    "Now we put what you learned to use." Gingershade meowed. "Scent the air and tell me what you smell."

    Foxpaw put her nose in the air. she sniffed for any prey. she smelled a squirrel. It was about 7 fox lengths away, and she dropped into the crouch. She stalked the prey, carefully edging her paws over the leaves. She kept her tail straight. everything was going perfect.....



    CRACK!


    A leaf under Foxpaw's left paw crackled and split. The squirrel eyed her and shot up a tree. "Oops," Foxpaw shrugged her shoulders innocently

    "Good try! There's a vole just over that brush, try again." Gingershade nodded, giving Foxpaw a boost.

    Foxpaw tried the same thing, but kept her focus on the prey, not her paws. She was within pouncing range. Foxpaw wiggled her haunches and leapt. She barely made it, but she landed on the vole's tail. "What now?" Foxpaw beckoned her mentor

    "Well you kill it," Gingershade meowed walking up to her. "Snap it's neck with your jaws." The warrior winced at those words, because it reminded her of her mothers death.

    At her apprentice's words, Gingershade almost wanted to laugh. But she kept her calmness, "Yes and don't forget to give thanks to Starclan for its life."

    Gingershade smiled, "You did it! Foxpaw you made your first catch on your first day!" She said switching the subject.

    "I think that's enough for today, tomrrow I'll show you the territory." Gingershade said with a smile. "It's pretty big, I want you rested."
