Learning to hunt

[| Soul |]

Foxpaw looked around at the trees. they were beautiful. He felt calm wandering the forest, although he couldn't help wonder if hes supposed to be doing something for the clan. He looked behind himself. Nothing. Just the small scuttering of a mouse. He tryed intently to focus in on it, but he couldn't quite locate it. he gave a sigh. He couldn't have, or wouldn't have caught that mouse anyways.

Featherstorm walked around. It was a nice day, sun shining, some small clouds. It wasn't very loud. A silence protruded the Boneclan territory. It was a peaceful silence, until he saw Foxpaw trying to hear a mouse. The small paws of the mouse echoed into his ears. He crouched down, pin pointing the mouse where it was, just a little left to Foxpaw. He flicked his tail at Foxpaw to stay silent hopefully, if the apprentice was watching. The warrior pounced quickly on the small rat, killing it, and showing it to Foxpaw. Putting it down, Featherstorm smiled at his apprentice, "Let learn how to hunt" The warrior said calmly.

Foxpaw saw the warriors signal and he froze. He watched in disbelief. 'How did it not hear him?' He questioned himself. He nodded at his mentor. Energy blazed through him. 'I'm going to be the greatest warrior, even if it takes me forever!' he thought. he always pushed himself to hard, but not many noticed it because he never really talks.

Featherstorm smiled, "Okay Foxpaw, first lets learn about different kinds of prey. Now, here are the rules, if you go to hunt a rabbit, you will have to be downwind it will hear you. With a mouse it is the opposite, it will feel you before it smells or hears you. So be light on your feet when you stalk a mouse.” He demonstrated a crouching pose, staying low, and pouncing on a piece of grass, "Follow me. I think I have the scent or another mouse." Featherstorm said, then taking of in the direction of the sounds.

Foxpaw watched intently. he made shre to make a note of everything in his head. He even tryed to copy his mentors pose. He was wobbly though. Cafeully, as to not scare the prey, he places each paw forward slowly making sure not to make a sound. He followed Featherstorm to where he said he heard more food.

Featherstorm stopped at a small clearing where they could see another mouse clearly. It was too busy eating something out of it's paws, "Foxpaw, try to balance yourself- use all of your paws. If the mouse notices, try to jump on it before it runs away." He said quietly, quoting he exxact words his montor, Longclaw had said. He was patient for him, and now Featherstorm needed to be patient for Foxpaw.

Foxpaw got low to the ground. His belly fur brushed the ground. It was uncomfortable to him, but he would have to get used to it. Placing one paw after another he silently crept up on the mouse. it sat up and pricked its ears. He panicked and pounced, catching it by it's tail. He almost removed his paw from the tail, but caught himself in the act and instead broke the mouse's neck killing it instantly. 'That was so sloppy!!' He thought angrly.
