(~Skyblaze~) Frostpaw with Skunkpaw (Forest)
(Hey, Sky. I think the water beast had made its way from the sea to the stream that runs through LeafClan territory. It was at the stream by the training hollow. Are we gonna say that it’s going between the stream and the sea.? That would make sense. I’m open to whatever anyone else is. The stream runs through the entire LeafClan territory. It would make everywhere a bit dangerous and scary!)
Frostpaw stopped for a moment at her sisters words, her mouth gaping and her eyes wide in disbelief. It took her a moment to recover and then hurried after Skunkpaw. She tried to think of a way to stop her sister, but she was sure there was nothing to convince her otherwise. She did make a point, but they were so small. If this thing could destroy a full grown and seasoned warriors, what could it do to an apprentice.? With a deep breath, she flattened her ears and murmured. “That’s super dangerous, Skunkpaw. What if something bad happens.? I know you want revenge for Doeleap, but she wouldn’t want you to join her in Starclan..” Taking a deep breath, she ran her feathery tail along her sisters black and white flank. Even with those words, she was making it clear she was sticking by the Molly’s side.

(Fallenleaves) Walnutpaw with Bearswipe (Training)
It was easy for Walnutpaw to see that he had hit a sore spot with Bearswipe. Of course it would effect him. This very place was where his sister had died, most likely saving her apprentice. A true warriors death. The tom flattened his ears in a slight apology. He didn’t want to bring up any bad memories, just wanted to be safe. It scared the usually brave tom. Not just for himself, but for Bearswipe as well. When Bearswipe led him to the place where most collected moss, he lifted his tail. What a good idea for a place to train. It had a barrier of comfort to catch them if they fell or went tumbling. At his mentors instructions, the tom tried to follow his mentors exact stance. He felt like he had managed to get the stance pretty well, but his tail still stuck out and his weight was more on his haunches than his front paws.

(Brindlebriar ) Amberblaze with Taloneye (Medicine cats den)
As Taloneye spoke about the clan, Amberblaze ate. Her eyes clouded and a dark cloud fell over her. Duskmeadow was dead.? Doeleap...dead.? Two kits, dead. A handful of them sick. Some creature was hunting her clanmates. And she was in and out of it here. Three apprentices had needed new mentors. Something like this hadn’t happened in such a long time. Amberblaze remembered stories of one of the medicine cats of LeafClan murdering clanmates. It’d been a very dark time for LeafClan. She remembered nursery threats that had been passed down from Queen to Queen. Scolding their kits when they misbehaved, telling them that the dark forest tom would come to get them when they slept if they didn’t behave. Such trouble had befallen her clan again. After many seasons of peace. “Such troubles have befallen our clan, Talon..And we cant even help them. I know my time is coming for Starclan to call me home, but I wish I was young again, fighting this battle with my clanmates.” Pausing from her eating, the molly nuzzled into Taloneye again, showing the grey tom her appreciation for him. She was lucky to spend her final days with him. Already, she was starting to feel weak again. Her voice becoming rusty and wheezy and fever washing over her. But she fought the feelings, wanting to be awake a little longer. “You are so wonderful, Taloneye. I’m so lucky to have you by my side. Thank you.”

(Hey, Nimble. ☺️ The idea of poisoning the creature isn’t suppose to come until after the warriors try to attack it and fail. Then Nightbringer was going to suggest the idea. We wanted it to kind of be her way of gaining acceptance into the clan. 🖤 and we wanted the fun of trying to fight the monster before thinking of poisoning it.)

Swansong perked at the commotion coming from the center of camp. Finishing off her prey she padded close enough to catch snippets of conversation. Realizing they spoke of the water beast Swansong made to turn away but not before she caught sight of Wildmane standing beside Nightstar. The sight sent both fire and ice through her veins, baring her fangs unknowingly she pushed her way to the front of the group.
“Are you the one pushing for this?” Swansong hissed at Wildmane who turned to her with wide eyes. “What stupid plan do you have running round in that mousebrain of yours.”
At the hostile tone and stance Wildmane stood from where she’d been seated, listening to the arguments of her clanmates. “How nice it is for you to show up.” Wildmane snarled in return, her bitterness of having not seen Swansong once the night before rising to the surface. “And for you information I don’t have a plan, which is why I’m sitting and listening.”
Swansong lashed her tail and began pacing, her glare never leaving Wildmane. “You never have a plan, your just going to run off and do something stupid aren’t you?”
Wildmane bristled, her eyes shining with emotion. “What do you care!” She snarled, her namesake becoming a spiky mess that framed her angry face. “You don’t even have to decency to stand vigil for Doeleap so don’t act like you give a foxdung about me!”
“You’re right.” Swansong pulled herself up to her full height, her snarl slipping into a look of complete disdain. “I don’t give a foxdung about you, hope that makes throwing away your life easier. Anyone that goes against this thing is doing exactly that and I want no part of it.” She spat and whirled round to stalk away.
Wildmane stared after her, her snarls growing thick and painful in her throat. The shine in her eyes grew till tears spilled into her dark fur. “You foxheart!” She yowled after Swansong but the insult feel flat as her voice broke.

Skunkpaw mewed in response, with a sidelong glance at her. She flinched and bristled at her former mentor's name, relaxing only when her sister's tail ran along her side. "It'll be fine. Don't worry, I'll look after you. I wouldn't let anything happen to you." She added, whiskers twitching in amusement. Though she had decided to go to the sea, her paws were pulling towards the training hollow, towards the stream. Something told her that's where she would find the creature again.

Snake with Sakura & Shade (Outside clan territory)After rolling around in the mud and coating his fur, the now completely brown tom stepped forwards. He watched as the other two followed in suit, aware of how uncomfortable to mud was to all of them. He padded up to each of them and drew in a deep breath, satisfied when he couldn't pick up either of their scents. With a nod, he signaled to the rabbit. "Alright, Shade. Sakura. Where do you suggest we place this rabbit.?" He turned and started heading towards Leafclan territory, ears pricked up and tail lashing. Excitement coursed through him. It'd be fun to mess with the clan cats. He flexed his claws as he headed on, digging up clumps of dirt in his path. They knew of at least 5 other loners and rogues that may join them. It would give them the start of a pretty decent group. "After we place the rabbit and wash off, we could go to the twoleg clearing and then to the waterside to meet the two that Shade knows. Then tomorrow we could find the tom by the mountainside and then head to the farm to see Lily and her friend."
[Brindlebriar]Thistletongue with Brindlebriar(Nursery)The thought of his little white, orange and brown kit, running around the camp, getting under her clanmates paws, made Thistletongue smile. She'd be a bright light for the clan. He knew it, deep in his heart. She sure was a brightness to him, a warmth in the darkness. Touching his nose to the top of Brightkit's head, he purred his agreement to Brindlebriar's words. After a moment, the warrior stood and stretched out his legs. His ears swiveled slightly at his mates question. "Well..Now the clan is discussing what to do about this water creature. The clan seems a bit split about it. Most think we should avoid it for now, having clanmates sick and having lost two of our warriors. Others want to fight this creature." Sitting down with a huff, he wrapped his tail over his large white paws. His dark green eyes became serious as he spoke again. "I believe we should figure out a plan to attack this creature. The clan isn't safe with it around. What if it wonders from the water and to the camp.? We aren't safe throughout our territory. How will we go about patrols and hunting.? Training our young cats.?'
[~Skyblaze~]Frostpaw with Skunkpaw(Leafclan Territory) With a deep sigh, Frostpaw followed after her sister. She was stiff legged and her tail was brushed up. The usually brave apprentice, was quite terrified. But she held her pace with Skunkpaw, walking with much determination. She flicked her ears up, scanning the forest with sweeps of her head as they headed swiftly towards the training hollow where the apprentices learned to swim. She was sure her sister would always try to keep her safe, but no matter how hard she tried..Would Frostpaw be able to keep her safe.? As the two apprentices approached the hollow, the black molly came to a stop. She flicked her tail out to block Skunkpaw's way. "Are you sure about this.? I..I don't think I want to see this creature..How do you know you'll be safe.? What if it gets you.?" She crouched low, ears flattening and eyes becoming wide and fearful.
[Fallenleaves]Walnutpaw with Bearswipe(Training)As Bearswipe moved around him, he listened to his words, his instructions with a concentrated look on his face. Shifting his weight and distributing it evenly over all his paws, he looked up to the brown tom with a question in his eyes. At the mention of his tail, he swept it around his side, keeping it tucked against him. His father had told him about that trick when he was a kit, playing with his siblings. It kept it safe from someone trying to grab it and unbalance you. "How about this.? Does that work.? Scorchstreak taught me to keep my tail tucked. I still have to keep my balance without using my tail." Excitement flashed in the apprentices eyes as he spoke. His mentor had a stub for a tail, so he knew all about fighting and balancing without a tail. Part of him was suddenly happy to have the large tom as his new mentor, while the other part of him felt bad for Copperfall and his sickness.

Sakura nodded as Snake spoke, padding over to grab the rabbit before following the tabby tom. “I was thinking a few fox-lengths into their territory. They’ll be more confused the further we put it, but we have to be careful not to meet any cat,” she mewed, catching up to walk beside Snake. The pale gray she-cat paused to get a better grip on her prey before mumbling, “With all those cats, we’ll have no issue causing trouble for Leafclan. If I’m remembering correctly, we should have enough to outnumber a single patrol, am I right?” She turned to Snake as she talked, knowing that he’ll know more than her about these cats.

Skunkpaw / Apprentices / Outside Hollow / Frostpaw (♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥)Skunkpaw could smell her sister's fear clearly, and she felt a pang of sympathy for her. She had been brave enough to follow her all the way here. "Don't come in then. I'll check myself." She hopped onto the rock just before the hollow, and waved her tail to her sister. "I'll be fine, honest! I'll be in and out. You know me, I'm quick as a fish!" She didn't wait for an answer, and instead pushed herself into the hollow. She didn't want to give her sister a chance to change her mind. If her suspicion was correct, she didn't want Frostpaw anywhere near what was about to happen. (Did you want to RP the gator or me?)

Feeling bad for not wanting to stay by her sisters side, Frostpaw hung her head in shame. She shuffled her front paws, ears staying flat against her head. Her tail was still brushed out and she paced outside the training hollow. She prayed to Starclan her sister didn't run into this water creature. After all, she only wanted a glimpse of it, right.? She just wanted to give her clan an idea, right.? But as she paced, her thoughts whirled in her head. She couldn't shake the dread that filled deep inside of her. She couldn't shake the feeling that something terrible was going to happen. Yet she couldn't bring herself to try and stop Skunkpaw. Her sister would just go without her, be alone, if she tried to stop her. At least she was close, she was right here if something did happen. "Please stay safe, Skunkpaw..Don't be a hero, hide and just get a look at it..Stay out of its way."

I'll do the encounter in parts, so we can also have Sand and Frost converse while Skunk does her thing) Sandpaw / Apprentice / Outside Training Hollow / Frostpaw "Frostpaw? What are you doing out here?" The curious mew came from Sandpaw, who padded up to her, clutching 2 mice in his jaws. He dropped his prey in front of his paws, and then looked over at her. "I thought the training hollow was off limits after what happened." He mused. "Though I doubt you sisters think the rules apply to you." He added loftily. He prodded his catch with one paw idly, as if the prey didn't concern him too much. If it got lost, he'd simply find more. It was an easy task. Skunkpaw / Apprentice / Training HollowSkunkpaw padded cautiously towards the stream, ears pricked for any sign of danger. However, things appeared quiet for the time being. Her fur prickled as her eyes cast upon the stream. It was here that...that...she couldn't think about it. "Where are you?" She muttered, looking around. "You wouldn't have gone far." Now that you have a taste for cat. Suddenly, she heard movement at the water's edge, and she dove into some nearby reeds, peering out cautiously. Slowly sliding out onto the mud was the most terrifying creature she had ever seen. It was long and scaly, with a dark stone colored pelt. It had short stubby legs and crawled low to the ground, just like a lizard. It had a long, narrow snout with a bumpy nose. It's beady little eyes swiveled lazily in their sockets as it lashed its tail. Skunkpaw shivered as she saw long, twisted fangs poking out from its jaw.

(Robinbreeze & nimble) Snake with Sakura and Shade (Heading to Leafclan territory)
As Sakura caught up to him, readjusting the rabbit before speaking, he turned his attention to the gray molly. He nodded at her words, eyes flashing with a knowing look. He'd observed the clan cats for moons and had learned much about them in his run ins with them. Dewdrop had shared many things about her clanmates and the clan life in their times together. "Yes. Typically the clan sends out about 4 warriors on a patrol. It's not often there is more than that in a group. They often split off into different groups and different areas of their territory. While others you can catch alone with a younger cat. They train their young cats. And then there's the loners within the clan, that prefer to do some hunting on their own. It's a fun challenge to mess with them and battle with them. Not enough to get yourself too hurt, but enough to leave some marks on them." As he was speaking, he crossed the scent line that started Leafclan territory. Opening his mouth, he noticed the scent markers were a bit faint. Odd, for the clan cats, as they usually remarked them daily. He shrugged and pushed on, heading deeper into the trees. "Maybe they just haven't made it this way yet. Which means it won't take long for them to find the rabbit."

“Yes that looks good.” Bearswipe meowed and circled the apprentice one more time. He gave a few experimental pokes of his paw to test Walnutpaw’s balance. “Alright you seem to have that down. Now watch me once more.” Bearswipe padded a tail length away once more so he could be seen and crouched into the fighting stance, this time with his side to Walnutpaw. Slowly so the apprentice could see he swiped at some invisible enemy with his front right paw then his left one, with his left leg he kicked out and the right one followed. He slowly sped up till he was alternately smoothly through the strikes. “I want you to practice shifting your balance off the paws you’ll be using. We want this to become muscle memory, otherwise your falter only the moment.” He stopped his demonstration and gestured for Walnutpaw to try. (Fallenleaves) Walnutpaw with Bearswipe (Training)
Taking a deep breath and watching Bearswipe intently, the apprentice started to copy the older tom. But just small swipes to try to get the hang of it. He stopped just a moment before Bearswipe. As his mentor turned to him, he flickered his ears up. At the gesture to try it, Walnutpaw crouched again. He had the fighting stance down perfectly this time, his tail still tucked to his side. He swiped with his front right paw, then swiped with the left. Kicking out his left leg, he did pretty well, then followed with the right. For a moment, the apprentice did pretty well, then his confidence became too much and as he sped up, he stumbled, falling flat on his face. Huffing in irritation, the somali growled and pushed himself to his paws. Sitting on his haunches, he rubbed his nose with his paw. He flattened his ears in embarrassment and sighed. "I'm sorry.."

(That sounds good to me, Sky!) Frostpaw with Sandpaw-Mentions Skunkpaw (Training Hollow)
Frostpaw nearly jumped out of her fur as Sandpaw approached her from behind. She whipped around, fur bristling and making her look huge compared to her normal size. She glared at him with angry blue eyes as he dropped the mice he was carrying and started talking. Lashing her tail from side to side, she swatted at him, catching the tip of his ear with her paw. "Are you a mouse-brained fool.? Don't sneak up on me like that," After a moment of trying to calm her racing heart, she licked her chest fur flat in embarrassment and then muttered. "If it's so off limits, what exactly do YOU think YOU are doing here.?"

Sandpaw / Apprentice / Outside Hollow / Frostpaw "Sneak up on you? I simply greeted you. Any cat would think you were up to something, Frostpaw." Sandpaw meowed, whiskers twitching in amusement. "I was hunting, as you can clearly see." He replied smoothly, sandy tail flicking towards the mice at his paws. "Clearly, you aren't doing the same, so what are you doing here?" He prompted, curling his tail around his paws as he settled himself down with a decidedly superior look on his face.
(I love Sandpaw already XD)
(And here's the Skunk scene, hope you guys like it!)
Skunkpaw / Apprentice / Training Hollow / Scary Beastie Skunkpaw watched as the creature hauled itself on land, fur bristling in alarm. She hadn't expected it to be this close! What would she do? Then, she saw something that made her burn in anger. It was smiling! Sure enough, the creature's mouth appeared twisted in a wicked smile. Was it happy that it murdered her beloved mentor? Black rage clouded her thoughts as she left the safety of the undergrowth, paws pounding towards it, claws unsheathed. She would wipe its smile off its ugly face!
Then, it's mouth opened.
Skunkpaw's pawsteps faltered as the creature's maw opened wide in a yawn, revealing row upon row of thorn-sharp teeth. She felt a chill run through her as her rage and courage sunk away, replaced by the terror of the sight, the same sight that no doubt, Doeleap must have seen just before...before...
Snap!
It happened so fast she almost didn't react fast enough.
The mouth snapped closed, but the creature had lunged forward. Skunkpaw dodged back, just barely in time, but she still felt teeth slash through her side. The pain was so white-hot it took her breath away, so much that she couldn't even yowl aloud. It lunged forward again, incredibly fast for a sea creature, and it was only her small size that saved her. Had she been any slower, the teeth would have clamped down around her body. Instead, she rolled back, so they only scored her underbelly, leaving deep gashes.
She lay still now, unmoving, unfeeling, as the creature advanced. Why did it matter anymore? She couldn't run. She was grievously injured. Why not just go to StarClan? At least she could see Doeleap again, one more time.
Frostpaw.
It was one word, one fleeting thought in her clouding mind, but it lit a small spark inside of her. Her sister. Her precious sister was waiting for her. If she died here, who would protect her? Skunkpaw had to. Not just her, but Rainpaw, and Snowpaw. Icestorm and Morningdew. It wasn't time yet.
Snap.
It would have been the snap that took her head. Instead, she jerked back, and slavering jaws scored bloody lines across her face. She could barely see now. I'm sorry, Doeleap. I can't see you just yet.
A single paw lashed out, carrying her rage, sadness, and all of the love the young cat had to give. Tiny but thorn-sharp claws buried themselves right in the monster's sensitive, vulnerable eye. It roared then, and stomped. One of its legs caught her paw, pounding it into the ground. The pain simply blended into the rest.
It was as if some primal instinct confused it at the loss of its vision. It shook its head and bellowed, staggering to the side. It was the few moments of respite Skunkpaw needed. Slowly, excruciatingly, she dragged herself away from the water's edge.
She heard a loud splash as the creature returned to the stream, but she could no longer see anymore. Darkness clouded her vision, and she lay still.

Shade jumped up into the Maple tree beside Sakura, digging his claws into the bark to get a good grip. He looked down at the ground where Sakura had half buried the rabbit, and chuckled. "Yeah that will confuse them, and while we're covered in mud we can also listen in on their conversations and maybe get some information that will be useful to us." He blinked his yellow eyes, his tail thrashing excitedly, sending bits of mud flying.

(Only have a moment, so I’m gonna respond to Sky first and then try to get other replies up when I can.) (~Skyblaze~) Frostpaw with Sandpaw (Training Hollow)
If Frostpaw could smack the look off of Sandpaws face, she would. Sometimes she just couldn’t stand the tom. He acted like he was better than her. She gave a huff and flicked her thick tail, hitting him in the cheek with a good ‘Wack’ After a moment, she stood and paced around again, fur starting to bristle once more. In her encounter with the other apprentice, she realized how long it was taking for Skunkpaw to come back. Anxiety started to consume the little black molly and her blue eyes became dark and painfully worried. She hardly even noticed Sandpaw anymore as she flickered her ears about, listening for any noise. Jumping onto the rock right outside the hollow, she shakily called for her sister. “Skunkpaw..? Are you okay..?” After a moment of hearing nothing but an eerily silent response, the apprentice took a deep breath and jumped into the training clearing. On shaky paws, she headed towards the area where they usually trained to fish and swim. Pushing her way through a couple bushes, she cane to a dead halt, eyes widening in panic and fear as her gaze fell on her mauled sister. She let out a screech, bursting forwards to come to Skunkpaws side. She had deep marks in many parts of her body and her paw looked mangled. The creature must have gotten ahold of her. Nosing her sister, she could see the faint rise and fall of her breath, praying to Starclan to keep her alive. She licked at the bloody pelt before her and then throws to grab ahold of Skunkpaw by her scruff to carry her to camp. She hardly could lift her, seeing as they were the same size and shape. A whimper escapes her as she tried to pull her with a harder yank, only moving her slightly. “Oh, Skunkpaw..I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have let you go alone..I’m so sorry..Please don’t die..”
