For The Times I Can't Breathe

[Squid]

Yellow orbs peered from a bush with thick leaves, a tiger like tail swayed from side to side, but kept close to the ground whilst the small paws moved forward with great caution, making sure not to alert the small gray creature. It's tail was long, thin, and hairless, paws with sharp claws, large ears resting on the head, and big black eyes. The mouse. One of the plumpet Morningflower had seen all season. Because of the drought, it was hard to find good prey now, especially a full grown, plump, juicy looking mouse. One more step, and Morningflower leaped, pushing off with her back legs, and landing with her fore paws on the squirming creature. She swiftly ended it's life by biting it in the neck. With a few strokes of her front paws, Morningflower made a whole deep enough, and dropped the mouse in, scraping the dirt back over it. Just upon burying the mouse, Morningflower's ears pricked, having heard the sound of pawsteps close by.

Fearstorm saw Morningflower swirl around at the sound of his pawsteaps in the dead leaves. He was holding a small rabbit in his mouth with his teeth plundged through the rodent's flesh. He dropped it. "What did you catch?" he mewed looking at the limp rabbit that lay in front of him. The hot air around them was geting humid and stuffy, it was hard to breathe. Thick brush around the cats started to shake as a gust of wind blew by. Fearstorm looked up at Morningflower, and then at her dirt-covered kill.

Upon seeing Fearstorm, she let out a relieved sigh "You scared me, I thought you might've been a fox or something" You couldn't blame her for thinking that though, in the drought, badgers, foxes, and such would be desperate to find food, even if it meant eating a small clan cat. "Oh, a mouse, a very plump one too, it's the first plump mouse I've seen in moons"

[[Grotesque Burlesque.]]

"Well, scaring you was not my intention. I assure you. That is a very plump mouse. Where'd you catch it?" The wind picked up again blowing the leaves on the ground into the air. " I'm going to try to catch something else okay?" Fearstorm turned around at the sound of thunder. Finally, rain was coming to IceClan, The drought had brought a food shortage to them and this rain, hopefully, would change it.

"It's okay, and actually, I caught it right here" Morningflower looked to the sky at the sound of thunder, flinching slightly. She never told a soul, but Morningflower was deathly afraid of thunder, because of reasons from her past, but nonetheless she made herself look unphased as she looked back at Fearstorm "Okay, hopefully we catch more before the rain starts so the prey won't start hiding again"
