Mountainclan: Conquering New Heights
Introduction You've stumbled into some odd cave looking for shelter from some rain, it's completely dark and it's taking a while for your eyes to adjust. The fur on the back of your neck stands on end as you here whispers and murmurs around you. "Who's there?!" You ask loudly, your voice echoing in the cave. You hear a mixture of sounds, some laughing and others are growls and hisses. Once your eyes completely adjust you see you're surrounded by cats, you try to take a step back but doing so you step on something. Looking back you see it's a paw, your eyes gaze up and you see a slender calico she-cat looking at you. "Don't be alarmed, we mean you no harm. If you are a threat well, as you can see you're completely out numbered." The she-cat mewed with small grin. She tells you she is the leader of this clan, Mountainclan, and that they live in this mountain. She says her name is Spottedstar. "You are welcome to join us, be apart of the clan. However if you refuse, then we'll have no choice but to kick you out." Her tone tells you that she's serious. What do you do?
Territory General Territory- A deep valley that surrounded by a large mountain range, in the middle of the valley is a large lake which is fed by a couple small rivers. The forest is made up of mostly Pine and other Conifer trees, while the mountains are rocky with both brown and gray stones. Special locations in the territory would be:- The Two-leg Camp- To the far east of the territory is an area where two-legs come and go often during the warmer seasons, often abandoned during Leaf-bare. Two-leg set up their dens here and usually at night you can see them create fire. Sometimes cats will leave their two-legs, or get left behind by them.
- The Great Pine- Right in the middle of the valley, exactly north of the lake is the Great Pine. A tall and supposedly ancient Pine tree, commonly used by the clan for training apprentices whether its to climb or hunt.
- Carp Lake- A big lake in the center of the valley, used for fishing and drinking water. Legend has it a big carp lives in the center of the lake, but no one has ever caught any fish it's size.
- Twin Rivers- Two of the three rivers that feed into the lake, where the source of water comes from is unknown as it comes from the Dark Tunnel under the mountain where no clan cat goes. The rivers start as one but soon split off into two.
- Dark Tunnel- To the far left of the clan's mountain is the Dark Tunnel, a pitch black cave that no one is suppose to go into. You can hear sounds of dripping and rushing water coming from inside.
- Sweetberry's Grove- A grove of berries and herbs named after the first medicine of Mountainclan, it's believe to be a gift from Starclan and as such clan cats treat the area with the upmost respect. Medicine cat's come here often to gather medicine supplies.
- The Warm Pond- Located on the second level of the clan's mountain and only accessible through the second level entrance/exit. It is a strange pond of warm water surrounded by rocks. Cat's who don't mind getting their fur wet sometimes going into the water, especially elders who have sore muscles and joints.
Camp Mountainclan Camp- To the far west of the territory is a large, ragged mountain. This is were the clan makes their home, living deep inside the abandon two-leg tunnels. It is very dim inside the main camp area, becoming completely dark at night. The Camp- The main camp is here, several burrow tunnels used as dens. To the far right of the camp entrance is the Rock Ledge, used by the leader to give speeches and hold meetings. The leader's den is located up at the top of the rock ledge, its comfy and very dark in there. - Medicine cat's den- Straight ahead of the entrance on the other side of camp is the medicine cats den, a long and spacious tunnel system with different dents and nooks in the walls which are perfect for storing herbs and flowers. The are a few nests in the den, two of course for the medicine cat and their apprentice, as well as four nest for any patients.
- Warrior and Apprentice dens- Side by side to each are two round tunnels that lead deep down to a larger burrow where the cats sleep. From digging in the past to make the den wider the wall between the two dens is thin making it easier to hear voices on the other side.
- Nursery- Next to the medicine cat's den is a burrow with a slightly small entrance, making it harder for bigger threats to get inside but still enough for expecting queens to go in and out of the den. The floor of this den is soft, lined almost completely with moss and soft dirt.
- Elders Den- To the right of the medicine cat's den is the elder's den, a very even and leveled tunnel so elders don't have to go up and down steep inclines or declines making it easier on their old bones.
Eagle's Roost- Above the camp is another level which is called Eagle's Roost, no dens are up here but there is an exit which lead out to the side of the mountain where the Warm Pool is. Sky View- Above Eagle's Roost is Sky View, the high level in the mountain known to the clan. Most cat's don't come up here due to it being so cold and windy, kits are never allowed so high either. This area is for Medicine cats and Leaders, to look up at the sky and stars and speak to Starclan.

Allegiances Leader | Spottedstar | She-cat | 98 Moons | ~Cherry Red Panda~ | A slender, short haired calico she-cat. Black and Brown patches across her body most notably though are the black and brown patches on her eyes, ears, and a spot on her chest that's shaped almost like a heart. Her tail is long and completely brown. Her eyes are light green, resting nicely above her pink nose. In the beginning Spottedstar was a kind, patient, and brave leader. She'd help anyone she could, even if they weren't apart of the clan. However, after the disappearance of her kits she's fallen into a deep sadness and hysteria. She blames her ex mate, who was suppose to be watching them at the time. She spends most of her time either cooped up in her den, or outside hoping for any sign of her kits even though a few moons have already passed. | Lives Left: 7
Deputy | Name | Gender | Age | User | Description
Medicine Cat
| Dovepool | she-cat | 28 Moons | aconite | A slender, elegant molly. Dovepool's short fur is thicker than it looks and plush to the touch. Her cheek fur is longer and fluffier, and she has a long, feathery tail that she finds annoying to groom, sometimes. Her fur is primarily a silver-grey in colour, with black spotted tabby markings across her pelt. Her canines are a little too long for her mouth and poke out noticeably, and she has tall ears. She has a white chin, chest and underbelly, and the toes of her forepaws are white, too. Her hind paws are white halfway up the hocks. Her inner legs appear to be white, too. Wide eyes are pale green, and she has surprisingly long whiskers. Dovepool is quite a stubborn cat, and will ensure that her patients do as they're told. Her sharp tongue and shorter fuse can make her come off as unfriendly, but she really isn't. In fact - when prompted, she can be quite talkative and upbeat, especially when asked about her work. Her photographic memory is very useful for herbs. She stepped up to the full Medicine Cat position not long after taking her full name, due to her mentor dying suddenly. It wasn't anything sinister - but it did trip her up a little at the beginning. Her father is Pigeonsong.
Medicine Cat Apprentice
| Dreampaw | she-cat | 10 | ≋S≋a≋l≋t≋y≋ | A small tortoiseshell with amber eyes and white paws and tail-tip. She is serious and is always trying her best to care for her clanmates. She is too talkative sometimes, but she doesn't let it get the best of her. She is Spottedstar's niece. Dreampaw isn't familiar with her own kin, as she likes being alone to help keep her concentrated.
Warriors
| Leopardfrost | She-cat | 45 moons | ~Cherry Red Panda~ | A tall Bengal mix she-cat, she had broad shoulders and large paws. She has white fur with silver and black leopard-like spots and rings around her tail, her fur is short and soft giving it a plush feelings. She has narrow, dark blue eyes above her light pink nose. Leopardfrost is the definition of a 'gentle giant', she might look intimidating but she's a sweetheart to those around her. Originally a kitty-pet, she left her two-leg in search of adventure with the clan. She's a pretty good fighter, using her strength and bigger size to her advantage. However she is a bit clumsy when it comes to hunting.
| Batfang | Tom | 32 Moons | ~Cherry Red Panda~ | Batfang is a beige Siamese tom-cat with dark brown points. He has a very thin and lanky built, long legs and big ears. His light blue eyes are cross eyed, giving him an odd and silly look. He has a few cuts in this ears and a long scar down the right side of his hip. Due to his eyes being crossed he does have sight problems, but he doesn't let that keep him for serving his clan. Batfang was picked out at an early age because of his eyes, but he developed a thick skin to the name calling and now joins in the laughter. He enjoys a good laugh and likes to crack jokes with his clanmates.
| Deertuft | Tom | 50 Moons | ~Cherry Red Panda~ | A fluffy dark brown tabby tom with black stripes. He is a big and broad tom, with a round fluffy head that looks like a mane. His ears are tipped with black tufts of fur, and he has a white muzzle and whiskers. His eyes are mix of greenish-orange, changing colors depending on the amount of light hitting them. Deertuft is a serious tom, taking his duties as a warrior very seriously. His straight forwardness and his blunt honesty doesn't get him many friends, but it's just who he is. As he's been getting old he's been thinking of finding a mate and starting a family of his own, so his legacy can continue.
| Swanfrost | Tom | 31 Moons | nettle | Swanfrost is a thin-faced tom with narrow, pale green eyes, short fur, and long, thin ears. His pelt is smooth and jet-black, with white paws and a white marking on his back, almost shaped like a pair of wings when looking at it from above. He doesn't have much in the way of muscle or physical strength, instead relying on speed and agility in combat situations. Swanfrost is aloof and stern, often very strict with others, and uncomfortable and nervous around kits. He can be harsh when he’s worried or frustrated, and has trouble communicating his emotions at times. He dislikes arrogance or anything he perceives as laziness (which can include simply being laid-back), and can become argumentative with cats with such a personality. Swanfrost is generally expressionless, and speaks in a flat monotone. Despite his somewhat prickly personality and hard-to-read nature, he's loyal to the extreme, following every order given to him by whoever he perceives as his rightful leader. He can have trouble with authority if the orders are coming from somebody he doesn't respect. Swanfrost is gay.
| Pigeonsong | Tom | 51 Moons | aconite | Thick-furred and long-legged, Pigeonsong is a giant tom with light grey fur that has darker grey tabby patches scattered over his body. He has tufted ears and a long muzzle with vicious scarring over the bridge of his nose. He has multiple scars over his body as a whole - some part the fur over his back and sides, while others are hidden underneath the longer fur. As a whole, he's certainly an intimidating sight to see. His eyes are an intense amber and seem to be unblinking, and his claws are very rarely sheathed due to how tense he can be. Pigeonsong isn't exactly the friendliest of cats. He does enjoy talking about his apprentice days and about his past, and it's a surefire way to get into his good books. However, he doesn't make an effort to be kind; he's sharp-tongued and somewhat aggressive - a "swipe first, ask questions later" sort of tom. His daughter is Dovepool.
| Nightbreeze | Tom | 51 Moons | ≋S≋a≋l≋t≋y≋ | A large scrawny tuxedo tom with green eyes. He has been known as a daredevil back when he was younger, attempting to do silly things that got him in trouble and gave him some scratches and bruises. He has a short-temper, but he is strong-willed and ready to help his clan, whether it's watching the kits, or saving a life. He can grow very lazy and he is forgetful, and you would most likely find him sleeping.
| Rivermoth | she-cat | 37 Moons | Rivermoth | Rivermoth is a short furred white she-cat with ginger points and tabby markings. She is a small framed, but doesn't let it hold her back in anything. Her bright green eyes have small white dots just above them, adding to her unusual look. Rivermoth has three small scars across her nose from an accident as an apprentice she doesn't fully remember. The tip of her ears are white, making the deep v's missing out of both more noticeable. Rivermoth was born without a tail, instead has a small stub which causes her balance to suffer slightly. Rivermoth is a very out-going and happy warrior. She tries to always remain positive, despite what is going on around her. She is always willing to help and the first to step up when her clan is in need. Rivermoth has a very maternal feel to her personality, by constantly trying to help and care for anyone around her. She has a very long fuse to her temper, and tries to keep it under wraps. Rivermoth isn't one to get angry, and tires to avoid it at all costs.
| Bramblestep | Tom | 28 Moons | Rivermoth | Bramblestep is a large, long haired tom with light brown fur that constantly sticks in every direction. He has tabby markings that are barley visible on his light fur. White covers the tips of his ears, chin, and the very tip of his tail. Bramblestep has deep amber eyes with small brown flecks in them. A long scar runs from the tip of his right shoulder down to his paw from a battle when he had just become a warrior. Bramblestep despite being young has a serious personality that is hard for many to get past. He is always willing to help, but tries to get things done quickly so he doesn't spend to much time with others as they make him nervous. He has a very hard time trusting, and always seem to be on his guard. Bramblestep was abandoned as a kit by his rouge mother, causing him to constantly feel unwanted. Bramblestep has always found kits to be more interesting than his fellow warriors and would rather spend time playing with them than others.
| Wildgaze | Tom | 27 Moons | ~Cherry Red Panda~ |Wildgaze is a thin tortoiseshell tom with long fur. He has patches of brown, black, and white all over him. The most noticeably pattern is on his face, half of his face is brown and the other is completely black. He has two colored eyes, one golden-brown on the brown half of his face and the other light blue. Due to his looks he's often mistaken for a she-cat, which he doesn't mind. He is very carefree and adventurous, almost kit-like at times. He is terrified of heights however, after an accidental fall that happened when he was an apprentice. | Thistlebloom | She-cat | 30 | ~Cherry Red Panda~ | Thistlebloom is a long haired, diluted calico. Her fur is spiky and always stand out in different angles, giving her a ragged and messy look. She has dark green eyes and a small scar across the top of her left eye. She has a few scars on the back of her head from rough play fighting and training, as well as a couple cuts and bites in her ears. Thistlebloom is a very no nonsense cat, she is blunt and straightforward. She would rather fight than talk peacefully, feeling only true victory is through bloodshed. | Name | Gender | Age | User | Description Apprentices
| Hemlockpaw | Tom | 8 moons | aconite | Hemlockpaw is a tall, slender tom bordering on skinny. He has an angular face with large ears and a very long tail, with wide brown eyes and a long muzzle. He's rather dainty to look at, with his short, glossy black fur. He has a white chin, throat and chest - but he only has a horizontal white stripe on his lower underbelly, only visible when he rolls over. His paws are white in varying ways; his left forepaw is barely dipped white, while his right forepaw has white toes. His left hindpaw is white only at the foot, whereas his right hindpaw is white all the way up to the midway point of the hock. His tail was broken a couple of times when he was a kit, but it's only noticeable when his tail is touched. Hemlockpaw is...prone to doubting himself, that's for sure. He's a little timid in nature and is something of a perfectionist, always beating himself down further when he makes mistakes. However - he's very hardworking and determined, keeps his eyes focused ahead instead of dwelling too much on the past. Yes, he thinks about it a little more than he should, but he also tries to utilize it to help himself improve.

Rogues, Loners, Kitty-Pets | Rouge | She-cat | 27 | nettle | Rouge is a pretty deep ginger she-cat with chocolate classic tabby stripes and a white muzzle. She has green eyes, a narrow face, large ears, thick, fluffy fur, and long legs. Rouge is the daughter of a former clan cat, Ferretfur, who abandoned the clan without warning to pursue a relationship with a kittypet named Jewel. Rouge spent her first 4 moons as a kittypet, but when her owners came to the mountains for a vacation, she became curious about the wild and left home. She became lost, and her owners left without her, stranding her in the wilderness. A rogue named Gloss took her in, and she learned to survive from her. Rouge comes off as flirty and harmless, but can be rather manipulative. She is a rogue by virtue of her greed, and she is willing to fight for anything she deems as her own, even if it has no value. She collects shiny trinkets and flowers she likes, and guards them jealously. She can be hard to get along with, often making rude remarks and jabbing at insecurities, but she can get along if it's required for her own survival. She is curious about the clans, but has avoided clan cats, nervous of how any interaction would go. Recently, she has taken in Chatter, who is the only surviving kit of Gloss, who left her without a trace. Rouge is a lesbian.
| Chatter | She-cat | 6 Moons | nettle | Chatter is a dusty grey she-cat with fawn-colored paws, a fawn splotch on her chest, and a white-tipped muzzles. She has pale green eyes, broad shoulders, thick, smooth fur, and is unusually large for her age. Chatter is the only surviving kit of Gloss, who disappeared, leaving her behind. She was raised by Rouge, and named for her talkative and excitable nature. Chatter loves interacting with new cats, and can come off as a bit of a ditz, often forgetting things she has just been told and talking on and on. She lacks common sense, and tends to be reckless, charging in without considering the consequences. Despite being a bit of an airhead, she means well, and wants to help others whenever she can. Chatter is bisexual.

Spottedstar was sitting on the rock ledge outside her den, the she-cat looked tired and her usual pretty fur was ragged and unkempt. Her light green eyes scanned the dark camp, seeing some of her clanmates moving around and waking up. Normally she'd be down there by now, helping to set up early morning patrols and greet her clanmates. But she hardly had an motivation to leave her den anymore.
Batfang and Leopardfrost went out for a small hunting patrol with the big she-cat leading the way. They had made their way down toward Carp Lake to hunt and fish. Leopardfrost and Batfang were a bit clumsy, so they felt at ease hunting together, no worries about being made fun of or judged. Batfang walked along the bank looking for voles and mice while Leopardfrost sat on a rock by the waters edge, her eyes watching closely for fish.

(That terrifying moment when your laptop charger breaks but then you remember you have an old laptop that still works. Man this screen is... so much bigger than I remember. If there are any errors blame it on the fact that the screen is so wide my eyes are practically crossing to focus on the text box and the mouse is so sensitive it flies across the screen when you tap it lmao.)
Swanfrost slipped out from the warrior's den, stretching and working out a few aches that had come from sleeping practically on his back all night. He glanced at Spottedstar, up on the ledge, and approached, eyes narrowed. "Good morning, Spottedstar." He greeted curtly. She had been withdrawn from the loss of her kits, and it was beginning to become frustrating. He greeted her every morning, hoping she'd wake up one day and be back to normal, but it seemed to be increasingly unlikely.
Chatter was up bright and early as always, and had, as she always did, tried to wake up Rouge immediately. The other she-cat had groaned and complained, snapping at her to "go hunt or something", and Chatter, who was used to dealing with Rouge's grouchiness, had quickly agreed and bounded off to the lake, craving fish. She knew Rouge would probably get up soon and follow her, as protective as she tended to be, but for now, she enjoyed the time alone. She paused, scenting the air lightly, and withdrew into the bushes slightly. The lake was just in sight, but she had caught the scent of other cats, and indeed, two cats- a tall she-cat and a lanky tom- were hunting. She drew back slowly, hoping to be able to leave undetected and avoid a fight. There were other places to hunt, after all.

(lmao)
Spottedstar looking over at Swanfrost upon hearing the tom's greeting, she tried her best to give him a smile. "Ah, hello Swanfrost. Nice day isn't it?" she said trying to make small talk. Her brown tail was wrapped neatly around her paws, she tried to seem okay but it was easy to see what had happened was taking much of her mental and emotional energy.
Leopardfrost was occupied with her fishing, striking her paw into the water and catching only a small fish. Batfang poked his head up when he heard the splash, "Nice catch, Leopardfrost!" he mewed to her. Batfang looked around the area and thought he saw another cat, "H-Hello?" he called out, his eyes narrowing as he tried to focus his sight.

"I'm sure it is. Probably a whole lot nicer from the outside." While he didn't want to be rude to his leader, and he could see how tired she was, all he really wanted was for things to be... normal. If he had to be fully honest, it kind of hurt to see their once proud and energetic leader so exhausted.
Chatter paused where she was. She didn't know if Rouge was nearby, or still snoozing away in their den, and these cats looked tough. While Chatter herself was large, at her young age, she didn't have any real experience. Training with Rouge just wasn't the same as the idea of actually fighting these two cats. She began to move back slowly, moving carefully to avoid causing the bushes to rustle. Hopefully,she could make it out with little more than a tongue-lashing from Rouge.

Leopardfrost paused and looked at Batfang, following the tom's gaze. She could see the strange cat better than her companion could. She hopped off the rock she was on and took a couple steps toward Chatter, "Who are you?" she asked calmly, Batfang coming up right beside Leopardfrost. They didn't look intimidating, but they didn't have to try hard since the other cat seemed to be alone and a bit smaller than them.

Chatter tensed. She had been seen, and she doubted there was any point in trying to remain hidden, so she slowly stood, her puffed out slightly. "You first." While her voice was softer than it normally was, it was still loud. She did her best not to take peeks behind her, in case Rouge was already present. She didn't want to do anything that could give the older she-cat away, or lead to a fight.

Leopardfrost smiled, "I'm Leopardfrost, and this is Batfang." She said flicking her tail toward the beige tom. "We're Mountainclan cats, and this is our territory. Who are you, and why are you here?" She mewed, her tone getting more serious at the end. The little she-cat didn't seem like much of a threat, but they couldn't leave a stranger in their territory unchallenged.
Spottedstar gave a long yawn, standing up and stretching out her limbs. She made a sorrowful smile, "They would've been apprentices by now..." That was all she murmured. "I-I'm sorry, please excuse me." Spottedstar mewed, her voice cracking as tears started brimming in her eyes.
Deertuft was watching Swanfrost and Spottedstar talk, he huffed to himself at the leader's behavior. He understood she needed time to grieve, but the clan needed it's leader. Leaf fall was half way over, the clan would need the old Spottedstar when leaf-bare came around!

"Mountainclan?" She racked her head for a moment, sure she'd hurt it before, then nodded. Right, Rouge had told her about a group of cats who guarded this area as their own. She'd also stressed to avoid them. "'M Chatter. I live here." Her ear twitched. She could hear the challenge in the older she-cat's voice.
"You know that it wasn't just your kits relying on you, right? This clan needs your guidance." Swanfrost quietly thanked Starclan for his monotone voice and lack of emotion. He could feel the tingle of what was likely rage building up, but it was soft enough that he could easily keep it out of his voice, leaving only the biting words left. "Abandoning this clan as you are is the same as if you left a kit out in the wilderness to die. We have elders, queens, apprentices to watch over, and it's your job to make sure we don't die. We can take care of ourselves, but only to a certain extent without a leader." His tail twitched as he just barely stopped himself from lashing it.

(rofl! haha)
Batfang and Leopardfrost looked at each other for a moment, "You live around here?" Batfang questioned with a tilt of his head. Leopardfrost thought for a moment, "You seem pretty young to live out here, are you living with someone else?" she asked curiously.
Spottedstar's eyes widened at Swanfrost's words, the dullness in her eyes changed to something much darker. "I can still take care of this clan," she growled, "I have every right to be upset and grieve as I see fit!" Her tail started to lash behind her. "Pray to Starclan that you never go through the same pain as I have!" She stood up and bounded down the rock ledge. "You will never understand the pain a queen goes through when she loses her kits!" she yelled at Swanfrost before storming off. Ignoring the fact that Deertuft has heard and seen the whole thing.

Chatter didn't even have the chance to answer the question when Rouge burst from the underbrush, placing herself between Chatter and the two clan cats, snarling. "Chatter, what happened?" She spoke, without taking her eyes off them. "Nothing, nothing! We weren't going to fight, right? I was about to leave!" Chatter looked at Leopardfrost, her gaze urging her to just agree and prevent the situation from escalating.
Swanfrost's gaze followed her as she stormed off, quiet, and when he finally spoke, it was when she was out of earshot. "The problem is that you've been doing nothing but grieving for moons." He muttered. His gaze slid over to Deertuft, and he nodded in greeting. "Hear anything interesting lately?" He almost smirked to himself at that.

(Hey guys, anyone have an open character?)
Bramblestep stretched walking out of the warriors den, a loud yawn escaping him. The tom looked around and spotted his leader and fellow warriors arguing. Despite not being one to enter drama he trotted towards them, hoping things weren't as bad as they looked. He stopped a fox length away, quickly sitting and looking at the situation completely confused.

Batfang hissed in surprise when the new she-cat jumped in, Leopardfrost shushed him and looked at Rouge. "I promise we mean no warm, we were hunting and noticed Chatter out here and decided to investigate." she mewed trying to keep a fight from happening. She glanced at Chatter and laughed, "I guess this answers my question huh?"
Deertuft gave a short chuckle, "I may have heard something trying to talk sense into our leader just a moment ago." The brown tabby smiled, "Glad to see someone has the courage to speak the truth to her, hopefully it'll help to bring her out of this funk of hers!"

(Sweet.)
The large tom slowly trotted after his leader, fear keeping him at a tails length away from her. "Spottedstar?" Bramblestep meowed after her, not wanting to catch her off guard or upset her further. "Are you alright?" He questioned, unaware of everything that had just happened and wanting to make sure she wasn't going to do anything reckless.

Rouge glanced at Chatter from the corner of her eye. "Loners?" She asked. "They said they're from Mountainclan." Chatter corrected. "Mountainclan? Figures." Her claws remained unsheathed, but at the very least her fur slowly began to flatten, and her ear twitched. She gave Leopardfrost a quick look up and down, then spared Batfang and glance. "We're not causing any trouble, so I don't see why you can't just leave us be." Her ear flicked.
"Oh, really? Well, it's about time somebody tried." He snorted, leaping down from the ledge and approaching Deertuft. "I've been talking to her every morning, and it's been really getting on my nerves. Grieving is normal, but it's been moons, and she's the leader. This may sound harsh, but she doesn't exactly have the luxury of taking her time."

Spottedstar looked at Bramblestep, "Swanfrost and I got into a bit of a arguement," she said with a small sniffle as she tried to calm down. "Do you think... I've been a bad leader lately?" she asked still staring at Bramblestep. Did everyone in the clan think she'd let her leadership go? Maybe it was true...
Leopardfrost knew the she-cat's claws were unsheathed, but the gentle giant simply smiled. "Well you don't seem to be causing any harm, we didn't mean to scare you both." she said with a small purr. "Come on Batfang, let's go back to hunting." she mewed and turned around. Batfang hurried off to search for prey again, Leopardfrost looked back at Rouge and smiled, "I hope too see you both again!"
Deertuft sighed and shook his head, "Tragic things happen here in the clan a lot, as hard as I'm sure its been for her the clan needs her leadership. We're all family here." he mewed, sounding like some old wise elder.

The tom was taken back by her question, wondering how she could doubt herself so much. Bramblestep cleared his throat before meowing, "I don't think you're being a bad leader. You've been through a loss a lot of us could never understand." He gently rested his tail on her flank as he spoke. "We are worried about you, and understand you need time to grieve but we also need you here with us." He quickly began to worry if his words were ill chosen.

Spottedstar smiled at Bramblestep, "Thank you, you have a good point. I need to be strong for my clan, I can grieve on my own time. It's hard, because it still feels like yesterday it happened... but I have to try and move on. One paw step at a time." She let out a small laugh, she knew what she needed to do but it felt like the light at the end of this tunnel of sadness was so far out her grasp.

"We're all here for you, and always will be. I may not understand your pain, but I'll try my best too." Bramblestep meowed with a small smile. "I know how much you loved your kits, you were an amazing mother but sometimes its easier to move on than live in the grief." He nuzzled her cheek, hoping she would be able to soon move on from everything that had happened.

"It's just hard, to lose all them and never finding out what happened to them after leaving camp." Spottedstar admitted. "I just hope that wherever they are they're happy at least... I know they'd want me to move on too." she said, laughing a little as a couple tears fell down her cheek. She rubbed one of her paws across her face and shook her head, "It'll take time, but with everyone in this clan I'm sure I'll be kicked back to me old self. Starclan forbid I upset a bunch of angry flea brains!" she said jokingly as she glanced back at Swanfrost and Deertuft.

Bramblestep looked back at his fellow warriors with a small smirk before turning back to Spottedstar. "I could always fight them, you know?" He teased, gently pushing her with his fluffy paw. "I'm sure you'll have kits again, and I promise nothing will happen to them. Kits are my favorite thing, besides food." He chuckled thinking of the little fuzz balls. The large tom has always had a soft spot for them.

Spottedstar smiled and chuckled, "Haha maybe some day I'll try again, can never replace what I've lost but it would certain fill a hole in my hearts. If you like kits then maybe you should consider settling down and starting a family of your own?" she mewed and gave the friendly tom a small and gentle headbutt to the shoulder. She had almost forgotten what it was like to laugh and have fun conversations with her clanmates.

Bramblestep nearly choked on air when Spottedstar brought up having a family of his own. "I think I'll have to pass on that." He meowed almost embarrassed. "I don't think anyone would want to deal with me that much, plus I've never really been apart of a family." He quickly shook his head as if trying to get rid of his thoughts before continuing. "Besides, I like playing with them and then giving them back to the queens. Even though they get mad at me for making them hyper.." He chucked.
