Ratwhisper decides to leave the herbs and follow after Mistpaw. He wondered if someone was hurt or if there were some danger nearby. He prepares himself for the worst and ready to fight just in case.
Badgertooth pricked his ears at the mention of a dog. "That's not good." He said wondering if they ought to report that to Silverrose. "Let's get a closer look but be sure to stay quiet." He starts heading in the direction mainly to see what the dog looks like.

Mistpaw walked his way to the edge of the trees where the scent was coming from. He barely stopped himself from gasping when he saw what looked like a family standing in front of him. It looked almost like a tom and she-cat with their 3 kits. He paused instead of walking up to the to scope out what might be going on.
Petalpaw trotted toward the scent of the dog ready to fight if she needed to. She got nervous the fresher the scent got until she caught sight of it. It circked and barked up a tree until she heard a twoleg come stomping through the dorest yelling and grabbed the dog by the thing on its neck and hauled it away still barking.

"Sure!" Brightpaw said with an enthusiastic nod. He wasn't sure if he could explain it all, as he was overly familiar with the whole clan-thing while Willow probably had never heard of such a thing, but it was worth a shot. "Okay, let's start with the camp. It's what this whole clearing is, with all its dens. A lot of cats can live here and thanks to how it's set up it's difficult for predators to get in. As for the clan, I guess you could say it's a large group of cats, each with their own duties. It's almost like a huge family, considering how we all look out for each other, especially the youngest and oldest members." As he explained he paused every now and then to let Willow try and understand all of it.
He nodded towards the old fox burrow. "That over there is the nursery. It's where the queens give birth and raise their kits until they're six moons old. The kits aren't allowed to leave camp but there's more than enough room for them to play here. It's also one of the best-protected dens." Then he turned towards the next den.
"At six moons old kits move to the apprentices den. An apprentice learns how to hunt and fight and will get more familiar with our territory. We also learn about the warrior code. It's... well, pretty much the laws and rules we live by. As for the less fun part," he rolled his eyes and gave an amused snort. "We are expected to bring fresh moss for the elders and kits. And we have to rid the elders of tics." Once again he waited so Willow could process everything he told her. Then he flicked his tail in the direction of the warriors den.
"Beneath that tree is the warriors den. Once a cat is about twelve moons old and has shown they can hunt and fight well enough they become warriors. That's what most of the cats here are. They hunt for the clan, fight off predators to protect the kits and elders and check our borders every day. Some warriors get to train an apprentice of their own. And the older and more experienced a warrior the more respected they become."
Brightpaw glanced at the elders den. "I mentioned elders a few times. That's anyone who has become too old to run around our territory and wishes to retire. As they have served the clan for many moons they are highly respected. They pretty much lie around all day and watch us youngsters. Sometimes a cat has to retire early but there's nothing shameful about that. All in all I'd say it's a pretty relaxed life elders have."
After another pause he nodded. "Well, that just leaves two more dens. One is for the medicine cat. That's someone who knows a lot about herbs and how to treat injuries and illnesses. They are very important for the clan. They also communicate with our ancestors." He left it at that for now as he felt it would be difficult to explain StarClan to Willow. "And last but not least we have the leader's den. It's where Silverrose lives and, like the name suggests, she's our leader. She will have a lot of decisions to make in the future, like who of the older cats gets to train apprentices like me." Storm was tempted to accept Apple's offer. It would definitely be easier than having to face the kit. He knew that the news would dissapoint Brightpaw and devestate Willow. But he just shook his head. "Thanks, but it's alright. I'll go with you." If only one of them told Willow then there was a chance she or Brightpaw would seek out the other one anyway. "As harsh as it is, it's probably better if we both tell her. There'll be less room for doubt if both of us confirm it." Plus, judging by the nearby scents it seemed like Silverrose had left a few moments ago. If he was just going to sit around waiting for her and Windwhisper to return he might as well do something useful. Cenra nodded with a purr. "Whitekit sounds good too," she agreed. "The clan can definitely look forward to this. Well, probably not as much as you and Apple," she added with a grin, seeing how happy Snow was about all this. "Those kits will be raised well, that's for sure."

Willow nodded along trying to comprehend what it was that was going on. She understood the queens rasing their kits and the moving up to apprentice then warrior. "How do you become a medicine cat?" She asked
Feather nodded in agreeement to Cenra's statement. "There should be no problems raising them here. You'll always have extra paws to help you out."

Apple nodded and walked into the camp and up to Willow and Brightpaw. The young cst was just asking a question. He sat down across from them and sighed quietly.
Snow nodded. Being in the clan is going to be very helpful when I have these kits." She nodded and layed down feeling winded. "Its gonna be alot of work."

Cherry followed Moleshade and Melonburr. Watching the surroundings curiously as they walked. The two seemed decent from what she could gather in the conversation, and if she choose maybe she could learn more about the pair.
Hawksky flicked his tail, sending a glance back to his sister. "Are you able to walk yet," he muttered. "The more we are out in the open like this the better chance at getting attacked," he muttered. Marshbrook shook her head. "Just let me rest a little longer," she said to her brother. She could understand where he was coming from, she just wished the fox brain would understand she needed breaks. Timberpaw stalked off not wanting to listen to the two warriors argue but paused, when he caught the scent of nearby cats. Following it he got close to the bushes where Mistpaw was, a small growl formed and he leaped forward hoping to knock back whoever the other cat was.
Sable let out a relieved breath when the mutt got dragged off by the twoleg. He stretched from the branch before jumping down from his perch. With luck the dog might get locked up. He shook out his fur and looked around for a better place to rest and think of what to do next.

Ratwhisper follows and sees the family up ahead. He crouches down and watches to see if they needed to step in or race back to camp and get help.
Badgertooth watched as the twoleg dragged the dog away as it continued to bark. He waits until they are gone before slowly moving forward. He glances up at the tree to see what the dog was barking at.

Moleshade proudly slips past the barrier of the camp entrance and walks toward where she had last seen Silverrose but realized she was gone. She waited for Melonburr and Cherry to catch up and sat down. "So I'm guessing you have questions." She said to Cherry.

Melonburr followed the two she-cats back to camp. He wanted to go back to Wrenwillow but he stayed to help with Cherry's questions.
Mistpaw was watching Marshbrook and realized she was injured. He went to turn and tell Ratwhisper when he was ambushed by Timberpaw. Being an almost full grown cat the other apprentice didn't knock him off his feet though he did stumble. "Hey" he yowled. He turned to face his opponent square on and realized it was one of the cats from the group he was watching.
Petalpaw stepped closer to the tree examining it like Badgertooth was. "Hello" she called up as she caught sught of Sable.

Mother Dark Rank Name: Maplepaw(shine) approximate age: 8 moons Description: A small red tabby she-cat with dark amber eyes. Maplepaw is a bit of a sassy she-cat. She strives for adventure and all the possibilities that can be offered to her. She wants nothing more than perfection and to be the best of the best. Sometimes, this gets to her head and causes her to become quite headstrong towards others. Maplepaw was born and raised into a clan called RainClan and found her way to RoseClan after the clan had disbanded and fallen apart. SN. (lilypollen) P.S. If you need me to make her a warrior, I understand!

Cherry looked around the camp. "How does a clan work for starters," she asked. She noticed all the other cats within already. "How big is it normally?"
Timberpaw lashed his tail out a bit. "Who are you," he growled out, taking a defensive stance. He eyes Ratwhisker, and backed up a bit. He hadn't taken into account of the fact the cats he scented could be bigger then he was.
Sable jumped a bit startled by the vvoice. He looked over at Badgertooth and Petalpaw. "Greetings," he said with a wave of his tail.

"Are you okay?" Badgertooth asked tilting his head. He hoped that the strange cat hadn't been up there for to long.
Ratwhisper remained calm thinking the young cat was just a little scared. "Easy, we are friends. My name is Ratwhisper medicine cat of Roseclam."

"By being trained by the current one," Brightpaw said. "So if any cat here wants to be trained as one they'll have to ask Ratwhisper and, if he agrees, he will discuss it with Silverrose. Oh, and even a medicine cat apprentice needs to learn how to hunt and fight. Just the basics though." He glanced at Ratwhisper's den as he spoke. "I hear it's not easy, training as a medicine cat. It takes longer than training as a warrior." Then he turned to look at the camp entrance, having noticed some movement there. He tensed up when he saw Apple and Storm walking in, half expecting to see a third cat with them. Once the two had walked over to them he glanced back and forth between the two and Willow. "Did you find anything?" He asked quietly but he could already guess that he would not like what they had to report.
Storm followed Apple into camp and sat down beside him as they reached Willow and Brightpaw. He averted his gaze, not wanting to see the disappointment they would soon show. "We did find Flora's scent," he said. "And we followed it as far as we could, but-" I'm afraid your mother doesn't want you to find her, little one, he added silently in his thoughts, trying to come up with a way to explain it in a less hurtful way.
"And once they're older I wouldn't be surprised if some apprentices or warriors played with them," Cenra meowed. " If the kits are curious and love to explore it will be hard to keep an eye on all of them but with so many cats around there will always be someone to watch them."

Mistpaw stepped back and tried to flatten his fur. "Ratwhisper is right. We are friends. We just wanted to scope out the situation before approaching." He explained to Timberpaw. He could tell that the other was pretty strong from the single attack ge had mounted and had no doubt the older tom was even stronger.
Petalpaw nodded to echo her concern for the tom's saftey. She sat and waited to see what his answer was.
Apple looked deflated as Storm started to talk when he didn't finish the thought Apple did for him. "As Storm said we found her scent. But it dissipated by a stream. We have no clue which way she went. I'm sorry." He leaned down to touch his nose to Willow's ear but drew back.
Snow nodded. "I plan to try to wrangle them by myself for the most part but as they get bigger they won't want to keep to their nest." She smiled as she imagined having her kits with her. "I'm sure they will be trouble." She chuckled then cringed when she felt another kick.

Timberpaw's ears perked up hearing clan cat names the tom relaxing a bit. He got hopeful when the other said they were a medicine cat. "So you can help my mom," he asked quickly.
Sable shook out his fur again. "I'm fine," he said. "It wasn't able to get to close to me." He observed the two strangers. He licked at his fur to try groom it better.

Moleshade thought for a second. "Umm well a clan works by following this set of rules called the warrior code. It has rules like protecting the weak and feeding those who can't hunt for themselves first." She said. "I'd say a clan is at least 20 cats of varying ages. But I think we have at least 40. And alot of us have traveled here from fsr off clans that disbanded or were destroyed becuase of twolegs."
Feather nodded and jumped up and down a little excited of the thought of not only being in a clan but that clan having kits.
Willow let out a wail. "But my mom." She whimpered. She didn't know what to do so she lay there frozen and silent. She wanted to lash out but knew these toms didn't make her mom leave.

(Ok, great thanks!)
Maplepaw sat in the clearing, currently grooming herself. She swiped a tongue over her backside. Enjoying the peace and quiet for once, she was aware that others were milling about nearby and attempted to tune everything out. Moments like these seemed rare for her. The red tabby turned her attention forward, fixing her amber gaze to nothing and no one in particular.

Apple with Storm, Willow, and Brightpaw
Apple looked deflated as Storm started to talk when he didn't finish the thought Apple did for him. "As Storm said we found her scent. But it dissipated by a stream. We have no clue which way she went. I'm sorry." He leaned down to touch his nose to Willow's ear but drew back.
Snow with Feather and Cenra Snow nodded. "I plan to try to wrangle them by myself for the most part but as they get bigger they won't want to keep to their nest." She smiled as she imagined having her kits with her. "I'm sure they will be trouble." She chuckled then cringed when she felt another kick.
Melonburr with Moleshade and Cherry
Melonburr nodded at answer from Moleshade. "I'd say we might get a few more new members from the loners nearby but if the clan gets too much bigger we might have to find a bigger camp." He chuckled a little at the thought of having to move right after finding the new camp.
Wrenwillow-Open
Wrenwillow sat in camp observing the other cats. No one in particular but rather the camp as a whole. She wondered if she would find some cats to make friends with since she was a bit of a snob when it came to friends.
Brindlepaw-Open
Brindlepaw went into the now dry apprentice den and started to spread the moss into nests. He at first made five for himself and his siblings plus Maplepaw and Brightpaw but then he made a few more because he heard Willow cry out. He wondered if she were abandoned cause a cat that old shouldn't be alone. He made up four extra nests with the remaining moss.
Mistpaw with Ratwhisper and Timberpaw
Mistpaw looked at Ratwhisper hoping he would say yes to helping this younger cat's mother. "What's your name and where did you come from?" He asked trying to collect information.
Petalpaw with Sable and Badgertooth
"Thats good." Petalpaw said. She looked over the tom in front of her and tilted her head to the side. "What's your story? How did you wind up here?"

Maplepaw noticed Brindlepaw organizing the nests from not too far off in the apprentices den. Curious, she padded over to check out his progress. “Wel, you seem good enough at this.” Her ear twitched as she sniffed a meow towards him, holding her head up to eye him. “I guess…thanks for that.” She continued, nodding towards one of the nests he had prepared for her…and of course the others.

Brindlepaw was startled by Maplepaw when she walked up and started talking to him. "I got a lot of practice making nests for my family when we were traveling. My siblings and I would take turns when we would stay in an area for a few days." He explained. "I'm Brindlepaw by the way."
(I'm gonna have him introduce himself since its their first night in camp and most cats don't know each other yet.)

Maplepaw snorted in reply, “Must be nice to have a family…I can’t remember mine…all I remember is being a part of some other clan…and then everything fell apart. Everyone left…” She trailed off, then shook her head. “Maplepaw.” She introduced herself nonchalantly.

Brightpaw crouched down beside Willow but decided not to move any closer, figuring that she wouldn't react well to it right after hearing the news from Apple and Storm. He looked up at the two older toms, wanting to ask if they were really certain about this but he didn't want them to think that he didn't believe them. He knew Storm well enough to know that they were telling the truth. The thought of Flora just leaving her kit behind still horrified him though. "Why would she do that?" he whispered but he didn't expect them to answer. There was no way to justify Flora's actions in front of Willow.
Storm sighed at Brightpaw's question and was grateful that he didn't seem to want an actual answer to it. Then he looked back at Willow. "I'm sorry that we couldn't bring better news for you," he said quietly. He wondered what would become of her now. Silverrose had said that she would let her join the clan if her mother didn't turn up. He would definitely tell her that but for now he would just let her try to process being abandoned by her own mother. He glanced at Apple, hoping he also wouldn't speak up too soon.
Cenra shook her head with a laugh. "Most kits are, or so I hear," she purred. Then she glanced at the nursery. "You'll probably spend most of your time in there for a while. Just make sure to not do anything tiring." With another grin she added "But you know, these will be the first kits born in Roseclan. That makes it even more exciting."
