Thornpaw woke up to find the thin light rays shining through the moss at the ceiling. He stared at the RainClan and MoonClan cats. The orange tabby she-cat stepped up to him. "So the story's real.." she said, smiling. Thornpaw nodded. "I'm Thornpaw.." he introduced, blushing. She smiled. "I'm Firepaw, of RainClan!" Smiling at him, she added, "Maybe we could be good friends and train together!" Her pale green eyes brightened at the idea. Thornpaw shrugged. "I guess.." Firepaw jumped up and down. "All right!" she exclaimed. Thornpaw sighed and rolled his eyes. This apprentice was excited!! Firepaw stopped and licked Thornpaw's thick pelt. "Maybe you could teach me how to catch a sparrow!" she said suddenly. Thornpaw shrugged. "Sure..." he answered slowly. Firepaw's tail curled up in excitement. "C'mon then! Let's go!!" Dragging Thornpaw out, she left the den to go to the woods.
"Okay.. you crouch like this.. then SPRING!!!" Thornpaw shouted, jumping on the brown sparrow. He killed it with a nip in the neck. "You try." he said, nodding toward the bird to the left. Firepaw nodded, and copied Thornpaw. She jumped and caught the bird, with a swipe instead. "Good!!" he exclaimed with triumph. It was quite fun teaching someone how to hunt. Smiling, he said, "You're a great hunter!!" Firepaw's eye's sparkled with happiness. "THANKS!" she replied. "You're better!" Thornpaw licked her ear. "I trained... I'm accutally almost done with my training, and you just started for about 4 moons! That's pretty good!" Firepaw nodded in aggreement. "I guess it is.." she mumbled in embarresment. Thornpaw smiled and padded toward her. "Lets go get the prey back to camp." Firepaw padded next to Thornpaw, and they walked back to the den together, each holding their prize.
