The sun was starting to set. A stealthy swift figure sat alone, ears pricked up to listen for any sound. It had a sleek-furred brown and white pelt with thin darker brown markings. It was a cat, A WindClan she-cat to be exact. The she-cat's name was Acaciashade. Her amber eyes scanned her surrondings. Acaciashade hoped that no one was near and no one was spying on her. She loved being alone and hated being with others. Acaciashade then caught a scent. Rabbit. A rabbit would make a good meal for one of her clanmate's or herself if she would be allowed to eat the prey she caught. The brown and white tabby stood up and started to follow the rabbit's scent until she came across it. Her mouth watered. She was lucky. The rabbit was out of its den. Acaciashade began to stalk it from upwind, taking light steps each time she moved closer to the plump creature. Once she was close enough she started to chase the rabbit trying to tire it out. Finally she leaped and trapped the rabbit with her claws and gave its neck a quick killing bite. The rabbit lay limp in her paws. Acaciashade then yawned revealing small thorn sharp teeth. She was tired. But then she caught the scent of another cat. "Whose there?" She hissed her teeth bared and eyes narrowing

A little rabbit hunting Rabbitclaw had only seen a couple critters of his namesake. They'd been babies, little and only just having left the burrow- and that'd been nearly ten moons ago. Despite ShadowClan recently capturing the strip of WindClan land, he'd stayed away from the open area. It'd felt strange, leaving the shaded pines of ShadowClan, and the brittle grass was rough and prickly on his paws, a feeling he didn't much appreciate.
But he'd been on a solo hunt along the border when he'd heard the thud of pawsteps and a scent reached his nose. Unfamiliar, WindClan- a strange warrior? The tom's whiskers quivered as he rose from his crouch, picking his way along the trails of tall grass. He was only just on the moor side of the Thunderpath, and it took a few moments of walking to reach open area.
The wiry tom stepped out of the tall grass as he spotted her, a rabbit settled by her paws. He wanted nothing more then to leave the other cat alone, but the code demanded that he challenge her. After all, she was on ShadowClan land.
"I'm Rabbitclaw," He answered her with a soft meow, standing with his head high and broad ears perked forward, tail curled up near his ankles- the image of confidence. "Who're you?"

Acaciashade now remembered, she was on ShadowClan land. The she-cat did not really care. Her amber eyes narrowed at the wiry ShadowClan warrior and her ears flattened against her head. Her neck fur started bristling. Acaciashade let out an annoyed hiss. "What do you want" the brown and white tabby grumbled. Wasn't the ShadowClan tom going to chase her out. She was trespassing onto another clans land.
It was strange to see a cat from another clan so friendly. Is he rabbit-brained. If this was still WindClan land then I would have shredded his ears already. Acaciashade's belly grumbled. I should get back to camp. It would not hurt to just tell him my name, would it. "My name is Acaciashade. And could you please leave me alone!" The tabby snapped, fur bristling. "I thought that when cats are trespassing onto your territory you chase them out" Her eyes narrowed. "So why aren't you doing that. Don't you care about the warrior code at all?" Acaciashade sighed. She did not want to speak anymore but she wanted to say one more thing.
"So why are you being all friendly. Are you afraid to chase me of your territory?" Acaciashade challenged.

A little rabbit hunting He found himself staring at her, tail giving a couple flicks and green eyes widening in surprise. His whiskers gave a couple more twitches and his ears angled back. "I was giving you a chance to admit why you're trespassing," He mewed, muzzle curving into a frown.
Rabbitclaw took a couple long pawsteps forward, green eyes going from wide to narrowed. His fur didn't bristle nor did he bare his teeth, the tom seemed utterly calm. "But the code demands I challenge you, not chase you out," He corrected matter-o-factly, continuing to approach. "But I didn't think I was being especially friendly. I just asked who you were. You have a strange sense of friendly."
He paused, falling silent for a moment before his fur began to bristle along his spine, eyes flicking to the rabbit before back up to her. "If you take that home, you're stealing. You care a lot about the code, you know it says not to hunt on another clan's land, right? You can't take that rabbit without breaking the code." His heart was pattering along at a quicker pace, more excited as he tensed. His muscles stiffened and his legs coiled, just incase. You never knew when you could trust a cat from another clan.
Especially considering she was WindClan. According to his mentor and to Goosefeather, they were far too witty and clever for their own good. Backstabbing rabbit-chasers, though he wasn't too sure. He knew very little about the clan, aside from kit-tales and the fact that they ate rabbits.
"So then, why /are/ you hunting here?"

Her eyes narrowed at the tom-cat. Was he keep going to ask questions. Could Acacia admit that she and her clan were starving. "Why do you ShadowClan cats even want to hunt on the moor. I thought that you cats preferred the pine forests better" the brown and white tabby growled her tail twitching. "The moor should belong to WindClan" Her neck fur bristled.
Even thought the rabbit belonged to ShadowClan now, Acaciashade still wanted to bring it back to the camp, which she could not do without breaking the warrior code. She then spoke again. "Take the rabbit. See if I care! It seems like you want it for your clan more than I do." She hissed. "If I take it I'll only get it more trouble than I'm already in" It was hard to give up a piece of prey that she needed for the clan, Acaciashade would have loved to dash back over the border with the rabbit it her jaws. Acaciashade left the rabbit and began to dash to the border, not looking back at the wiry brown ShadowClan warrior. Should I have done that. The brown and white tabby asked herself. Acaciashade kept on running towards the border.

A little rabbit hunting "Why do you ShadowClan cats even want to hunt on the moor. I thought that you cats preferred the pine forests better. The moor should belong to WindClan"
The tom stood in silence, watching as she continued to bristle. Slowly his hackles raised and the fur along his spine lifted- involuntarily -as she continued.
"I mean, we do prefer the pines, but if there's no food in them there's no point in hunting there." The tom growled out, rumbling tone carrying easily across the open space.
"Take the rabbit. See if I care! It seems like you want it for your clan more than I do. If I take it I'll only get it more trouble than I'm already in"
He straightened up in surprise as the lithe molly turned and ran off, not looking back. His ears flattened and whiskers drooped, vibrant eyes peering after her. What?? What'd just happened? He deflated with a heavy sigh and his lay flush against his skin again, leaving him posed with confusion.
Rabbitclaw continued to watch her as her shape disappeared, his tail lashing around his ankles. "What was that all about?" Came the soft murmur as he padded forward, carefully taking the rabbit's scruff in his teeth. The scent and the warmth that met his tongue made his mouth water, and his belly rumbled- eagerly reaching out with it's claws- though he suppressed the urge to rip into the giant hunk of prey. He liked rabbit, loved it even- but... the code was the code.
Turning he began the long process of dragging the rabbit back to camp, dragging the long, limp body between his fore-paws, leaving a trail of flattened grass behind him. Crossing the thunderpath was going to be a problem, but the tom assured himself he'd make it.
He paused as a monster rolled by, paws right at the edge of the asphalt. He peered over his shoulder, broad ears perking in search of the she-cat's shape. He found it hard to believe she left without a fight- though, she'd mentioned being in trouble. Had she broken the code? He had to wonder... Snapping his attention back on the present, Rabbitclaw grasped his prize again and began the quick, stomach-churning journey across the path.
