Sunheart awoke to sunlight peeking into the warriors' den. Last night had been her warrior vigil and it had left her exhausted. Seedfoot and Cherryfrost had warned her, but she hadn't expected any less. Sunheart got up and stretched before heading out of the den. Bramblestar was sitting below Highledge with Squirrelflight. Lionblaze was sharing tongues with Cinderheart near the fresh-kill pile. Many were out on patrol.

"Just wake up?" Sunheart started a little before she realized it was Dovewing and Ivypool coming out of the den.

"Yeah," Sunheart replied.

"Just be glad they extended the warriors' den or we'd all be in the apprentices' den still," Ivypool said.

"It wasn't all that bad," Dovewing told her. "We were about to go out hunting. You want to come?"

"Sure, that'd be great!" Sunheart answered with delight. Ivypool then led the group out of camp and into the forest. Sunheart kept her ears pricked for the sound of prey, using everything Bumblestripe had taught her as an apprentice. She breathed in the air and detected a mouse not far off. She flattened herself to the ground and silently slid across the forest floor, making sure her movements didn't make a sound. When she spotted the mouse she bunched her muscles and leaped, catching it off guard and killing it with a swift bite to the neck.

"Great catch, Sunheart," Dovewing praised.

"Bumblestripe taught you well. That's for sure," Ivypool added as Sunheart buried the mouse.

"Let's see what else we can find," Sunheart said. She took a pawstep forward when she heard her name.

"Hi Sunheart! Finally awake i see," Sunheart turned to see her sister Vinepaw padding up to them.

"Hi Vinepaw, and don't say finally. I stayed up all night keeping vigil while you were comfortable in your nest," Sunheart reminded her.

"I know. Jayfeather has had me up all morning restocking the herb supply," Vinepaw replied.

"And that's such a bad thing?" Jayfeather appeared beside her.

"It's not a bad thing. Where'd you get that?" Vinepaw asked.

"I'd love to stay and chat but we've got some hunting to do. How about we share some fresh-kill later before the Gathering and talk then?" Sunheart suggested.

"Ok. See ya later sis!" Vinepaw called as Sunheart followed Ivypool and Dovewing away.
