Nightstar padded through the undergrowth, approaching the border. Her stomach growled, but she knew that even though she was technically on a hunting patrol, and could feed herself right now, she should hunt for the Clan first before eating her fill. It was leaf-bare, and she had lives to spare, unlike her lazy apprentices who never seemed to do anything! Dawnflower was the one she was really thinking about, however, since she was their medicine cat, her friend, and was not feeling well at the moment as far as she knew.
Walking up to the border, she scent-marked it, and then tasted the air for prey. She smelled something easily, for once, but it was not what she wanted. Rabbit... fox-dung! That was the one thing that they couldn't eat at the moment, due to the fact that the stupid Twolegs were poisoning them. It was bad enough that prey was scarce...
Filtering through the smells some more, she finally scented something she could work with. Sparrow, and nearby, too, by the rustling sound she heard that broke out in the nearby juniper bushes. Getting into the hunters' crouch, she crept up on the unsuspecting bird, until...
WHUMP!
She pounced on the bird, snapping its small neck, and killing it. Perfect. Taking it much closer to the camp, thinking Thank you, StarClan, for giving us this prey, she buried it, and headed eastward for the WindClan border, to mark and look for more food.
