Emberstar padded silently into the forest and paused when she spotted a squirrel sitting near a tree. If I go after it, it'll be up that tree in a second, she thought. The gray-and-white leader flicked her tail at her sister, Streamclaw, signaling that she would go around the tree and chase the squirrel to Streamclaw. Emberstar saw the black she-cat nod and get into position, and so Emberstar snuck around the side of the tree and leaped towards the squirrel.
Streamclaw pounced effertlessly and bit the squirrel's neck. She carried it over to the base of the tree and scratched earth over it to hide it from hungry scavengers. "That was a good idea," she said to Emberstar. Streamclaw was just happy to be out of camp, and with her sister who was always so busy, no less. She looked over at Emberstar and saw that she looked worried. "What's wrong?"
Emberstar glanced back at Streamclaw. "Does it seem... overly hot to you?" she asked. The ShadowClan leader knew it had been getting hot lately, but she had just thought that it was green-leaf going out with a bang. Now, it was well into the time when it should be starting to get cooler.
