It was the middle of the night, a few more hours 'till the sun peaked at dawn. Northpaw waited for her two group mates in the same place she had left them. She had caught the woodpecker from before, a mouse, and collected two small blue bird eggs she had seen laying on the ground in a broken nest.
Out of boredom, she unsheathed one of her claws, scratching from fake scenes drawn on her mind on the soft earth and flicked her tail impatiently.
Crack!
Northpaw jumped, her fur bristling with her hackles raised. She realized she was upwind, 'No time for that now.' She assumed. The Fireweeds swayed roughly, noisy enough to alert nearby prey.
For a heartbeat, the swaying stopped. Northpaw flicked her ear. Then, a heavyweight tackled her, and she yowled. She unsheathed her claws, thrashing around and kicking with her hind legs. She swore she made contact with her claws at a soft solid surface.
The attacker hissed deliberately in pain, stumbling back, "Owie!" They winced. Northpaw staggered back to her paws, remembering that voice before she could get a look at the feline. "Whistlepaw?" She spoke, "Oh feathers!" Northpaw went to the apprentice, "A...are you okay? Hope that didn't hurt you that much," The tom looked up at Northpaw with a smile, "Don't worry, nothing serious much. Well, If it's a beauty it'll heal alright," He murmured the last part. "That's a relief," Northpaw sighed, catching sight of the catch he dropped. "Woah, you actually caught that size of a jay? It's kind of huge!-"
The rustling of the Bog Rosemaries announced the arrival of Blizzardpaw, carrying four limp bodies of prey. "Hey guys," His mew was almost muffled. Blizzardpaw looked at the two, "did I miss out on anything?"
