The Great Clans
TigerClan
It was a rather warm day. Especially good for hunting, Shadow-walker thought, maybe I should ask Tigerstar if I can organize more hunting patrols. Tigerstar was in the nursery with his mate, Mooneyes. Their kits were about two moons old.
Shadow-walker cleared her throat and said, "Tigerstar, don't you think we should organize a few more hunting patrols? It is a nice day and with leaf-bare approaching we should get as much prey as we can to make sure the elders, kits, and queens are all healthy and fit to survive."
Tigerstar turned his head to look at his deputy, "Yes, you're right. Searingpain is assessing Stormpaw and Graypaw. Eagleclaw, Cloudsurfer, Gingerheart and Darkpaw are on the dawn patrol and should be coming back soon. You can send Whisperingwind, Shiningfire and Firepaw out. Do you think Rock-kit is ready to be apprenticed?"
"Of course he is!" Hawkstripe said and padded slowly out to get a piece of fresh-kill.
"Then we shall ask Eagleclaw to mentor him." Tigerstar said as Shadow-walker padded away to tell Whisperingwind to get Firepaw and Shiningfire for the hunting patrol. "Good-bye Mooneyes. Good-bye kits," he said and padded away to take a short nap before Eagleclaw came back.
OoOoOoOoOoO
Searingpain watched as his apprentice, Stormpaw, caught a thrush. Stormpaw buried it with a mouse he caught earlier beside the Great Sycamore. He watched as a sparrow fluttered up behind Stormpaw without it noticing the large gray cat that was upwind of him. How is Stormpaw going to get this one, thought Searingpain. Somehow Stormpaw managed to twist around and leap onto the sparrow, but not before it squawked, sending out a signal to the other animals in the area that it was unsafe.
Searingpain purred softly and tracked down Graypaw to see how he was doing. He passed up a tree where Graypaw had obviously buried his fresh-kill before he found the apprentice carrying a mouse and a squirrel. Graypaw set down his prey and dropped smoothly into a hunting crouch a padded quietly forward and leaped onto a rabbit a killed it with one swift bite. Graypaw picked up his rabbit and the squirrel and mouse and padded back to the training hollow. It was almost sunhigh and he told the apprentices to be back by then. Searingpain raced back to the training hollow only moments before Graypaw and Stormpaw, who were both carrying as much as they could.
"Well done. Stormpaw, I'm surprised you caught that sparrow back there. I don't think even I could've done better." Searingpain said and Stormpaw sat up straighter with pride. Searingpain didn't give praise lightly. "Graypaw, I found where you buried most of your prey and you caught loads. Let's go back and pick up the rest of the prey and head back to camp.
A.N.- I hope you liked this first chapter. I'm going to alternate Clan point of views each chapter unless there is a fight going on and then it'll be mixed up.
