Fallingstar skidded to a stop just before she reached the warren. She looked behind her, panting, to see if Oceanbleu had followed.

Oceanbleu was speeding on Fallingstar's tail, and when she suddenly stopped he had to jump to keep from hitting into her. He landed on his feet, of course, on the other side of her, panting. He turned and looked at her with a face that resembled a grin. His tongue hung from his mouth in a dog lik way as he panted.
"That was a close one." He gasped as he began to prance around to keep his lungs working. He sniffed around as he walked, hoping to pick up a scent. He noticed his stomach was hurting from hunger.

Fallingstar grinned back at him, "Yeah it was." she agreed. She watched him with an eyebrow raised, "Having fun?" she asked, teasing playfully.

Oceanbleu looked up at her alertly. She was standing there, watching him. He did something with his shoulders that lookes like a shrug.
"I thought we were hunting." He said, walking over to her to see what she wanted to do. He didn't know how she hunted, but it must not have been the way he was doing it.

Fallingstar brushed her tail against his shoulder reassuringly, "If you prance about like that, you'll scare all the prey away." she said warmly, smiling. She dropped into a crouch and crept closer to the warrens, not seeing any rabbits yet. She waited, hiding behind a small bush. She kept completely still, her only movement a soft rise and fall of her flanks. A rabbit peeked it's head out from one of the tunnels, it's nose twitching and it's ears perked warily.
Fallingstar motioned for Oceanbreeze to stay still with her tail, and the rabbit loped out, unsuspecting. It hopped nearer, and she pounced, dashing after the rabbit, who had taken off running. She quickly caught it, snapping it's neck with a swift, merciful bite. She brought it back to Oceanbreeze and dropped it at his feet proudly, "Your turn." she said with a smile.

Oceanbleu gaped at the feline as she attempted to show him how it was done. He watched her, impressed with how little time it had taken her. When she dropped the rabbit at his feet he smirked. She thinks that was something. He thought, standing tall and walking gracefully past her. He didn't need to crouch, or assume the 'hunting position', because of how big he was, he could run almost as fast as a medium sized dog. He had muscles too, so there was no problem.
Sticking his nose in the air, he caught scent of the rabbit. It was coming from the same hole Fallingstar had just retrieved hers from. He glanced back at her, then pranced forward, only taking three large leaps and already at the hole. He didn't bother to wait for the rabbit to come out. Instead he let loose a savage growl, scream, and hiss, all mixed together. Within a second two bunnies, a large one and a small one sped from the hole. He turned quickly, bent low, with his leg muscles quivering in anticipation. At the perfect moment he sprang loose, shooting through the air. When he hit the ground his teeth also hit the rabbit's neck, and he chomped down hard, biting a main artery and killing the bunny instantly.
With pride he trotted back to Fallingstar, his tail raised high. He dropped the kill at her feet and licked the blood off of his chops, watching her with unwavering blue eyes.

Songbreeze had watched Fallingstar pounce on that rabbit in mere within a matter of seconds. While in an amazed trance, she watched as Oceaenbleu snap the rabbit's neck. Songbreeze had watched, impressed. She breathed a sigh of relief to herself. 'Their hunting style was similar to her own, maybe she wouldn't look as awkward and out of place as she thought she would.', she thought to herself.

Fallingstar turned her nose up at the obvious challenge, a glint in her eye, "Do you truly wish to pit yourself against me, Oceanbleu?" she said tauntingly, walking past him and brushing her tail under his chin as she went, "You won't win, I promise you." she grinned at him, hoping he would take the bait.

Oceanbleu watched her, and resisted the urge to purr when she tickled his chin.
"No, I would never pit myself against my leader." He said in a sly voice, his eyes scanning the tree line. He caught sight of something unusual, and picked up a scent as well. Had anyone from the clan said they'd be coming with us? He wondered, his eyes darting around quickly. He wasn't sure who it was, but knew there was a possibility it was dangerous. He stepped towards Fallingstar, making sure she was close in case something attacked. His eyes grew dark and his tail bristled, along with the hair on his back.

Fallingstar opened her mouth to reply when she saw him tense and his fur bristled. She turned to where he was looking, noticing Oceanbleu step closer. She smiled inwardly at the obvious display of overprotection. She had nine lives, she would be fine if anything happened. She scented the air, but couldn't recognize the smell that reached her nose. She felt her muscles bunch up, ready to spring at a moment's notice.
"What do you think it is?" she whispered to Oceanbleu, watching him out of the corner of her eye.
((Did I mention the leaders of the clans have nine lives? Ya, they get them from StarClan (the spirits of their dead ancestors) when they first become leaders and travel to the Life Stone (or whatever I called it...) So ya...))

Songbreeze jerked her mind out of its amazement. Had they seen her? Only then did she realize that they were downwind of her. Mouse-brain! She cursed her sloppiness. What did mother teach you! Too late to move now. Songbreeze lay stock still and hoped that they would ignore her although it was pretty unlikely.

Oceanbleu didn't respond to Fallingstar. Her lack of alertness annoyed him. What does she think this is, a game? Just cause she's got nine lives doesn't mean the rest of us do... He thought bitterly. He would have rolled his eyes, if he wasn't so keen on staring into the trees. He could have sworn he had seen something, so carefully placing one paw before the other, he made his way towards the tree, his eyes wide.

Fallingstar stalked beside her Deputy, sensing that she had offedned him somehow. There I go with my stupid mouth again, getting myself into stupid situations. she thought, angry at herself. She watched the treeline, wondering if maybe a fox had wandered into their territory. But no, a fox would smell much worse.

OOC: Ooh, er, my mistake, her name is still Breeze currentlyXD
BIC:Behind the leafy branched in front of her, Breeze nervously watched the two cats approach. In her mind, she played around with her options of escape. 1. She could fight them and hopefully defeat them. 2. Jump down and run for it. Or 3. Talk to them and then leave. Number one was most likely impossible. There were two of them and one of her. She was in unfamiliar territory as well. Better not to take the risk. Number 3 she had no clue about. These may be really nice cats or they may be really vicious who were only kind to their own kind. Number 2 seemed to be the best option. Make a mad dash towards that rabbit warren...The rabbits running for their holes might slow them up and her small size increased her speed as well. Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves, she gave the cats 3 seconds to back away. 3. 2. 1. Breeze lept from her tree branch and sprinted towards the warren, speeding past the two. Breeze looked back to see if they would give chase to a cat on their territory. What she didn't realize was she had unnintentionally turned and was heading towards Skyclan camp.

Fallingstar saw the vague shape of an unfamilliar cat jump out of a tree and start running for her Clan's camp. Another Clan attacking us? she thought frantically, taking off after the feline. She felt a snarl form in her throat as she ran, no cat attacks my Clan! she hissed to herself, her anger fueling her speed.
