Storm clouds rolled over the gray sky, blotting out the weak leaf-fall sunlight. The scent of rain lay heavy on the passing breeze that ruffled the treetops. Tiny paws scuttled across the ground below as a family of mice scrambled to find shelter. Across the moorland that led up to the line of trees raced the light brown figure of Heatherfur. Her whiskers pinned against her cheeks, tail streaming out behind her, she shot across the rolling hills, her eyes locked on the darting hare in front of her.

With each forepaw slamming against the ground, the Heatherfur gained on the hare, eyes narrowing in focus as she closed in. The hare darted once more to the right, but the feline was prepared. She lept to the side, cutting off its escape route with an extended claw, and without much hesitation struck it across the head. Stunned, the hare slid across the grassy plain, the blow to the head killing it almost instantaneously. "Yes!" the she-cat cried, quickly padding over to her kill and gazing down at it proudly. She sent a silent thought of gratitude up towards StarClan, for this had been the biggest hare she'd seen since Greenleaf had passed.

It didn't take her long until the WindClan warrior was gazing around once more, jaws parted to taste the incoming air. Her first kill buried, Heatherfur figured it wouldn't hurt to bring one more addition back to camp. After all, WindClan would need all the nutrition it could get with how high tensions had been lately.

The mere thought of the brewing battle between WindClan and ThunderClan was enough to send shudders down Heatherfur's spine. She was a skilled fighter, there was no doubt, but she feared who she might be put face to face with when the battle came. A look of longing crossed the feline's face as her gaze came into contact with the lush forest that expanded ahead of her. ThunderClan... she thought, the pungent smell of WindClan's neighbors ever present around her. Normally, she would be repulsed by it, however the rival Clan was home to someone quite dear to her, someone she missed. "Mintberry, where are you?" she echoed, murmuring the four words under her breath to herself. Her sister had left moons ago, but the ache still felt fresh each time she passed the border they now shared.
