A ginger she-cat padded out of a hollow, she breathed in the fresh air and gazed around her. "Squirrelflight! I was wondering if you wanted to go hunting...with me." A dark gray tom meowed, charging out of the hollow. Squirrelflight nodded, "I'm coming, Ashfur." She ran after him. Icy dew tickled at her paws, refreshing her and giving her strength. She brushed her pelt against his and slowed down so that her pawsteps matched Ashfur's. As they reached a shadowed area, Squirrelflight heard a tiny bustling sound. She crouched down, silently placing a paw infront of the other. The fresh green grass brushed againt her belly, she leapt, ready to sank her fangs into her prey, but suddenly, she slid sideways, avoiding what she thought was a mouse. Her whiskers twitched curiously.
"Ashfur, come over here!" The gray tom padded over with a plump vole hanging in his jaws. He dropped it and meowed back, "What is it?" He prodded it gently, hoping for a reaction. There was a muffled squeak. "I know! It's an oversized squirrel!" Squirrelflight replied jokingly, "Mousebrain! It's too big to be prey and it has pointy ears." She let her mouth hang open, drinking in the mysterious object's scent. "The rain is covering it's scent, I can't tell what it is." Ashfur glanced warily at the object, "We should report this to Firestar."
"So you don't know what it is?" Squirrelflight dipped her head in embarresment. Ashfur spoke up for her, "The rain covered it's scent." Firestar gazed at his daughter, "Very well, I'll come and see for myself." He stretched an got up from his nest. "Leafpool, could you come too?" The medicine she-cat nodded. Firestar let Squirrleflight lead the way. She flicked the tip of her tail to motion for everybody to come. As they padded out, Brambleclaw arose from the warrior's den, his amber eyes staring at her. He started to walk towards her. "Hello Brambleclaw." Firestar said, dipping his head in a greeting.
"Can I come with you?" He asked nervously. The ginger tom nodded, "Of course." Moons ago, He and Squirrelflight would be together all the time, but now, Firestar's daughter didn't exactly trust him anymore, Brambleclaw would always talk with his half-brother, Hawkfrost, who had inherited the ambition of their father, Tigerstar. Tigerstar was even willing to kill his own clan leader so that he could be the leader. Squirrelflight didn't trust Hawkfrost. Brambleclaw was always wondering if that meant she didn't trust him.
Squirrelflight tossed her head away, not wanting to look into his glowing amber eyes. "Why are you looking that way?" Ashfur questioned, "I thought the silver object was up ahead. She felt heat rise up to her face, silently she led them to the right way, across the grassy field and under the protection of some trees. And there it was, the fluffy silver object. In the sun, it shined like the moon, with gold tinges smudged around it's pelt. Leafpool approached it, sniffing the object, she smiled. Her warm tongue rasped out, licking it affectionatley. It squeaked and squirmed happily. Suddenly, two ice-blue eyes opened from the ball of fur.
What is it? Well some of you might already know, sorry the first part is short. The next one is coming out tomorrow. Heh, this one wasn't very successful.
