She sniffed, realizing the scent of thrush was strong. "Oh, sorry. I must have been too loud..." Darnnit! She was still so bad at silent stalking.

"It was my shoulder... again," Stormpaw meowed. "Did you catch anything?"

Sweetpaw shook her head, "No. I did pick up a trace of shrew, but it was heading to the river..."

"Uh..." Stormpaw looked up. "Do you want to hunt together?"

Sweetpaw tilted her head, "Sure! We'd have better luck hunting that way." She bounced to her paws and headed off in the direction of the shrew, "Come on! we could even catch a squirrel if we're lucky!"

"Yeah!" Stormpaw got up and ran after Sweetpaw.
Soon they came to a mouse who was eating something. A nut, maybe. Stormpaw crouched down and circled the mouse, careful that she didn't step on any leaves, or even that her step wasn't loud. She signaled with her tail to Sweetpaw to move in so that if the mouse ran away from Sweetpaw, Stormpaw would catch it.

Stormfang laid down as well, but found it harder to get to sleep. He fidgeted around in his nest, trying to get comfortable. He was tired, but his mind was still very active. Finally, after thinking about about many things, he closed his eyes.

Sweetpaw nodded and crept low to the ground. This was it! Her first official catch! But in her excitement, she lost her footing on the slick leaves. She tumbled over, and the mouse fled in Stormpaw's direction.

Stormpaw hadn't been ready and the mouse dodged her and ran away. Stormpaw chased her prey. I'm not going to give up so easily, she thought, the blood pounding in her ears.

Sweetpaw was hard on Stormpaw's heels, but her shorter legs made it hard to keep up. She panted heavily, eyes wide to try and keep a visual on their prey.

The mouse turned behind a tree and when Stormpaw got there, the mouse was nowhere to be found. Stormpaw skidded to a stop and looked around. She scented the air, but the other scents of the forest mixed with the mouse's and Stormpaw turned around, defeated, to tell Sweetpaw that she had lost the mouse.
