Rose storm entered the camp, Her red tabby fur swayed in the light breeze. 

She wondered if she would ever have a mate, Or kits. But at the moment she was okay training apprentices, 

Her new apprentice, Mouse paw. Was doing just fine under her mentor ship, She was going to get him now.

''Mouse paw, We're going training.'' She mewed loudly, The tom jumped. He nodded quickly following her,

''I'm going to teach you what many mentors don't,'' She said sternly. She felt Mouse paw's fear radiate onto her pelt. 

They reached a pond, It's clear water was almost frightening. ''I'm going to teach you how to swim.'' 

Mouse paw gulped, and nodded. ''Follow me,'' She mewed. Slowly going into the water,

She reached the deep end, Where she kicked off and paddled. Her eyes watched closely has Mouse paw entered the water, 

He was paddling towards her when, Plop. His head was under water, Rose storm dove down. her short sleek fur 

was unbothered, Her webbed paws were easier to reach the brown tabby. She pulled him back up the the surface, Bringing him to the Shallow end. 

''Next time kick off,'' She mewed sternly. His eyes were wide with terror. 

''Y-You have-'' He hesitated, ''Webbed paws? Yeah. I'm not originally from Shadow Clan.'' She mewed, 

''Let's continue.'' She padded into the deep end, Mouse paw followed. His eyes were confident,

''Kick your back legs outwards, Then paddle with your front legs.'' She instructed, ''Not like that, Your flailing around. Slowly, Keep your front paws under Neath the water'' 

Mouse paw did what she told him, He suddenly was doing it. ''Good, Now come to me.'' She mewed, at the deepest end of the huge pond. 

Her apprentice paddled towards her quickly, She nodded. ''It's going to take a bit to master it,'' 

''Let's get back to camp, Then we can continue.'' She mewed, 

Her fur dripped with water, While Mouse paw groomed his clean in the sunlight of the clearing. 

She blinked shaking her pelt, Padding away towards the Warriors den. Laying in her nest, 

Her eyes gleamed as she looked at Rowan cloud. Her chest fluttered, A sudden light filled her heart. 

She shook her head, Resting it on the moss. Slowly falling asleep, 

The next morning Mouse paw and Rose storm were at the pond again. 

''Now, Go up. And dive, Flatten your ears to your head.'' She mewed, Diving down where it took a while. But she batted the darkened floor. 

She resurfaced moments later, Mouse paw nodded. ''I'll be right there,'' She mewed. He dived down,

Rose storm a few moments after him also dived down. The tom was struggling to pull himself downwards,

She pushed his ears flat, Then his tail. The tom paddled slowly down, But shot up to resurface. 

Rose storm calmly paddled upwards also, Mouse paw was breathing heavily. 

''Can't hold your breath, Let's practice.'' She mewed, Plugging her nostrils from any air. 

Mouse paw followed, He would exhale. But re-try, Rose storm finally exhaled. 

''Let's do this again.'' She mewed, Diving down. Mouse paw at her heels, His tail was lowered, His ears were flat.
