A large female vole scurried out of the safety of her burrow to collect more moss for her babie's nest. She had 5 young ones inside who would be ready to go off on their own in only a few days.  |

Taintedstripe crouched and stared at his prey, wide-eyed and excited as the vole scent wafted up to his nose. Slowly, paw by paw, he crept up on the mother and pounced, his paw landing firmly on her brown body. (He didn't catch the babies, so there's more there ^^)

Fireheart made his way quietly through the woods, taking soft foot steps so as not to scare away potential prey. He then stopped, hearing faint sqeaking of some sort not too far ahead. He turned his head towards Wolfpaw. "Are there any animals round?" He asked.

Wolfpaw walked silently, but tired when they finally reached the woods again. She sniffed half heartly and nodded. There are voles around Fireheart. Birds and rodents, especially voles, were around home. There were so many they walked through our camp." She swivled her head back and forth to pinpoint the location of the vole.

"Very good!" He purred. Fireheart then sat down. "I will let you track the voles yourself. They sound disterssed, so I think you'll be able to catch at least one on your own" He could see Wolfpaw was tired, but he wanted her to gain experience whenever possible.

Wolfpaw sighed and nodded. Between running all over she was hungry and tired. But she pushed that aside and perked up her ears and moved her head to the ground. This was the way the found them at home. When they went underground they made lots of noise scrapinng the dirt away. Minutes passed when she heard what she was waiting for. A scrabble in the dirt came from ahead of her to the left. Silently she padded along the ground, now looking for the voles themselves. She looked also for an indent in the ground where a burror's entranve would be. There! She saw it! Triedness gone and a hunting gleam in her eyes and crept up a few more feet and then pounce when she was a tail length's away. They were baby voles. She easily swatted 2 of the four babies away from the entrance and ended their lives as easy as she did the thrush. She turned to see if the other two had stayed on the top, but they had gone into their burrow. With an annoyed expression she swatted down the hole to see if she could tag any of them, but nothing met her claws. Knowing they were gone, Wolfpaw took the two voles she had cought and brought them ack over to Fireheart, stumbling once or twice out of tiredness.

Fireheart smiled as he padded towards Wolfpaw, delighted that she made three catches today. As they made their way towards camp, Fireheard pressed his flank agains Wolfpaw's to steady her tired body. When they neared the place where Wolfpaw had caught her thrush, Fireheart padded towards the hole she had dug and unburried the bird. With all three fresh-kill safely in their jaws, they made their way towards camp for a well earned rest. TO: Camp |
