Chapter 6:
Fireclaw found Icespirit near by the rock in between the 2 territories. She must be tired from dragging Oceanpaw all the way here. He thought.
" Icespirit" He whispered as she came out form behind the rock.
" Fireclaw you look terrible!" She meowed as Fireclaw looked at all of the scratches the Stormclan cat had given him.
" yeah, but I beat the mouse brained thing easily!" he proudly replied
"Those stormclan cats haven't got a muscle!" Fireclaw continued, out of breath.
"Are you ready to return to camp?" He asked the Ice coloured she-cat
" not without some prey…Hawkshadow might be concerned."
"oh right! Wait for me here, I'll go and get some"
Icespirit nodded and sat down again, she licked all of Oceanpaw's scratches to clean them off
Fireclaw headed off to find prey.
He ran across the forest, making sure no other cat was around. He wasn't in Stormclan territory anymore but he was near and if any cat saw him, they might think he was stealing their prey. Fireclaw suddenly saw a baby rat near the twoleg house. Better than nothing…he thought I don't want to keep them waiting. He slowly approached the rodent from the back so he couldn't see anything. The rat suddenly heard leaves shuffling behind him and tried to run away but it was too late. Especially because he was only a baby he couldn't run fast. Fireclaw caught the baby rat and sank his teeth into its stomach. The rat squealed and tried to get away but it was no use. Before long, the rodent stopped dead. Fireclaw picked up the fresh kill with his mouth and ran back to the meeting place with Icespirit in between the 2 territories.
" Lets go' Icespirit meowed, ' I don't think Oceanpaw will last any longer than this!"
Fireclaw just nodded since he couldn't talk with the rat in his mouth. The two warriors ran back to their camp.
