Swanfeather nodded enthusiastically. "I'm sure." She shuffled her paws on the ground, kicking up a bit of dirt impatiently.

Eaglewing sighed at Sparrowstar's words. Missing kits? That's horrible. I can't imagine what is going through the mother's head right now... He shook his head, heart being gripped by deep sorrow. "We'll find them, Sparrowstar." He said, tone full of determination and confidence. The muscular tom turned to Mistyfur and sharply nodded to her. "No time to waste." He said in reply, looking eagerly towards the camp enterence.
(Who else is in the patrol? I wanna know who to tag :'D)

Foxrunner stood after a period of waiting and padded over to the fresh-kill pile. Sniffing around for a moment, the ginger she-cat selected a pair of plump-looking mice and returned to Swanfeather. "Here, if you're hungry," she mumbled through the prey, dropping one of them at the white warrior's feet and settling down a little ways away with her own.

Jadepaw nodded and pranced off, a skip in her step as she trotted over to the trove and slowly, carefully placed the vine inside--there was no sense in ruining the treasure with clumsiness after everything they'd been through to get it. "I can't wait to see all of this put up when we finish collecting it!" She purred, her emerald eyes sparkling. "What now?" "Thank you all," Sparrowstar replied grimly, dipping her head with gratitude and dismissing the three warriors to start searching. "I know I can trust the three of you to find them for me." ( sand Firestrike is also on the patrol :3) Firestrike nodded, sheathing and unsheathing his claws with nerves at the thought of the kits wandering alone in the territory. "Let's go--the faster we find them, the better," he commented, catching the look of impatience in his clanmates' eyes.

Swanfeather blinked gratefully at her friend. "You've been such a great help." She shuffled her three paws, all of which were okay. Leaning down, she took a bite of the prey.

He said with a jerk of his head to the entrance. He beckoned them with his tail, silently and slowly padding through to opening between the blades of grass of the entrance. "Sparrowstar said that they were here this morning," The muscular tom said confidently before finishing, "they can't be that far."

Mistyfur fell in behind Eaglewing. "You never know with kits." She said, thinking of her own past experience.
"Yes, Sparrowclan. Moons ago, there was four clans in this forest. Ravenclan, Crowclan, Robinclan, and Sparrowclan. A violent plauge wiped out the others, and nearly wiped us out as well." Bramblepath, trying to explain Sparrowclan's backstory to the stranger.

Silverpaw padded down to his collection and stared at it. "I suppose we can add more..." he paused, thinking. He gasped and lashed his tail, eyes growing bright. "Ah! I know where some shells are," He said with excitement before continuing. "I saw some really shiny ones down by the stream!" He smiled at the memory of yesterday, spending some time after finding his spot to relax.

Foxrunner smiled, responding with a purr since her mouth was currently too occupied with the mouse to form a proper reply. She finished the small piece of prey in several bites, licking her lips clean and sitting up afterwards. She wondered if perhaps they should just go into the medicine den as Bramblepath hadn't come back out in a little while.

"We should try to look for a scent," Firestrike murmured, tipping back his head and parting his jaws to taste the air. He wasn't the best tracker by a long shot, but he filtered through the scents anyway, categorizing each as it wafted past his muzzle. Hopefully, one of the others pick up the scent. His tail waving, he padded a few steps forward, weaving across the trail. "We'll find them," he remarked to no one in particular.
"That sounds perfect!" Jadepaw purred, her eyes sparkling as she looked over her shoulder and cocked her head at Silverpaw. "Lead the way!" She turned around, shaking off the few leaves still clinging to her pelt and fluffing out her thick fur. Thr river will be perfect in this heat... She thought with a purr.

Silverpaw chuckled before padding through the trees into the outside territory. No one was in sight, only the two apprentices. "Um, I think the stream is over here..." he said, rethinking his steps. He leapt over an old log that was now crawling with termites, trying not to touch it and cringing in disgust. We should probably get that moved... the young tom thought with a flinch. Moving on, he padded closer and closer to the stream, picking up his pace a bit. Now he haulted at the water's edge. The water was clear and glistening. "Shells!" He said with a smile, pointing with his forepaw to a series of shells. With a careful dip of his paws into the the water, he plunged his head in and went bobbing for them. His head flew out with a pink-and-white shell, dropping it to the ground, he smiled with satisfaction.

Mistyfur felt her mind shifting into autopilot. She padded on after them for a few minutes, before a familiar smell hit her nose. "Hey guys! I think I found their trail!" She called out to them.
"I hate to tell you, I have only know of Starclan out of the six you mentioned. The only other clan I know exists is Hawkclan." Bramblepath said, almost apologetically. He glanced behind him out at the two cats needing treatment then back at Billystorm. "Give me a few more minutes, I need to help patch up my clanmates." With that, he bounded out torwards Swanfeather and Foxrunner.

Eaglewing had his nose to the ground, but no avail. The warrior usually has a fantastic sense of smell... but not today. Hopeless! he told himself, throwing his head in the air with frustration. But suddenly he heard Misyfur calling towards them with words he liked to hear. Yes! He thought to himself before bound over to her. "Great job, Mistyfur!" He thought it would be necessary to give her the brief praise due to being on the verge of giving up a minute ago.

Jadepaw' eyes lit up at the sight of the sparkling water, her pelt already itching in the heat of the direct sunlight now that they had left the comforting tree-cover behind. "Wow!" She purred, pausing just briefly as her paws slipped into the icy water before leaping in and splashing crystalline droplets in every direction. Dripping, she bobbed over to Silverpaw, fixing her eyes on the nearest shell. "That one's mine!" She purred, dipping under the water--and accidentally sending a shower of water at Silverpaw with her tail.
Firestrike raised his head at the sound of Mistyfur's call. As he padded toward her, inhaling deeply, the scent of kits began to tickle his nose. "Nice find!" He purred, widening his jaws to better scent the air. To no one in particular, he added, "Which direction did they go in?"

"Oh, I think I have a name for this little runt!" Said Fleetheart. She checked the gender of the kitten, it was a female. "Lets name her, Lilykit!" Fleetheart was very pleased with he name and she hoped that Alderblaze was too. (sorry for the short post!)

As her mind silently mapped out the territory, her heart slowly sank. "If I'm not mistaken, their heading torwards the Thunderpath." She said quietly.

Alderblaze nodded in agreement. "These are good names! We have Asterkit, Rowankit, Lilykit and Tigerkit!" The tom smiled in satisfaction. "Their eyes should open soon... maybe you should get some rest- I'll take care of the kits." He placed a brown tabby paw on his mate's black coat comfortably. "I'll tell you if anyone's eyes start to open, we have to watch that together." He chuckled and smiled. Alderblaze hauled Fleetheart slightly into a nest in the Nursery. He leaned over and licked her forehead before letting the kits crowd around him.
Silverpaw chuckled as Jadepaw dove into the cold, glistening waters. His sleek silver coat sliced through the water to pop out behind the fluffy shecat's back. With a mighty slash, water flew from the surface into Jadepaw's face. "Ha!" He said with an excited purr before sinking into the water to grab another shell. This one was shiny and pearl-white, looked great with the others!
Eaglewing felt himself tense. "No!" He snarled before bounding forward in powerful strides. "We can't give up— Follow me!" The warrior yowled to them over his shoulder. Leaping over logs and diving under hedges, he continued to follow the trail until he haunted at the thunderpath. He searched painfully at the pebbly grey path for any remains of the kits. "Wait.." he quietly thought out loud as he saw nothing but the scent still lingered. Spinning around to face them he exclaimed happily, "They are on the other side!"

Swanfeather bit into the prey, warm juices prickling beneath her tongue. The delicious flavor was a good distraction from the pain. It was nice just to sit here with Foxrunner.

Bramblepath scrambled out to Swanfeather and Foxrunner. "Okay then, what was the problem?" He asked as he got to them.
Mistyfur nodded. "If there's even the slightest possibility that happened, we need to check." She said, before walking up to the edge of the thunderpath.

Eaglewing nodded to Mistyfur, adrenaline pulsing through him. He took a brave and confident step onto the rocky road before a large, shiny monster flashed by and sent the warrior scurrying off. "Ehh.." he nervously smiled. "Want to all go at the same time?" He glanced back at the ignorant twolegs inside of their freakish creature.

Post by Jade on May 21, 2017 9:37:48 GMT -5
Firestrike nodded, pushing down the ice-cold dread pulsing through his body at the thought of the young kits wandering onto the territory. The three warriors were grown, strong, and well-trained, and they still felt a stab of fear each time they crossed the Thunderpath. Starclan, please let these kits still be alright, he thought silently as he raised his head and stepped confidently up to the edge of the black surface, already hot with sun. "Ready?" He cocked his head to Mistyfur and Eaglewing, waiting for the next monster to pass by. "Go!" With that, he shot off, barreling toward the other side.
"Hey!" Jadepaw yowled, almost spitting out the pink-and-cream shell clasped in her jaws as she came up for air only to be soaked by a barrage of water. "What was that for?" She teased, though the soft tinge of affection in her voice made her joke clear. Paddling over to the shore, she lay the shell carefully on the pile before spinning, her fluffy pelt dripping and a playful gleam in her eyes. "I'll get you for that!" She bared her teeth, leaping into the stream--careful to send a great wave toward Silverpaw as she did so.

Foxrunner nudged Swanfeather as Bramblepath approached. "Sorry to bother you," she meowed, "I know you're busy." she glanced over at the white she-cat, figuring that she could give a better explanation of the injury. Sitting up straighter, the ginger warrior gave her chest fur a few licks to flatten it, as it had been rumpled during their run through the forest.

"Nothing to worry about. As long as neither of you are having kits, or in shock, it'll be a much easier job than what I've been dealing with today." Bramblepath said to Foxrunner.

Firestrike kept running, only slowing his pace when he was safely on the other side, with grass and dirt beneath his paws. "Everyone okay?" He panted, looking around to see whether his clanmates had all made it.

Eaglewing listened to Firestrike's command and broke off into a spontaneous run for the other side. A shiny, red monster was as well rolling down the path with him, not knowing what to do, he leaped to grab whatever he could to pull into safety. He found himself on the opposite side and gave off a relieved sigh before snapping back to being serious. "Glad everyone is safe." he briefly meowed while cocking his head forward. Fear was nonexistent within him anymore, but replaced his determination and adrenaline.
Silverpaw chuckled, yet to widen his blue gaze when the large wave knocked him off his paws. His white paws slapped through the water's surface and his back legs thrashed to fight for air. Once his muzzle was lifted out of the water, he imminently broke into a laugh. "I can do better!" He said cockily before diving into the cool water, flailing his back legs to form another wave, heading straight for her this time.
