Patchclaw knew what today was, the training day of Stonepaw and, like the small tom, was equally excited and, slowly creeping up on the apprentice in his den, silently skulked past the few cats out, ' i'll announce patrols in a moment!' Patchclaw thought happily. She continued, her pawsteps bringing her closer and closer to the furball and then, you'd expect somthing like Patchclaw pouncing on Stonepaw but no, she'd save that trick when they knew each other better and softly like a feather gliding perfectly through the wind, whispered, poking a claw into his fur, " Come on Stonepaw, wake up sleepy kitty," She chuckled and then nudged him very hard repeating, " Come now Stonepaw or I will have to leave without you!" She taunted, leaving her place to pad smoothly out of the den. While she waited, she glanced at the fressh kill pile which, once again, was pitfully low. She decided this afternoon she would hunt a ibt while showing Stonepaw the territorys. 'Leaf-bare is most closing in on us, much like a fox,' Patchclaw thought to herself. table & image manip © minty, image © sxc.hu

Stonepaw was rather tired after the late Gathering the night before. Thus, he appeared to be quite a heavy sleeper. When Patchclaw entered the den, the small apprentice merely rolled onto his side. He only finally woke when a nearby apprentice stepped on his tail while running out of the den, making him let out a yowl. He quickly jumped to his feet, noticing Patchclaw heading out of the camp in his peripherals. Giving himself a quick lick to his pelt, Stonepaw raced after his mentor. "Patchclaw!" he meowed as he caught up to the deputy, his eyes looking quite tired still. "Morning - are we training today?" the small apprentice meowed again with a large yawn, his tail swishing back and forth.

" Why good morning," She said in a warm greeting, " First, i think we should take a look at the boundaries before we start anything, and then, I might show you a bit on hunting," Patchclaws suspenseful voice coming in to play. She shuffled on her feet and started purring, and, with a slow pace, continued to camp entrance. She could see Stonepaw was tired so she remarked, " You know, being a warrior means giving up some of lifes comforts like, for instance, sleeping," She told him, nudging him and a quick lick to the shoulder, " Don't worry Stonepaw," She continued, " There will be many a-day where most warriors can just relax. You won't have anything to worry about." She continued slowly until Stonepaw could awaken some more, " So," Patchclaw meowed, interested of the gray tom, " What do you think you would do if, a cat attacked you? I'm just seeing what you know, don't feel to wrong," She joked. The tall grasses swayed and tickled Patchclaws fur, making her sneeze. " Ah, these winds, you'll also come to find, an open territory has its ups and downs," She continued. Her fur fluffing to block most winds. table & image manip © minty, image © sxc.hu

Bluestar had been bored all day and desperately wanted something to do as she watched Patchclaw and Stonepaw leave the camp. She decided to trail them, to see what her deputy would teach the new apprentice today. Soon, they were on the rolling hills of WindClan and the wind, thankfully, carried the deputy's voice to Bluestar. Battle training? Bluestar shrugged. 'What do you think you would do if, a cat attacked you? I'm just seeing what you know, don't feel to wrong.' Bluestar saw her chance to help with training and to have a little fun. She crept closer and then streaked across the grass and softly collided into Stonepaw, pinning him to the ground.She stood tall with a paw pressed gently on his throat, claws in. "An attack can come from anywhere at any time. Always be alert." She mewed softly and let Stonepaw get up. She turned her head to Patchclaw. "My apologies. I am just overseeing the training because honestly I am quite bored. I heard you talking about attacks and decided to make an example, if that is alright with you?" She asked politely and sat down, wrapping her furry tail around her paws neatly.



(So sorry. xD I just need to get Bluestar active.)

Patchclaw laughed and nudged the clan leader in the shoulder but didn't want poor Stonepaw to feel to bad and started licking his un - tamed pelt. " You see Stonepaw. You must be very alert of your surroundings, you may not know when somthing just might be lurking in the grasses," After they had gotten to the upper right of the territory they passed by an old farm. Patchclaw pricked her ears at the sound of bugs and squeeks and sat down, flicking her tail and nodded her head for her leader to join them. "Tell me Stonepaw, what do you hear? This is the abandoned twoleg farm. Most cats don't go inside though, but if you were to, it offers food and shelter. There is also a cat named Barley who is friendly if you run into him," Patchclaw explained, pointing her paw out to the farm and looked at Bluestar and smiled, " Anything to add?" Patchclaw asked Bluestar, waiting patiently for Stonepaw and Bluestars answer. Patchclaw felt honored a bit, having her first training session with Stonepaw, and Windclans leader! A bit nervous though. The wind, once again, tugged hastily at her fur making her shed a bit and she shivered. " Oh boy," Having a short pelt, Patchclaw was often a cold cat. " And over there," Patchclaw said happily, knowing she might just go there one day. " That over there is Moonstone or highrock most cats call it, at other times, Mothermouth. That is where yes, leaders do get their nine lives." Patchclaw indicated to Stonepaw with a flick of her tail towards the sparkling path towards the glistning rock. "I hope to see it one day. You know Stonepaw, they say that the rock is always shining, no matter what." Patchclaw looked down at her apprentice and gave him a quick lick to the head. " Bluestar. I bet it was very interesting getting your nine lives." Patchclaw said with a slight incline of her head and chuckled letting Stonepaw or Bluestar speak once more. table & image manip © minty, image © sxc.hu

Stonepaw flung himself after his mentor, struggling to keep up at first due to his fatigue. As they progressed into the shallow territory of WindClan, he felt finally awake and glanced all around himself. "If a cat attacked me? Well, I suppose I'd try to jump out of the way," Stonepaw meowed truthfully, his wide eyes turning to Patchclaw. Before Stonepaw could move another muscle, he felt his body crash to the ground beneath a heavy weight. His bright, blue eyes stared up at his pursuer, and he was quite surprised to see Bluestar on top of him. A bit shaken up, the silver tabby tomcat moved up to his paws and brushed his pelt off. He appreciated Patchclaw's gentle licks to his pelt - he had skidded into the dirt and was still rather shocked by the sudden attack. He certainly wasn't used to that yet. "B-Bluestar! Hello," Stonepaw meowed, rather shyly at the pretty, strong leader in front of him. Stonepaw followed Patchclaw further into the territory to the abandoned barn that he had once been to before. The only other time he had a chance to leave camp, he had ventured here and gotten quite a shock when Patchclaw had found him. He followed Patchclaw's words to Mothermouth in the distance, his eyes sparkling. "Wow, it's quite magnificent, isn't it?" he meowed, but meant mostly to himself.

" Now Stonepaw," Patchclaw said after a few minuets of walking along the Windclan territory, " This is twolegplace, i'm sure you've heard of them before. Vile creatures who like to prevent us from our kits and scar our brothers and sisters, some cats are taken in by the twolegs, and never heard from again." She whispered to him. But, in a happier tone, added, " But all is not to bad, twolegs can be sweet but others are less kind to cats like us. Just avoid them because there are dogs and loners that prowl the streets." Patchclaw explained pointing with her tail. table & image manip © minty, image © sxc.hu
