, first copy me." She dropped down into a crouch, keeping her belly low and her tail flat.
Honeypaw dropped down to a crouch as well, trying to match her mentor. "Not bad for your first time," Squirrelflight purred. "But don't forget, you have to keep your tail flat. Now try and catch that mouse!"
Honeypaw flattened her bristling tail and slowly crept towards her kill. Then, when she was at a safe distance, she made one final check on her prey's position and pounced. "Try a killing bite to the neck!" her mentor called as the apprentice struggled with the mouse. Following her menor's instructions, she snapped her jaws at the mouse's neck and felt it go limp.
"Well done," her mentor praised. "That's a very good catch for your first hunt. Who knows, you may even be coming to the gathering!"
Honeypaw purred as she carried her mouse back to camp. 'The gathering,' she thought. 'I'm going to the gathering!'
Sorry for the short chapter- I have writers block. Anyway, here are some things for you to try and find- in the next chapter, a darkness will be introduced, as well as a new 'star with foreshadowing you mightn't have noticed. See y'all in the next update!
