Whitestar bounded up the hill, exhausted. Upon reaching the top, she looked down for Sunpaw. She was excited for Sunpaw's first lesson, but tired from running up the hill. She was unsure if she would teach Sunpaw to fight, hunt, or give her a tour... it would be Sunpaw's choice. She kneaded the grass below her nervously but it was wet with dew and only got her paws wet as she scanned the hill for any sign of Sunpaw.

Sunpaw came creeping through the grassiness of the hill, she knew that Whitestar could probably see her, but she wanted to suprise her, so with a leap she mewed"Here"And landed on her paws to hard, her paws gave way and she landed on her stomach.Grinning sheepishly, she returned to sitting positon"What are we doing today Whitestar?"She mewed questioningly.

Whitestar grinned as the apprentice fell. "You're choice," she began, sitting down next to Sunpaw. "Would you like to have a tour, learn some fighting basics, or try some hunting?" she asked, not really caring which she chose. She knew most apprentices would rather fight or hunt rather than tour, but this kit was rather new to the clan and most likely didn't know the territory as well as the kits clan-born.
((Sunpaw wasn't clan-born was she?))

/{no used to be a loner ;D]
Sunpaw thought hard, she knew how to fight and hunt but not properly, yet she didnt know the borders, so she mewed in a strong voice"I think Touring, I dont want to end up shredded because I put a paw on som,eone elses territory"
She looked at whitestar, she had never noticed how big she was, a huge cat, Sunpaw looked at her paws, they were big,mabe she would grow big too.

Whitestar nodded at the she-cat. "Okay," she said, looking up at the sky for a moment before continuing. "This, as you know, is Grassy Hill. We use this place for training, mostly, because it has a lot of prey to practice on and it is large. Of course, we use it for hunting a lot, too," she said, glancing at a rabbit and squirrel scurrying by. She pounced unexpectantly on a rabbit that was only a tail-length away and killed it with a claw. She nudged it towards Sunpaw. "Try it. The prey here is delicious," she said while busily burying the bones into the hill.

Sunpaw listened intently to the leader, eyes fixed upon her huge frame, against Sunpaws tiny kitness.She flinched at the leaders unexpected pounce, she tried some of the prey,"MMMMM!"She mewed"This is sooo much better than twoleg junk!"Sunpaw pulled and ate untill half of it was gone, then remembering her manners she mewed"Do you want some?"And finished her half with a few more tiny bites.She stared at the grassy hills and the field beyond"And whats beyond these hills?"She questioned

Whitestar smiled at the kit's reaction to the delicious food. She remembered her first actual prey that had been caught here and her own enthusiastic reaction to the great prey. "Just beyond these hills is the Crystal Pond. It's great to swim in during green-leaf, but we mostly use it for hunting because it has a lot of delicious fish we can eat." She gestured for Sunpaw to follow her towards Crystal Pond with a flick of her tail as she strode up to the shimmering pond. It was shaded by tall oaks and she easily noticed ripples throughout the water with the fish swimming. "Try and catch one," she said, knowing that asking Sunpaw to catch a piece of prey in each part of their land would not only help her learn, but it would be good for the clan, too. "Just dip your paw in, it's warm, and try and feel for a fish swimming nearby, but try not to intimidate it or it'll swim away." She looked eagerly into the pond, seeing several fish swim by with swift movements of their fins.

Sunpaw licked her chops and gazed out across the plains, she saw a glittering pond full to the brim and splashing with fish.She pawed her way over with Whitestar to the sparkly pond, she gazed at it in wonder, her auds pinned back listining to Whitestar.Sunpaw dipped her paw into the water, eyes closed and concentrating,she felt one brush delicatly against her paw and hooked it, she brought it up, flicking it to try and get it off, yet it flew into the water, and she bit her paw in reminder to sheath her claws next time, and looked at Whitestar, unsure of what to do next.

Whitestar smiled at her apprentice, amusement playing in her eyes. "Good try," she complimented. "Do you want to try again or move on?" she asked, preparing a mental explanation about Whispering Pines Grove... what she thought would be the hardest to explain but the most important.

"I can try again later"She mewed, she pounced over to Whitestar, and almost tripped in the process, she grinned sheepishly and mewed"Lets go!"And followed Whitestar.

Whitestar nodded and sprinted towards Whispering Pine Grove. She turned and waited for Sunpaw before continuing the tour. "This is Whispering Pine Grove," she said, nodding her head towards the shady grove of pines before them. "It is here that Starclan is said to speak to those lucky enough to be chosen for a special destiny by Starclan," she said, a trace of mystery and excitement in her voice. "You needn't go in. There is rarely any prey. Evenso, it is forbidden to hunt as it serves as a graveyard for those who've died in our clan." She thought for a moment, wondering if there was anything else to say that Sunpaw would comprehend. "To fully understand this place, you must have experience inside it. Maybe someday you'll be able to," she said hopefully. Her apprentice having a special connection to Starclan was all she could ask for.

Sunpaw kept a light trot with Whitestar, one of her strides was about a fifth of Whitestars, so she kept a small pace as they traveled to Whispering pine grove, she stared at it in awe, she had never seen anything like it, it was huge, it was beautiful.Auds perked forward, something was in there, one day she was going to explore in there, something was calling."Do you know anyone in there?"She mewed then bit her paw in embarrasment and mewed"Sorry, that was a bad question."She gazed at her paws, hoping she hadnt sent the leader into bad memories, like the ones that visited Sunpaw every night.

Whitestar shook her head. "No, it wasn't a bad question," she said wistfully, memories flooding through her, some good some bad. "My family is there... my friends... my mentor..." with each word she remembered them individually, a picture formed in her mind. She turned to Sunpaw. "Any questions or places you want to go again before we head back to camp?" she was through touring and was getting hungry.

Sunpaw thought for a while, she had asked only a few questions, yet her stomach growled in protest, she would give anything for a fat,juicy mouse right now, she stared at the forest for a minute then mewed"Nah im good, lets go get lunch!"She bounded up in front.

Whitestar smiled and raced off towards camp. She looked over at Sunpaw. "Would you like to do fighting or hunting tomorrow?" she asked as she bounded towards camp. She was anxious for tomorrow's lesson where she would be able to see how much skill her apprentice really had.
