Re: ThunderClan Territory
Leopardpaw stepped carefully along a bouncing branch, fox-lengths above the ground. As her heart thudded in her chest she wasn't sure if it was due to excitement or fear that she would fall. The further she went along the oak bough, the skinnier it got and the more it bent under her weight. But she was close enough to wear she wanted to be, just a few mouse-lengths from a mossy cliff. She steadied herself for a moment, but her tail twitched in excitement, that familiar feeling whenever she found something new. With a swift bound, she closed the small gap between the branch and the small sandy ledge. Leopardpaw was feeling incredibly pleased with herself, because she was right about what she had guessed earlier. There was a wide alcove carved into the stone wall, a natural cave obscured by hanging lichen and branches. She reared back on her hind paws and dug her claws into the prickly mess obscuring it, and ripped it back in one swift move. She purred at the sight, and immediately darted into the cavity, rubbing her pelt up against the rough stone walls and scratching her claws, almost painfully, along the cool ground. It was a bit cheeky of her, but she loved leaving her mark on the small wonders she had found throughout the Thunderclan territory. The bengal cat allowed herself to rest in the alcove and placed her head on her paws, overlooking the small view she had provided herself.
