"Okay, Shadowpaw," Jaggedstar mewed to his apprentice, "Today I'm going to teach you how to hunt a bat."
Shadowpaw wiggled with excitement.
"Now, bats are flying creatures, which makes them very difficult to catch," he meowed, "Copy me."
Jaggedstar dropped into a hunting crouch, with his muscles bunched so he could leap at any moment. Shadowpaw copied him in earnest. She has the position almost exactly right! He thought to himself, "Put your hind end just a little closer to the ground, keep your tail flat," he meowed, "There! You've got it! Why don't we try it for real, now?"

OOC: Power-playing!
"I hardly can wait!" she purred. Finally something to use her well sharpened claws on. She heard something fluttering. She copied The crouch Jaggedstar showed her and waited for the screeching creature to appear. And there it was she leaped with claws unsheathed ready to make her first kill, but the creature fluttered between her outstretched paws and got away."Mouse dung I leaped to early!" she hissed disappointed in herself.

OOC My bad!
"It's okay, Shadowpaw," Jaggedstar purred, "It's the same for every cat on their first try. Here, let me show you again! You did really well!"
As Jaggedstar crouched down, a slim, black shape fluttered out of the nearby cave.
This is one bat I can't afford to miss. Jaggedstar thought to himself as he sprang. The small, furry body crashed against his huge paws as he brought it down. Pinning it on the forest floor, he took a small bite out of it.
"There," he mewed, "Now, why don't you try again?"

Shadowpaw as hard as it was for her had to admit Jaggedstars timing was perfect. Now she had to prove that she had potential. So she heard the high pitched screech of the winged creature fluttering in the dark. She concentrated very hard and leaped with all her strength and hooked the bat out of the air and finished it off at the cave ground with a swift bite. Proudly she presented her fresh kill:"Good enough for you?"she asked casually hiding her excitement. So there it was she finally made her first kill! And she was hungry for more.

"Is that good enough for me?" Jaggedstar mewed, "That was perfect! You did really well! Now, why don't you try again. After you've caught a couple more, we can head back to camp. I'll show you how to catch a rat tomorrow."

Hardly able to hide her excitement Shadowpaw pricked her ears again. There she heard it again the fluttering of tiny wings and their high pitched stretched. And she jumped again crushing the little creature against the stone wall with satisfaction. Pretty soon she caught one more. The one after that unfortunately got away, which made Shadowpaw hiss in anger. More at herself for getting overconfident, but the last one was another success. Happily she grabbed the three bats by their wings and patted over to Jaggedstar."Do you think those will fed a few hungry mouths." she mewed with a hint of pride. Her first day went quite well.

"You did very well," Jaggedstar replied to his excited apprentice, "Why don't we head back to camp? You can have first pick of prey tonight!"
He looked at his apprentice hard. She looked like she had the makings of a fine warrior.
"We'll do battle training tomorrow."
He turned and headed back to camp.
ooc/ I think we're done here!

"Really!!!Battle Training!!!" she squeaked excited before she could stop herself. Shadowpaw gave her shoulder a quick lick before she quickly padded after Jaggedstar toward the camp.
