Pearl couldnβt help but purr. βThatβs alright,β she said. βIβm sure thereβs been a. Lot on your mind today.β She looked back at Rivershade. βI havenβt lived with another cat in seasons. It may take some getting used to.β A lot of the cats she knew when she was younger had ran off or died, so sheβd been alone a lot more recently. And, she would hate to admit it, but being alone was the worst feeling.

Rivershade nodded, dipping his head respectfully to the white-furred she-cat. "Of course, I understand," he meowed, "I was in a similar situation myself not long ago." Before he'd joined FogClan, he had traveled alone for a long time - he had been separated from his family when he was very young, and had only encountered other cats in passing since then. Now the Clan was his family, in a strange way, he supposed; he'd live and die as Rivershade of FogClan rather than River the loner.
He turned his head at the sound of pawsteps approaching, and caught Gingerstripe's eye as the ginger tabby tom approached. He cast a mournful look at Dappleleaf's body; he thought it a horrible shame for such a kind and loving cat to have faced such a dark fate. With a respectful nod of his head he took a step back to give them more space. He finished digging Redtuft's grave and picked the red tom's body up again to lower him into the ground.

Pearl moved to help Rivershade lower Redtuftβs body, then started shuffling the dirt back over his body. βThese cats have some nasty wounds,β she muttered. She didnβt want to pry, as these cats obviously had whatever happened fresh on their minds, but she really wanted to know what caused all of this. βWho won?β

Once Redtuft's body was in the grave Rivershade had dug, filling the dirt back in was a much easier task than digging it out. "We did, I think," he mewed quietly. His tone had a dark solemnity to it, and he did not make eye contact with Pearl as he spoke. Although Snaketooth had killed Ravenstar, and his most dangerous lackeys were either dead or running back to their territory with their tails between their legs, Rivershade couldn't help but feel like there were many ways in which they'd lost. Dappleleaf, Nightwish and Badgerpaw, for one.
"Dappleleaf...I saw her fighting Fuzzytail - he was her mate once, an absolute bastard from what I've heard. Someone said Badgerpaw had his skull cracked open, and another said his neck was broken, so I don't know what actually happened to him," he admitted, keeping his voice low as he addressed Pearl, "but he was going to be a warrior soon. I think Nightwish was killed by the leader of the other Clan - again, another bastard - but I don't know about the other one, what's his name- Redtuft. Turned on his own Clanmates or something, I don't know."

Pearl listened solemnly, giving an ear flick to show she was still listening with the hearing she had left. When he finished, she gave a sigh. "Sounds like you've all had quite the day," she said. "Nearly wiped the forest clear of prey with all that ruckus." She could see the cats didn't have much amusement left in them today, so she moved and squinted her eyes at the mountains that sat at the other end of the forest. "Is your camp all the way up there?"

"Yes, though once you're up there you'll realize how nice it is to be that far up a mountain." She mewed, puffing out her chest. She was prideful of where her clan laid, it was nice and safe, at least was safe. "I can help you along the way if you need it though there's an easy incline along the side to climb up for you." She commented, flicking her ear. She looked over to the other warriors, wondering what Pearl was actually thinking about the sight of them. They looked...less than pleasant.

Pearl scoffed. "I think I can manage up there just fine," she said, although her legs already ached as they dreaded the trek she'd have to make to get up there. But according to these cats, it was worth it. And it seemed a whole lot better than maybe a mouse every few days, and sleeping all cold underneath some bush. And she wouldn't be alone anymore.

Emberpaw slunk back into camp, feeling a little bit more calm after her trip back, though still feeling the sting of disappointment. With all the time she spent, and all that effort, she only managed to lose nearly every prey she found, have one get stolen, only to end up with not even that much to show for. Thinking about it again made Emberpaw's anger rise a bit again as she approached the nursery, trying to shake it off before she managed to scare the kits. She ducked her head into the nursery, setting the prey down at her feet "Brambleflower?" She inquired, glancing around the nursery till she noticed the queen.

Sweetmaple looked up, her jaw filled with cobwebs "mm gonna go" she mewed through the mouthful of cobweb, and then turning tail on the other two cats she began through the trees towards camp. she skidded to a stop in front of Tigerstripe's crumpled form, she dropped the cobwebs and looked around "Owltuft?? Seedpaw?? she yowled anxiously"

Fawnstep mulled a thought over in her head before waving her tail. "We should take you to camp, can you guys...handle the burial without us?" She asked, trying to sound friendly to her clanmates. She wasn't close to anyone being buried right now, she felt inappropriate just burying the bodies she had. She pressed herself to Shadefang, hoping the she-cat would get the hint that she wanted her to come with her to speak to either Fogstar or Ashpelt.

Brambleflower looked up at the sound of her name being called, stiffening as though she expected someone who definitely wasn't Emberpaw as her eyes picked up on the ginger tabby pelt. She relaxed visibly when she realised that it was in fact Emberpaw and beckoned for the young she-cat to enter the den.
"Thank you, Emberpaw," she mewed, spotting the mouse at the ginger apprentice's paws. Honeykit scampered over to the mouse and gave it a sniff, nosing at its fur. He looked up at Brambleflower quizzically, as though wondering if the mouse was for them or not.

Seedpaw whirled around as Sweetmaple approached. "Oh, thank StarClan!" she exclaimed, leaning forward to take the cobwebs from the other she-cat's mouth. She beckoned for Goosefoot to come forward with the stick he had picked up so he could hold it in place while she splinted Tigerstripe's leg.

Rivershade figured it'd be best if he headed back too, considering Gingerstripe had made it clear he, Hollycloud and Ashpelt needed no help burying Dappleleaf, and Redtuft's grave was now finished. "I'll come back with you," he mewed with a dip of his head. He turned to Pearl, wondering if the white she-cat was ready to follow them to camp or not.
Fawnstep's closeness to Shadefang did not go unnoticed by the wiry grey tom, and he decided he'd walk a few paces behind to let the pair talk if they needed to; he didn't wish to intrude.

Goosefoot put the stick down on Tigerstripeβs leg and held it with his two front paws, trying not to press down too hard. βHowβs this?β he asked, his eyes unsure as he looked back up at Owltuft and Seedpaw. He knew next to nothing about medicine cat stuff, and he didnβt want to be the one to mess this up.

Shadefang stiffened as Fawnstep pressed close to her but didnβt move away. βThatβs fine,β she told Rivershade, before turning back to Pearl. βReady to go?β
Pearl looked at how close together the two she-cats were, then gave a quick nod. βYeah, we should probably give them space to bury her,β she said, then shook out her ragged pelt. βLetβs get this trip over with.β

Fawnstep began to make her way back to the camp, not talking just focusing on the mountain ahead of her. She softly pushed herself away from Shadefang, glad the she-cat was joining her but fearful of being close to her for the fear of rejection. She flicked her tail and looked back to Rivershade, making sure he was close behind to them. When she saw everyone was following, she continued looking ahead. Which cat would they talk to? Last she saw of Fogstar he was...a bit out of it but he was still the leader. I guess it's worth the try to speak to him, maybe he will be coherent by the time we reach camp.

Nervously hovering over Goosefoot,and Seedpaw .His eyes shifted back, and forth studying the angle Goosefoot held the stick.He nudged the stick a little more forward,"Like this I want it perfect."Owltuft looked back at Seedpaw awaiting for her to wrap the leg.

Seedpaw wrapped Tigerstripe's leg up with cobweb as soon as Owltuft and Goosefoot got it into place, and she winced as the dark tabby warrior groaned and writhed beneath her. He still didn't seem to understand that his hind legs were completely broken, as he kept trying to get to his paws - maybe shock? Oh, StarClan, where's the thyme? I didn't bring any! "Owltuft, should we give him thyme? For the shock?" she asked worriedly, tilting her head as she looked up at her mentor.

Owltuft shook his head ,"Thyme?Did you give him poppy seeds earlier? ."He pressed a paw down on Tigerstrip to keep him still."If you didn't then we can give him thyme "

Emberpaw looked down at the kit with a smile now growing on her face "It's no issue, let me know if you need anything else." She paused for a second, eyeing down Brambleflower "Is there anything else you need from me?" She wasn't sure what else there was to do at this point, the other cats seemed to be working on cleanup, assisting Owltuft and Seedpaw, and putting the dead to rest. She was certain with all the work done so far, there was probably not a whole lot left to do beyond wait for further instructions by either the medicine cats, or Ashpelt.

It didn't take long for Ashpelt and Gingerstripe to dig a sufficiently sized hole for Dappleleaf and, once they were done, the two toms solemnly lowered Dappleleaf into her grave. Ashpelt gave the tortoiseshell's head one last lick, then took a step back. "She was a cat with a heart of gold," he mewed softly, head lowered. "She was a fierce warrior and a gentle mother. Starclan, please accept her into your ranks. I can't think of a cat more deserving of peace." With that, he took another step back and nodded towards Gingerstripe and Hollycloud. Gingerstripe moved first, moving forward to look down at his mother. "She truly was a brilliant warrior. I remember when I was first made an apprentice, I thought I could do anything, so I ran off on my own to try to fish in the river. I got stopped by a rogue at the border. Of course, I was fresh out of the nursery, tiny, and didn't know anything about fighting. Dappleleaf came out of nowhere and sent that cat running in seconds, then went back to her warm self as soon as they were gone." He smiled at the memory. "Dappleleaf personally saw to it that you were on tick duty for two moons after that," Ashpelt recalled with a laugh. Seeing the orange tabby step back, he turned his gaze to Hollycloud, who simply stared at Dappleleaf with numb, dull eyes. His face fell and he immediately went to her side. "Do you want to say anything?" he asked quietly. "I don't need to," Hollycloud murmured, then turned around and disappeared in the underbrush. Ashpelt felt heartbroken for the young warrior, but he had to finish what he started. "Come on, let's finish up." He and Gingerstripe filled the grave, then hastily ran after Hollycloud.

Fogstar settled himself down at the start of the slope towards his den, having a bit of common sense left in him he wasn't about to attempt to make his way up there and risk falling back down the side. He glanced outside, wondering why all the cats were heading out there, was someone hurt? He grunted, wondering if he should get to his paws to check it out. I'm the leader, after all, so I should be the one check this type of stuff out right? He sighed and tried to get up but the pain all over stung, he just wasn't meant for this type of travel just yet.
