Stormpaw — Busted!
It was no use. Shatterpaw's ability to masquerade as the scenery couldn't fool her seniors. Their disapproving stares bore right through her thin disguise. Time to give it up.
"Look, in my defence," she meowed, bouncing upright once again. "It would've been a learning experience! Once I'm a warrior, I'll need to know what a successful and productive patrol looks like, y'know? And surely I've picked up some skills you could've used? See, Heatherstorm can vouch for that! Right?"
There was a long silence. Her fur bristled; she wasn't going to blag her way out of this one.
"...I'll be heading back to camp now, feel free to punish me when you're done here." The words seemed to all fall out of her mouth at once. As soon as they did, Shatterpaw padded away, tail between her legs as she began to retrace her steps back to the camp entrance.

"You most certainly can stay on patrol- Collecting fresh moss for Minkstar, myself, Rushingriver and Ptarmiganflight. Is that understood?" Her gaze was narrowed, though Heatherstorm could admit in her mind she admired the young apprentice's excitement in becoming a warrior and going on border patrols.

Ptarmiganflight(dawn patrol with Heatherstorm, Rushingriver, and Shatterpaw(?)
Ptarmiganflight fixed Shatterpaw with a stern gaze, nodding in agreement with Heatherstorm. She knew Shatterpaw deserved her punishment, it was irresponsible for an apprentice to sneak out of camp, but she couldn't surpress a pang of pity for the young cat, she clearly had a taste for adventure, and Ptarmiganflight remembered herself being similar to that as an apprentice, she'd always loved dawn patrol.

At first, Shatterpaw assumed she was going to be publicly ratted out for her behaviour, until Heatherstorm offered the chance for her to remain with the patrol... Albiet carrying out a different task. She supposed it couldn't hurt. Her legs were still itching to get out in the territory; punishment or not, this was one way to scratch it! However...
"Wait, what about Winterflake?" she meowed, tilting her head to the left a bit. "I haven't seen her all day. She's probably wondering where I am, now that I think of it."
"Anyway-!" She realised she should probably look the deputy in the eye when speaking to her. "Whether we sort that out or not, just tell me where to head."

Heatherstorm glanced toward the rest of patrol. "I'm hoping we'll see you back at camp once we get back, won't we? There's no time for dawdling down by the lake. No paws in the water this time- and I mean it." Heatherstorm's eyes narrowed in mild suspicion, though she was intrigued by the tedious apprentice, and her strange love for getting out of camp, as Heatherstorm personally would have loved to bask in camp all day. "As for Winterflake," Heatherstorm continued to lecture, "They'll most certainly be notified of your behavior, but depening on how well you do at collecting the right moss, we won't explain the whole story."

Heatherstorm - On the Dawn patrol with those cats I'm not very bothered to write down at this point -
"Now," Heatherstorm began, "That was quite an unfortunate interruption, but I'm sure Shatterpaw means well, anyway. Oh! Before I forget, there was a fox den I was planning to scope out." Heatherstorm began to explain how she'd seen a fox den - which she'd assumed was old but still wanted to make sure - out deeper into the heart of the territory. "It's best we get going, the longer we wait, the longer that menace remains on the territory, and I'm not letting a single cat get hurt." |

Shatterpaw — Getting to Work
"Got it," meowed Shatterpaw, swishing her tail in a sort of salute as she turned for the river. "See you back at camp!"
Phew didn't even begin to describe the relief. While Shatterpaw was disappointed to not be joining the warriors this time, she conceded that she was at least making a contribution. Even if her task wasn't quite as exciting.
Shatterpaw's ears twisted all around, trying to pinpoint the river's flow. Sure enough, the familiar babble of the Crystal River guided her onwards. This was the place where she would go to receive her warrior name when the time was right. If she kept up her solid work, (and tried not to get caught exploring), she'd pass the Trial of Courage and head there for her ceremony in about two moons time!
For now, though, she kept her eyes peeled for the green shrubs of moss that Heatherstorm had asked for...
----
(OOC: I've had an idea... Perhaps Shatterpaw could, although successful in her moss-gathering, sustain an injury of some sort? If there is a discussion thread where this idea could be fleshed out further, I'd appreciate being directed there.)

' Ok' she meowed, dipping her head and following Heatherstorm. ( TheKeenGlint yes, that sounds like an interesting idea!

Heatherstorm - Leading the Patrol to the Fox den.
Her pace quickened as she travelled along the riverbank. As she watched the current flow by, she'd hoped that Shatterpaw had begun to do as she asked and hadn't disobeyed with a quick splash. Her dry fur will reveal that fact, for sure.
After a bit of searching, she'd quickly spotted the trail of fox paw-prints, leading toward a narrow cleft up ahead. "That way, there's some sort of sheltering stone and a hole leading down, and there's fox scent, too." Explained Heatherstorm, and quickly, she began to pad forward, ignoring the fact she had no idea if here clanmates had chosen to continue her example and enter the fox den, or be mouse-hearts and decide to stay.

Ptarmiganflight(dawn patrol with Rushingriver and Heatherstorm) QUACK Nettle Ptarmiganflight felt a twinge of nervousness upon entering the fox den after Heatherstorm, but resolutely pushed it away, she did not want to appear cowardly, especially in front of her clan deputy. She tasted the air warily, the cool, damp air bathing her muzzle, and stayed alert for any signs of the fox. Minkstar(in camp, with Greywind) Hawkeyes258
Minkstar noticed Greywind coming out of the warriors den, having nothing else planned at the moment, she decided to invite him on a hunt. She padded up to him " It's a pleasant morning, isn't it?" she remarked " Would you like to go on a hunt with me?"

Heatherstorm - In the fox den with Ptarmiganflight 🐦silvermoon2🐦 QUACKHeatherstorm was aware of Ptarmiganflight's presence creeping slowly behind her. "I think it's empty," Heatherstorm reported, but she kept her eyes in slits, feeling for the presence of a fox as the darkness began to swallow her up. She breathed slow, and steadily as she progressed. "It's pretty dark down here. Uhm, perhaps it's best we leave before the fox shows up again? Her voice was consistent with worry, as she began to head out, there was another set of slow, heavy breathing. "Ptarmiganflight, that's not funny." The tunnel was noiseless. "Ptarmiganflight...?" |

Frostpaw - Open
The white tabby’s ears pricked in curiosity at the sound of the clan leader’s voice. Across the camp from where he sat, he can see Minkstar speaking to Greywind. Are they planning on going out? Perhaps he could come along too? He stayed put, however, not seeing it appropriate to run over to them like an excited kit while begging to leave camp. He was far too old for that.

Ptarmiganflight(in a fox den with Heatherstorm) QUACK Nettle ' Yes, it probably is' Ptarmiganflight agreed, glad to be leaving the gloomy den. As she turned to leave, she heard Heatherstorm speak again. " What?" she asked, puzzled. And then she heard it too, a sound of heavy breathing that she knew wasn't Heatherstorm, a chill ran down her spine as the strong scent of fox reached her. Minkstar(in camp with Greywind and Frostpaw) Hawkeyes258 JunospowerMinkstar began to lead the way out of camp, but paused upon noticing Frostpaw staring at them with hopeful eyes. She felt a glimmer of amusement, she had always been eager to go hunting as an apprentice as well. " Frostpaw" she called " Would you like to go hunting with us?"

Being the reserved young tom that he is, Frostpaw nodded to his leader and rose to his paws. He trotted after them, fluffy tail held high. Not everyday he got to go hunting with Minkstar, so he had to make sure he impresses her today.

Shatterpaw — Finding Moss...
Shatterpaw's movements winded down the Crystal River as she resisted the urge to dip a paw in and go for a swim. Heatherstorm would probably have her head if she came back to camp with damp fur. It was in the middle of this resistance that she saw them — verdant bushes sat slouch along a beaten path. Yes! The prize she was searching for. With trained swiftness and agility, she bounded over to claim them, the soft texture of moss feeling oh-so-nice against her paw pads.
In the distance, however, a dangerous scent floated in the air... |

Heatherstorm - On the Dawn patrol (In the fox den.)
Th eheavy breathing grew lourder, and louder, and the closer it got, the more still Heatherstorm stood. She could almost see Starclan coming for her. There was a low, menacing growl. It felt like an enternity, waiting in silence other than the heavy breaths of the warriors and, the fox. Suddenly, pain seared through Heatherstorm's leg, she screeched, loud enough to scare any bird nearby. Her heart ached to move and fight back, but there was nothing to be done, other than to wait and see if the fox would let go.
"Ptarmiganflight..." She whispered slowly. "Get help... Quickly..."

Ptarmiganflight(Dawn patrol with Heatherstorm) NettlePtarmiganflight wanted to obey her deputy, but knew she wouldn't be able to fight off the fox alone until Ptarmiganflight came back with help. Before leaping to Heatherstorms defense she let out a loud caterwaul, hoping her voice would reach Shatterpaw who should still be nearby. " Shatterpaw, get help, we're being attacked by a fox!" the words were barely out of her mouth when she leapt at the fox, clawing and scratching at its face, hoping she was doing enough to make it let go of Heatherstorm. ( QUACK, that's fine, I understand, I will delete your characters as soon as possible. Good luck with your finals!)

( QUACK , that's fine, I understand, I will delete your characters as soon as possible. Good luck with your finals!) Shatterpaw — VS a Fox
Carrying a bundle of moss in her mouth, with a firm grasp, Shatterpaw began to retrace her steps and make her way back to camp. Most likely, the dawn patrol was still ongoing, so she'd find a nice safe place to store it for now and—
Wait... What was that scream? It sounded like—
"Shatterpaw, get help, we're being attacked by a fox!"
A what?! Shatterpaw almost jumped as the wind carried Ptarmiganflight's voice to her. So that's what that foreign scent was... She mentally cursed herself for not recognising it in the first place. It would've saved the patrol a lot of trouble if she'd dealt with it herself. But there was no time to reflect; the patrol needed help.
And it was coming, ready or not.
Throwing the moss to one side, she bounded back down the river, practically leaping with every step, until Heatherstorm and Ptarmiganflight's familiar pelts came into view. Sure enough, the fox's telltale auburn pelt writhed about as its jaws latched down onto Heatherstorm's leg. Her pulse whistling in her ears, Shatterpaw leapt into action regardless.
"Get away from her!" she roared as she attempted to slow the fox down with a bite to its own leg. She clamped her jaws down as hard as they would go, hissing with satisfaction at her enemy's pained whelp...
