WindClan: Life Before 2023's Fire

[Akari]

She Took a Glance back at the pair, smiling for a millisecond, before sighing, and getting back to her task. All she had to do was get in, collect some information, and get out without an escort. She shouldn't think about the past, and she hated herself for doing so. But that did not matter to her now. She had work to do....She needed to divert The Dusk Syndicates Attention to another clan, one way or another. -Why Windclan? Because they still had a debt to pay...- She thought to herself, jumping to the next tree, accidently making a branch snap off, and fall to the ground, which caused her to wince, and hold her breath.

He pointed first to his marigold pile, which was obviously running low. "We'll need to get cobwebs, as well as marigold," After making sure she had seen the marigold, he then pointed to another small pile of herbs. "And catmint."

"Right.I think I've heard of catnip and marigold before. I obviously know cobweb as I'm pretty sure even the smallest kit knows that herb." She meowed chucking a little at her response about cobweb.

Talking to other toms? are you freaking serious? Larkfall had been scared out of his mind to even look at another tom--much less talk to one. cuckoo knew that. cuckoo knew that he wasnt talking to other toms. he knew what power he had over him, driven by fear and violence. this wasnt love. but larkfall loved him, so it obviously was,right? but it made him feel hurt, hearing cuckoo lie about what he was doing. he wasnt talking to other toms. he knew that--he was obdient. he was a good kit, all for his mate. he wouldnt do something like that. he stared at him wide eyed, stuffling down sobs and preventing his tears to fall. he wouldnt cry, he couldnt. hed be hurt for it. he back ed away more, in fear. his calm posture only made him more tense, unable to decipher what he was feeling. he backed away, standing up, ears pinned to the back of his head.
"im not lucky."

The kit, still with no name to speak of, was lying on the forest floor just waking from a long muched needed slumber.His stomach rumbled with a growing hunger. He then promptly picked himself up and went back to the moor where once again the rabbits pranced about. He started his chase off well. He was gaining on the rabbit but then suddenly it vered off to the left, unable to turn at his current speed he tripped over a rock jutting from the ground almost doing a flip. The rabbit then zipped down a hole leaving the kit with nothing to eat. upon his second try he managed to catch a rabbit and kill it. As he ate he thought of the group of cats he had seen before with the huge pile of rabbits. He finished and decided to check out the cats one more time maybe with luck he would find out what they where doing.

Hawkfeather watched in an observant silence as the smaller tomcat did as he was asked, scenting the air by parting his jaws and naming off what he could now smell before him in the hunting grounds. A lightened, proud smile came to the warrior’s maw at this as he nodded once to Harepaw. “Excellent job, young one.” He said with his tail swishing back and forth behind him as he looked up at the blue-hued sky for a moment before he glanced at his apprentice, his ears twitching to the male’s question. “Ah, yes, of course. We should take advantage of any prey we can get before the first snowfall comes around and all the rabbits go down into their burrows.” With that, Hawkfeather proceeded to explain the basics of hunting to the youth before he set them loose to attempt to catch the rabbit. “Remember, keep low to the ground, but make sure your tail doesn’t drag or else that will create noise. Move quickly, but not without checking where you set your paws and the most important thing is to not hesitate or you will miss your chance.” He said, whiskers twitching, “You think you can handle that now?”

Harepaw got down in his hunting crouch like Hawkfeather showed him, trying not to move his tail. His crouch had floes with was expected but he didn't let Hawkfeather fix them before creping up on the rabbit. Once he was about a tail length away he jumped, scaring the rabbit. It shot of at full speed and Hearpaw took after it as fast as he could. His whiskers were flat agented his gray muzzle as he ran. "That rabbits fast!" He purred enjoying chasing the rabbit. He hadn't really thought about weather or not he cloud catch it after it ran but he still ran after it. He loved running! The wind in his face on in his fur it was wonderful!

A chilling breeze swept through the open grasslands that were the hunting grounds, ruffling the tomcat’s fur and making a shiver run up his spine. The cold season of Leafbare was almost upon them and soon enough, all this grass would be covered with piles of white snow that would make his paws numb and hunting would be ten times harder than usual. However, this was nothing more than the usual routine of the forest that all the clans went through. Hawkfeather watched as Harepaw crouched low to the ground like he had instructed, but before the male could seek out any flaws in their current pose, the youth was already on his way towards the rabbit that he had recently scented. Soon enough, the young warrior was gifted with the scene of his apprentice sprinting across the plains after the rabbit as full speed. “For goodness sake..” Hawkfeather muttered, breaking into a run after his student, hoping that this would end with the successful catch of the hare that the younger male now went after without even a mere second thought.

Akari Tensed up, realizing that within a mater of seconds, everything had gone almost silent. She looked around, before noticing both the Apprentice and his Mentor were chasing something...a rabbit by the look of it. She let out a short sigh of relief, before jumping to the Net Tree, Almost Losing her grip this time, quickly Pulling herself up onto the branch. "Alright.......I Don't think it's to much Farther....Then again, I Don't know if they've moved camp recently..." She muttered, looking off into the distance from a hole beteen a few of the Branches. - They Don't sound that Far away, but their voices might be getting carried on by the wind, like scents can. It's not called WindClan For no reason...- She thought, Noticing how there were no longer any trees she could hide in, instead being replaced by tall grasses. -Oh...Well, now I'm going to stand out like a Black Thorn on A White Kitten...- She Thought to herself as she leapt down,, her Spotted orange pelt showing through the grass.

Surgestorm smiled at the remark, laughing a bit. "Yeah, that one is the easiest to remember," He meowed, cleaning his mess up a bit before finally getting read to go. "Oh, and we might as well collect some dried oak leaves if we pass by any oak trees along the border," He mentioned before turning toward the entrance and exit of his den. "Ready to go?"

She whipped her ears for a moment as she sniffed around. "I think there is something over there," Bluetalon mewed, pointing with her tail.

Onyxwhisper lifted her small muzzle into the air, "Yeah! I think so too!" She purred. "Do you want to catch it together?" She mewed as she begun to follow that trail.

Together was a term Bluetalon wasn't sure of. She nodded her head, but she had a hard time coping with her claws. The molly unsheathe her paws as she looked over at the rabbit.

Yellowpaw tipped her head,” Oh yeah! And won’t the wet leaves just mold?” She was a little worried her questions would either make him annoyed or think she wanted to become a medicine cat
