"Hm..." Prettie paused for a second, her eyes confused for a moment. how could a cat find out exactly where something is if she couldn't see it? then, as if an answer, she noticed that the scent wafted from the left side of her... it may not be accurate, but it was on that side for sure. "i don't think i'm right, but it smells stronger on that side," she whispered her answer, flickering her ear in embarrasment.

His lips spread as he grinned at her, "very good, now show me your hunting crouch" he instructed. His eyes gentle and soft.

Prettie blinked a couple times, searching in her mind of how she would do a "hunting crouch". she'd never seen any cat do that before, and she'd never tried. attempting to catch butterflies were definetly not the training that would help her with hunting real prey. she looked embarrassed as she bend down, almost as flat as a piece of fallen log.

Dia chuckled, amazingly she got it right, "okay try and catch it, lets see how good you are" he almost purred. He sank low, making sure he didn't scare off her prey, his tail however twitched soundlessly.

Prettie nodded lightly, and even though her blue-violet eyes were determined, there was still a part of her that was a little nervous. she was afraid that she would let Dia down, and that he wouldn't want to hang around her anymore. She was a fraid that he would find her useless and stupid, and ditch her to be all alone like she was before.
Taking a deep breath, the creamy shecat tried to concentrate on her prey. she could sense something inside of her, keeping her so very quiet, and on track. her claws instantly slid out, and her pads kept her paws silent. However, she seemed to pause just a second too late, and the mouse dashed out from its hiding place. Instantly reacting, Prettie gave chase, and even clawed the small creature's tail, but it still got away.
And, she couldn't do anything about it. she had no experience, and she had no demonstation. all she could do was look down at her paws, feeling the sense of disappointment and uselessness in her mind. she felt so hopeless that she could just feel it in her throat. that thick, hard lump that just wouldn't go away. she couldn't even lift up her eyes to Dia; she was too ashamed.

Dia chuckled as he watched the mouse scatter away, but he padded up to Prettie and brushed his tail along her flank. But he stopped when he noticed her ashamed expression and sighed.
"You did great for the first try, really good, in fact I didn't expect you to do that well" he whispered to her.
Why are you telling her that? You know you don't agree, she'd nothing but a house cat! Worthless, useless!
Shut up! When I want you to speak I'll ask you to!!
He closed his eyes trying to ignore the dark voice that chuckled in his head.

Prettie looked up when Dia whispered those comforting words into her ear. He seemed so close it made her heart pound in her chest. Her belly felt like it was in nervous knots when he brushed his tail against her flank. It took her whole amount of sanity to keep her breathing in put, though it was coming out a little shorter than before. She raised her head slowly, afraid to do something by accident due to how close he was. Her eyes barely caught Dia's eyes when he suddenly closed them.
"Dia? What's wrong?" she asked, alarmed and afraid about the look of almost-pain on Dia's face.

Hearing her voice so close made him snap his eyes open, darkness still lingered there but he was quick to get rid of it.
"Nothings wrong, so would you like to try again? I can demonstrate to you if you like?" His voice was strained but he managed a grin.
With out waiting for her answer he crouched down, scenting the air quickly before stalking forward pausing only to flick his ears and then he pounced disappearing into a bush.
There was a small squeal and then silence.
Dia emerged from the bushes a mouse hanging limply in his jaws. He dropped it at her paws, grinning.
"Have some with me," he meowed crouching down and taking a bite.

Prettie blinked. "Wow that was fast!" she meowed, impressed. Everything seemed so wonderful with Dia around that she didn't even notice how strained the rogue seemed to be.
When he offered her some of his catch, she nodded with excitement; she hadn't had freshkill for a long long time, since she was still only 7 moons old! The warm scent of mouse wafted to her nose, and just then did she notice how hungry she was.
She croushed down gingerly beside Dia, and took a bite after he did. Her soft cream fur gently brushed against his. She purred with delight at how the mouse tasted; it sure beat the food that her owner fed her!

Dia's eyes never left her form and he softened as her fur brushed over his. It was then that curiosity rushed over him she was a house cat. A human pet, but why?
"So, Tie, why do you choose to live with the humans? Why do you not strike out on your own?"
He glanced away when he felt his eyes darken, the dark voice chuckling evilly in his mind.
Curiosity killed the cat!

OOC: sorry for taking so long to reply! D=
IC: Tie? there was that name again... what does it mean? Prettie still didn't know how Dia came to have given her that special name. and just as his curiousity was about her way of living, her curiousity was all directed on him.
"Well, I... even though I've always been impressed by forest cats and loved how I could just run without a care, but... I've never had the courage and heart to leave my owner. I know that she would be very hurt, especially since... " She closed her eyes in pain of the memory for a moment, then opened them again to reveal the tears forming in her blue-violet eyes. "Since Rascal disappeared."
Rascal was the other house cat who lived with her before. When she was still the age of an apprentice, he met this beautiful Skyclan she-cat, and one day, he just left. Left without a goodbye. That was why Prettie got lost in the forest; she went looking for him after she saw the way Miranda, her owner, looked for him that night.
"I just don't want to see her go through that pain of losing me like the way she had to endure through back then." She shook her head, hoping to clear that memory. Then her eyes returned to Dia with her own curiosity. "I was wondering, why did you call me Tie all this time?"

Dia listened thoughtfully as she answered, the pain laced his her voice made him turn toward her. He tilted his head, pain? She felt pain, the thought made his own chest squeeze. He didn't not truly understand her pain but he nodded, perusing his lips together. There was nothing he could say, the pain was there and it was real. Nothing could take emotional pain away.
He sat up running a paw over his face, to clean his whiskers and maw. How she thought she didn't have the courage or heart to leave her owner. He snorted.
"I call you Tie because your name is Prettie, it sounds like pretty. So I decided to call you Tie.." he meowed, pausing he tilted his head. "You have courage Tie, more so then you think. And as for heart.."
He paused flickering his tail over her heart, "something tells me you owner would be fine if she somehow knew you were happy. If there was a way.." he finished getting to his paws. "Shall we try hunting once more?"

Prettie took a short breath and shook her head to clear away those memories. Back to reality.
"Ok, let's go," she meowed, attempting to keep her voice back to normal, and nodded. Her eyes gained their cheerful shine back, and her claws unsheathed; she was excited to give hunting another try.

OOC: this post will probably suck cause my mind hurts, but i've let it go unanswered for to long, sorry about that
Dia nodded, turning to stroll deeper into the woods, "tell me when you smell prey and then go after it" he meowed. His mind not really fully back to reality.

After a moment, a delicious scent wafted to Prettie's nose. There was a smell of feathers and warmth... and the pulse of heartbeats.
"A bird..." she whispered, excitement in her voice. She was hoping for Dia to tell her what to do, but he seemed... elsewhere.
She decided to try herself. Crouching low and walking as softly as possible, she moved forward and pounced, though not knowing how to pin down or kill the bird. The finch let out a lout screech and she yelped in surprise, rolling into a frenzy of claws and feathers.

Snapping out of his mind when the sharp call of the flinch invaded his ears, Dia leaped forward into the rolling ball of fur and feathers quickly taking out the bird before he turned to Tie with a ridiculous expression.
"Are you okay?" he asked, his sides heaving, but not from the hunt, for another reason entirely. And soon that reason took over and he feel to his side bursting into tears.

IC: Prettie tried to catch her breath, then quickly nodded at Dia's question. "Yeah yeah I'm fine...." Then she noticed. "Um... are YOU ok?!" she asked quickly getting up and going to his side.

Shaking with mirth the tom rolled over, his sides aching. Never had he been so amused by the sight of another cat hunting. The whole situation was laughable really, but...
Shacking his head, he struggled to regain control and to answer her question. "No.. no I'm fine..."
Shuddering he wiped the grin off his muzzle, "I'm fine, sorry, It's just that.... uhh.."
What was he supposed to tell her, she was a funny looking hunter? No, no. "I was just thinking about my younger brother and something he used to do as a kit," he lied smoothly. So if I interrupted her hunt."
OOC: Thats okay ^^ I've been absent for awhile
