Fishing Can't be That Hard, Can It?

[Cinder]

ooc- The title was too long to fit this too, so: Private for Cinder, Crystal, Lilly, and maybe Kiri.

Stormpaw was hunting along the riverbank, bored out of her mind. It's amazing how tedious running after voles gets. ARGHHH!
A flash of silver caught her eye, and the hyperactive apprentice scurried over to the edge of the river. Fish were swimming lazily around, blowing bubbles.
Stormpaw frowned. How do they get air under there? Wouldn't they drown? She twitched her whiskers. Hee hee. Fish are weird!
The apprentice's blue eyes grew thoughtful. Hey, maybe I could catch a few! It's gotta be easier than stalking stupid rabbits.

Dewpaw saw Stormpaw loooking by a stream. someone's here for me to make fun-um, have fun with. Dewpaw scrambled to Stormpaw.
"Hey Stormpaw!" she yowled. ""Wait up!" Clumisily she skidded to a halt by the river and looked down at the swishy water. Fish darted everywhere.
"Do you know how to catch fish?"

[Cinder]

Stormpaw blinked as Dewpaw raced up to her and asked if she could catch fish. "Uh... well... no. I don't."
She licked a paw absentmindedly, staring down at the water. "It can't be that hard, though. Just look at them. Swimming around like their minds are absolutely blank." The grey apprentice purred.
A sudden thought struck her. "Hey, we should try to catch some. It'll be easier than stalking voles all day." She grinned at the other apprentice. "And the warriors will be really impressed with us!"

[shadow=red,left,300][glow=red,2,300]Dewpaw admired Stormpaw's brains.
"Sure! What a great idea!" Dewpaw immediately settled herself in front of the river, staring at the water. Her shadow fell over the river water, and the fish went swam away from her.
"Oh,foxdung!" Dewpaw glared at the fish, which swam away. She stepped back.
'You try." she told Stormpaw, half grudgingly. She turned to look at Stormpaw.[/glow][/shadow]

[Cinder]

Stormpaw blinked, not expecting to be put on the spot. "Uhhh... Okay."
She sat down at the edge of the bank, paw poised. The grey apprentice had noticed what Dewpaw had done, and carefully avoided casting a shadow on the water.
Her paw shot out, and a silver fish flashed through the air. But the apprentice hadn't flung it properly, and the fish landed with a splash in the center of the river.
Stormpw's ears burned with shame, but she purred, hoping that Dewpaw wouldn't think she was too stupid.
"Oops."

[♫ [.nighty.]]

[glow=red,2,300]Dewpaw tried not to laugh.
"Better then me." she said, trying not to giggle. This time, she tried, not letting her shadow fall. Dewpaw's paw flashed out, and a bright silver fish landed ob her head, and flopped onto Stormpaws.
''Sorry!'' Dewpaw mewed, giggling faintly.[/glow]

OOC: it say I could join so her I'm

Shadowjumper saw two appertince trying to fish. Her mentor Silverfish taught the clan how to fish.''Want help? Shadowjumper purred to Stormpaw and then Dewpaw. She sat in the water. Casting her shadow on the oppertise bank. Her paws stood ready in the air waiting to strike. With a fast flick Shadowjumper caught a sliver fish and tossed it of her claws and on too the EmberClan riverbank. ''What me to show you? She asked again tossing dirt over the fish.
Does Dewpaw have a mentor?

[shadow=red,left,300]

[glow=red,2,300]ooc: yeah, cinnamonstreak.

Dewpaw watched in amazement.
"Awesome! Show me how!" Pattering her paws over the ground, Dewpaw plunged accidentally into the river and bobbed heer head out.
"Sorry!" she mewed again.[/glow]

[Cinder]

Stormpaw was laughing hysterically at Dewpaw's antics. Still chortling, she reached for another fish, but missed it entirely.
The fish swam away quickly, but it had given the mischevious apprentice an idea. She crouched on the bank, tail flicking back and forth, as if she were about to leap on a mouse.
A fish came closer, and Stormpaw leaped, splashing into the water. She felt the slimy scales under her paws for a second, and then the fish escaped. Darn it!!!
The grey apprentice tried to swim, and marveled at how hard it was to move her paws. Her fur was waterlogged and very heavy...

ooc; shot darn it fiddle sticks
Shadowjumper let out a loud purr as Stormpaw fell.p Dewpaw watch me closely Shadowjumper moewd and she stood in the water casting her shadow again for on the bank. Her paw high in the air waiting to strike she waited for a while. Then with a flash see caught the silver fish.''See you try

[♫ [.nighty.]]

Dewpaw sighed. harder than I thought. Dewpaw admitted to herself, and propelled herself hrough t he water, shaking hr fur when she reached shore.
"Aack!" she mewed, shooting out her paw again. A silvery sfish landed out and Dewpaw placed a paw on it, trying to kill it. Again it escaped.

[Cinder]

Stormpaw giggled at Dewpaw, and water splashed into her mouth. She vanished underwater with a great deal of splashing, flailing her paws as the water closed over her head. Summoning all her strength, she pushed off the bottom of the river, desperately trying to reach the surface of the water.
Her small grey head appeared above the dark water for an instant and she gasped for breath. "Help- aglp." She sank again, blue eyes wide with terror.

Frostflash was hunting near the river, and at first dismissed the splashes as a few cats playing. But they persisted, louder than ever, and the grey warrior thought she head a cry for help mixed in.
Her fur bristled. Someone is in trouble! Ignoring the fat thrush perched not a yard away, she raced towards the river.

Shadowjumper was taking by surprised by Strompaw's help. She rushed to help Strompaw but couldn't. SHe was in the deep and fast part of the river in fear of her kits Shadowjumper let out a yowl for help. ''Help she is drowing'' She yowled when she saw Frostflash.

[Cinder]

Shadowjumper's words seared Frostflash's ears. She could barely see the apprentice's ears under the dark water. The grey warrior paused at the bank, shuddering as she looked out over the swiftly flowing river. I'm not a good swimmer...
But she knew that she had to try. Shadowjumper couldn't risk injuring her unborn kits, and Dewpaw was too close to Stormpaw's size to be able to pull her out of the water.
Without further hesitation, Frostflash jumped into the river and began to swim towards the drowning apprentice.

Stormpaw clamped her jaws tightly closed, trying not to let the precious air escape. Her hind paws dragged along the rough stones as the current carried her onwards. Her fur swayed like weeds.
Suddenly her barely-healed shoulder struck a rock, and she gave a soundless howl. She snapped her jaws closed immediately, horrified.
But the apprentice was to late. Silver bubbles were drifting towards the surface: the last of her air. Her lungs burned fiercely, and black spots began to swim in front of her eyes...

Shadowjumper was on the bank to the river her fur was standing on ends. She looked a ways down the river when she saw a large grey stone. ''Swim over to the Stone Frostflash and we'll try to grab Strompaw there.'' She yowled with all her might she was racing down the river bank.
