Spottedheart padded out of the brush with Dustpaw right behind her. The young apprentice stared in awe.
"Today Dustpaw, I will teach you how to hunt."
Dustpaws eyes lightened with excitement. Spottedheart dropped into the hunters crouch and moved silently throught the undergrowth. When she caught the scent of a mouse, she pin-pointed were it was and leapt. She leapt with her claws out stretched and when she lande, the creature was caught in her claws dead. "Wow," breathed Dustpaw.
"Now it is time for you to do as what i did," meowed Spottedheart.

Dustpaw gaped.
"Okay," she mewed crawling forward, wagging her haunches with her tail flicking continuously against the earth. Lifting her beige muzzle to the sky, she caught the scent of vole, and she crept forward, seeing its small shape scuttling along a branch lined against the ground. She leapt forward, catching it in her claws. It slipped out, bleeding and limps, so the apprentice bounded after it for a few moments before she caught it in her paws again, nipping it, trying to act skillfull.

Spottedheart watched as her daughter tried to catch the vole. When she had caught it Spottedheart padded up and meowed," You did well for your first time Dustpaw. But don't let it slip out of your claws like it did just now. Now," Spottedheart meowed," try again."

She nodded and sighed quietly, sitting in the crouching position as she crept across the forest floor, strewn with twigs and autumn leaves. Seeing a sparrow pecking at teh roots of a poppy, she suddenly burst forward, catching the bird by its wings and bringing it down hard. First she dazed it, but she gouged her claws into its back, cracking its spine. She purred with pride and grabbed the prey in her jaws, turning to her mother.

Spottedheart's eyes shined as she gazed at her daughter's catch. She padded up purring and licked the apprentice between the ears.
"That was a wonderful catch. Well I'd say you would probably be as good as Sandstorm when you grow up. Now lets do it once more."

"Okay!" She mewed excitedly. She glowed at her mothers praise. She turned and began to stalk squirrel sitting at the base of a large tree. She ran forward and gripped its tail in her claws, scraping it down the tree. It squealed in pain before she used the other paw to claw at its throat, killing it. grabbing it in her jaws she spat it out, hissing, "yuck! Its so furry!" She used a claw to pull out a clump of squirrel fur from her teeth.
OOC: Now the assesment *laughing out loud!*

Spottedheart gleamed agian with proudness of her daughters accomplishment. "Lets take this prey back to camp and then you can go and relax. Because I have a surprise for you tomorrow."
And with that Spottedheart and Dustpaw grabbed their prey and made for the camp.
