Ferncloud woke with a start. Based on the spectrum of light that was seeping into her den she new she had overslept by at least two or three hours. 'Good job, mouse-brain,' she thought to herself as she slowly made her way to the entrance of the den. Slowly popping her head out she scanned the clearing in camp, when she was sure the coast was clear she emerged out into the open. 'I better make up for lost time,' she thought as she headed for the exit of camp.
Out in the open woods the cold wind pierced her pelt, causing her to shiver vigourously. 'Let's make this quick so we an get back to camp,' she thought as she scented the air for any sign of prey. Leaf-bare always put Ferncloud as edge, as it did for many cats, and her temper always wore thin during the cold months . In contrast, her pessimism ran rampant, and she often had thoughts better left alone. She picked up the faint scent of a mouse, having little leads she began to follow it. After an hour or so of tracking she finally discovered its' burrow and made quick work of killing it. "This is pathetic," she hissed as she looked at the mouse, "it would barely feed a kit let alone a warrior." 'Things were never this bad when Obsidianstar was leader,' she thought before quickly reprimanding herself. Onyxstar was ruthless and if he knew she were having thoughts like that there would be no saving her. Besides, like it or not he was her leader now and she should respect him. Shaking the thoughts out of her head she scented twehe air trying to find prey once again.
