Rabbitwhisker bustled around the camp, clearing twigs and leaves so the clearing would be, well, clear.

The warrior glanced at the fresh-kill pile. Hmm, she wondered, should I go hunting? I should go hunting.

She didn't necessarily want to go without permission — in case she was needed elsewhere — so Rabbitwhisker trotted on over to Witheredstar's den.

"I'm going to go hunting!" the bobtailed warrior chirped brightly. "I'll be back soon!" She listened for a response, hoping she wasn't interrupting her leader from something.

Rabbitwhisker shuddered, recalling the awful creatures. "Yeh, I don't think I want to go alone." The warrior leaned back her hind legs and looked around the camp. She looked back to Witheredstar.

"Uh, no one else seems to be up . . . Would you like to come? If you're not busy, of course," she added, a little hurriedly. Rabbitwhisker just didn't want Witheredstar to think that she thought the leader didn't have better things to be doing.

With a bounce, Rabbitwhisker was on her paws. She trotted to the the camp entrance, flicking her short tail. I wonder if we'll seen any of those . . . things while we're out, the warrior thought.

They were SunClan; they could drive those hyenas out! And she wouldn't need to worry at all, with her leader by her side.

Rabbitwhisker headed out into the territory with Witheredstar.

Oh, she hadn't expected to be the one choosing. Rabbitwhisker hurriedly thought of where they might go. Where had been the least hyena sightings? Or, should they go somewhere with . . . more hyena sightings? Surely not.

Rabbitwhisker realized she was kneading the ground nervously as she thought. She stopped herself, lifting a paw and shaking it. "Well, how— how about over near the Watering Hole?" the brown warrior suggested. Rabbitwhisker flicked on ear; she hadn't meant to stammer.

When Witheredstar nodded to Rabbitwhisker, indicating the she-cat take the lead, she got the sense she might be getting tested. Rabbitwhisker straightened and squared her shoulders. If she was being tested, then she would try to prove to her leader that she was a fit and able warrior.

So, she did take the lead, headed in the direction of the Watering Hole, tasting the air every now and again to check for prey nearby. She resisted the urge to fall back and let Whitheredstar take charge.
