Featherlight's lover

Rogue Disaster

         𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉 𝒊𝒏 𝒎𝒐𝒐𝒏𝒔! Featherpaw smiled and cautiously crept up to the blackbird. It had no idea she was even there. Featherpaw pounced on it before it could make a sound. "Good job Featherpaw." Blazefire said. "The clan would really enjoy it." Poleice just looked at her without saying a word. "Come on, let's dig up our prey before we get attacked by the rogues." he said and turned away. They dug up the rest of their prey. Featherpaw hoped no rogue was watching them and prayed Starclan the fresh-kill won't be taken. She started to feel okay when they got closer to camp until they smelled cat scent. Rogue scent. "Featherpaw, take the prey back to camp." Blazefire said and dropped the prey. Four rogues jumped out of bushes and attacked her clanmates. Poleice ducked a brown tom's blows and knocked him over. A cream she-cat jumped on him and nipped his ears. Meanwhile, Blazefire was being attacked by a tortoiseshell she-cat and a cat with black patches on his pelt. "Go take the prey back!" Blazefire screeched. Featherpaw looked at the prey they caught. There was no way she could carry them all at once. Just then, the tortoiseshell she-cat leaped on her and pinned her to the ground. Featherpaw snarled and bit her shoulder. The she-cat yowled and gripped her scruff and shook it violently. Featherpaw struggled to claw her back and tried to kick her off. A Thunderclan patrol came from a distance yowling. "Come on! We got what we need." the brown tom yowled and ran off. The others snatched all the prey and ran away. "Fox-hearts!" Blazefire yowled at them as they disappeared. Poleice licked his wounds clean and got up. "At least we got a mouse." he said and looked at Featherpaw. Featherpaw looked behind her and saw a puny mouse that she was laying on while being pinned down. The Thunderclan patrol stopped at their tracks and looked at them. "They already ran away." Sparkpelt hissed. "We came too late."

       "Let's head back to camp." Poleice said. Blazefire nodded and walked with him towards the hollow, both leaving Featherpaw with the rabbit. Featherpaw grunted and took it.𝑨𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒚. Featherpaw put it in the fresh-kill pile. The fresh-kill pile have hardly any prey except for her mouse, a rabbit, and a tiny vole. "Take the vole to the elder's den and the rabbit to the nursery and we all have to spilt the mouse." Flywhisker said. Many cats grumbled and muttered to each other. "How are we going to spilt a small mouse? It wouldn't even be a full meal for a kit!" Honeypaw complained. Sparkpelt shot her a dirty look. "We don't have much prey for every warrior Honeypaw. Be grateful Starclan blessed us with this prey." she said sternly. Clara took the prey and ate a small bite as passed it to her mate Flywhisker, who did the same as passed it on to Sleekpelt. Soon, every cat was lining up to take a bite. "This is pitiful." Bristlepaw spat beside Featherpaw. When it was her turn, the mouse was barely a mouthful. Featherpaw decided to pass it on to Bristlepaw without eating it. "You sure you don't want a bite?" Bristlepaw asked, concerned. "Just eat it and pass it on." Larclaw snapped. Bristlepaw looked at him scared and took a bite really fast and passed it to Nightpaw. Featherpaw wanted to snap back at Larclaw for snapping at her sister but went to the apprentice's den. When no one was looking, Featherpaw sneaked behind the warrior's den and climbed up. She'd been to Jasperpaw's hideout many times before to remember the route now. While she was on the way, a rabbit near the moorland was nibbling on grass. 𝑪𝒂𝒏'𝒕 𝒉𝒖𝒓𝒕 𝒊𝒇 𝑰 𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉 𝒐𝒏𝒆 Featherpaw's jaws drooling and caught it. She took it back with her inside the mountain hole. She took a bite hungrily. "Featherpaw?" Jasperpaw said behind her. She turned her head to see Jasperpaw walking in. "Here. I caught a rabbit for both of us." she greeted and nudged the dead rabbit to him. He hesitated and looked back at her. "You shouldn't be eating this. This is suppose to be for the clan. Twigbranch could really use it." Jasperpaw said worried. Featherpaw looked at him confused. "But shouldn't we be eating this? We hunt for the clan and if we're stronger, we can hunt better." she said. Jasperpaw looked away and walked past her. "Strong or not, I'm not eating that. Queens and elders are fed first. Twigbranch needs to be healthy to produce the milk needed for her kits. It's part of the warrior code." he said and rested on some bedding. "We could catch more prey later for the clan. The rogues will go away soon. Just eat it Jasperpaw. I know you want it." Featherpaw insisted and pushed the prey closer. Jasper didn't look at her and closed his eyes. 𝑯𝒎𝒑𝒉, 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒓𝒖𝒅𝒆 she scoffed and took the rabbit back. Now when she took the prey back for herself, she felt bad for eating it. It would be breaking the warrior code for eating fresh-kill that should be eaten by her clanmates. "I hate to say this but you're right Jasperpaw." she grumbled and snatched the prey and headed back to camp.
