Amberstar streached and padded out of her den. The wind was cold, but she ignored it with a sigh and looked around. The fresh kill pile was small and didn't have much in it. She gazed around and saw the rest of the clan sharing the little bit that they did have. She supposed it was safe to go ahead and pick one.
She dragged out a scrawny looking squirrel and shrugged. She took it back over to her den and started to take a bite out of the furry creature. It was more fur than meat, but it would have to do. |

Limefrost had found a small, plump shrew. She knew it wasn't much, but it would have to do. She bounded through the camp entrance, looking at her Clan. She took it over to the nursery, and gave it to the only queen. Her sister's eyes brightened up, and she took a bite as Limefrost padded out. The hunting patrol was separating to give their prey to the elders and medicine cat. She sat next to her leader, smiling, yet feeling sad. "This is all we can find. The prey is mostly in their dens, keeping warm." she guessed.

Amberstar's eyes lit up as soon as she saw her deputy, Limefrost. The hunting patrol hadn't brought back much, but what they did bring back was barely enough to feed a few members of the clan. "I wonder if we should double patrols daily to increase our chances of more prey..." she spoke softly. "This has been a hard leaf bare. I pray Starclan sends us warm seasons, soon."

Dunecroak shivered, and emerged from her den, the wind buffeting her fur to her side. "Wow, never seen it winder in moons!" Dunecroak muttered under her breath, and scuttled back in her den, organizing the herbs in separate piles, the wind still traveling through her den, irritating her whiskers. "Just stop, for one minute wind.." She grumbled, and pushed her way out of the den, looking at the clearing.

"Hopefully. I found that plump shrew in its burrow. I smelt it, and dug about three tail lengths to find it." she mewed back. She nodded. Leaf-bare meant cold. "Or, we could hunt on that corner of our territory that has the Twolegplace. Those rat-dogs would feed some of us." Her eyes were bright with humor as she spoke.

The sandy colored leader looked over at the nursery. "I'm thankful Starclan hasn't sent us too many kits this season. Kits are always a blessing, but we can't always afford to feed anymore than the cats we have now in the clan" she sighed. She perked her ears at the idea. "Ha! Maybe. If only..." she played along with the sarcasm, sighing.
Amberstar looked over at her medicine cat who was obviously not happy with the wind that was blowing. She couldn't help but to feel a bit amused. "Hello there, Dunecroak! Fine weather we're having" |

Snowheart glanced at her sister gratefully when she gave her the vole. She gulped it down, realizing how hungry she really was after the first bite. "Thank you, Limefrost." she purred, smoothing her white and ginger pelt with her tongue. She leaned over to the two little kits beside her who were sleeping soundly next to her. It wouldn't be long before they'd wake up and want to play. She decided she'd better rest up before they woke up.

Dunecroak slowly gestured at her leader, and nodded. "Surely, if it wasn't so cold." She replied, and yawned. "Just going to collect some herbs, gotta make sure the supply is full, ya know." She added, and slowly smiled. "I'll get going then." She flicked her tail, and padded towards the exit.

Limefrost purred. "You're welcome." She padded softly over to her sister and sit down. She sniffed the kits and lay down. When they wake up, they're gonna go crazy. She wanted to see it.

Amberstar nodded her head to Dunecroak. "I hope you find plenty. With this weather, we'll surely need it if cats get sick" she added, turning her attention back to Limefrost. They approached the nursery, and Amberstar looked down with amber eyes at the two sleeping kits. They weren't very old yet, and they were so precious.
"They're going to make fine warriors one day, Snowheart" she purred, not taking her eyes off of the orange and black bundles. [/size][/color] |

Snowheart wrapped her tail around her little bundles of fur. They squirmed lightly for a few seconds and let out a small whine, then settled back into their sleep. The queen purred, then focused her attention on Amberstar and Limefrost.
"I'm a little worried about these two" she admitted gently. "I mean, this leafbare is horrible... I wouldn't want either of them to get sick. I don't know what I was thinking, having kits in leafbare. I can only pray to Starclan.." she trailed off, not wanting to think of the worst that could happen to her precious kits.

Dunecroak overheard the troubled queen, and sighed briefly. "I must work harder, if Starclan will bless this clan." Dunecroak slowly padded towards the shadowclan exit, and thought to herself, if she would be able to heal the clan in their time of need. She trailed to a dense marshy area, and felt moss prickle at her paws.
