Chapter 2-Training day _
Treepaw flinched, trying to block out the voices of the other apprentices. "wake up!" "Treepaw!" "wake!" "time for Training!" the last one got her attention. She slowly got up, yawning. "training?" she asked with new interest. "yeah! Thats what apprentice's do!" replied Troutpaw. Treepaw was confused. Then the last day's events hit her. "yeah... right... aprentice.." Treepaw yawned. "C'mon Treepaw! Mistypaw's here to tell us who our trainers will be!" shouted Leafpaw, tugging his litter-sisters tail. "OW! I get it! let go!" Treepaw replied, exiting the apprentice den. Leafpaw was right. Flowerpaw and Mistystar were outside waiting for them. "hello, Treepaw. Hello, Leafpaw." Mistystar purred. "hello, Mistystar." said Leafpaw "now who are our trainers!" "okay, kits. here we go!" said MistyStar "Treepaw, your trainer is Grasspelt. Flowerpaw, yours is Robinwing. And Leafpaw, yours is Mintfur." Then, three tom's walked up. One to each apprentice. "Hello, Treepaw." said Grasspelt, observing his new apprentice. "hello; you must be Grasspelt." replied Treepaw. "yes, I'm Grasspelt." Grasspelt replied, flicking his tail. "now come." he said, and walked off towrds the end of RiverClan camp. "wait for me!" shouted Treepaw, running after stopped infront of the river surrounding RiverClan camp, then started waiting for Treepaw. "The first thung an apprentice learns in RiverClan" he said when she caught up "is how to swim." "really!" shouted Treepaw, who had always wanted to swim. "yes." he replied. The water was still. It was hot, no brezze at all. "Come on in." said Grasspelt. Treepaw did as she was told and stepped into the water until her head was the only thing poking out of the water. "alright, here are the basics of swimming. You move your legs back and forth, like running. Come a little deeper." said Grasspelt, inching closer to Treepaw. "okay..." said Treepaw, walking futher out until she couldn't stand. Then she moved her legs like she was running, and found herself on the top of the water. "good!" said Grasspelt from the other side of the small river "now try moving. Keep your hindlegs how they are, but make your Forelegs reach out, then come close very quickly." Treepaw again tried what her mentor told her to do, and after getting water into her nose a couple times, she made her way at the other side of the small river. "I did it!" she shouted. "do it some more." said Grasspelt. And she did.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Treepaw sniffed evrywhere for pray, and finnally she found it. "Grasspelt, look!" she whispered, not taking her eyes off of the mouse. "good job. Now watch what I do. You take the next one." Grasspelt replied, then he walked a little closer, downwind of the mouse. He crouched low to the ground, got close enough to pounce, and... jumps! He returned to Treepaw with the dead mouse in his mouth. He spit it out for a moment. "were you watching, Treepaw?" he asked, licking some blood off of his chops. "yes." Treepaw replied. "good." said grasspelt, then he picked up the mouse and started walking. Treepaw followed him. Then she spotted a frog. Grasspelt didn't see it, so he kept walking. If she called him, it would scare the frog away, so she dicided to catch it. Like Grasspelt had shown her, she went low, made sure she was downwind, and walked lightly until she thought she could get it when she pounced. Then she jumped onto it, biting its back and giving it a deadly blow to the neck. then she examined the dead frog. It was a big one, almost her size. She picked it up, and brought it into the shade. "good job." said Grasspelt, hopping down from a tree. "thank you." she mumbled, looking over her catch again. "come on." said Grasspelt, picking up the frog and giving it to treepaw. She took it, then he took his mouse and they walked back to camp.
