Silvermoon

Silvermoon just finished grooming her tail when Leafpool walked to her silver kit.

"Lets go on a walk," Leafpool suggested. "I haven't had a chance to spend time with you."

" Okay! I'll just let Heathertail that were leaving, " Silvermoon meowed.

Leafpool nodded and wrapped her tail around her paws.

Heathertail was talking to Breezepelt by the warrior den.

Silvermoon have a small meow to let the deputy she was there.

Heathertail turned to her, "Hi Silvermoon! What can I do for you?"

" Leafpool and I are going on a walk, " Silvermoon told her.

"Alright, can you please hunt while you are out?" Heathertail asked.

"Of course!" Silvermoon said.

The silver she cat walked back to her mother but was intercepted by Shadeclaw.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"Leafpool and I are going out hunting together," Silvermoon answered.

"Okay," Shadeclaw touched his nose to Silvermoon's before joining Sleekflight by the fresh-kill pile.

"Lets go!" Silvermoon meowed cheerfully when she reached Leafpool.

Leafpool led the way out of camp to the rabbit holes before speaking.

"It seems we're going to have kits soon," Leafpool nudged her daughter.

Silvermoon licked her chest fur in embarrassment.

"Maybe," she muttered.

Leafpool nudged Silvermoon again before changing the subject.

"I think this is a good place to stop and hunt," Leafpool meowed.

Silvermoon lifted her nose and smelled rabbit.

"Over there" Leafpool flicked her ears where a rabbit was engrossed in a tasty morsel.

"I'll try to steer it away from the burrow," Silvermoon told her mom.

Silvermoon creeped close to the prey while Leafpool was waiting by a nearby bush. Silvermoon jumped, but misjudged her leap and landed short. The rabbit squealed and ran the opposite direction of where Leafpool was. Leafpool have a growl and raced right by the rabbit and overpowered it. Leafpool caught the prey and gave it a quick bite to the neck.

"Nice job!" Silvermoon meowed. " I jumped too early, " she admitted.

Leafpool put her prey down, "Well we still caught it! That's what counts."

Silvermoon nodded, "Did you ever hunt when you lived with Thunderclan?"

" Yes. I hunted on the great journey and I didn't always spend my time with herbs and sick cats. When I became a warrior I had to hunt and fight, I wasn't built for it but it was kind of fun, " Leafpool admitted.

Leafpool buried the rabbit and the two cats went on their way.

Sleekflight

Sleekflight was on patrol with Wolfpaw, Leaftail, Darkpool, and Breezepelt. This was the first patrol Sleekflight has led and he promised Crowstar that he would be great and a leader. The cats stopped to mark the Shadowclan border.

"Darkpool you mark that bush over there, and Leaftail you mark the rock," Sleekflight ordered.

"Can I lay a scent marker? Please?" Wolfpaw asked, her beautiful amber eyes were staring up at Sleekflight with so much pleading that Sleekflight had to stifle a purr.

"Can she?" Leaftail asked, " she has to learn sometime. "

"Sure why not," Sleekflight concluded.

Wolfpaw gave a little skip of delight and went to tree at the end of the border.

"Did you hear that?" Breezepelt asked. His head was tilted in concentration.

All the cats were silent and stopped moving except for Wolfpaw.

There was a bark then another bark. Each bark getting louder.

Darkpool's eyes went wide, "Dogs!" She whispered.

"Every cat! Climb a tree!" Breezepelt ordered.

The cats nodded and climbed the nearest tree.

"Darkpool?"

" Safe! " The black she cat meowed somewhere above Sleekflight.

"Breezepelt?"

" Safe! "

Leaftail? "

"Safe!"

" Wait were missing a cat! " Sleekflight yowled moving his head side to side to find the missing cat.

"Where's Wolfpaw?" Darkpool screamed.

" She's still down there! She didn't hear us! " Leaftail worried.

Just then two massive dogs jumped out the bushes. Wolfpaw looked up and wailed.

Sleekflight didn't even think he jumped out of the tree he was in and landed right in front of the dogs. Sleekflight scratched one of the dog's noses then turned around and bit the other dog's leg.

"Sleekflight! Watch out!" Wolfpaw yowled.

Sleekflight was too busy with the first dog and didn't notice the second dog approaching him from behind. Sleekflight scratched the dog's nose again and the dog ran away. Sleekflight heard a whimper and turned around just in time to see Wolfpaw legs cripple under her, blood gushing out of wound on her side. Sleekflight gave a growl and launched himself at the dog. He was vaguely aware of Darkpool dragging the apprentice to safety. Sleekflight jumped onto the dog's back and have the dog a sharp bite on the neck. The dog whimpered and threw Sleekflight on the ground. The dog pounced and bit the cat's leg. Sleekflight scratched the dog's cheek and gave a small purr of satisfaction when the dog ran away. Darkpool ran up to her brother.

"We need to get back to camp to treat Wolfpaw's injuries and yours," Darkpool meowed.

Sleekflight nodded, "I'll carry Wolfpaw," he meowed his voice cracking.

Darkpool looked like she was going to argue then thought better of it. She closed her mouth and hauled the unconscious apprentice onto the injured tom. The rest of the cats search the area to make sure the dogs were gone. Then they headed back home. Sleekflight limped with the injured apprentice on his back.
