Cloudpaw ran through a lush, green, sunlit forest chasing mouse, she was so close to getting it, its scent bathed her tongue. "Cloudpaw!" she hear a voice say from somewhere in the distance, then the ground started moving making her whole body shake she heard the voice calling her name again. She closed her eyes, and sunk her claws into the ground. When she opened her eyes again she was laying in her nest in the apprentice den, her claws dug into the soft moss. Wildpaw was standing over her using a forepaw to shake her awake, "Cloudpaw, Cloudpaw. Wake up! Dawn patrol come on! don't wake the others she whispered pointing her tail to Mallowpaw, Bramblepaw and Echopaw sleeping. "W-what?" She said. "O-oh okay then." she meowed. She stood up, shook out her pelt and padded out into the clearing to see Gingersplash sitting licking her tail fur, Wildpaw and Iceriver talking their heads close, so they wouldn't wake the camp, Kestrelfeather lay stretched out in the clearing, soaking up the sun. She could tell they had been waiting a while for her. "Sorry guys I didn't mean to keep 당신 waiting." "Let's just go before the rest of camp wakes up." Kestrelfeather mewed flicking his tail tip angrily as he padded out of camp. Wildpaw and Iceriver ran out following him Gingersplash stood up and padded over to her "Next time remember to try and wake up early when I tell 당신 당신 have dawn patrol the 일 before." She meowed racing out of camp. I'll make it up to them she thought I'll be the best hunter today, I'll climb to the 상단, 맨 위로 of a 나무, 트리 I'll learn tons of new battle moves. She ran out of camp after them. Once they were done resetting scent markers and patrolling the borders they started heading back to camp but she stayed and got into a hunting crouch. "you coming?" Gingersplash said looking over her shoulder. "No thanks, I'm going to hunt." Cloudpaw mewed. "Okay I'll see 당신 back at camp then.." Gingersplash said. Cloudpaw nodded and opened her mouth to pick up and scents of prey. She instantly picked up the scent of mouse. She narrowed her eyes as she saw it, a brown plump 쥐, 마우스 that was nibbling at a seed 의해 the base of a big beech tree. She silently creeped closer to it, keeping her tail down, pressed against her side. Then when she was within reach of it she leaped and landed, sinking her claws into the morsel and killing it with a clean, 빠른, 스위프트 bite to the neck. Later on she padded back to camp with her jaws full of prey, the 쥐, 마우스 she caught earlier, along with a squirrel, a trout, a 아구창 and a finch. She dropped them on the fresh-kill pile once she got back, gave the 아구창 to longtail, the 송어 to Frostclaw and her kits, the 다람쥐 to Hollyscent, then she shared the 되새 류, 핀치, 피리 새 류 with Echopaw. "Great job Cloudpaw." Pinestar meowed grabbing her 쥐, 마우스 and settling down to eat it. Once she and Echopaw finished the 쥐, 마우스 she headed out for training with Gingersplash. Once they got back to camp it was about sun high. She settled down in the clearing, beside Echopaw and they talked for a while. After that she went with, Echopaw, Gingersplash and Brackenflame to 나무, 트리 climbing practice. Once they got 집 she and Echopaw climbed straight into their nests and settled down, sharing tounges. " I can't wait for tomorrow, I'm getting 더 많이 used to being an apprentice now." Cloudpaw meowed in-between licks. "Me too." Echopaw meowed right before she fell asleep. Cloudpaw curled up in her nest and wrapped her tail over her noes. Then she fell asleep.
