    Flowerpaw opened her eyes. She sighed and got up, upset that she didn't have any friends. She got out of the apprentices den and padded to the fresh kill pile, where loose groups of cats were gathered, talking, laughing, and eating. Too bad none of them would invite Flowerpaw.

    Blueparadise purred and rolled from her nest, ready to start another cold and dewy day. " Good morning! " Blue called into the apprentice den, aiming to wake some of them up for a hunt.

    Flowerpaw blinked and looked up. "Hello, Blueparadise," she meowed.

    "Yeah!" Flowerpaw bounced out of the den and shot through the exit.

    "Let's go! Let's go!" Flowerpaw danced on her paws, then stopped. When her mentor took her out to hunt, she was always supposed to...well, she always had to follow lots of rules...would Blueparadise make her do the same thing?

    Giggling, Blue tagged on behind Flowerpaw - obvious joy in her face. Having to pause when the apprentice did, Blueparadise frowned and tipped her head slightly. " What's wrong? "

    "Um...do we have to...follow some rules?" Flowerpaw shuffled her paws. "'No hunting on other territories. Don't hunt at the borders. You must be in a proper hunting crouch and catch something for it to count. You can only hunt when a warrior is around.' Those are the things my mentor tells me," Flowerpaw mewed.

    " Woah! " Blueparadise startled and rocked back as the list of rules streamed at her. " Not at all dear! Just, don't hunt on another clans territory and have fun! "

    Flowerpaw's eyes lit up. "Really? That's great!" She whirled around and dashed off into the forest and started sniffing the air for prey.

    Flowerpaw turned around, grinning, to look at Blueparadise. "I found a hole full of rabbits!" She flicked her tail at the ground, where several baby rabbits trembled, and a bigger one staring up at them with fearful eyes.

    "Wha...?" Flowerpaw had one of thse expressions that meant, "Aw, man!" , "What do you mean?!?", and "But...!"

    " Their young! Let them grow and breed then we can get a healthier meal out of them, " There was some logic in her reason for not killing them. " There's a whole bunch of snow shoe rabbits up the hill, why don't we try there? "
