"Alright, Pinknose, today we will be teaching you how to hunt!" Spiderfang smiled. Pinknose looked excited but growled playfully "And don't you dare call me Pinkpaw! Alright, mentor, what first?"
"The hunter's crouch. Observe...." Spiderfang crouched low, belly low to the ground. Pinknose nodded and copied him.

SPiderfang looked smiled at Scarstar. Pinknose gave a dry little cough and he turned his attention back to her. "That was good. Now, sniff the air, what do you smell?"
"You, me, Scarstar..."
"Besides us." he mewed patiently "Prey-wise."
Pinknose took a deep breath, tasting the air. Her eyes lit up "Mouse!"
"Very good." Spiderfang purred "Now... let's catch it."

"Just use that technique, walk quietly - watch out for branches! You don't want to step on anything noisy - and when you are close enough. pounce and kill it quickly. Ok?" Spiderfang mewed. He thought he covered the basics. Besides, practice makes perfect.
Pinknose nodded, eyes gleaming. SHe sank down into the hunter's crouch, and slowly crept towards the string scent of the mouse. SPeed would come later, but for now, she was doing fine. She avoided a patch of crunchy bracken, being extra careful. She heard the mouse scrambling in the grass, and tensed, preparing herself to leap...
Instead the mouse shot out! She yelped in surprise and the mouse froze. In that instant Pinknose reacted, and leaped. SHe killed the mouse before it could run, biting it in the back of the neck. She waved her tail triumphantly, and let the warm little body hit the ground. "Spiderfang, Scarstar! Spiderfang, I did it! I really caught it!"

"I suppose you may eat this one, considering its your first. I think Spiderfang and I can manage, or you can pratice some more." Scarstar said purring.

"Oh!" the first mouse was forgotten and she bounced around like an excited kit "I wanna try it again!"
Spiderfang glanced at Scarstar, he had been hoping to go hunting with her

Pinknose was stalking towards a bush when she suddenly straightened up.
Spiderfang looked at her, puzzled. "what's wrong?"
"There's a patch of snow!" Pinknose exclaimed, eyes wide.
"What? That's impossible, it's greenleaf.."
Suddenly, the pile of 'snow' jumped up. It was a cat! A little white tom with sky-blue eyes. It opened its jaws in a huge yawn, showing it's pink tongue.
Spiderfang purred. "It's a kitten! Hello, there."
The cat's eyes popped open, and he stared at the three cats. "Huh? When did you get here!
"Um, we've been here all morning. You were asleep. My name is Spiderfang. What's yours?"
"Milk!" the white tom mewed in reply.
Pinknose purred, "He's so cute! Can we keep him?"

Pinknose blushed. Spiderfang flicked the pink-nosed she-cat. "It's okay, we get you're point. We will have to ask him if he will join."
Milk's blue eyes widened. "I don't know! I looked for her everywhere! I was so tired yesterday I just fell asleep by that bush. I've been looking for a quarter moon. We were staying in an old badger sett, and she told me to stay there while she went hunting. I waited ALL DAY, and after a while, I was so hungry, I went outside. Mother taught me a bit of hunting and I managed to catch a tiny mouse. I went back and waited for her, and waited and waited! So I set out to look for her...." he looked very small and scared, and his eyes were full of sorrow. "I think she left me. Or, she's dead."

Scarstar smiled at the little cat, she liked him, she meowed, "You can come stay with us for a while if youd like. We could help you look for her if you want. Would you like to?"

Milk purred, "Really? Can I? That would be great! Thanks! Oh, and your names are?" He remembered he wasn't supposed to talk to strangers. If they told him their names, they wouldn't be strangers. "He's Spiderfang, you are...?"
