Autumnstar padded into the clearing, the sun warming her pelt. New leaf was coming upon them quickly and she couldn't wait for the prey to be more abundant. She looked around the clearing as she waited for Mistpaw, deciding that she would teach her to hunt for mice first. Then they could share one while she told the history of Sunningrocks. Finally they would hunt to bring something back for the Clan. She nodded her head as she thought of the plan for the day, pleased with it.

Mistpaw caught up with her mentor and sat beside her. "So what am I going to learn first?", she asked Autumnstar. She hoped that it would be something exciting...

"We are going to learn how to hunt mice today and learn the History of Sunningrocks," she replied. "When you are hunting mice you must be very light on your feet because they will feel the vibrations in the earth. Make sure you are also up wind and very close to the ground. Now follow me quietly and watch carefully." Autumnstar padded through the snow silently, her mouth open taking in the the scents around her. Finally the smell of mouth hit the roof of her mouth. She froze and scanned the clearing looking for the little brown creature. She quickly spotted it along the snow and flicked her tail to show where the mouse was. She dropped into a hunters crouch, making sure that there was no weight on her back paws and she stalked forward. She could hear the mouses heart beat as it searched for food. The ThunderClan leader than sprang onto the mouse, quickly killing it so it had no time to make a sound. She padded back over to her apprentice and mewed, "Now let me see your crouch."

Mistpaw then got into a mimic of her mentor's crouch. She felt her haunches fall perfectly into place. She waited there and looked to her mentor to see her response.

"Very nice" Autumnstar mewed as she looked at her apprentices stance. "Make sure you stay low to the ground. Now lets try it out. Go and catch a mouse so you can eat while I tell you about the history of Sunningrocks." She waited for her apprentice to take the lead and find her first prey.

Mistpaw did as she was told. She went ahead of her mentor and opened her mouth. She immediately scented the fresh scent of mouse. She took a moment to find it's exact location. Once she did, she got into the crouch that she had just learned, and making sure to also stay low to the ground, she started to creep quietly toward the mouse. She was a couple mousetails away when she pounced. She quickly killed her mouse and sent up a silent prayer to Starclan. She then turned to her leader and sat and waited for her to start speaking...

"Good job!" Autumnstar mewed to her apprentice. "Now follow me so you can eat your prey while I tell you about the history of Sunningrocks." She cleared the snow with her tail and paws so they would have a spot to eat and share their prey. She settled down and took a deep breath. "A long time ago this land belonged to RiverClan," she began. "Sunningrocks was an island which only RiverClan could swim to. As time went on the water level began to dropped and it became part of the forest so ThunderClan claimed it as their own. A vicious battle was fought and many lives were lost, but ThunderClan won in the end. There has been many battles between the Clans over this territory. ThunderClan is still victorious to this day and we can't give up this spot because it is an excellent place for prey and relaxation. RiverClan is always finding a way to take it back from us, you will be in many battles over this land."

After finishing her mouse, she sat up and licked her whiskers and then said, "If it is a fiight that means something, then I will have no problem fighting for it. This is my clan and I will give my life to protect it, Autumnstar."

Autumnstar nodded to her apprentice thoughtfully. "You will make a great warrior one day." She then ate the rest of her mouse, licking her lips to get rid of any on her face. She then buried the bones as if burying her dirt. "We bury them to give thank to StarClan and the forest for providing us with food. It is out of respect." She then gave a quick stretch and puffed the fur out to protect her from the snow that began to fall lightly.

Mistpaw did the same with the bones as her mentor and then saw a snowflake and jumped at it, trying to tackle it to the ground. She then looked at her mentor with a smile on her small oval face and purred, "This makes me feel like a kit...chasing snowflakes.", she then looked crestfallen and meowed, "I guess apprentices and warrriors don't chase around snowflakes..."

Autumnstar let out a mrrow of laughter at Mistpaw's comment. "When the apprentices play with the kits they catch snowflakes with them. Silverkit or Hollkit would love to play." She smiled at her apprentice and then looked up towards the sky. "Before we end this lesson lets bring some prey back to the Clan." She padded of into the forest, no destination in mind, just knowing that she needed prey for her Clan
