  4. Spiritpaw crouched, her belly almost touching the ground. Her legs were shaking, and she bit her lip. She looked up hopefully at her mentor.

  7. Clawstep purred. "I know, but I could tell you were nervous. I can also tell if they weren't shaking it would have been perfect. Good job."

  8. Spiritpaw felt her ears get hot with embarassment. "Thanks" She meowed, meaning it. "So what are we going to do next?" She mewed quietly, changing the subject.

  10. "I want to learn how to... uhh..." Spiritpaw winced. She wanted to learn everything. "uhh... how to stalk prey quietly??"

  11. Clawstep nodded. He bit off the top of a dandelion and gently set it on the ground and backed away. "Pretend the dandelion is a vole. I'm going to stalk it and catch it." Clawstep crouched slowly, low to the ground, and started padding towards it. He finally pounced and landed gracefully on top of the dandelion. "Now you try."

  12. Spiritpaw crouched down, legs shaking, making her way slowly to the dandelion. Right as she was about to pounce, she tripped. She looked at her mentor embarassed, "That will need some work..."

  13. Clawstep purred. "It's ok, you're learning. I even mess up myself sometimes. Watch." Clawstep repeated the routine again but this time he landed on his side with a thud, laughing. He looked at Spiritpaw, his eyes gleaming. "See?"

  14. Spiritpaw nodded, and didn't feel as embarassed. Everyone must make mistakes. "Let me try again" She mewed, and started off by crouching. Her belly was really close to the ground, and she looked at the dandelion. Her eyes narrowed at it, and she took one step. Then another and another until she pounced lightly on it, and she purred. I did it!

  17. Clawstep stared into Spiritpaw's eyes and for a moment he completely lost focus and all he could do was look into Spiritpaw's sparkling eyes. "Um..what else do you want to do or talk about?"

    -Clawstep (lol XD)

    ReplyDelete
  18. Spiritpaw shrugged. "I kinda feel like talking, but I don't know what to talk about..." Spiritpaw mewed shyly.
    ~Spiritpaw (lol)

  19. Clawstep smiled. "Ok. Tell me about yourself. What do you like?"

  20. "I like hunting, swimming, training, fighting in battles, fishing, swimming..." Spiritpaw realized she said swimming twice. She smiled sweetly.

  21. Clawstep nodded. "Admirable hobbies. Falling for any toms?" Clawstep laughed and then looked at Spiritpaw.

    - Clawstep (lol sorry if u didnt lik tht comment)

  22. Spiritpaw sat up straighter. "Of course!"
    ~Spiritpaw(I don't mind)

  23. Clawstep purred. "Really? Well I hope everything works out between you two. He's a lucky tom."

    - Clawstep (XD)

    ReplyDelete
  24. Spiritpaw nodded, "Yeah" She looked at Clawstep for a brief moment, "Are you falling for any she cats?"
    ~Spiritpaw

  25. Clawstep hesitated and blinked. "Yeah...I think I am, but I don't think she likes me back."

    - Clawstep

    ReplyDelete
  26. Spiritpaw was tempted to ask him who he liked, but she didn't. He respected her feelings for a tom, so she would do the same. "I bet she likes you back! Your nice, strong ..." Spiritpaw got carried away.

  27. Clawstep smiled. "Thanks Spiritpaw." He cuffed her ear and then looked at her. "Tell me about this tom you like." Clawstep started to blush.

  28. "Well, he has a handsome brown pelt with green eyes I can't stop looking at" SPiritpaw meowed.

  29. Clawstep blinked. "Lynxspirit?"

    - Clawstep (lolzzzzz clueless Clawstep)

    ReplyDelete
  30. Spiritpaw shook her head, "No! Its... Its..." Spiritpaw pauses. Okay, well I don't want Clawstep to think that I like Lynxspirit, so I guess I will tell him.. Spiritpaw told herself. "Its you" Spiritpaw mewed quietly, and looked at his eyes.
    ~Spiritpaw (lol)

  31. Clawstep was in shock and all he could do was just sit there staring at Spiritpaw. Finally he regained consciousness and smiled. "Me? I like you too Spiritpaw." Clawstep nuzzled Spiritpaw but then stopped and looked at her. "What are we going to do though? A warrior and an apprentice can't be together, but I really want to be with you!"

    -Clawstep

    ReplyDelete
  32. Spiritpaw smiled when Clawstep said he liked her also, but she frown. She knew a warrior and an apprentice can't be together as mates. I guess I have to wait until I become a warrior... Spiritpaw told herself sadly. "Well, I guess I will just have to train my hardest to show Pouncestar that I'm meant to be a warrior!" Spiritpaw meowed happily, not realizing this could take a while.

  33. Clawstep nodded slowly. "Yeah but you're only 7 moons. Maybe I can talk to Pouncestar. I'm scared though Spiritpaw, wonder if we get caught?"

    -Clawstep

    ReplyDelete
  34. "I guess you can talk to Pouncestar, but..." SPiritpaw sighed. She was the perfect age of any apprentice. "I don't know..."

  35. Clawstep sighed but then smiled. "Let's not worry about the future, let's just focus on right now." Clawstep purred and began to twine tails with Spiritpaw.
