(HEY BBYS. I think we forgot to make forms for the TallLeopard kits, so I might go do that real quick, and ye, we're on a patrol to go to Cedarstar to check the weird scent (Coyote)).
Rustlepaw lead the warriors through the marshes, stepping as quickly as she could and zeroing in on Cedarstar's scent. She could tell that there was no fresh scent, so Cedarstar must have stayed where he was. As they got closer, the odd scent began to come through again.
"What in Starclan is that?" Lynxdapple muttered, voicing his disgust as his muzzle wrinkled at the powerful scent. "Ugh, that... that's something I've never scented before. It smells like a dog rolling in crowfood!" He bristled, the small tom's pelt spiking up.

Stormcloud’s nose twitched in disgust as he caught the new scent and shook his head, “Well, it’s certainly not something we’ve come across before.” He mewed, fur bristling along his spine.

"It was odd, and new. I... I was unsure, so I called over Cedarstar, and that's when he told me to go to camp and get some cats to come back with me." Rustlepaw explained, her ears flat as she felt uneasy with the scent once more. "I really, really don't like it. It's messing with my senses." The blind apprentice fretted.

Cedarstar followed the scent trail to the back border. He hid in the shadows of the territory and scanned the border with narrow eyes. The strange scent still lingered, but he determined it came from beyond their territory. We'll have to increase patrols.
Kinkfire twitched her nose when she caught scent of what Rustlepaw was talking about. "I've never scented anything that foul. Even the carrionplace smells better."

Rustlepaw felt nervous, realizing that not even the senior Warriors knew what this scent was. She assumed that maybe her youth was the reason she didn't know, but no cat knew? She sped up, now worried for Cedarstar. "Cedarstar should be back around here. The border is coming up. We scented the odd scent on a torn up piece of crowfood, almost out beyond Shadowclan territory... Uhm, I never asked but, what is beyond the territory that way?" She asked back towards Kinkfire and Stormcloud.

Are they near the carrion place or the WindClan border?? I can’t remember x.x)

"I'm going to flay my brother if he's engaged whatever this is alone." Kinkfire hissed. She flicked her ear when Rustlepaw asked her question. "It's unclaimed territory where you can find rogues and loners trying to escape the twoleggedplace. It's also too close to the twoleggedplace to do us much good. They like to dump their junk back there. Not a lot of prey either."

Ah okay, thanks ^.^)
Stormcloud scented the air again, shaking his head at the scent, “I’m sure Cedarstar has enough sense to wait for us before engaging an unknown enemy.” He said, trying to ease his mate’s worry. At least, he hoped their leader wouldn’t be so reckless.

They like to dump their junk back there. Not a lot of prey either." "It's frog-brained, but not out of character for Cedarstar." Lynxdapple admitted with a light sigh, though it was clear there was no disrespect in the small tom's voice. Instead, he chuckled lightly. "His courage is unmatched. Kinkfire is right though. Back beyond this border is land that no clan would have use for. They say the streams are dried, or filled with sick water. Twolegs like to make rackets there too, and bring their dogs." He hummed at that. "Maybe this scent is just... hm, a dirty carrion-eating dog?" He offered, though it was clear the scent was not similar to most dogs. "Oh, that sounds dreadful." Rustlepaw fretted, already feeling a headache thinking about all the harsh noises and scents she would have to endure if she went past the border. Her ears lifted though, as she scented Cedarstar's scent again, stronger. "Cedarstar?" She called out, voice neither loud nor soft.

Kinkfire glanced at her mate. "Cedarstar doesn't have the sense to listen to Snowdance and let Ashrock out of the medicine den, so I often question what's going through his mind." She looked back at Lynxdapple and frowned at his suggestion. "If it's a carrion eating dog, then the thing must be sick. We don't know what kind of diseases it may bring to the territory."
Cedarstar tilted his ear back when he caught his apprentice's call. He backed out of the bush to meet the patrol several fox lengths away from the border. "Rustlepaw informed you what's going on?"

"She did, and the awful scent that's never once crossed our muzzles before did as well." Lynxdapple nodded to Cedarstar, relieved to see the leader unharmed. He glanced at Kinkfire, nodding at her words. If it was an ill dog, then they needed to be even more careful. Kinkfire's intuition was one to be trusted, and the senior Warrior trusted it completely. "I'm sorry it took a while." Rustlepaw dipped her head, facing a bit to the side of Cedarstar. "I uhm... the scent was a bit dizzying for me once we got closer."

“Whatever it was seems to be gone now.” Stormcloud commented, noticing the scent carried on past the border. He looked across the border, wondering just where it went off to. “Do you think there’s a chance it’ll come back?”

He looked across the border, wondering just where it went off to. “Do you think there’s a chance it’ll come back?” "I hope not..." Rustlepaw swallowed, looking over towards the tree where the torn up crowfood was still strewn, able to still smell the strong scent. "I can tell you how it smells, but... uhm, I imagine you all can see how bad it must look. When I felt it, I couldn't even tell what kind of prey it was anymore." "Starclan..." Lynxdapple gasped, toeing closer to the torn up prey with wide eyes. "That... I've never seen prey torn up so violently like this without being eaten. It's as if whatever was here took a bite and played with the rest of it like strips of moss." He bristled, feeling uneasy. "I don't have any jokes for this one. This is serious..." He swallowed.

(I'm probably gonna be poofy)
"You did well, Rustlepaw." Cedarstar nodded to his apprentice. He flicked his ear listening to the warriors. "If something mauled prey that badly and is potentially the size of a dog, then we can't assume our territory will be safe. Whatever it was doesn't care about borders." He looked back at the border, his tail flicking thoughtfully. "No one should be leaving the territory by themselves and I'll make sure Cloudscar ups the patrols. We need to get eyes on this thing before anyone engages."
Kinkfire glanced at Lynxdapple and her mate and nodded in agreement with Cedarstar.

Stormcloud nodded in agreement, his ear flicking in slight worry. What if this ting found its way to their camp when they least expect it? The camp had finally recovered from the fire, it would be nice if they had some peace for once.

Lynxdapple shared Kinkfire's look, feeling a flicker of determination in him. Shadowclan had already lost enough, they didn't need to lose more to whatever was prowling around the outer border lands.

Stormcloud looked over at Cedarstar as he spoke to him and flicked his tail, “What if this thing finds our camp?” He mewed, repeating his concerns to his leader and pointing at the crowfood with his tail, “If it’s capable of doing that to a piece of prey, who’s to say it can’t do the same to us? Or one of our kits?”

Cedarstar flicked his ear a couple times. Stormcloud made a valid point. "We'll add a few more guard positions at night and during the day when the Clan sleeps. With enough eyes and ears out there, nothing will be able to get the drop on us."

"I'll be happy to guard whenever you need me to." Lynxdapple nodded. "Or, poke around in hard to reach places for any more scents, I'm pretty good at that." The small Warrior offered knowingly, letting himself calm quickly at Cedarstar's assured order. He knew Shadowclan could remain stable, with Cedarstar's steadfast decision-making.
"Me too." Rustlepaw nodded. "If my scenting is better because of my lack of sight, then I'll do whatever I can to help with tracking." She wanted to both impress her mentor and help her clan, knowing her mother and father would do the same.

Cedarstar smiled gratefully at Lynxdapple and Rustlepaw. His sister rolled her eyes at him, but that just told him he had her support. "Stormcloud, Lynxdapple, why don't you help me refresh the border. Kinkfire, Rustlepaw, head back to camp and start gathering everyone together. I'll make an announcement to everyone when I get back."

He marked a portion of it, though his mind wandered as to what the strange scent could be. "Oh! Alright." Rustlepaw shuffled her paws, a part of her wanting to stay, but also relieved that she didn't have to be around that awful scent. She turned her head to scent towards Kinkfire, slipping towards her and hoping she looked better than she felt.
