Hunting Lesson

[darktail]

Darktail sat in the forest waiting for Angelpaw to show up. His tail lashed back and fourth as he waited. He would have to have a talk with the apprentice when she showed up. His patience was growing thin Angelpaw was late. Darktail just waited as patiently as he could he would just have to wait. He saw a mouse and decided to hunt while he waited. He stalked up quietly behind the mouse and got in the hunters crouch. Then he lept catching the mouse in his claws there was still no sigh of Angelpaw. Darktail settled down to eat his fresh-kill and when he was done he got up and walked around impatiently. How was Angelpaw going to become a warrior if she wasn't even on time for her hunting lesson? He settled down and let his claws dig deep into the ground to get rid of his anger.

Angelpaw scurried through the forest, her paws hitting the leaves and sticks, every sharp stone no match for the anger Darktail would show her. Her breath was coming heavily and she burst through the trees, skidding to a stop before she collided with Darktail. "Darktail!" she gasped. "I'm so sorry I am late, I..." she stopped mid-sentence, silenced by glare she was given to by her mentor. Shrinking back slightly, Angelpaw said quietly, "Sorry again, Darktail."

All Darktail could say was "You're late....." He spoke in a harsh tone but only because he wanted what was best for Angelpaw. He looked at her and asked "How do you expect to become a warrior when you're late for you're first day of training?" His neck fur bristled with anger but he forced it to lie flat again. He then forgot all anger but still glared at her his eyes blazing furiously. He just said "Today i will teach you to hunt." Then he saw a mouse scurrying away from them and meowed in a whisper "Watch closely." He stalked up to the mouse and when he was close dropped into the hunters crouch. His tail waved back and fourth behind him then he sprang at it. Darktail picked up the mouse and dropped it in front of her "I have eaten already so you may have this" he mewed. He added "Now i wan't you to try Angelpaw."

The words stung more than an Adder bite at Snakerocks. Angelpaw ignored the mouse, saying she wasn't hungry, and padded into the forest. Her ears twitched as she looked for some prey, and she hunched down as she heard a mouse. Stealthily, she crept forward, her fluffy tail waving, and pounced on it, killing it easily in her eager jaws. She went back to Darktail slowly, as if to emphasize her slowness, and dropped it in front of him. She sat down and licked her paw, showing him without words and in politeness that she could be a stubborn as he was. "Here, Darktail." she murmured. "I'm still not hungry." she amended her first statement, and continued to lick her paw, ignoring the mouse scents that wafted into her nose. She would not eat, for she wouldn't be able to eat under Darktail's harsh glare. It wasn't her fault she was late. She had tried to scarf something down beforehand but had gotten sick and had to stay a while longer with the medicine cat. But she wouldn't tell Darktail that. What if he told her something mean, like to suck it up, a warrior shouldn't be held back by sickness? She didn't want to have the trouble. Instead she swiped her paw over her face and waited.
