GROWWL!!! Ugghh... my stomach is getting hungrier and hungrier every minute. I'm going to ask Whitestorm, my mentor, if I can go out on a hunting patrol today morning, right now, so I can eat. In the Clans, there is a rule- 'A warrior shall NOT eat before the weak has eaten- feed the Clan first,'. So while I'm doing the hunting patrol, I cannot eat until I bring prey to the Clan.
I'm going over to Dustpaw to ask if he wants to hunt- since Whitestorm said YES to the hunting patrol.Oh well... Dustpaw's going on a boarding patrol- I guess I have to go alone. We ARE getting low on prey, since for these days we have a lot of starving queens. (Queens are she-cats who are giving birth to kits)So I guess I have to hunt at least 4-5 preys so I can eat more.
When I first went in the welcoming forest, I instantly smelled the waft of prey. I pinpointed the smell- it was coming from the bushes on my right! As I dropped instinctively into a stalking crouch, a great strategy that only ThunderClan cats use,I drew closer to my prey. With each step, as I got closer to my prey, I suddenly realized that it was a vole, actually a water vole. Voles are pretty tasty once you get used to it, since it tastes like ugly rubber on the first time. Anyways, I quickly darted up to my prey, snatched it in my jaws when it tired to run away, and killed it with one sharp bite.
As I buried the dead water vole (We cats bury it so no one can take it, and also we can find it later on), my nose twiched again, telling me that I had found another prey; but this smell was stronger. I stalked over to the undergrowth near my left, I strained to listen for the prey's heartbeat, but only to be surprised that there were three heartbeats- those whom only belong to the mice.I stepped lightly toward the mice, since a mouse can sense your pawsteps before it smells you. I swiftly caught and killed the 3 mice; and I thanked StarClan for its life and for our prey. (StarClan is a Clan where the Warrior ancestors live) I went back to the camp and deposited my 3 mice, and again, headed out for the forest to fetch my buried water vole.
Today's hunting day was pretty good, since I caught 3 mice in a row! That was one of my 2 accomplishments as an apprentice so far. I felt proud of myself, and walked with my tail up high in the air when I brought back my 4 preys. Now I am enjoying a good meal of a chaffinch, since I did excellent in today's hunting.

I thought the intro could be more interesting, but it was still did capture my attention.I could easily find your introduction,body, and conclusion. I liked when you wrote about things that we probably don't know,like what StarClan is.I would suggest that you could have more action going on like all I can see is that Sandstorm is hunting.
ReplyDeleteI think the introduction is pretty catch. You did a really good job on intro-body -and conclusion. I like the part when you were talking about how sand paw was hunting for the prey. They did a really good job.
ReplyDeleteDaisy, your blog grabbed my attention with the interjection you used. YOur blog followed your topic too. The thing I really like about your blog is that you have many pets and the pictures are good. I mostly have no suggestions for you.
