One of them was on his branch. He crept forward, placing each paw as delicately as possible as he inched closer to the bird. Worry sparked in his pelt as he felt as a gust of wind rake through his fur and he realized that any heartbeat now, the bird would catch his scent. [color=DAA520][i]I'm not downwind![/i][/color] The bird twitched its feathers against the wind then jerked its head in Spidernose's direction. [color=DAA520][i]I have to try now or it will get away![/i][/color] He used every ounce of strength in his hind paws and launched himself towards the bird. He was barely able to sink his claws into the thin skin of the bird's wing and pulling downwards, he slammed the bird down against the branch and delivered a killing bite that cracked the tiny animal's spine. Triumph flooded through Sunfur's pelt and he nudged the bird off the branch to land on the snowy ground at the base of the tree. Slowing his breathing, he scanned the barren tree for the other bird, but it was gone. He had hoped they could catch both of the birds, but maybe he had been too confident. Whatever the case, he was pleased they had caught even one.[/center] [center] Digging his claws into the trunk of the tree, he clumsily slid down the tree until he was a few tail lengths from the ground, then jumped down landing in a deep swath of snow. Trudging towards the base of the tree where the ground was clear, he gazed up the tree and meowed happily [color=DAA520][b]"Spidernose you can come down! You did a great job!"[/b][/color] He padded a few paw steps around the tree to retrieve the bird and buried it under a heap of snow. [color=DAA520][i]Fernstar will be so pleased![/i][/color] Focusing his senses, he opened his mouth to taste the air. If they could figure out which direction Stormheart had gone, they could tail him and see if they could catch any prey he may have missed. Sunfur hoped the tom had caught at least 2 pieces of prey to add to the bird he and Spidernose caught, but in a leafbare as harsh as this, he didn't know what was realistic to hope for. The Clan was cold and hungry and now that they had trhee loners in camp, there were even more mouths to feed. Although, he thought [color=DAA520][i]Those loners have survived until this point, they can hunt for themselves. Why should we sacrifice our prey for strangers when our warriors and apprentices need it?[/i][/color] Irritation pricked in his paws and he shook himself from this thoughts. Where else might they be able to find prey?[/center]
