[MockingRabbit]

Chapter 1

Pale blue eyes glinted in the grey dawn light. Eggpaw wanted to close them again, but they were open now and he wasn’t getting back to sleep. If he ended up spending the morning bored out of his mind and doing nothing, then it was his fault for opening them in the first place.
So he was awake. What next?
No point staying in his nest.
Sighing heartily, the pale apprentice stood up and flicked the bracken from his pelt, then moved to the clearing.
Just his luck; it was nigh on empty. As was his belly and the prey-pile. It was still a while until the dawn patrols started, so he couldn’t hunt- not that he was very good, anyway. He considered taking a stroll, but he was already on thin ice with the leader, due to his lack of training.
So what, then?
Eggpaw slumped down next to a rock and began grooming himself. Curse the dream that woke him up.
