Morningstar led Spottedpaw up to the dusty clearing. "This is where most of our training will take place. We will practice fighting moves and stalking."

"Hey that was much better," Morningstar replied, shaking the dust off her pelt. "I'm glad you're on my side. Are you hungry, because we can go hunting on the way back to camp?"

"OK." They were walking along and they saw a mouse. Spottedpaw stopped and started walking towards it cruching on leaves. She hadn't gone two steps before the mouse raced away from all the noise."Man how do you guys catch anything?"Spottedpaw meowed disappointed. She had wanted to make a catch so she could make her leader and Mentor proud of her.

"You will never catch anything is you keep stomping around like that," Morningstar pointed out. "Step lightly, and be quick on your paws." Morningstar spotted a squirrel in the bushes. She quickly leaped on it and finished it off with her claws. "Like that. Now you try." She pointed her nose at a mouse scurrying in the grasses.

"If the wind is blowing towards you and the mouse is behind you, it will be able to smell you. The mouse or even another cat can be in front of you, and if the wind is blowing away from you, you can still be smelled." Morningstar continued. "You also have to learn how to be quick and quiet, not only quiet. Try again."

"OK Morningstar." Spottedpaw said as she crept downwind. She saw a mouse and started to walk towards it low, quiet, and fast she went. She crept up behind the mouse and pounced on it killing it with a bite to the neck.

"That's great," Morningstar explained, her eyes glowing. "Now go behind those bushes over there and try to catch some more. I will wait for you."
