Laurelstar trains Frostpaw.

Laurelstar leaped neatly over his snowy white apprentice as he charged at him, landing safely behind Frostpaw.
The apprentice whipped around almost immediately and flung himself at his leader, claws sheathed but teeth bared in a snarl of frustration. Laurelstar tried to jump out of the way but Frostpaw caught him by the leg and clambered up onto his back. The small black tom rolled over, knocking the breat out of Frostpaw [who let go], and got back to his feet.
"Not bad at all!" Laurelstar purred, surprised. "Quick-thinking is definitely one of your strengths, keep it up!"
And without warning Laurelstar was on top of him. Frostpaw was still laying on his side, but when his mentor jumped he rolled onto his back and kicked upwards, throwing him about two tail lengths away. Laurelstar was impressed at how he was picking up these fighting techniques so easily.

Silentstep sat at the edge of the clearing with her new apprentice and watched as Laurelstar and Frostpaw trained. She leaned over and whispered "I bet you could beat your brother."
As she saw an oppertunity to interupt. Padding up to Laurelstar, she rubbed up against his side and purred "Mind if we join in?"

[Ashley[l0ckd0wn]]

"Not at all!" Laurelstar purred. "You should see Frostpaw fight, it comes so naturally to him!"
Spiritpaw knew this already, of course. The past moon in the nursery had been difficult, all three of them had become restless, dying to become apprentices; especially Frostpaw.
He didn't much like the idea of facing his brother, but if that's what his mentor wanted, he'd give it his best shot.
Frostpaw narrowed his eyes. Spiritpaw could overpower him if he were quick enough, for he was almost twice his size. Yet Frostpaw didn't worry too much, he alwayshad been more skilled in this area.

Sitting down beside her mate, she meowed "Well, get on with it then! Let's see what you've got!"

Frostpaw lunged for his brother as soon as Silentstep gave the command, but Spiritpaw dodged to the side. Again, Frostpaw turned right back around. He charged again but Spiritpaw leapt over him. Frostpaw bunched his hind muscles and sprang right into Spiritpaw's belly, knocking the air out of him and forcing himbackwards.
Spiritpaw landed on his side with Frostpaw hanging on. Thinking quickly, he got a hold on Frostpaw's shoulders with his front paws and held him, thought he struggled madly.

"Well done, well done!" Laurelstar purred, impressed at both apprentices. "See what I mean, Silentstep?"

[~:.Silent.Step.:~]

S I L E N T S T E P
Silent step wrapped her tail around Laurelstar's body, she was feeling especially affectionate. "Yes, I do. I think Frostpaw is going to be a great warrior, his battle skills are coming around so fast, already." She watched as they continued to fight. "And Spiritpaw is really fast, he'll be a great hunter, I'm sure."

[Ashley[l0ckd0wn]]

"You'd think," Laurelstar meowed, intrigued, "That it would be the other way around, considering Spiritpaw is so much bigger! But I mean look at that, Frostpaw is BEASTING him! [lol!]"
He purred with delight at having his mate here to watch their apprentices making so much progress.

[~:.Silent.Step.:~]

"Yes, you would." she said, amusement sounding from her voice. "How about we show them how some real warriors do it?" she meowed mischeviously. Hmm... This could be interesting...

[Ashley[l0ckd0wn]]

"Oh?" Laurelstar meowed. "Is that a challenge?"
Spiritpaw and Frostpaw, noticing that their mentors weren't even watching anymore, had stopped attacking eachother and were know looking at the leader and deputy with confused looks on their faces.
"Would you two like to see how true warriors fight?" Laurelstar asked.
The two apprentices looked excited. "YES!" they meowed at the same time.

[~:.Silent.Step.:~]

S I L E N T S T E P
Silentstep stretched her front limbs as she waved her tail in the air with a hinting smile. At the sound of the apprentices responces, she meowed "Good, now watch and learn."

[Ashley[l0ckd0wn]]

Laurelstar dropped down into a crouch and charged, turning sharply to the side when he was right in front of Silentstep and lashing at her with sheathed claws.

[~:.Silent.Step.:~]

S I L E N T S T E P
Silentstep lept un onto her hing legs and pushed with all her force, knocking Laurelstar over. Her goal was to pin him, and make it look easy. Unfortuneatly, this was not the case. While the leader was small for being full grown, he had muscles like a mountain lion. She tried to gain control, but he was far superior in strength than she was. She pushed off of him and lept back, ready for a speedy attack.

[Ashley[l0ckd0wn]]

Laurelstar leapt to his paws and ran right at her, once again turning sharply to the side to throw her off.
