Alright, this hasn't been updated in awhile....
Firepaw landed just in front of Longtail and swiped a sheathed paw over his muzzle. Longtail jumped forward, knocking Firepaw down. Firepaw rolled away before Longtail could continue and jumped on Longtail's back. Longtail growled and rolled on his back, flattening Firepaw. Firepaw stayed down limply in the position he was in when Longtail got up. Longtail began to walk towards Firepaw, but Firepaw sprang up and ran to his mentor, staying low to the ground. He ran through his mentor's legs and clawed them as he went through. Longtail fell to the ground and Firepaw pinned him down.
"Good job," Longtail panted. "I don't know of any apprentice who was that good so early into their training. If your this good at fighting, knowing moves even I don't know, you can't be as good as hunting." Longtail got up and sat down. "Let's see how good you are. I want you to try to catch one mouse and one squirrel."
(Is Longtail expecting too much of his apprentice? Naa....he underestimates the great Firepaw!)
Firepaw nodded and ran off into the forest. He stalked a mouse, pounced, and killed it. Next, he climbed a tree, saw a squirrel, and caught it. Firepaw didn't know why he was so good at hunting and fighting, or how he knew how, but he knew. Firepaw grabbed the squirrel and the mouse and ran back to Longtail.
"Not bad," Longtail growled. "Now go catch a water vole."
Firepaw walked to the stream by the training hollow.
"Longtail, there aren't any water voles here..." Firepaw mewed.
"Fine, catch something else," Longtail yowled.
Firepaw walked away and caught a rabbit, a vole, and a shrew. He walked back to the training hollow.
"Impressive," Longtail meowed. "You're already ready to become a warrior."
"I want to have my warrior ceremony with my littermates," Firepaw informed him.
"All right, we'll wait," Longtail growled. "Back to camp. Get something to eat and get some sleep, we're doing dawn patrol tomorrow.
Firepaw nodded and followed his mentor back to camp.
Cinderpaw watched with surprise. Firepaw shouldn't be this good! It was obvious....Fireheart lives on in this tiny apprentice!
Onekit flicked his tail. "He has talent."
"No, it's not talent. It's Fireheart," Cinderpaw growled.
"We failed," Onekit sighed.
The Warriors of StarClan were so happy with Firepaw, they danced for a moon straight.
