Hawkstar led Redpaw to the battle hollow to practice fighting. "All right, attack me!" she ordered. As Redpaw lunged, she moved to the side. "Some advice. Aim for where I'm going to be, not where I am. And try to outsmart me, by trying something I don't expect." Hawkstar hoped that her own great battle training form Mistystar wasn't too good for Redpaw to train badly. She trusted her little apprentice and knew that he would make a great warrior, and maybe even leader.

Redpaw paused, thinking how to outsmart her great leader. She looked to her left, past Hawkstar, moving in that direction quickly for a second. Then, at the last moment, lunged towards the right of her at Hawkstar.

Hawkstar, unaware of the apprentice's movements until the last second, was knocked down, winded. Coughing out dirt, she managed to sputter proudly, "That was very good, Redpaw! You're a really quick learner. We'll have one more lesson today, on how to defend yourself." Hawkstar ran wildly around the hollow, which must have been a funny sight, and meowed, "Pretend I'm a ShadowClan warrior." She leaped on top of the apprentice being careful not to squish her, and waited for the apprentice's next movement.

Redpaw was almost winded by her leader's weight. She quickly sprang up as much as she could, and dashed out from under Hawkstar. She then lept on the other cat's back and pummeled her with her paws.

Hawkstar lay on the ground, dust swirling in her face, her mind whirling. At first she didn't recognize the red cat standing above her. Then she remembered. Her apprentice, Redpaw! "That is very good, Redpaw. I think that you're almost ready to become a warrior. Let's head back. Meet me at the River for hunting at Sunhigh!" she called.

Redpaw was happy! She was actually doing well. She went off towards the camp, estatic about her success.

Two sunrises later, Hawkstar met Redpaw in the hollow for her assessment. "Redpaw, I'd like you to go hunting for your final assessment. After you're done we'll battle train again before your ceremony." Hawkstar nodded towards the river. "I'd like you to try a bird or two, if you see one. I'll be watching. Good luck." Hawkstar touched noses with her apprentice of two moons and padded after her quietly as she walked towards the river.

Redpaw walked by the river, keeping all her senses alert. Suddenly, she smelt bird. She settled back onto her haunches, her natural instinct kicking in. She crept up until suddenly she lept, and caught the bird easily. She immediately smelled another after she thanked StarClan, and caught that one just as easily as the first. She walked to the river's edge. A bit later, she had caught 3 fish. She purred to herself. She was doing so well!

Hawkstar purred to herself with pride. Her apprentice would make a fine warrior.
