A Shadowclan tom stalks a black bird with itching claws. His white pelt slicked back, his paws moveing without sound across the forest floor. They call him Flamewalker, when the sun hits his paw fur at just the right angle it looks like his paws are made of fire. His mouth watered as the scent of his quarry became closer and closer. A twig crackled from farther behind him. He hissed as the bird infolded its wings a fled into the air. With a mighty leap the warrior snagged it wing and it fell to the ground and tried to get up again. Flamewalker snapped its neck, then turned to see who almost cost him the bird. " Show your self."

Moonshard Like Walking Into A Dream, So Unlike What You've Seen. So Unsure But It Seems, Cause We've Been Waiting For You. Moonshard lifted his head, sniffing the air cautiously. He could smell the faint scent of bird, and his stomach rumbled hungrily. The Clan must be fed first, he reminded himself. He quietly stalked the bird, but quickly found that another had already caught the prey. He hadn't noticed that he had stepped on a twig until he heard the call of "Who's there?" Moonshard stepped out, and looked at the cat. It was a tom with fiery fur, and an annoyed glare. He dipped his head in apology and tilted his head. "Hello Firewalker." the ShadowClan deputy meowed.

Flamewalker erased the annoyed look off his face and dipped his head in repsect. " Greetings, Moonshard. Hunting is going well today." He laughed, embarssed. " I have two mice an a vole to go along with this black bird." He said jerking his head in the falen birds direction. " What brings you here?" The tom sat down and licked a paw as he waited, as he tried to flatened his brustled fur.

Moonshard Like Walking Into A Dream, So Unlike What You've Seen. So Unsure But It Seems, Cause We've Been Waiting For You. The gray tom gave Firewalker a wide grin, and watched as the warrior dropped the annoyed look of of his face. Moonshard took a paw step forward, then stopped and sat. At least hunting is going well for someone today, he thought. He was, again, reminded of his hunger, but he pushed the thought of food away. What brings me here? He blinked and opened his mouth to reply. "I was hunting, but, as you can probably see, the hunt hasn't been very good." he admitted. He gave a sheepish smile and rubbed one of his ears with his paw. "It's good that you're getting some decent prey though. I just hope that I'll catch something too." he meowed. He felt a little embarrassed at not having caught anything yet, but maybe with time he would. Hopefully. Word Count: 137 Tagged:Leah/Firewalker Note: None © - Afterlife by Avenged Sevenfold

Black fur streaked though the trees as a large tom pounced on a rabbit. Its fight was futile for he killed it a quick bite. Blackstar had decided to go on a hunting trip, give him an excuse to partol the borders. The Creed hadn't been a problem to his clan in a while, but he still liked to check.

A few moons back, the Creed had taken on of his partols, leaving only one to tell of the events. He had sent a search party into the Creeds forest, but none ever returned. To this day he still wondered what had happened to them. Some of his clan believed him a fool for sending the troops, and he wouldn't have, if the one who had returned from the captured patrol to tell of the events hadn't been his sister. She had returned injured and bleeding, and that is what had set him off.

Blackstar sighed at the thought of his mistake, when he heard two warriors talking just north of his position. Wandering in that direction he found who they were.

"Aw, Firewalker, Moonshard, what a great day for hunting, is it not?" He asked, walking up to his deputy. "Cheer up, Moonshard, you'll catch something." He mewed, a bit of sarcasm in his voice. Moonshard; on of the few cats he trusted, hence the reason he was his deputy.

Moonshard Like Walking Into A Dream, So Unlike What You've Seen. So Unsure But It Seems, Cause We've Been Waiting For You. Moonshard's ear twitched as it took in the sounds of the forest. The forest was silent, save for some noise which he could not decipher. He glanced at Firewalker, wondering if the tom heard the same sounds as he did. He kept himself from jumping at the sudden sound of his leader's voice. He gave Blackstar and toothy grin and his tail twitched. "It's a great day for hunting," he agreed. "And I sure hope I do catch something." he added. He yawned, his mouth seeming to split his face in half before closing back up. The slow release of breath was similar to that of a sigh, but it was more relaxed and calm.

Blackstar nodded at his Deputy. "I am sure you will be lucky." He mewed then scooted close to Moonshard. "There seems to be a large rabbit next just south of here if you want to check it out." He mewed softly so only Moonshard would hear. "I'm sure your luck will change there." With that he walked towards his warrior. "Have you two see any strange signs as of late?" He asked, his mind on the Creed.

An appreciated glance was sent towards Blackstar as he told Moonshard about the rabbit. He tilted his head slightly as he heard the question, thinking about what he had seen in the past few days. "I've seen nothing strange as of yet, but I'll keep a look out for anything out of the ordinary," he assured. "What about you, Firewalker?" he asked. Maybe the other warrior had seen something.

Blackstar nodded to his Deputy as he heard the good news. But he knew he couldn't relax yet, not when his warriors might have seen something. Every part of him wished that his warrior had seen nothing, the other part wanted a reason to attack those savages. As he waited for an answer he noticed that the ground was getting a bit darker. Looking up he saw a dark cloud coming in. He felt uneasy standing here with that cloud coming in. "Answer quickly Firewalker, or tell me at camp." He mewed, looking back at his warrior.

ooc: sorry it took so long, t.t

Firewalker shook his head as if trying to clear it." Oh, I havent seen any creed, but I saw a loner over the thunderclan border a few sunrises ago. I only saw one, so I didnt think it should be reported." Then he looked up at the sky to see an omunus cloud creep over head." I think we should finish up the hunting quickly, I can smell a strong storm." Just then a flash of lightning ripped through the sky, but there was no thunder, so they had some time.

[flamewhisper]

Blackstar nodded at her reply, wondering if what she had really seen was a rogue. He was about to ask what this rogue looked like, when the forest lit up under the lightning. His fur rose when the thunder hit about ten seconds later. "Yes, let's finish the hunt and get back to camp." Picking his kill back up he waited for the others to gather what they had. He didn't mind the rain, he just didn't like thunder.

[Aroura]

Firewalker quickly gathered his catch and padded beside his leader. His pelt turning a daziling white with every strike of lightning, but his flame colored paws turned a virbrent orange. One, two, three, four, fi... Thunder roled slowly in the skies as the storm crept closer to the lake.

[flamewhisper]

As Blackstar realized how much closer the lightning was getting he quickened his pace. He had to get his clan ready for this storm. It didn't look good. As they entered camp he began to call out orders to any cat who could hear. "Quickly dig a hole where we can bury the kill! Firewalker, make sure the Nursery is secure! We need to make sure the kits will be safe when the storm hits!" He looked up at the sky and noticed how dark the clouds were getting. He kept his eyes on the clouds as he talked to his Deputy. Moonshard, take a patrol group to bring back any animals that are still out. I don't want any cats out in this storm." He looked at his Deputy. "Go, quickly."

[Aroura]

Firewalker nodded and said," Yes Blackstar" as he quickly put his kill in the hole a tom had dug. Then the white warrior with flame colored paws, grapped sturdy branches from a dead bush near the camp walls and began placing them agaist the nursery then weaving in brambles and vines. The tom looked over his work and nodded in aprovle." The nursery is secure Blackstar."

[flamewhisper]

Blackstar continued to call out orders when Firewalker told him the Nursery was protected. "Thank you, Firewalker. Will you help me make sure that the coverings over the dens are secure? I know a very good place to collect moss, weeds, and twigs just outside the camp." He mewed, hoping the tom would answer quickly. Rain was beginning to fall, and it was already beginning to soak his coat.
