Amberpaw Amberpaw started to double back from the stone, this time taking a slower and more methodical approach. His rhythm stayed much the same for the whole trip, but it took him longer to reach the shore and the temptation to speed up and get there faster was tempting. Back where he started, he waited for a moment to allow his muscles a break. Feeling tired already, he plunged back into the water, churned his way over to the stone and brought himself back up onto it. "How long do we have to swim for our assessment again?" He meowed half to himself, realising he may have underestimated what an undertaking it would be.
Meadowsweet Meadowsweet pulled herself up onto a nearby boulder. "Well done!" She exclaimed, flicking water from her ears. "You've already got a good grasp on this." There was little in the way of criticism she could give him. He was better at this than most apprentices his age. "How do you feel?" Koipaw would have to swim for considerably longer for his assessment and so she wanted to monitor his fatigue. |

(Ohh itβs okay Spark, I hope your finals went well!)
βοΈ Tigerpaw nodded and slowly approached the tree she had caught the sound from. Her body was lowered into a stalking position. She made sure not to rustle any leaves or twigs in the process but once she reached the tree trunk she wasnβt sure how to continue. Should she climb? Her amber gaze travelled back over to Mallowpool for her next pointer.
βοΈ βItβs a lap around the island.β Willowsong meowed, she could see the young tom was getting tired. It would be good to return to camp soon and give him some rest. Theyβd follow up this training and swim every few days to make sure his stamina would get better. βDonβt worry about it, you still have time.β She assured Amberpaw and slipped back into the water herself. βLetβs head back, you did very well today.β The brown she-cat offered him a small smile. She hoped she didnβt seem too absent-minded to the apprentice, it was kind of their first impression of eachother in these new roles. Everything was changing. Once she stepped out of the water she waited for Amberpaw to catch up. She glanced back at him to make sure heβd get safely to the shore.

SunClan Ripplecatcher-Camp-Pinestripe Ripplecatcher licked her head gently. "Than tonight it is," he murmured. He was sad to see her go, but knowing that she would be safer where she was heading helped him feel better about the situation. "When do you think Willowsong will return?" It would be good to start planning right away on how to get Pinestripe out of camp and over to Moonclan as soon as possible, so that way they wouldn't be running it on the fly tonight. |

βοΈ βI guess she should be back soon, she was out training Amberpaw. I just have little faith in them having an idea what this means to me though.. so I donβt think they found a better solution. But I still want to hear her out.β Pinestripe meowed, a knot formed in her stomach. She didnβt look forward to talking to Willowsong. It was like she never understood her point of view, they were so different in many ways. βMeadowsweet offered to help as well.β She informed Ripplecatcher. βBut before I go I need to say goodbye to Tigerpaw and Amberpaw. I canβt leave without doing that.β It pained her to think about saying goodbye but everything had to be thought through now. Before Emberstar would get wind of their plans.

Amberpaw Amberpaw wasn't sure whether to be disappointed or not. He did want to head back to camp and rest, yet part of him wanted to continue practicing. Like she says, I have time, he reminded himself and jumped back into the water to follow Willowsong. Their first training session had done a lot to settle his nerves about getting a new mentor. To his relief, Willowsong had not been quite as stern as he has expected, and he was looking foreword to their next outing. "Is it hard being deputy?" He asked as they walked back, hoping she wouldn't mind the sudden question. |

βοΈ As the duo made their way back to camp a soft breeze swept through the forest, helping them in drying their droopy fur along the way. Willowsong perked her ears at the apprenticeβs question. βWell..β She paused for a moment, mulling her answer over. βIt can be sometimes.β Now more than ever. The she-cat added in her mind. βIt isnβt always easy to find the right balance between different opinions and doing the right thing.β She was glad Amberpaw seemed more mature. One of the reasons kits and younger cats made her so awkward was because she didnβt like talking to cats who couldnβt yet comprehend the meaning of things. She wasnβt one to do the βgoo-goo ga-gaβ talking or smother apprentices with compliments - it made her cringe. No, sheβd much rather talk to apprentices in the same way she talked to other warriors; without babying them.

Koipaw | with Meadowsweet
The apprentice was a bit winded after the swim "A little tired." he admitted, shaking his fur again to rid himself of the heavy water. Before coming to the island, he wasn't an incredibly active cat. The kittypet life was one of mostly relaxing in the sun and getting food handed to you in a silver bowl.
Mallowpool | with Tigerpaw
"I'll chase it down, you get ready to catch it." Mallowpool told the apprentice. Once the other nodded, she scaled the tree if a few scratches. She made sure she wasn't climbing it anywhere near their prey. Once up, she lunged at it from her position. The animal squeaked in horror and leapt out of the tree towards where Tigerpaw was hidden.

βοΈ Tigerpaw nodded at her mentor. It was an interesting tactic for sure. Her amber gaze followed Mallowpool as she gracefully climbed the tree. Sheβd have to ask her how to climb like that! At the squeak of the squirrel she scrambled hastily to her paws. For some reason she hadnβt expected it to be so quick. After she tripped over her paws she managed to regain her posture and took a sprint for the red creature. With a hooked claw she could about just get a hold of itβs bushy tail and dragged it towards her to deliver the killing bite. It wasnβt the prettiest kill, nor the most noiseless, but she was glad to have caught it. Hopefully itβs shrieks wouldnβt have alarmed every other animal around. With an embarrassed smile and the limp squirrel in her jaws she walked back over to Mallowpool.

Amberpaw Amberpaw looked away, in thought. "I see." No doubt, Willowsong had a lot to deal with as the deputy of a clan bereft of its medicine cat. The apprentice longed to ask her about Pinestripe and about the solution which would fix their current predicament, but he couldn't get the words out. He didn't want to pry incase it angered her. "Things are kinda scary right now," he admitted. "And, I don't think I've ever seen the clan so... " He trailed off with a small shrug and looked at her again. "It's impressive to me that you can keep a level head in situations like this - it's reassuring."Meadowsweet Meadowsweet nodded. "We'll need to train up your stamina," she meowed and looked towards the shore. "How about swimming back to the shore? Then, maybe we can head back. Unless you'd like to practice a spot of fishing whilst we're here?" Koipaw wouldn't need to have frequent swimming lessons, though it would be good to slot one in occasionally. His stamina would increase with his hunting and battle training too. |

βοΈ βIβm glad to hear that.β Willowsong smiled softly. It was nice to hear she was doing a good job, even if it didn't always feel that way. Amberpaw was right, these were scary and uncertain times and she was sure he worried about Pinestripe too. A part of her wanted to confide in the apprentice, tell him that Emberstar was slipping away in his own world and that it didnβt feel like he put Sunclan first anymore - but she couldnβt. She couldnβt tell anyone, it would cause panic and Emberstar himself would probably banish her from the clan. Just like Pinestripe if sheβd choose to leave. βIf you feel overwhelmed with everything or scared, you can come talk to me.β The chocolate brown she-cat glanced over to the ginger apprentice. βI know we havenβt talked much yet, but Pinestripe would kill me if I didnβt look after you while sheβs in the nursery.β She chuckled.

Pinkpaw | with Briarstar & Rosethorn
She didn't like the way Briarstar scolded her, but Pinkpaw did shut up. Briarstar was probably the only cat able to make the prideful apprentice quiet down for a while. When she was addressed again, Pinkpaw puffed up her chest "Of course, Briarstar is the best mentor. And she's smart." there was a warning to her voice. Briarstar was smart enough to catch something bad going on, so Rosethorn better watch what she say. Said in fewer words of course.
Rosethorn giggled , following next to Briarstar , who understandably put herself between the two . " You must be very lucky then ! " She nodded , " I can tell she cares for you , " The calico looked to Briarstar , who returned with a calm swish of her tail .
" I've mentored many apprentices in my lifetime , and I always hope they learn as much from me as I learn from them , " She momentarily rested her tail on Pinkpaw's back , though she continued to look at Rosethorn as she addressed her before turning to follow the slope that lead past the gathering place . " Emberstar won't be very thrilled to see us , that much is obvious - "
" Oh ? Why's that ? " Rosethorn tipped her head to the side , but shook it immediately , " I apologize , I shouldn't be prying ! " She chuckled nervously as though she were embarrassed to have even blurted it out . Briarstar gave a small shrug .
" Not your fault ... It's a long story . To keep it brief , Emberstar doesn't particularly like me , and won't listen to anything any cat has to say if I'm around . Just tell him you were seeking him out and were pointed in the right direction . If he thinks I have anything to do with this , he'll never accept my help , and his clan is in dire need of a medicine cat , "
She circled around to stand in front of her , " You were brought here for a reason , and I believe it's to help them . Please try to get him to listen , for his clan's sake . "
Rosethorn gave her a respectful dip of her head , " Of course , " before she looked back to Pinkpaw with a cheeky grin like some cool older littermate everyone wanted to be , " See you around , 'paw , maybe you'll get to show me some of your cool moves some day , " The out of place shecat waved her tail before turning and heading towards Sunclan's border , a dark grin slowly spreading over her muzzle as she distanced herself from the two Moonclan cats .
What a bunch of rabbithearts , Rosethorn could almost laugh , but she stifled it , They'll believe anything , won't they ?

Amberpaw Amberpaw smiled slightly at that. "I will," he promised, glad that his initial impression of the she-cat had been inaccurate. It was good to know that they had deputy who had the clan's best interests in mind. His feelings regarding Emberstar, on the other hand, were muddled like murky water. For some reason, the way his leader had been acting lately didn't fit in with Amberpaw's perception of him. Ever since he was a kit, Emberstar had been a reliable cat who always knew what to do, a cat who didn't leave room for his classmates to worry. With his concern still bubbling beneath his fur, the apprentice wasn't sure what to think. But... I shouldn't be so quick to doubt him. Just because I've never seen him handle a crisis like this before, doesn't mean that he doesn't have a plan. And yet, the warriors seemed worried too. Amberpaw sighed softly. "Tigerpaw and I are worried about her," he meowed in reference to Pinestripe. |

βοΈ Willowsong nodded understandingly. βI am too.β She sighed, shifting her blue gaze back to the forestfloor in front of them. βBut whatever happens, sheβll pull through. Iβm sure of that.β She wanted to believe these words, she really did. Saying them out loud helped to ease her own nerves about the issue as well. She dreaded the thought of having to talk to her sister soon. It would not be good news sheβd give her. The two cats neared the camp and her unease grew as the entrance came into sight. Her tail twitched behind her. She rested her gaze on the apprentice again, a thoughtful shimmer crossing her blue eyes. βYou should ask Ripplecatcher to join the dusk patrol tonight, you can take Tigerpaw with you.β She meowed, pausing before entering Sunclan camp. βMake sure you get something from the prey pile first. You worked hard this morning.β The deputy turned to walk into the clearing, quickly catching the sight of the swollen queen and her gray-colored mate.
π Thistlepaw had just returned from a trainingsession with Morningleap, heβd picked a small mouse from the freshkill pile. He sat down in a sunny spot, ready to dig into his pick of prey. The last moon heβd been feeling a little lonely, for some reason he hadnβt felt as social as he did normally. It might have something to do with the stressfulness of the last clanmeetings and the issues surrounding Sunclan. It waved into Moonclan, everyone talked about it. It made the young tom nervous, he liked the stressfree life they had β or seemed to have β moons ago.

Amberpaw Amberpaw nodded, letting her words sink in. Willowsong was right; she had to pull through. He and Tigerpaw were going to become warriors and when that day came, Pinestripe would be there to see it. They came upon the entrance to the camp, the young tom feeling reflective and a little tired. At his mentor's words, his ears perked and he raised his head back up to look at her. It would be good to spend time with Ripplecatcher and Tigerpaw who were likely feeling just as worried as he was. Maybe they could find comfort within each other. He thanked his mentor and padded off to the prey pile.π
Brightpaw Brightpaw, who had been lounging about, boredom radiating off him in waves, noticed Thistlepaw's return to camp. Aha! Someone to talk to. FINALLY. So many of the warriors were too serious for him to hold a conversation with and a lot of them seemed kind of irritated about the gathering. Brightpaw was irritated too but he didn't feel like talking about clan politics. That stuff was for warriors and thankfully, he was still an apprentice. "Thistlepaw!" He called, making a direct beeline for his fellow apprentice. "What's up?" |

Ember34 βοΈ When Willowsong made her way over to Pinestripe and Ripplecatcher, Pinestripe could already tell from her face she wasnβt bringing particularly good news. Her striped tail curled protectively around her belly. βWhat did Emberstar say?β Willowsong gave a soft sigh at her sisterβs question. βNothing changed. You will have to stay in camp. Iβm sorry Pinestripe, I canβt help you.β The deputy meowed and switched her pale blue gaze to Ripplecatcher. Pinestripe had already opened her mouth to protest but before she could say anything Willowsong adressed her mate. βRipplecatcher I need you to go on a dusk patrol with Meadowsweet. You can take a pair of apprentices with you.β With that the brown she-cat turned around, her tailtip flicking behind her. They could do with this set-up whatever they decided on. She didnβt want to hear about their plans, nor was she going to advise them to leave or to stay. Secretly she hoped Pinestripe would take this opportunity to leave to Moonclan. She'd picked up on Meadowsweet talking to Pinestripe, hopefully she and Ripplecatcher could take care of Pinestripe from there. βIβll see you around, Pinestripe.β She meowed over her shoulder, casting a last glance at her heavily pregnant sister. It wasnβt like she didnβt care about her, she just needed to keep Emberstarβs trust to hopefully guide him back on track. Which seemed to become wishful thinking, unfortunately. It didnβt change the fact she had to look after the greater good, look after Sunclan. Even if sheβd have to push aside her own feelings. Now it was finally time for her to take some much needed rest and curl up in her nest. She felt drained from the things that were happening around them in this past moon. Pinestripe sat there, a puzzled look on her face as she watched Willowsong walk away. It took her a moment to connect the dots; the patrol was actually a good way to get out of camp without Emberstar suspecting much. βI.. I guess weβll leave at dusk then?β She meowed, facing Ripplecatcher again. π At Brightpawβs voice Thistlepawβs thoughts trailed away. βOh, hey Brightpaw!β The apprentice meowed, glad to have someone to talk to. βHmm not much, just enjoying this mouse.β He smiled, gesturing to the limp piece in front of him. βWhatβs been going on? Did you have training this morning?β He asked and took a mouthfull from his prey. It was nice to have an energetic denmate like Brightpaw, it always brightened the mood. Though, he could imagine the tom being βtoo muchβ for some of his clanmates. Thistlepaw shoved the other half of his prey towards Brightpaw, offering him the last bite.

Koipaw | with Meadowsweet
He nodded "I can do that." he wasn't worried about getting back, but from what he heard he'd need to be able to swim for much longer. Once he was given the go ahead Koipaw jumped back into the water and started to head back. The swim wasn't too long, but he was looking a bit tired by the time they got back.
Mallowpool | with Tigerpaw
"Good catch! You almost missed it there, but as long as you caught it let's consider it a win." she jumped down from the tree, landing lightly on her paws "Good good. Let's try and find another and you can do what I did." her apprentice would need to learn how to climb the tree silently as well.
π
Pinkpaw | with Briarstar
Despite her best shot, Pinkpaw couldn't help but like Rosethorn just a little bit. She internally scolded herself for that, knowing that Rosethorn was not to be trusted and she shouldn't "Should we have done that?" she asked eventually, looking to her mentor "I don't think Emberstar will appreciate us sending a loner into his territory."

Brightpaw
Brightpaw shrugged as if it was no big deal. "I couldn't find my mentor so I went and did some training on my own." He finished off the mouse appreciatively and turned expectant eyes on Thistlepaw. There was no way he was going to stay in camp for the rest of the afternoon. "Right now, I'm so bored, I could swim to the mainland and back." Furthermore, an idea was brewing in his mind, a plan to improve the moods of his clanmates. As a result of winning their contest, he had gotten Pinkpaw to agree to help him out with a prank, but now his mind was set on something less self-serving. Perhaps he could get Thistlepaw and the other apprentices on board too. "Everyone's been pretty down lately, huh? Sad, angry, tired..." He trailed off, waiting for the other tom to agree with him so he could illustrate his master plan.
βοΈ
Meadowsweet
Meadowsweet swam back with him. Once they climbed back out onto the shore, she shook out her pelt. "Feel like heading back?" She inquired, happy enough with his progress to call it a day. More than that though, she was eager to get back to camp and check on Pinestripe. The queen would have made her mind by now or so she hoped. |

βοΈ βThanks!β Tigerpawβs meow was muffled by the squirrel in her mouth. She burried it under some undergrowth near the tree so they could be on their way to find another one. The thought of climbing made her a little nervous though. The view was surely wonderful but Mallowpool had made it look so easy, could she do the same? The last time she climbed a tree was with Amberpaw and it had been far from perfect. βHow did you learn to climb so well?β She asked curiously when she finished burying the fresh prey.
π Thistlepawβs ears perked in surprise. He trained on his own, just like that? Ofcourse Brightpaw was older and more experienced but Thistlepaw couldnβt imagine going out on his own to train. Besides, he didnβt think he could match Brightpawβs energy. Thistlepaw nodded at the apprenticeβs question, glancing around camp at the cats that sat around. None of them looked particularly happy. βWell, yeah.. I mean there have been better times I guess.β He meowed as his blue gaze returned to his denmate. Surely Brightpaw would be up to something, like he always was.

Brightpaw "Well, I was thinking we could do something about that, get everyone smiling again," Brightpaw mewed, nodding sagely. He was sick of the heavy atmosphere that had followed Rainfern's death, and later, Emberstar's refusal of help. If Starclan was looking down on them, they surely wouldn't be happy to see them all moping about. "What if we gathered up tons of shells, pretty stones, feathers, anything we can find - just like we would before a gathering - and smother everyone in gifts? If all of the apprentices worked together, I bet we could bring back tons of prey too and make it a feast." While Brightpaw's plan might come off a bit tone-deaf, it was clearly well-meaning. His eyes shone with his excitement at the prospect of going out and doing something. |

Sunclan Ripplecatcher-Camp-Pinestripe, Willowsong The tom twitched his whiskers a bit. He always found the two sisters relationship odd, but being an only kit in a litter, he felt he didn't have any place to be making such judgements. He nodded at Pinestripe's words. "Seems like it," he said to her. He thought over the two apprentices, should they take Tigerpaw and Amberpaw with them? He would need to speak with Meadowsweet on that.The gray tom remained by her side as he watched the entrance to see if the other warrior had returned yet from training her apprentice, |

π Thistlepaw sat up as he listened carefully to Brightpawβs plan. His icy blue eyes shimmered enthusiastically at the idea. βThat sounds great!β He meowed excitedly. Who could stay sad when there was enough food and gifts going around for everyone? It was a good plan to cheer everyone up but theyβd need to do a lot of work to make it happen. βWe should keep it secret from the warriors though, to make it a good surprise. Iβm sure Flashpaw would like to help too. And Pinkpaw, but I havenβt seen her around.β He glanced over to the apprentices den, unsure where his other denmates hung out. Maybe they were still out training.
βοΈ Pinestripe cuddled up to Ripplecatcher, feeling a bit more relaxed as she sat close to him while they waited for Meadowsweet to return. It was nice of Willowsong to create an opportunity for them to leave, or so it seemed. She knew this was probably the closest her sister could come to offering them help, the clan had always come first and family, well.. maybe not even second. It was so different from Pinestripeβs own personality; family always came first for her, just like it did with their mother. But then again, Willowsong had never been that close with their family. After Pinestipe became mates with Tigerpawβs father the sisterβs relationship had turned frosty at best. Something Pinestripe never understood.

He glanced over to the entrance. They could start without Pinkpaw, but somehow he didn't think his friend would be best pleased if she were left out of all the fun. "Should we leave straight after she comes back? She's probably still out training with Briarstar." In the meantime, they could tell Flashpaw what they were planning if she were still around.

Moonclan Flashpaw-Outside Aprrentice Den Flashpaw was licking at her fur, the she cat having spent most of the day in camp, much to her disappointment. But Wolfmist had seemed busy with warrior duties so the apprentice left her mentor alone. She perked her ears hearing approaching pawsteps and looked to see Brightpaw and Thistlepaw walking over to the den. The black tabby gave a wave of her tail in greeting to the two toms. |

As soon as he caught sight of Flashpaw, he hurried over to her and glanced around to check that they were out of earshot of any warriors. It would be no fun if the surprise were ruined. "Hey, Flashpaw, Thistlepaw and I have a plan," he began conspiratorially. "We're gonna collect a bunch of prey and cool stuff and surprise everyone with them. Make everyone happier, you know?" The black and white tom glanced over to Thistlepaw, then back to Flashpaw. "Want in? The more apprentices we have on bored, the better the surprise'll be."

She made sure to keep herself quiet but she couldn't help but bounce on her paws. "When are we gonna leave to do it?" She looked at Brightpaw curiously. "And where are you thinking of going?

Brightpaw Brightpaw tilted his head, considering. "I'd like to leave now, but Pinkpaw isn't back yet, right?" Ideally, they'd want a lot of time to gather everything up and waiting for Pinkpaw might take too long. "As for where we'd go, well, I'm pretty sure most patrols are back in camp so we won't have to worry too much. I was thinking we could split up into pairs - two of us catch prey, the other two collect trinkets...or I guess all of us could focus on one thing at a time?" He trailed off, wondering whether Flashpaw had any ideas of her own. |

Flashpaw seemed eager to join too. He smiled happily, it had been a while since the apprentices did something all together. βHmm maybe we could search for stuff near the camp entrance? That way weβd notice when Pinkpaw gets back, while still starting our plan?β The black and white tom suggested thoughtfully, though he wasnβt sure if they were going to find nice trinkets near the camp or if there would be some prey running around nearby.

Brightpaw "Ohhh, yeah! Good idea, Thistlepaw," Brightpaw mewed. It was a compromise, but who knew? Maybe they'd find something worthwhile nearer to camp. Cats were also less likely to question them if they poked around closer to home. More than anything, Brightpaw was happy to be spending time with his denmates. It wouldn't be too long until he moved dens so this was nice, like a sendoff before he became a warrior. "We'll keep an eye out for her and start things proper later." |

Moonclan Flashpaw-Outside Apprentice Den-Brightpaw, Thistlepaw "That will work," she said. "And we cn always move further away from camp when we do get Pinkpaw. Though to answer your question earlier, it might work to break into pairs when Pinkpaw is with us, so like you said one can be getting trinkets and the other group can be hunting. It will help get a lot of work done." She stretched her legs out a bit. "Thank you for including me Brightpaw," she said giving him a cheerful smile. |
