"Hey, Sorrelflair! Can we please go hunting, now!" Frostpaw wondered. "Sure, why not," mewed Sorrelflair.  I grabbed and nice mouse and headed through the gorse Sorrelflair close behind. "Show me what crouch you'd use to hunt a rabbit." Meowed Sorrelflair. I got down on the ground, paws outstretched and claws gripping the dirt floor. I rushed through the tall grass and was as quite as a blow of wind on my fur. "Perfect! You were outstanding!" Praised Sorrelflair. I was a bit embarrassed by it but I didn't care. "Show me the crouch for hunting a vole, Frostpaw." Mewed Sorrelflair. I laid on the ground without saying a word. My paws were outstretched and my fur lay bristling. I pounced on the vole without a second to spare. "Great job, Frostpaw!"
   We walk towards the training hollow and we sit across from each other. "Fight me." Sorrelflair demanded. "Um, OK." I mewed. I pounced and flew behind her, flank bristling. "Hey!" I hissed. "Faster! Don't hesitate." Sorrelflair growled. I pounced a second time, a little faster. I scratched her flank and fell lopsided. "Ow! That hurt." I complained. "Keep trying, I believe in you, Frostpaw." Meowed Sorrelflair. I pounced at her for the last time and pinned her to the ground. "Yay! How'd I do, Sorrelflair?" I mewed. "Amazing! That was perfect!" Praised Sorrelflair. We walked back to camp and I noticed cats rushing towards fourtrees. Oh no! I thought. I quickly slipped away and headed to fourtrees.
     "Sorry I was late, guys! I was training." I meowed excitedly. I saw Ashflower, Goldenfoot, Rocksoil, Herbpaw, and Torchflame. "Ready to go, guys?" Asked Rocksoil. "Yup, let's go!" Herbpaw meowed. We headed down the slope near RiverClan. We stopped to hunt a bit and I caught a vole, two mice and a rabbit. We shared a lot of prey during the day. We found shelter early so we settled in. We fell asleep early and we lay in clumps on the soggy moss bedding we found near a clump of ferns.
   I woke up with Herbpaw prodding me in the side. "Wake up! Wake up, Frostpaw!" Herbpaw yowled. "What's wrong?" I mewed sleepily. "We should keep continuing our long journey." Meowed Herbpaw. I let out a marrow of laughter. "You woke me up for that!" We both laughted. Herbpaw and I started to playfully fight along the border. The frozen gorge made me feel safer. We both yowled at the same time, "hunter!" That woke the rest up. "What? Where? Hunter?" Meowed Ashflower. "Its a game!" I growled.
     We padded up near snakerocks and heard a distant yowl of alarm. "Herbpaw!" I yowled. "No!" I let out a wail of distress and fell to the ground. "Why!" I wailed. "Why him!"
