Rabbit! Owlheart scented the air and detected his prey close on the left. He felt the cool breeze of new leaf ruffle his pelt, and for a heartbeat, a ray of sunlight escaped through the mildly stormy clouds to bounce off of Owlheart's fur. Creeping close to the hard ground of the WindClan moor, Owlheart came closer and closer to the rabbit. Quietly and steadily... Just like Cloudfur taught me. Owlheart remembered his old mentor, now the leader of WindClan. He came within pouncing distance of his prey and waited patiently for it to relax and look away just for one moment. Just look away. Now. No? Okay... Now! Aww man... Maybe next time. Now! Owlheart seemed to be playing with the rabbit now, seeing if he could time it perfectly so that he thought 'now!' and the rabbit would look away. Owlheart stopped for a moment, thinking of how ridiculous what he was doing was. The elders are probably really hungry right now... I'll get them this rabbit before they start snapping at the apprentices. Owlheart stalked a little bit closer to the rabbit, who looked like it was ready to run. Owlheart jumped out just in time and just far enough. His paws landed directly on the middle of the rabbit and despite not having a good grip on its velvety fur, Owlheart managed to pin the rabbit down. Thank you StarClan! Owlheart gave thanks to his ancestors before he snapped the rabbit's neck. The large rabbit dangling from his jaws, Owlheart headed back to camp. Maybe he would run into a cat who would talk to him for a while.
