He nodded and started to walk off. There had to be some prey. Where were they. His ear twitched with the small amount of noise in the bush. It was a mouse, a fat one too. Falconpaw smiled and started to walk lightly towards the mouse and pounced a little lopsided but caught it. He smiled as he picked it up in his mouth.

"Impressive, Falconpaw! That is probably the best of the prey we'll catch for a while. You were a little lopsided though. Try putting all the weight on your hind legs - evenly, wing your hips slightly to th right thn left with each step, watch your step, then pounce!" Rosestar said with a bright smile, obviously pleased. She stalked forward and looked around with a nonaudible sigh. Nothing. Prey was so scarce since the blizzard!

Falconpaw nodded and went to look for no prey. He didn't find any. There really wasn't a lot of prey. He would have to be patient. A small squirrel was sitting by a tree. He laid down making sure both hind legs were even and started to swing and pounced. The squirrel ran off but Falconpaw caught him by the tail. He noticed how small it looked, a baby sqirrel. He sighed and picked it up bringing it back.

"That was a good try, but try to put more weight onto your hind legs when you spring. It was a good thing this squirrel is a baby or it would have alerted the whole forest that we were here looking for prey." Rosestar said, looking down at the runt. She spotted a thrush and whispered. "Watch." She slowly stalked up on it and pounced. Her claw cut cleanly across the thrush's neck and it stopped moving. She carried it back and said. "More like that."

Bearpaw was about to follow but then he didn't. He didn't like to be watched as he hunted. Yes, he was an amazingly good hunter when it came to catching birds, but he hated to be noticed, so he may aswell go hunt alone. He flicked his tail in farewell and trotted off to hunt alone.

He smiled and nodded with a small, "Yes Rosestar." he said. He started to look around. There was not enough prey but keep trying. He was someone surprised of what he found. A very old, small vole. He was a bit puzzled but shook off the feeling. He crouched down low, stalking a bit. He spread out his weight then swung side to side carefully...and finally put a lot weight on his hind legs and pounced! He caught it quickly by bitting the neck. He watched as it slowly died, how he hated death but the purpose of the vole was for eating. He carried it back to Rosestar wondering what she would say.

"Very good! Continue hunting like that - next training session I'll teach you how to catch birds in trees...if we can find any that is." Rosestar said with a smile and stalked off, looking for more prey. It was probably worthless. They were very fortunate today, finding three peices of prey.

Falconpaw smiled, he did something good today. The lesson was over he guess since she was walking away. He looked back trying to find more prey but he didn't. It was Leaf-bare, hardly any prey. Guess that's all he could find for know. He started to walk back to the apprentice den and sat down.

Rosestar returned a bit later, stopping at the apprentice's den and saying with a dip of her head. "You did very well today. Meet me by the Training Hollow tomorrow at sunrise - make sure you eat." She padded back to her den after dropping off the prey at the hunter's pile and taking none for herself.
