Hollowpaw looked down, pondering for a moment. "I trust her..." her voice was quiet, "but I'm not so sure she trusts me..." she said, remembering the last few times she got in trouble.

"Do what you can," Foxface said. "Please, bring Aurorastar here. I'll be waiting," he told her.

Hollowpaw's expression quickly changed from sadness to determination. Her fellow clanmate was counting on her. She stood, fluffing her fur up a little, making the scene seem almost comedic because she was so small. "I'll do my best."

In the middle camp, Zinniapetal was just awakening, sitting around the prey pile, waiting for warriors to arrive with food. She was feeling nervous, and pains were in her stomach due to the combination of nerves and hunger. Jadepaw was gone, a cat who had just recently died and been revived. Along with Jadepaw missing, her apprentice Hollowpaw was gone as well. Had Hollowpaw taken Jadepaw out of camp? She felt that the two being gone had to be connected, but she couldn't be sure.

Hollowpaw made her way back to the middle camp as quickly as her sight allowed her to without tripping over everything. She burst through the entrance, scanning the clearing as she made her way to the medicine cat tunnel, but spotted Zinniapetal by the prey pile and trotted over to her mentor.

"There you are!" Zinniapetal gasped, then sighed. "I was worried. Have you seen Jadepaw? I figured she probably went out to hunt, since we're waiting for prey, but I didn't allow her to! Did you talk to her?" she asked her apprentice.

Hollowpaw paused for a moment, looking away as she tried to come up with something to say. "N-no. I haven't seen her. She was in her nest when I checked on her in the morning." She looked up at her mentor, quickly changing the subject. "Hey Zinniapetal, I was wondering if maybe we could go to the upper camp. I haven't seen very much of the territory and I wanted to see why my mother loves the upper camp so much."

Zinniapetal smiled. "No, not today. There's a lot to do, and we have empty bellies. We need to tend to Jadepaw as soon as she comes back. We'll go another day, though."

Hollowpaw laid her ears back. "Aw. Pleeeaaase? There are other medicine cats, and if Jadepaw was able to sneak off, she must be feeling better."

Zinniapetal frowned at her apprentice. "No, Hollowpaw. Now go check the elders for ticks!" she replied, a bit frustrated. There was so much to do, how could her apprentice be thinking of frivolous things?

"Wait!" Hollowpaw put her head down. "The truth is... I need to speak to Aurorastar about something /really/ important and I can't get there on my own."

Zinniapetal blinked, surprised. "What? Why do you need to speak with her?" she questioned.

"I would tell you... but I'm not sure what your position would be on it, so I can't now, but I can afterward." Hollowpaw looked down, afraid she would be reprimanded for withholding information.

Zinniapetal was frozen, but let out a small, slight nod. "Okay. I trust you that this is important. Let's go." Her curiousity was great, but more than anything she did trust Hollowpaw. She was a great apprentice, was strong with her powers, and Zinniapetal knew she would make an absolute great medicine-cat.

Hollowpaw looked up at her mentor, surprised, but relieved. She breathed out a quiet "thank you," before standing, ready to follow her mentor.
(Sorry im so poofy today. Kind of a busy day.)

"Okay!" Airkit squeaked, but then looked around, realizing that someone was missing. "Where's Emberkit?" She asked. She was aware that usually he didn't eat with them, but that day, the she-kit wanted to know what it would be like for all of them to happily eat together. Delphapool continued running, glancing back occasionally at Oaktree to see if he was following. "Faster, slowpoke!" Hi! Sorry for being not online! Also, don't know if you saw this, so I'll repost it😃))

Falconfeather sat quietly, occasionally patting down a few messy spots on his fur, then getting very annoyed that it wasn't going down, so he'd give himself a full wash as he silently listened to Twilightstream and Ravenfall's little chat.

Zinniapetal led the way towards the upper camp, though she had little strength. As the woods transitioned into the pine forest, they grew near to the edge of the middle camp's typical territory. She had only brought her young apprentice this far twice, to gather herbs.

As they grew closer to the mountain, the pine forest l became filler with boulders and rocky patches. Zinniapetal stumbled, her stomach growling. "I sure wish this could have waited until after we got some food," she wailed.

(Hello)
Hollowpaw was following closely, at times pushing ahead of her mentor a few tail-lengths and then doubling back. She had little interest in the surroundings, fully focused on her mission. She trotted back to her mentor as she heard her wail. "I'm sorry I rushed you, but it's very important," Hollowpaw's ears were laid flat against her head in what looked like guilt.

(Sry for the poof had to drive my sister to her boyfriends) "Do you think," Foxface began, "You'd be able to get Zinniapetal to take you there?" he prompted. "Do you trust her?" he added.
Ravenfall chuckled lightly again. "I'm sure you do," she said of the water-type cat. "How's the apprentices doing at the lower camp?" she wondered. "Is they're ocean training going good?" she asked curiously.Hey.)
Twilightstream smiled brightly at Ravenfall's complement with a small glittery shimmer of violet catching in her deep blue eyes when the sun sent it's rays to fall gently over them. She flicked one of her white ears in thought as she seemed unsure. "It seems so. I get sort of busy at times so I'm not always around the apprentices." She waved her tail back and forth before turning her attention of the deep stream. "Falconfeather, I hope you don't fall in again." She teased playfully with a giggle.

(Hey guys. Sorry I haven't been on all week, work was crazy and I haven't been feeling well. I'm sorry though! I'll try to make sure such an extended absence doesn't happen.
You're fine, Kitt, I haven't been on either. Just check over the news to see what you've missed.)

(Morning!)
Zinniapetal and her apprentice reached the bottom of the mountain slope, which, while rocky, was still covered in pine trees. However, this being the first mountain they had to cross to reach the mountain that the upper camp residents called home, it was fairly small, at least in comparison with the rest of the mountains ahead. The medicine-cat looked up above them, to the looming mountains reaching into the sky. She smiled. "I have lived here most of my life. I was born here, and I've spent the last sun-spin here," she told her apprentice. "But, as you have said, there's no time for sightseeing. Let's hurry on."
Ravenfall smiled, recognizing the young warrior's teasing nature with the tom-cat. "I'll leave you both to it. I'll head downstream and catch any that try and escape," she told them, leaving the two cats alone. It would be good for Falconfeather to talk with a she-cat.

Hollowpaw looked up at the slope, it seeming enormous to her and almost unclimbable. She took a deep breath and started up it, moving quickly.
