▪Intro When a pair of cats from warring clan come together, the brief moments of bliss quickly become not enough. The desire for more gets stronger as the sun sets and rises. Soon it's not just the longing for each others constant company, but the want and need for a life filled with peace. Where they weren't simply just surviving the day. Where life was more than war, bloodshed, and strife.
A spark of confidence was all they needed to carry out the idea of leaving the known world behind and venture out into the unknown. Either that or maybe a tragedy just bad enough to drive them away...
▪Plot Ridgeclan and Gorgeclan have been waring for so many moons it is all some have ever known. If there are any elders or senior warriors left, only they have known peace. With the warriors dwindling kits have been apprentice before their rightful time, and elders pulled from retirement. The more deaths that occur the more the flame of hatred is fueled.
While out hunting Pinewhisker of Gorgeclan and Brighttail of Ridgeclan bumped into each other and a friendship was formed. A friendship that quick evolved into something romantic. Finally one night the pair stole away meeting once again in their secret spot by the river and it was decided. They would leave. Despite leafbare looming ahead of the them they were going to make it happen. Come the next full moon, just a day away, the pair would embark on the journey of a life time. To find new lands and build a clan of their own.
Will those that they love within clans join them, or brand them traitors and banish them for good?
Join Pinewhisker and Brighttail in creating a new life. A life worth living, not just worth surviving in.

▪Accepted Characters▪ ● Pinewhisker Falconwing Gorgeclan Warrior Tom || 32 moons old Stout well muscled tomcat with broad shoulders and strong hind legs. His pelt is a deep russet, almost ruddy brown, with a dark brown dappled pattern. His fur is medium length with tufts on his ears, cheeks, and legs. Has a naturally bobbed tail and olive green eyes. Brave and good humored this ruddy tomcat is quite popular amongst his clanmates. However the stress of being in such a horrid environment of a war torn land has made him unsure of where his true loyalties lie. He just wants to find happiness. Apprentice: Galepaw
● Brighttail @nettles RidgeClan Warrior She-Cat || 37 Moons Brighttail is a massive jet-black she-cat, with a thick pelt, sturdy shoulders, large paws, and a broad muzzle. She was named for the bands of white fur around her long, thick tail that match the white patches over her narrow, bright geeen eyes. Brighttail is seen as no-nonsense, with a quiet, intimidating aura and stern attitude that often frightens away potential relationships. Despite this, she has a soft core, and becomes easily flustered in romantic situations, and when it comes to strong bonds, she is willing to drop her disciplined nature. In a secret relationship with the GorgeClan warrior Pinewhisker.
● Whitewhisp Falconwing Ridgeclan Queen Shecat || 19 Moons Lean framed molly with long white whispy fur. At the base of her tail on her back and up her tail she has very pale ginger tabby markings. Has yellow eyes. Whitewhisp is a very shy but sweet caring shecat. Still young she tends to be quite naive, which is probably the reason why she was pressured into getting pregnant by her crush Talonsnatch. Now she is a nervous wreck, and jumpy as all get out, forever concerned about the well being of her future kits. She is best friends with Brighttail, and knows about her friends secret lover and plans to leave the clan with Brighttail in hopes of giving her kits a better future.
● Fogstripe @nettles GorgeClan Warrior Tom || 25 Moons Fogstripe is a thin, long-limbed cinnamon-and-silver tabby, with short, sleek fur, a long, whip-like tail, and thin, angular features that give him a constantly smug look. He has long, thin ears with tufts of fur at the end and narrow, pale green eyes. Fogstripe has a bit of a gossip-y attitude, always poking his nose where it doesn’t belong and using his own methods to find out everybody’s dirty little secrets. While he rarely blackmails, he’s not truly above using it to get his way, and will become frustrated when others don’t bend to his demands. Despite his flaws, he is loyal to a fault to those who have proven themselves to be true friends, and his cunning and analytical nature makes him an excellent asset. He was mates with a tom named Stormstrike, but became disillusioned with the clan and their ongoing war when Stormstrike was killed in one of many needless battles. Since then, he has been looking for an opportunity to leave the clan.
● Galepaw @nettles GorgeClan Apprentice Tom || 5 Moons Galepaw is a white tom with short fur, and a plume-like tail. He is unusually small, even for his age, and many agree he’s unlikely to be much larger when he’s older. He has large paws that make him somewhat clumsy, and large, round pale blue eyes. Galepaw is a bit reckless and eager to impress, and will often get himself into dangerous situations while trying to show off. Despite this, he’s willing to listen and wait for cats he respects, and he’s a quick learned when he puts his mind to it. One of many GorgeClan cats apprenticed early to continue the war. His mother, Driftfoot, was put back on warrior duties when he was 4 moons old, and died shortly after in battle, and his father, Cloudfur, died before he was born. He is apprenticed to Pinewhisker and looks up to him quite a bit.
● Stormclaw fire RidgeClan Warrior Tom || 23 moons old He's a lithe, lean, muscular tom with black fur and dark blue eyes, that reflect the night sky. He is taller than most of his Clanmates. He's sarcastic, hot-headed, but can be caring and friendly toward people he likes. He's uncomfortable around cats he doesn't know, especially GorgeClan cats, but does like the idea of running away, so he decides to join.
History As a kit, Stormkit was loved by his parents and brought up to be apprenticed at a young age, thanks to Nettlestar's leadership and the ongoing war. His friends, as well as himself, admired the idea of being young and fighting for their Clan's honor.
As an apprentice, he trained fiercely and was made a warrior very quickly. Through Nettlestar's lies, he was inspired to have fierce loyalty for RidgeClan. His friends were slightly jealous of him being made a warrior early, but they became warriors shortly thereafter.
As a warrior, he was determined to prove to GorgeClan and his own Clan that he was the best warrior in both territories, and wanted to put an end to the war quickly so that his Clan wouldn't be harmed anymore. However, in battle, Stormclaw watched as his friends began to die, picked off one by one in the countless battles that were fought. Enraged, he led attack patrols to GorgeClan, and in the heat of battle, killed two GorgeClan warriors. Shocked, he became detached from the way of a warrior, and began to reflect on the war and who he had become. He often spent his time alone, wandering through his Clan's territory, his adventurous spirit that he'd had since a kit longing for something more. He no longer made friends, and the ones he had left, he isolated himself from. They were focused on getting revenge on GorgeClan, but he couldn't stomach the thought of more battles. The war he had hoped to end with his ruthlessness had turned into a ceaseless nightmare. He reluctantly continued to fight, to put up a facade that he was still a loyal warrior. However, he found himself craving the life of a loner more and more. When he heard about the plan to leave, he tagged on quickly.
He doesn't feel comfortable around GorgeClan warriors, but is decent toward his own Clanmates. He'll often be stuck in his own thoughts, wondering where this adventure will take them.
● Frecklewind Zz Ridgeclan Queen She-cat || 28 Moons Frecklewind is a long-haired she-cat with pale brown, almost oak colored fur. Her fur lightens along her tail, face, paws, and back and her ears and tail tip are black. She has beautiful, bright blue eyes and a pale pink nose and paw pads. Her whiskers are long and white and she has pure black claws. Frecklewind is the model of a fantastic mother. She is kind, loving, and compassionate, but is also protective and would do anything for her family but most of all, anything for her son. She was born to be a queen and even through all of the war and bloodshed, she always made sure that the kits of the clan were cared for and loved. Frecklewind was mates with a tom named Redwolf but this tom was a viscous fighter and refused to come with her, leading to Frecklewind having to leave him behind so that she could ensure a brighter future for her kit.
● Ferretkit Zz Kit (born after the group leaves) Tom || Newborn Ferretkit is a dark brown tom with long, sleek fur that is soft to the touch. His nose and paw pads are black, his whiskers this dark hue as well, while his claws are the same as his mother's. He has ginger hues popping through along his face and paws and a lightening of his brown coloration along his chest and underbelly. This tom's right eye is blue like his mother's while his left is the same leaf green that his father's were. Ferretkit is a happy and carefree kit who loves to run around and play with anyone and anything. He often jumps on others at random and loves to talk and make jokes. He loves his mother dearly and promises to protect her always. Ferretkit was born from Frecklewind after the she-cat had left her old clan to ensure a better future for him and his brother. He is forever thankful for this and is ready to help protect those around him.
● Mousekit Zz Kit (born after the group leaves) Tom || Newborn Mousekit is a dark ginger tom who is the spitting image of his father except for having gained his mother's blue eyes. He has white paws, a white muzzle, and faint brown stripes along his neck and tail. This tom is a live wire, never staying still and never seeming to run out of energy either. He is curious about anything and everything and wants to know everything that he can. Mousekit was born from Frecklewind after the she-cat had left her old clan to ensure a better future for him and his brother. His curiosity leads to him venturing away from camp one night and he is killed by a fox. (Or at least thought to have been)

● Option #2 The Route Taken South/Downstream - If you travel downstream out of clan lands you will quickly run into a massive tangle of twoleg villages. The quickest route would be to cut through the village versus spending the whole winter season trying to skirt around the outer edges. The risk of starvation is a big threat due to lack of prey, and sickness if you cant find clean water. However, if you know where to look and dont mind rummaging through twoleg tins surviving in the twoleg place is possible. There is the threat of hostile cats, dogs, and twolegs (specifically The Catcher AKA Animal Control). You also risk crossing over many busy thunder paths. This journey has it's fair share of dangers as well. It is said that on the other side is a beautiful forest and just past that is lots of wide open rolling hills that are rich in prey.

As the sun began to set Pinewhisker slinked along the narrow path that led into camp. In his jaws he carried two mice, one less that what his hunting trip had produced. The russet tomcat knew that if he was to embark on his trip with Brighttail tonight he would need to fill his belly. Reaching the main ledge the tom headed over to the overhang that the freshkill pile resided under and deposited his final catch for the clan. Even though he had decided to leave everyone he knew behind, that didn't mean he stopped caring about them. Pinewhisker had given forth extra efforts in his hunting trip, he just could leave them with nothing.
As the cold winds of leafbare buffeted against the gorge walls the russet tom settled himself in the corner of overhang and began to run through his escape plan in his head. He needed to leave without anyone knowing, the last thing they needed was to be followed.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
Yellow eyes wide and darting to and fro, Whitewhisp desperately searched for her friend. Standing on edge in the corner of camp the young molly hoped that she could catch Brighttail before she left camp. Having just had a frightful fight with Talonsnatch about their relationship and future kits, the mostly white molly was in need of her best friend. Trotting swiftly towards the warriors den she called out. "Brighttail?" Her ears flicked nervously before backing out when no response came. Sighing the feline turned around to begin searching the rest of camp when she bumped into Nettlestar.
"Is something wrong?" The clan leader questioned, his eyes looking down at her with a suspicious gaze. The old tomcat was suspicious of anyone and everyone these days, and the last thing Whitewhisp needed was the attention of the clan leader.
"Oh, no ... it's just that Talonsnatch and I had a fight.. I dont think we will be mates anymore". The young warrior had to give him some truths or else risk suspending.
"Oh well that's alright", Nettlestar stated plainly. "You have the whole clan here to help you raise your kits. They are a precious commodity these days. Ridgeclan is in need of new warriors. Just don't let your emotions get the best of you, ita best you stay calm. You dont want to risk the death of Ridgeclans future warriors."
Whitewhisp wants to growl with disgust. Her kits would not be used to further that mean old tom cats ridiculous war! They were not assets, and she hated how he spoke about them like they were objects to be used. Holding her tongue Whitewhisp dipped her head. "Yes Nettlestar." Dipping her head to him as he loomed over her she added. "Maybe I will just go hunting to easy my troubled mind."
"Good idea, but take another warrior with you for protection", Nettlestar added his yellow gaze lingering on her bent form before finally turning to return to his duties.
'I need to find Brighttail' her mind whispered as she rose from her bow and whipped around to continue her search for the black and white molly.

Fogstripe - w/ Pinewhisker
“You’ve been busy lately.” Fogstripe had slunk up quietly behind Pinewhisker the moment he had noticed the larger tom enter camp, and now spoke up after looking him over for a moment. “Compensating for something?” He added teasingly. Though his voice lacked any sinister tones, there was certainly a hint of something accusatory in there.
Everybody’s business was Fogstripe’s business- it was a fact of life within the clan. You didn’t keep things hidden from him for long, and he had a habit of sneaking around to satisfy his curiosity. Pinewhisker was no exception, and he was wuite happy he’d poked his nose into that little situation, since it now gave him exactly what he needed to work with.
“Surprised you’re working so hard. I mean, don’t you have better places to be.” He had dropped his voice low to make sure nobody else was listeningin as he sat next to Pinewhisker, curling his tail around his paws neatly, his eyes sparkling with faux innocence.
Brighttail - w/ Whitewisp
Brighttail usually kept herself busy these days with patrolling- she wasn’t the greatest hunter, with her large stature and heavy steps, but she made for an intimidaring opponent to see walking the borders. Besides, patrolling gave her an excuse to be away from camp, avoid auestions... and stay out of everybody’s drama. The only pbvious drawback was...
Whitewisp’s distress was tangible to her. The two had always been close, and Brighttail had become good at picking up on her concerns and her thoughts. She wondered if it was Talonsnatch again- the tom had certainly gotten his hair share of cuffs over the ears from Brighttail about his attitude. The again, with Nettlestar padding away, it might be about her kits again.
“Whitewisp.” Brighttail spoke as she approached, her expression already morphing from its usual state of casual annoyance to concern. “Did something happen? If it was Talonsnatch again, I swear I’m going to shred his ears.” She added the last bit spitefully.

@nettles sounds good to me I will start on my responses. FalconwingI made the second kit! Do you want Frecklewind to already know about leaving?)) Since Whisp doesn't even know yet probably not. And once Whisp finds out she will insist on telling Frecklewind, unable to leave another queen behind.

Pinewhisker w/ Fogstripe in Gorgeclan Camp
Pinewhisker was quick to look Fogstripes way as the tom slinked out of the shadows and approached. Great! He had the nosiest cat in the clan on his trail. Dappled pelt prickling with unease the tom quickly began to groom his pelt nonchalantly as if the pale brown and silver tabbys words meant nothing to him. "I'm just doing my duty to the clan like any warrior should", the tom cast an annoyed tone towards his fellow clanmate. "Maybe if you weren't so busy trying to stick your nose where it doesn't belong then it MIGHT be possible for you to have a successful hunt. These are hard times for the clan", Pinewhisker pointed out trying to take the focus off himself and not give anything away. Especially anything about his precious Brighttail.
((I love their relationship right now! Plus I think later down the road they will be best friends lol))
Whitewhisp w/ Brighttail in Ridgeclan Camp
When Brighttail finally appeared Whitewhisp shivered with distraught emotion and nuzzled into her friends shoulder. "Brighttail I'm not sure of how much more of the place I can take" she mewed pitifully. Pulling away the molly cast a few quick looks about them before settling her yellow gaze into her friend bright green eyes. "Come with me out of camp, where we can talk without prying ears." She whispered and turned to lead the way out of camp.
Whitewhisps long legs made quick work of the distance and soon they were out of the camp and off the beaten paths. "I'm so worried Brighttail! For one Talonsnatch is so fox hearted that I never want to see him again. Its official. We are no longer mates. And then there is Nettlestar and his ridiculous war! How can I bring kits into this life when its barely worth living as it is. The clans are starving and leafbare has barely begun. Besides at the rate Nettlestar keeps sending us into battle, there wont be a clan left to fight for." The molly went on nonstop, venting her fears and frustrations. It was nice to have someone to talk to who would rat on her to the deputy and the enforcers. "I don't know what to do anymore. I just feel so defeated", a tear rolled from her yellow eyes and dripped off her muzzle. Sitting down in a fluffy pile of leaves the shecat looked up to Brighttail, hopeful that her friend would give forth some words of encouragement.

《Okay guys @nettles Zz let's figure out which direction the group shall go. I have written up some options, but just know they are more of an outline that we can elaborate on as much as possible ● Option #1 North/Upstream - If you follow the river upstream you will head into the heart of the mountains. Steep rocky terrain, that will require skilled balancing and jumping. Some parts of the mountains are bare while others are thickly covered with coniferous trees. On top of the threat of slipping to your death if you misstep there are large eagles, mountain lions, and lynx that hunt through the territory. There are also small tribes of cats that live here as for if they are friendly or not that would be something you'd have to risk. There are paths that are manageable but if you don't make a quick pace you risk getting trapped in the mountains due to the thick snow that quickly piles up closing off the pass. There would be no hope to reaching the other side of the mountains until the first thaw if that happens. Definitely a dangerous journey but it is said that on the other side of the mountains is lush prey rich valley untouched by twolegs. ● Option #2 South/Downstream - If you travel downstream out of clan lands you will quickly run into a massive tangle of twoleg villages. The quickest route would be to cut through the village versus spending the whole winter season trying to skirt around the outer edges. The risk of starvation is a big threat due to lack of prey, and sickness if you cant find clean water. However, if you know where to look and dont mind rummaging through twoleg tins surviving in the twoleg place is possible. There is the threat of hostile cats, dogs, and twolegs (specifically The Catcher AKA Animal Control). You also risk crossing over many busy thunder paths. This journey has it's fair share of dangers as well. It is said that on the other side is a beautiful forest and just past that is lots of wide open rolling hills that are rich in prey. ● Option #3 East - If you travel east you will run into a massive marshland. Wet and boggy, if you dont stick to solid ground you risk drowning a horrid muddy death. It is easy to loose your sense of direction here due to the fog that seems to constantly loom over it. Because it is leafbare, if you dont make it a priority to stay as dry as possible you can risk freezing to death. However once it's cold enough the marsh ground will freeze solid and you can make quick work and pass through the marshlands. There are few cats that call this place home, however that doesn't mean there are no threats. This place is plagued with birds of prey and coyotes that will eat practically anything. On the far side of the marshlands is a lake that will mark its end with rich territory filled with beautiful riverlands. ● Option #4 West - If you head west you will walk through the rocky foothills of the mountains. One would need a set of hardened paws to take this path, or risk raw and cut up paw pads. This path is dangerous due to the large pack of wolves that patrol these foothills. You would need to be able to run and climb as fast as possible if you come across these vicious hungry beasts. There are also bears and lynx throughout these woods. Prey would rich along the way, just make sure you dont jump and sprain a paw or break a leg due to the rocky landscape underfoot. If you travel far enough you will eventually leave wolf territory and run into a thick rich coniferous forest that has prey running strong year around. We can either decide now or wait for all the clancats to come together and decide which path to take.》

Oooo, hard choices. I like option 1 and option 4 best. The rocky hills and such would be a good place to hide even more threats (such as with Mousekit's plot and such) All of them are good though Option 1 is my favorite. The valley on the other side could hold different types of habitats and would lead to more diversity within the land))

Yeah I love all of them lol after writing them all out I'm unsure which one I will pick. They would all be interesting to roleplay out for sure. And I wont make any more characters until I know which way they decide to go, as my new characters will have to be based off the land they come from. I am very tempted for option 1 so I could make a tribe cat to join them.... but it would also be fun for them to take option 2 and travel through the huge twoleg village.. maybe run into a deadly group of alley cats! Ughhhh so many exciting options! I will wait to see what @nettles says

((i actually rlly like option 2 since it allows for interaction with cats of all varieties (kittypet, loner, etc) along with providing other threats like rats, dogs, monsters, twolegs, twoleg poisons, etc. maybe even a plotline where one of the queens is captured by twolegs that wants to keep her as a pet and the others have to rescue her? maybe even get kittypet help rescuing her))

Fogstripe - w/ Pinewhisker
“I’m a fine hunter, sweetheart. In fact, I was out hunting the other day, and I had a few good catches. And I’m not just talking about prey.” Fogstripe was always evasive, but he was laying it on pretty thick this time. He wasn’t sure how much he should say when they were sitting right in camp, given how many rules Pinewhisker was breaking, but he really, really wanted- needed- all the details.
Not just for the satisfaction of his curiosity, though that was certainly a factor. No, what he really wanted out of this was Pinewhisker’s admission. That would open the conversation to what Pinewhiskercould do to make him not tell... and Fogstripe knew exactly what he was going to ask for. This was exactly the opportunity he had been waiting for, ever since Stormstrike had been torn open in battle.
Brighttail - w/ Whitewisp
Brighttail listened quietly, her expression shifting from concerned, to solemn, to something dark. Her claws flexed lightly as Whitewisp spoke, and she took a moment to breathe in deeply when the queen had finished, calming herself and deciding on her answer. She hadn’t asked Pinewhisker, but now... well, he would understand, surely?
“The come with me.” She kept her voice low as she leaned in, nervous about being overheard. “Pinewhisker and I. We’re leaving. There’s nothing here for us. We’ll be traveling somewhere far away, where we can live a better life, without all this constant battling and the foxhearted, bloodthirsty fools it’s created.”
Of course, before she left, surely she should do something about Talonsnatch? She chose not to mention that bit to Whitewhisp. The younger she-cat had always been too sweet for her own good. Even if Brighttail only planned to intimidate the tom, she’d likely have some form of objection.

《Oh I do like the idea of atleast someone in the group being captured by the twolegs! Plus being around twolegs would be good for Mousekits secret plot as well. So option # 2 it is! Eeeeeee! This is so exciting! Lol okay I'm typing up my responses right now 》

Pinewhisker Camp with Fogstripe
Stopping mid lick the russet tom froze. Pulling away from his pelt Pinewhisker flicked his tufted ears uncomfortably. "And what exactly are you talking about?", the warrior growled lowly. The camp was practically empty due to patrols being out and about at the moment, and that was the only reason why he dared to question the pale tabbys meaning. It was obvious that he was hinting towards something but Pinewhisker was in denial that anyone could possibly know about him and Brighttail. He had been so careful! If Fogstripe really did know about him and Brighttail, he obviously was not careful enough. His bobbed tail flicked in an irritated motion as he cast a quick look about them before looking back at Fogstripe and prompted him to speak up with a head nod.
Whitewhisp Outside of camp with Brighttail
"Wait what?!" Whitewhisp exclaimed before quickly lowering her voice. Though they were in the forest there was nothing stopping a patrolling cat to over hear them talking and sneak closer. "Your leaving...?" The Molly's mind began to churn and it was obvious by the look that settles on her face. There was a moment of silence as she processed what her friend was saying. Leaving had never crossed the young felines mind, especially in leafbare with kits on the way. However if she were to be traveling with friends then it would be possible to survive such a journey. Happiness quickly masked her fear and uncertainties of the days to come and she curled her pale tabby plumed tail.
"You're right, there is no future for us but death if we stay. Of course I will come with you!" She meowed and nuzzled her friends neck affectionately. Brighttail truly was a great friend worth following. Just then her mind jumped to Frecklewind a fellow queen. "Wait, we cannot go without Frecklewind." She added taking a step back. "I know her heart, the last thing she would want is to bear kits for Ridgeclan only to have Nettlestar toss them into apprenticehood too early and have then die from harsh treatment. When are you leaving? Do I have time to fetch her?"

Fogstripe - w/ Pinewhisker
“Your nice new mate, of course. I love those white stripes on her tail- they’re just darling.” He gave a small rumble of amusement. He did fell a stir of pity at how tense Pinewhisker looked, but really, it was what he deserved for being so careless. But they were on the same wavelength now, so it was time to cut to the chase.
“I’m coming. There’s not point in me staying here, not without Stormstrike. I’m young, I know, and there will be somebody else... but there’s nobody worth having in this clan. All they care about is keeping their claws sharp.” He added spitefully. He knew it was shallow of him, that he had never cared until he was hurt personally, but that didn’t matter anymore. He was leaving, and there was nothing that would stop him now.
Brighttail - w/ Whitewisp
Brighttail gave a small sigh of relief, giving Whitewisp a small lick on her head. She wasn’t sure what she would have done if her friend had said no. Sure, it would be dangerous traveling during leaf-bare, but the season would discourage their more hostile clanmates from following, and Pinewhisker would help her provide for Whitewisp- he was an excellent hunter.
“Of course you can invite Frecklewind. You have to tell her today, though- we’re leaving tonight, under the light of the full moon.” She informed her. It was cutting things a bit close, of course, but she just had no clue how to tell her friend she had been leaving before. “And you have to make sure this stays between you and her. We don’t want to bring too many with us, or the traveling will be slow.”

《Tonight is the night that they leave and with the sun setting it is about time for them all to leave camp and meet up. That way there is no dilly rallying and the RP can progress 》 Pinewhisker In Camp with Fogstripe and Galepaw His heart practically stopped beating when Fogstripe spoke of his relationship with Brighttail. The fear that began to course through his veins about the clan finding out his deeper secret quickly turned to surprise. Fogstripe wanted to leave with him!? It was known that the young tom had taken the recent loss of Stormstrike quite hard but then again, they had all lost someone in this endless war. Still Fogstripe was a clanmate and the bobbed tail tom still felt a sense of love and loyalty towards him. It was quite sad, the warrior hadn't even told his own sister that he was leaving. Then again Sundapple was heavily under Duststars influence, having had the clan leaders kits and all. It was obvious that his sisters heart and loyalty was more towards her mate than him, and though his heart ached to leave her he knew it would be pointless to try to convince her to leave. Silence hung in the air as the dusk patrol returned and padded by. Once they past the russet tom finally spoke up. "I wish I could save the whole clan... but I know that would be impossible." Despite being blackmailed into having him join, Pinewhisker didnt have the heart to be cruel. Fogstripe only wanted to find happiness, same as him and Brighttail, and who was he to deny someone the same thing he longed for. "Come on then, let's go hunting", he meowed loudly rising to his paws making their intentions known to those around them. "We leave now" he meowed casting the pale tabby tom a hinting look. "I'm going to fetch Galepaw, meet us at the camps entrance", and with that Pinewhisker bounded off towards the apprentices den. Earlier he had instructed his apprentice to get some rest, promising to do some night hunting and fighting lessons. Those were obviously false promises, but the warrior couldn't risk informing such a young cat his intentions. He would tell Galepaw what was happening on the way. Reaching the apprentices den the sturdy tom called out. "Galepaw, come on it's time to go. I hope you got some rest, there is a lot I want to teach you about being out at night."

Whitewhisp Camp and camp outskirts with Brighttail and Frecklewind Zz "I'll make sure no one else finds out. You can wait for us here, give me a couple of minutes and I will be back with Frecklewind." Touching noses with Brighttail, Whitewhisp whipped about and bounded back towards camp. Slipping in silently the queen stuck to the shadows not wanting to run into anyone let alone be noticed. Soon she found herself squeezing into the nursery. "Frecklewind, I have something important to speak to you about" she meowed settling down next to the heavily pregnant she-warrior.
