Darktail glanced at the nursery, still looking a bit nervous "Do you want to go see them now? I mean if you think we wouldn't be disturbing them? What do you think they'd want to do?" he asked, flicking his tail back and forth rather quickly, "What games do they like? Do you know?" (Darktail: heart racing: how does one play with a kit) “They’re your niece and nephew. I’m sure they’d be happy to see you.” Midnightstream giggled before she flicked her tail thoughtfully. “Most kits like playing mossball, right? Maybe we could try that.” She offered. |

Autumnpaw - Nursery - With Dawnpaw (Moonblazer)
She gave a small sound, having grown a bit sad upon bringing up her family. "Thanks Dawnpaw. You know, I sometimes wonder how different I would have been if my mother had lived. How my personality and everything would have varied compared to now. If she had lived then would my father still be alive as well? When I'm alone, which is almost all the time since I don't really have any friends, I always end up thinking about things like that." She shook out her fur and stood up straight, flicking a piece of moss off of her ear as she did. "Sorry about that. I ramble sometimes." “Well hey.” Dawnpaw turned to look at Autumnpaw with a friendly purr. “I’m your friend now, so no need to worry about not having any, yeah? I bet your mother would be as proud of you as mine is of us! No need to worry about the apologies either. Sometimes we gotta let it all out, yeah?” He offered, moving to approach and sweep some moss off Autumnpaw’s flank with his tail. |

Autumnpaw - Nursery - With Dawnpaw (Moonblazer)
She gave him a small smile, jumping slightly when he came up and moved his tail over her flank, not having expected the touch and not use to being really close with others. "Thank you. It's nice to know that I have at least one friend here. I sometimes get the feeling that I don't really belong in the clan." Looking around the den she counted how many nests they had made. "Seems we finished making all of them. Let's get rid of this old moss." |

Darktail nodded quickly, "Mossball right!" he sighed, grumbling under his breath "How could I have forgotten about mossball..." The tom took a few steps closer to the nursery, turning to make sure that Midnightstream was following, he wasn't sure he would feel comfortable doing this without her. A flash of fear grated through him again as images of a screaming young she-cat flashed through his mind, a call from a familiar voice ringing out, "BLOSSOMPAW!" Darktail stopped in his tracks, that voice in the memory sounded a lot like his mother.

I miss him alot sometimes, but...I know that I belong here. Maybe one day you’ll feel that too!” Dawnpaw exclaimed, optimistic and relaxed. He turned to look at the old moss and snickered. “Look at all that. Well, let’s see how much moss we can fit under our chins.” |

Midnightstream nearly bumped into the older Warrior, stumbling a bit on her paws as she looked at him with confusion. Did he hear something? She tilted her head, mewing out. “Darktail? Hello? Thunderclan to Darktail! You in there?” |

Darktail's eyes looked far away for a moment before they focused back on Midnighstream, he looked like he had just seen a ghost. "I um... sorry Midnighstream. I just saw I don't know what to call it, a vision? A memory? I'm not sure." His fur was rising as he thought more and more about what he saw, he had been the one standing over the screaming she-cat, his claws on her neck. What had he done?

Midnightstream hummed with concern. "Maybe you should speak to Lightningstar or Peachdapple about these weird visions. I'm serious, you may have some sort of ability or gift that Starclan's given you!" She suddenly seemed entranced, her eyes wide with wonder and worry. "What if you can see the past, or future? Or far away? Is that even possible?" She whispered, eyes darting around in case anyone was listening in. |

Darktail flicked his ears, looking down at his paws. The same paws that had been covered in blood a few moments ago. "I think it's the past... I'm pretty sure I heard my mother's voice. I really should talk to Peachdapple shouldn't I." He murmured. Shaking his head, he looked back up at her, "I'm sorry, we were going to go see the kits and I ruined it."

"No no. Don't worry. This is more intriguing than anything I've ever seen. I'm pretty much fully invested at this point." Midnightstream assured, giving the tom a caring look. "Here. For now, let's go visit those kits. If you have another weird vision, then we can go speak to Lightningstar, or Peachdapple, or even Aspenfall, if that's more comfortable for you. I'll be right here too, I promise." She flicked her tail.

(Ayoo. We can do some Autumn and Jay if you want! Everyone’s open :3 ) Autumnfall sighed as she finally managed to finish grooming the dust out of her pelt. She’d only been able to bring back a starling from her hunt. What an embarrassing effort. She scowled as she sat down in the corner of camp. Frostmoon was speaking with her father, a gently stern look and a warming pelt coming from her as soon as her father grinned toothily, knowingly. “You’ve been spending an awful lot of time with our deputy! I knew you were your mother’s daughter, but I didn’t know you truly did shoot for the top like that! Oh, I remember it like yesterday when you were just a little kit asking me for badger rides. Now you’re mooning after Gho-“ His muzzle was slapped by the young Warrior’s tail, her voice in a rare whine as she pleaded. “Father please! Not so loud!” |

Jaytalon glanced over at Autumnfall, seeing the scowl on her face, “What’s with the sour look? That’s not an expression I normally see on your face.” He commented, sitting down beside her.
Ghostscreech pushed out of the warriors den, having cleaned his pelt in his nest. He glanced around the camp quickly to see if the patrols he had set up earlier had gone out and gave nod, moving towards the apprentice den. He hoped Swallowpaw was up already, Ghostscreech hadn’t had much time to take her out training lately and felt bad that he was slacking in his mentor duties.

Lightninstar walked in silence for a few moments before answering his friends question. "I'm not getting any younger." He spoke. "At this point the cat I choose for deputy will most likely become leader." He looked over at him. "So I was curious your opinion as I value it." Sunthroat was quiet for a moment, thinking over Lightningstar’s words. He sighed and the former deputy shook his head, “Now you’re making me feel old.” He chuckled. Sunthroat paused and looked at Lightningstar, “Ghostscreech cares for his clan, and he will do what it takes to protect ThunderClan, I can see that much. He won’t be perfect, and he will make mistakes along the way. But then again, not all leaders are perfect at the start.” He said, sitting down and wrapping his tail over his paws. |

Autumnfall’s face brightened ever so slightly as Jaytalon sat beside her. She had begun to feel more secure now that their friendship was restored, but even more so, she missed his teasing. “Yeah yeah. I don’t pout often. I just had a really bad hunt earlier. The apprentices could have shown me up!” She explained. |

Jaytalon flicked his tail at her gently, “Your skills are getting rusty. Don’t tell me you’ve been slacking off.” He teased lightly, showing a bit of his old laidback ways.

That’s like asking if hedgehogs fly. Of course not! The prey was just...really jumpy, that’s all.” Autumnfall scoffed, though she felt warmth beneath her pelt as she recognized his tone. She had missed it so much. Shuffling her paws lightly, she offered. “You know, there’s an empty spot on the border patrol I’m leading later. Think you’d like to fill it in?” |

"At this point the cat I choose for deputy will most likely become leader." He looked over at him. "So I was curious your opinion as I value it." Tigerpaw forgot his worries for a few moments as he listened to Featherfoot. "Can you tell me more about the twoleg place?" He asked his mentor. "It sounds like a really weird place." “Hm? You want to know more?” Featherfoot perked at the question. The trek to the training hollow would take some time, so he knew that talking about such things would be a good way to pass the time. “What could I possibly fit into so little time? Well, for starters, the cats there are all so incredibly different. Cats you would never even think were real! Some had markings that made them special to twolegs. All of them were very spoiled kittypets.” He chuckled. “Though, most are loners that wander the place. I was actually rescued by a she-cat with a funny voice. Fiona. That was her name. She and all her many, many kits. They brought me to Suki and Indigo, who raised me for many moons. Sadly, there was no trained Medicine cat. That’s why the scars on my back are so big. It took a long time to heal.” He explained, before blinking softly. “But there are frightening, mysterious cats there too. They called them Shadow Cats. Not like Shadowclan cats. These cats were more dangerous, more hostile than even Shadowclan. They’d travel in stealthy groups. None of the cats I was with ever really dared to cross into the territory where twolegnests grew bigger and bigger and bigger. They hunted there.” He sighed softly. “I think about Bloompelt and Cricketsun alot. They must surely be there together...and if the scents were any indication, then your brother is probably with them. At least we can assume that they’re safe, I hope.” (For Fox!) |

Us, and...well, just, us being us I guess. I really am sorry, that I let Shadeclaw ruin that...” She murmured. |

“I missed it too. And I know you’re sorry about everything, but I’m sorry I let it get between our friendship.” Jaytalon mewed, looking away. “Not your fault. I was a real foxheart for a while there. I guess...I was so used to protecting my family that I mistook selfishness for strength. And it meant that your kin were put in danger instead. It won’t happen again. I won’t let you down again.” Autumnfall promised, giving Jaytalon a serious look, before she grinned again. “Does this mean we can move our nests back near eachother? I miss having someone to chatter with at night.” |

Their fun rivalry had soured during Shadeclaw’s leadership as well. Losing Jaytalon those moons had been hard enough, but not being able to tease around with Wolfshadow too was even harder. She never could tell if he had forgiven her though. “I couldn’t tell. Surely he’s still mad with me...” |

Thanks Midnightstream." he mewed, voice soft and genuine. "I really appreciate you being so calm and collected about this. It's pretty scary to be honest." |

After everything that happened recently, I think I’ve grown used to being shocked.” Midnightstream admitted. “That, and I know you wouldn’t lie to me. You’re far too trustworthy for me to not take your fears seriously.” She gave him a small smile before she eyed the nursery. A purr escaped her throat as she saw Drizzlekit and Flurrykit sitting near the entrance. |

Darktail followed closely behind Midnighstream as she approached the two kits, "Hello Drizzlekit, Flurrykit. What have you been up to today?" he asked, trying to make his voice stop shaking with nerves. “Oh! Hello, Darktail!” Flurrykit looked up from his talk with his sister, giving his uncle a bright look. “You came to visit us, right? Father’s out with Tigerpaw right now, so Drizzlekit and I decided to guard the nursery.” He puffed his chest proudly, taking his self-proclaimed job very seriously. |

Darktail rumbled out a low purr, "Guarding the nursery?" he crouched so he was face to face with the kits, inching closer to them. "Do you think there's going to be an attack on the camp?" he whispered playfully. The tom's shoulders were still tense as he talked to the kits, but warmth filled him as he looked as his kin.

"One can never be too cautious!" Flurrykit looked bravely at his uncle, squaring his shoulders and puffing out his pelt in a warning, albeit a playful one. "Drizzlekit and I are going to be apprentices soon. We have to be ready to protect the clan! You don't scare me one bit!" He grinned, proud yet courageous as could be.
