WindClan: Life Before 2023's Fire

Cloudfluff poked her head into the apprentices den. "Reedpaw? I want to take you to the training grounds, to teach you some basic moves, show you around the territory a bit more, and the hunter's crouch!" She mewed excitedly. I have an apprentice! Cloudfluff was a young warrior, but still mature, even though she can be a bit childish.

Youngest of the batch, Flamingkit's warmth and comfort taken away from her feeling a strange coolness and odd smells set her into a squealing fit. She wriggled around in confusion trying to find something soft and warm to snuggle into. And she was hungry. Terribly hungry.

Ya! Goldkit didn’t stop nodding for a second.

She refused to let him get under her skin again... But then again he was a constant ass wasn't he? Expecting her to know this and that and there and where. Sighing she took another deep breath, hoping to calm her already fired up temper. Okay. So ask. Calmly. Do not piss him off.... If you piss him off he'll leave you. Become a warrior. Warrior. Be nice... Be calm. Sighing again and another deep breath she finally got our her question. "Where is it we're going? Because I would say here is fine for teaching unless you want me to practice and fail with proper prey?" She wasn't sure what he meant. But she would listen. For now. "Lead the way captain."

Quicksilver gave his apprentice a raised-eyebrow look, before rolling his eyes and shaking his head. "If you used your brain Pumapaw, you would know that we can't exactly hunt rabbits right outside of camp. For one, there are no rabbits right outside of camp. Secondly, I don't want you to go mowing down some poor elder that's resting in the clearing on your chase after a rabbit." After giving his explanation, the tom then nodded his head towards the rolling moors. "And while practice does help, first we've got to see where your instinctual hunting abilities are at." He then began padding off, further into the moors. "You're going to keep a scent-out for a rabbit, and once you find one, we will both go after it. Windclan cats usually hunt in pairs, so doing this will help me to do two things. One, judge your instinctual skills, and two, help you catch the rabbit, as I don't expect you to do so on your own in one go." Quicksilver stopped as they came to the top of the first large rise, turning and giving Pumapaw a nod. "Alright. What can you smell?"

So far, her mouth had been the part of her body that she could most easily control, so the little brown kit opened her maw and tried to get whatever was in her face into her mouth.

Gentlemoo was quite amused by the kit trying to eat his tail, so he gently moved it off her face, because he wouldn’t like a giant tail in his face. He found his daughter quite adorable, he loved her so much, but maybe not as much as Songkit, but he still loved her a lot

She yelped as he ran straight into her, her fluffy kitten fur fluffed out in surprise. She smiled as she heard him apologize. "Oh, it's fine! I'm just glad that I have another kit to talk to!" She noticed him narrowing his eyes and she paused before saying, "I just like it in this corner...No one can see me but I can see them...Makes it easier to feel less lonely..." She sighed, looking down at her paws.

"I go in this corner a lot, too." Nightkit said, also looking down at his paws. "It's my safe place after cats are mean." he said, kicking a few rocks. "I try to play with the other kits, but they ignore me. Then, if they don't they say mean things. Like I'm not strong. Or I'm like a newborn." Nightkit closed his eyes. "They're probably right anyway. I would be no fun to play with. I'm so weak. I even flinch if the moss-ball is within a fox-length of me." He stopped kicking the stones. "I'm going to be a terrible warrior," Nightkit said as tears started to stream out of his eyes.

Sparrowkit paused when the ticklish feeling stopped. Her paws curled in confusion. What? Why did everything keep moving away from her? Now she just had to chase it. The rusty-brown kit extended her legs, smacked them against the floor, then drew them back towards her again. Was she moving? No, probably not. Her tail curled up, then straightened again as Sparrowkit began to flail about. She let out a stubborn mewl.

Basilpaw gave a nod,” I might just surprise Beaverbounce, I haven’t had any battle training yet, so this might surprise him a little my moves.” she purred back.

Gentlemoo could tell that Sparrowkit was trying to chase the tail, so he brought the tail just barely out of paws reach so she might be able to brush it but not grab it, he wanted to see if she could get to the tail or not.
