The Color-changing Stormcutter

Ch4 A New Way to Catch Fish and a Few New Rooms

I just have to say that Skyspin's underbelly is usually white, no matter her mood, except of course for camouflage and when that emotion is very very strong. Oh and btw the way I do italics on my iPad is like this: Wow. K?
On with da chappie!

Skyspin's P.O.V.
*******************************************************************************************
I woke up to find that my tail was dangling halfway off the edge of my cave ledge. Rolling my eyes I decided to test how deep the water was. The water was as deep as my tail wing was long. I put my tail on the bottom of the floor and raised it up to my mouth to drink. I saw tiny silvery things darting through the water, I realized that they were minnows. I slurped the water up then I ate the minnows, yum, but not filling. I put my tail wing on the cave floor and kept my tail as still as I could. I saw a perch come near but it didn't swim over my tail wing. Frustrated, I splashed the water with one of my wings and spooked the perch. It swam over my motionless tail wing and in one motion I trapped it in my tail. It struggled and made my tail sore but eventually it gave up. I could tell that the fish was still alive. Bringing it up I decided to snap its neck, and I did. I tripped and fell back on my ledge, but where I thought the cave wall was was actually another much smaller cave. The new room was big enough to Sleep in, but not big enough to Live in. I decided to use this little room as my sleeping room. But for now I wanted to eat. I was starving so I put the fish on the floor of the room and breathed enough fire to cook the fish, but not scorch it. I grabbed the fish and put it in my mouth, I don't know why, but I like to chew my food before I eat it. I chewed the fish for a second and then swallowed it. Yum. I went back to the ledge and looked outside to see that it was still raining, but not nearly as hard as it was last night, more like an average rainstorm than a thundering downpour. I put my tail in the water again and set it on the cave floor. This time a large, fat salmon swam over it. I captured it and brought it up as fast as I could so I could go ahead and snap its neck. I snapped its neck and cooked it with a blast of flame. I gobbled it up and decided that I was full. The lowest two ledges were underwater but the third wasn't. I discovered that there was a slightly bigger room here, maybe I'll use it to store food. Yeah it's gonna be my food room. I was still tired so I hopped back to the ledge outside of the sleeping room, I went into the room and laid down. Once the rain stops, I'm gonna go look for a two large pieces of tree bark so I can use them as doors to the food room and my sleeping room, and I'm gonna look for some soft moss to line my sleeping room. Sighing I slowly fell asleep to the pitter patter of the rain.

Meanwhile out in the forest......

A Raincutter walked out in the forest. The mud squishing under her feet as she located some worms to eat. She found a group of lugworms that had to have at least a hundred of the squirming slimy worms. She hungrily scooped all of the worms up and ate them in one gulp. Licking her lips she decided that she was full and went back to her little thicket. But something was not right. Not at all. She sniffed the thicket and smelled Stormcutter, growling she decided to track down the little worm who had dared to hide in Her thicket. She tracked the scent to a little cove, the Stormcutter's scent was coming from a well-hidden cave.
