ThunderClan: Life Before 2020's Fire

[lone]

powdernose flattened his ears at the sound of stonegazer's voice. his eyes narrowed slightly before he trotted from the darkness of the camp's shadows, whiskers twitching. he looked at the other with an unwavering gaze, remaining outwardly stoic beneath the sophisticated stare. well, internally, powder's heart was beating as fast as a tiny little squirrel's would. his mind was racing, and a light flush had begun to cover his skin.
thank starclan he had long fur.
the tom stalked closer to stonegazer, wary of the other's intentions. was he going to be humiliated? was the older tom going to screech at him for being nothing but a lazy imbecile? powdernose froze once he had realized that stonegazer had spoken.
"oh, uh, not really. i just— just saw you walking in and thought you'd like some company," he mewed, mentally clawing himself for the pitiful excuse. of course, powdernose didn't want to admit the true reason for him following the tom. no, he would like to keep a strong grip on what little dignity he had left.
even if he did want to admit it, stonegazer would never feel the same. the silver tom would want a feline who is up and ready to battle at all times, cautious of their surroundings. powdernose was only a lazy tom who was always taking 'naps.'
huffing to himself, he flicked his tail and sat a few paw-lengths from stonegazer. his ears perked and he cast a glance towards the other, which then became a full-on stare.
An understanding look passed over the older warrior's face. Most of the warriors in the Clan were normally thinking that their clanmates wanted company - it formed tight bonds between a few of them. Stonegazer generally kept to himself, unless he had something to talk about. Not having anything particuarly interesting to say, it felt awkward being around the other tom, trying to come up with something that didn't sound like he was just talking to hear the sound of his own voice. "Oh. Well, your company is appreciated." It sounded a little too formal for a casual conversation in the clearing, but to the tom's ears, it was just how he normally talked. Depending on the cat he was around, he might try to lighten things up some, but he figured Powdernose wouldn't mind too much... he had, after all, been seeking Stonegazer out.


The slate-grey tom shifted his weight, just slightly so that it was more centered (which he normally didn't have to do, but it was probably a result of twisting around to look at the other cat) and gave the tom a smile. He wasn't really one to full-out grin at other cats, so his smile looked a little more like a thoughtful expression. Stonegazer looked like he could see the other tom, but his mind wasn't really on that. It was thinking of WindClan and the upcoming battle. That was one of the subjects that Stonegazer could really talk about for a while, discussing strategies to use and wondering when it was going to be and how bad it was going to be, and whether the new medicine cat was going to be able to keep up with things (though he generally didn't bring her up, normally it just fell in naturally with the other cat once they were talking about the battle) and so on.


It might fall under gossip, but if it was, then it was the only thing he would really gossip about. And it was what he decided to bring up, in an attempt to make more pleasant conversation. But when he turned (completely around this time) so he could face Powdernose, he found the other's gaze was already on him, staring at him in a way that was almost reminiscent of Stonegazer's own powerful stare. "When do you think the battle with WindClan will be? Or, do you not think there will be one?" He asked, seemingly out of nowhere. It might seem random to passerbys, or even to his companion, but to Stonegazer? It was perfectly natural.

A ginger and white Tom slumped onto the floor, sulking in a deserted corner of the camp, confused and angry. Dust flew up around him. Out of the corner of his yellow eyes he noticed the ThunderClan deputy, PassionBlaze, slowly padding towards him. HarmonyBlade frantically straightened himself up and make his ginger fur look immaculate. "Greetings! What brings you to me? I'm just doing a spot of grooming. Not up to much. You?"
Oh no, does that sound to...forward? To posh? What will they all think?

It might seem random to passerbys, or even to his companion, but to Stonegazer? It was perfectly natural.

"glad to be of service," powdernose replied, nodding to himself. he thought to himself, examining the features of stonegazer's frame. the silver tom was strong-willed, to say the least. paws twitching absentmindedly, powdernose tried to calm his racing heart. every beat felt like a boulder being slammed against his chest, knocking the breath out of him. was he really sitting next to his, well, idol? stonegazer may only be a few moons older than him, but that didn't mean he couldn't admire the intelligent tom.
he released a very long breath, thinking of what the other had said. what did he think of the upcoming battle? of the tension in which was forever rising within the clans? after what seemed to be quite a long time, powdernose spoke his mind.
"i don't exactly have any thoughts of the battle. yes, i am prepared for one, if it even comes. but why waste your energy worrying about what may have a chance to not happen?" the powdery tom shrugged. "i mean, yeah, i'm lazy. every day, i spend most of the sunlight sleeping. but i do know my way around things. just because i don't participate much does not mean that i don't pay attention to clan life," he spoke with a confident voice, though his form slumped as he paused.
"whenever i am awake, i try to search for my true family. or i just relax and try to savor my strength for a real battle. there's no use in a cat who is too tired to fight." powdernose ducked his head sheepishly, his tail curling around him. "that's just my thoughts, though." crouching, the off-white feline turned his gaze from where it rested on the ground. sky-blue eyes flicked up to look at stonegazer, a faint hint of worry hidden within them. what if he doesn't like what i said? he thought, tense with agitation.

Grovepaw stirred in his nest, finding it difficult to find sleep to drift into his eyes. Now, it was unfortunately normal for the slender, beige brown tom to find difficulty in sleeping, but this time he found it was because of the noise in the Apprentice's Den that he found no luck in sleeping. He bared his teeth and scratched the edge of his nest, the combination of his fidgetiness and the chatter irritating him.

"Could you keep it down?" He hissed at the awake apprentices, his demand being general due to his poor eyesight. His nest was at the far end of the den, further away from everyone else, so the distance caused him to fail to discern the culprits of the noise.

(Hey all! I'm new here, could you update me on what's going on in this thread?)

[Liekki]

“No.” He said flatly in a menacing tone. He didn’t want to be mean, but he wanted his point to be made clear. Sympathy, he hated it. It made him feel weak. Blackkit flexed his claws, then stood up stretching. “I chose to kill her...” He muttered under his breath, unsure if Darkrose heard him. “Is there anything fun to do around here? I’m bored.” The kit said trying to change the subject.
Darkrose started as her brain processed the meaning of the kit's muttering. She stored it away for a later time. "Fun? I don't know.. kits mostly.. well, hang out with other kits. Make friends, enemies, get a hierarchy set," she said, unsure how Blackkit would react to the statement. She was still trying to figure the young cat out. He seemed intelligent, confident, yet vulnerable at the same time. She had by now decided that past life was not a good topic for Blackkit. Darkrose searched through her mind, trying to think of something that might interest Blackkit, but she found none. She stood still, unsure of what to do.

Blackkit looked at Darkrose carefully listening to her. “I don’t like the other kits,” He meowed, “Why can’t I go outside? I miss the scuffling of prey.” His nose twitched, hoping that maybe he could get to go outside if he begged enough.
(Can you have a kit go outside with a warrior watching?)

[Mango]

Ennard A well groomed brown furred tom walked through the clearing, he maybe had tons of she-cat friends- it was beyond him on why they all got pregnant. He approached a she-cat She’s my friend probably, he approached her,” Greetings.” He purred walking forward happily.

Moonwhisper looked over at him with a roll of her eyes. "hello Monarchstep." replied the she-cat, forcing herself to let out a friendly smile. He's bad news, but there's something about him that I like. Moonwhisper let out a light purr that was'n't actually meant to happen.

(Can you have a kit go outside with a warrior watching?)
(I' pretty sure It's okay as long as they stay well within the camp)
Darkrose sighed, "you can't hunt yet. You're too young. Maybe you could go to the nursey and try to meet some of the other kits... see if there's any kits that you like." She looked at the kit sadly. She didn't remember what she had done as a kit, so it was hard for her to help. Darkrose shrugged and said, "maybe you could go explore the rest of camp, meet some of the older cats."

[Edmia]

Mad-Hatter
Blackkit sighed. “How do you think I survived on my own for a whole moon?” He said slipping information about his past. He knew how to hunt, he wasn’t great at it, but he had caught some prey out there. “Ok.” He said flatly when Darkrose finished talking. “Is there any cats you could introduce to me?” The kit asked, wondering what cats his adoptive mother hanged out with.

It had been a long day. The female had been out walking the borders. delicate paws stung at every step. However, the urge to continue gave the peite, grey and white she-cat a surging force of energy.

Therefore, when the warrior padded in, she acted as if nothing was wrong. However, her pale, green orbs shouted something different: I'm tired and hurting!

Limping to a mossy spot, Mistystream pawed at the lush spot and began to turn around. After that, she wrapped her tail around herself and laid down. Clover eyes blinked at her surroundings. She really wasn't the kind to talk. Therefore, the female didn't have many friends... merely allies.

DarkFur limped into the camp, amber eyes exhausted from patrolling all afternoon. He went to a corner of the camp, settling down to groom himself. The paw on his lame leg ached the most, and he groomed it extra carefully, gentle rasping sounds coming from his throat. When he had finished, he glanced up, flicking an ear to flick off a leaf.
As his amber gaze swept around the camp, he saw Mistystream resting nearby. Despite his exhaustion, he got to his paws and limped over to her. He sat beside her, tucking his lame leg underneath him as best he could, even though his paw stuck out a little.
''Hello, Mistystream'' he meowed a bit shyly.

"Well, I have three sisters... you're aunts. They're busy right now, though. I'll introduce you to them when they're not busy. And I know you know how to hunt, but clan rules say you have to be at least an apprentice. When you're an apprentice, you can hunt and go outside of camp." Darkrose wanted to introduce him to his aunts, but it would have to wait until they had some free time.

“Alright...” Blackkit looked around. Rules...hmmph. Out therethere was no rules... He walked towards the nursery to see if there was any kits he could torment.
(Going to tag you in the nursery.)

The she-cat perked her ears at paw steps. Soft, green orbs turned to an approaching male. He walked with a limp. A lame leg she supposed as her curious eyes observed him tucking the leg beneath himself.

"Hello Darkfur," she dipped her head in greeting. "Hard day?" she asked with a hint of amusement in her tone. Though proper looking, Mistystream was one that preferred humor.

'Guess not...' The brown she thought as the two toms ignored her offer. Bright ~ Spirit went back to her tree, she figured non of her experienced clanmates would like to share some fresh kill with her. Bright took a few more bites of the rabbit, it tasted great for her liking some of the warriors didn't prefer rabbits as much as she does. After a few bites and gulps, she finished her prey.
'Might as well fill up the prey pile more.' The she wondered gazing towards the half filled pile.
If no one wanted to share prey with her, then maybe somebody would want to hunt with her.
'The deputy? Leader? An apprentice? A fellow clanmate?' Her thoughts were all over the place.
"The deputy would surely accept if he's not busy....." Bright ~ Spirit spoke to herself.
And off she went, going to find the deputy to hunt with, she'd always looked up to Passion ~ Blaze since she was a kit. After her mother died from foxes and her father was a rogue, she had no one to look up to or follow the pawsteps that they left behind.

Bright ~ Spirit's ears perked up an interested, she caught Passion ~ Blaze's scent but also heard Harmony ~ Blade's voice.
'Hm, maybe Harmony ~ Blade would be interested an hunting with me.' Another option popped up in her head.
She'd grin padding over to the two toms, but as the closer she got she herd them talking, not wanting to intrude on there discussion. She took a few pawsteps back waiting till they were finish on there conversation.

Moonwhisper looked at him. "I guess you can call me your friend." replied Moonwhisper, sharply.
He purred, as he pressumed that was her personality, sharp-tounged and romantic,” Glad to know.” He meowed I wonder how to keep the conversation going...(No seriously, how do I keep this conversation going!!!)

( Rockstar timeskip since i haven't been on in forever ) iceclaw was sitting in the snow covered clearing with her siblings they had been made warriors yesterday and she was given her fathers name. she looked up at the brightening sky thinking about her father made her wonder if he was watching proudly. she looked back down at her siblings cherrypaw was now cherryblossom. she smiled as they all looked at each other not able to speak they showed their pleasure in smiles and playfuls flicks of the tail. redclaw came out of the warriors den and padded over to them a red scar on his right foreleg that served as his reminder of his fight against the fox "ok guys your vigils over" he said giving each of them a proud look

DarkFur appeared slightly embarrassed as the she cat gazed at his lame leg. He curled his tail around himself to hide his leg before looking sheepish. He turned his head and gave her a sideways look out of the corner of his eye. ''Yeah... I guess I walked too much today. I'm exhausted... Is it really that obvious?''
The black tom was so used to nobody commenting on him being worn out at the end of every day that he was shocked the pretty she cat noticed.

The she-cat couldn't help but feel a soft smile tug at the corner of her lips. "I only noticed because I've felt the same way... I feel it right now," she chuckled. "However, no... it isn't very noticeable," she finally stated.

At that, the silver female began to paw down her fur to at least look somewhat presentable. "How have you been, though? Besides the fact you are exhausted?" she asked perking her ears to listen to his words.

A ginger and white Tom slumped onto the floor, sulking in a deserted corner of the camp, confused and angry. Dust flew up around him. Out of the corner of his yellow eyes he noticed the ThunderClan deputy, PassionBlaze, slowly padding towards him. HarmonyBlade frantically straightened himself up and make his ginger fur look immaculate. "Greetings! What brings you to me? I'm just doing a spot of grooming. Not up to much. You?"
Oh no, does that sound to...forward? To posh? What will they all think?

Strolling through the clearing made it seem like a day's job. Like when mentors wake up their apprentices for a "thrill" day of learning. Passionblaze would figure that he needed to deal with...Jaggedpaw sooner or later. But, currently the only thing that mattered was throwing a smile in each cat's direction as he passed them. The smile was more subtle, but it was plastered on his maw, his golden eyes half lidded for a moment as he scoped the area. As he got farther, his pawsteps become much slower. And, the smile was replaced by a frown. For his eyes had met a...depressing sight, it seemed. A ginger and white tom was in a corner, his head down, but even though Passionblaze couldn't see his expression, the dark flames tom knew exactly what could be wrong. Well, he didn't know what the Tom was sulking about, but he knew a face like that, must be having a hard time. So, Passionblaze gingerly padded over, hoping that the noise of his heavy paws didn't disturb him. Albeit it must had! For...who was this..? Passionblaze squinted his eyes, getting a good look at his peer. He didn't know every name, like they knew his. Some, he seen around, many he knew from his own apprentices moons, so those name stuck in his name. "Harmony...blade," Passionblaze mutters softly, slowly to make sure he said the name right. Once he was confident enough, he offered a small smile to the Tom. "I'm doing fine, thank you for the courtesy." Passionblaze dipped his head. "Though, nevermind about me - what about you? You look more...sullen, like someone took the last of your favorite prey from the food pile," He joked, his ears flicked back, and he let out a short awkward laugh. Just s little to lighten the mood. "Is something bothering you?" To Passionblaze, there was more to being a deputy than carrying out orders. Though Passionblaze didn't want his new 'title' or 'rank' to make his clan mates feel belittled. As far as he knew, he was a regular cat within the clan, that also wanted to be a friend to all.

@Okapi

Dewpaw and Tawnypaw strolled around the clearing as they talked to each other on anything that came to mind. Once Monarchstep came into view, a wave of curiosity came over Dewpaw. No, it was more like suspicion. He heard rumors around the camp surrounding Monarchstep, the tom was trouble, especially around she-cats. So, he found it questionable that Moonwhisper was with him. He nudged Tawnypaw to motion for her to follow him, and they sat in front of Monarchstep and Moonwhisper.

"Greetings," Dewpaw meowed. "Hope you don't mind the intrusion, we finished our hunting patrol so I thought we could maybe acquaintance ourselves better with the warriors."

[|+sari+|]

The she-cat couldn't help but feel a soft smile tug at the corner of her lips. "I only noticed because I've felt the same way... I feel it right now," she chuckled. "However, no... it isn't very noticeable," she finally stated.

Just so you know, cats lick their fur to clean it, not by pawing it xD ))
DarkFur ran his pink tongue over his black fur in an attempt to get it to lie flat. He glanced up and flicked an ear at her words.
''Nothing worse than the usual, I suppose'' he mewed in reply. ''My paws always ache at the end of each day, especially my bad one. My bad leg usually hurts around this time. I did manage to catch a squirrel this morning, the first prey I caught by myself since the accident...'' His broad shoulders held a hint of pride as he spoke.
He bent his head to lick the aching pawpad of his lame leg. He pricked his ears for the pretty silver she cat's response.

[wolfie]

A slight chuckle escaped the feline's maw at her brother's concern. It was almost ironic, him telling her to take care of herself - wasn't that her job, to take care of other cats? Caliapaw's grief had been almost too great for her to really "take care of herself..." but she wouldn't tell Snowpaw that. She had been at least keeping herself alive, if that was what he was talking about, anyways. "I'll take care of myself, promise." She smiled at him weakly, trying to keep the truths of her worries and grief keeping her from being able to socialize or eat reguarly. Perhaps she would tell someone; she had better figure it out on her own soon or tell someone, at any rate, because if she did neither, she would eventually destroy herself from the inside out.


And Caliapaw knew enough to know that that wasn't good. She had briefly considered taking some of the herbs that were meant for emotional pain, for there were a few herbs to help with that sort of thing. Chamomile especially would help with depression, which wouldn't be a bad idea at the moment. However, they were low on that, and until herb stores were back up, Caliapaw would just have to deal with things on her own. She smirked a little at Snowpaw's question about it being the "fun" type of interesting, and decided not to answer that - there wasn't really a good answer. Not one that she wanted to go on about, anyways. "Oh - I'm not really hungry, thanks though, Snowpaw." It was true... at the moment, the she cat didn't feel hungry. Besides, she didn't want to take up his challenge. Cats would talk. Cats would stare.


Caliapaw didn't want either. The problem with having friends, and being the medicine cat, was that you became the center of gossip. Anyone who had a connection to a higher rank could just as easily become that center of gossip. Even if you just had friends, they would talk about you, and word got around about things. At least the cats Caliapaw trusted would never betray her. Not as far as she knew, anyways. Whatever she told them would remain there. Realizing that this was Snowpaw she was talking to, her brother, who wouldn't make a big deal of things and embarrass her, she heaved a sigh and shifted her weight some.


"If I'm being honest, I haven't really been hungry for a while." His offer to leave camp perked her attention, but she had been tired lately and at the moment, felt more like staying in the camp. "I think I'll stay here for now, thanks, Snowpaw. Just in case something comes up." That was part of it, too. If something came up - Caliapaw wanted to be nearby to make sure she was in time this time.


The seemingly kingly tom continued to scan the clearing. Of course, Powdernose escaped his gaze originally - he wasn't really looking very closely, even though that was how it appeared. When he turned back around for his gaze to scan the other way, his eyes landed on the snowy-colored tom. For a moment he let his eyes rest there, his gaze never softening, but rather inquisitive as though asking what on earth the other tom was doing in the darkness. Eventually he turned away, his tail flicking in an inviting manner, offering for the cat to come and join him, but this only lasted a few moments before he turned back around, twisting his back so that he could look more easily at Powerdernose. "Can I help you?" He hadn't been aware of the cat following him, but he was almost insanely mindful of where the tom was at the moment.


He knew of the other tom - and while laziness was not to be rewarded, he did have to admit, the other cat generally looked more comfortable. And, while you would never catch Stonegazer sharing the more relaxed state of Powdernose, there's a chance you would see his muscles loosening just the slightest bit and his royal stance relaxing so that he even slumped some. Of course, he remained just as alert and powerful as always. He was a middle-aged warrior, or getting close to it, and he was looking forward to being a more respected member of the Clan. He was older then their leader - how he felt about that, he wasn't sure.


Stonegazer supposed a young cat could have good ideas just as much as an older cat could, and he approved of the way that Snowstar led the Clan, with her deputy Passionblaze - whom he was also older than. Stonegazer's eyes remained fixated on the other tom, never looking away, in a way that was almost irritating, if you were made uncomfortable by being stared at. He had never had the strongest idea of what other cats' comfort zones were. He couldn't know that how emotionless he appeared would unsettle others. And while he was far from emotionless, his features and stance generally appeared that way. Or if not emotionless, at least like his emotions were carefully regulated.

Snowpaw shifted his weight on his other left arm, smiling at her promise. At least it brought him some relief, knowing she would. However he did get the feeling she haven't been, most from her smile and a guess. Yet kept his mouth shut, he didn't mention it to Caliapaw- not yet at least but the war was scaring him a little. No, not because of the fighting. It was about losing someone in it. Snowpaw didn't know if he would even be in it, some of the worrying was from the gathering. He hadn't attended to it but he heard about it. What if someone killed Caliapaw? Like what happened with Wheatfur. So many questions buzzed in his head like flies. Snowpaw knew that the feeling of fear would never go away until everything was surely fine, all he could was to help.

"Alright, I won't shove the prey down your throat." He joked, chuckling a little. He found the talk surprising relaxing, better than laying around. Anything is better than laying around, though. His nose wrinkled up at the thought, shaking his head lightly in thought. However some cats really just needed that, Snowpaw blinked. "Zoomed out for a second, thoughts just buzzing around, you know?" He searched her eyes; hope for a hint that could tell him what was going on. He got nothing which he was disappointed and relived for. Snowpaw didn't know anything he didn't want to.

He frowned a little, he knew grief took away your appetite. Even knowing that he didn't get the hint it was most likely from grief, being clueless Snowpaw he assumed she was getting sick. "Are you getting sick? I mean... well could that be start of it? " He snap his muzzle shut, knowing he was about to say something that could really make things uncomfortable. He furrowed his eyebrows, giving a short nod. "I know you may not have a appetite but later on take a few bites of a mouse, hungry or not. " Snowpaw nodded. Then the frowned disappeared and turned into a wide smile at her. "No problem. Yeah! Always be on guard, Caliapaw!" He said, "And don't let anything bring you down." He blinked, "I sounded like my mentor for a second. Gah, is she rubbing off on me?" He shivered a little. Remembering the over-joy mentor he had, Snowpaw couldn't lie that really scared him.

"Come lay in the sun, it's warm. " He didn't seem anything wrong with that, "Or sit." He added. However he found that sometimes just being in sunlight `melts` away your thoughts.

avoiding stonekits first accusation she shook off the dust and sat down beside him. "well-" she suddenly held her tongue from her fiery remark and replaced the space with a flick of her tail. "look, I'm sorry. I just got back from hunting and I got nothing" she meowed with a hiss of agitation. Saying sorry was one if those things you couldn't really see from alabasterpaw all the time. Like an eclipse it only happened in a certain place... At a certain time before it was completely over. Her expression slightly softened and she returned his smile for once, offering a tainted smirk in it's place. Though alabaster and stone where never really on the same page alabaster had always felt more like Stonekit than her other siblings. Dreamkit for example terrified her right out of her fur. Which she shouldn't be but she wasn't too keen in Dreamkit all her life, thistlekit was ok too it was just a matter of flattening out their differences. Maybe she fought with Stonekit the most but she still loved him like a sister always would. Only now as she thought about her whole family was she remained how stonekit had been Denise or refused the ability to train as an apprentice when they all hit six moons and it only occurred to her now. Shocked by this discovery she looked back down at Stonekit "why are you still a kit?" sure alabaster was blunt but it was the truth. She would have loved to have had somebody by her side during training, sombody to talk too during tjse nights when she couldn't sleep. Somebody who would have been- at the gathering with her when uncle wheatfur died. The memory flooded into her mind like a bad taste and she shook her head angrily. Looking both directions a second later she shoved Stonekit to his feet and ushered him into the apprentices den looking around to ensure nobody was there. When it was clear she sat him down in her best and looked him dead in the eye. Stonekit was bigger than herself, towering over her height by a few inches but she felt as though she held the power in the moment. "Is this because of uncle? Or mother?" she meowed her tail lashing anxiously

The cream brown and white apprentice known as Creampaw slipped out of her soft nest in the Apprentices' den to the chilly morning air of the ThunderClan's camp. Her yellow green gaze traveled around the clearing to all her Clan mates hoping to see some cat she knew. At that moment she didn't notice anyone but then she didn't look to hard. With that she headed over to the fresh kill pike to grave a bit to eat before her mentor, Featherspeckle, could take her out for some training or whatever the molly was going to teach her today. It wasn't that she didn't like her mentor or training she loved them both. It was just the fact that she was hungry and wanted to eat. Looking closely she spotted very favorite prey, a nice squirrel, it wasn't to big but it wasn't the smallest thing there. Picking it up she wondered if her mother Eagleflower would like to share the rodent with her. The squirrel in her jaws she scanned the clearing again till she spotted her mother's pelt. Happily she headed over to her, holding squirrel off the ground. Once she reached her mother she dropped the rodent. "Would you like to share it?" She asked Eagleflower in her normal soft spoken sweet voice. She looked up at her mother hoping she'd say yes but wasn't going to force her to. No that just wasn't Creampaw.

Snowstar slid out of the nursery, glancing over her shoulder before looking ahead again, a small, peaceful smile on her face. Being with her kits always gave her a good feeling. And while she couldn't always be with them, having leadership duties to take care of, the Siamese still spent as much time with them as she could. That was good enough, right? The younger leader sighed and looked around, ears pricking. She should probably find Antpaw - She'd been neglecting her apprentice a little much, and she didn't like that. The thing with WindClan had most of her attention lately. The thought of it made her ears flatten. She had so much to worry about, it was unreal. She didn't know being a leader would be this hard. Then again, what had she been expecting?

The Siamese sighed to herself, gaze drifting around. She really just wished she had someone to talk to. Maybe one of her siblings. Or Passionblaze - Talking to her deputy about this sounded nice. Or even Gyrewind.. Or Stormstrike. Oh, she missed her mate, her best friend. Where was he? She'd been neglecting him a bit, too, and that made her feel just awful. The she-cat's ears flattened slightly as she looked around, searching for the familiar gray pelt of Stormstrike. Talking to her mate just sounded so great right then. She just needed her best friend.



A grey pelted warrior was seated in the shade of a small oak tree. He was grooming his pelt, which was dusty and knotted. He had just spent most of the morning hunting and had taken a particularly long time trying to catch a plump rabbit. It hadn't been easy and he had had to sacrifice his neat appearance for it, but he was glad to have caught it. It would definitely be able to feed a few mouths. The rabbit now lay lifeless at the top of the fresh kill pile, waiting for someone to come along and feast on it with perhaps a few other cats.

After tugging free a stubborn knot, he moved on to flatten some fur on his left shoulder, and then he was finished. Stormstrike lowered himself onto the snowy ground and placed one wrist on top of the other. He turned onto his side and rested his chin on top of his paws. He closed his eyes and lay like that for a few minutes. The snow beneath his body was cold, but the sun was nearing the middle of the sky and it beamed, casting a warm glow of sunlight across him. The warrior didn't move for a while, until he suddenly opened his eyes. He was struggling to fall asleep, and he wasn't entirely sure as to why. He was tired from his hunting trip, but it seemed like sleep didn't want to go to him. He let out a sigh before he gazed out across the clearing, searching for something interesting. His turquoise gaze landed on a familiar pelt. Snowstar! He thought, beaming at the sight of his mate. He wanted to get up and run to her, take some time to talk to her as she looked free, but he was quite comfortable where he was, and wasn't ready to move just yet. Perhaps he would wait and see if she would notice him first, then if she didn't, he would get up and run to her before someone else whisked her away. His best friend always seemed busy these days. She was occupied with either looking after their kits, or attending to leadership duties. He himself was considerably busy these days. With leaf-bare here and the snow already falling, he had to work his hardest to contribute as much as possible to the clan. He would visit his kits as much as possible and would share stories when he had some in mind, but he and Snowstar could never seem to be in the same place at the same time. When he was in the nursery, she might be in the leader's den, discussing something important with Passionblaze. Or when she was in the clearing and available for a chat, he might be on a border patrol. Being able to talk to her again would be great.

( Rockstar timeskip since i haven't been on in forever ) iceclaw was sitting in the snow covered clearing with her siblings they had been made warriors yesterday and she was given her fathers name. she looked up at the brightening sky thinking about her father made her wonder if he was watching proudly. she looked back down at her siblings cherrypaw was now cherryblossom. she smiled as they all looked at each other not able to speak they showed their pleasure in smiles and playfuls flicks of the tail. redclaw came out of the warriors den and padded over to them a red scar on his right foreleg that served as his reminder of his fight against the fox "ok guys your vigils over" he said giving each of them a proud look

Greyshade, the eldest sibling who had stood firm the whole night, finally loosened up once Redclaw has relieved them. He was much more tired than he looked during his vigil, and now it showed. Though he met his uncle's proud gaze with an attempt of one of his own.

Lightningstrike, who had become much more energetic and focused as she grew older and kept up her training, didn't feel nearly as tired as him. In fact she was still sat tall and proud.

Dawnfrost, who was still a warrior despite being old enough to be an elder, padded out to her kits and warmly licked them all.

Redclaw examined iceclaw he was surprised by how much she had grown and matured. she was almost bigger than him with lean muscles under her pelt her green eyes sharp as a hawk and her instincts matched the sharpness of her father's his eyes misted. she had become a warrior with skill to match her father's a warrior the clan could be proud of. "are you watching brother your kits are now fine warriors i know you would be proud" he thought looking up just in time to see the last star disappear in the morning light. He looked back down at the other kits admiring each one of them

"glad to be of service," powdernose replied, nodding to himself. he thought to himself, examining the features of stonegazer's frame. the silver tom was strong-willed, to say the least. paws twitching absentmindedly, powdernose tried to calm his racing heart. every beat felt like a boulder being slammed against his chest, knocking the breath out of him. was he really sitting next to his, well, idol? stonegazer may only be a few moons older than him, but that didn't mean he couldn't admire the intelligent tom.
he released a very long breath, thinking of what the other had said. what did he think of the upcoming battle? of the tension in which was forever rising within the clans? after what seemed to be quite a long time, powdernose spoke his mind.
"i don't exactly have any thoughts of the battle. yes, i am prepared for one, if it even comes. but why waste your energy worrying about what may have a chance to not happen?" the powdery tom shrugged. "i mean, yeah, i'm lazy. every day, i spend most of the sunlight sleeping. but i do know my way around things. just because i don't participate much does not mean that i don't pay attention to clan life," he spoke with a confident voice, though his form slumped as he paused.
"whenever i am awake, i try to search for my true family. or i just relax and try to savor my strength for a real battle. there's no use in a cat who is too tired to fight." powdernose ducked his head sheepishly, his tail curling around him. "that's just my thoughts, though." crouching, the off-white feline turned his gaze from where it rested on the ground. sky-blue eyes flicked up to look at stonegazer, a faint hint of worry hidden within them. what if he doesn't like what i said? he thought, tense with agitation.
The other cat had never thought of it that way. In a rather backwards, messed up way, Powdernose had... well... wisdom. He spoke like he really knew what he was talking about. And that was something that was rare nowadays. Even cats who were in the same age group as Stonegazer, from 30 - 40 moons, could have very little true wisdom. "Have you participated in a battle before?" The other warrior asked, keeping his gaze fixed on his companion. He was now interested in what the other had to say - his remark on the battle was one that Stonegazer had never heard before and, as said before, he believed it to be wise. Powdernose was younger and had just said something with more confidence then Stonegazer had heard any cat speak before.


"I'm sure there will be a battle, though. The tensions are too high for that not to happen. Snowstar can't just "talk it out" with Blazingstar now. ThunderClan blood has been spilled at the claws of those pathetic rabbit-chasers." His opinions could come off stronger then other cats', and the one thought that went through his head was if that doesn't scare him off, nothing will. While Stonegazer's voice did not change in volume, it was quite clear how the tom felt about them. Even though anger wasn't apparent, it showed in the little things; the quick flash of his eyes, changing from practically emotionless to anger-flooded before switching back just as quickly... the twitching of his tail, no longer as still as it had been... the way his voice sounded, a little less calm then before, though only enough so that you could barely catch it.


That was the way Stonegazer's... well, practically any emotion with him worked, it just showed enough so that you could catch a glimpse of the very real cat behind the seemingly unfeeling mask. He wasn't unfeeling at all; but that was pretty much the impression he gave off. He hoped that Powdernose hadn't been too frightened by his bias remark on WindClan. He was angry that those WindClanners were getting away with all of this. And he was looking forward to his chance to teach them a lesson. Teach them that they couldn't treat ThunderClan this way and get away with it.

He was angry that those WindClanners were getting away with all of this. And he was looking forward to his chance to teach them a lesson. Teach them that they couldn't treat ThunderClan this way and get away with it.


the tom shook his head, ears perked. "i haven't ever fought in a battle, to be honest. i usually stay back and protect the camp. this time, i will most likely go out and fight. thunderclan would need all the help it can get to chase away windclan." he kneaded the ground with a clouded gaze, expression barren of a clear emotion. they were all jumbled together, each one clawing to the surface. it was how he usually was— a mixture of emotion. ever since he was a kit, that would be how he expressed himself. one moment, a feline could describe him as curious, but the next, he would be void of that feeling. he may be lazy, but he was rather expressive.
powdernose cocked his head to the side, looking at stonegazer through his peripheral vision. "snowstar and blazingstar have most definitely stepped past the point of negotiation, yes. a battle has a high chance of happening, but that does not mean that more blood should be shed," he inquired, tail swaying along the ground. his voice lay low, an accent weaving within his words. off-white fur bristled slightly, the quiet hum of his heartbeat sounding in his ears.
stopping, the tom examined stonegazer. he scrutinized the other's subtle changes in expression, determining what he felt.
"you seem aggravated. i suggest you calm your emotions. anger does not help anything— it only causes more energy to be used. of course, you are my elder, so you don't have to listen to me. i am merely stating my own thoughts of how to efficiently prepare for battle." powdernose chuckled and turned his full attention to the silver tom. "laziness has gotten me this far in life, hasn't it?"

Snowpaw shifted his weight on his other left arm, smiling at her promise. At least it brought him some relief, knowing she would. However he did get the feeling she haven't been, most from her smile and a guess. Yet kept his mouth shut, he didn't mention it to Caliapaw- not yet at least but the war was scaring him a little. No, not because of the fighting. It was about losing someone in it. Snowpaw didn't know if he would even be in it, some of the worrying was from the gathering. He hadn't attended to it but he heard about it. What if someone killed Caliapaw? Like what happened with Wheatfur. So many questions buzzed in his head like flies. Snowpaw knew that the feeling of fear would never go away until everything was surely fine, all he could was to help.

"Alright, I won't shove the prey down your throat." He joked, chuckling a little. He found the talk surprising relaxing, better than laying around. Anything is better than laying around, though. His nose wrinkled up at the thought, shaking his head lightly in thought. However some cats really just needed that, Snowpaw blinked. "Zoomed out for a second, thoughts just buzzing around, you know?" He searched her eyes; hope for a hint that could tell him what was going on. He got nothing which he was disappointed and relived for. Snowpaw didn't know anything he didn't want to.

He frowned a little, he knew grief took away your appetite. Even knowing that he didn't get the hint it was most likely from grief, being clueless Snowpaw he assumed she was getting sick. "Are you getting sick? I mean... well could that be start of it? " He snap his muzzle shut, knowing he was about to say something that could really make things uncomfortable. He furrowed his eyebrows, giving a short nod. "I know you may not have a appetite but later on take a few bites of a mouse, hungry or not. " Snowpaw nodded. Then the frowned disappeared and turned into a wide smile at her. "No problem. Yeah! Always be on guard, Caliapaw!" He said, "And don't let anything bring you down." He blinked, "I sounded like my mentor for a second. Gah, is she rubbing off on me?" He shivered a little. Remembering the over-joy mentor he had, Snowpaw couldn't lie that really scared him.

"Come lay in the sun, it's warm. " He didn't seem anything wrong with that, "Or sit." He added. However he found that sometimes just being in sunlight `melts` away your thoughts.
Was she sick? For a second, the medicine cat almost answered in a patient manner, but her amusement at the question won out in the end. While she knew it might hurt Snowpaw's feelings, it was just sort of a part of who she was; even in this state of grief. "Mm, I think I'd know if I was sick." Her words came off as light, partly serious, and yes, amused. She was laughing at him, despite the fact that she knew it probably wasn't right. But when she could tell that he was truly concerned, she sighed, shifted her weight, and looked up at the sky for a minute. "I can't promise you I'll eat if I don't feel hungry, but I'll try. Just so you're not worrying about me." A small smile stretched across her maw. Caliapaw hated, hated, hated being the center of the attention or under the spotlight, but at the same time, it was nice to have someone worry over her. Not everyone, cats that she didn't know well for example, but for her family and closer friends to have concern for her, it felt good. That somebody cared about her as a cat; not just as their medicine cat. While she knew those close to her were proud, they would understand if she decided to step down, right?


Even though she wouldn't. Caliapaw knew the Clan was counting on her, and as hard as it was without Wheatfur, she could do it. At least she wasn't always the center of attention. That was focused mainly on new leaders, or deputies; being young had it's disadvantages, but as many disadvantages as there were, there were also advantages to being so young and trying so hard. She would have a longer time as their medicine cat. Caliapaw guessed she would have a long time in this position, so why not have some fun while she was in it? Maybe there was a way to make this good. Optimism was not her strong suit, but she was doing her best and working hard and eventually she would be more comfortable with her life at the moment.


Someone would be there to help her through it. She hadn't met any of the medicine cats from the other Clans yet, and was nervous that they would have a way stronger bond. The tom's cheerful attitude made Caliapaw smile a little more - it was good to smile. She had needed a good laugh, smile, whatever... and Snowpaw was giving her the cheer that she needed. "You're such a mouse brain sometimes," She chuckled, but she joined her brother in the sun anyways, just barely swatting him with her tail. While she didn't really like physical contact, if she initiated it? It was okay. And besides, she was getting more and more used to it, having to deal with patients and all.

Burnetkit peeked over the rim of her nest to see who was calling her, she knew that it was either her brother or new friend, because there was no chance that it was her mother, because her mother wanted nothing to do with her. She wasn't mad at her mother for that, she never thought about her mother. It was always Ravelledkit and Blackkit. They were the two things that mattered. When she looked up she found that it was Blackkit, which was not surprising as he was usually not the happiest cat, and he had been grumbling when he had said her name. Burnetkit leaped out of her nest and walked over to the tom. "Here, where are you?" She asked looking around in every place except for where she knew him to be.

Come meet your father, Lightningflash!” She called out to her kits, they were three moons old and they got teased often for not knowing who their father was more than a name and stories. Owlkit’s come crying to me about it...Emeraldkit’s accused me of making Lightningflash up. Cirruskit begged me to chase him down and drag him in there. Ashkit has asked me to hurt the cats that tease her. Poor Witheredkit though...she doesn’t leave my side and hardly speaks.

Witheredkit’s light grey fur was groomed as she stared with her blue eyes directly at Lightningflash before laying down again as if she didn’t care or couldn’t see him.
Owlkit's tail twitched in excitement, "What does he look like?" She inquired, jumping in circles around her mother.

Ashkit came running into the nursery. "What? Where?" She looked around frantically. She saw her father, and small tears dripped from her big eyes. She looked at her father, tilting her head. She was still in shock, the event barely sinking in.

[Edmia]

Burnetkit peeked over the rim of her nest to see who was calling her, she knew that it was either her brother or new friend, because there was no chance that it was her mother, because her mother wanted nothing to do with her. She wasn't mad at her mother for that, she never thought about her mother. It was always Ravelledkit and Blackkit. They were the two things that mattered. When she looked up she found that it was Blackkit, which was not surprising as he was usually not the happiest cat, and he had been grumbling when he had said her name. Burnetkit leaped out of her nest and walked over to the tom. "Here, where are you?" She asked looking around in every place except for where she knew him to be.

Blackkit’s ears perked up when he heard Burnet kit. Even though he had only known her for a moon, since he got here, he felt like he knew her for an eternity. Turning the corner he saw her. “Hey, Do you wanna do something? I’m bored.” The young feline complained. He licked his paw and then proceeded to use it to groom his ear, something he did when he was waiting.

Horsepaw scamperd into the clearing with prey. She had just finished hunting and was done hunting so she could relax in the snowy camp. She smiled and set the prey down before walking into a cat named Rowanpaw,” Sorry, Rowanpaw.”
Rowanpaw's eyes widened a little as someone walked into him and he nearly lost his balance, he looked over his shoulder and smiled. "Oh, Horsepaw! No worries, it's all good." He mewed and got up, turning to her. "It happens to all of us at least once." He chuckled.

Owlkit's tail twitched in excitement, "What does he look like?" She inquired, jumping in circles around her mother.
She smiled,” I told you he was real kits. He well handsome. A full grown warrior, light brown fur, and green eyes.” She meowed trying to take out the part about how he had a beautiful body structure and eyes that were like emeralds.

Rowanpaw's eyes widened a little as someone walked into him and he nearly lost his balance, he looked over his shoulder and smiled. "Oh, Horsepaw! No worries, it's all good." He mewed and got up, turning to her. "It happens to all of us at least once." He chuckled.
Horsepaw smiled,” True. Just some more than others.” She meowed playfully, not mentioning that she had slid on ice when she crashed into him.

Horsepaw smiled,” True. Just some more than others.” She meowed playfully, not mentioning that she had slid on ice when she crashed into him.
The tom gazed at her and nodded. "Well, I'm not mad, it happened to me once when I was younger." He admitted and sat back down. "So, what were you doing before you came over here?" Rowampaw asked, smiling at the other apprentice.

[Mango]

The tom gazed at her and nodded. "Well, I'm not mad, it happened to me once when I was younger." He admitted and sat back down. "So, what were you doing before you came over here?" Rowampaw asked, smiling at the other apprentice.
She shrugged,” Dropping off prey.” She meowed casually in calmness, but she squirmed in happiness that she ran into him.

[Rockstar]

Redclaw examined iceclaw he was surprised by how much she had grown and matured. she was almost bigger than him with lean muscles under her pelt her green eyes sharp as a hawk and her instincts matched the sharpness of her father's his eyes misted. she had become a warrior with skill to match her father's a warrior the clan could be proud of. "are you watching brother your kits are now fine warriors i know you would be proud" he thought looking up just in time to see the last star disappear in the morning light. He looked back down at the other kits admiring each one of them

Greyshade, the eldest sibling, stuck out his chest and stood tall and proud at Redclaw's praise. "Of course we have," he purred, having become a little arrogant.

[Gone]

She shrugged,” Dropping off prey.” She meowed casually in calmness, but she squirmed in happiness that she ran into him.
He nodded. "Heh, good thing I hate not too long ago." Rowampaw chuckled and looked off to the side only to see his father, Alderstripe, gazing at him from afar and giving him that smirk he always gave him whenever he hung out with a she-cat, he then gazed back at Horsepaw. "So... Anything in particular you'd like to talk about?" He asked.

[Drago Victinius Bloodward]

Greyshade, the eldest sibling, stuck out his chest and stood tall and proud at Redclaw's praise. "Of course we have," he purred, having become a little arrogant.
Redclaw rolled his eyes "if you guys ain't too tired how about we go hunting i could stretch my legs and do some running to warm me up" he said iceclaw and cherryblossom instantly sat taller "of course" they said in unison then looked at each other in surprise and started laughing

[lone]

the tom shook his head, ears perked. "i haven't ever fought in a battle, to be honest. i usually stay back and protect the camp. this time, i will most likely go out and fight. thunderclan would need all the help it can get to chase away windclan." he kneaded the ground with a clouded gaze, expression barren of a clear emotion. they were all jumbled together, each one clawing to the surface. it was how he usually was— a mixture of emotion. ever since he was a kit, that would be how he expressed himself. one moment, a feline could describe him as curious, but the next, he would be void of that feeling. he may be lazy, but he was rather expressive.
powdernose cocked his head to the side, looking at stonegazer through his peripheral vision. "snowstar and blazingstar have most definitely stepped past the point of negotiation, yes. a battle has a high chance of happening, but that does not mean that more blood should be shed," he inquired, tail swaying along the ground. his voice lay low, an accent weaving within his words. off-white fur bristled slightly, the quiet hum of his heartbeat sounding in his ears.
stopping, the tom examined stonegazer. he scrutinized the other's subtle changes in expression, determining what he felt.
"you seem aggravated. i suggest you calm your emotions. anger does not help anything— it only causes more energy to be used. of course, you are my elder, so you don't have to listen to me. i am merely stating my own thoughts of how to efficiently prepare for battle." powdernose chuckled and turned his full attention to the silver tom. "laziness has gotten me this far in life, hasn't it?"
The tom honestly wasn't too surprised at hearing that his younger companion had never fought in a battle. He was almost past the point of things coming as a real surprise to him now. Instead he stared carefully at Powdernose, then nodded a moment later like he understood what the other cat was talking about. "You've probably saved a lot of lives that way. There's no use in getting caught up in bloodshed unless you can save lives, after all." His mew was solemn and deep. Stonegazer had a naturally deep voice, and in his younger moons he used to play around with it - yes, even this stone-cold tom had once had a more playful nature. But, he hadn't truly played in quite some time.
In what felt like... well, moons, to be honest. He was an older warrior now, and he needed to set an example. Even in younger moons once he had become a warrior, he had become more serious. And he had remained that way ever since. "There's a chance it could stop this conflict. I am all for peace when negotiations are still able to happen, but if you think about it - more bloodshed just might end this once and for all. Perhaps this is how it should be." Stonegazer was a tom who believed "everything happened for a reason." There was always something in the universe working to make sure that things were even, and normal, or at least that was what he believed.
Perhaps it was a silly belief, but Stonegazer had thought that for a long time. That "thing" in the universe was likely StarClan, although he wasn't sure how much he believed in them and how much he thought they were tales for kits to hear from elders and queens. Medicine cats had actually seen StarClan, some leaders as well, and even warriors were visited in their dreams at times. When that happened to Stonegazer, perhaps he would believe more readily. An amused expression slowly appeared on the tom's maw, reluctant at first, and then seemed to become more comfortable there.
He let out a chuckle as well, though soon after his expression regained that serious look. It was just part of who he was... he was serious indeed. "You're quite the expert on being calm, aren't you?" If it wouldn't have been too much of a stretch for thinking so, there's just a chance that there could have been a purr in his throat when he spoke these words. Though that probably would have been a stretch - it was more of just a soft rumble.

[Mango]

He nodded. "Heh, good thing I hate not too long ago." Rowampaw chuckled and looked off to the side only to see his father, Alderstripe, gazing at him from afar and giving him that smirk he always gave him whenever he hung out with a she-cat, he then gazed back at Horsepaw. "So... Anything in particular you'd like to talk about?" He asked.
(so his father wants him to be gay?)
Horsepaw smiled awkwardly for a moment before thinking of a topic of discussion,"How's training going?" She asked.

[Gone]

(No, but he thinks he is, so he teases him with it)
Rowanpaw shrugged. "I don't have a mentor anymore..." He admitted and looked down. "I hate my dad..." He added with a growl, his fur fluffing up a bit in embarassment. "Anyway, how's your training going?" He asked.

[Shivers]

Summerkit let out a friendly smile, pressing her side against Shiverkit. "Yeah! We can make our clan proud!" Summerkit yowled in excitement. The she-kit looked down at the leaf, thinking of a game she could make up. "Lets play a game. I'll start by hiding the leaf and you'll have to find it then once you do its your turn to hide it." meowed the kit, picking the leaf up in her jaws. Summerkit waited for a response before she hid the leaf in case the other kit didn't want to play the game.

(Sorry for the late response)
Summerkit purred happily at her friend's contagious excitement and suddenly the territory didn't seem so scary if she'd be facing it with Summerkit,
"Yea!!!" Shiverkit yowled in agreement. Shiverkit's ears perked up in interest when she heard the word game and nodded in excitement when she heard the rules, "That sounds fun!" She squeaked bouncing in excitement, "Do I cover my eyes while you hide?" She asked as she crouched down covering her eyes with her tiny paws and looking up waiting for an answer.

[Mango]

(No, but he thinks he is, so he teases him with it)
Rowanpaw shrugged. "I don't have a mentor anymore..." He admitted and looked down. "I hate my dad..." He added with a growl, his fur fluffing up a bit in embarassment. "Anyway, how's your training going?" He asked.
Horsepaw paused,” Maybe see if Snowstar will appoint you a new mentor? And I’m sorry to hear that about your dad, from the look in his eyes, he looks like a funny guy. It’s going well..” she meowed

"Yeah..." Rowanpaw mewed and glared at his father. "He thinks I'm into toms... When I'm not." He admitted and looked back at her, nodding. "What are you working on now, hunting? Fighting?" He asked.

his mind was a jumble of things. the battle, the tension, everything was making him really think. powdernose believed all he could in starclan, although it was difficult to know of the ways clans thought of what happened in the afterlife. he had come from an unknown family, out in the forest somewhere. ever since he was five moons, the tom had been looking for his real family, just to see them one single time. to show them how he has grown.
powdernose frowned as he heard the other's words. "you could be right, however peace will never last for too long. it's nearly impossible to live in a clan and not find yourself in the center of a battlefield." he sighed and looked around camp for a moment, then perked up as he listened closely to the silver tom.
"i'm honestly surprised. the stoic-face stonegazer is actually making a joke?" he pretended to search around, eyes sparkling with a glimmer of mischief. "have the squirrels begun to fly? has riverclan grown scales?" powdernose smiled as he teased the elder tom, tail curling around to nudge his flank playfully.
that was the most powdernose had ever seen stonegazer laugh. now it was his silently-decided job to make him lighten up a bit. no job can be done efficiently without a sliver of laughter.
"you have point, though. a very inarguable one. yes, indeed, you, my fine feline with the most serious of expressions i have ever seen in my twenty-seven moons of life, are absolutely, completely, utterly correct about that little statement right there. thanks for noticing," powdernose shook out his pelt as he purred lightheartedly, crouching in front of the larger tom now.
"you need to loosen up a little. how about you take a 'lazy day?' in easier terms, you would just relax for a full day, no worrying about anything. i can teach you how to do so, if you'd like to try." his tail gently swayed, ears pivoting back and forth. powdernose really hoped stonegazer would accept his idea, just so he could finally allow himself to relieve some stress.
it definitely wasn't because he wanted to spend an entire day with the tom.

[wolfie]

Was she sick? For a second, the medicine cat almost answered in a patient manner, but her amusement at the question won out in the end. While she knew it might hurt Snowpaw's feelings, it was just sort of a part of who she was; even in this state of grief. "Mm, I think I'd know if I was sick." Her words came off as light, partly serious, and yes, amused. She was laughing at him, despite the fact that she knew it probably wasn't right. But when she could tell that he was truly concerned, she sighed, shifted her weight, and looked up at the sky for a minute. "I can't promise you I'll eat if I don't feel hungry, but I'll try. Just so you're not worrying about me." A small smile stretched across her maw. Caliapaw hated, hated, hated being the center of the attention or under the spotlight, but at the same time, it was nice to have someone worry over her. Not everyone, cats that she didn't know well for example, but for her family and closer friends to have concern for her, it felt good. That somebody cared about her as a cat; not just as their medicine cat. While she knew those close to her were proud, they would understand if she decided to step down, right?


Even though she wouldn't. Caliapaw knew the Clan was counting on her, and as hard as it was without Wheatfur, she could do it. At least she wasn't always the center of attention. That was focused mainly on new leaders, or deputies; being young had it's disadvantages, but as many disadvantages as there were, there were also advantages to being so young and trying so hard. She would have a longer time as their medicine cat. Caliapaw guessed she would have a long time in this position, so why not have some fun while she was in it? Maybe there was a way to make this good. Optimism was not her strong suit, but she was doing her best and working hard and eventually she would be more comfortable with her life at the moment.


Someone would be there to help her through it. She hadn't met any of the medicine cats from the other Clans yet, and was nervous that they would have a way stronger bond. The tom's cheerful attitude made Caliapaw smile a little more - it was good to smile. She had needed a good laugh, smile, whatever... and Snowpaw was giving her the cheer that she needed. "You're such a mouse brain sometimes," She chuckled, but she joined her brother in the sun anyways, just barely swatting him with her tail. While she didn't really like physical contact, if she initiated it? It was okay. And besides, she was getting more and more used to it, having to deal with patients and all.

Snowpaw nodded, "I guess you always know yourself best!" He said. Pawing at the clump of leaves, disturbing a small insect. It darted out of it and Snowpaw put his paw on it before trying to shake it off the dead insect off his pad. His expression twisted in a mix of annoyance and disgust. However his left ear twitched, giving a hint he was still listening to her. He looked up, hearing her laughter. He blinked in confusion, Snowpaw tilt his head. Is there something on my face? Did I say something to loud? Wait, no. Caliapaw would have told me to be quiet if I did. He didn't catch on yet let out a nervous laugh. Following her gaze up to the sky; Leaf-fall was here. "That's better than nothin! I'll take what I can get." Snowpaw said, then realized how uncomfortable she must be. He got the hint she didn't really like being the center of attention but sometimes Snowpaw did it anyway. No, not to be rude or make or uncomfortable but because he had to have his answers. Which when he couldn't find out how Caliapaw or any one his family members were doing; he found out the answer. He could be called nosy but he did know where not to push his limits.

The apprentice had been busy at training. He always had some dislike for battle training but that was the thing he was doing the most. Kind of no choice for him. Snowpaw believed that family will usually come before the clan. Truefully his friends had to deal with everything he thought. Unluckily for him, he screamed it. Well not exactly scream or on purpose but it was loud enough for a lot of cats to hear. Snowpaw hadn't told anyone but some of his family and friends about his hearing. Actually he didn't tell Caliapaw yet, either. He had a feeling his mentor and Snowstar had some hint but he was worried of not becoming a warrior. That they would make him become a elder or stay a apprentice forever.

Snowpaw chuckled and followed her in the sun, laying down. His head rested on his paws, closing his eyes briefly. Laughing at her comment, " Oh I know I can be. It my specialty!" However it was a second he thought she was actually saying it seriously. He was still unsure but decided to go with the more positive choice. Snowpaw rolled around on the grass, careful not to roll into Caliapaw. "Leaves. Leaves. Leaves everywhheree!" He sang horribly, shaking a leaf off his head before containing to roll around.

"I can't wait for Leaf-bare and no, not for us to have no prey. Prey is wonderfully delicious. However the snow! I can finally blend in." Snowpaw was right, his white pelt and blue eyes made him stuck out like a sore-thumb. Leaf-Bare was the best season for him and he actually didn't mind the coldness. "Though I hope it doesn't bring any sickness. With all the things happening, if I get sick I can't train. Caliapaw, I need training if I can't do tricks."

[Mango]

"Yeah..." Rowanpaw mewed and glared at his father. "He thinks I'm into toms... When I'm not." He admitted and looked back at her, nodding. "What are you working on now, hunting? Fighting?" He asked.
Horsepaw sighed,"Basic defense...which in my opinion should be the first thing an apprentice learns." She meowed.

[Gone]

Horsepaw sighed,"Basic defense...which in my opinion should be the first thing an apprentice learns." She meowed.
Rowanpaw nodded. "I had time to finish the fighting part of my training." He admitted. "We were starting to learn about hunting when my mentor passed away." He mewed and nodded. "I have to agree with you on that." He said.

[Rockstar]

Redclaw rolled his eyes "if you guys ain't too tired how about we go hunting i could stretch my legs and do some running to warm me up" he said iceclaw and cherryblossom instantly sat taller "of course" they said in unison then looked at each other in surprise and started laughing

Greyshade stretched his legs and stood up as well. "Of course. I could use the exercise."

Lightningstrike bounded over, full of energy despite being awake all night. "I'm ready! Let's go!"

[Drago Victinius Bloodward]

Greyshade stretched his legs and stood up as well. "Of course. I could use the exercise."

Lightningstrike bounded over, full of energy despite being awake all night. "I'm ready! Let's go!"
"Ok then lets go" he said leading the way out of camp iceclaw and cherryblossom following (to the territory)

[Mango]

Rowanpaw nodded. "I had time to finish the fighting part of my training." He admitted. "We were starting to learn about hunting when my mentor passed away." He mewed and nodded. "I have to agree with you on that." He said.
She nodded,” Yeah. I mean, most mentors teach the apprentice to hunt first, but think if you know how to hunt and a rouge attacks you, without basic defense what can you do besides get hurt and attempt to fight back, but with basic defense you can defend yourself.” She meowed

[Starfall]

The excitement from Doepaw seemed to spread over to Caliapaw a little bit, because somehow - she just wasn't very excited about her new job. Not if it meant that Wheatfur was dead, and she hadn't been prepared for it - it was like taking your assessment, all excited to be a warrior, and becoming one as soon as your mentor died. That was how it felt to her. All the excitement would be destroyed by the pain of losing someone so close to you, and Caliapaw was no exception to this. She'd be lying if she said she wasn't thrilled when Wheatfur had chosen her, along with nervous, but she would also be lying if she said that she wasn't now terrified to think of having to help the Clan on her own. They were counting on her, she was pretty much the only way that they could be healed... oh StarClan, what if Caliapaw screwed up? "Thanks, Doepaw."She mewed gratefully after he had tackled her. It made her feel more like she didn't have a care in the world now.

Honestly? Caliapaw wished she didn't have a care in the world. She wished she could go back to being just another apprentice, doing nothing at all. Except she would never be that apprentice again, and to be honest, maybe it really wasn't her thing. Wheatfur had chosen her. He had seen something in her. She might as well do her best to see the same, and try to get whatever she needed to do done. The feline smiled, her fangs gleaming in the sunlight at her brother's words. He was probably more excited about this then she was! And she supposed he had reason to be. It wasn't every day that your sister became a medicine cat, after all. "I'd appreciate the help, maybe... whenever you're not busy with your training. I wouldn't want my big brother to have to wait on his warrior ceremony." She smiled at him, her ears slowly tilting foward in more of an example of pleasure.

She was truly feeling a lot better, thanks to him... it was so nice to have such a good brother. This support was just what Caliapaw had been missing, and she was grateful for it. She was hoping she would never see Doepaw in the medicine cat den, however. The thought of her brother's life being in danger, or him even being hurt, was extremely painful for her. Her ears went back a little at his next words, though. She understood he was trying to help, really, but the best medicine cat? Caliapaw sincerely doubted that. She was pretty sure she wouldn't even live up to the legacy Zerosight and Wheatfur had left behind, let alone be the best out of all the Clans. The medicine cat in WindClan had been there for as long as she could remember! Probably as long as her father could remember, and maybe even her grandfather - that was the medicine cat's guess. If he had been around that long, he was probably the best medicine cat ever. Caliapaw had already had a case today, with Chameleonvine, and she hadn't liked it very much.

The other cat had been trying to help - she knew - but being coddled by someone she didn't know very well was not appreciated at all. It was... uncomfortable, almost. Yet she had done her best to be polite, and had been pretty nice, she thought... better then she would have been before. At least it hadn't been anything serious... Caliapaw didn't have much of a tolerance for whiny cats, and cats who were badly injured tended to whine a lot. While she could understand they were in pain, they might as well be pleasant to the cat who was helping them, shouldn't they? "I don't know, Doepaw. Right now I don't even feel like I'm supposed to be the medicine cat of this Clan, and I really don't think I'll ever be the best in all the Clans." She sighed, laying down and placing her head on her paws.

When she was younger, she used to do this when she was upset. Upset at someone in particular, usually, it was an 'I'm not listening' type of thing. Quite immature - which was surprising, considering Caliapaw had never been "normal" in terms of just playing around, or even her vocabulary, but that was one of the few things she had done. She sat back up a second later, however, not wanting anyone to see that she was moping around. Doepaw? Fine, but no one else. To be honest... he was one of the cats she truly loved in her life. Outside of her family, there might be a select few - but with all the friends other apprentices had, and seemed to love, Caliapaw's own list of cats she could claim to love was quite short. "I really appreciate that," She mewed, and she meant it. If no one else did, she knew that her brother had her back. That he supported her as the medicine cat. And that was the only opinion that mattered to her now.

The tom licked his sister's cheek and took a step back, his smile melted away as he saw his sister's expression. He knew something was up. The caramel brown tom would never brag about it, but he was fairly detail oriented, he noticed every little thing, and never on purpous, he just noticed. And he knew his sister best of all, out of every cat in Thunderclan, out of every cat in his family, he knew his sisters body movements, his sister's expressions to a T. He gave her a small smile and nuzzled her " C'mon sis...Name 1 leader who hasn't messed up, and name 1 Medicine cat who hasn't lost a paitent...Calia...I'm not gonna lie, you're gonna mess up, no going around that." he began, his blue hues danced with honesty, and a serious gaze was plastered on his face. He never sugarcoated anything, he believed that felines should know the truth, no matter how much it may hurt, because to him, it seemed like it would hurt worse to be lied to. " But the reality is, everyone messes up, but the thing that makes amazing medicine cats and amazing leaders is the fact that they either learn from their mistakes and keep moving, or they use that mess up to create something beautiful." he added, a smile spread across his dainty mouth. " Just make sure you're not standing still....and you'll do great." he purred, his bob of a tail jiggled.

Doepaw sat himself down and began to lick his chestfur, cleaning and de-fluffying the cotton white fluff. He liked it when he didn't look like a walking fluff ball, it annoyed him, the tugging of the twigs when he made his way through the camp entrance, the tingles and tickles he got whenever the wind blew or whenever a leaf brushed his sides, it drove him insane. He shot his sister a grin and gave his chest one last lick before turning his clear, blue gaze back to his sister, blue met amber " I don't have a mentor at the moment....so I've got all the time in the world to be with my sister! So...don't think you're the only one who feels lost okay? We'll both lean on each other." he hummed. He had lost his mentor in the battle against the Dusk Syndicate, same as his sister, so he knew what she was going through, the aching heart, the lost feeling, he knew it perfectly. "Now of course you're gonna have to point out which herbs I gotta pick, because I don't know a single thing about being a medicine cat other than the fact that you get to save other's lives!" he yipped. But, his smile quickly went away as she began to speak once again, his ears folded, his lips curved down, and his eyes narrowed, making the tom look at his sister through his lashes "If you weren't meant to be a medicine cat, than why would an old, experienced warrior who then became a medicine cat choose you? If you weren't meant to be a medicine cat than why is Starclan staying silent about your ceremony? Caliapaw, everything happens for a reason, you just have to take advantage of it." he stated. He believed his sister had everything she needed, she was more that capable of being a great medicine cat, she was smart and sympathetic, the only thing she lacked was self confidence, and he planned on helping her with that.

[Nightwing13]

Gazeshadow looked around the clearing and sat in the shadows.

Dawncreek padded up to Gazeshadow and sat down, licking her muzzle clean after the mouse she had just eaten. Gaze shadow rubbed up against Nightwing, but only slightly.
"Have they come yet?" he mewed quietly, so only his mate could hear.
"No Gazeshadow, but, soon."

[Zero]

Zerosight lazed around in the elder's den, curled up in a tiny ball among his fluffy nest of moss. He refused to move, finding it too cold to do any strenuous activity. All the cold weather lately was just hectic on his joints, making him wonder if he should go see Caliapaw and get some comfrey root or daisy leaves. The old tom sighed, burying his face deeper into his warm nest at just the thought of getting up.

[Nightwing13]

poppypaw returned to camp, all the others had caught better prey than a mouse. somewhat displeased she padded into the warriors den.

Her mentor, Foxleap was waiting in one of the moss beds, her eyes glazed over.
"Foxleap, are you ok?" said Poppypaw nervously, nudging the ginger she-cat cauitiously. She was used to Foxleap's moments, but this one had lasted awhile.
Foxleap jolted upright, her eyes clear from whatever clouded her vision.
"Your father is coming from Shadowclan Poppypaw, RUN!"

[Random Melody]

Snowstar made her way up onto the Highpeak, rasping her tongue down her chest as she walked. Her ice blue eyes flitted over the camp below her and, unconsciously, she found her claws digging into the stone below her paws. A smile lit her face, as bright as the sun. Because today was a good day. An important day. A day to remember. "Cats of ThunderClan, please gather around the Highpeak for a Clan meeting!"

The Siamese paused, tail tip twitching, and scanned the crowd for her kits. They knew it was the big day - She'd made sure of that. But the ceremony wasn't happening, not quite yet. The young leader shifted her paws before taking a deep breath.
Sasukewolf (madness) Fuzzyfeline

"Maple, Honey, step forward, please," She beckoned the rogues forward, smiling.

"You have both requested to join ThunderClan. So, Maple, from now on, you shall be known as Mapledawn. Honey, you shall be known as Honeydew." She smiled warmly down at the two. "We welcome you as full warriors of ThunderClan. Welcome to the Clan."

Now the young leader paused and let her gaze travel around for a moment, thinking.

Okapi

"Lulu," Snowstar finally called, beckoning the kittypet forward. "You have also requested to join the Clan. So from now on you will be known as Duskpaw. Lightningflash ( Megan ), you will mentor Duskpaw. I trust you will pass down all you know onto her." The Siamese smiled warmly, and turned her gaze to the others.

Lonestar23 Edmia

"Beetlekit, Vixenkit, and Blackkit, please come forward." The Siamese hummed, and shifted her paws as she waited, tilting her head. "You have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you all to become apprentices. So from now on; Beetlekit, you will be known as Beetlepaw. Wolfsoul ( Teza )," Her gaze flickered to the warrior. "You will mentor Beetlepaw. I trust you will pass down all you learned onto him." She smiled softly, then turned to the next kit.

"Vixenkit, you shall be known as Vixenpaw. Birchflower ( RedHead ), you will mentor Vixenpaw. I trust you to pass down all you know onto her." Snowstar paused again before turning to the next kit.

"Blackkit, you will be known as Blackpaw. Darkrose, you will mentor Blackpaw. I trust you to pass down all you know onto him."

And with that, Snowstar turned away, to the older cats of the Clan. The apprentices who would now become warriors.

Lonestar23 Megan

"Kestrelpaw, Owlpaw, Daisypaw, and Trappaw, please come forward!" She called, tail lashing slightly and a warm smile on her face.

"Kestrelpaw, Owlpaw, Daisypaw and Trappaw, do you promise to uphold the Warrior Code, and protect and defend the Clan, even at the cost of your lives?"

"I do."

"Then from this moment forward, Kestrelpaw. You shall be known as Kestrelflight. We honor your intelligence and bravery, and welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan." Snowstar took a deep breath and turned to the next cat.

"Owlpaw, you shall be known as Owlblossom. We honor your kindness and honesty, and welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan." Still got alot more to go, Snowy. The leader thought, turning to the next cat.

"Daisypaw, you shall be known as Daisyflower. We honor your optimism and loyalty, and welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan." Snowstar shook her fur out and turned to the next cat.

"Trappaw, you shall be known as Trapshadow. We honor your loyalty and determination, and welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan."

And now, last, but definitely not the least...

Hexict RedHead Constellation

"Tempestkit, Weaselkit, Ripplekit, and Mintkit, please come forward!" She couldn't keep the excitement out of her voice when she called her kits to her. But, she kept her gaze steady. She was careful not to make this any different from the other kits' apprentice ceremonies. Every kit becoming a 'paw was a big deal. But these were her kits. Was it wrong of her to feel a little more excited and proud about it than usual?

"You all have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to become apprentices. Tempestkit, from now on, you will be known as Tempestpaw. Blackstorm," She sought out her brother, ice blue eyes meeting amber ones, and she paused. For a long time as she considered this, before her features softened and melted into a soft smile. This was her way of giving her brother her trust back. "You will mentor Tempestpaw. I trust you will pass down all you know onto him." She smiled at her son, before turning to the next kit.

"Weaselkit, from now on, you will be known as Weaselpaw. Finchcall ( Hexict )," She looked over at her friend. She was choosing her kits' mentors very carefully now. These were the cats she felt close to, who she trusted with her children. She smiled at Finchcall as she continued. "You will mentor Weaselpaw. I trust you will pass down all you know onto him." And with that, she gave Weaselpaw a warm smile before turning to the next kit.

"Ripplekit, from now on you will be known as Ripplepaw. Foxthorn," Please, please, StarClan, don't make me regret this decision. The Siamese begged silently as she turned to her brother. She would much rather have had Roarclaw but her other brother already had an apprentice. Besides... Maybe it was time to trust Foxy with an apprentice. Teach him some responsibility. "You will mentor Ripplepaw. I trust you to pass down all you know onto him." She gave her brother a stern look, then smiled at Ripplepaw before turning to her last kit.

"Mintkit, from now on you will be known as Mintpaw. Marshjump ( Lonestar23 )," Snowstar turned to the Tom, narrowing her eyes slightly despite herself. This better be a good decision. She thought, offering the Tom a warm smile. "You will mentor Mintpaw. I trust you to pass down all you know onto her." She smiled at her daughter, who, to her surprise, actually grinned back at her.

And with that, Snowstar sighed and seemed to relax now, shaking her fur out. "Clan dismissed." The Siamese called, leaping down from the Highpeak. What a day, huh?
~~~

Lonestar23 Mintkit - No, Mintpaw now - felt too excited for her own good. The blue-point Siamese was practically bouncing on her paws. She'd never felt this much like a kit - Ironic because now she was an apprentice. The feline dashed away from her brothers almost instantly after Snowstar dismissed the Clan, racing to find her best friend, her "brother", her mentor. Things just couldn't get any better than this, could they? They were going to be the best team ever. Minty and Marshy, for life. She never knew what she was missing before but she wouldn't be missing it any longer. Her and Marshjump... Her and Marshjump. Mentor and apprentice. Those other Clans better watch out for this awesome duo! "Marshy!"

[Edmia]

Blackkit, no, Blackpaw, shifted his feet before going down to his mentor, his adoptive mom. Interesting choice Snowstar... but why do warriors always have their name change? It’s irritating...!

Zerosight lazed around in the elder's den, curled up in a tiny ball among his fluffy nest of moss. He refused to move, finding it too cold to do any strenuous activity. All the cold weather lately was just hectic on his joints, making him wonder if he should go see Caliapaw and get some comfrey root or daisy leaves. The old tom sighed, burying his face deeper into his warm nest at just the thought of getting up.
Pinkpaw, an extremely shy eight moon old apprentice entered the den she glanced at all the elders, There’s Boulderdust, he use to be a tough and strong warrior- simply knowing he adores my brother Redpaw makes me fear him. Tawnysplash and Purplepaw chat alot...she’s hyper-critical I’ve heard...I don’t want to go near any of them...but I must...her eyes fell on one elder, alone in the corner Zerosight. Wasn’t he once a medicine cat? Wheatfur died, leaving Caliapaw mentorless...I wonder why he’s not mentoring Caliapaw...of well...Starclan and Medicine Cats have tight bonds, Starclan’s probably training Caliapaw... she shivered as another gust of wind blew through the doorway of the elders den as she stood their holding moss and mousebile. She nervously approached Zerosight before setting the moss and mousebile down,” Your Zerosight, correct?” She stammered gazing at the elderly tom Don’t gawk Pinkpaw...but if I’m correct, he’s blind and won’t know.. she shook her head shaking out her rosy fur, it was almost the color of a foxes hide. She prayed he wasn’t going to lunge at her, or that she’d be the one to discover him dead.

Leaftail steps out of the warriors den and walks around confused

[Fuzzy]

She smiled,” I told you he was real kits. He well handsome. A full grown warrior, light brown fur, and green eyes.” She meowed trying to take out the part about how he had a beautiful body structure and eyes that were like emeralds.
Ashkit came running into the nursery. "What? Where?" She looked around frantically. She saw her father, and small tears dripped from her big eyes. She looked at her father, tilting her head. She was still in shock, the event barely sinking in.

Owlkit's tail twitched in excitement, "What does he look like?" She inquired, jumping in circles around her mother.
Megan

The normally loving and quiet Icekit still stared at her father. She had his white fur and an emerald eye like him but was he really her father? She was also untrusting of things she wanted to believe. Why? Well she didn't want to believe something was true and be heart broken to find out it wasn't. Mum wouldn't lie would she? She wouldn't want to hurt us would she? She wondered. "I want you to prove you my father." She declared. She was going to some how make sure Lightningflash was really her father. She didn't want picked on anymore about not knowing who her father is but she'd be picked on more if Lightningflash wasn't her real father. Her sisters seam to believe he was but then that's what they all wanted to believe it. How could he prove it? She suddenly wondered. She didn't know much about how this stuff worked but that was understandable since she was only thee moons old. She didn't know how kits were made or why they needed a father. She had gotten on pretty well so far, though she wanted her father sometime even when she didn't know him. Though she hadn't known, or believed she had, her father till this point she often wanted him, just to stay with him away from the other kits, not her littermates. But the other ThunderClan kits that picked on her and her siblings about not knowing him.

[lone]

his mind was a jumble of things. the battle, the tension, everything was making him really think. powdernose believed all he could in starclan, although it was difficult to know of the ways clans thought of what happened in the afterlife. he had come from an unknown family, out in the forest somewhere. ever since he was five moons, the tom had been looking for his real family, just to see them one single time. to show them how he has grown.
powdernose frowned as he heard the other's words. "you could be right, however peace will never last for too long. it's nearly impossible to live in a clan and not find yourself in the center of a battlefield." he sighed and looked around camp for a moment, then perked up as he listened closely to the silver tom.
"i'm honestly surprised. the stoic-face stonegazer is actually making a joke?" he pretended to search around, eyes sparkling with a glimmer of mischief. "have the squirrels begun to fly? has riverclan grown scales?" powdernose smiled as he teased the elder tom, tail curling around to nudge his flank playfully.
that was the most powdernose had ever seen stonegazer laugh. now it was his silently-decided job to make him lighten up a bit. no job can be done efficiently without a sliver of laughter.
"you have point, though. a very inarguable one. yes, indeed, you, my fine feline with the most serious of expressions i have ever seen in my twenty-seven moons of life, are absolutely, completely, utterly correct about that little statement right there. thanks for noticing," powdernose shook out his pelt as he purred lightheartedly, crouching in front of the larger tom now.
"you need to loosen up a little. how about you take a 'lazy day?' in easier terms, you would just relax for a full day, no worrying about anything. i can teach you how to do so, if you'd like to try." his tail gently swayed, ears pivoting back and forth. powdernose really hoped stonegazer would accept his idea, just so he could finally allow himself to relieve some stress.
it definitely wasn't because he wanted to spend an entire day with the tom.
The longer the younger warrior spoke, the more the elder had to struggle to keep his stony expression up. The tom had some walls up, but there were also cracks in these walls; for example, the way that he was almost smiling at Powdernose's words. They were funny to him, making him want to be open and laugh and joke around, but at the same time... his reputation was what was keeping them up. Stonegazer had a reputation in the Clan for taking no-nonsense, for being a stern-faced tom, and he liked that reputation. He was always on guard. He wasn't distrusting, on the contrary, he would trust his clanmates with his life. But he was introverted, and that meant sometimes staying away from his clanmates when he had the chance. Stonegazer's stoic armor, like all things, had weaknesses and cracks and chips.

It was just a matter of finding the right cat to take those things and pull them apart. "That's ridiculous. I don't make jokes, just as none of those things will ever happen." Clearing his throat, and feeling a slight flush rising, his heartbeat quickening just the slightest bit (he was quite embarrassed, but too stubborn to admit it) Stonegazer avoided eye contact and instead looked down at the ground like he could drill a hole in it through the power of eyesight alone. But, his ears pricked back up and he fixed Powdernose with that icy gaze once again at the mention of a "lazy day." What was this? He couldn't remember the last tie he had just relaxed, without worrying... even now, talking with Powdernose, part of his mind was on the inevitable battle that would come.

He should be talking with the younger warriors, making sure they were ready, patrolling the borders, doing something useful instead. Not sitting here and talking with another cat. "Perhaps after the battle." Stonegazer was about to get to his paws, that familiar coldness returning and basically sweeping him up with it's icy power, before he stopped and looked once more at the tom he already considered a... nice cat. An acquaintance. Not a friend, not yet. "Actually, maybe I will take you up on your offer. You do understand, however, at the first sign of trouble that I will be up and gone in an instant?" He asked, his tail twitching lightly as he stayed in the half-raised position. He wasn't quite sitting, wasn't quite standing - it was that awkward in-between position that made things so uncomfortable normally.

Snowpaw nodded, "I guess you always know yourself best!" He said. Pawing at the clump of leaves, disturbing a small insect. It darted out of it and Snowpaw put his paw on it before trying to shake it off the dead insect off his pad. His expression twisted in a mix of annoyance and disgust. However his left ear twitched, giving a hint he was still listening to her. He looked up, hearing her laughter. He blinked in confusion, Snowpaw tilt his head. Is there something on my face? Did I say something to loud? Wait, no. Caliapaw would have told me to be quiet if I did. He didn't catch on yet let out a nervous laugh. Following her gaze up to the sky; Leaf-fall was here. "That's better than nothin! I'll take what I can get." Snowpaw said, then realized how uncomfortable she must be. He got the hint she didn't really like being the center of attention but sometimes Snowpaw did it anyway. No, not to be rude or make or uncomfortable but because he had to have his answers. Which when he couldn't find out how Caliapaw or any one his family members were doing; he found out the answer. He could be called nosy but he did know where not to push his limits.

The apprentice had been busy at training. He always had some dislike for battle training but that was the thing he was doing the most. Kind of no choice for him. Snowpaw believed that family will usually come before the clan. Truefully his friends had to deal with everything he thought. Unluckily for him, he screamed it. Well not exactly scream or on purpose but it was loud enough for a lot of cats to hear. Snowpaw hadn't told anyone but some of his family and friends about his hearing. Actually he didn't tell Caliapaw yet, either. He had a feeling his mentor and Snowstar had some hint but he was worried of not becoming a warrior. That they would make him become a elder or stay a apprentice forever.

Snowpaw chuckled and followed her in the sun, laying down. His head rested on his paws, closing his eyes briefly. Laughing at her comment, " Oh I know I can be. It my specialty!" However it was a second he thought she was actually saying it seriously. He was still unsure but decided to go with the more positive choice. Snowpaw rolled around on the grass, careful not to roll into Caliapaw. "Leaves. Leaves. Leaves everywhheree!" He sang horribly, shaking a leaf off his head before containing to roll around.

"I can't wait for Leaf-bare and no, not for us to have no prey. Prey is wonderfully delicious. However the snow! I can finally blend in." Snowpaw was right, his white pelt and blue eyes made him stuck out like a sore-thumb. Leaf-Bare was the best season for him and he actually didn't mind the coldness. "Though I hope it doesn't bring any sickness. With all the things happening, if I get sick I can't train. Caliapaw, I need training if I can't do tricks."

The medicine cat raised an eyebrow at her brother's antics, giggling softly at first and then sighing and shaking her head just the slightest bit. "Snowpaw..." It was partly a warning, telling him to "chill out" because he was going to draw attention, and she had come out here to avoid that - out here, sometimes she felt like herself again. Invisible, and unnoticed. Just as she had been before. She had never been set above everything else, and in the spotlight, which was part of the reason this was even more uncomfortable. Before now, she had just been another apprentice. Sure, she had her family and her friends, but as far as being the cat in someone else's life, that had never happened. She had never been someone who someone else was willing to give up their whole world for, or change it. And she never would be; Caliapaw just wasn't that special. In her eyes, she might have been the medicine cat, but that didn't make her any more special or unique then anyone else.

All she could do was try and save as many lives as possible. She couldn't fight, and when she did try to fight, she would lose, because she was a lot weaker then she appeared. She hated having walls up. But she couldn't bring them down on her own. She wanted to open up to other cats so desperately, except she would never be able to, because trust was something that took her a very long time. Even when she completely trusted someone, she still couldn't tell them everything. And she was deathly afraid of losing someone she cared about. Ever since she had lost Ivypaw from messing up, she had been terrified that she would one day have someone she truly cared about come in and she would end up losing them all because she wasn't good enough. To be honest, Caliapaw didn't know what she was doing here. She had to fake it when she didn't know what to do, or worry about freezing up and letting something bad happen. That was the problem of the job.

Another cat's fate could rest entirely on her being able to save them. There was no such thing as "an off day" for her, even if nothing was happening, she still had to be ready. Tensed, ready to save. Like someone else's angel. But if she was their angel, then where was hers? Her brother's words had been playing somewhat in the back of her head, but she had heard every one, albeit muted. "Take care of yourself and you should be able to keep from getting sick. But Snowpaw... I swear, if you mess with me, since you can blend into the snow... I will see to it that you personally are brought to my den and I will keep you there for half a moon." Even though she was kidding, her words sounded serious. The only thing that gave her joke away was the lightest twinkling of her eyes. But, at the same time, she was partly serious - if Snowpaw dared to knock her into a snowdrift, or scare her, she would definitely get back at him by doing something like that.

No way she was going to let her brother have the last word! Growing up with two brothers and two sisters, Caliapaw had always felt like she was sort of the odd one out. Her sisters had each other, and her brothers had each other, and she was always tagging along with one group or the other. Switching back and forth. But she didn't really have a "bonded" sibling that stuck to her like glue. The closest to that would be Doepaw. Now that they were apprentices, she was the odd one out once again. Every one of her siblings would be warriors someday, except for her. Until she died or chose to step down, she would forever be a medicine cat. And as much as Caliapaw would have loved to just GO, she knew the Clan needed her. She was needed. She felt like she was trying to move around in a new home all of a sudden, and she was doing her best to adjust to the differences, stumbling around blindly.

The tom licked his sister's cheek and took a step back, his smile melted away as he saw his sister's expression. He knew something was up. The caramel brown tom would never brag about it, but he was fairly detail oriented, he noticed every little thing, and never on purpous, he just noticed. And he knew his sister best of all, out of every cat in Thunderclan, out of every cat in his family, he knew his sisters body movements, his sister's expressions to a T. He gave her a small smile and nuzzled her " C'mon sis...Name 1 leader who hasn't messed up, and name 1 Medicine cat who hasn't lost a paitent...Calia...I'm not gonna lie, you're gonna mess up, no going around that." he began, his blue hues danced with honesty, and a serious gaze was plastered on his face. He never sugarcoated anything, he believed that felines should know the truth, no matter how much it may hurt, because to him, it seemed like it would hurt worse to be lied to. " But the reality is, everyone messes up, but the thing that makes amazing medicine cats and amazing leaders is the fact that they either learn from their mistakes and keep moving, or they use that mess up to create something beautiful." he added, a smile spread across his dainty mouth. " Just make sure you're not standing still....and you'll do great." he purred, his bob of a tail jiggled.

Doepaw sat himself down and began to lick his chestfur, cleaning and de-fluffying the cotton white fluff. He liked it when he didn't look like a walking fluff ball, it annoyed him, the tugging of the twigs when he made his way through the camp entrance, the tingles and tickles he got whenever the wind blew or whenever a leaf brushed his sides, it drove him insane. He shot his sister a grin and gave his chest one last lick before turning his clear, blue gaze back to his sister, blue met amber " I don't have a mentor at the moment....so I've got all the time in the world to be with my sister! So...don't think you're the only one who feels lost okay? We'll both lean on each other." he hummed. He had lost his mentor in the battle against the Dusk Syndicate, same as his sister, so he knew what she was going through, the aching heart, the lost feeling, he knew it perfectly. "Now of course you're gonna have to point out which herbs I gotta pick, because I don't know a single thing about being a medicine cat other than the fact that you get to save other's lives!" he yipped. But, his smile quickly went away as she began to speak once again, his ears folded, his lips curved down, and his eyes narrowed, making the tom look at his sister through his lashes "If you weren't meant to be a medicine cat, than why would an old, experienced warrior who then became a medicine cat choose you? If you weren't meant to be a medicine cat than why is Starclan staying silent about your ceremony? Caliapaw, everything happens for a reason, you just have to take advantage of it." he stated. He believed his sister had everything she needed, she was more that capable of being a great medicine cat, she was smart and sympathetic, the only thing she lacked was self confidence, and he planned on helping her with that.

Messing up was a part of life; the she cat knew that. But the problem was, most cats her age weren't messing up so severely. They would miss a piece of prey and maybe some cat in the Clan would go hungry that day, or they would slip up during a battle and end up in the medicine cat's den for a little while. But they normally didn't make fatal mistakes. Caliapaw hadn't expected to lose a patient so soon. She was the odd one out here... and no one else in the Clan could understand that. She had a family, friends, cats that she cared for and who cared for her, but they had their own lives. There was no one in her life that could put her above their own needs. That was what Caliapaw wanted... as strange as it seemed, that was a secret hope of hers. That one day she would have someone like that. Doepaw was the closest to a true best-friend sibling bond she had ever had, but she'd always had her two brothers and her two sisters. Two toms - two she cats. And Caliapaw was the odd one one there, being the third she cat in the litter, and with toms... well, they had each other. So she was tagging along with one group or another growing up. Even now she was different, but it was in another way.

She would never be like her siblings now. She wouldn't be able to fully understand their struggles being warriors, just as they would never be able to fully understand her struggles as a medicine cat. And it hurt that this responsibility was hers and hers alone to bear. It was hard that this responsibility was hers. Eventually she would have a different kind of responsibility, but not for a long while. "I know, but Doepaw... if I make a mistake, someone ends up more hurt then they would have been, or they die. I don't have room to go back and try again, I don't get a do-over... if I make a mistake, that's it." She wanted to cry. Except Caliapaw didn't cry. She had put enough walls up recently to keep her from showing that type of raw emotion, but it seemed her brother had found some chips in these walls. Chips that she was desperately trying to repair even as they spoke, but it would never work. She couldn't be as strong as she wanted as long as there were cracks in her armor; as long as there were breaks in her walls. Her brother's comment made her smile just the slightest bit. She liked that; leaning on each other.

"Okay..." Caliapaw was still uncertain that this was the right thing, but she had to believe that it would be okay eventually. Someday, somehow, she would fix things. His next comment made her laugh a little, a slight sob sneaking out through her laugh, and stopping just as abruptly. No. She wasn't going to cry, not now. Maybe when she could be alone again she would be able to have her own thoughts. She would figure out how to deal with this on her own, or she would open up eventually, just as soon as she thought she could get herself under control. She needed to take care of her patients and deal with it herself first before she could tell someone else. Had Wheatfur still been alive, perhaps she would have spoken to him. "I don't know. All I know is I didn't think before I chose this... and I didn't think I'd be alone again so soon." She didn't even have her old mentor to go to, because she didn't trust him as much.

Bearstrike was nice, and great, and all that... but it just wasn't the same. Wheatfur had probably been the first cat that had chosen her first. Above training, above a friend, above everything else, he had chosen her first. And now he was gone. That type of thing just wasn't forgotten. And with Wheatfur gone, it was harder to think about moving on, more so then ever. Not that she was saying her family hadn't been there for her - they had. But it was different, somehow, because he'd seen something in her - something new. Something that she hadn't seen in herself. And whatever it was, he had acted on it. Which made her feel wanted, and special, or it had for just that brief instant before he was gone from her life.

The normally loving and quiet Emeraldkit still stared at her father. She had his white fur and an emerald eye like him but was he really her father? She was also untrusting of things she wanted to believe. Why? Well she didn't want to believe something was true and be heart broken to find out it wasn't. Mum wouldn't lie would she? She wouldn't want to hurt us would she? She wondered. "I want you to prove you my father." She declared. She was going to some how make sure Lightningflash was really her father. She didn't want picked on anymore about not knowing who her father is but she'd be picked on more if Lightningflash wasn't her real father. Her sisters seam to believe he was but then that's what they all wanted to believe it. How could he prove it? She suddenly wondered. She didn't know much about how this stuff worked but that was understandable since she was only thee moons old. She didn't know how kits were made or why they needed a father. She had gotten on pretty well so far, though she wanted her father sometime even when she didn't know him. Though she hadn't known, or believed she had, her father till this point she often wanted him, just to stay with him away from the other kits, not her littermates. But the other ThunderClan kits that picked on her and her siblings about not knowing him.
Rosefern smiled,” His eyes are just like yours, Emeraldkit.” She meowed I thought this would be more joyful them seeing their father. Poor Witheredkit hardly even sees her father...

Rosebelly's ears flattened at her condescending tone. Her eyes sparked with anger, but she quickly recovered and forced a chuckle and a smile. "You sure act like one," she retorted quietly. Rosebelly took note of Ivorythorn's expression. She was definitely up to something. Rosebelly shifted her white paws nervously, and pricked her ears forward to listen to what she had to say. Rosebelly frowned. So that was what she wanted! A stroll. But why? It was unlike Ivorythorn to ask her to go anywhere with her. A spark of fear pierced her heart. Had Darkrose broken her promise? No, she wouldn't do that. She wouldn't tell her, Rosebelly told herself, but her mind spoke differently. Traitor! Traitor! it seemed to screech. Rosebelly shrugged it off, and reluctantly stood up. "Sure. Let's go," she said stiffly. Rosebelly padded towards the camp entrance with a slight limp. Her eyes were dark with worry, but her expression was light. A walk sounded nice, especially during this time of year, but the fear of what happened the day before still lingered in her mind.

(Bump Queenie )

(Apologies it was a busy show week for me!)
Ivorythorn followed Rosebelly slowly noting the limp that made her drag behind. The pace was much too slow for Ivorythorn, and she almost said something. But she figured if Rosebelly couldn't keep up she would just turn around and Ivorythorn would be at square one again. Discouraged the duo trudged on. Ivorythorn watched for something that might spook Rosebelly. The she-cat was starting to itch for some excitement and a good laugh. There was a leaf shaking in the leaf-bare wind. Maybe she could say she'd seen something move in that direction? No. Too obvious. Definitely not interesting enough. A patch of brown fur was stuck on a bramble, maybe Ivorythorn could say it was badger fur. The warrior sighed. No it was very obviously from a previous cat leaving during the patrol. She sighed, "Rosebelly - do you ever just get scared for the heck of it?" She knew it was an odd question, but Ivorythorn figured it was philosophical enough just to wonder about and spark ideas to get Rosebelly scared.

"Don't get revenge on me! I'm the perfect friend, you wouldn't WANT to mess up THAT relationship!" Ottertail mewed, his voice squeaking just the smallest bit. It was moments like these, he thought, that made friendships all the more worth having. His eyes twinkled with a playful roguishness, even as she spoke, and he scooted away a little further from her as she took another two steps towards him. "Ha! What'd I tell you, I am perfection!" He laughed, before realizing she probably wouldn't take too kindly to that comment. Assuming a more flirtatious expression (keeping that teasing light in his eyes, of course) the tom straightened up and summoned up some fake courage to take two steps back towards her. "Next to you of course, Minty-boo." The words sounded a little more slick and well-rehearsed, rather then rough around the edges from laughing, but the meaning behind them remained the same. Ottertail would never want to ruin the perfect friendship the two of them had.


Mintberry rolled her eyes before pricking her ears up. "Was that flirting I sense, fluff-butt?" she inquired referring to his perfection statement. Her whiskers twitched at that, showing she as still simply teasing him. "Cause from what I know, best friends don't flirt with each other," she winked before laughing a little, bouncing on her paws a little as she watched his reaction. "Flirting is how you ruin relationships, so if anyone is threatening to ruin ours, it's you and your flirting," she teased once more. Mintberry couldn't help but start to trot around the larger feline, going in a rather large circle around him. She just simply couldn't hold still and if she tried to any longer she would've grown bored and would've forgotten what she was attempting to hold a conversation with someone. Ottertail didn't bore her often though, so it was easy to keep a conversation going with him. It was another reason the two of them got along so well most times too.

The longer the younger warrior spoke, the more the elder had to struggle to keep his stony expression up. The tom had some walls up, but there were also cracks in these walls; for example, the way that he was almost smiling at Powdernose's words. They were funny to him, making him want to be open and laugh and joke around, but at the same time... his reputation was what was keeping them up. Stonegazer had a reputation in the Clan for taking no-nonsense, for being a stern-faced tom, and he liked that reputation. He was always on guard. He wasn't distrusting, on the contrary, he would trust his clanmates with his life. But he was introverted, and that meant sometimes staying away from his clanmates when he had the chance. Stonegazer's stoic armor, like all things, had weaknesses and cracks and chips.

It was just a matter of finding the right cat to take those things and pull them apart. "That's ridiculous. I don't make jokes, just as none of those things will ever happen." Clearing his throat, and feeling a slight flush rising, his heartbeat quickening just the slightest bit (he was quite embarrassed, but too stubborn to admit it) Stonegazer avoided eye contact and instead looked down at the ground like he could drill a hole in it through the power of eyesight alone. But, his ears pricked back up and he fixed Powdernose with that icy gaze once again at the mention of a "lazy day." What was this? He couldn't remember the last tie he had just relaxed, without worrying... even now, talking with Powdernose, part of his mind was on the inevitable battle that would come.

He should be talking with the younger warriors, making sure they were ready, patrolling the borders, doing something useful instead. Not sitting here and talking with another cat. "Perhaps after the battle." Stonegazer was about to get to his paws, that familiar coldness returning and basically sweeping him up with it's icy power, before he stopped and looked once more at the tom he already considered a... nice cat. An acquaintance. Not a friend, not yet. "Actually, maybe I will take you up on your offer. You do understand, however, at the first sign of trouble that I will be up and gone in an instant?" He asked, his tail twitching lightly as he stayed in the half-raised position. He wasn't quite sitting, wasn't quite standing - it was that awkward in-between position that made things so uncomfortable normally.


The medicine cat raised an eyebrow at her brother's antics, giggling softly at first and then sighing and shaking her head just the slightest bit. "Snowpaw..." It was partly a warning, telling him to "chill out" because he was going to draw attention, and she had come out here to avoid that - out here, sometimes she felt like herself again. Invisible, and unnoticed. Just as she had been before. She had never been set above everything else, and in the spotlight, which was part of the reason this was even more uncomfortable. Before now, she had just been another apprentice. Sure, she had her family and her friends, but as far as being the cat in someone else's life, that had never happened. She had never been someone who someone else was willing to give up their whole world for, or change it. And she never would be; Caliapaw just wasn't that special. In her eyes, she might have been the medicine cat, but that didn't make her any more special or unique then anyone else.

All she could do was try and save as many lives as possible. She couldn't fight, and when she did try to fight, she would lose, because she was a lot weaker then she appeared. She hated having walls up. But she couldn't bring them down on her own. She wanted to open up to other cats so desperately, except she would never be able to, because trust was something that took her a very long time. Even when she completely trusted someone, she still couldn't tell them everything. And she was deathly afraid of losing someone she cared about. Ever since she had lost Ivypaw from messing up, she had been terrified that she would one day have someone she truly cared about come in and she would end up losing them all because she wasn't good enough. To be honest, Caliapaw didn't know what she was doing here. She had to fake it when she didn't know what to do, or worry about freezing up and letting something bad happen. That was the problem of the job.

Another cat's fate could rest entirely on her being able to save them. There was no such thing as "an off day" for her, even if nothing was happening, she still had to be ready. Tensed, ready to save. Like someone else's angel. But if she was their angel, then where was hers? Her brother's words had been playing somewhat in the back of her head, but she had heard every one, albeit muted. "Take care of yourself and you should be able to keep from getting sick. But Snowpaw... I swear, if you mess with me, since you can blend into the snow... I will see to it that you personally are brought to my den and I will keep you there for half a moon." Even though she was kidding, her words sounded serious. The only thing that gave her joke away was the lightest twinkling of her eyes. But, at the same time, she was partly serious - if Snowpaw dared to knock her into a snowdrift, or scare her, she would definitely get back at him by doing something like that.

No way she was going to let her brother have the last word! Growing up with two brothers and two sisters, Caliapaw had always felt like she was sort of the odd one out. Her sisters had each other, and her brothers had each other, and she was always tagging along with one group or the other. Switching back and forth. But she didn't really have a "bonded" sibling that stuck to her like glue. The closest to that would be Doepaw. Now that they were apprentices, she was the odd one out once again. Every one of her siblings would be warriors someday, except for her. Until she died or chose to step down, she would forever be a medicine cat. And as much as Caliapaw would have loved to just GO, she knew the Clan needed her. She was needed. She felt like she was trying to move around in a new home all of a sudden, and she was doing her best to adjust to the differences, stumbling around blindly.


Messing up was a part of life; the she cat knew that. But the problem was, most cats her age weren't messing up so severely. They would miss a piece of prey and maybe some cat in the Clan would go hungry that day, or they would slip up during a battle and end up in the medicine cat's den for a little while. But they normally didn't make fatal mistakes. Caliapaw hadn't expected to lose a patient so soon. She was the odd one out here... and no one else in the Clan could understand that. She had a family, friends, cats that she cared for and who cared for her, but they had their own lives. There was no one in her life that could put her above their own needs. That was what Caliapaw wanted... as strange as it seemed, that was a secret hope of hers. That one day she would have someone like that. Doepaw was the closest to a true best-friend sibling bond she had ever had, but she'd always had her two brothers and her two sisters. Two toms - two she cats. And Caliapaw was the odd one one there, being the third she cat in the litter, and with toms... well, they had each other. So she was tagging along with one group or another growing up. Even now she was different, but it was in another way.

She would never be like her siblings now. She wouldn't be able to fully understand their struggles being warriors, just as they would never be able to fully understand her struggles as a medicine cat. And it hurt that this responsibility was hers and hers alone to bear. It was hard that this responsibility was hers. Eventually she would have a different kind of responsibility, but not for a long while. "I know, but Doepaw... if I make a mistake, someone ends up more hurt then they would have been, or they die. I don't have room to go back and try again, I don't get a do-over... if I make a mistake, that's it." She wanted to cry. Except Caliapaw didn't cry. She had put enough walls up recently to keep her from showing that type of raw emotion, but it seemed her brother had found some chips in these walls. Chips that she was desperately trying to repair even as they spoke, but it would never work. She couldn't be as strong as she wanted as long as there were cracks in her armor; as long as there were breaks in her walls. Her brother's comment made her smile just the slightest bit. She liked that; leaning on each other.

"Okay..." Caliapaw was still uncertain that this was the right thing, but she had to believe that it would be okay eventually. Someday, somehow, she would fix things. His next comment made her laugh a little, a slight sob sneaking out through her laugh, and stopping just as abruptly. No. She wasn't going to cry, not now. Maybe when she could be alone again she would be able to have her own thoughts. She would figure out how to deal with this on her own, or she would open up eventually, just as soon as she thought she could get herself under control. She needed to take care of her patients and deal with it herself first before she could tell someone else. Had Wheatfur still been alive, perhaps she would have spoken to him. "I don't know. All I know is I didn't think before I chose this... and I didn't think I'd be alone again so soon." She didn't even have her old mentor to go to, because she didn't trust him as much.

Bearstrike was nice, and great, and all that... but it just wasn't the same. Wheatfur had probably been the first cat that had chosen her first. Above training, above a friend, above everything else, he had chosen her first. And now he was gone. That type of thing just wasn't forgotten. And with Wheatfur gone, it was harder to think about moving on, more so then ever. Not that she was saying her family hadn't been there for her - they had. But it was different, somehow, because he'd seen something in her - something new. Something that she hadn't seen in herself. And whatever it was, he had acted on it. Which made her feel wanted, and special, or it had for just that brief instant before he was gone from her life.


Snowpaw stopped, his ear lowering a little. Leaves covered him, one on his head, a few on his back, and that was about it. "Sorry." He mumbled, feeling a bit embarrassed. However instead of rolling still or stopping fully, he just flipped a leaf over and over. Little things could keep him busy or be fun to him, like Caliapaw's talking. She didn't really talk much or to Snowpaw's experience but he found it interesting. Snowpaw could hear the lecture he had just a week ago for.. well doing something he shouldn't have. Their would be times when he would rebel against the rules rather than following it but he did his best to protect his clan. He wouldn't tell Caliapaw or any of his siblings about what he did. Which meant he actually visited outside the clan once a moon. No, he wasn't in love. Snowpaw wanted to see what it was like outside the clans but he didn't cross, ever at least.

He remembered that Caliapaw was just a apprentice like him but she had to act mature. Snowpaw rolled his eyes a little at the word, `mature`. He was what you would call immature and he enjoyed it. He furrowed his eyebrows, glaring at the leaf in his paws. He just found a new word to hate, `mature`. "Welp, added a new word I hate to the list." Snowpaw mumbled out loud but it sounded like he was just speaking normally, not mumbles. However he didn't know that, smiling at Caliapaw.

Hearing her reply, he obviously thought she was serious. "Yeep! Okay, I'll take care of myself.. But can I do that to someone else?" He asked, blinking in surprise. Snowpaw didn't think he could stay in the Medince cat den for more than a day, it made him.. uncomfortable. His eyes lit up, "Caliapaw. I met a cat who looked just like a wolf! I mean.. I think. Never seen one but he looked just like I heard! Black fur with yellow eyes and was huge. He was a bit rude though but he didn't seem to mind me asking questions. Actually I just avoided the wolf questions because the first one I asked, he just gave me a look. Scary!" Snowpaw shivered, remembering the encounter with the apprentice. "I think his name was Wolfpaw. " He added but it made sense. His gaze wandered the clearing, searching for him. Frowning a little when he didn't see him, "I think we are friends. I dunno but... I hope so! He must have stories to tell." Snowpaw chirped, happily. He actually saw the apprentice before, he had almost died in the gathering but he didn't mention it.

Snowpaw chuckled, he didn't want to sound rude. However he didn't intended it to, hearing his own words. "Gah, did I sound rude?" He fretted, looking at the leaves in his paws again. He didn't like when he did but he never intended it to. I sound like them, don't I? Snowpaw frowned, luckily he didn't shout the words out. If he did, he was scared the apprentice would hear him. Wanting to keep his own pelt, he would make it up secretly to him.

A jet black she-cat sat by her lonesome in the cozy den, with her long tail curled around her body. She stared in silence out the entrance of the den, looking out into the clearing with a calm look of content across her thin face. She blinked her bright golden eyes as she thought back longingly to her kithood. Her only friend had been Caribouheart, who was now her loving mate. Perhaps longingly wouldn't be the correct word though; Lightningstrike missed her innocence of course, but that innocence made her heart ache sadly as she thought of the unspeakable events that had occurred in her broken family. The she-cat shook her head to clear away the thoughts as her eyes rested once more upon the eccentric kits that romped and played in the chilly clearing. The clan had received snow quite early in the season, and patches of it lay still around the clearing, and patches of dying grass appeared beside it. Lightningstrike sighed once more shifting a bit in her cozy nest as a gust of wind ruffled her dark pelt.

Hearing that he was to be Mintpaw's mentor was one of the greatest experiences of Marshjump's life. Not to mention that he was so glad she was an apprentice now, now they could go on all sorts of new adventures! Things were going to be different, but it would be a good different. "Lil' Minty!" He mewed, staying still as she approached him, his tail twitching eagerly and a smile on his maw. This was definitely the start of some new adventures, and new exciting things. Marshjump was already thinking of ways to train his new apprentice, and thinking of the time they could spend together. Laughing, talking as they explored the borders... continuing their play-fights, although this time there would be more training involved... and hunting together. Yes, Marshjump was absolutely thrilled. "This is gonna be great," He purred after a minute, his tail twitching back and forth happily, a smile on his maw as he did so.

Random Melody

[Brilliance]

The pulsating of a heart. The rhythm of heavy paws stomping against the moist, soft grounds, the feel of a slight wind ruffling the fur. It was a delicate race. A thoughtful process. When one knew they entwined with the wind. It was like Passionblaze could run with his eyes closed without bumping into anything. The key word being could. However, hisbeyes were widen. Those golden orbs moving in every direction as he flashed a grin toward any clan mates he passed. As he skidded to a halt, using his hind legs to feel back; he stopped. It kicked up enough dust, some getting into his eyes, making him gag up a moment. "That's not," Cough."What I," Another cough. "Was planning." Last cough. The flamed tom got up to his paws and shook his pelt. "Talk about a grand entrance," he rolled his eyes. One thing he needed to work on was his hinderance. He could never stop without causing an erupt of dust bunnies floating around.
Since he didn't feel like grooming his fur, he walked around the perimeter, nodding in acknowledgement to the other felines around the area. He definitely wasn't thinking about leaving camp again. Nor, was he hungry. While on that little run, he filled up on garden foods. The pleasant of blueberries wafted into his nose, overwhelming him with pleasure that he followed the scent to stuff them down. When he returned to Thunderclan, that little snack lingered onto his pelt, mixing in with his strawberry scent.
In the distance, Passionblaze strolled to a flower bush. He wasn't an expert on the floral beauties, but he did know that when his eye caught a pretty sight, it was hard for him to look away. So, he sat in front of these unknown flowers, and he took a sniff at them. Who knew it could be such a perfect day...even when war was approaching soon. Taking a run, eating fruit, and now being enthralled by these multi floral beings? What could make a day more perfect? Passionblaze sighed blissfully.

Mintberry rolled her eyes before pricking her ears up. "Was that flirting I sense, fluff-butt?" she inquired referring to his perfection statement. Her whiskers twitched at that, showing she as still simply teasing him. "Cause from what I know, best friends don't flirt with each other," she winked before laughing a little, bouncing on her paws a little as she watched his reaction. "Flirting is how you ruin relationships, so if anyone is threatening to ruin ours, it's you and your flirting," she teased once more.

Ottertail didn't bore her often though, so it was easy to keep a conversation going with him. It was another reason the two of them got along so well most times too.

The fluffy tom shrugged at her teasing accusation, smirking just the slightest bit as though to say "perhaps." "Hey! I would never ruin a relationship with my flirting!" After he spoke, Ottertail hesitated for a minute, half wondering if he had just insulted himself... but ultimately he passed it off as a good thing and continued speaking. "Besides, you should be flattered!" He smirked at her, turning his head and twisting his body in an attempt to follow her circling pattern around him. Ottertail reached out a paw to bat playfully at her, despite the wide circle she was taking around him. In the process of doing so, he came near to rolling over onto his back... in which case his head would have been fairly close to her. For a moment, anyways, when she passed by it again. The day was getting away from him now; perhaps he should find something useful to do, but for right now, Ottertail was having too good of a time with his friend to throw it all away for the sake of duty.
Snowpaw stopped, his ear lowering a little. Leaves covered him, one on his head, a few on his back, and that was about it. "Sorry." He mumbled, feeling a bit embarrassed. However instead of rolling still or stopping fully, he just flipped a leaf over and over. Little things could keep him busy or be fun to him, like Caliapaw's talking.

Wanting to keep his own pelt, he would make it up secretly to him.
Unsure of whether he had really believed her at first or if he was playing along, Caliapaw gave him a puzzled glance before he finished speaking. Well, that answered her question - he had obviously thought she was serious, and was taking her words to heart. A satisfied smirk spread over her maw, a purr rumbling in her throat as she thought of things to do now. "Fine by me," She answered, her whiskers twitching a little with amusement. It was funny to see Snowpaw's reaction. Sometimes it was nice, being able to joke around again, out of the earshot of other cats who would be watching her. In these still-early stages, cats were curious as to what type of cat Caliapaw was... they would watch her sometimes, approach her sometimes, and sometimes just talk about her as though she couldn't hear them.

It was normally "poor thing" or "I hope she can do this" talk, but every once in a while she would hear another cat's name involved. That made her angrier... there was no reason to drag anyone into Clan gossip. It was stupid, and Caliapaw had hardly ever participated in that kind of thing. Sometimes there were general things she was curious about - such as the WindClan/ThunderClan drama. She had asked Snowstar about that, but hadn't stayed on the subject for long... she didn't like talking about WindClan. She had no idea who had killed Wheatfur, or if they were even part of the Clans, but she doubted anyone else would have done that. If only she knew whether WindClan had done it for sure or not. If only she had been there. Maybe she could have saved him, maybe she could have done something... but it wasn't going to do any good, dwelling on the past. Thinking about the future was much better, such as what she hoped happened to that other cat.

Caliapaw wasn't good at fighting, having been taken out of warrior training so early, and no longer having Wheatfur to teach her basic protection things... but she had no doubt that if she saw that cat, her fighting skills would increase. Like, by a lot. Just because she would be so angry and frightened and sickeningly sad. All of those emotions would come together to create one huge ball of fire. Caliapaw snapped out of her fantasy when she heard her brother talking, and glanced over at him with a slight frown, her eyes darkening as she did so. "It's pretty cool that you met a cat who looked like that, but if I were you, I wouldn't be calling him scary, or rude, or anything like that." There was a little bit of a light tone to her words, despite how Snowpaw should have known she felt about gossiping.

And, while it wasn't necessarily the vicious, giggling or whispered words that always bothered her, it was still something she didn't care for. "That's great, Snowpaw! Glad you have a friend," Caliapaw mewed with a smile, looking over her brother. Well, the good news was that he wouldn't be lonely if she or the rest of her siblings were busy. Of course, he probably had other friends - she just hadn't met them. And if he wanted to keep those friends, it was better kept that way.

A particular lime-green-eyed, pale gray furred, muscular, jagged-striped apprentice was exiting the apprentice's den, blinking in the sun's afternoon light. After having groomed his fur to perfection in the musty shade of the apprentice's den, the young cat was ready for some fresh air. And maybe a training session if he could pinpoint his mentor. Sure enough, his eyes landed on a striking ginger tom just entering the clearing, kicking up a cloud of dust as he did so. Wonder what he was doing? Jaggedpaw watched for a moment as the tom crossed the clearing towards some flowers, stopping in front of them. He flicked his thin tail in question, cocking his head as Passionblaze seemed to do nothing but stare at the flowers. "Tree-hugger much?" He meowed as he stood, and then started to make his way across the clearing. Of course, the tom held his head high, and walked with a sturdy, confident stride, winking at she-cats as he passed, but taking really no notice to any of the other toms in the clearing. Jaggedpaw didn't have time for them. The only tom he had time for right now was his mentor, Passionblaze. And that was only because this cat had to teach him how to be a warrior. If he didn't then Jaggedpaw would've ignored him just like any other tom. In Jaggedpaw's mind, Passionblaze was no better then him. He was the same, maybe even underneath him. The tom had grown quite a big head in the past week of being apprentice-age. A lot less innocent than he had been as a kit. But he was still a pretty great cat.
Approaching the tom, Jaggedpaw put on his best smirk and walked in front of Passionblaze, placing his bottom right on top of a few of the flowers Passionblaze had been looking at. "Morning dude. So let's just get these pleasantries over with real quick. You are here to teach me. You teach me, I learn, and BAM! I become an amazing warrior. Deal? good, okay." Jaggedpaw didn't even pause for Passionblaze to respond. And the tom was aware that he was acting like a nuisance. But it was fun to play around with older cats. He found their reactions amusing.

Yellowbee was walking up to the kill pile her hazel eyes looked left from right she had a smirk on her face her head held high and her tail swayed with every step .the cream she cat twitched her ears and looked over at a few other cats play fighting she rolled her eyes and with a sigh added with a giggle she picked up her pace and made it to the pile . Now sitting down and grabbed a mouse from the pile and layed down , she started munching on its ear her hazel eyes kept looking at the cats and area . Yellowbee yawned after a while her nose twitched she was getting rather bored now maybe a good fight she can watch? Eh probably better watching a mouse fight or something , she groaned in boredom and placed her head on her paws
" man there's nothing interesting going on! And training just won't cut it " she meowed her whiskers twitched she wondered where her sis was .

Pinkpaw, an extremely shy eight moon old apprentice entered the den she glanced at all the elders, There’s Boulderdust, he use to be a tough and strong warrior- simply knowing he adores my brother Redpaw makes me fear him. Tawnysplash and Purplepaw chat alot...she’s hyper-critical I’ve heard...I don’t want to go near any of them...but I must...her eyes fell on one elder, alone in the corner Zerosight. Wasn’t he once a medicine cat? Wheatfur died, leaving Caliapaw mentorless...I wonder why he’s not mentoring Caliapaw...of well...Starclan and Medicine Cats have tight bonds, Starclan’s probably training Caliapaw... she shivered as another gust of wind blew through the doorway of the elders den as she stood their holding moss and mousebile. She nervously approached Zerosight before setting the moss and mousebile down,” Your Zerosight, correct?” She stammered gazing at the elderly tom Don’t gawk Pinkpaw...but if I’m correct, he’s blind and won’t know.. she shook her head shaking out her rosy fur, it was almost the color of a foxes hide. She prayed he wasn’t going to lunge at her, or that she’d be the one to discover him dead.

Zerosight barely twitched at the sound of another moving around the den, figuring it was another one of the elders coming and going. However, when he heard the apprentice speak, he knew that wasn't the case. He sighed quetly from his position, before forcing himself to life his head at least in order to greet her. "Uh, yeah.." He murmured quietly. "That'd be me." By the smell in the air, he figured she was here to deal with ticks. The old tom pushed himself up into a sitting position, a shiver running down his spine at as his warm fur came into contact with cold air. His blind blue eyes remained closed, but he still directed his face toward where the apprentice was sitting out of habit. He was a bit annoyed at her for interrupting his nap, but his maw remained closed so he contained any harsh words for escaping. The tom waited for her to tell him what she wanted with him, even though he could tell with just one sniff of the air.

As if on cue, Willowfang sauntered up to her sister. "Hey, Yellowbee. What are you doing? Watching these mousebrains fight?" Willofang asked. She eyes the cats and snorted. She sighed, "Yellowbee, I wanna do something. The warriors den makes me claustrophobic with all of them yapping and filling up the air with words. I want to be out in the open, where the words dissipate. I can't stand the heavy air in the dens." Willowfang rolled her eyes and sat down next to her sister. She groaned heavily and collapsed on the ground, looking at the sky and reaching her paws up to the clouds. She felt beyond bored, and hoped her sister had something to do besides eating and watch others fight.

A particular lime-green-eyed, pale gray furred, muscular, jagged-striped apprentice was exiting the apprentice's den, blinking in the sun's afternoon light. After having groomed his fur to perfection in the musty shade of the apprentice's den, the young cat was ready for some fresh air. And maybe a training session if he could pinpoint his mentor. Sure enough, his eyes landed on a striking ginger tom just entering the clearing, kicking up a cloud of dust as he did so. Wonder what he was doing? Jaggedpaw watched for a moment as the tom crossed the clearing towards some flowers, stopping in front of them. He flicked his thin tail in question, cocking his head as Passionblaze seemed to do nothing but stare at the flowers. "Tree-hugger much?" He meowed as he stood, and then started to make his way across the clearing. Of course, the tom held his head high, and walked with a sturdy, confident stride, winking at she-cats as he passed, but taking really no notice to any of the other toms in the clearing. Jaggedpaw didn't have time for them. The only tom he had time for right now was his mentor, Passionblaze. And that was only because this cat had to teach him how to be a warrior. If he didn't then Jaggedpaw would've ignored him just like any other tom. In Jaggedpaw's mind, Passionblaze was no better then him. He was the same, maybe even underneath him. The tom had grown quite a big head in the past week of being apprentice-age. A lot less innocent than he had been as a kit. But he was still a pretty great cat.
Approaching the tom, Jaggedpaw put on his best smirk and walked in front of Passionblaze, placing his bottom right on top of a few of the flowers Passionblaze had been looking at. "Morning dude. So let's just get these pleasantries over with real quick. You are here to teach me. You teach me, I learn, and BAM! I become an amazing warrior. Deal? good, okay." Jaggedpaw didn't even pause for Passionblaze to respond. And the tom was aware that he was acting like a nuisance. But it was fun to play around with older cats. He found their reactions amusing.


Inhaling calmly the scent of flowers, only to exhale a huff of annoyance. Not only did his apprentice just barged in on personal space, but he had the nerve to disrespect such delilcacies! This young one oughta learn to respect nature. Passionblaze carried much patience, as he was doing now. Staring at Jaggedpaw as he was talking. As he was "telling it like it was". Passionblaze simply gave the younger tom a questioning glance, then a roll of his eyes. Since the perfect day couldn't last all day, Passionblaze turned around, flicking his tail roughly toward his apprentice. "First of all, you won't address me by 'dude', capiche?" Passionblaze placed a smirk on his face. To be honest the word seemed so foreign to him. Like...it wasn't apart of his language. And, it was not! His mother taught him to be more respectful towards others. Haven't Jaggedpaw's mother done the same thing? Shaking his head to rid the thought, Passionblaze figured that that should be the first lecture they needed to work on. "Pretty sure I just taught you something now, and it went into one ear and out the other." He joked. Passionblaze wouldn't rush the process with his apprentice. This was his second apprentice. Unfortunately the first met...the bane of her existence. With this unruly apprentice, Passionblaze was going to take everything slow until Jaggedpaw learned the appropriate lesson of patience is a virtue. "Let's go, you buffoon. The first lesson will take place in this clearing. So, you have a lot to learn." Throwing his head back, the deputy winked. If Passionblaze was being honest, in a way, he appreciated the 'uniqueness' that Jaggedpaw had. It was like he was filled with much spunk without ancare in the world. Too bad that micheavious glint in his eyes will become a disappointed one.

Pinkpaw mumbled,” I errr...ticks?” She realized the second it came out how rediculous it sounded stammering off like that about ticks. It’s ticks, nothing bad.

Yellowbee looked at her sister and her eyes lit up she smiled
" oh hey sis! Yeah I'm better of watching a mouse fight! You seem down won't you rather be up? " she meowed and snorted then had a few laughs her jokes werent the best at the moment but she is pretty good at jokes she just needs the right situation . She giggled and her ear twitched
" well I'd say your out in the open now " she giggled with a childish smile
oh come on yellowbee your killing it! Not in a good way ... Start being funny! her tail flicked " I need to work on my jokes " she whispered and looked at her mouse

[Zero]

Pinkpaw mumbled,” I errr...ticks?” She realized the second it came out how rediculous it sounded stammering off like that about ticks. It’s ticks, nothing bad.

Zerosight nodded, chuckling softly at how nervous she seemed. He thought back to when he was that age, realizing he used to act like that too. His demeanor visibly softened at the thought. "I see," He meowed ironically, shuffling around so his back was facing her. "I think I have a few on my back that I can't reach..." The elder would get them himself if he could, but he wasn't as flexible as he once was. "Thank you in advance."

Pinkpaw stammered,” I-I’m happy to do it. I-It makes me braver.” She meowed realizing how pathetic she sounded relying on the elder’s to make her brave.

Willowfang rolled her eyes and said, "Yellowbee, take it easy. Stop being so hard on yourself. Ya gotta lighten up!" She lightly punched her sister in the shoulder. "What do you want to do, then? Something? Anything to save me from these cats, I can't stand them much longer." Willowfang could try her best to make a joke, but most people took what she was saying seriously, and was subsequently offended. So she didn't crack many jokes, but her sister sure did. She hated it when she was hard on herself, and got mad at other cats that she didn't know when they did it. She felt that they were being dramatic, and they should keep their woes to themselves. But I do tend to be a bit hypocritical. Plus, I can make an exception for my sister. Not for anyone else though, She thought. She brought her attention back to the present, and stared at a piece of grass blowing in the wind. Her nose twitched as the breeze hit it.

Yellowbee laughed a bit at her sisters attempt for the joke she smiled
" Not bad sis not bad . And sure! I'm up for anything " she meowed with a smirk she stood up to her paws now shaking her fur her nose twitched she was up for a little adventure but they should stick within their camp they didn't want to break rules or the warrior code . maybe we can play fight? I'm not really wanting to venture out too far from here . Dad taught us better then to break rules and break the warrior code she looked at her sister again and smiled
" wanna play fight? " she asked now forgetting her mouse that she just munched on not too long ago . Her tail flicked

[Zero]

Pinkpaw stammered,” I-I’m happy to do it. I-It makes me braver.” She meowed realizing how pathetic she sounded relying on the elder’s to make her brave.

Zerosight nodded slowly, understanding in more ways than one. "There's no need to be afraid of me," He mewed, yawning. "I used to be just like you." He was a bit shocked at himself for a moment, not usually one to open up to people lately.

"Sure. Sounds better than watching those cats fight. They're awfully bad at it, too," Willowfang said, shrugging. She remembered when she was a young kit and play fought all the time. She hated losing, which was one trait that never went away. "Ready?" she asked, shifting her weight on her back was, ready to spring up into the air. The last time she had done this, she had broken her paw, but Willowfang believed the past was in the past. She didn't want fear to get in the way of anything she did.

She smirked and cracked her neck now stretching she got into a crouch and her weight was also focused on her hind legs but she needed to remember to keep her rage in check this was play fighting not an actual fight
control your anger don't let it control you this is a game . Not a battle.
She took a deep breath you can see that she was slightly nervous
" ready.. " she meowed and made sure her claws stayed down . She didn't want to hurt her sister she made sure she was keeping her anger in check

"Go!" Willowfang shouted, twisting through the air, and batting at her legs. She had aimed for the back of the knee, and kicked her legs through the air, trying to give herself more momentum. She loved the rush of air on her face and the wind running through her whiskers.

Pinkpaw stammered,” You were a coward like me?” She asked shocked that the braver former medicine cat once was scared of the elders, battle training- no medicine cat’s don’t fight so was Zerosight once as an apprentice scared of herbs like she was scared of hurting the prey? Was he scared of healing a cat like she was scared of harming a cat? She had so many questions, but fear was the only thing stopping her, she breathed as she dabbed mousebile on his back,” Were you scared of herbs, like I’m scared of hurting prey?” She stammered,” Did you have a fear of healing cats, like I’m scared of hurting cats?” She gulped Wow. I rarely say that much.

Yellowbee squeaked happily as her sister batted the back of her knee she ran to the left of her sister and used her hind legs to launch herself at willowfang . She tackled her sister playfully and nipped one of her ears she missed this acting like a kit. Well technically she did act like one already but she just didn't play fight as much she had her anger to worry about . Her hazel eyes lit up with joy she purred a bit " got you sis" she meowed with a grin

Willowfang wrinkled her nose and leaped up, putting her paws on either side of her sister's head, aiming to grab it and flip her on her back. In that instant, Willowfang was reminded how nice it was to be carefree. But she knew that they all had worries, and no warrior could be completely carefree- at least not in their right mind. In truth, she was angry her sister was able to land a hit on her, and wanted to be able to do the same to her. "Watch out, Yellow!" she shouted as she aimed for her head.

Yellowbee leapt back she watched her sister try to land a hit she decided to be a good sister and let her have a victory too . She smirked when she saw the paws aiming for her head she rolled to the left out of the way and chuckled
don't worry sis!I'll let you get a victory but your gonna have to step it up
" don't worry I will ! C'mon sis you can do better ! " she meowed and crouched again with a smile she yawned now waiting

Willowfang growled as she tumbled to the ground. Brute strength wasn't going to cut it, especially with her sister. She needed finesse and skill. She slid underneath Yellowbee, aiming to claw at her stomach and trip her paw with her leg. Plans were running through her mind quickly, she didn't want to lose. She decided against giving out warnings when she was about to attack. Cats only did that and found success in stories.

Remember she just the type that don't like to loose she shook her fur and smirked now crouching again she dashed at her sister and lunged at her hoping to tackle her again her claws were still down

Summerkit purred happily at her friend's contagious excitement and suddenly the territory didn't seem so scary if she'd be facing it with Summerkit,
"Yea!!!" Shiverkit yowled in agreement. Shiverkit's ears perked up in interest when she heard the word game and nodded in excitement when she heard the rules, "That sounds fun!" She squeaked bouncing in excitement, "Do I cover my eyes while you hide?" She asked as she crouched down covering her eyes with her tiny paws and looking up waiting for an answer.

Willowfang tumbled to the ground as Yellowbee landed on her, then rolled away and stood up again. You 'aint gonna win this time, Yellowbee. I've got this... She thought as she smiled. It had never occurred to her that she was overconfident, and it sure didn't now. Willowfang swiped at her sister's legs, planning to trip her and hold her down. She tended to have tunnel vision, and didn't know what she would do if it didn't work.

Duskpaw was sitting in the clearing, lazily staring into space. He was supposed to be meeting his older(?) brother around this time and he was starting to get a little impatient. Where is Rowanpaw at? he thought before letting the thought go. It doesn't matter when he gets here, I wasn't doing anything anyways

Cometheart stepped out of the warrior's den, stretching her paws out, she had grown into a fine she-cat, scanning the surroundings, she saw her nephew and made her way over to him. "Hey, Duskpaw." The she-cat purred, walking around him so that they were face to face, she ran her tail over his shoulder and nuzzled him. "Looking for something?" She questionned.

Duskpaw looked up with a tired expression on his face "Hey Cometheart," He said with a small purr. "I was waiting for Rowanpaw but I guess he forgot he was supposed to meet me here." He mewed in response to his aunt's question. He gently pawed at her shoulder, "You waiting on someone too?" He asked curiously.

Cometheart chuckled as she saw the expression on his face, she rolled her eyes at the mention of Rowanpaw. "I saw him hanging out with a she-cat before I went to take a nap, so I guess you're waiting for no reason." She said and shook her head at her nephew's question. "No, I was napping so I decided to come out, and seems it was a good thing I did,
sweetheart." She purred and nuzzled him affectionnaly.

"Well, some toms are like that, look at your father, from what I've heard, he always hung out with Violeteye back then, and some take from their father, but you certainly take from your mother." Cometheart purred and licked his cheek. "So how is my favorite nephew doing huh? Is training going well?" She questionned, her eyes bright with happiness, she didn't often talk to him, but when she did, it did bring her a smile.

"Sorta... I'm getting a new mentor because for some odd reason my old one just disappeared. Holypelt has been training me for a little over a moon now as my temporary mentor." Duskpaw explained with a small yawn. He smiled at her calling him her favorite nephew, he really did enjoy talking to her when he could. "How have you been?" He asked his aunt.

Duskpaw explained with a small yawn. He smiled at her calling him her favorite nephew, he really did enjoy talking to her when he could. "How have you been?" He asked his aunt.

The warrior's ears lowered at what the tom told her about his old mentor dissapearing, just like that. "O-Oh... I didn't know." Cometheart mewed, she thought for a bit and her ears suddently perked. "Well, just know that if you need a full time mentor, I'm there, and I sure won't dissapear." She mewed and pressed her nose against his, a smile covering her maw, she then pulled back. "I've been doing amazing." She purred.

Duskpaw blinked when his nose was touched he touched it with a paw. I'm unsure of how I should feel about that He thought. He never really had his nose randomly touched because he usually tried to claw anyone before they got close enough to do so. He looked at his aunt "That's good," He said. "Doing amazing is always great."

Cometheart actually seemed pretty surprised as she realised what she had done. "You never did let me touch your nose before..." She mewed and wrapped her tail around his back and smiling. "I sometimes feel like I only have one nephew, Rowanpaw is never really with us and he hates Alder because... Well, Alder thinks Rowan is into toms, so he kind of got away from us..." She admitted, her ears lowering a bit. "It is, I guess."
She added.

"Well... Couldn't Rowanpaw just tell our father that he's not into toms? I mean it is pretty simple isn't it?" Duskpaw asked, confused. "And even if he is into toms, who cares? I wouldn't care because it really doesn't matter." He then added "But I'll talk to my father and Rowanpaw and see what I can do."

Cometheart nodded. "He does actually, Alderstripe just doesn't seem to believe that he isn't into toms... I don't know why." She admitted and nuzzled his head. "So, is there anything you'd like to talk about?" She asked softly.

[Liekki]

Yellowbee smirked as she landed on her sister she held her head up
" ya know sis might wanna stay dow-" she meowed and gasped as willowfang rolled away her ears flattened when her sister swiped at her legs and fell down she hissed now baring her teeth eyes narrowed . She slowly felt her anger rising her fur rose a tad bit she looked back at willowfang now baring her teeth a hiss escaping . your in for it now sis!
Willowfang crowed at her small victory. Don't get ahead of yourself, all you've done is escaped. The rest should be a cinch. She snarled and opened her mouth, reaching to grab Yellowbee's tail and pull her back. By now, her overconfidence and glazing over small details had kicked in. "Don't go easy on me!" she shouted, even though she was struggling to keep up with the battle. As she reached to pull her sister's tail, her paws slipped from under her and she fell on the ground. She quickly got up and snarled, leaping into the air once again. This time it better work!

"OH!" Duskpaw exclaimed, his eyes widened "I didn't know that." He said. Why did he never tell me that? He wondered. "I don't really have anything to talk about, nothing's really been going on in my life," the young tom admitted.

Hearing that he was to be Mintpaw's mentor was one of the greatest experiences of Marshjump's life. Not to mention that he was so glad she was an apprentice now, now they could go on all sorts of new adventures! Things were going to be different, but it would be a good different. "Lil' Minty!" He mewed, staying still as she approached him, his tail twitching eagerly and a smile on his maw. This was definitely the start of some new adventures, and new exciting things. Marshjump was already thinking of ways to train his new apprentice, and thinking of the time they could spend together. Laughing, talking as they explored the borders... continuing their play-fights, although this time there would be more training involved... and hunting together. Yes, Marshjump was absolutely thrilled. "This is gonna be great," He purred after a minute, his tail twitching back and forth happily, a smile on his maw as he did so.

@Random Melody (http://warriorcatsonline.com/forums/member.php?u=79)


"This is awesome!" Mintpaw purred enthusiastically. She got a little concerned when he stayed still and went silent, wondering for a second if he was upset. But, no! Marshjump was purring now, and it brought such a bright grin to Mintpaw's face. "Great? This is going to be absolutely amazing! I can't wait." Mintpaw trilled, rearing up slightly to rub her head under his chin before dropping back down onto all fours, her tail whisking excitedly. "So, what do we do first, huh? Or, well, not really first." Mintpaw paused, then suddenly laughed. "You know something? Nothing's really changed at all, except it's more official to everyone else, and, we won't get in trouble for going out in the territory together now." She lowered her voice so noone else would hear before raising it again. "This is... This is amazing."

[wolfie]

The fluffy tom shrugged at her teasing accusation, smirking just the slightest bit as though to say "perhaps." "Hey! I would never ruin a relationship with my flirting!" After he spoke, Ottertail hesitated for a minute, half wondering if he had just insulted himself... but ultimately he passed it off as a good thing and continued speaking. "Besides, you should be flattered!" He smirked at her, turning his head and twisting his body in an attempt to follow her circling pattern around him. Ottertail reached out a paw to bat playfully at her, despite the wide circle she was taking around him. In the process of doing so, he came near to rolling over onto his back... in which case his head would have been fairly close to her. For a moment, anyways, when she passed by it again. The day was getting away from him now; perhaps he should find something useful to do, but for right now, Ottertail was having too good of a time with his friend to throw it all away for the sake of duty.

Unsure of whether he had really believed her at first or if he was playing along, Caliapaw gave him a puzzled glance before he finished speaking. Well, that answered her question - he had obviously thought she was serious, and was taking her words to heart. A satisfied smirk spread over her maw, a purr rumbling in her throat as she thought of things to do now. "Fine by me," She answered, her whiskers twitching a little with amusement. It was funny to see Snowpaw's reaction. Sometimes it was nice, being able to joke around again, out of the earshot of other cats who would be watching her. In these still-early stages, cats were curious as to what type of cat Caliapaw was... they would watch her sometimes, approach her sometimes, and sometimes just talk about her as though she couldn't hear them.

It was normally "poor thing" or "I hope she can do this" talk, but every once in a while she would hear another cat's name involved. That made her angrier... there was no reason to drag anyone into Clan gossip. It was stupid, and Caliapaw had hardly ever participated in that kind of thing. Sometimes there were general things she was curious about - such as the WindClan/ThunderClan drama. She had asked Snowstar about that, but hadn't stayed on the subject for long... she didn't like talking about WindClan. She had no idea who had killed Wheatfur, or if they were even part of the Clans, but she doubted anyone else would have done that. If only she knew whether WindClan had done it for sure or not. If only she had been there. Maybe she could have saved him, maybe she could have done something... but it wasn't going to do any good, dwelling on the past. Thinking about the future was much better, such as what she hoped happened to that other cat.

Caliapaw wasn't good at fighting, having been taken out of warrior training so early, and no longer having Wheatfur to teach her basic protection things... but she had no doubt that if she saw that cat, her fighting skills would increase. Like, by a lot. Just because she would be so angry and frightened and sickeningly sad. All of those emotions would come together to create one huge ball of fire. Caliapaw snapped out of her fantasy when she heard her brother talking, and glanced over at him with a slight frown, her eyes darkening as she did so. "It's pretty cool that you met a cat who looked like that, but if I were you, I wouldn't be calling him scary, or rude, or anything like that." There was a little bit of a light tone to her words, despite how Snowpaw should have known she felt about gossiping.

And, while it wasn't necessarily the vicious, giggling or whispered words that always bothered her, it was still something she didn't care for. "That's great, Snowpaw! Glad you have a friend," Caliapaw mewed with a smile, looking over her brother. Well, the good news was that he wouldn't be lonely if she or the rest of her siblings were busy. Of course, he probably had other friends - she just hadn't met them. And if he wanted to keep those friends, it was better kept that way.

Snowpaw bit into the leaf for no reason at all, recoiling at the bitter taste. His ears flattened, as he put his paw down on it. "Bitter!" He mumbled, he looked back to his sister. To see her amused expression made him chuckle a little at himself. Their were times he would get embarrassed when Snowpaw made a fool out of himself- which was most of the time. However their were times where he just laughed at himself.

He didn't really know what to do when someone talked about him. Sure, the words hurt but he was just known as the loud, dumb, apprentice. Well that was what Snowpaw guessed they thought he was. He wasn't that dumb! Nor was he loud on purpose. However he was afraid of losing them. Losing everyone. Snowpaw hated the idea of losing someone close to him and wouldn't admit it would tear him apart. His emotions were easily toy with. Snowpaw already knew Caliapaw didn't believe in love while he loved the idea. Yet even loving the idea he focused more on training, Snowpaw didn't think he had time for love right now- he isn't interested in anyone, anyway. He always thought a cat had a soulmate but Caliapaw made his beliefs differ, like other cats did also. That was one of the topics he avoided with Caliapaw, not wanting to upset one of his siblings.

"I won't. Actually if you get to know him he really fun! " Snowpaw said, grinning brightly. Well actually he didn't really believe in the warrior code, either. He was still fretting inside his because, well... he didn't want to be like them. His tail flickered back and forth, he didn't tell his parents or siblings about who he hung out with. He wouldn't admit but.. he did somewhat become friends with bullies, `them` as he refers them too. Snowpaw tries to steer away from them but he always get draw in, while he has another group of friends. Their were times he didn't know which were friends or not because they could be using him but.. why would they?

"Mhm!" Snowpaw didn't really know what to reply, his eyes glanced at the Medince den. This was her break, basically. Would it be better for her to do something she actually wanted to do? "Hey, Caliapaw you don't have to talk to me if you don't want too. Trust me, I don't really mind!" He said, he didn't really mind if she left. Not because he didn't want to talk to her but because he wanted her to not force herself to. "I must be boring." Snowpaw admitted, "All I do is train so I don't have much stories to tell." The apprentice was a bit disappointed he hadn't been able to do anything fun, anything to talk about. He wanted to prepare himself before he did anything remotely interesting, while that was out-of-character for him.


Snowpaw had a feeling that most cats would only like you if you had something to offer, yet he knew his family wasn't like that. After all he must be predictable to them.

"OH!" Duskpaw exclaimed, his eyes widened "I didn't know that." He said. Why did he never tell me that? He wondered. "I don't really have anything to talk about, nothing's really been going on in my life," the young tom admitted.


"I don't really know if he's doing that just to tease him or if he actually believe your brother likes toms, considering Rowan hangs out a lot more with she-cats." Cometheart admitted and sat by his side. "Well, if you wanna do something else than just sit around here, tell me, I'm willing to do anything." She purred and licked his cheek.

[Shivers]

Summerkit looked at Shiverkit with a purr. "Of course you have to close your eyes. other wise you will know where to find it." she replied with a chuckle. Summerkit walked to her nest, hiding the leaf under her moss nest. She skipped over to her best friend, sitting down in front of her. "You can go find it now." she meowed with a light purr.

"Okay!" Shiverkit mewed as she covered her eyes before waiting patiently as Summerkit hid the leaf. She listened carefully to her steps to try and figure out where she was walking towards. She heard a slight rustling before Summerkit came back.The sphinx kitten uncovered her blue eyes and scanned the area. She looked towards the direction that she heard her best friend come from and looked for obvious hiding spots. A nest in the area caught her attention, "This seems like a good hiding spot." She said to herself as she padded over to the nest. She poked around before the heard the crunching of the leaf, "Found it!" She said sounding quite proud of herself.

In response to his aunt licking his cheek, Duskpaw pawed at her face with a small purr "Well I don't want to bother Hollypelt right now, so want to go to the training cave? Or maybe out to hunt?" the young tom asked. He hadn't really done anything with his aunt in quite some time and he wanted to spend some time with her, just not by talking.

Ferngaze padded through the clearing looking for a friendly face to chat with, she glared at a few kittypets, before finding a fellow clanmate without a kittypet heritage Atleast...I think.,” You have no kittypet heritage correct?” She asked the molly not bothering introducing herself or doing a normal conversation starter One never can be too sure, That’s the most I’ll say to one with kittypet heritage.

She never neeever liked her tail or fur messed with but other than that it was fine .
Willowfang grunted as her sister leaped on top of her. She slowly began to pull away from her sister's grasp. No way I'm losing this easily! Just... a little bit further... she thought, straining to get away from her sister and regain her upper hand. She clawed at the ground. "Get off me! You're messing with my fur! I just... groomed it!" she said, pausing to catch her breath. She didn't realize that she and her sister were more alike than different. They were both overly-competitive and had a desire to win.

The she-cat purred as she felt her nephew's paw on her muzzle, she shrugged, why did he want to train right now? "Why don't we simply go for a walk and maybe discuss a few things, it's been a while since we've actually even talked, so I thought we could... You know, grow a better bond." Cometheart said.

Yellowbee narrowed her eyes and hissed
" what about my fur!? I take longer to groom it than you " she meowed and got off of her sister she sat down she now groomed her chest fur flattening down any loose pieces of fur. She licked her shoulder fur now as her ears twitched along with her tail " I guess I win two times " she meowed with a smirk then returned to grooming

"Yeah that's fine, are we walking anywhere in particular?" The young tom asked. He had been hoping to get a little extra training in but a walk was fine, after all he didn't spend too much time with his aunt and this was a fair alternative. He got up "Lead the way," he said, waiting for his aunt to get up as well.

"Well... I can't think of anywhere, so I guess wherever our legs will take us," the tuxedo patterned tom said. He followed her out of the clearing and into the territory.
(To the territory!)

Foxkit bounced up to Summerkit "Can I play?" She asked enthusiastically. She was bored and wanted a play mate. Someone who enjoyed playing. Merry Megan

Summerkit watched as Shiverkit found the leaf. "You're very good at this game." meowed Summerkit in excitement. The kit turned around, seeing Foxkit. Summerkit let out a friendly smile. "Sure you can play! What do you say Shiverkit." she meowed in excitement as there was now another cat for the two best friends to play hide the moss ball.

[Mauve]

@Lonestar (for Ember&Bright!)

It was a rather normal and mundane day in the ThunderClan camp. A bored expression appeared on Emberwing's maw and the she-cat let out a sigh as she sat down on the edge of the clearing. The most excitement she'd seen in moons had been the last Gathering battle, and ever since then it had been rather quiet. Aside from the occasional rumblings about the inevitable war between her Clan and WindClan, activity had practically returned to normal. Her days were mostly spent hunting or joining a border patrol. I hope StarClan has something magical planned for me. If not I might die and join them early from pure boredom! the ginger she-cat thought with a chuckle, shaking her head as her whiskers twitched in amusement.

Most of her friends in the Clan were busy training their apprentices, and Emberwing couldn't help but feel a smidge left out. Sure, she was young and definitely did not expect Snowstar to appoint an apprentice to her any time soon, but that didn't stop the aching feeling from settling into her chest. With the battle coming up, warrior training for every ThunderClan apprentice had been doubled to get them ready in time. It must've made her Clanmates feel proud to be contributing to the warrior training of ThunderClan's future warriors. Crestfallen, she glanced down and began to draw circles in the dirt with one paw, letting her mind wander off.

[SuspiciousMindz]

The fluffy tom shrugged at her teasing accusation, smirking just the slightest bit as though to say "perhaps." "Hey! I would never ruin a relationship with my flirting!" After he spoke, Ottertail hesitated for a minute, half wondering if he had just insulted himself... but ultimately he passed it off as a good thing and continued speaking. "Besides, you should be flattered!" He smirked at her, turning his head and twisting his body in an attempt to follow her circling pattern around him. Ottertail reached out a paw to bat playfully at her, despite the wide circle she was taking around him. In the process of doing so, he came near to rolling over onto his back... in which case his head would have been fairly close to her. For a moment, anyways, when she passed by it again. The day was getting away from him now; perhaps he should find something useful to do, but for right now, Ottertail was having too good of a time with his friend to throw it all away for the sake of duty.

Mintberry let out a huff of disagreement towards the toms words. "Never say never, fluff-butt, your flirting could ruin anything! It could make the sky fall for all we know," she replied, her ears flicking a little as she continued to pace around him. However, that stopped when the larger tom was suddenly on his back, his head falling onto the ground near her. Her ears pricked up with an idea and her pale green hues danced with play. Without much thought, the black and white she-cat crouched down and started batting at his ears and whiskers like a kit would, her purr was soft, but loud enough to be present. Mintberry continued this act for a minute more before another idea hit her mind. Without giving him much time to respond, the she-cat tapped his nose with the pad of her paw and started to dart away with a yowl.
"Tag you're it!"

Shiverkit let out a purr at the compliment her best friend paid her, "Thanks!" She said feeling rather proud of herself and bounded back towards her friend will her tail held high. She dropped the leaf and shot Foxkit a friendly smile, "Yea, of course, you can play with us!" She said feeling better and better about her new life in this clan as she made more friends, "The more the merrier!" She mewed purring as she saw the she-kit's excitement, "Since you just joined you can be one of the seekers! I'll hide the leaf now, then Foxkit can hide it, and Summerkit can go again after!" She said making a system so everyone got the chance to hide the leaf, "Sounds good?" She asked her friends.

[Jayie]

Grovepaw stirred in his nest, finding it difficult to find sleep to drift into his eyes. Now, it was unfortunately normal for the slender, beige brown tom to find difficulty in sleeping, but this time he found it was because of the noise in the Apprentice's Den that he found no luck in sleeping. He bared his teeth and scratched the edge of his nest, the combination of his fidgetiness and the chatter irritating him.

"Could you keep it down?" He hissed at the awake apprentices, his demand being general due to his poor eyesight. His nest was at the far end of the den, further away from everyone else, so the distance caused him to fail to discern the culprits of the noise.

(Hey all! I'm new here, could you update me on what's going on in this thread?)


Dark forest green hues lit up as a dark jet black she-cat’s eyes snapped open to the sound of a hiss. The green pools scanned the den before reach the culprit of the snappish attitude. The molly stood up stretching her long legs lanky legs and let out a loud yawn, tiny pink tongue curling up before she snapped her maw shut. She then started making the move to the other apprentices nest.

“Greetings.” Nightpaw mewed before settling beside the tom in the nest beside him. The jet black molly crossed her two black forepaws over each other and then curled her fluffy black tail around her left side.

(To be completely honest, I don’t know.)

[lone]

"This is awesome!" Mintpaw purred enthusiastically. She got a little concerned when he stayed still and went silent, wondering for a second if he was upset. But, no! Marshjump was purring now, and it brought such a bright grin to Mintpaw's face. "Great? This is going to be absolutely amazing! I can't wait." Mintpaw trilled, rearing up slightly to rub her head under his chin before dropping back down onto all fours, her tail whisking excitedly. "So, what do we do first, huh? Or, well, not really first." Mintpaw paused, then suddenly laughed. "You know something? Nothing's really changed at all, except it's more official to everyone else, and, we won't get in trouble for going out in the territory together now." She lowered her voice so noone else would hear before raising it again. "This is... This is amazing."


The tom had to agree with his friend - nothing would change. He was the same old "Marshy" and she was the same "lil' Minty," and they were still best friends. Of course, perhaps he would have to be just a little more responsible... though it would be hard for the tom, Marshjump had always been reckless. He didn't have a reputation or anything, and thankfully he cared enough about Mintpaw to want to make sure she would stay safe. He was excited for the day when she would be a full warrior - but he was getting way ahead of himself now. She had just become an apprentice, after all! A mew of pleasure escaped the tom, and he basically wriggled with excitement at the thought of being able to explore all new places with Mintpaw. "We'll be able to do all sorts of new things now, lil' Minty! We can go to the borders, and... and we can explore so much more, and - of course I'll have to train you, but you're smart, so it'll make my job easy... and I'll be sure to make it fun, of course! We'll have lots of fun!" He put his paw against the smaller cat's back, drawing her towards him in a sort of hug, a purr rumbling in his chest and throat and a goofy smile on his maw. He was so excited. It was impossible for him to think about "looking professional" right now when he was ready to go to new places with Mintpaw. It felt like the two of them were the greatest team there ever had been, and ever would be.

[lone]

Snowpaw bit into the leaf for no reason at all, recoiling at the bitter taste. His ears flattened, as he put his paw down on it. "Bitter!" He mumbled, he looked back to his sister. To see her amused expression made him chuckle a little at himself. Their were times he would get embarrassed when Snowpaw made a fool out of himself- which was most of the time. However their were times where he just laughed at himself.

He didn't really know what to do when someone talked about him. Sure, the words hurt but he was just known as the loud, dumb, apprentice. Well that was what Snowpaw guessed they thought he was. He wasn't that dumb! Nor was he loud on purpose. However he was afraid of losing them. Losing everyone. Snowpaw hated the idea of losing someone close to him and wouldn't admit it would tear him apart. His emotions were easily toy with. Snowpaw already knew Caliapaw didn't believe in love while he loved the idea. Yet even loving the idea he focused more on training, Snowpaw didn't think he had time for love right now- he isn't interested in anyone, anyway. He always thought a cat had a soulmate but Caliapaw made his beliefs differ, like other cats did also. That was one of the topics he avoided with Caliapaw, not wanting to upset one of his siblings.

"I won't. Actually if you get to know him he really fun! " Snowpaw said, grinning brightly. Well actually he didn't really believe in the warrior code, either. He was still fretting inside his because, well... he didn't want to be like them. His tail flickered back and forth, he didn't tell his parents or siblings about who he hung out with. He wouldn't admit but.. he did somewhat become friends with bullies, `them` as he refers them too. Snowpaw tries to steer away from them but he always get draw in, while he has another group of friends. Their were times he didn't know which were friends or not because they could be using him but.. why would they?

"Mhm!" Snowpaw didn't really know what to reply, his eyes glanced at the Medince den. This was her break, basically. Would it be better for her to do something she actually wanted to do? "Hey, Caliapaw you don't have to talk to me if you don't want too. Trust me, I don't really mind!" He said, he didn't really mind if she left. Not because he didn't want to talk to her but because he wanted her to not force herself to. "I must be boring." Snowpaw admitted, "All I do is train so I don't have much stories to tell." The apprentice was a bit disappointed he hadn't been able to do anything fun, anything to talk about. He wanted to prepare himself before he did anything remotely interesting, while that was out-of-character for him.


Snowpaw had a feeling that most cats would only like you if you had something to offer, yet he knew his family wasn't like that. After all he must be predictable to them.

The she cat sighed, her tail twitching back and forth as she watched her brother. She was glad to have some interaction with him - she hadn't talked to her parents, nor either one of her sisters since she had become the medicine cat, but she was pretty sure they were aware of her position. Why they hadn't sought her out yet, she didn't know. It honestly hurt a little bit that they hadn't, not that Caliapaw would admit that; even to herself, she seemed unwilling to say that she was even the slighest bit hurt that she had recieved nothing from them. Oh well - she'd never been all that close with her Mom, and she was well aware that her family was busy, doing their own thing... her Dad was a warrior, and her sisters were apprentices, after all. They would be falling in love eventually. Going on about their daily lives, and soon having mates. Caliapaw had never understood love, because there just didn't seem to be any logic to it.

Especially cats who developed crushes or fell in love within days. How could you see an attractive cat, and decide that they were automatically handpicked for you? It was stupid, was what it was. Then there was long-term love... why should it take so long to realize it, and why would you dance around your feelings like that? Were they even real? Not for the apprentice, and she tended to look on the grimmer side of things, that these cats were just poor and blind and would eventually end up splitting or their so-called "soulmate" would die. Of course, she would do what she could to save them. She was hoping that no one would be giving each other lovey-dovey glances or those loving, sweet compliments in her den, though.

It wasn't that Caliapaw had anything particuarly against love, but not understanding in it - not believing that it could be real, that feelings that powerful could just... develop, she tended to get irritated when she saw cats getting too physical or too sweet with one another. The she cat smiled a little at her brother's words, her tail flicking a little more, even though the smile didn't reach her maw. "Is he? Well you'll have to introduce me sometime then. If he's a friend of yours, I'm bound to meet him sometime." It sounded like she was giving in to something rather then being glad to meet this friend of Snowpaw's, but she was okay with it. Meeting new cats came with the territory of being a medicine cat - you were bound to be acquainted with most cats in the Clan at some point. Caliapaw knew a few right now, she was friends with some of them and just acquaintances with others.

Cats that she truly bonded with, outside of family, were few and far between when you considered how many cats she had run into in her time in ThunderClan. Her thoughts were once again interuppted by Snowpaw's somewhat alarming comment. Caliapaw's ears pricked up and she glanced over at him, her eyes flashing in a surprised manner, looking almost worried as she did so. "What? Why would I want to do that?" The feline asked, the amused, thoughtful twitching of her tail coming to a stop. She was curious to hear his answer. Because she couldn't, for the life of her, think why she would want to leave the tom on her break! "I didn't come over here to hear stories," The she cat scoffed as he spoke again. "I came over here because I wanted to spend time with my brother."

[Tazzy]

Shiverkit let out a purr at the compliment her best friend paid her, "Thanks!" She said feeling rather proud of herself and bounded back towards her friend will her tail held high. She dropped the leaf and shot Foxkit a friendly smile, "Yea, of course, you can play with us!" She said feeling better and better about her new life in this clan as she made more friends, "The more the merrier!" She mewed purring as she saw the she-kit's excitement, "Since you just joined you can be one of the seekers! I'll hide the leaf now, then Foxkit can hide it, and Summerkit can go again after!" She said making a system so everyone got the chance to hide the leaf, "Sounds good?" She asked her friends.

"Yes! I bet I'll find it first" Foxkit squealed. "oooh I can't wait to hide it. This is gonna be fun!" she hopped from paw to paw enthusiastically. She was happy they let her play with them. She kinda thought they would just wanna play between the two of them but decided to ask anyways.

[PeaFlower]

Goldenpaw had gotten out of the apprentice den, shivering slightly as the cold air of the camp hit her by surprise, but keeping a straight face and smiling brightly at the cats that happened to meet her gaze.

She thanked Starclan for granting her with a fur that could prevent her from being frozen to death, and with that thought in mind, she started grooming herself under the few sunrays that managed to pass through the clouds.

As she groomed, she looked at the clouds. Usually she would watch them and daydream until some cat came and pulled her out of her reverie, but today she couldn't discern one cloud from another, it was like the sky was one big cloud by itself.

After pouting a bit at the sky, she went back to grooming her fur until she felt bored with that task. She decided she would rather do what she had gotten out of the den for.

With her tail twitching slightly and her ears perking up, she looked around the camp for any sign of the cat she was looking for. It was a busy day, what with the tensions with WindClan being high, so most cats were out in the clearing, moving about and talking to one another, making it hard to spot anyone in the crowd.

Nonetheless, the young she-cat was determined. She trotted around the clearing, looking for Caliapaw. She had noticed the she-cat would usually take a break and get out of the Medicine den around that time, and knew it'd be the best time to talk to her.

The newest Medicine Cat had recently become one of Goldenpaw's obsessions. She wanted to help Caliapaw, and play with her, maybe even become her friend.
Just the thought of that made her even more cheery and excited than usual. She would love to be friends with a Medicine Cat. And Goldenpaw was sure they could become the best of friends. But for that to happen she had to get her attention somehow ...

"Where is she ... where is she ? ..." The apprentice muttered excitedly as she kept on looking around the camp, her ears flicking slightly, and almost tripping on herself each time she thought she had spotted Caliapaw in the flurry of pelts that was the clearing.

Mintberry let out a huff of disagreement towards the toms words. "Never say never, fluff-butt, your flirting could ruin anything! It could make the sky fall for all we know," she replied, her ears flicking a little as she continued to pace around him. However, that stopped when the larger tom was suddenly on his back, his head falling onto the ground near her. Her ears pricked up with an idea and her pale green hues danced with play. Without much thought, the black and white she-cat crouched down and started batting at his ears and whiskers like a kit would, her purr was soft, but loud enough to be present. Mintberry continued this act for a minute more before another idea hit her mind. Without giving him much time to respond, the she-cat tapped his nose with the pad of her paw and started to dart away with a yowl.
"Tag you're it!"



Casting a skeptical glance towards the sky, the fluffy feline smirked. "Well in that case, guess I really will flirt until the sky falls down." Ottertail mewed, the smirk replaced by a grin as he glanced over at his friend again. He made weak attempts at avoiding her kit-like blows - twisting his head to one side or another, or shifting just a little bit, but since they didn't hurt and he really didn't mind, the majority of the pats met their mark. It took a while for Ottertail to react to her comment, but once he did, he sprang up and was after her with a determined gleam in his green eyes. "Come back here, you coward! You can't just spring that on me!" He mewed, darting after the black and white cat with a friendly gleam in his eyes and a mischievious purr in his throat. If there was anyone watching them, Ottertail was blissfully unaware of it. All he knew right now was the awesome game the two of them were involved in.

[Zero]

Pinkpaw stammered,” You were a coward like me?” She asked shocked that the braver former medicine cat once was scared of the elders, battle training- no medicine cat’s don’t fight so was Zerosight once as an apprentice scared of herbs like she was scared of hurting the prey? Was he scared of healing a cat like she was scared of harming a cat? She had so many questions, but fear was the only thing stopping her, she breathed as she dabbed mousebile on his back,” Were you scared of herbs, like I’m scared of hurting prey?” She stammered,” Did you have a fear of healing cats, like I’m scared of hurting cats?” She gulped Wow. I rarely say that much.

Zerosight listened with a fair amount of amusement, the cold forgotten for the moment even though his body continued to shiver every now and then. "I was a warrior apprentice for a while, but my mentor was harsh on me because of my eyesight and because I was scared of everything. Snowrunner took me under her wing because of it, which I'll forever be grateful for," He meowed, his voice soft as always - that was the one thing that hadn't changed since he was a young kit. "I was less scared of the herbs... and more scared of failing her expectations and my clanmates." His blind gaze remained steady on the wall he was facing, reminiscing for a moment. "You're scared of hurting other cats?" He asked gently, tilting his head to listen more closely.

[Liekki]

Yellowbee narrowed her eyes and hissed
" what about my fur!? I take longer to groom it than you " she meowed and got off of her sister she sat down she now groomed her chest fur flattening down any loose pieces of fur. She licked her shoulder fur now as her ears twitched along with her tail " I guess I win two times " she meowed with a smirk then returned to grooming
Willowfang snarled and replied, "next time I'll win. I'll show you, sis." She got up and brushed herself off and licked her fur. She held her head up high and glared at Yellowbee. Sighing, she said, "sorry for... ya know. That." Willowfang was never very good at apologies, which made sense considering she never considered herself in the wrong. She continued grooming herself, glancing at her sister.

Yellowbee rolled her eyes at her sisters first sentence then she stood up now shaking her fur and flicked her tail " no pain no game sis " she meowed and stretched her mouth opening to let out a long yawn . Her ears twitched and her hazel eyes looked over to willowfang she smirked again
" this place can sure be boring at times" she added her hazel eyes scanned the camp again she only snorted when there was nothing exciting going on

[Random Melody]

A grey pelted warrior was seated in the shade of a small oak tree. He was grooming his pelt, which was dusty and knotted. He had just spent most of the morning hunting and had taken a particularly long time trying to catch a plump rabbit. It hadn't been easy and he had had to sacrifice his neat appearance for it, but he was glad to have caught it. It would definitely be able to feed a few mouths. The rabbit now lay lifeless at the top of the fresh kill pile, waiting for someone to come along and feast on it with perhaps a few other cats.

After tugging free a stubborn knot, he moved on to flatten some fur on his left shoulder, and then he was finished. Stormstrike lowered himself onto the snowy ground and placed one wrist on top of the other. He turned onto his side and rested his chin on top of his paws. He closed his eyes and lay like that for a few minutes. The snow beneath his body was cold, but the sun was nearing the middle of the sky and it beamed, casting a warm glow of sunlight across him. The warrior didn't move for a while, until he suddenly opened his eyes. He was struggling to fall asleep, and he wasn't entirely sure as to why. He was tired from his hunting trip, but it seemed like sleep didn't want to go to him. He let out a sigh before he gazed out across the clearing, searching for something interesting. His turquoise gaze landed on a familiar pelt. Snowstar! He thought, beaming at the sight of his mate. He wanted to get up and run to her, take some time to talk to her as she looked free, but he was quite comfortable where he was, and wasn't ready to move just yet. Perhaps he would wait and see if she would notice him first, then if she didn't, he would get up and run to her before someone else whisked her away. His best friend always seemed busy these days. She was occupied with either looking after their kits, or attending to leadership duties. He himself was considerably busy these days. With leaf-bare here and the snow already falling, he had to work his hardest to contribute as much as possible to the clan. He would visit his kits as much as possible and would share stories when he had some in mind, but he and Snowstar could never seem to be in the same place at the same time. When he was in the nursery, she might be in the leader's den, discussing something important with Passionblaze. Or when she was in the clearing and available for a chat, he might be on a border patrol. Being able to talk to her again would be great.


Snowstar let her gaze roam for a while longer before she finally caught sight of the gray-pelted warrior. He seemed to notice her as well, because he was beaming at her. The leader stretched before heading over to him, her black tail high in the air, flicking back and forth gently. "Stormy!" She cheered, lowering her muzzle slightly toward the ground to press her nose to the white flakes she was named after, but only for a second before she padded closer to Stormstrike. "It's cold." She mewed, and then, as if to show him, she pressed her freezing nose lightly to his cheek before whisking it away again, giggling before settling down beside her mate. Her best friend. She'd been neglecting him lately and she knew that wasn't fair, so it was nice to spend some time with her while she was finally free. "Hi." She said simply, her ice blue eyes just shining with affection as her gaze met Stormstrike's.

What she felt for the Tom just didn't come to her naturally in words. She couldn't describe it, the way her heart jumped and seemed to twist and warm and how safe and loved and happy she felt around him. For some reason she just couldn't. Even that small description wouldn't be enough - Words just weren't enough. But that was okay, because she showed him. Like right now, the look in her eyes, the way she brushed her tail tip against his, the way she smiled and giggled and the soft, loving tone in her voice, all of that was showing Stormstrike just how much she absolutely adored him. As a lover, and as a best friend.

[Random Melody]

The tom had to agree with his friend - nothing would change. He was the same old "Marshy" and she was the same "lil' Minty," and they were still best friends. Of course, perhaps he would have to be just a little more responsible... though it would be hard for the tom, Marshjump had always been reckless. He didn't have a reputation or anything, and thankfully he cared enough about Mintpaw to want to make sure she would stay safe. He was excited for the day when she would be a full warrior - but he was getting way ahead of himself now. She had just become an apprentice, after all! A mew of pleasure escaped the tom, and he basically wriggled with excitement at the thought of being able to explore all new places with Mintpaw. "We'll be able to do all sorts of new things now, lil' Minty! We can go to the borders, and... and we can explore so much more, and - of course I'll have to train you, but you're smart, so it'll make my job easy... and I'll be sure to make it fun, of course! We'll have lots of fun!" He put his paw against the smaller cat's back, drawing her towards him in a sort of hug, a purr rumbling in his chest and throat and a goofy smile on his maw. He was so excited. It was impossible for him to think about "looking professional" right now when he was ready to go to new places with Mintpaw. It felt like the two of them were the greatest team there ever had been, and ever would be.


Mintpaw giggled at his words, grinning with excitement. And when he wrapped his paw around her and pulled her close in a hug, she snuggled closer into his chest and pushed her nose into his fur, inhaling his familiar scent. She did that often, not really sure why. He smelled good to her. Unable to explain it, even to herself, she gave up and smirked up at him. "Of course we'll have fun!" She said enthusiastically, lifting her muzzle and rubbing her head against his chest before pressing his nose to his chin. She was purring as well, not as loud, but loud enough. She liked the affection he seemed to be showing her. It made her feel... Good. Warm. Safe. Loved. Happy. Heck, the words weren't even enough of an explanation for how she felt, but she didn't need to explain it. She showed it in her smile, her giggles, her affectionate gestures, so that was okay. "Training will be so easy. And then soon we'll be warriors together." She smirked, eyes gleaming brightly. "Won't that be fun? We'll be so unstoppable."

Zerosight listened with a fair amount of amusement, the cold forgotten for the moment even though his body continued to shiver every now and then. "I was a warrior apprentice for a while, but my mentor was harsh on me because of my eyesight and because I was scared of everything.

"You're scared of hurting other cats?" He asked gently, tilting his head to listen more closely.
Pinkpaw realized it was more of a normal fear, less of a rediculous one likes hers which amazed her,” Yeah...” she stammered,” I’m scared that I’ll have to fight in the battle with Windclan, even though Windclan’s our enemy, they still are cats. Yes I won’t kill them, but if I wound them, they could die of infection. And battle training, my mentor grunts when he hits the ground, I hate knowing they feel pain. I hate hurting emotions causing emotional pain, like pushing away a cat that likes me that I don’t like. Maybe some cats are right that I should go back to where I came from...the twoleg place.” She muttered as she wasn’t proud to be a former kittypet, but she hated the twoleg place even though she acted like kittypet.

"For once you're right," Willowfang commented. She smiled as she heard her own voice in her head, making jabs at her sister without even trying to hide it. She rolled onto her back, staring at the blue sky. She remembered how she had gotten her name: Willow was given to her because she was bendy with a willowy figure, Fang was given to her because her words always bite. She sighed and looked over to her sister. "What now?"

[lone]

Goldenpaw had gotten out of the apprentice den, shivering slightly as the cold air of the camp hit her by surprise, but keeping a straight face and smiling brightly at the cats that happened to meet her gaze.

She thanked Starclan for granting her with a fur that could prevent her from being frozen to death, and with that thought in mind, she started grooming herself under the few sunrays that managed to pass through the clouds.

Nonetheless, the young she-cat was determined. She trotted around the clearing, looking for Caliapaw. She had noticed the she-cat would usually take a break and get out of the Medicine den around that time, and knew it'd be the best time to talk to her.

The newest Medicine Cat had recently become one of Goldenpaw's obsessions. She wanted to help Caliapaw, and play with her, maybe even become her friend.
Just the thought of that made her even more cheery and excited than usual. She would love to be friends with a Medicine Cat. And Goldenpaw was sure they could become the best of friends. But for that to happen she had to get her attention somehow ...

(Hope this is good enough for a starter ?)
Having cleaned the medicine cat's den some, the young feline was looking forwards to a break. Normally she would be happy to work for as long as possible, but she wasn't having the best day. And she needed more herbs, but since it was leaf-bare, it was nearly impossible to get those herbs. "This is just fantastic," She muttered to herself as she stalked toward the fresh-kill pile. Caliapaw had promised Snowpaw that she would try and eat something, and while she still wasn't very hungry, she figured it wouldn't hurt to try and grab something. But as she was approaching, she saw a familiar, eager face sticking out from the rest of the Clan cats. The medicine cat froze, her muscles tensing and her body automatically crouching lower to the ground as she silently pleaded to StarClan not to be seen by Goldenpaw.

The younger apprentice was an admirer of sorts, cheerful and spunky and the type of cat who just seemed to have her life more together. Caliapaw wasn't jealous, per se, it was Goldenpaw's suffocating presence that made her frustrated and made her wish that the young apprentice would go through just one tough time so that she could see how hard life really was. It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows, and Goldenpaw would learn that eventually, but the she cat had learned it earlier then most. Even this job, this duty, was harder then she had expected. She'd watched a cat die, and she got the sinking feeling that there were more cats to come. More deaths, more losses, and she wanted to yowl her frustration to StarClan - except they didn't seem to be listening to her recently. She wished Wheatfur would visit her, even just once, in her dreams so that she could speak with him. She missed her mentor a lot.

Standing there in the clearing, with her muscles tensed and wondering if Goldenpaw was about to spot her and give a happy squeal before coming towards her, Caliapaw's thoughts turned off the subject of anything else but her struggle to hide. Pleasepleaseplease don't notice me... the medicine cat thought, squeezing her eyes shut as she struggled to close out the bustling of the clearing. There wasn't really a way for her to use that to her advantage at the moment, so she was going to have to work with what she had. If Goldenpaw wouldn't notice her, then all would be well.





The fluffy figure entered the clearing, followed by Crescentmoon and her two kits. It wasn't quite the dramatic entrance he had hoped for - wherever the rest of her friends and family were, they weren't here. What a painful return this must be for the silver cat, knowing that Northpath was dead - Ottertail was determined to help her however he could. "It's changed some, with a new leader and all... new warriors and such, but other then that..." He looked around the clearing. It was different, sure, probably unfamiliar for Crescentmoon, but he would soon have her settled in the nursery with her kits. Perhaps if she wasn't originally a member of ThunderClan he would feel more uneasy with having her settled there, but this was different - this was her home she was returning to. Surely Snowstar, a Mother herself, would understand that.

The tom glanced around the clearing once again before he flicked his tail to tell them to follow. If anyone asked, if anyone didn't recognize her, Ottertail already had a pretty quick explanation in mind. They would speak with Snowstar later, or perhaps not, it would all depend on what was going on. "If you want to follow me to the nursery, we can get you settled in. I'm sure you and your kits are tired..." His voice trailed off as he doubtfully looked down at the smaller cats. How long had it been since they had eaten, and were they getting enough food? They looked old enough to be eating solids at this point, but there was no way of being completely sure. He'd talk to Crescentmoon more about that later when she wasn't as tired. "Let me know if you need any other help, okay?" He added in a softer voice, moving closer to the silvery cat so that only she would hear the murmured words. Of course he knew she wasn't helpless.

She could take care of herself, she was a tough Mother - and her kits must be tough, having come all this way, but at the same time it was a shock about the changes that had happened. Ottertail hoped she still felt at home. They had been fairly close when she had left, and now that she was back, he didn't want her to leave again. But with tensions brewing between ThunderClan and WindClan, he wondered if she was going to be able to handle another battle right after returning.

[Cosmo]

How stunned the she cat was only showed for an instant, her mouth working to try to find the words, before she masked this true surprise under fake surprise. Under a fake mask, she instantly became more confident. "Vixenkit? I think you're mixed up, Quietpaw. Vixenkit is my sister's name. I'm Oriolekit - don't you remember?" Whoever had told Quietpaw her real name was going to pay for this. She would see to it that they never got the chance to say her name again. She would ruin their social lives, tease them mercilessly, run them down under a back-breaking load of accusations. Some would be true, some false. Either way, when it came to things like this, Vixenkit was a cat to be feared. She had never had a true friend in her life. She had never experienced heartbreak in her life. She simply had been born to a Mother who surrounded her with things like this, and so she had grown up in a way that would make her believe it was normal to act this way.

However, from the way Quietpaw looked, he wasn't too pleased that she had lied about her identity before, when they had met. How to get his trust back? That was a mystery the she cat was still working on solving. Right now she was completely tongue-tied, trying to worm her way out of something that she should have never gotten caught in. She should have been free from things like this! She should've been able to easily worm her way out of something like this, except she was at a loss for words when it came to an excuse. "Congratulations on the apprenticeship, by the way. It's quite the accomplishment, becoming an apprentice, isn't it? And - you know, who's your mentor? I don't believe I was present at your ceremony." This wasn't a lie - Vixenkit had watched from a distance, and had missed a great deal of it altogether, so she was pretty sure that she was free to say that. Besides, Quietpaw would have no way of knowing whether it was a lie or not.

She was a born liar, this was something that she was quite skilled at and, sadly, prided herself on being skilled at. It was almost like she felt she had been born to lie. Vixenkit was quite certain that lying was one of the only things she would ever be good at. Right now, she wasn't good at making friends when she was being herself. Hiding behind the mask of posing as her sibling Oriolekit, it was perfect. Of course, Vixenkit was pretty sure her masquerade would have to end when her apprentice ceremony commenced. She would be known as Vixenpaw then, and having never heard Oriolekit's name (nobody ever would hear that name at an apprentice ceremony, because Oriolekit had disappeared leaving behind a distraught Beetlekit and an indifferent Vixenkit) she would never be able to masquerade as Oriolepaw.

Perhaps there was a new name she could make up for herself, but it would take some convincing and it would be hard. At least she wouldn't go under her real name. The name that she didn't want to go under. She could change it, but then she still wouldn't be someone else. That would become her real name and everyone would know it. What a shame Vixenkit couldn't just... become Oriolekit. They would never approve of that, but since they were gone, it really didn't matter. Did it?


Quietpaw thought that someone lying even once in their lives were terrible, unless it saved lives. Vixenkit had lied to him twice and he assumed a bunch of other cats before him, and after as well. He wasn't exactly sure how many cats she had lied to but she was pretty sure it was about the whole clan. Cats that lied more than once were disgusting, terrible and unbelievably annoying. They had no heart and just lied and lied and lied and lied. Vixenkit was one of them."Look Vixenkit, I know what your real name is, and you can't get out of that with a lie." He was trying to stay calm, trying to not make any aggressive noises, like hissing or growling, but his words came out dark and unfriendly. His feelings towards her, perfectly expressed. Never again would he trust anything she said, she didn't tell the truth, she didn't care, she didn't think, and mostly she didn't understand. Quietpaw knew of real problems in the world, and lies were one of the things that could cause them.

He supposed the anger he felt towards her was mainly from the fact he felt betrayed. Quietpaw didn't have many friends, and he had always wanted a friend. He had honestly believed that Vixenkit could be his friend, but when he discovered she lied, all ideas of having a friend were demolished. His small kit heart had shattered, and it had made him tougher. Now he was hard to get to know, and hard to find. He stayed away from other cats his age. He believed that if he tried to find a friend like he had done with Vixenkit, they would just hurt him even more. He still wanted a friend, but what if they weren't all they were cracked up to be.

Quietpaw snorted while Vixenkit talked, she was trying to get his trust back. But she wouldn't get it. Never. Part of him wanted to be nice, and keep the conversation going, but if he did that he knew he would just end up even more hurt than he had been before. Quietpaw was a very sensitive cat, Vixenkit obviously was not. She didn't understand anything. All she did was lie. He didn't trust anymore. It was too hard. Too stressful. And it shattered your heart into so many pieces that you couldn't fit them all back together. She couldn't get his trust back, she didn't have the strength to apologize. She probably didn't even know how. But he knew that causing more problems himself would be a terrible thing, so telling her the truth about who his mentor was wouldn't do any harm. Not much anyway. "Ryepelt's my mentor." He answered honestly taking a sharp in take of breath at the thought of the strict tom. But at least he didn't lie to Quietpaw.

[Starfall]

Messing up was a part of life; the she cat knew that. But the problem was, most cats her age weren't messing up so severely. They would miss a piece of prey and maybe some cat in the Clan would go hungry that day, or they would slip up during a battle and end up in the medicine cat's den for a little while. But they normally didn't make fatal mistakes. Caliapaw hadn't expected to lose a patient so soon. She was the odd one out here... and no one else in the Clan could understand that. She had a family, friends, cats that she cared for and who cared for her, but they had their own lives. There was no one in her life that could put her above their own needs. That was what Caliapaw wanted... as strange as it seemed, that was a secret hope of hers. That one day she would have someone like that. Doepaw was the closest to a true best-friend sibling bond she had ever had, but she'd always had her two brothers and her two sisters. Two toms - two she cats. And Caliapaw was the odd one there, being the third she cat in the litter, and with toms... well, they had each other. So she was tagging along with one group or another growing up. Even now she was different, but it was in another way.

She would never be like her siblings now. She wouldn't be able to fully understand their struggles being warriors, just as they would never be able to fully understand her struggles as a medicine cat. And it hurt that this responsibility was hers and hers alone to bear. It was hard that this responsibility was hers. Eventually she would have a different kind of responsibility, but not for a long while. "I know, but Doepaw... if I make a mistake, someone ends up more hurt then they would have been, or they die. I don't have room to go back and try again, I don't get a do-over... if I make a mistake, that's it." She wanted to cry. Except Caliapaw didn't cry. She had put enough walls up recently to keep her from showing that type of raw emotion, but it seemed her brother had found some chips in these walls. Chips that she was desperately trying to repair even as they spoke, but it would never work. She couldn't be as strong as she wanted as long as there were cracks in her armor; as long as there were breaks in her walls. Her brother's comment made her smile just the slightest bit. She liked that; leaning on each other.

"Okay..." Caliapaw was still uncertain that this was the right thing, but she had to believe that it would be okay eventually. Someday, somehow, she would fix things. His next comment made her laugh a little, a slight sob sneaking out through her laugh, and stopping just as abruptly. No. She wasn't going to cry, not now. Maybe when she could be alone again she would be able to have her own thoughts. She would figure out how to deal with this on her own, or she would open up eventually, just as soon as she thought she could get herself under control. She needed to take care of her patients and deal with it herself first before she could tell someone else. Had Wheatfur still been alive, perhaps she would have spoken to him. "I don't know. All I know is I didn't think before I chose this... and I didn't think I'd be alone again so soon." She didn't even have her old mentor to go to, because she didn't trust him as much.

Bearstrike was nice, and great, and all that... but it just wasn't the same. Wheatfur had probably been the first cat that had chosen her first. Above training, above a friend, above everything else, he had chosen her first. And now he was gone. That type of thing just wasn't forgotten. And with Wheatfur gone, it was harder to think about moving on, more so then ever. Not that she was saying her family hadn't been there for her - they had. But it was different, somehow, because he'd seen something in her - something new. Something that she hadn't seen in herself. And whatever it was, he had acted on it. Which made her feel wanted, and special, or it had for just that brief instant before he was gone from her life.

The tom folded his ears against his skull and pouted. He found it hard to convince his sister most of the time, especially when he was trying to tell her that she was more than what she thought she was, that she was more than just another molly in camp, she was his sister. No one could be more in tune and completely wrong about his emotions as his siblings, that's the way family worked, wasn't it? Each family member could practically sense the other's emotions, their sadness, their happiness, and most of the time they knew exactly what to say. "C'mon Calia...speak to me, tell me what's going on in that big brain of yours. " he said softly, scooting closer to his sibling. She had always second guessed herself, she had always given herself the short end of the stick, she had little self confidence and honestly, he felt as though it was his duty as her brother to fix that. But of course, duty felt as though he was being forced to help her, no, he happily set aside his time for her, he happily tried his hardest to make her smile, help her come out of her bubble inch by inch. He knew she felt as though she didn't belong within their family, how could he not notice? But, for him, it wasn't that she was different, it was that she was special, him and Caliapaw could connect on a level most siblings could not, and he treasured that. She was his #1, his go to buddy, his flower skipping, river romping, tree tripping pal, and he loved every single moment he spent with her. It hurt him, so, so very much to see his sister like this, and he would be lying if he said he didn't want to take each and every ounce of her pain for himself, just so he could see her smile, even if just for a second.

Doepaw shook his head and gave her a soft smile, his lashes covering half his dark blue hues " Cali, only the lucky and the damned get do-overs." he stated, "We weren't meant to have do-overs, we were meant to live life with each and every mistake, each and every triumph, and each and every fear, so that we can live them, and then, so we can teach those younger than us, just how to deal with everything they will ever experience." he said, holing his gaze for a second more before he looked down and played with a blade of grass, a soft smile still barely visible. He didn't really have a way with words, he found it hard to speak his mind, but, whenever he was with his sister, he couldn't stop the flow of support and help that spilled out of his mouth, his very being was so used to helping her, so happy to be apart of her world that there was no stop button when he was cheering up his sister, or when they were playing together, adventuring together, worried together, everything. The caramel colored feline believed in fate, he believed that Starclan had a particular path laid out for each and every feline, and only the truly special would walk off that path and make their own. Doepaw felt as though Caliapaw was one of those cats. The spotted tom gave his sisters cheek a lick, as if cleaning off those uncried tears, and gave an airy chuckle. "Maybe you weren't supposed to save your first patient, maybe you were supposed to be broken, supposed to cry, to worry, to ache...but I think Starclan put you through that so that when you build yourself back up, you'll be 5x stronger than last time...that's why we all go through hardships after all." he hummed as he went back to playing with the single blade of grass. He didn't know what he was spouting, but somehow, someway, he hoped that it would brighten her world, even if it added just one more star to her night sky. He would continue to add little specks of light to her world until it became a beautiful day, instead of a dark night.

As she spoke once again, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. What she said hurt, it hurt horribly. Alone, although he had been by her side the whole time, throughout everything, her apprenticeship, Wheatfur's death, he even walked to the end of Thunderclan territory when she went to have her Medicine Cat ceremony. The tom's face scrunched up in pain and he looked away from the cream feline, he couldn't find the words, his soul had cracked, did she not think of him as helpful, though he had poured so much of his spirit into her, so much of his own light? After a few seconds of thinking to himself he shook his head and chuckled at himself. It's not about him, it was never about him, it was always for his sister, for Caliapaw's happiness, since the moment she was born he wanted her to be nothing but happy and safe, and he planned on doing everything he could to keep her that way, he would throw away each and every emotion he could if it would make her laugh or smile.
"Caliapaw, when have you ever been alone?"

The small tom padded into the medicine cat den, his ears flat against his skull, his blue hues flickered with unease. This den hadn't brought good memories, this is where he found out his mother didn't love him, and this is where the only family member who cared for him lived, and now he's dead. Honestly the only reason he was in here now was because another queen pushed him in here after he had cut his arm.

Stonekit looked around and twitched his whiskers "Hello? I've got a cut on y shoulder....it stings a little and I want to get out of here as soon as possible." he called out, his little voice wavered slightly as he tried to suppress the overwhelming sadness that washed over him. Anytime he came near this den, he felt a twinge of sadness, but now that he was in the den, it was overwhelming, he began to tear up, but quickly blinked away the tears as he saw a figure approaching. He didn't want them to see how sad he truly was, how angry and confused he was. He had to be strong, or else he'll be swept away.

Tgwtgfan
Peachrain was the tabby's name, she was only 45 moons she had three living kits, Orchardblossom, Lightningpaw, and her adoptive son Bingo. Though she had a deceased daughter named Bluekit. She missed Bluekit dearly, but socializing was the easiest way to keep her mind off Bluekit. It had been twenty moons since Bluekit's death she still grieved it.

[lio]

The longer the younger warrior spoke, the more the elder had to struggle to keep his stony expression up. The tom had some walls up, but there were also cracks in these walls; for example, the way that he was almost smiling at Powdernose's words. They were funny to him, making him want to be open and laugh and joke around, but at the same time... his reputation was what was keeping them up. Stonegazer had a reputation in the Clan for taking no-nonsense, for being a stern-faced tom, and he liked that reputation. He was always on guard. He wasn't distrusting, on the contrary, he would trust his clanmates with his life. But he was introverted, and that meant sometimes staying away from his clanmates when he had the chance. Stonegazer's stoic armor, like all things, had weaknesses and cracks and chips.

It was just a matter of finding the right cat to take those things and pull them apart. "That's ridiculous. I don't make jokes, just as none of those things will ever happen." Clearing his throat, and feeling a slight flush rising, his heartbeat quickening just the slightest bit (he was quite embarrassed, but too stubborn to admit it) Stonegazer avoided eye contact and instead looked down at the ground like he could drill a hole in it through the power of eyesight alone. But, his ears pricked back up and he fixed Powdernose with that icy gaze once again at the mention of a "lazy day." What was this? He couldn't remember the last tie he had just relaxed, without worrying... even now, talking with Powdernose, part of his mind was on the inevitable battle that would come.

He should be talking with the younger warriors, making sure they were ready, patrolling the borders, doing something useful instead. Not sitting here and talking with another cat. "Perhaps after the battle." Stonegazer was about to get to his paws, that familiar coldness returning and basically sweeping him up with it's icy power, before he stopped and looked once more at the tom he already considered a... nice cat. An acquaintance. Not a friend, not yet. "Actually, maybe I will take you up on your offer. You do understand, however, at the first sign of trouble that I will be up and gone in an instant?" He asked, his tail twitching lightly as he stayed in the half-raised position. He wasn't quite sitting, wasn't quite standing - it was that awkward in-between position that made things so uncomfortable normally.


♡ ahh sorry this is so late !! ♡

powdernose perked up at stonegazer's reply, his mood visibly changing. "of course! i perfectly understand," he dipped his head, as if he were thanking the tom, and leaped to his paws. truthfully, he couldn't wait to show stonegazer the path into his world. a glimpse through the eyes of a lazy cat. chirping, powdernose trotted in a circle around the silver feline, sending all prayers to whatever lies after death that nothing would go wrong. he finally had a chance to talk to his idol, and to spend an entire day with him. why would he want that to be ruined?
after many heartbeats, powdernose settled down and thought. albeit having a sudden burst if energy, he had to calm down in order to allow the experience to seem real. at least, for him. he would make stonegazer feel more relaxed than he had ever felt before. and, if everything went well, maybe they could do it again in the future, after all the tension has settled down enough to not be worrying about an ambush at every turn. right now, his job was to make stonegazer allow his stoney walls to fall, even if for just a short while.
if powdernose was anything besides lazy, he was determined.
everyone deserved a little happiness, right? it wasn't healthy to stay cautious all the time. it helped the clan to stay safe, yes, but too much worrying can cause terrible trouble on the mind in the future. so, stonegazer will relax, if it's the last thing powdernose does.
his tail swished up to curl over his back, the fur waving everywhere. the siamese purred quietly before signalling to stonegazer with a flick of his ear, as if saying follow me. powdernose padded over to the shade of a tree after grabbing a small piece of prey.
"first things first, we need to eat. we have a long day ahead of us. the true prize will be at night, so we need a way to spend the time. take this as a way to see into the life of a lazy cat," be snickered before going on. "after eating, we will go on a walk to my favorite place to sleep. i'll leave the rest for when we get there." powdernose nodded towards stonegazer before dipping his head and taking a bite, trying to be as neat as possible while he chewed. with a quick paw, the powdery feline prodded the prey towards his new companion, a warm smile on his face.

GoldenEyes sat down in the shadows, gazing around camp while eating a mouse. He got up and looked about before trotting out of camp,secretively.

The she cat sighed, her tail twitching back and forth as she watched her brother. She was glad to have some interaction with him - she hadn't talked to her parents, nor either one of her sisters since she had become the medicine cat, but she was pretty sure they were aware of her position. Why they hadn't sought her out yet, she didn't know. It honestly hurt a little bit that they hadn't, not that Caliapaw would admit that; even to herself, she seemed unwilling to say that she was even the slighest bit hurt that she had recieved nothing from them. Oh well - she'd never been all that close with her Mom, and she was well aware that her family was busy, doing their own thing... her Dad was a warrior, and her sisters were apprentices, after all. They would be falling in love eventually. Going on about their daily lives, and soon having mates. Caliapaw had never understood love, because there just didn't seem to be any logic to it.

Especially cats who developed crushes or fell in love within days. How could you see an attractive cat, and decide that they were automatically handpicked for you? It was stupid, was what it was. Then there was long-term love... why should it take so long to realize it, and why would you dance around your feelings like that? Were they even real? Not for the apprentice, and she tended to look on the grimmer side of things, that these cats were just poor and blind and would eventually end up splitting or their so-called "soulmate" would die. Of course, she would do what she could to save them. She was hoping that no one would be giving each other lovey-dovey glances or those loving, sweet compliments in her den, though.

It wasn't that Caliapaw had anything particuarly against love, but not understanding in it - not believing that it could be real, that feelings that powerful could just... develop, she tended to get irritated when she saw cats getting too physical or too sweet with one another. The she cat smiled a little at her brother's words, her tail flicking a little more, even though the smile didn't reach her maw. "Is he? Well you'll have to introduce me sometime then. If he's a friend of yours, I'm bound to meet him sometime." It sounded like she was giving in to something rather then being glad to meet this friend of Snowpaw's, but she was okay with it. Meeting new cats came with the territory of being a medicine cat - you were bound to be acquainted with most cats in the Clan at some point. Caliapaw knew a few right now, she was friends with some of them and just acquaintances with others.

Cats that she truly bonded with, outside of family, were few and far between when you considered how many cats she had run into in her time in ThunderClan. Her thoughts were once again interuppted by Snowpaw's somewhat alarming comment. Caliapaw's ears pricked up and she glanced over at him, her eyes flashing in a surprised manner, looking almost worried as she did so. "What? Why would I want to do that?" The feline asked, the amused, thoughtful twitching of her tail coming to a stop. She was curious to hear his answer. Because she couldn't, for the life of her, think why she would want to leave the tom on her break! "I didn't come over here to hear stories," The she cat scoffed as he spoke again. "I came over here because I wanted to spend time with my brother."

"I'll make sure to. " Snowpaw said, praying to Starclan the apprentice if, they did meet his sister didn't say anything offensive. He doubted a little that they would get along. He didn't say that however. The white furred remember the actually really scary encounter. Not the speaking or how he looked; what he did. Wolfpaw actually studied him. He shook his head a little, it send shivers up his spine. Snowpaw wasn't exactly used to someone studying him. "Don't ya wonder what life would be if we didn't have the clans or they weren't form?" His eyes widened at the thought. "Would.. would we even be alive?" Snowpaw exclaimed, his voice was hushed. Like if anyone heard it, it would happen. "Would Starclan be real, wait no.. it wouldn't.. Then where would the cats go?" The apprentice looked like he was having a mental crisis. His paws covered his maw, he looked at the ground. Thinking deeply in thought.

Something about Snowpaw, he usually overthought thinks. The question had been on his mind but he never actually thought about it. Their were times he even stay in the apprentice did for two or one day to think about it. Which he ended up getting dragged out by either a meeting, his mentor, or friends/family. Snowpaw wasn't that complicated to figure out even if his thoughts were. He was easy to read with simple movements. Usually when he looks away from you it is he embarrassed or in thought. While in thought he won't fidget while if he is embarrassed he would. One of his biggest weakness if that Snowpaw is easily to predict in battle. While what he will say is different. Truefully no one knows what he will say next, confusing.

Snowpaw randomly stood up, stretching his body before laying back down. "Sorry, just.. stretching." He chuckled before looking back into her eyes. He always found that it was hard because to him; eyes reveal everything. "Well.. I'm just kind of boring?" He was taken aback she didn't just say `okay` and leave. "Plus this is your break and all.. I don't wanna ruin it." His looked guilty, because to him he was. Snowpaw eyes seem to brighten, a small purr escape his mouth. "Really?" He said, a large smile grew on his face rather quickly. "Aw.. your just a softie, aren't you?" Snowpaw teased a little. "Alright! I'll make up a story!" He said. Nodding his head, confident.

"Well.. " He thought for a moment. "Aha!" Snowpaw said, brightening up rather quickly. "The apprentice ran across the forest, their paws bounded across the forest floor. The sounds of rustling and the feeling of eyes watching them burned into her pelt. It didn't stop her! Her eyes focused on the rabbit before her. It carried a herb.. er.. a special herb from Starclan! The apprentice was tiring quickly but she couldn't let the clan down! The apprentice wasn't special; they had no powers, they were.. them. They didn't train to be a Medince cat or a warrior. She had no training one bit but herself. She felt like a thousand cats ran with her, hearing the cheering of the voices! Chanting her on. She made the finale move, her claws suessfully caught the rabbit. Giving it a swift killing bite. A simple apprentice saved the clan.. by catching a rabbit who stole a special herb." Snowpaw finished the story, a bit proud of the made up one which he almost never did.

Crimsonpaw trotted near Peachtrain. "I couldn't begin to imagine your pain. But know that you have support from everyone in the clan."
She glanced at Crimsonpaw," Interesting way to start a conversation young Crimson." she wondered who told the young apprentice about her grieving for Bluekit," How do did you learn of my grieving. Did Bingo tell you? Maybe Orchardblossom?" she mused then sighed, Orchardblossom was a living memory of her deceased sister Lilacblossom. she smiled," Nice thought, but no one supports me because I took a mate once in the Dusk Syndicate and abandoned the clan for two moons." she meowed shaking her head to clear the image of her former mate, Ice. She saw him at the battle, she killed him. She wasn't too happy about it, but he was demanding to take Orchardblossom home to the Dusk Syndicate.

Peachrain smiled," I thought it was bad I didn't have a mate, I'm sure you've crushed on a she-cat before. I crushed on the trespassing Syndicate tom and before long, I couldn't bear to only see him ocassionally in secret, until he turned on me and I returned here. His name was Ice. He forced me to attack my sister to prove my worth to him." she meowed glancing off in the distance.

"If it's any consolation, I have stories about mistakes that I've made while in love too. And they're doozies." Crimsonpaw replied in an acerbic tone.

[Mango]

"If it's any consolation, I have stories about mistakes that I've made while in love too. And they're doozies." Crimsonpaw replied in an acerbic tone.
She smiled," Let me guess a cat in another clan?" she asked It better not be just them not liking him back.

[Tgwtgfan]

She smiled," Let me guess a cat in another clan?" she asked It better not be just them not liking him back.

Crimsonpaw nodded. "Her name was Ravenfur." He began. "Her mother was the apex hunter from Shadowclan.....and also my father's former clanmate."

[Mango]

Crimsonpaw nodded. "Her name was Ravenfur." He began. "Her mother was the apex hunter from Shadowclan.....and also my father's former clanmate."
She paused Ahh...from Shadowclan...you only know half my story. You don't know about the kittypet killing my sister, or my hatred for kittypets, or how I took a mate who I hardly cared for, or that I'm currently seeing a loner for a mate. Or about Ice and the battle with the Syndicate. Heck- Crimson doesn't know about my daughter's kin.

"Oh, it gets better." Crimsonpaw continued. "My father, was less then pleased about my infatuation with the daughter of the cat who tried to 'rip him away from his family and his kits' as he put it."

"I defended Ravenfur, arguing that she shouldn't have been judged by the sins of her mother. I told him that I'd prove it by professing my love for her that night and asking her to be my clanmate. I argued with my father and we briefly came to blows before I stormed off and met with her on the Cliffside near the shore." Crimsonpaw then added "And this is where it gets crazy...."

She nodded He doesn't know a normal relationship with a cat outside the clan when a parent gets involved. That's normal.," Huh. Go on. It seems like most relationship outside the clan once a parent gets involved.

"So we met at the cliff where I was suppose to profess my love to her, but father's story continued to linger in my mind. Crimsonpaw paused. "I (impulsively) told her that I knew the truth about what happened in the past...and She started to cry."

"She confessed that she had been using me to get into Thunderclan as a mole and that I was her way in."

Okapi
.......

[Jayie]

Timberpaw sat in the clearing, the young tom gazing around as he did so. His dark eyes were watching the other cats, his tail twitching back and forth in the dust as he did so. Timberpaw yawned, stretching out lazily for a moment as he did so. He didn't feel like doing much of anything that morning...after all, there wasn't much to do. The young tom licked his maw, straightening up with his ears swiveling around and following the conversations of the other cats. He didn't have anything to talk about himself, and since he didn't feel like getting involved in a conversation that other cats were already involved in, he decided to say nothing to them. His eyes followed along with his ears, staring at one group of cats after another, and his eyes seemed to gleam for a moment as he watched them. Timberpaw hadn't really thought about having friends; good friends; before, but now he was beginning to consider the thought. He had been focused so much on working hard that he had forgotten about friendships for a while, but now seeing all the other cats together made him feel like perhaps it would be worth it. Someone to tell his ambitions and dreams, fears and emotions to...someone I can trust, he thought almost confidently.

{ Omg I’m so sorry I just realized that post was from last year. Hah I’m so sorry I’m really new, still getting used to everything. I thought the first meant the newest one not the very first post on here! Please ignore this.}

The small tom padded into the medicine cat den, his ears flat against his skull, his blue hues flickered with unease. This den hadn't brought good memories, this is where he found out his mother didn't love him, and this is where the only family member who cared for him lived, and now he's dead. Honestly the only reason he was in here now was because another queen pushed him in here after he had cut his arm.

Stonekit looked around and twitched his whiskers "Hello? I've got a cut on y shoulder....it stings a little and I want to get out of here as soon as possible." he called out, his little voice wavered slightly as he tried to suppress the overwhelming sadness that washed over him. Anytime he came near this den, he felt a twinge of sadness, but now that he was in the den, it was overwhelming, he began to tear up, but quickly blinked away the tears as he saw a figure approaching. He didn't want them to see how sad he truly was, how angry and confused he was. He had to be strong, or else he'll be swept away.

Approaching pawsteps alerted the young cat to the presence of another. "I'll be right with-" The medicine cat began, her back turned to the entrance as she glanced over the herb storage and then her expression changed when she saw who it was. Wheatfur had often spoken of his family, and Caliapaw had listened to every story. Sometimes she had only been half-listening, but that didn't change the fact that she knew who Stonekit was. I know how you feel. She thought with an inward sigh at his comment about wanting to get out of here. Some days were like that for her. Yet Caliapaw tried her best to always keep the same expression on her face, a neutral one, but it was good enough. "I'll fix that up for you." The feline answered, grabbing a couple of cobwebs and some marigold. She hoped she was doing the right thing - from what Wheatfur had taught her, the marigold would help heal the cut and keep out infection. She was starting to run a little lower, however, which made her nervous - she would have to search through her memory and see if there was anything else for infections. Some things could treat them, but she needed a preventive method first. Chewing the marigold, Caliapaw sat silently, half-watching Stonekit but mostly paying attention to her work. When she was finished, she dripped the juices into the open cut, leaving the now-dried remaining part of the plant on the ground. She'd take that out later. "I know it stings. It'll help it heal faster though." The medicine cat shrugged as though that were her last word on the matter, picked up the cobwebs, and placed them on the cut.

An apprentice padded through the camp entrance, her head lowered to the ground so she could push a lifeless mouse along. Clamped tightly in her jaws there was a scrawny blackbird, leaving no room for any more prey, hence why she was pushing the mouse with her nose. She carried herself and her prey over to the fresh kill pile. Today had been a particularly good day for hunting. She hadn't been this lucky in the past few days and she was thankful that StarClan had given her the chance to find the two creatures. She deposited her kills at the fresh kill pile, nudging the mouse so that it lay next to it, and placing the blackbird gently on top of the pile. With her hunting done now, she was free to do as she pleased.
Gazing at the fresh kill pile, Featherpaw's blue gaze searched for a piece of prey that wasn't too big, but would suit her hunger. She eventually picked out a decent sized sparrow. She picked up the sparrow with her jaws then scampered off to a quiet spot. It was a spot which had grass that was free of foliage. Because of leaf-fall, there were plenty of scattered leaves in the camp. She was glad to have found a spot that was free of the leaves. She lay down on her side and started eating her sparrow, beginning by pulling out the feathers.

Her meal was finished within a matter of minutes and once she was done, Featherpaw straightened up and ran her tongue over her lips. She glanced at her pelt and when she saw that it was messy and muddied. She didn't like it when her fur was messy. Quickly, she stretched her neck back to reach her pelt and quickly groomed it. Once again, she managed to finish the job quickly. It was one of the perks of having white fur. Any specks of dirt were much more noticeable on white fur, rather than on something like brown fur, and anyone who liked to keep their pelt clean would become skilled at cleaning their fur quickly in just a few moons. Sighing in contentment, she lay her head down on the uneven grass and rolled onto her back. She stared up with blank eyes and smiled at the peace that lay in the clear, blue sky.

"So we met at the cliff where I was suppose to profess my love to her, but father's story continued to linger in my mind. Crimsonpaw paused. "I (impulsively) told her that I knew the truth about what happened in the past...and She started to cry."

"She confessed that she had been using me to get into Thunderclan as a mole and that I was her way in."
Peachrain's eyes grew wide in surprise," Oh, wow. I didn't guess that." she meowed realing that in.

Burningforest padded into the clearing,carrying a freshly caught thrush in his jaws.The scent wanted into his mouth.He hoped Naomi would like it.He looked around,wondering if he should check the nursery for her when he didn't spot her at first.Soon,He saw her out of the corner of his vision.He layed the thrush infront of him,and thought nfor a moment what he should say.He picked the thrush back up,feeling the feathers tickle his nose again. He carried it over to her and later it down."Its freshly caught.I can catch one for Pinekit if you want,But I didn't know if she liked birds or not." He explained.

Naomi's pale blue eyes lit up at the sight of BurningForest and The thrush, a slight purr rumbled in her throat. " Thank you BurningForest , I appreciate the thrush and of course the offer to catch one for pinekit I'm sure she'd enjoy one.." She pressed her nose to his for a few seconds before pulling away "But I also think she'd just enjoy you playing around with her more, I can't keep up with that fluffy bundle of fur anymore!"

He smiled and nodded." Ok then.I don't have any patrols to be on,so I can spend some time with her.Where is she?" He asked, realizing he hadn't played with her in a while.He had been to busy hunting and helping prepare for war like everyone else who was able to fight and hunt.With leafbare already here,bringing cold and driving away prey,and war just on the horizon,that was all he was able to think about most of the time,and when he wasn't busy helping the other warriors,he was trying to hunt for Naomi,Pinekit,and everyone else in the clan.It would be nice to take his mind off of it,even if only for a few muinuits and spend time with both of them.

In just a few moments a small thick furred she-kit bounded over to the Warrior and jumped onto his back "BurningForest!!!!!!!" Pinekit squealed out as she clung onto his back or atleast attempted to.
Naomi chuckled as she watched her daughter get excited over seeing BurningForest and stared at the two for a moment before starting to eat the thrush.

@Lonestar23 (I couldn't remember if I had posted a starter for Emberwing and Brightkit. If not, here it is! I apologize for its lateness!)

A cold wind rushed through the quiet ThunderClan camp, whistling above the ground and stirring up a pile of dead leaves that had collected nearby the entrance. Overhead, gray clouds had gathered to blot out any of the remaining weak sunlight rays, providing no warmth to the cats below. Near the side of camp sat one feline, her tongue moving in rhythmic stroke to flatten her fluffed up fur. Emberwing hated feeling any sort of wind between her pelt, and worked feverishly to settle it back down.

Thank goodness I'm not a WindClan cat she thought to herself as she continued her work, stretching her neck to reach the last tuft of fur on her shoulder blade. Once smoothed, the warrior lifted her head and let out a tired sigh. This leaf-bare had been a rather tough one, and she was looking forward to the coming moons where greenleaf would began to poke it's head out from hibernation. She longed to feel the warm sun on her fur and to be able to climb high into the trees without being buffeted by the treacherous wind that seemed to fill long days and nights. At least it hadn't started to snow. That was one thing she was glad for, thought the temperature could use a bit of warming up. With the tensions so high, the almost freezing environment did nothing but add to the already heavy stress she felt upon her shoulders as a ThunderClan warrior.

Emberwing shook her head in an attempt to dislodge the dreary thoughts, deciding instead to focus on the good in Clan life. She gazed around, her pale green eyes flashing as she studied her Clanmates. Most were seeking shelter in the dens, and if they weren't she was certain they were out preparing for the battle. Snowstar had ordered expedited training for all apprentices, and it made her feel a bit left out. Sure, she was a newly made warrior, but the she-cat knew she would do a fine job as a mentor. She just needed to be given the opportunity. Claws flexing in and out of their furred covers, caving marks into the soft ground, the she-cat rose to her paws. Perhaps making herself useful by taking a turn hunting in this gloomy weather would increase her chances at becoming a mentor. Aiding the Clan had to help, right?

Ferngaze padded through the clearing looking for a friendly face to chat with, she glared at a few kittypets, before finding a fellow clanmate without a kittypet heritage Atleast...I think.,” You have no kittypet heritage correct?” She asked the molly not bothering introducing herself or doing a normal conversation starter One never can be too sure, That’s the most I’ll say to one with kittypet heritage.
(Sorry this is late)
Piperwing lounged in the clearing contently, enjoying some peace before resuming her warrior duties. Suddenly, another cat's voice reached her. Perking her ears, Piperwing opened her grass green eyes and blinked up at the other molly. What an odd way to start a conversation...She thought as she rose to a sitting position. "Not that I know of...uh- do you? My name is Piperwing, by the way." The sandy warrior didn't know what else to say. Maybe the other feline was simply shy and wanted to start a conversation using a topic. Piperwing had no problems with former kittypets as long as they had proved their loyalty and as far as she was concerned, cats with kittypet heritage but who were born in the clans already had.

Flashpaw yawned as he trotted out of the apprentice's den. He had enjoyed a brief nap after hunting and catching a rather plump squirrel. Now, however, his stomach grumbled with hunger. It must have been what woke him up. Taking a moment to stretch, the bengal apprentice searched the clearing for one of his many friends. His eyes landed on Featherpaw grooming herself and he smiled. Flashpaw skipped over to the freshkill pile and cast a picky gaze over it before carefully selecting a nicely-sized mouse (for leaf-fall at least) and heading over to his friend. "Hey, Feth." He called in a muffled voice, shortening her name lazily. The tom finally reached Featherpaw and dropped his mouse beside her, flopping ungracefully onto his stomach and tearing a large bite out of the creature before him.

Burningforest fell over,but made sure not to fall on Pinekit.In a exaggerated voice,he pretended to have lost a great war."All no!I've been defeated!How could you do this to me?" He said dramatically.

The young queen couldn't help but burst out laughing at the sight once again "Ah pinekit your too adorable"

A bitter yawn broke through the wakening form of Junipersight. His whiskers twitched with uncertainty, ears pricking to detect anything crucial or somewhat instructive. But, alas, nothing. The tom-cat didn't bother to look around the Warriors' Den, both not really caring all too much for what or who was inside, and also because he had given up on actually being able to see anything around him. There was once a period of time where the young feline believed that he would wake up, and magically be able to view the world around him. Although, that day hadn't come yet. And it probably never would; Junipersight had come to the realisation a few moons ago that it wasn't possible. Perhaps in his past he had the ability to see, but his memory didn't have the willpower to stretch that far: if that far even existed. He thought, however, that if he had known what everything had appeared like before he had gone blind, then he would envy those with working eyes more. He'd also feel bad for himself, which was never a good thing, and we all know that Junipersight is a fairly emotional cat.

Swinging his lithe build up into the air, with appendages holding him up steadily. The warrior trailed himself out from the den, already being hit with the faint scent of petrichor. A shower of rain was likely to cascade from the skies anytime today, Junipersight was pretty sure of that. With his toes grasping at the terrain below them, banner twitching from side-to-side as he stalked across the Thunderclan camp. The tom had an odd way of walking, really. His head would hang low, with no enthusiasm present whatsoever. His spine arched upwards, and shoulders too; making his front seem more prominent than the rest of his frame. Hind legs almost drawing behind the others. The male seemed almost... elderly. In a somewhat hunched-down, cranky way. His usual grumpy expression added to that, as did his overall 'leave me alone' aura. Honestly, he's quite the sceptical character, and that shows in the way he carries himself.

Anxiety prickling at his pelage, the tom-cat hesitantly crossed through the centre of the camp. He wasn't very well-known within the clan, which was quite a positive thing in his opinion, which meant that he wasn't constantly stopped to say a quick 'hi', or offered to share tongues with someone. Nope, Junipersight was almost always found either alone in a sunny area, or with his 'adoptive' family. He didn't mind not having much attention sent his way, the feline actually preferred it. With lengthy appendages driving the male forwards, and nose sniffing to gain a better knowledge of where he was headed, Junipersight began to trot on over to an area which was familiar to him. Dainty reeds tugged at his paws, but not so much that he was likely to trip over, whilst his chestnut coat was inevitably snared by a few brambles. The young warrior traipsed his way into the shadows, immediately falling into a cooler grasp of air. Not that he cared.

Settling himself down on the smoother mounds of dirt, velvet-like audits twitching with every fragile movement. Junipersight began to ensconce his entire build onto the ground, sprawling out and stretching as much as he could whilst there was so much space available for him to occupy. Not an ounce of expression could be found anywhere on his form, nothing lingered and nothing was askew. A quaint sigh trailed itself out from parted lips, climbing its way up into the sky without a single care in the world. Oh how Junipersight wished he could do the same. He appreciated the clans, of course, but it would be great to just be able to roam freely and recklessly. No rules to strap to your chest, and the power to do anything in your will. For some it would be a dream come true, but even if the tom had the choice to do such a thing; he knew he'd grow sick of it. Admittedly, Junipersight would just go back to his usual ways within a week or two. It would be incredible, yes, but his home was here, and that's where it would remain.

Burningforest looked at pinekit,trying to sit up."I don't know if you know what you said." He said,and knew his face was probably flushed.

[Barnabas]

Shiverkit let out a purr at the compliment her best friend paid her, "Thanks!" She said feeling rather proud of herself and bounded back towards her friend will her tail held high. She dropped the leaf and shot Foxkit a friendly smile, "Yea, of course, you can play with us!" She said feeling better and better about her new life in this clan as she made more friends, "The more the merrier!" She mewed purring as she saw the she-kit's excitement, "Since you just joined you can be one of the seekers! I'll hide the leaf now, then Foxkit can hide it, and Summerkit can go again after!" She said making a system so everyone got the chance to hide the leaf, "Sounds good?" She asked her friends.

"Yes! I bet I'll find it first" Foxkit squealed. "oooh I can't wait to hide it. This is gonna be fun!" she hopped from paw to paw enthusiastically. She was happy they let her play with them. She kinda thought they would just wanna play between the two of them but decided to ask anyways.

Summerkit let out a purr at Foxkit's excitement, closing her eyes. She bumped Foxkit's shoulder, playfully. "we gotta close are eyes now, so that we don't see where she's hiding it." meowed Summerkit in a friendly and playful voice. She didn't want to seem serious, since she was always playful or giggly when it comes to her playing with her new friend Foxkit and her best friend Shiverkit. 'I wonder where Shiverkit's gonna hide the leaf. I just have to keep quiet and listen to her movement's so that I know where to look.' thought Summerkit, listening for Shiverkit's movement.

Pinekit nodded "She told me!! She really did, and whenever your not paying attention and she she's you around camp i catch her staring at you!!!"

[Mango]

"I reached out to her with my paw and offered to help, and she, reluctantly, accepted it and grabbed a hold as i pulled her to safety."
Peachrain smiled," That's good." she meowed.

[Leaf_tail]

Leaftail lifted her head from the moss and yawned widely, her tail twitching. She stretched her bad leg and padded to the exit of the cave. She stuck her nose out the mouth of the cave, sniffing the air. "Bad weather for hunting," she mewed thoughtfully.

[Shivers]

Summerkit let out a purr at Foxkit's excitement, closing her eyes. She bumped Foxkit's shoulder, playfully. "we gotta close are eyes now, so that we don't see where she's hiding it." meowed Summerkit in a friendly and playful voice. She didn't want to seem serious, since she was always playful or giggly when it comes to her playing with her new friend Foxkit and her best friend Shiverkit. 'I wonder where Shiverkit's gonna hide the leaf. I just have to keep quiet and listen to her movement's so that I know where to look.' thought Summerkit, listening for Shiverkit's movement.
"Oh right" She said slightly embarrassed. She forgot she had to close her eyes. Foxkit shut her eyes tightly wondering where Shiverkit was going to hide the leaf. She twitched her ears listening for the other kits movements.

Shiverkit paused waiting for Foxkit and Summerkit to close their eyes. She wandered around as she looked for the perfect spot so it would be harder to listen exactly where she left the leaf. The black sphinx then spotted two nests that were close together. She padded over and attempted to squeeze the leaf in between the two nests. Although it was a good hiding spot she failed to notice the crunching noises the leaf made as she hid it. She walked around a bit feeling very accomplished before mewing, "Okay I hid it!"

[Tgwtgfan]

Peachrain smiled," That's good." she meowed.

"She seemed happy to accept my help, but we both knew that there would be trouble so long as we both were together. But in the end, we decided to stay together, this time as clanmates."

[Mango]

Peachrain blinked,"Ravenfur's is in Thunderclan...I take it once your a warrior you two will be mates."

[Tgwtgfan]

Peachrain blinked,"Ravenfur's is in Thunderclan...I take it once your a warrior you two will be mates."

"Yes." Crimsonpaw replied. "Its been an adjustment period for everyone in my family, but we're getting there."

[Mango]

"Yes." Crimsonpaw replied. "Its been an adjustment period for everyone in my family, but we're getting there."
(u know apprentices cant take mates...and uniforced rule of not publicizing love)
Peachrain purred,"That's a decent happy ending." She mused unlike my journey.

(My bad)
"And,,,that's about it."

(happens alot-I know the rules well,due to breaking them so much the staff find out.)
Peachrain shrugged," Yeah, wow. Makes my adventures in the Dusk Syndicate seem peaceful."

"Speaking of which, what's the story behind them?" The tom asked.

[Mango]

"Speaking of which, what's the story behind them?" The tom asked.
Peachrain shrugged,"Well, this Dusk Syndicate tom named Ice, well I caught him hunting on our territory, I asked him politely to leave as that's my nature- he agreed and asked for an escort to the border. I reluctantly agree, he flattered me and I fell in love with him and his icy blue eyes. I wasn't thinking when I invited him to meet me in two days at the seastones." She paused to see his reaction.

The Tom was fascinated by Peachrain's story, mostly because he could relate to her and her situation.

She continued,"when I got to camp, I realized how foolish I was, my friends told me going back on my word was okay with a Dusk Syndicate cat. But I didn't believe that...i should have. I asked my sister, you don't know her she died many moons ago, Lilacblossom to follow from behind. I chatted with I
him enjoying him, then on a whim I asked to join him in the Dusk Syndicate as his mate."

Crimsonpaw was intrigued by the story, but, given the context in which it was told, he knew that there was more that happened after. "So what happened next?" he asked.

[Static]

Pinekit nodded "She told me!! She really did, and whenever your not paying attention and she she's you around camp i catch her staring at you!!!"
" It doesn't mean she likes me though."he said.He was really running out of things to say,and each pause between sentences became longer and longer.

[GyreHaze]

" It doesn't mean she likes me though."he said.He was really running out of things to say,and each pause between sentences became longer and longer.

"She's actually not wrong for once that mouse brained kit is right..." Naomi admitted, tail curled over her paws as she sat. The she-cat wasn't going to lie she had very much liked the Tom for her own reasons but of course she was always to afraid to say anything...and was sure he had eyes for another she-cat

Burningforest's expression softened,and he wondered if he should confess to."I've never fallen in love with any other cat except you,but I didn't think you would love a cat like me." He said honestly.As an apprintice,he had had a few crushes,one or two at the most,just like any cat,but they never lasted long,and he had never faced up to them,and eventually, the feelings faded away.This was different though.Since there first time hunting together,he had loved he,and unlike a crush,it hadn't faded away in a moon or so.

Naomi got up and gently pressed her muzzle to his, "Well I don't love any cat but you, BurningForest..." (Sorry writers block XD )

PERCHKIT | TC KITTEN
2 MOONS | MORE INFO (https://docs.google.com/document/d/15KBYu03NUhIYUa_TS24RIPN9DOcPAUx_iexvD6c5w7w)

[ from the shadowed figures of sleeping mothers and the vague shapes of kittens, a tiny head emerged, like someone surfacing from a stream. the morning was misty, and though the sky seemed sullen with clouds, nobody seemed to be awake. a shame, the little kitten thought, but more space to herself, she supposed.

perchkit didn't feel as if she belonged sometimes, though. she didn't have siblings to sentimentalize or parents to please. well, of course, she had a foster mother to manage her, but sometimes perch felt that even she didn't want to see her at times. at least she had one other friend, a fellow named sparrowkit, but for the most part, she braved life by her lonesome self.

standing up, she stretched carefully, hoping that her haughty paws wouldn't wake them. wide olive-green orbs blinked briskly, instead she saw it was safe. again, she pondered why nobody was awake, but maybe it was because of the dreary day.

she dashed out of the nursery, the morning illuminating her messy, short pelt. perchkit wasn't a very hygienic cat, and her foster mother usually cleaned her coat for her. she never was a cat to pay attention to typical trends anyways.

the air smelled of sap and rain, a peaty scent that pleased the petite kitten. her tail bristled in a buzz - unlike most, the rain was reassuring to her. perhaps it was the way raindrops rang against the ground and leaves, or the prominent puddles left over from a storm. either way, she was excited for the possible pour.

perchkit waddled around the camp, her steps still a little uneasy. she was young, but it seemed that she had grown more emotionally than physically. her words were still a bit slurred, though, and she was learning how to speak, but that didn't stop her from doing what she wanted!

traveling across the camp with the tiniest of strides, the curious cat glanced around with a verdant-green gaze. it seemed that not many cats were out and about - maybe they went for patrol, she thought.

she spotted a shaded space across from her. that looked like a good place to play pretend with herself! excitedly, perchkit let out a squeak and waddled over, almost tripping on her own paws a few times.

unfortunately for her, she completely missed the warrior who was already occupying the cove.

"oh! 'm sowwy!" she squeaked as she slammed into his side. she reeled back, shaking herself. ]

Naomi got up and gently pressed her muzzle to his, "Well I don't love any cat but you, BurningForest..." (Sorry writers block XD )
It's ok.)
He smiled."Same here." He purred.'I can't belive Pinekit actually hooked us up.' he through, but he wasn't complaining.It had made it easier for both him and Naomi to confess after all.

[SuspiciousMindz]

Casting a skeptical glance towards the sky, the fluffy feline smirked. "Well in that case, guess I really will flirt until the sky falls down." Ottertail mewed, the smirk replaced by a grin as he glanced over at his friend again. He made weak attempts at avoiding her kit-like blows - twisting his head to one side or another, or shifting just a little bit, but since they didn't hurt and he really didn't mind, the majority of the pats met their mark. It took a while for Ottertail to react to her comment, but once he did, he sprang up and was after her with a determined gleam in his green eyes. "Come back here, you coward! You can't just spring that on me!" He mewed, darting after the black and white cat with a friendly gleam in his eyes and a mischievous purr in his throat. If there was anyone watching them, Ottertail was blissfully unaware of it. All he knew right now was the awesome game the two of them were involved in.
Mintberry threw her head back while she ran as a laugh left her throat. "Have to stay on your toes, fluff-butt!" she yowled as she continued to dart around the clearing. She didn't care what the other warriors were thinking at this point. She was having fun and that's all that mattered to her. She was making the best of leaf-bare. Her tail streamed behind her as she ran, paws hitting the ground lightly until her muscles started to warm up with the activity. It felt great. However, Mintberry's pace started to slow down a bit as her lungs started to burn for air. She wasn't sure how long they had been running at this point, but she couldn't stop her pace from decreasing. Okay. So maybe she was a little out of shape. She wasn't in Windclan anymore so running for so long was harder for her to do. If this were back when she first joined, she could outrun anyone here. Not saying she couldn't outrun most of the felines still. Mintberry simply used her former training to the best of her abilities.
