The Blossoming Birch tree - Part 1

By Sorrelflower.

Chapter 1
Blossomdew wriggled her haunches, her amber eyes focused on the squirrel, which had it's head in a hole in the ground. It rose with half a nut in it's mouth; it's eyes were confused for a moment, and then they became full of fear. She sank her teeth into it's neck; it wriggled, and then died.

"Nice catch." said a voice.

"Whitebirch!" she gasped. "You startled me." Mintdew saw the tom cat crouched in a tree above, his grey eyes glistening. He was white in colour,  short fur and very light brown and grey markings, much like those of birch tree bark. He jumped down the tree, a coal tit in his jaws.

"Want to go back to camp?"

"Sure." Blossomdew and Whitebirch padded back to the gorge, their prey in their jaws. Blossomdew was a tortoisehell and white she-cat, with amber eyes and long, fluffy fur. She lived in SkyClan, which was now under rule of Sharpstar, as their previous leader, Leafstar, died on the night that Blossomdew was born. The deputy was now Fireflower, one of her daughters named after the famous Firestar, who had come from 'ThunderClan' to reconstruct SkyClan.
