larkfur was supposed to be hunting, sure, but that didn't mean he was. in fact, he was doing the exact opposite. i will never eat squirrel again, the pudgy tom decided at that moment as he fled from the outraged furry beast.
he hadn't been greatly worried when the little creature had first spotted him stalking in the brush. after all, he'd never been the best hunter; his mother, bearflower, used to say he was more like a lumbering bear than she was. plus, it wasn't unheard of for him to get bored mid-crouch and just call the whole things quits. however, he began to realize something was wrong when the tan squirrel swiveled around as quick as a lightning strike and charged towards him. naturally, larkfur was terrified.
after a couple minutes of chase, the brown and white tabby started to wonder how he would taste, seeing as the squirrel was never going to give up and obviously devour him. would he be fatty? stringy? maybe he'd taste like all the other small animals he'd eaten in his life. he fondly remembered the time when his mother brought an egg back from the gathering, saying it was a gift from one of her cliffclan friends. it was the most delicious thing he had ever tasted, and it honestly depressed him that he'd never get another chance to eat one again, seeing as he was going to die.
however, lady luck appeared to save the horrified tom when he spotted an important landmark of their territory: the treebridge. oh thank starclan, and even thank the squirrel's god for sparing my life. normally, the warrior would be a little worried about jumping onto the bridge highway (he always felt like he was going to get horribly lost amongst all the fallen logs), but this time he was just thinking about escape from the hellbeast that was practically gnawing on his tail. leaping onto the first, and main, log with the grace of a newborn foal, larkfur scrambled over the dry bark towards the second before taking a deep breathe of relief. as he turned to look down at the beast with a smug face, he suddenly realized,
"oh, yeah. squirrels climb trees." mousedung.
