Stormchaser padded outside the warriors den and sat down at the entrance yawning. Windkit was now 6 moons old and was ready to become an apprentice with some of the other kits she has known. Rosestar called all the cats to the highrock as she sat down with Windkit next to to her. All the cats sat down below. "Today i called you here for for a new apprentice" she said looking down at Windkit. "Today the new apprentice will be Windkit" she said looking at all the cats. Windkit looked at Rosestar nervously. "She will now be known as Windpaw" Rosestar said looking at Stormchaser. "And her new mentor will be Stormchaser" she said her eyes twinkling. Stormchaser looked at her surprised. Was he really going to be his own kits mentor? He padded up to the highrock where Windpaw sat peering down at him. All the cats mewed with aproval of the new apprentice. " Dustkit. You are old enough to become an apprentice." she meowed. "You will now be known as Dustpaw. Your mentor will be Skinnypelt" she bowed her head to touch noses."Every Cat is dismissed" Rosestar said with her nose high.

Stormchaser nudged his nose on Windpaw to follow him. Stormchaser padded toward the tunnel leading out of the camp. Windpaw followed behind, her little paws dragging when she walked. Stormchaser skidded out if the camp and headed to owl tree. "Where are we going?" Windpaw asked tilting her head to the side. "Owl tree" Stormchaser replied. He padded to a tree with an unfamiliar hole in the middle. "Does an owl live in there?" Windpaw asked tilting her head again. Stormchaser nodded.

"Were going to hunt here" he said sitting down as his tail moved. Windpaw bounced around excitedly scaring off a vole. "The first thing you need to do is find an animal" he said. Windpaw moved her ears to hear some steps on the ground. She spotted another vole race in the bushes. "Then you get ready to attack" he said getting up and getting in an attack position, his shoulders holding his weight. "Then attack!" He said pouncing on the vole and killing it in one bite. Windpaw watched with amazement in her eyes. Stormchaser put his nose on her pelt. "Your turn" he said with the vole in his mouth. Windpaw twitched her ears once more and put her muzzle to the ground trying to scent a mouse. She heard a tail whizzing past the forest floor. She swiped her paw, her claws unleashed, killing the mouse. Stormchaser nodded, with a look of couragement in his eyes. Windpaw grabbed the mouse in her mouth. Stormchaser padded with the vole, as Windpaw followed. He bounded off to the camp, with Windpaw behind him. As they stepped through the gorse tunnel, Windpaw and Stormchaser put the vole and mouse in the fresh kill pile. Stormchaser grabbed a chaffinch for himself. He padded to the warriors' den, and sat down on a patch of moss. "How was hunting?" Skinnypelt asked laying next to him. "I smelt a sign of Leafclan" he replied. Skinnypelt growled with a snarl showing back her teeth. He looked over, worried, from the smell. "Did you find a smell of fresh kill?" she asked. "No, luckily" he replied.
