The gray she-cat slowly padded through the darkened forest, her maw was clenched together, and her paws lightly clung to the frosty grass below her paws. Her haunches hung low to the ground, the frost raking at her belly. She clenched her teeth, trying to keep away a yowl. Her blue icy eyes slowly detected the twitching ears of a rabbit. Her paws slowly stepped through the grass, freezing her pads more with every step. Her ears pinned back against her skull, her tail slowly swayed behind her to keep her balance.
As she got closer to the un suspecting prey, she could see the faint outline of its shape in the misty midnight air. Slowly, she crept forward. Slinking lower into the ground, her eyes were locked onto the rabbit. Determined to feed her clan. She sprang forward when she was a couple of tail lengths away, even with her poor condition it was no match for her lethal claws.
A small chase was all that took away her strength, as she neared the snow colored rabbit. She hissed, her claws raking along its sides. With a small bite to the neck it hung lifeless form her jaws, she placed it back onto the ground. Licking her maw with satisfaction.

Shiningstar looked around. Fogstorm was no where in site. She thought for a minute and remembered that she sent her out hunting. She sighed and lay her head back on her paws.

Dawnstorm shuffled around with her herbs for a bit. She organized them and and checked to see if she needed t restock. Juniper berrys and Horsetail were low. She would go out now to get some more herbs.

Bumblee, a FlareClan warrior, padded to the border and scented it. The border was recently marked by AuraClan. He smelt the air, the only thing he could smell was the border.

Dawnstorm padded out of her den with Frozenpaw and they headed out along the border. Juniper berrys grew well on the FlareClan border line. She had smelt the Juniper berrys already but she waited to see if her apprentice could sniff them out as easily.

Bumblebee saw the medicine cat coming and scurried off. Shiningstar the called the medicine cat, "Dawnstorm, where are you?"

Dawnstorm looked up, startled. She had not sniffed her leaders scent for the Juniper berrys were covering it up. She peered through the thick bramble bushes and saw Shiningstars fur through the dense leaves. "Im over here! What is it?" She inquired as Shiningstar padded up to her.

She sighed and pulled her away. She decided it was time to tell her." I need to tell you something."

"Well..." she looked down and then looked back up. Her stomach was slightly expanded. "I am expecting kits with Sparrowwing..." she then smiled.

Dawnstorm looked at her happily, "I'm so happy for you! How long ago was it?" She looked at her, her hazel eyes observing Shiningstars health and stomach expansion. The quick check was over and Shiningstar was safe. Dawnstorm would keep an eye on her and make sure nothing happens.

"This was..." she thought, "A half a moon ago." she purred. Thoughts of the kits filled her mind, making a big grin stretch across her face.

Shiningstar pressed her head against Dawnstorms and purred. They have been friends for such a long time, she was the best friend a cat could wish for.

Dawnstorm licked her friends ear and purred. A cat burst through the bushes, it was Honeypaw. A bushel of berries were in her mouth. "Congrats Honeypaw you found the Juniper Berry!" She purred and they padded back to camp. As they padded along Dawnstorm felt the coldness seep through her fur. She shook her fur loose and tried to stay warm. The crisp leaf bare frost had taken over much of her supplies and Greencough was still very highly catchable. There supply of Catmint was low. They would have to go fetch more in the early morning to get some before the frost kills it.
