Tansypetal strutted confidently around her new, small patch of territory. She hopped over a few bushes and a hollow tree. A small animal seemed to scurry by but she ignored it. Briefly, she saw a shadow of a mole but dismissed it. The sun was searing on her hide and she smiled, the warm winds have disappeared but the sun always stays shining. She sighed and slowed her pace, wishing her brother was still running with her. She missed very much, every day, she'd find herself thinking about his wonderful personality and the kindness he lent her when he planned an escape with Tansypetal. She sat in an empty sunlit clearing and practiced leaping and pouncing on nearby leaves. She wondered what he would've told her if he was still here. He'd probably say, 'Keep going, I know you've come far and have been through some awful things but I know, I know for a fact, you're tough. Tougher than you'd want anyone to know. I've always been impressed with your humbleness and I trust you'll know no matter what, I'll be with you through thick and thin. Even if you think I'm not there. Love you, sis.' A small tear she was holding in slid down her face. I love you, brother. She slid a sheathed paw across her chest, motioning a promise sign. She sat and thought for a while, hoping for something to distract her from her sorrow. A dark thought crossed her mind, "What if I can't do it, brother?" She whispered. "Why did they have to take you? I wish I'd told you how much you meant to me... you meant everything. You were my everything." Tears dribbled down her fluffy cheeks. Her scars were still sore and new from her escape with her brother. Something gentle touched her paw pad and a small flower petal breezed onto her paw pad as she was crying, staring at the sky. She looked down and looked around. How did the flower get here? She stopped crying and nuzzled it. She knew who sent it and proceeded to put it by her ear. "Thank you for this brother, I will wear it with great pride and never forget your sacrifice."

Smokestorm padded out of the den, greeted the she-cats, and went off into the forest. He'd firmly told them not to bounce in before he awoke. They promised not to disturb his beauty sleep, as Kestrelspeck had worded it. The tom swiftly padded about, drinking in the scents and getting down to business. He told the she-cats to go on either side of him for protection, but not too close to scare off prey. After Sagefluff had gone, Kestrelspeck had given Smokestorm a small lick on his cheek. He didn't expect this and had to sit for a little bit in order to regain his focus. The grey tom pondered what the depths of the forest would hold for him and his clanmates.

Mamoru kept his jaws parted in search of prey. Keeping upwind he scanned the area with precision. Suddenly a mouse came into his vision. The small creature was nibbling on a crumbe that looked to be getting smaller by the second, mamoru wouldnt have much time to plan his attack. The mouse began cleaning its whiskers when he was engulfed by darkness. Mamoru proudly birried his catch for later. Though he knew it wouldnt fill the prey pile completely. +1mouse, +11FP, +1XP

Tag and ripplesong wearily trecked throught the forest behined sunstar and Crowmask. The group was hunting after their great feast the night before. Now the prey pile was dwindling once again and needed refilling. After all there are queens with kits and elders to look after. Ripplesong was the first to catch prey, all that yawning must have helped the scent to fill his nose. Unfortunetly it was only some scraps, still better than nothing for now. +1FP, +1XP
While the others were looking out for prey sunstar found some herbs tucked away in the center of a hollow tree. It looks like somecat might have found it before them but if his clan was in need he couldnt not take it. +1stinging nettle, +1XP
Crowmask was about to pounce on a mouse when tag let out a big sneeze, causing the mouse to notice the cats and scurry on home. Crowmask whiped around with a growl as tag sneezed again. Tag must have become sick from the cool morning air will require 1 herb to cure it, they may be sent out again.

Void caught a whif of something...it smelled warm? Void managed to shuffle his way back through the brambles, catching in his black fur and occasionally pulling out clumps of fur. He grit his teeth so that a hiss of pain couldnt escape past his lips. Now the scent was becoming more familiar. It must be a vole. He followed it cautiously, keeping low to the ground. He swiped his tongue over his jaws as his mouth began to water at the thought of food, all thoughts of his family disapearing in that moment. Although he was a kitty pet he was still fairly good at hunting. Soon he managed to spot the brown vole which was sticking out like a rock in water against the green grass and fallen leaves. Void carefully planed his attack and was soon rewarded with the vole laying limply under his paws. +1vole, +2FP, +2XP
The vole smelled of something else too. Void sniffed at the lifeless body trying to distinguish what it could be. He decided he would retrace the preys steps, but not before hurry it so as no other cats or predators would make his prey their snack. Thankfully the trail led him to some herbs which he remembered a cat telling him about from his dreams +1blackberry leaves, +1XP

And hunting on the moores is just what they did. Pumpkinpelt breathed a sigh of relief as the wind rustled her pelt. The moore made her feel more at home and at ease. While the others trailed behined pumpkinpelt spotted a group of hares below them on the next hill. She flicked her tail to signal the others who were chatting about to one another but quickly were silenced. Pumpkinpelt signaled for dawnheart to flank as she would rush the hares. Meanwhile riftclaw would find some kind of cover in case any hares doubled back while pumpkinpelt rushed them.
They were all in position and began the hunt. Pumpkinpelt leaped and streaked right at the hares. They shrieked with fear as they ran. Pumpkinpelt soon disapeared over the rudge while pursuing. Dawnheart who was to her left reached out and caught a baby hare by the haunches which caused it to tumble out of control and dawnheart swiftly killed it. +1baby hare, +2FP, +2XP
Riftclaw had found a nice bush that was unfortunetly proving usless for hunting but he did find some herbs in the branches +2ragwort leaves, +2XP

This is a reminder for all! Please read
It has come to the attention of us writers that there may be some confusion about how hunger works and i may have attributed to this confusion so i apologize. 10%hunger points are supposed to be given to each cat on the patrol. It may not be split up between cats to equal 10% for example is 2 cats are sent out their hunger should each gain 10% not 5% between the two cats.

𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓤𝓷𝓴𝓷𝓸𝔀𝓷

𝓐𝓴𝓮𝓶𝓲

Akemi felt hunted. All this time she had been on the run, fleeing from her old life. Had it been days, or weeks? It had been warmer when she had been forced to leave, but now the leaves were turning yellow, slowly circling to the ground, rustling under her paws as she sought her path through the woods. The nights were getting colder, too. Soon she would need a place to stay.
Hopefully, she was far away from the Tribe that she would never see a face she knew here. They would probably kill her if they encountered her like this, thin and hungry and pathetic. Maybe they would laugh at her first.
She shook her head. All that was behind her, now. No one needed to know her secrets, and there was no need for her to remember them anymore.
Sniffing for prey, she followed the thin path she had stumbled upon, keeping both eyes open for a possible place to stay the night or even make her own camp to wait out the winter. It did not take a long time sniffing though for her to realize that she likely would not be successful here. There was not a single warm scent in the air, and the only birds she could hear chirping were either far away or too high up in the trees. She would have to continue her search elsewhere.

A short while later, Akemi encountered a small stream of water, vanishing and reappearing as it wound its way through the ferns. Briefly she stopped and lapped up a few drops, then decided to follow it to see if it led anywhere interesting. Building her camp next to a stream would be ideal, if she thought about it. Animals nearby would be forced to come to the water to survive, and even in leaf bare she would never be without food.
Ahead of her she could see the stream leading through a hedge of brambles and carefully picked her way through, hissing as thorns buried themselves in her flesh. She was rewarded, however, for pushing through; a clearing lay before her with the face of a cliff directly opposite, the other side encircled by more of the same brambles she had just forced through. She thought she could make out small openings in the cliffside, big enough for a cat to squeeze trough. Thank StarClan! Her ancestors had provided her with a safe space to stay. It did not look as if anyone else frequented this place, either, though she could make out the faint smell of another cat, a male. It seemed to be a few hours old.
Right as she thought about that, the scent seemed to get stronger and the bushes behind her rustled, a tom breaking through the brambles exactly where she had just a few heartbeats before. He had a vole, and some blackberry leaves in his mouth, both of which he dropped to hiss at her.
“Who are you and what are you doing here?”

𝓥𝓸𝓲𝓭

Void carefully picked up both the vole and the blackberry leaves to bring them back to his cave, purring silently as he walked. He had always been a pretty good hunter, regularly bringing birds and mice to his adoring humans, Still, it was something else to catch a completely wild animal and he felt he was rightfully proud of himself.
On the way back to his camp he noticed a strange smell that had not been there when he left to hunt. It seemed to be … another cat? He felt his hackles rise as he stepped closer to the brambles, confirming his suspicions. There were clumps of cat hair stuck to the branches, reddish-brown in colour. Those were not his. Suppressing a growl that attempted to rise in his throat, he made his way through the thicket as quietly as possible, taking care that the blackberry leaf was not ripped out of his mouth by stray thorns.
On the other side he was awaited by the owner of the hair; a brown she-cat with lighter spots on her chest and her right leg. She was smaller than he was, and thinner, but she could still be a threat.
Void dropped his prey and the herb to snarl at the stranger.
“Who are you and what are you doing here?” he hissed, stepping closer to her.
Her eyes widened and she stumbled back. Weak as she seemed to be, she probably would not be able to harm him, but he was not going to take any risks.
“Who are you to pretend this is your forest?” she barked back at him, the hair on her neck now rising, too.
“I was here first. The forest may not be mine, but this clearing certainly is,” he replied, his tail lashing wildly from side to side. “And I am willing to fight you to get you to leave.”
“Try to fight me, and I’ll show you the might of a tribe warrior. You with your shiny pelt, I bet you have never fought someone before!” the she-cat taunted him, and he growled in reply.
What exactly was a tribe warrior supposed to be? And how dare she say he had never fought before? He had fought with his sister plenty of times, often coming out on top. He had always held himself back with his teeth and claws, but for this brazen stranger he was willing to make an exception.
“Come and find out,” he snarled. “Thin as you are, I only need to blow on you to get out out of here.”
She took a step back, insecurity showing in her eyes, but still she spat at him. “Maybe that is just what I want you to think.”
Void could sense that she probably wanted to fight as little as she did and sat down amicably, though his tail still betrayed his tension.
“My name is Void, and I am alone. This clearing is big enough for the two of us, and there are a few empty caves in the cliff over there where you could sleep. We don’t have to fight.”
The stranger blinked at him. It looked like she had not anticipated this response. She remained standing but seemed to calm down a bit.
“My name is Akemi. Thank you for this offer… I guess? I cannot trust you yet.”
Void tilted his head. “No worries, I do not trust you either. Yet, I have only arrived here today, and I think we both might fare better if we were to work together instead of crippling each other and the both of us starving, would you not agree?”
Akemi huffed, accepting his words. “True. Which of the caves have you claimed for yourself?”
The tom stood back up again and went to fetch his prey and the herb.
“This one,” he explained, his voice muffled, as he walked over with her to the cliffside. He deposited his earnings in the small, rightmost cave, the entrance hidden by ferns and grasses.
“I’ll choose this one, then,” he heard the stranger’s voice from inside another cave, slightly larger, when he exited his den again.
Akemi joined him outside and awkwardly glanced at him from the side.
“So… what now?”
Void laid his head back and tried to find the sun through the trees. It was close to sunset.
“Let us try to find some nest materials to build places to sleep before it is completely dark,” he suggested. “Maybe we can find some prey or more herbs on our way.”
The other cat nodded. “That is a good idea. I tried finding food on my way here, but I was unsuccessful and now I am starving. You know your way around here better, lead the way.”
Flicking her tail toward the brambles she stood back to let him take the lead. Briefly, he thought about the vole that he had caught and pondered whether he should share it with her, but eventually decided against it. They were not friends, they did not even really know each other, and he had no reason to look out for her. If she had made it all the way here from wherever she had come from, she would certainly be able to catch something for herself today.
So, instead, he inclined his head and lead the way back though the brambles.
“I know where there might be some nice materials. I remember some moss over in that direction, and if we are lucky, we will even find some prey or herbs on our way there.”
