RiverClan Elders' Den

[BEAR.]

[CinnamonCookie]

Mangofur waited until an apprentice came with some new miss because her nest was getting a bit old. "Say, can some cat bring me some food?! I'm hungry and my joints hurt!" She yelled out the entrance. Yet no cat seemed to care for her. "I remember when I was an apprentice and I thought elders were gross." She laughed quietly. "Now I'm a gross elder myself."

Silentshade looked up at the sound of the Riverclan elder Mangofur's voice. She then looked down at the plump fish she had at her paws." I'm really hungry, but she hunted for this clan longer than I have. And besides, it would be a breaking of the warrior code! ' kits and elders must be fed before the Warriors and apprentices can eat.'" So the gray and white cat picked up the fish in her mouth and carried it gently to the elder. " it's not my fault the apprentices are abandoning their duties, but here is some good to hold you off until an apprentice can get you some." Silentshade set the fish next to the elderly cat's pass;and not waiting, or wanting, for a thank you, she padded swiftly away.

Mangofur laughed, then said, "Young warrior! Please, eat with me. I'll take half, you take half "

[Reverie]

The elder names Panthereyes stalked into the den

[Bracken12]

Mangofur laughed, then said, "Young warrior! Please, eat with me. I'll take half, you take half "
Silentshade stopped once she heard Mangofur address her. "Um,okay,if you insist!" she sat beside the elder and asked," Do you want first bite?"

[CinnamonCookie]

Silentshade stopped once she heard Mangofur address her. "Um,okay,if you insist!" she sat beside the elder and asked," Do you want first bite?"
"Darlin' it's fine. Even though i have one eye and creaking joints, im not famished. You take a bite."

[Bracken12]

"Darlin' it's fine. Even though i have one eye and creaking joints, im not famished. You take a bite."
"okay, " Silentshade muttered as she took a bite out of the slivery fish, letting all the tastes of the river flood her senses, resulting in a delicious flavor. "So, Mangofur? How is life as an elder, other than telling stories to kits and not getting fed on time?" She asked after she swallowed. Once she realized how dry and tastless her joke about not getting fed on time was; if you could even call it a joke, she smiled, trying to cover it up.

Mangofur thought then replied, "My life is fine, but it is boring at times. I get fed fine as well, I'm not a starving cat. I do give advice to apprentices when they ask for it, or I tell them my mistakes as an apprentice and tell them not to do it. Do you just hop around the forest and catch prey to show off to your apprentice? No, there's more to that. Elders also get to watch with the clan and if everything goes ok, then everythings ok. But if I see something wrong, I tell the leader. Elders are watchers of the clan, the background cats."

[Dreams of forever]

A silver she cat padded in,"Is this the right place?" She asked looking around, her eyes were grey and glossy

Silentshade listened to the reason in the older cat's words. " The elders are like the watch cats of the clan, if anything is out of order, then you know something is up, I remember my first moonhigh watch. I thought every twig snap was a intruding cat, and I raised the alarm to Brackenheart, that's the cat who was watching with me, about oh, maybe seven times!" She paused before continuing. "Us younger cats are so eager to please and hyper that sometimes we 'over-do' a job, like hunting, they tell us to hunt as much as we can, then we hunt until we're so worn out, that we can hardly walk! what use are we to the clan then, if we can hardly walk? Not much, from my times doing that. "

"That is true. Just try your best and not wear yourself out." Mangofur smiled, then asked, "Do you have an apprentice?"

[CinnamonCookie]

A silver she cat padded in,"Is this the right place?" She asked looking around, her eyes were grey and glossy
"If you're looking for elders in the elder den, you're in the right place." Mangofur smiled.

[CinnamonCookie]

The elder names Panthereyes stalked into the den
"Hello, Panthereyes. Kits wear you out again?" Mangofur asked, a glint of happiness in her eye.

[Dreams of forever]

"If you're looking for elders in the elder den, you're in the right place." Mangofur smiled.
"The elders den?!" She screeched,"I'm only a warrior and he.... they think I can't fight because I'm blind." She mewed and let out a depressed sigh

[CinnamonCookie]

"The elders den?!" She screeched,"I'm only a warrior and he.... they think I can't fight because I'm blind." She mewed and let out a depressed sigh
"Don't worry. Who is the warrior and the warrior den is the next two over." Mangofur assured.

[Bracken12]

"That is true. Just try your best and not wear yourself out." Mangofur smiled, then asked, "Do you have an apprentice?"
"Oh, not yet; I want one though, I was a loner before Riverclan, and I know a lot about the cats outside the clans!"Silentshade mewed. "Right now I'm a mother to Thornkit, his parents passed away and so me and Brackenheart are taking care of him. And someday I want a litter of my own, now that I've tasted what's like being a mother; I like it, and hope that Thornkit grows into a respected warrior, and thrives in Riverclan." She smiled. "Here I am, blabbing on about my kit; I'm a queen already!" she looked at Mangofur and asked,"So, did you have any apprentices or kits?"

[Dreams of forever]

"Don't worry. Who is the warrior and the warrior den is the next two over." Mangofur assured.
An apprentice walked in and walked over to mangofur,"She's blind and they let her train and her mentor told our leader to make her a elder early to keep her safe." The apprentice mewed,"Please keep her safe." He asked, Silvereye hissed,"I can hear perfectly fine you know!" She growled

"Don't worry, I'll keep y'all safe. I'm half-blind, y'know." Mangofur blinked her one eye.

[Dreams of forever]

"Don't worry, I'll keep y'all safe. I'm half-blind, y'know." Mangofur blinked her one eye.
She nodded,"Well then, I guess my early retirement has begun." She joked light heartedly

[CinnamonCookie]

She nodded,"Well then, I guess my early retirement has begun." She joked light heartedly
"Your retirement won't begin unless kits badger you for stories." Mangofur laughed.

[Dreams of forever]

"Your retirement won't begin unless kits badger you for stories." Mangofur laughed.
She laughed,"Kits, they bring hope and love, I always wanted kits, who would be mates with a blind cat," she chuckled soflty

[CinnamonCookie]

She laughed,"Kits, they bring hope and love, I always wanted kits, who would be mates with a blind cat," she chuckled soflty
"My brother would like any female cat, it was her personality that he cared about. But...he's gone..." Mangofur said softly.

[Dreams of forever]

"My brother would like any female cat, it was her personality that he cared about. But...he's gone..." Mangofur said softly.
Silvereye sighed,"I'm so sorry......" she mewed sympathtehicly

Breaking river waited with a piece of prey in his mouth looking impatient. (Sorry short I'm eati g a pancake)

[BlueGenie(aka Blueflight)]

(PANCAKES!!)
Salmonscale was sitting down, his mind wandering back to when he was and apprentice, with his boundless enthusiasm and energy. He sighed, remembering all those good friends he had lost. He saw breakingriver with food and he got up and walked over to him. "Is that for me?" He asked.

"Does a rabbit hop?" He put down the prey in front of old Salmonscale. "Can you tell me a story?" He twitched his tail excitedly.

[BlueGenie(aka Blueflight)]

He chuckled, remembering when the elders told him stories. "Sure, come sit down!" He said, dragging the prey back to his nest. "It'll be one of my good ones!" He said.

I can't wait!" Breaking river sat down close.

[BlueGenie(aka Blueflight)]

"Well, this takes me back to a time when I was a newly appointed warrior, I was assigned for a dawn patrol and it was quite peaceful." He began and stopped to breath. "We suddenly heard a loud rustling in the bushes beside us and a rogues head popped out. 'Quick we need your help, a huge branch has fallen on my mate!' The Tom said. The patrol that day was very naive and we were all young so we told him to lead the way so we could be the heroes elders tell us about!" He stopped to take a bite of his prey and swallowed before continuing. "Little did we know that it was a trap, as soon as we reached the clearing, we saw that there was nothing there, before we could do anything rogues poured out from the bushes all around us. They started growling at us and advanced. We formed a circle and lashed out at all who came close. They all charged at us and it was complete pandemonium. Claws and teethe tore and snapped. After a short while I had sent two rogues running. But they just kept coming and I saw the others had athe same problems. I saw one clamp its jaws around the patrol leader and I roared and slammed into the Tom with all my might. He slammed against an tree and let go of the leader." He paused taking a breath and another bite of prey.

[Wolvesregion]

Whoa." Breaking river said surprised. "I didn't know rouges could the so horribly. I would refused help and let the lad try and attack the clen! Then they would've gotten the beating of a life time!" He had a slight Irish accent. (Mwhahaha)

[BlueGenie(aka Blueflight)]

(Salmonscale has the most Scottish accent you could ever imagine.)
"Well ya don't really think when you think someone is danger do ya, you just try to help, me I was very naive ya see! Anyways the rogue had let go and gotten back up, my patrol leader was struggling to get up, one o'me friends went to help him up while I leaped at the Tom. He slashed my nuzzle and I slashed his, we were matched move for move until finally one o'me claws missed and he raked his across me leg. I dropped down right away, I was injured but I could still jump ya see. He leaped, aiming for my head, I pushed of at the last moment, my jaws biting his neck. He let out a gurgle as he took his final breaths, I saw the other rogues stare in fear at their fallen comrade who I now know was their leader, they backed away slowly at first and then started running. I turned back to me friend and we took him back home without anymore incedents." He continued, finishing and finishing his prey.

"Wow, I didn't know when you were a younger folk that you could have been fooled by one young laddy." Breaking river responded. "That's a great story."

[BlueGenie(aka Blueflight)]

"Well I like it that ya think that!" Salmonscale said cheerfully. "When your an elder I'm sure you'll have lots of stories to tell too!"

[Wolvesregion]

"Well I like it that ya think that!" Salmonscale said cheerfully. "When your an elder I'm sure you'll have lots of stories to tell too!"
" Maybe." Breakingriver looked into the elders eyes. "Do you want to go hunt?" The young warrior new he was an elder, but this elder was special to him. "If you can of course." He gave the elder a mischievous glare.

[BlueGenie(aka Blueflight)]

"Of course, I can keep up with ya young'n don't you worry!" He said getting up. Salmonscale quite liked this young warrior.

[Wolvesregion]

"Of course, I can keep up with ya young'n don't you worry!" He said getting up. Salmonscale quite liked this young warrior.
"Try and keep up!" Breakingriver challenged the elder. "How about we play a little game?"

[BlueGenie(aka Blueflight)]

"What kind?" He asked. "Tell me once we are outside!" He said walking out.

[Role]

Floatingbark parted the reeds to the Elder's Den. "I've brought a visitor for you guys, she really wants to hear your stories," she purred. "Acaciakit come on in." Her brown tail twitched slightly, wondering if any elders even heard her mew.

( @CandyFlossCat (http://warriorcatsonline.com/forums/member.php?u=2597) )

Acaciakit walked in, feeling special as no warriors were around to gloat what they could do and she couldn't. Floatingbark didn't count, though, because she visited the nursery and hung out with Acaciakit.

[Cherrypelt]

Peachkit peeked into the elders den but seeing as there were already cats in there seeking the elders she turned away and waited for the cats to come out. Peachkit washed her glossy cream colored pelt and waited. She poked her head in longer and hoped not to get spotted. She was curious she wondered "I wonder why they're out here seeking the elders?" Peachkits eyes sparkled with wonder and she watched the kit approach the elders.

Blackheart huffed They haul me out of my den and once I was on dry land they still forced me to come to the camp...I wouldn't have cared if I drowned, I'm old that's what's suppose to happen to me. she groomed her pelt well aware of the brisling pelts of other elders from Riverclan," Can ya snap outta it, I'm too old to scratch ya even if I wanted to."

Shaking his golden fur to rid it of the water, an apprentice stepped into the elder's den. His green eyes were sharp as he scanned over the cats in the elder's den. Canarypaw knew that the flood could have taken a big toll on the elders of his clan, and he knew how stubborn they could be. He had just been talking about them with his sibling not too long before the flood. They could be so stubborn enough as to refuse help from a medicine cat, and being the cat he was, Canarypaw wanted to make sure they were okay. He knew some simple healing techniques, due to Daypaw being the medicine cat, but nothing with herbs. He only knew how to throughly check over a cat for injuries and how to apply cobwebs to a wound.
Pelt still damp, Canarypaw walked deeper into the den and sat down at the first elder, the one closest to the entrance. He sniffed the air, a faint scent of Shadowclan entering his nostrils. Smiling, he looked up at the dark-furred she-cat. "Do you mind if I make sure you're okay? I want to be sure that the elders are all fine despite that nasty flood."

Blackheart snorted, "Be my guest, I'm just sore I think...and that excersise should rid me from fleas and ticks for a few days atleast..." she trailed off starting a story," I remember when I was your age...young 'un...I was always an adventurous apprentice. I'd go moonhigh hunting in Riverclan territory, probably foolish of me...an it was against the warrior code, my mentor caught me though... I also had a crush on a Windclan tom, Gooseflight. We were lovers and often argued over who'd join the other ones clan... luckily he fell in love with someone else...now that this storm passed I wish I was in Windclan 'cuz I wouldn't of had to flee the storm, yet again I'd of had to flee a fire... Anyways, I also thought I'd be leader, and no, I wasn't even deputy..." she purred as Canarypaw prodded at her. RedHead

It wasn't uncommon for Quailkit to want to come into the elder's den, they often liked to visit the older cats and see if they needed help even if they were still only a kit. Most of the time the elders politely declined and instead took the time to tell the kit a story, which more often than not the young cat accepted gleefully, sometimes spending the entirety of the day in the elders den listening to whatever it was that the older cats were telling them. Today was no different either, for the young brown and white tabby came into the elders den, hauling a mouse with them by the tail. In one more moon they would be an apprentice and it would be their duty to help the older cats, so might as well get a headstart on it right? Besides, Quailkit enjoyed being able to help others, whether the cat was the same age as them, older, or younger, whoever they were Quailkit wanted to be able to extend a helping paw.
So with a bright look in their eyes that were starting to change yellow the older they got, the young cat made their entrance into the den of the old retired warriors, pausing to look around to see who would most likely be needing the mouse they had.
Ears perking up towards one of the elders who seemed to have the others up in a tizzy, Quailkit cautiously approached Blackheart, dipping their head and gently laying down the mouse in front of the old she-cat. While they weren't sure about how she smelled, not quite used to the smell of Shadowclan, the kit wouldn't let that stop them from offering kindness.
"Excuse me ma'am, would.. You like to have this mouse? I haven't seen you around camp before, are you one of the um.." Flicking their ear, the kit had to rack their brain to remember the name of the other clan. "The Shadowclan cats?" With the question, the younger cat's head tilted as they fixed their gaze curiously up at the other cat, taking a seat. As the kit spoke, they spoke with a gentle, polite tone, one that they used when speaking with any cat really because generally speaking, Quailkit was a very polite young tom.

Meanwhile a particular smokey/ashy grey kit stuck his snout into the elders den. He had seen another kit come in here with a mouse and was curious what he planned to do with it, even though it was pretty obvious that he was probably going to feed it to one of the elders. Then again, Vireokit was fairly young and didn't really think about it. Technically, he wasn't supposed to be out of the nursery, but he was a very curious young kit and usually ended up sneaking out anyways, either following a bug or just looking for something to study and observe.
Blue eyes focusing on Quailkit, seeing them talking to the elder, the much younger kit came padding over with their tail held high in curiosity and intrigue. The smell of the elders den was strange with the scent of the two clans mixed together, but it didn't bother Vireokit in the slightest, then again, there were very few things that seemed to bother the strange young kit.
As Blackheart seemed to be focused on Quailkit, Vireokit focused in on the elders tail, eyeing it curiously but not desiring to reach a paw out for it yet.

[RedHead]

Blackheart snorted, "Be my guest, I'm just sore I think...and that excersise should rid me from fleas and ticks for a few days atleast..." she trailed off starting a story," I remember when I was your age...young 'un...I was always an adventurous apprentice.

After Canarypaw had sniffed the elder over and deemed nothing wrong, he calmly day and listened attentively to Blackheart's stories. He enjoyed it when other cats rambled on, it gave him things to think about. And start co cersatuons with. But elders were never hard to start a conversation with. Canarypaw knew that much. The golden tom flicked his ears at the mention of her having love for a Windclan tom. "Ive always belived that love should be able to exist anywhere. Because, sometimes cats in different clans are the ones meant for each other." Canarypaw wasn't much of a love-talker, but when he did talk about it, he could be extemley deep. And in the eyes of felines his age, romantic. But he was only stating what he though to Blackheart. Getting an older cat's opinion on his beliefs. Of course, if she had an argument against his starement he wouldn't change his own opinion, unless her argument was strong.

Blackheart glanced at the Riverclan kit," Why, thank you." She meowed to Quailkit," What's your name? I'm Blackheart." She added taking a small bite of the mouse wondering how they found a mouse in Riverclan territory, she had just grumbled over the fish and taken it gracefully from the Riverclan apprentices and snapped at the Shadowclan apprentices. Since she wasn't welcome in Riverclan, she glanced up at Vireokit and smiled," Hello. Were you looking for a specific elder?" She meowed. She knew a bunch of the elders from her warrior days at the gatherings.

Blackheart laughed," Well you know the warrior code says only take a mate in your own clan." She purred in amusement," I know that too...but I'll tell you one thing...I wasn't much for listening as an apprentice towards that rule. I spent apprenticehood in love with a Windclan apprentice who refused to speak to me...which was silly of me. He was smart in not allowing himself to fall in love." She meowed.

Canarypaw cocked his head in question. Sure, he followed the warrior code with his heart, but still, the part about not being allowed to be mates with another cat in a different clan bothered him. Because some cats just had a love outside of their own clan. And love was not something that could be controlled. "Yeah,
I guess that is smart."

hi I'm hawkwing a she-cat with light brown fur and dark brown belly

[RedHead]

(ShC)
"Sure!" Canarypaw purred. I don't have anywhere else to be, right? The golden apprentice thought about it. Nope, nowhere he needed to be. Canarypaw curled his fluffy tail around his paws, perking his ears to listen intently to the story.

BadgerFur waited in the den for SnakeBite, then he smelled her honey smell and said "hi, I still can tell when you walk in, I may be blind but not nose blind!" They both laughed for a minute.

[pomegranate]

Reedbreeze sat in the silence of the elders den, her silvery rag doll fur swaying gently. It was cold outside, and she didn’t feel like making her joints ache. She wanted to go bask in the sun on her favorite rock. Too bad it was completely submerged in the winter. I wonder where Minnowkit is today, she thought wistfully. Graciously, Starclan had allowed her not to go completely deaf before the birth of her grandkit. Minnowkit was a lovely name. Her mother had chosen well. She shook her head. Perhaps she would pay a visit to Minnowkit. Minnowkit liked stories of Leopardclan. Well, you old lump, you’ll have to get up first.but, she didn’t quite feel like it today.

BadgerFur waited in the den for SnakeBite, then he smelled her honey smell and said "hi, I still can tell when you walk in, I may be blind but not nose blind!" They both laughed for a minute.

Rainpaw warmed up slightly at hearing some of the elders being happy, despite the harsh winter weather. She was glad her black and white pelt was so warm.
"Hello there." She purred softly. "I'm just wondering if any other apprentice has come with food for you yet." She explained, pointing at the fish beside her.

[ponyapan]

Nightwhisker entered the elders den, and immediatly saw Rainpaw talking to the elders. "Rainpaw? Umm... If you are done, should we- should we go battle training..?" Tried Nightwhisker and looked down on the ground, knowing that the elders listened to him talking. Rainpaw looked at him, and mewed goodbye to the elders. "I'll leave this with you." He pointed at the fish. "In leaf bare, you have to eat properly to keep your strength, especially now with a new bundle of kits who will want to hear your stories." Rainpaw purred before walking out of the nursery with Nightwhisker.
"About the kits," Nightwhisker began. "Would it be okay for you to tell them some stories after battle training?"He said, and Rainpaw calmly responded.
"Of course. Battle training... So we're heading to the training cave?" He then asked. Nightwhisker nodded, and started to lead the way for Rainpaw. After all, he knew that Rainpaw had never been to the training cave before, he was such a young apprentice.

[ponyapan]

Silverkit purred with amusement after Graynose had told the story.
"Really? Nightwhisker did that? But he is always so calm!" she asked.
"Yes! It was really surprising, to be honest. But he was right, in the end."
Silverkit wiggled her back in anticipation. "I can't wait to be an apprentice!" she beamed. Sootkit moved her focus to Silverkit. "It won't be long now, will it?" she thought. Pebblekit shivered. "We're about the age of turning into apprentices right? What if the Fallenstar doesn't want us to become apprentices?" He worried. Graynose licked his head reassuringly, with a glint of amusement in his eyes. "Don't worry, you'll be having you ceremony soon. I'm so proud of all three of you!" Silverkit unsheathed her claws. "We better will! I will be the best apprentice ever- and then the bravest and most fiercest warrior! Rainpaw has already taught me some hunting moves." she boasted.
Sootkit looked at her sibling warmly, while Pebblekit looked worried.
"I'll never become as good a warrior as you! It will be too scary." he sniffed.
Silverkit looked at him with confusion. "Of course you will! You are my kin, right? You just have to change your attitude, and don't be so scared all the time." she mewed with a tone like it was obvious. Pebblekit sniffed again, but seemed to feel better. Sootkit puffed his head. "We'll all help each other out." she declared. Pebblekit sighed. "You're right, I will do my best to serve the clan- even if it's scary!" he assured. "Then... Let's test out battlemoves!" challenged Silverkit, and jumped on top of Pebblekit, spraying dirt and moss everywhere. Graynose knew she ought to go between them so they wouldn't destroy all the moss, but they were just too cute, she thought and smiled.

[ RiverClan has returned home, and all roleplays can be resumed as normal. ]

[Arie]

A large ginger tom was lying in his nest inside the elder's den. He was old, really old for a riverclan cat and had lost most of the sleekness in his fur, leaving patchy grey fur in its place. He shifted and his breath was heavy with pain as the large tom finally rose to awareness. He stretched, the old bones aching and he let out a sigh. It was gonna be another day like this, with the lingering chill from leafbare leaving his bones stiff and sore. He sat up and looked at the sky. It was yet another day where the clouds lingered over the sky and there wouldn't be much of a relief for the old ginger tom. He stretched again arching his back and the fur looked like a dull flame. It was sad. He sat up shuffling the moss underneath his paws and looked out the entrance. It would be about now the apprentices should be out hunting for him and the other elders and Torchbreeze looked forward to another meal. He was also hoping someone would show up to let him tell another of his stories... It was what the old tom enjoyed the most and therefore it was a sad day when no one showed up. Although he could always convince the apprentices to stay on the premise that he shared his own prey.

Giving his chest fur a final lick he curled up in the nest of twigs and moss again, settling down and resting his head on his paws. He wondered what story he would be telling next time. The tom, although not born in Riverclan - born as a kitty pet but being left for good at the age of 2 moons - had experienced clanlife just as well as any of the others and he had been in the clan for longer than any of these warriors. He had seen the life of the clan fall apart and get back together and had lived through all of these events. Finally settling down properly he started out the entrance yet again.

|| Ripplestorm - I gave you something to work with ahaha ||

[Ripplestorm]

"Hello?" Mistypaw said nervously as she entered the elder's den. She finished her apprentice duties earlier than she thought she would and wanted to spend some time doing something fun. "I hope you're not too busy, but..." she said quietly. "I was wondering if any of you could tell me story?"

TheImmortalElder
(Is this alright? It's a bit short.)

[Arie]

|| Ripplestorm - I'll keep mine short as well then ahaha. My length of replies tend to match the other rper ||

Torchbreeze looked up at the apprentice that had walked into the den. Purring he meowed, "I am the only one here youn' un. But of course I can tell you a story, yes, tell a story is something I can do." He shifted in his nest and laid down comfortably, his hindleg stretched out behind him at an angle. His bones ached, they always did and especially now with the sudden chill. "Come over here and lie next to me. Your fluffy fur will keep me warm and keep my old bones from aching." His long fur wasn't enough to keep the ancient cat warm enough. "I have many stories and it is up for you to decide. There is the one of the former leader of Riverclan, then there is the crossclan relationship and then there is the story of a cat who left her clan for us. Or do you have a story of your own mind that you want me to tell?"

[Ripplestorm]

"Thank you," Mistypaw said shyly as she settled down beside the elder. She thought about her choices for a bit. Hearing a story about a leader would be exciting, and so would be hearing one about a crossclan relationship. All of the stories sounded great and she really wanted to hear them all. But the one that caught her attention the most was the story about the she-cat that left her clan to join RiverClan. Why did she leave? Mistypaw wondered. "Can you, um, tell me about the cat who left her clan? Why did she come here?" The grey she-cat tilted her head curiously.

With Spiderpaw clamped firmly in his jaws, Lionstorm wasted no time in navigating the clearing and entering the elders' den.

He was exhausted of her attitude, how rude and insolent she was, and he figured some time taking care of Bubblingbee would do her well.

Dropping Spiderpaw onto the hard ground, his paw stomped down at her tail to keep her from escaping as his gaze rested on a familiar silver tabby pelt.

"Bubblingbee," Lionstorm greeted the old she-cat coolly. "I thought you'd might enjoy this: this is Skinpatch, who is unfortunately my apprentice. She decided to cross over the border intentionally despite my orders, so I figured it might be best for you to set her straight."

He released Spiderpaw's tail in favor of moving to shove her toward Bubblingbee. "Until her attitude shapes up, she is confined to camp and to caring for you. Anything you ask her to do, she is required to obey provided she doesn't leave camp. You have the right to make her life terrible." His gaze shifted to Spiderpaw. "Skinpatch, you can find moss and water in the medicine cat den. If I find you've left camp for any reason, you can say goodbye to any dreams of becoming a warrior. I will ensure your training is held back until you prove to me you are capable of being a respectable cat."

Bubblingbee narrowed her eyes at Spiderpaw as she listened to Lionstorm Skinpatch, a good nickname for this excuse for an apprentice. she nodded and angrily nodded to Lionstorm,” Don’t worry this excuse for an apprentice will be well behaved when I’m done with her...” she smuggly replied. Her fur was clearly ungroomed and was extremely mattered with clumps on it. Just looking at her you could rightfull predict that she had tons of ticks and fleas crawling her fur. She narrowed her eyes at Spiderpaw,” You! Excuse for an apprentice, Skinpatch!” She snapped angrily glaring at Spiderpaw,” Go fetch mousebile and get working on removing my ticks off my pelt. I’ve got tons, I’ll keep you busy all day. You’ve got two minutes to get back here with mousebile or you will be Skin instead of Skinpatch.” She snapped before snorting a little Skinpatch...such a perfect nickname for that excuse for an apprentice.

DawnPaw padded into the den,her facial expressions unreadable. Almost a dozen of comeback were coming to yet she hadn't used a good one with LionStorm, a shame really. The cream Molly looked around the den many elders filtered her view and she sighed, her ears flatten slightly as she heard one of the Elders snap orders at a apprentice- oh how she hoped that wasn't the elder she was looking for, she had enough old ladies shouting at her she didn't need another CreekTongue except in physical form.DawnPaw padded over to the shecat, she wanted to get this over and done with, she felt like so many things have happened lately and she had just added a problem to her list- maybe being rude to the deputy of RiverClan wasn't the best idea she's ever had but too late now and she wasn't going back on her words."Are you BubblingBee?".She asked this warily- as a cat from Skyclan she had no idea who any of these cats were except of course FallenStar and LionStorm, She always heard chitchat about other clans leaders and deputy's at gatherings so it was expected."If you are then it's your 'Lucky' day, LionStorm has sent me here to take care of you not that you really look like you need to be taken care of".Her tone was calm and lacked any emotion as she looked at the other Apprentice before raising a brow somewhat.

Bubblingbee raised her eyes up to the new apprentice and smuggly replied,” I am.” Her fur was still unkempt and messy. She sternly asked Dawnpaw a question,” Are you here for punishment or apprentice duties? It determines how I’m going to treat you, young ‘un.” She replied.

The cream Molly raised brow,noticing how messy her fur was. Wouldn't that be uncomfortable? Hearing the old Molly she spoke in lighthearted tone the same smug expression on her face."Im here for Punishment, which I've heard is your speciality, Honestly this isn't going to be punishment for me- I have delt with worse things in my life so this will be more of a learning experience, Hope you go your hardest BubblingBee".Her blue eye narrowed slightly,She could hear a small cackle coming from CreekTongue and she wanted to sigh but doing so would only show the old messy Molly in front of her that she didn't want to be here, and in all honestly she didn't want to be here but since she's going to be confined to camp and held back in her warrior ceremony she might as well take the harsh punishments coming as some sort of training."I know you're going to have quite a lot of fun- Now let's start on your fur".Saying this voluntarily without allowing BubblingBee to speak she padded to the medicine cats den and got mousebile, the foul smell caused her nose to crinkle up but she pushed through it and made her way back to the elders den, sitting beside the shecat with a blank expression- honestly she might sound crazy but she already heard what she wanted from
the other apprentice and she might as well use it to her advantage.DawnPaw felt slightly bad for the old Molly as her fur looked very uncomfortable- if she was like how she used to be she wouldn't of cared or even listen to the shecat, she would even be in this situation.The cream Molly didn't think of this as punishment, she was used to being punished by CreekTongue in the DarkForest but it was more harsh and painful.DawnPaw had gotten some moss and she put a small amount of mousebile on it before dabbing away at the shecat's fur- this was going to take a while but she couldn't careless,she said she wanted too change and this was the second stone of many on the path to redemption- the tricky part was CreekTounge,she wasn't sure what to do, the smell of mousebile started to get to her but she continued to lightly dab at the fur,ticks starting to drop off from the smell."Well since we are going to be spending time together you might as well know my name, I'm DawnPaw- moved here with SkyClan,This must be a first punishing a SkyClan cat right?".She said this in a joking tone- as if trying to start a conversation even if she knew the old Molly was probably just going to run her into the ground and treat her poorly, DawnPaw was many things but a oblivious mousebrain wasn't one of them, she knew fully well she was going to be treated horribly but when hadn't she been treated this way? Both her parents basically hated her as a kit and then CreekTongue treated her that way for the sake of it- most cats are no different.

Bubblingbee snorted at the apprentice’s remark,” You reek of Skyclan. Just because I’m old doesn’t mean I can’t smell.” She replied letting the apprentice work. She was mad she hadn’t found anything the apprentice had done wrong yet, so she couldn’t really punish her for anything. Hmm..she needs a nickname, I’ve got Skinpatch who I’m punishing right now, hmm.. Smellypelt?Elderlover? Hmm...she is strangely a happy apprentice who seems like she wants to be doing this. she narrowed her eyes slightly,” When I’m done with you, you won’t be all smiles.” She grumbled.

Spiderpaw made it known to everybody within earshot that she detested being carried, screeching and wailing in distress accompanied by thrashing around crazily in attempt to dislodge her scruff from lionstorms jaws. However most efforts were in vain until he tossed her down into the elders den, colliding with the dusty ground with a ‘humph’ sneezing as dust covered her face.

‘ ‘ who do you think you are greeneyes I think you- ‘ ‘ she was interrupted hearing that annoyingly familiar voice fill her ears. She had avoided the grumpy elder for her entire life hearing her scold apprentices for even looking at her- now it seemed like their meeting was inevitable.

She whipped back towards lionstorm ignoring the silver tabby and staring at him with an almost desperate look ‘ ‘ I’d rather die than spend an hour with this flea bag- ‘ ‘ she fired at him tail whisking furiously as she heard her demand from over her shoulder her wyes rolled and her fur bristled, she looked over her shoulder at her putting on a venomous grin ‘ ‘ oh joy- I just can’t wait. What you’ve got a few moons left of life- might as well die looking pretty right?

DawnPaw rushed out of the den padding at a quick pace, she merely assumed ShiverPetal was RiverClan's Medicene cat- she gathered a large pile of moss in her jaws and was back in the elders den quite quickly."4 minuets and 29 seconds".She said this calmly as she dropped the moss to the side,Once again, this is not punishment but more so like training.The cream Molly set to work, luckily she didn't have to tell the old Molly to move and she was cleaning out the old bedding, laying out the fresh new bedding,patting it down with her paws and checking to see if any thorns were hiding in the moss somewhere but it was all clear , she quickly left the den and came back with a few feathers and lined the mossy nest with them before stepping back slightly allowing the elder to sit down."Well- Have I met your satisfaction Miss fleabag?".She spoke in a light but calm tone,She felt her confidence rise as she continued to do this- compared to CreekTongue's painful punishments this was better, The cream Molly headed towards the prey pile and brought back a fish for BubblingBee,The taste in her mouth made her cringe- she definitely will never eat this. She set the fish down in front of the elder,she was doing everything she might be asked next except for the worse punishment which she assumed was going to be handed to the other apprentice who was still complaining.

Bubblingbee hissed in response to being called a flea bag and stood up and swiped her paw across Dawnpaw’s face with unsheathed claws,” You could have been faster.” She remarked. She glanced at the fish and shook her head,” That fish is far to scrawny fetch me a larger fish, the elder’s get first pick in prey.” She remarked,” I want salmon.” She replied,” Then you can finish putting my nest together.” She finished.

[wren]

Bubblingbee narrowed her eyes at Dawnpaw,” I don’t like your smile. I doubt anyone likes it. You are dabbing to little, you need to dab more, and make that stench go away!” She growled angrily.

~~~
Bubblingbee snarled at Spiderpaw,” You might die sooner if you don’t obey me, Skinpatch!” She spat as she hurried up to Spiderpaw and aimed a blow at the side of her face with unsheathed claws.


Spiderpaw hissed and was about to spin and fire back at her comment but was taken off guard when she felt the elders paw swipe at the side of her head, taking fur with her. Spiderpaw reeled at the blow taking a few steps back and staring at her with an expression of shock "Did you just hit me you flea bitten mousedung!" she spat furiously claws sliding out "Did you just hit me?" she snapped

[BEAR.]

Jaws parting in a yawn, the ragged form of Shatteredfang uncurled and stretched, pale yellow eyes blinking as he stared at the familiar pelt of Bubblingbee, and the less familiar pelts of Spiderpaw and Dawnpaw.

Ugh. His muzzle twisted with disgust when the reek of SkyClan filled his nose, and he straightened himself to a sitting position as he stared down the two young cats. "What do we have here?" he questioned, voice gruff. "Ya brought in two kits and ya didn't tell me, Bubblingbee? For shame, I could use some paws to sort out my own pelt." He bared his teeth at them, his snaggletooth jutting out noticeably.

"Have ya ever tackled a real tick infestation?" he challenged them, no apprentice in particular. "I've got enough blood sucked outta me to fill an entire puddle. Which one of you has the guts to try to sort through that? Probably not ya, SkyClan. Ya've been too pampered, sittin' on the edge of every war 'cause yer leader's a yellow-bellied coward who doesn't want to stand up for himself."

DawnPaw was at first confused what the elder was about to do but as the shecat went too aim a blow to her face she tried to dodge but she felt the stinging sensation as BubblingBee managed too knick her face, luckily DawnPaw was able to lessen the blow- she might have started bleeding if it wasn't for her reflexes. The Cream molly stood there stunned for a few moments before her face twisted slightly- her calm, joking and somewhat happy attitude towards the elder shifted slightly, she wasn't sure what to do or say but for a moment she swore she could feel her facial expression twist into something not so friendly looking but she took a breath to calm herself, her facial expression was as blank as a clear sky, ignoring the stinging sensation that was burning her right cheek."...Did that make you feel better or do you need to do it again?".Her tone was low and serious sounding, for a slight moment, her blue eyes narrowed at her comment before saying in a calm tone."Actually, I've already finished your nest so no i do not need to finish that and you should be grateful for the prey your given but if you must be so picky then okay". She was trying her best not too let out her anger, she could feel her more unpleasant part of her start to bubble to the surface but she suppressed the feeling.
'I am not who i used to be- I Won't show weakness, and being ill-tempered is not going to resolve anything and I've learnt that first hand...I won't yell or fight back if it isn't going to benefit me...I just need to keep calm and besides, she can't control me forever'.
She repeated her own words in her head, it took every ounce of her to keep herself from lashing out at the old shecat.DawnPaw returned to the Elders den on purposely dropping the salmon onto the ground slightly to the side of the elder."Your Welcome by the way".She said this in an unreadable tone, still, she was grateful she wasn't anything like CreekTongue- Her dark forest mentor indeed handed out her punishments by being violent but it wasn't something that happened often but when it did- DawnPaw would be scared out of her mind.

Hearing another voice from behind her she raised a brow as she looked at the old tom, Just how many of these grumpy fleabags were there? DawnPaw narrowed her eyes slightly before spoke monotoned."How long did it take you to come up with that one?".She didn't particularly care what others thought of her leader or what others thought of her but it didn't mean she was going to let it slide without a comment. The cream molly sighed somewhat, being in this den for this long was making her rethink her previous actions, she slightly rubbed her cheek that had been knicked with the back of her paw- it wasn't too bad but it stang, after a moment she sat down, she gave a side glance at the other apprentice who was still causing a commotion.

She narrowed her eyes at Spiderpaw,” Damn straight I did Skinpatch, I needed to teach you a lesson. If it weren’t for the warrior code, I’d kill you.” She replied angrily,” Now, I’m giving you two minutes to fetch mousebile and take care of Shatteredfang pelt, or I’ll remove more skin from you!” She spat angrily.

She glanced at Dawnpaw,” It taught you a lesson, trust me, I don’t want to be this mean to you, but I have no choice, you misbehaved and I have to do this, I wish I could disobey Lionstorm- ha! You actually believed I didn’t want to do this, pathetic Uglysmilekit.” She spat,” Besides respect your elders, even my friend Shatteredfang!” She spat.

Bubblingbee turned to Shatteredfang,” Ahh yes...Lionstorm wanted me to teach these miserable misbehaving kits a lesson.” She purred happily enjoying her conversation with Snaggletooth,” Besides it’s fun clawing these peony kits to teach them a lesson. Lionstorm only has one rule when the kits are in my custody, no killing them. I can leave them with the incompetent Shinefang, but I can’t kill them or let them out of camp. I chose not to let them have time off. If you want to join in on their punishment, just be mean to them. I call that Spiderpaw Skinpatch. And that excuse for a Dawnpaw, Uglysmilekit.” She replied Those nicknames are self-explanitory.

[BEAR.]

Shatteredfang rolled his eyes, leaning forward on his paws as he gazed intently at Dawnpaw. "How long did it take ya to toss out all yer hard work, Raggedypaw?" It was a reference to the old scar on her shoulder, a mark that parted some of her fur. "Guessin' there ain't much thought goin' through that thick skull o' yers, if yer goin' around pissin' off a Clan deputy."

His acknowledgement to Bubblingbee was a sharp nod, though he was more interested in the stinking SkyClan apprentice and her less smelly companion. "Killin' kids is too easy, anywho. Remember that, Bubblingbee." RiverClan was superior, and they needed to act like it. Killing was below them.

Lionstorm's ears twitched as he approached the elder den, having managed to calm down from the earlier confrontation.

He still disliked that stupid SkyClan kit, but he had a better punishment in mind for her.

"Creampaw," he barked Dawnpaw's new name as he entered the den. "Instead of elder duty, you can enjoy having your warrior ceremony be delayed by a moon. Bubblingbee, I know how much you enjoy tormenting your apprentices, but feel free to take any of your frustrations out on Skinpatch." He shot Spiderpaw a dark look. "I know I'd love to. Shellpaw, you're dismissed. Get out of my sight."

She purred to Shatterdfang,” I wasn’t gonna go killin’ Uglysmilekit, just send her to the Shiverpetal for enough time that when she becomes a warrior all her friends and littermates will have apprentices already.” She remarked causally

She glanced at Lionstorm forcing down her disappointment,” Aww... I was looking forward to crushing her desire to help.” A look of pure disappointment briefly crossed her face before she approached Dawnpaw and breathed into her face showing her yellowed teeth that were chipped and cracked. Her teeth had dead fleas stuck between them. Her breathe reeked of rotten fish,” Darn, I was looking forward to you cleaning my teeth.” She huffed her breathe into Dawnpaw’s face once more letting the reek of rotten fish out of her mouth into Dawnpaw’s face.

She shrugged and turned to Spiderpaw before snarling,” You’ll clean my teeth, maybe start by picking the dead fleas out from between my teeth! Got it Skinpatch?! Or will I have to turn you into all Skin.” She threatened baring her fangs at Spiderpaw,” And if I did that Lionstorm wouldn’t take you back until your skin regrows. So you’ll be an apprentice forever unless you start cooperating.” She remarked before turning to Lionstorm and letting her eyes twinkle in amusement as it was fun to her yelling at Skinpatch along with the visual of Skinpatch just being Skin. It’ll be a cold leafbare with no fur...

DawnPaw huffed slightly,Hearing the old Tom she caught him gazing at the scar at her shoulder,one she had received as a kit- she spoke Monotoned."Ever heard the term ignorance is bliss?".She turned her profile slightly as if becoming defensive about the mention of the scar,once again a comment flowed out the elder's mouth and she spoke in a half joking tone."Well what can I say? Pissing off others is my specialty".Honestly she hadn't been herself lately between QuickFeather and the mess called her life her retorts haven't been as good as they usually are. The cream Molly's ears perked slightly hearing LionStorm giving a slight sigh at the incorrect name.'Im stuck in a den with a Psycho Old fleabag, a Fishfaced Elder who enjoyed insulting Skyclan, a apprentice who doesn't know when to Shut her muzzle and a bossy deputy with a short-fuse, great what's next? Might as well invite LarkStorm and CreekToungue too the bunch!'.The angry thought flashed through her mind but she forced her self too take a breath and just let it go, which she could honestly say was the hardest thing she's done all day.DawnPaw flashed a glare at BubblingBee upon hearing her words but flashed her a smile- a very much forced one."What a shame! I guess you will actually have to use your own paws to do something!".As the Molly tried too get close to her she stood up and took a few pawsteps to the side,before turning to LionStorm."Well,I can handle that but thank you for your generosity".Her tone was calm but she had a small smile on her face,she was exhausted and she wasn't sure how much more of this she could take before she herself blew a fuse."Yes yes- Don't have to tell me twice, Well I'll see you around or not either is fine with me".She said this calmly giving a polite dip of the head as she quickly escaped the den,The fresh air and sign of freedom was almost as if it was a miracle.'Safe to say that the leaf doesn't fall far from the tree when it comes to RiverClan cats and their stuck up pride'.She thought this in a somewhat exasperated way and she padded off towards the territory to catch a break from all the craziness.

Dust

"Duststorm?" Graypaw called out, his voice muffled with dry moss and a minnow. His tail dragged miserably as he entered, and his nose wrinkled uncomfortably at the smell of old pelts. This had to be his second-least-visited place in RiverClan (the medicine den being first), so he had no clue who any of these cats were. He scanned the unfamiliar sea of old pelts, hoping one of them would perk up in acknowledgment.

Duststorm better not be deaf. Graypaw thought, his ear flicking impatiently.

[Dust]

"Hrrm, huh?!" A gruff voice mumbled from the darkness, dank pelt stink radiating off the elder in massive waves. It must have been eternities since he had last groomed himself, "Hrmm's that?" Duststorm grumbled, blinking against the darkness of the den. "Who are you?" Once his eyes had adjusted, the orange tabby stared at the apprentice with confusion, seemingly studying them with narrowed golden eyes. With a defiant snuff of his nose, he continued, "You ain't one of them no good kids of mine, right?"

With a defiant snuff of his nose, he continued, "You ain't one of them no good kids of mine, right?"

Venus

When Duststorm approached him, Graypaw couldn't help but wrinkle his nose, leaning back to avoid the horrible stench radiating from the elder's pelt. By stars! Does this cat ever bathe?

"Not exactly," The silvery apprentice replied, a bit flustered by the elder's question. He placed the minnow and pile of moss in front of Duststorm so he could speak more clearly. "My name is Graypaw. I'm here to freshen up your nest for the night. I also brought food." He nudged the fish at Duststorms paws, hoping he would be pleased with his offering. It was a pretty decent size for a minnow, the biggest he could find in the fresh-kill-pile at this time of year.

Sitting up to look around the dark den, Graypaw squinted. "So...where do you sleep?"

[Dust]

"Ohh.. Good!" The elder pursed his lips, his shoulders rocking back and forth as he pronged the moss beneath him pleased with the apprentice's words. It had been a while since he had decent company, none of his children had visited in moons! Oh well, this apprentice, Graypaw, would do.

"Why, this is muh bed, right'ere!" His muzzle curled in delight as he wriggled himself off the nest, bringing his bony frame to a wobbly stand pulling the minnow along with him. "I know I used to hate this job as'n apprentice, too. Them elders were always sourpusses 'n I'll tell you what, havin' to clean their nests was even worse! They sure do got mouths on them though." Duststorm plucked a patch of moss from his fur, simply throwing it onto his old nest as he settled onto his rump. The nest itself, well... it was atrocious. It was clear that he hadn't left it for a while - stale, stinky moss with a few bugs wriggling around, yet the tom cat didn't seem at all bothered as he continued on,

"I remember back in our old territory, SkyClan that is, I fought a HUGE snake as 'n apprentice. One of them, whatcha call'em... adder snakes. A real scary one too!" Somehow during this story, Duststorm's eyes had sealed shut, but as he was about to continue, a single golden eye peered at Graypaw through the slight darkness. He just wanted to make sure his company was still here!

[Doom]

Graypaw was slightly amused with the old tom, surprised by how lively Duststorm was for his age. When he was revealed the...remarkably wretched nest he was supposed to clean, the silvery apprentice squirmed uncomfortably, his stomach cramping at the sight of it. How could Duststorm sleep in a nest like that? It must've been so long that he's gotten used to it, judging by how comfortable he was acting with it. It made Graypaw sad in away. Nobody deserved to sleep in an old grimy nest. "Here," Graypaw mewed, beginning to scrape the old nest into a ball. "Let me start clearing this away for you."

Keeping an ear angled on the elder as he worked, Graypaw couldn't help but perk up at the mentioning of snakes. "Wait, really?" The depressive dullness in his brown eyes finally cleared up a bit, being replaced by a light of interest. "You fought an adder before?"

Dust

[Dust]

The elder gave a hearty laugh, pleased to find that apprentice was, in fact, listening to him! "Of course! Now, lemme tell you about this snake. It was about six tail-lengths long 'n all slimy and brown like the leaves. I was on patrol with my mentor, 'n he didn't see the thing... but I did! I watched as it tried to up and strike his legs, it's whole underbelly was orange as the morning sky! I jumped straight into action! Raced forward and gripped it's neck between my jaws. The damn thing didn't lay a single tooth on my mentor! He was so proud of me, had me commemorated as the All-mighty snake killer!" Duststorm burst into a fit of dusty laughter, his whole body shaking with each giggle. A lopsided, yet amused grin rested on his maw as he leaned down to take a bite of the minnow... though his nose scrunched in distaste as he chewed forever.

"I'll never get used to this fish nonsense. Fish this and fish that! At least it's soft so it doesn't hurt my teeth... Do you like fish? Being a RiverClan apprentice 'n all?"

Eaglepaw trotted eagerly into the elders den, his moss-filled mouth growing tired of the weight. he still had much more to do. He ran over the steps carefully. Ask if they need new bedding, check the moss for thorns and sticks, form the nest, ask if they need anything more. He set the green fluff down, nose wrinkling at the pieces that's are still on his tounge. He really hoped this would please the elders. Everything had to be tip-top. He ventured further into the den, his brown fur fluffing up at the slight draft that entered through the den.

"Hello! Does anyone need new bedding?" He asked, smiling cheerfully.

Graypaw sat in awe, his ears drinking in every bit of Duststorm's story like sweet honey. The elder's excitement lightened his mood a bit, bringing a genuine smile to his face. "That's really cool," Graypaw commented when the story was over, returning his gaze on the nasty nest so he could scrape up the last of it. "I've had my fair share of adventures, but nothing like that. I guess the action isn't for me, though. It seems to get me in trouble." Finished peeling the past of the old nest off the dried earth, Graypaw began laying down the fresh moss, fluffing it up with selective downy feathers.

Glancing over his shoulder when Dustsorm commented on the fish, the silver apprentice shrugged. "I like it, then again I grew up eating it. It can be a little salty sometimes. Don't tell anyone, but I birds are my favorite food." He patted the last of the moss together with his tail, giving a satisfied nod when it was done. "Alright, your nest should feel much better now."

"Bubblingbee," Pigeonpaw called out, her mew muffled by the fat trout she carried in her jaws. Her mouth watered with the desire to take a bite of it, but she knew she would only get into more trouble if she ate before feeding the old cat.
"Frostflight told me to come change your bedding. I brought you some fish," She told the elder, dropping the savory morsel at her paws. She tried to keep her voice sounding kind and pleasant, but she was still grumpy that she hadn't been allowed to help Graypaw with his part of their punishment for sneaking out. The whole escapade was Pigeonpaw's idea--she hated that her brother had gotten the worse punishment. He didn't deserve that.

"Hey, I'm just trying to be helpful," Pigeonpaw squeaked dejectedly as she nudged the fish towards the elder. She began to sweep together the old bedding to dispose of it. I hope Graypaw comes back with the fresh moss soon, she thought. Bubblingbee didn't seem like the type to tell fun stories.

Bearkit poked his head into the elders' den, icy green eyes wide with curiosity. "Why is it so dark in here?" He mewed to himself, squinting. He'd been out exploring the camp all day, but none of the dens were as boring as this. As the fluffy kitten ventured further into the den, his nose scrunched up at the horrid stench. "Yuck! This place reeks! Arent the apprentices supposed to take care of this place?" He batted a paw at an old empty nest. "The beds aren't even bouncy! Where are the feathers?"

Bearkit shook his head in disapproval. "Anybody here wanna borrow some feathers from my bed? Or...maybe I can fetch an apprentice to get some for you?" He looked back at the entrance, blinking as he thought. He caught sight of the fresh-kill-pile across the clearing and immediately perked up. "Food!!" He gasped, darting back out of the den without warning.

Moments later, he returned hauling a squirrel by its tail. "Anybody wanna share?" He purred loudly, eyes beaming with hope that someone in the den would be interested in eating with him.

Herringwave lifted her head at the new scent having entered the den, admiring the shiny icy-green eyes poked into the entrance. He noticed the kit begin to venture around, chuckling at his tiny comments about the dark elders den. She was about to stand and speak, give the small kit some answers to all his back-to-back questions. The she-cat opened her mouth, but just as she did the kitten had already zoomed as fast as his tiny legs could take him to the fresh kill pile!

She assumed he must have thought of something better to do then stay in this mucky den. Herringwave gave a small laugh and turned back to her nest, resting the haunches she has previously raised in the act of standing to greet the kit. She had just relaxed when the small kit had returned, dragging a squirrel into the den by it's tail. She laughed softly, then heard the small kit give a request for an eating partner.

The small elder stood and walked near those beaming icy-greens, admiring them yet again. She had just emerged form the darker part of the den, giving a small purr. "I would love to share a meal with you." The sweet Riverclan elder purred gently. She looked over the pelt of the tiny creature, with squirrel tail in it's mouth. Quite a sight, she must admit, yet an adorable one at that. "I'm Herringwave, and you are?"

Bearkit's eyes rounded when an older she-cat revealed herself from the shadows. He dipped his head in greeting to her, remembering his manners. "Oh, thank you!" He purred back, settling himself adjacent to her.

"Herringwave?" Bearkit echoed. "Your name is very pretty," He nudged the squirrel closer to her, encouraging Herringwave to take a bite. "My name is Bearkit! Nice to meet ya!" With the introductions out of the way, Bearkit bent down and took a greedy bite from the squirrel's belly. He made sure to chew the meat well before swallowing. The moment his mouth became available, Bearkit spoke. "How can you live in this place? I thought apprentices were supposed to take care of you guys...?" He took another look around the depressing den and frowned. "Or do you just like living in the dark?"

Once Graypaw had finally returned, Pigeonpaw was very quick to finish cleaning out and replacing the bedding. She double checked it to make sure there were no thorns or wet spots in the moss before putting it into place--the last thing she wanted was to give this cranky elder an actual reason to yell at her.
"There, done." She gave a curt nod to Bubblingbee before excusing herself without another word.

"Alright, Petuniakit," Pigeonpaw chirped, glancing at Beetlepaw and realizing she ought to hurry it up. She didn't want her friend to get chewed up by all those bugs. She'd be scratching for days.
"The elders will be so glad to see you!"

She flicked her tail to gesture to Beetlepaw to split off so that she could cause a proper distraction as the trio padded across the clearing and to the elder's den. She had just been in here not long ago, changing that old hag's bedding. Pigeonpaw wasn't the kind of cat who would be deliberately mean, but Bubblingbee deserved every bit of her internal bad-mouthing. She flashed a smile to the little kit who trotted next to her as she lead the way into the cozy den.

"Really!" The young kit exclaimed the question in a tone far from a questioning tone. She was just excited.
So, Petuniakit followed the apprentices eagerly. The Elders excited to see her? That was a fun thought. She never thought anyone would be excited to see her.
Skipping into the den behind Pigeonpaw the little dual colored molly didn't even notice Beetlepaw slip away. She wasn't really paying much attention though. Her mind was filled with what the elders would be like.
"Hello!" Petunia chirped to any elder willing to take her greeting. The young molly really wanted some cat to talk to. The encouragement she had received about the elders being excited to see her made her that much more excited.

Grouseheart had managed to get his nest made just to his liking and had finally settled down in it with a small puff of breath. Despite the guilt and embarrassment of having to retire due to his age and inability to move around like he used to, the tom had to say that he did like the Elder's den. It was comfortable, warm, easy to sleep in with little to no drafts of wind whipping through.
And with enough time hopefully he'd get to know the elders he didn't already know. But for now, he was getting settled in, getting used to his new form of living even if it mostly dealt with relaxing and not having to do much of anything. Lionstar said that he would have a duty though, and he was curious to see what that duty would be.

Ears perking up at the sound of a young voice, Grouseheart lifted his head, emerald eyes glimmering happily. Young cats brought him joy, they were so bright and happy and excited most of the time, much like how he was, and being around them brought back his old self. Purring softly, the recently retired leader would meow in response, "Well hello there, to what do we owe the pleasure of seeing you?"

[Jesse]

Beetlepaw was more than glad to finally get out of the nursery. Between the bugs and the stale air, she thought she might suffocate if she was forced to stand there any longer. She nodded in Pigeonpaws direction and split off from the group, hurriedly slinking off around to the back of the elders den where she would be able to peep inside and wait for the opportune moment to sneak in and plant the stick. But which one was Bubblingbees’? What if she was sitting in it? They really didn’t think that through did they? Oh well. It didn’t matter much to her in the end as long as somebody got bitten. She cautiously poked her head through the brambles. There was Pigeonpaw and that bouncy Petuniakit who had already caught the attention of Grouseheart. Wasn’t that the old Skyclan leader? Was he really that old? Whatever, at least he was out of the way now.

Beetlepaw slowly stretched a paw out of the brambles, careful not to stir them and alert the attention of the elders. When she was fairly certain they were all preoccupied with the other two, she quickly hopped the rest of the way through and shimmied as quietly as she could over to a nest that she hoped was Bubblingbees. Glancing anxiously over her shoulder, she upturned a small part of the nest and delicately nudged the stick into it until it was hidden. When she was satisfied with her work, Beetlepaw motioned to Pigeonpaw and slipped back through the hole in the wall she came in. She scrambled around to the front, flashing Pigeonpaw a mischievous grin as she slid to stop next to her. “I don’t actually know which nest is Bubblingbee’s.” She giggled softly into her ear. “But I guess we’ll find out.”

"Hi, Grouseheart!" Pigeonpaw grinned as she shuffled into the den with Petuniakit, smiling as the elder greeted her. Yeah, she was here to pull a prank on Bubblingbee, but she was unapologetically excited to speak with the former SkyClan leader. She was always one who loved hearing stories, and she was excited to ask this old cat about his history. All the things he must have seen!
"Do you have any stories for us?" She asked him, her eyes alight. "Oh! Could you tell us about the old SkyClan camp?" She had obviously never seen it, but she knew that they had came from somewhere else. She also knew that Fallenstream had lost most of his lives while visiting there. Oh, all the stories there could be!

Pigeonpaw let out a mrrow of surprise when Beetlepaw re-emerged into the den and announced the completion of the task. She gave her a mischievous grin, feeling satisfied with their little prank on the crankiest of the elders.
"Beetlepaw! You're just in time to hear Grouseheart's story!" She exclaimed, encouraging her friend to stay and listen. Not only would she enjoy her company, but it would also make it seem less suspicious that they were here.

It didn't take long for an elder to answer her greeting. That made Petuniakit smile. Well smile more then she already was. The young molly didn't know many RiverClan cats even if they where her Clanmates. "Pigeonpaw brought me to meet you!" She answered brightly glancing up at the grey tabby beside her. Petunia didn't know any of the elders. Or much about the Clan past a moon ago due to not being there long. She was learning how things worked. Yet when Pigoenpaw asked Grousehart to tell them about SkyClan the white and ginger kit's face twisted in confusion. "What is SkyClan?" The young molly asked.
Excited for any possible stories Petuniakit sat down in front of the old tom, amber eyes full of curiosity and life. Though her ears did sway as she heard a cat enter behind her. Beetlepaw, back from somewhere. Wonder where she was? The kit mused watching the two apprentices share a word. They seemed to get along, maybe she was the only one that got on Beetlepaw's nerves. "Yeah!" She added in agreement to Pigeonpaw before truing back to the former leader.

Ears perking up as he realized it was more than just one kit who decided to pop by, he couldn't help but grin even wider, the tip of his tail curling in delight at seeing the youngsters. He remembered when he was a kit how he enjoyed visiting the elders and hearing their stories, they always had so much to share. And now he could share his own with the little ones. He loved it.
"Well hello there," he purred in response to Pigeonkit, his eyes lighting up at her question and then her mention of Skyclan.
"Oh I have plenty of stories to share with you, but I can certainly start with the Skyclan camp. In fact, did you know that my clan came from a place far away from here? Beyond the Twolegplace?" With a twinkle in his eyes, the older tom re-positioned himself into a much more comfortable position for storytelling, his eyes looking from Petuniakit to Pigeonpaw before finally resting on Beetlepaw, waiting for all of them to get settled before he would start.

"Before I moved my clan in to join Riverclan, we didn't live too far away from here, less than a days walk. It was a large forest, plenty of rocks and trees to jump and climb, though it bordered a darker portion of the forest that used to have the Dusk Syndicate. Eventually they did fall apart, but no one dare goes there now out of fear the evil cats are still lurking there." Grouseheart quieted his voice and leaned his head in with wide eyes. "They used to take kits and apprentices, stealing them from their clan to force them to train with the Syndicate! And I heard that if they didn't train like they wanted them to, they ate them or fed them to badgers!"

[Dust]

Perhaps they had meant to pull the prank on someone else, but while Duststorm had been away doing old feline things - staring off into space, stinking up the clearing... things like that - it just so happened that Beetlepaw slipped the stick into the wrong nest! Nosing his way into the den, he stumbled through the dim lighting, pushing gently through the parade of kittens trotting about.

"What's all this nonsense fer..." He half-grumbled, giving Grouseheart a questioning look. He was always glad to have company, depending on who it was - but the addition of Grouseheart to the elders den seemed to make every young feline gravitate here! With a 'humph', he threw himself into his nest and tossed for a bit, finally deciding on the most comfortable spot.... Honestly, he didn't even seem to notice the stick poking directly into his back thigh. And he rested. Eyes closed, calm steady breaths. That was until his skin began to twitch, rolling like waves up his back that sent him shooting from his nest with a holler,

"I GOT BUGS'N MY NEST! THEY CRAWLIN' ON ME!" It was absolutely ridiculous the way the feline danced about the den, pushing n shoving before plopping straight onto his rump, turning with great effort to nip the creepy crawlies from his pelt.

"GET 'EM OFF!"

Beetlepaw barely stopped herself before she groaned. Oh Starclan no.. I’ll be dead before he finished this story.. Where in the stars was Bubblingbee? Why wasn’t she here where the nasty old elders like her were supposed to be? She was beginning to get frustrated. Her fur had bristled out to their ends, making her look like angry black burr with legs. Ugh! I knew we should’ve gone with the fish plan... She was visibly fuming now, about ready to get up and leave. There was no way she was going to sit and wait until she passed out from exhaustion just so she could see some dumb old flea-bag sit on a bunch of bugs. The nervy Beetlepaw nearly went ballistic on Duststorm after he’d made the mistake of gently grazing her as he brushed past, but cut herself just as she was about to form words when she realized where he was headed. Her mouth hung agape, she watched in shocked silence as he stepped into the nest unsuspectingly. So it wasn’t Bubblingbee’s nest after all.. There was a long, tense stretch of quiet after he laid down that seemed to last forever. She stared intensely at his curled up figure, waiting anxiously for the bugs to start biting him. Despite that, she still wasn’t fully prepared for his reaction when it happened.

The little black apprentice leaped what could’ve easily been an entire fox-length vertically into the air at his sudden yowl, hitting the roof of the elders den with a thud. When she finally tumbled back to the ground, she stayed there stunned for a moment. But after the initial shock wore off, she exploded into cacophonous laughter, cackling until her sides ached and tears streamed down her furry cheeks. The sounds of his wild screams.. The ridiculous, frantic dance he did trying to shake the insects out of his pelt. It was all too much. She thought she might pass out or choke on her spit. “AHAHAHAHAHAHAH!! BUG BUTT!! BUG BUTT!!” Beetlepaw’s legs had buckled beneath her and she had begun rolling in the dirt, gasping and gulping for air between her fits. She took it all back! This was worth it! All of it!

Pigeonpaw had almost forgotten about the prank altogether as she listened to Grouseheart's story, enthralled. She snapped out of her little daydream when she heard Duststorm yowl with frustration. Oh stars, she put the branch in the wrong nest! She hadn't realized that her prank-buddy didn't know which nest belonged to Bubblingbee. I should have been the one to place the stick! She had wanted to let Beetlepaw be the one to do it, since the she-cat seemed to desperate to prove herself and be important, but it had lead to the wrong cat getting pranked.


She felt awful, since Duststorm had never done anything to harm her, but it was funny. Once the instance of shock had passed, the fluffy young tabby couldn't manage to stifle her laughter. She giggled both at Duststorm and also at Beetlepaw's intense reaction. She had to admit, it was pretty nice to see the grouchy apprentice actually laughing and smiling. She hadn't seen her look this happy before. She made a mental note to involve Beetlepaw in more practical jokes.


"Do you need some help, Duststorm?" She offered between bouts of laughter. She did feel bad, and would of course help clean up this buggy mess, since she'd helped cause it. She just hoped the elders wouldn't put two-and-two together and decipher that she and Beetlepaw were the culprits.

(I'm so sorry this is late!)

Petuniakit listened in interest as Grouseheart spoke of SkyClan. The places he described sounded cool. Pretty too. Sounded like a place you could go to climb a lot of stuff. "Wait what's Dusk Syndicate?" She asked amber eyes wide. All these thoughts about the scary sounding group rushed through her mind. Were they still out there? Could they try to steal her or kill her? She must be lucky that she wasn't kitnapped when she was by herself.
With the sudden yelp from Duststorm Petuniakit almost jumped out of her skin. What happened to him?! It took the young molly a moment to register what was going on. Oh! He got bugs in his nest! She mused watching Duststorm for a while. Unable to figure out what to do with Beetlepaw laughing and Pigeonpaw offering to help. So, Beetlepaw can laugh! Does that mean she just doesn't like me? The ginger and white kit wondered.
After a while of just starring she stepped closer to the elder. "Oh, uh I can help." Petunia offered calmed a bit.

[Fuzzy]

Hmm. Maybe she could visit the elders? It was fun when Beetlepaw and Pigeonpaw brought her here last time. Even if that Elder, mister Dusty something got bugs in her fur and scared her. But she remembered hearing stories from mister Grouseheart. He was a cool elder! He told her a story about this Clan... SkyClan! That's what it was. He used to be leader there. She never even hear about it till she talked to him. Now she was going back.
Petuniapaw had even found some pretty feathers to bring him. They weren't as good as flowers. But her petaled friends were all gone now. She was accepting that she'd never see them again. At least feathers were soft and colorful like flowers, but they didn't have the smell. "Hello?" The ginger and off white apprentice called through her mouth full of colorful feathers. Reds, browns, blues, yellow and black. "Mister Grouseheart?" Petuniapaw added stepping fully into the elders den. She blinked her honey colored eyes adjusting from the light outside. Lately she'd been kind of bored waiting for her time to train. It was supposed to take this long, right? She didn't know honestly.

Turning to Fogpaw specifically, she softened ever so slightly. He had a hard enough time as it was, that much she could tell, and she wasn't going to make it any harder for him. Unlike Bubblingbee.

the elders' den wasn't a place where kits probably should want to spend their time, but perchkit didn't mind it, anyway. after all, elders were usually perfectly fine with his "weirdness," though perchkit didn't mind if the kits disliked it. at least he could have fun here, with cats who took most things in stride. it was kind of nice, though perchkit tried not to hang out in here too much; after a while, it got to be too much even for him.

"hello?" he mewed in a quiet voice, poking his head into the den. "anyone here?" sometimes, he would come in and wait for them to get back; other times, he chose to wait and enter once he was sure someone was in there. it all depended on his general mood that day.

Bubblingbee heard a kit enter and hissed raising her head slightly,” Fie! Fiend! Scat!” She hissed as she was woken up by a pesky little kit asking if someone was in the den. Bubblingbee disliked kits significantly, despite having them herself, which she didn’t like either. Why do these horrid things get allowed in camp, they should be in a separate part of the territory away from the warriors and elders...

honestly, that wasn't quite the warm welcome that perchkit had envisioned when he'd entered the elders' den. he'd thought that he would be treated nicely, greeted by some sweet old she-cat or tom who was willing to sit down with him and tell him a few stories. instead, this was who had met him.

"well, there's no need to be so rude," he mewed, sounding partially offended. "aren't elders supposed to like kits?" it sounded rude, though perchkit hadn't meant to be. he just wasn't quite sure what to do in this situation.

Bubblingbee raised an eyebrow and gave a huff,” Well you woke me from my nap. ” She grumbled, trying not to be as mean as she was with apprentices, being as kits typically had over-protective parents who’d come scolding her for yelling at their precious little kit. She huffed,” No, just most are mouse-brained enough to like kits...this is why kits should have a separate camp, away from the warriors and elders...” she narrowed her eyes slightly at the pesky kit.

ugh, was she really gonna be one of these cats? okay--sure, perchkit probably had woken her up, and he hadn't exactly been sympathetic about that, but she didn't have to be rude. he hadn't thought elders had it in them. moons of experience should've knocked the rudeness out of them, or at least, that's what he thought.

"whatever," he grumbled, with a scowl on his normally sunny features. "maybe you should have your own camp away from everyone else. see how much you like it." far from a respectful answer, but perchkit wasn't in much of a respectful mood right now.

Lotuskit shyly dipped her head as she entered the den.
"U-um excuse m-me..the Warrior Code and... you should be fed and...DO YOU NEED ANY HELP WITH ANYTHING?!" the last part came out as a yowl. She was so shy she couldn't help it. Her huge shoulders sagged as she sat down her massive body in the dirt, waiting to be scolded for yelling.

Petuniapaw jumped a bit at the sudden, and loud, sound of a cat clearing their throat. Her amber eyes fell on an upset looking elder but the little apprentice smiled of at her. She was her elder after all. "Yes Ma'am." Petuniapaw chirped instantly going over to her. It was hard to keep a happy face with the slight glare she was getting but Petunia stuck it out. I haven't done anything yet... its fine.. "My name's actually Petuniapaw, but I might be like this Politekit…? I really don't know." She admitted. "I don't know your name Ma'am." With a shuffle of her feet as added.

Bubblingbee narrowed her eyes Maybe she’s a bit tougher than I thought, I figured she’d be running to her mentor by now crying about the mean elder. She smirked a bit amused that she was trying to like the name Politekit, “ Well, I like Politekit, and maybe if you impress me I’ll promote you to Politepaw. ” She grumbled,” I have a lot of fleas and ticks in my pelt. I want you to remove them. ” In a slightly threatening tone she meowed,” and if you miss one I’ll... ” she trailed off hoping the apprentice got the point,” Bubblingbee, I’ll sting you like a bee if you mess with me .” She suddenly chirped with a bright phony smile before returning to her usual mean demeanor.

Patuniapaw focused on the den's floor when Bubblingbee narrowed her eyes at her. Only returning when the elder spoke. Oh... it wasn't a real cat named Politekit, it was a nickname. That made more sense, though the whole if she liked her she'd promote her to Politepaw was... hard to understand. She was good at making cats like her, in her head. "I'll be sure to get them all Miss Bubblingbee!" Petuniapaw exclaimed not sure how else to respond. It seemed like she was going to be in big trouble if she messed up. Petunia didn't want to be in more trouble not after just getting back.
Swallowing hard the dainty apprentice moved around to look through the elder's fur. "May I remove the fleas first?" Petunia asked

After hearing the apprentice swallow she gave a nod,” Yes you may Politekit.” she replied flatly. Pausing to decide what to say while the apprentice worked, deciding to have a little fun she smirked slightly,” ya know, back in my day, when apprentices made mistakes we’d have to take care of the elders for a moon and didn’t get to train for that whole moon,” she paused trying to think of a way to scare her more,” and if it was a big mistake, your mentor would simply kill you, that’s what happened to my brother, Streampaw.” she replied. Bubblingbee wasn’t lying about what happened to her brother, except his mentor killed him for messing up an attack in battle training, not for something actually bad. She glanced at Petuniapaw in curiosity at how she’d react.

Bitterthorn rolled her eyes, shifting over in her nest to face the two felines,"'Sting you like a bee'? Really? I don't know how anycat puts up with your crap, Bubblingbee. Maybe it's because I'm stuck in here with you and they're not." she meowed, voice harsh and bordering on a hiss, "And don't lie to scare her, stars! Nothing like that ever happened. Not training for a moon because of a mistake is ludicrous. Ignore the old bat, Petuniapaw. And while you're at it you may as well leave the fleas. I'm sure they're the only beings who enjoy her company."

Nodding, mostly to herself, Petuniapaw started to go through the grumpy cat's fur. Keeping her eyes focused on her back. A whole moon?! She thought glancing up a bit surprised by that. It sounded terrible! Not as bad as what came next however. "K-kill you? For... a mistake?" Petuniapaw croaked out, amber eyes wide. A harsh hiss from yet another elder in a foul mood, brought her attention away from Bubblingbee. Well this one seemed to be on her side? Honestly Petunia wasn't sure how to act. The other elder did say that killing apprentices was a lie. That fact had her relax a bit, her slightly frizzled fur laying down. "Umm I don't think I can do that Ma'am..." The apprentice almost mumbled to Bitterthorn. She wasn't sure what she was supposed to do or how to act. At least she knew she had to be respectful, that was hard though...

Bubblingbee snorted to Bitterthorn,” Well, they still did kill my brother for messing up a battle move. ” She snapped back. It was partially true, that was his reason to murder Streampaw, but his mentor wasn’t exactly every mentor, he was unreasonable and insane,” Keep working Worryingkit!” she reminded Petuniapaw after deciding to change the name because of the way she reacted to learning how mentors treated apprentices.

80 moons? wow, that was old. perchkit was almost five moons old himself, but 80 moons... that seemed like a really, really long time.

"do you have any friends?" he asked, tilting his head to the side. he wouldn't have been surprised if the answer was no, honestly, but at least then it was a natural segue into his offer, which was that he could be her friend. what? perchkit liked making new friends, even if they were a little out of his age-range.

Bubblingbee smirked,” I served my clan, I caught plenty of fish for our clan and served in a good couple of battles.” She rumbled trying once more to suppress her amusement, hearing the question about friends she smirked,” Friends?

perchkit wasn't exactly looking forward to being in battle, but he wasn't going to completely toss the idea of it being exciting aside. after all, from what he understood, there was nothing like being locked in combat with another cat. "what was it like? being in battle, i mean. not the fishing." he wrinkled his nose a little at that. he couldn't imagine fishing being all that interesting; then again, it would serve the clan, and that was what really mattered.. right?

"cool! i'll be your friend!" he offered with a proud smile, puffing out his chest a little bit. he might've been a little weird, but at least he was a good friend. or.. he thought he was, anyway.

This was confusing. One saying to stop one saying to get back to work. Petuniapaw's head was spinning. With a deep breath the ginger tabby patched molly looked between the two elders. It was sad, she didn't know if she could trust Bubblingbee and Bitterthorn was telling her to stop working. Just stay happy! No one wants you to be sad! Petunia reminded herself. Swallowing back her fear and confusion, forcing her fur to lay flat, she smiled at the grumpy elders. "Right away Miss Bubblingbee." Petuniapaw assured the old molly. She wouldn't mess up so she was fine, after this she could help out Bitterthorn... and maybe wait a bit until she returned. It was hard to be called 'Worryingkit' because it felt like an insult but it was probably true.

perchkit listened intently to the she-cat, his head tilted to the side a little. the way she was speaking worried him a little bit--after all, anyone who would be excited about wounding their enemy was someone that he didn't really wanna mess with. but then again, what harm could be done... right? he wasn't going to turn out the same way (at least, he thought he wouldn't), so he could be friendly now.

"do you ever miss it? being out there, in the thick of things?" he asked, settling down a little further. she seemed to like him more now--that was good. perchkit didn't like pushing his luck that far, especially with grumpy old she-cats like this one.

Bubblingbee slowly made her way into the den with massive branches and sticks she had made apprentices collect for her. She looked and the den and started dragging the sticks into the middle of the den, she laid them out and began slowly weaving the smaller branches into the big one, she kept working until she had formed a wall in half the den so she could stay away from Bitterthorn, but not make a new den, splitting the back half of the den in half.

Petuniapaw still avoided the elders gaze. Ms. Bubblingbee wasn't nice and Ms. Bitterthorn was hard to understand. The small apprentice shook her head at the question. "N-no..." She mumbled, finished cleaning the fleas from the elders pelt. This felt like punishment. Petuniapaw had liked elders like Mister Duststorm and Mister Grooseheart but both of them were gone and now Ms. Bubblingbee was just mean... "I couldn't find any ticks, so can I change your bedding?" The young molly asked finally glancing up at the old she-cat. Bitterthorn was quiet so Petunia had almost forgotten she was there.

Bitterthorn raised a brow at the elder before rolling over once more. This was tiring. "Pathetic?" she meowed, voice as calm as ever though still gravelly as if coming out of a long sleep, "Honey, if anyone here is pathetic, it certainly isn't me. Pathetic, I do believe, is an old hag who needs to bully others just to boost her own self-esteem." That came out with huff, more of annoyance than anger. She just wanted a comfy nest and nice sleep, was that so much to ask for? Apparently so. That... gave her an idea though, "Perhaps you just missed your midday nap? Is the wittle owld elder gwumpy cause she missed her nappy wappy?" she mused with a grin.

Petuniapaw jumped slightly at the his. Swallowing hard, it was hard to swallow though as their was a huge lump in her throat refusing to let her. Getting called kittypet made her gaze downcast. That wasn't entirely wrong. Her mother was a kittypet before she was born.... They ginger and white molly just nodded at Ms. Bubblingbee's words unable to force words out. Her amber eyes felt like they were burning with the threat of tears. N-no... no one wants to see you sad! She scolded herself ears slightly pulled back.
Hearing Ms. Bitterthorn's voice again Petuniapaw decided to go get the spare moss she'd brought and some feathers and flowers from right outside the den. She was making the two elders fight wasn't she? Again over her being called names... Sniffling slightly Petunia started cleaning out dead moss from the elder's bed.

All of a sudden, Mumblekit saw Fernkit dash in, looking around. She's looking for me, he thought grimly. He didn't get the chance to even listen to a story, not once! He found that Fernkit's eyes had seen him, since she called real loudly, "Mumblekit! Me and Nightkit have a surprise for you!" Mumblekit didn't listen. I'll pretend she's not there, he thought. But Fernkit just called even louder. "Mumblekit!" No. You won't make me come. Never. "I'm gonna tell every kit in the nursery that you're being such a grouch!" Now THAT got his attention. "Fine.

She wanted to be joyful, not some crying apprentice being insulted for something unknown to her that she did wrong.
Sniffling Petunia fixed the nest as nice as she could, even sneaking some feathers and flowers in the nest. Maybe that'd make Ms. Bubblingbee stop hating her... Looking up with glossy amber eyes she just nodded. "...I finished you nest." Petuniapaw chocked out swallowing the hard lump in her throat. It was hard to talk and she could barely keep her eyes from pouring like a river. Why couldn't she just be happy?

In a flash, Lionstar was in the den with his paw jabbed right at Bubblingbee's face. "Stop harassing children, you withered old bat. If I hear one word about you insulting one of our Clan-mates, regardless of age or what they've done-- you're done. I will not tolerate you bullying anyone here. Do you understand me?"

To Petuniapaw, he was a little gentler. "You've done enough, Petuniapaw. Ignore her-- she's just a fox-heart who's angry at the world because the only cats that liked her died a hundred moons ago. Go get some food and take a break, okay? You've done a good job."

[ Fuzzy, Zesty Mango ]
(This is sooo amazing, I’m laughing so hard rn that I’m crying)
Bubblingbee held her gaze with Lionstar, while she didn’t want to be respectful to Lionstar, she didn’t want to get exiled,”Yes, my honorable Lionstar.” she meowed a bit sarcastic, but not mean, flicking her tail with narrowed eyes she added,”It’s sarcasm, not meanness.” she added

[BEAR.]

Lionstar leaned over Bubblingbee [ Zesty Mango], hardening his gaze. "I don't care if you think you're being sarcastic. You have been out of line too many times, Bubblingbee-- and unless you clean up your attitude and act you are on a very thin line. Don't test my patience more than you have or I will have you fed alive to birds."

It wasn't an idle threat. He would.

"Bitterthorn [ shortstack], I know how much you love sourpuss here so please, keep me updated on if she is continuing to harass others. Her blatant disrespect of cats better than herself will not be tolerated."

Bubblingbee’s eye twitched,”What happened to respecting your elders?Eh?” she meowed hoping to get out of this treatment.

[BEAR.]

"What happened to being a decent cat?" Lionstar retorted, unfazed. "You haven't done a damn thing to have anyone respect you. You're rude, inconsiderate, and you spend all your Starsdamned free time tormenting cats younger than you. Fix your dung or deal with the consequences of your actions."

[ Zesty Mango ]
Bubblingbee rolled her eyes,” Fine.” she meowed slightly annoyed,”But can I tease Bitterthorn, since they are my age?” she asked.

[BEAR.]

"No."

Lionstar was unwavering. "Since you have decided to be disrespectful to me and uncooperative for most of this discussion, you are no longer allowed to make fun of or be mean to others. You cannot be rude, you cannot be insulting, you cannot be sarcastic. Everything you do needs to be polite and friendly. If anyone tells me you've been anything but kind and courteous, you're done."

She was furious she fought every instinct in her body to call Lionstar a foxhearted ignorant kit, instead she dipped her head,”Yes....Lionstar.” she meowed through gritted teeth her eyes clearly blazing in fury, but her behavior polite.

[Puddle~]

She stuck her head into the elders den. She had never been inside before. The other apprentices had told Berrypaw tales about kits and apprentices being terrorized by the grumpy old Bubblingbee. But today she had been sitting in the clearing, listening to Lionstar scolding the elder. Now's the perfect time to poke some fun at her. She smiled wryly as her eyes adjusted to the light. "Hellooooo, Bubblingbee."

Bubblingbee narrowed her eyes at the apprentice, Lionstar’s warning still fresh in her mind and Bitterthorn’s watchful eye,”Go away, I’m going to nap...” she paused knowing Bitterthorn wouldn’t hesitate to report her,”please” she grumbled hating that word.

”No thanks, I think I’ll stay for a while,” she mewed, calmly. Berrypaw appeared poised and calm, but on the inside she was holding back a fit of laughter. “Got any fleas or ticks you need taken care of?” She nodded towards a small wad of mouse bile sitting nearby.

[duckie]

Bitterthorn
__________

Bitterthorn smiled at that. Lionstar seemed to be able to talk some sense into Bubblingbee - or at the very least strike the fear of homelessness into the old bat's heart. She wasn't so sure that the other elder to could keep up a 'nice' routine but that's why she happily accepted the task given to her, "Yes, Lionstar, I do absolutely adore her company so I will be sure to keep my eye on her at all times! Wouldn't want her slipping up, now would we?" she mewed wryly, sending a wink in Bubbling's direction. As much as she hated the idea of spending even more time in the molly's vicinity, it would be fun to watch her squirm.

(Whoo...she’s hating this)
She wanted to insult Berrypaw or simply scare her off, but she knew she couldn’t,”Sure. I’ve got fleas and ticks, please make it snappy.” she meowed emphasizing the please fighting every instinct to be sarcastic.

(hehe, this is so evil)
Berrypaw picked up a wad of moss soaked in mouse bile and immediately wrinkled her nose. This smells disgusting! No wonder fleas and ticks hate it! But it suddenly gave her an idea. She innocently dabbed the bile on a few actual ticks so Bubblingbee wouldn't suspect anything. Then, she carried on with her plan. "Oh dear! It looks like you've got a giant tick on your face!" She picked up the bile-soaked moss with a paw and shoved it up against the elder's nose, rubbing it all over to make sure the foul scent would linger for a while.

Bubblingbee couldn’t help it, she was a bit rude, though she hoped Bitterthorn would understand her reasoning,” Enough, get that mousebile out of my face, I don’t have a tick there!” she shouted giving a slight hiss.

Bitterthorn
__________

Bitterthorn couldn't help but let out at amused mrrrow at that. Good on Berrypaw for getting a little bit of revenge - harmless too, really. No need to stoop to Bubblingbee's level, "I don't know Bubblingbee, I think Berrypaw's right - there was definitely a big tick there. Or maybe it was just the sour look on your face, who knows. Either way, it doesn't seem like you're being very nice, to me. Perhaps I'm wrong. What do you think, Lionstar?"


[ Zesty Mango Puddletail BILL. ]

[BEAR.]

Well.. this just proved to Lionstar that Bubblingbee was more idiotic than she looked. "Bubblingbee, why don't we take a walk." It wasn't an option as he flicked his tail toward the den entrance. If she tried to resist, things would go very poorly for her, very quickly. "Berrypaw, could you be a dear and gather up as many apprentices as you can, and a warrior escort? I'd like for you to go to Lionsbeach.. I have a very important task for you there."

Back to Bubblingbee. "Come on, get up. You clearly cannot handle being in camp, so let's get you some fresh air."

Bubblingbee glared slightly at Lionstar,” You saw what Berrypaw did, what kind of cat doesn’t react to that. I didn’t insult her or anything!” she meowed fighting to insult him for this.

"Yes, sir!" Berrypaw let out one final giggle at Bubblingbee and ran out of the elders' den to gather up all the other apprentices.

[BEAR.]

"I said," Lionstar even made a point of speaking slower but louder, in case Bubblingbee was too slow to understand normal speech, "we're going on a walk. Get up, you old bat."

And to encourage some movement, he kicked at her back. "Come on, don't make this harder on yourself."

Bubblingbee got up slowly,” So you’re going to exile me now, huh? Why not just get up on the Streamstone and do it now, or what?” she meowed rolling her eyes.

[BEAR.]

"I didn't say anything about exile in regards to going on a walk." As far as Lionstar saw it at this point, exile wasn't enough for such a vindictive little creature. "No, we're going to get you some fresh air. And if you keep giving me issues, I'll be more than happy to kick you around every step of the way." He didn't feel sorry for her, not in the slightest. Bubblingbee had plenty of time to repent for her actions and refused to.

"You go first." He was happy to send a couple more encouraging kicks toward her rear. "Lead the way out of camp, grandma. I can't have you slacking on me now!"

Bitterthorn
__________

Intrigued by this, Bitterthorn climbed to her paws and followed the three out of the den. Sure, she wasn't an apprentice as Lionstar had asked for but, she wanted to see what the leader had in store.

[The Shadow Flower]

MistDapple would sit in her nest, reminiscing about when she was an apprentice.

[Loon]

Loonpaw padded into the elder's den, a wad of stinky moss in her jaws. She had just returned from training and was ready to help out any way she could think of. During her quick look around, however, it seemed that every duty she could think of was either already done, or in the process of being finished. However, she realized, she hadn't yet learned to clean ticks off elders, and figured it might not be too bad.


Now that she had the bile-soaked moss in her mouth, however, she figured otherwise, but kept the digusts off her face as she gently set it down. Looking around the den at the elders, she suddenly felt shy, realizing this was the first time she was meeting any of them since she had joined- at least face-to-face.


"H-Hello. I'm here to clean off any ticks or fleas...." She meowed, unsure.

[Pancake]

BILL.

(Can I join? I just created a new elder named Dusktail, a white she-cat with a black tail and dark blue eyes. Join request!)

[Pancake]

Dusktail sat up in her nest. "I don't think I have any ticks, Loonpaw, don't waste your time on me... I think some of the others may, though. It's nice to see an apprentice who wants to do duties!"

[Loon]

Dusktail sat up in her nest. "I don't think I have any ticks, Loonpaw, don't waste your time on me... I think some of the others may, though. It's nice to see an apprentice who wants to do duties!"


Loonpaw gave Dusktail a weak smile, and purred.
"I'm sure the other apprentices want to do their duty..." She meowed, not wanting to speak ill of her clanmates. So far she hadn't really talked to any of them thouroughly, but... well, they still seemed nice enough.
"Are you sure? I can still check if you'd like, unless anyone else has some they definitely feel?" She meowed, glancing at the other elders.

Dusktail sits up and starts to scratch her ear with a hind paw. "Yeah... when I was an apprentice, I bugged the elders constantly. I was like a burr in their fur sometimes. But I enjoyed listening to the *Ahem* endless rabble of stories! It makes the duties go faster." She turned over to groom a spike of fur sticking up along her spine. "I think Mistdapple said she had a tick earlier... Maybe check on her first." The old she-cat reached back to groom her jet-black tail before settling down into her nest.

Loonpaw chuckled at Dusktail's comment and padded over to check on the elder. She glanced at Dusktail, curiously. She hadn't been born in the clan, so she had never had the opportunity of hearing elder's tales, though she heard the other apprentices talking about them constantly. She felt a little out of the loop, she had to admit. Once she finished checking Mistdapple, she padded back over to Dusktail.
"You know, I've never actually heard any elder's stories... if you have the time?" She asked a bit shyly, not wanting to disturb the elder's grooming.

Come settle down on this pile of moss and tell me what ya' want to hear about! I'm sure I can recall something." She beckoned with her dark tail to a pile of fresh moss near the side of the den.

[Quasar]

Pouncepaw

Snowpaw quietly padded into the den, a large crab hanging from her jaws, um, I brought you some fresh kill. she mewed, laying the crab at the paws of the elder.

[Pancake]

Dusktail looked up sleepily at Snowpaw. "Thanks, Snowpaw." She shelled and took a bite of crab. "It's been so long since I last ate crab. Did you eat yet? If not, go get yourself something off of the fresh-kill pile. Young cats need to eat."

Snowpaw smiled at dusktail, "I haven't eaten yet, but I want to bring fresh kill to the queens and kits first." she needed, dipping her head to the elder. She started to pad out of the den.

Snowpaw smiled at dusktail, "I haven't eaten yet, but I want to bring fresh kill to the queens and kits first." she needed, dipping her head to the elder. She started to pad out of the den.

Loonpaw glanced around the den, before quickly settling into the moss next to her and hummed thoughtfully. What to ask about... well, there was so much she wanted to know!
"What was Riverclan like when you were a kit? What were the clans like while you were growing up?" She asked, her eyes wide with curiosity.


[ Pouncepaw ]

[Pancake]

Dusktail smiled and let out a purr, closing her eyes. "I was born before the time of Lionstar. He was born when I was an apprentice. But, when I was a kit, my littermates and I were always off doing crazy things like falling into streams and catching minnows and even getting chased by angry ducks. We got in trouble a lot, but our mother never came up with punishments harsher than picking ticks off of elders and getting rid of old bedding. I liked it. It made me feel like an apprentice. But, growing up, RiverClan was almost as powerful as ShadowClan. We were strong, confident, ranking just above ThunderClan. But things change. Also, when I was growing up, we viewed the other Clans as different from us. We didn't have loyalties in other Clans, let alone relationships. They were just different societies. Yes, we respected and sometimes even were even in debt to one another, but we didn't socialize very much. A Clan is a Clan. A different group."

Cottonpaw padded into the elders den with three fish in his mouth. It had been a while since he visited them. He wanted to know everyone including the elders. They must be hungry. "I have brought you some food. I thought you three might be hungry." , he meowed. Cottonpaw recognized Bitterthorn from the last time he visited. The white tom wondered how everything was with them.

The Shadow Flower -Pounce- shortstack]
(If any of you are interested in making your elder suffer through him)
Blizzardkit had calmed down a little bit after getting his apprentice ceremony pushed back, now he was more than determined to prove to Lionstar that he was ready to become an apprentice in half a moon. So he was doing something that maybe would be described as responsible, apprentice duties. He assumed the word would get around fast that he was doing apprentice duties in the elder’s den.

Blizz padded into the den with mousebile that he had fetched from the medicine cat den he wrinkled his nose at the stench of the den as he set the mousebile don and loudly asked,” Who’s got ticks they want gone?” he hoped that if he got rid of nasty ticks and put feather’s in their nests he’d be made an apprentice in half a moon, he wasn’t willing to become a new cat just to be a warrior. If he wasn’t made a warrior in half a moon he’d flee Riverclan and join Shadowclan just to spite Lionstar.

The elder barely glanced up as two bodies entered the den, the only indication that he noticed being a twitch of his nose at the smell of fish and subsequent wrinkling as Blizzardkit brought in the mousebile. How disappointing. How was anyone supposed to have a nice meal with that terrible scent hanging about? The den would stink for a few days, at least.

"Thank you..." He paused, trying to separate the scents. He didn't feel like turning over to see who it was, "Cottonpaw. And no thank you, Blizzardkit. I would much prefer you take that foul-smelling bile out of here."


[ Zesty Mango Sparkling Bliss ]

[Mango]

Blizzardkit was bummed out and returned the mousebile before returning, frankly he wanted to prove he could be an apprentice despite his little fight with Frozenpaw. He glanced at Bitterthorn,” Can I do something to help? I can’t change your nest since I can’t leave camp...but I could collect feather’s around camp for your nest or give you my nest...” he meowed, he hoped that Bitterthorn would let him help so he could prove to Lionstar that he was ready to be an apprentice now.

[Dawneye]

Dawnpaw came in and began changing the nests, purring excitedly as she did so. She was happy to help the elders. She was hoping to hear a story but wouldn’t push for one.

[Shade.]

Lotuspaw walked into the elders' den, mouth full of clean bedding. She enjoyed helping the elders very much. Not all of them were nice, but she didn't mind, as long as they didn't bully her for her size. As she set the bedding down, she noticed Gingerpaw in nearby. Maybe she could convince him to help her.
"Hey, Gingerpaw! Wanna help me change bedding? " she called out.

Estelle

[Estelle]

Gingerpaw, as very often, lay in the clearing, his ginger fur reflecting the rays of sun. It was a nice day, but Gingerpaw was tired. Actually, when wasn't he? But still, those mass amount of fights Lionstar had organized certainly took a toll on his close to non-existing energie. It hadn't been that many in reality, but anything active that goes beyond two rounds is a mass amount in the young tom's opinion- and he went beyond two fights. But oh well, it was over now.
That was when he suddenly heard a call from a somewhat familiar voice. eeerrr.. Lotuspaw? Yeah. He gave a flick of his tail in response, not feeling like getting up or even turning around to face her. Changing bedding just sounded so.. exhausting, and while he had some form of respect for elders, and elders only, some of them just never stopped complaining. Really.

Lotuspaw noticed her friend's grumpiness. He was probably too lazy. Well, she wasn't giving up.
"Maybe one of the elders could tell us a story. Or we could talk about stuff. Come on! At least come and be lazy there." she meowed as she trotted over. She dipped her head and used her muzzle to push Gingerpaw on the back in order to get him to stand up.

Gingerpaw closed his eyes and tried drifting off to sleep, but it appeared that his friend had a different plan. He grunted as she nudged him, tail giving a small flick- she really wasn't going to give up, was she? He sigh before grumbling an "fine" if she insisted. He finally got up, head lazily hanging low and eyes half closed, and yawned before getting to his paws, practicaly dragging them to the elders den. He was going to be lazy there, unless the elders started complaining again.

"That's the....spirit?"she said, not sure if it was spirit or simply him not wanting her to keep being annoying.
"See, Its not that bad. You already do nothing. You'd be perfect for an elder!" she joked. She grabbed her bedding pile and started replacing the old one, trying not to bother any elders.

The elder glanced up at the entrance of the apprentices. He gave a small grunt and rolled over to his side, watching Lotuspaw in particular as she began to change the bedding. Sure, having the apprentices come in to do their chores for the first time in moons was nice but lately, it seemed they all wanted to do it at once. It really was a pain when you just wanted to get a nice nap in.

Lotuspaw pushed away the old bedding. Her clumsy, gigantic paws ware at least good for something. Take out the old bedding, will you?" she asked Gingerpaw. Hopefully he'd finally do something. She wanted them to impress their mentors and maybe even Lionstar. She noticed Bitterthorn watching her.
"Sorry if we woke you up, Bitterthorn. Do you need anything?"she asked in a worried voice.

[Estelle]

On any other day Gingerpaw likely would've given an "heh" to her comment about him being perfect for an elder, though he was still drowsy and perhaps grumpy from the lack of sleep the young tom got the other night. Once inside the elders den, Gingerpaw quite literally was going to be lazy there- in other words, he ploffed down in one of the old nests. He twisted and turned a few times before lowering his gaze and parting some of the moss. Just as he thought: thorns. The ginger apprentice scoffed and started to remove the prickly things, muttering "stupid mouse brains" under his breath at the poorly done work. "watch out for any thorns" Gingerpaw warned with a lasting mutter, offering a glance to Lotuspaw.

Now, it wasn't that he didn't notice Bitterthorn, he just decided to not pay any attention to his grunt; it wasn't like they were being loud or anything. Though faintly, Gingerpaw couldn't help but wonder; did any of the elders still remember him or his littermate, Goldenkit? Not to long before she and their mother.. passed.., he and her snuck out of he nursery while their mother was sleeping, going to visit the elders den. They kept shushing each other until a small squarrel broke out between the two though an elder, amused by their argument, broke them off. She ended up telling them about her younger days and the story of the 'first starclan cat'. It had been nice, he had to admit, and his sister ahd been completely captivated by what they were told. But those day were long gone now, long long gone.

While in first instance Gingerpaw had ignored Lotuspaw's request, he eventually did start removing on the bedding. Slowly, yes, but still. It was halfly so he wouldn't have to think about those days, but maybe also a little bit because of the small form of respect he actually had for elders. Slowly.

"Why is it you kids always come in when I'm trying to sleep?" he muttered, more to himself than anything else. With a yawn and a deep stretch, he climbed to his paws and nudged the old bedding towards Gingerpaw gently. Thorns? Mmm, right, he had almost forgotten about that.

"I'm not sure whether that was supposed to be some cruel trick," he replied, referring to the thorns in the nest, "Or pure carelessness from apprentices trying to get their chores done." The elder shrugged, seemingly unbothered by the whole thing. He had spent a long time in the den and spent many moons dealing with the apprentices and kits that came through. It was all routine by now. He could feel Gingerpaw's glances and didn't pay them much mind. Even in the elder's den word got around - after all, there wasn't much to do besides sleep and gossip. The news of the tom's mother and sister had certainly reached his ears though he wasn't aware of specifics.

[Shade.]

Lotuspaw flinched at the elder's words. Who would do such a cruel prank. Clanmates should help each other, not hurt each other. She wished she could teach other cats that. She turned to Gingerpaw.
"Anyway, thanks for helping me with this."she said with a smile.

[Estelle]

"seen the amount it's likely carelessness" Gingerpaw muttured in response to the elders words. Most apprentices were mouse brains, yes, but only few seemed to actually be capable to get such idea into their heads; and seen as the thorns were plaguing much more nests than he'd like, it was unlikely all of them could have been a cruel prank. Though if it was.. those few cats certainly were dummer than the dumbest, weren't they?
He lifted his dark green gaze from the bedding to glance at Lotuspaw before giving a "hm" along with a nod. It wasn't like he specifically enjoyed being here, but he did have to admit that the elder's den seemed to be one of the few dens that were actually somewhat quiet, if not the only den. Maybe he should consider trying to sleep here? Although he doupted the elders would appreciate it. Then again, they might just not care. Shadeleaf shortstack

Bitterthorn

Bitterthorn offered another unbothered shrug, poking at one of the newer nests before rolling down into it, "I wouldn't be surprised." he mused, "At least you two seem to have your heads on straight. I appreciate that. Most of the apprentices that come through here seem keener on disturbing the peace than actually getting anything done."


[ Estelle Shadeleaf ]

[kieryn]

Frostkit wandered in bumping into the walls around her, she couls smell the other cats there"h-hello?is someone there?" she flicked her ears and tripped"ack!"

[Estelle]

"disturbing the peace seems like all they can do.." Gingerpaw muttured as he made his way to another nest "nevertheless not all are as awful as the other" and then he was still being nice, some apprentices he found straight out incompetent; even some of the warriors if he had to be honest. Though one thing they all had in common, "they do all seem to forget to use their brain however, never have their heads on if you put it differently" Gingerpaw gave a dissatisfied scoff at that. And yet another nest with thorns. And that wasn't all. During those battles that had been organised, half seemed to forget that they could dodge, really, it was disappointing if anything.

Riverclan only had three elders at this moment in time, so Coastpaw made quick work of changing the moss in all three nests and then adding the soft heron feathers to each. He would cast Splashfury a content smile every time she went to check on him. The tom didn't mind this kind of work even though it was just plain old apprentice duties, he was just glad to have something to work on that kept him from getting bored. He'd rather be super busy than not at all.

Splashfury held her breathe as she smelled some mouse bile and a mouse boil covered tick crushed to death on the ground. How did the elders even withstand such smell? Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, she picked up the tick with old moss and put it in a pile to throw out later. Splashfury plucked something violets that were growing near the river and spread the scent around the den. Violets were one of the sweetest scents she ever inhaled. It was so much better than the smell of mouse bile. “Alright, I believe we are done with the elder’s’ den. It’s a good time to head to the apprentices’ den!” Splashfury meowed to Coastpaw.

Coastpaw's nose twitched and he resisted the urge to sneeze as Splashfury spread violets around the den. It did smell better than mouse bile, but he wasn't fond of the pollen coming off of those flowers either. Ears perked at her words, he nodded. "Alright, I can do the apprentice's den if you get the warriors den, then?"

After she disposed the violets seeing that Coastpaw was looking like he had allergies, Splashfury nodded at his words. “Okay, once you are done with that, that will be the end for today. Get some rest and we will train again. See ya, mighty Pike Fish!” she meowed and carried the old moss out.

Coastpaw nodded back. "Got it!" He meowed, heading off to the apprentice's den with his part of the leftover heron feathers.

Splashkit bounced into the elders den, and looked around. Does anyone want anything from the freshkill pile? she asked, trying to sound polite. She hoped none of the elders were grumpy today, or she'd end up in trouble again. Pancake The Shadow Flower wnder

[Pancake]

Dusktail sat unmoving in her nest. She did seem to be breathing, didn't she...? gs29513

[gs29513]

Dusktail? Are you alright? Splashkit asked tentatively. Pancake

[Pancake]

Dusktail was still limp in her nest, and she was definitely not breathing if you looked... gs29513 BILL.

[gs29513]

Splashkit crept closer, and felt Dusktail. She was cold, and she wasn't breathing. Breath catching in alarm, Splashkit tore out of the elders den. (She's going to make everyone PANIC :) )

[-Ash-]

A silver she cat padded in,"Is this the right place?" She asked looking around, her eyes were grey and glossy
"Answer that yourself. Are you an elder?" Mapleleaf asked

Mapleleaf looked up. "Have your mentors taught you to be quiet?"

Having dealt with the noisy nuisance that was Splashkit, Sootflare ducked into the Elder's den to see what the situation really was. A quick inspection showed that Dusktail was, in fact, dead. Cold and unmoving. And the smell was beginning to permeate the den. It would be too much of a hassle to bring warriors in here to remove her. Wordlessly, he slipped under the elder's body, adjusted till it was solidly laid on his back, and made his way out of the den.

[gs29513]

Splashkit paused outside the elders den, remembering the last time she had been in there. You go in first. she mewed to Stealthkit and Sootkit. StealthWarrior Sootsplash

[StealthWarrior]

"Alright." Stealthkit sighed, it was her bad idea, she would take the brunt of it all, "I'll go in first." she stumbled into the Elder's den, not knowing what to expect. gs29513 Sootsplash

[sootsplashed]

Sootkit followed Stealthkit into the elders' den, giving a smile to all the old cats."Would you like us to do anything for you?" The light ginger-brown and gray she-kit said, being as sweet as possible in an attempt to get the elders to hopefully not be grumpy.

Mapleleaf looked at the kits. "Stealthkit and... Sootkit. Yes, that's it. Sootkit. Don't you have better things to do than hang out with old cats?" She hoped it didn't sound like she didn't want to hang out with them. She'd like some company.

Sootkit shook her head. "we to in trouble and now we're going to hang out with you guys a wot." She smiled at Mapleleaf, her fluffy tail brushing the ground.

"Oh, so it's a punishment to hang out with us?" She smiled at the kits.
