Foxleap nodded to a patch of greenery. “Smell that strong stench? That’s catmint! Thank starclan it’s still alive, we had better pick some before the cold shrivels it.” She carefully padded up to the garden and began plucking the herb. “Better leave some so it will grow back..” she mumbled through a mouthful of herbs. “We best be careful, I smell dog nearby..”

Bramblestar bounded past Foxleap and skidded to turn back and look at her medicine cat. "Foxleap! I need you back at camp and ready stat!" she ordered. "Shrewface and I saw a fox and we will need to ensure it is taken care of immediately. I need to know for sure you are ready to help with any potential injuries"

Foxleap jumped, startled by Bramblestar. “I’m ready, I’ll get back to camp now and get my herbs organized. Starclan guide us..” She quickly picked her herbs back up and sprinted back to the camp, looking behind to see if they were beside her.

Bramblestar waved her tail. "I need at least two warriors with me now. We have a fox on Seedclan territory and that is not acceptable" she called to her clan.

Shrewface bursted through the camp entrance "There is a fox oon our territory, I need warriors to help fight it off!" He hissed
Petalfoot lashed her tail and stood next to Bramblestar, "I'll help you fight it off" she growled

Shrewface paced around his leader and tore at the ground with his claws, "We must hurry before it follows our scent back to camp"

Foxleap looked through her den for herbs she might need after setting her catmint away. “Mmm.. Goldenrod, Comfrey, Cobwebs, Poppy seeds..” she began making small piles of each, for any cat who could be hurt. She then stood just outside her den.

Bramblestar waved her tail for Petalfur to follow as Sootshine bounded over. “Bramblestar I’ll come too” she exclaimed and kept close to her sister as she looked to Shrewface. “Lead the way”

Shrewface lifted his tail signaling for his clan mates to follow, "Keep close!" He pelted through the forest the fox scent growing stronger
Petal foot fluffed out her tail in fear, "It's getting close" she breathed

Sootshine kept herself ahead of the rest as she followed the scent “Petalfoot you scent it too” she hissed.
Bramblestar followed after her clanmates, watching their surroundings to ensure they were not ambushed

Petalfoot glanced around nervously, “Shrewface I think I can-“ before she could finish a large pair of of jaws came snarling towards her from the bushes it’s eyes blazing wildly
Shrewface yowled ferociously and threw himself at the fox before it could reach his sister

||@brambleclaw13 Can you please clarify what is going on? I know there's a fox in the territory but I don't know where my characters are. Seeing that Sootshine is helping with the fox, I don't know where Skypaw should be. Seeing that he and his mentor were by the Moss-laced tree and there wasn't anything mentioned about them coming back, it is unclear where Skypaw is at. Sorry for this question, but it's providing a mild source for confusion. If you do happen to have a rule about OOC text that I can't see, I will promptly delete this post. I don't want to inconvenience anyone, but unless Skypaw's location is known, I would not be able to roleplay.||
» LARCHSHADE
Larchshade's fur stood on end when she heard Bramblestar mention the fox on SeedClan territory. It was leaf-bare, and the fox only posed an additional hazard. Prey needed to be caught, greencough might surface... After all, it was the cold season.
"Don't you think we should help Bramblestar, Shrewface, Petalfoot, and Sootshine deal with the fox?" She hissed, turning to look Brightfall in the eye. She only just realized that they had already left.

(You should have your cats join in!) Shrewface clung onto the fox’s back, clawing every piece of flesh he could while Petalfoot began nipping at its hind legs trying to confuse it, but as the fox whirled around Shrewface got thrown from its back and slammed hard into a tree trunk

(I’m sorry Twii! At the time there weren’t enough warriors on so I just s want Sootshine. Skypaw is at camp and I apologize again for the confusion!!)
Bramblestar’s fur bristled as she slashed at the muzzle of the fox. She ducked as its jaws snapped at her and she rolled backwards away from the creature.

Shrewface struggled to his paws feeling a sharp pain in his right shoulder. "We must attack all at once!" He howled while lunging for the Fox's neck.
Petalfoot clamped her jaws around its tail tasting blood as she bit down

Bramblestar nodded and flicked her tail. “On my signal! One! Two! Three!” She screeched and lunged at the Fox, grasping its back and sinking her claws into its hips. She bit into its fur and clung on to the animal as it yowled

Shrewface and Petalfoot both leaped at the fox upon their leaders command taking on the large creature at all sides. Shrewface clawed its eyes while Petalfoot took the rear biting on its heels. "Its retreating!" He yowled

||I would have them join in, but the fox seems to be defeated. However, they don't know about that, so... *smiley face*.
It's alright Bramble. Thanks for clarifying the situation. ||
» BRIGHTFALL
Brightfall looked his sister in the eye, sensing a spark of adventure igniting in her gaze. He was feeling it too. He longed to go out and defend his clan. Maybe she felt that way too.
"I do!" The pale brown tom responded cheerfully. "You don't suppose... That we should follow their trail? Larchshade? Come on, follow me!"
» LARCHSHADE
With a sense of purpose, Larchshade followed Brightfall out of camp. They were warriors after all. Defend your clan, even at the cost of your life. And this fox was an enemy that needed to be met and defeated.
"Can't scent anything, Brightfall?" Larchshade murmured, a less than amused look on her face. "Is your nose stuffed with moss?" Taking to the ground, the she cat opened her jaws to taste the air. Could that be fox? She tensed, half expecting a russet furred creature to leap at her from behind. "Brightfall, lets continue following Bramblestar's trail. It might just lead us to the fox."

Shrewface yowled triumphantly as the fox turned tail to flee leaving a trail of blood on the path ahead. He glanced around to make sure everyone was safe,"We should take a moment to recover and then make sure it actually left our territory" he panted
Petalfoot padded up to Shrewface brushing her tail against a deep scratch on his shoulder, "you should head to camp to get that looked at, I can go check" she sniffed the air, "Bright fall? Larchshade? Are you near?" She called

Bramblestar nodded. "Shrewface and Petalfoot, I want you both to tail the fox and ensure it has left. I need to check something". Bramblestar thought back to when the fox appeared and how it was sniffing something by the tree. There were no familar prey scents in the area at the time, but maybe the fox had masked it. She couldn't be sure.

Shrewface nodded to Bramblestar and followed the blood trail cautiously, "Petalfoot stay behind me" he growled Petalfoot lashed her tail in frustration, "I can take care of myself!" She hissed Shrewface looked up ahead and lifted his tail, "Bramblestar, its long gone" he breathed a sigh of relief "For now anyways"

» BRIGHTFALL
"I smell it too!" Brightfall whispered back with quiet eagerness. "Fox! I hope Bramblestar's patrol is okay..."
"They should be, because the fox is gone now," Larchshade responded flatly, yet with hidden praise. "Looks like they are." Brightfall disliked the thick-furred warrior's constant lack of enthusiasm, but he wasn't going to hold it against her.
His spirits rose as they approached the place where the fox was downed. He tried to conceal a happy trill, much to the annoyance of Larchshade. Poking his head into what he hoped was Petalfoot's range of vision, he answered.
"We're here. Looks like you've dealt with the fox."

Bramblestar's attention was focused on finding the area the fox was sniffing. She scanned until she noticed the exact area by the strong scent and paw steps littered across the snowy ground. Padding over she found a small lump against the tree and sniffed it. Her eyes widened as she stared at the bundle. I-It's a kit!

Petalfoot jumped beside Larchshade "A kit? Its mother should be close right?" She asked the she cat Shrewface padded up to Bramblestar his eyes wide, "What should we do with it?" He whispered

Post by Deleted on Dec 29, 2017 23:31:16 GMT -5
Bramblestar sniffed it. "It's only a moon old... and barely moving" her voice quivered before she took a deep breath and looked up at her warriors, her eyes calm once again. "Petalfoot take the kit back to camp and lay with it to warm it up. Brightfall go and fetch dry bedding for them at once"
The Seedclan leader turned to look at her remaining warriors. "The rest of you, search the territory for even the scent of a mother or any foreign cat smell you can find" she ordered harshly.

» LARCHSHADE
The dark furred warrior was surprised. A kit? Why in StarClan would there be a kit? However, she did have a pretty bad feeling about what could have happened. Larchshade felt her heart break in sorrow and pain. Her voice caught in her throat.
"I don't think so," Larchshade choked out as she turned to face Petalfoot. "If a fox was sniffing it, then it couldn't have been anything good. For all I know, the fox could have gotten her. Or the kit could have been abandoned. Or both."
» BRIGHTFALL
"Yes, Bramblestar!" He called out.
Brightfall was pleased he had a duty to fulfill, but he couldn't help but wonder about the kit. Nonetheless, he kept his mouth shut and padded off in search for any nest material spared from the dampness of leaf-bare.

Bramblestar hissed at Larchshade. "We don't know that. If that is the attitude you have right away then YOU will bring this kit to camp and keep it warm". Bramblestar's fur was puffed out and she turned to begin searching and ensuring her clan mates were doing their assigned jobs.

Petalfoot scooped up the kit gently her heart racing please keep breathing!She prayed silently. Once she got to camp she placed the fragile kit inside the once empty nursery and wrapped her body around its small body

Bramblestar was grateful to Petalfoot. She beckoned Larchshade to her side. “We should always have faith” was all she said before beginning to scout for the kit’s mother.
