Graytalon stood up and walked over to the apprentice den. He poked his head in to look for his apprentice. "Bravepaw, come on were going hunting."

Bravepaw's head shot up, scattering feathers, moss and leaves everywhere, "Coming!" She jumped out of her nest, scattering more of her bedding and scampered awkwardly out of the den, covered with feathers and moss. "Where are we going today?" Almost unconciously she flexed her injured leg as a twinge of pain lanced through it.

"We are going to go to the pines, none has hunted there in a while," Graytalon said as he walked towards the entrance to the camp.

"Ok!" Bravepaw followed Greytalon, keeping up despite her limp.

"How's your leg keeping up?" asked Graytalon as he walked briskly toward the pines.

"It's fine," Bravepaw said, just as another twinge of pain went through it. She flinched involuntarily, but she kept walking.

"Good, because I smell rabbit," Graytalon said right before speeding off to get the rabbit that just passed by. He chased it into low brambles that he leapt over and grabbed the stuck animal, killing it with a bite to the neck.
Softfur woke up and felt a little pain in her stomach, "the kits will be coming soon," she told herself. She stood up and walked out of the nursery to get some warm mouse, she picked one up and sat down and began eating it.

"Awesome!" Bravepaw said seeing the catch, "When can I try?" she asked, leg forgotten.

"I smell a mouse not too far ahead, try catching it," replied Graytalon.

Bravepaw nodded. She smelled the air and caught the scent of mouse. Then she followed the scent, very quietly, setting down each paw as softly as she could. It was harder to place her back paw down softly but she managed. Finally she was close enough to see the mouse. She prepared for the pounce, kneading the ground with her paws. She wiggled her haunches and pushed up with her back legs. At the last moment her bad leg gave way and she landed short of her prey, but she was able to grab the mouse with a paw before it could run. She quickly took its life and then turned all her attention on her sore leg. It hurt a lot, but she wasn't going to show it. She wanted to be a warrior more than anything, but if she couldn't make it work with her bad leg she was doomed to the medicine cat den or worse the elders den.

"Nice catch!" called Graytalon walking over to his apprentice,"maybe get slightly closer so you can land on it next time but for now lets bury our catches." He dug a whole with his paws and put the rabbit in it then filled the whole back in.

Bravepaw nodded, unable to speak due to her tightly clenched teeth. She buried her own catch and waited for Graytalon's next instruction, injured leg lifted off the ground.

"Let's continue to the pines, if you think your leg will hold up," said Graytalon
Softfur finished the mouse and began grooming herself.

"My leg is fine." Bravepaw said, "Let's go." She started toward the pines. It took all her strength not to limp.

Graytalon followed his apprentice towards the pines, he smelled another mouse and crouched, he crept up and jumped, he overshot and landed on the side of his paw. He yowled in pain and tried to stand up but sat right down as a sharp pain entered his paw.
