Buck hesitated, bristling. He wasn't sure what his intentions were but he hoped the young she-cat at least caught the prey she was stalking. He exited slowly, staying hesitantly away from the two cats, but enough to be in their eyesight. His scratches from the bush ached slightly, scraping across his short fur. He had heard a little bit about the clan cats, but they sure didn't look to fericous now. He glared, his yellow eyes narrowed, waiting for more direction on the cats across from him.

Charlie glanced mournfully at her paws, unsure of why her twolegs had intentions of leaving her to starve with only her teeth to defend herself. With a small sigh, she lifted her elegant head to sniff out any more food. Back to scavenging garbages bins. The kittypet-turned-loner jumped to her paws at the voices of others, demanding she show herself. Maybe they can help.. without much thought, Charlie stalked out to where the clancats were.

The young cat nodded in agreement of Brackenpaw's suggestion. She knew the sun wasn't completely set yet, for light still filtered through the canopy overhead. Once they made it out the forest, maybe it would be brighter since most the trees wouldn't be producing shade. The bi-colored apprentice wasn't a fan of the dark, especially in situations like this.Though Ivypaw was grateful to have her clanmate by her side as they found their way back home. She wouldn't know what she could have done without him around. Ivypaw was suddenly aware of Brackenpaw's torn ear. Worry sparked in her chest and she sniffed it. "Are you alright?"
Nettlesplash was almost shaky with relief as Graywhisker allowed her to lean on him. She had never in her life been in so much pain. The she-cat was sure her leg was broken. "I can't tell," she mewed through clenched teeth. "It hurts all over." The idea of resting sounded wonderful to Nettlesplash, but the urge to go home and seek help for her injury was stronger. She shook her head briefly, saying she would rather get home sooner than lay around some more.

Brackenpaw padded with Ivypaw in the direction of the river. When she asked about his ear, he nodded. "Yeah, actually, it was kind of my fault. I was in a rush to find somecat and accidently tore it from under a rock," he explained a little sheepishly. "You look alright," he added, "but is anything hurting? -Not that I could do anything about it though...."

Ivypaw's green eyes widened at his explanation for his injury. That sounded quite painful! If that had happened to her, she was sure she wouldn't be acting as calm as Brackenpaw. When he asked about her own wounds, Ivypaw had to check her pelt. She did feel pain, but couldn't pinpoint the source. Her head kind of stung and she felt pain in her paws ached; she also found a few scratches on her flank. "Not too badly," Ivypaw informed her friend, half assuring herself as well. She had been worried something worse had been wrong.

Brackenpaw sighed, "That's good." He saw the river up ahead now and noticed now how wide it was. The overflow had enlarged the river. A little further back he could see where he had crossed over. The apprentice paused to take note of the river and saw a twig floating down toward the wall of debris. "The river flows down from camp," he murmured, "so then... we follow it up and that should lead toward camp," he finished with a little more confidence. He started up the river along the side of the flowing water. After a short while of traveling, he mewed, "You know, I'm really glad we ran into each other. I was really worried I had ended up out here alone," he confided.

Pebblepaw pushed out of the herb stores alongside Rainpaw. "Littlefower and I have been taking care of Tinykit.. I was sorting your herb stores, to see what would need collected." The young she-cat mewed to the Medicine Cat. "I gave Tinykit borage for his fever.. You did that for Rainpaw when he had a fever." She said nervously. "My paw is hurt, but I can barely feel the pain. I can wait until everyone else is checked over." She mewed, nudging Rainpaw towards the den entrance. "We can go see if Maplerose needs help with the nests."
Arrowstar nodded, pushing slowly out of the bush towards the kittypet as the mouse ran away. "Hello," he greeted her, trying to appear friendly to her.. But he didn't really know how. "I'm Arrowstar.." His tail lficked to Echoblaze. "This is Echoblaze." His eyes moved, dark green landing on the nearby tom cat. He flicked his tail in greeting, hoping the cat would approach him.
Graywhisker grew strong, letting the tom lean into him. "Let's get you to camp and to Birchleaf." He said, purring for a moment as he took a step forward, making sure the she-cat was fine before he began movin forward.

Charlie hadn't ever met one of the forest cats before, and didn't really know what to expect. She purred softly at his greeting, then sat back on her haunches in a relaxed manner. Her ribs were visible through her pelt, a result of being domesticated and abandoned. "Charlie. Can I help you..?" she asked quietly.

(I meant to say, I'm so sorry for being MIA for so long. I got sick, and then stressed out over some things. SOrry!)
Arrowstar slowly sat in front of her, trying to appear relaxed. "We're looking for survivors of our clan..."

(That's alright!)
The bicolor she-cat tilted her head and thought for a moment. "I really haven't seen any other cats out here, aside from him." she gestured towards Buck, but didn't mention anything else about him. "I could help you search, if you'd like." I really could use some help myself..

Arrowstar looked over her nervously. "We could use the help." He said softly, dipping his head as he looked her over. "And we could help you hunt?" He suggested, glancing over at Echoblaze.

((Long post is long XD An that's just Birchleaf.))
Birchleaf snorted, grabbing Pebblepaw by the scruff and bringing her back inside the den. "Not so fast, little one," She said as she set the Apprentice down near Tinykit, eyes sharp. She turned her head to Rainpaw. "You go help Maplerose," She nodded to him, "But rest if you feel the need to. Don't push yourself, we don't need more sick cats on top of all this."
Birchleaf turned back to Pebblepaw. "If you've been through my stores, then you obviously know a bit about herblore. You can stay and help me. I'll need someone to run around for me, so we'll get you some Dandelion leaves if there's any left for the bit of pain you feel and you can go to Foxpounce and see if you can wake him." She nodded briskly and padded quickly into her stores.
Birchleaf hummed at the way Pebblepaw had tried to help, quickly finding a few scraggly Dandelion leaves left. She grabbed them and took them out to the Apprentice. "Chew these. It should dull the pain without making you sleepy as Poppy does," She instructed, "Off you go. If Foxpounce can walk, bring him here. If he can't, find as much as you can that's wrong with him and bring me the information."
"Now," She began, mind racing, "Icespark, find a nest and rest. If we're not careful, all this stress could cause your kittens to come early. If you feel any pain whatsoever, tell me immediately. I'll bring you some Thyme in a moment. Willowshade, set Rosekit in another and start cleaning her." She turned to Littleflower, "You can stay of you wish. It may help keep Tinykit calm. Keep cleaning him if you can."
She nudged Swankit gently to the side and lay down to look Tinykit in the eyes, humming. She frowned slightly before asking the kit, "Tinykit, did you hit your head at all?"

Willowshade scanned the medicine cat den, looking for some empty place for Rosekit to settle. After a moment, she brought Rosekit to a nest like Birchleaf had instructed. She promptly got to work on cleaning the little cat, worry clouding her thoughts.
Littleflower nodded,"Of course," she mewed. The warrior padded back over to Tinykit, sitting opposite of Birchleaf. She got back to grooming out the mud, glad that she could do this to help.
Echoblaze watched as Arrowstar and Charlie interacted. He glanced over at the brush when the ex-kittypet mentioned some other cat and could pick out the scent of rogue now that he knew what war around him. "Thank you, we'll be sure to take you up on that offer," he agreed with his leader. "I'll go find something now, if that's okay with you, Arrowstar?"

Yarrowpelt returned from hunting with his apprentice, Mallowpaw, padding feebly by his side. He glanced at his apprentice worriedly. She was always the excitable, ready-for-anything type of she-cat. However, as they still had not found her brother, Foxheart, after the flood, she had been fairly quiet.
"I hope this is enough," Yarrowpelt mews around his lizard, hoping to cheer up the apprentice. Mallowpaw looks at him quizzically, "You know it won't be."

Pebblepaw's small silver paws scrabbled for a moment on the rock as the medicine cat hauled her back into the den. She lowered her head, gray eyes focused on Tinykit before looking up at Birchleaf. She was waiting to be chewed out for touching her stores or giving Tinykit borage. As she spoke though, she sat up straighter. She nodded, taking the dandelion leaves and beginning to chew. As she finished them, she looked at Birchleaf for a moment, heading towards the Elder's Den as asked. She slipped into it, looking at Foxpounce before she crouched, gently nudging him. "Foxpounce, wake up.." She mewed.
Rainpaw threw a glance at his sister before he headed across the clearing towards Maplerose. "Birchleaf sent me to help." He said, looking up at the Warrior. "What do you need me to do?"
Icespark nodded to the medicine cat, moving towards the empty den near the entrance. Fishfur moved with her, making sure her daughter was settled into the nest before lapping at her head before pushing out of the den in silence to see if there were any other cats to take hunting. "I can do a few things," she queen said wearily, looking around the den that was filling up quickly.
Arrowstar nodded to Echoblaze. "Go ahead," he said softly, nodding to him. "I'll talk to..." His tail flicked towards Charlie, waiting for her to introduce him.
Fishfur looked up as Yarrowpelt and Mallowpaw entered the ruined camp, she dipped her head to them in greeting as she approached. "How was the hunting?" She asked worriedly, tail flicking nervously. She glanced back towards the Medicine Cat's den. "We have several injured we will need to feed."

Yarrowpelt trotted into camp, deposited his pray on the make-shift fresh-kill pile, and sat to clean his silvery-white paws, amber eyes shining as Mallowpaw trotted off to Poplarmew. The two sisters leaned on each other for comfort, bowing their heads in mourning. The silver tabby stood and shook himself before eyeing the half-Clan. He breathed in the scent of Arrowstar and Echoblaze and began to follow their trail. He wanted to help his leader in every way possible. Then, his vision went black. Letting out a hiss of surprise, he tensed and moved to leap back, but his paws seemed rooted in place. Yarrowpelt could just make out the clearing in which the broken Clan was sheltering. Then, he saw to ghostly figures padding towards the entrance, heads bent together, whispering. In shock, he recognized the cat on the right as Arrowstar, and the cat on the left, Echoblaze. His eyesight snapped back so quickly it made him jump. What had just happened? Shaking his pelt and stomach tight with fear, he padded into the forest, following the muddy pawprints his Clanmates had left. He used eyesight and his ears only, not daring to know what would happen if he breathed scent in again.

"Scant." Yarropelt replied, dipping his head towards Fishfur. "The whole forest seems to be on pause, waiting for the rain to make its final blow." He pads past the tom and sets their prey down on the make-shift fresh-kill pile, and Mallowpad strides towards her sister.

Fishfur's ears flicked nervously before she nodded to the tom. "I'm going to go hunting then." She said, heading out of the makeshift camp again, glancing once at the medicine cat den, worried to be leaving Icespark behind.
(Also, I debated for a while. Flashstrike is officially dead. RIP.)

Foxpounce shifted at the soft voice calling for him. A pained mew came from his lips as he raised his head to see the silver tabby Apprentice. "Pebblepaw," He meowed, pushing himself up a bit further, "What's wrong?" The pain he had felt before was dull now, the poppy seeds doing their job, to the point where only moving too much was causing a few sharp pains to overcome the herb. He felt better as well, for having gotten even a bit of sleep. His mind had cleared of the fog that had overcome him earlier. The bright red tabby winced as moving jarred his front right leg where it dangled, unusable.
~~~~~~~~~
Maplerose looked up from her task as Rainpaw approached. She spared a brief smile for the Apprentice, through the worry and sorrow that weighed on her. "Oh, hello Rainpaw," She purred, setting down the bundle of old bedding, "I'm glad to see you well. Arrowstar wants all the old nests made into new ones. I've been dragging what's salvageable out to dry, but I was just about to start rebuilding nests." She motioned to the moss she had brought out first. "I'm glad for the help. The Warrior and Apprentice dens were almost totally destroyed, but the Leader's, Elder's and Medicine Cat's are all intact. Carry that moss into the Leader's den, please. We'll start there."
~~~~~~~~~
Birchleaf sighed, tired as she looked over to Icespark. "I know you're capable, Icespark," She replied, wearily sitting up again, "But the fact is that doing too much will bring on your kits. I have Rosekit and Tinykit to fuss over, Foxpounce has gotten himself hurt, Pebblepaw's paw is going to start hurting again and will need rest, my stores have been reduced to barely anything and StarClan only knows how many of our other Clanmates are hurt." Her gaze sharpened as she locked eyes with the queen. "I do not have the time or the energy for a kitting if I can prevent it," She explained clearly, exhaustion in every line of her body. She hadn't slept since the flood had washed her from Camp, and it was looking like she wouldn't get to anytime soon. "So please," She said, turning back to Tinykit, "Just rest a while, then you can do some jobs around Camp."

Yarrowpelt picked up a brisk run and pelted through the forest in the direction of Arrowstar's pawsteps. He skidded into the clearing, surprised to see a brown-and-white kittypet sitting before the leader. Wanting to appear serine and mature, the young tom sat behind Arrowstar and laid his tail neatly over his paws, waiting to be introduced. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mallowpaw padded into the Medicine Den and tapped Birchleaf on the shoulder. "I can help." She said softly. Shifting her weight in a way so the medicine cat wouldn't see the wide gash across her shoulder blades, she smiled and looked around. "I know basic herbs, since I started as a medicine cat, then converted to a warrior apprentice."

Pebblepaw | Falconclan's Elder Den |
Pebblepaw sniffed at him for a moment as he woke and carefully looked over his front leg for a moment. "Birchleaf sent me to check on you," she responded, raising her head to look at his face. "I don't think you can move to the her den however," her tail flicked towards his front leg. "How are you feeling?" She asked, sitting down and wrapping her long tail around her paws. "I'll tell her that your leg is broken.. Is there anything else I should know?"
Rainpaw | Falconclan Camp |
Rainpaw tried to act cheerful towards the warrior as she spoke. He knew it must be hard, especially as a warrior, to be dealing with the mess of the camp... He nodded at her directions and picked up the moss carefully, bounding across the camp towards the Leader's den. The dampness of his pelt, the scrapes possibly hiding beneath his thick pelt hadn't caught up with him yet. He moved up the rocks into the the cave Arrowstar called his home.
Icespark | Falconclan's Medicine Cat Den |
Icespark nodded slightly as she looked at Birchleaf. "I'm sorry," she whispered, lowering her head and placing her chin on her paws which were on the edge of the nest. "I feel worthless is all." She said softly, trying to close her eyes. "Wake me if you need me to chew something up, or sort, or lick a kit." With that she began to slowly doze off.
Arrowstar | Falconclan territory, near the two-leg place |
Arowstar looked over at Yarrowpelt, dipping his head in greeting. "Hello Yarrowpelt," he said, before his gaze returned to Charlie in front of him.

Charlie was a bit startled by the newcoming tom, but didn't say anything and her fur almost immediately laid flat once again. The scrawny, newly-made loner smiled as best as she could and swiveled her ears forward. "Charlie." the bicolor tabby finished for the leader "That'd be wonderful." she purred in relief, casting a glance towards her paws without saying anything.

The small she-cat didn't reply right away, her gaze going distant for a moment as she glanced at the ground. "Gone." Charlie mumbled simply, knowing she would get emotional if she explained any farther. She definitely didn't want to appear weak to these wildcats, either.

Lifting her head, she let out a small purr. "I think I'd be better off with you forest cats than on my own." the once-kittypet agreed quietly, lifting a paw for the leader to examine. It was clear now, that her paws lacked something most cats needed- claws.
