Great Stone

The Great Stone is a great place to bask in the sun or to go hunting. It is in a patch in the forest close to the border of IvyClan.

  1. Songheart peered from over the rock at a squirrel nibbling a seed.She smiled and slowly hunched down,watching closely.The squirrel stopped and raised it's head,sniffing the air.Songheart flashed out and caught it in her jaws.She quickly bit hard on it's back and it fell limp in her jaws."There."Songheart scooped a hole in the ground and buried her kill for later.

  2. "You saw that, Skypaw? I want you to try that... Can you scent any prey near by?" She waited as the apprentice sniffed the air carefully. "Now go and try to hunt it." She ordered after Skypaw dectected the scent of a mouse.

  3. Songheart swung her head at the sound of more scuffling.She saw a mouse at the base of the rock."It must have not heard my kill earlier."She purred and began to stalk towards it.Her hind paw stepped on a stick,making aloud snap."Fox-dung!"She hissed at herself when the mouse scurried into a burrow.Songheart shook her fur and stood,hoping no one else noticed her mistake.

  4. "Otterpaw!" he called. "Watch this. We have many mice in this forest, so I want you to practice stalking. Like this." Stormwater hunched down, quietly moving his paws on the ground, avoiding dead leaves and sticks.

  5. Songheart felt her fur get hot with embarrassment."Sorry about scaring that mouse."She rumbled a purr.

  6. "Don't worry about it. Everyone makes mistakes." Cloverstreak purred sympathetically. "Ooh! I hear a bird over..." she trails of to check the scent. "Over there! I will be right back." She stalked carefully over towards the bird. It was a nice, plump pigeon and it was too busy forraging among the leaf litter to notice her approach. With a quick leap, she landed on the pigeon's back and snapped it's neck before it could make a noise. Then she turned back to the clearing to put her prey with the other's.

  7. "Great catch!"Songheart complimented.She heard some splashing and saw fish playing in a stream."Do we hunt fish at all?"She asked.

    ReplyDelete
  8. "Mice! Yes!" he crouched down and slithered forward propelling himself quickly and quietly across the forest floor.

  9. Songheart shrugged when no one answered and flashed her paw in the water.The fish flopped out and she bit it's neck.She un-buried her mouse and put the fish with it.

    ReplyDelete
  10. He snorted, "Of course we hunt fish!" (Stormwater likes to be that way.) "Otterpaw, that was really good. Actually, much better than I thought."

  11. (Okay.)
    Songheart folded back her ears in offense and turned away.(She's sensitive)She sniffed around the cracks in the Great Stone,then felt the sun hit her pelt.Feeling relaxed,Songheart flopped onto the rock and basked."Mouse-dung!"She said in her head and got up quickly."We're hunting."She reminded herself and got down.

  12. He shivered, his fur fluffing up "Thanks! Now what?" he shifted on his paws.

  13. Songheart smelled a thrush and heard it fluttering a few fox-lengths away.She crept forward,then halted when she smelled a fresh scent of fox.Peering through the ferns,she saw a fox with a freshly killed thrush in it's mouth.Songheart's eyes went wide and she backed away."There's a FOX over there!It doesn't smell us yet."She whispered to Cloverstreak.

    ReplyDelete
  14. He pricked his ears. "Otterpaw, Skypaw, stay here. I don't want you two getting hurt."

    -Stormwater

    ReplyDelete
  15. Songheart stared at the hole in the ferns she left when she saw it."I haven't seen a fox in forever.Why now?"She remembered the last time she encountered a fox it killed her parents and brothers.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Lightpaw peered out of the ferns. She had smelled the fox long before Songheart had spotted it, and watched it kill the thrush. She hadn't said anything--why should she?
    It wasn't like the Clan was going to starve because a fox took a piece of prey, and she obviously couldn't fight off a fox by herself!
    Lightpaw snorted and retreated into the ferns.

    ReplyDelete
  17. "Skypaw, Otterpaw. Do as Stormwater says. Everyone else, surround the fox. I don't want the apprentices to get hurt fighting it... Nobody attacks until we have more information on it. We will go and check it out, find out what we can, and report back to Dewstar." Cloverstreak quietly took control because she was head of the patrol, but she kept glancing at Stormwater to make sure what she was suggesting was okay.

    ReplyDelete
  18. He nodded. "Lightpaw, since your here, why don't you run back and tell Dewstar? I wouldn't want you getting hurt," he says as she retreats out of the ferns.

    -Stormwater

    ReplyDelete
  19. "Okay," Lightpaw said, nodding to Stormwater. Me getting hurt?, she thought to herself as she ran off towards camp. Not likely. I could take on a fox with a few other warriors any day!

    ~Lightpaw (is too self-confident lol)

    ReplyDelete
  20. *The warriors creep off to surround and examine the fox*
    "Stormwater!" Cloverstreak hissed through her teeth. "The fox! Look at it. I think it's really sick or injured. It looks like it will die ant moment now. Should we kill it? Or just guard it until it dies?" She turned her huge green eyes on Stormwater and murmured, "We shouldn't make it suffer."
    ~Cloverstreak

    ReplyDelete
  21. "No, I'll do that. You guys gather the prey and head home. I just wonder what was wrong with that thrush," he says and walks towards the fox.

    -Stormwater

    ReplyDelete
  22. "Skypaw." Cloverstreak rolled her eyes, annoyed and amused. "Hey, Stromwater? Should I go with them? I d-don't want to see..." she trailed off, feeling like a wimp. "Or I could stay here and guard you while Sparrowsong escorts the apprentices."
    ~Cloverstreak

    ReplyDelete
  23. Songheart looked at her."You can.I'll stay here.But......it feels so cruel just to kill it.It's so.....sickly and old looking."She stared at the poor looking creature,hunched with the thrush in it's mouth.Even thought she absolutely hated foxes,more than normal cats,she couldn't bear to kill it.

    ReplyDelete
  24. He turned around. "Sure, you guys go, I'll be back in a minute," he says and disappears into the ferns.

    -Stormwater

    ReplyDelete
  25. Songheart nodded and turned away."Come on,lets go."She started fast-walking a little.

    ReplyDelete
  26. "Appentices, come here. Everyone got the prey? Good. Let's go!" Cloverstreak hurried out of the clearing back towards the camp, trying to ignore the feeling of revoltion she felt when she thought of the fox.

  32. Rowanfoot snorted and rolled his eyes.

    >Rowanfoot<

  33. "Let's split up," she says and dissapers through the ferns.

    The shaking of the ferns revealed a mouse scurring out into the open. Mistfire chases after it and jumps squarley on it's back, snapping it instantly. She picks it up in her outh and carries it back to the Great Stone.

    -Mistfire

    ReplyDelete
  34. Icefrost sighed. "Come on Rowanfoot. Lighten up."

    -Icefrost

    ReplyDelete
  35. Icefrost glanced at a plump rabbit hopping along. "Nevermind." she told Rowanfoot. Icefrost sprinted off and soon caught up with it. In a moments glance, she bit the rabbit's neck and happily carried it off to the Great Stone.

    -Icefrost

    ReplyDelete
  36. "Okay." Rowanfoot whispered, than stalked after a sparrow, pinning it's wings acurately to the ground as it was taking flight. He sunk his teeth into it's neek, killing it.

    >Rowanfoot<

    ReplyDelete
  37. Icefrost was already back at the Great Stone, but she didn't see Rowanfoot or Mistfire. She decided to sit down with her prey and wait for them to come back.

    -Icefrost

  38. Mistfire scented the area and found a blackbird nearby. She silently stalked to a tree and climbed up to it. Once she was on a branch high up, she jumped off. The blackbird went into flight, exactly as Mistfire planned and she landed right on it, th wieght crushing it, killing it. Mistfire added this to her pile.

    -Mistfire

  39. After Rowan put down to sparrow he padded back into the forest, hearing a squirrel above on a branch.

    I think i can reach that. he leaped, his claws hooking on the squirrel's tail and he clawed it's throat swiftly, making it go limp and he put that next to his sparrow.

    >Rowanfoot<

    ReplyDelete
  40. She heard another mouse nibbling on some nuts near some tree roots. Mistfire stalked it, keeping down wind, and at the right moment, pounced. She nipped at it's neck and turned lifeless. taking it back to the pile, she waited for Rowanfoot and Icefost. I think this is good, she thought.

    -Mistfire

    ReplyDelete
  41. He spotted another squirrel, killing it quickly and bringing it back to his pile. He nodded to Mistfire.

    >Rowanfoot<

    ReplyDelete
  42. Sighing, Icefrost decided to go back hunting. She scented the air and found a vole nibbling on a seed. Icefrost stalked it carefully and pounced before the vole could run. She bit it's neck swiftly and added it to her pile.

    -Icefrost

  43. Rowanfoot realized they were all here, and maybe they should start heading back when two snarling rouges burst from the trees, leaping on them.

    >Rowanfoot<

    ReplyDelete
  44. Tigerclaw tackled the small tom pinning him easily. "I didn't know you had kits running around in the forest," he snarled.

    -Tigerclaw

    ReplyDelete
  45. Rowanfoot snarled. "I'm not a kit!" he spat.

    >Rowanfoot<

    Swiftshadow snarled at Icefrost with foam flecked lips. She leaped onto the other she-cat, sinking her teeth into Icefrost's neck.

    >Swiftshadow<

    ReplyDelete
  46. Mistfire hears the screeching of cats and runs into the clearing. "Icefrost!" she yowls, seeing the foam that lined the rouges mouth. She knew what that was and ramms into the black cat's side and bites into her neck until it felt lifeless and cold.

    -Mistfire

  48. Icefrost yowled as she collapsed to the ground. Seering pain entered her body in a heartbeat.

  49. Mistfire let go and turned to face the very large and muscular tabby tom.

    -Mistfire

    Tigerclaw knew he could kill the small tom either way, but if he did, he'd be swarmed. He stepped off of him and backed away, saying something before he ran off, "This in't over. Especially for you, kit-warrior. Better watch your back."

    -Tigerclaw

  50. She shook it all off, not waiting for the other warriors and took her two mice by the tail and her sparrow under her chin.

    -Mistfire

  56. "Ok Mistfire. Hey, where's Rowanfoot?" Icefrost wondered.
