Hunting Snake

[firewrath]

Coby rushed back to the Rocks, stopping only to remark the scent markings. They still smelled like snakes but now there was a ThunderClan scent also developing. He hailed Cobra and told him they wanted a patrol. Cobra ordered Slithers to remain behind on watch and they went in parties of two to the north & South. Coby went with Snake to the south where it was harder and then east and then Rattles & Cobra went North and West.

Stripedfur was out hunting. He had left the patrol he had to check out a strange scent, one of prey. He moved slowly across the bare ground, looking for what he could find, when he smelled the scent of SnakeClan. If they had trouble with him there, they should deal. Yes, he wanted them accepted into the clan, but they shouldn't be taking ThunderClan territory and claiming it is theirs. They needed to be taught a lesson anyway. Despite, once again, him wanting them to join the clan.

Coby and Snake ran past, Coby hot in persuit of a vole, or so it was believed. He wasn't after the vole, no, the robin nearby was his prey, Snake was going to go for the vole. He ignored the cat nearby and got close. The robin relaxed and... Coby leapt! Snag, brought down the robin and before the vole could escape, Snake did the honors. They dashed up the tree and hid the prey up there, continuing on. Cobra and Rattles had already caught a rouge and a few squirrels.

Stripedfur was close to these apprentice-age cats, though he could barely smell them. He didn't care. He was stalking a scrawny little mouse the only thing that he could find in these winter months. From scent, he could tell the SnakeClan cats were having a better time - much better. On ThunderClan food. He thought. He was being dumb if he would let these cats walk away with a feast, when most of ThunderClan was starving. But he wanted them to see him first. So he pawed forward slowly, and then pounced on the little mouse, covering it in the ground.[/size]

Coby then brought over the robin and dropped it in front of StripedFur. "Here. Could you take this and Snake's vole? we haven't caught our food yet but I know the Clan likes this kind of food. We thought we'd patrol our region for food for you guys."


"What are you you doing here?" Hissed Cobra "You abandaned us for Evil and now you come back!?"
The rouge, Pyth stood up and said, "I miss you all but I feel like I would do better helping ALL the forest cats. I just came back to tell you that the forest is a much darker place now. Plots are all over and the two clans I have been near are in hard times. Kits have died and other rouge cats have tried to attack them. Warn your clan, I've yet to warn your neighbors on the river but everyone else knows." Pyth dropped some herbs and berries identified to be Juniper, Marrow, Poppy Seed, and Catmint. "I got these on the way here for your Clan. Good bye." Pyth darted off leaving Rattles and Cobra behind, to continue hunting. They grabbed their prey and the medicine and ran off to the Rocks to drop it off and wait for the others.

Stripedfur sniffed. "While I do appreciate your gifts, it is dishonorable to take them. I will take these, but do remember that if you want to give a gift to ThunderClan, the best idea is to avoid catching it." Taking the food they caught, he sat. They had much to learn, but they just wanted to help. But then he smelled something in a sudden chilly breeze. Rouge? He was off in that second, to discover the source of the scent.

[firewrath]

"Bye!!" yelled Coby then, "Stop!!" yelled Snake, "That rouge is with Cobra and Rattles. They'll take care of it." After a short time the three cats heard a hiss mixed in with a yowl. Coby and Snake looked at each other and ran right to the Rocks, not looking back to see if StripedFur was following.

[Shmifty]

((No powerplay. Stripedfur never stopped))

[firewrath]

((That wasn't a powerplay. He could have still been walking when we left. I didn't mention overtaking him unless you wanted him to stop so whatever you do is up to you.))

[Shmifty]

(('He was off in that second' in my opinion usually represents running, and quickly.))

[firewrath]

((well ok they are not going in the same direction. Pyth is going towards the river while SnakeClan is meeting up at SnakeRocks))

[Shmifty]

((Ok, Stripedfur is catching up with 'Pythe' then. He doesn't know names though.))

[firewrath]

(short for "PYTHon")
Pyth heard faint foot steps padding towards him and stopped, "I'm leaving Co-" He catches a different scent like stronger new scent of his family and halts. "Noble warrior, wherever you are I am heading towards different territory than this."

[Shmifty]

Stripedfur let a low hiss escape from his mouth. "Why were you here in the first place? This is forbidden land. You should know that." He said. He stood, prepared for a fight. Fighting was one of the things he was good at, though he tried to avoid it. He looked at the rouge wondering if her would come back. If he did, then Stripedfur would be ready.

[firewrath]

"I was warning my kin and telling them about my decision to break off of SnakeClan." said Pyth. "My name is Pyth, old warrior of SnakeClan and killer of my father." Pyth then walked away with his ears down in a doglike display of despair. (thanks for the new thread, I'll need it when you're not around and please feed my unis I did yours yesterday and will do it again when I can.)
