Stellar jolted like he'd been electrocuted. Twisting around until
he was on his back, he stated at the cat, his body still under the
bush. He sat there, staring, then twisted back around, squeezed out
of the bush, looked at the other cat one last time, and bolted.
Twilightpaw jumped to her paws and followed her mentor happily.
Oakenlight was on his way to the Moontree for the half moon
meeting. He wondered if Saturnfeather would bring her
apprentice.
Brighttide left camp a little later than she had wanted and walked
quickly across Tideclan territory. She passed the gathering
clearing and made her way to the Moontree's hollow.
Twilightpaw was silent the whole way, excited to be able to go the
Moontree again. When they arrived, Oakenlight was already there,
his brown fur turned tan in the silver light of the moon.
Brighttide was almost to the Moontree. Her dark red fur was a
silvery-pink color and the black stripes were silver. She loved
being able to meet up with both the other medicine cats and with
Starclan but something seemed off tonight.
Mipha reached were she wanted to go and sat down, watching the
hollow from behind a few bushes. She felt drawn to this place, as
if she had been here once but for a reason that wasn't why she
should have been there.
Darkpaw followed Melodystar out of camp, silently walking along.
She never understood the cats that thundered through the forest,
even when not hunting. She was also alert. Bagers And foxes came
out at night.
Melodystar reached the area where they were going to hunt. There
were many smells in the air so Melodystar turned to her apprentice.
"What do you smell?" She asked.
Dustpaw closed her eyes and inhaled, taking in the sents. " Mouse,
vole... There's a strong sent of pine ... Oh!" Her head snaps up as
she looks at the clan leader. " Fox, but it's faint. Maybe three
four days old."
Stellar skirted the edge of the clan grounds, hoping not to be
seen. If he was seen, however, he could always run away. He glanced
around, taking in his surroundings. He wasn't big on hunting by
scent.
(To everyone who hasn't been active for a while here's a recap: The
half moon meeting for the medicine cats is going on and some cats
are doing night hunting or working on other things.)
Twilightpaw looked at her mentor. "What is taking Brighttide so
long?" She asked.
Oakenlight was sitting still, patiently waiting for the rest of the
medicine cats to arrive.
Brighttide had almost reached the Moontree hollow and felt slightly
embarrassed by the fact that she was late.
