Clawface's yellow eyes flicked open. She lifted her head and cast her sharp gaze around her den beneath the Tallrock. She rose and stretched her paws in front of her, yawning and quivering slightly.
She emerged from the den and surveyed the camp. All seemed quiet and well. She sighed as a chill wind blew across her nose. Leafbare was coming; there was no doubt. The air said so, as did the rest of nature itself. The leaves that had once firmly clung to the trees now rested wearily on the ground, and dark, dreary clouds covered the bleak sky. Bare branches rose up in an attempt to pierce the clouds, as if they wished for them to leave.
Clawface put her nose to the ground and sniffed a few times aroud the blackberry brambles that circled the camp. Secure, as ever.
She raised her head again and headed for the warriors' den, nestled safely inside three large trees, that had fallen together to make a sort of beavers' dam-shaped enclosure.
"Night? Are you awake?"

Night slowly rose. "Yes Im awake."
ReplyDeleteClawface nodded. "Good. I'd like you to take a hunting trip with Phantom and Rogue. The fresh-kill pile is lower than I like."
ReplyDelete((I'll play them for now until someone else wants to.))
Night nodded her head sleepily. "OK" She said
ReplyDeleteClawface cast a yellow-eyed glance around the den before she said "Make it quick." She vanished outside the den with a swish of her tail.
ReplyDeleteNight yawned. She got up and prodded Rogue. "Wake up" She said. Then she prodded Phantom "Wake up. She said.
ReplyDeleteRogue let out a small snarl, but he rose and stretched till his ears quivered.
ReplyDeletePhantom flicked one ear lazily. He didn't move.
"What do you want?" He was in no mood for being woken up early.
Clawface pricked one ear and listened silently outside the den.
((Thanks for backing me up in cbox. At least someone here cares how others feel.))
ReplyDeleteNight looked at the two of them. "We need to go on a hunting patrol. The fresh kill pile is..." She tilted her head and looked outside "to small" She continued
((No problem :) ))
ReplyDeletePhantom growled slightly. "Fine." He heaved his body off the gound and swished his tail a little. "Let's go."
Clawface smiled a wolfish smile and sliped away unheard.
