Hunting, x. Flaming [ f u r y ]

[Razorstar]

<sub>"Move you idiot " a cold voice screeched, "if you are to do a patrol I guess you better move" it continued its tone now dripping with sarcasm. Sure enough it was a tom who spoke such words. Razorstar to be precise. He stood half towering over a shivering NightClan his dark eyes burning with rage. Flexing his claws irritable he pushed past the cat and stalked int the mist. "I want at least four rabbits" he snarled over his shoulder before disappearing into the darkness. The only thing that seemed to be viable of the tom was his blazing amber eyes. It was strange how they still glowed when there was no light to reflect. Not even the moons deathly glare could brake the branches of the forest. The clan was not called NightClan for nothing.

Pinning his ears back against his skull he scented the air, his tail thrashed side to side behind him. Oh he was in a ugly mood. Yes. They where keeping away from him. What other choice did they have, they would rather keep away and silent that have there heads bitten off. No cat really new why, well the poor messenger did. She was bringing a message from the other clan. After he told Razorstar the poor cat dared not open her moulth again. Hissing he started cutting through some vines with furious strikes. "Since when did the other clans control me" he roared not caring if any other heard. Packing in move blows he started to growl threats. It was not a very nice thing to heard, half of them where strong enough to kill a crow.

Finally giving up he sat down staring into the cold forest trying to scent a hint of prey. It was buzzing all around him yet where was it. Growling softly he pushed himself down into a hunting crouch, his paws tapping lightly on the ground his tail swishing behind him. Mouse. Smiling he pressed on watching the small shape flit back and fourth through the shadows, it seemed to be chewing on a nut of some type. Pressing himself down lower he made his soft black underbelly brush ever-so-slightly against the dusty ground. Just a few more steps... now!. Pouncing suddenly he took the fat rodent in his jaws and ended its life with a bite. scratching back a clump of dirt he buried his kill. He would come back later for it.

"Where is she" he muttered to himself pacing back and forward when he finally cooled a little. Scratching at the log he waited for his eager apprentice to show up. She seemed to be taking her time. Flipping back his head he yet out an ear splitting yowl for a signal for ehr to move her hind.</sub>

Mirrorpaw bounded cautiously toward her mentor, not wanting to send him into further rage. She sighed and knew she was going to be shouted at for being only 1 minute or so late. 'Ah, oh well. I can handle it. To be a good Warrior you need to be able to handle different situations and not ever be late. This is just another lesson learned...I suppose.' she thought to herself as she glanced guiltily at her mentor.

[Razorstar]

_{"Where have you been" he snapped his back turned on her as he tore on at the piece of rotting bark. He turned on her a ravenous look in his deep amber eyes, his normally soothing rumbling voice was slashed with ice and bitterness. There seemed to be an acid tang upon his tongue. "Well" he insisted his tail curling lightly around his inky black paws.}

[MirrorScreen]

" Oh. I'm s-sorry R-razorstar," she stammered " I-i was distracted by a s-s-shrew. I ,well, tried to catch it, but w-when you called I came r-r-running.." She shivered with fear for what would happen next. 'Oh, this is not good. I didn't think he'd be this mad. Oh dear." she thought and sniffed unhappily. ' I doubt he's in a good mood.'

[Razorstar]

He blinked slightly and cuffed her gently of the ear "its okay, lets go" he murmured before turning his back on her and pouncing into the forest. The faint glare of his dark amber eyes lit up ,shining in the darkness. Indeed. It was hard to find him when he didn't want you to find him, but when he did you were quite alright.

[MirrorScreen]

Mirrorpaw sighed with relief 'Whew, I got off easy on that one.' she thought, ' I'd better not do it again.' She trotted merrily through the forest keeping as close to her mentor as she could, trying not to lose sight of him. She stepped lightly, not wanting to scare away the prey that lived in this habitat. If she did they wouldn't catch as much prey.' RazorStar wouldn't like that too much.' she thought

[Razorstar]

_{He snorted lightly and turned his head to her, he could see quite perfectly through the darkness. A scent caught his nostrils, and the tiny pulsing of a small creatures heart ruffled his ear fur. "Lighter on your paws" he whispered to her, he himself dropping into a hunting crouch. Moving lightly on his paws he spotted the small animal. Stopping he stepped aside "get it" he muttered to her.}

[MirrorScreen]

She nodded at her mentor and immidated his crouch, she stalked up to the small creature, she could almost feel it's soft breathing. The animal was a vole- a plump, fat, well-fed one. She liked voles, they tasted very good, her mouth watered at the thought. But the Clan always came first, none for her until everyone else was fed. She stalked up to it and pounced with rapid speed, but she only just managed to catch and kill it. She picked it up and dropped at her leader's feet.

[Razorstar]

_{"Your reflexes are weak" he murmured, quick as a lightning bolt he nocked her over with a sharp cuff of a soft paw. "Always expect things" he said looking down on her, "the vole nearly got away" he scolded gently hiding a smile from his face. Blinking at her he picked up the vole and weighed it. "Hmm not bad" he said in a smooth funny voice "might feed a butterfly" he said now smiling at her. Dropping it he sat back on his haunches "hit me and I will let you have it" he said sharply already up on bis paws once more.}

[MirrorScreen]

She stared, ' He wouldn't do this if it wasn't to teach me something. I wounder what..' she pondered ' Ah well, I figure out later.' She watched his movements for a moment and then she circled him for a second and made as if she was to run straight into him. But instead she lunged quickly at her mentor, her Mach-like speed making up for her lack of power.

[Razorstar]

_{He jumped up landing on her shoulders. "Stop trying to hit me and hit me" he hissed into her ear and flipped of her again. His amber eyes narrowed challengingly, his muscular shoulders tensing slightly. A smile tugged at the corner of his lips.}

[MirrorScreen]

" Fine, I will!" she called. She lunged again, but this time stoping mid-way and dropping down in an attempt hit his legs. But this was not her real intention, to his his limbs, it was to make him jump. Because if he was to leap up to dodge she could get at his soft underbelly quite easily, since it would be right on top of her.

[Razorstar]

_{He stepped nimbly to one side, "stop showing emotion i can read your moves" he roared trying to wind her up and anger her. Swishing his tail side to side he narrowed his eyes at her. "Come on! HIT ME" h cried, "you good for nothing pile of squirrel dung" he added in briskly.}

[MirrorScreen]

" Ha ha! I will, I will! Don't worry!" she cried back, smiling happily. RazorStar should know she was hard to anger, he was her mentor after all. She was only trying to tire him out, since she knew she had excellent stamina.
