Whiteclaw's Tale - Chapter 6

Whitepaw turned to Brownpaw. He was about to speak when Brownpaw interrupted him. "I think we need to head towards the forest, there is always some forest prey there." she said. Whitepaw thought for a moment, before nodding. "Sure, we should try for some birds." Brownpaw nodded and the two siblings padded towards the forest. "I see a sparrow," hissed Whitepaw. "Get into the bush to hide your white fur, I will chase the bird towards you." The apprentices dropped into a hunting crouch. Brownpaw started padded towards the bird. Suddenly Brownpaw leapt. The bird let out a warning call and started running towards Whitepaw. Before Whitepaw could pounce, Brownpaw charged the bird. The bird let out a screech before taking to the sky. Suddenly a small tabby shape raced towards the bird and leapt into the air and snatched the bird from the sky. Rosesweep and Rushclaw burst into the clearing. Whitepaw was yowling at his brother, "You said you were going to drive it towards me, we were supposed to be working together to hunt." Rosesweep nodded. "If it weren't for this tabby she-cat than that prey would have gotten away." Suddenly a cat came charging towards the clearing calling, "Rissa, Rissa." The other cat looked at the clearing. Then she let out a call of, "Princess, Princess it is the clan cats that Serafina and Storm went and joined." At that Princess came padded towards Rissa and her sister. The clan cats were still staring at the cats. "Who are you and what are you doing in our territory?" asked Rushclaw. "Catching your prey for you," snapped the cat named Rissa. Whitepaw padded forward. "Are you looking for Serafina and Storm?" he asked. Rissa turned and growled at him, "How do you know my siblings pet names?" "Don't be ridiculous Rissa," said her sister. "These cats live with them, of course they know their pet names." Rissa snorted and in answer to her question Brownpaw said, "We don't know a Serafina and Storm, I don't know what Whitepaw is talking about." Rissa looked at her sister in triumph. "It is ok, Rissa I have seen this apprentice before. He tried hunting in my garden and Olivia just because they live with them may not mean they know their pet names. They go by a different names now. Darkfinch and Hollytail if I am think correctly." As soon as Princess mentioned Darkfinch and Hollytail the cats nodded. "We know them, they are in our clan." said Rosesweep. They were interrupted by a cat saying, "Who said my name?" said a cat and then the other cat said, "what were you doing hunting in a human garden. My own apprentice, Whitepaw I thought you knew better." It was Darkfinch and Hollytail.
