Hide and seek

Sunpetal was thinking the big part of night about first training. Whisperpaw was his first apprentice and being the fact that this was the first training it had to be something special. Not just ordinary patrol with hunting or border patrol. Suddenly ginger tom remembered his trainings with Ivyfall. RiverClan deputy created training of scent. This was really perfect!

Next day Sunpetal woke up early and quickly went into apprentice's den. "Whisperpaw, quick!" He emerged. "I am going to go before you and hide somewhere on RiverClan territory. It would be somewhere in the middle and far from borders. You need to follow me after some time and trust your scent. Do not go near borders and do not do anything unexpected. Just try to find me. I will give you some hint if needed." Sunpetal then nodded and raced out of camp nervously twiching his whiskers.

Occ: You should not find Sunpetal already in one post. Maybe after three of mine posts.

And this is some kind of patrol so it also counts for your warrior requirments. After finding Sunpetal we will continue with hunting.

OOC: Righty-ho. Thank you for making this :^) And apologies for this being so long, Whisperpaw's a fun character to roleplay as ^^'

A voice from the entrance of the Apprentice den dragged Whisperpaw from her dream-filled sleep. "Wha-?" She groaned, not paying attention to what this mysterious voice was saying, if it was actually saying anything at all. All she could hear was an agitating drone that denied her her much needed sleep- she had spent all of the previous day playing a wide variety of kit games, despite her new rank as an apprentice. Though she was not taking note of anything the cat said, a few words kept nagging at her in her mind; "hide.....find me....". Not even a heartbeat passed before Whisperpaw was scrambling out of her nest and bounding into the main camp, without a single care for her fellow sleeping apprentices or her unkempt maroon and cream fur. She was going on an adventure, and nothing would stop her.  

The naïve she-cat had no idea what she was looking for, as she had completely forgotten the fact that she was now an apprentice and that the source of the voice was most likely her new mentor (whose name she had also forgotten). Alas, she ventured out of the camp without a second thought, determined to locate the provenience of the alluring words.

Whisperpaw hadn't even made it five fox-lengths out of the RiverClan camp before something else took control of her attention. A small beige hopped frog hopped into her path, its bulging eyes enticing her, commanding the manipulative apprentice to drop into a sloppy crouch. She then proceeded to 'stalk' the incredibly fascinating creature on wobbly legs, the task at hand being wiped from her mind completely.

Sunpetal hopped that his new apprentice understood all of his instructions and he waited hid somewhere inside bushes nervously waving his long ginger tail. He did not dare to move or go check anything, because most likely Whisperpaw was searching him and if he would move then everything would be much easier for her.

"Come here, little froggy." Whisperpaw cooed, creeping forwards in her questionable hunting crouch towards the unsuspecting amphibian. "I've got you now!" She lurched forwards with a lash of her tail. Despite the hundreds of times she had pounced and leaped in the Clan camp playing moss-ball, she was unsuccessful in catching the frog. The apprentice didn't even make it a sign fox length, for her hind-legs gave way underneath her, landing her ungracefully in the mud. Unsurprisingly, the frog hopped away, alarmed by the crash.

Even before she had recovered, Whisperpaw's attention was snatched by another peculiar object. A tall red-petalled flower loomed over her bi-coloured head where she lay, begging to be batted at. She answered its prayers and lashed out, hitting it to and fro. Before long she was bored, and rolled on to her side, searching for something else to do.

Whisperpaw had completely forgotten the reason why she had come out here, and she didn't even think to try and remember, until a semi-familiar scent flushed up her nostrils. "I recognise that's scent..." She murmured, staggering up onto her paws. "Maybe it's that thing's smell! The thing that whispered to me!" The apprentice lifted her muzzle into the air in an attempt locate the source of the faint aroma, but was unsuccessful. Filled with the determination that sent her out here once more, she wondered further into RiverClan's territory, following the trail left by the ominous creature.
