Honeywhisker&Zane
Honeywhisker tramped through the undergrowth, uncaring of all the noise she was making. Her stomach cramped with hunger but she didn't feel like hunting, for a light frost blanketed the ground and its cold numbed her paws painfully. Besides, there wasn't any prey to hunt. Zane followed quietly behind Honey, he had a hard time keeping up with her quick pace and his paws ached as well, but he wasn't one to complain.
"I wonder what her problem is” Zane thought concernedly.
The young she-cat stopped suddenly and Zane nearly ran into her. She crouched low and started to stalk forward slowly, her tail flat against the ground, her entire body tensed and ready to spring. Zane could see the mouse nibbling on a large seed, completely unaware of their presence. Just as she was about to pounce the wind shifted and the mouse caught her scent. It darted into its tiny burrow just as Honeywhisker landed on the spot where it had stood.
"Starclan why!" Honeywhisker wailed, her voice full of desperation. "How long must we suffer? Do you plan to let us all starve? I'm so hungry that I can't even hunt!"
Her shoulder slumped and she collapsed onto the ground. Zane rushed to her side and comforted her in the best way he could, laying his head on her shoulder and whispering softly in her ear, "Everything will be OK, it wasn't your fault..."
