Skin And Bones (OPEN)

Sparrow was awakened from a peaceful sleep when a strong, cold breeze blew into his den. He shivered, got up, and stretched. It's so cold around here during leafbare! His stomach grumbled loudly and he sighed. I haven't eaten anything in two days... I'm so hungry! He hated hunting. Not only was he bad at it, but also the cold drove most of the prey into their dens. His ribs were barely visible, but still noticeable if you looked carefully.

He took a step onto the cold snow and sank slightly. He sneezed, probably a cold. He hasn't been properly warm for a long time. Sniffing the air, he couldn't smell anything. I'd eat anything at this point! he thought and started frantically looking around. He spotted something laying on the ground and he ran over to it. 

He crinkled his nose as he observed the old rat that had probably been dead for days. It had a few bites taken out of it, but it still had some food left on it. He reluctantly bent his head and took a small bite out of the disgusting rat.

Octavian pressed his ears flat against his head and crouched into the ground, trying to block out the harsh laughter of the howling leafbare wind. Though his fur was long, it wasn't enough to protect him against sheer cold.

Time to get back to my den, he thought. A long time had gone passed since he'd left his mother and littermates. He felt a sudden pang of melancholy, and desperately wished, for this moment, that he had not ran away and instead stayed with them, safe and warm under Lindsay's paws, in their closed off Twoleg home.

but he had survived all these moons without her, and that was an accomplishment Ocatvian was determined to continue. He'd found an empty hollow, probably made by a fox, that he'd used as a shelter.

Octavian sneezed as he stepped into the freezing snow, and through the wind that was now a blizzard, he caught sight of a shape.

"Hello?" he called out.

Golden fluffed up her fur, as the cold wind blew. "This weather is too cold. Newleaf better be coming soon." She muttered to herself. This was probably one of the longest leafbares she had seen, but then again she wasn't back in the LeafClan camp with a warm nest. She hadn't seen Cielo for a while, and that was part of the reason she was freezing her paws off out in the snow. "As long as there are no other cats around. I don't think I could fight at the moment." She muttered again.
