Scar paused to breath in the fresh air of the moorlands as he picked up a scent of a rabbit. He dropped into a hunting crouch as he edged forward. He pounced, and killed it with one swift nip to the neck. He buried it with one paw to retrieve it later. "Hey Scar! Scar!" Midnight bounded over to her friend and touched his muzzle in a greeting. "Bramble calls us." Scar looked up "Is that so?" Midnight nodded "Yes." Scar stared at Midnight admiringly; she had dark fur with brown eyes with black spots in it. She was sleek and agile and many wolves liked her for she was kind and forgiving. "Yea, sure." He bounded over to her and wagged his tail back and forth. He followed Midnight into the dense undergrowth as he bumped into Bramble. "Woah! Sorry!" He bowed to to his leader in a show of respect and looked up for forgiveness. Bramble chuckled "No problem young one, listen, I wanted you two to go on a hunting patrol together, got it? Explore the moorland as I scented rabbits and weasels there." "Of course Bramble." Midnight and Scar barked in unison.
The hunt was very successful, overall, they caught 4 rabbits, including the one that Scar had caught by himself, caught 3 mice, 2 voles, and 1 weasel.
"The pack has feasted well Scar and Midnight!" Scar dipped his head politely "Anytime Bramble!" Even though the mood around was cheery, he could sense something... Something like sorrow... Deep sorrow. Before Scar could open his mouth to speak, Bramble padded over the to the high rock and yowled "The wolves of my pack! Please gather beneath the high rock!" Wolves padded to the high rock and sat down before it, all of them gazing up at their leader. "I have sad news to bestow open you." A murmur of uneasiness rippled through the pack as apprentices and warriors pressed their pelts close together, fur bristling as though in the middle of a fight. "Our deputy, Stone, has sadly passed away today. He has been found dead next to the two leg place, and there is a badgers scent on him." Howls and wails rose from the pack as Stone's mother, HawkEye wailed and yowled in despair. Dust, his father, pressed himself closely against his friends, seeking warmth and comfort. "In his place, the deputy shall be...." Everyone gazed up, and seemed to sit up straighter. "Scar!" Scar looked around in disbelief as his friends praised him, Midnight gazed proudly at him as his parents ran up to him, nuzzling him. His sister, Timber, trotted up to him "I knew you could do it Scar!" "Same here!" Midnight said.
" Scar! Scar! Scar!" Scar padded up to the high rock and bent down to his leader and licked his shoulder in a sign of respect. Just then, a horrible wail rose from the nursery, Cinder rushed out "Leaf is missing!"
