Pale Streak finished off what was left of the rabbits before picking up Hare by the scruff. After setting her gently in the next he laid down and curled himself around them and pressed his forehead to his mates. "It almost feels like we're a family."

Snow Stripe purred sleepily in response, lifting her muzzle to groom her mate's ears and neck before slowly letting her muzzle drop to her paws as she grew tired. She half-closed her eyes, watching the sleeping kits, before finally dozing off.

Shaded Hollow nodded sadly. "We had to leave because there was no water. Cats were dying. We were forced to find a way to survive." She then shook away the feeling of missing her home and smiled. "I can help you with hunting if you want." Doe's flight perked up a little at this. "Really?" She asked with slight excitement. "That would be wonderful!" She told the other she cat. "Where should we hunt?"

Shaded Hollow purred at the others excitement before looking up at the starry sky. "We'll go out tomorrow to the forest. I can show you the new ways I've learned to hunt there." She then stood with a swish of her tail. "For now though lets get some rest.

Pale Streak smiled at his mate before gazing around the cavern. Moonlight shone down through the crack in the roof and the twinkle of stars could be seen reflected in the pool of water. I'm home. He then looked at Snow Stripe and then the kits and purred. No, we're home. With that he laid his head on his paws twined his tail with Snow Stripe's, and fell asleep with the sound of the breeze above echoing in his ears.

(Hope you don't mind I started the next day)
Bristle slowly lifted her head, gazing upwards and blinking in astonishment. Instead of the prickly branches of her den roof, she instead saw the high reaching walls of a cavern. For a moment she was confused. Where am I? Glancing at the two cats beside her and her littermates, she suddenly remembered. Getting to her paws, careful not to wake the others, she squirmed over Pale Streak's flank and began to pad around the cave.

It's fine))
Hare woke as she felt movement beside her. Opening her eyes she saw her sister scrambling over the tan tom and quickly sat up. She followed her sister and when her paws touched the ground of the cavern she stretched with a yawn. She then padded after her sister. "Bristle! We shouldn't wander around. This isn't our home."

She then stood with a swish of her tail. "For now though lets get some rest. {Doe's flight is younger, right? } Doe's flight nodded. "Okay." She meowed, her excitement slowly waning. She was tired, but the thought of learning a new way to hunt was just amazing. "Where are we going to sleep then?" She asked Shaded Hollow, having been unable to sleep for a few nights herself.

(I love Doe's Flight picture omg)
Bristle made a face at her sibling. "So? They're still asleep! We can explore!" She turned and scampered off, her small paws thudding lightly on the ground as she charged towards the large pool in the middle of the cave. "Pretty!" she declared, slipping over and dipping her muzzle to take a drink. Pulling back with water droplets on her whiskers, she turned and trotted off to explore the other nests.

Snow Stripe twitched her ears, slowly woken up by the sound of small voices. As her eyes opened to see only one kit sleeping beside her, her head snapped up in surprise. Looking around, she noticed Hare and Bristle not too far away; flicking her whiskers in amusement, she rolled onto her stomach to watch them quietly, tucking her front paws underneath her chest as she settled in comfortably.

{Lol. Thanks.}
Doe's flight woke up to a bright sun, shining down on her from the sky she had slept under the night before. She arose to her paws and stretched, unable to see any other cats around, she padded towards the nursery. "I wonder how the kits are?" She meowed to herself, having worried about them since her unsuccessful hunt. She poked her head in to see if they were awake. "Hello?" She whispered.

There's no nursery Squirellfire)) Hare huffed and padded after her sister. "Them being asleep is even more of a reason for us to not to wander around! It's not nice." She grabbed her sister's tail and tried to tug her back toward the nest.

It's alright. Shaded Hollow has her nest under a stray gorse. You can just have Doe's Flight go wake her up))

{Okay. She can do that then. } Doe's Flight padded over to Shaded Hollow where she slept and hesitated, not wanting to wake the older warrior for fear that she would be grumpy. She lightly poked the warrior with a tentative paw. "Sh-Shaded Hollow? Are you awake?" SHe asked, taking a few steps back.

Shaded Hollow stirred and opened her green eyes lazily. When her eyes focused she saw Doe's Flight and stood, stepping out from under the gorse before stretching and shaking each paw. "Hello Doe's Flight."

Doe's flight relaxed as she saw that the older warrior wasn't grumpy. "I wanted to see if you wanted to go hunting." She asked, hoping the older she cat would still want to go hunting with her. "Maybe this time we can catch something to bring to the kits." She meowed thoughtfully.

There's no kits in the camp yet))
Shaded Hollow purred. "What kits? There's none due for at least another moon." Her slightly swollen belly swayed under her as she padded toward the path that led out of the hollow before looking over her shoulder. "Coming?"
(What's Doe's Flight strong suit??? If it's leaping and such then I have an idea))

{I feel it is more stealth and surprise, but perhaps she has a hidden talent in jumping. } Doe's Flight shook her head to clear it. "Must've been a dream." She meowed with embarrassment. "I had a dream that the tribe had kits here already."

Oh okay. I'm just trying to find out who should be the founder of the new skyclan))
Shaded Hollow laughed happily. "Not yet but soon. She curled her tail down and around her belly as she padded to the path and out of the hollow before setting a pace toward the thicker area of the forest.

Doe's Flight followed her, the strange dream in her head stuck for some reason. "This is weird." She meowed to herself. She had been having a lot of odd dreams lately, and she had no way to explain them. "I've had a lot of dreams lately, but none of them make any sense." {That would be fun.

Shaded Hollow looked at the other. "You too? I've been having really odd dreams as well the past few moons." The undergrowth thickened around her as she spoke.

Doe's flight nodded. "I have no idea what they mean. Like the one last night... about kits in the camp." She meowed, confused at what the dream meant. "Could it mean that I am going to have kits of my own?" She asked.

Shaded Hollow thought for a moment. "Well you don't have a mate that I know of at the moment so I would guess that's not it." Her own recent dream flashed through her head and she curled her tail around her belly tighter.
(We could have it where Doe's Flight was warning that Shaded Hollow's kits come early. And Shaded Hollow's a warning that one of the kits are stillborn))

{That would be interesting. Been trying to catch up on everything that I missed yesterday since I was sick.} Doe's flight shrugged. "No, there aren't really any tom's I'm really attracted to, no." She admitted. "Though it could be in the future. My dream I mean." She meowed thoughtfully. "Have you had any weird dreams lately?" She asked Shaded Hollow, noticing the tense air coming from her, but saying nothing.

Shaded Hollow nodded slowly before speaking. "I had a dream last night. I saw six baby rabbits jumping across the more but one of them suddenly froze up and would no longer move. I saw the same thing happen with six mice and squirrels and the," she swallowed, "six kits." Her tail tightened around her belly.
(Ok))

"Relax!" Bristle laughed, yanking her tail out of Hare's grasp. She turned to swipe playfully at her sister before freezing as she noticed Snow Stripe propped up on her forepaws, watching them in amusement.

Hare saw her sister freeze and turned, following her gaze. "Oh... um... sorry that we're running about your home." She turned and nodded her head respectfully, her ears folding onto her head shyly.

Doe's Flight simply nodded. "Well at least they are just dreams." She meowed happily as she padded along. "For now, I think we should focus on hunting to provide food for the tribe and for the future kits." She meowed with emphasis on future. "Where should we hunt?" She asked again, hoping to distract Shaded Hollow from the kits.

Shaded Hollow smiled before walking toward a gnarled oak and shooting up the trunk to stand on the lowest bough. "Come on. I'll show you easiest way to catch squirrels." Amusement danced in her eyes.
