Ratpaw's eyes gleamed with pride and he stuck out his chest, holding his chin high. He had always looked up to Nightfrost, though sometimes he could be quite intimidating.

Nightfrost eyed the apprentice gloat at his accoplishment. He could see the respect in his eyes. Someday, Ratpaw would be a great warrior, that he was certain of. His grey flecks on his pelt blended into the surrounding darkness. He patiently waited for Echostar to respond.

Blackpaw opened her eyes gazing around the hazy den. She stretched her front legs feeling the release of tension hum through her body as she raked her claws across the dirt. Silently she slid through the den's opening and padded over to where Ratpaw was training. She sat a pace away from Nightfrost and waited for Echostars next command.

Echostar narrowed her eyes as Nightfrost sat beside her. "Go and catch up with Monarchwing and Grimjaw. They were to go on a border check, than a hunting patrol." She turned back to Ratpaw. "Do it once more." she ordered, a slight hiss creeping its ways into her tone. A shadow not far away from Nightfrost caught her eye. An outline of a small cat, an apprentice. "Blackpaw, get over here now." she growled.

Blackpaw quickly padded to where they were standing and looked up at her leader.

Ratpaw crouched and sped forward turning sharply but carefully and leaping high in the air, twisting while lashing out his paws in a controlled manner. He landed neatly on his paws and looked at his Leader. "Was that ok?" he meowed, panting.

"Good. Now you're going to try it out in a fight. Blackpaw will be your attacker. Both of you will start on opposite sides of the clearing. Go now." she ordered. Once the two apprentices were lined up, she lashed her tail and yowled, "Begin!"

Ratpaw curled back his lip in a vile hiss then crouched, speeding forward Blackpaw his eyes fixed on his target. He swerved past her lashing claws and leapt up into the air, twisting and drawing his sheathed claws down Blackpaw's flank, landing behind her...

Nightfrost slowly backed away from the busy leader. He headed back to camp, looking for the forms of Grimjaw and Monarchwing. His blue eyes scanned the horizon, and his pink nose, very out of place on his black face, sniffed the air for the telltale signs of another cat.

Echostar watched, her face expressionless, as her apprentice fought Blackpaw and occasionally tried out the new move. A small smile crossed her lips every once in a while, but vanished as soon as it appeared.

Ratpaw finished with a bone-breaking smack to Blackpaw's face, throwing her to the ground with a sickening thud. He stood with his legs out defensively, panting as blood welled around his muzzle.

" Grimjaw, Monarchwing," he loudly yowled. " It's time to go on yet another patroll." His blue eyes scanned the deserted camp. A cool breeze chilled his bones, and a stale cat scent floated through his nostrills.

Monarchwing slid out of the shadows with Grimjaw right behind her. "Why are you yowling like a frightened kit?" she teased bitterly. "We're going on a border patrol then we're going hunting. Let's move before it gets to sunhigh..." she meowed then sped off towards the tunnel entrance.

" Well, the camp seemed deserted. I just wanted to see if you were here," he hurridly explained." I'm coming with you on your patrolls." He ran after the beautiful she-cat, glad to have some company at last.

Monarchwing let a grin cross her face. This should be fun. "Where do you think we should go first," she asked her bright blue eyes gleaming with amusement.
