Nighttuft watched her apprentice sneak towards the vole. She turned around to look for some other prey. The warrior narrowed her eyes at a crow ruffling it's feathers and crouched, slowly sneaking closer. When she was almost ready to pounce, the bird screeched once and flapped his wings to start flying, but she leaped towards it quickly and caught it.

Dawnpaw quickly pounced on the vole, barely managing to catch the small piece of prey as she gave it a killing nip on the back of its neck

Nighttuft smiled over her shoulder at Dawnpaw as she buried the crow under a layer of dirt. The she sniffed the air again and looked around. She caught the scent of prey and turned towards it, but instead of there being a creature, there was a thin trail of blood leading under a bush. She widened her eyes at it.

Dawnpaw buried her catch under some dirt and followed happily after her mentor, looking confused as she bumped into her mentor “why’d you stop?” She asked as she tilted her head, trying to see what her mentor saw

Nighttuft ignored her apprentice and smelled the trail. It smelled like prey, gladly... The warrior tried to see under the bush, but a thorn poked her nose. "Ow!"

“I think I can fit under there” the apprenticed mewed as she pushed a bit past her mentor to try to go under the bush

"Uh, ok." Nighttuft took a step back, allowing her apprentice mre room. She looked around. Was it a fox? A badger?...Maybe even the headless cat? No, that's just a story. Right?

[Dawneye]

Dawnpaw squeezed her way through, the thorns brushing through her pelt. She smelled a new scent as the blood trail seemed to reach a stop “I don’t recognize this smell... it smells kinda like cat but not quite.” She kept trying to sniff, her mouth open as she looked around

Nighttuft perked her ears, listening for any possible sounds, but it stayed silent except for Dawnpaw. "I wonder if I would recognize it if I smelled it." She meowed.

“Let’s head home so Fawnsqueak can check it out.”

Rubbing Beanpaw’s head gently with a small smile, Grizzlybug turned and trotted back to his pile. The fluffy Tom unearthed it swiftly and grabbed his catches, returning to Beanpaw with a flick of his tail before leading the way out of the thicket and heading back to camp.
