SeTtLiNg In (Luny)

[*Beechstar*]

OOC: This is going to take place in a bunch of spots but start in the Clearing.

IC: A tortoiseshell she-cat opened her blue eyes and gazed around the warriors den. She smiled at Hawkstripe, how was still sleeping. Whitefire yawned. She had not dreamed the night before, being so tired from visiting StreamClan's camp, talking to Lunarstar, coming back to camp, and being pregnant. She had shared her piece of moss, which was getting old, with Hawkstripe. She got up and stretched, and blinking to wake herself up. Smiling again, she prodded Hawkstripe. "Hey, we need to get you some moss. I'm due for some new moss too. Plus, I need to teach you to hunt." She had planned on doing that yesterday, but after visiting StreamClan she had been too tired. She waited for him to get up, making a mental note to ask Hawkstar if she needed more moss so Hawkstripe could practice.

[{Lunarstar}]

Hawkstripe blinked his icy blue eyes open to see his mate. He yanwed as she told him about moss collecting and hunting. Great. Now I have to give up eating fish and swimming. He yawned once more and stood up. "Okay. Lead the way!"

[*Beechstar*]

Whitefire smiled at her mate. "Ok. But first I need to ask Hawkstar if she needs more moss. It'll be good practice for you." She stepped out of the den, blinking against the bright morning sun. She padded over to Hawkstar's den and called out, "Hawkstar, do you need fresh moss?" She waited for a reply.

[.:*Hawkstar*:.]

Hawkstar jolted awake at the voice of Whitefire. Sitting up, the dark tabby stretched. "Sure, I could use some. Why don't you two stock up the kill pile while you're out?" The dark leader padded out of her den and into the sunlight. Shaking her ruffled pelt, she sat down and began to groom through her fur.

OOC:: Muse, COME BACK!!!!

[*Beechstar*]

Whitefire called back at Hawkstar, "ok. It'll give Hawkstripe good practice with both activities." She turned to her mate and smiled at making him do manual labor. She turned to leave, meowed, "come on," and started towards the forest. Once she was near the entrance of camp, she stopped and waited for Hawkstripe.

[{Lunarstar}]

Hawkstripe followed his mate, Whitefire, still stiff from sleeping on the hard ground. He was used to the soft dirt of the warriors den in StreamClan. He sighed silently and gazed at Whitefire. "Where to?"

[*Beechstar*]

Whitefire smiled at her mate, who was so clueless. "I think we should hunt first, seeing as Hawkstar will be hungry and the moss ca wait. We'll go to the SkyClan border. Normally there's lots of prey. I'll show you how once, but you have to catch some on your own." She started off towards the SkyClan border, which was opposite of the way she had taken yesterday with Hawkstripe and Hawkstar. She continued walked, knowing that Hawkstripe was following.

[{Lunarstar}]

Hawkstripe sighed and followed. He felt like a young apprentice, going out for his first time and, sadly, having to be shown how to hunt. As he entered the forest he immediately smelled mice, squirrels, and rabbits. They smelled good.

[*Beechstar*]

Whitefire stopped walking abruptly when she realized that she should teach Hawkstripe the hunters crouch BEFORE they saw the prey. She turned to Hawkstripe and meowed, "wait, I should show you how to hunt before we stop the prey. Watch me." She instinctively dropped into the hunters crouch and crawled forward, making sure to not step on branches or touch the ground with her underbelly. She stopped after going a fox length away. "Now you try." She smiled at her mate, knowing he could get it.

[{Lunarstar}]

Hawkstripe sighed and crouched down, his belly almost brushing the grass. He slowly put a paw in front of the other, picking up silence and agility as he stalked. He stopped where Whitefire had and looked up, smiling, he could tell immediately he'd done well. If Hawkfrost could stalk, I can, too!

As Hawkstripe stood, his head started pounding. "Arrgh!" He yelled, bending his head in pain. The throbbing continued for a few more heartbeats and he felt himself fall asleep. In his dream he was walking through a dark forest, no sign of stars or a moon here. He slowly walked, even though there was no light source, there was enough light to cast shadows. He shivered uncomfortably. Then he realized what was going on. He'd been waiting for this momment. Brambleclaw, the good son of Tigerstar, had told of dreams he'd had that came from Tigerstar. Tigerstar trained him and Hawkfrost through these dreams. Hawkstripe had been waiting for one, but none had ever came. Finally, it was his turn.

"Finally. You have come." Hawkstripe spun around at the unfamiliar voice. There, stood his kin, Hawkfrost. Hawkstripe had heard of Hawkfrost's appearance. He was a dark brown tabby with startling, icy, mean, blue eyes. He was the exact replica of Brambleclaw, except Brambleclaw had amber eyes, just like Tigerstar.

"I've been waiting for a good chance to speak with you. Now's as good as any." Hawkfrost started, in a suprisingly gentle, calm voice.

"I have a warning for you. After this warning, you will wake up. But you will not hear the last of me. Until the time of this, I will train you in your sleep. You need to survive. Now, the warning.
The battle of the ages,
between the good and the bad,
in an atttemt to kill the evil,
but the god doesn't know,
of the warning he had."

Hawkfrost was forced out of his dream, into consiouceness again. He blinked in suprise and stood up slowly.

[*Beechstar*]

Whitefire watched as Hawkstripe did a great demonstration of the hunters crouch. She smiled back at her mate when he smiled at her. She gasped as Hawkstripe collapsed and fell asleep. She crouched down next to him and meowed repeatedly, "Hawkstripe, Hawkstripe. Are you ok?" She gasped with happiness when he started to stir and wake up.

[{Lunarstar}]

"Ummm....Yeah..."Hawkstripe meowed, unsure of what to say. Hawkfrost hadn't said wether or not to tell... He replayed the prophesy in his head and decided to tell Hawkstar when they returned. He glanced at Whitefire and asked, "ready to hunt?"

[*Beechstar*]

"Yes." She got up, ready to steady Hawkstripe if he needed it. She paused. "are you sure your ok? I can wait if needed." She wasn't sure that Hawksripe was 100 percent yet.

OOC: Sorry so short. I used all of my muse in Featherstar's death.

[{Lunarstar}]

Hawkstripe nodded and sniffed the air. He caught the scent of a rabbit. Sniffing for a bit longer, he detected the scent. It was right beside him, nibbling on a few strands of grass. Hawkstripe crouched, quickly, yet silently, putting one paw in front of the other. A tail length from the rabbit, he leaped, landing on it. Steadying it with his paws, Hawkstripe bit into it's neck, killing it instantly. He kicked dirt over it and started sniffing again.

[*Beechstar*]

OOC:Luny, SkyClan is basically the main Clan who hunts rabbits. You can use them but only occasionally.

IC: Whitefire was surprised that Hawkstripe was so good already. She meowed a, "good job," to him before she started to scent around. She scented a shrew and quickly spotted it. She dropped into the hunters crouch and crawled forward, being careful not to step on twigs. She jumped on her prey and killed it with a bite to the neck. She quickly buried it and meowed to Hawkstripe, "we probably only need a few more kills before were done." She turned back to the forest and started smelling again.
