Goldheart leapt at the hare before it even knew what was happening. He landed on it's back, crushing it's spine quickly. He purred, staring up at Patchriver triumphantly. His stomach gurgled at the smell of the fresh meat. He smiled sheepishly, shaking his head. They should save it for the queens, they could eat later. "Lets bury it and then head toward the taller grasses to see if anything is hiding there." She turned to walk away before speaking again. "That was a great catch Goldheart." |

Birchstep nodded and let his group towards the twoleg dens. Hopefully they could find some prey there. “Are you two ok after the fire?”

Frostpetal purred and leaned into her mate's affectionate nuzzle. "Only as kind as you deserve my love, and not a rabbit tail more." She opened her eyes and gazed across the makeshift camp. "Hopefully we settle in quickly here" she said. Swiftstar paused a moment, trying to find the right words. "It's beginning to come to my attention Dashclaw that you might be falling behind in your tunneling apprenticeship." He took another breath "I know this is something that's important to you, and I wanted to speak to you personally to fully understand." "I'm sure we will." Harewhisker nodded with another look around highstones. "I mean, its not much different from when I saw it last and there's still old moss in the old dens we can use. I'd say we were fortunate to have this place to escape too. There's even prey in the back caverns." "I swear I'm doing my best, Swiftstar." Dashclaw flattened his ears, not really liking the sound of this conversation. "I may have gotten confused today, but that won't happen again." |

Goldheart gave a small smile "Thanks, you led it straight towards me though, so good job." The tom quickly buried the hare, before heading towards the tall grass as she suggested. "If we could find one or two more rabbits that would feed so many cats!" he mewed, the anger of fighting with his siblings wearing away.
Wolfstep flicked his tail "I'm okay. I haven't checked in with all my siblings, but my father and mother came back." he mewed, unaware of his sister's death in the tunnels. "Swiftstar looked like he got hurt though." he mewed, a little worried for his father.

Frostpetal nodded. "We are...it seems so strange to be back" she sighed. "I'm glad I'm not a medicine cat, this place only holds bad memories. I can't imagine trying to commune with StarClan here after all this sorrow."
Swiftstar nodded, keeping his voice calm. "I'm not saying you aren't trying Dashclaw, but I need to look at the interests of the clan. Right now the clan needs every one doing their duty to the best of their ability."

"So, is there anyone in the clan that you like? You're a strong and reliable warrior. Anyone catch your eye?" |

Goldheart turned to the she-cat in bewilderment stopping in his tracks. "What?" he asked, "No I don't think so. I've never really thought about it." he admitted. "I've always just worried about Fireblaze and my mother and being a good warrior."

"I've always just worried about Fireblaze and my mother and being a good warrior." Patchriver seemed disheartened by the tom's reply but gave her best fake smile either way. "I don't fully understand the worry for a parent or sibling sadly. I was an only kit and my parents both died shortly after I became an apprentice. It's a good motive to have though, to do things for your family." She seemed to turn sullen now and strayed away from the subject. Stupid! Or course he doesn't like you... who would? She sped up and reached the tall grass, immediately crouching down and focusing on hunting instead of the tom behind her. |

Goldheart stared after her in confusion but followed nonetheless. He would never understand she-cats. The tom quickly padded after her into the tall grass, shivering as the blades tickled his sides. "I think I can scent some mice nearby." he mewed hopefully.

Birchstep nodded his head. “That’s good. Luckily we didn’t loose too many cats. I fear Shadowclan got the worst of it since it started there.

Patchriver stayed silent, her tail tip twitching as she turned toward the scents that Goldheart had found. She moved toward them steadily before spotting the mouse and stopping, readying herself as she bunched the muscles in her hindquarters. What she didn't notice (because her mind was distracted) was that the mouse was messing with a tendril from a thorn bush and as she pounced it was too late to stop her and she hit it straight on, killing the mouse but also ending up with several thorns embedded into her paw pad. "OW!" She yowled out the word quickly as she sat back and pulled up her paw to look at it.

Wolfstep frowned, nodding in agreement "They smelled so much like smoke and their fur was singed when they busted into camp. They definitely got the worst of it." He stopped scenting the air. "It's getting clearer this way, I feel like I can finally breath again."
Goldheart's fur bristled at the she cat's cry of pain. He rushed to her side, looking over her for any injuries "What's wrong? "

Patchriver licked her paw softly before hiding it from the tom's sight with a small smile. "Just landed on my paw wrong is all. Here, I caught a mouse. You catch something else too and then we'll head back to the others." No one needs to worry about some measly thorns while the clan is trying to get over this fire.

Goldheart frowned, trying to catch a glance of any possible injuries. "Come on let me see it. We can't have you out here walking around if your paws all swollen. Don't make me drag you back to Eclipsesky."

Harewhisker nodded in quiet agreement. "I don't know how Berrywatcher and Eclipsesky did it. " "And I'm trying to do that, Swiftstar." Dashclaw nodded slowly. "It's just taking longer than I thought. I never realized how vastly different tunneling was compared to moor-running." |

Pigeonsong frowned it nodded her head though she didn’t move quickly. Her eyes held a sadness there but a new look of determination as well to help her clan mates. Sandfall trudged on, climbing the rocks back up to highstones with sure steps, his leg only hurting every few steps. He stopped dropping the moss gently when they reached the top. “I’m going to run this over to Sagefoot and her kits. Perhaps you should take some to Heathersky. She just kitted after all.” There was my last reply Jules ^.^ ) |

Pigeonsong nodded her head setting down the moss she held in her jaws. Flicking her was she let out a breath, “Sure,” she meowed looking towards the queen picking up a few bundles of moss walking towards Heathersky setting them down, “I hope you are doing alright. I brought some water for you,” she spoke.

Hazelear nodded. “I think we’ll always smell smoke.” She complained. “I’ve never seen a fire like that before.”

Heathersky looked up as the water was brought over. “Oh thanks.” She meows with a nod. “My throat is killing me from the smoke.”

Sandfall trotted over to his sister to give her the water soaked moss. “Pigeonsong and I got water for everyone.” He mewed rather proudly
Sagefoot purred lapping at the smoke before dipping her head to her brother. “Thank you. I didn’t realize how much I needed that.”
Sandfall distributes the rest of the moss before settling down, tired from going out.

Hazelear nodded. “I think we’ll always smell smoke.” She complained. “I’ve never seen a fire like that before.” Wolfstep tilted his head up to taste the air, “I hope we never see one like it again.” He murmured before flicking his tail at faint scent of a sparrow. “I think there’s a bird close by!” |

“You are welcome. I hope it helps,” Pigeonsong meowed nodding her head to the queen. Looking back towards Sandfall she flicked her tail. This was horrible and still new life found a way. Looking back towards Heathersky and her new kits. They were so tiny.

Goldheart frowned, trying to catch a glance of any possible injuries. "Come on let me see it. We can't have you out here walking around if your paws all swollen. Don't make me drag you back to Eclipsesky." "I said I'm fine Goldheart... I just landed on it wrong. Eclipsesky has enough to worry about as is and she doesn't need someone coming in complaining about a sore paw." The she-cat turned away from him and picked up the mouse. "Once your done hunting head back to camp, I'll take what we've already caught back first." With that she padded away, back toward where the rabbit had been buried and upon retrieving it, back to where the clan was settled. When she entered her pawsteps immediately took her over to the queens and she set the prey in front of them. "Here, you all need to eat." She then left just as quickly as she had came, trying her best not to limp as each step pushed the thorns further and further into her paws. She moved to Swiftstar and spoke quickly, "I'm heading out for a walk. If I find any more prey I'll bring it back." Then she was gone. (Yeah... Patchriver doesn't like talking about her feelings sometimes and she hates feeling as though she may become a burden. Lol) |

Sandfall purred softly looking over at Heathersky and the kits.
Goldheart watched her go silently, his mind whirling with confusion for the mixed signals he was receiving. He grunted trying to clear his head before scenting the air again. He would bring more prey back by himself.

we can definitely do them! I just like to draw things out a little. Getting them together right away though I think gets kinda boring. Developing the relationship naturally adds so much more to it! )

Harewhisker nodded in quiet agreement. "I don't know how Berrywatcher and Eclipsesky did it. " "And I'm trying to do that, Swiftstar." Dashclaw nodded slowly. "It's just taking longer than I thought. I never realized how vastly different tunneling was compared to moor-running." Frostpetal nodded. "Me either...especially Eclipsesky. He started his training here. I wonder if the camp medicine cat's den is strange to him since he started here." Her eyes trailed over to where Silverspirit and Eclipsesky were talking. "Of course there were kits born here too.....I hope ours are born at home." Swiftstar nodded. "I know you're trying Dashclaw, but it seems you're falling behind. Even Silverpaw and Cobblepaw are further along than you and they have been training less time and are much much younger. I can't risk more cats getting hurt or killed in the tunnels because of your lack of experience." |
