Stormcloud purred and nuzzled Kinkfire’s cheek before moving forward, “I’m glad you do.” He said, “It’s one of my many likable traits.” (this is my last post for Stormcloud.) Poppyflame was still helping with the camp wall, her paws sore from being poked by many of the brambles. Despite that, she kept up with weaving them into the wall, wanting to make it stronger. Ravenflight padded over to his younger sister with more materials dragging behind him, “You should get some rest soon.” He suggested to her, dropping the branches.

Moon: Hiddendream sighed softly looking at their father a frown on her face before she let out a shaky breath, "I don't think grieving works that way Eaglesight," she told him sadly looking back at her brother. Her tail tip twitched back and forth rather unsure about this, maybe she should stay silent for awhile. ~~ Blazer: "Maybe....yeah I can see that," Raccoonmask sighed just thinking about it, a leaders mentality. She honestly couldn't picture herself in there position, the pressure and having an entire clan looking up to you for support and guiding them. She would die for her clan but that pressure alone would make her body crack under it. She moved to press against her brother, "Im thankful you are back though....safe," she whispered. Songbreeze shuddered not looking at him as she closed her eyes she didn't speak for a few moments. Her breathing faltering slightly as she tried not to cry again. It is her fault she couldn't keep them alive she was supposed to protect them, keep them safe. And yet she couldn't even do that and they died before they could take there first breath. Not even lifting her head she whimpered slightly, "I should have done better....done something different....I was supposed to protect them. What kind of a mother am I?" she didn't even look at him. "I'm thankful to be back, Raccoonmask." Cardinalblaze murmured, letting his sister press close to him before he touched his nose to her cheek in return. He looked at her and mewed. "We should bring that moss back...I want to make sure that Cedarstar is doing alright, and if there's anything he needs of me." "No, Songbreeze..." Lionscorch's eyes flashed with desperation. "It wasn't you. You couldn't have saved them." He felt a twinge of bitterness in his heart, beginning to feel ever more cross with Starclan. Of all to be lost, they had to take from Songbreeze? Had to take Onyxtip amongst their ranks, and his daughters? He shuffled his paws lightly, peering down at his mate. "You are a wonderful mother. I know you will be."

Leopardshadow gave a shrug, “I don’t think you missed anything important.” She said, “Everything was peaceful before the fire. And what about you? What kind of adventure did you have in the twolegplace?” Foxshadow let out a light cough as she weaved more brambles into the elders den, wanting to make sure the elders were warm at night. “Less of an adventure as much as it was an exercise in stealth. Kittypets and rouges are as loud as I remember. But they win in numbers...Hmp. We were guided out by a helpful kittypet though. I never thought I would see the day, but she guided us well.” Talltalon offered a rare nod of respect. Leopardshadow chuckled at that, “The idea of a kittypet helping you is hard to imagine.” She said, giving him a light nudge.

“Should you be working?” Ferretclaw asked worriedly as he moved up next to Foxshadow. “You’re lungs are still damaged.” Foxshadow looked up and gave Ferretclaw a light smile, “I’ll be alright.” She rasped, “I feel useless just letting everyone else do all the work.”

Talltalon rumbled, before he gave a light sigh and admitted. "Perhaps I was too quick to judge, though. Without her, we would have been gone for far longer. The worst part was the barrage of scents. It was disorienting, and monster stomachs are horrible."

Treadtail flinched once more and hung his head sadly. "Oh... okay." With that he slunk away toward the warriors den, wanting to just stay out of the way. I can't do anything right can I? Stupid Treadtail! You're not worthy of being in Shadowclan. You're not worthy of being in any of the clans!

Leopardshadow smiles, “Then I’m glad she helped you.” She said, looking away and flicking her ear, “And I’m glad you made it back safely.” Leopardshadow added before looking back at him.

(They were going to check the borders, right? Do you want to jump to the border page?)
Kinkfire purred and pressed against him. "We should check Fourtrees while we're out there too. Cedarstar wants that territory for hunting until the prey returns."
"Poppyflame, have you taken a break yet?" Frogleap padded over to his littermate, his headed in worry for her. "You've been at this all morning."
Russetshade glanced back at her brother and let out a sigh. She had been working on the nursery all morning and she pulled off of it to inspect Ravenflight's brambles. "I'll rest when I feel better about how these dens look. What about you, you've been looking for brambles all morning, haven't you?"

Yeah, sure!)
Stormcloud nodded in agreement, “Sounds like a plan. Maybe Fourtrees has some prey we can catch.” He added. (To border page!)
Poppyflame looked up at Frogleap, “I’m fine.” She said, looking back down at the branches she was weaving in, her tail twitching slightly, “I want to at least make sure the camp wall doesn’t have any holes in them.”
Ravenflight nodded and pushed the brambles over to Russetshade carefully, “It’s a lot harder to find them now that everything is smoke and ash.” He grumbled, “And everything that I do find is too brittle to be of much use. And you shouldn’t overwork yourself either.” He added, looking at his sister sternly, “You could get sick.”

Talltalon gazed at her for a few moments, more appreciative of the words than he expected to be. Starclan, he truly did feel something towards her, didn't he? He had once believed he was simply incapable of caring for another cat in such a way. Even so, he couldn't deny it like a young apprentice. He opened his jaws, hesitating, before he released a soft sigh. "I'm glad to be back too...Especially with you, once again. Leopardshadow, if I can be honest...I thought of you often, moreso than anyone else. I believe that means something...even if I've never experienced this before."

(I'm sure there's someone who could stop him, Z.)
(I'll post on the border page, Ice!)
"I understand that, but the Clan doesn't need you to pass out from exhaustion too." Frogleap flicked his ear and sighed. "I don't think Snowdance has any herbs that help with that."
"I know." Russetshade sighed. She lifted the brambles to start weaving into the nursery. "But I just can't stand sitting still. It...It makes me think of our parents."

Maybe Littlemoon? She seems like the kind of cat that would be good at helping others through things. I was gonna have Treadtail start to leave camp, thinking it's for the best. Maybe Littlemoon runs into him and he tells her what he's doing and tries to run away but she stops him??))

Ashrock lashed his tail as he treaded through the territory. He growled to himself about what Stonesong and Coalpaw had said. They just didn't understand! It didn't make sense as to why Stonesong would love him. Why Coalpaw admired him so much? He had done terrible things to the Clan for his own selfish reasons--even though he thought those reasons were justified. Northstar made the right choice in choosing Cedarstar, Ashrock snorted to himself. It honestly hurt to admit it, but Ashrock saw the way Cedarstar fought so hard to save their clanmates. To save Owlshadow from the fire and Crowfur, and he even stuck around to drag Littlemoon out of the flames. Ashrock had given up on Owlshadow and Roseleaf and Quailfrost when it got too dangerous. He only saved Stonesong because...well...Ashrock snorted. They don't know what they're talking about. He stubbornly grit his teeth when Coalpaw's words sounded in his mind once again. I don't like Stonesong. What got that into his soft, little head? Ashrock snorted and looked around the territory. He should hunt, but with how badly his paws were hurting him, he wasn't sure he could be silent enough. I don't think Stonesong has eaten, though. He wouldn't put it past her to skip a meal, the selfless furball. I better make sure she eats. Then maybe he could take Coalpaw out for a session just to shut him up for a while. The thought had Ashrock pausing and the reminder that he was still confined to the medicine den ran like a bell in his mind. He couldn't take Coalpaw out. But it's not like Cedarstar can do anything about it. Ashrock flicked his tail and glanced in the direction of camp. Likely, Cedarstar wouldn't know that Ashrock was disobeying orders and taking Coalpaw training unless someone told him. Likely, no one would notice if he took Coalpaw training. No one but Stonesong ever paid attention to him anymore. Yet, he didn't want Cedarstar getting angry with him again. He'd ruin his shot at proving himself if he disobeyed orders. "Fox-heart," Ashrock scolded himself and got up to search for prey. If Cedarstar wasn't going to forgive him, then maybe he should just do things his own way. If the Clan would let him get away with it, of course.

Sounds good))
Treadtail stopped short of the warriors den, something Ratmask said finally setting in. Why haven't you just left to be a kittypet already? He had said that... and Treadtail was so far into self-contempt that now... he believed it. If he was of no good to the clan then why should he be here? He merely taking up space and prey that could be put to better use. No one even liked him here... it was better to do this. Turning away from the den he looked over the camp, his home, one more time, taking in the sights and sounds of his clanmates. With that, the tom set his pawsteps toward the camp entrance, walking with purpose for the first time since his accident with the monster.

"Oh, hey Treadtail." Littlemoon was sitting outside the camp entrance as it was her turn to stand guard. She smiled when Treadtail padded past her, but then tilted her head at him when she realized he was alone. "Where are you going? No one is allowed to leave the camp by themselves. Cedarstar ordered it." Granted, Ashrock had left just a few minutes ago by himself, but that was Ashrock. It wasn't like Littlemoon could tell him what to do.

Treadtail turned to look at the small white she-cat, his gaze steady and even for once even as he let out a shaky breath. "Speaing of Cedarstar... tell him he won't need to worry about me anymore. I'm leaving for good. I'm gling to two-leg place." With that he turned and started padding away, his eyes trained in front of him as he fought to not turn around and go back to his life, to his home.

Treadtail halted and looked over his shoulder. "Ratmask was right when he spoke to me earlier. I'm useless to the clan now. Ever since that day I've been... you know. I can't do aything for this clan. It's just a waste for me to be here and it's not like anyone actually wants me here to start with anyway!" His shaking had begun once more.

"Uh, Treadtail, you're a frogbrain if you listen to Ratmask." Littlemoon glanced around before she suddenly ran after Treadtail, getting in front of him to cut him off. "Ratmask is a foxheart and you should never take what he says to heart because its not true. You're not useless at all. Sure, your fear gets the better of you most of the time, but the kits love to play with you."

Russetshade sighed. She lifted the brambles to start weaving into the nursery. "But I just can't stand sitting still. It...It makes me think of our parents." Poppyflame sighed and sat back from the camp wall, “I just... I just want to do something. I feel restless.” She said, raising one of her paws and licking it to try and relieve some of the soreness. “I feel like I’ll go crazy if I just sit on my tail and do nothing.” Ravenflight moved next to Russetshade and started to help weave the brambles in, “How are you holding up?” He asked, looking at her sideways. They hadn’t been able to talk much since they discovered that their parents hadn’t made it out of the fire. If he was being honest with himself, he would admit that he had been keeping himself busy to distract himself from thinking of them.

Frogleap flicked his ear. "I know what you mean. I've been out hunting three times today already." He took a deep breath and looked around the camp. "The camp is coming along nicely though. Everyone is working hard to provide. I even saw Closesky and Falcontalon helping out." He looked at his sister. "You should rest though. One of the other warriors can continue working on this wall. I saw Houndthroat taking a nap earlier, I'm sure we could get him to finish this for you."
Russetshade slowly shook her head. "I don't know...I...I keep thinking I'll turn around and they'll be there. I keep thinking Scorchfire will call a patrol together or Icefire would help me with these brambles."

Do you know just how many times I've tried making close friends or finding a mate just for my heart to end up broken because they wanted someone else?" He took a deep breath. "Ratmask doesn't have to tell me it... I already knew it. I can't hunt well because I shake too much and scare off the prey. I flinch and run when it comes to fighting. I'm worthless and Shadowclan deserves better than me."

"You're just scared, Treadtail and that's nothing to be ashamed of." Littlemoon her head. "What is to be ashamed of is not trying to be better. Everyone in the Clan has flaws, but we all work on them for the sake of the Clan. I don't speak up when I should, but I'm working on that. Spiderfang used to be deathly afraid of fire, but she overcame that fear for the sake of the Clan. You can't let fear stop you from what you were born to be and you were born to be a ShadowClan warrior, Treadtail."

Something they do that helps the clan as a whole. I don't have that. I'm not good at anything!" By now he had tears brimming his eyes. "I can't do anything right no matter how hard I try... and I've been trying for so long with so little results."

Littlemoon flicked her ear and shook her head. "Really, Treadtail? Are you trying? Have you been trying to help rebuild the camp since the fire? Have you gone on any patrols to help feed the Clan or check the borders? Or have you just been cowering in the corner of camp too frightened to move? If you support your clanmates, your clanmates will support you. If you put in effort to help, everyone will help you. How would you feel if everyone just sat in the corner wallowing in their own fear and not doing anything? You have keep trying even if you don't get results right away. Otherwise, if you run, you'll only be a coward to the Clan and you'll never be able to return."
