    Crimsonswirl sat on the dusty wooden floor, her whiskers twitching. She had been running from a badger, and she had ended up here. She didn't dare go outside, in case the badger was still there. She was so bored though.


    Crimsonswirl spotted a gray ball of some feathery material and padded over to it. It looked strong enough to play with, she decided. But when she batted it gently, it fell apart. Sighing in dismay, she settled back down. Why does being safe have to be so boring, she thought dully.

    <blockquote><blockquote>[size=1]A large deep brown cat padded steadily toward the old house where he planned to have a good hunt. He would surely find some juicy big rats in there, seeing as no twolegs were about. Maybe some mice would be hiding away in there too. The thought brought a new wetness to his tongue and he drew his tongue around his maw with eager hunger. His heavy paw steps slowed as he caught the scent of another cat. Sighing heavily, he trudged forward and poked his head through a smashed window. Jumping through with more grace than it seemed possible for a cat of his size, he took another sniff of the air. "Hi there!" Somehow the reserved tom managed a bright and cherry smile. This she-cat seemed unhappy enough for the two of them.[/size]</blockquote></blockquote>

    Crimsonswirl's ears perked up as she heard the tom's voice. "Hiya!" she meowed brightly, a perky smile planted on her face. "Is the badger gone?" she meowed, a hint of fear in her tone. She wiggled her stumpy tail in greeting, blinking at him cheerfully. He seems nice, she thought optimistically.

    <blockquote><blockquote>[size=1]Oak stumbled backwards, staring at the she-cat with wide eyes. "A badger?!" His brown fur began to bristle with fear as his eyes flickered around the cabin. "You brought a badger here?" He spat, ready to flee if needed. The steady beating of his heart became eratic and jumpy as he waited for the large creature to burst through the door and snap each of the cats up in its mouth, crushing their skulls with its huge paws. He shivered, his large brown paws planted firmly on the ground as he un-sheathed his hooked claws.[/size]</blockquote></blockquote>

    "I didn't bring it here," she laughed, managing a smile. She had been so scared! "It chased me here, but I think I lost it." She twitched her whiskers in satisfaction.

    <blockquote><blockquote>[size=1]Oak nodded slowly, still not satisfied but relaxing quickly. Glancing around, he scented the air. He'd been right, there were alot of rats around. "How'd you manage to find a badger. We should probably talk to Elliefang about that later?" He asked as he slipped in to a crouch. Rolling his eyes, he realised the Sunclan leader was already on the hunt for a fox and when he'd left the camp she had been looking for a cat to use as bait. Maybe they could tell her about the badger later... Pouncing on a fat looking rat, he bit it's neck and dropped it by the she-cat. It was a decent size, especially big compared to most things found in leaf bare...[/size]</blockquote></blockquote>

    "Thank you," Crimsonswirl meowed, smiling at the tom. She cut a piece of its fur off with a claw before sinking her teeth into its flesh. "[b]Yes we probably should tell Elliefang later.[b]" She pawed the pile of fur over to the wall, her eyes bright.
