Robinwhisper felt herself thoroughly enjoying Flightpaw's company on the trek back to camp. She found herself wondering, however, how long he would still be an apprentice. To her, he seemed as well-rounded and responsible as any warrior. After many silent moments enjoying the pre leaf-bare weather she decided to speak her mind. "Are you excited to finish your apprentice training?" She mewed, never breaking her leisurely stride. Being out training both Paintpaw and Flightpaw made her think back to her own warrior training with her sister, Bluepool. Though their apprenticeship had been much different; Robinwhisper always having to cover for her sister's absences from hunting patrols or the apprentice duties such as searching the elders for ticks because she was at the river or doing Starclan knows what wasn't exactly normal for clan cats. Hawkjaw understood her, though, and always made sure their training was fun without two cats.

(lmao okii)
Stormtangle began to stalk towards the squirrel, making sure to tread lightly as to not disturb any leaves. She was a pounce away when suddenly the wind shifted in direction, causing her scent to be blown towards the squirrel. The squirrel sat up and, realizing that it was being hunted, chattered an alarm before darting away. Stormtangle gave chase, determined to not let her prey slip past her yet again. The squirrel quickly scaled up the nearest tree, the she-cat still in hot pursuit. I won't let you get away! She thought, clawing her way up the trunk.
Leaping from branch to branch, Stormtangle climbed higher and higher until she was nearly at the top canopy of the tree. Seeing the squirrel just tail length ahead of her, Stormtangle scrambled onto a branch opposite and dropped into a crouch, preparing to lunge. Suddenly, a loud crack split the air, and the branch wobbled underneath her weight. Struggling to regain her balance, the she-cat sunk her claws deep into the bark, holding on for dear life. There was another crack, and the branch split in half before giving way. Stormtangle shrieked as she tumbled down the tree, hitting the ground with a sickening thump. She lay there motionless, as the clouds from the rubble began to clear around her limp form.

Dreamwave noticed Cobwebpaw padded over towards the loners. She moved towards her, keeping her shoulder against the apprentice, giving her a stern look that told her not to move closer to Skystar or the others. She knew the little apprentice was total pawful, and even though Skystar was her mentor, she didn't want Cobwebpaw thinking that that was a good enough reason for her to get involved. Cobwebpaw opened her mouth to protest but clicked it shut. She let out a huff and licked at her puffed up chest. She wanted to argue with the she-cat but Dreamwave was the most senior warrior. Cobwebpaw liked to get her way and cause a fuss but she wasn't stupid. She wasn't going to directly disobey her...at least not while she was still watching her. She couldn't help but stand tall as she watched her mentor work though. He was such a good leader. She wanted to be like that someday...

"We had no prior knowledge of them being here.We split up in Larkclan territory moons ago."Squirrel retorted."We thought they joined Larkclan."Chipmunk slunk down in the midst of this."Squirrel just stop.Why would these cats listen to us?It's a miracle we're not dead.Maybe mother was right,Starclan does choose favorites."He said heading towards the camp entrance.
(Larkclan is an OC clan in one of my stories.Chip's mother was a clan cat but their clan was destroyed.)

Duskwhisker purred as he walked over to where Tricklepaw sat with the bird. βGood job, that was a quick reaction,β he said, touching his tail tip to the younger tomβs shoulder. βBut next time, keep your tail still when youβre stalking, but still off the ground.β He was proud of his apprentice, but of course he couldnβt catch birds like that every time. βBury it and weβll keep going.β
((lol rip at least he had the one good one))

Daisypaw smiled and curled her tail over her paws. βWhat do you do when you train to be a warrior?β she asked, tilting her head at Paintpaw. βI hunted once, but Iβve only caught one thing.β She laughed, then thought back to her spat with Petalpaw that morning. βIt looks like fun.β

[Wow Bluepool is just all around awful LOL]
Not noticing any change in tone from the she-cat, Flightpaw nodded and replied around the mouse in his jaws. "Yep, I sure am. I can finally go out of camp without being bothered by other apprentices or warriors. I look forward to regular warrior patrol duties especially. I love my Clan, and I think having my warrior name will make me more useful... in a way." As they approached camp, he scented some strange cats he didn't recognize, and his pelt bristled as he moved faster.

((Can't have good hunting all the time XD))
"Okay, okay!" Tricklepaw said with a playful roll of his eyes. He quickly scrapped some dirt over it and took a step away before going back and adding more dirt. He really didn't want another animal to take it. He looked it over once more before nodding to Duskwhisker. "Alright, I'm ready to keep going."

Having caught a mouse as well, Softlight was pleased with his prey and short hunt enough to unbury them both and return to camp. He carried them both in his jaws and trotted along the stream, before turning and moving towards the tree line.
As he started searching for Stormtangle so they could head back to camp together, he couldn't scent her due to the change of wind. He knew she was close, but it took him a few moments before he caught her scent again. As he started moving in her direction, he heard her cry out. His body shook at the sound, and he bolted forward with such force that he felt his rear paws kicking up earth as he went. Dropping his prey along the way, he called out. "Stormtangle?!"

Huffing, Dreamwave didn't make another sound as she moved her shoulder from Cobwebpaw's side after she was sure that the apprentice had decided it was best to do as Dreamwave instructed. She continued to look on at the group of cats before her, her tail lashing as she didn't attempt to conceal her attitude. Heck, if she was leader, she was certain she would have torn their tails off for having even stepped a single paw into the Clan's forest.

(Larkclan is an OC clan in one of my stories.Chip's mother was a clan cat but their clan was destroyed.) The fact that these cats gave an aura off that held little to no concern, Skystar couldn't prevent his pelt from spiking upward, even against the wind. He felt agitated, and his temper grew. His voice was no longer as calm; it seemed seething. "I said, we'll escort you out." His eyes had narrowed and his pupils dilated. He didn't like the attitude from these two cats, that acted like their morals meant nothing.
Skystar moved quickly towards Chipmunk, blocking him from leaving the camp without a group of Clan cats. His eyes darted around, making eye contact with cats that said, 'You better get over here and get on their tails.'

Robinwhisper nodded in agreement "I remember that feeling. It was amazing to finally not be a 'paw'." Flightpaw was ahead of her when she saw his pelt bristle. She couldn't see any immediate threat, so she parted her jaws to smell around her. "What in the name of Starclan?" she asked aloud, shouldering pst Flightpaw to reach the entrance before him.
(I love Bluepool lmao))

Stormtangle faded in and out of consciousness, moaning in pain. Her body felt broken and the agony was almost too much to bear. Am I dying? She thought, her breaths coming in shallow gasps. Hearing Softlight's alarmed call, she winced as she attempted to pull herself from the debris of the branch. "S-Softlight," She called weakly, her vision beginning to go black. "I'm over here..."

Cobwebpaw looked pleadingly at Dreamwave as Skystar blocked the loners from leaving. "Can I?", she murmured under her breath, not wanting the loners to hear her. She was practically wiggling on her haunches as she waited for permission. She wanted to help! She was strong, she could take them if they acted up!
((I'll send Crookedpounce if Cobwebpaw isn't allowed so no worries either way.))

Flightpaw was shocked as he and his mentor entered the camp. His eyes were wide, but he didn't say anything. He almost ran into Skystar as he entered, but he quickly skirted around to place his prey on the pile before padding over to the group of his clanmates that stood gathered around. He could tell they were all on edge, and he could feel himself sheath and unsheath his claws when he noticed how Skystar looked with his aggravated expression.

Hawkjaw followed Skystar promptly, rounding on the other side of Squirrel so that both sides of the cats were flanked. He was surprised to see his leader become something he normally wasn't. Anger had leveled out of Hawkjaw by now, he only felt the need to escort these cats from sheer annoyance of their lack of knowledge. He had known most cats don't live the warrior life, but to have ignorance to the degree of strolling into camp made him feel bitter and mocked. How did no cat catch them on their way in?

Softlight felt his neck crack almost painfully when he had pinpointed where he had heard Stormtangle's voice come from. "I'm coming!" she shouted, bounding in the direction, his soft fur getting torn out as he carelessly ran past brambles and thickets.
He stared in horror when he found Stormtangle's limp body at the base of a tree, laying near a broken branch. "Stormtangle!" he called, rushing over to her and gently nuzzling her face to try and keep her awake. "We have to get you back to camp," he said hurriedly. "Do you think you can stand?"

Annoyed, Dreamwave thought that she would likely never stop hearing the endless whining of Cobwebpaw if she said no. She rolled her eyes, and if the situation was different, she would have loudly grunted with distaste. "Fine," she muttered under her breath. "You better stay behind me, or I'll have your warrior ceremony delayed. Understood?" Her eyes challenged Cobwebpaw to say something other than an agreement.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Cobwebpaw cheered under her breath before clearing her throat and trying to still herself. "I mean, yes, understood, Dreamwave." She stood and shook out her fur though it still bristled slightly with hostility down her spine. She kept herself from baring her teeth at the loners but kept her dark eyes locked on them. This one going ro be one of the most important duties she had ever been allowed to do. She had to take it seriously.

Chipmunk slunk down immediately.Squirrel stood between the two toms."First you tell us to leave then you tell us to stay?Sometimes you toms confuse me.We gave you our word we wouldn't steal from you.We've been here for a few days and haven't eaten.Though I can't say the same for another loner we've seen.You guys seem to be feeding him well."She had a challenging look in her eye like she was trying to get an answer.

Stormtangle sighed with relief as she saw Softlight bounding towards her. Mustering what little energy she had left, the young she-cat managed to yank herself from the remaining rubble before flopping down limply at the tom's paws.
"Softlight," she groaned, fiery pain still gripping her body. "I-I don't think I can."

"We don't want you to stay." hissed Hawkjaw. He had tried his best to stay calm, but the she-cats tone tugged at his heart a new way."We are escorting you out of our territory. I don't think right now I'd be getting too brave, either." He was shocked the she-cat would admit the two had been in the territory for more than just today. He almost hadn't heard 'other loner'. He shook his head in disbelief. "What 'other loner?" he hissed through clenched teeth.

βCan you still scent the squirrel?β Duskwhisker asked, scenting the air for himself. βOr anything else new over here?β He may want to do his own hunting during the session; maybe it would help Tricklepaw some more. Tricklepaw scented the air again and scrunched up his nose in annoyance. "Kind of? I think it may have moved after I caught the bird." he admitted, kicking at the dirt. He moved around the area and keep scenting until he caught the scent of more prey. "I smell mouse." he called to his mentor before slinking off through the trees after the scent. He didn't want to lose it. He found the little creature digging around near a rotten log. He quietly got on top of the far end and began to walk down the log towards the mouse. Suddenly, his paw went through the log and he fell through the wood with a surprised yelp. The mouse ran at the sound and Tricklepaw cursed under his breath.

"Oh,I thought you knew.There's a cream colored tom that a couple of your warriors have been hanging out with.Mainly at night but that's when me and Chipmunk travel most of the time."Squirrel responded.She was shocked that these two had no idea there was a loner being fed."You know,you should really watch your cats more closely."
