She gripped the rabbit by its scruff and dashed toward the fresh kill pile, her pelt shinning in the sun, it was a little filthy with one or two pieces of fur sticking up but she managed to keep it clean this long. Fallowpaw leaped toward the pile when she was a tail length away and somewhat ungracefully landed in front of it and tossed the rabbit . She puffed out her chest as the pride she felt was starting to actually get to her, her eyes went from cat to cat trying to find hazelflower in hopes that she saw her catch . Her ears perked up once she finally spotted her mother , her tail swished happily before she raced towards hazel with her tail in the air "mom! Mom did you see what I caught!?! Momma!" she meowed loudly . Fallowpaw pounced on her mother's left paw gently with a purr before she raised her head once more " my first rabbit ! " she meowed . She earned a few glares from older apprentices and some warriors because of how kit like she acted but she ignored it as she enjoyed the moment. |
The felines eyes lit up with joy as she watched Fallowpaw trot into camp, the rabbit hung from her jowls. Perfect timing! She thought to herself, her previous worries and thoughts melting away into loving warmth. Hazelflower couldn't have been more proud of her. "I did see darling!" Her voice mirrored the excitement of the young apprentices. "Your very first? No way! I thought you've caught plenty of them before." The mothers voice was gentle and comforting as she sat up and lifted her paw away from Fallowpaw with a chuckle, only to reach out and scoop the apprentice closer towards her body. A rhythmic purr rumbled in her chest as she nuzzled her only kit, any previous melancholy completely gone. "I'm so proud of you, Fallow." She mewed, her eyes shining. "Now, tell me... how did you catch such a huge rabbit! Growing into a good hunter, are we?" There was a tinge of humour on her tongue.
