Hawkstar stares at them for a bit before allowing his body to relax a little. "It's nice to meet you both. Seems fate has led you to Cinderclan. Has anyone told you what a clan is and what we do?" He asked unsure of how much the kits were told. Fawn smiled widely. "It's nice to meet you too. I haven't heard much about the clan yet but you all must protect one another!" She paused and took a breath. "And you must be extra important too." She spun around in an excited circle and then sat down. Doe sat back and watched her sister and Hawkstar. |

Sootwing had moved out of the den to pick a piece of prey from the pile. He had just settled down to take a bite of the small mouse in front of him when he caught Hawkstar moving to meet the kits. His eyes followed his leader with interest, wondering what he'd think of the two small bundles they had brought into camp. Would Doe show disrespect to the leader? Or would Fawn annoy him with her eagerness? Subconsciously he caught himself worrying about them, his tail flicked annoyedly at this realization.

"That we do." Hawkstar sits down in front of them and wraps his tail around his paws. "Every cat has a roll to play in a clan. There are warriors which are cats who hunt and protect the clan. Apprentices are cats who train to become warriors. Since you are now apart of this clan, at six moons you will be given a mentor and train to become a warrior. However, if you grow older and decide you don't want to be apart of the clan, you can just leave."

Fawn bounced some as Hawkstar spoke. She was obviously excited. "Wait does this mean we get to stay?" She squealed. She bounced higher and faster waiting for an answer.
Doe rolled her eyes at Fawn's excitement.

Hawkstar nodded his head slowly. "Once you are older. I will check back in to see if you still want to say. I will let everyone know and you will be given the names Fawnkit and Doekit." He hoped that these two would grow bored and eventually leave. However, they may end up being useful.

(Poor Hawkstar your talking to the kit that causes your death. We should probably make a plan for that. Figure out how you want him to go Hawk.)
Fawn bounced some more. "I never want to leave these new friends I've made!" She chirped excitedly. He nearly tripped over her own feet as she jumped around excitedly. "I want to play a game" She said.
@ everyone do we want to timeskip to a new moon? Give everyone a fresh start?

Cloudpaw had just finished grooming herself in the morning sun when an idea popped into her head. The mentors seemed busy and to still contribute to the clan maybe a few of her denmates would be willing to go on a hunting patrol with her. They could share techniques and of course chat a lot - her favorite part. Brightened by her new plan she padded over to the apprentices den. "Hey! Anyone up to go for a hunt? If we come back with some good prey we might get our warriornames sooner." She chuckled, it was more of a joke anyway - Hawkstar wasn't going to make them warriors for a while. Not even Heronpaw who seemed more than ready.
---
Ripplepaw stretched in his nest and stifled a yawn. Why did Cloudpaw always have to be so loud? He glanced over to Willowpaw, awaiting her answer. Hopefully he could stay close to her, he enjoyed her company very much. The apprentice quickly looked away, hoping Willowpaw didn't catch him staring.

Heronpaw perked up at the sound of hunting. "I better go with you guys so you don't get in trouble. Since I'll probably be a warrior any time now." He boasted. He flicked his torn ear and got up to stand next to Cloudpaw.
Willowpaw was startled awake at Cloudpaw's call. She felt eyes on her but when she glanced around she saw no one looking. She smiled at Ripplepaw and turned her head to the side. "What do you think, Ripplepaw?" She asked.

Cloudpaw rolled her eyes at Heronpaw's boasting but more in a joking fashion. "Yeah, yeah. Once you become one you'll have to tell us your secrets of sucking up to Hawkstar." She gave the tom a playful bump with her shoulder.
---
Ripplepaw hadn't expected Willowpaw to ask for his opinion, so he instantly started stammering as if he forgot to talk. "Umm, yes uh - it would be nice to go with them, right?" He shuffled his paws awkwardly. Why was he such a fool? He'd been glued to the she-cat for the past moon but he hadn't found the courage to tell her he liked her yet. It was driving him crazy.

Heronpaw ignored Cloudpaw's remarks about sucking up to Hawkstar. He just grunted and made his way to the forest beyond camp. He turned and waited for the others to follow. He while he was alone he muttered under his breath "I'm not a suckup" as though he had to convince himself.
Willowpaw giggled at Ripplepaw's stammering. "I think we should go too." She got up and brushed past him heading to the den's entrance. She bumped playfully into Cloudpaw as she walked past and joined Heronpaw.

Ripplepaw felt warm inside at Willowpaw's touch and just nodded with a sheepish smile. He quickly shook his head, trying to get a clear mind again as he followed after the apprentices.
---
"Great!" Cloudpaw smiled and bounced after Willowpaw and Heronpaw, taking the lead as she caught up with them. "Where should we go? Melonburr showed me how to hunt squirrels. I hope I can catch him one today. Are you going to take prey back to your mentors too?" She asked as she glanced over her shoulder at the others.

( Hawkeyes258 I'm going to make a she-cat that'll get pregnant and run off because she's scared of what Hawkstar will do to her and her kits. Would you like to rp her mate? ^^) |

Heronpaw nodded. "I think Hawkstar would like a nice plump vole." He stated that then stalked off keeping an ear out for the others as he did. He paused when he caught scent of a robin. He padded into a nearby clearing and spotted the bird pecking at some seeds. He stalked forward and jumped for it just as the Robin alighted into the air. By pure skill he hooked the bird by the wing and threw it to the ground. He then bit it's neck and waited for the others to catch up.
"I think I'm gonna catch prey for the elders. I don't think Cherrydapple would mind me not giving the prey to her." She said nearly tripping over a stick. She turned to look back at Ripplepaw hoping he didn't see her do that.

(Sure! and I'm good to have a timeskip)
Hawkstar rises to his paws seeing as both of the kits didn't seem to care that much. Whoever was assigned to Fawn would have their paws full. Doe looked to be the calmer of the two. Maybe, she is the one he ought to look out for. Should he assign himself as her mentor to be sure.
He shakes his head before making his way out of the medicine cat den. This was not the time to overthink! These kits were not clanborn and therefore wouldn't lead to his downfall. Least that is what he had to tell himself.

(Heronpaw is Hawkstar's apprentice. Though by the time they are old enough Heronpaw could become a warrior. If Hawkstar decides to make him one.)
Fawn bounced some more. "Bye Hawkstar. Thank you for letting us stay." She called.
(I'll post starters tomorrow for a timeskip I think.)

(Oops I used the apprentices as if there was already a timeskip, so we could just continue right? Hawkeyes258 Great!! I'll pop in her form in a minute and you can come up with a mate for her. Can't wait to cause some drama hehe.) Cloudpaw noddded at the answers of the two apprentices, the small tufts on her ears softly bouncing along. "Sounds good Willowpaw oop- .. are you okay?" She added quickly when her denmate tripped over a stick. Something was definitely up with her brother and her friend, they'd been acting weird for the last moon. She made a mental note to investigate this further after their hunting trip. --- Ripplepaw hadn't noticed Willowpaw's small tumble, he was trying to focus on hunting. Trying to catch a scent - any other scent than Willowpaw's - but his mind was as if a cloak of mist had fallen over it. He couldn't think about anything else than her. It was time he spoke up, maybe then he could focus on his duties again. But what if she didn't like him? He'd be devestated. Lifting his muzzle in the air once again he tried to block out the thoughts. Focus! |

( Mother Dark This is her form! She's the older sister to Crowflight and Sootwing, if Ivy is okay with that as well ofcourse. I'd like to think that her departure will create more conflict between Crowflight (because he values kits and family) and Sootwing (because he looks up to Hawkstar) Also, she's besties with Wrenwillow and possibly Cherrydapple? Maybe it would be fun to have some kind of girl group thing going on for them haha. I might work out her personality more as it goes ^^ ) Ravenheart - 33 moons. A long-furred black she-cat with a small white splash on her chest and a white tailtip. Her eyes are a deep blue color. Ravenheart is passionate, straightforward and caring at heart. She has a strong sense of justice, which has made Hawkstar’s ruling extra hard on her. And his leadership has had an effect on her busy social life as well; where she had many friends before, some relationships have deteriorated because of divided opinions. It frustrates her, though she tries her best to stay calm and levelheaded. Jademist |

Do we want it to be a week or a full moon so Doekit and Fawnkit become apprentices?) Heronpaw continued to wait for the others to catch up. He buried the Robin and padded around. He didn't scent any more prey nearby. Willowpaw looked embarrassed as Cloudpaw asked if she was okay. "Yeah I'm fine." She said shaking out her fur. She looked around and padded in the direction Heronpaw went before she paused. "I smell prey" she said excitedly. She took a second to gain her composure and then began to lightly walk off to catch the mouse. She didn't want to embarrass herself in front of the older apprentices. The mouse came into sight and it was faced away from her. She quickly pounced almost going over it. Though she landed with her paws squarely on it. She killed it and padded back to the others looking to Ripplepaw for praise. |

(I think a full moon would be better, that way cats can speculate on the kits mentors. Sootwing will want to swoop in haha. )
Cloudpaw smiled and watched Willowpaw go after a catch. “Good! I ought to get looking for something myself too.” She meowed half to herself, half to Willowpaw. Trailing away from the group she pricked her ears for any sound that might reveal the hiding spot of an animal. The closer they went to the burnt part of the forest, the more prey there seemed to be. Which was much better than a few moons ago. After a short while she caught onto the scent of mouse scurrying around.
——
Ripplepaw just couldn’t get his mind to it and wandered around for a little bit. When Willowpaw returned his ears perked up. “Great catch!” Ripplepaw meowed at Willowpaw, noticing the proud look on her face. “I’m sure the elders will enjoy that.” He smiled warmly at her.

(Okay. We've gotta figure out who's gonna mentor who and I've gotta up thr ages)
Willowpaw beamed at Ripplepaw's praise. "I can't catch anything big or fast yet. But I'm quiet enough to catch a mouse." She purred. "Are you gonna catch something now or did you just come to walk around?" She asked giving him a playful body check.

(I'd like to have Sootwing up for mentoring one, imagine his guilt if one of them kills Hawkstar haha yikes but if Hawkstar denies him his apprentice it would make him question his loyalty so either way it'd be good ;p)
"You'll get there eventually, I'm sure. It just takes some practise." Ripplepaw meowed. He was a little embarrassed at Willowpaw's next comment; she was right. Was he going to bring anything back to the clan? "Uh, yeah, no I'll catch something! Silverrose will have my pelt if I don't." He chuckled softly trying to mask his awkwardness.
---
Cloudpaw had swiftly killed the mouse that had crossed her path and buried it beneath a tree. Following her nose she sought out Heronpaw and decided to creep up on him. After wiggling her hidquarters for a bit she leaped out of the bushes, aiming to land onto her denmate.

(I think we could do Sootwing with Fawnkit and Volethorn with Doekit. Cause I want Sootwing to have to deal with Fawnkit having unintentionally (most likely) causing Hawkstar's death when she's a bit older. As long as you and Hawk are down)
Heronpaw was too busy burying his prey to notice Cloudpaw sneaking behind him until she landed on him. He quickly dropped to the ground and tried to roll on his back to get his attacker off. He growled in frustration as he realized it was Cloudpaw and he wasn't in any danger.
Willowpaw smiled at Ripplepaw. "I bet you will catch something great. And I will one day too." She said this before padding away to let him hunt. She wondered if he got the same weird feeling in his stomach that she did when they were together.

(Yes definitely!)
"Gotcha!" Cloudpaw grinned as she let go off her denmate and landed back onto her paws next to him. "So, did you catch anything good?" She asked, sniffing the air and nonchalantly glancing around trying to figure out Heronpaw's answer before he replied. Surely Heronpaw would've made a few catches in the time she'd been chatting to the others, he was nearly a warrior after all.
---
Ripplepaw nodded, his pelt felt like it was glowing as he padded into another direction. With Willowpaw's encouragement he was sure he had to be able to make a catch today. His blue eyes were shining with new determination as he lifted his muzzle to catch a new prey scent. After a short while of silently padding around he finally caught the smell of a squirrel.

Heronpaw growled and got to his feet. "Quit goofing around. We have prey to catch" He shook out his fur and looked around. The dirt below him was loose from where he'd buried his prey. "I caught a robin, a blue Jay, and a squirrel." He said. "What have you caught?
Willowpaw stumbled away feeling confused by her feelings. What exactly was the weird fluttering in her stomach when she was around him? She nearly walked into a tree but swerved just in time. She bounded off to find Cloudpaw.
I feel like these two would be too shy to say anything to each other but by the time he becomes a warrior everyone knows that they are into each other))

(Haha yes!! They're so precious I love them. I wouldn't blame Heronpaw if he wants to punch Cloudpaw in the mouth haha)
"Oh lighten up!" Cloudpaw sat down to lick one of her paws and drew it over her ear. Heronpaw was easy to mess around with since he became so uptight about becoming a warrior. She hoped once he was a warrior he wouldn't feel that much pressure any more. And the best way to deal with this right now was humor, at least according to herself. "I caught a big fat mouse." She meowed as she looked up from plucking old fur from under her paw. Then she paused omniously, pulling a serious face. "And another unidentified creature.. Big and grouchy, a real sight to see."
---
Ripplepaw quickly dropped into a hunting crouch, remembering what Iriscry had told him about hunting squirrels. He had to block it from running up the tree. Once he positioned himself between his prey and it's escape route he pounced with his claws unsheated, giving the squirrel a swift killing bite. With his prey proudly hanging from his jaws he decided to share his triumph with the rest of the group and set out to find them again.

He is a hard worker and will put others before himself. Foxfall struggles with insecurity and anxiety though he hides it by being funny and put together.

(Aww he’s perfect! He sounds so sweet!)
Cloudpaw’s ears flattened at Heronpaw’s angry tone. Before she could say anything he had disappeared into the bushes. Her ears perked up again at Willowpaw’s voice. She shrugged at her question. “I guess he wasn’t in the mood to joke around.” She said, standing up. “I didn’t mean for him to get angry though..” Cloudpaw knew she pushed Heronpaw’s buttons and it wasn’t the first time either, but she never meant to make the tom upset. Besides, thinking things through before she blurted it out was never a strong asset of hers.
——
Sootwing had just returned from a dawn patrol when he stepped back into the camp. His gaze sweeped the clearing for a hint of Hawkstar’s brown tabby fur. It was time to ask his leader about the mentors for the kits, they’d been in camp for a while now and they seemed about apprentice age. This might be his only chance to become a mentor for a while and he wasn’t going to let this opportunity slip. So he’d let Hawkstar know he is interested and hopefully he’d get to mentor one himself.
