Sighing, she knew she was too stubborn to refuse Mikadopaw's challenge. I also bet I can't. She thought, muttering a few words of encouragement to herself quietly as she sunk low to the ground. She hoped the vole would not hear her and turn to see her rather obvious cream figure stalking it. She moved as cautiously as she could, doing her best to stay low to the ground and keep her movements from being detected by the vole. But just as she got close enough to pounce, the vole turned and Oceanpaw had no choice but to jump at it. But, of course, the vole moved out of the way and the sandy apprentice came into contact with the damp ground and found herself quickly covered in mud. The vole disappeared amongst the undergrowth, a disappointed yet "I knew it" look overtook Oceanpaw's features, as she turned to look at Mikadopaw. |
(In a bit of a rush...)
Peeking through the undergrowth, keeping his tail low, as his mentor taught him, he watch as Oceanpaw attempted to catch the vole.
Shes obviously gonna miss that, shes too high! As the vole slipped from her paw, Mikadopaw leaped for it as it came his way. "Yes!" he yowled. He then cocked his head towards her. "Why don't we get taught how to catch vole?" He wondered if she would like to try some, then remembered he was hunting, not patrolling.
