Heather trains spots

Spottedpaw wiggled but couldn't get free. She decided to do a move that she saw her friends doing. She turned around and raked her sheathed paws on her belly.

Heatherpetal let out a purr of laughter, the gentle pummeling to her belly tickling her. She leaped off and nodded to her. "That's just what I would've done in that situation. Great job! Can you keep going, or do you need a rest?"

Spottedpaw smiled when she got back on her feet. "im exhausted why is triaining so hard." she said laughing. She was so used to not training and slaking off she wasn't used to this hard stuff.

"Training is hard because battling is even harder," the newly appointed warrior replied. "You've done great, though. You're going to be an amazing warrior." She gave Spottedpaw a friendly lick behind the ear.

Spottedpaw smiled at the compliment. "im glad that you trained me in battling instead of someone else." she said smiling.

OOC: is that the end of her battle training I'm confused the last time I did a battle training it was mixed with hunting so this is my first separate one.

Heatherpetal's ears began to feel warm with sheepishness. "Aww, thanks...~"

(OOC: Well, Heatherpetal isn't good with hunting, but she could still give it a try if you want to. Unless you already have someone else to take over hunting training with Spottedpaw.)

Spottedpaw smiled at her. "should we get back or keep training?" she asked.

OOC: well it's your choice she is a good hunter she just needs the training lol.

Heatherpetal gulped softly. She knew she had to hunt eventually, it was part of providing for the Clan. And who knows? Perhaps she'd be a better hunter as a warrior than as an apprentice. She nodded. "Let's keep going. I'm going to take you to Snakerocks. The prey there is abundant, and hopefully the adders will be hibernating." She led the way out of the Sandy Hollow towards Snakerocks.

Spottedpaw bounded along making sure she didn't go to far ahead. "what are adders I've never seen one before?" she asked turning around to face her but still walking.

"Well, I've never seen them myself, either, but Reedheart told me adders are snakes," Heatherpetal replied. "They're incredibly venomous, though, so you mustn't get bit by one. As I said, I think they're all hibernating, but we still need to be incredibly careful." The two cats arrived at their destination, and she turned to Spottedpaw. "So, what do you know about hunting?"

Spottedpaw smiled wharn they got there. "lets see well hunting is how we get food, it's really fun, you never want to hunt predators." she said smiling at all she knew. "oh and no hunting in other territories." she said remembering that rule.

"That's right, well done." Heatherpetal nodded in approval. "Now I will teach you the hunting basics. First you get down into a hunter's crouch, like this." She lowered herself to the ground, her tail sticking out behind her. "Don't let your belly drag, and keep your tail absolutely still. Then, you take slow steps forward, making no sounds." She slowly and carefully crept forward, never lifting her paws out of the snow as stepping down on it would make it crunch. "And once you think you're close enough to your prey, you bundle up your muscles, keeping your weight in your hindquarters, and pounce with a straight back." Finally, she pounced, bounding a couple tail-lengths through the air and landing on a rock jutting out of the snow she had kept her eyes on.

She stood back up and looked at Spottedpaw. "Those are the basics to hunting. You must also remember to keep downwind of your prey so that it won't smell you coming. Want to give it a try?"

Spottedpaw watched her and memorized the crouch. "ok my turn." she said. She looked for something to practice on and saw a leaf. She wanted to make sure she got it right so she found that the wind was going her way so she stalked the leaf. When she was close enough she got in the postition and pounced landing directly on the leaf. She looked at heatherpetal and smiled."how was that?" she asked happily.

"Perfect! Great job!" Heatherpetal purred in approval. "Now let's try on some actual prey." She parted her lips to drink in the air, closing her eyes to concentrate and hone in on her sense of smell and hearing. Her ear flicked when she picked up the tiny scuffle of paws through the snow, and she spotted a little mouse on one of the rocks, practically right next to a crack in the rocks where it could instantly flee into. She lowered her voice to address Spottedpaw without spooking the little rodent. "This one will be tricky. Try catching that mouse before it can flee into its den. Mice will feel your paws on the ground before it hears or smells you, so be very careful."

Spottedpaw listened to her than spotted the mouse. She crept towards it without making a sound. When she was a tail length away she pounced and killed the mouse. She looked up and noticed another so she wanted to try again. She stalked this one the same way but when she pounced the mouse ran into the rock. "aww I caught one but missed another." she said mopping. Just then a fox came barreling out of a bush. It growled at the cats. Spottedpaw wasn't used to fighting predators so she ran behind heatherpetal. "what do we do?" she asked terrified.
