{$title} Gorsepaw has chased a rabbit over the border, and ThunderClan's deputy is not very fond of this incursion.
☼ . ° ✦
Gorsepaw missed the barn. It haunted her dreams; the crackling of her home under the fire's pursuit. She craved the unrestricted access to the fields and the mice nibbling there, and the comfort of Alder's flank in the warm, dry hay. This new territory, as beautiful and hopeful it made her, was no replacement for the walls of the barn and the community that formed there. Everyone was partitioned away in their own dens and it felt as if the older cats was a world away.Not to mention that Dustystar had become so important so quickly. They were related somehow, but she couldn't pin down in her mind exactly how that was. Something to do with Cowboy and Chicken. She wanted to follow directions, but it was so new and unfamiliar still. For instance, the rabbit that raced over the border was no longer fair game according to Dustystar. It was in ThunderClan territory. There had been no "borders" at the barn. Meals were freely shared and rarely fought over. Why should borders exist here?
The apprentice sank her claws into rabbit hide, ignored the shriek of panic it makes, and bared her fangs down to quiet the creature. She was ready to happily trot back to Maremane with her prize, but stopped short at the feeling of eyes pressing into her pelt. Gorsepaw glanced to the deep underbrush that ThunderClan was so known for, to see a well-muscled tom prowling from the foliage. His green eyes were sparking with a predatory glare that she could only assume her own held when she pursued prey. "I'll be going now," she bleated nervously, not quite sure what else to say to appease the big tom.
She turned her back and began to warily cross the border when the air is knocked out of her under the weight of a paw bigger than her own. Gorsepaw gave a bark of surprise and wriggled under his grasp, trying her best to escape his weight. The tom, who reeked of wet moss and rotting logs, only pressed down further, and she could feel his claws sink into her pelt.
