Play it Cool [Closed]

It was later in the night. Sunrise was just around the corner. The warriors of Shadowclan would be getting to settle down for the rest of the night and sleep the day, but not Batpaw. His yellow green eyes scanned the apprentice den, looking for someone, or anyone who would be willing to come with him hunting. He couldn't take sitting in the camp anymore.. Not after the whole Mothglow.. Never mind. He didn't want to think about it. He didn't want the sad looks that the warriors gave him.

Stirring caught his attention as he caught another apprentice moving around as well. He narrowed his eyes trying to figure out which of his den mates it was. Once he figured it out, he softly called out. "Mistypaw.." He waited a moment to make sure the cat's attention was on him. "Come on, let's go hunting." He told the other cat before slipping out of the den, waiting to see if the other tom would join him.

Mistypaw was restless, not quite feeling the need to sleep just yet. He'd settled into his nest, but he wasn't tired at all. Most of the other apprentices in the den had already drifted off, but Mistypaw was awake, trying to keep his restless movements to a minimum.

A soft voice caught the tom's attention, and dark blue eyes turned to the one calling his name. Hunting? Well, maybe he wasn't the only one unable to sleep. Carefully, the dark tom slipped from his nest, following the other apprentice... What was his name... Batpaw, he thought.

"I didn't need sleep anyways, let's go, then." He mewed quietly.

Batpaw nodded, a little excitement in his step from being able to get out of camp, and just be Batpaw for a moment without worrying about the warriors. The tall, lanky apprentice looked back at Mistypaw before looking at the guard to the entrance of the camp. The older Apprentice slipped by the warrior, playing it cool, like they were meant to be heading out. Once they were out of view of the guard Batpaw picked up the pace. "Come on, let's go." It wouldn't take long til they reached a hunting spot.

Mistypaw followed the older apprentice, relieved that they hadn't ran into trouble with the guard. It was easy enough to keep pace with Batpaw as he lead the way, and Mistypaw allowed the silence to stretch between them.

It wasn't long before they reached a decent spot for hunting, and Mistypaw slowed, searching for the scent of prey. The scent of mouse caught his attention, and Mistypaw settled into a crouch, carefully making his way toward the small creature. He just needed to get a little closer, then he could pounce.

The wind changed direction ever so slightly, and Mistypaw stopped himself from muttering a curse as the mouse suddenly paused in its' search for food. His paws landed just a hair too slow as the mouse darted beneath the root of a tree. Mistypaw's ears pinned back for a brief moment in silent annoyance.

Well, there was more prey in the area, at least. Mistypaw turned, scenting for another piece of prey.

Like Mistypaw, Batpaw was quick to branch away to find his own piece of prey. Granted sticking close enough to still scent or hear his partner if need be so nothing bad happened to either of them. Green eyes scanned the terrain for a moment before he spotted a Lizard. Carefully he crouched down stalking up to the lizard.

Despite his crouch keeping him hidden from his prey for the most part right as he moved to lunch at the Lizard, it saw him shift just in that moment before scampering off and hiding somewhere the tall tom couldn't follow. "Rat-brain.." He muttered darkly to himself. This wasn't going well for him so far.

Mistypaw's whiskers twitched in dark amusement. At least I'm not alone in missing my catch... He thought to himself, before turning his eyes to another mouse. Carefully he crept forward again, fully intending on not letting this one escape.

This time he caught the mouse, and the dark-furred apprentice swiftly killed it before searching for a dry spot to hide it. That done, he turned watchful blue eyes both to keep an eye on his fellow apprentice and in search of more prey.

Batpaw huffed to himself before moving on from the spot he just failed to catch a lizard in. His eyes scanning the marshy terrain, while his maw was open scenting the air for anything he might be able to catch. Carefully he moved along, not minding the drying mud clinging to his short fur. The chill setting into his body didn't bother him either.

Finally he found another piece pf prey to hunt. This time a frog sitting on the edge of a puddle, his body moving as it croaked out it's noises. Batpaw crouched low creeping closer and closer hoping to not mess this up again. As he jumped the frog was caught under his paws. As he caught the creature he quickly killed it, and stored it away for him to grab again later for when they returned to the camp.

Mistypaw glanced over at Batpaw briefly, more to keep track of where they both were and where they hid their prey for later. He'd managed to catch something as well, which was good. Satisfied, Mistypaw returned his focus to his own hunting. Batpaw didn't seem talkative, which suited him just fine.

A lizard caught the dark tom's eye, and he briefly debated passing it up in favor of finding another mouse or vole instead. Mistypaw didn't much care for the taste of lizard, but food was food, after all. He carefully crept up on the scaled thing, then pounced once close enough.

A sudden, loud honk! sounded through the pre-dawn air. The lizard forgotten, Mistypaw whirled around at the sudden noise. The bird was large, with a long neck, sharp beak and large wings. As the stars-forsaken thing moved through the trees towards them, it let out another loud cry.

"And there go our chances of catching anything else. What's a goose doing here, of all places?" Mistypaw huffed. The goose moved closer, and realizing it was very much intent on making the two apprentices pay for disturbing it, Mistypaw leapt for it, aiming to land on the bird's back with unsheathed claws before it could get a chance to snap at either of them.

Mistypaw used leap and hold for -10sp, dealing 6 damage. Effect dice: 1,2,3: lasts for one turn, 4,5,6: pinned+damage for two turns.
