Torrentfoot moved swiftly across the sandy surface, in fear of being thrown off his feet by a tornado. Those little things had chased him more than once while out hunting, and he's taken more injuries from them than from fighting. But now he stood much bigger than he used to, and had more experience on his pelt. Torrentfoot however, wasn't the smartest of cats and was bound to mess up at some point.

He dodged the tornado by quickly cutting left, and when he thought he was clear of danger, the tornado looped around and turned toward him! He grunted in anger and sprinted off, this time at double the speed. As he bolted off, his legs twitching with adrenaline, the wind began to die down and the tornado soon disassembled. He let out a sigh of relief and began to trot off, when he scented a rabbit. The rabbit was only a few fox lengths away and it hadn't spotted him. Wow! he thought, what a mousebrain... and at this, he went into the hunter's crouch, and quickly pounced the rabbit. With a swift bite to the neck the rabbit lay limp, and he quickly buried it in the sand and tore off down the hills.

As he ran along, Torrentfoot ended up slowing down and getting lost in his thoughts. How he wanted an apprentice! He had been a warrior for over 4 moons, he should have had his own apprentice by now! But he knew there were not many kits in the clan and for the ones that were, they would go to the more senior warriors. He let the thought pass and picked up speed again, finding another rabbit. He leaned on his back haunches and crept up quietly, killing it just like the last one. Despite it being later leaffall, there was a lot of prey out there. He buried it just like the last and went off.

Shadedlily watched from the bottom of the hill as Torrentfoot twisted and ran from the small tornado. He could not help but smile softly to himself; he did look rather a sight. He padded up the hill, feeling his muscles ripple under his pelt as he exerted himself. The hill was covered with soft grasses, and Shadedlily was glad for the cover; it would help him to blend in with his territory and catch more prey !

He himself, dropped down to into the hunter's crouch. His tail flicked with excitement and mingled exhiliration. He stopped for a few heartbeats, forcing the adrenalin to stop racing so furiously, so he could fully concentrate on the hunt ahead of him. He began stalking the small rabbit he saw near. He was nearly then when.. bam ! Torrentfoot landed just in front of him. He was startled, leaping about a foot into the air. He muttered crossly to himself, before turning to the other warrior. He noticed he had caught the same rabbit he himself had been stalking ! He shook his head before a grin began to force itself through on his face.

'Wow ! That was one thing I didn't expect to leap out on me !' he said jokingly; he couldn't remain cross at the other cat for long. After all, he had probably gotten a bit of a shock too ! He stood up again, having fallen onto his paws when he had leapt into the air. He gave a small yawn, before scenting around for more prey.
