A flurry of leaves and the sound of many twigs snapping filled the air. The three cats turned their heads in the direction of the sound, only to be met with a very flustered Lightfur, paws outstretched as a vole scampered on. It ran straight into Rainfall’s paws, but the tom didn’t bother catching it. “Lightfur. What do you think you’re doing?”
“Stupid vole. I had it! I actually had it,” She shook the leaves from her pelt, a growl rising in her throat. “It was just...too fast! Voles shouldn’t be allowed to be that fast! I swear Rainfall, if this was a hunting patrol I would have caught it-” Her voice cut off as she looked at the chicken Greyscar had at his paws. A chicken. Not the most common of creatures in the forest but a very decent supply of prey. “Y-you caught that? Greyscar?” The tom nodded slowly. “YOU? You are blind? And you caught a chicken?”
“Lightfur. I may be half blind but I am still a better hunter than you,” His smirk caused her to feign a wound to the heart. “Don’t be dramatic, cat.”
“It is common knowledge that I am the best hunter in the Court. How dare you call yourself a better hunter than me?” She took careful steps towards him, her eyes focused on only the tom in front of her. “How dare you call me ‘cat’? I’ll have you know that-” She’d gotten so close that their noses were almost touching, and a quick flick of his tongue against the bridge of her nose had shut her up.
“Calm down, Lightfur. Everyone misses a catch every now and then,” Greyscar purred, quiet enough that Leafstike and Rainfall didn’t hear. “As much as it pains me to admit it, I know you’re a better hunter than me,” She leaned into his presence, resting her forehead against his shoulder. She hated missing prey, but it was reassuring that her mate was on her side, as much as he enjoyed stirring her up.
“I love you,” Lightfur said with a purr.
Greyscar stepped past her, rejoining the other two cats. “I love me too. C’mon, we have some Village Cats to take down.”
Rainfall cleared his throat. “Nobody said we’re ‘taking down’ these cats. I propose we go and investigat\e, and see if they’re friendly nor not. We don’t have to solve everything with violence,” Greyscar groaned, rolling his eyes at the Claw’s words.
“Ever since you became Claw, you’ve become so much more passive. What happened to the ambitious and powerful Rainfall who once fought alongside me against the Bloodfang Pack?” Rainfall dropped his gaze at the mention of that name. Greyscar had no right mentioning that name. Before the darker tom could reply, Greyscar continued. “Is it because you couldn’t save Redfur? Sorry, didn’t.”
“Greyscar, shut your mouth.” Rainfall launched himself at the other tom, digging his claws into Greyscar’s shoulders. “You are never to mention that name around me again. Do you understand?”
“Boys?” Leafstrike piped up. “Can you calm down please? We are on a patrol, remember?” She rolled her eyes as Greyscar stuck his tongue out at the Claw, mocking him. “Greyscar, stop. Rainfall, you stop too,”
“I apologise, my lady,” The larger tom withdrew his claws and lifted himself off the other.
“You shouldn’t be apologising to me,” Her words were bitter. She loved him, sure, but his insecurities surrounding that fight could really get the better of him. Lightfur plodded over to Greyscar, licking his shoulder gently. Leafstrike wanted to do the same to the tom who stood at her side, but she thought better of it. He needed to learn his lesson; they could talk about his actions once they got back to camp.
“So, with all that out of the way, are we going to see what these Village Cats are up to?” Lightfur asked. The other three cats nodded in agreement. Better to check it out and for them to be safe than leave it and for them to be hostile.
