The warm New Leaf air stirred Drykit's fur as she padded to the fresh kill pile. A stocky black bird lay on top, with mostly mice and squirrels underneath. As Drykit went to grab a mouse, an exiting wail echoed across the clearing. Mudfur and leafpaw crept into camp with a huge rabit in their jaws. As Drykit watched in amazement, the rabbits leg twitched and kicked frantickly.
"It's alive!" squeaked Mousekit. Gripping the rabbit herder between his teeth, Mudfur nodded. His tortoise-shell pelt spladdered with rabbit blood.
"Yep," he growled, laying the rabbit down, Leafpaw still holding it's neck. "Kits gather 'round." He called. Mousekit and Sandkit sat alert while Drykit padded slowly to Mudfur. Specklekit not far behind. "I want you to try and catch this rabbit." Sandkit wringled his flat face and hissed.
"We're Thunderclan not Windclan!" Mudfur growled,
"Do you want to be an apprentice or not!" Mousekit laid her ears back.
"This isn't an assesment is it?" Mudfur purred and nosed his daughter's head.
"Of corse not." the rabbit kicked an flailed, clawing Leafpaw in the eye.
"Ow, Mudfur?" She hissed, struggling with the rabbit. Mudfur nodded and Leafpaw let go of the rabbit. Dazed, the brown creature stumbled beforeit began to run.
"Catch it!" Mudfur yowled. Sandkit pelted after it, Mousekit at his heels. Drykit slowly ran at the varmin, trying to remember what training she had learned by watching the apprentices. With fast feet, Drykit turned opposite of the rabbit and hid under a gorse bush. The rabbit would instinctivly run this way so she waited.
After only a heart beat, Drykit saw the rabbit. It's eyes wide with terror and , it was Specklekit who was hot on the rabbit's tail. Claws unsheathed, Drykit growled and leaped out of the bush, barely missing by a tail. Drykit sunk her claws deep into the rabbit's flank, sending blood pouring onto her paws. DIgging her claws in the soft earth, she managed to stop the rabbit and diliver the final killing blow. The rabbit's body was heavy and warm.
"Wow Drykit!" Specklekit gaspsed. Sandkit and Mousekit ran to the newly killed rabbit with astonished looks on their faces. Sandkit growled.
"You weren't supposed to kill that!" he spat. His fawn colored coat bristling. With a surge of courage, Drykit stood her ground and spat.
"Yes I was!," Drykit fluffed up her ginger fur to make herself look bigger. "Mudfur said so himself!" Drykit hissed slashing a paw at her tormentor. With a growl of fury, Sandkit lunged for her, his black claws glistling. With quick feet, Drykit jumped back and batt his ears so hard it sent the big kit hurtling backwards. Paws sounded in the woods as Mudfur padded to the four kits circled by the dead rabbit. His eyes glowed.
"Who caught this-"
"I did!" Drykit mewed quickly, raising her tail high. Mudfur padded up to her and nossed her head.
"Well done, you passed the assesment."
"What!" Mousekit hissed.'' So it was an assesment!" Mudfur nodded.
"For Drykit and Specklekit." MUdfur saw confusion on the she-kits eyes so he explained. "Specklekit lured to rabbit to his sister, who caught it. They have earned their apprentice names. Sandkit fluffed up his fur.
"I helped too!" Mudfur licked his son and laughed.
"Chasing a rabbit and losing it is not apprentice worthy." Finnaly, something to show up that arrogant cat.
