Dawncloud looked up at the blue sky, sighing. It was in at sun-high and she was sent to go and hunt. Actually, she choose to hunt. She wanted to hunt to keep certain things off her mind. Certain things in the lines of her mother. It was the anniversary when her mate died a bloody and gruesome death. Exactly 12 moons ago, Dawncloud was waiting for her mate to get back, not knowing he would never come back the same.
She could still vividly picture the blood and pain in his eyes went he lost so much blood he died. She couldn't stand the picture. She trie1d to put it at the back of her mind so she could focus on her hunting. She scented the air, taking her time in finding the perfect prey. She then scented her favorite dinner, an adder. Her head spun toward the adder, spotting it. It was trying to hide pitifully in the ground.
Crouching down, her body took over. She leaped with great power from her back legs, pounced and killed it in one swift move. The adder hung from her teeth as she smiled proudly at her prey. She knew the clan had to be fed first, but the scent of the dead adder filled her nose. Her stomach growled with intensity. She didn't eat until this morning just before dawn.
Then, she heard something behind her. At once, she dropped the adder at her feet. Her eyes darting in all direction for the noise she heard. Was it another cat? Was it just some prey? Her heart froze as she thought of another possibility, Was it an enemy waiting to attack from the shadows?! Her body tensed up as she waited for any sign...
