Sunny frowned, he had expected the tom to react with less fire in his tone. Oh, well, he couldn't change what had already been said. "I'm afraid to say that you are far below the level of any cat here." He responded, not feeling it was true, but with Xenia so close to him, he had to be careful with his words. "No cat here would expect others to die for them. We care for each other more than you know. Isn't that right Xenia?" He added, glancing back to the white she-cat, his tail falling on her back again, as if to protect her. "Do you not remember what I said a moon ago? One of your clanmates died for your sake." He shook his head, as if it was a shame, really, it was a blessing that just made his life easier. The tom glanced to Xenia, a look of fake pity on his face, as if he felt guilty for telling the clan cat. He looked back to Eaglepaw, lowering his head to be at eye level with the younger cat. "Why would they want to risk the lives of their families for someone responsible for the death of two cats? I don't think hey will take a single paw step on our territory to save you. You have to come to terms with that." He straightened up, he wished Xenia would back off, but the she-cat seemed glued to him. Annoying. "Now then, let's get you home. Maybe if you come willingly, Gail would let you in our ranks? Wouldn't you like that? I can teach you to be just like me. You have nowhere else to go. Let us take care of you." He purred, his voice was friendly, but his expression, hidden away from Xenia, was taunting. Why not become like the cat you seem to hate so much?

(Oh I thought he was thinking of Stormy. I found it really funny though ) Xenia's fur raised up when Fluffy spoke about her group in such a way, trying to keep herself from letting out a warning hiss as to not interrupt Sunny, but one still managed to leak out. "What do you know about the group? The clan has been treating us like rotting food" She started, though it wasn't her real point "I will not tolerate such words spoken about my family, especially from a cat who doesn't even regret murdering one of them." She growled, tail lashing as she let Sunny continue to speak. She wanted to rant at this clan cat, tell him that he was wrong at every corner. Every cat in the group had more honor than Fluffy could ever hope to have. Everyone cared for each other and the proof was the fact that they attacked the clan the moment they found out about Jax's death. She was taken back by the suggestion that Fluffy should join their ranks, but couldn't find a reason against it other than her own personal feelings at the moment. She tried to think of something else to say, but she was still caught up on the insults thrown at the rest of the group.

Oakstrike padded back to the nursery, hoping to see Badgerclaw. Badgerclaw looked up at Oakstrike as he entered the shelter. "Hey Badgerclaw" he said, "What are you up to?" he asked. Badgerclaw smiled "I was just going to show the kits the camp, if you would like to help me" she said.

(It's so funny to read Fluffy in your posts haha)
Eaglepaw narrowed his eyes again, not buying into Sunny and Xenia's talk. As if those rogues had only a sliver of those morals they tried so hard to impress him with; where were those morals when they ruthlessly killed his mother? They were liars putting on a show. "I remember what you said." He hissed to Sunny, his tail lashing back and forth. "You all killed my mother and now you two want to put on a stupid show, as if you're so great and I am the bad one here?" He glared from Sunny to Xenia. Sunny's whispers only made him more suspicious of the act the golden tom was keeping up, trying to hit him where it hurts but not wanting the other rogue to hear it. He curled back his lips into a snarl. It kept surprising him just how fast Sunny could shift his mood. That couldn't be natural. He had to be careful. "I don't think so. You and I both know your group isn't accepting me. They'd rather kill me." He concluded from Xenia's expression that what he said was probably true. This conversation was going nowhere so the only thing he could do was run. In a split second he launched himself pas Sunny from his sitting position, aiming for the bushes. His paw hurt from the tumble he'd made before but the adrenaline pumping through him kept him running.

“I don’t remember killing anyone?” He questioned, looking at Xenia and shrugging. “My group had nothing to do with that.” Sunny reared his head back when the cat rushed past him. He released a groan, so annoying. This was all so annoying. He looked to Xenia and then started to chase after the clan cat, knowing if he didn’t, he wouldn’t hear the end of it. “Cut him off.” He told. Xenia, sure that the small cat would be swifter than the large tom. The golden tabby raced after the cat, gaining on him. The moon of lack of exercise and minimal food should be leaving the young cat rather weak. He barrelled through the undergrowth with little concern and attempted to pounce on the tom.

(It changes the tone quite a lot. I can understand why Eaglepaw doesn't like the nickname)
"Sorry for not knowing about her death? What do you want me to do here?" Xenia hissed. She wasn't keen on being pinned for a death she wasn't even aware of. If Fluffy had beef with the cat who killed his mom, then she would understand, but blaming two unrelated cats for her death was rude to say the least. It wasn't like she blamed the entire clan for Jax's murder, just the cat who, at least based on his actions, doesn't feel any remorse. The difference was the group cared enough to do something about the murder, while the clan seemed to not care enough to find the murderer of Fluffy's mother. Possibly they were just content to blame the whole group the same way Fluffy was. She was taken aback when Fluffy made a dash past them, though gave a quick nod to Sunny's order. She pushed on her hindquarters with as much energy as she could muster and sped after Fluffy. She angled herself a bit after piecing together how she was going to cut him off. She was prepared to tackle the tom to the ground if Sunny wasn't successful in doing so.

"Of course! I'm sorry to hear about the other three but I would love nothing more than to keep my kin safe." Wolfstar said.
"I can go get her." Thorn said before leaving before the others could speak up. He found the young cat strange and wasn't sure what to make of her.
Ollie takes a moment to compose himself before scenting the air and smells a shrew nearby. He crouches down slowly moves forward and leaps forward pinning the shrew down and uses his claws to kill it.
"Funny thing is he tries to act all serious but I can tell he still acts like himself if that makes sense." Thundershade said unsure if that sounded confusing or not. "I think he just wants to make everyone proud."
"I wanna see the camp." Briarkit piped up.
(Sorry some of these are short. My brain didn't want to work today and hopefully I got all the replies)

Smokekit couldn't hide her disappointment that neither of her sisters would rather stay and play in the nursery. She still stood up, even if she didn't want to go out she wasn't about to be away from her entire family, who knew when they would return.

Eaglepaw could hear Sunny barreling through the undergrowth with his large body from behind him. He was out of breath and his muscles cried for him to stop running. For what felt like a heartbeat he swung back his head to see where Sunny was - way closer than expected - but in that short moment he failed to notice Xenia had cut his path and he crashed right into her. It send both cats into a tumble on the forest floor. This was it. This was his death sentence. He tried and failed. Now they were going to kill him; if it didn’t happen here, they’d probably do it in camp. At least this torture would be over if he went to Starclan. His ancestors seemed pretty keen on having him join the ranks anyway. Could he still fight? Barely. He knew it was a lost cause.
————
Stormy had been frantically searching for the prisoner. She really really did not want to be the one who cost them their trump card. What would Gail do when she found out? She didn’t even want to think about that. In the distance she picked up some noise and her nose finally picked up the scent of that annoying clancat. It gave her some relief, however she wasn’t sure what she was going to find - more importantly who. Once she noticed Xenia and Sunny with the clancat she dropped her tail in shame. “I - I’m so sorry…” She stammered, her pupils still the size two moons.
————
Poppyfall nodded understandingly, somewhat getting what Thunsershade meant. The young tom had always been a bit goofy, trying to act serious was good but she hoped he didn’t lose the funloving side to him after all that had happened. “I bet he does. That’s a lot of pressure. Maybe we should keep an eye on him, just in case.” She meowed after pondering on it for a short moment. Her amber gaze followed the kits that ran around camp. “We might get to mentor our own apprentices soon.”

"Soooooo what do you guys do? Anything must be better than lounging about all day" she said, stading up and kneading the ground with her paws. "Ok kits, let's go" Badgerclaw said, standing up and walking out of the nursery. Twigkit had been outside the nursery, but never as far as their mother intended to show them. Twigkit scrabbled after her mother, with Oakstrike at the back of the family to make sure nothing would come.

Xenia rolled for a second, farther than she would like to. She scrambled up, turning to face the clan cat and noticed he was still on the floor. She still kept her guard up, fur bristling with a constant low growl between heavy breaths. Being so hyper focused on Fluffy, she didn't notice Stormy until she spoke up. Xenia blinked, relaxing slightly now that three cats were here. "Fluffy gave us the slip too; it's not your fault he tried to run away." She tried to reassure the other cat, though her eyes did not leave where Fluffy laid. If she did blame Stormy for what happened, it was very minor. It wasn't like she purposefully let the clan cat leave, so Xenia was content on pinning all the blame for this on Fluffy.
Smokekit lagged behind slightly, though sped up a bit when she got a bit too far away from her family than she would like. There had been many times she would follow Twigkit just outside the nursery walls, but without one of her sisters venturing further, she would never go any farther than a few tail lengths away from the entrance. She had met a few of the other cats who lived here, though most of them were brief and she didn't remember most of their names.

(Sorry that this took so long! Also this is assuming Eaglepaw is still on the ground.)
Sunny slowed down to a trot when the two cats collided, he continued to follow them as close as he could. When Xenia scrambled up, he walked up to the clan cat, pressing him to the ground by placing on of his paws on his back between his shoulders. When he noticed Stormy, he tilted his head and smiled, though it was clearly strained. He was nearing his limit with these cats, "it's fine." He mewed rather flatly. He then turned his attention back to the apprentice and sighed, tempted to unsheathe his claws, but with the two she-cats watching, he decided it was best not to. He looked to the two she-cats, "he's as slippery as a fish." He said in a joking way, a slight chuckle to his voice as he tried to regain his composure. "We are lucky that Xenia is so quick, I don't think we would have caught him otherwise." He added, an underlining jab at Stormy for losing him in the first place.

Badgerclaw walked over to a large pile of logs, in which there were several nests. "Now kits, this is the warrior den" she said, walking inside it, hoping nobody would mind "This is where your father sleeps, see if you can find his nest with your nose" she said.

(Don't worry about it anividche!)
Eaglepaw didn't struggle under Sunny's paw. He knew there was nothing left to fight for. He didn't stand a chance. This was his last try. His eyes followed from Xenia to Stormy. Who both looked bewildered in different specific ways. He just wished it all to be over soon. His tail twitched softly on the forestfloor, waiting for the rogues to make a move on him.
-----
Stormy felt grateful at Xenia's words but she was still tense about what would happen when they returned to camp. She cringed inwardly at Sunny's remark and she just hoped the two cats wouldn't throw her under the bus once they'd speak to Gail. Now they needed to get that annoying clancat back one way or another but she guessed they'd have to drag him. "How are we getting Fluffy back to camp? Do we drag him?"

"Well, we hunt, chat and occasionally play games with one another." Amber explained. "Basically, we do whatever we want."
"Yes go and get him!" Wolfstar said with a flick of his tail. He was eager to meet his brother's kit.
"I've always wanted an apprentice but I can't help but worry about them not listening to me." Thundershade said as he watches Badgerclaw and her kits. He didn't want an apprentice similar to how he was as an apprentice.

"What?" Poppyfall sat up at Thundershade's comment, her amber gaze met his with a hint of disbelief. "Why wouldn't they listen to you? You're an experienced and respecatble warrior. That alone should be enough to make them listen. Besides, your size makes you pretty intimidating as well." She grinned playfully, looking the tom up and down. Thundershade would be an exellent mentor in her eyes.

Xenia perked up at Sunny's praise. She was grateful to be useful in the situation rather than just getting in the way. She relaxed a bit further, allowing herself to look between the other two while keeping Fluffy in her vision. "If we need to, I think Sunny would be best for that." She replied to Stormy. She hoped that Fluffy would just come back with them quietly, but she didn't trust the fact that he wouldn't just try to run again.
Smokekit looked at the nests, they far outnumbered what were in the nursery. She wondered what it was like to sleep with so many cats in the same den. "I dunno. There are too many nests here" She said a bit grumpily after poking her nose a bit at the few nests that were at the entrance. She quickly got over this feeling and bounded back to her mother, looking up expentantly "Why doesn't papa sleep in the nursery, though?" She asked a question she had asked before, but she still didn't understand. He spent a fair amount of time with them, and she would love to be able to have both her parents close while sleeping.

"Because, I have warrior things to do, and if I stay in the nursery all day, that won't be good" Oakstrike said, nuzzling Smokekit's head. Twigkit walked into the den smelling the nests "Is it this one?" she asked, looking at Badgerclaw "No dear, but your close" Badgerclaw said.

Sunny couldn't help but let a prideful grin escape when Xenia hinted at how strong he was, "I'm sure that there will be no need for that." He told the she-cats, taking his paw off of the tom. He nudged him to get up, not wanting to waste time. The more time that they spent out here, the more time they give the clan cat to figure out how to escape, "come on, get up." He said, grabbing the tom by the scruff to help him stand like one would for a kit or elder. After he had lost his temper at the tom, he needed to try his best to regain the trust that Xenia had in him; and part of that trust revolved around being kind to Fluffy. He felt that the clan cat was too far gone to really bother with. He didn't mind though, he had been growing bored of the cat anyways. Besides, he was risking his pelt by helping the clan cat out whenever he could. Maybe a moon or two without Sunny's aid would make Fluffy realize the mistake he made when he didn't go willingly the first time. "Lead the way." Sunny told Stormy, figuring that it would be best for him to stay at the back.

"What if we all sleep in here then?" Smokekit asked, giving both Oakstrike and Badgerclaw a hopeful look. She quickly dropped the question, turning to Twigkit as she spoke and running over to her. Her interest in finding the nest renewed now that her sister was searching as well. "They all smell so similar, though" She complained, sniffing around the nests near Twigkit's guess one by one. She settled on a random one, sitting next to it "This one?"

Windstep nodded and ran off, following his sons scent. He found him in a random bush. "There you are! Come on, we nee to see my brother!" he said, gently picking him up. He rushed back to Wolfstar, dropping the kit at his feet.

Badgerclaw said "Oakstrike, would you mind telling them which one it is?". Oakstrike nodded, and padded over to a nest in the middle of the ones the kits chose. "You were all very close!" he said, giving each kit a lick on the head.

"Hello little one." Wolfstar mews looking down at the small tom. He takes his brother showing up as a sign of good luck. Lately, he had been keeping an eye out for signs that things were going well. Wolfstar wasn't one for superstitions but if it was from Starclan than that must mean something.
Briarkit sees Falconfrost and widens her eyes in surprise. She had never seen a cat look so big!
"Thanks." Thundershade mewed feeling his fur grow hot with embarrassment. "Suppose it's just nerves." He casually using his paw to flick a small rock. Thundershade finds himself staring at Poppyfall before realizing what he was doing and quickly turns away hoping she did not notice.

Rushingwater strayed in the camp clearing. Glaring at the where the leader usually makes their announcements. His teeth baring. That should be me up there! Not Wolfstar! Or Mudfoot! . Rushingwater snarled, his fury building into him. Desperate to kill them off, and lead the clan himself.

He padded around to see Wolftar. His tail twitched in satisfaction, wishing he could take Wolfstar out. But he couldn't, he wasn't alone. Hatred spun in Rushingwater's stomach. But a thought rushed to him as he saw Swiftpaw and Windstep. If I can take them out, Wolfstar would be devastated. Blinded with grief for his kin. Then possibly he could grow weak and I can take him out and his deputy. Rushingwater grinned, as he watched the cats from behind.

Swiftfox layed in the sun in the camp. Her fur bristling with warmth. As she let out a purr, relaxing. Her sore paws with thorns sticking under were gone. Her paws felt healed, and soft. She closed her eye for rest, as she lay flat. Like a hover-cat position.
