Nightpaw decided to go out of the Emberclan's territory, apparently just for fun. Unfortunately Nightpaw just so happens to be a white cat. So that makes it harder for her to pounce or hunt, as easily as some of the other cats she sees. Nightpaw also did not think that Darkheart was very impressed with her. She also had that look in her eyes that nothing was going to stop her from being a mentor. Yet Nightpaw was terrified when Darkheart made his amber eyes burn with anger.

"It's okay," Darkheart conceded. "It happens." He twitched an ear and the fur flattened along his spine. "I'm not /that/ upset, just try to be more careful next time. This way."
The dark pelted cat led the way to the path. He tasted the air, smelling prey. Darkheart turned to Nightpaw and said, "Alright, I smell a vole. Try to get it."
He sat down to watch, with something like amusement in his eyes.

"I'm gonna get it this time!" Nightpaw says in a whisper. Nightpaw goes forward a small bit, the vole sees her and starts to get away. Nightpaw with suprise starts chasing the vole until it gets tired. "It's mine! I got it! Darkheart! I got it!" Nightpaw screams, maybe a little to loud. She looks back at Darkheart, with much pride. The look on Darkheart's face so depressing in his eyes it made Nightpaw feel heavy and old. Which is not a good feeling.

"Great, Nightpaw. Just next time keep it down. We're going to go fishing now; carry the vole," Darkheart said. He led the way, cutting smoothly through the forest.
The murmur of the stream was calming, and Darkheart paused by the water's edge as he waited for Nightpaw to catch up.
Silvery fish swam, bellies flashing, and nearby a stale scent of CloudClan lingered. Darkheart renewed the scent markers with a quick squirt of urine and plodded back to Nightpaw. "Try to catch a fish," he ordered. "Like so."
Dipping a paw into the water, Darkheart's claws sank into a hapless fish and he lunged forwards. Unfortunately, he lost his balance and fell heavily into the shallow, if fast-moving water.
It rippled around his legs, and Darkheart hissed in annoyance, clambering out of the icy water, the fish scared away.

When Nightpaw heard a hissing noise from up ahead of her, she ran ahead as fast as she could to see what was going on. Pathetically, all she saw was her mentor half soaked with blood in the water. (from the fish) Nightpaw thought that Darkheart had injured himself as she started to look worried Darkheart assured her that it was the fish and in fact that he was quite uncomfortable and only wanted to see her catch a fish. After almost an hour of pawing at the fish Nightpaw pawed a a fish, and it didn't move; it was stuck to her paw!! Nightpaw tryed to get it off without letting Darkheart see, but she was thinking that he could see this huge fish suck to her paw. Nightpaw pretended that she was still pawing at the fish, it didn't seem to work because the next thing that Darkheart did was........

"Stuck?" Darkheart chuckled annoyingly. "Fish much? Oh well, it's only your first lesson." He walked over, bad humour pretty much gone, and shook a liberal amount of water from his thick coat, spraying the area around him. Grinning, Darkheart steadied the fish with a large paw. "Pull," he instructed simply, amusement flickering once again in his green eyes.

The cat looked oddly at this living fish, as it ever so slightly started to move it's tail. Nightpaw had saliva almost dripping from her mouth as she looked at this fish as if it was a million delicious voles. Nightpaw did not think that Darkhearts bad humor was needed in this kind of situation, but desided not to use her vocule cordes for any use today. "I don't think that this is very humorus, and i do in fact know tha this is my first lesson, but fish are a living being as are we" Nightpaw trailed off as she finaly got her paw out of this delishious fish. As she sliced the fish into half, she thought to herself why she deserveed all of this fish and decided to give half of it to her mentor. Darkheart.

"You've done well. But it must go to the Elders; you know that," Darkheart reprimanded softly. "It's the Warrior code." He nudged her gently with his tail, a sign of affection. "Come on," he mewed, and led the way back to the camp.
It was quiet, and only a few cats roamed around. The fresh-kill pile was small, dwindling as the prey lessened.
Darkheart nodded in the direction of the pile. "Put it there and have a meal," he told her, and headed towards the pile, salivating.

As much as she enjoyed the gentle feel of Darkhearts tail, she still felt like she needed someone different. She looks around and she sees a cat, and she thinks he's and ok looking tom. She remembers that his name was Thrushpelt. Yet she did not think that she would have any attraction to this tom what-so-ever. So she continues to look and finnds that she is all alone and that she should eat something and put the fish on the pile. She chose to have her vole that she caught and maybe a nibble of the fish. A time later she decided that she was going to become the Emberclan leader. So she would try even harder at the lessons and hope to speed everything up a little. Yet , she was having trouble understanding why Darkheart was interested.

Darkheart curled up on the ground, after daintily taking a starling from the fresh-kill and nibbling it. He wasn't hungry, for some reason. It was odd, because usually he wolfed down his piece of fresh-kill with the enthusiasm of a kit.
Darkheart washed a paw vigourously, his eyes shining. Nightpaw had done well today, and he applauded her for it. His tongue rasped on his sleek coat, and the dark warrior shook his head and swallowed, the roughness of his tongue like sandpaper on the ridges of his delicate palate.
An expression reminiscent of a smile crept onto his face and he beckoned to Nightpaw, tail twitching. "Nightpaw! C'mere!" Darkheart called, feeling better.

As Nightpaw was still pondering on her thoughts she heard something in the bush next to her. She was startled and thought that maybe it was food, so as usual she jumped on it. Mistake! apparently it was a dead cat. She did not no what to make of it. Or what clan it was from. She was turning around to run and tell Darkheart when she heard "Nightpaw! C'mere!" just the thing she needed to find Darkheart. When she got there she told Darkheart everything. With a terrified look on her face.

"Oh no." Darkheart flinched, and cautiously sniffed it. The carcass reeked of Twolegs and fox and CloudClan. "I don't care if they're mad at us," Darkheart told Nightpaw. "We're going to see CloudClan; come on!"
He bounded across the stream, and onto CloudClan territory, his senses assaulted by rank stenches. Nightpaw would be terrified; Darkheart knew that much. He strode purposefully towards the camp, aware of the curious and donwright hostile gazes.

"CLOUDCLAN?!" screamed Nightpaw. "Are you really going to go into cloudclan territory? And what clan was that cat from? I have so many questions to ask you before we go any further" Oddly as nightpaw followed Darkheart, she became to realize that Darkheart must have betrayed them or something. For the looks that they got from the other cats was so terrifiying just like she wasn't there and Darkheart was walking all by himself. Almost as if them just looking at her would kill her on the spot without lifting a paw.
Nightpaw was terrified to see someone she thought that she had seen before, like her mother or father, but she knew that she was clan born and thats her motther and father had died in a war. Yet, that face or that cat was so familier she had to ask Darkheart about it. "Darkheart? who is that cat over there i feel like I've known him for years! who is he?"
