Risingstorm flicked his ears at Swamprock's arrival, he shrugged it off and soon drifted off into sleep, dreams of the beautiful she swirling in his mind.

It was a early cold morning not many cats were up from their slumber. A thin layer of frost laid claim to anything that laid in its path. Pale sunlight seeped its way through the light gray clouds that laid about in the sky. The small chocolate tortoiseshell slipped out of the comfort of the apprentice den her dark blue eyes wandered through the area in search of a friend or even yet her mentor. Having received her apprentice name a mere moon ago she sighed softly a small smile erupted from the corners of her mouths. Resting back onto her hunches she drew a tongue over her maw deciding she might as well groom her fur to look decent enough to be seen by others. Her ears perking at any sudden sneak attack from others. Closing her eyes a little she drew a pale pink tongue over her white furred chest flattening the hairs that moved from it positions.[/QUOTE]
Ugh. Another day of hunting, patrolling and hearing boring rumors from seniors. Nothing new. After living a dangerous life as an alley cat, owing big debts from dangerous cats that won't blink an eye to rip him limb to limb if not paid, the silver rogue decided to escape the city life. He didn't have a choice really. It was either get killed or leave for good. It wasn't long before finding these forest cats with their guard up and having hissy fits over territory. Yet, something told him to stay with the clan cats. Maybe it's because he felt more secured? Comparing the forest and his old home- the wild is more dangerous as predators lurk in the shadows, ready to strike at any moment. Also the cats here didn't trust him much and was given an apprentice name called 'Coldpaw' , soon promoted to 'Coldtundra' not long after. The silver bengal took a liking to his name, even though it still seems strange to have such a title. Coldtundra was already coming back from hunting with two birds gripped in his strong jaws as he entered camp. He weaved through his clanmates, seeing most of them are in deep conversation and made a friendly nod when they look his way. Finally placing down his prey in the large pile, the silver warrior's icy blue eyes maneuvered through the crowd of cats until ears shot up, seeing his tortoiseshell apprentice. Oh yeah! I have to train her..man, I'm still not use to this mentoring stuff, he sighed, making his way to Splashpaw. Feeling a bit playful, he decided to sneak up from behind and quickly brush his long tail against her shoulder before the young she-cat could detect him. [/QUOTE]
Her fur fluffed up with the sudden intruder hesitating slightly she blindly swiped her paw out her claws hadn't extended to pierce the skin of the other warrior. Panting lightly she turn her gaze to see her mentor her eyes widening she gasped softly "O-oh! It's you...." Trailing off slightly she gave her chestfur a quick embarrassed groom before clearing her throat. "Im not sorry that I did that! I swear it was a total accident I didn't see you coming!" She said rather quickly her light french accident bleed into her words as she spoke towards the older tom. Calming down she huffed slightly getting up from her sitting position she stretched out her legs hearing a small pop as she did so. Arching her back she let out a soft yawn covering her mouth with her tail in the mean while. Settling back down she sighed softly "So whats on the agenda today?" she questioned glancing up at the slight shaded area they laid claimed too at the moment. Seeing the golden leaves from the trees above she let out a grumble why couldn't greenleaf last longer? Shaking her head she gave her full attention to her mentor hoping he hadn't said anything while she was lost in her own little world.[/QUOTE]
Coldtundra didn't expect a retaliation from the tortoiseshell, letting out a 'hnff' sound when jerking back, only seeing the blur of her lashing paw as it makes contact to his cheek. Dang, she's fast!, a little impressed on the fast reflexes. Blue optics focused on Splashpaw, letting her babble about that made him roll his eyes. " We're gonna go and uh...," his voice drifted off, trying to remember what the other mentors usually do daily with their apprentices. "Well, since I'm already done huntin', I'm gonna teach you some fightin' moves." A stab of irritation hit him, seeing that his apprentice's mind is going to lala land, obviously not paying attention to some of his words. But following her gaze, he to stared at the change of leaves making the ground litter of red and golden leaves. He's not so fond of winter. Especially when living in the streets, food was scarce and alley cats tend to group up- fighting over territory with the most prey. Unlike those stupid bunch, he'd find shelter at a human's home where he's always welcomed. Filled belly and warm fur till spring. It was the good life. Though, now he's a clan cat and is very concerned on how things will turn out for him. "You call this 'leaf-fall'? ..Heh, that makes sense at least," he said the last part under his breath. Once saying that, a gustsof cold wind course through his pelt that made the silver tom shiver. "Come on, lets go. If I stay here any longer my fur will freeze off or something," he grumbled, padding pass her toward the pine forest. [/QUOTE]
Letting out a laugh she shook her head "you act as if it's leaf best this is nothing compared to that! And what moves will I learn today?" she questioned as she followed after her mentor. Each pawstep she took a leaf crumbled underneath the weight of her paws. Making this into a type of game she giggled softly doing a little bop from pile to pile as the progressed towards the entrance of the camp. Her gaze wondered around as she looked 71st the collegue of colors painted before her eyes. Not a single area reaked the color of the shadow all seeming to have some sort of lightness play a role. Sighing softly she patted a pile to the side grumbling to herself as she say down. "my mentor where is it that you come from? None of the other apprentice mentors talk about the reasons like that....." trailing off from her question she waited to see of she got an easy answer[/QUOTE]
"Leaf..bare?" mumbled to himself, until the answer came flooding back into his head. It's still hard for him to grasp some of the clan codes and ways. It's frustrating but others said it'll come naturally to him eventually. Ha, hopefully. "Moves? Hm..I guess how to do a proper hunting techniques and we'll go from there," he mewed. The grumpy tom gritted his teeth as Splashpaw crushed the leaves, making his ears twitch madly until it just flattened down. Chill, she's just a small fry, calmly reminding himself. Plus, he's not so old either. Very young actually; it's already surprising that a cat his age and knowledge would cat an apprentice. While it is an honor, it's a responsibility. Something that he really sucks at. Great. The silver warrior took a glance back, watching the energetic feline relish in autumn's peek of beauty as colorful leaves dance its way down from the tree tops. To his surprise, a half-smile formed upon his maw. Be young and free while you still can. During that age, unfortunately, he didn't enjoy much of his kit-hood. Envy sparkled in his glacier blue hues, whipping his broad head forward again to focus on the path that leads towards the territory. Coldtundra's ear flicked back once at the question without a pause in his paw-steps. "How do you know that I am not clan-born?" countering her question with another.[/QUOTE]
The apprentice stopped in her tracks staring at her mentor she blinked a few times. "Its a dead ringer in all honesty..... You seem to not understand the season changing..... When I said Leaf bare you repeated what I said as if you didn't understand..... So I assumed that you were clan born. Any cat knows the season's pretty easyly" she stated her whiskers twitched to the cold touch of the morning breeze. Her ears flattened to her head as she lowered it to the ground "unless I'm wrong of course...." trailing off she looked down at the frozen earth beneath her paws. If I'm wrong and he is clan born then he must be one big mouse brain! snickering softly at the thought of that she grinned sheepishly sending a glance over to her mentor a questioning glint to her eyes as she waited to here his response to that. Her ears perked up at the sound of the rustling movement's above them the prey seeking their source of food to father before the cold season hit. Blinking a few times she fluffed out her fur her tail whisked from side to side
(we should move this to the territory and I apologize for the crappiness ;
Dewpaw smiled and padded over to berryclaw and touched noses with the tom. After that she pulled back and sat down next to her new mentor, smiling widely.
Brokenpaw grinned and looked at snakesnap, his eyes shining with excitement. They young tom touched noses with his mentor then pulled back, sighing contenty and sat next to snakesnap, happiness and excitement filling his chest.

Risingstorm awoke, immediately wakeful, he arose and shook his fur, careful not to wake any of his denmates, It must be close to moon-high soon, though maybe she isnt coming. He shook his head, he could hope. He then walked lightly out of the den.

Risingstorm came trotting out of the warrior's den, his fur still ruffled from his nap, seeing the sun setting through the trees, he let out a quiet purr, and headed for the exit. I hope she's there. He thought, his mind on the Riverclan warrior.

Dewpaw smiled and padded over to berryclaw and touched noses with the tom. After that she pulled back and sat down next to her new mentor, smiling widely.
Brokenpaw grinned and looked at snakesnap, his eyes shining with excitement. They young tom touched noses with his mentor then pulled back, sighing contenty and sat next to snakesnap, happiness and excitement filling his chest.
Sigh. Snakesnap had never been one for ceremonies; in fact, he normally tried to avoid them in some way altogether, but he happened to be in camp during when Blazingnight had called them to the Highbranch, and there was no chance of him sneaking out. He hadn't expected much out of the meeting, but oh, look-- he had become a mentor for a kit far too excitable for his taste. Mouth set in a frown, he straightened and leaned down to touch noses with Brokenpaw before sitting back on his haunches. He quirked a brow at how the apprentice seemed ready to bounce off the walls, slowly exhaling. I'm going to have trouble with this.
Adderstrike blinked her eyes open, her tufted ears twitching. with an flare of her nostrils, she scrambled into a sitting position. She blinked about three times, attempting to chase the drowsiness from her eyes.
Usually Blazingnight's maw parted in a yawn and her golden eyes dropped as she entered her den in the evening, but tonight was very different. She did carry her usual meal brought for the crippled Burdockclaw, but none of the soft and tiredness of before. Instead she entered swiftly, and as soon as she had done so she twisted to look out the entrance, her fur prickled with nerves. Seeing no cats in the clearing, as all were tucked away for the night, she finally turned back to brown tom that lay in their shared nest behind her. Quickly, she made her way over to Burdock, golden eyes wide and frantic. The green-leaf-plump rabbit made a dull thud as it hit the edge of the mossy est.Hr fluffy striped tail flicked back and fourth behind her in an irritated manner. She wasn't gushy, excited, or in love with what news she bore. She was panicked, scared, stressed and leaning towards revolted. She didn't want this, not now. Not when she had important things at stake, what if Bucknight found out? She had wanted this to happen at a time when he wouldn't be able to know of it, so that it would better protect them. She would care for them, in a way, but not the normal way mothers did. Blazingnight didn't have time for this. the whole situation seemed ethereal, she wished it was too. She wasn't about to announce this in a squealing voice of excitement either. "I'm pregnant." She said flatly, her voice thick with panic. How could she have been so careless and let her feelings get the better of her leadership? The clan needed a strong leader not a pregnant one. She wanted to scream and run away from the situation, but that was kind of difficult to do when the situation was inside you.
Burdockclaw had been curled up asleep when his mate arrived, having the same dream he always did since his crippling. He had been running with paws that did not ache, feet that carried him as swift as a WindClan cat through the pines and water that pooled on the surface. He still had trouble with thinking of it as just the ground, instead of the world up above, something distant and strange. Then he heard someone enter, and assuming it was Blazingnight he didn't move at first, believing she'd just lay down besides him and rest. That was of course until he heard her voice.
The tom's head practically snapped off as he jumped up best he could, ears perked and eyes wide. "You're... What?" He asked, trying to clarify if he had heard that correctly. He had just been sleeping hadn't he? There was no way she could have been expecting kits... Could she?
