LiFe is but a.n.o.t.h.e.r CHALLENGE. [high ranks available]

[Solanum]

(( Lol. She is IN thunderclan, and is deciding what to do to avoid the warriors Kitestar sent out. ))

[Keriae]

Batpaw had made up her mind. So what if she was in this stinking Hole longer? Her clanmate was in danger! The black apprentice raced out of the Hole and towards the ThunderClan border. Her paws drumbed on the forest floor. She skidded to a halt and sniffed the air, then carried on running, pelting over the border. Bursting out of the bushes, she yowled. "Whispertail, pick that up and run!"

Hawkstar slinked out of her den, her tail lashing. Amber eyes swept around the Clan as the brown tabby leader sat on the High Branch. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather!" She called, her voice ringing around the camp. Her tail hung from the branch as she watched her Clan appear.

Ravenshadow lifted her head, ears pricked. She stood up, shaking her dark pelt. Walking past her kits, she nudged them on. "Hawkstar wants us." She told them. Her black frame dissappeared into the camp. She sat down near the front.

Pinekit bounded after his mother, and sat beside her, looking up at his leader. What was happening?

Venomkit followed his brother and mother. He sat on the other side of his mother. Was he going to become an apprentice?

[Solanum]

Ternkit poked her head out of the nursery, her gaze set on her leader. She wasn't old enough to catch her own prey, yet, but she padded out to join them anyway, she wanted to find out what was going on... She was bored of sitting around in the nursery all day, and night, nothing to do.

Whispertail grabbed it and ran. "I thought you were in the hole?" She cocked her head, watching Batpaw as they ran. Her heart raced as she ran across the border again, not slowing until almost in sight of the camp. "But wait... What will Hawkstar think if I return with only this?" She was already on Hawkstar's bad paw, she didn't want to slip further or it would be the hole...

[Keriae]

(How old is Ternkit?)

Batpaw sighed as she ran. "Do some extra hunting. I'm going back to the Hole. She will never know. Hopefully. Once you have a few more bits of prey, rub them in the ThunderClan scent marks. Then go back to camp." The apprentice dipped her head to the warrior and turned, bounding back to the Hole. She stopped at the entrance, her sides heaving.

Hawkstar looked down at her Clan. "You know that you are all doing pitiful work. That is why we are going to train harder than ever. Once we are ready, we will attack RiverClan." She growled, daring any cat to protest.

[Solanum]

(( Well... She has a crush on Pinekit so, I'm guessing only slightly younger if not the same age. ))

Whispertail dipped her head to the female as she ran off. "Thank you." She ran off, to collect more prey. This was so dull, and repetitive, but it had to be done... After all, the clan had to eat.
She returned back to camp a little later, the bird from earlier, another smaller bird, a rabbit kit and a vole kit/cub/pup/baby. Surely this was enough... "Hawkstar, I have returned. I hope the prey is to your satisfaction. She dipped her head to the leader in respect, hoping to keep her remaining ear intact.

[Keriae]

"Good. Now, I have three new apprentices to make. Venomkit, Pinekit and Ternkit. Step forwards." She ordered. She gazed at the kits, knowing which mentors to give each apprentice.

Venomkit stepped forwards, his head held high and his eyes glowing. Finally!

Pinekit followed his brother, trying to look pleased.

[Solanum]

Ternkit bounded to stand next to Pinekit. She stood tall, her head held high, her weight spread evenly between her four paws. The wind ruffled her fur slightly, making the black mark on her head stand on end. Although slightly stupid, it added to her height, and actually made her look more mature.
As her gaze resumed it's place on Hawkstar, she dipped her head in respect to her leader. This was a time to impress the leader, to show off how impressive you can appear.

[Keriae]

Hawkstar continued. "Until these kits earn their warrior names, the shall be known as Venompaw, Pinepaw and Ternpaw. Ternpaw, you shall be mentored by me. Pinepaw, you will be mentored by Whispertail. Venompaw, you will be mentored by Featherflight." She jumped down and walked over to Ternpaw. "Come."

Pinepaw looked around for Whispertail. He bounded over and touched noses with her.

Venompaw wondered where Featherflight was.

[Solanum]

Whispertail smiled at the kit, touching noses with him. "Hello Pinekit. Or rather Pinepaw now isn't it. You up for some training today?" She cocked her head, blinking down at the young apprentice.

Ternpaw dipped her head to Hawkstar, thanking her silently. A nod and small whimper was all she could manage, being mentored by Hawkstar was an honour indeed, but she was frightened... Although she wouldn't show it. She kept her head held high, her stride long and powerful.

[Keriae]

Pinepaw smiled. "What are we doing first?" He asked. He wanted to fight, so he could beat Venompaw, but he wanted to hunt.

Hawkstar padded to the Hole. She had to let Batpaw out, so that Batpaw could train harder. "Batpaw!" She called into the Hole.

Batpaw walked out, her head low in respect. She stood, waiting for Hawkstar to talk.
