hunting

[Mintheart]

Mintheart treaded the grass carefully; muscles coiled to spring, her belly barely touching the ground as she observed her victim; a rather plump mouse.
Her large green eyes glittered as she focused all her energy on one thing: waiting. Waiting for the right moment.

[Autumnstar]

"hello Mintheart how is it" Autumnstar purred.

[Lightpaw]

Lightpaw padded towards the hunting grounds. The clan needed food and everybody was trying to find some. Lightpaw was determined to catch a plentiful amount of food before returning to the camp.

[Autumnstar]

"Lightpaw there you are! I was going to tell that today is a training session, haven't you been told by your fellow Denmates?" Autumnstar purred "Well, I'll meet you at the training hollow, we'll hunt today our fresh-kill pile is running low!" Autumnstar padded lightly towards the training hollow. [Post in training, kay?Another thread]

[Mintheart]

Mintheart had just been about to pounce, but then Autumnstar and Lightpaw came along and scared her prey off.
"Mouse dung!" she cursed, getting up. "Oh well." She turned to the two. "Yes, I think that's good. Want to come along, Lightpaw?"

[Lightpaw]

"Of course!" Exclaimed Lightpaw happily. He was very excited to hunt with not only the leader of the clan but also the deputy.

[Autumnstar]

"Mintheart, may I hunt with you, our fresh-kill pile is indeed running low, we better hurry" Autumnstar purred as she tasted an awkward chaffinch odor the smell of CROWFOOD. "I smell a piece of dead chaffinch, it is close too, who would leave a dead piece of Fresh-kill here? Prey is scarce enough!" cried Autumnstar as she padded over to Mintheart "Forget about that, let's just get on with hunting!" she growled frustrated by the anonymous Fresh-kill- waster.

[Mintheart]

Mintheart nodded. "Yes, that'll be fine." She padded after the leader, flicking her tail briefly.

[Autumnstar]

As Autumnstar paced forward the odor of Crow-food was much closer now. Autumnstar spotted a big piece of chaffinch with bugs on it "What cat would waste prey like that!" cried Autumnstar.

[Mintheart]

"It's probably rotted over time," Mintheart meowed; although privately, she agreed with her leader.
Suddenly, her nose twitched as she detected the smell of a rabbit. She sprang, claws piercing into the flesh of a particularly fat rabbit that had been too slow to bound away.
"One down!" she mewed gleefully, before teasing the dead animal out from her claws and picking up the plump prey in her jaws. This will be a good addition to the fresh-kill pile.

[Autumnstar]

"Wow! Mintheart that was impressive, my turn NOW!!" Autumnstar spotted a plump furry vole, she moved onto a hunter's crouch and stalked after it waiting for the right time to leap, before long the vole turned, at the exact moment Autumnstar sprang into the air rushing down on the vole Autumnstar clawed it and poked it dead "That should do" Autumnstar purred to herself humbly.

[Lightpaw]

After seeing the two most powerfulest cats in the clan hunt, Lightpaw was scared he might embarass himself by failing his catch. So he slowly stalked the mouse he just saw. He waited until he was super close up to it before leaping straight at the prey. He managed to kill it, but his catch was nothing compared to the bigger prey the two other cats caught.

[Autumnstar]

"Very Good, Lightpaw, you are improving!" Autumnstar purred with delight.

[Earthgaze]

I walked out between a clump of ferns. "Hello." I said dully. "I thought I was going to make the fresh-kill pile just some feathers and fur if I let the kits eat it, two kits already ate about half of the pile. So, I'm hunting."

[Mintheart]

"Excellent work, Lightpaw," Mintheart meowed after having put her prey down, clearly pleased.
Then she saw Earthgaze. "Oh, hello Earthgaze. You don't need to hunt; I think we have enough prey for today. We'll see if we can go hunting again later, depending on the Clan's appetite." She chuckled a little.
