Chapter 1-
Hawk sharpened his claws on a tree branch. "I'm so hungry..." He growled. It was leaf-bare, and not a lot of prey was around. Hawk sighed. He would hunt. Hawk prowled through the cold, frosted morning ground. Leaves crunched beneath his paws. Hawk tasted the air. Shrew! Following the tracks, Hawk snaked up to it, killing it in a swift bite. The shrew was scrawny, and it was starved. Hawk ripped off a piece and swallowed. Yuck! Hawk made a face. But this was the only food he had. Other cats would want it. Hawk swallowed another piece gingerly. "Disgusting!" He muttered, gulping the rest down hungrily and wrinkling his nose in disgust. Hawk padded down to the river. He was 8 moons old, still very young. Hawk waited at the edge. He flashed out a paw, scooping out 2 minnows. They're tiny! Hawk thought to himself. He ate them both. Barely 3 mouthfuls.
Hawk lay down on the moss underneath a bush. He was tired and hungry and cold. Hawk groomed himself. At least he was clean. Sighing, he stretched out and closed his eyes. Hawk soon fell asleep under the dusk sky.
