Running through the overgrown forest.... branches and trees curling out of the way as Spiderpaw raced after a particularly fat and juicy looking squirrel... drool dribbled from the corners of his mouth... the enticing scent of prey flooded his vision... A large smile stretched across his maw as he began to race closer... and closer... and closer until he was basically on top of it! With a final leap, the ebony tom landed on the squirrel, his claws outstretched to cage it from running. Pulling away from his catch to examine it, the squirrel gave a guttural horrifying screech -
Spiderpaw jerked awake, his eyes wild and sleepy as he was startled by his denmates shriek. "Wha- Wha?!" He mumbled though his sleepiness, the panic rising in his voice. "Are we under attack?!" Spiderpaw turned his dazed expression to his fellow apprentice expectantly waiting for her answer. He was nothing but a pair of wide yellow eyes in the dark.

Her ears perked up and swiveled back toward Spiderpaw , her pelt burned with embarrassment ,was she that loud? She burried her face into her paws as her tail swished slowly "u-um....no....sorry...I had a nightmare....that was i-it...." she answered her Australian accent quite clear and smooth. However as silence slowly started to consume them she looked down at her right paw and noticed that it was shaking , she sighed and placed her left paw on to it to make it stop. This always tended to happen, when ever she was very nervous and filled with anxiety or times like this, to her it was slightly annoying ....but then again she can't control her body sometimes can't she ? She inhaled deeply before exhaling slowly trying to calm herself and when she thought she was calm enough she looked over her shoulder at the tom "I'm sorry I woke you.....what's your name again ?" she asked with a tilt of her head. She swore she's seen him around before ....only a few quick glances but that was it. Her first impression she had of him was....jumpy....And he looked easily scared ,key word looked as in she could be completely wrong .
Umberpaw yawned a little while after before laying her head back down, she felt exhausted ....it felt like she barely got any sleep and when she tried it was gone in an blink of an eye. Then her eyebrows furrowed in confusion which made her look at Spiderpaw out of the corner of her eye "why did you think we were under attack? You know intruders will try to do it quietly rather than make a ruckus...Everybody knows that....." she meowed quietly . It may have come off as rude in tone but that was the complete opposite of what she was aiming for. While she waited for her answers she began licking her chest fur in attempts in keeping it somewhat clean .
