A Flowering Friendship [Closed]

Flowerpaw padded around the half stone. Her mouth open slightly as she scented the air. She was out hunting with Sunflower. After she had asked around it was that warrior who had agreed to take her out. She wouldn't have broken the rules of apprentices never going out alone but she was tempted to if she hadn't received a yes. All the scents of prey around her filled her nose. There were so many things to catch.. She could smell a mouse near by.. birds up in the trees.. Squirrels had been by the stone not too long ago. The birds and squirrels is what she wanted to focus on. Her tree hunting needed a little more work and what a better spot than the half stone? "What do you want me to catch first?" She asked the warrior.

Having accepted Flowerpaw's request to go out and do some hunting, Sunflower followed the apprentice through the woodland territory, keeping his ears perked and maw open for anything out of the ordinary. By the way she kept glancing up at the trees, he could tell she wanted to hunt bird and squirrels more than anything, which unfortunately weren't his forte. But, if she wanted to scale up the trees and run among the branches above, then so be it.

"A-anything you want, just s-stay safe," the meek voiced warrior mewed to the apprentice with a nod.

Having been about to join her, the scent of something strange caught his nose and lifting his tail, he looked around. There seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary, but a shiver shot up his spine when something rustled in a patch of nearby brush.

Stalking forward ever so slowly, the lengthy tom made it closer and closer, so much so that the scent became overwhelming. Prey? No... it certainly didn't smell like prey... Closing in on the plant, the rustling grew silent and then, out of no where, a mouse sprang out of the brush, squeaking as if a mob of rats was chasing after it.

Letting out a yowl of surprise, Sunflower jumped into mid air, all of his short hair standing on edge and eyes wide. The mouse, having been just as scared as the cat it had spooked, scurried away into another bush, leaving the two cats just as quickly as it'd shown itself.

Landing on the ground with his hackles raised and claws gripping into the earth bellow, the tall warrior shot his golden gaze around, not having fully registered what had happened. "I-is it gone?" he mewed quietly, not realizing that he'd spoken aloud. Great StarClan, was that a rabid rat?
