When she was a kit, her Mother had told her stories about the Clans by the Lake and their ancestors among the stars, but she was never truly convinced they were real. A part of her always felt they were just made up by medicine cats and Clan leaders to justify their decisions and give Warriors something bigger than themselves to believe in. But now she knew that StarClan was as real as the fur on her pelt, and they were magnificent.[/center] [center] When Blackpelt mentioned hunting, she realized how hungry she was. She hadn't eaten anything since she left camp, and she had no idea how long she had been gone for. [color=3CB371][b]"That would be great, yes."[/b][/color] As they reached the bottom of the mountain and began heading back the way they came, Fernstar opened her jaws to scent the freezing night air. Through the cold, she thought she smelled a mouse a few tail lengths away. Under a canopy of crowded trees, just behind a large root, a mouse was scuttling through the dirt, completely unaware of her presence. Waiting for the tiny creature to turn it's back to her, she crouched still as stone, then leapt across the roots and handed squarely on the mouse and killing it with a quick bite. She dropped the mouse at her paws and glanced back towards Blackpelt on the dark path. [color=3CB371][b]"Around the roots of trees is always where you'll find mice, and sometimes small birds. I bet there's more if you scent carefully."[/b][/color] She settled down where she had caught the mouse, and tried to relax. After Blackpelt had eaten, they would hurry back to camp. [color=3CB371][i]And maybe I should talk to him about this "curse" he keeps bringing up. How long has this been going on?[/i][/color][/center]
