Alderblossom padded down the slope that led down into Croaking Swamp, and the tortoiseshell shuddered at the musty scent that hit her nose.

Deep amber eyes narrowing, the she-cat gave Mistlewhisker a nod.

''Let's split up and then meet back here when we've caught at least five pieces of prey each.''

[ ¥ Rolling Dice... ¥ ]

Alderblossom padded off into the woods that surrounded Croaking Swamp, though still counted as part of the location.

She opened her jaws to taste the air, catching the scent of a rabbit almost at once.

The pretty tortoiseshell and white molly instantly gave chase. There had been no time to stalk it as it had already caught her scent.

Alderblossom searched her surroundings for any way to cut off the rabbit's escape route, and took the first opportunity she saw, even if she got herself hurt.

Swiftly, the lithe ShadowClan molly sprung and bounced off a nearby pine tree, landing in a spot that cut the rabbit off.

The rabbit turned around abruptly, but before it could run off was scooped up by the neck by Alderblossom.

The tortoiseshell bit down somewhat harder, causing the rabbit to go limp in her jaws.

A clean kill, it was.

[ + 1 Rabbit ]

[ ¥ Rolling Dice... ¥ ]

Alderblossom could later be found stalking two blackbirds.

She leaped, landing on top of one and giving it a swift bite to the back of the neck.

The blackbird went limp instantly while the other one let out an alarm call and started towards the air.

However, the tortoiseshell didn't let it go without a fight.

She crouched then sprung, catching the blackbird in her jaws by the tip of the wing.

The blackbird squawked and squawked, but Alderblossom dropped it on the ground and pinned it there with a forepaw, leaning down and giving it a clean killing bite to the spine.

[ + 2 Blackbirds ]

Alderblossom stalked a pair of voles. Springing, the swift she-cat grabbed one and killed it easily while the other forepaw pinned down the other vole.

The tortoiseshell was a flash of fur to the vole as she gave it a clean bite to the neck.

[ + 2 Voles ]

Scooping up her five pieces of prey, Alderblossom headed back towards where she had told Mistlewhisker to meet her whenever the prey had been caught.

(aww, thank you! i liked the name alderblossom when i first came up with her. <3)

Five prey each? In Leafbare? Adlerblossom must have been extremely confident in her hunting skills, then. Mistlewhisker nodded, peeling off to find some prey. Scenting the air, she came across the scent of a jackdaw, some mice, and even a squirrel.

Following the jackdaw scent, Mistlewhisker padded through the marsh, staying low, until she heard its croaking cries. Eyeing the bird, she crept up on it, staying downwind and hidden in the ferns. Mistlewhisker leapt forward, slamming her massive paws down on the bird's wings and crippling it, shooting down to snap its neck with her jaws. One down.

[Mistlewhisker gained +1 jackdaw]

Stuffing the bird under a bush to return to later, Mistlewhisker then followed the scent of some mice. She found evidence of a burrow nearby, and she waited until she heard the skittering steps of the little creatures under a root. Slowly creeping up to it, Mistlewhisker slammed her paw on the root and took off after the fleeing mice, managing to catch two by the tails, swiftly killing them. It wasn't too far from the jackdaw, so she carried the mice by their tails to push them against the jackdaw. Two to go.

[Mistlewhisker gained +2 mice]

The squirrel scent had gone stale, so she left it in favor of a vole. She dropped low to the ground, swiftly following the scent. When she could hear the little creatures scuffling in the earth, she paused, trying to catch sight of them before pouncing. Suddenly, a blackbird shrieked into the cool air, alarm calls ringing off the trees before suddenly going quiet. The voles, alerted by the alarm call, shot off into the underbrush. Mistlewhisker sighed, closing her good eye. Well, if that didn't alert every animal in the forest, she didn't know what would. Pushing herself to her paws, she scented around a bit more, only to find most of the prey had gone stale. The chill of leafbare was still upon them, and that meant most prey would be huddling in warm burrows. She started back to her jackdaw and mice. Maybe she'd find something on the way back.

When Mistlewhisker returned to the clearing where Alderblossom had instructed her to meet, she had gained another mouse, bringing her total up to four. She could see the blackbird at Alderblossom's paws, and a muscle flickered in her jaw. That explained that, then. She set hers down, working her jaw to alleviate the cramp from holding so much. "Are you ready to return?"

[Mistlewhisker gained +1 mouse]
