Vinepaw-8 Moons
As Vinepaw lay back on the rocky outcrop, he decided to stretch his paws and explore the nearby grass. Not paying much attention, he padded across the ground, his mind still buzzing from his staring contest with the setting sun.
Suddenly, he felt a sharp, irritating sensation on his paw. Vinepaw lifted his foot to inspect it and realized, to his dismay, that he had stepped directly into an anthill. Tiny ants swarmed over his paw, their tiny bites making him wince and twitch.
“Ugh, what’s this?” Vinepaw yelped, shaking his paw vigorously. He hopped on three legs, trying to brush the ants off with his other paw. The insects quickly crawled up his legs, causing him to jump around in a frantic dance.
He hurriedly scrambled away from the antbed, trying to get rid of the tiny invaders. Vinepaw finally managed to shake the last of the ants off, his fur bristling in irritation. He sat down on a nearby rock, inspecting his paws and trying to calm his racing heart.
“Great,” he muttered, looking at the small red bites. “Just when I thought today couldn’t get any more interesting.”
He carefully brushed his fur clean and gave his paws a thorough inspection, making sure no ants remained. Vinepaw took a deep breath and tried to shake off the discomfort, deciding it was best to head back to camp and let his fellow apprentices know about his unexpected adventure.
