Creekstar padded lightly next to Moonlight. She didn't dare move up to walk with Phantomspirit- the cat seemed distant, yet concentrated. The leader would not break such a trance.

Moonlight gazed at Phantomspirit. She seemed so mesmerising, with the way she walked. He looked down at his own paws which were big and made a lot of noise unless he concentrated. [[ooc// yeah, my post was bad  ]] |

Phantomspirit heard Creekstar and Moonlight behind her but some how was almost unaware of their presence. To others it would look as though she was wandering aimlessly through Riverclan territory but she did have a goal in mind. Today she wanted to challenge herself, she wanted to catch something that she had never caught before. A bird.
Her trance was broken by the screech of a nearby bird and her entire body stiffened. She knew where it was but not how to get there. It was near the middle branches of a tree and she had only dared to climb one once in her life.
The air was soft without so much as a trace of wind. It was early spring and the sounds of new life surrounded a young black apprentice. Phantompaw had just begun her training and it was the first time she was sent to hunt on her own. She was barely six moons and her mentor wished to know her abilities.
Above her a bird sang out, it voice like bells on the wind. She padded forward cautiously, her whiskers twitching gently. Carefully she began to climb an old oak tree, her claws digging deep into the scarred bark. She edged toward the bird silently and still it did not move. The bird flew off in a rustle of feathers as she was about strike and her paw hit empty air. She tried to catch herself but there wasn't anything solid in front of her.
She cried out as she plummeted to the hard ground below, unable to see when and where she would land. She landed hard and her right foreleg snapped. She lay crumpled on the ground, still and at first glance lifeless.
For weeks she lay unable to move in the medicine cat den, desperately wishing that she would walk again.
The cautiously approached the tree that the bird was in, sinking her claws deep into the bark. Her memories flashed by in her mind but she pushed them aside. She steadily began her climb upward, happy that the bird was on a lower branch. She approached from the branch beneath the bird, judging the distance by its smell and its song.
She gathered her strength and pushed off from her branch. Her claws dug into the bird's flesh and she landed lightly on the branch that had been its perch. Her tail whipped back and forth as she steadied herself. She killed the bird swiftly and slowly made her descent to the solid ground below.
As her tiny paws touched the ground a small purr escaped from her chest.

"Wow! Amazing catch," Creekstar breathed, suddenly remembering long ago when Phantomspirit first had tried to catch a bird. She purred along with the blind cat, and happily noted that Moonlight seemed light-hearted, too.
OOC: Wow Lone.... amazing RP... mine sucked.... not in a musey mood today.... just wait until school starts though XD

Phantomspirit turned happily to face the others. "Thanks," she said after she had put the bird on the ground. Her eyes were bright and cheerful and the tip of her tail twitched slowly.
Inside her spirit was soaring. Her heart pounded when she thought of how she had accomplished one of her goals.
[Thanks Swifty. Don't worry, this post sucks. It happens to everyone.]

"Well, we should keep going, huh?" Creekstar looked to the other cats for either agreement or disagreement, but something in the in the water caught her eye. A fish! She slipped up to the water, waited pateintly, and then struck a paw in. Something silver flashed and fell onto the grass.

Phantomspirit heard the small splash made by Creekstar's paw hitting the water. She could smell the fish as soon as it was out of the water and clearly heard it hit the ground. So far the totals went as follows: Creekstar=2 Moonlight=0 Phantomspirit=1

Creekstar smiled at her catchand threw it in the little pile the three Warriors had made. Posting her attention back to the water, Creekstar saw a fish and flashed out again. It swam away, startled. "Fox-Dung!"

Moonlight was feeling embarassed, the others had both caught prey and he hadn't even had so much as a scent of one! Just as he thought this, the scent of water vole passed him and he stalked it eagerly. The vole saw him but he was too quick for it. He placed it gently on the pile along with the others prey, feeling slightly proud of himself.
[ooc// I felt bad for him not having caught any prey lol]]

OOC: XD it's okay
Creekstar congratulated her deputy on the nice catch he had made, and then stood up, gazing at her reflection in the water. A gray cat stared back at her, and she made a funny face, giggling. Suddenly she felt her warriors' eyes burning through her pelt. "Errm..."

Phantomspirit heard Creekstar giggle as she turned to congradulate Moonlight on his catch. A small frown appeared on her face. What's so funny? Her head tilted at an angle as she attempted to understand the cause of Creekstar's laugh. She turned to Moonlight, giving him a questioning look.

Creekstar realized that Phantomspirit couldn't see the face she had made. "I.. umm... made a funny face, and you could see my reflection, too." Creekstar felt bad as she explained to the blind cat.
OOC: I feel really bad... I forgot phantomspirit was blind... *looks guilty*

Moonlight smiled reassuringly at Creekstar. It was hard to forget the pretty she-cat was blind, she was such a remarkable warrior.

"So," Creekstar said, trying to change the subject, "Keep hunting?" The RiverClan leader walked down the shore, not waiting for an answer, her paws hot with embarrassment. Monlight had tried to reassure her, but she felt bad.

Moonlight knew his attempt at reassurance had failed by his leader's expression. He waited beside Phantomspirit, until she moved.
[[ooc//bad post :/ sorry]]
