Silversky padded up to the tall tree. His gray fur shimmered from the sun's rays sneaking through the cracks in the trees. He turned to face Camopaw. "As you probably know, this is the Owl Tree. Let me see you catch something." he paused, waiting for the young cat to respond. "As you know, Swiftstar will be holding a ceremony soon. We don't know when though." Silversky said. He felt all grown up now. Although he's Swiftstar's son, he doesn't feel like he's that special.

Camopaw was excited that she would soon be a warrior. She went off into the woods and saw a small mouse eating something. She krept towards it not so quiet and she went for it but she was too loud so she didn't catch it.

Silversky shook his head, expecting more from this cat. "Watch me." he said. He opened his mouth, showing his white, sharp teeth. His scent glands scented a squirrel. A gust of wind blew, down-wind from him. Yep, deffinately squirrel. Right in front of me... He thought in his head so he wouldn't scare it away. He crept towards it, light on his feet. He had the urge to swish his tail back and forth, but didn't because it would make noise scruffing upon the earth's floor. He stepped 4 times with his back feet, not moving anywhere, and pounced. With a blow of his paw, it was dead. "Vwah la." he said, proudly.

"I can do that!" Camopaw had said. She sniffed and she scented a mouse. She got down on her paws and stepped lightly towards it. She then pounced hard on it. It was dead with a blow of her paw. She knew she wasn't good and that Silversky was probably expecting more from her. But she tried her best to be the best apprentice.

"Good, good. But that was plain! You've got to add some style to it. Your own style." he said. He gestured to her like "watch me" and leaned down so his belly flattened against the ground. He backed up and pounced, letting the mouse see him. Some how, he made it look like he was going to the right, but he landed to the left. Since the mouse thought he was going to the right, it ran to the left, and ran right into Silversky's unsheathed claws.

"But I don't know how to put style in my hunting!" Camopaw snapped at her mentor. After she had said that she kind of wished she hadn't said that. It was a little rude to say to a warrior.

Silversky looked at her, irratated. "It was only a suggestion. And I can't help it if you're dumb enough to not personalize hunting skills." he said and turned his back to her. He regretted he said that, but didn't really care. He padded a few tail-lenghts away from her and hunted out a vole.

Camopaw was surprised that her mentor said that to her and then just walked away. She didn't know if she should be mad at him or not. I probably shouldn't be mad at him until after I am made a warrior, Camopaw thought. She then went off and hunted a vole, magpie, and mouse. She went back to the owl tree and hoped that she would impress her mentor.

Silversky looked at Camopaw's pile of fresh kill. "Good job. You learned from the Master." he said and gestured towards his pile. He had 3 mice, 2 magpies, 2 voles and a rabbit.

Camopaw was amazed at how good her mentor was. "Good job to you too!" Camopaw meowed to her mentor. "Now can we work on fighting? I want to learn how to kick some butt!" Camopaw wanted to know how to fight really badly!

Silversky let out a purr of amusement. "All right," he sighed. "Now, let's work on your defense, first." he meowed. Silversky sat there for a moment, then swiped at Camopaw, claws sheathed. "Come on, you have to learn how to atleast dodge one simple swipe! I know it was unexpected, but it's not too hard." he meowed patiently. He smiled, and waited for a response.

"Well I am new at this. What do you expect from me!" Camopaw mewed. Her face hurt from slash across her face. It bothered her that her mentor always was yelling that she needed to do something that she didn't. "Try slashing at me and I will try to doge it," Camopaw said trying to show her mentor that she could actually do something.
