Aspenstorm guided me down the huge camp tree and into a sandy clearing with a stream in one area. "First let's show you how to hunt!"He rasped
you should learn that I'm in no mood to train
Into thought.
"Fine."I mumbled loudly.
"I thought you wanted to hunt."Aspenstorm rolled his eyes and continued.
"Let's show you the hunter's crouch!"He meowed.
"Ok...."I mumbled.
"Crouch down flat and keep your tail straight and still above the ground so it doesn't move against leaves or get caught in undergrowth!"
Aspenstorm mewed. I rolled my eyes and copied this perfectly.
"Purrfect!"He meowed trying to amuse me.
I laughed but I didn't mean it.
"What is it with you?" He meowed impatiently.
"I just lost a very close kin thank you!"I flashed back.
"Ok. Ok. Fine you win..."Aspenstorm made a face of sympathy. I meowed trying not to show that i was angry or sad anymore.
"Meow meow meow. Let's hunt!"I exclaimed. "Ok then."Aspenstorm laughed and taught me how to glide forwards without sound.
He spotted a mouse that I can catch.
"Remember what I taught you."He whispered.
I checked the wind and found that I was upwind. I carefully glided to the downwind point and slid into the hunters crouch. I glided forward, wiggling my haunches ready to pounce.
I pounced on the mouse and killed it with a swift blow to the head.
"Good catch!!"Aspenstorm purred.
"O starclan, thank you for the lucky prey that fills us with strength."I whispered before saying my thanks to Aspenstorm
~Chapter 12~The clan is fed.
I carried my mouse to camp delighted when the cats complemented me for a first catch.
Crowpaw sat beside me once I was dismissed from my training. I licked his cheek, mind still fed on the cold nagging thoughts.
I leaned against him feeling a strange feeling in my heart. Love.I groomed his shoulder softly not caring who was watching. I closed my eyes wanting to be closer to him then anycat. He licked my cheek and I smiled forgetting the cold thoughts.I giggled softly in amusement when his tail got caught in a bush and he was startled. I gasped in love when he licked my cheek again. He purred softly.
I paused looking around for any cats who just watched. No one was watching to our relief.
"You're mine!"I said as I hugged him. He laughed.
"You're MINE too."Crowpaw whispered
I leaned against him feeling the warmth from his fur.
"You're fur is so soft and beautiful..."Crowpaw murmured as he buried his muzzle into my fur.
I giggled wanting him to do that more often
