Another day, another hunting patrol. The bellies of WindClanners were never eternally full!
Prey was plentiful in the hills. The offspring the bunnies had in new-leaf were now nearing maturity, most were plump on foliage and grass. Ripe for the picking! Aside from the occasionally ghastly scarred or sickly one, there never was anything to bat an eye at when it came to rabbits.
Until today.
A magnificent rabbit sat at the entrance of a tunnel, watching its herd graze with pride. The large bunny was riddled in scars, likely from previous victorious battles fighting off males who dared to challenge him. Yet shockingly, his marks were not the most unique thing about him.
It was his snow-white pelt and intimidating red eyes… a cat who didn't know better may assume his vision had some sort of infection. Yet, he was merely albino. Perhaps it's part of the reason why he remained in the shadows of his tunnel while the others ate.
The creature is intriguing enough for the nearby hunting patrol to be interested in it. Not only was he plump, but he was unique and would make for a once-in-a-lifetime catch!
Only someone in the group accidentally steps on a twig.
Snap!
The ears of bunnies perk up, including the leader of the group. Unlike his companions his eyes do not swell up with fear, he remains cool and collected.
In fact- he was… staring right back at them! A bold and daring look in his eyes, "try me, you can't possibly catch me" his gaze says.
The hunting patrol springs forward for a hunt, the group of bunnies scatters and the leader turns to race into his warren. Many cats would stop in their tracks and not dare follow him into the tunnels, but not this group.
The hunt was on.
(Does the patrol successfully catch the rabbit? Do they fail? Regardless, they are the first cats who dare to step paw into the tunnels! What tricks or secrets will they learn?)
Leaders note: It would be cool if the rabbit wasn't caught and became WindClan's "Moby-Dick" if you will (a rabbit sought after by tunnelers), but its ultimately up to y'all what happens!
