    Crystalpaw meekly walked to the big tree. "Hey Iceheart...what's that smell?"

    "Good," said Crystalpaw. "I hope that if its still there that it won't attack us." There was a growl. "Why did you make that sound?" Crystalpaw asked Iceheart.

    "Okay," Crystalpaw meowed uncertainly. "Is that sandy area the training hollow? Ooh, Iceheart, show me some of your awesome battle moves!"

    "I'm not you mentor though....well, maybe one. Pay attention." Iceheart jumped and twisted in the air landing on all fours facing the other direction. She turned back to Crystalpaw. "you use that to get out of the way of an enemy that is running towards you. you turn in the air so you can see them. you try."

    Crystalpaw blinked. Wow! she thought. Crystalpaw jumped, twisted...and landed flat on her back. "Oh....that hurt...." she groaned. Trying again and again, it was not until the tenth time when Crystalpaw finally landed on all fours(clumsily, but she did it). "Whew!" the apprentice exclaimed. "Training was harder than I expected!"

    Iecheart walked over to brush the sand of Crystalpaw's back. "It's only your first day. You did very well."

    ;D Crystalpaw beamed. She felt proud. "THIS IS A GREAT DAY-" Crystalpaw yowled, but then her stomach growled, and she felt embarrassed. :-[ "No way...I, like, just ate..." Crystalpaw mumbled.

    "actually, we've been here a long time." Iceheart pointed to the sun, showing that it had almost dissapeared.

    "Last time I checked, it was sunhigh!" Crystalpaw meowed, amazed by how fast time went by. "Are we going to go back to the camp now? Or are we going somewhere else? What about the fresh-kill pile? Do we need to hunt? For the Clan, right now?"

    "Relax. It's getting dark. I'm sure the freshkill pile is okay for today. Let's just go back to camp and eat." Said Iceheart.

    Crystalpaw nodded. "Okay!" She followed Iceheart back to the camp. As soon as they entered the camp, the apprentice darted to the fresh-kill pile and munched on a fat mouse. "Ome on, Ishhot! Yeet shumshin!" Crystalpaw meowed, mouth full.

    Iceheart purred as she walked to the freshkill pile and picked out a fish. "Don't talk with your mouth full!" She said, amused.

    Crystalpaw swallowed. "Sorry!" She said. "I forgot my manners. Hey Iceheart? Have you seen Sharpeyes? Is he back yet?" Crystalpaw looked into Iceheart's eyes, wanting to know.

    "I havent seen hin since he was made your mentor. I don't even know where he went." Said Iceheart, starting to look concerned. "I'll keep an eye out for him though."

    Crystalpaw's face fell. "Oh. But thanks anyway. Hey, I have an idea! Maybe you could take his place while he's gone!" The apprentice looked at Iceheart earnestly.

    "Yay!" Crystalpaw let out a meow of delight. She would have a mentor, after all. "Are we going to do anything right now?"

    "We will do the most important thing any warrior or apprentice can do. we will sleep until tomorrow so we will be ready for another day. we can hunt in the morning." Said Iceheart with a large yawn.
