NightBringer blood boiled as Sakura called clan cats weird. Her way of life wasn't weird! With a furious howl, the previously exhausted warrior flew into battle mode, adrenaline pounding in her veins. Shaking herself hard, she swiped out at Sakura, wicked claws meeting soft skin.

( LightBringer ) Sakura froze as she felt claws digging into her leg. She let herself be tossed onto the ground, her posture suddenly limp. She had done this a lot recently when she felt anything force pressure on that leg, cause it had been giving her some problems lately. She tried to regain her focus, but just laid there, lashing her tail because she felt weak. She knew that this other cat might take this opportunity to kill her or even just lame her, but she couldnβt do anything about until her body decided she could move again.

NightBringer backed away, crouching at the edge of the clearing. "I dont want to fight... If I have to I will, but I don't want to. " She growled loudly, claws tearing at the ground as she watched Sakura with narrowed eyes. The she cat see me frozen.. And she wouldn't attack somecat unable to defend itself. It wasn't right, and went against her upbringing.

( LightBringer ) βYouβre weak,β Sakura hissed through gritted teeth. She couldnβt move that was true, but she could still talk and she knew how to fight with words. βYou ARE one of them. I thought you had a familiar scent.β She was starting to unfreeze, her muscles loosening. She continued with her harsh words, βYou clan cats are weak. Every single one I face. When this happens you just wait and let me get up to fight again. Why donβt you kill me, huh? Is it because of your βhonorβ?β She mocked the she-cat, but since her back was to her, Sakura couldnβt see Nightbringer reaction. She was disappointed about this, but she had seen it before, so she pictured it in her head.

NightBringer hissed back, before sighing softly. "I won't fight when you can't fight back.... Because my whole family wasn't given that chance to fight back. And I refuse to slaughter another when they can't defend themselves.... Not after what happened to them" She replied, sadness tinging her voice. Her eyes were distant, and she has to shake herself to focus. She had not intended to say as much, but, it was too late to take it back now.

( LightBringer ) βOk, ok whatever. Youβre still too soft for your own good,β Sakura growled, her muscles almost fully under her control. She slowly sat up, her back still to the she-cat. Then she mewed, βWait, you said your family wasnβt given the chance to fight back? To who? Now I need to know this story.β As she said it, she turned around a stared at Nightbringer, thrilled at the chance to hear anotherβs backstory. Though she also knew that this cat might not want to share with her. After all, Sakura was the enemy here.

A snort of amusement issued from NightBringer, and she watched as her enemy sat up, and faced her. "Oh now you want to know.. " While not exactly wanting to share the story, it gave her a chance to rest, and so she sat quietly, wrapping her tail around her paws. "Ill tell you, but I don't want to fight after. I just want a place to rest, and gain my strength back" The tired out she cat mewed.

NightBringer shrugged. "This isn't my clan. I came from another clan." The she cat laid down, tucking her paws under her. "My clan was fierce, well trained. We lived peacefully alongside our neighbors. But, it went very, very wrong.... " She growled softly at the memory. "I was out hunting, it's why I survived. I was just... Lucky. Even though it doesn't feel like it"

NightBringer, knowing there was no stopping now, plunged into the story full speed. "I had managed to catch a few things to bring back. As I walked back towards camp, the prey scent covered almost everything else... But the blood stench. That coppery, metallic taste flooded even over the prey, and when I noticed it, I dropped my prey, and bolted for camp. There wasn't much that could make that smell hang so heavy in the air.. And when I reached camp, I was gagging on it. It was so thick and overwhelming, I almost stopped" The she cat shuddered, and paused before continuing.
"I pushed my way through the entrance and.. Into a bloodbath. Everyone in the clan was there. Everyone I knew, everyone I loved. My family. My friends. Slaughtered. The wounds on each was overwhelming and not something to be recovered from.. Even my leader, was there. Her last 4 lives draining.. And there was nothing I could do. No one I could save. " By now, her voice was thick with emotion. Her eyes filled with tears as she replayed her past.

Wildmane | 23 Moons [ Determined & Prickly & Insecure ] {{Robinbreeze (Sakura) & LightBringer (Nightbringer) // Near Forestβs Edge}}
Wildmane stumbled over a root, caught up at snapping at Swansong. The white she-cat gave an amused purr at her sisters misfortune, which had Wildmane hissing and spluttering in the mud where sheβd fallen. Swansong stopped when she noticed their missing companions. βWhere are Bearswipe and Stormpatch?β
βHow in the stars would I know?β Wildmane hissed as she shook one of her muddy paws, slinging grime everywhere. Gracefully Swansong sidestepped the mess before raising her nose to the air.
βI smell blood.β Swansong mewed, her eyes narrowing at some spot off to their left.
Wildmane dismissed this with a flick of her tail, a splatter of mud echoing the sentiment. βBearswipe or Stormpatch must have stopped and caught something.β With this the small warrior made to move further up the trail.
βItβs cat blood.β
Wildmane froze mid-step before lifting her own nose to the air. βI donβt smell anything.β
βOf course you donβt. Youβre a mousebrain covered in mud.β Swansong scoffed before slinking off into the underbrush.
Wildmane glared after Swansong, for a brief moment hoping whatever smelled of cat blood would give her sister a few good licks too. She grinned at the idea of having to save the pompous warrior and followed her into the undergrowth.
Where Swangsongβs paw prints fell so too did hers, they crept through the forest, quite as mice. After a few moments unfamiliar voices filtered through the trees and Swansong flicked her tail in warning to halt. Wildmane slid up to her sisters right flank and peered through the bushes.
Two thin, scarred she cats sat chitchatting to one another, up this close Wildmane could smell the faint scent of cat blood Swansong spoke of. Two loners trespassing on Leafclan territory smelling of blood?!
βIf we flank them on each side-β Swansong was cut off as a snarl tore free from Wildmane, her sister springing forward into the small clearing.
βYou! Trespassers!β Wildmaneβs thick neck fur stood on end like a bristling porcupine, her orange eyes gleaming as she bared her fangs at the intruders. βLeave now! Before I give you some more scars to decorate those flea-bitten hides.β She hissed, tail lashing.
Swansong crawled out of the bushes and valiantly resisted the urge to box Wildmaneβs ears. Instead she scanned over the two loners with a cold, assessing gaze.

( LightBringer Fallenleaves ) Sakura almost felt guilty about making this she-cat share her forgotten past. She forgot it for a reason obviously. Then, she jumped as another cat sprang into the clearing. Sakura hissed at herself for letting her guard down and forgetting she was on enemy territory. She back away from all three of the cats, just enough to feel a little bit comfortable, then she mewed, βWell, I guess we have some company.β She glanced at Nightbringer as she said it and the sat down. βDo you really think Iβm going to leave just because you threatened me?β she asked, turning back to the two new cats.

NightBringer turned, and dipped her head in greeting. Her mind wass till clouded from memories, and right now she had no intention of fighting. "Greetings, clan cats" She meowed, her voice steadier then she truly was. Noticing Sakura back away, she remembered that she was a loner, and probably not comfortable with these cats.
Stepping forward, she spoke once more. "I know I have crossed your borders. I mean no harm, and have not hunted either. I have traveled far, and am looking for a place to at least rest and recover. If possible, I'd like to speak to your leader, and plea my case" The tired out cat explained. she did not, however, mention finding Sakura here, as she was not trying to cause any trouble for the she cat. Sakura was the only one who knew her story, and, despite their rough beginning, she hoped maybe they could part ways on better terms

Swansong | 23 moons
[ Skilled & Self-assured & Arrogant ] {{ LightBringer (Nightbringer) & Robinbreeze (Sakura) // Near Forestβs edge }} Wildmane bristled some more at the first loners response but was clearly caught off guard by the secondβs. Her tall, black ears flattened in confusion and Swansong saw an opportunity to finally take hold of the situation.
Swansong swept forward, lifting her head proudly. βNightstar is out on patrol at the moment and Iβll not be bringing strangers into the camp to await her. If you follow willingly I can lead you to a spot you can rest till sheβs ready. Otherwise Iβll have to ask you to leave.β
Behind Swansong her sister growled lowly and pushed forward to avoid being blocked from sight. βYou speak like a clan cat stranger.β Wildmaneβs tail lashed and her eyeβs narrowed suspiciously. βWhy?β

NightBringer dipped her head in thanks. "I am NightBringer. It has been a long journey, and I will gladly follow your orders. " She replied to swansong quietly. Facing the bristling warrior beside the calmer one, she offered a wry smile. "I was raised in a clan of my own. I know your way of life, I miss it, in fact.. I will obey the warrior code to my last days, whether I am part of a clan or not" The black pelted female explained wearily.

( LightBringer Fallenleaves ) Sakura just watched the interaction in silence, confusion flooding her gaze as they talked. She has no interest in what they were talking about and hadnβt intended to be at the mercy of.. three cats? She continued to back up until she bumps into a tree, starting to panic as different scenes emptied into her mind. But she stayed in the clearing, not wanting these cats to think she couldnβt stand up for herself.

Swansong | 23 moons
[ Skilled & Self-assured & Arrogant ] {{ LightBringer (Nightbringer) & Robinbreeze (Sakura) // Near Forestβs edge }} Swansong didnβt much show her surprise at Nightbringerβs claim, her ears simply perking at the idea of a different clan. Wildmane however cocked her head, clearly intrigued.
Wildmane has always been an easy read and Swansong knew exactly what Wildmane would ask given the chance. Questions Swansong honestly did not want to hear.
Just as the smaller warrior opened her mouth Swansong spoke. βThen letβs be on our way.β Her bright eyes snapped to the second loner whoβd looked ready to bolt just a moment ago. βWhat about you?β

NightBringer murmured her appreciation, and turned to glance at Sakura. Her blue eyes searched the loners body language briefly... She doubted that the loner would join them. But, maybe she'd be surprised. Her paws ached from walking, and the exhaustion was starting to catch up with her slowly. All she wanted was to nap... Maybe a meal, if the warriors were kind enough to feed her though she knew better then to assume. the clan always came first, and she was a nobody to them.

( LightBringer Fallenleaves ) Sakura turned her gaze to each of the cats in turn. She calm her breath and replied, βI had come in search of a scuffle.. but I donβt know if I want one anymore.β She was nervous to see whether any one of them would attack her still, and her tense stance clearly signaled her unease. Sakura suddenly wanted nothing to do with these cats, but she she didnβt want them to think her cowardly, so she stayed and waited their response.

[ Skilled & Self-assured & Arrogant ] {{ LightBringer (Nightbringer) & Robinbreeze (Sakura) // Near Forestβs edge }} Swansong sighed, she didnβt really want to chase this cat all the way to the border though it was only a few tail lengths away. βTurn back the way you came and cross back over the border and weβll have no qualms.β She turned her back to them then, gesturing for Nightbringer to follow.
βIf youβre ever in the mood again just come on back and we can oblige you on that scuffle.β Wildmane laughed before turning to follow her sister.

NightBringer followed the clan cats closely, her tail starting to droop heavily. "Thank you. I appreciate your hospitality" She said to SwanSong and her companion. Blue eyes worked over the trees, and the she cat relaxed a little. This place reminded her of home. There was so much she missed... But being out in a territory with clan mates was her biggest thing. tears threatened to overwhelm her, and she shook her head hard, trying to clear her thoughts. she was so overwhelmed she didn't notice Sakura padding along inside the border, against the warriors orders.

Rainpaw | 7 Moons
[ Forgetful & Lighthearted & Playful ] {{ β₯ππ―π¬π°π±βπ¬π°π’β₯ // Outside camp, hunting }}
Rp>>> Rainpaw eyed his mentor. His loud footsteps and hiss had drawn the larger squirrel up the tree, exactly where the young apprentice was hiding. Rainpaw held his breath and crouch down silently. Digging his claws in the tree where he was hiding, he lunched and swiped at the perfect time, scoring a gash along the flank of the squirel, causing it to land in a puff of dirt on the ground. Jumping down quickly and quietly back on the ground, the young tom cat nipped it on its neck and began to bury it, letting a purr rip out of his chest.
Brindlebriar | 53 Moons
[ Sweet& lighthearted & Caring ] {{ β₯ππ―π¬π°π±βπ¬π°π’β₯ and everyone else // Nursery, kitting }}
Rp>>> The warm, sweet reassuring scent of her mate Thistletongue had filled the nursery, bringing a wave of emotion over the already emotional kitting queen. With a loud purr, she quickly licked Thistles cheek and he rested his head under hers. With Morningdew whispering sweet and reassuring things, she felt as she could now focus properly on getting the rest of the kits out. With one large push, a contraction shaking her whole body, making her want to yowl in pain. She whimpered as she felt a kit slide out. She didnt stop to lick the kit clean, dread filling her that is was just like the previous lifeless bundle. Instead, she left it to the assisting cats that were with her in the nursery. With a long deep sigh, she felt another contraction, nearly immeditly. Her body had not given her enough time to recover from the last one. With one final massive push, her belly rippling worse than the moonlit sea at night with a full moon, she let out a loud, painful yowl, filled with sorrow and pain. Her largest kit had finally been brought into clan life, and she was moments away from seeing if life had been brought into the kit. Letting her head fall heavily on Thistletongue, the warmth of her mate flooding her senses. Without a second thought, tears filled her eyes, trickling down on the her mates cheeks. "Moningdew, I think that was the last one..." She whispered, her voice cracking. "Does Starclan even know where our medicine cat is." She demanded, not allowing room for question.
Taloneye | 95 Moons
[ Stern & withdrawal & Quiet ] {{ β₯ππ―π¬π°π±βπ¬π°π’β₯ // Outside camp }}
Rp>>> Taloneye closed his eyes, letting the scent of Amerblaze overflow in his senses. With the touch of her chilly nose on his ear, a shiver crept up his spine, causing his mangled fur to stand on end. "It sounded like Brindlebrair was having a rather complicated time with her kits. What do you think will come of this?" He mewed, he was sure that one of all of her kits wouldn't make it. Something in the air of the camp seemed to be off, though he had never been able to pinpoint what was going on in the outskirts of the clan. "Amberblaze, if the other elders dont recognize your beauty, they're more blind than me. And I dont think that is even possible." He mewed, his vice cracking with purr.

Swansong | 23 moons
[ Skilled & Self-assured & Arrogant ] {{ LightBringer (Nightbringer), β₯ππ―π¬π°π±βπ¬π°π’β₯ (Flameheart), & little blu β₯ (Applenose) // Tall Spruce }} Swansong merely nodded in answer to Nightbringerβs thanks.
βGo find Nightstar.β She mewed with a flick of her tail towards Wildmane. βTell her weβll be waiting at the Tall Spruce.β
βOf course, oh great leader.β Wildmane muttered before trotting off into the woods. Swansong ignored the remark and pushed onward. She thought she heard her companion sniffle but chose to leave it be. She didnβt need to know what this cat was thinking to do her duty.
As they neared the Tall spruce, Swansong spotted a bit of ginger in the distance. βFlameheart.β She called in greeting, not wishing to startle the deputy. She finally stepped into the light of the clearing but frowned at the sight before her. βApplenose.β She dipped her head in greeting but pressed her ears flat in discomfort. Had she known the queen was here Swansong never would have brought the loner here. But what was done was done, between Flameheart and her harm would not come to the queen. She would make sure of it.
βIβve brought a loner who wishes to speak with Nightstar, forgive me I wasnβt aware you both were already here. We can wait by the stream.β With that Swansong guided Nightbringer to the water, sure the she-cat would need a drink after her journey.
