"CometPaw! Wake up, for AbyssClan's sake!" a hiss sounded from outside the Apprentices' Den. "We are already late with your training because of DeathStroke. Rest another time," the annoyed voice continued.
MothPaw, who had been sleeping peacefully, growled. "I pity you, CometPaw. Of all warriors to mentor you, you just had to fall on HiddenGlade!" she muttered with a yawn, opening her grayish brown eyes, searching for her brother.

CometPaw growled in frustration. He quickly shook the moss out of his pelt, grumbled a few words about getting HiddenGlade as his mentor before he pushed out of the apprentices' den.

HiddenGlade was waiting, her ears flatten in impatience. "Finally! You're too use to the easy life a kit has."
She turned toward the exit without looking back to see if her apprentice was following. "I guess you know already the territory. All the liberty apprentices have these days..." she sighed. "I thought about showing you how to fight. Unless you prefer hunting, though I'd be surprised. Having such a filthy murderer as father..." the dark brown tabby she-cat meowed on and on. She blinked her deep blue eyes when she exited camp, finally turning to face CometPaw.

" Fighting sounds good " CometPaw muttered irritably as he followed his mentor through the woods.

"Good! Can't you walk faster?" she asked with the same irritated voice.
"We'll go to the Clover Heaven. You could practice the sneaking up tactic and it's soft, so you little kit won't get hurt too much," HiddenGlade decided. She prickled her ears when a squirrel leaped from branch to branch. "I hope you didn't ate much before we left. You might barf up your breakfast if you did. That once happened to your mother. She ate just before a cat attacked her, and because she had to move so much, her lunch went out. At least that distracted the attacker, and she could finish him off. Guess who the attacker was?"

CometPaw sped up a bit. " I didn't eat. I was sleeping, remember? Who was the attacker? " He asked bored.

"I remember. But you could of had faked. That would of had been smart. And you really can't guess? It was your father, of course!"
They were almost there... The morning light made the clovers seem like they glowed.

" Oh. " He muttered keeping his eyes straight in front of him.

Finally she stopped, the clovers reaching to her shoulder, even though she was quite tall.
"Now. Let's see if you have the clumsiness of your mother, or the sneaky ability of your father."
And with those words, she disappeared from sight, somewhere under the clovers... stalking...

CometPaw stood very still looking at his surroundings in a quick glance. The tree. He smiled to himself as he silently climbed up it and looked through the leaves. Sure enough he saw where the clovers waved when HiddenGlade walked through them. When she passed the tree CometPaw landed lightly and silently behind her. He jumped on her back with a huge smile.

HiddenGlade was ready, and twisted her slender body to free herself, her back paws sheathed to not hurt the apprentice.
"Surprising. But you have to be faster. I had time to realize how the clovers went down a little when you leaped behind me. You're too much like your father: you take pleasure of how your victim has no idea of what's comming. Take pleasure after the attack, not before. That's how some of VampireBat's victims escaped, like... ah who was it already?... I think it was EmeraldLeaf. A gypsy SnowFlake heard her scream and saved her..." She kept talking, describing everything...

" Alright, I got it " CometPaw meowed rolling his eyes.

She nodded. "Your turn. Disappear, and catch me by surprise. I'll tell you the smallest mistake. Perfection is needed when you play assassin."

" When am I going to be an assassin again? " He asked curiously

"When your father believes you are ready," HiddenGlade mewed matter-of-factly.

CometPaw shrugged figuring that was the best answer he was going to get. He stalked quietly off so he could begin trying to sneak up on HiddenGlade.

HiddenGlade padded around the borders of the Clover Heaven, making it harder for CometPaw by keep moving. Her sense were alert, trying to feel any shift in the wind or the clovers, to hear any paw-steps or a cracking twig.
