Chapter 8
Dustypaw leaned against Stormpaw as they crunched through the snow, the chilly leaf-bare wind chilled them to the bone. It's been one moon since the accident and one of Dustypaw's legs had fully healed, while the other was twisted forever. Dustypaw had wanted to get out of camp and see his first snow. He was born in green-leaf, where it was warm and had plenty of prey. The elders have been keeping him entertained with their story's, but once Dustypaw had moved to the apprentice den, he had almost forgotten his time in the elders den. Willowheart had taken him on as a apprentice, she was nervous when Brakenstar announced that she was going to be Dustypaw's mentor. It was her first time as a mentor and she had only became a warrior six moons ago, Dustypaw had learned a battle move from her that really helped with his twisted leg. Jumping, rolling then kicking out with his back legs, then with his twisted leg would claw the cats face.
Stormpaw shivered, prey had been running low and every one was tired and skinny, Brakenstar had sent out more patrols since the rouges attacked and stolen Onyxkit, leaving Ravenfeather heart-broken, Ivykit had no one else to play with, so she spent most of her time sleeping, eating and playing with herself. Starlingheart's kits were due any day and everyone was exited to see them, her mate, Reedheart, had been checking on her every day. Whitechest supposed she had three or four kits. While the clan has become thinner Hollypetal had become plumper, first Stormpaw thought that she had been eating extra fresh-kill, but then Bluetounge started boasting to the other toms that he was going to be the best father ever. She thought she should tell Hollypetal to move to the nursery, because she wouldn't be much help carrying around kits with her and going on hunting and border patrols at the same time.
Squirrel scent drifted across Stormpaw's nose, making her mouth water, she tracked it until she saw the grey squirrel, it was also a plump one, she dropped into a hunters crouch, she crept forward then pounced, she quickly bit its neck to kill it, she carried it back to Dustypaw.
"Nice catch Stormpaw!" He exclaimed, "I can't wait until Willowheart teaches me how to hunt!"
"Well, Starlingheart will love this!" Stormpaw's mouth watered, she would happily eat this but she knew she should feed the clan before herself. "We should head back to camp, before they miss us," She meowed.
