"Give him a break. He's only an apprentice. We all made mistakes when we were apprentices." Ivorypelt mewed quietly. She slowed and parted her jaws to take in the scents around her, and the first thing she identified was squirrel. Her head darted towards where the scent was coming from. About 10 fox lengths away was a squirrel eating an acorn. She shifted position, making sure she was downwind, and quietly crept toward the prey.

Thunderpaw was trying hard not to bounce on his paws to keep from exitement. Then thinking about being an apprentice, next moon he would be a warrior....this never occured to him. Firestar stood still, as did the others, waiting and watching silently before they started hunting.

Ivorypelt felt the wind change direction and darted forward, pouncing as the squirrel turned to bolt away after scenting her. But it was too slow, and her fangs sank into its neck before it had a chance to wriggle away. She picked the squirrel up in her jaws triumphantly as she turned back to the other warriors and a way too excited apprentice. There was a slight pang in her heart at the sight of the apprentice. She had yet to recieve her first aprentice, but there were two kits in the Clan. There's still hope at least.[/color]

Firestar nodded, as to say say good job. Thunderpaw was listening eagerly for the chance of hearing something when he saw a thrush pecking for seeds at a nearby tree root. Starclan, please let me catch it, Firestar is here!!! he prayed quickly as he crouched down and moved to the right direction of the wind. He started to stalk slowly through the undergrowth. He was less than a foot behind it when suddenly it let out an alarm call that rang loudly through his ears. Thunderpaw punced as the bird was springing up to fly. He missed. But he wasnt going to let this get him. He jumped quickly, catching it by the tail, and pulled it down, batted it two times and it was dead. He picked it up, feeling warm and exited. He dropped it infront of Lionclaaw. "well done!" Lionpaw whispered as he burried it and would come to recieve it later.

Ivorypelt set the squirrel down and burried it for later, and rested her tail tip on Thunderpaw's shoulder. "Not many warriors would try that, nice job." she purred, her black whiskers twitching in amusement. That was quite the trick. she thought. He'd be a good warrior, as long as he calmed down and wasn't quite so excited all the time.

Lionclaw beamed at his apprentice, pride shown all on his face. Firestar beckoned brambleclaw to take the lead as he beckoned to the other to move along. He padded over to Ivorypelt and asked in a low, but friendly voice. "so why do you smell mixed with windclan?"

"I went to go by the lake, close to WindClan territory, that's all." Ivorypelt repeated as she padded alongside Firestar. Her ears perked as she thought she heard a rustle in the brush, but it was only the wind. Darn, need another mousebrained squirrel to be sitting out in the open again. she thought, an annoyed look in her eyes.

"as you say...."Firestar said, deciding he would not ask again, unless neccessary. He ran to catch up with brambleclaw. Brambleclaw punced and got a squirrell. He carried it back and burried it and then turned to firestar while lionclaw was stalking a bluebird. "did you smell windclan by any chance? or am i just turning scentless???"he asked with an edge of humor in his voice. Firestar merely just replied with "maybe"

Ivorypelt felt a wave of worry wash over her as Firestar went to go talk with Brambleclaw. That can not be good. I'm gonna get caught! she thought, lowering her gaze to her paws. Some grass rustled nearby, and Ivorypelt lowered herself into a crouch and crept over. A vole was sniffing through the roots of a tree, and Ivorypelt sprang on it, killing it in one quick bite. She went back and half-heartedly burried the vole with all the other fresh-kill.

Brambleclaw still wasnt going to leave it like that. "im serious, do you think those filthy windclan cats have tresspassed on our territory? Im getting sick over tresspassers........" Firestar said "no,no i dont think its that, just dont worry about it."he siad. "if it makes you stop asking me - go patrol the windclan border - take lionclaw with you" he said as lionclaw left thunderpaw with firestar and set of with brambleclaw.
