Nova was in the middle of stalking a mouse when she heard rustling behind her. With the mouse now in the safety of it's hole she she turned around frustrated only to end up laughing by seeing Snowys white fur through the undergrowth. "How in the world do hide when there is no snow?!", She meowed with laughter at the white tom loud enough for him to hear.
~~~~~~~~
Jagg clenched his jaws together as he hit the ground with a thud. Scrambling to his paws he looked to his rescuer and he limped as fast as he could away from the wolf. Once at his rescuers side the tom stood firmly on three legs ready to fight if need be. The tom who saved him from the wolf look strong and sturdy but even if the two of them were fit they were no match for the wolf. "Do you know of a safe place close by? I do not think I can climb a tree", he meowed quickly while the wolf was still squirming in pain from it's face wound.
~~~~~~~~
Lilly went up to Drake and touched his shoulder with her nose to calm him down. "She is a friend. They are new to the forest and have claimed a territory next to us. When I came looking for you to take shelter from the storm I ran into her and she offered to help find you", the golden brindle shecat meowed explaining what happened and who Igloo was.

((Embers and Blaze can run into Falcon and Smokes patrol if you want))
Falcon led the way deeper into the forest making sure not to stray to far from the hollow. Sniffing the humid air the long-haired tabby tom was able to pick out the scent of a squirrel. Quickly stalking away from Smoke it didn't take him long to pinpoint where the furry creature was at. Carefully he placed each paw in front of the other inching closer and closer to the squirrel. Once he was close enough the tom dashed out of his hiding spot and pounced on the creature and quickly dispatched it. Picking it up the tom started to head back to Smoke.

Drake scoffed before relaxing his fur as Lily came over to him. "I would've found shelter, you should've stayed back at the dens." He meowed not liking the idea of more new cats in the area but made he could gain something from them also. He bushed his tail against Lily. "But thanks for worrying about me."
Smoke padded under the undergrowth tasting for any prey and looking for any sign of actively. Prey would scatter quicker into their dens because of the storm, she paused spotting a mouse nibbling on a seed in some brittle grass stems, inching closer she waited for the right moment to pounce. Seeing her chance Smoke leapt foward landing on the mouse before it noticed and quickly killed it, satisfied with her catch she padded back to meet with Falcon.

Igloo shuffled her paws before stepping forward. "Hello there. I take it you're Drake. I'm Igloo and I have a brother named Blizzard. We live in a sheltered den so if you would like you can bed down with us till the storm passes." She flicked her tail tip.

Blizzard lashed out again and got the wolf across the ear this time before replying to the other cat. "Yeah. My sister and me have a den this way." As he spoke he started to pad backwards in the direction of the den, all the while keeping his eye on the wolf.

Lilly stood by Drake's side at waited for him to decide. "It's up to you whether we join them or not. I'm okay with either way", the golden brindle and cream shecat meowed. And just as she finished speaking the shecat flinched feeling a cold raindrop on the top of her nose. The rain had started to fall, and if Drake wished to stay in their own dens then they would have to leave now to reach it before the rough of the storm hit. Jagg nodded and let the stranger lead. The sandy tom was bleeding and he winced at every step he took. They left the wolf behind them and continued quickly into the forest. Not too long into the forest Jagg could feel the rain coming down lightly through the trees. "How much further", the tom asked as he clenched his teeth in pain. (( IceOwO are you gonna have Ember and Blaze run into Falcon and Smoke ))

Blizzard brushed aside tree branches and such as he walked, searching for herbs and cobwebs as to treat the tom's wounds. He perked his ears at the question and looked up before noticing he was in front of the den. "That's the den. I'll go get some moss for to bed down in. I'll look for herbs for your wound while I'm at it too."

Jagg nodded and settled down in the den in a bare spot out of the rain. "Thank you", he called out just as the other tom left to go look for some herbs for him. The sandy tom finally took a moment to look at his wounded hind leg. There was two big gaping puncture wound on the outside of his leg and two puncture wounds on the inside of his leg from where the wolf bit him. The tom did his best to clean out the wounds but it hurt too much and the open flesh was raw. Changing his focus off his wound Jagg began to clean the blood from his sandy colored pelt and all around the wound.

Blizzard padded to some moss and collected that first, storing it in a log to keep it dry for him to pick later. After padding around for a while he managed to find some goldenrod and dried oak leaf and bundled it into his jaws before padding back to the moss. After arranging it all where he could pick them up in his jaws he looked down the log and saw some cobwebs. After collecting them he limped back to the den, one paw covered in cobwebs.

Jagg looked up when the tom returned and pushed himself to sit up. "What are all these things for?", He asked curiously. He knew that cobwebs were to help stop the bleeding but the other herbs were completely unknown to him. The loner wasn't really one to know about herbs and things about healing. All that was usually something passed down by family, and the solid tan tom did not have a family.

Blizzard set down the herbs and the rolled the moss over to Jagg. "You can use that to make a nest. After it's done lay down with your injured leg stretched out so I can clean and dress the wound." He unwrapped the cobwebs from around his paw as he spoke and then leaned down and picked up the goldenrod and dried oak leaf before started to chew them into a pulp.

Jagg did as he was told and carefully made a nest with the moss the tom had provided. Wincing as he laid himself down ontop the nest he then proceeded to stretch out his hurt leg, clenching his jaw as he did. "Like this?", He questioned.

Blizzard nodded quickly as he grabbed a nearby leaf and spit the new pulp onto it. He then padded over and started to clean the wound with long, even strokes of his tongue. After he had cleared the wound of blood and such he grabbed the leaf and applied the pulp onto the wound. He nodded approvingly at his work before reaching back and grabbing the cobwebs. He then wrapped the cobwebs over the wound and the hers to catch nay extra bleeding. "There. The dried oak leaf should keep away infection and the goldenrod will help the wound heal. Don't get up from the nest for at least two sunrises though. I'll switch the herbs to fresh ones again tomorrow."

Jagg gritted hit teeth and curled his lips as the stranger worked on his leg. The tom couldn't help expressing a growl or two when the couldn't take it any more. When he was finally done and heard the instructions that we're given to him he quickly responded. "Two sunrises?! I can't lay here that long, I'll starve!" He argued not wanting to lay there that long at all.

Blizzard huffed and turned away. "Then don't listen. Go out there and get an infection then die from it." He then turned back to the other. "Or you can stay here for two sunrises and I can treat you. Which means I can also hunt and get water for you."

Jagg was shocked at the harshness of his words and instantly shut his mouth. The tom cat was rude, but he was also right. If Jagg did leave he could risk getting a life threatening infection. Deciding to stay put Jagg finally found his tongue and spoke. "Alright... Thank you.. My name is Jagg by the way."

Blizzard sighed and smiled at the other. "Hello Jagg. My name's Blizzard. MY sister is Igloo but she seems to be out still." He then padded to the back of the den where he had placed a mouse that he had caught earlier. Carrying it back to the other tom he dropped it at his paws. "Eat."

Afraid to reject the mouse Jagg pawed it over to where he was laying and started to eat the little creature. He flicked his tail in a thank you and continued to eat it untill there was half of it left. "Here have the rest, I am full", he meowed and pushed the half eaten mouse towards Blizzard. Looking outside he could see the rainfall getting heavier as it splashed against the dried leaves on the florist floor.

Blizzard murmured his thanks and leaned down, quickly finishing off the mouse and then burying the bones. He then padded to the entrance of the den his ears pressed back. "Igloo should be back by now. She's terrified of thunderstorms and I always help her through them."

Hearing Blizzard comment about the toms sister not having returned yet made Jagg think. "Yanno there are other cats that live out this way. There's a tom and shecat that live over that way for sure and there are always cats roaming through." The tom wasn't trying to worry his newly found friend he was just giving forth information.

Blizzard narrowed his eyes and brought one claw up, watching his paw as he slid out his claws. "Any of them hurt her and I'll kill them. She's gone through enough pain already. We just want to find a new home and live in peace."

"I'm sure she's fine when it come to other cats", Jagg meowed but then continued, "It's that wolf I'm worried about." The tan tom flattened his ears at the mention of the fierce predator. The one they encountered didn't get the meal it was hoping for and would still be on the look for one. After a second he also realized that most of the time wolves traveled in packs.

Blizzard bristled but then sighed, letting his lay flat again. "We've dealt with wolves before. She knows how to handle herself around them so she should be fine."

((I would really like to keep RPing but it's really hard with all my other characters stuck. There's really only so much two toms could say to each other before it gets weird and it seems like they are too interested in each other's lives lol))

Drake shivered feeling raindrops hit his pelt and he gave his pelt a quick shake before shrugging his shoulders at Lily."Let stay with them, once the storm stops we can head home. It's no fun being caught in a storm anyway."

Lilly was happy at the toms response and quickly replied, "Sounds good to me." As the rain started to to fall the golden brindle shecat huddled close to Drake, his bigger body helping shelter her from the storm. "Lead the way", she added looking to Igloo ready to be on their way to some shelter.

Igloo nodded, trying hard to keep her fear at bay as thunder sounded overhead. Leading the way into the forest she zigzagged around trees and bushes until she smelled the scent markers for the border and smiled. "Not far now." She sped up and soon she could see Blizzard and her's den.

Lilly easily kept pace with Igloo trailing right behind her has the hurried through the forest in attempt to escape the storm. As the rain landed on her back her ears flattened to show her discomfort of being wet. When Igloo spoke again about it not being far her ear pricked back up and became alert, her honey colored eyes scanning for the den.

Igloo padded to the den quickly and ducked inside before shaking he water from her fur. "Blizzard we have guests." She then noticed Jagg and frowned. "I see you found a new friend."

Jagg watched warily as three cats approached the den and made their way in out of the rain. The first cat that came in was a beautiful silver and black shecat and the sandy tom just simply stared at her not quite sure what to say. When she made a comment about Blizzard having him there Jagg spoke up. "I'm sorry to intrude, but your brother here saved me from a wolf and now is holding me captive untill I heal", he meowed jokingly trying to keep the mood light despite the throbbing pain that was radiating from his hind leg.
Lilly was relieved when they finally came upon Igloos den. Shaking the water from her pelt in the entrance she moved in and sat herself down in the far corner giving a nod of a hello to the cats that were already in the den. When she heard the injured tan tom speak of being attacked by a wolf her eyes widened and her fur bristled. "A wolf!?"
