Ever since Starlingpaw had overheard those warriors talking about the shortage of prey, how hard leaf bare would be for the clan, she couldn’t stop worrying. Thoughts flash before her eyes of Sparkkit sick, dying. She thinks of the kits currently in the nursery, wasting away because they could not get enough to eat and it haunts her dreams at night. She needed to do something. She could not sit on her rear end all day with these thoughts racing through her mind. The clan needed to be strong for leaf bare. That’s what she kept telling herself as she walks next to Granitepaw through the dark pine forest.
She had told him her plan, her worries and he had agreed. The clan needed all the help they could get to have extra prey, especially with the new kits. She glances at him with pale green eyes and smiles lightly, a gesture that only pulls at one corner of her mouth, too nervous for the full thing. “Th-thank y-you for for come-coming wi-with me” she stammers out as they make their way to the carrion place.
When they arrive at the fence line she casts a look around. It smelled rank here, but she had heard that this was a good place to find rats. She had heard that in the past, when food was short, other cats had come here to improve their chances of making it through a harsh leaf-bare.
Nervously, the black and white she cat shuffled her feet. Surely nothing bad could happen to her right? Not while she had Granitepaw with her. They would catch a few pieces of prey and return to the clan as heroes!
