 Dewburst
[Dewburst padded out of the camp, grumbling about as usual.
He lifted his head and let his senses wander about.]
Hmm, two queens. Conversing somewhere to my right... And ...rabbit!
[His eyes scanned the clearing and spotted the young rabbit.
He started to run, then faster and faster until his paws felt lighter than air.]
[But something dark would always chain him to this earth, unable to let him fly, fly away...]
[Regret burned his heart, weighing down his paws, leaving him tired and unable to catch his prey.]
"Foxdung!" he hissed.
He realized that he was now only a few pawsteps from the two queens, their ears were pricked.. so they had heard him.]
[Sighing, he padded over. Surprise flickered in his eyes as he looked at the queen Sweetmoon.]
"A mouse? Even when you have kits in your belly?" he meowed with genuine curiosity.

SweetMoon picked up her mouse and turned around. She dropped her mouse to speak. "Oh... Hello DoveFlight. I am SweetMoon. Yes i am a BreezeClan queen." She said. She turned to the warrior that had spoken. *DewBurst is his name* She thought. "Uh... yes. I caught it. im pretty surprised myself acctually. but i was able to catch it." SweetMoon smiled.

Dewburst
[Dewburst had known Sweetmoon ever since he was a 'paw'.
And he genuinely respected her. But he was not about to be done in by a queen!]
[Flicking his tail, crouching as if about to pounce on a mouse, he mewed...]
"Bet I can catch a rabbit before you get back to camp!"
[And so he flicked his tail in farewell to the queens he raced off in pursuit of a rabbit.]

SweetMoon laughed. "I accept that bet." She called after him. She twitched her tail from side to side wondering if perhaps she might be able to catch a rabbit as well. SweetMoon sighed. *i could never catch a rabbit they are too fast.* she thought to herself.

Dewburst
[He smiled at the laughter in Sweetmoon's voice.
He longed to have someone important in his life.
To protect them.. or to distract him..]
It's slowing down.. he thought as he saw the rabbit taking shorter leaps.
It's time to go for the kill. he thought, his eyes gleaming.
[Bunching up his muscles, not wanting to think about it, he leaped high in the air until he was right above it.]
[Landing squarely on it's back he made a quick bite to the neck to insure a painless death.
Feeling his paws racing back towards camp he wanted to slow down but he paws kept going!]
[Tumbling down the hill he landed in a furry heap at the camp entrance.
Shaking himself in embarrassment he hoped no one had saw him.
Looking around camp he felt good, no one was --]
"Oh no!" he grumbled, as he caught the laughing eyes of Sweetmoon sitting at the nursery entrance.]

SweetMoon stopped herself from laughing. Still DewBurst was able to tell she saw what had happened. SweetMoon looked away avoiding Dewburst's gaze. SweetMoon waited for him to come and boast or for hin to drop and run seeing as his pride was crushed.

Willowstar gazed at her Clan. Dewburst had just come back with a rabbit and Galespirit was slinking off again.

Wavepelt just sat in the warrior's den watching the events. Wavepelt suddenly laughed when he saw the cat from earlier come into the camp. Clan life was confusing but it seemed somehow like the best way for him. Like he was born to live in the clans. He bounded out of the den and decided to catch some prey for the clan.

Dewburst
[Dewburst was opening his mouth to speak when he saw a cat out of the corner of his eye.
Dropping the rabbit at Sweetmoon's paws and blinking a goodbye, he padded up to Willowstar.]
"Willowstar." he meowed "Welcome back. The gathering is finished I assume?"
He'd expected her to be away for a while longer but he would rather have her at camp anyways.
"Oh and may I have a word?" he meowed looking at her clearly for the first time in awhile.

SweetMoon nodded as DewBurst blinked goodbye.
she took the rabbit from him and began eating it. * he is a strong warrior despite the mistakes he makes* SweetMoon thought.

"Of course, Dewburst. Would you like to come in my Den?" Willowstar offered. *I'm bringing this cat to the Gathering, next time* she thought.

Wavepelt caught the scent of rabbit nearby and dashed in the direction the scent was coming from. He crept up to the rabbit and by the time the rabbit dashed away Wavepelt was less than a tail length away. He pounced and bit it's neck ending the chase quickly. He caught a few mice and then brought it all back to the camp. Why does this all seem so normal to me, maybe it's those stories Wavepelt remembered the stories told by his grandfather about the clans. I remember there were rules, a code, with how many parts, Wavepelt tried to remember all the codes he was told as he padded into the camp.

Dewburst
[Dewburst followed Willowstar quietly into her Den.
Once they were both settled and Willowstar was crunching into a rabbit contentedly Dewburst began to talk.]
"Well it's actually about Wavepelt. The loner.." he trailed off embarrassed.
[Gathering his strength, he pounded on.]
"He deserves as much a chance as any other cat to become a warrior. There's something about him that just fits so naturally into clan life. I mean just now I saw him leaving camp to catch food for the clan! Food Willowstar, for a bunch of cats he hardly knows." exasperated, he sighed unable to challenge Willowstar any further.
"I-I'm sorry Willowstar, there's just so much potential in him. We just can't let him go." he meowed.
[Dewburst was secretly hoping to mentor this cat.
He thought that that was fair, after all he had brought Wavepelt back to camp.]

Doveflight worked as long as her paws allowed her to, only managing to catch a rabbit and a squirrel. She carried the prey in her jaws as she prodded forward. about halfway to camp, she froze, and a ripple of pain shot through her. the prey dropped from her mouth as she fell on her side, letting out a piercing yowl that echoed across the forest. the kits?! now?! this can't be possible, i still have half a moon left before i should even Be in the nursery! Her limbs trembled, as pain came through her once again.
