It was a gorgeous day out. Sunlight filtered through the canopy of pine above the black and gray apprentice, a light breeze making the leaves sway in the wind and causing the light to dance on the ground. He is mesmerized by it, so much so that it takes the voice of another cat to snap him out of it, to remind him why they were out of the camp in the first place. They were here to hunt, not watch Basilpaw play with the dancing shadows on the forest floor.
He regretfully leaves his new entertainment behind, dropping into a hunters crouch upon seeing a rather plump pigeon pecking at the ground below a tree. He licks his lips as he looks at it, just thinking about what a fine meal the bird would make. He wiggles his rump then pounces, trapping a wind underneath his too large paws.
He couldn’t believe it! He actually got it! The creature thrashes beneath him and he leans forward, preparing to deliver a killing blow when all of a sudden a shadow swoops from the tree above him. The pigeons mate. The bird above him screeches before diving, pecking at him and beating him with its wings. Basilpaw let’s out a cry and lifts his paws to try and cover himself, to defend himself, anything. But lifting his paws only frees the bird underneath him, which joins in on the attack.
He lets out a wail and starts running, crashing through the undergrowth with tears in his eyes as he tries desperately to get away from his two assailants, tears filling his eyes and blurring his vision. Why in Star Clan was this happening? Why him? “help-help me” he calls out, hoping the rest of his patrol could hear him, would come to save him.
Suddenly, he feels something wet on his back. Bird poop. With their bowels emptied the pigeons leave him alone, giving him a final warning squawk before flapping away, leaving Basilpaw sobbing on the ground.
