Dawnkit awoke again to see the dark night sky. She blinked so that everything wasn't has blurry. She quietly and slowly got up without disturbing Nightkit or Tawnytail and crept out of the nursery. Outside, it was cool and quiet, just how Dawnkit liked it. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, something moved. Dawnkit swung her head around only to see a small mouse crawling along the bushes. Dawnkit got down into a hunter's crouch and silently stalked the mouse. The mouse paused for a second when it found a small nut. Dawnkit put all her weight on her haunches, doing exactly what the apprentices had taught her, and leaped into the air. The mouse twitched it's pink nose and scampered into the forest, leaving Dawnkit sitting there claws ,out stretched. Dawnkit sat up and cursed the mouse silently. Suddenly, she heard a cat meow. "Bad luck." Dawnkit spun around and saw a gray shape before her. It was a cat but Dawnkit had no idea who he was. "Your probably wondering who I am." said the cat. Dawnkit nodded slowly and cautiosly. The gray tom purred. "I am Mistfur, medicine cat of Fireclan and you are......?"
"Dawnkit."
"Well nice to meet you Dawnkit. I hope we get along just fine." said Mistfur.
Dawnkit nodded respectfully.
"Now," Mistfur began, what are you doing out so late?" Dawnkit looked at her paws.
"I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep so I came outside. I saw that mouse and tried to catch. It...... ran away." Mistfur purred again.
"You'll learn how to hunt soon enough. For now, stick with mossballs."
Dawnkit purred. She liked this tom cat. He was friendly and funny.
Mistfur cleared his throat.
"You should be getting to bed now." He mewed.
Dawnkit purred and padded back to the nursery and layed down. She shut her eyes and sleep soon took over her. That night she dreamed of catching her first prey with Mistfur, with Tawnytail and Mudfoot watching close behind, pride swelling in their eyes.
