Moonstar stood on the Great Boulder. "HawkClan warriors and apprentices!" she called. "Please listen to the list of cats who are going on the evening patrol tonight! These cats will be:
-Darkflame
-Blackash
-Me (Moonstar)
-Waterstorm
-Spiritpaw
-Firpaw
-Silverpaw
That is all!"

Darkflame nodded at Moonstar. "We should leave."
ReplyDeleteMoonstar nodded and the cats set out into the forest.
ReplyDeleteAs the cats padded on, nothing happened. There were many plants, but not a lot of prey or strange things. Moonstar turned to look at the cats. "It's quiet," she meowed. "Too quiet."
ReplyDeleteFirpaw looked around, a tiny bit scared. He didn't show it however.
ReplyDeleteBlackash's ears twitched. He watched the bushed rustle. "Firpaw, go catch that mouse," he said. "I want to see how you do."
ReplyDeleteFirpaw nodded and crouched down low, the grass hiding him from view. He slowly crept towards the mouse, who couldn't sense the presence of the cat. He pounced, and landed squarely onto the mouse, killing it instantly. He looked up at his mentor.
ReplyDeleteBlackash nodded down at the young apprentice. "Well done," he said. "When you go back you can give it to Aspentail." Moonstar and all of the other warriors nodded approvingly as well.
ReplyDeleteFirpaw smiled, proud at himself. They continued patroling.
ReplyDeleteDarkflame stopped Firpaw. "Shouldn't you bury it for now? You don't want to drag around fresh prey while patrolling," he told the apprentice helpfully.
ReplyDeleteFirpaw thanked Darkflame for the advice and proceeded to bury the prey, making a mental note to retrieve it later. He went back to the patrol.
ReplyDeleteDarkflame padded onwards. He paused, and as a new scent hit his nose his eyes narrowed. "Badger. Fresh," he growled fiercely.
ReplyDeleteMoonstar nodded. She turned to the rest of the patrol. "Be careful when you come here," she said. "I'll tell the rest of the clan when we–" Just then, the bushes rustled, and a badger waddled out from behind them. Moonstar stared at it with wide eyes. "ATTACK!" she yowled.
ReplyDelete(LOL waddle waddle XD)
ReplyDeleteDarkflame snarled and leapt right for it with angry silver-blue eyes. He dodged an attack and clawed its side, leaving angry red claw marks.
Blackash stood in front of Firpaw. "Don't do anything!" he ordered. "We can't risk you getting injured now."
ReplyDeleteFirpaw stayed still, petrified.
ReplyDelete"Blackash, protect the apprentices! Waterstorm, help Moonstar and I," Darkflame commanded smoothly as he circled the furious badger.
ReplyDeleteBlackash curved himself protectingly in front of the apprentices. Moonstar stood on the other side of the badger, trying to see if it had any weak points.
ReplyDeleteFirpaw watched. (there's not really much i can do here)
ReplyDelete(:/)
ReplyDeleteMoonstar quickly spun around and dashed at the badger, narrowing her eyes. As it turned to her in surprise, she quickly clawed at its face, aiming for the eyes. She managed to claw out one eye before the badger swiped her away viciously.
Darkflame leaped onto the badger's head, clawing brutally at its face.
ReplyDelete(Ow... :/)
(:O)
ReplyDelete"Moonstar!" Blackash yowled, but leapt at the badger with all his might, clawing at its side, leaving deep cuts in the fur. Blood spattered the ground. Moonstar slowly got back to her feet. "Protect the apprentices!" she snarled, going to Darkflame's side. "Do you have a plan?" she asked him quickly as the badger wobbled on its feet, confused.
Darkflame thought for a second, then nodded. "Yeah. I'll distract it here, and you'll go to the other side and leap on it from the right, then while it's busy with you I'll get its left. Waterstorm, attack from its behind."
ReplyDeleteMoonstar nodded and padded to the other side of the badger. It had stopped shaking and looked around, confused with all of the cats around it.
ReplyDeleteDarkflame danced around (lol) on his spot, distracting the badger.
ReplyDeleteMoonstar looked over at her deputy do his strange dance. "...." She thought, but still leaped at the badger, quickly delivering the killing blow. She landed next to it, panting. "We have conquered!" She yowled as it fell to the ground. Blackash yowled in excitement as well.
ReplyDeleteFirpaw gazed in awe at the success of his peers. He was determined to do the same someday. Meanwhile, he would go and fetch the prey he caught earlier.
ReplyDeleteAfter Firpaw had collected his mouse, Moonstar turned to the rest of the patrol. "Let's head back," she mewed, and the patrol padded back to camp.
ReplyDeleteDarkflame nodded in agreement, and led the patrol back to camp, Moonstar leading up the rear.
