Oh, StarClan, please let me catch this, I know my rabbit is already enough to feed most cats in the Clan, but what of the rest of them? Lightpaw pounced, hooking his claws into its bushy tail. He tried to get a better grip on the squirrel so he could make the killing bite but he couldn't.

The squirrel bit down into his paw and he yelped. But determination drove him to finally catch hold of it and make a clean killing bite. Lightpaw stood up and flinched as his pain struck through his paw. But despite his slight injury, his eyes were shining with pride.

He dropped the squirrel,"How does anyone catch a rabbit and a squirrel in ONE DAY in LEAF BARE!? Especially a BIND cat!?" he marveled.

(Can I just say I love Lightpaw as if he were my own son~)

Cleftpaw watched his brother's progress carefully, muscles tensed and ready to trap the small creature if it bolted. He pulled forward just slightly to have a better start.

Lightpaw pounced and Cleftpaw bunched his haunches. He could see his brother struggling with the kill. The squirrel bit Lightpaw and Cleftpaw surged forward, prepared to catch the creature if it escaped, but his brother had already killed it.

"Great job, Lightpaw!" he praised. However, he caught Lightpaw's flinch and hooked his brother's paw with his own, pulling it closer for inspection. He could see tiny red beadlets welling up where the squirrel bit him. He lapped his brother's wound gently to clean it. "Let's get back to camp. You should have Shinefang look at that to make sure it doesn't get infected..." he murmured worriedly.
