Chapter 10 - Mouse!

Mothbreeze dropped into a crouch as well, after a moment of confusion I followed suit, I was glad I had because as Splashpaw started to creep forward I realized what he was doing.

He was hunting, I sniffed the air and realized he was hunting a mouse, adrenaline surged through my veins, and I had to dig my claws into the earth to stop from leaping at the mouse, the mouse's heartbeat quickened and at first I was afraid I did something wrong then I realized that Splashpaw was in the air, he landed on the mouse and quickly lowered his head, the mouse squeaked as Splashpaw quickly killed it.

He picked up the mouse and walked over to us, it smelled warm and fresh and my stomach grumbled, Splashpaw looked at me then walked over and dropped the mouse at my feet,

"Here, you can have it." I shook my head even though my stomach growled in protest, "I want to see if I can catch my own, also, I want to make sure the clan gets food as well." Splashpaw nodded and carried the mouse over to a large tree, he started to dig a hole in the ground,

"What is he doing?" I asked. "He is burying the mouse so that something else doesn't get it." Mothbreeze explained, I nodded in understanding, it made sense. "Why didn't you eat the mouse?" "Hm? Oh, I know what it's like to fight for your food, to not know if you will get to eat."
