Ice on {Speckled} Roses - {Frozen, Frail, Red}

ooc| "hoping that Frailheart wouldn't follow her and cut the rat off from the left."

Is that supposed to mean that she hoped that Frailheart wouldn't follow her, or that she hoped Frailheart wouldn't cut the rat off from the left?

"Coming, Ten?"

Er, yeah...

Gosh, I think she means she hoped Frailheart would come at the rat from the opposite side.

Yup, that's what I meant.
I edited the post so that it would make more sense. ^^;

[Gosh]

ooc| Sorry I never got around to responding to this .___.

Frailheart hesitated but ended up swerving to the left, cutting the rat off. She wasn't sure whether this was the right thing to do but she felt that this early in the rat hunt, a mistake wouldn't be fatal. 'I hope, anyways,' she thought to herself as she ran. 'I've got to look like I know what I'm doing.' And so she put a confident expression on her face, not bothering to ponder on whether it was fake or not.

The rat leaped over a stone to evade the yellow she-cat and kept going, but the cats had formed the beginnings of a circle. Now they just had to tighten the formation. Keeping pace, Frozenheart double checked their positions - Redstream behind, Speckledclaw to its right, and Frailheart to its left. Then the tom dove toward the rat. He didn't expect to pin it at first pounce, only close the distance. The wiry rodent made a quick turn toward Frailheart and began to dash between her and Redstream.

ooc Frozenheart didn't catch the rat, right?

bic
Redstream tensed and got ready to pounce at the rat, seeing it speed right towards her and Frailheart. She crouched into position, hoping that Frailheart would read her body language and not pounce at the same time.

The rat neared at the same time Redstream felt her instinct and adrenaline pumped up a hundred times. She leapt towards the rat.

[Ten]

ooc| Of course he didn't. That would be too simple.

With an alarmed squeak the rat scrambled away from her, toward Frailheart. However, Redstream's claws had just brushed the rat's hindquarters, leaving faint scratches. If she were quick, she could clamp down and pin it to the ground.

[Darky [Megan]]

ooc Catch that dang rat, Frailheart! =D

bic
Redstream felt her claws grazing the rat by just a little and grunted in disappointment, hitting the dust. She hopped up onto her feet, ready and alert.

Speckledclaw watched the scene carefully. The rat might be tiring. It certainly was slightly injured now. If Frailheart managed to catch the rat, it would be quite impressive. The warrior rather thought that that she-cat didn't look like a hunter.

[Ten]

ooc| Gosh, where's Gosh? o.o

[Gosh]

ooc| Oooops.

bic| Frailheart watched the series of events and then, when the rat was close enough, she leapt towards it. She did not really expect for the hunt to be over quite yet but she did hold high hopes for this rat hunt.

It was like time had been slowed - many thoughts were able to pass through Frailheart's head. The she-cat felt good. In fact, she felt younger - stronger, even. The thrill of the hunt rushed through her, and this felt not like a risky idea in order to have some real meat, but like an adventure. Frailheart couldn't help grinning.

'This is fun.'
