After being moved Coldkit began to fluff the soft moss bedding, he curled up next to Tinyflower and began to sleep.
Bonefang looked at Tinyflower, "Thank you for taking them in, I know you'll be a good mother to them." he whispered, he pressed his nose against each of his kit's heads and turned around to leave.

Tinyflower ran her tongue across each of the newborns, wondering who on earth could have been the mother but happy to care for them. No matter how much she mourned for her own tiny kits, who had barely seen the light of day before being stolen from her, she would never be cruel enough to refuse a kitten a meal. She was already growing fond of the tiny kits. The lithe shecat looked up at the sound of the warrior's voice, and was on her paws before he was from the den. Carefully detaching herself from the mewling newborns and at his side she said quietly.
"I am so sorry to hear about Morningflight," she said honestly, looking back at the pile of newborns. "I can never replace their mother, but I will look after them to the best of my ability. They will know what a kind shecat their mother was." |

Bonefang froze, "No, they can never know who their real parents are. You tell them how wonderful there mother was, but they can never know her name." he sighed sadly.

Tinyflower's eyes widened at this, looking back at the tiny kittens behind her, already mewing in her absence to keep them warm. "Surely, Eaglestar wouldn't be so cruel. No kit deserves to never know their parents," she whispered. The anger apparent on her expression, surpising considering how small the older queen was and how kind and sweet she usually acted around others.

As the sun sank low into the sky , and the camp was bathed in darkness , Rosethorn crept from behind the Warrior's den , her mouth just barely closed . She was covered in mud from ears to tail tip , drenching her scent so she was untraceable . Within her jaws were the key to her moving up in the clan . Her heart pounded in her chest as she carefully without a sound approached the outside of Eaglestar's den . She parted her jaws , and out spilled a cluster of rose thorns she had plucked from the bushes the day before . In the center , a single rose petal was placed , and without a trace , she retreated into the woods to clean herself off in a puddle of water . Once she was finished , she retreated into the Warrior's den , her tail curling around her nose as she drifted into a peaceful sleep ...
Barkpelt raised his head , thinking he heard a stirring , but saw nothing ...
Starclan , you are about to meet your maker ...

"They will never know Morningflight is their birth mother, and they will never know me as their father. I cannot be apart of their life, it was part of the deal I made with Eaglestar in order to make sure they could stay here where it's safe." Bonefang explained, he looked at his kits and smiled. "Even though they won't know me much, I'll still be here to protect them."

Tinyflower's eyes narrowed notably, and she spoke with a quiet firmness. "I will love them enough for both of you, you have my word on this."

Bonefang smiled, "Thank you Tinyflower, that means a lot to me. I know they'll be safe here with you." he gave a small purr. He looked at his kits again, silently wishing them a good rest, before heading out of the nursery. He tried holding his head up high with whatever pride he could fine, he made his way into the warriors den and collapsed in his nest. Covering his face with his paws, "I'm sorry Mourningflight, I promised you we'd make it though together... I failed you, but I won't fail them! I swear on my own life that's I'll keep them safe!" he sobbed quietly in his mind.

Morningflight's voice was quiet, barely audible to any but the intended recipient of her words. "I love you, Bonefang. Always will, look after our little ones. They will need you." Her voice twinkled on the air, though the dead shecat wasn't visible.

Eaglestar was laying in his den, curled up nice and cozy. "Oh what a busy, busy day. But things worked out in the end, well maybe not for them but for me it did!" he laughed quietly to himself, he was down one deformed reject and had four more future warriors! He was sure some cats were displeased with him, but so what? He was leader, he had the nine lives, he could almost anything he wanted! A twisted chuckle echoed out from him.

Nightpaw eagerly settled down and began consuming her portion of the fresh-kill. When she was finished, she began cleaning herself to rid any residue of the meal before asking Cinderfrost, "Should we head out now?" (OH GOSH I MISSED A LOT.) Cinderfrost nodded quickly, having cleaned himself free of blood and fur, and picked himself up from the squirrel carcass. "Absolutely! We'll be off," he mewed, leaning down to pick up the remainders of the squirrel in his jaws and dispose of them. Looked behind him for his apprentice and quickly left the camp when he was sure she was following. He brushed passed Bonefang as they left the camp, he and Bramblestorm returning from what he assumed was a patrol. He thought he caught the scent of a fox and felt his heart skip a couple beats. Fox? Why? He shook it off quickly and bravely strode forward. "If they've returned safely with fox scent all over them, then we're fine. It'll be okay," he mumbled to himself. No one came in yowling from injuries; he felt reassured and walked out of camp on the path to the raging river. Nightpaw followed after Cinderfrost, eager to get going and hoping that most of the herbs they were looking for would still be around. As they passed Eaglestar and Bonefang, Nightpaw caught a faint whiff of fox from them, but they didn't seem to be in a panic, so she hoped everything was fine. She would have to be vigilant on the way to the Rapid. |

(Sure Dagegen  ) Russetpaw sat by her mentor, "Are we going to do anything today?" she asked. She was kind of excited to maybe get out and practice a bit. Her little tail stump wagged a bit in joy. Hailrush flicked her tail lightly and stood to her paws. "I'm not willing to waste such a wonderful afternoon," she meowed bluntly as swiveled her head to survey the sky. It was definitely later than she would have liked to begin training, but anything was better than sitting around camp all day. She looked down at the eager apprentice and smirked a little at her excitable nature. "I was thinking we could do some battle training today; we'll start with a run to stretch our muscles," she informed Russetpaw, "I'll be ready as soon as you are." The silver tabby dipped her head in farewell to Rainshadow, wishing him the best, and began to pad off glancing behind her to make sure Russetpaw was in tow. Rainshadow nodded his head in acknowledgement to Hailrush and Russetpaw, wishing them a successful training session. He noticed Nightpaw leaving the Camp with Cinderfrost as well, and with their passing the return of Eaglestar and Bonefang. |

"Yeah." For once, Bramblestorm actually agreed with the other tom. "Let's go." Bonefang smiled, finally getting his way and began hurrying back toward the river to get to camp. (Let's just skip back to when they get back to camp, since not much will happen from this point.) (Sure.) Bramblestorm padded into camp, looking around. |

(sure. I'm working on my forms btw don't panic XD)
Tinyflower detached herself from the now sleeping kits and ventured into the clearing, after a long night with very little sleep, the new mother was eager to fill her belly again. Picking out a small thrush, she found a place for herself to settle nearby. Away from the nursery and in the fresh air, she began to pick appart the prey in silence. Watching the clan around her wake up.
Singedthunder returned from a patrol, in his jaws was grasped an all too familiar golden body. He had believed the least he could do for the mourning Bonefang was to bring his mate home one final time. He could only hope the leader wouldn't be cruel enough to refuse her a burial.

Coldkit was sleeping soundly in the nest with his littermates, little pieces of the moss sticking to his black and white pelt.
Bonefang was sitting quietly by the fresh kill pile, staring down at a mouse unsure if he even felt like eating. He glanced up and happened to see Singedthunder carrying a body, his head perked up when he say the golden fur. He rushed over and looked at Mourningflight's dead body. "You found her?" He looked up at Singedthunder now, "T-thank you, but why?" he was speechless, he was happy to see her again. He would get to say goodbye one last time...

The young tom's eyes narrowed a shade, "No mother deserves to be eaten by foxes," he spoke firmly laying the skinny frame of the fallen shecat to the ground with absolute caution. "I don't care what she did in life." He spoke with an uncharacteristicly dark voice, as he looked down at the shecat. Little more than a scrap of bones and fur from everything she'd been through.

Bonefang crouched down next to her body, pressing his nose into her fur. "Thank you Singedthunder." he mewed quietly and closed his eyes to mourn her here at least for a moment.
Eaglestar was just waking up and took a step out of his den, something below him caught his eye and he looked down. He was some thorns and a rose by his den. "What the..." he looked around and saw no one really suspicious. He looked up at the morning sky wondering if this was some kind of sign.

(( I've got Barkpelt open ! ))
Rosethorn awoke the next morning , stretching her paws and exiting the Warrior's Den , a content smile on her face . Barkpelt emerged from beside her , yawning tiredly .
" I'm going to go check on those kits , " Rosethorn murmured , swishing her tail and tipping her chin up , " We're lucky they made it back alive , I'd hate to lose them now . "
" They sounds like they're doing well , but I might take your word for it better if you're to visit them , " He chuckles .
Rosethorn smirks as she confidently crosses the camp , only glancing briefly in Eaglestar's direction as she goes on her way .

Bonefang nodded, "Yes it is, and I'm sorry for snapping at you." he mewed feeling a little ashamed, he knew Singedthunder was only following the rules. He didn't mean for it to end so horribly, if anyone was to blame it was Eaglestar and his stupid clan laws! Anger pricked at Bonefang a little, but now that Morningflight was here he could give her a proper burial like she deserved.

Lowering himself to the ground, the young tom gave the passed queen a final lick across the back of the ears. A sign of respect the three legged cat hadn't received even in life, he straightened and looked at him firmly. "Ensure she gets the burial she deserves."

Eaglestar was still staring at the thorns and rose, he glanced up and saw Barkpelt and Rosethorn. "Rosethorn..." he wondered. He looked up at the sky again, "What are you trying to tell me, Starclan?" he though in confusion. Was she a danger or something special he needed to be paying attention too?
