Chapter 3~Hopepaw
It had been a couple of days since they had become cats... probably about 3. Hopepaw moaned as paws jabbed her side. "Hopepaw wake up! Jayflight and Tinyfeather are teaching us how to hunt!" meowed Peacepaw happily. Hopepaw sighed and got up, licking her paw and swiping it quickly over her ear. "Alright, I'm up," she muttered, standing up and following Peacepaw out of the den. Stormpaw was making a face as he walked into the elders den with some moss. Mouse Bile... Hopepaw presumed. Another apprentice, Sunpaw, was talking with her mentor. Firelight was sharing tongues with her mate Cougarsky. Ivystar was talking with the deputy, whose name was Coaleyes, and a couple of the senior warriors. Nettleclaw was explaining herbs to his apprentice, Starpaw. Hopepaw and Peacepaw hadn't gotten to really talk to Starpaw, but she seemed like a sweet cat. Hopepaw padded up to Jayflight and Tinyfeather.
"It's about time..." muttered Jayflight, his tail twitching impatiently. Hopepaw glared at him indignantly. She followed Tinyfeather and Jayflight to a small clearing, Peacepaw right beside her. Not too shabby... Hopepaw scented the air curiously. Lizardpaw, Sunpaw's brother, and their sister Dapplepaw were battle training with their mentors Clearsky and Charredfur. "Alright you two, do you know anything about hunting?" asked Tinyfeather. "Um, we know some," said Peacepaw. Some? thought Hopepaw. We read so many of the warriors book, we know almost all the tips the warriors give when teaching cats to hunt... "Alright, well, show us what you know," Jayflight said, plopping down. Obviously, he thought they were going to be really bad... I'll show him... Hopepaw growled inwardly, crouching down.
Hopepaw carefully put one paw in front of another, careful not to alert her "prey". She leaped, her paws landing on a twig that was laying on the ground. "Pretty good for a first time," Tinyfeather mewed. Jayflight shrugged, only slightly impressed. "You let your tail drag along the ground," he said. He's right... I did, didn't I? thought Hopepaw, only now realizing that her tail had brushed along the ground. Peacepaw crouched down, slowly placing one paw in front of another, careful not to repeat her sisters mistake. She leaped at the same stick Hopepaw had used, the twig crunching under her weight. "Wow! That was good Peacepaw!" mewed Hopepaw happily. Jayflight nodded. "Slightly better than Hopepaw," said the tom. Hopepaw narrowed her eyes. "Was that really necessary Jayflight?" asked Hopepaw angrily.
Jayflight ignored her. "Try it again Hopepaw! I'm sure you'll do it better this time..." said Tinyfeather. For some reason, it felt like she was mentoring Peacepaw AND Hopepaw, and Jayflight was there to annoy Hopepaw. "Alright Tinyfeather," said Hopepaw, determined to show that she could do just as well as Peacepaw. Hopepaw stalked forward carefully, this time her tail held at the same level as her body. She leaped at a small rock, her paws holding it firmly to the ground. "How was THAT?" she asked Jayflight. "It was okay," replied her mentor. "How about we see if they could really catch anything?" Jayflight asked Tinyfeather, but he obviously was REALLY saying, "How about we see if Hopepaw could really catch anything?" At that, Hopepaw frowned. Tinyfeather nodded. "Sounds reasonable..." she mewed.
While hunting, Hopepaw caught a mouse, Peacepaw caught a vole, and Jayflight caught a squirrel. When they arrived at camp they dropped of their prey. Jayflight trotted off to talk with Dovepetal, who had just got back from a border patrol. Hopepaw was about to grab a rabbit from the fresh kill pile to share with Peacepaw, when tiny claws landed on her tail. She whipped around, seeing a small cream tabby she-kit at her tail. "Hello there," said Hopepaw, removing her tail from the kits claws. "Hiya! I'm Lilykit!" mewed the little kit, smiling. A red tabby kit ran up, his blue eyes sparkling. "And that's my brother Pepperkit!" meowed Lilykit happily. "I'm Hopepaw," said the she-cat, grabbing the rabbit from the pile. The kits scampered off, yowling something about a race.
Stormpaw bounced up to the pile, grabbing a mouse. "Hey, do you two know if you're coming to the gathering tonight?" he asked as they all padded to a shady area. They shook their head. "Well I hope you can come! I want to show you two the gathering place!" he mewed before biting into his mouse. Peacepaw bit into the rabbit before saying, "That would be nice." Hopepaw shrugged, taking a bite out of the rabbit.
"Alright!" mewed Stormpaw as they finished their rabbit. He had finished his mouse a while ago. "We are going to ask Ivystar if you're coming to the gathering!" he said determinedly. "Okay," said Peacepaw as her and her sister got up. Hopepaw, Peacepaw, and Stormpaw all looked around for Ivystar, finding her in the medicine den talking to Nettleclaw. "Ivystar, we were wondering if Hopepaw and Peacepaw were coming to the gathering," Stormpaw mewed respectfully, dipping his head. Ivystar nodded. "I think it would be good for them," Ivystar said.
