Chapter One
Arrow gnawed off the last bit of the rabbit and tossed the bone carelessly into the river. He stood, and padded into a hollow tree, where Andie stood, sharpening her claws on rocks. As Arrow padded towards her, Andie whipped around, grabbing him and holding her claws to his throat.
"Agh! Andie!" The tom meowed, writhing in her grip. He knocked his mentor's paw away from him and backed up.
The old ginger she-cat snorted. "You always need to be ready to protect yourself. When a badger eats off your tail, because you weren't on alert, I'll be laughing at you," She sneered.
Arrow sat down curling his tail around his paws, more protective of it. He grunted and unsheathed his claws, silently comparing his smooth edged talons to Andie's.
"If I'm always on alert, wouldn't that mean I would pounce and shred a squirrel to pieces at a rustle of a bush?" He asked.
Andie glanced at him, her silvery-gray eyes fiery. "Why don't you go find that out yourself?" She smirked.
"Why don't you teach me anything?" Arrow demanded, furious. "I'm not going to learn to survive or learn to hunt if you don't teach me!" He said, standing up straight.
The old loner squinted at Arrow. "Fine. I'll teach you something. Come, follow me," Andie meowed.
Arrow smiled in satisfaction, pride making him glow.
As he followed his mentor outside, and turned swiftly, lashing out her claws, scoring her follower's face. Arrow recoiled back, squealing in surprise, pain, and maybe anger.
"It's called discipline! You impatient little freak. You're never able to wait!" She hissed.
The brown tom whined. "You're the freak!" He said, running to a puddle of mud beside the river. He threw his head into the moist ground, cleaning the blood off of his face, but then his muzzle was doused in mud.
Andie sniffed her follower, then sighed. "But I guess you are big and old enough to learn." She meowed. "Show me your best pounce," She meowed.
Arrow rapidly shook his head, sending droplet's of mud onto Andie. Then, as he tried to crouch, he fell on his stomach. Arrow flailed, as he tried to stand up.
Andie sighed, flicking a chunk of mud off of her pelt. "We've got a lot of work to do."
