Having exactly zero intention of doing as she was in told, quite intent on remaining beside her mate the entire way for fear of losing him as he nearly had her only a couple of days ago. Soaringflower shifted her weight from one side to the other, struggling to find a comfortable position to sit. Her paws were itching to get going in spite of the fears of the uncertainty that the future held for her and the kits she carried. She let out a soft sigh, leaning down to lick at the soft fur of her underbelly with a gentle purr.

FallenDew nodded quickly before padding over to IvySong. RosePaw quickly joined her and they sat down by the heavily expecting queen to wait for their departure. RosePaw glanced at CurrentPaw, hoping she was more stable now than she was a few days ago.

Currentpaw passed beside Soaringflower, keeping her eyes forward and alert. She had calmed down yesterday thanks to Rosepaw, and her eyes kept glancing at the tom, wanting to thank him again for what he had done. She decided it was best to focus on assisting Soaringflower and stayed close to the queen .
Pebblepaw took a position in the middle, scouting around between the two queens and assuring there were no openings between the warriors in the outer ring.

Creekstar nodded to Leopardfrost and Poolingwater grateful for them to volunteer. "Wolfshadow if you will join Poolingwater in the rear then we should be set to go." Looking around at everyone the clan leader the led the way out of camp and into the forest heading straight for Star Cave.
Leopardfrost jumped up and was right behind Creekstar as he exited the camp. "I'll alert you if I hear anything", the tom meowed as she quickly past up his leader and took off in the direction of Star Cave. The white and dappled tom made sure to keep his ears perked and alert as he made his way through the forest. Constantly checking the scents that were around him as well as the ones carried on the breeze.

Twithing her long tail from side to side, not enjoying the prospect of being separated from her mate, she pushed her way with a mixed level of politeness through the ranks, ignoring the orders of her mate ad choosing to disregard the protests fo her clanmates. She slowed her pace when she reached the side of her leader, and kept careful pace with the tom. Her ears swivelling as she listened to the world around her, cautious and concerned for what life ahead of them would involve.

PoolingWater smiled at her mate as she took up her position behind the group of cats. As they exited the camp she took on a serious air though, pricking her ears and keeping her jaws parted. Every single nerve in her body was on edge as she followed the group and kept a look out for the wolves.

Arcticstrike took up position on the right side of the group and made sure to constantly be aware of him surrounding. He was happy to finally be leaving the territory, this place had become a dark place in the recent moons and he was happy to be putting it behind him.
Sunfeather did her best to keep pace on the left side of the group. It didn't take long for exhaustion to set in due to her recent illness. Realizing she had slowed down she quickened her pace and pushed through her tiredness for the good of the clan.
Ivysong was moving fairly well considering how far along she was. The queens belly swayed back and forth as she moved her legs giving her somewhat of a waddle. Looking over to her mate with excitement in her eyes she was happy to be headed to a safer place for her kits.
Creekstar looked over to his side and saw Soaringflower stubbornly pushing her way up to his flank. "You are as stubborn as a badger", the tom teased narrowing his eyes at her as he swiftly led his clan through the forest. He let his tail touch her as they traveled and made it a point to be ahead of her not wanting her to be the first thing an enemy would see if they came upon one. He could smell Leopardfrosts scent and continued to follow it trusting the tom to lead them along a safe route. However at one point he slowed down when the toms scent forked. Stopping for a second and sniffing around he realized that he must have doubled back and when he found the warriors scent marker marking the correct direction he sped back up and continued on.

PoolingWater followed after the group, still alert but encouraging cats to keep moving when thy slowed. Her eyes shone with a sense of determination and pride as she helped her clan to stay safe.
--
FallenDew stood by RosePaw and IvySong. Leaning toward the queen she spoke quickly. "Are you okay?"

Ivysong had started to pant heavily and when Fallendew asked how she was she nodded yes, full of determination to at least make it to Star Cave. The queen could feel a change in her body and she knew that it wouldn't be long. However much she wanted to slow down the queen was more afraid of kitting in the woods than anything so she pushed on. "We need to hurry", the queen said quietly to the medicine cat in between her panting. She said that because she did not want the medicine cat to suggest to Creekstar to slow down for her.

FallenDew nodded understandingly and sprinted forward through the cats to CreekStar's side. "We need to hurry to Star Cave. Like, really hurry. IvySong is about to have her kits." She looked back at the queen fearfully, hoping she would make it to the cave.

Creekstar cast a glance back and the ruddy queen as she powered on. The leader found a new respect for queens as he couldn't even imagine what she we going through. "Okay. Stay by her side, I will get us there." The clan leader then looked behind him quickly to his right and then to his left taking in the status of his clanmates. Seeing that everyone was keeping up the pace well he sped up a little more.
They had ended up passing Poppy Meadow around sunhigh and it looked as if they would be reaching Star Cave just before dusk. Looking back he checked on the queen once more and found her to still be trudging forwards. The queens will power to keep moving and to have her kits outside of the territory gave the clan leader a new sense of determination to find his clan a new safe home.

FallenDew padded beside IvySong, letting the other lean on her when she need to. She kept looking at the horizon, praying they would reach the Star Cave soon.

Brushing against his shoulder with a rumbling chuckle, "I know how much of a mousebrain you are, I'm not letting you out of my sight for one minute in case you manage to lead us off a cliff," was her playful response. But her words were meaningful, the clan was in great danger right now and if worse came to worse. She wanted to be there to spend their last minutes together, she loved him more than anything else, and would have given her own life to make sure her mate survived to lead the clan on further. Her ears were constantly swivelling, keeping alert for the surroundings and acting as though every shadow might hold a danger for them. Her ears flicked back when she heard what Fallendew had said, her eyes wideneing with fear for her fellow queen. Nettlemask's eyes widened when he caught sound of what Fallendew had said, and blatantly ignored the orders of his leader to hold ranks outside the queens and apprentices. Pushing through until he was beside his mate, and he briefly nuzzled against her ear. Casting a glare at anyone who chose to give protest as to what he was doing, the handsome tom knelt down. Offering his own back for her to get onto so he could carry her until they were somewhere safe. Nettlemask was massive, it would be difficult for him but something he would do for the sake of his loved one.

Mosspebble's eyes scanned the area ahead. She knew Leopardfrost was scouting further in front of the others, but she continued to keep her eyes for anything surrounding them, especially wolves. At the thought, Mosspebble glanced towards Currentpaw who was staying close to the laboring Ivypool, trying her best to soothe the she-cat and provide any necessary support. Mosspebble sighed, looking back ahead and hoping they'd reach Star Cave soon.

PoolingWater was still alert as she padded on but soon felt nauseous. Without warning her legs gave out but she soon recovered and stood back up, praying that no one had noticed. To cover up the mishap she started to pad around, sniffing at bushes and such for any scent of predators.

Wolfshadow who had kept careful pace with his mate and watching her with the intentness of a hawk, quickly leapt to help steady her when she stumbled. Pressing his nose to her ear with a soft purr, "Take it easy," he warned her with a soft purr. "Carry on and I'll carry you myself," he added with a playfull purring sound. Nuzzling her ear as they continued on at a steadier pace.

PoolingWater nodded sheepishly, flattening her ears. I don't even know what happened. I just felt sick all of a sudden. She quickly shook her fur out. Can't focus on that now. I need to keep the clan safe.

Tilting his black head to the side, concern lighting his dark eyes as he leant closer to nuzzle at her cheek in a loving manner. "Is something wrong? Are you not feeling well?" Wolfshadow asked with a great tone of concern for the shecat he loved. The tom was normally playful and flirtatious, but now worried that his mate might be unwell or hurting he had become deadly serious.

PoolingWater smiled and nuzzled him back. "I'm fine. Just felt a little dizzy for a second there." She smiled at him, her one eye bright with love for the tom. "Really though, I'm fine now." She twined her tail with his for a moment, enjoying the warmth his fur gave and just the calm that washed over her from having him by her side.

Pebblepaw paced himself to pad beside Rosepaw. He nudged the tom and looked over at him. "Did you talk to Currentpaw?" he asked, glancing at his sister who was padding ahead of them.

RosePaw looked over at his friend and nodded. "Yes. She had been frightened of the wolves and was in shock from seeing them. I helped her calm down and then she fell asleep. I talked to her the other nights as well to make sure she was okay." He smiled slightly. "I like being able to help her."

A soft sigh came from the handsome tom as he entwined his long black tail with hers and pressed closer to her for a short minute. Enjoying the warmth of her fur as they walked side by side to a new home, and hopefully a better and safer future. He cast his gaze across her contemplatively, "You are too proud my love," he told her with a chuckle. Licking her cheek as he pulled away from her a little with a playful grin. "I know you too well, and you need to admit when your hurting. I will always do what I can to help you," he told her firmly.

PoolingWater laughed slightly and nuzzled her mate softly. "Yeah yeah. I'm fine though, really. The dizziness passed." She smiled brightly, hoping her mate would leave it alone as she really didn't know what had caused the dizziness in the first place.

Continuing to look less than certain about whether or not his mate was telling the truth, but the dark warrior decided to leave it be. Nuzzling her shoulder, the pair continued to walk along side by side. Eager to get going and reach the StarCave, especially considering the fact that it would appear their numbers would soon expand. And he knew it was important to reach somewhere safe for when that happened. "It would appear that Ivysong is going to have her kits," the tom said attempting to make his tone of voice sound somewhat neutral. He twitched an ear at her, "What do you think about that?" He asked with half a smile, flirtatious mixed with a little seriousness.

Pebblepaw nodded, a soft smile on his face. "That's good. Thank you for being there for her... I know she's still a little shaken but she seems to be doing a lot better thanks to you". Pebblepaw playfully shoved Rosepaw before glancing back at Currentpaw. "I still don't even know how to talk to her about it, which is strange for us. We're usually pretty close"

PoolingWater looked at the queen before nodding. "I believe it's great. We just will need to make sure we get somewhere safe so that no harm will come to the kits. We'll also need to have warriors carry the kit for the journey but we'll need to stop frequently enough for them to nurse." She started to make a mental list of times they would need to rest and the amount of time they should spend resting before heading out again.
