The creamy she-cat chuckled in amusement, remaining against the tree. She let out a soft, yet strange noise- almost like a meow but smoother. If he wanted to find her, he'd have to work a little harder than that. Bronco's ears pressed flat against his skull. His hackles bristled, but he pushed them down. This cat could've been one he knew, but he couldn't detect any scents, so he wasn't quite sure. The brown tabby tom leaned protectively over the rabbit he had killed earlier. Bronco's pride was too great to have his prey stolen by any cat, outsider or not. He brushed the rabbit beneath him with a paw as though he were protecting a scared kit. "Who's there?" he growled, but realized he shouldn't be entertaining this strange cat—whoever it was, they were wasting his time. With a last uneasy glance, he started slowly back towards the camp, his eyes darting back and forth. Aki let out an amused giggle, purring as she stretched. The she-cat heard the tom begin to walk away, and silently crept around the trunk to sit at the base of the tree. "I'm there."

"I'm there."Bronco's head instantly whipped around at the unfamiliar female voice. He arched his back threateningly and growled at the intruder, a creamy-colored she-cat. "What are you doing on our hunting grounds?" he hissed, trying to make himself look as big and scary as possible in front of the stranger. He fluffed up his fur defensively, his bristling tail sticking up behind him like a pine cone. The dead rabbit, its body now cold, had been discarded beside him in the grass, but right now bringing home his kill was the least of his worries. What did this stranger want?

She tilted her head, as if she didn't understand what the tom had just said. Looking him over, she decided words were stronger than actions with this one. "Silly, I'm not on your hunting grounds." The outsider pranced forward, letting out a purr as she glanced at the rabbit.

The outsider pranced forward, letting out a purr as she glanced at the rabbit. Something about the strange she-cat's gaze made Bronco even more tense. As her eyes moved to his kill, Bronco swept his tail over it protectively, glowering at her as if challenging her to make a move. "Well, I'm certainly not on yours," he mewed, eyeing her with distaste as she approached. This was where he had always hunted, and no strange cat would stop him now.

"I'm up for another walk."Helios answered cheerfully. Flask looked up."You say something?" Smoke nodded gratefully, rising to his paws as he smiled at Crow and Helios. "I'll let you stretch for a moment, meet me outside," he purred, walking away with a small limp as usual. Whisp suddenly turned on her heels and bolted off, gone within seconds as she disappeared into the trees.

Aki let out another giggle, this one less lighthearted. It was strange, almost lacking effort. "No?" she purred, sitting down and beginning to groom her chest fur. The she-cat paused for a moment, glancing back at Bronco. "You seem on edge, whats wrong rogue?" she meowed teasingly.

Crow gave final stretch and padded after Smoke, pushing through the tall grass that lined the edges of the camp. "Any idea where we're headed?" she asked him, dwindling as she waited for Helios to catch up to them. "Where'd you see Shadi last?"

"Don't you give me that."Helios growled playfully as he followed Smoke.
Flask,without a thought,charged after Wisp,grabbing a mouthful of what he decided was yarrow."Where are you going?"He yowled as loud as he could through a mouthful of leaves and stems.

The she-cat paused for a moment, glancing back at Bronco. "You seem on edge, whats wrong rogue?" she meowed teasingly. "Oh, nothing," Bronco mewed tersely. "Just not used to random strangers in my territory. Who are you anyways?" Bronco eyed the long-furred she-cat suspiciously. What was her purpose in being here? Most cats knew to stay out of other cats' territories at the risk of being attacked. Besides, there were many other places to stay and hunt other than the rogue cats' territory; times weren't so difficult that cats were getting desperate and roaming far to find food. Not yet, anyways.

“Shh, Calypso, you’re so loud!”
The Japenese Bobtail’s head shot up indigantly at Ophelia’s accusation, glaring at her sister from behind a bush. “Says you,” the molly retorted. “Your clambering around has probably scared off half the prey population by now.”
Ophelia opened her jaws to retort but was cut off as a rustling of leaves stole their attentions. Both freezing, the two she-cat’s eyes shifted to where a squirrel sat, nibbling on a nut, unaware of its hunters staring it down. Ophelia crouched instinctively, but was stopped when Calypso whispered, “I’m gonna go for it.”
”Wait, Calypso, I’m-“
The molly was cut off as her littermate shot out of the bushes and hurled herself at the squirrel. The creature let out a squeal of shock and tried to get away, but the feline was too fast. She pinned it down and killed it swiftly, waiting until it was dead before lifting it in her jobs. Calypso looked up at her sister triumphantly; Ophelia only rolled her eyes and said they should get back to camp with that.

He sighed, shaking his head. "Just out to see if we can find her scent. I doubt she's in trouble, that one, but I haven't seen her since last night. I just want to make sure she hasn't gone. Now that I think about it, Whisp and Bronco have been out for a while..." Smoke added with a worried tone.
Whisp suddenly stopped at the edge of a cliff, glancing around with wild eyes as she realized there was nowhere to go. The she-cat was breathing heavily, inches from falling into the rapids of a river.

"I'll be on my way then, seeing as I'm not welcome here," Aki meowed, stretching. Just as she was about to turn and leave, the small she-cat lunged for the rabbit Bronco had caught and sloppily attempted to run off with it.

"Now that I think about it, there aren't many cats in the camp right now," she said with worry. "Maybe we shouldn't split up. I'm not saying anything happened to them, but I wouldn't want an outsider to catch one of us alone." Her worries about the strange scents began to resurface. She didn't want to suggest it and worry the others, but what if something had happened? Could those strange cat-scents be the cause of this?

Whisp glanced over at the calico cat, then back to the water. She examined it closely with narrow eyes, until she was able to spot the peculiar things moving along the water. To another cat, nothing was there, but to Whisp, the glowing fish were anything but invisible. "There! You can see them too, right? I'm not crazy?"

The lanky tom nodded slowly, a nervous look etched into his features. He frowned, picking up his pace as he walked into the woods cautiously. "I agree, let's stick together. Keep your noses sharp for any strange scents, especially you Crow." The young leader glanced around, parting his jaws slightly to drink in the sharp scents around him.

Bronco was surprised to feel a bit of disappointment at the she-cat's words. It was sort of entertaining to have a new cat around, even though she was an intruder. Things back at the camp were slow, and having someone to joke around with lifted his spirits, as much as he wouldn't like to admit it to the she-cat. Lost in his thoughts, Bronco snapped back into reality as the she-cat snatched the rabbit he'd caught from beside him. "Hey!" he snapped, batting at her with sheathed claws. He nudged the she-cat away with his shoulder and grabbed his kill by the scruff. "What do you think you're doing?"

Her eyes were wide, but her pupils told a different story as they thinned. "I- uh, you see- I just-" she rambled, ears pressed flat against her skull. The utter shock of disapointment was flowing off of her in waves.

Keep your noses sharp for any strange scents, especially you Crow." The young leader glanced around, parting his jaws slightly to drink in the sharp scents around him. Crow followed suit, tasting the air for unfamiliar scents, but all she could smell around them was the bitter scent of leaf-litter and a faint tang of dry grass. The only cat-scents she could identify now were the stale but familiar ones left by rogues. Crow frowned. Just days ago there had been fresh scents almost everywhere she went—what had changed? Perhaps a group of cats had been traveling past, and that was what she had scented. A new scent suddenly hit her nostrils and she gagged. It smelled like decay, but had a hint of life to it. Her heart sank—it was the scent of death. But it had to have been days old, she realized; the cats they were looking for certainly hadn't been gone that long, and besides, this scent definitely wasn't of a cat. "Are you guys smelling what I'm smelling?" she asked, her whiskers twitching.

Bronco let his weight off the she-cat as he saw the shock in her eyes. He almost felt sympathetic, he realized. And for an outsider, at that! Was he going soft? "I didn't even hit you that hard," he muttered, taking a step back. He looked down at the rabbit and back at the she-cat. "If you're that hungry, just take it," Bronco said, almost unable to believe the words flowing from his mouth. Had he not just fought for the same kill he was now handing over? But he'd said it now, and it was too late; he wasn't the kind of cat to take back his word.

Smoke hissed as he recognized what Crow had mentioned, the foul smell filling his lungs. "It's not a cat, right? It's not one of them?" he asked, beginning to panic. The hackles along his back were anything but flat as he became anxious and fearful.

The hackles along his back were anything but flat as he became anxious and fearful. "No," Crow said firmly, opening her mouth to taste the air. As much as she hated the scent, she felt like she needed to pinpoint what it was now; otherwise, she'd scared the others for nothing. "It's too old and foul. I don't think it's a cat… it's some kind of animal I've seen before. It almost looks like a dog, but…" Her voice trailed off and she slowly walked forward, the scent becoming stronger with every step. Behind the cover of a large fallen branch, wood splintered around it, a reddish lump of fur lay motionless on the ground. The name of the animal she'd been thinking of registered in her mind. "A fox," she meowed. "Don't worry, Smoke—this animal is no cat." Crow looked down sadly at the helpless-looking body. In life, the creature would've been ferocious, but in death it looked pitiful and sad. "The fallen branch must've killed it."

"You can't be serious..." she meowed, though it was more of a question than a statement. In fact, she'd accept the kill in a heartbeat.

Smoke visibly relaxed, letting out a breath he didn't know he'd been holding. "Thank goodness...Helios, you really don't need to do that-" he began, but quickly stopped as he realized the old tom had already begun to dig. Sighing, he nodded. "I suppose it's not that different from us..."
