Irisfrost
Irisfrost watched as Floodsight positioned herself behind the rabbit. She dropped into her own crouch and waited, muscles tensed, prepared to leap at the rabbit and chase after it if necessary. The rabbit was oblivious to their presence until Floodsight raced towards it. Startling, it ran- towards her.
It wasn't coming directly at her, but it was easy enough to shift her position as darted towards it. The rabbit wasn't totally oblivious though; it saw or heard her coming towards it and ran in a new direction. But it had come close enough for her to be hot on its heels as she dashed after it, trying to focus on the rabbit while making sure not to trip on a loose pebble and ruin their hunt. Floodsight could still catch it, but the odds would be a lot slimmer. Neither of them were WindClan cats; they hadn't trained for this like they'd learned how to fish.
Her breaths were short and heavy and her legs burned, but they needed to catch that rabbit soon or it would outrun them. Irisfrost tried to put on one last burst of speed, flattening her neck and pinning her ears to her skull. And she was gaining on it. When she was close enough, she leapt. She wasn't used to performing it from a run, but she managed to sink her claws into the rabbit's hindquarters. With it pinned under her, she sank her teeth into the the creature's neck and it went limp under her. The chase had been worth it.
Irisfrost panted heavily, her heart slowly returning to its normal rate as the adrenaline wore off. "Good hunt," she said to Floodsight between puffs. She glanced at the rabbit, blood slowly seeping from the wounds she had given it. She didn't feel like saying anything more until she had caught her breath, so she silently thanked StarClan for the prey.
