The black and white tom padded over to a pine tree, with his catch in his jaws, dropping it at the base of the tree. He turned to Quailpaw. "Did you see what I did and how much strength I used to leap?" he questioned him. |
"
Yeah," the apprentice mewed in his gravelly voice. He felt more confident about his grasp of the move now and he was ready to try again. He paced a little closer to the edge of the clearing, peering through the bracken. Peaty earth sucked at his paws, and he had to step carefully in order to stay quiet.
A flash of movement caught his eye. A lizard slithered between a bramble bush and a low cypress, some tiny creature in its mouth. Quailpaw was instantly ready, and in only a few seconds he had crouched, sprung, and pinned the wily lizard under one paw. "
I did it!" He was so elated he nearly forgot to kill his prey until it wriggled. He leaned over and deftly administered the final bite, shaking it for good measure. "
Thank you StarClan for this prey," he muttered. It would make good eating; the flesh beneath his nose was already making his mouth water.
