Yarrowfur crawled through a few bushes and found a small rabbit, not yet fully grown, in the clearing on the other side. His pelt brushing the undergrowth alerted it immediately and it started to run. He gave chase and made several strides before he staggered to a stop, losing his balance and nearly tripping. "Foxdung," he hissed as the rabbit sped away. "Now I've probably scared off everything nearby."

Honeypaw hoped that Shrikepaw's question could help to lighten the mood. She flicked her tail lightly against Asterpaw's shoulder. "I bet it was ugly too. Did you scratch it?" Asterpaw shrugged at Honeypawβs question, however as he thought before he might want to start to get used to these questions. βIn the eye a couple times...β he started, βBefore he slammed into a tree,β he muttered quietly as he chewed on his meat. |

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been on. What do I need to catch up on?)) thymestar is on his last life. Nightwhisker made an announcement to the clan about the attack and that Elmsong died. Duskpelt, Yarrowfur and Sakura went out hunting to help out the clan. And somewhere on the last page I posted Snowdapple talking to Wokensight or something like that. I can try to find and quote it.) |

Snowdapple tried to settle close to her mate but kept glancing in the direction of the nursery. After one last glance she focused on Wovensight. "How are you feeling she asked quietly. |

Ivysplash had just stepped outside of the elder's den with a ball of dirty moss in his jaws when he heard the annoucement. "Poor Elmsong" he whispered to himself as he dropped the moss and looked up at the sky. Starpelt wasn't visible yet but he knew the warrior had made it to Starclan.
Turtlepool watched her clanmates from her spot near the elder's den as she listened to the announcement and watched as Nightwhisker walked back to the medicine den to where Thymestar must be. "Starclan be with this clan" she said mostly to herself.
Basilwhisker stood from where he lay and walked out of camp unsure what to do with himself. He went to the nearest creek and started to fish. The clan would need as much food as possible in the coming days.

Yarrowfur returned a while later, trudging slowly with a squirrel in his jaws and set it down to dig at the mound where they buried their other prey. "As soon as Duskpelt returns we'll head back to camp." he said to Sakura. Unless Duskpelt wants to stay out longer, he had the feeling his mate didn't want to be around camp, and wanted to delay their return as much as reasonable. Yarrowfur sighed and laid down.

Wovensight nuzzled his mate as best he could, a purr rising from his throat. "I'll be fine in a few hours love. Just need some rest after that blow to the head. I'm just glad you and the kits are alright."

"Uh... wow. That really... sucks." Shrikepaw sat awkwardly at the edge of the den, staring at Asterpaw as he ate. He didn't really want to look at the other cats in the den- he'd put himself in a situation that he didn't know how to handle. He'd come to get details, maybe ask if he was okay- well, of course he wasn't okay! But now, he felt as if he couldn't leave. "I'm sorry... about it...?" He scratched behind his ear nervously, tail tip twitching. "At least you're not dead, though. I guess."

taking light steps forward, DuskPelt caught sight of the thrush as it pecked at a seed on the ground. with a mighty leap, the molly grabbed the feathery prey by the neck with a swift killing bite, before raising her head and turning to return to the group. when the warrior arrived, she saw the other two waiting, and nodded with approval. "this should take care of the clan for now. we should head back." she decided after looking over the stash they had brought together.

"Are you sure you're ready to head back?" Yarrowfur asked Duskpelt softly, blinking. He heaved himself up onto his paws and picked up his prey, scraping the dirt back into the now empty hole. He wasn't sure what they would do if her answer was 'no', maybe sit in the clearing for a while?

DuskPelt purred in appreciation, and nodded. "we dont want them sending others out to look for us. the clan cant afford to spare the paws right now" she meowed in reply, before picking up her rabbit and thrush, and looking at Sakura, waiting for her to pick up her prey as well. she wondered about making a second trip, if not to hunt, to get moss soaked in water for those unable to leave camp.

Yarrowfur stared down at the ground as they walked back to camp, keeping close to Duskpelt's side. "Which catch do you want to share when we get back?" he asked Duskpelt, touching his tail to her flank. He looked a little worried and tired, but he gave his mate a smile.

Weaselpaw had to admit the tomβs determination to gain more information about this was truly inspiring. Of course he didnβt feel like doing this at all, he simply wanted to lay down, eat his prey, talk with his fellow apprentices, and then go to sleep. βYeah... I guess.β He said as he took a short glance toward Elmsongβs body. |

Wovensight nuzzled his mate as best he could, a purr rising from his throat. "I'll be fine in a few hours love. Just need some rest after that blow to the head. I'm just glad you and the kits are alright." Snowdapple nodded. "Okay. If you need to rest I'm going to go be with the kits." She said getting up and stretching. She touched her nose to Wovensight's and gave a sad look to Thymestar before heading to the nursery and curling up around her kits and going to sleep with a sigh. |

DuskPelt purred softly, and, after a moments consideration, shrugged. "i usually pick, so its your turn. i think ill leave the rabbit for the injured, though, theyll need a good meal to keep their strength up" she suggested with a slight frown. it would be a long night, and it was important those that had been injured in the fox fight were well cared for and fed, it would be essential for them to heal quickly. the molly was content with whatever YarrowFur picked. the emotions of the day were starting to get to her, and she was feeling a bit tired.

Yarrowfur smiled. "Something large enough for the both of us but not too large that it wouldn't be better for our injured Clanmates, got it." he nodded and paused for a moment. "Maybe the squirrel," he chuckled. The white tom brushed against her fur then not every other pace, wobbling as he walked. He stared at the path ahead, and the wall of camp when it came into view. He glanced to Sakura. The former loner had fought a fox today, buried it, then gone hunting, he guessed she must feel even more tired.

DuskPelt purred softly at his constant contact, and briefly butted her head into his side. the camp came into view, and her fur prickled at the thought of what they might be returning to. had ThymeStar lost another life? what about the others? she prayed they wouldnt lose anyone else tonight. approaching the entrance, she exchanged a glance with her mate, before ducking through the tunnel and forcing her way inside the camp, tail twitching.

Yarrowfur paused before entering camp to look again to Sakura. "Thanks for coming hunting with us," he decided to say, though he almost invited her to eat with them. I want another quiet meal just with Duskpelt before the vigil, I'll invite Sakura another time, he slipped into camp and padded after his mate.

(Sorry for not being active in the last two days. Was online but couldn't really focus on writing.)
Silverpaw took another bite out of the prey as he listened to Shrikepaw and Asterpaw. Did he really have to say that, he thought to himself at Shrikepaw's last remark. The younger apprentice wasn't wrong but Silverpaw couldn't help but feel it was a little insensitive of him. He didn't say anything though, not wanting to discourage Shrikepaw. He briefly ran his tail over Asterpaw's back when the later glanced at Elmsong though. Icewhisper glanced at Wovensight and then back at Thymestar. The leader was on his last live now and likely not for much longer. Still, Wovensight couldn't spend the rest of the day out here. She gave a short nod to Nightwhisker and Thymestar and padded over to the warrior. "We should get you to my den now. Do you want me to send Honeypaw, Silverpaw and Shrikepaw away or do you think they won't bother you?" She asked him. Heronflight padded over to Thymestar and Nightwhisker and sat down beside them for a moment. "The clan will miss him, you know," she whispered to the deputy. "But you'll make a fine leader. Thymestar really chose the best cat." Then she touched her nose to Thymestar's fur, giving a soft, comforting purr as she did so. "The whole clan is grateful for you," she meowed. "On behalf of all the elders I also thank you for the times you just came over to talk and share prey. I think I speak for all of us when I say that we all really enjoyed such moments." With that Heronflight dipped her head to Thymestar and went to sit in front of the elders den. Weaselkit had gone back to watching what was going on outside, trying her best to listen to Nightwhisker's announcement to the clan and once he was done she kept watching her clanmates as best as she could from inside the nursery. Behind her Foxkit got up from his nest and padded over to his mother and Wolfkit, settling down between the two. ( Mother Dark , you said that Thymestar had saved some kits from a river once and lost a live for it, if I remember correctly. Any idea when that could have happened and who those cats were?) |

(No clue. I just liked the thought of him losing a life in that way. I'm open to it being anyone.))
Thymestar lay still but he let out a quiet sigh as he heard Heronflight speak. Then his eyes opened. He just lay there watching the scenes unfold around him.

DuskPelt padded over to the fresh kill pile and dropped her additions onto the pile. Flicking her tail and indication for YarrowFur to pick something for them as she padded over to NightWhisker to report their success. "The clan should be well fed tonight. we can go back out in the morning, but there's a large rabbit there, I figured the injured could share it, they'll need the strength" She murmured as she watched ThymeStar, noticing his eyes were open.

Yarrowfur dropped his prey and his eyes caught a stark contrast of black and white on the fresh-kill pile. A magpie. He gripped the bird with his teeth and pulled it out from underneath a rabbit. He looked up with a bright glint in his eyes, expecting to see Duskpelt there, but she had gone off to speak to Nightwhisker, so he found a spot to wait by the warriors den. He settled down with the magpie at his paws.

Basilwhisker came back onto camp holding four fish by the tail. He set three in the freshkill pile and kept the smallest one for himself. He wandered over and layed near Sakura but didn't talk to her in case she wanted to be alone.
Thymestar opened his eyes and looked up at Nightwhisker. He stayed silent but his eyes were glassy like he was ready to cry.
