Bunnypaw had his face scrunched up in concentration as he held his position still for his mentor’s inspection for a moment longer than necessary. His tongue was poking slightly out of his mouth and he quickly righted himself into a normal stance. His face broke into a surprised smile, his eyes wide with astonishment. The apprentice hadn’t expected to have gotten it perfect, but Sorrelsong’s approval quickly assured the tom that he had. A wave of pride washed over Bunnypaw and he couldn’t help but blink in surprise at the sensation. It was an odd feeling, being proud of himself, and one he wasn’t used to. Already he was smiling more and felt lighter on his paws.
Bunnypaw glanced around as his mentor spoke, as if searching for any prey he could try his new crouching move on. He was still a bit rusty at actually catching something, but Sorrelsong seemed content with his crouch and that was good enough for the apprentice. Bunnypaw found himself nodding in agreement with the tom’s assessment on there not being much prey around, though he wasn’t actually sure if that was right. Bunnypaw found himself trailing closely after Sorrelsong at the tom made his way towards a nearby tree.
Don’t be afraid. Bunnypaw repeated in his mind, but his thoughts quickly swirled around the words. Telling the tom not to be afraid was like telling him not to breathe. It was inherent. He didn’t have to think about the fear for it to exist; always lurking within the apprentice’s mind. Bunnypaw tried to push past it and reared back on his hundlegs and placed his front paws on the tree in front of them. He craned his neck up at the tree, eyes widening at the sheer height of it. Trepidation halted Bunnypaw’s movements and the tom was left with his front paws pressed firmly against the rough bark. His claws sunk into the wood on their own accord as nervousness engulfed the tom once again. His earlier feelings of success washed away almost immediately and the apprentice was left with uncertainty.
“What if I can’t get down?” Bunnypaw’s voice was small and wavered slightly. The tom kept his gaze on the branches above, feeling a bit dizzy at the sight. He had a pawful of other questions running through his mind, but he was only able to voice just one. What if I fall? What if I get hurt? What if I can’t do it? What if I disappoint you?
