[This is a starter post for Spiderwebpaw’s hunting lesson. It takes place after Spiderwebpaw’s settled into the apprentice den, if you have/want to roleplay that out. Feel free to respond whenever. I’ll bump you for it every week unless you tell me you don’t want to do it anymore. Once this lesson is over I’ll immediately post a starter for another lesson just to keep things going. I’ve never trained an apprentice before so if I’m doing something wrong, or if there’s something I could be doing better let me know!:)]

“Spiderwebpaw!” The redish molly looked around the clearing for her new apprentice. He had seemed excited about starting his training so she wanted to start as soon as possible. Especially with the new, necessary, restrictions. The longer he stays motivated the better.

Robinleaf’s mind raced as she tried to decide what moves were easier beginner moves. What move did I learn first? She couldn’t remember. It had been so long ago. Decide quickly! Well mice were the easiest. She’d teach him the proper stalking method to hunt a mouse.

~Hummingbirdkit~

The fluffy kit stepped outside the nursery nervously. She immediately began shivering. When did it get so cold! She looked around at the clearing lightly covered in mist. Be strong Hummingbirdkit! Only strong kits get to play outside. She walked decidedly away from the nursery, and up to another kit. She had heard his name mentioned a few times. Oddkit? Oatkit? Opalkit? She couldn’t remember! Did that make her a bad cat? She’d just have to pick one.

“Hi Oatkit! I’m Hummingbirdkit. Want to play?” Her voice was soft and almost impossible to hear.

Maggotpaw jerked her chin up, looking into the gaze of the warrior Owlfeather. She hesitated as she noticed she didn’t dip her head, the custom greeting of a warrior to an apprentice. Then she remembered that she was still an unruly apprentice, and she was not given the same respect as she had grown used to. Awkwardly, she dipped her head to Owlfeather. That was the right way to greet a warrior if you were an apprentice…right? She had pretty much been secluding herself from the rest of the Clan she had hardly talked with any of them. “Hello Owlfeather. Do you need something? Sorry to say but I think I need Brackenfire before I do, well, anything.” Silently in her head she cursed her guardian devil. She and Brackenfire had hardly interacted, with the daughter of Dawnstar mostly just shadowing her. Maggotpaw couldn’t spot her at that moment, but she did not doubt that if she moved a muscle toward the entrance of the camp Brackenfire would be on her in a heartbeat.

Oak’Kit tossed a mossball between his paws, diving and ducking to keep it off the ground.
At first Oak’Kit hadn’t noticed hummingbird’kit, she had said his name wrong after all. But after a moment he noticed her presence. “Oh? Did you say something?” he asked, turning to face her. He tilted his head, tail curling into a curious question mark, as he continued to bounce the mossball between his paws, gentler this time as to pay attention to the small kit.

Pigeonpaw stayed quiet for a few heartbeats, thinking over Dovekit's response. "But why didn't our parents want us? Why aren't we good enough? Why aren't I good enough for anybody to stick around?" Pigeonpaw sighed. "But that's why I've got to be the best, better than the best! I need to show everybody that I'm worth it."

~Hummingbirdkit~

He didn’t hear me! I need to speak louder! Strong kits talk loudly. She shuffled her paws. What if she had gotten his name wrong. I don’t have to say his name I already have his attention! She’d forgotten that. She cleared her throat.

“Hi I’m Hummingbirdkit! Do you want to play!” With much effort the white kit was able to raise her voice to a normal volume. She lashed her tail from side to side, proud of herself.

Re: ShadowClan Clearing
 

Oak’Kits tail straightened happily “Oh! I’m Oak’Kit! Yeah! Do you wanna play mossball or hunter and mouse?” he asked, rolling the ball under one paw subtly.

~Hummingbirdkit~

Oh right! Oakkit! That was it. She was glad he hadn’t heard her get it wrong. Mossball! I love mossball! The small white molly purred excitedly.

“Yes! I’d love to play mossball!” This time she didn’t have to try to make her voice normal volume. It did that on its own fueled by her excitement. Suddenly the cold didn’t seem like that big of a deal.

Re: ShadowClan Clearing
 

“Okay!” Oak’Kit purred at Hummingbird’kits excitement and stepping back to swat the mossball over to his new friend “try and stop it from hitting the ground!” he called, tail flicking playfully behind him.
