    Cloverleaf sat outside of the Apprentices' Den, her tail neatly curled around her paws, and her patience was growing short. But, she waited a while longer, knowing that Astronomypaw's first day was going to be a bit tough. Cloverleaf always expected the best out of her Apprentices.

    Astronomypaw woke with a start, alarmed to see how few apprentices remained in the den. With a groan, the black and white tom jumped out of his nest and scrambled out of the apprentice den, only to find himself facing his mentor. "I'm so sorry," he mewed, twitching his ears. "I should have woken up earlier. I'm not usually late-" Astronomypaw broke off with a quiet sigh and dipped his head to look at his paws. What a great way to start training.




    The young tom had been out in the territory again the previous night, doing nothing but watch as the sky changed from a light blue to pitch black. He liked it, sitting there on his own. It calmed him and gave him time to think about things in peace. But it seemed as though it had just gotten him into trouble this time.

    Cloverleaf gave him a look that held a little amusement. "Since today is your first day in training, I'll let you choose what you'd like to do first. Hunting or Battle Training?" she said, already on her paws.

    The choice between hunting and battle training was an easy one for the young tom. "Hunting please," he mewed calmly, tail waving in the air. Although he knew that he would have to learn how to fight at one point, Astronomypaw wanted to put it off for as long as possible; he wasn't the violent type and didn't enjoy hurting others. Of course, he would do so in an instant for his Clan, but the tom didn't think he had it in him to kill. Then again, you couldn't say that until you were in that position.




    Luckily it seemed as though Cloverleaf wasn't too bothered about him being late, which have Astronomypaw the little boost he needed to get motivated. He was actually starting to get a little excited about hunting practice. The tom just hoped he would be able to take something back with him to show for it. It would be great to take a piece of fresh-kill he caught to the elders, knowing that he had caught it himself.

    "Into the forest it is," Cloverleaf said, her timid Apprentice following her. Shadowclan's swampy territory was avoided by most cats in other Clan's, but the she-cat loved it and liked taking walks in it. "Okay, first of all, let's see what you can smell and or hunt. What prey do you scent Astronomypaw?" Cloverleaf quizzed him.
