Can't tame me -CONTINUED-

<sup>Stargaze
I'm not shy, I'm just quiet

Stargaze lead the way out of camp, hoping to fasten the pace with this training lesson. She wanted to be back in her own comfortable little world where she didn't have to try so hard to do the simplest things or feel awkward or uncomfortable. She felt like she was abandoning her apprentice, but to tell the truth, he deserved it because of the way he acts toward her.

"Why don't you go ahead and hunt something down? I want to see how much you know..." Stargaze meowed calmly, almost in her usual nervous and shy tone. But it sounded more serious than usual, which was a good sign. Maybe she was finally getting the hang of this. Maybe.</sup>

He nodded and began to sneak along, carefully scenting out a rabbit. He grinned and pressed himself to the ground. He may have been in plain sight, however pressed to the ground as he was he looked like some sort of weird bush. Slowly the rabbit hopped closer. Luckily there was a strong wind and Ashpaw was downwind of the rabbit. Closer and closer it came, not realising that it was in danger. Then, when the creature was close enough. He struck, his jaws digging into the back of the rabbit's neck and quickly killing it.

Looking rather proud of himself he dragged the rabbit over to his mentor. "Let's go some more. I think there's a phesant nesting over this way. Not only will we get a big fat bird... there will be chicks too." He purred happily, his long tail flicking a little. He would show his mentor that hew as better than her.

Whiteheart
Whiteheart stopped and set a rabbit down and stretched before looking around. He had just been out hunting for a bit to clear his head for a bit and he was on his way back to camp. However now that he sniffed the air, he caught a familiar scent. Stargaze. She was with her apprentice by the other scent that soon filled his nose. He wasn't too fond of Ashpaw. Really he thought Ashpaw had too big of a head. He thought he was the best at everything when really he didn't know enough to outsmart a kit.
AS he picked up his prey again and padded that way he stayed quiet until he e reached closer. As he did he put the rabbit down and covered it with some grass. He then padded closer to Stargaze and watched as Ashpaw darted off after a rabbit. He padded over to stargaze and rubbed his fur against her silky black fur.
"Hey there..." he mewed smiling. "He's not giving you too much trouble is he?
He smiled a little and purred then turned as Ashpaw came back with the rabbit in his jaws. At the younger tom's comment Whiteheart's eyes closed.
"Ashpaw, I know pheasants are good prey and chicks are easy to catch. But that's the same thing as a badger killing a queen and her kits." he mewed looking at the tom. "Anyways, if we let the chicks grow up, maybe it'll mean more food for the clan later."
It was logical. Chicks might only feed a kit. While a full grown pheasant could easily fill a warrior if not two. It was something he had learned form Hazelstar, and he hoped when he got an apprentice, that he could pass it on to them.

It’s a new world, it’s a new start
It’s alive with the beating of young hearts
It’s a new day, it’s a new plan
I’ve been waiting for you, Here I am.

<sup>Stargaze
I'm not shy, I'm just quiet

Stargaze watched her apprentice catch the rabbit swiftly, enough skill to praise any warrior. With her help, he'll be able to do it much more skillfully and faster than he already could now. But for an apprentice, he was a good hunter. It won't be long for him to match the skills of a warrior.

She felt more happy and confident than before now. He seemed to be acting more like a good apprentice. He followed her orders, and didn't act like he was above her or show any sign of rudeness. Stargaze hoped it would stay that way though.

When a new presence came into the scene, the small warrior just brightened up even more. It was Whiteheart! The cat she was wanting to be by her side for a while now. Maybe she won't have to train Ashpaw alone anymore! The white tom will be a good influence on her. "H-Hey, Whiteh-heart," Stargaze greeted shyly, smiling warmly at him. When in contact with his fur she couldn't help but jump in surprise and blush rapidly. She even felt her heart beat ten times faster.

Stop being so nervous... Stargaze lectured herself. I'm going to look bad in front of Ashpaw! Hearing Whiteheart's wise words she couldn't help but agree. Though, why couldn't she think of that? That didn't even cross her mind! What a bad mentor she was! Pretending to already hold that knowledge she meowed, "He's right. Even if we just got the pheasant alone, it wouldn't be able to take care of the chicks and they would die anyway. Let's just look for something else to hunt."</sup>

[/sup]

Ashpaw just gave the tom a dirty look. "Who cares what birds feel? They're just stupid." He mewed. "They were put here for us to kill and eat." He added. "But I suppose you're right, we should let them all get big and fat." He paused and sat down.
"I've got an idea...." He mewed. "What if we kill the mother, then bring the chicks back... alive. And feed them until they're big and fat?" His eyes took on a wild gleam. "It might work." He mewed. "I mean, two-legs keep birds. We could use a bush to keep them in... and find seeds and put it in the bush... and when they're big enough we'll have food." He purred happily, looking rather proud of himself. "It's a good idea. I mean after all I came up with it. No one else could come up with such a good idea because no one else is as smart as I am."

Whiteheart
Whiteheart rolled his eyes at the annoying apprentice. Did he really not get it? Probably not. He only wanted to deal with the now and didn't look far into the future. He knew what would happen if they kept birds in camp. They'd have foxes. Something the clan didn't need to deal with.
"One problem there, Ashpaw."

[/color] he mewed softly closing his eyes trying to stay calm. "If you keep the bird there, they would more than likely bring unwelcome visitors. Foxes, badgers maybe. Rouge cats. Things we don't want in the clan. And there's the matter of what they eat."[/color]
He stopped and tilted his head looking at the smaller tom, amusement crossing his eyes. At that moment he could just see ashpaw digging up worms to feed to the birds. It would be a funny sight, but even he wouldn't put an apprentice through that much humiliation.
"But i guess...if you really want to....you can get their food for them. I'm sure you can find a bunch of worms and crickets by the lake. after all that's what they love the most."[/color] he mewed letting a chuckle hit his tone. He didn't care if the tom got mad at him. He would love to teach the tom a lesson on fighting right now.[/center]
