"Echopaw wake up it's time for training," Sunpaw said nudging Echopaw with her nose.
"I'm up, I'm up," Echopaw murmured opening her eyes. Sunpaw snorted in disbelief and walked out side. Echopaw sat up sleepily gave herself a quick grooming and padded out. When she came outside she saw Sparklefeather waiting for her, she turned and walked away without an explanation. Echopaw followed her in confusion. Once they reached what she thought was the place she would train Sparklefeather stopped and turned around.
"Today you'll learn how to hunt," she said. Echopaw nodded.
"Show me a crouch," Sparklefeather demanded. Echopaw dropped down attempting to copy what she'd seen the other apprentices do. Sparklefeather nodded in approval.
"Lower your tail so it's straight out behind you," Echopaw lowered her tail. Sparklefeather turned and walked of.
"Wait where are we going?" Echopaw called
"Hunting," Sparklefeather replied not turning around or slowing. Echopaw jumped up and chased after her.
"But how do I hunt all you taught me was how the crouch," she asked falling into step next to Sparklefeather.
"I know what I taught you," was all she said. She stopped and opened her jaws to let the air flow over them.
"Stay here and if anything comes towards you pounce on it," she commanded. Echopaw obeyed and dropped into a crouch figuring Sparklefeather would chase a rabbit towards her. she noticed noise in front of her and prepared to pounce. She glanced over the heather she was hiding behind and saw Sparklefeather chasing a rabbit towards her, when it got closer she pounced but missed she skidded on the ground and turned to chase the rabbit. She ran full speed ahead determined to catch it before it found a burrow she heard her mentor calling for her but paid no mind all that existed was her and that rabbit. She was almost able to touch its bobbing white tail. The rabbit ducked into a burrow but Echopaw wasn't about to let it go that easily. She dove down after it and easily caught it in her jaws right after she delivered the killing blow she felt something grab her tail and pull her out of the hole.
Sparklefeather frowned down at her apprentice, the tiny creature was covered in dirt and slightly panting, but she was grinning up at her mentor with the rabbit she had caught at her paws.
"Well?" Echopaw asked,
"Don't ever do that again tunnels are no places for cats," she scolded
"But I caught it," she said.
"And what was i supposed to tell your mother if you'd suffocated hhmm 'Oh sorry Flowerbreese but at least she caught the rabbit' No!" She said angrily.
"I'm sorry Sparklefeather I won't do it again," Echopaw said close to tears. Sparklefeather sighed.
"I know you won't, come on let's get back to camp." Echopaw nodded and picked up her rabbit. then looked around in confusion.
"You have no idea where we are do you." Sparklefeather said flatly. Echopaw shook her head. Sparklefeather sighed again then turned and started walking back towards camp.
