"I'm not feeling worried. I trust that Hornetstrike's taught you everything." Slatesight teased. He remembered when Frostmoon was only a kit, though he didn't get too involved in her life.

Sootclaw padded up to the younger warriors, partly interrupting their conversation. "So are we going or not?" He flicked his tail in betrayal of his impatience. The faster they get out there, the sooner he could try to find traces of Cricketsun.

“Ah, right.” Frostmoon blinked at Sootclaw’s demand, before she shook her embarrassment away and padded to the front of the patrol. “Alright then. Let’s get going while there’s still daylight out.” She ushered, pushing through the camp entrance.

Sootclaw flicked his ear and followed after Frostmoon. These younger warriors and their constant chatting.

Suki looked between the members of the patrol, "Please let us visit your camp, we just want to see Feather and we will help you in any way that we can! I know I'm not much help when I'm expecting kits, but we have friends in the twolegplace. We never go hungry. I'm sure we could work something out." she pleaded, focusing on Silentflare.
Shadowblossom sighed, side-eying Silentflare.
~~~~~
Blizzardstorm sat outside the nursery, grooming Twilightkit as the little tom looked around the kit with wide eyes.
Tansykit wobbled around her father, carefully batting at a fallen leaf.

~Ivykit / Close to the Thunderpath / Open~ Stumbling through the forest past the charred remains of underbrush, Ivykit entered into another clearing before another small coughing fit hit her. She had been wandering in small stints for a few days now, and the smell of other cats had begun to permeate through the stench of smoke and ash.
"H-hello?..." she scratchily called out for the umpteenth time today, hoping to run into any cat at this point. Perhaps the scent was just her imagination. She was getting terribly hungry and she felt like her paws were going to fall off from how far she'd walked.
Maybe she'd just take a nap against this stump for a while. She could continue her trek when she woke up again. |

Maybe she'd just take a nap against this stump for a while. She could continue her trek when she woke up again. "I'm telling you, Thrushwing." Vixenrose purred. "Flamestrike tells me all the time that he's beaten your title for "Best Father", though I told him that you would hold onto that title as long as you could." She conversed, leading a patrol through the territory. Hunting had been decent, but even then it wasn't as much as she liked. She looked back at her patrol. "Do you guys have any new scents? I bet we can catch a squirrel or two if we're creative!" |

Thrushwing chuckled lightheartedly. "Oh, Flamestrike is a brilliant father! I've seen it with my own eyes. I'm sure he's doing much better than I." He paused to scan the territory, lips parting for any scents. "Well, we could always try over by Owl Tree. After the fire, the owl's surely flown away by now."

Nettlepatch held in a chuckle at Vixenrose's statement, hoping Thrushwing wouldn't take it poorly. "I smell a vague scent of squirrel but I'm afraid it smells like it went over the border." he grumbled.

"Ah, well." Vixenrose sighed softly. "I guess that's one less for us. Rats." She cursed gently, before she nodded at Thrushwing's suggestion. "Owl Tree sounds like a great idea. What do you think, Nettle-..." She trailed off as a new scent hit her nose, and she whipped her head around sharply as she swore she heard a voice.
"Hey...do you both smell that?" She mewed.

Thrushwing paused at Vixenrose's question. He lifted his head and parted his jaws, but he didn't catch anything different. "Smell what, Vixenrose?"

Nettlepatch narrowed his eyes as he tried to pick out a strange scent. He hummed curiously as he picked up something that reminded him of the nursery, a milk scent? "Is that.. a kit?"

"That is a kit!" Vixenrose's voice grew with both worry and surprise as she finally recognized why the scent was so familiar. A surge of instinct had her on her paws quickly, rushing after the scent. "Come on! They might be in danger!" She cried out, praying to Starclan that the kit was unharmed.

Nettlepatch was hot on Vixenrose's heels, his sharp eyes scanning the undergrowth for any signs of the kit, was there only one? Or was there a whole litter hidden around here?

Ivykit leaned her weight against her chosen log with a dull "thump". By the stars she was tired. Perhaps a bit of sleep would be the best thing for her right now. However, just as she began to close her eyes, her ears perked up. Voices... Other cats?! Shoving herself back to her feet with almost too much force she attempted to yowl out once again.
"H-hello!? Is.. is someone out here!?"
Oh goodness, she shouldn't have shouted that hard. Her chest still hurt from breathing in smoke. Giving a small cough she took a few tentative steps into the open area of this clearing.
Was someone coming to find her? Was it mama?

Pushing through the undergrowth, she stumbled out onto the bare patch of territory that hadn’t yet recovered from the fire. There was still scorched trees, the land too rugged to regrow as quickly. There, near one of the trees, was a kit. Vixenrose stopped, glancing back at Thrushwing and Nettlepatch, before she looked back at the kit with round eyes. “Oh, you poor thing…are you lost, little one?” She asked, not wanting to spook the kit. |

The kit stumbled back a couple steps as the strange new cats entered the clearing, eyes wide and fur fluffing up ever so slightly. However, as she spoke Ivykit lowered her protective stance and glanced at the new faces in confusion.
"There... there was a fire. A-and mama and the rest ran, a-and I r-ran the wrong way and..." tears of exhaustion welled up in her eyes before she quickly blinked them away. "Have... have you seen them?"
She didn't know if she wanted to know the answer, but if these strange cats knew where her mama was or at least where a safe place to sleep was she'd happily take it.

That fire was so big, it must have been very frightening for you.” She glanced at Thrushwing and Nettlepatch. “Do you suppose we have time to try and look for any signs of the mother?” She looked at the kit once more. “What does your mother look like? Don’t worry, we won’t hurt you.” |

Heaving in a shaky breath, Ivykit sat back onto her haunches with a "thwump". These cats were nice. They were going to look for mama and they weren't scary one bit, so she could probably trust them.
"It was the scariest thing I-I've ever seen... Mama kinda looks like me," she mewed softly, quickly swiping her paw across her face to get some of the ash and soot off. "Do... do you know a good place to sleep?"
A scratchy yawn that turned into a cough broke past her muzzle, prompting Ivykit to lower her head and stare at her paws awkwardly.

Nettlepatch, lowered himself down to the kit’s level. “We are warriors of Thunderclan little one. Have you ever heard of the clans before? Did your mother tell you about them perhaps?” He mewed gently, his soft voice quite a contrast to the Tom’s large well-muscled body.

Frostmoon hesitated as she slipped back into Thunderclan territory, bitterly thinking of how much less they had now. She waited for her clanmates to retreat after her, shame at the loss burning in her pelt and making her eyes trail harshly to the ground. Her claws tore at the dirt beneath her, and she ignored the fresh sting of her wounds. After a failure like that, she deserved it. She opened her jaws, wanting to apologize, say anything that could express her guilt. Nothing came out though, and she choked back her words, breathing in to try and look as composed as she could.
She was going to have to explain to Ghostscreech and Lightningstar that they had lost Sunningrocks.

Ghostscreech lifted his head at the scent of fresh blood and stood up quickly, hurrying over to the camp entrance. Finding Frostmoon, he stepped closer, “Are you alright? What happened?” He asked, searching the warriors for injuries, hoping nothing serious had happened to them. Eclipsepaw’s face wasn’t looking so good, seeing the apprentice limp into camp behind the others.

Frostmoon tried to look at the deputy, though her eyes remained pointed on the ground as she took in a thick breath.
“Riverclan remarked Sunningrocks. They just walked in and took our territory…We tried to fight them off, but they outnumbered us, and we…” She cut off, before she shook her head, voice thick with shame.
“I was impulsive and reckless and led the patrol to failure. It was my fault, and the patrol fought as hard as they could under my call.”
Peachdapple stepped out of her den the moment she scented blood, her eyes wide as she took in the wounds on the patrol. Starclan, they didn’t have many herbs left, but she knew she and Aspenfall would have to make do.

Ghostscreech blinked in shock, “RiverClan will pay for this later, but for now, is everyone alright?” He asked, looking all the warriors and apprentice over, “Get to Peachdapple and Aspenfall.” He ordered, then turned to Frostmoon, his eyes softening as he looked at her, “Frostmoon, go get checked out and then come to Lightningstar’s den. I want a full report, okay?” He added.
Eclipsepaw limped away and sat down near the apprentices den, licking her paw furiously to try to clear the blood away from her left eye. The apprentice was throughly embarrassed by the defeat, she couldn’t bear to think what Lightningstar would think of that fiasco.

Slatesight hurried in behind the others. He didn't have any injuries, but he knew Eclipsepaw and the others would need to get checked out. He nodded to Peachdapple and Aspenfall. They would be able to help without him. Maybe I should look for herbs after the report...
Nighteye looked concerned over what had happened, glad that his brother wasn't hurt.
Aspenfall stood to gather the herbs the two medicine cats had left. He frowned as he realized that they may not be able to handle significant injuries, if there were any.

Did your mother tell you about them perhaps?” He mewed gently, his soft voice quite a contrast to the Tom’s large well-muscled body. Ivykit's eyes went wide. These were the clan-cats? The feral, ruthless warriors that her mother had spoken of in stories?! Merely giving a slow nod in confirmation to the new cat's question, she glanced over them quickly. "Thunderclan" was a cool name. Maybe these big cats could help her. They seemed a lot nicer than in Mama's stories of battles and territory, but they definitely lived up to her physical descriptions of muscled warriors ready for anything. |

"There are no major wounds beyond the scratches on Eclipsepaw's face, and Sootclaw received some strong blows...but nothing fatal. I...I don't want to be treated until the rest of the patrol is first." She swallowed, turning away sharply. She couldn't bear to hear Ghostscreech's disappointment. "I...can give the report to Lightningstar now, if you prefer." "Eclipsepaw!" Dawnpaw gasped as he saw his clanmate. Scarletpaw padded up to her quickly, growling out. "Who did this to you? Was it really Riverclan?!" |
