Suntalon: HEHE! Um…. Sorry bout the delay... this is for Lighteningstormzero, RUNNINGWIND's DEATH! (I'm not quite sure if this is how it happened)
Running wild
Runningwind glanced up from where he was eating his mouse to face Sandstorm.
"Would you like to go hunting with me and Fireheart and Darkstripe?" she asked.
"Sure." And with that Runningwind finished his mouse and swiped his tongue over his nose and got ready for hunting. Runningwind stood up and stretched then padded over to the gorse tunnel where the patrol was waiting.
Runningwind followed Sandstorm out into the forest. He soon spotted a small vole. With a flick of the tail Runningwind signaled to the others that he was hunting it. He crouched.
His belly was pressed low to the ground, almost brushing the leaves, and in a snake like movement he pulled himself up to the vole and snatched it. A single blow to the neck killed and he buried it to come back later.
He padded over to Sandstorm and the rest of the patrol.
"How about we split up? And meet back here at Sunhigh?" suggested Sandstorm.
Fireheart readily agreed as did Darkstripe.
Runningwind nodded and then padded towards the Shadowclan border as Fireheart and Sandstorm disappeared towards Riverclan and Darkstripe towards Windclan.
Runningwind perked his ears to listen for prey. He didn't hear anything, so he sniffed, and immediately the smell of sparrow hit his nose. Looking around until he saw it by a small oak tree Runningwind glided up towards the bird, and got ready to pounce.
By the time that he went back Runningwind had managed to catch a vole, two mice, and a sparrow. He dropped his kill and waited. The first to arrive was Sandstorm, who had caught a rabbit, two mice, and three voles. The next was Darkstripe who had caught a mouse and three birds. Finally out of the bushes came Fireheart who had caught a bird, a mouse, a rabbit, and an adder.
Sandstorm nodded and then picked up her prey, then Fireheart, then Runningwind, and finally Darkstripe.
After dropping his kill in the pile Runningwind went over to share tongues with his sister Mousefur. They talked about the days hunting and borders and how it looked like Goldenflower was expecting kits.
When it was nearly dusk Runningwind was sent to lead a border patrol, consisting of Mousefur, himself, Greystripe, and Brackenpaw.
Runningwind sniffed along the Windclan border, and made sure no cat had crossed the line. Finally he led the group towards the Shadowclan border.
Sniffing and marking the border Runningwind suddenly caught the scent of another cat on their territory! Suddenly the bushes rustled and out stepped a band of rogues and Tigerclaw! Tigerclaw leapt at Runningwind claws un-sheathed.
Runningwind fought to shake off Tigerclaw. He could hear Mousefur shriek. Full of fury he finally managed to shake the larger warrior off. Without hesitation he yelled to Brackenpaw "Get back up!"
He then leapt at the tom attacking Mousefur and sent him flying. Then out of nowhere claws met his muzzle. Slightly confused Runningwind found himself face to face with Tigerclaw again.
Runningwind clawed his belly as he pinned him to the ground, but he knew it was too late, and shut his eyes as Tigerclaw ended his life.
Awakening in the land of stars Runningwind made it his personal goal to promise that nothing would ever harm Mousefur.
Watching her grieve for Longtail caused Runningwind pain too, but he knew that as long as he tried with the will of Starclan Mousefur would die in peace, not pain.
