Sootkit dropped the rabbit scrambling over to Leafkits side his eyes wide with panic at the sight of his brother squished beneath the bird. "W-what do we do?" the big tom kit squeaked helplessly the thought of pulling the bird off his brother not even crossing his mind. Shadowkit yelped in surprise as the quail fell on top of her brother. Shocked it took her a few moments to react, "Lift it off him!" she meowed to the stunned Sootkit. With barely contained fear of her own she grabbed the bird and helped drag it off Smokekit. "Smokekit are you okay?". Smokekit gasped as the pressure of the bird was lifted off him. Had it been any of the other kits it might not have been such a worry but Smokekit was simply too small. "I...I'm f-fine" he wheezed before launching into a coughing fit. With shaking legs he attempted to stand but failed and instead found himself in another coughing fit. Leafkit's tail flicked with impatience as Sootkit began to panick, having no idea what to do. She was a little surprised the bigger tom had not thought to simply help her pull the bird off of his brother. However, as Shadowkit took charge and helped her pull the bird off of Smokekit, Leafkit was, for once, glad for Smokekit's direct behaviour.
Eager to hear the small kit's reply to his sisters answer, Leafkit positioned herself near him, worried. As he wheezed, then launched into a coughing fit, Leafkit shrank back for a second, but moved closer as Smokekit failed to stand. "Oh no!" She mewed in distress. "He's not okay! Smokekit!" And now it was Leafkit's turn to be unsure what to do to help her den mate.
Always the one to be concerned for others, Leafkit watched in a kind of stunned silence, her mind racing, but coming up with no solution, the quickness of the situation giving her no time to prepare one. "Shadowkit! Help him!" She demanded, relying on the other kit to try and solve this issue.

(Oh that's a lot 😂 )
Daypaw curled up tightly in the apprentice den. The young cat was dreaming of hunting deep in the forest, or maybe jumping from tree to tree like the squirrels they hunt. Every now and then she would purr with excitement and her paws would flick like she was really out running the forest.

Clovertail rolled her eyes at his smile but felt the burning embarrassment resurfacing nonetheless. "Either one is fine," she mewed, sniffing the air absent-mindedly. "And if you knew anything about me, you'd know I'm always up for a challenge. The real question is, can you keep up?" With that, she bolted in the direction of the rock hollow. "Race you to the great tree!"

@wnterheart xD yup I have a lot of charries 😅 ]]
Shadowkit opened her mouth, closed it and opened it again. Sootkit was prone to bits of panic but Leafkit distress was something the she-kit wasn't quite prepared for. She couldn't even think of a simple solution to help her littermates as he continued to shake and cough. Her mind coming up blank she glanced around desperately and spotted Swallowtail nearby watching them. "Swallowtail!" Shadowkit wailed in distress "help! Smokekit's hurt!" She dared not call for Sweetmask whos punishment was for not keeping an eye on each other would hardly be fair.
Cloudrunner stared after Clovertail for a brief moment shocked at her sudden take off. "It won't be much of a race when you're eating dust" he called as he took off weaving through the dense territory. This was the easy bit though, racing to the the great tree meant jumping over the rocks that surrounded it. And that's when things would get interesting.
Littlepaw let out a snarl as Nightpaw prodded her awake, "what?" She hissed grumpilynstretching and accidentally kicking Sunpaw.
"We're going to be late for training" Nightpaw meowed anxiously shifting from paw to paw. He looked over at Sunpaw, "come on Sunpaw get up!"

Swallowtail narrowed his eyes in concern, stepping over to the kits and just noticing Smokekit's distress. "I'll get the medicine cat!" He sprinted over to the den.
Minkfang swiftly came over and taped Smokekit's back gently, hoping to help the kit regain its breath.

"Huh? I'm up?" Sunpaw's eyes fluttered open not noticing the kick from Littlepaw. She stumbled up to her paws and stretched out her back. " Where are we going?"

Smokekits breathing eased slightly as he calmed but he continued to shake, more from shock than anything.
Shadowkit and Sootkit hovered nervously by Minkfangs' side. Sootkit turned to Leafkit his eyes wide with distress, "Is he going to be okay?".
Nightpaw rolled his eyes, "Training- you know that thing us apprentices do to become warriors". Honestly sometimes he wondered if it weren't for him if any of the apprentices would get to training on time.
Littlepaw yawned, "Relax Nightpaw" she said getting to her paws, "It's not like our mentors are going to leave without us". She gave him a nudge as she made her way out of the apprentice den. Nightpaw was such a worry wart sometimes. She glanced around the camp searching for Lilywhisker, Featherleap, and Clovertail. She spotted Lilywhisker across camp but Featherleap and Clovertail weren't in sight. "Huh. Maybe they would leave without us" she shrugged and sat herself down.

Swallowtail entered the medicine den, looking for the medicine cat. "Larkfeather?"
Minkfang sighed in relief as Smokekit's rapid breathing slowed. "I think he's going to be ok. But let's get you checked by Larkfeather just for sure."
(I think his name is Larkfeather, I can't remember.)

"We train all the time though. I don't think it would hurt to skip every once in while?" Sunpaw yawned while following her denmates out into the camp. Her bright blue eyes pressed closed to avoid the blinding sunlight.

Larkfeather had been sorting herbs, taking the moment of relative quiet in his den to do the task. It was one he enjoyed, but never had enough time to do as well as he'd like. Even as this thought crossed the medicine cats mind, someone was calling out his name. With a soft sigh, the tom turned to see Swallotail entering the den. "Is everything alright, Swallowtail?" He asked calmly, not surprised that his favourite task had once again, been interrupted.

"Smokekit's having trouble breathing." Swallowtail said quickly, trying not to sound too panicked. "I think you should check him out."

Larkfeather's ears flicked in slight worry at the mention of the sickly kit, and the medicine cat stood quickly, nodding, noticing the slight panic in the other cats voice. Not bothering to ask if they knew what had happened, Larkfeather just made his way from his den, and spotting the injured kit near the fresh kill pile, along with the other kits from the nursery, he made his way over to them. "What happened?" he asked those surrounding Smokekit, looking to Shadowkit and Sootkit for answers.

"W-we were getting prey from the fresh kill pile a-and it fell on Smokekit" Shadowkit stammered ears flattening. She hugged close to Sootkit, this was one of those things that she couldn't help with. She hated not being able to help.
"I'm fine Larkfeather" Smokekit wheezed frustrated at all the attention, "honestly" he stood on shaking paws. He was only a moon away from becoming an apprentice- if he could get crushed by a piece of prey there was no way Snowstar would let him become a warrior!
Nightpaw snorted, "We train all the time because of Echoclan". He followed the two she-cats out of the den "Some of our warriors still get hurt- so the more we train the better we'll be" he pushed. Nightpaw looked at his two denmates unable to comprehend why they didn't have the same urgency as he did about the training, "Don't you two get how important it is?".

(Thanks for adding my new character ^^)
Swallowtail followed Larkfeather back to the kits, glad to see that Smokekit had improved. He padded over to Minkfang, sitting down next to her. "That was scary."
Minkfang shrugged. Smokekit recovered pretty quickly, so it didn't scare her too much.
Crowscar stepped out of the warrior's den, noticing quite a few members of the clan were up and about. "Anyone up for a border patrol?" He called across camp.

[[ No problem- sorry for any sudden disappearances stalling doing house work ]] Sweetmask had watched the drama with the kits from a distance and shook her head. The four were trouble enough but Smokekit was simply so sick the slightest thing seemed to set him over the edge. Undoubtedly if his mother were still alive she would go comfort him but- Sweetmask turned to Crowscar, "I'll come" she meowed turning from the kits.

Crowscar nodded to Sweetmask, looking around at the rest of camp. "Anyone else?" He called, wrapping his tail around his paws. He then turned back to Sweetmask, sighing. "Do you think we'll run into EchoClan?"

[[ Just wanted to check- Is Minkfang a warrior or queen? ]]
Sweetmask shrugged in some ways she hoped they did encounter a patrol. Nothing could ever pay back what Echoclan had taken from her and her clan mates. "I hope so" Sweetmask meowed her claws sliding out at the thought. Having spent most of the last three moons in the nursery looking after her deceased mentors kits there was a lot of pay she was due for. "I could do with giving an Echoclan foxheart a shredding right now"

(She's a warrior)
Crowscar curled his lip. "Yeah, I hope so too. Even if better if one is alone. That would teach em." He imagined himself sinking his claws into an EchoClan cat.

Jaysong got to his paws from where he sat with Snowstar, "I might as well come too" he meowed to the two waiting warriors. He made his way over to the apprentice den to check if Echopaw was inside.
Sweetmask let out a hiss of agreement. Of all the cats in the clan only she and Crowscar bore the most serious marks from Echoclan battles. "I'm waiting for the day Snowstar gets sick of all this. When will she finally see that the only way to win this is to take the fight to them" Her claws kneaded the ground partially in frustration. Whisperclan had been limited to border skirmishes for the past few seasons. It seemed to her that they were in a stalemate and Snowstar was slowly giving up.

Crowscar nodded to Jaysong, then turned back to Sweetmask. "I also think it's the only way. As long as they keep teaching their kits to destroy us, each generation is going to be a danger to our lives." He growled. "It's for the good of our kit's as well as there's. No more of their kits will be fed terrible lies, and they can finally grow up learning the truth."

Sweetmask found her one good eye trained on the kits, Larkfeather having now arrived to take care of Smokekit. For a moment a pulse of what felt like failure went through her at the sight of the injured little tom. She had tried to look after Rippletail's kits as best should could- but she was no mother. She was a warrior and fighting Echoclan that was the only way she could truly help these kits. And it seemed Crowscar was one of the few who understood. "Maybe its time we started to do something" she mused softly aware she was treading on dangerous ground.

Crowscar stood up, tapping Sweetmask on the shoulder with his tail. "Definitely." He felt a strong sympathy for the she-cat. To be thrust from warrior life into the life of a mother must have been stressful.

Sweetmask shook off his touch and looked over Jaysong, "If you don't hurry up it'll be sunset by the time we reach the border" she called tartly. "I'll see you outside camp" she meowed and turned stalking through the camp entrance without a look back.
Jaysong rolled his eyes at his younger clan mates comment, "Nightpaw if you see Echopaw let him know he missed border patrol and I expect him at the rocky hallow by sundown". The warrior turned back to Crowscar, "alright lets go".

Crowscar nodded and followed Sweetmask out of camp, signaling to her that she could lead the way. His senses heightened and his heart pounding, he prepared himself for whoever they might encounter out there.

I understand this whole warrior thing. It's just seems like a complete waste of time when there is other fun things to do." Daypaw mewed her point every so often rolling her light blue eyes. Just then a devious thought crept into the young she cats mind. Without warning she launched on Nightpaw, claws sheathed. "Like playing!!" She giggles exciting as she laid on her denmate's back.
