Ravenpaw awoke slowly, bordom seeping from her dreams to her conciousness. It had been long since anything of intrest had taken place. Not that she wanted the clan to be in danger, exactly, but a little bit of action would be nice.
As it were, it had been awhile since she had been able to train. Although having the leader as her mentor was a great honor, and joy, Sunstar was kept busy often. But Ravenpaw wanted to hone her fighting skills! Already she was tired of the apprentices den, and thirsted to do something for her clan besides learn.
Sighing, Ravenpaw stood and stretched her limbs, walking out to slump in front of the apprentices den opening. She groomed her shoulders and back carefully, all the while gazing across the clearing, hoping to spot a playmate. She was about to give up when a mew caught her attention.

Darkpoppy spied Ravenpaw laying outside of the aprentice's den, she looked bored. Mabye she could would like to do some training. "Hey reavenpaw, wanna come hunt and do some fighting training, you don't have to" she added, grinning at the aprentice. Darkpoppy sat down for a moment and licked her alredy silky fur. She looekd at the young cat waiting for her answer.

Ravenpaw gave a mew of excitement as the older cat finished her question.
"Yes! Absolutely!" she jumped up and dashed over to Darkpoppy, "Let's go!" Her tail lashed from side to side impatiently as she gazed up at the deputy with respect.

Darkpoppy grinned wider, she laughed gently at the young aprentice. "Come on then" she smiled and began to run towards the exit. se left the aprentice to follow after. Almost right outside the camp she made a flying leap onto a small rabbit. The taste of blood alerted her of its death. She turned to alert Ravenpaw of her catch.

Darkpoppy took off and Ravenpaw kicked her butt into gear. She wanted to show the deputy what she could do. Her longs legs catauplted her forward as she dashed to keep up.
Suddenly, without breaking stride, Darkpoppy leapt on something. The scent of blood drifted to Ravenpaw, who had skidded to a halt. The older she-cat raised her head, a rabbit in her jaws.
"Wow!" Ravenpaw mewed, impressed. She padded forward, her eyes narrowing as she gazed into the underbrush, "I wanna try!"

"Go ahead, your a good runner" Darkpoppy said, she was nto trying to just praise the aprentice, she was good. Mabye she could help sunstar with some training of Ravenstar. It had been to long since hse had had an aprentice. Darkpoppy flicked her ears toward the rustling grasses suggesting Ravenpaw should go ahead.

Ravenpaw gaven an obediant nod and creapt forward, keeping her paws light. Peeking through the grass Ravenpaw could see the tawny fur that probably belonged to the mother or brother of Darkpoppy's rabbit. Ravenpaw slid one last step, her muscles tightening, then burst from the grass. The rabbit scrambled to run off, but Ravenpaw kept on it's heels. The sheer joy she got from running filled her as she herded the rabbit up against a tree and finished it.
Ravenpaw truimphantly returned to Darkpoppy, pleased to have caught the prey. She dropped it next to her rabbit.
"How did I do?" she asked curiously, not fishing for complements, but truly wanting to improve. She wanted to be perfect.

"Fantastic, you needed abit more spring, btu you are smaller than me, it can be hard to get the right amount of power and speed. I found it very hard when was your age, see you are a great runner, i was always a fighter, my rage makes my strong." She was suprised by Ravenpaws speed.

Ravenpaw stifled a purr, mentally reminding herself to practice springing that afternoon. She then looked up at Darkpoppy.
"How did you get over your rage?" she asked, "Isn't rage a good thing? It helps you fight stronger, doesn't it?" Ravenpaw too had her troubles with her temper. She had a knack for picking fights and tended to anger easily.

Darkpoppy sat down, "The thing abotu my rage is i loose control, i attack anyone who gets in my way. But it was not normally that bad. But if you have a temper that you can not control it takes yu over, i was stronger, btu a moster at points. I had to work on breathing deeply when i was angery, i still loose my temper alot but it is nowhere near as bad as before. Strong fast powerful, but unable to stop myself snapping ta my best friend, leaping at my mentor." Darkpoppy sighed deeply and looked at the aprentice.

Ravenpaw listened carefully as Darkpoppy explained her troubles. It started her thinking about her own troubles, and how she would fix them. Her fears weighed heavily on her mind, obscuring the correct solution.
"Yes, that makes sense," Ravenpaw said in response, with a slight sigh of wistfullness to her voice. She then perked up, though, seeing that this wasn't exactly a topic the Deputy loved. She stood and stretched, turning to face Darkpoppy, "Can we go on a border patrol next?" she asked, her eyes shining with excitement.
