Her den was warm and filled with the sweet smell of herbs, the medical items stacked neatly on ledges, the colour surrounding her was black, and like her pelt she blended in nicely.
A single lone dew drop rolled down the crooked walls of her cave, making a zig zagging motions as it passed jutting out slabs of rock. Coming to a drop, the small water droplet landed with a small plop onto the femme's black nose, thus awakening her from a deep slumber.
Paws twitching, pelt rippling in response, violet optics flickered open, the colour glowing alien against the pitch blackness.
Now stretching each leg in turn, a large gaping yawn passing through her maws, Nightwind rose from her mossy nest and padded over to the smaller one beside her. Prodding the still sleeping form that was her apprentice, a low hiss produced from her voice box,
"Ivorypaw, wake up! Time to continue your training, you'll sleep the day away mouse brain!"
Nightwind gave her one final jab in the ribs hoping this would wake her up. [/color][/left] |

"I'm getting up ok. You only needed to do that once," meowed Ivorypaw. She would have like to sleep the day aawy, but Nightwind was right. She got out of her nest, shook the moss that was still in her fur, and waited to see what she was going to do for the day.

Nightwind tilted her cranium, violet audits flickering with a teasing air that suggested she was in a playful mood. White tail tip switched back and forth with amusement, not saying anything as she appeared to be watching her apprentice with pride, something she always did when settling her focus on the young femme. Swishing her tail across her maws, the femme snapped out of her quite state and mewed,
"Today is a busy day! We are going to two leg place to collect some cat nip."
She had replied in a more cheerful tone than usual, her movements slightly more twitchy than they usually would be.
Flicking her tail, the femme rose to sturdy paws, and without another words spun around and trotted out of the medicine den. |

Ivorypaw walked after Nightwind surprised that they where going to Twolegs place. She never really got to see what their habitats where like till know. "This is going to be amazing," she mewed happily.

Nightwind bowed her cranium in agreement, the silent head motion replying to Ivorypaw's excited mew. Her crisp light steps became quicker, whiskers brushing pasts bushes, her fur starting to rise as the wind tugged playfully at her black pelt. Violet audits flickered to observe her apprentice, a lump forming in the pit of her stomach as she gazed at the young femme, soon to be a true medicine cat.
"Now I must warn you....these particular two legs own a very vicious and troublesome dog, you would do well to stay hidden and by my side at all times."
The serious air was only held for a moment as a small smile broke across her lips; she did not want Ivorypaw to be scared about their mission, she wanted the apprentice to enjoy herself. |

"Ok," she mewed. She had heard from her mentor before about a twoleg with a dog. "I'll be careful." As she ran after her mentor she wondered how they are going to get past the dog and get to the herb.

Their pace slowed down to a slow trot, the fresh buzzing scents of unpicked herbs lacing themselves into her glands; large nests created massive shadows and loomed over the felines, white fences barricading intruders, keeping the house dwellers safe inside.
Maws parted, large shell shaped ears constantly on the move, keeping aware for any danger near by. The black feline snaked away from the safety of forest foliage and picked her way to a two leg fence, from their she lifted off of the ground and landed on elegant paws, keeping her balance on the barrier.
"Come on Ivorypaw...it's safe!"
Voice box rattled quietly from whiten, violet audits stealing a quick glance at the grounds below. |

Ivorypaw nodded and jumped onto the barrier behind her mentor. She looked down in the boxed area and saw that it was small. She had never seen an area this small before but she will see it many times in the future.
occ; writers block.

Nightwind tasted the air, sweet smells of catnip entering her glands, as well as the stale stench of two legs and dogs. Another scent however left the black femme puzzled, the new aroma to well hidden and unrecognizable; violet audits flicked round the area one last time before discarding the smell and leaping down to touch the cool dark grass below.
It had an odd touch, the feel different than from the forest grass back at home; each step paw flicked, adjusting to the spiky stalks as she made her way across the lawn. Crouching low and skittering quickly past the nest, the black medicine cat dove into the fresh brush of strong scented catnip.
Cranium poked out, maws filled with the herbs, crooked grin crawling across her dark lips as she called to her apprentice,
"Ivorypaw, it's safe to cross. Come help me gather another batch of catnip!"
The sharp hiss caught in her throat, bile rising along with it; that scent had come back, this time stronger, and only know she knew who it belonged to.
"Ivorypaw! Behind you-"
Nightwind's screech tore from her vocal cords, muscular lean body thrown from gravities pull as an unsheathed paw struck itself across her face, herbs slipping from grasp and scattering. Not one, but two tough angry looking kittypets had been the source of the stench, the smell marking their territory that was currently being invaded by clan cats. A large tortoiseshell hurled it's massive body weight into lift off, a skinny black and white tom raising a paw to slash Ivorypaw's flesh. |

Ivorypaw jumped back making sure that there was some distance between the tom and herself. She was glad that she had some battle training because then she would have a much harder time. At least she knows what to do when it comes time for her to fight for her life and try to help at the same timel. She then jumped onto the tom hoping to unbalance him will at the same time try to scratch him. She would never really be able to actually have done something like this but in this situation she had to. After jumping off of the tom she ran into the bushes to catch her breath and wait to see what happens next with the attacking tom.
