collecting herbs{O P E N}

[Moonzzz]

Starpaw walked along the gravely path. rock shot into her paws and a cold breeze made her shiver. She grunted angrily. Sure she could find herbs, but northpointe never specified which ones they needed. She sniffed the air. she smelled burdock. she did remember being short of that. yes defflently(sp?) there was almost no scent of burdock in the medicine cat den. she gripped the plant and pulled it, biting off the roots. she stood, collecting herbs from memory.

Starpaw Tore at the plants more angrily every time. She could probably remember better if not for her being blind. she huffed. and if her mentor had actually come!

suddenly starpaw heard the bushes move. Shadowclan scent flooded her nose, "hello"she greeted, turning around.

Pouncetooth walked through the familiar forest, glad to be back on safe ground again, rather than inside that two leg garden. He shuddered to think back on it, but he had certainly showed the kitty pets who was the boss in this forest. He smirked at that, proud of himself, even if only a little. The wind tickled his long haired pelt and he began to brush up against trees and thinks, to fully hide the scent of blood, among other things that would be noticed.

He decided that it would be somewhat wise to catch some prey, so it looked as if he had just been out hunting on the territory. It did not take him long to pick up the scent of a mouse. Dropping onto his haunches he began to stalk it by scent, then he spotted it. Searching among the leaves for some sort of food. It was so distracted, must have been hungry, an easy target. With a light thud he leaped on the mouse and swiftly killed it. Now he got a better look at it, he saw that it was a pretty shameful looking piece of prey. Oh well. He picked it up by the tail and continued on his way back to camp. As he was passing the medicine cat apprentice he looked around when she spoke to him.

"Oh hello Starpaw." He began politely returning the conversation. "I see Northpointe has sent you out on some errands." He added. He padded over to where she stood, ripping up a plant, obviously a herb of some sort, but he knew nothing about them. "Do you need any help?" The large tom asked. It was always nice to get some help sometimes from a clan mate, not that they were selfish, they just usually had their own things to do.

Starpaw's grin slowly turned into a frown. Why was pouncetooth alone? She took in a deep breath. she just barely smelled some blood, mixed in with tree bark and twoleg scent. She sat down, smashing one of her roots. she winced. Northpointe wont liek that. she became serious, "What are you doing out here alone pouncetooth?"
Starpaw recognized the fact she wouldnt have been able to smell it if she hadnt had such a keen scent. since of course, she was blind, her senses hightened. but she spent so long, feeling sorry for her being blind, she never realized how great she was in other ways. She soon learned that every thing was better being blind. eyes only distract us from what someone is actually feeling and saying.
