Vicky curled up her lips in disgust but decided against replying, Sunny would have his reply ready in a heartbeat anyway. She moved a taillength away from Fluffy, closer to the entrance of the den and lowered herself onto her four paws while she watched the clancat curled up in the corner. She didn't mind having Xenia there with her but she didn't exactly feel the need to be chatty either.
----
Gail's fur was as neat as ever once again and she'd filled her belly with a freshly caught mouse, significantly improving her mood. She hadn't seen Pumpkin around in a while and she needed to inform the she-cat about what happened today. For now she was content with the little peace and quiet she had. There were still lots of things to figure out, especially Fluffy's future within the group.

Crowpaw was glad that both him and Mudfoot had the same idea about getting him ready for his assessment. He guessed that even if he was busy, he was still thinking about his apprentice which made the whole situation feel a lot better. He sat down at the training rock, listening for just a second "What type of battle training" he asked, maybe a bit excited but he tried to keep his voice calm and even.
Briareyes hummed a bit "You probably did" She didn't want to sugarcoat anything with Silverleaf, she was old enough to take it straight "But it was a good answer. He was probably hoping for something he can quickly learn, you gave him something to think about" She hoped this gave Silverleaf a bit more confidence in herself because it wasn't anywhere near a lie. Plus it would do well for Crowpaw to be disappointed a bit more. Briareyes felt like Silverleaf would make a good mentor, but she didn't voice this sentiment. The she-cat would probably not take that compliment as she was now. She may have to bring it up a bit later.
When the topic switched to the battle plan Wolfstar brought up, Briareyes sighed. "I am conflicted" She sat down glancing where Wolfstar was just standing "I agree with getting him back, even if he has already joined Starclan he needs to know that we still care about him and tried." She could only imagine what the apprentice has gone through this last moon. "It is risky, possibly too risky, the warriors who are chosen need to be at their best. Sageflower and Owlpaw need to be ready for the aftermath as well." She paused glancing at Silverleaf "How about you? You asked for a reason I assume"
"We can talk about the walk later, maybe we can continue our conversation from earlier" Xenia said as her goodbye to Sunny. When he was out of the den, she could almost feel the silence fall on the den. Vicky seemed unwilling to talk at the moment, and it felt a bit nice. It gave her an opportunity to get her thoughts in order and try to stop flinching away from Fluffy's wound. It was better now that it was covered, she could still see a bit past the herbs and cobwebs when she glanced over but it was partially covered. Xenia sat down at the back of the den so she could see as much as she could. At least that way if Fluffy decided to run again she would be able to see his movement right away.

Silverleaf nodded at Briareye's words, unoffended by the bluntness. She listened eagerly to the older cat's response to her question, feeling somewhat at ease to know that her concerns were somewhat shared. When she was asked about her own opinion, she glanced around, making sure no cat was within earshot. It would be unfortunate if her opinions caused a rift in the clan, especially right now. When she felt as though she wouldn't be heard, she turned back to Briareyes. "The clan has experienced many losses, I worry that we risk more if we attempt a rescue." She admitted, her fluffy tail wrapping neatly across her paws. She knew it seemed cold, but she felt it was true. "I think we are underestimating our enemy; they aren't mouse-brained, they surely expect us to attempt to save Eaglepaw. Considering we haven't found his body, he probably has been kept alive, I'm assuming they will use him as a hostage for demands, or they have done something terrible to him as a warning." She added, her voice was full of cold logic, but the tip of her tail flicked back and forth, betraying her stone-like tone and expression. Surely the rogues were planning something, if they had killed him, it would make sense to show or tell the clan in some way. "Forgive me, I know it seems harsh; but the code states the clan must come before a single cat. I feel it would be best to follow that, as much as it hurts to do. I know mother would disapprove but... Feelings should have no place in this decision, that's what led to this mess in the first place."

Screechfang turns away from the clearing and looks out to the distant trees. He knew some of his clanmates were convinced Eaglepaw was a lost cause but he refused to believe that. At one point, he would challenge any cat who dared to say such things. Eaglepaw was tough and was most likely giving those rogues hell. Losing Eaglepaw would break him the same way losing Morningshine did.

"I can try to scold you in her steed." Briareyes tried to laugh a bit but it came out a bit flat. She could almost hear her sister's voice next to her bringing up how the clan cannot survive without treating each cat like they are precious. Briareyes did like the sentiment of not abandoning a single cat, even if it was naïve. "Every cat here is precious to the clan, the strength of the clan cannot rely on abandoning one of our own" She knew that Mousesplash would put it a bit more lightheartedly-her sister somehow managed to make even her own death lighthearted-but she just couldn't get the wording right. "However, we do have to make sure we aren't putting the clan as a whole at risk. Keep the clan before the cat as you say. Risks are expected, especially during times like these, but too much will only cause more grief."
Briareyes sighed again, addressing a part of what Silverleaf said that bothered her the most "I can't agree with your assessment that Wolfstar is taking this lightly. The clan has healed from the battle before he even brought up the rescue. If he was underestimating the rogues, he probably would choose to leave right away rather than waiting for the right time. Have a bit of faith in our leader, that is part of the warrior code as well" She hoped this would quell some worries, but it would probably take more than that to address all of her worries.

Rushingwater and Whitelily returned back at the lake. Whitelily knew she can trust Rushingwater, she believed in him she loved him. She even hoped Rushingwater loves her the same way. Despite how bad he treat her. She still loved him, but he showed no sign. So Whitelily kept it to herself and hid her feelings. "This better work, if the rogues see us again they'll kill us" Whitelily reminded Rushingwater. Rushingwater growled irritably, with a groan. "Don't act like i'm that clueless; I could easily kill them off. They have no fighting skills, I could even kill a kit if that's what they have to offer" Rushingwater sharpened his cruel claws into the soft earth. Whitelily smiled with pleasure, as they both padded among the bank of the lake. Unfamiliar scents of cats filled Whitelily's nostrils. With disgust she spat out coughing. But Rushingwater kept padding forward.
Ratscar layed on the flattened stone close to the lake. Sleeping and resting sideways unaware any cats coming. She felt calmed and relax near the water.
(Also this is a bit random, because Coyote was planning on hunting for himself buuut he got attacked by another living creature)
Coyote slashed at the hawks' wings. With all his strength he launched forward into it. However, the hawk anticipated him and flew to a different side behind Coyote. As it raised it's powerful talons stabbing through Coyote's back. Coyote staggered backyards, in agony. The hawk is trying to take him he needed to fight back! He turned around with all his might, making the loudest snarl he could ever make. And baring his teeth, he lashed his head forward at the hawk exposed chest. Biting into it's chest. The hawk screeched with pain. As Coyote felt blood filling into his mouth. The hawk released him and flew backyards. Screeching with fury, the hawk did nothing but turned around to fled. However Coyote wasn't finished yet, he wanted to keep that hawks feathers his own trophy for reward of fighting it. Coyote leaped at the hawk before it could take up to the sky. As he lashed his claws again at the hawks wings again. Slashing the other wing, as blows of feathers fell from the air. The hawk flapped away instantly with a flap of it's powerful wings. As it's cries filled the air and disappeared from sight. Coyote lay back, painting with exhaustion from the fight with the cruel creature he never felt accomplished. The hawk better not come again; since when hawks suddenly appear on the territory? He should warn Gail soon, but for now he should rather hunt for more other food instead of coming empty pawed.
Springtrap and Cheetahrunner sat close near the gushing river together. As they both lay beside each other sharing tongues. "Anywho- i've heard that Wandererpaw is approving through his apprenticeship. He's grown well after he bravely fight that wolf. I never seen them before, I would ask Wandererpaw but I hate to ask him. It'll bring bad memories, especially about his family" Springtrap meowed thoughtfullu gazing into Cheetahrunner's pretty sparkling eyes. The she-cat nodded with nothing more to say. She felt safe and secure when she's around him. "Some cats here think it's best he'll move to the elders' den. But I think he'll be a wonderful warrior soon enough, and same for Scorpionpaw. She needs to learn" Cheetahrunner meowed back to Springtrap. "I can help, tho i've never apprenticed any cat. I still have a lot of skills I can teach her. Especially patienc" Springtrap purred. Cheetahrunner glanced at him with a surprised look but looked away. "I appreciate the help and effort, but I think she's just fine" Cheetahrunner puffed her chest. Springtrap scoffed with laughter. "You're keeping up you're pride aren't you? I can tell" Springtrap teased her. Cheetahrunner let out a "tsk" sound. "I am not" she snorted. Springtrap rolled his eyes jokingly. "Don't take it for granted, I can help, give me a chance. Scorpionpaw would learn nothing but killing flies". Cheetahrunner faced him with a very low growl, but she hid her frustration. Why not let Springtrap help? Springtrap is the smartest and talented tom she've known. "Alright, fine" Cheetahrunner bat him gently with her paw with a smile. Springtrap purred with affection. "You look prettier when you smile Cheetahrunner" Springtrap said clearly. Cheetahrunner felt a fuzzy warmth feeling for the tom. She look away hiding her face, she was flustered baring her teeth.."Wow! Look how late it is.We should head back!" she stood up half embarrassed and padded away at a fast pace. Springtrap shook his head flicking his ear stilling smiling. "Typical Cheetahrunner keeping her pride" Springtrap said, they was love in his tone. As he padded after her.
Swiftfox shivered, she remembered now. Rushingwater was trying to kill her, she covered her ears from the pain. She needed to tell Wolfstar she needed to! But she needed to wait for Pearmoon to return with Sageflower. Her ears are in terrible condition, and her nose is hard to breathe through. Her pelt was still soaked from the fight with Rushingwater in the water. But now she knew where the rogues location is at.

(Hey HawkEyes I was unsure to ask for your permission for adding the hawk? Cause I thought I didn't have to because only Coyote is dealing with it, but if I needed to ask for permission i'm sorry if I didn't and I can delete/edit Coyote's POV to something else simple if you want)

Pearmoon rushed into Sageflower's den. "Sageflower! I need you." She meowed urgently, hoping the she-cat wasn't busy with something else. "I found Swiftfox on the shore of the lake. She almost drowned. She's still in the forest." The cream she-cat explained quickly, ready to take the medicine cat back to the place where she left the warrior.

"Okay, I'm on my way. Owlpaw stay here in case someone needs help." Sageflower moves around her den grabbing a few herbs that she might need to help Swiftfox. She turns her attention back to Pearlmoon once she was done. "Lead the way!" She muttered through a mouthful of herbs.

Pearmoon nodded gratefully and quickly turned out of the medicine cat den. She lead Sageflower away through the camp entrance, running back to the place where she left Swiftfox as fast as she can. While running she kept an eye on the medicine cat, making sure she could keep up.

Swiftfox flicked her ear to the sound of heavy paw steps ahead. Trying to clear her mind from the pain. When she was underwater being crashed under by Rushingwater. There could be a chance Rushingwater pushed her deeper to have her ears being filled with water. Maybe that's why it was hurting? She tried breathing through her nose, but it felt clogged.

Sageflower followed behind Pearlmoon though the warriors was faster than her. However, she only lagged behind a little bit. She hoped that Swiftfox wasn't to far gone.

Pearmoon finally reached Swiftfox, relieved to have found her at the same spot she left her. “We’re here.” She meowed, obviously Sageflower could see that but it was more so as not to startle Swiftfox. Her green gaze travelled from the medicine cat back to the warrior, hoping something could be done to help Swiftfox with the pains she was having; she didn’t look too well.

Mudfoot shrugged and thought for a moment, “let’s work on your defensive moves, like say I pounced at you, what would be your defense?” He asked the apprentice, half tempted to jump at him without a warning. But he decided not to, given they were training and not fooling around. “So I will come at you several different ways and we’ll see how your defense is,” Mudfoot ordered and awaited Crowpaws answer before beginning.

Swiftfox stared at Sageflower and Pearmoon with gratitude. "Thank StarClan, your back" Swiftfox responded with a dry raspy purr. But at this moment from remembering should she tell Pearmoon and Sageflower..? About the terrible occurs when Rushingwater betrayed and lied about Wolfstar and the rest of the clan. And tried attempting murderer to kill Swiftfox by simply trying to drown her.
Her expression was unsure. Without thinking she opened her mouth. "Rushingwater" Swiftfox said randomly, but she closed her mouth shut immediately.

"My name is Rosekit, it's nice to meet you!" Rosekit said happily. Snowfeather watches them happy that Rosekit was making friends. "My name is Snowfeather, I'm the mother of Rosekit and Shellkit." "Impressive for at least almost catching it." Thundershade said twitching his whiskers. "Instead of looking down just look ahead and mind your steps. Go back into the crouching position." "Hi Rosekit, hey Snowfeather" Swiftkit said "I guess I'm staying in here now". He trotted to the center of the den sniffing around for a nest. "Thanks" Patchpaw said, crouching down. She whipped around trying to find more prey, when she scented a mouse. She crept across the ground, trying not to step on any branches. She got close to the mouse, tensing her muscles she leaped after it. CRUNCH, she landed on the mouse killing it in one bite. |

Scorpionpaw snored up a storm in the apprentice den. Unsually Cheetahrunner would stop training early than other mentors sometimes, it's longer. But Springtrap seems to be interfering with Cheetahrunner. They both act like a pair of a awkward old couple everybody notices it! Scorpionpaw is getting frustrated that Cheetahrunner loves Springtrap is getting in her in her apprenticeship and being warrior. It was very obnoxious, cats love each other too much it's blinding them! Scorpionpaw hated love, but she knew eventually some day she'll fall over heels for another she-cat. Scorpionpaw woke up to the thought, and growled. If Cheetahrunner is so focused on Springtrap then Scorpionpaw can prove her own honor by herself. She stomped out of the den, and crouched low to the exit of the camp. Nobody can notice this she-cat escaping through the camp because everyone is so busy.

(FYI- Sunny is just hanging out at the rogue camp, Blackclaw is by the warrior den waiting for wandererpaw)
Silverleaf blinked, but catching the humor that Briareyes attempted, "very well." She stated, intently listening to what Briareyes had to say. Silverleaf always felt like she related better to her aunt than her mother. Her mother was a very kind, benevolent cat- which ultimately caused her death. The silver she-cat tilted her head slightly as her aunt spoke, "that's true." She mewed when the warrior was done speaking, "I should take better care of how I speak, I did not mean to come off as so ignorant. Wolfstar is a good leader, I know he would calculate a risk before he takes one. I just worry, that's all. Crowpaw seemed intent to go." She sighed, her eyes distant as she thought. She did not know much about the rogue camp so she could not picture the layout, she was unsure if she would even be chosen to go. Her leg was healed, only some soreness remained; if Crowpaw was attending, she would want to be there to protect him as much as she could. She was not as strong as most of her clanmates, it made it difficult for her to act as a guard or defender. Hunting and stealth were her main skills after all. "I still have much to learn; sorry."

"Well done." Thundershade mewed with a flick of his tai. "Not bad for your first time out hunting. Now, there are different techniques to catch different kinds of prey. The way you catch a mouse might not work when going after a bird or rabbit. In time, you will learn though."
Wolfstar takes a few steps back as Swiftkit sniffed around. He trusted Snowfeather to keep an eye on him. Rosekit watches Swiftkit unsure of what to do at the moment.
Thorn clears his throat and takes a step towards Gail. "Sorry to bother you. Um a kittypet came to the group and you probably want to meet her. She is kind of strange though." He warned.
"You can explain yourself later eat this!" Sageflower mewed as she sets her herbs down and uses her paw to push a yarrow leaf in front of her. "This will make you throw up any water you might have ingested."

Wandererpaw waved goodbye to Rainpaw, and padded towards the warriors den. Seeing Blackclaw close near the den, made him anxious he didn't want Blackclaw mad that he overslept. "Hey Blackclaw, sorry to keep you waiting" the apprenticed limped towards the tom, blinking with his right eye to see him.
Swiftfox nodded, and dipped her head down and swallowed the yarrow leaf. Feeling the bitter taste, Swiftfox flinched. Her stomach felt weary. A very amount of long seconds had pass, as unexpectedly she spat out water from her mouth. She coughed up more gagging, until all was left was water dripping on the grass. But the water faded away into the soft earth.
Coyote leaped back into the camp, with a shrew dangling from his mouth. The pain on his back from the hawks' attack withered away, it was slowly healing. He dropped the tiny shrew near the gathered of the fresh-kill pile. And looked around for Gail, he should report sights of the hawk on the territory. "Gail!" Coyote snapped, hoping Gail would listen to his call.

Swiftkit looked at Rosekit, expecting her to say something "So, why do you have Rosekit as your name" he asked, trying to start a conversation. |

Parsleypatch nodded at Oakstrike and Morningpaw as each of them spoke. She followed them out of the camp. She sniffed trying to pick up the scent of prey. She could smell the scent path she had followed to the mouse nest earlier but knew there wouldn't be any mice still there. "That's the way I hunted earlier. There wasn't much prey around. Edited so she can be interacted with easier.) ) |

Blackclaw shook his head and stood, stretching out for a moment before standing straight, "not a problem, it is better to be over rested than under rested. You'll just have to train extra hard today to make up for it." He said casually a slight laugh in his tone, unworried about Wandererpaw sleeping in. He knew that the apprentice's worries were valid, most other mentors would have met him with a scolding. The apprentice was a bit behind due to the accident, but was catching up. He was a hard worker who always seemed intent to prove himself, Blackclaw didn't feel that he was in a position to complain if the cat slept in for once. The apprentice was having to work much harder than most, Blackclaw was constantly having to think of how the young cat could compromise for his deafness and missing leg. The black tom found that he had been more busy than he ever had been, but he was finding it fulfilling. "Since the weather is nice, we will go to the training rock today. I want to work on your strength in your core and leg." He explained, motioning to walk towards the camp entrance. He glanced down to the cat and gave him a friendly smile, hoping to ease Wandererpaw a little bit.

Swiftfox gagged up a little more water. As little drips of water pour from her muzzle. She wiped her muzzle with her paw. "Uhm, thank..you" Swiftfox sighed menacing. She looked at the two she-cats thankfully.
Wandererpaw lashed his tail excitedly. "I'm so excited! Let's head there straight away, i'll be the best warrior that'll ever walk in the forest once I train!" Wandererpaw hopped off his three legs. He hated his mauled leg, but he knew that if he had Blackclaw as a mentor he'll be sure to succeed. He had the best mentor in the world. He doesn't let his mauled leg, and his injuries and being half-blinded stopped him. His hearing may be slightly bad due to be ripped off. But he gave that wolf a signature scar that it won't forget. That wolf will look at that scar, and be reminded that scar was marked as bravery from the strongest future warrior in the forest! Wandererpaw smiled at the thought.

"Well then, I guess we should go the other way" Oakstrike said, sniffing the sir for any prey. "Well I can't smell anything but this way seems as good as any" he continued, walking towards the forest. |
