Ace >> Taiyou
Ace sat down with a huff, not wanting to come off as aggressive towards the tom she had run into. By this cats smell, he wasnt clan born, or living with the clan.. Or so she thought. The smell of rain was still heavy in the air, masking many different smells within the woods. "Sorry... I..." She trailed off, watching as lightning light up the sky again, followed by a loud crack of thunder. Shaking her soaked fur, water dropplets flying amongs the already falling rain.
Ace's belly rumbled, the smell of the toms mouse wafting into her nose, making her mouth water. She could fight him, but would she win? She dismissed the thought, knowing that violence never solved anything, but only made matters worse.
"Are you familiar with the Clan that lives here?" She decided to ask, hoping to deflate the situation.
Wolfspirit >> Demitraeus Dehlfvaen Mothdapple (Just letting you know, the gator that lives in the stream has attacked most of the cats in camp, killing a few. Its part of the prophecy going on right now)
>> Wolfspirit shuffled in his awkwardness."There are lots of other places to drink water from..." He mewed, irritation lacing his voice. "The death of our deputy and our leaders mother is not something that should be taken lightly. You should be more careful..." Wolfspirit was known for being kind of a standoff jerk, but the intensity he came off with towards the she-cat was a bit much. Shuffling his paws, he muttered an apology. |

((I am aware. The she-cat let out a loud sigh. "It's fine! This stream is right outside of camp... and I probably shouldn't go out far... especially in this weather. It's either get struck by lightning, get crushed by a falling tree limb, or attacked by a gator!," she responds. Starlingnose has been known to be quite reckless and careless, especially with her mischievous energy, so it's no surprise she is not as worried as she should be. "And it's fine, I understand your concern," she meows, looking up at the two toms. |

Morningdew- -
[30 Moons][Warrior][Molly]
Location - -Out in the forest.
With - -Waspstrike & Lightningstrike
- -[Robinbreeze & Brindlebriar ]
Silver and gray fur fluffed up against the rain. While some was slicked down, most of it had puffed up to warm her. Morningdew gave a shake and started to follow along the border, helping to mark it. Her eyes narrowed as she glanced every few heartbeats back to the dogs in the twoleg clearing. Most of the twolegs and their kits were hiding among the dens they brought along with them. The dogs didn't seem to mind the rain too much, almost seeming preoccupied with sniffing the air. It made her slightly anxious, worried that the large creatures would pick up the scent of the clan cats.
Once most of the border was marked, Morningdew slipped through the undergrowth and towards the sea. She was aware that in between the sea and twoleg clearing, there was a patch of the forest that wasn't Leafclans. This is where many of the rogues claimed their own territory. As well as part of the land in between the canyons and the twoleg clearing. She opened her maw to take in the scents around her. While she couldn't scent any rogues, the scent of the sea and wind hit her directly in the face.
"Well, It doesn't seem like anyone or anything will be out in this weather. Maybe we should head home.?"
 Applenose - -
[42 Moons][Queen][Molly]
Where. - -In Nursery.
With - -Brindlebriar
[Brindlebriar ] As soon as they reached the camp, Applenose was well aware of eyes following them to the nursery. She simply ignored them and slipped her way down the thorny bramble tunnel that led to the nursery. Water trickled into the tunnel and made its way into the cozy nursery. Flattening her ears slightly, she slipped to her den in the very back corner of the nursery and curled around her smallest kit, a little cream and white molly. Soon after, Littleripple set a little ginger and white tabby tom beside his sister. Finally, Brindlebriar set the last tom-kit next to his sisters other side. Licking each kit, Applenose couldn't help but linger on the biggest tom-kit. A ginger tabby with white markings. He looked almost identical to Flameheart.
Flicking her tail after the retreating Littleripple, she purred her appreciation to the orange molly. How exhausted she must be, just from helping her. She'd spent much of the day convincing her and walking her around. And then helping her to deliver and carry her kits back to camp. As Brindlebriar groomed her wet fur, she couldn't help but purr sleepily. She was exhausted herself. How wonderful it was to have so much help from her clanmates. Yet, her heart ached as she gazed lovingly at her three kits. They would never know how wonderful their father truly was.
Flicking her slightly fluffy tail, she swept them over her kits, one at a time. Starting with the tom on the end, the ginger and white tabby. "Firekit, for you will be like the blazing warmth of a flame, just as your father was."
Then she turned to the little cream and white molly, a mixture of her father and mother. "My sweet Lilykit. You will be the sweet side of your father. A gentle soul. I just know it."
Finally, she hesitated on the little tom that looked a lot like his father. Swallowing hard, her mind flashed with memories of Flameheart. From the moment they were kits, to the moment she said goodbye to him. "Tigerkit. For you will need the strength that your father had, to go through life."
Rushingkit- -
[1 Moons][Kit][Molly]
Location - -Nursery
With - - Family.
[z - Brindlebriar ]- - As mud splashed all over them, a squeal erupted from Rushingkit. Her bluish/gray coat was now brown and covered in mud. Standing on her hind legs, she threw herself back down and splashed in the mud puddles. Hopping around, between the three kits, mud and water were flying everywhere. Some on the food, some on the cats around them. One cat in particular, was the massive gray and brown tom, Icestorm. For a moment, Rushingkit was afraid the tom would yell at them, but then a burst of laughter exploded from the toms throat.
With another squeal, she hooked up a pawful of mud and threw it square at Icestorm's chest. Upon contact, excitement brimmed in her green eyes and she turned to Brightkit and Acornkit. "LETS GET HIM!"
Fennelhawk - -
[47 Moons][Warrior][Tom]
Where - -In Camp
With - - Rainpaw
[Brindlebriar ] - - The nursery, while located in the roots of one of the great oaks that circled the camp, wasn't greatly safe from the rain. A patch in the branches and leaves, caused rain to pour down along the bramble tunnel that had been created to keep the queens and their kits safe. Water was beginning to trickle into the worn out tunnel, and straight into the cave like den under the roots.
As the queens and Applenose's new kits pushed through the tunnel, Fennelhawk moved his way through the camp. A new bundle of bramble was clamped in his jaws as he trudged through the slightly muddy clearing. Ears flattened, he shook out the rain from his fur, only to be covered in more raindrops. Dropping his bundle, he stood up on his hind legs and reached for the top of the nursery tunnel.
Spotting Rainpaw as he padded up to his sister, he hardly gave the molly a chance to acknowledge him, before waving his short black striped tail at the little multi-colored apprenticed. "Hey, Rainpaw. Come over here and give me a paw. We need to weave more brambles into the nursery tunnel. Rain is getting into the tunnel and nursery."
Icestorm -
[29 Moons][Warrior][Tom]
Where - -In Camp
With - - Brightkit, Acornkit and Rushingkit.
[Brindlebriar ] While he had been relaxing in the clearing, a storm had broke out overhead. Sitting up, he twitched his ears every time a raindrop would slip through the branches and hit his head. Nearby a few of the kits were playing among the puddles in camp. Rainpaw and Fennelhawk worked on the nursery together. Walnutpaw and Bearswipe moved outside the dens as well as Sandpaw and Frostpaw. Even Nightstar was out in the stormy weather with Cobrastorm. It gave him hope to see the clan out and about.
Padding closer to the kits, he was splashed with water and mud as the three splashed around. Breaking out in laughter, he shook his head as Rushingkit's paw flung mud at him. Hitting him square in the chest, the tom crackled with more laughter. At her command, she demanded her denmates get him. Not giving them the chance, he moved quickly around them, before giving a mighty jump, splashing a massive amount of water and mud over the three.

 Nightstar - -
[32 Moons][Leader][Molly]
Where. - - Leaders Den
With - - Cobrastorm
- -[ Taiyou ] As she watched the group disappear into the nursery, her gaze was solemn. She finally shook her head and turned her gaze to where Frostpaw and Sandpaw sat together. Giving a gentle nudge to Cobrastorm, she flickered her black ears to the pair. While most of the time, competition strived between the two, it was clear there was a bond between them. "It seems our apprentices have grown quite fond of each other. I knew from the day they snuck out as kits and killed that rabbit, that they would grow together."
Leaning into the brown and white tabby beside her, she couldn't help but give a throaty purr. Her usually fluffy calico fur was slicked down now by the rain that trickled into camp. "They''ll be warriors soon. Part of me is relieved, another part of me is sad to see them grown so fast. Yet, I can't help but want to train one of Flameheart's kits. I imagine Myself, you and Lightfall training his little ones. Would you be up to that.?"
The thought of taking on another apprentice only a few moons after their own apprentices became warriors, seemed like a lot. Usually the leader only took apprentices of the deputies kits. It felt right to her, to take one of her previous deputies children under her wing. As well as her newest deputy and her trusted mate. Her mind wondered back to their currrent apprentices. With all the chaos, none of them had gone to the canyons with her. "We must make trips soon to take them to whispering canyon. It is required they come on that journey with me or the medicine cats, before they get their warrior names. Maybe we should take the trip tomorrow. What do you think.?"
Almondpaw- -
[11 Moons][Apprentice][Molly]
Where - -Training to fish.
With - - Twilightblaze.
[Taiyou ] Upon reaching the camp, Almondpaw looked scrawny with her fawn colored fur clinging to her body. She was soaked from ears to paws. Tail lashing, she shook herself out, amusement brimming in her eyes. Between the rain and swimming, she would never get dry. Dropping the fish on the pile, she kept one to eat, her stomach rumbling with hunger. Glancing at her mentor, she flicked her ears nervously. "You up to sharing.?" While it wasn't common for apprentices to eat with their mentors, it did happen at times. Hoping she wasn't overstepping, she dipped her head slightly. "I understand if you have other things you need to do."
Beside the leaders den, Nightstar sat with Cobrastorm. Many of the injured were out and about in the clearing. A first in nearly a week of the battle at Harmony stream. While Almondpaw had been left behind, she hoped the next battle, she would be apart of. She wanted to prove herself, like many of the other apprentices had a chance to do. Glancing from the calico leader, back to her tawny and black mentor, she suddenly thought of the Whispering Canyons. "I haven't been with Nightstar or Dewdrop on a journey to the canyons yet. Will I still get to be a warrior.? Or will Nightstar take us soon.?" |

Sweetberry--
[42 Moons][Warrior][Molly]
Where - - Medicine Cats Den.
With - - Skunkpaw.
[~Skyblaze~ ] - -
At the mention of the black and white molly's mother, Sweetberry simply shook her head. She ran her tail along Skunkpaw's spine, before speaking. Keeping her words careful and kind. "Now, you know your mother means well. She's a fretful molly, and always has been. She has so much love for you all. Though, she was quite the snippy little thing while you were unconcious. She wouldn't let your siblings or even your father near you." Almost as if she could read the young molly's mind, she glanced over at her with clear blue eyes. Giving a tiny smile, she spoke reassuringly. "You know your siblings adore you, right.? Your mother just gave them so much mouse-dung while you were injured. Especially Frostpaw. She doesn't blame her, but she didn't make her feel the greatest either. I'm sure that's why they have kept their distance."
As her apprentice kept going, her steps grow quicker and steadier. Her heart stopped for a moment as Skunkpaw insisted on learning something. A pleading tone entered her voice as she begged for anything, something to be taught to her. A flicker of doubt entered Sweetberry's gaze, as she met her apprentices blue eyes. After a long moment, a sigh escaped her maw. "Alright. Alright. Let me think for a moment. You have already learned so much. I can't risk you hurting your paw. Why don't we work on your tracking skills. First though. Let's see a hunters crouch. I want to see you try to sneak forwards. We will work on that, with just your three paws. Once you can do that with little sound and great balance, lets see if you can track prey and drive it to me."
Frostpaw - -
[9 Moons][Apprentice][Molly]
Location - -Apprentices Den.
With - - Sandpaw
[~Skyblaze~ ]- - At Sandpaw's teasing tone, Frostpaw burst into laughter at his words. Swiping his shoulder with her paws, she glared at him playfully. "You are such a fox-heart." Though she said the words with a growl, a joking tone was in her voice and her eyes lit up with laughter and joy. "Frostybones.? Really.? Of all the names.?" Curiosity suddenly filled her at the thought of her name past her apprenticeship. Turning her wide blue eyes on Sandpaw, she wondered what name he would receive. "What do you think our warrior names could be.? I bet mine will be something to do with my fur. Like Frostnight or Frostdusk or something."
She glanced over at where their mentors sat side by side. From her positon, she could see their bushy tails tangled up together. Nudging Sandpaw, she gave a twitch of her ears towards them. "Do you think that Cobrastorm and Nightstar became mates already.? Starclan knows the entire clan has been waiting for that moment to happen. I swear Morningdew has predicted that since before I was born." After a moment of watching the two, she couldn't help but feel the pull towards the sandy tom beside her. Would they be that way one day.? Could they put aside their need to be the greatest hunters in the clan, and become great together.?
 Snowpaw -
[9 Moons][Apprentice][Molly]
Where. - - In Camp.
With - - Lightfall.
[~Skyblaze~ ]
As she neared the end of the warriors den, making the nests in the back of the den, Lightfall padded in. Her praise gave the snow white molly warmth and she purred softly. She'd put extra feathers to the deputies nest to make it even warmer and softer. Before the molly even finished her sentence to tell her to wake her up, she was sound asleep. Giving a soft shake of her head, the apprentice finished the warriors den, before working to the apprentices den. Dragging piles of moss out, she carried each bundle out of camp, before bringing in clean and fresh moss from the forest. She'd gathered up the last of the dry moss and spready it evenly around the apprentices den. Each nest plump and cozy.
After being satisfied with the nests, she gave a happy purr and headed out of the apprentices den again. She'd avoided the elders den and nursery, knowing very well both dens were crowded. After all, they had been cleaned out, not that many sunrises ago. She made a not to look in on the queens and elders as soon as the storm ended. With a soft sigh, she stretched out in a corner of the camp where the rain couldn't reach her. Head resting on her paws, she waited patiently for the thunderstorm to pass or for her mentor to wake. While Lightfall had insisted she wake her, Snowpaw would let her sleep. She couldn't imagine waking the exhausted deputy up after days of hardly sleeping.

Lightningstrike >> ♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥ Robinbreeze
>> Lightningstrike watched as Morningdew marked the borders with precision, making him self conscious of the job he was doing. He was very good at doing the bare minimum to get by, and this instance was not any better. The rain soaking his pelt made the irritation burn inside him. He would give anything to be back in his nest right now, but warrior duties called. Glaring into the two-leg place, he watched the dogs. They were big, and their jowls dripped with drool as they pranced around in the rain, nearly tripping over their large paws. Shivering with the thought of them catching a wiff of them, he was glad the two other cats decided to walk away.
"I think going that way would be good. There is no way any cats are out right now in this weather." He mewed, shaking his wet fur.
(Do you want them to run into Ace and Russet?? That would be fun)
___________
Rainpaw >> ♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥
>> Rainpaw was just about to sit down when Fennelhawk called his name, asking him to help patch the nursery's tunnel. With the intense rain and constant dripping of water, it wasn't any surprise that some of the camp would need some touch ups. Sighing in his tiredness, the little tom trotted over to where Fennel was up on his hind legs, batting the brambles into place. "Sure thing." He mewed, trying to make his voice happy. The little tom was still beating himself up over being dismissed from his mentor so soon in the middle of their training without warning. Did he do something wrong? Would this keep him from being a warrior? Did he make some mistake that was to great for Scorchstreak to explain? Lost in thought, Rainpaw stared at Fennel with large, thoughtful eyes.
"Oh, I' m sorry. I've had a day.." He muttered. Grabbing some of the bush in his mouth and climbing on his hind paws to reach where Fennel was tucking and weaving little pieces of sticks and leaves in, the little apprentice did his best to help, not wanting to disappoint yet another warrior. "Do we need another bramble bush?" He asked, looking at their patch work. There were still a few holes here and there where water wasn't dripping in yet, but those would need attention soon, and since they were here they may as well fix it.
___________
Brindlebriar >> ♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥
>> Brindlebriar paused in her drying of Applenose to give the queen the headspace to name the kits. A solemn thing to do in the life of a Queen, so Brindle understood the importance of having a clear mind to do so. Blinking softly as the names seemed to so easily roll off Applenose's tongue, her heart stopped as she gazed at the little kit who looked exactly like his father, Flameheart. Letting a purr rip out of her throat as the last kit was named, Brindle bent down to lick the little ones. "Welcome to the clan." She whispered, lowering her head in respect. The kits were going to grow up knowing the love of their clan and the undying care of their mother, but her heart ached for another bunch of kits who had to grow up in Leafclan without a father. She was lucky to have Thistletongue help with Brightkit, but she knew all to well the ache of loss that rang in Applenose's heart. Although she had not lost her mate, the loss of two kits is hard enough. "Those are beautiful names Applenose." She mewed softly, touching noses with the Queen. "Would you like anything to eat now that you have the chance to rest, or would you like some alone time?" She offered, not wanting to overwhelm the queen with her presence.
Brightkit was still out and about with the other kits in the clearing, playing around in the mud, so she still had some free time on her paws before she needed to tent to the cleaning of her mud covered kit.
__________
Brightkit >> ♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥ (replying to Icestorm and Rushingkit)
>> Brightkit tilted her head back and let out a loud belly laugh as rushingkit slammed Icestorm with a ball of wet mud. Thankful that the warrior retaliated in laughter rather than irritation, Brightkit took off, her little white tail high up in the air. She decided to try to hide from the warrior, but as he flung himself into the large puddle, sending a wave of dirt her way, she jumped. Surprise filling her eyes, she fell onto her side, rolling over to the warrior. Batting his legs with her smaller paws, she let out a playful hiss. "Get him Acornkit!" She called, her eyes wide.
_______
Acornkit >> ♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥ (replying to Rushingkit, Brightkit, and Icestorm)
>> Acornkit watched Icestorm, frozen to the spot in worry that the warrior would scold them for being too careless. Caught off guard with his laughter, Acornkit ran over to his sister, batting her ear before she called another attack on the large warrior. Her hind end was facing the large warrior, so when he jumped into the puddle of mud, his flank was suddenly covered in muck. Flattening his ears and spinning around, he laughed, the toms reaction sending him into orbit. "No way!" He squeaked, darting over to icestorms side with Brightkit. Acornkit took a little white paw and splashed into the mud, sending more dirty water flying. |

Scorchstreak- -
[47 Moons][Warrior][Tom]
Where - -Training.
With - - Swansong
[ & Fallenleaves ] At the turn of the white molly and a sweep of her tail, he met her gaze steadily. His gaze was soft, warm almost as she unraveled her anger upon him. While he was no way phased by her outburst, he couldn't help but hold a certain kind of warrior for the younger molly. He'd been watching her from the moment she'd become a warrior. From the moment she'd been an apprentice, he'd wanted her to be great, knowing she could triumph as a warrior, be one of the best. Yet, lately, she'd lashed out at her siblings, avoided her clanmates, neglected her duties to her clan.
Giving a snort, he lashed his thick russet and black stripped tail, orange eyes narrowing. Pushing his nose to Swansongs, he flattened his ears slightly. A low growl rumbled in his throat. While he had learned kindness over the moons of life, he was known for his sharp tongue when it came to confronting others. "I don't know what's going on with you, Swansong. But this is not the warrior I trained. You have neglected your duties as a warrior. Avoided the clan at all costs. For Starclan's sake. What about your siblings.? I know that Doeleap is gone, but pushing the only two you have left away, isn't going to bring her back. You know your sister would be shaking her head at you right now. I've seen the way you've lashed out at Wildmane. What is with that.?"
If anyone else would have been walking by in that moment, all they would see was bristling fur, flattened ears and blazing eyes. Tails lashed and teeth bared at each other. In that very moment, kindness was not coming from Scorchstreak. He had been trying kindness with the white molly since her sister died. Now, he felt the only way to get through her thick skull, was to lash out at her, as she was doing to everyone else.
Walnutpaw - -
[11 Moons][Apprentice][Tom]
Location - -Warriors Den
With - - Bearswipe.
[Fallenleaves ]- - The brown somali followed after his mentor, keeping his pawsteps light and small, as to stay behind him. While he was still smaller than Bearswipe, his legs were longer and his body was growing in size. He kept his maw shut as Pinecrest told Bearswipe to be careful, only getting a quick response from the brown tom as he pushed out of camp. Flashing a look at the the brown tabby as he passed, he hurried out of camp.
Once they were out of the camp, his light orange eyes met Bearswipe's hazel ones. Giving his mentor a dip of his head, a reassuring flick of his ears, that he was right behind him. Moving forwards, he took place beside Bearswipe, keeping a mouse-length between him. While he wished to help the brown tom, he knew that the warrior was very capable of carrying himself, even if he only had three legs to use.
"So, were do you want to go.? We could go towards the farmhouse. Or the sea. I always like watching the waves from the storms. It's super windy. We could stay in the tree line and see the water from there." While the young tom didn't mind getting wet, he wasn't so sure that Bearswipe felt the same as him about rain soaking his fur.
 Pecanpaw- -
[11 Moons][Medicine cat Apprentice][Tom]
Where. - - In Leaders Den.
With - - Dewdrop
[Fallenleaves ] At her answer, an understanding nod came from the russet hued brown somali. He put his tail over Dewdrop's shoulders. He could almost feel the defeat and fear that came off her in waves, While finding out she was baring the kits of a non-clan kit was hard, confessing to the sin was even harder. Yet, the apprentice knew that this wasn't even the hardest part. Standing in front of Nightstar, having the clan find out, was the step that would strike the medicine cat the most. While Nightstar wouldn't turn her away, he knew there would be punishment. But what that punishment was, is what scared the apprentice.
After a long moment of thinking, Pecanpaw finally gave a dip of his head. This was it. The time was here. They must tell Nightstar. Getting to his delicate brown paws, he tugged on the pale gold molly with his tail, urging her towards the den entrance. "Come, Dewdrop. We will go to Nightstar. We will speak to her privately. I will be there with you. There is no use in hiding this any longer. It is best to move forwards." His hazel eyes were warm, but sad. He only hoped that Nightstar wouldn't punish her too greatly. After all, this was his mentor, and he still needed her. Was it such a bad thing that she broke the code.? Couldn't they just brush it away, just this once.?
Sunflowerpaw- -
[10 Moons][Apprentice][Molly]
Where - -Fishing.
With - - Wildmane.
[Fallenleaves ] For a moment, her mentor watched her with a steady gaze. Avoiding the black molly's eyes, she stared straight ahead. Shame washed over her for a moment for having a weak moment and feeling so badly about her brother. While she was proud of him, it shamed her to be less than him. How could anyone be proud of her, look to her, appreciate her, when her brother had so many skills.
As a tail swept up to touch her, surprise ran through Sunflowerpaw. Turning her face to finally look at her mentor, she couldn't help but feel a slight warmth as their fur brushed and the warrior bumped into her flank. Walking side by side with Wildmane, she dipped her head in a kind gesture. "Thank you for training with me, Wildmane. I know somedays it must be hard to be out and about." While she was mainly referring to the loss of Doeleap, she also knew it was exhausting to train the apprentices at the moment. They'd all been so busy with patrols to train since the battle. To have a moment with her mentor, was a blessing and a distraction from all the horrible darkness that had fallen over the clan in the last few moons.

Speckledflame- -
[82 Moons][Warrior/Elder][Molly]
Where - -Back at camp.
With - - Runningfire
[ Mothdapple ] As the brown somali complimented her, warmth flooded over the white and orange speckled molly. Her eyes glowed with love, a light flickering in the orange depths. Leaning against her mate, she let out a sad sigh. "To think that we have aged so much. It feels like yesterday that we were still apprentices. All the trouble we use to get into." For a moment, she grew silent. While life had grown harder by the day, she couldn't truly believe the thoughts that often crossed her mind lately. She thought of Jadepaw, needing a mentor. Yet, she had grown exhausted and frail, even more so since the loss of her son and sister. "I keep thinking about asking Nightstar to retire. And giving Jadepaw off to someone else. I've grown so tired. Life seems harder since Flameheart and Amberblaze passed. I never thought I'd lose my son and sister in the same day. I've just grown weary and tired. Training Jadepaw has become more exhausting. I don't know how much of a warriors life, I have left in me."
Grooming the elders fur as she ate and spoke in between bites, the brown tabby simply murmured his agreements. As Littleripple entered, he gave the orange molly a gentle touch of greeting, before returning to his grooming of Brindlewing's tortoiseshell fur. "Honestly, It feels like we'll never be able to get rid of that awful creature. We failed in chasing it away. Lost Flameheart in the process. I wonder what Nightstar plans to do next." His green eyes grew thoughtful as he sat beside the elderly molly. After the battle, and explaining the big green scaly creature to the elders, they'd passed on the word, alligator. While it was a strange word to the clan cats, they took on the word. The creature was an alligator, having strayed into the stream after getting lost in the sea. It seemed to be something that happened after so many years. "I heard that a gator has come to Leafclan land before. Do you know if that's true.? And how did the clan get rid of it.? Or did it leave on its own before leaf-bare.?" |

re-upload for: Vixentail let out a mrrow of amusement. “And While we are on our way there, we can collect the prey that I caught.” She mewed. “Come on!” She mewed walking through the bushes, being carefull not to step on any dead leaves. Thank starclan i even caught anything. She thought, remembering the mouse she had missed. Lionclaw:
-hunting-open to any rps-
(In desperate need of someone to rp with lol) walked out of the warriors den from a long nap. Stretching, she padded out into the clearing and was walking torwards the camp entrance. I’ll just go for a walk. And maybe hunt for a bit. She thought to herself as she padded throught the forest. Lifting her head she drinked in the scents of the forest. I could really use a shrew. She thought hungrily. |

Morningdew- -
[30 Moons][Warrior][Molly]
Location - -Out in the forest.
With - -Waspstrike & Lightningstrike
- -[Robinbreeze & Brindlebriar ]
(Will wait for Robin to reply before I respond. I'm okay with them running into Russet and Ace. If that is what Robin wants.)
Applenose - -
[42 Moons][Queen][Molly]
Where. - -In Nursery.
With - -Brindlebriar
[Brindlebriar ] As the calico molly greeted her three kits into the clan, Applenose felt a purr rumble in her chest. She touched her nose to Brindlebriar's nose as a signal of appreciation. Dipping her head, she nosed each of her kits, heart ready to explode from the love that filled it. "Thank you, Brindle. I bet Flameheart would love them." For a moment, she grew lost in thought as she imagined the orange and white tom beside her, boasting about the three kits and how they would be the greatest warriors that Leafclan has ever seen. She hardly heard the other queens offer for fresh-kill.
"Oh, Brindlebriar. I am truly starving. I would love a nice plump vole, if there is any." She hadn't been hungry for days, yet as she spoke, her leafy green eyes never left the little bodies that suckled at her belly. Her fluffy tail was now draped over them, so only their heads were visible. Keeping them warm and cozy was her only priority. "Those kits out in that clearing are going to be trouble. I swear Rushingkit and Acornkit believe they are siblings to Brightkit. After all, you nursed them for the first half moon of their life. They look to you and Thistletongue. And you queens have quite the mess to clean off them. Give them a dip in the water. They'll regret ever getting muddy."
Rushingkit- -
[1 Moons][Kit][Molly]
Location - -Nursery
With - - Family.
[z - Brindlebriar ]- - As Acornkit and Brightkit launched themselves at the now muddy and wet warrior, Rushingkit dove at his paws as well, nipping his ankles. She gave a squeal of delight as he shoved her through the puddle, sending her rolling in the muddy water. Jumping to her paws, she hopped at his leg again. "Again! Again!"
At the mention of attacking Brindlebriar and getting her just as dirty as the rest of them, Rushingkit hurried after the group and settled behind Icestorm. They hid perfectly among his long and muddy fur. Green eyes peered from behind him, looking out for the queen that had helped feed her and her brother for most of their lives.
Fennelhawk - -
[47 Moons][Warrior][Tom]
Where - -In Camp
With - - Rainpaw
[Brindlebriar ] - - Tucking and weaving the brambles and branches into the tunnel, they slowly made progress, Glancing at the slightly distracted apprentice, the brown tom squinted his eyes at the multi-colored tom. "What's on your mind, Rainpaw.? Why are you having a day.?" While he had seen the apprentice go out with Scorchstreak, the apprentice had returned without his mentor. Giving a soft sigh, he supposed the apprentice felt some disappointment that his mentor had sent him home in the rain. Yet, he kept his maw shut until the apprentice choose to answer him, if he decided to.
Blinking his eyes as water droplets dripped down his face, he shook his head. His body was soaked and chilly from the rain, now pouring around the camp. The trees that usually guarded them, weren't doing the greatest at keeping the water out in this storm. Noticing they were out of brambles, and there were still holes in the tunnel, he opened his mouth to speak. Rainpaw beat him to it, before he could say a word. Closing his maw, he nodded his head, amusement in his eyes. "Yes, we do need more bramble. Why don't you show me where some good bramble is that we can bring back. Then you can help me with the finishing touches. I bet Scorchstreak will be proud of your hard work. And after we are done, we can get something to eat."
Icestorm -
[29 Moons][Warrior][Tom]
Where - -In Camp
With - - Brightkit, Acornkit and Rushingkit.
[Brindlebriar ] As the three kits came at him, the large tom let out a rusty purr. As he flung Rushingkit through the water, he worried for a moment that he had hurt her. But within heartbeats, she was clinging to his leg and begging to be shoved again. With a quick move of his paw, he sent the little blue/gray molly through the water. Her body was caked in mud from head to toe, the only thing visible were her green eyes.
As Acornkit splashed water at him, he smacked his bushy tail under the little gray and white toms paws. Swiping his paws out from under him, he sent him on his side, before splashing a wave of water over his side. Laughter glimmered in his blue eyes.
Finally, he turned to the little molly beside him, who swiped at his paw. Grabbing a pawful of mud, he smeared it over her body, before laughing. "Your mother is going to give me a scolding for letting you get so dirty. Let alone encouraging you to play in the mud. " Pulling the kits close to him, he hid them behind his large white and brown body. His eyes narrowed as he crouched by the fresh-kill pile and waited for Brindlebriar to reappear. After all, she should be coming to usher the three into the nursery by now. "Now. Here's the plan. When Brindlebriar walks around the fresh-kill pile, all four of us give a mighty jump. Splash water and mud all over her. Then tackle her as one, knock her off her paws!" |

Brindlebriar >> ♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥
"A nicee plump vole, coming right up!" She laughed, getting to her paws. With how many queens and new kits there were in the nursery, there was no room for an adult cat to stretch in there. Brindles limbs were aching from her day of work, but she would never complain about it one bit. She was happy that Applenose seemed to be on the rise from her sadness, the kits were out playing, the laughter of warriors echoed off the camps walls, and her leader seemed like she was doing better too. "Flameheart is very proud of you, and I know his love for the kits will fill your heart through Starclan." She murmured softly.
Before poking her head out of the tunnel, she twitched her ears back as Applenose commented on the kits playing in the mud. She had some how missed that they were playing in the puddles, and the thought of cleaning three kits made her paws heavy with tiredness. Laughing softly, she lowered her head. "Kits will be kits." she laughed before padding out to the fresh kill pile.
Trotting out of the camp, little paw prints in the mud decorated the dusty camps floor. Icestorm sat rod straight near the fresh kill pile, a mischievous glimmer in his eye. Watching him as Brindlebriar got closer, her head low as she watched him. The kits were no where to be seen, but little giggles and hushes from the three came from near by. Smiling, she bent down and sniffed out a large vole in the fresh kill pile. Careful not trigger the kits that she was onto them, she turned around, pretending to be unaware of their plan. "Icestorm." She mewed, dipping her head as she came around the side of the fresh kill pile. As she turned away, her flank now facing the group of hidden kits, Rushingkits loud squeal filled camp. Turning around, the queen had no time to react. The four cats had flung themselves with such force into the mud puddle by the queens feet, the Brindlebriar and the vole she was carrying was now covered in mud, her eyes being the only clean thing on her body. Letting out a playful squeal, the queen fell over, her belly exposed. "Agh! You got me!" She yelped, peeking out of an eye to see the kits pummel her soft squishy belly.
_______
Rainpaw >> ♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥
Rainpaw lowered his head. He didn't mean to make his emotions so known, and for Fennelhawk to notice to easily meant that Rainpaws little facial expressions had been pretty loud. "I was out with Scorchstreak, he was letting me show him around the borders, but when we got by the two-leg place, he sent me back home all of a sudden. I don't know what I did wrong..." The little brown and white tom mewed, his voice soft and sad. "I don't know if I chose the wrong path and failed the test he gave or if I angered him by asking too many questions." Rainpaw was a soft soul, even a hard glance could knock him off his happy cloud.
The little apprentice perked up at Fennels offer for Rain to show him where the good brambles are, a chance to prove to Scorchstreak that he was here and being useful. Determined, Rainpaw jumped, his tail high. "I'll show you the best Brambles you've ever seen!" He mewed confidently. "Follow me!" He squeaked.
_____________
Acornkit >> ♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥
Acornkit laughed and jumped to his paws, hiding behind the large fluffy warrior. Stifling a giggle as the paw steps of Brindlebriar neared the little group, Rushingkits loud hush rang in his ears. Flattening his mud covered ears, Acornkit waited for the perfect moment.
Brindlebriar mewed greetings to Icestorm as she turned away, seeiming unaware of what was to come. On the warriors command, Acornkit flung his little body into the mud, sending drops of brown muck flying, pelting the queens pelt with such force. Laughing loudly, the little kit rolled in the mud, his paws up in the air.
____
Brightkit >> ♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥
Brightkit hid with Acornkit and Rushingkit behind Icestorm, the large warrior. His fur was matted down with wet mud, his eyes gleaming. She was half his size, so hiding behind him was easy still. She hated her size most of the time. None of the other kits would really play with her because she was the size of an apprentice already, but that didn't stop her from having fun. On rushingkits command, Brightkit jumped right in front of her mother, the puddle of mud sparying up in both of their faces. Laughing, Brightkit watched as her mother fell onto her back, admitting defeat. She yowled as the jumped onto her mothers belly, battering her squish.

@reedstar | ♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥Darkfern padded after Vixentail, doing his best to keep his heavy pawsteps quiet. Despite his best efforts, one of his forepaws snapped a brittle twig; a startled crow took flight, its sharp beak gaped in a loud warning cry. Moving surprisingly swiftly for a cat of his bulk, Darkfern pushed up with his hind legs, launching himself into the air. His outstretched forepaw collided with the crow, and he sank his claws into it, twisting in midair so he'd land on his paws. Once on the ground, he killed the bird with a strong bite to the head. The crow was skinny, and probably quite old, but it was edible prey nonetheless. A hoarse purr rumbled in Brindlewing's throat as she relaxed into Thistletongue's touch. "When I was an apprentice, barely out of the nursery," she began, "there was indeed an alligator in LeafClan territory." She took another bite of her meal, then went on, "It killed many a cat, my brother, Firepaw, included. It was terrible." For a few moments, sadness clouded her orange eyes. Then, as Thistletongue's tongue moved over her ear, she snapped back to reality. "Our deputy at the time was a crafty young thing. He stuffed a few fish with some kind of toxic plant -- I didn't know what it was then, and I don't know now, unfortunately -- and dumped them into the water. A few days later, he and a few others found the beast dead, frothing at the mouth like a rabid badger, or so he said." She returned to her meal, enjoying itand the grooming; in her old age, she couldn't reach every spot. |

Vixentail watched darkfern in awe, and padded forward “nice catch!” She mewed happily. “Let’s go back to camp” she mewed and padded torwards the the two mice she had collected. Walking back to camp with darkfern, camp seemed to get closer and closer. “Hunting with you was really fun” she mewed before they entered camp. “...we should hunt again sometime..” she mewed shyly as she glanced up at darkfern.

///Reply to Wolfspirit Brindlebriar and Starlingnose Mothdapple || Harmony Stream///
Earthclaw let out a low growl from the back of his throat, scurrying down the tree. "At times like these," he hissed, tail lashing, "We cannot afford to be a divided clan." He glared back and forth from Starlingnose to Wolfspirit, perching on a rock and directing his gaze to the stream. "The only way that we will get through this is together. We have to have each others backs, and work together to accomplish our goals. If you need to take a drink, have someone keep watch." He turned deliberately and focused his attention on the rippling water.

Skunkpaw / Apprentice / Forest / Sweetberry (♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥)Skunkpaw relaxed visibly and nodded slowly at Sweetberry's words. It seemed logical enough. If she was going to do any training at all while she recovered, she first had to master three-legged movement. Slowly and gingerly, the striped black and white molly sank into a crouch. At first, she tried to hold the position, but as her weight was brought lower to the ground, the lack of balance became even more pronounced, and the remaining three paws didn't have the strength to hold the crouch. She stumbled and fell. Shaking out her fur, she stood up once more and took a deep breath. Then, she tried again. She tried going even slower this time, and a grimace set on her face from the effort of concentration as she put everything into her balance. Her legs shook from the slow descent, but she finally managed a half-crouch this time, holding the position. It wasn't a full crouch, but it was a start. "It's not enough..." Skunkpaw muttered distastefully as she straightened up once more. "I can do better." Vaguely, she wondered why she was trying so hard. After Doeleap's death, she had decided there was no point in training. Yet, now, after everything, she couldn't help the hunger to move on that bubbled inside of her. And it all started with a simple hunter's crouch. Sandpaw / Apprentice / Camp / Frostpaw (♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥)Sandpaw had thought about his warrior name since he'd learned how to walk. As his training had progressed, it had become a regular thought plaguing him, and he had obsessed over the various options, and what he thought Nightstar would give him. At first, he'd worried that he'd be given something silly, but he knew his mentor wouldn't do that to him. "I don't know." He finally responded truthfully. "I've thought a lot about my warrior name, but I guess Nightstar will know better than me. She's been naming warriors a long time." He added with a purr of amusement. As he looked at Frostpaw, he pondered what kind of a name he thought fit her. Frostrunner? Frostraven? Hmm, definitely something black. It fit her sleek, black pelt...Just what was he doing admiring her like this? He turned away to hide the embarassment, looking back only when she mentioned their mentors, and his eyes widened in mild surprise. "It's about time. StarClan knows it took long enough." He mewed with a purr. "I wonder if they're going to have kits. They could be our apprentices!" He pointed out, fur rising slightly in excitement at the thought of being a mentor to his leader's kit, training them and showing them the ways of LeafClan. Of course, the sandy tom still had a good number of moons left in his own apprenticeship, but he decided to ignore that fact for now.

Sorry for the late reply been busy with family stuff. Might be going to a funeral soon and on top of that my laptop broke.  ) Shade - Sakura’s den - Sakura , angel and crimson Shade thought for a moment before replying. “I think we should leave them alone for now, until we get our numbers up. It wouldn’t be a pretty sight for us to be slain with only four against their many, you have to rationalize this. And besides they’re going to be wary of us because we attacked last time, they may increase numbers in their patrols.” He took a breath before continuing . “And besides your only now healed up.” He nudged her sweetly. Angel - sakuras den - with the others Angel watched Sakura and shade from the darkness of the den. Her eyes were questioning, and she seemed to be deep in thought . Her brother was sleeping beside him and she wanted to share her thoughts with someone. She stayed silent , not wanting to wake him. The ginger and white shecat huffed, puffing out her fur to warm herself up more as she wrapped her tail around her paws . |

(I’m fine with them running into Russet and Ace.) Waspstrike - Forest - Morningdew, Lightningstrike (♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥, Fallenleaves)Waspstrike eyed the undergrowth around them as he marked the border. He wanted to agree with both Morningdew and Lightningstrike, but he was sure some cats would still be trying to hunt. As they padded along to border, he couldn’t help but stop and check the air for scents even though not many could be detectable among the rain. “We could head back, but I’d like to get a bit more markers down before. The rogues might take the rain as an advantage.” While he knew the markers would probably just wash away, he didn’t want to go back to camp with that idea. “If we don’t find anything within a few tree-lengths from here, we’ll head back.” He threw down another scent marker and padded onward. Sakura - Her Den - Shade, Angel (nimble)Sakura sighed, knowing that was what he would say. Of course they would add to their patrols, but it didn’t stop Sakura from thinking of ways they could overpower them. At his next comment, she grinned. His concern for her was sweet, but she wasn’t sure how to take it. “I’m fine,” she mewed. “I can handle a couple scratches from those clan cats.” She flicked her tail over her ear as she stood up. Her gaze flickered to her den, noticing Angel in the shadows. She motioned for the ginger and white she-cat to join them. Cinderblaze - Forest - Sharppaw (Fallenleaves)Cinderblaze padded up to her apprentice, grinning at his kills as she set down her prey. “Nice job, Sharppaw. That rabbit looks delicious; I’m sure the elders or queens would enjoy that.” She could tell he was disappointed, so she didn’t want to put him down. Instead, she turned her head toward the sky as it began to rain. Of course it wouldn’t wait until they were back at camp. Shaking her fur out, she sighed. “We should head back now. Don’t want to catch a chill.” Cinderblaze bent to pick up her prey and took the lead back toward the shelter of the forest. |

Wolfsirit >> Demitraeus Dehlfvaen @cottenfur
Wolfspirit frowned as Earthstirke came for his neck. The tom was right, their clan had already been though enough the past two moons, and attacking each other would only make things worse. Wolfspirit wasn't good at being "friends" with his clan mates, he was more of a silent protector that kept his distance. Things were hard for him now that his clan was needing companionship and fellowship more than ever but he would work on that, or at lest he would try. As Earthclaw jumped out of the tree and stared angerly out at the streams churning waters, he sighed and got to his paws. "Earthclaws right. Starclan has to have some sort of plan for us, right?" He mewed, opening the air for any concerns the two might have. |

Swansong didn’t even flinch as the tom surged into her space, his breath spilling across her face as he snarled. Instead she bared her teeth in return, even as that hollow hole in her only gaped wider. Where was her anger? Burning red and hot? Why was there only a ringing in her ears, instead of the thunder of her rushing blood?
“Good!” She snarled back, tail lashing to match. “Let her sit up their in judgment over me! Let her think she knows what’s best! Just like you. Thinking you can tell me what to do!”
With a disgusted spat Swansong’s tail lifted straight up like she was ready for a fight. The feathery wisp of it trembled in the breeze, like a white flag raised high in the air. “This is my life and if I don’t want to throw it away like the rest of you maniacs then I won’t.
The image of Bearswipe trembling through the pain as his bone was set, the crumpled and unresponsive Wildmane, it all flashed behind her eyes. The imagined one of Doeleap trapped between powerful jaws...
A tremor had started along her spine, the spasms traveling down her legs and up that wispy tail. A catch in her throat had Swansong stiffening, her orange eyes widening.
Again she opened her jaws to retort something but only a strangled sound escaped.
In the moment that she tried to gather herself is when it all came apart. Everything seized at once, her body stiffening like forgotten roadkill. Involuntary her head rose like she was staring up up at the sky but in truth her vision was swimming with darkness, the world beyond lost under black waves.
What came after was all a blur. The barking pain of sharp stones slamming into her side, or her slamming into them, did little to rouse her from the muffled nightmare she found in her mind. The sound of the same stones clattering and sent flying as she thrashed, dull throbs and sharp tears ringing out into darkness, into the void within. The sound of a distant voice, a yowl, a snarl, a whimper. Was that her voice?
It was many moments later when her eyes finally cracked open, her mind rising out of the dark waters and into the world again. A raining, bleak, washed out world.
Even once more aware of her surroundings, Swansong felt like she was looking through a tunnel. Occasionally one that spun and sent everything blurring together.
A feeble cry escaped her maw unwittingly as she weakly scrambled for footing on the muddy ground she’d wallowed out. Her pure white coat, stained almost black with the wet, dark earth.
What was happening?! She thought to herself. The panic coursing through her just as icy as the droplets raining down onto her pelt.
Another whimper worked its way up her throat, the sound so foreign it startled her into stillness. A pause that her exhaustion pounced on, slamming into her and weighing her head down.
“Help.” She softly cried, sounding more of a lost kit than she ever had in her kithood. Emotion and exhaustion were working together to knot her throat, the next sounds only her gasps as she tried to breathe.
———
Bearswipe listened to his former apprentice’s suggestions and smiled weakly. “I’d like to look at the waves too.” Glancing over he flicked his ear in silent thanks before limping off towards the water, his nose already picking up the salty scent blown on by the rough winds overhead.
All around trees creaked quietly and groaned, their leaves furiously whispering in the gusts. The sounds all filling the silence Bearswipe left alone, unable to find it in him to chit chat anymore.
Once they were closer to their destination, the dark green shadows between the tree trunks giving way to watery grey light, Bearswipe spoke up again. “Sorry I’m not the best walking companion at the moment.” As soon as the words left his maw, another thought sprang to mind. Didn’t Walnutpaw have apprentice friends he could be spending time with?
The large earthy colored tom glanced over at his companion once more. His hazel gaze finding the warm amber of Walnutpaw’s.
———
Dewdrop flinched a bit as her apprentice settled his tail over her shoulders but forced herself to remain where she was. There was no running from this anymore.
As Pecanpaw spoke Dewdrop simply stared at the smooth earthen floor of their den. A floor worn and packed by the paws of so many Medicine cats before her. Would this be the last time she would call this place her own?
Hot shame crawled across her pelt like ants but when Pecanpaw was finished she forced herself to stand and lead the way out of the den. Ignoring any and all who stood between her and the leaders den, even her own leader.
Halting beside the entrance she waited for Pecanpaw to talk with Nightstar, her gaze locked on the dim shadows leading into the hole. She wasn’t even sure she’d be able to look her leader in the eyes. After all the faith the dark she cat had in her...
Anger curled hot and heavy in her gut. She had always followed her heart, caring for the injured and cultivating a comforting aura. She’d done it all out of love but now... now she was the enemy simply for doing the same for Snake? Maybe a bit more love than before but...
———
Wildmane huffed a sharp, barking laugh around her mouth full. Her eyes tracking along the shore as she spoke from the heart. “It’s my honor to train you.” And though she didn’t really mean it as a direct compliment to Sunflowerpaw, she did feel it was a warrior’s honor to train the next generation.
———
Sharppaw dipped his head at his mentor’s compliment. “I’ll make sure they get it.” He said softly before also glancing at the storm clouds. He wouldn’t say anything but he’d always enjoyed this type of weather.
When Cinderblaze made towards the trees he grabbed his prey and followed shortly after.
Through the trees he caught sight of two large dark figures heading out towards the sea but in a few steps the sight was lost to the trees. Who could be going out in this type of weather?
Keeping his eyes on the woods around them he spotted another two cats heading in the same direction as his mentor and him.
They were both small and obviously she-cat but the larger of the two was not immediately identifiable. The bright shining pelt of Sunflowerpaw, was however. It took very little effort to then gather that the dark figure by her side was most likely Wildmane.
With a flick of his tail he drew Cinderblaze’s attention to the other cat’s.

Nightstar - -
[32 Moons][Leader][Molly]
Where. - - Leaders Den
With - - Cobrastorm & Pecanpaw/Dewdrop
- -[ Taiyou & Fallenleaves ] Just as she finished speaking and before Cobrastorm could respond to her, Pecanpaw and Dewdrop approached them. While the pale golden medicine cat walked right by her and her mate, Pecanpaw approached them directly. Shock flared in the calico molly's eyes and she glanced at Dewdrop as the little russet brown tom spoke to Cobrastorm directly. Sharing a glance with Cobrastorm, she blinked as Pecanpaw demanded her presence privately before jerking his head for her to follow. As he padded away, she touched her nose to Cobrastorms, before purring softly to the brown tom. "I'm sorry, love. Hold your thoughts. We will finish our conversation shortly. I must tend to my medicine cats first."
Apology flickered in her amber eyes as she left her mates side and followed after the two healers. She watched as Pecanpaw nudged his mentor into her den before she padded after them. Settling just in front of her nest, she curled her tail over her paws and turned serious eyes on them both. Her gaze locked on Dewdrop after a moment, wondering what was going on to cause her medicine cat to not address her directly. "What is going on.? It must be serious. Is everything alright.?"
Scorchstreak- -
[47 Moons][Warrior][Tom]
Where - -Training.
With - - Swansong
[ Fallenleaves ] While anger coursed through the two warriors, and the white molly lashed back out at him, Scorchstreak simply just hissed right back in her face. His tail was so bushed out, it was as thick as his own body. He stepped firmly, his claws digging into the slightly muddy ground. At this point, his nose was pressed to Swansong's and his tail lifted to match hers. He opened his maw to snap a reply back to her, but in that very moment, her maw opened and a strangled gargle escaped. Ripples surged through her body, before every inch of her stiffened. Without a word, her head swung to the sky and her eyes rolled, maw opened as more struggling noises came from her.
Surprise shook Scorchstreak at first and he took a step back, eyes wide. It wasn't until her body slammed to the ground and her entire body thrashed that panic overtook the russet somali tom. He stepped towards her, but was unable to get close enough as she trashed around the rocky and muddy earth. A frantic meow left his maw, a sound so faint to his own ears. His almost drowned out in the struggling cries and snarls that came from Swansong.
After a few moments, the thrashing stopped and the molly grew still. Her white flank was now completely hidden by the dark muddy dirt she had been thrashing in. As she tried to scramble to her paws, a whimper of help sounded from Swansong. Stepping forwards quickly, Scorchstreak crouched beside the younger warrior, resting a paw gently on her dirty flank. "I'm here, Swansong. I'm right here. Don't try to get up. Try to relax. Give yourself a moment." Worry was so thick in his voice, he almost choked on the words he spoke. Wrapping his bushy tail over her body, he gave her cheek gentle but quick licks. His eyes focused on her face. "It's going to be okay. Just breathe. Just try to relax. I'm here with you."
Walnutpaw - -
[11 Moons][Apprentice][Tom]
Location - -Warriors Den
With - - Bearswipe.
[Fallenleaves ]- - As Bearswipe led them towards the sea, excitement coursed through the brown somali. He trotted slowly beside Bearswipe. Silence stretched between the two toms, but Walnutpaw didn't mind. It wasn't often that apprentices got to just stroll with the warriors. And while he was near being a warrior himself, he knew that he was still an apprentice and anyone could treat him like one.
As they reached their destination, Walnutpaw stopped beside his injured mentor and settled down on his hindquarters. Licking a paw, he swiped it over his ear a few times, before looking out at the water. Waves moved quickly in the windy storm. Each one crashed along the rocky slope that led down to the sea. His ears flickered up as the brown tom beside him spoke up again. Turning his head, their eyes met, Warm amber against hazel.
Giving a slight shrug, he tilted his head slightly. His gaze stayed warm and content as he spoke. "I don't mind the silence. It's a nice peace after the chaos that our clan has been through lately." He paused and then looked ahead again. Rain poured around them, making him squint his eyes to see the wavy sea. "To be honest, I've never been really close to anyone else in the clan. Always been a loner."
Pecanpaw- -
[11 Moons][Medicine cat Apprentice][Tom]
Where. - - In Leaders Den.
With - - Dewdrop
[Fallenleaves ] As Dewdrop got to her paws, anxiety prickled at the toms paws. He kept silent as he followed the pale golden molly. Her blue eyes were locked on the leaders den and she ignored every soul in the camp. He forced his paws to step towards the calico leader who leaned happily against Cobrastorm. His gaze flickered to his mentor, who walked right by the leader and stood at the entrance of the leaders den. Taking a deep breath, he slipped up to Nightstar. Dipping his head in respect, he glanced with apologetic eyes at the brown tom beside the leader. "I apologize Cobrastorm. I must steal Nightstar for a moment. It's a private discussion between us medicine cats and her."
With a flick of his tail, he jerked his head for the calico leader to follow. After a moment, he turned and led the way into the leaders den. Stopping beside Dewdrop, he pressed his nose to the molly's cheek, before nudging her into the leaders den. Once inside, he settled down a distance from the entrance and held his head up. He would defend his mentor, no matter what.
Sunflowerpaw- -
[10 Moons][Apprentice][Molly]
Where - -Fishing.
With - - Wildmane.
[Fallenleaves ] Giving a soft purr, Sunflowerpaw nosed her mentor for a moment before heading quickly towards the camp. Her fur was soaked and a chill had risen in the air. Upon reaching the camp, she gave a quick shake before dipping her head to her mentor. "I think I'm going to rest a little. Get my fur dry." With a small nod, she turned and hurried into the warriors den, before sitting down and giving her fur a quick grooming. Her fur was stuck in awkward positions and she struggled to flatten her orange and white fur. Flicking her ears, she grumbled at the wet cold feeling that overtook her.
