Corruptionpaw nodded feeling a warm feeling of pride...she liked him. well maybe a little bit. "Okay fine by me." he meowed softly

"First thing you need to know is that the prey will feel the tremors in the ground from your pawsteps before it scents or sees you. When you get close try sliding your paws like this.." she dropped into a stalking crouch and slid her paws over the ground.
"There are special techniques for certain prey like toads or lizards as opposed to birds and mice and rats. We'll cover that later though. Also be mindful to stay clear of the long grasses and ferns. Sometimes they make excellent hiding places if you're looking to ambush an enemy warrior, but if you brush against them the moving shadow spooks your prey."
She nodded to a clump of grass,"I think I detect a mouse over there. Why don't you see if you can catch it?"

Corruptionpaw quietly slinked forwards went to just caught the mouse by the tail but it slipped from his grasp. "Oh fox dung!" he exclaimed frustrated

She sighed and twitched her tail impatiently. This wasn't going to be as easy as the other warriors always made it look.
"You've got to approach from DOWNWIND. Just because it's a stupid little mouse doesn't mean it can't smell you..oh bother. Well no use crying over prey that got away. Let's move on, shall we? We'll head over to the Thunderclan border and see if we can't scare up a thrush or a squirrel.."
She flickered her tail for him to follow her and trotted off West of the camp.

"Sorry...They have weird tails...Is there a legend how they got like that?" he asked walking alongside her

Darkheart paused. Maybe she'd been too hard on the kit..apprentice. She'd been his age once. "A legend? I suppose the Medicine Cat might know one..never been much for spending time at the Medicine Cat's den though..but I imagine..it has something to do with the the great clans, like Tigerclan. Perhaps when the first tiger was very hungry and could find no big tiger-sized prey they happened upon the first mouse and caught it by it's skinny little tail. But tigers had huge jaws, big enough to swallow a full groan warrior whole, so the first tiger would have bitten right through the mouses' tail without even meaning to. And when the mouse's tail grew back it was all pink and hairless like a worm."
She paused and groomed a patch of hair,"Of course there are mice with furry tails. Dormice are round mice with furry tails. But they hibernate much more than normal mice so we don't see them so much."

Corruptionpaw nodded eyes widened. "Have you even been in a great battle?" he asked ashe passed a marvelously pink tongue throuhg his black pelt his venomous green eyes wide and curious.

She paused and licked at the prominent lighting bolt shapedscar on her chest,"I got this when I was about you age. My brother Wrenkit was born deaf and wandered out of the camp. He was carried off by a fox. When I was apprenticed I tracked the dogfoxthat killed my brother and tried to kill it by myself. It was a very brutal fight and I was almost toorn appart. I would have been if my mentor hadn't arrived and saved me. I spent more than a moon in the medicine cat's den before they knew if I'd live to be a warrior. Other than that, I've had my fair share of battles with Riverclan or Thunderclan, but none quite so bloody and terrifying. I'm sure in future the peace won't hold though. Thunderclan and shadowclan have always been on edge against one another."

Corruptionpaw nodded "Thundercaln is full of pitious yellow bellied cowardicefools!" he spat disgusted by the thought of the enemy clan. "I'msorry about your brother." he added softly.

Darkheart nodded in response."I wouldn't worry about them..there will be chances enough to sharpen your claws on the pelts of Thunderclan in the days to come." she hissed softly at the scent of Thunderclan as they reached the border, checking the markers a Shadowclan patrol had recently laid. She half hoped some stupid Thunderclan cat would be dumb enough to cross the border so her apprentice could get a taste for battle.

Corruptionpaw thought about Thunderclan "What makes them think we owe them so much anyway? Shadowclan is strong and independent!" he half hissed

Her whiskers twitched in dry amusement," The first thing you learn about Thunderclan is they think they are better than anyone. As far as they're concerned every other clan should trip over their own paws to submit to them and give them prey."
She checked a marker and her fur stood on end. Was Thunderclan trying to move their borders into Shadowclan territory? She was certain this marking was farther in that it should be. It must be some fox-dung brained Thunderclan apprentice trying to show how tough he was by making trouble. She located the cat's scent and followed it, stiffling a growl.

Corruptionpaw noted his mentor's anger. Hmm. he thought. What's going on here? He followed his mentor into Thunderclan territory. He was sure to step lightly and to keep his beathing soft.

Normally Darkheart knew she should have gone to her clan leader before going into Thunderclan territory, but her fur was bristled and she was too angry to think clearly about rules. Instead she started tracking the scent of the apprentice towards the camp.

Corruptionpaw finally understood what was going on. Thunderclan was moving thier scent onto Shadowclan land! Oooh the nerve! He followed his mentor anger growing rapidly with each step he took.
