the Black Tom bounded through the snow making large paw prints on the white ground. it would be easy for the others to follow his trail...his pawsteps wern't exactly...small.
Kashclaw slpowed his pace and looked around for a sign of life, and then he found a small light trail leading off to his right. the tom followed it, keeping his scenses alert, and finally he came aross the small grey, but pittifullly scrawny mouse. pickings wern't very good, but Kashclaw wasnt about to complain. he pounced on the mouse, killing it instantly. he looked up to see if the others were there yet

Prettypelt smiledand said. "Good catch, Mr. Deputy." She wasn't about to let this fun name go to waste. She crouched down low, her hot blue eyes following the brown creature. It was scrawny, but two could share it and that was a big improvment. With a powerful spring from her haunches Prettypelt was about the rabbit and swiftly cracked its neck with her teeth.

"Wow!" Spirit said in amazement. She dropped down into a crouch like the others, and clumsily snuck forward, pouncing on a vole. To her great surprise, she caught it. She held it, squirming, between her paws, wondering what to do. She recalled Prettypelt biting its neck... so she did too. It immediately went limp. "Did I kill it?" she asked hushedly, thinking it was a bad thing to kill the prey.

"Wow! That was even better than when I first tried!" Prettypelt purred. "Be careful with rabbits though, they are lighting fast, you have to be very quiet. It's best to work as a team to catch one if you're inexpierienced."

"Okay," she said. She felt better seeing as she obviously didn't do anything wrong.
OOC: sorry, can't think of anything else to put..

Prettypelt smiled and scanned the area again. She spotted a rather large mouse for the season and flicked Seapaw with her tail on the shoulder, whispering. "Let's see you in action."

Suddenly there was a scuffle from the bushes. Bearpaw trotted forward, a raven clasped in his motuh. The apprentice was best at hunting birds and rabbits, and the massive blakc bird was proof of that. He set it silently on the ground, and watched Seapaw, interted to watch another cat hunt. When he saw that Spirit had caught somthign he nodded incongradulations to her, a gaurded look of congratulations on his face.

Good job, said Bearpaw quietly to both Spirit and Seapaw.

"Thanks!" Spirit said to Bearpaw. She knew she had a lot to learn. She remembered her own clumsy stalk, and how her crouch felt so unnatural. It was like second nature to the Clan cats...
OOC: Gotta go! Bye!

Kashclaw nodded with approval at Spirit's catch "good job for your first try! but i think what might help you would be to keep lower..." he nodded to her rump, remembering how awkwardly it had stuck up "...and also, try to kill it when you land, otherwise it might slip away, by grabbing ahold of it with your claws."
He looked over at bearpaw and meowed to him "this goes for you too, it'll be an early lesson!"
OOC: are Spirit's claws clipped?

OOC: No. She's not 'fixed' either... her Twolegs never did any of that, they would only buy her food and water. (EVIL TWOLEGS! >.<)
IC: "Okay," Spirit said. She looked around. There were no more small animals to catch, so she stalked a nearby leaf. She crouched down again, it felt smoother this time, and she flattened herself to the ground as best she could. Then, she pounced on it, spearing it on the end of her claws with a little purr of satisfaction.

Bearpaw set his raven down disdainfully, and leaped into the air, snatchign a thrush out of the air wiht wickedly quick claws.
