Sandpool was collecting Marigold and Catnip. The medicine cat needed to get her supplies ready before Leaf-bare came. She sniffed the air. Marigold was near here. Sandpool could tell by the smell that it was very close to her. She padded over to the clump of Marigold . She nipped a few petals a few off of the Marigold plant. Sandpool held them in her mouth and padded over to the Catnip. Sandpool spat out the petals of Marigold. She nipped a few Catnip leaves off of the Catnip plants. The medicine cat padded over to a stone, and scratched a few peices of moss of. She carried the moss over to the herbs and wraped the moss around the freshly collected herbs. She picked up the moss and made her way back to camp.

(Is this right) At this Pearlkit bolted upright. She was leaving camp? To gather herbs? With Sandpool? "Yayayayayay!" She shreiked, then dashed out of the den, breathing in the sweet, icy cold air. "Come on slow poke!" she taunted at Sandpool, while she skipped around. She coughed quietly, before Sandpool could notice. She saw her fluffy tail waving about, and began to chase it. When Sandpool came out of her den she was holding her tail in her mouth, with a smug grin on her face. She dropped it, then waved it wildly, "Come on lets go!" she mewed, then raced out of camp.
A few moments later they were standing on the border between StreamClan and FireClan. Pearlkit shivered as she watched the swift flowing river. She was a strong swimmer, like all StreamClan cats, but the river was deeper than most and the curents were speedy. She turned away and scented the air. She knew that Catmint was one of the ones that they needed. She couldn't smell the sweet scent near, but the smell of a different herb came to her. She sniffed, following the scent trail. Tansy! She darted behind a tree, where a fox leangth of tansy grey abundently. She nipped off a few stalks, and poaked her head to the other side to show Sandpool. "Itf Tawnsee." she squeaked, her mew muffled and thrarted by the tansy.

Sandpool felt a feeling of liking for the small white kit. She padded behind Pearlkit. She gave a snort of amuzment thn raced ahead of her. "Slowpoke yourself." She retorted. Sandpool made sure though that Pearlkit was in sight, for she did not wat to go looking for kits today. "Calm down for a moment!" Sandpool meowd,"The herbs are not going anywhere. Ya know!" Sandpool wanted to go slower and find the herbs easier and fast. She droppd her pace into a walk. The calico colored medicine cat padded over to a bush of Jupiter berries. She nipped a few off, but before she had the chance to go anywhere she heard Pearlkit yell something.
Sandpool looked up at Pearlkit who said she had found Tansy. The calico colored medince cat padded over to Pearlkit she sniffed the herb and realized Pearlkit was right. "Good job Pearlkit! You have a good eye for herbs!"Sandpool meowed approvingly. Her amber eyes gleamed with happiness. Once Pearlkit was apprinticed, she would learn very easily. Sandpool looked warmly at Pearlkit. "I mostly don't do this but would you like me to show you how to hunt? If you catch something you might could give it to the elders for a story."Sandpool meowed to Pearlkit.

Pearlkit dropped the tansy next to Sandpool's juniper so she could respond without having to speak around the tansy. "Oh!" she exclaimed. "Hunting? Sure..." her mew trailed off. For some odd reason, she was reluctent to stop looking for the wonderous herbs. Somehow, seeing and feeling what they could do made her respect them more. She shook her head. That was silly. "Of corse I want to hunt!" she told herself out loud feircly. "Let's go!" she squealed, sniffing the air for anything besides the welcoming herbs.

"Okay follow me to the Stream. Leave the herbs here. We will get them in a moment." Sandpool meowed. She walked to the Stream. The caliico colored medicine cat's amber eyes looked at Pearlkit. "Okay now what you do is get on the Stream's edge. Next you stand close, but where your shadow doesn't fall in the water. When you see a fish, you scoop it out with your paws. Then give it a killing bite, and that is how you do it. But before you you do it watch me do it." Sandpool meowed.
Sandpool padded over to the water's edge. But she did not let her shadow fall in the water's edge. She waited for a fish to get close, with a swift movement, she scooped out a fish. The calico colored medicine cat killed it with a quick bite. Sandpool put it at behind her. "And that is how you do it. Now you try! But be carefull to not fall in." Sandpool meowed encouragely.

Pearlkit got to a low part on the edge of the Stream. The water tickled her toes. She watched as the glittering blue water swirrled, so mystical. A flash of silver caught her eye just above. She flashed out her paw, scooping a small fish into the air. It flopped around by the edge, but before it could escape, she killed it with a sharp bite. She let out a purr of joy, she had caught a fish! She dragged it up next to Sandpool's, which was bigger by a mouse leangth.
"Thank's Sandpool." she meowed. "I've had a really great time being with you." She wondered if she should catch more, but then remembered that they were medecien cats, not warriors. She opened her mouth, scenting for herbs. But instead of the smell of herbs, she caught the scent of a horible creature. "Sandpool!" she gasped. "What is it? What's that smell?"
(Fox)

Sandpool's amber eyes glittered as Pearlkit caught her a fish. "Good Job! Even Medicine Cats need to know how to hunt for there clan!" Sandpool meowed warmly. She was so proud of Pearlkit. The calico medicine cat was very pround of her that she meowed, " Eat that fish! We can catch another later for the clan." Sandpool crouched down and took a bite of her fish. She chewed, and swallowed. In a few swift bites, she had finicshed her fish, and Pearlkit had finished hers as well. Sandpool knew that Pearlkit would make a great apprintice.
Sandpool had been comforted by the sounds of the River, washing the ground and taking it into the small waves. The calico medicine cat heard the small white kit ask her what the strange scent was. She opened her mouth to taste the air. Fox! Sandpool dashed over to Pearlkit. The calico medicine cat stood infront of her, and hissed. "Up the tree now!" Sandpool didn't wait for Pearlkit to reply.
Sandpool grabbed Pearlkit by her scruff and raced over to the tree. She clawed her way up to the strongest branch. The calico medicine cat knew that if they were still down there, chances were they would be attacked. Sandpool put the small kit down on the branch. She looked at the small white kit. "That scent was fox. They are very dangorous! The evil things can kill a cat as big as m in a few heartbeats. Take a good look and remember that scent, for we must be carefull. I don't know how we will get back to camp without that thing-"Sandpool flicked her tail to the fox." following our scent to camp." Sandpool meowed.

Pearlkit nibbled her catch, savoring each bite. Her gaze wandered to the river. It was so magnificent! The way the water swirled, rushing to an unknown destination with such grace. "Someday," she announced. "I'll find out where the river goes. All the rivers." Her mew was laced with determination. She finished her fish with a gulp, and began to burry the remains.
But no sooner than she had scrapped the ground had Sandpool, as gently as she could, jerked her up by her scruff and climbed the nearest tree. A fox? she thought puzzled. "What's a -" she began, but clamped her mouth shut at Sandpool's fierce gaze. Her eyes darted downward, and spotted something that made her fur stand up straight.
A creature that carried the vile scent that she had scented was sniffing hopefully at their remaining prey. It gnawed at some of it, licking the scraps up. It had a russet coloured fur, that hung loosely on its scrawny body. Its bushy tail whipped the air, knocking a few leaves down. Its sharp teeth glinted dangerously in the twilight. And the muzzle! It was long and narrow, contrasting greatly with the rest of it, which looked like a cat and dog combined. She could tell it hadn't eaten in a long time, from the way its ribs shown clearly. "Thats a fox?" she hissed quietly in disbelief.

Sandpool looked at Pearlkit. "Yes that is a Fox and a hungry one I expect.Stay here while I try to chase it off." Sandpool crept over to the edge a a branch. She put her weight in her hunches. Sandpool hoped to StarClan that she remembered her Warrior training before turning into a medicine cat. The claico cat jumped off of the branch hissing. Sandpool dug her claws into the fox's back and tried to put a deep gash in the fox's back she took one of her paws off of it's back. StarClan forgive me! Sandpool silantly begged. But before she could get the killing blow the fox knock her off.
Sandpool screeched in fury as she was knocked off. The calico cat stood up, she unsheathed her claws and jumped on its back again. She unsheathed her claws and sliced then deep into the Fox's throut, and jumped back. Sandpool raceed up the tree next to Pearlkit and watched the poor animal die. She looked at the blood spilling from it's throat. The medicine cat sighed sadly. She looked at Pearlkit. The calico cat lookedat Pearlkit, hoping that she would not be horrifed.
"Dear Pearlkit. Don't blame me. The fox could have killed me and you both if I hadn't ended it's life. I am sorry though that it had to end like that though. At least it won't suffer from hunger now." She hung her head. Sandpool looked at the fox again. It was dead now. "Stay here the least I can do for it is bury it." She jumped down from the tree, and padded over to the dead fox. Sandpool dug a hole deep enough to buy the animal. She dragged the fox into the whole and patted the soil down tight.

((I finished once then ascendantly closed out, so I forgot to post))
Pearlkit jumped down from the tree. The fox was dead, they were safe. She watched as Sandpool began to dig, then copied. Sandpool dragged the fox into the hole, and buried it. She stared at the spot where the fox lay, and felt a pang of sadness. "Do not worry Sandpool." she mewed, a bit louder than she had to.
"I don't blame you. It must be in a better place, where there is no hunger or pain." Foxes didn't go to StarClan, she wondered where they went. They weren't bad, or evil, they were survives like cats. She turned and padded over to the herbs, which were untouched.
She picked up her bundle of Tansy, then turned to Sandpool. "An E O Ack Oo Amp?" she asked. (Can we go back to camp?) She stared hopefully at Sandpool, her eyes bright. She twitched her ear. Suddenly she saw Sandpool's wounds. "Ar oo o k?" she mewed. (Are you o.k.?)
