Heatherpaw sat beside the creek, her front paw raised over the water. Seeing a flash of silver beneath the surface, she struck out, spalshing her paw into the water and hooking it back out, but with nothing to show for her hunting attempt. Growling, she hunched her shoulders and again watched, driving her paw forwards at another silver flash. Again, Heatherpaw was empty pawed. Flicking her tail angrily Heatherpaw, dove forwards, jumping into the creek and letting the cooling water bathe her and cool her down from the hot sun that streamed down.

From somewhere among the bushes, Coyotestar's laugh could be heard. She was actually not standing very far from where Heatherpaw was, her pelt had blended in well with her surroundings. "Decide to go for a swim Heatherpaw?" She padded over and stood by the waters edge, looking down at her apprentice.

Heatherpaw paddled to shore, a frown across her muzzle. "That wasn't funny. You could have told me you were there so it wouldn't be so embaressing." Heatherpaw meowed bluntly, her hotheaded nature getting the best of her. "Besides, I would have had that fish anyways, but it was too hot."

"Calm down Heatherpaw, you should've seen me when I tried to catch a fish, Not only did I fall in, I pulled my best friend Nightclaw in with me, we both went back to the clan empty paws" Coyotestar chuckled. "So, you want to train today or keep trying at that fish?"

Heatherpaw almost smiled, but once she was in her mood, she was too stubborn to give it up. "Sure whatever. I'm never going to be any better at catching fish anyways." Heatherpaw muttered, shaking her pelt as dry as she could get, then padding back to the creeks edge.

Coyotestar rolled her eyes "Well not with that attitude you wont, just don't let your shadow cast over the water" Coyotestar stood at a certain position at the waters edge, then flashed her paw out. A shiny silver fish flew out of the water and Coyotestar quickly hooked it on her claws, killing it swiftly.

Dropping the attitude, Heatherpaw watched, jaw agape, as the fish flew out of the water and landed nearby as Coyotestar killed it. "How did you do that?" She squeked, staring up at her mentor, attention completly focused now.

[size=1"Like I said, you just can't let your shadow fall over the water or the fish will know your there, then you need patience" Coyotestar padded over to Heatherpaw and showed her a good way to stand, since the sun made their shadows face the water it was a bit harder so she had to stand in a direction to where her shadow would face the other way. "Then you look closely in the water, and when you see a fish" She swiped her paw down and brought out another fish. "Grab it, now you try"[/size]

Heatherpaw nodded, entirely intrigued. Standing with her shadow away from the water, Heatherpaw stared intently into its surface until a silver flash again sparked in Heatherpaw's violet eyes. Striking out, she hooked her claws then pulled out her paw swiftly, sending a fish flining into the air. Quick as she could go, Heatherpaw jumped into the air and caught the fish,falling to the ground and rolling until she sat with the fish dead between her paws. Shaking her head, Heatherpaw looked up at Coyotestar. "Like that?" She meowed.

Coyotestar laughed "Like that, but you didn't have to jump, although I guess it does add a bit of fun to catching a fish, so, you want to try some battle training?" Coyotestar, even though she was the leader, was still a big kid inside so it made it easier for her to train Heatherpaw.

"Always. I want to be able to be strong enough and beat away any cat that trys to invade our territory!" Heatherpaw growled, eyes narrowing as she stalked on an imaginary warrior, pouncing and landing on the creek bed, but the soil was slippery there and she ended up plummeting into the creek with a yowl. Breaking the surface, she again paddled to the shore and shook her fur.

"Then try attacking a real warrior. Attack me Heatherpaw" Coyotestar crouched down, her tail swaying back and forth. She was ready for Heatherpaw.

Heatherpaw nodded and then crouched like her mentor, stalking in a circle before her eyes darted to Coyotestar's left shoulder. Charging forwards, Heatherpaw made way towards her mentor's shoulder, then shot to the left, diving underneath Coyotestar and puching off the ground with her paws, slamming her back into the leader's stomach.

Coyotestar rolled over onto her back then leaped to her paws, charging at Heatherpaw and leaping over her, landing behind the apprentice and kicking with her back legs.

Heatherpaw stumbled forwards, then whirled around, growling. Leaping at Coyotestar, she landed right in front of the leader, then jumped onto her back, dragging him onto the ground with her weight.
