[center]Duskwing followed Moosepaw out into the field, fluffing her fur up slightly against the wind chill. [color=f26522]"I agree. We should have enough, at least for now, and padding the dens is just as important."[/color] Padding a little further out, next to Moosepaw, she scented the air trying to pinpoint exactly where the rabbit may be. The sunlight that was now spilling through the breaking clouds lit the field in startling brightness, and allowing her to see farther across it to see the small, hunched shape of the rabbit digging in the snow. [color=f26522]"I'll head around behind it and startle it into a run towards you, if we're lucky it'll run right into your claws."[/color][/center]

[center]Crouching down into a hunter's stance Duskwing crept deeper into the field, keeping her jaws slightly parted and her ears pricked in case the rabbit saw her before she could get close. Taking her time to swing wide around her prey, freezing for a moment as it raised its head, nose twitching before returning to scrabbling at the snow packed ground. [color=f26522][i]Thank Starclan it didn't run yet...[/i][/color]eyes bright, and excitement thrumming through her paws as she finally crept all the way around before leaping towards it with a loud yowl. As the rabbit startled and began to run she chased after it, keeping close on its fluffy tail, and driving towards where Moosepaw waited crouched in the snow.[/center]

[center]Stormheart glanced towards Hawkpaw, concern for the young apprentice warring with his desire to drive the fox out of their territory. [color=00aeef][i]Depending on the size of the beast and how desperate it is, just the three of us might not be enough to win.[/i][/color] Keeping one eye in the direction of the scent, [color=00aeef]"Of course we'll drive it out. We can't leave a fox wandering freely here,"[/color] he turned back towards the thick clumps of brambles and bushes where the scent was strongest, [color=00aeef]"But if Brambletail or I tell you to run and get help you need to do that as quickly as possible Hawkpaw."[/color] The normal nerves he felt slipping away as the threat to his clan filled his mind.[/center]

[center]The fox didn't give Stormheart any more time to decide what to do as it came leaping from the bushes, sharp teeth flashing in the just emerging sunlight. Thick reddish fur coated thick with snow shook as it landed on the ground in front of him. Leaping forward with an angry yowl, claws extended, he slashed at its pointed muzzle leaving a score of bleeding slashes behind. Leaping back just as its jaws snapped shut just in front of his nose, he glanced towards Brambletail and Hawkpaw, as they both leapt into the fray.[/center]
