• "Ok ShadowClan, hunting time!" Lionclaw meowed. Everybody in Lionclaw's Clan scurried but me.

    "Go hunt, Hollystar. If you don't hunt, you don't get any food. You know that." Lionclaw whispered in my ear. "But Lionclaw sir, I need to speak to you." I murmured. "Well, then speak away, young apprentice." Lionclaw laughed. "Lionclaw, you know I'm not an apprentice, but I'll talk. You know Firestar?" I said, looking at my paws. "Yes, I do. What about that rascal?" Lionclaw hissed. "Well... never mind. I'll tell you after hunting hour." I meowed. "Ok. Go hunt, now." Lionclaw lifted a paw and pushed my back softly, and I sprinted toward my Clan's woods.

    "Hey, Icepaw and Leafpaw! Over here!" I hissed, my claws accidentally coming out. I heard a faint voice saying, "We're coming, Hollystar!" It was probably Icepaw. Just then, I saw a mouse. I squinted my eyes tight, stuck my tail up, bent my legs slightly, and pounced. There was a flash of red, and I grinned. I had killed a mouse. Blood was gushing out its chest and stomach. I proudly took its neck with my teeth and bounded toward Icepaw and Leafpaw.

    "Whoa, you KILLED that? Cool! Can I bite it?" Leafpaw meowed with excitement. I dropped the mouse. "Sure, why not? I bet some starving cat'll eat it all up anyway." I meowed back. When I said 'starving cat', I thought of my big brother Ravencrow. He died of starvation and loss of blood. Yeah, Firestar was in HIS Clan and he killed him, JUST BECAUSE Ravencrow was in MY family!

    "Hey, Hollystar, can I eat your mouse instead of a starving cat from our clan?" Icepaw meowed reluctantly. "Darn it, Icepaw! I'm donating this mouse to the H.C.C.!" I hissed, clawing Icepaw's paw. "The H.C.C.?" Icepaw said, in pain. "Yes, the H.C.C.! It stands for 'HungryCatsClan', DUH!" I hissed, curling my lip in and baring my sharp teeth. Leafpaw looked like she was about to cry. "I was i-in that C-Clan..." She weeped. "You? In the H.C.C.? Yeah RIGHT!" Icepaw laughed. A tear wet Leafpaw's fur. "Really. Hollystar saw me as a kit, skinny and always throwing up hairballs because my parents died and I couldn't feed myself. When I joined ShadowClan, Lionclaw forced me to join the H.C.C. first. You know, before he could decide if I'm worthy enough to become a Warrior." Leafpaw licked her paw and patted her neck. "Wow, that's sad." Icepaw and I said together.
