Snowheart trotted among the trees, looking for anything, constantly searching the air with her nose, and scanning the forest with her eyes, watching for any movement. She knew she was told not to go out, by Stormeyes, because she was carrying kits. But she was so hungry, and the food in the fresh kill pile, wasn't so fresh, and there wasn't a lot of it.
Then she saw something dash, she lunged, her stomach swinging back and forth as she ran. She was slow, because of the kits inside of her, the animal easily out ran her. She sighed, was she ever going to catch anything? Then something else hopped by, she jumped after it, and clawed for it, snatching it by the tail, she pulled it closer to her, but before she could get her jaws around it, then creature jumped, and scurried away.
Snowheart was now panting, and she was very tired. She had never had so many animals get away from her before. But now at least she had an exuse. A squirrel was sitting by a tree, not too far away, crunching on a nut. She crouched, and stalked it, keeping to the ground, and barely making any noise, she watched it, then licked her lips, and pounced, the squirrel darted up the tree, and she knew that she was unable to climb after it. She looked around for something else, all other animals had escaped. Snowheart sighed, and slowly continued to walk through the trees, looking for something to eat.

Summerpaw was hunting, her green gaze intent on the mouse that didn't smell her. She stalked, and was getting ready to pounce when a crashing noise sent the mouse scurrying. Frustrated, the brown tabby stalked off to see what the ruckus was.
"Hey! Could you-"
Then she realized it was Snowheart, and let her spiteful reprimand trail off.

Snowheart heard something behind her, she looked over her shoulder, and saw Summerpaw, "Hello, Summerpaw." She panted, "I was just trying to catch myself a snack, but, I haven't had any luck, these little kits are making things quite difficult." She smiled, "What are you doing out here?" She carefully sat on the forest floor.

Summerpaw nodded.
"I could help you, Snowheart!"
Summerpaw was a very good hunter. She weaved through the trees fluidly, and saw a rabbit munching on pine needles(?!). The dark tabby crouched, her green eyes locked on her target. She stalked, and pounced. The rabbit didn't even know what hit him as it died in Summerpaw's jaws. She carried it over to Snowheart.
"Is this good, Snowheart? I could get more if you need any more."

Snowheart looked softly at Summerpaw, "Thank you, that's great. But, you don't have to do that, your probably hungry too." She glanced at the rabbit, the smell of the gresh meat pouring up her nose, she sniffed in the scent, and sighed.
She smiled at Summerpaw, "You didn't really have to do this, but thanks." She swished her tail greatfully.

Summerpaw licked the queen's ear in comfort.
"It's okay, I wanted to." said the dark tabby.
The queen probably had trouble catching stuff, and since Hawkstorm died in front of her, Summerpaw kept having urges to help other cats and be nicer. Which felt sort of weird.

Snowheart looked tenderly at the cat, "Thank you, I'm very greatfull. I've just been so hungry since I've been carrying these kits. They make you drag quite a bit too. But thank you, Summerpaw." The she-cat thankfully licked the side of Summerpaw's head, then looked at the rabbit, it did look so good. She bent her head, and took the first bite, it was warm, and fresh, she took another chuck, and glanced up at Summerpaw.
Snowheart licked her whiskers, "Why don't you have some?" She sat straight up again, not wanting to eat anymore, until Summerpaw had taken her share too.

Summerpaw kneaded her paws in the dirt. The tabby apprentice didn't know if it was right to take a queen's food.
"You need it more than I do, Snowheart. You're eating and hunting for more than one cat."
The smell of the rabbit was tantalizing, and made the apprentice's belly rumble. She hadn't eaten, not at all. She had hunted for the elders and for the Clan. She had upheld the warrior code.
But why did it feel wrong to take some of this rabbit?

Snowheart tilted her head to one side, and looked fondly at the apprentice, "It's okay, Summerpaw. I'll still get something to eat, and you need to eat, just as much as I do." She nibbled off some more of the rabbit, and nudged it toward Summerpaw, "Just have some, please? It'll make me feel better."

Summerpaw sighed.
"Okay..."
She sunk her teeth into the rabbit. OH StarClan that tasted so good! She was so hungry!
She took another bite and cleaned her whiskers, looking around guiltily.

Snowheart smiled, "It's okay, really. Have as much as you want." She licked her whiskers., and bent to take another bite, it was so warm, and fresh, and good.
She licked her muzzle, and took another bite, chewed then swallowed, then she bent to take another bite, licking around her mouth as she chewed, she licked up the scraps that had fallen around the rabbit.

Summerpaw exhaled, making her whiskers stir. She took another bite of rabbit. She hadn't ever really realized that she was this hungry.
"So, um...how many kits do you think you'll have?" the tabby apprentice mewed.

Snowheart looked up at Summerpaw, and licked her muzzle, "I'm not sure. It'll be a surprise. I want some, but not too many..." She glanced down at her stomach, "I don't know how many I can handle." Snowheart looked at the apprentice, smiling.
Then she dipped her head to lick a peice of loose flesh hanging from the rabbit, she bit off another peice, and chewed. She thought she had been so hungry, but apparntly she wasn't. The she-cat sighed at Summerpaw, "I don't know how much more I can eat. I think I'm going to go back and rest. You should probably head back to camp too." Snowheart slowly stood, wincing, and took a step away from the rabbit, "We should bring the rest of that to the camp." Snowheart mewed.

Snowleaf padded over to the two cats."How are you?" she asked the two cats.

Snowheart glanced at Snowleaf, "We're fine. We were just eating quickly, and we're taking the rest of this back to the camp." She nudged the rabbit with her nose, "Unless you want some." She looked at her swollen belly, "I'm full. And I think I'm going to head back to camp to rest, Summerpaw are you coming?" The she-cat smiled at the apprentice, and turned to walk back to camp, looking over her shoulder.
OOC: By the way, the kits Snowheart is carrying, are due on the 12th, so after that we can't really continue this roleplay anymore.

Summerpaw nodded.
"I'm full too."
She bounded off to camp.
