Lynxfur sat down at the base of a dune. The sun wasn't very high yet and the sand still felt cool beneath her paws. Patiently she waited for Pouncepaw to catch up while she gave her chest fur a few licks.

Pouncepaw qucky caught up with her mentor and sat down to wait for instruction.
She looked up at the sky and squinted, thank goodess it wasn't too hot, she
probably would've been passed out by now. 'Maybe that's why she got me
up to early,' she thought with some guilt. She looked back at Lynxfur and sighed.

"You kept well so far" Lynxfur praised. "So these are the dunes. This is were our main hunting grounds are. Some would look over them just seeing the everlasting sand, but DesertClan cats can see and scent the live thats all around. Things moving beneath the sand, blending in so well only scent will betray them." she mewed solemnly remembering these words that cam from her mentor. Lynxfur strained her ears and slightly opened her mouth to take the air in over her scent glans. Perfect she thought a Rattlesnake and Jack Rabbit not to far. "Tell me Pouncepaw what can you scent?

Pouncepaw blinked numbly a couple of times. Scent? There was nothing but
sand! That's all she smelt, sand. "Um, she began nervously." She opened
her mouth to try to drink in some kind of scent, anything. 'How in StarClan
does the fresh-kill pile stay up..' Finally, Poucepaw caught the scent of
a snake, "Rattlesnake!" she said excitedly. She missed the jack
rabbit in her excitement.

"Very good with that scent you safed your life. Can you smell one that will fill your belly?" she purred satisfied with Pouncepaw. Not to bad for the first try she thought.

Pouncepaw smiled at her mentor's praise, 'Okay, try not to concentrate on
the sand!!' The she-cat closed her eyes and smelt the air around them. There
was something familiar, she had it before. She just didn't quite remember what
it was. "Um.. rabbit?" she guessed. She glanced around the dunes.

"Good job!" Lynxfur purred "Now when you stalk a Rabbit you have to remember that they have those big ears for a reason. Very quietly you need to talk upon it as close as you can, cause once they run its almost impossible to catch up on them. So watch for now the next one is yours to catch." she continued before going into a hunting crouch. Carefully she made sure the sand wouldn't shift beneath her paws. The long eared creature scuffled among some remnace of dried up grass. She was only a tail length away before the rabbit pricked up its ear, but to late Lynxfur leaped and finished it of before it could squeal. She dragged the rabbit back to Pouncepaw:"Care to share? We are not on a hunting mission so its OK to eat, but if we catch anything else it will go straight to the elders" she mewed as she laid down the rabbit.

Pouncepaw sighed mentally in relief. 'Lucky guess.' She watched her mentor
stalk the rabbit. She noted the she-cats's movements and wondered how she
would fare on her first hunt. "Sure," Pouncepaw replied some-what hungerly.
She sunk her teeth into the rabbit and ate a little quickly, but not too much.
She licked her jaws after she was done; she felt she had to hurry up for some reason.
'I hope I don't get a bellyache later..' She licked her paw and drew it
over her ear a few times, waiting for Lynxfur to eat.

Lynxfur watched in amazement as Pouncepaw devoured her share of prey. Amusement sparkling in her Eyes Lynxfur bent down delicately ate the last few bites of rabbit. Lynxfur swiped the last traces of rabbit of the end of her whiskers before she mewed:"Ok lets see if there is anything at the ruins to catch for you." And of she went indicating with her tail for Pouncepaw to follow.
to be continued at the ruins....
