River's Storm

== River's Storms ==
=== Chapter 1 ===
River bounced up and down infront of his friend, Orbit. River had been abandoned by his parents, while Orbit had just run away. They had bumped into eachother, and after a little bit talking they became friends.
Orbit hissed at him playfully. "Would you quit?" She said sarcasticly. River stopped bouncing. He yawned. "Okay, I get it!" Orbit stood up. She swiped a paw over her ear before padding off. He followed. "So, you do know how to hunt." He said mischievously. Orbit nodded. "My parents taught me before I ran away." She said. "Teach me." He demanded.
"No." Orbit said, firmly. He looked at her, his ears slowly flattening.
"Teach."
"Why?"
"I feel bad."
"For what?"
"You always do the hunting!"
Orbit looked taken back, rather more shocked. "Maybe tomorrow." She said. River hissed in annoyance. "Please?" He pleaded. "Fine." Orbit gave in. Orbit led the way to a more shady area. He looked up at the trees. "Now," Orbit began.
River's head jerked down from looking up, he watched as Orbit demonstrated the hunter's crouch.
. . .
After a long time of practicing, he finally got the hunter's crouch, stalking, and pouncing down. Orbit then tested him on scent. "Can you smell anything?" She asked. He shook his head, then nodded right after. "Good, what is it?" Concentrating, he narrowed his eyes and sniffed. "Mouse." He said confidently, but he wasn't. Orbit nodded eagerly. "Go for it." She said. He crouched down, then stalked towards it. Once it came in sight, he unsheathed his claws. The mouse was nibbling on a tree root. He got a little bit closer. He held his breath as the mouse's head shot up. It looked around wildly. Without taking chances, he leaped forward. His leap was cut short by a branch that hit him. He hissed with annoyance. The mouse scurried away. He picked up chase. A squirrel went up a tree, a bird let out an alarm call, and Orbit called him back. He kept going. He knew he had lost the mouse. He stopped running. He then sniffed the air. Nothing. He padded back to Orbit, disappointed. "It's okay!" She said. He shook his head. "You only scared that half of the forest." His looked up. His tail swaying he padded forward. Luckily a rabbit wasn't far. He crouched. Checking if he was upwind or downwind, he began to creep forward. He pounced with height and landed on the rabbit. He bit it's neck and it went limp under him. He yowled in triumph. He ran up to Orbit with the rabbit. "Great job!"
