|OPEN| The Shinny Stone

[Freezie]

Light blue eyes glittered over the beautiful Breezeclan brook. Light wind blew over her long white and gray fur. A gentle step towards the brook ,made her slow step, grow small and quiet. Her eyes a glittering more as she looked at the brook more closely. A beautiful stone laid on the bottom, in reach from the bank, yet, the water was cold. The she-cat sat on her henchs and studied the rock from afar.

Her name is Featherpaw. Featherpaw was glancing at the rock, when she notice that the small rock had an small glittery thing inside of it. She was very into it now, so she reached one of her gentle, dainty gray paws into the river, grapping the stone in her scrouped shaped paw, she dragged the stone onto the banks, where she looked at it more closely. Her nose traced the rock-stone over and over again, until her eyes faded, that plan 'I don't give a care look appeared. She studied her surrounds, wondering if anyone was around.

Digging a deep hole in the ground, Featherpaw, pushed the rock over into the hole, and covered it up. Her eyes lit as she notice how cleaver she was. Her nose wrinkled up as she notice the fresh-scent of one of her clan mates. Drinking in the scent she notice, it was to hard to notice what is was, cause she was to close to the water.

"Hello? Who's There?!"

Light penetrated through the thickening clouds of the day, it was greenleaf, which meant alot of rain was to come. Breezeclan's meadow looked lush and beautiful. Sorrelstar loved the feeling of the fresh air blow through her brown and white pelt, It made the world almost seem peaceful. She was out for her morning walk, like always she decided to come out and take in her land, the land in which she was leader of. It made her proud to know she was apart of something so beautiful like nature itself. Her paws brought her past the brook that stretched through the territory, a scent wavered in the air, jerking her out of her trace, the scent was defiantly cat, but a wave of relief flushed over her when she noticed it was Breezeclan. She wondered what cat was out this early, she hadn't sent a patrol out yet so it couldn't be a warrior. padding up to the bushes that lined the edge of the brook, she saw a small gray and white body, it was digging a hole, could it possibly be a dog? No, it had the scent of cat, when the cat turned around Sorrelstar knew instantly that it was one of the apprentices, Featherpaw.

Apprentices always had a tendency to escape camp and come out and venture off, she did as a apprentice, so she knew how they felt. Moving towards her, Sorrelstar kept her paw steps silent and steady, as she approached the apprentice, her head snapped up and she looked frantically around, "Hello? Who's There?!" the gray she-cat called, Sorrelstar wore a bemused look on her face as she moved out of her hiding spot, studying featherpaw she started, "Your leader, Sorrelstar," she smiled, "I thought you would have known it was me, or was your attention somewhere else?" she asked, she wasn't trying to be mean to the she-cat, she wasn't even her apprentice, "So, what are doing out so early in the morning?" she asked with a smile, Sorrelstar was a kind cat, she took her clan by heart with her winning smile and all, but on her bad days, cats tend to avoid her because she ends up being so sassy and mean. She could help that. she was a she-cat, every she-cat goes through moods like that. She wasn't in that mood today, nothing had peeved her into getting that way, and plus nature took it's toll on her personality.

Featherpaw's eyes forced themself on to her leader, and with a purr, the she-cat meowed, very gently and quietly, "Oh I was very into this stone..." Her voice trailed off as she purred gently. Her nose wrinkled up as she meowed gently, "Oh It's always beautiful in the morning to watch the sunrise and the brook shine. Featherpaw closed her eyes and looked at her new hole. Dipping it back up and grapping the stone she placed it at Sorrelstar's paws. The shinny see threw side showing.


-No Muse-

[~S.i.l.v.e.r.~]

Sorrelstar couldn't help but smile at the apprentice's fascination for a stone, she remember those days where everything could distract her. Shiny stuff especially. She moved over to wear she was digging up her find, Featherpaw set a stone st her paws and Sorrelstar inspected it, it was indeed shinny and pretty, to her it looked like a gem. Sorrelstar smiled and looked at featherpaw, "Why don't you keep it featherpaw? it's a pretty stone." she offered shifting it over with her paw to where featherpaw was, she smiled. "Would you like to patrol around with me? it's always nice to have some company" she purred as she got up off her hutches and stretched. The one think she enjoyed about being a leader is that she gets to change the apprentices to warriors, which means he gets to decide their warrior name, she had it all planned out already with featherpaw, she was a pretty she-cat, and usually Sorrelstar named the cat by their personality and looks. She got her warrior name after her pelt, Sorrelfeather was her warrior name.

Her leader decided that, Sorrelstar's pelt was as soft as could be, she and always kept it groomed as a kit. Her warrior days seemed so far away, she hadn't be leader for to long so this was all new to her, and she hasn't yet held a ceremony, she couldn't wait for it.

(sorry i have muse either. aha)

Featherpaw smiled and trotted towards the leader, after putting the stone in the hole and covering with with dirt. Her eyes round like moons, the apprentice stayed about three cat paw's away from her leader, giving her leader her space needed. A small flicker of her ears gave her the impression that there was prey around. Stalking towards a rabbit hole she spotted a rabbit head. Gripping the head of the rabbit with both her claws she killed it quickly. "Here Sorrelstar." She meowed.

[~S.i.l.v.e.r.~]

Sorrelstar heard a faint rustle in the grass, and she knew for a fact that it was prey. She would have looked for it, but this was her chance to see what Featherpaw could do, she heard it not to long after Sorrelstar did, Featherpaw quietly stalked it in brush, looking for something that could resemble life. She watched the apprentice stalk to a rabbit hole as a rabbit head popped out. this made Sorrelstar smile wide, Featherpaw had really good ears. giving it a quick kill she drug the body up to her, presenting her leader with a smile and a piece of pray. "Well, what a nice catch you got her Featherpaw" she praised, "I will indeed tell you mentor that you killed a rabbit today, you tend to surprise me." she smiled and got up, she started digging a little hole and pushed the dead rabbit in. "We'll get it on way back." she said as she started up the slope, she looked over her shoulder back at the apprentice, "Lets hunt some more, i want to see what you've got." she turned her head back up and made it to the top of the hill.

-blah-

[Freezie]

Featherpaw was stunned with happiness. Her eyes closed for a moment, and when she opened them, Sorrelstar was up the hill already. Pelted up to the leader she stopped dead and scented the air. Her mouth was open, letting the wind blow into her scent glades. After picking up the scent of prey, she looked for any dens around. Spotting one about a fox-tail away, she studied it. 'Water vole' Listening quietly she tried to hear the sound of the vole. But the only sound was the splashing of a vole in the water. Slowly, she turned away from her leader and stalked down into the water. Quietly she stalked threw the shallows of the brook, her eyes locked on the vole. When she was three paw strokes away, she leapted. Falling into the deepest part of the brook with the water vole, she turned and raised her head, so she could kill the vole. With in heart beats the vole gave up and reaching her head under she gripped the vole and swam back to her leader. The vole, drowned in her jaws, was soaking wet. Digging a vole she meowed. "That's a hard way to stalk a vole."

[blackrose]

Blackrose watched her leader and Featherpaw thoughtfully, safe in the bush downwind. Sorrelstar was very sweet to praise the young apprentice so kindly, and Blackrose felt a pang as the apprentice looked at the leader with such pride. Slipping neatly out of hiding, she padded up beside Sorrelstar. "Greetings Sorrelstar.She did well catching that vole. But mind she doesn't end up ill after all that swimming." She purred in amusement, the antics of Featherpaw digging a hole for her prize, distracting her. Dirt hit her pelt, but she merely shook it off, laughing. Today she was in a very good mood.

[~S.i.l.v.e.r.~]

Sorrelstar observed as Featherpaw marched after a water vole, She could see all the stuff that the apprentice was doing wrong, but she would let her know later. At the end of Featherpaw's little hunt she ended up in the brook with the vole in her mouth, her long pretty fur was now sticked to body. Sorrelstar couldn't help but let a roll of laughter escape, she looked own at the apprentice and at the same time Blackrose came out, She greeted her with a purr and looked at Featherpaw. "Greetings Sorrelstar.She did well catching that vole. But mind she doesn't end up ill after all that swimming." Sorrelstar dipped her head and stated, "Good morning Blackrose, and i might say your right, But Featherpaw tried her best. At least she caught up with some swimming lessons." she teased and purred looking at Featherpaw with a dangling vole in her mouth.

[Freezie]

Featherpaw bowed away as the two older cats talked about her, in both good and bad. She studied her surrounds. She loved ow she tried to stalk in the water, it was fun, getting wet was something she liked to do by herself. Letting others see was something beyond her. Studing her leader and the warrior she meowed very softly. "I actually learned by my self to hunt threw the water."

[blackrose]

Blackrose stopped talking to her leader while she watched the apprentice. The she-cat meowed something very softly, but Blackrose guessed from the lip movements that she was talking about hunting in water. "You are a very smart apprentice, Featherpaw. I know you will make Breezeclan proud." She purred, and with a nod at Sorrelstar, she gathered up some of the dockleaves by the water. Twitching her tail at her clanmates, she made her way back to camp, the dock leaves for their medicine cat to carry mousebile and such on.

[~S.i.l.v.e.r.~]

Sorrelstar watched as Blackrose found what she needed and gave a quick bow to Sorrelstar before head back to camp. the cat disappeared out of sight and she smiled down at featherpaw, "You are a smart apprentice, Featherpaw, like Blackrose said. I'm sure your gonna make a great warrior, am i right?" she smiled as she qeustioned the apprentice. She let a low purr rumble in her throat as Featherpaw tried to sort out the fur on her back. "Well, lets continue so we can get all this prey back to the camp for the Elders. they'll be getting grumppy." she teased as she started walking ahead.
