OOC; no capitals! -randomness-
--sunfeather--
a long-furred tabby shape padded slowly through the trees, blinking as bright sunlight filtered in through the oaks. it was finally new-leaf. thank starclan leaf-bare's over. well, the clan hadn't exactly been too hungry during the harshest season of the year, but still. sickness had spread. and cats had been grumpy most of the time. cold weather did that.
she sighed and padded forward, suddenly dropping to the ground as she heard a rustle in the bushes. robin's-egg-blue eyes narrowed as a rodent scurried out of the holly--otherwise known as deathberry--bush. its back was to her and she was downwind to it, so obviously it didn't notice her. it was a mouse, a rather plump one for this early in new-leaf. whatever. i won't complain. fat prey is good for the clan, and a sign that newleaf really is here. indeed it was. the trees were budding, showing that new life was beginning. the sunlight was no longer harsh and faint, but now warm and bright. more prey was appearing. all the signs of newleaf weren't exactly hard to see at the moment.
she moved over the undergrowth toward the unsuspecting mouse, paws sliding over the dirt soundlessly. her ears were pricked, and she made sure not to step on any twigs or leaves that might give her away. as soon as she was near enough, the she-cat pounced, dropping onto the smaller creature and killing it with a swipe to the neck before it could even squeal.
