When the water hit his chest and he had to start swimming he bit back a small cry, it had been a while since he had been in water like this. He hated the feeling of it tugging at his fur and the coldness on his pelt but he powered through, swimming to the other side and crawling to shore. He shook his pelt and refrained from licking it, worried his scent would come back if he tried to. He looked back to Robinsong and the others, making sure they were all okay as they crossed the water themselves.

"I'm okay." Snaketooth commented, but he quickly turned when he heard a rustle in the bushes. His fur bristled and he let out a low growl towards the creature, scenting both something familiar and off to him. Who is that? He crept forward, eyes narrowed as he tried to figure out who it could be in the bushes waiting for them.

The black tom stepped out, limping a bit. His eyes were wide as he examined the cats before him and he had to stop himself before he alerted anyone that he was out here. "Snaketooth? Ashpelt? What are you doing here?" He shot a look to the she-cats with them and gave Shadefang a sharp sniff before crinkling his nose. "With..uhm..new cats?" He had never seen these cats before, who were they? More importantly what were they doing back? "It's dangerous for you guys to go here, I had to tell the cats posted outside of camp that I was going to dirt place." Snaketooth nodded to Ashpelt, suggesting he should speak to the tom.
{Sorry I just really wanted to introduce this adorable cat already haha }

"I don't think so, I came alone. Though Ravenstar has a habit of sending cats to spy on others." He admitted sheepishly, feeling a bit bad that he almost ruined their mission. "How are you guys planning to get into the camp? Ravenstar has at least three cats awake at all times. I know it's a lot, but since he got rid of the code...We don't need as many hunting patrols and whatnot. Cats hunt when they want." He sat down, dragging his back paw so it'd be sticking out beside him. He wrapped his paws in front of his two front paws and tried to think of a way to help them. "Right now it's just Alderfang, Snowthrush, and Brighttooth on guard." He shuddered as he remembered the cats. "Is there anyway I can help? And..uhm..is Fogstar taking in rogues? Loners?" He was asking a lot of questions but he had been coming out here a lot more lately in hopes they would come back so he had several questions roaming in his mind. He felt like if he could help them maybe they will be willing to take him back with them but he was also quite curious about the three she-cats with them.

{I couldn't! Eek is it fixed now? }
"She's doing fine, I believe. I don't see many cats right now. Ravenstar thinks I'm useless so he has me as kind of..a permanent apprentice? Without the perks of training though. I just change bedding, eat last, etc. There's other cats that want to leave, I think your sister might be one of them. As for his nine lives, I'm not sure. He went to go get them and when he got back he declared Starclan wasn't real and any cat who looked to them would be punished." He shifted his front paws uncomfortably, he remembered the night of Ravenstar coming back pretty well. It was the day after they left and ever since then everything had been declining. He perked up a bit though at the mention of taking him back with them. He couldn't wait for it, he had hoped for this. He had imagined this day a lot, but he never thought it would happen.

(yeah, it's good now!)
Ashpelt shot Snaketooth an uncomfortable look, then looked back to Twistedpaw. "Well, this certainly changes our plan," he mumbled, shuffling his paws anxiously. He stared thoughtfully at the dark sky. How are we supposed to get cats out if Ravenstar has such a hold on them? We can't just walk into their camp. But Twistedpaw... As he thought of the apprentice, his gaze lowered to meet the younger tom. "I need you to get Dappleleaf to meet with me, but no other cat can know we're here," he mewed, body growing rigid at the thought of being caught. "With two cats on the inside, it'll be easier to figure out how to get the others out. Can you do that, Twistedpaw?"

"I can try, sure.." He looked around them before getting up and limping away, when he was about to disappear into the bushes he stopped and called to them "Wait here, it should be safe...and thanks for coming back, all of you." With that the tom slipped away and headed towards camp, picking up speed now as he felt himself approaching it. He could see the faint outline of Alderfang standing at the entrance, the tom had his eyes narrowed as he watched him. Twistedpaw said nothing as he slipped by, hoping he wouldn't have to deal with Ravenstar starting tomorrow. He paused in the camp, looking to the different dens in hopes there wasn't another cat posted outside them. He saw the white fur of Snowthrush near the back of camp but it seemed that Brighttooth was nowhere to be seen. He pelt pricked as he tried to make his way into the warrior's den, hoping not to wake anyone.

Waspwing heaved herself onto dry land, wheezing and spitting out water. "That was the worst thing I've ever done, I'm never swimming again. The water is my nemesis and I will not go anywhere near it for the rest of my life," she rasped, her yellow eyes round as she stared up at her Clanmates. She had entered the water first, but apparently she'd been the last to get her act together and get herself out. Her eyes widened further at the sight of the stranger, a dark-furred tom with a twisted hind paw. She stared at him as he spoke to Ashpelt and Snaketooth, and waited until he was long gone before she spoke. "Who was that? I thought we weren't supposed to be spotted?" she hissed. From what she'd overheard of their conversation, the black cat - Twistedpaw, Ashpelt had called him - seemed to be friendly enough, but she wasn't ready to trust him just because he knew Ashpelt and Snaketooth. "Also, Ravenstar? You're telling me this nutjob was given nine lives?"

Seedpaw shook her head. "No, it's nothing bad," she reassured Cloudsplash, offering the queen a bright smile, "I don't know what it is yet because he sent me back to the den, but when he came back he didn't look worried so I'm assuming it was a good sign! You don't need to worry." She glanced over her shoulder to look for Owltuft, and saw her mentor sticking his head into the warriors' den. I bet he's looking for somebody to come with us. "I'll let you know when we get back, if you'd like," she offered.

Twistedpaw looked over the sleeping forms around them and pressed his muzzle to her ear. "Ashpelt, border with the water, now." He had to be quick with this, he didn't want to risk being spotted in here. He nodded to her and slipped out of the den, right when he did Brighttooth entered the camp with a thrush in his jaw. He crouched down, hoping for once his black pelt would help him blend in. The young tom didn't seem to notice him though as he dropped the prey in front of Snowthrush. Letting out a small exhale he retreated towards the apprentice's den, hoping the cats would be here soon to save them.

Making his way to the warrior's den he poked his head into the den.βI request the assistance of a warrior on an important journey. Any takers?β He asked, glancing around the few resting cats. Waterfur can tag along Broken)) (here you go!)

The tom looked to Waspwing then Ashpelt, following their conversation. "I don't think he got his nine lives either, if he did then is Starclan really that great?" He hated saying it out loud because he followed Starclan and prayed to it often, but it felt like if a cat like Ravenstar got their nine lives after overthrowing a cat, they weren't all they were talked up to be. He shook himself, trying to focus but he thought of something to add. "If they did give him nine lives too, does that mean Ravenstar was right along? That Fogstar wasn't strong enough to rule us?" He kind of gave himself a shake at the idea, he didn't like thinking that the cat who was leader when he was just a kit wasn't actually the right cat for the job. He let out a low sigh to himself and looked to the tree line, trying to focus on everything.
{ Okay so what cats are rescuing? I know we are doing Dappleleaf and Twistedpaw. Probably Kitepaw and Brambleflower right? }

{Owlspots is Kitepaw and Brambleflower right? Sorry I didn't put cats outside the clan on the front page yet ^^; I'll be doing that today but yeah. If kitepaw is one, Twistedpaw can try and convince them to leave. }
Snaketooth accepted his answer and looked back to bushes, waiting for Dappleleaf to come out. He hoped she was well fed and looking well, unlike Twistedpaw who looked like he hadn't eat in a bit. "I agree, I think they wouldn't do that. I hope Fogstar is content enough with warriors and apprentices coming back with us." He didn't want to go near the camp if it was heavily watched but he felt like they might have to.

(yep, that's owl! also don't forget to add Cloudsplash and Flintfur to the mates list ^^)
Dappleleaf slipped out of camp as silently and discreetly as she could, keeping her expression indifferent to avoid suspicion. She was a warrior and her mate was a staunch supported of Ravenstar, so she was a less conspicuous character; she doubted any cat would really question her leaving, especially when they knew how loud her brother snored. She made her way towards the river, intentionally taking a long and indirect route to throw off any cat who might be following her. Finally, she reached the riverbank and padded along the edge for a while until she saw a group of cats ahead. Among them, she recognized her brother and her pace increased. Near him, she also recognized Snaketooth, but the others looked new to her. "Ashpelt! Snaketooth!"

{I knew I was forgetting something else! Will be adding now! } "Dappleleaf! It's good to see you" Snaketooth purred, warmed at the sight of another of his former clanmates. He nodded to Ashpelt if he wanted to greet her or exchange any pleasantries before they really got down to the task at hand. He knew it seemed off to have so many new cats with them, but he didn't mention it. He wanted them to just be viewed as clan cats, not by their past life.

Ashpelt immediately touched noses with his sister and gave her head a lick. "Thank Starclan you're okay! The kits?" "Safe," Dappleleaf confirmed, causing Ashpelt to visibly relax. "Good." The deputy looked between his sister and the patrol, contemplating whether or not they had time for introductions. Just make it quick. "Dappleleaf, this is Shadefang, Waspwing, and Robinsong," he mewed, nodding towards each cat in turn. "They're warriors in the new clan. I chose them for this mission. Now that that's out of the way, Dappleleaf, we need your help to get cats out of the clan." Dappleleaf's eyes widened and she took a step back. "You want me to get cats out of Cedarclan?" Something flashed in her eyes and she lowered her voice. "I'll do it. What's the plan?" Ashpelt smiled at his sister. She must be thinking of her kits. "I was thinking we would do something similar to what we're doing right now. One cat at a time, meet us at the river at night," he explained, looking to his patrol for input. "It'll keep us here longer than we thought, but we should be okay so long as no one else crosses the river."

Snaketooth didn't like the idea of staying here longer than they needed but he did agree it was a smart idea. "We should set up a better camp then, shouldn't we?" He asked, looking back to where they had set up. He hoped Fogstar wouldn't grow concern if they took longer than needed, surely he'd understand the whole point of it. Snaketooth looked warily at Dappleleaf now, taking a deep breath before he spoke. "I think we should try and get out the ones he wouldn't notice first."
