[ Nightrain ]
A black she-cat padded toward the rushing water. She looked around curiously. Once again, Sphinxpaw was late. Nightrain sighed and began to drink from the stream. Her black tail twitched and she rose to her paws. Where is he? The StreamClan warrior began to groom her ruffled fur. Only a rustle in the bushes caught her attention.

Sphinxpaw slipped out of the bushes. "Hello, Nightrain." he meowed.

[ Nightrain ]
Nightrain turned her head to her apprentice and smiled. "There you are!" she purred and finished licking her paw. The black she-cat rose to her paws and stretched. "Ready to learn how to hunt today?" she asked the Sphinxpaw curiously.

[ Nightrain ]
Nightrain smiled a the eager apprentice. "How about now? Here, I'll teach you how to stalk a mouse! Just watch what I do, then I'll tell you exactly what I did." The black she-cat scented the air and quuickly caught the scent of mouse. She slowly grew into a crouch and silently took careful steps towrd the scent. She spotted it in the tall grass nibbling on a leaf. Wihtout hesitation, she leaped and took its life with a swift blow before it could squeal. "What I did was scent the air for the scent of mouse. Then once I scented it, I silently got into a crouch. Mice are so small that they can easily feel the vibrations of your paws if your clumsy and loud. So you have to be extra silent. Now you try!" she mewed and waited to observe Sphinxpaw.

Shinxpaw sniffed out a mouse fairly quickly and crouched down. He padded towards it with a well-practiced silence and got close enough to swipe at it. He lurched foreward and snapped it neck before it could react.

[ Nightrain ]
Nightrain purred happily that her apprentice caught the mouse. "Great job Sphinxpaw. A few things though, try to balace yourself out. And don't just swipe at the prey, they could easily slip from your paws, try and pounce one them." she told him.

((oopsies! I'll try to remember!))
Sphinxpaw absorbed her advice. "Thanks Nightrain. Is there anything else to do today?" he asked. Why not; he thought the day's still young. "Should we hunt more?"

[ Nightrain ]
The black warrior smiled and curled her tail around her paws. "Don't worry, training isn't over yet today! Now I'll teach you how to catch a rabbit!" Nightrain scented the air and she pricked her ears. Strange, no sign of any rabbits She looked down at Sphinxpaw. "I don't think the rabbits are out at the moment. Come on, i'll teach you how to catch fish!" She mewed and began to padd toward the stream, she flicked her tail for Sphinxpaw to follow.

Sphinxpaw followed silently behind her, keeping his senses alert. The best ambush is an unexpected one. His own words returned to him. Although, the Clans seemed to be friendly at the moment... Urg! Come on, Sphinxpaw! Never let your guard down! He noticed that he'd lagged behind, and ran ahead to catch up.

[ Nightrain ]
Nightrain sat down at the edge of the river and waited for Sphinxpaw. Fianlly the apprentice arrived behind her. She rose to her paws and looked at him. "Ok, catching fish takes a lot of skill, but thank yourself for being a StreamClan cat, we can fish and swim. Thats a great gift from StarClan." she mewed.

Sphinxpaw nodded. He looked down at the water and the fish swimming in it. He imagined himself reaching down and pulling out a big, fat trout, or a bluegill. He turned to Nightrain for more instructions.

Nightrain motioned for Sphinxpaw to back up. "Watch me." she told him and stared into the water, making sure not to cast her shadow over. The black she-cat's eyes were filled with concentration, and without notice, her paw dashed into the water carrying out a fish. Nightrain quickly finished it off with a swift bite.
She placed it before Sphinxpaw and smiled. "There are a few important things to know about fishing. You need to concentrate constantly on the water. Make sure that your shadow does not cast over the water, otherwise you will scare away all the fish. And last, when you are ready to catch a fish, do it quickly, its easier for a fish to get away then a rabbit or mouse." She finished, then mewed. "You try."

Sphinxpaw crept close to the water and stared at the fishes swimming past. He waited until he saw one right below him and, aiming for it, his paw sped into the water. He felt the fish beneath his paw just as it tore through the water away from him. The other fishes stayed farther away this time. Sphinxpaw's face fell. He couldn't even catch a lousy fish!

Icefire sees a handsome tom sitting by the stream and knows that he is an apprentice. She pads up to him and makes sure not to startle him into the water. She says cheerfully "Hi! My name is Icefire. I just got into StreamClan. What's your name?" Her eyes twinkle and she twitches her whiskers. She gives her silky brown tail a couple licks, as well as her glossy white chestfur.
