ThunderClan: Life Before 2020's Fire

[Marblemoon]

A tortoiseshell she-cat tentatively pads around the Thunder Clan territory, sniffing out new scents. The new scent is so unfamiliar to her, but it is the scent of cats. She pads onward, hoping against hope that she will find her way home.

Sunsnow gave a nod of acknowledgment and looked around the clearing in search of his apprentice. "Mosspaw!" He called out. "We're on patrol today!"

His little interaction with Buckbranch had made him trust the tom even less because of his temper, and Sunsnow did not want to leave camp.

Oh, well, he thought.

It's not like I can neglect my duties as a warrior.

@xoyami @Slushie
Mosspaw lifted his head from where he was standing, big eyes looking up at his mentor as he heard his name get called. It took him a few moments to register that he was going out into the territory!! A bright smile blossomed on his maw as he quickly made his way to his mentor, bumping into his side slightly with his head before standing right next to him.

“What are we doing?” He whispered up to Sunsnow, floppy ears perked up as much as they could be, curiosity ebbing from the Tom.



@Alaska
The Bengal mix let out something that was a mix between a yip and a squeal, an excited distorted sound coming from his throat. He practically threw himself at the molly, squishing his face into her chest fur, looking up at the warrior in excitement. “I was born ready! Where are we going? Are we gonna go to that new place?” Geckopaw quipped, his face morphing from giddy to serious in a few seconds flat. On a scale of 1 to 10 he would clean the apprentice den to look at the new place. For a week!

Ashenrain felt Creamkit duck away from her after she was finished grooming them both. The long haired gray tabby molly watched as Crowtuft walked into the nursery. "Yes I was.", she meowed with a friendly smile. The molly finished up with her daughter. "I remember when I saw the camp for the first time. There was so much I didn't understand, but I'm pretty sure you two will love it outside of the nursery.", Ashenrain meowed.

Crowtuft purrs, his velvety voice rumbling in his chest. "I'm certain they will absolutely love it out here." He ducks his head, mewing gently to Creamkit and Smokekit. "I promise you will find some cats who love you almost as much as I do." His eyes glow with affection for the tiny kits, and he rises back to his paws. "I'll be out near the fresh-kill. Come to me if you need anything." With a flourish of his tail, the black tom exits the nursery.

Creamkit
The young tom flicked soft brown eyes towards his mother after shaking the bits of moss out of his pelt from the tussle with his sister. Hearing her words made excitement once more bubble through his pelt. He turned his shiny gaze towards Crowtuft, heart pounding a little faster in his chest as he imagined how the world looked outside the nursery. He'd only caught a few glimpses from the opening, but he couldn't wait to actually get out there and explore. His paws bounced under him as he watched Crowtuft turn and leave the nursery, sharing his sister's impatience but keeping a more mature air about him as he followed his sister to the entrance before looking hopefully back at his mother.

Same cat from her last patrol, how convenient. Spotting him not to far off, she walked up to him with a smile. "Ready to go?" she mewed sweetly.

Adderfrost smiled back as Blossomclaw padded up to him.
"Ready as I'll ever be." He mewed, tail swishing and blue eyes bright.

Laughing and trotting next to Hawkclaw, Blossomclaw pafded into camp in a jolly little mood. Dropping her prey into thr fresh kill pile, she laid down tiredly next to her mate, giving him a lick on the nose. She didn't really say anything, just took the time to enjoy the silence, somewhat, and his presence.

Open!

Ashstorm listened to the call for battle training. He wished at times that he had an apprentice himself, but he trusted Flintstar to know who should guide which apprentice. Being a mentor was a heavy job and not every cat was cut out for it. With a flick of his ear, he resumed grooming his thick, heavy coat. If he wasn't called for any sort of duty soon, he might take it upon himself to go hunting. The fresh kill pile was looking scant. Sighing softly, he glanced up at the sky. It was getting colder and prey was becoming harder and harder to find. Why focus on battle training when they needed to eat?

Buckbranch would surely know better than he did, though. Flintstar trusted him, and so Ashstorm would, too. For now, anyway. The idea of confronting either the leader or deputy with concerns made him shiver and he quickly resumed grooming. Starclan knew that he was loathe to approach either of them.

( There going to be a moon old so they can do stuff) Sparrowkit Opened her eyes and was happy to see that her siblings were still asleep. Carefully she stepped over Toadkit her sister but stepped on her tail.

Cherrybubble was wandering the camp, freshly back from a border patrol but still intent on doing something. She was glad the leader was making more efforts for patrols, that definitely helped her view towards him be less negative. As she was passing the fresh-kill pile, Cherrybubble noticed that they were running quite low on prey. She knew Flintstar was out hunting with those two apprentices, as well as another patrol, but more prey couldn't hurt right? Casting a quick glance around the clearing the molly spotted Ashstorm, another warrior but not someone she knew well. It didn't look like he was doing anything, so she approached him confidently. "Hope you're not planning on sitting here all day. If you were, you're welcome to come on an extra hunting patrol with me. We need all the prey we can get." She meowed to him, her tone demanding but with a playful lilt to it.

Juniperkit nuzzles into his mother's feather soft belly fur, his eyes shut closed as he was in a deep slumber. The tortoiseshell tom kit's frame rumbled with a purr, as he nuzzled closer to his mother and littermates.

"Whew can't believe it came on that fast!" Jaggedhawk laughed once the two were in the warrior's den, flicking his ears to rid them of the wetness that had once been snow. He cast a glance outside the den, watching the trees sway in the harsh wind that had picked up, blowing the snow covering the ground up into the air. "Guess we're not going anywhere else today until that wind calms down." He murmured, tail flicking slightly as his bright green eyes watched the snow being scattered. He then turned to look at Icedust. "Guess you're stuck in here with me now." He purred, giving a mockingly flirty wink. There were quite a few other cats in the den as well, but Jaggedhawk had stopped near the front of the den, and most of the other cats were cuddled in the back, trying to keep warm. "So, as we were trying to talk about earlier.." He licked a paw and drew it over his soaked ears, "What's been happening with you lately? How've you been?"
