[ti]Open[/ti]To Catch a Mouse

[KingHarry]

Today's aim? To catch a mouse. Robinpaw was certain that he could find and kill at least one all by himself - maybe even two or three if he was lucky! That was why he had found his way to the twoleg farm. Mice were all over the place there, right? Right! That was what he had heard, anyway.

The door the barn had been left open and, figuring that it would be a good place to hunt, Robinpaw and silently slunk into the wooden building. Ah! And there it was, straight away! A flash of a mouse tail! Where had it gone, huh? Into the hay? Instantly, the apprentice dropped into a hunting crouch. He wiggled his rear happily for a moment and then... He pounced!

Unfortunately, the mouse got away. Robinpaw would not let that get him down, though! There would be plenty more chances to catch mice! But, before he could find another rodent, he heard footsteps behind him. The apprentice froze on the spot. "Hello?" He asked, turning around. "Who's there?"

Streamtail had gone hunting.
She ran to the Twoleg farm, because there was an abundance of mice there.
She had bolted around the barn, looking for a place to hide and wait for the mice.
She had been crouched in some hay, when she heard a call.
The scent of MistClan drifted towards her and she stood up.
She padded out, graceful and smooth.
"Little kit, what are you doing here without you mentor?" She asked, her voice like honey.
"After all, kits that stray might get, hurt." Her eyes flashed and her claws extended, digging into the ground.
If he stayed put, she would teach him not to leave camp without his mentor.

MothClan warrior! Instantly, Robinpaw fell into a defensive crouch. He didn't recognise this warrior, but she was not supposed to be on MistClan territory!

"Apprentices are allowed to leave camp with permission." The tom hissed, tail flicking from side to side behind him. Goldenmane had said that he was allowed to go hunting providing that he stayed away from the MothClan border. Robinpaw had thought the rule wasn't needed seeing as he was one of the older apprentices, but fine - he could live with that.

He was nowhere near the border, though! The farm was in the heart of MistClan territory and there was no way that MothClan could even pretend to have a claim on it.  This was his territory and he would fight for it. 

"If you don't leave, I'll tell Bearstar that you're on MistClan territory and she will send warriors out to kill you." Robinpaw threatened, the hackles on his back rising with anger.

[QueenChaos]

She chuckled when he threatened her.
"Oh, a confident young kit." She smirked. She stepped forward. "MothClan has power you know. Your scent marker was weak, and your prey amount is high." She lowered her head to look in his eyes. "MothClan needs food desperately. We've lost so many from that horrid RedCough." She said, trying to sound absolutely heartbroken. She stood up and walked around, keeping her eyes on Robinpaw.
"Surely a, brave, strong apprentice like you wouldn't mind sharing a small mouse or two? In fact, I could even teach you a special technique, if you'd only be so kind as to let me take one, small mouse? Bearstar wouldn't mind, would she? It's just one mouse?" She purred, looking at him.
If this didn't work, she would go tell Mothstar MistClan was begging to toughen up. Taking their territory might not be as easy and before.
