Birchkit crouched in anticipation. His quarry shook at him, as if taunting him. He bared his teeth in a low growl, stalking up to it. It suddenly started to move away. Birchkit hissed in surprise, then ran and pounced on it!

"Birchkit!" exclaimed Squirrelflight as the kit jumped on the end of the bramble she was dragging. Alright then. She thought. Here's something for you.

Birchkit struggled to retain hold on the enemy. He constantly lost his grip, but it would only pull away slightly, taunting him, then he would jump on it. This enemy would be defeated!

Squirrelflight playfully tugged on the end of the bramble as Birchkit kept trying to catch it. Dustpelt and Ferncloud watched them in amusement.

Birchkit growled at it, his eyes glinting, his hind paws planted firmly in the ground. He shook his head fiercely, but it wouldn't give. He had to think of something!

Finally, Birchkit wandered away to watch the clan work on the new camp. Squirrelflight sighed, and then continued dragging the bramble.

Ha! It worked! Birchkit thought. His prey sauntered away, thinking it had won the battle. Now it had no way of knowing what was about to happen!

Birchkit once again stalked up…

"Birchkit!" said Dustpelt, as he the young cat pounced on the tendril he was dragging. Squirrelflight was already elsewhere. "You're more trouble than a fox in a fit!"

This time Birchkit new he had won. Now it would never mess with him again!
