The queens, elders, ill, and injured must be fed first, warriors and apprentices second. Apprentices may not eat until they have hunted to feed the elders, or have special permission. (Outskirt Territories Warrior Code, Code 2)
Five, four, three... Asterpaw thought as she slowly approached a mouse, preparing herself to pounce on it. Two, one. Asterpaw leaped forward at the mouse, catching it in her paws. "I caught it!" Asterpaw mewed with pride, glad that she had caught something.
"Quiet down over there, you'll scare the rest of the prey away!" Oakfur growled as he stepped out of some nearby bushes while carrying a cardinal.
Asterpaw sighed and went back to hunting. I catch some prey, and all my mentor does is complain. She quietly thought to herself. However, her ears pricked up when she scented another mouse. I'm sure bringing back two mice will be enough, right? Asterpaw through, quietly padding towards the mouse, making sure not to alert it.
Asterpaw lunged towards the mouse, swiftly catching and killing it. She carried it back to where she left the other one, and began to carry them both back to the BushClan camp.
"Two mice are better than one." A familiar voice said from behind Asterpaw.
Asterpaw put the mice down. "What did you catch Icepaw?" Asterpaw asked the blue-cream she-cat.
"I caught a vole!" Icepaw said excitedly.
"That's great!" Asterpaw replied. "Let's bring these to the fresh-kill pile." Asterpaw added, picking the mice she caught back up.
Icepaw went to pick up the vole, but then froze. "Sn-snake!" Icepaw yowled.
