Sorrelsong's face was almost against the cold ground, his breaths coming out in heavy heaves. His senses were alive with fear and concentration as he searched for a hint of prey.
The cold pricked at his skin through his thin fur, the wet snow making his body shiver slightly. "You're not leaving until you catch something." He hissed. It was voiced as a threat, and though it was towards himself, his hackles raised anyway. With a new fear of himself, the tom pushed himself faster, grasping for any indication of life.
The faint scent of rabbit made the tom pause in his tracks. His ears seemed to swivel in every direction, desperate for even a whisper of movement. When none came, he assumed the rodent was in a den somewhere close, hidden beneath a sheet of snow.
"Find it." He growled, his claws now unsheathed. He trailed the scent to small hole in the ground, where a skinny hare sat, unsuspecting. Yes.
With a growl and a lunge, the warrior clamped onto the creature's neck with more force than necessary. It squealed and kicked before going limp in his jaws.
It was just a rabbit.
It was a piece of food that would be gone in a couple days.
But for him, it felt like fucking bliss.
"I did it." He announced softly, it coming out muffled from behind the rabbit's fur. "I did it!"
With a small noise of happiness, Sorrelsong sprinted across the clearing as fast as his legs would carry him. He did not slow until he spotted Nightengaleflight.
"I caught a rabbit!" He cheered, coming to an abrupt halt in front of the molly, snow flying up.
"Look at it!" His breaths were long and heavy, but he couldn't help the wide grin on his face.
"It was just sitting in it's den, and I smelled it and I caught it!"
