Sweetie blinked as the squirrel ran away, then let out a faint hiss. She turned to the source of the noise that drove it away, recognizing Germaine. She opened her mouth to give him an earful, but then he spoke. "Really?" she asked, although she knew very well what they planned on doing. It was time to take the clearing in front of the cave. She lashed her tail a few times. "Will I get to fight?"

Rowanheart gave Dovecould a half-hearted smile. "Okay," He meowed, turning once more to the apprentices. "Now's time one of you went. Tumblepaw," He beckoned his apprentice with a nod of his head. "You come over here with me."

Foxstep stood guarding the entrance of the camp, on edge and waiting for any rogues who got any funny ideas to ambush. She had faith in her clanβs strength but her mind kept going back to Skystar. She wondered how his health was doing, he seemed for stressed then ever. βI hope heβs not getting grey furs earlier.β She thought. Stormpaw searched the clearing in hopes of getting a glimpse of his mentor's russet fur. Finally, after a moment of panic while running through the whole camp, he spotted her at one of the entrances, her back to him. She looked intent on the forest. "Foxstep!" He exclaimed, pelting over to her. Panting as he approached, the blueish-gray tom dipped his head in greeting. "What can I do?" Foxstep gave the outside another scan before looking at her apprentice, βIβm keeping guard for now. Itβs best you stick by my side if the rogues attack...β The death of the former apprentice was still fresh in her head and she refused to have Stormpaw fall victim. βYouβve been keeping up your training correct?β

Hawkjaw excused himself from Skystar and the medicine cats. "I'm going to find my apprentice." He murmured to to the leader before dipping away. It seemed all the clan innately knew what to do, every cat fell in to protect another cat or hold post where was needed. Pride overtook his anxieties as he watched the scene unfold before him. This was, until he saw Blackscale lazily laid out on his back, seeming to have no clue as to what was going on. Really?"Blackscale." He growled, coming to stand with his face above the warrior's napping head. "I have two questions. First; have you seen Palepaw? Second; just what exactly do you think you're doing? The rogues will be here any minute." ((@fortunata)) Blackscale stretched out his paws, unsheathing his long hooked claws, βI havenβt...sheβs not out there alone, is she?β Blackscale stood up, his fur already bristled and ragged. βAnd donβt snap at me.β There was restraint in his tone. The rogues...he remembered that Grackle cat, that rogue who blinded him and nearly killed Cinderlightβs kits. βYou know theyβll come at us with that poison...unless you want to end up like me, you should think of something......whereβs my mate?β He asked, smelling the air for Cinderlightβs scent

Foxstep smiled at Palepaw, βStay by my side too, okay? We can help guard the medicine den.β
Grackle crept back into his den and got to work making his toxins.
βNo.β Was the firsts words out of Megβs mouth, she didnβt know mean for it to slip out but she wasnβt sure how vengeful these clan cats were. βWeβll ask Shadow about that...letβs go.β She nodded to Germaine before following him.

Stormpaw exhaled sharply, his obvious relief showing on his face. The two she-cats that meant the most to him outside of kin would be with him for the battle. There would be no need to imagine horrors facing them; he'd be right there to see it all. I won't let a tick-bitten rogue lay even a whisker on them. He vowed to himself silently. The young tom turned to Palepaw, seeing her dilute tortoiseshell face shining in the sunhigh light, and to him the pale glow was the closest thing to a starclan cat he had seen. His eyes stayed a moment too long before flickering away to Foxstep. "We'll do our best. I've kept up with my training best as could be, but this is the first battle I've fought in." His gaze darkened. "The first battle since Frostpaw.."

Hawkjaw replied dryly in regard to Cinderlight's whereabouts. "And I think I see Palepaw over with Foxstep." The dark tabby continued, looking past Blackscale to confirm that it was indeed the dilute pelt of his apprentice standing with the russet-furred warrior and her own apprentice. She will be safe with them. "You would do well to guard the apprentices during battle. We need strong warriors around them." His gaze flicked to where Rowanheart and Dovecloud stood, hastily teaching the apprentices battle moves. He swallowed dryly in anxiety. She looked so soft and lovely, would he be able to protect her? The deputies eyes dropped. He felt he could never see eye-to-eye with this obstinate warrior. Hawkjaw could sympathize with his need to protect his family. Today, however, he needed the black cat's help "We don't want a repeat of the last battle. Could you do that for me, please, Blackscale?"

Sweetie blinked as the squirrel ran away, then let out a faint hiss. She turned to the source of the noise that drove it away, recognizing Germaine. She opened her mouth to give him an earful, but then he spoke. "Really?" she asked, although she knew very well what they planned on doing. It was time to take the clearing in front of the cave. She lashed her tail a few times. "Will I get to fight?" Germaine gave the kit a sad look, his mouth gaping a bit. "I'm not sure about that one." He meowed, turning to Meg as he heard her small denial. The yellow gaze he saw was so intent on Sweetie, so full of sadness and defense. With a sigh, he lead the two back to the abandoned dog kennel. If the tom were honest with himself, the prospect of facing the clan cats again filled him with dread. However, the adrenaline of knowing a battle was ahead of them pulsed through him, making his paw pads burn intensely. His legs carried him quicker than intended back to Shadow. "Got them." He mewed, not meeting her eyes and forcing a wide smile.

Blackscale sheathed and unsheathed his claws with excitement as he saw this as a way of getting back at the rogues. βI wonβt hold back.β He said more as a statement then asking, heβs gotten much better with his fighting skills and felt he was ready to take on anything. Though he did worry for Cinderlight and Russetpaw, he knew sheβd be by their Kitβs side and his goal for now is to prevent what happened to Frostpaw. He noticed something off with the deputy, βYou sound distracted...β

Hawkjaw, who had been looking past Blackscale at Dovecloud once more, only vaguely heard the warrior address him. "Huh?" He meowed, drawing himself back to the conversation. He blinked at the tom blankly before he realized what he had said. "Oh, yes. Just.. worried for the safety of the clan" He admitted, shaking himself gruffly. After drawing in a deep breath, Hawkjaw straightened himself up and flicked his ears forward, showing it was time to move on. βExcuse me, I need to find Daisybug.β

Bramblepaw glanced around for Thrushwing, and spotted her mentor by the medicine den. "Thrushwing!" she called out, bounding over to her, "What should I do?" She stopped in front of Thrushwing, gazing upwards to meet her mentor's eyes. If it came to a fight, Bramblepaw was a little nervous, but she wanted to do her part and make her mentor proud.

Thrushwing, who had been busying herself by organizing some of the herb stores in the makeshift medicine den, turned to Bramblepaw. A moment of panic flared in her chest How could I have forgotten about my apprentice?Feeling guilty for her negligence, the small tortoiseshell padded forward and touched her nose to the young cat's forehead. "You can help us around here." She mewed, looking over to where Russetpaw and Goldenstrike slept. "We want the apprentices out of battle as much as possible."

Bramblepaw blinked hesitantly, glancing around the medicine den. Her eyes fell upon Russetpaw and Goldenstrike where they slept, and she turned again to her mentor. "But I can fight, I want to help the Clan!" she insisted, her eyes round as she stared up at Thrushwing. However, she sighed and nodded, accepting her fate with slumped shoulders.

Deerleg finished absorbing all of the discussions around him, finally getting to his paws to follow Dovecloud and Rowanheart as they led young apprentices towards the makeshift nursery. He didn't dare say anything, especially knowing how Robinwhisper would be feeling at that moment, that her kits were about to be put into a fight where any injury could kill them. He silently decided to stick beside them through the battle, and kill any cat that tried to as much as touch them. (Quoting this for probably no apparent reason))) Robinwhisper released a gasping breath she hadn't known she had been holding the entire meeting. She had barely heard Skystar's final word to the clan before cats were bustling around the clearing. Confusion settled over her, what was she supposed to do right now? Protect your kits.Her senses numb, she finally rose to her paws to follow her kits to the makeshift nursery. Seeing her former mate trail behind the mentors and apprentices should have eased her mind, he was a strong warrior, after all. However, it only heightened her fear. One injury could be the demise of her whole family. The worse her fear got, the more a churning, boiling feeling burned in her stomach. A rage directed at the cats who threatened her family. She hurried to catch up with Deerleg, her head finally clearing. "Anyone who comes near them, dies a painful death." She growled to the long-legged tom as she tried to match his stride. Deerleg didn't look to Robinwhisper until they had stopped and were standing around their kits as they watched Rowanheart and Dovecloud demonstrate. His amber eyes met hers and he simply nodded in reply, his tail flicking with determination. He didn't mirror the look of fear he saw on Robinwhisper's face, for he was certain he would die for them if needed. He looked back to the small training session and watched as all of the kits joined their mentors.

Thrushwing stood just outside the medicine den, nodding as Bluepool and Cinderlight approached. "Thank Starclan you two are here," She mewoed, disappearing in the den for a moment before returning with a fearful expression on her mottled face. "I have a terrible feeling this will be the first place the rogues turn to when we deny the medicine offer." She shook her tortoiseshell pelt before continuing in an uncharacteristically optimistic tone. "We can hold them off, though!" (( owlspots Bramblepaw can come help guard the nursery since Thrushwing is their mentor) Bluepool looked into the medicine den, spotting her mate's golden fur against the light. She looked back to Thrushwing and nodded. "Yeah, it's definitely possible," she agreed. However, she hadn't mentioned that she considered taking the offer anyway. Depending on how this went, she'd make her move. With Goldenstrike's life on the line, to her, it was everything at stake. She felt a pang of guilt that she didn't join her sister and her kits, but would be sure to keep an eye on them from a distance.

Daisybug returned with the herbs in her mouth and laid them down between her and Marigoldpaw, along with a large wad of cobwebs. "I know you haven't any medicine training," she said, keeping her voice low and calm. "So when I bring an injured cat over, all I want you to do is press down on any bleeding wounds with cobweb. It'll soak up the blood and hopefully a lot of the poison." She caught her apprentice's eye. "Can you do that for me?" ((daisybug's just doing Her Best)) ily daisybug]
Marigoldpaw sighed heavily and nodded sharply to her mentor. She was hoping she could do it, and not freeze from all that she knew was going to be on around her. "Uhm... what about...if their cats get hurt?" she said almost silently. She wasn't sure just who Daisybug was going to bring over to her, and wasn't exactly certain on what to do. She had yet to share tongues with StarClan, and hoped they wouldn't be frustrated at her for her confusion.

"You come over here with me." Tumblepaw blinked, padding over to his mentor and standing in front of him. He looked at Rowanheart expectantly, waiting for him to give him a signal. He wanted to act confident, but couldn't prevent his eyes from widening with uncertainty.

Skystar's ears rotated around until he finally heard Foxstep's voice, speaking to both her apprentice and Palepaw. He turned around to find her, nodding to her as he approached. He tried to say something but the words got caught in his throat, so he just stood a bit away from her, looking around expectantly. He wasn't sure when or how the rogues would attack, but he was willing to take the first blow.

"What the heck are you all doing around me?" Loudstep yelled. The tom was obviously frustrated. He glared at the cats shuffling around him individually. "Aren't there actual, you know, important cats to be around? Like the queens, kits, Daisybug...?" Autumnwish met Loudstep with a steady gaze, her tail fluffing just a bit. "Loudstep, you're an important cat around." She snapped, coming to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the stubborn elder. "This isn't a jab to your pride, we're just trying to help." Loudstep looked angry at this, and his tail lashed. He opened his mouth to say something but closed it, turning his eyes away from Autumnwish, ushering a small grumble and huffing.

Softlight ached a bit at the question, but he replied, "My kits haven't known anything different from what they know now...They were simply only born in our old camp, and they never even met their mother. I'm sure the hardest thing for them will be us moving back to where we're supposed to be." (Sorry,it stopped telling me when someone posts on here. "It probably will be hard."Cactusclaw replied softly."I'm sure it won't be too hard though."He still wasn't paying much attention to the meeting and wasn't about to start."If I can help when the time comes just ask." Softlight nodded to Cactusclaw in response, getting to his paws hurriedly and ushering Fawnkit, Cavernkit, and Cottonkit into the nursery, to the protest of both of his own kits. "You'll be safer in the den, don't fuss," he warned them.

Foxstep spotted Skystar from the corner of her eye, she felt a quick leap of excitement seeing him come towards her- only to remember they were in the middle of preparing for a fight. βWill you two excuse me? Iβll be right back.β She said to the apprentices before walking over to Skystar. βHow are you feeling?β Were the first words out her mouth before feeling silly to ask that. She couldnβt imagine the stress he was feeling. Instead she touched her nose to his cheek comfortingly, βThose rogues are overconfident. Theyβll slip up, Skystar...I think weβll win. All of us.β

"Ever thought that perhaps we'll see friends outside the clan again?"

He was silent except for his breathing, letting himself breathe in her scent before nodding. "I know... We'll catch them, when they do. They won't take away the land our ancestors set aside for us after suffering so much."

He thought of her wonderful, flowing brindle pelt in the breeze, her dark coat standing against the dried yellow foliage in a large clearing. In his mind he could hear the rustling of branches and leaves blowing, her eyes on him as she looked back at him from a distance, seemingly waiting for him to join her.
