The sun was a blazing hot ball stuck in midair, the cause of the scorching heat. Even the leaves, along with the grass, seemed dried up when they usually become brittle during leaf-fall. The rocks at Sunningrocks were not yet hot, but they were certainly warm and were threatening to increase their temperature. An almost white figure skimmed through the trees toward Sunningrocks in hopes of catching some prey.
The figure stopped to catch her breath. Once she did, she pricked her ears, her attention focused on the silent sounds of Sunningrocks, while her eyes were trying to catch a glimpse of a moving creature. For some time, she didn't move, until a mouse came scurrying by with cheeks full of stored seeds and going for another that lay at the base of an almond-shaped rock.
Firestorm bunched her muscles, prepared to leap before the mouse could get away. Judging the distance between her and the mouse, she realized she would need to get closer. Silently, she crept while the mouse sat and nibbled on the seed, it's back and head turned. The mouse suddenly stopped and rose its nose up in the air. Right at that moment, Firestorm leapt, missed, but quickly grabbed at the mouse and her claw pierced through its skin. But one measly mouse wasn't enough to feed her whole Clan.
