Shimmerpool awoke to the sunlight filtering in the nursery. She blinked open her eyes, narrowing realizing that it must have been approaching sun high. She stretched to her paws and yawned. Oh how she missed her warrior duties, running through the forest under the trees, stalking prey over the moor. It just didn't feel right to be cooped up in a den all day. Her paws were itching to get outside and run with her mate. She sighed, knowing that she shouldn't have much longer being stuck here. She placed her head on her paws, wondering about her old apprentice Lightpaw.
Lightpaw was Shimmerpool's second apprentice, but had to give her up once she learned she was expecting kits. Lightpaw had taken the news better than any cat had thought, but it still made Shimmerpool worry sometimes. Firestorm sometimes took on the duties to help train Lightpaw while he trained his apprentice Breezepaw. The two apprentice were siblings after all...Shimmerpool let out another yawn, curling her tail around her body. She then placed her nose into her tail, drifting back to sleep.
------------------------
Firestorm stood outside of the warriors den, the bright sun turning his fur to flame. He arched his back in a stretched, annoyed that his apprentice had yet to appearer from the apprentice den. He made his way over to den, peering inside seeing the smoky black fur of his apprentice. Firestorm let out a hiss of annoyance. He then yowled inside the den quickly, pulling his head back to sit and wait. A few heartbeats later, Breezepaw poke his head out of the den, blinking sleep from his eyes; he let out a yawn.
"Breezepaw," Firestorm growled. "What are doing sleeping past sunhigh?"
Breezepaw sat up straight, curling his tail neatly around his paws. His eyes narrowed and he stared at his mentor with disgust.
"I'm tired from yesterday," he meowed curtly. "So I thought I should sleep later."
"An apprentice must learn that warriors have duties for their Clan before themselves."
Breezepaw rolled his eyes, looking away. Firestorm swatted a paw at the tom's head, claws sheathed. He glared at the young cat crossly and turned around towards the entrance to the camp.
"Come along," he sighed. "Let's go hunting."
Breezepaw jumped to his paws. "Can we bring Lightpaw?"
"She is already out. You both would be hunting together if some cat would have gotten up early."
Breezepaw flatten his ears to his head and looked away. He heard his mentor let out another sigh and bolt away. He dash after him, keeping with his pace as they ran across the bridge onto the moor. Once outside of camp, Breezepaw opened his mouth to scent the smell of prey. He spotted a young hare a few tail-lenghts away. He glanced at Firestorm who nodded in approval. Breezepaw waited for the wind to blow, blowing the scent of the rabbit his way. He knew that the rabbit couldn't scent him now so he'd have the better chance.
Making a dash for it, he raced towards the rabbit, his paws moving silently as he ran. The rabbit looked up to see him approaching and began to rub, but Breezepaw was faster. At once, he lung at the rabbit with paws outstrech. He held the rabbit to the ground and gave it a quick blow to the neck to silence it for good. Breezepaw smiled at his easy catch and held his fresh-kill in his mouth by the neck.
"Great catch," Firestorm meowed padding over to him. Breezepaw
was turning into a fine young hunter even if he seemed to not care what every other cat thought of him. Sometimes he thought the cat would end up flying away with all the air in his head. His apprentice dropped the fresh-kill to the ground and shrugged.
"It was an easy one," Breezepaw mewed. His eyes flashed. "It was too mouse-brained to even feel my paws on the ground."
Firestorm's tail began to twitch in rage. "How dare you not give thanks to StarClan for the prey they have brought you!" His voiced grew to a snarl making Breezepaw crouch lower to the ground. His ice blue eyes stared down at the tom and Firestorm turned away. He heard Breezepaw awkwardly get to his feet to follow him. Firestorm gazed up at the clouds wondering why did StarClan give him the most ungreatful apprentice he ever known?
