The Tortured Servant Chapter 13 Talon's POV Gingerstar14: Okay, Talon is next! Talon doesn't think much, mostly it's action for him! Small minded, is what it is, though. I guess this means Leopard's next. He's gonna be fun to write. Talon plushies! He may be evilish, but he's just a big doofus with a little brain. Yea...I tried to make him sound evil/stupid at the same time. It was tricky. I know it's short REALLY, sorry. Sorry, I went on a surprise vacation to the beach. But now I'm back...and sunburned. My dad brought home his work comp until we get a new one! So I'll still be typing!!
I rose to my paws and streched. Leopard had gotten me up and asked if I wanted to hunt with him. Of course! Hunting was so fun. I'd never admit it, that would get knife making fun of me. Not that I care. Knife is what he is, and so am I.
I padded over to Leopard and nosed his shoulder. The big tabby whirled around, then growled, "Let's go then." Eagerly, I followed him out of the camp to see what we could find to eat. Suddenly Leopard leaped, and caught a big crow in between his claws.
That reminded me how much my own claws longed to sink into flesh. I hadn't done that since we mauled Honey, and needed to do that again. So while Leopard sat down to eat, I began stalking through the undergrowth to see what I could find.
For a while I scented nothing, then spotted a squirrel gathering nuts off the ground. It was fall now; I realized. Summer had gone so fast...what with all the super-traveling pace Knife had set. It was hard on all of us, mostly Honey. But it was good that we had had rest while she was hunting for us. That I was glad for. That raid when three of our gang died was worth it, three years later; I was very glad.
I pounced on the squirrel, killing it instantly. Leopard stalked past me."I'm going back to ThunderClan. Seeya." I said nothing and continued eating my squirrel. Upon finishing, I rose to my paws and padded back in the direction of the camp. I recalled the place where we'd attacked Honey. There was still dried blood there, it was only six days ago, and it hadn't rained.
Flicking my tail I picked up the pace and hurried back to where Knife, Sand, and Leopard were sitting. Midnight was a ways away, talking to Dustpelt. I decided to join them. "So, will you go with Streakpaw, Liontail and me on the morning patrol?"
"I'll go!" I called. Though I wouldn't want to live with them, I was fastinated by their strange customs.
Dustpelt shrugged. "Sure. Midnight could go too. The more the merrier I suppose." He agreed.
Midnight rose to his paws and padded slowly toward the others. "I'll think about it," He growled over his shoulder. I sat down beside Dustpelt and watched him go. He always was hard to get along with, so I wasn't surprised. Dustpelt yawned and padded off to the warriors den.
"You'd better get to sleep if you want to be able to get up. It's well past moonrise." He called. I sat there for a few more minutes, looking at the sky. There was no stars, only the moon with a haze around it. Hopefully it'll rain tomorrow, I thought. The air was thick with heat even long after sundown. I got up and padded over to Midnight, who was already alseep.
I lay down quietly on my back and continued staring at the moon.
