Honeypaw blinked herself awake in the apprentice den, clearing the tiredness out of her eyes. Beepaw and Cloverpaw weren't in their nests, and Foxpaw was just stirring. She padded out into the clearing, the sky a pale blue color. Mumblewing walked over to Honeypaw. "We're going on a hunting patrol with Scorcheye and Cloverpaw." She meowed, laying her tail on Honeypaw's shoulder and bringing her to the fresh-kill pile. "Eat something, then come over to us when you're ready." Mumblewing told her, then walked over to Scorcheye, she was telling him something, but Honeypaw couldn't hear. She grabbed a mouse and bit into it, gulping it down in swift bites. She padded to where Mumblewing, Scorcheye, and Cloverpaw stood. "Alright, let's go." Scorcheye walked out of the camp, the rest of them following behind him.

Cloverpaw and Honeypaw were burying their prey, Honeypaw had caught a vole, and Cloverpaw caught a blackbird. The patrol decided to split in half, that way they could get used to hunting on their own. Honeypaw lifted her head to try and detect some prey, she scented a sparrow, and crouched to stalk towards it. She pounced, but it flew away before her paws hit the ground with a silent thud. "Mouse-dung!" She muttered under her breath, padding to find Cloverpaw with a mouse in her jaws. "Didn't catch anyth--- woah!" Cloverpaw yowled and the mouse flew out of her mouth, and a snake slithered out of the bushes, pulling it's head back to look at the two apprentices. "Don't move, Cloverpaw." Honeypaw whispered to her sister, both of their eyes widened in shock. Then the snake lunged it's head out, reaching for Cloverpaw's shoulder, when Honeypaw jumped at it. She fastened her teeth in it's neck before it could bite her. "Cloverpaw, I did it! Look, I killed the snake!" Honeypaw turned around to see Cloverpaw lying on the ground, her shoulder bleeding out and her body twitching. "C-cloverpaw? Don't worry! I'll go get Ivynose, she'll know what to do.." Honeypaw was shaking, starting to set paw after paw towards the camp, before she heard Cloverpaw's voice. "It's t-too late, Honeypaw. Just let me r-rest.. Then I'll feel better." She stuttered, her voice dull and emotionless. "No, you're not okay! You're going to die!" Honeypaw yowled, Mumblewing and Scorcheye padding over. "What's going on?" Scorcheye demanded, before looking down at Cloverpaw's now motionless body, her eyes staring emptily at the sky. "No, no, no.." His eyes widening in shock, crouching down to grieve for his apprentice. "She's gone.."
