Thunderstorm padded up to her,later in the day when she was leaving the dirtplace. "Hey! Brokenwish!" He called. She slowed. "Thunderstorm! Is something wrong?" "No." He mewed. "I need cats for the Gathering. Would you like to come?" He said,purring. "Yes!" She mewed. "Who else is going?" "I think.. Tigerlily,Birchwind,Ashheart,Foxspring,Eagletalon,Echomist,Cherryflight,Sparrowstep,Lionpaw,Poppypaw,Hawkpath,and you." He mewed. "As well as me and Muddystar." He added,trotting away to talk to Cherryflight.

Lionpaw padded up to her. "Would you like to go hunting?" He questioned. "Yes." Brokenwish purred,noticing he was even taller than her.That made her remember kithood,racing around camp and playing 'Clan'.How she missed times like those,with not a care in the world. They padded through the willow tunnel entrance,out into the forest.

Brokenwish saw a squirrel on a low-hanging branch of a redwood tree.She leaped for it,gripping into the branch and swinging on it,knocking the squirrel to the ground. Dazed,it tried to pull itself away. But Brokenpaw leapt on top of it,neatly snapping it's neck. She buried it between the roots,Lionpaw watching her in awe. "How did you do that!" He exclaimed excitedly. Brokenwish shrugged,her tail stirring up leaves on the forest floor. She tried to distract him. "How about we go down to the stream for a drink?" She asked.

Lionpaw mewed his agreement,so they trotted toward the creek. When they got there,Lionpaw padded up to drink,but Brokenwish crouched down,watching the water intently. She flicked her paw in,and a trout was flopping on the bank next to her. She stuck her claw into is slimy side,but there was no need. It had died quickly from the loss of water.

Lionpaw watched her do this. "Did Cherryflight teach you to catch fish?" He mewed. "No." Brojenwish said,taking a drink of water. "I just...seemed to know." She added. Lionpaw cocked his head,which he always did when he was thinking intently. He studied her. "Uh..cool!" He mewed,as she picked up the fish and followed him up the bank.

Movement in the tall grass caught Lionpaw's eye,and he raced foward,sending a rabbit pelting toward Brokenwish. She dropped her fish,and the rabbit tried to turn at the last second,but brokwnwish bit its spine and heard a crack.

Lionpaw walked back toward her. "Nice catch!" He purred. "Don't be silly.." she mewed. "You scared it toward me,and it practiacly ran into my paws." She added. He picked up her fish,and the squirrel for her as she drug the large hare to camp. It would feed the elders,queens and kits! She thought with satisfaction as she set it down on the prey-heap. Poppypaw and Hawkpath trotted out of the medicine den. "Just what we need!" Hawkpath meowed. "Do you mind if we give this to the elders and queens?" "Not at all!" Brokenwish replied,pleased. She grabbed part of it,padding into the nursery. Mossycloud and Brackenrose both looked up in intrest. Brackenrose was expecting,and her kits would arrive in the next moon. She set it down by the queens. Reedkit stopped his game of mossball by himself to pad over. "Rabbit!" He squeaked in delight. All the she-cats purred,watching him take a miniscule bite out of it's pale brown flank.

Dipping her head,Brokenwish left the nursery to see Poppypaw bringing the other half of the rabbit to the elders,who were resting outside their den. They looked pleased,and Brokenwish was happy to see them start to devour it.
