❂ BlazeClan ❂ Semi-Lit ( Accepting! )

[Corky]

Bluepaw nodded, his heart sank. He wondered if his father was proud of him? That was what drove Bluepaw to be the great warrior he needed to be, his father's approval. He needed to become a great warrior, just like his father. That was the only way Tigerclaw would accept him. He held his head and tail high, and started walking with a sure-footed gate.

Tigerclaw watched his son. He was proud, yet confused at the same time. His soon seemed to be trying to impress him. He was already proud of his son. His whiskers twitched in amusement, and followed his son. He heard the paw steps of Amberpaw and Lionclaw behind him.

[ I have to go. I'll be back soon. ]

[Skaiflaya]

[ I have to go for the night. Goodnight. I'll be on tomorrow. (: ]

Bluepaw inhaled deeply, looking for some sort of prey. A few autumn leaves flew past him, blowing away in the breeze. He smelled the strong scent of rabbit. He followed the scent, and he saw a plump hare grazing. Bluepaw wasn't swift because of his size, but he was strong. He sprang forward, and the rabbit saw him. He chased after the rabbit, knowing he wouldn't catch it. He had to try though. He ran faster, and jumped forward, catching the rabbit with his claws. He sunk his teeth into it's neck, it twitched a bit, and then it lay still. He dipped his head "Thank you Starclan" he murmured. It was a sloppy kill, but it would do.

Tigerclaw's tail twitched. "Try harder next time, Bluepaw." He said, his amber eyes shining in the sunlight.

Amberpaw stood still, her tail twitching slightly. She sniffed at the air, looking for a scent of prey. She soon caught a strong scent of vole, and dropped down into a hunting crouch, putting all the weight on her haunches, like she was taught. She stood still, keeping her tail still as well, while she watched for the slightest movement. She soon saw the vole, scurrying around the base of a tree, looking for nuts. Amberpaw quietly made her way forward, her light brown tabby pelt blending in nicely with the plants. She then pounced swiftly, and killed the vole with one blow of her strong paw. Her light amber eyes shining with delight as she picked up her kill by the tail, and bounded back over to her Mentor and father.

Lionclaw nodded. "Great job Amberpaw." He said, with affection, and a hint of amusement in his eyes for his apprentice.

Tigerclaw gave an approving nod to his daughter. "Yes. Good catch." He said and looked at Bluepaw, his tail twitching. "Maybe try and get another scent, Bluepaw?" He asked his son.

[Corky]

Bluepaw nodded, inhaling. He smelled mouse, it was small but at least he could show that not all his kills were sloppy. Bluepaw would rather be fighting than hunting. The mouse was scurrying around in a patch of tall grass. He ducked low, his tail slightly above the ground, weaving back and forth. He crawled closer, he was very close. He swung his claw to the side, throwing the mouse in the air lightly and then catching it in his mouth. It was still alive, he didn't want to clamp down on it and ruin it so he put it down, quickly making a clean kill to it's throat. He looked at Lionclaw and Tigerclaw.

[Skaiflaya]

Tigerclaw watched. "Much better." He mewed to him. His ears perked, as he heard little scratching. He stood up, and looked, seeing squirrel coming down from a tree. It looked around for nuts, and soon turned it's back on the cat's not realizing they were there. Tigerclaw immediately dropped into a hunting crouch, and crept toward it, his tail still, and his muscles stiff. He made almost no sound at all as he stalked towards the squirrel. He then stopped, once he was a tail-length away, and sprung. He sunk his fangs into the back of the squirrels neck. The squirrel struggled for a second, then went limp. Tigerclaw arose, and dropped his kill, and picked it up again by the tail, and carried it over to the others. He dropped his prey on the ground, then scraped dirt over it to retrieve later. "Let's move somewhere else. I'm sure the prey has run off in this part now." He said and twitched his tail.

Lionclaw nodded in agreement. "Nice catch." He said, his ears perked.

Amberpaw watched Bluepaw, then Tigerclaw. Her tail twitched, then she returned to Lionclaw's side once more.

Bluepaw nodded "What about that big oak, I think it's called the great oak?" he said. He walked next to his father, with both his rabbit and mouse in his mouth. The rabbit was really heavy, but he managed.

[Skaiflaya]

Tigerclaw stopped, and looked at his son. "Yes. It is the Great Oak. But drop your kills, and scrape dirt over it. When we're done hunting, we'll come back and get all the prey that we killed." He said, a bit surprised that his kit didn't know that. But that didn't matter.

[placebo.]

Clawstripe hurried over to Bluepaw and Tigerclaw. He nodded to Tigerclaw, "Sorry Bluepaw." he memwed. To Tigerclaw he said, "I just wanted to see if Crystalpool was okay...." his voice trailed off and he stared at his paws. "Sorry again bluepaw." he mewed.

Darkfang looked around the forest where he had taken refuge from the clan.
