Sunburst's eyes fluttered open as the sun light up the clearing outside the warriors den. The she-cat rose to her paws, arching her back in a stretch and shaking off the moss that lined her nest she headed out of the den into the cooling air. It was leaf fall now, which meant that they would need to catch a lot of prey to help keep their strength up before leaf bare came.
Padded her way over to the fresh kill pile, she picked up a vole and headed over to the side of the warriors den to eat. She noted that the pile was low, she would join the hunting party to head out after she ate but it looked like no cat was around. She knew that the dawn patrol would still be out and she wanted one of the apprentices that was playing outside their den join with their mentor. Gulping down her food she wondered if maybe Hushpelt would go with her. But where had he gotten off too?
