Streakstar leaped up onto the Largestone, and planted herself down in the middle of the shiny gray rock. Tail wrapped around her four silvery paws, she found herself no comfort, sitting there. The rock seemed to be stable, but somehow, she had the illusion that it was more wobbly than the naked eye could first see. Straightening herself up, she sounded the familiar call. "Let all those cats old enough to catch their own prey, join here, beneath the Largestone, for a meeting of our clan." Streakstar waited anxiously for the cats (still in camp) to gather around. Her heart thumped in her chest as she realized that maybe only two or three cats would hear her call. But that did not stop her, nor would it delay their meeting. Kneading the Largestone while she waited, the cats of the clan started to gather around, the deputy sitting at the base of the stone.......... [glow=red,2,300]To be continued; when everyone (or at least the deputy) are gathered! [/glow]

Icefur, hearing the call, ran out of her den with Nightpaw running beside her. They took their places in front of large stone.

Poppytail grumbled.
A fresh layer of snow lay as a white blanket over the shoots of olivaceous grass. The grey clouds sailing across a pale blue sky told the story of leaf-bare: for now they had parted to a let a few beams of bent sunlight sweep across the sparkling moor, but on either side of the clarity were faint traces of whitish vapour. The brightness all around burned a blinding hot light but it was cold—very cold. Winds swept across the exposed highly situated lands. All of the smarter little rodents and rabbits were curled up in their burrows, waiting for a warmer time to forage.
Except for him.
Poppytail’s amber eyes darted back to him. He was a buck; a rabbit fat even if it were not leaf-bare. When Poppytail had found the rabbit, she could tell he was of old age and probably an outcast from his warren. She had sent him on his way with a quick bite in the back of his neck and he now sprawled over all of the other fresh-kill as a testament to her efforts. Taunting her, laughing at her, shaking his little cotton-ball tail at her.
No cat had taken the prey, as if they could never finish such a thing. A day had passed, and Poppytail had just about claimed her prey when the familiar words were called. The bicolour she-cat plopped down by a patch of thick gorse and rolled her soft optics up to her leader.
Oh, once this was finished, she was getting that rabbit.

"Attention WindClan," Streakstar called, "I would like to organize some quick patrols. Would anyone be willing to go on a hunting/border patrol? How about you, Poppytail? How about checking the border with the rival clans?"

Nightpaw's attention turned to look at Poppytail. Nightpaw wanted to, Maybe I should speak up. she thought. "I will Streakstar!" She meowed her voice sure and confident, the complete opposite of how she felt about potroling and hunting. Icefur looked over at Nightpaw, she was proud of her, but knew she was scared inside. Icefur gave Nightpaw a comferting purr. Nightpaw noticed it, gave her a nod that she noticed and thanked her.

Poppytail’s stomach had been churning so twistingly that she had nearly missed her leader’s words. At once her mind screamed “NO!” as she thought about the succulent chubby rabbit just waiting for her on the fresh-kill pile, but she knew there was no reason she couldn’t eat later. It didn’t stop her from being saved by Nightpaw. The bicolour she-cat padded closer to the apprentice and nodded up towards Streakstar. “Nightpaw has a good idea, but if there’s trouble…” Poppytail paused to look down at the apprentice uncertainly. “I’ll go with her, Streakstar.”

"Very good," Streakstar mewed, "you may go if you like at moonrise!" Ooc: Moonrise was just about an hour away! (I want you to catch that rabbit, LOL!)

Nightpaw looked up at Poppytail. She nudged her head in Poppytail's pelt to thank her for coming with. Icefur walked off pround of Nightpaw for trying to do become a better apprentice.

Poppytail began nodding to Streakstar’s words as if to shake them off—"you may go if you like at moonrise!” The she-cat’s orange-patched ears swerved to the front and her ebon pupils grew round as stars. A tiny chorus of majestic meowing broke out in her mind and the first glittering souls of StarClan seemed to encircle her heavenward pointing ears. Trying to calm herself and not let her stomach gurgle, Poppytail yowled, “Thank you, Streakstar! You’re the best leader in the whole forest!” Her tabby red tail swung semi-circles in delight as she pounced through the coat of snow to the wonderful warm smell of blood and flesh.
She sank her teeth right into the rabbit’s thick neck, where she had already taken a firm grasp of to kill it the day before. Poppytail’s mouth watered. It was every bit as delicious as she imagined—and a little bit more. She brushed everything out of her blissful reality and plopped down in the patchwork of glittering snow to eat.

Nightpaw turned around to see Poppytail eating the rabbit joyfully. She purred with amusment, and walked over to the fresh kill pile to pick out a bird. It looked so delishious to her, she picked it up and padded over to Poppytail. She wanted to eat beside her since they were going to hunt together, but instead she felt bad if she didn't eat with her mentor. She turned to eat next to her mentor.

Icefur looked at her herbs one more time. Poppy seed She thought franticly. She usually had the herbs all sorted, as she searched quickly for it. With no luck and with out a word to anycat she ran out of her den, out of the clan, in search for poppyseeds. I hope I'll find it were it usually grows in the winter She thought, trying to comfort herself. OOC: Give me a break. lol XD

Nightpaw looked around. Where is Icefur? She is usually around at this time, isn't she hungry? she thought worriedly, she gulped down her fresh kill and looked in Icefur's den. "She's gone." She said quietly to herself. Where would she go for herbs? I'll just fallow her scent. She thought and fallowed her nose, where ever it go's. OOC: LOL thank you fruit loops XD
