ShadowClan Life Before Destruction

[aspen.]

[ Vixenstar ]

Dapplebreeze looked around for her kits. She sure did hope that they weren't causing too much trouble, or trying to sneak into the apprentices' den again. She knew Icestar probably wouldn't punish them, but they might recieve a lecture.

"Squirrelkit?" she called, hoping they would come. "Kestrelkit!" Dapplebreeze sat outside the nursery and scanned over camp quickly. "Come here, I have some prey!" She picked up a mouse, hoping they would smell that.

-------------------------

Amberstrike snorted from the nursery's entrance. "You lost your kits again?" Dapplebreeze could never seem to keep track of her kits. She knew Petalkit was somewhere, playing with that other kit. And Squirrelkit and Kestrelkit caused too much trouble, and needed to be taught a firm lesson.

"I'll find them." she said, not waiting for the Queen's response. Amberstrike padded over to a nearby bush, hissed, and swiped firmly at it, wondering if they were hiding in there.

[Vixenstar]

[ Morning Glory ]

Amberstrike's paw didn't seem to strike anything in that bush. The leaves on a nearby bush rustled. Suddenly, Kestrelkit and Squirrelkit exploded out of the bush and jumped on top of Amberstrike, trying to tackle her.

[aspen.]

[ Vixenstar ]

Amberstrike lashed out with her paw, her claws thankfully sheathed, suprised for a moment. Then she turned back to Dapplebreeze and hissed furiously. "Well, I've found your kits," she muttered. "Unfortunately."

Amberstrike considered sending a blow to their tails to teach them a lesson, but it was probably a waste of her time anyway. "Stay out of trouble." she hissed at the two kits, then added, "At least Petalkit isn't as bad as you two."

------------------

Dapplebreeze let out a long hiss at that furball. "How dare you threaten those two kits? What have they done to you?"

[Vixenstar]

[ Morning Glory ]

The two kits stared at each other for a moment. "We didn't know it was you," Squirrelkit said. "We couldn't see who it was. If we knew it was you, we wouldn't have done it. I'm sorry..." Kestrelkit just stayed shut up; she knew that irritating Amberstrike was a bad thing to do, because of how mean she was.

[aspen.]

[ Vixenstar ]

Amberstrike frowned. "So if it was some other warrior you would have?" Amberstike hoped these kits would be out of the nursery soon, or even better, she could go back to warrior duties. Amberstrike glared at Squirrelkit. She pointed at Kestrelkit. "You have sense," she meowed. "You know when and when not to talk."

[Vixenstar]

[ Morning Glory ]

Kestrelkit looked over at Squirrelkit. "Yeah, you really need to keep your muzzle shut every once in a while." Kestrelkit lowered her voice so that only Squirrelkit could hear, "Good thing we're becoming apprentices soon. I've had enough of her."

[aspen.]

[ Vixenstar ]

Amberstrike looked down on the kit. "I heard that." she snarled. "And yes, that is a good thing. Maybe I'll get a half-moon break of you too, although I'll probably have to move back to the warriors' den soon." Those two kits were more then a pawful. Ambersrike didn't want to think what it would be like having to patrol of fight with them, and she felt sincerely bad for whoever would be their mentor.

[Vixenstar]

[ Morning Glory ]

Squirrelkit lowered her head and went back to her nest, muttering about how much she hated Amberstrike. Kestrelkit felt bad for the interaction between her and Amberstrike, so she padded off to the freshkill pile. The black-and-brown she-cat returned with a mouse in her jaws. "I'm sorry for what happened earlier," Kestrelkit mumbled. "Here, I got you a mouse." She dropped the piece of freshkill at Amberstrike's paws.

Amberstrike looked at the mouse. "Thank you," she said, almost suprised. She noted how Squirrelkit responded, and snorted.

[Estelle]

"th-tha-nk yo-ou" Nightpaw mew quietly at the deputy's compliment as she dropped back onto four paws. There wasn't much showing it, but it was needless to say that the young molly was surprised by his words- she'd never expected to hear anything like that, especially seen her struggle when it came to battle training. But it was nice nevertheless, and it made her somewhat feel good.
Anyway, thoughts aside, Nightpaw looked back at the now fixed holes. Naturally it wasn't the best work ever done, she was never properly taught how to fix them after all and only did it from memory of watching anothe do it, so specifically the holes she had started with were likely less well done than the one's at the end. That's why the white apprentice took some materials and decided to go in to fix, or perhaps strengthen, the ones she had started with; just so that they wouldn't make any new holes any time soon. Once that would be done, it appeared no other hole needed fixing. Well, no other hole besides the big hole Beastspark was working on. Unfortunately she hadn't been able to get to it before he came back. Unsure of what to do next, Nightpaw glanced towards Beastspark and then Frostpaw before taking a short moment to break the silence "i-is the-ere an-anyth-ing e-else th-that ne-eds to be do-done?" she asked.

[Estelle]

"n-no it-it's fi-ne.." Nightpaw mew, her voice quieter than usually, a bit unsure about her current use of words, but that was really the least of her worries. It wasn't necessarily that the move was difficult or seemed that advanced- well perhaps slightly- but it was mostly that she had gotten genuinely scared for a moment when she saw the quick movement from the corner of her eye; which was the reason behind her reaction. No matter how much she disliked it, she couldn't help but get atleast worried at the mere thought of an attack, even if she knew nothing could happen, specifically this time seen as it was just her mentor. But she would have to learn. And this was just defense, so that couldn't to hard. The part that would likely be the hardest is offense, using it to be precise. Shacking the thought off, Nightpaw tried to just ignore it and hoped to be able to go on with training without to much trouble. "m-may-be w-we ca-an t-try ag-aga-ain..?" it was almost a whisper when she spoke, because quite frankly, she wasn't looking forward to it. But again, she would have to learn eventually.

Shadowfoot padded up to his mate. Yes, i'm here. Is something wrong?

[lucidense]

Smallpaw shook in fear, her ears pinned to her head as a small stream of blood dripped down her forehead. She wanted to fight her mentor.. to prove she wasn't a weakling, but maybe she was. She backed away from her mentor, fear in her golden gaze as her tail was between her legs, but there was a fire that blazed beneath her fear. ~Corruptedfate~

[ Mumble ]


Sprinting out of the apprentices den with a long legged , thin she-cat. Skidding to a stop , a bit of dust managed to be kicked up into the air , causing the she-cats ears to twitch , a moment later she let out a sneeze. “Stupid dirt , dust! Whatever it is!” Fleapaw snapped to nobody in particular , slamming a paw onto the ground. Following that action , she felt her paw ache for several minutes. “And stupid ground too!!” She hissed , narrowing her eyes towards the ground with a look of hatred. She stared at the ground with that look for what seemed like forever before looking up once again , eyes scanning the clearing for someone , anyone to talk to. Oh! Maybe Duskblossom? She wasn't sure where she was though...she could be in the warriors den , or the territory , or at the borders , or basically anywhere! Well , then. Talking to Duskblossom was off of the list , then. She didn't want to spend all that time looking for the warrior.

Instead , her gaze landed directly onto a feline not too far away. The apprentice felt a grin start to appear as she let out a slight snicker. Turning around , Fleapaw trotted a long ways behind her fellow clanmate , just far enough that nothing would seem suspicious. She then dropped into a crouch , similar to one that you would use when hunting , stalking up behind the fawn brown cat. Her tail flicked slightly once she had crept up close behind the fellow apprentice , she quickly leapt beside the cat and jumped in front of them. “BOO!” Fleapaw yelled , staring at them with wide eyes which matched her equally wide grin. “I scared you! Didn't I? I know I did , because I'm the best. That includes being the best at sneaking up on others!”


When stagpaw noticed a small she-cat a couple tail lengths away from them, they paid no mind to it. As they continued to groom themselves, they couldn't help but feel as if they were being watched. Looking around the clearing, they didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, so they just shrugged and went back to just relaxing. Suddenly, the same she-cat from before appeared in front of him, causing him to jump into the air, his eyes wide in shock, "What in Starclan-" he started, his eyes wide. What was that she-cats name again? Oh, right. "Fleapaw, what are you doing?" he asked, going to smooth his ruffled fur.

Fawnleap smiled gently at the beautiful she-cat, "Thank you. Do you know my son Dewpaw?"

[Undertaker]

Beastspark makes his way over to the highbranch with haste. His worry about cats getting stuck in those traps makes him very unease. The tom, having gotten used balancing on the branch, leaps up and lets out a powerful yowl.

"Let all old enough to catch their own prey, join beneath the highbranch for a clan meeting." Beastspark was sure he was going to get concerned looks and all that since he was calling a meeting without Icestar, but he wasn't in the mood to reassure them that the leader was just out. He had more important matters to handle.

Ashpaw disgruntledly approached the Highbranch, not up for a speech just yet.


--------------

Whitefeather concentrated on Beastspark, keeping her focus off of other cats around her.

[Wings]

[ Open! ]
--Echopaw--

Shooting out from the medicine cat's den, way before Irisflame was out. Echopaw quickly made her way to the High Branch. Though, she had noticed that the caller's voice was lower than Icestar's usual voice. And she soon found out that it was Beastspark calling the meeting. Interesting, maybe Icestar was letting him practice a ceremony or two? She didn't know. Sitting down in front of the tom, she curled her tail over her paws and looked up.

[Quasar]

Sagewhisker padded out of the warriors den, bits of moss stuck to her messy fur. She laid down in the clearing and began to hastily groom her messy fur.

Stagpaw bolted out of the apprentices den, their eyes focused on the highbranch and their ears perked.

[duCky]

[OPEN]
Hearing the familiar words, Cypresspaw padded out of the apprentice den and into the clearing. Picking a spot towards the front, she sat down, ears perked and ready to listen. Especially if it mean cheering and supporting a new apprentice or warrior.

[Cobra]

Dewpaw tipped his head. Wha? He was pretty sure his "uncle" wasn't the leader.

Fawnleap stumbled out, yawning.

Hawkpaw raced out excitedly.

Squirrelkit bounced out. "Mommyyyy!" Goldwhisker

Meadowsong slid out.

[The Kitty.]

Sparrowsnap limped languishingly out from the unpacking warrior's den, chin tilted high in an attempt to hide her freshly-scarred face. The she-cat's head whirred with anxious curiosity. Why in the name of StarClan had Beastspark - not Icestar, but Beastspark - called the Clan-meeting?

Interesting, maybe Icestar was letting him practice a ceremony or two? She didn't know. Sitting down in front of the tom, she curled her tail over her paws and looked up.
Fawnleap purred at Echopaw. "Echopaw, have you met my son? Dewpaw-You'd love him!"

[Terrestrial]

Mudfern made her way towards the Highbranch, taking a sit in the front for a good view.

[nocturnal]

Frostpaw turned to see his deputy calling a clan meeting instead of Icestar. That was not normal. The white tom made his way to the gathering crowd of cats and stood somewhere near the back, a bit wary of whatever news he would be receiving this day.

Meanwhile, a dark tabby slipped out of his den. His eyes flickered up at the Highbranch and he frowned, not bothering to mask his worry. The warrior had never been the best at hiding his emotions, anyway. Fallenheart took a seat in the center of the crowd.

Skykit would wander over staring at the clan leader "whats going on???"

[cloudii]

Pebblefall padded out, concerned, but didnt mind Icestar not being present.

[BEAR.]

Falcondive lingered at the edge of the growing crowd, searching for the dark form of their leader.

This was.. weird.

[a1axis]

Sloewhisker padded out from the warriors den, surprised to see the Shadowclan deputy, rather than the leader. Where was Icestar? Surely Beastspark wouldn't call a clan meeting without her for a reason? "Strange..." The patched she-cat uttered to herself.

//Open, feel free to hop in with Sloe

[Fuzzy]

Cloudberry's ears swerved back at the meeting call. What was Beastspark- actually that wasn't really concerning to her. Tail lashing behind her the warrior moved over to the Highbranch and flopped down in the back of the group. She would see what the deputy had to say.

[Exis]

Blackpaw padded up at the summons of Beastspark.

(Open)

[furrensic]

[ Magpiekit - OPEN ]

At the call from the clans deputy , the black and white kit poked their head out of the nursery. They could only assume it was a meeting— was something going on? “Probably something bad.” Magpiekit muttered to themselves before slipping out of the nursery and padding up towards the shadow branch , pushing past a few of their larger clanmates to get near the front.
______

[ Mentallyunstable hope you don't mind! ]
As soon as she heard the call , Fleapaw bolted out of the apprentices den , letting out energetic snickers. The she-cat did little 'tippy-tappies' against the ground with her paws , pushing past most of the felines in front of her. Looking up to the branch , she frowned slightly. Beastspark? The deputy? Aw man! She was hoping it would be Icestar. If it was , she could've gone up there and bragged about how good of an apprentice she is! So she would become a warrior extra quick- because the clan was already lucky enough to have her as an apprentice. But they'd be more lucky with her as a warrior! Looking around , the pale molly spotted a fellow apprentice , walking up to them. “Hey!” She greeted in a noisy tone. “Do you know what the meeting is about?”

[Smoke]

smokehawk walked over. this was cool, his brother was hosting a meeting! he closed his eye and sent a silent prayer to starclan that icestar wouldn't punish him.

[cloudii]

(Sure)
Croakingpaw gave a nod to Pebblefall picking up his prey to head to camp.
She followed him. (okay)

[Wings]

[ Echobreeze18 ]
--Echopaw--

The silvery she's head turned back to see Fawnleap. The queen Irisflame and her had helped a couple days ago. "Hello Fawnleap!" Her mew in a
happy cheery tone. Though, her face turned annoyed, with a touch of sourness in her eyes. "Yes, I've met him and you could say that." But it would be wrong.

[Arie]

-- {Open}

Driftstep took a few steps towards the highbranch before they started wobbling as they made their way over. The large tabby cat sat down, but before they did, they looked over where they were planning to sit, making sure there was no kit in the near vicinity as they finally did sit down. They then focused their eyes on Beastspark. They didn't exactly want to question it, it would probably just results in getting slapped. Unless Fennelhaze was no close, then they wouldn't get slapped.

[Exis]

Blackpaw looked at the apprentice, slightly annoyed at her voice, “No, I don’t.” He almost snapped before facing the highbranch.
alan (not at all, but quick question, how big and how old is Fleapaw?)

[Cobra]

Fawnleap smiled. "He's a sweetheart, right?"
Wings

[kittygirl]

darkkits ears perked up and he hobbled over to the highbranch, he was never one to enjoy a meeting but he was sooooo bored! so a meeting was better than nothing!

[furrensic]

[ Mentallyunstable Fleapaw is 6 moons old! She's not that big either , around 6 in. tall ]


At the snap , the apprentices eyes narrowed slightly. “Well!” Fleapaw grunted , smacking her paw against the ground in slight irritation. “What was that snap for , huh? Better respect me! Im suuuuppeer powerful.” That was a plain lie , one that was quite easy to see through too. She was small , young , and clearly didn't have any battle experience. But she could always dream. “Aannnddd!! I only asked a question so you can't be so rude.” She said , large eyes narrowing at the tom. Her words were quite ironic— she wasn't the nicest feline herself.

[Maplefur]

Sparrowcatcher looked up as Beastspark's call rang out in the clearing. She stood and promptly joined the gathering members of her clan below Highbrach, curiosity sparkling in her eyes as she wondered what the deputy had to say - and why Icestar wasn't speaking instead. Seating herself along the edge, she curled her tail around her paws and stared up at the deputy, quietly waiting to see what announcements would be made. A slight spark of worry for Icestar sprang up, simply because Sparrowcatcher wondered if something may have happened to cause the leader to not be here to make these announcements, but she pushed it away. She shouldn't worry until she had more information to go off of. Until she learned more, the molly would simply have to assume that Icestar was fine.

[dino.]

Bravedawn pulled herself out of the warriors' den and took her usual spot near the back of the crowd. Though her face was flat and emotionless, she couldn't help but feel confused. Why was Beastspark the one making an announcement? That was Icestar's job.

[ChillCat]

Ivyshade padded to the Highbranch, yawning. Wait, where's Icestar? Eh, she's probably fine, she reasoned with herself.

[Mayflower]

Magnoliapetal approached the Highbranch, two things standing out to her. One, Beastspark was on the Highbranch instead of Icestar. Had he taken over? As much as she... respected her dear cousin Icestar, Beastspark seemed much more capable than the she-cat. Why, he was a tom, after all. Two, she couldn't find Aldertrail. Where was he, for Starclan's sake. Ah, never mind that. He'd find her if he needed her.

[ChillCat]

Rabbitkit bounded to the Highbranch. I'm old enough to be an apprentice now, maybe this is my ceremony!

[Wings]

[ Echobreeze18 ]
--Echopaw--

As Fawnleap sat beside her, Echopaw gave her that glace that screamed: 'Really? Are you kidding me? Are you stupid? Do you even know your son?' She flicked her ear, noticing as the crowd gathered. She silently wondered what today would be about. And she didn't see Icestar anywhere observing the meeting. What was going on?

[Abyssopelagic]

Whiskernose strolled over and sat patiently.


Honeycreeper stared at the Highbranch but didn't move from his spot. He could listen just fine where he was.


Stormfly slid in beside Storkfoot, huffing as she had to arrange herself differently than normal for her hardly plump belly. Yet it was uncomfortable if she sat normally. She gruffed at her mate. peponceo


Crowskip slipped into the crowd, slowly blinking as she glanced up at the deputy.

[Cobra]

Fawnleap winced. "Oh, he was rude to you?"
Wings
[Won't reply till morning Eastern Time, prolly!]

[Splashy]

+ Undertaker +
Whitepaw appeared concerned about not seeing the Leader when the Deputy called the meeting, but he saw their face and tried to relax. He just stayed silent, finding a spot near some other apprentices and looking up at the Deputy, making sure he paid attention

[Exis]

Blackpaw looked down at the apprentice, “Powerful my tail, if your so powerful how come you don’t know the answer to your own question?” He wasn’t in the best mood, his scar was bugging him.

alan

[Mango]

Croakingpaw padded forward curios as to why it was Beastspark and not Icestar, hopefully nothing bad happened to Icestar.

Stemkit padded forward, maybe Icestar finally saw her worth as becoming an apprentice.

[Star child]

Bubblekit bounced out of the nursery. What was going on?

[Wings]

[ Echobreeze18 ]
--Echopaw--

"You could say that." She said, looking back straight, angled a bit up at Beastspark. And that was an understatement. He had been rude to her, threatened her, and distracted her from her work on one of his friends! And Icestar would know of his threat. When she found out where she was of course.

[CheetahPelt]

Mirepaw frowned at the fact his aunt didn’t stand on the Branch, settling under it

[Madelaine]

[ CheetahPelt; ]

Ebonypaw was sitting down near the shadowclan highbranch when she spotted her brother. The large black apprentice padded up to him. "It's weird to see Beastspark on the highbranch huh?'", she asked, letting out a smile. After a while she instantly went back to frowning not understanding why she smiled. She never smiled.

[BEAR.]

[ all kittens have been eaten with permission from their respective roleplayers ]

Flesh graced his mouth. Sweet, sweet, salty meat that Foxbite had been dying for.

He licked his lips, savoring the taste of cat blood. As Whisperkit tried to wiggle free, Foxbite growled and forcibly shoved down onto his back, keeping him in place as he tore into his back. He planned on tearing him apart, piece by piece-- consuming him entirely, but it was hard when Whisperkit was so intent on fighting him. How ungrateful!

And screaming? Classless. Foxbite knocked Whisperkit onto his side so he could take out that muzzle of his. It'd be hard to cry through a battered mouth..

He had just enough time to sink his teeth into Whisperkit's upper lip when a heavy force hit him in the jaw and he staggered back, taking a piece of Whisperkit's flesh with him. It tasted good..

But maybe not as good as the fat kit that decided to jump at his jaw.

Snarling, Foxbite turned his focus onto Snailkit. He lurched forward, snapping down onto his dinner's ear. He could feel his skin tear away into his mouth but it wasn't enough. IT WAS NEVER ENOUGH. He was hungry and he needed MORE.

Using his paw, Foxbite smacked Snailkit to the ground and pinned him, immediately chomping his teeth into the thick, fleshy pudge of his side. Ripping away a chunk of his flesh, he was quick to swallow and went in for more, moving down his side to chow into his flank.

What's that? A fat little paw? Don't mind if he indulged himself with that. Foxbite leaned over to latch his fangs into one of Snailkit's backpaws, ripping the flesh away to the best of his ability. It was harder than he'd hoped.. with the likely struggling and how little meat was on it compared to the rest of his body. Foxbite gave up when he reached bone, to redirect his attention to that chubby little face he left untouched. He could fix that.

Unfortunately he forgot about the other kitten.. the one that wasn't eaten, and he swatted at her when he saw her jumping for his face. Knowing two of his delicious meals weren't going anywhere, he stepped aside from Snailkit's bloodied frame to approach Beechkit.

Such a delicate little dinner. He certainly couldn't waste any part of her.. so he decided to start with her tail.

One paw holding her down, he leaned down to tear her tail off, watching the meat split away from her body. It was a little boney, he reflected as he crunched down into it, but tasty nonetheless.

And oh, he hardly got to the main event of the baby buffet. Once her tail was gone, he rolled her onto her back to expose the softness that was her belly. So tender.

So juicy.

He sank his teeth into her belly, ripping a chunk away before he swallowed and moved up her body. A piece out of her chest, she didn't need part of her chin anyway-- and who cared about ears? Certainly not the second fat kit who graced his belly tonight.

Once he had ripped part of her ear away, he knocked her onto her side and leaned down to rip a chunk of skin from her shoulder down.

A big chunk of flesh to finish his meal. He was grateful their screams seemed to mean nothing to others: who would miss a few walking balls of flesh, anyway?

[ Rainquail, x ghostie, Scum, Slushie, Fuzzy -- storm/jay can come in if you want them to see beech getting mauled! feel free to ping anyone who applied in the thread too ]

[Arie]

Fennelhaze had been staring off into the distance, focusing on nothing in particular. At least... it was nothing until the she-cat heard a voice that had become quite familiar to her. Driftstep. Perking her ears she turned to find her friend already close, sitting silently as she hoped to avoid getting crushed this time. She could deal with it, Driftstep was a wonderful friend after all, but it certainly wasn't ideal. Greeting Driftstep with a soft nuzzle, then getting booped quite dramatically herself... Fennelhaze actually registered what they were saying.
"Frog hunting? Frogs are... uh... those things that jump, yeah?" Fennelhaze got in a crouch and quickly tried to imitate the jump of one of those so-called frogs, landing on top of Driftstep with a hearty laugh. "I could be a really good frog! Did you see that jump?" She wasn't quite big enough to cause her friend to tip over, but now she was hanging on to their pelt like an adventurous kit. "Carry me away, mighty Drift! On an adventure to the laaaand of frooogs!!" Fennelhaze wasn't intent on moving as she hung lazily on Driftstep's back, unable to stop laughing like an idiot. Today would be fun, she could already tell.

Oh so now they had become a frog carrier? Driftstep was fully onboard with that and the large cat wobbled back and forth as they tried to keep their balance, but while having someone take their weight to one side while already being wobbly and unbalanced while walking didn't exactly help their objective. They were supposed to go frog crushing! Yet it seemed that Fennel was determined to become a frog herself. "Feeeeennnnnnnel, can you croak like a frog?" they questioned, as they then began to actually loose balance with their next step and then crashed completely to the side, squishing Fennelhaze under their 6-7kg of wonderful body. "HA! You squish!" they laughed. This was just too ridiculous. Who went frog crushing with your friend who could barely walk properly? Fennelhaze apparently and it was Driftstep themselves who'd suggested it. Well they never claimed to be particularly smart of mind did they? Had they gone ahead and claimed that before? "I Neveeer said this was saafeeee Feeeneeeell!"

{Here come's Doe :) }

Doepaw.... Doelight... She didn't know what name to go by, shuffled her paws on the ground. She'd been escorted from the border by Nettlespark? and Rosedapple? Those were their names, if she'd heard correctly. Now she'd been left though, not exactly aware of where they were. She'd been told to go see Beastspark... the vicious Shadowclan deputy she'd heard a lot about during her time in that wretched clan she used to call home. She didn't miss Thunderclan, no matter how disoriented Shadowclan seemed to be for her already. The ground was all soggy it felt like, and it was... strangely soft to walk on. However all the sounds seemed muted, she could barely hear it when other cats walked, and it severely threw the blind warrior? apprentice? off key, having lived her entire life relying on passive echo location in order to move about and locating things... Now the very same thing she was trying to locate didn't make any sounds so she couldn't figure out where they were. It wasn't particularly nice, this meant she would have to focus on her nose more... and she'd never been able to do that. She assumed it was just a matter of adapting but it would surely take longer for her. Finally picking up a scent that seemed to be what Nettlespark and Rosedapple had described her to, she shuffled her paws as she stopped just before bumping into the tom cat. "I'm... I'm... Doelight... Doepaw..." she stuttered. How was she meant to present herself after the hell that had happened in Thunderclan? She didn't want to go by Doelight, it hurt her, but she didn't want to become an apprentice again either. "I seek... to...join... Shadowclan." She didn't exactly know how convinced it sounded with her stutter, but she was trying so far to suppress the urge to just yell her issues with that damned clan she'd left. Would he demand she explained. She didn't know and would just wait and and see.

[Puddle~]

Ribbitpaw was a little confused why it was Beastspark calling the meeting instead of Icestar, but he didn’t question it too much, instead padding over to join the congregation forming at the base of the Highbranch. Seeing that his brother, Croakingpaw, was already there, the young apprentice did his best to steer clear of the idiot. It had been quite a few days since they’d last spoken, but he was still mad and didn’t intend on making amends anytime soon. If Croakingpaw was going to be a heartless dummy, then so would he. The tom took a spot near the edge of the crowd, pushing away the other thoughts to focus on what the deputy had to say.

[Abyssopelagic]

Stormfly had been sulking, lamenting over her situation when tiny, blood curdling wails of panic echoed through the camp, source from the elders den.
Her blood turned to ice and immediately she was running towards the den, claws unsheathed, pushing past any cat stupid enough to not get out of her way as she pelted through camp.

She tried to barge into the den but Foxbite's big fat lardy ass was in the way.
"WHAT IS GOI- FOXBITE, FOXBITE MOVE. NOW."
Out of the corner of her eyes she saw precious blood spilling into the ground and the two shivering little bodies of Snailkit and Whisperkit. When it became overwhelmingly clear he wasn't moving and he was hurting the kittens, she leapt, claws looking to grip his shoulders and planned to roll with him, forcing him to let go of his grip on Beechkit, an angry and thundering howl ripped through her.

Stagpaw dashed into the den when they heard the screams and yowls of those kit. their pupils dilated into slits, and their jaw slackened in horror, 'W-what's he doing to those poor kits?' they thought. They started to shake, watching in horror as the kits got ripped to pieces and devoured. They darted forwards after hesitating for a moment, and attempted to shove Foxbite away from the injured kits. "Foxbite, what in the name of starclan are you doing?!" they yowled. 'Why? Why is this happening? Why is starclan punishing us like this?'

Mirepaw looked up from cleaning his pelt. He was a large apprentice, huge polydactyl paws, a large maine coon mane encirled his throat. His strong regal face was stoic, though the young tom was friendly. He looked up. That's his new mentor! He gave blinked at the tom, pausing to look at him.
You have any plans for today?" He questioned the apprentice.
"I was hoping we could get in a training session if you were free." He hoped if he kept an eye on and took part in his training, he wouldn't decide to leave like his last apprentice did.

[Abyssopelagic]

"Life has been needlessly boring lately. But now i get to talk to you, so I'm faring much better now." Magnoliapetal smiled sweetly, tail waving lazily in the air. It was true, she was quite bored around camp, but her reasons for her boredom weren't quite what she assumed Crowskip would think. She had no kits to raise, no real purpose to her clan as a measly warrior. Pah, she needed to be in the nursery soon. One way or another. Note to self: find a way to have kits. Soon. Now, back to the conversation at hand. There was no place for dwelling on private affairs when speaking to a fellow lady. It was just impolite!
Crowskip's heart fluttered at the other mollies' words. "I'm glad I could brighten your day," she purred carefully, tail tip absentmindedly twitching.
"I'm gonna be an aunt soon," she murmured excitedly. She hadn't meant to say it so soon, but she blabbed when she's nervous and this was at the forefront of her mind.

"Oh? Why that's exciting news, isn't it?"As much as Magnoliapetal could talk about herself, she didn't mind putting herself on pause to let Crowskip speak. Besides, a molly serving her intended purpose to the clan was quite the thing to celebrate. "She must be proud to carry the clan's future." The diluted calico purred out her words, daintily waving her tail. How she wished she could be in the nursery as well...

[Confuzzled.Lynx]

Thornpaw padded over to the Highbranch and sat down.

[MagicCat99]

Russetpatch padded over to the highbranch and sat down, flicking her ear as she looked at Beastspark.

[plum]

Nettlespark had been sat in the clearing for a little while after his report- He had to take the time for himself to slowly shake the feeling that he could have lost a limb had Cowpaw not caught what he'd caught when he caught it. It was just as he was beginning to feel well enough to see if Irisflame was up for a visitor when Beastspark summoned the Clan to the Highbranch, and he blinks at the deputy in alarm before sliding over for a closer spot. Irisflame would have to wait.

[Shadowsight]

Fernkit scampered over and sat down, wondering why there was a clan meeting.

[teddy.]

Tears poured from Snailkits cheek. He knew his fate, the moment those bright fangs turned to him and suddenly his world turned red.

The pain, Oh Starclan, the pain. Blinding, bursting, blistering. He went limp when pinned, simply a chew toy to the elders jaws. Only did he open his eyes when the pressure upon him stop, when he felt the presences of the cat leave.

He expected to see Starclan, see his mother and his brother to greet him and take the pain away -- but all he saw was Whisperkit, both of them stained with their own blood.

Snailkit shut down as he went into survival mode and started to drag himself along to the younger kitten, the ground stained behind him as he pulled himself alone on three paws, the last one was as dead as his soul, completely limp as it lacked the muscle it needed to move.

"W-Whisperkit, w-w-we need to go," He kept his voice to a low weak whisper, his remain ear flattening at the crunch sound behind them. Maybe they could get away? Maybe they could get help-- Stormfly was here. Their smell mixed in with the horrific metallic scent that cling to Snailkits snout.

Help had come.

"Not..... exactly. She's keeping them, but doesn't want to be bothered with raising them." Well, Magnoliapetal seemed safe to tell. Besides, it wouldn't be a secret when she returned to warrior duties the next day. "When they're born, I will be staying in the nursery to raise them instead. I don't mind, though. I've always liked kits."
Not that she wanted them herself. There were always kits in the nursery needing a mother as it was. Just nab a few of them.

"Er- what's going on?" Doeflame said to no cat in particular, confused. Where was Icestar?

Blazestep padded up with Shrewpaw, exchanging confused looks. Let's see what happens.

Shrewpaw came up to the highbranch with Blazestep. This'll be interesting?

[Abyssopelagic]

Snailkit let a small content noise sound from him in agreement as he peered up at the unfamiliar cat. "Have you seen it? Bigger?" He asked, tilted head before rolling over onto his paws.
Crowskip turned her head curiously as the kit hauled himself up. "What do you mean by bigger? Just without trees blocking part of it?" She had never been to the moorland or anywhere else without trees, so even if that was the case, she wouldn't know for certain how to respond.

His eyes widened. It was the trees blocking the sky? he peered up again, his brows furrowed forwards in concentration. Oh they were right! "So... it is bigger, but the trees don't wann let us see?" He whined out, scrunching his little nose ans whiskers up. "The trees are mean..."

[wolfie]

a bit late to the party, jaypaw came stumbling in at the high-pitched screams. he wasn't sure what to suspect-- maybe a fox had snuck in? then again, elders' screams weren't.. that high.

jaypaw arrived behind stormfly, desperately trying to see what the heck was going on! as stormfly went into attack foxbite, the tom was able to see the remains of the previous scene. oh. his heart hammered against his chest, fear filling his body.

the small tom took a step back, his eyes widening because BLOOD. it covered the floor and -- and-- jaypaw looked to the two other kits who were mauled. ''oh starclan, " he squeaked out-- his body refusing to move. foxbite.. was.. is.. cannibalizing the kits.

he took a step to the side, trying to desperately regain control of his body. all jaypaw could really think about was death. turning his head to whisperkit and snailkit. ''o--okay, k..kits. ge..get uh, be,,behind me. " he squeaked out, watching foxbite and stormfly. he should be helping stormfly but, jaypaw was just too scared!

Doeflame spotted Maplepaw in the gigantic mob of cats and went over to him. "What do you think Beastspark's going to say?" She said, still trying to get him to become more of her friend then apprentice. Maybe he would actually like his apprenticeship if she did succeed, and would stop doubting himself.

[Dingo]

[ Featherstep glanced up at highbranch, her bright blue hues glinting with what seemed like curiosity. `Beastspark held a meeting without Icestar? How curious.`]

[ The she-cat rose to her paws, making her way gracefully towards the crowd of cats. She found a decent spot herself, and settled down, bringing her tassel neatly along her white-tipped paws. `Let's see what he has to say, shall we?` ]

[The Kitty.]

Smallpaw shook in fear, her ears pinned to her head as a small stream of blood dripped down her forehead. She wanted to fight her mentor.. to prove she wasn't a weakling, but maybe she was. She backed away from her mentor, fear in her golden gaze as her tail was between her legs, but there was a fire that blazed beneath her fear. ~Corruptedfate~

Sparrowsnap gasped, shocked, as suddenly a thin stream of blood began trickling down Smallpaw's forehead. "I-I'm sorry... I-I - oh no!" The mottled warrior took a plaintive pace back, ears curling to pin shamefully against her skull.
Just another totally great thing the Dark Forest had done.
Sparrowsnap furrowed her brows. "Training is over," she huffed. "Now, you should probably take a trip to the medicine cat's den."

[CheetahPelt]

You have any plans for today?" He questioned the apprentice.
"I was hoping we could get in a training session if you were free." He hoped if he kept an eye on and took part in his training, he wouldn't decide to leave like his last apprentice did.


"Nope no plans." He said, carefree. He went back to cleaning his pelt, one eye turned to the older cat. "I haven't really done much, my last two mentors were a real drag." His voice didn't change tone, carefree and light.

[CheetahPelt]

[ @CheetahPelt (http://warriorcatsonline.com/forums/member.php?u=8240); ]

Ebonypaw was sitting down near the shadowclan highbranch when she spotted her brother. The large black apprentice padded up to him. "It's weird to see Beastspark on the highbranch huh?'", she asked, letting out a smile. After a while she instantly went back to frowning not understanding why she smiled. She never smiled.



Mirepaw looked up at his sister, a grin spreading across his face. "Hey Ebon." He meowed, shoulder bumping her. "It is pretty weird to see Beastspark instead of Icestar. The last time I remember him being up there was when she was sick." He meowed, gaze traveling back to the large tom atop the highbranch. Eyes flicking back to his sister, he caught her quick smile, and his grin grew brighter. "Happy to see me are you?" He knew his sister wasn't quick to smile and it made him happy to see her like that, even though her face now was plastered with it's usual frown.

[Abyssopelagic]

Whiskernose frowned a bit. Huh. Well that needed to change. But he seemed a bit preoccupied with his grooming.
"Since you're free, I'll wait by the camp entrance so you can wrap up whatever you need to. Come see me when you're ready." He stated softly and with a flick of his tail, he straightened and slowly padded towards where he said he'd be to wait for the apprentice to finish and come join him. He kept him in his peripheral vision but otherwise didn't look Mirepaw's direction for too long.

Another scream of agony ripped from his throat as Foxbite continued to gorge himself on Whisperkit's body. He could feel every tooth ripping into his back, feel the warm blood that spattered his face and soaked his fur, turning it from white and brown and gray to shades of pastel scarlet. His screams turned to quiet whimpers, each one softer than the last.
Then Foxbite flipped him over, and he saw through teary eyes the blood-stained, gaping jaws of the monster above him, and it was as if a fresh surge of strength pulsated through him.

He was not going to die here. He was not going to die here!

He lifted a paw, claws out, and aimed a swipe at Foxbite's eye as the monster lunged forward again. Snailkit came to his rescue and the monster jerked away, taking a chunk of Whisperkit's right lip with him, leaving some of his upper teeth exposed.
But as he saw the monster begin to tear into the other young cat, and then into his sister, it became too much for him to bear. He shut his eyes, tight, and started to drag himself to the corner of the den. Blood, warm and sickly-salty, dripped down his lip and into his mouth, trailed in the dirt behind him. He curled himself into a ball in the corner and wrapped his paws over his ears, trying to block out the screams.

It didn't help.

Then a savior arrived in the form of Stormfly. He heard her voice, yelling at the monster to stop, to move, then realized she was trying to drag him, no, IT, away. But he still didn’t dare to open his eyes. He didn’t want to see it, ANY of it.
Then there was another cat, yelling too. And another. Too loud, too loud. Some other cat added their voices to the mix, but this time instead of raising his voice at the monster he was telling them to get behind him.
Whisperkit hadn't even realized Snailkit was beside him until he finally opened his eyes and saw the other kit. "But- but what about Beechkit?" he rasped.
He answered himself by deciding to do what Jaypaw had said. Ever so carefully he started to drag himself toward the apprentice. With each move he made, pain flared throughout his body. How was he not dead yet? He should have been passed out, eaten alive. And yet he wasn't. It didn't make sense. He collapsed behind Jaypaw, completely exhausted.

[lucidense]

She followed her mentor back to camp, hanging a few fox-lengths back as if she didn't want to be around her. Once she was at camp, she would go to the medicine den without another word to her mentor. ~Corruptedfate~

Interesting...

Mirepaw thought. Little different then the exciteable Redheart and the harsh Burnetsnap. He shrugged to himself, finishing his grooming with a few quick licks before trotting after the warrior. "Didn't take long did I?" He flashed a charming grin at Whiskernose, a laugh on the edge of his voice.

[ Mentallyunstable ]

Pinekit prodded around the nursery. Ohmystarsabove I’m so bored. She thought she thought. Though her thoughts were perfectly clear, her words were mumbled and sometimes incoherent, not that it seemed to her that anybody minded. She glanced up at a rustling of the den entrance to see an apprentice walking through, looking equally as bored. Pinekit wondered for a second if she should go toward him or not then, taking a deep breath, padded over. “Aye mista! Wanta pway?” She chirped as she neared, hoping her voice was loud enough for him to hear.

[Undertaker]

Beastspark was half surprised to see the clan was pretty calm, he's gotten way too used to the crazy annoying stuff they pull and that happens when Icestar usually holds meetings. Anyway, back to the problem.

"Icestar is fine and well," he meows before any questions could arise about their dark leader, "I'm just here to make a quick announcement. Nettlespark and his apprentice, Cowpaw, found a strange twoleg trap. Call them what you want, but I call them Jaws. Twolegs place them on the ground and often hide them to help them hunt. Some have teeth others do not, but they all have this round thing in the middle I call a tongue, touch that in the slightest and the trap snaps shut. Once it's shut it's nearly impossible to open again without help. " Beastspark's fluffy tail lashed behind him as his eyes scoured the gathered clan to ensure each and every one of them was paying attention to him.

"They're powerful enough to snap a limp right off whether it be your tail or your leg. Get your neck stuck in there and you are dead." Beastspark could easily see a clan leader losing all nine of their lives to these Jaws. "They are extremely dangerous, however, they don't bite more than once. If you touch the middle with a stick or really anything that isn't yourself, it closes and becomes relatively harmless." A cat could still harm themselves if they were being stupid... Beastspark prayed he didn't send out any halfwits today.

"With that said, I need some volunteers to sweep the whole territory and make sure there are no more traps around. If you do happen to find any more, get them closed without harming yourself. If you're worried about stepping on them drag a stick around with you, use it as a guide so you know where to step, and make sure you keep your distance when they snap, they're known to jump." The deputy fell silent as he waits to see if any clanmates are willing to risk limb and life on this dangerous endeavor.

[Note: This will be the start of a kidnap and rescue plot I'm doing. Those of you who volunteer your cats and are picked will be getting kidnapped by twolegs. Those of you who want to be kidnapped and aren't picked can still get kidnapped. I will explain how in Beast's next post.

Kit is the only rank I'm not allowing to get kidnapped for this plot.

Please keep in mind that there will be a rescue and that cats will be needed for that, ShadowClan will also be working with WindClan for the duration of the rescue.]

"i wanna come!" she exclaimed enthusiastically, literally jumping to her feet. maybe she could finally get away from bravedawn! wow, this was a 2-in-1 deal; she'd possibly get away from that 'warrior' for a split second, that insufferable cat, AND she could prove she was amazing. she couldn't let this chance go.

duskblossom volunteered herself as tribute as well. "i'll goo!!" she was tempted to continue talking, rambling, mumbling, but she knew that all she had to say was 'i'll go', so she shut up. she stole a glance around, looking for fleapaw. she's amazing at hunting but i really hope she doesn't accidentally die.. knowing her, she's going to be way too happy about accidentally getting a limb snatched off because it would make her look like the best apprentice for making such a huge sacrifice to the clan, she thought.

A large dark brown molly rolled her eyes, a little annoyed at seeing Beastspark up there but was always willing to help ShadowClan in any way possible. "I'll go." Dawnstripe added her voice to the cries.

Bravedawn tilted her head. Of course it was Twolegs. It was always Twolegs. Whether it be their monsters, their dogs or these strange Jaws, as Beastspark liked to call them, it was always Twolegs.
She got to her paws and weaved her way to the front of the crowd. Might as well help, she figured. "I'll do a sweep," she started to say, and then flinched as Dreampaw practically shot up and yelled. Her first instinct was to be annoyed and to tell Dreampaw to go sit back down because she was being stupid and empty-headed like always, but she paused. Huh. Actually, maybe Dreampaw wasn't half as worthless as she'd thought if the young apprentice was volunteering for a task this dangerous.
She moved to stand next to her and flashed a rare grin down at her, a grin that said she knew EXACTLY what Dreampaw was trying to do. Tough luck. "Dreampaw and I would love to do a sweep as well," she said.

Fleapaw's tail gave a flicker as she grumbled at the question. “Powerful doesn't mean I know what the deputy is gonna talk about! There's a difference between power and knowing everything , fleabrain.” She said , frowning at Blackpaw. I'll say more! She thought , opening her mouth. However , she quickly shut it once Beastspark had decided to speak up again once most , if not all , of the clan was gathered around. “Shh!” She hissed towards the larger apprentice , despite him not saying anything. She just felt like annoying him.

Listening to the deputy and his little story about a twoleg trap. Hearing people already blurting out that they wanted to check it out , Fleapaw leaped up from where she was sitting. “Me! Me!! I wanna go!” She yowled loudly , louder than needed. She had only been to the Waterbarn! She wanted to go out into the territory and look at these stupid little traps! She would set all of them off and make them totally useless. What about Duskblossom? She hummed. Her mentor may or may not disagree with her words about going out into the territory. But , oh well! This was more experience for her!

I would go to help my clan, she thought. But it's much to risky. Not only do you have a change of getting hurt by the traps,but you also have a chance of being captured by twolegs! She shuddered, knowing that if she got captured, she might never come back.

dreampaw took a moment to process. loading... loading... complete. she sort of understood what bravedawn said, but then again, she'd never fully understood what her mentor said, so half-understanding was as good as any understanding. "the only reason i'm showing attitude is because you've been treating me like a bag of leaves... is that the saying? bag of leaves? wait, no! bag of fleas! you've been treating me like a bag of fleas since the beginning because i was a little sleepy! i'm sorry if i don't have a perfect sleeping schedule. my name is dreampaw, you should know that i'm not going to be the most alert in the middle of the morning!" dreampaw rambled. "but okay, sure," she replied. she had to become a warrior somehow, and bravedawn was... unfortunately, the only way she could continue her training. she wasn't going to switch mentors a third time, unless bravedawn couldn't take her anymore and decided to run away into the sunset. dreampaw stared at her mentor, taking a few steps backwards as she aggressively stared at the warrior.

Cypresspaw padded about the clearing, looking for someone to talk to. She hadn't been doing much lately and was looking for something interesting to do. Sitting down underneath a nearby, she turned towards the apprentice den, hoping the weren't all out training with their mentors or out on a patrol.

Bringing you back to the nursery, Sunfall hissed, setting Skykit down and looking up at Beastspark. My apologies, Beastspark. This mouse-brained kit was trying to get out of camp.

He had a feeling the smaller cat would get into trouble and now that he knew her he felt that annoying responsibility to protect her until she got the hang of things. I hate my life. He thought.

Watching Stagpaw leap into the air after she scared him , she couldn't help but let out a hyena-like laugh. The laugh continued on for a few moments before dying down , focusing on the older apprentice as they spoke up. “I'm bored! So I'm doinh whatever , you were my scaring victim for the day.” She explained. Scaring victim for the day , it wasn't something she did every day. She had just gotten bored and saw her unsuspecting clanmate lounging around. “I couldn't find my mentor , Duskblossom! I was gonna ask her if we could go hunting since I learned how to hunt.” She hadn't learned exactly how to hunt , she just managed to catch that one toad by luck. “She could be in the warriors den..or the nursery..or the leaders den , or the medicine cats den , or in the territory...oh , you get it! She could be anywhere , even at some other clan!” Fleapaw sighed. “I would hate if she was in the nursery though , I don't like kits!” The she-cat complained. It was somewhat funny , since she was barely an apprentice and was close to being a kit age wise. Letting out a long , drawn out groan , she spoke up once again. This time , it was a question directed towards Stagpaw. “What were you doing? Just relaxing?”

[kieryn]

Bringing you back to the nursery, Sunfall hissed, setting Skykit down and looking up at Beastspark. My apologies, Beastspark. This mouse-brained kit was trying to get out of camp. StarClan knows what she was going to try to do, the orange tabby mewed, picking Skykit back off and heading towards the nursery.
[ Undertaker ]

"I'm not mouse-brained you are!!! and for your information I was just gonna wander around the forest some!!! LET ME DOWN" She kicked at him and headbutted his mouth as hard as she could, Her fur bristled as she hissed

[Mango]

Croakingpaw was quick to step up,” Count me in Beastspark. I’d love to help out!” he declared proudly.

[plum]

So this really was about what he'd just relayed to the tom. Nettlespark listens, a frown set on his maw. By the conclusion of Beastspark's talk, his brows had knitted together. A sense of moral duty had begun pressing down upon him. Their deputy was experienced with these traps. And now that his apprentice had shown him how to handle them, so was he. So it felt... Only right to volunteer to help search for these things, and to show his Clanmates if they needed a bit of help. Grimacing, the young warrior lifts his muzzle. "I'll help, too," he says to Beastspark. "If anyone needs a little help safely setting them off, I've just seen how and can show them."

The small apprentice let out a snicker at Blackpaws words. “Uh-huh! Im so powerful , I won't protect just you , but everyone who comes along! Yep yep!” Fleapaw said in what she liked to call a responsible tone , however there was a certain glint in her eyes that almost said 'i might accidentally cause trouble , oops!' without her having to say it. Her ears perked hearing a familiar voice among the clan , looking left and right so quickly that most would assume her brain would be a bit scrambled at that point. Finally , her gaze landed on an older she-cat. Oooh! “Duskblossom! You're volunteering too? You should join mw and Blackpaw , I'll protect both of you.” She called out towards her mentor with another snicker.

Stagpaw huffed, "Well, it wasn't that funny..." they responded. If fleapaw didn't seem so happy, they for sure would've yelled at her. "well, I wish I was out doing something right now." they grunted, their tail tip twitching. "I don't really like kits that much either. But they're ok, I guess" they sighed. Ever since they became an apprentice, they barely even left camp! Honestly, they were getting so bored of the same old same old.

[Puddle~]

Ribbitpaw sat and listened through Beastspark's whole spiel, then began to contemplate whether or not he should volunteer to go. On one paw, it was dangerous. Yet, on the other, it would be a big help to the clan in making sure the territory was safe. But all the mental debating ceased as soon as the young tom heard Croakingpaw's voice pipe up among the many already volunteering. Nope. Nevermind. If he's going, then count me out. Batting an eye, the apprentice simply sat and waited as more and more cats came forward to volunteer, simply ignoring his own slight urge to pitch in as well.

[Exis]

Blackpaw shook his head at her kit-like behavior. Hopefully someone trains that right out of her. He thought. “I’m sure you will.” He said with a slight chuckle.

You want to do it the hard way, huh? Fine, Sunfall snarled, rearing up on his hind legs and letting his grip on Skykit's scruff loosen. Do you still want to deny it? he snarled again when his grip was almost loose enough to let the kit drop.

"do it i dare you" she said bravely but the obvious terror showed on her face, she started remembering what she had to go through when she was a young tiny kit so she closed her eyes waiting for the pain to hit her body when she fell

[dionysus]

[ Undertaker ]

Iciclepaw perked her ears when she heard that cats were going around springing traps to protect the clan. It wasn’t something she’d usually volunteer for, but she figured it would be a good chance to go flower hunting while helping out! All that she had to do was volunteer- which was pretty intimidating. The young feline scooted up the highbranch so that she could speak quieter and still have Beastspark hear her.

“I’m, excuse me, Beastspark? If you are taking volunteers right now, I’d like to help.”

[aspen.]

Amberstrike looked up. "Pick me!" she called. "I'd love to get away from camp for once." Sle glared at the nursery, searching for two kits in particular.

[Splashy]

+ Undertaker +
Whitepaw sat on the thought for a moment. If he went out and messed with the traps, his whole future could be at stake.. but.. He looked around for his mentor, to see if she would volunteer. If she volunteered, she would see him as a coward if he didn't come with. He sighed, and just stayed silent, waiting for his mentor to run-up to the deputy or just yell out that they wanted to participate.

[Quasar]

Sagewhisker stepped forward, "I'll go,beastspark. If he decides to come along, it would be good experience for ashpaw" she explained, her face set and determined.

---

Stagpaw padded forward, eager to have an excuse to leave camp, "Beastspark! Can I go?" they loudly asked the deputy, his tail waving behind him. This was so exciting! If they were chosen to go, then they would make sure to be a huge help!

Sunfall thought for a moment, and shook his head. No kit deserved this. He dropped onto his four paws and clamped his jaws tighter onto Skykit's scruff. You're going to the nursery, he growled.

[Sorrow]

Cypresspaw padded about the clearing, looking for someone to talk to. She hadn't been doing much lately and was looking for something interesting to do. Sitting down underneath a nearby, she turned towards the apprentice den, hoping the weren't all out training with their mentors or out on a patrol.
[ Emberpaw Clone ]
Emberpaw sat down and yawned. What a tiring day. Two patrols and then meeting a Thunderclan apprentice at the border? Too much had gone on today. She shook her head and let out another long yawn. So much for sleep.

[ Mentallyunstable alan ] yusss we must protecc bb flea ;o
dusk is so not helping she's such an enabler lol ;-;

duskblossom got a wave of instant panic, like those times when the teacher calls on you to orally present your project but you don't remember what you wrote about because you were too busy staring at your table. oddly specific--i know, but that was the feeling the warrior got when fleapaw randomly called her name. what was she supposed to say??? encourage her???? discourage herr??? whAT iF shE GOT FLEAPAW KILLED??!! this. this was why she was noT supposed to be a mentor. "ha.. haha. eh," she nervously laughed, taking a few steps towards fleapaw. "yup, protect me!! i think you should focus more on protecting blackpaw and then i'll protect you and blackpaw will protect me and you'll protect me and i'll protect blackpaw! and then it will all be equal and we'll all be protected and protecting and everything will be fuN and none of us will get hurt!" she said, out of breath. duskblossom decided to quickly change the subject to fleapaw's friend, blackpaw. "hii blackpaw, by the way!"

[furrensic]

[ Mentallyunstable // hope honestly think Blackpaw might be more of a struggling big brother figure ]


Watching Duskblossom come over towards the two apprentices , she let out a slow , thoughtful hum at the whole protecting eachother. “Hmm...sure! But I get to do like...a lot of the protecting.” she told , her tone making it quite obvious she wasn't going to agree to anything else. After a few moments of silence , it was like a light bulb lit up above her head. “Alsoooo! Im gonna make these traps useless using my paws , not some boring stick! Because..when I put my paw in the trap , I'll snatch it out so fast , it won't have time to close on my paw!” she explained. Wow , she was smart. Who else could think of such a plan? Surely nobody else could.

[cloudii]

Pebblefall nodded, but didn't want to go. "I have an...well...I have--an apprentice, I cant be putting myself in danger right now. If I see any missed, i'll make sure to close it with a stick, or something." She mewed.

[Cobra]

Squirrelkit stared at her. "Mommy?"
Goldwhisker

[BEAR.]

More traps in the territory?

It was like the breath had been kicked out of his lungs at the memory of when his tail got caught. No amount of fighting it did anything but make it tighter around him. He could not escape..had to chew his way to freedom and leave some of his tail behind in the process. That..

Falcondive could feel the phantom burn of his tail in pain and tucked the shortened limb close to him. He was visibly uncomfortable with the thought of the traps but too wrapped up in his panic to volunteer.

.. So instead of hanging around, he quietly left the crowd to vanish into the warriors' den.

[ open for anyone who's not volunteering, this should be moved to the warriors' den ]

Noticing another apprentice sitting not to far away, she padded over and sat down. "Hello, I'm Birchpaw", she said, wanting to start a conversation.

~Splash~

[Exis]

Blackpaw stares at the she-cat in awe, “You have single handedly come up with the dumbest idea in history.” he said looking at Fleapaw. “You should train this crap out of her, maybe a training session with me could give her an idea of how much she actually needs her paws.” He said looking at Duskblossom like a mother scolding a kit and telling them they are disappointed. “How about we stick to sticks and keep our limbs?@ He said turning to Fleapaw again.
alan hope (I agree with that statement, also he needs a chill lmao)

[ BILL. ]

Glidingleaf slipped into the warriors den. She had left the kits in the charge of another queen for a much needed break and now was searching for Flintfreckle to ask him if he wanted to join her. She was determined to be more friendly toward the tom now since she’d not exactly been in the right mind when she started looking after the kits. Instead of seeing Flintfreckle, though, she spotted Falcondive- looking a little sick if she interpreted his expression correctly. Glidingleaf hesitated, having never spoken to the tom before, but decided to try her luck in checking in with him. She wasn’t in the mood for any crap though so he had better not try her.

“Hey, Falcondive- have you seen Flintfreckle around?”

[BEAR.]

He felt like he could not breathe as he sank into the familiar structure that was his nest, sides heaving from hyperventilation as he snapped his eyes shut and buried his muzzle in his paws. Falcondive did not understand what had fallen over him but the traps had put him in the throes of panic, an insatiable fear that he would get caught again if he left camp in the near future.

His tail stung like fire, an echo of the old injury he had received only a couple moons prior. He could not stop the pain, he was not free from the silver trap. It was looped around him and tightening forever; he would always be snared by it.

In the mania of his thoughts, Falcondive missed Glidingleaf's entrance and hardly caught anything she was saying. She was barely recognizable to him. "Check.. crowd," he managed to wheeze out, struggling with the short sentences between his attempts to breathe. The meeting was not over, after all...

[ Beau ]

[~RooRoo~]

Beastspark was half surprised to see the clan was pretty calm, he's gotten way too used to the crazy annoying stuff they pull and that happens when Icestar usually holds meetings. Anyway, back to the problem.

"Icestar is fine and well," he meows before any questions could arise about their dark leader, "I'm just here to make a quick announcement. Nettlespark and his apprentice, Cowpaw, found a strange twoleg trap. Call them what you want, but I call them Jaws. Twolegs place them on the ground and often hide them to help them hunt. Some have teeth others do not, but they all have this round thing in the middle I call a tongue, touch that in the slightest and the trap snaps shut. Once it's shut it's nearly impossible to open again without help. " Beastspark's fluffy tail lashed behind him as his eyes scoured the gathered clan to ensure each and every one of them was paying attention to him.

"They're powerful enough to snap a limp right off whether it be your tail or your leg. Get your neck stuck in there and you are dead." Beastspark could easily see a clan leader losing all nine of their lives to these Jaws. "They are extremely dangerous, however, they don't bite more than once. If you touch the middle with a stick or really anything that isn't yourself, it closes and becomes relatively harmless." A cat could still harm themselves if they were being stupid... Beastspark prayed he didn't send out any halfwits today.

"With that said, I need some volunteers to sweep the whole territory and make sure there are no more traps around. If you do happen to find any more, get them closed without harming yourself. If you're worried about stepping on them drag a stick around with you, use it as a guide so you know where to step, and make sure you keep your distance when they snap, they're known to jump." The deputy fell silent as he waits to see if any clanmates are willing to risk limb and life on this dangerous endeavor.

[Note: This will be the start of a kidnap and rescue plot I'm doing. Those of you who volunteer your cats and are picked will be getting kidnapped by twolegs. Those of you who want to be kidnapped and aren't picked can still get kidnapped. I will explain how in Beast's next post.

Kit is the only rank I'm not allowing to get kidnapped for this plot.

Please keep in mind that there will be a rescue and that cats will be needed for that, ShadowClan will also be working with WindClan for the duration of the rescue.]

[ BILL. ]

Falcondive’s response gave her all the clues she needed to know that he was struggling- or his voice did. Glidingleaf hurried to his side and, ignoring the rules of usual interaction, lay down beside the tom she didn’t know. She lightly touched his fur and tentatively stroked it, checking to make sure she wasn’t making things worse.

“What’s on your mind, Falcondive? I’m the only other cat here- it’s safe.”

She didn’t want to pressure him into speaking about what was affecting him so heavily, but it would be helpful to her to know what he was up against and what she was trying to distract him from. If he couldn’t answer, that was fine- there were other ways to calm a cat down.

[~RooRoo~]

Squirrelkit stared at her. "Mommy?"
Goldwhisker
What?!? Mintheart scolded. I’m sorry. Just-just... what? she asked sweeter.

[cloudii]

Pebblefall padded into the warrior's den. "Oh..hey Falcondive, I guess you aren't going either. I have to be there for Croakingpaw.." She meowed, then sat down in her nest. "Jaws..." She thought, and shuddered. "So-sorry if this is annoying but...are you alright...you look spooked." Pebblefall said, she had seen his expression in the clearing. She shuffled her paws, hoping he would growl, or do anything...mean? Well... it wouldnt be his fault, she was probably being annoying anyway.

His eyes widened. It was the trees blocking the sky? he peered up again, his brows furrowed forwards in concentration. Oh they were right! "So... it is bigger, but the trees don't wann let us see?" He whined out, scrunching his little nose ans whiskers up. "The trees are mean..."
"Nah, I don't think they mean to." She murmered as she glanced back up at the sky, a fondness for the young tom growing.
"The sky is awfully pretty, the trees just want to see, too. They don't realize they keep us from it." That was the story she grew up with. That trees used to smaller than everything, but their love for the sky and desire to see and touch it allowed them to grow, surpassing what once blocked their sight.

Sunfall trotted back over, sitting down and calling to Beastspark, May I come?

[Star child]

Bubblekit tilted his head. Jaws? "Do they look exactly like jaws?" He questioned aloud.

Noticing another apprentice sitting not to far away, she padded over and sat down. "Hello, I'm Birchpaw", she said, wanting to start a conversation.

~Splash~
Emberpaw narrowed her eyes and flicked her tail in annoyance, Birchpaw, huh? I thought you were Cypresspaw, she muttered, rolling her eyes. What do you want? I'm not up for a training session. Too exausted.

[duCky]

"I am Cypresspaw", she exclaimed, embaressed. "I just wanted someone to talk to, that's all." She sighed, trying to think of an interesting topic of conversation. "Have you been to a gathering before?", she asked, knowing that she would probably be going to one soon.

(I meant to say Cypresspaw xD)

[Undertaker]

Beastspark could see that some of his clanmates were taking this seriously while others appeared to think it was game. It made it easier for him to pick who would be going and who would be staying. His attention is drawn to Skykit as Sunfall catches the kit. He left it along seeing as Sunfall seemed to have it handled.

"Nettlespark [ implimm ], Bravedawn [ Slushie ], and Dawnstripe. You three seem to have your heads screwed on straight, I'll leave you three in charge of the sweep. Nettlespark has the most experience with the Jaws at the moment, so if you have problems turn to him for help." He ordered glancing at the three cats before assigning them, members.

"Nettlespark, you can take Iciclepaw [ Beau ], Magpiepaw [ Fallen One ] and Sunfall [ @~Splashy~ ] with you." He assumed Nettlespark could handle them. Iciclepaw seemed pretty calm and although Magpiepaw was a bit on the excited side, Beastspark figured with Sunfall at Nettlespark's side they could handle it. The deputy could understand apprentices wanting to prove themselves, but some of them were a little too excitable. They did understand that they could lose their limbs, right?

"Dawnstripe, take Frecklepaw [ Mentallyunstable ] and I'm debating on allowing Duskblossom [ hope ] and Fleapaw [ alan ] to go with you. A flea brain who seems to want to do the exact opposite of what I instructed doesn't seem fit for the job let alone the rank of apprentice." A loud hiss could be heard as the deputy snarled at both Duskblossom and Fleapaw. "If you want them, take them, otherwise leave them behind." Both mentor and apprentice seemed to have some screws very loose, Duskblossom appeared to be a nervous mess and Fleapaw was just a straight-up idiot. Why had Icestar paired these two together? If this continued he might have to talk to Icestar about either sending Fleapaw back to the nursery for a few more moons or finding her a new mentor. These two were going to get themselves killed.

"Bravedawn, if you want your apprentice you may take her along with Mudfern [ Terrestrial ], and Croakingpaw [ Zesty Mango ]." Yet another group he was uncertain about, Bravedawn would make sure they would come back with their legs and tails attached right? It was a little hard for him to tell with her. Spotting, Irisflame's apprentice, Echopaw, he wondered if he should ask her to prepare some herbs just in case.

"The rest of you should wait in the camp until all three patrols return from their search." As much as he would like to order everyone to remain in camp, Beastspark didn't see that ending well. If cats wanted to leave after his warning it was their limbs and lives they were risking. "Bravedawn, Nettlespark, Dawnstripe, once you patrols get the traps close try and get rid of them however and where you can or the Twolegs will just set them up again in the territory." Beastspark was still feeling uneasy but shook the feeling away as he jumped off the highbranch. "That is all, meeting dismissed."


[ There will be animal traps, the one used for live trapping, found in the territory, for whatever reason the cats will be drawn to the bait in them and trapped inside the cage.

Fleapaw narrowed her eyes towards Blackpaws at his comment about her idea and about training. “My ideas are smart. And no! No more training!” She huffed. She would train later , but later later. Like , in a few sunrises! Not now! Not tomorrow! Learning was dumb! “I won't lose my paws. Im as quick as a Windclan cat!” She disagreed , tapping her paws against the ground quickly in an attempt just to prove her point.

At Beastspark speaking up again , the she-cat quickly shut her mouth as she waited to hear her name be called to go out. Something like 'I'm sending out the strongest apprentice , Fleapaw , out into the territory with her mentor and the other apprentice , Blackpaw.' Instead , she heard the deputy tell another cat that they could taker her and Duskblossom if they wanted. And insult the both of them. Fleabrain!? Doesn't seem to fit the job or the rank of an apprentice?! The tabby repeated the older toms words in her head. She couldn't help but feel extremely annoyed and slightly offended. Fleabrain..was used as an insult to call people stupid!? She wasn't stupid!

“Well!!” Fleapaw spat , smacking her paw against the ground in an angry manner. “Duskblossom! He called me STUPID!!” She complained , looking towards her mentor. But , who could blame Beastspark? Fleapaw honestly didn't seem like the smartest person with her reckless words that she never thought out completely. Dawnstripe and Frecklepaw better take me and Dusky! She thought while hissing small words to herself. If they didn't...then she'd do something else!! Something cooler than checking out some stupid twoleg trap!! Looking to Blackpaw , she spoke up. “Did you hear him? I wasn't hearing things
, right? He said he was debating? Not saying yes.” She whispered lowly.

Sunfall hissed and set Skykit down. Go to the nursery and stay there, he orderd, giving the kit a stern and menacing look. Go to the nursery...now, he repeated in a whisper.

Croakingpaw gave a nod,” Don’t worry I’m not a stupid apprentice, I won’t get in trouble or fall into the trap.” he reassured the two warriors. He wanted to help his clan as much as he could. Wow Ribbitpaw must be a coward not volunteering...what a shame... he thought.

Magpiepaw’s jaw dropped, And he gave a small bounce of delight. Finally! A chance to prove himself! Covering a cough, he bounded over to the cats he had been assigned with.

The Tom wasn’t exactly social, so he only knew most of the by name. He’d heard pretty good things about Nettlespark, though none made sense to him. Magpiepaw had never met the cat, after all. “Hiii! You guys ready to go save the clan?” He struck a pose, though the threat of losing some limbs still hanging in the back of his mind. What truly would happen? Magpiepaw hoped that if he would get caught by one of the jaws, it would be by doing something heroic. Like Icestar! Another excited bounce, and he began to study the other members of the patrol.
They seemed ....mixed..... Great variety, though! As long as Magpiepaw didn’t become a black sheep or whatever, he would be fine! Mission, here he came!

Along with the other members of the patrol, of course.

Sunfall turned and let out a screech of terror. Skykit! He stared up at the deputy, Beastspark, with a look that said, Perfect time for this, sarcastically. Skykit! he called again, his face twisted in horror and fear for the kit.

dreampaw groaned. bravedawn had just complETELY sABATOGED her master getaway plan! this was supposed to be her mentor-free vacation, where she could emerge a hero, not a parent-teacher-like conference where you're just standing there awkwardly listening to the adults talk. she was still hoping bravedawn took her along though. she begrudgingly looked up to her mentor, smiling through gritted teeth. "great job, beastspark thinks you have a brain! how special!" she murmured, but she kept her mouth shut for the most part so that bravedawn wouldn't throw her into the--what had he called them? jaws. she didn't have a death wish.

// alan oof dusky's ego just got hURT

duskblossom gave beastspark a weak, passive-aggressive smile. "shhh, fleapaw. you have really amazing ideas, but they're too dangerous for most cats, which is why we can't do them! like, see, if you're too busy talking to me and not paying attention, you could accidentally get your paw snapped off, and we don't want you to lose a limb accidentally! beastboy beaststrike didn't mean anything by it," duskblossom whispered quietly to her apprentice. "and he didn't call you stupid! he just said fleabrain! okay, i know that sounds bad, but he probably just meant it as a pun on your name, y'know? like, your name is fleapaw, so fleabrain could be like a nickname! yeah!" she muttered. she mouthed to the deputy that she was trying the best she could. it was fleapaw, after all. there was no use fighting against her personality. the warrior was still confused though; they were debating whether to have duskblossom and fleapaw on the sweep, so did that mean they were in or out? "if you let us go, i promise i won't let fleapaw die," duskblossom said, glancing over at her apprentice.

No! A monster! That was what he was! An evil monster! Beechkit was useless as Foxbite ripping into her brother as if he was a mouse. The site was sickening. "NO EATING HIM!" She screeched again as the monster started tarring into Snailkit. Her friend too. No... She whimpered to herself.

Her attempt to fight only got the elders attention on her. His bloody teeth and wild eyes frightening. No. No. No. No. No! She didn't want to die! Tears filled up her eyes as she hit the ground. Her breaths coming out quick. "N-NO!" She called out, shacking. Her whole body was quivering, unable to move as a large paw pressed her to the dirt.
A shriek as teeth gripped her tail, pulling it from her body. Pain. Oh so much pain washed over her. Breaths coming out as gasp. It wasn't even done yet... her shivering, pain filled little body was rolled over. A chunk of her belly, then her chest and chin. Pulled from her, leaving gashes that blood just wanted to run away from her.
So much pain! Everywhere! Beechkit couldn't handle it. It wouldn't go away... it burned, stung and ached. The tiny kit pressed her eyes shut, squeezing them so tight it forced tears to run down her face. She didn't want to see what the monster was doing to her. None of it!
Her ear was ripped in half, shortly after her shoulder bit into. The pain almost unnoticeable with the agony she was already in. Like a drop in the ocean of pain that had taken over her body.

Yells... yowls... cats moving around her. Beechkit didn't move at all. Who was even here for her? The little tabby just shivered in a pile of her own blood. Did Whisperkit or Snailkit live? She didn't know... But she wasn't going to open her eyes to see. No. She wanted it all to go away... She hated pain. She hated the monster that tried to eat her! It needed to die!
A tiny whimper escaped her frail mauled body, the effort just added more pain. So much pain... To much... "M..ma..ma…." Beechkit whimpered again still squeezing her eyes shut.

[ @Mentally Unstable ]
Pinekit was met with the toms unsettling, icy stare as he turned his huge head towards her. Being only a few moons old, she was a lot smaller than the huge tom was, and his eyes. Pinekit wasn’t sure why she felt so unsettled by them, but she turned her eyes away, the surrounding cats and nursery walls suddenly seeming much more appealing. Her dark tabby pelt was as smooth as the floor was, she realized dimly. A little side note, she supposed, if she ever needed it that day. The apprentices question brought her out of her daze, making her glance back up at him before looking away once more. ”I don’t know... Badgwer wides or mossball are always fun, I fink.” But her words were feeble and without conviction. She wasn’t sure what she really wanted to do. “You have any bewtter ideas? I’m Pinekit.” The young kit was proud of herself for finally mastering her name, though it seemed that she couldn’t master much else yet.

Whitepaw gave a small sigh of relief at not being chosen, but he quickly thought about what heshould do now that he wasn't allowed to go out and train with his mentor. He sat for a minute, kinda just staring at his paws as he thought. Should he go try and help the medicine cat, ask the deputy for some work, or just go relax around?.

The apprentice had actually surprisingly changed a lot of his attiude, especially in camp. He had very easily figured out he was one of the oldest apprentices, so he had decided he needed to be an example.

Whitepaw let out a sigh. If he was to set an example, he would go up to the Deputy or his Mentor for some work to do. He stood up, semi-reluctantly and padded up to the Deputy.

"Mr. Beastspark, sir. May I have some work to do? I want to set a good example for the apprentices.."The young tom struggled to keep his gaze up to the older and more experienced cat. Was he going to waste the Deputy's time? Or would his eagerness be appreciated? The worried thought process could likely be seen in the Apprentice's face as he kept his head up to look at Beastspark.

--Echopaw--

The silvery she twitched her tail at the thought of the traps. They seemed terrifying and dangerous. She for sure didn't want any cat to die by them. Though, her fears soon came true as an idiot kit named Skykit dashed out of the clearing. And into the territory. She knew first paw the dangers of the forest when she escaped as a kit. With out giving Fawnleap a chance to reply, she dashed out of the clearing, and after the idiot kit.

[Fuzzy]

Oh good, staying quiet worked. Cloudberry watched as Beastspark assigned the cats that would be helping out to patrols. If these flea-brains failed she would have to step in but, for now she was fine staying in camp. "Aye, good luck." She huffed out, tail curling up her relaxed self. If these cats had it under control then she wouldn't have to do anything with Twoleg stuff. She hated those things.

[chaton]

Oh so now they had become a frog carrier? Driftstep was fully onboard with that and the large cat wobbled back and forth as they tried to keep their balance, but while having someone take their weight to one side while already being wobbly and unbalanced while walking didn't exactly help their objective. They were supposed to go frog crushing! Yet it seemed that Fennel was determined to become a frog herself. "Feeeeennnnnnnel, can you croak like a frog?" they questioned, as they then began to actually loose balance with their next step and then crashed completely to the side, squishing Fennelhaze under their 6-7kg of wonderful body. "HA! You squish!" they laughed. This was just too ridiculous. Who went frog crushing with your friend who could barely walk properly? Fennelhaze apparently and it was Driftstep themselves who'd suggested it. Well they never claimed to be particularly smart of mind did they? Had they gone ahead and claimed that before? "I Neveeer said this was saafeeee Feeeneeeell!"


Fennelhaze could hardly believe Driftstep actually agreed with this. They already had trouble walking, yet were completely willing to carry her off to... wherever you found thsoe frogs at? This was wonderful! At least, until Fennelhaze suddenly felt herself plummet to the ground, soon crushed by her heavy friend. "Ack!" The she-cat had more to say, but was quickly cut off by the lack of breath. Luckily, though her small frame makes her more susceptible to being crushed, it also makes it easier to squeeze out of tight spaces. Unsheathing her claws, the ginger-white she-cat gripped the ground, slowly pulling herself out from under Driftstep. "See? I'm fine! This happens at least once a moon!" Fennelhaze laughed, slapping her tail on the ground for emphasis. "Those frogs won't see it coming! I don't think I want to be a frog anymore though, getting crushed once is enough for today." With that said, Fennelgaze prodded Driftstep with a paw, urging them to get back to their paws. There was no time to waste! While she couldn't ride in style, she was still excited. Normally she was the one being crushed, but now she'd get to do some crushing of her own. "Oh Driftsteeeeep!" Fennelhaze cooed, a smirk plastered on her face, "Let's plaaay a game! Whoever crushes the least froooogs... has to... has to... jump into a pond!" There couldn't possibly be any downsides, right? It would just be a fun game where the loser gets soaked!

(I apologize for Dawn, she's a piece of work.)
Dawnstripe did not want to take two apprentices and a warrior who could barely control her apprentice. They'd all just get in her way. Hearing Fleapaw's whines all the way from the back, Dawnstripe cringes. Stalking forwards, the huge she-cat pushes her way through the crowd to stand before her supposed patrol.

"Normally I'd like anyone who gets under the behemoth's skin, but you two really are a lot to handle." Dawnstripe sneered, wondering what her mother had been thinking with this lot. "You two can come with me and Frecklepaw. However, disobey any of my orders, annoy me, or worse upset me and I'll personally stick you in the Jaws myself. ShadowClan doesn't need dead weight like you two weaklings weighing it down." This molly did not pull her punches when it cames to morons making her clan look bad.

"Frecklepaw, let's go." She snapped at the quite apprentice, a little disappointed that Blackpaw wasn't coming with. At least he had some common sense more than these dingbats.
Splashy
Beastspark felt his hackles rise as Skykit darts out of the entrance. Why can't anyone listen?! Huffy, the deputy starts to go after the kit, though watches as Echopaw darts ahead of him. Irisflame would most likely chew him out if she got caught in a trap. How did Icestar deal with this stuff? Before he could reach the entrance, Whitepaw steps in front of him asking for working.
"Actually, I do have a task for you. Can you go and check on Echopaw and Skykit for me?" He would have done it himself but he was worried about leaving the camp unattended. "They just left, shouldn't have gotten far, I just need to know if I have to go get them or not?"

Iciclepaw smiled when she was called to join. This was great! She would be able to find plenty of new flowers and help the clan at the same time! Plus, this must mean that Beastspark believed in her a little bit! It was nice to be believed in. Iciclepaw saw Magpiepaw moving and followed him to who she assumed was Nettlespark and another cat she didn’t know. The shy molly didn’t speak, letting Magpiepaw do the talking, and merely smiled kindly at all of the other cats.

A newborn kit lay alone in a large, cold nest. She was all alone, with no one to call her family. Her eyes weren't even open yet. she let out a small mewl, attempting to lift her small head. Her stomach rumbled, and she needed food, and quick. Usually, a kit her age was plump and well fed, but her cheeks were slightly sunken in.

Citrusflower was laying in her nest when she heard a kitten crying. The molly stood up and stretched before making her way over to the kitten. She glanced around to see if she could scent the mother, but there was no one. The eyeless calico she-cat padded closer to her and laid down beside her. "It's okay little one I've got you.", she purred, giving the kit a calm lick to it's head.

Beastspark was pleased to see that the patrol had brought in a decent haul. "Excellent work," the deputy praised, "ShadowClan will be eating well thanks to your hard work." He can't help but laugh as Blackswift brings over a duck. ShadowClan didn't get many of those so it was no wondered the tom had no clue what type of bird it was. "I believe those are more RiverClan prey then ours." He nudged his nose at the webbed feet. "It must have wandered into our territory may be confused." Beastspark meowed, uncertain but that could be why it attacked Blackswift. "Still, prey is prey, it's a very good catch and will fill quite a few bellies. Great work."

duskblossom squinted her eyes at frecklepaw; he had no right to say anything. dawnstripe, she could understand; dawn was in charge of this group, so naturally she probably wouldn't want anyone stupid going along with her, but frecklepaw was just an apprentice, and he was just as annoying as... urm.. fleapaw could be. at least fleapaw was enjoyable, though! she'd rather have a cat with personality rather than a dead, stone-cold, annoying, insufferable, i'm-better-than-you-haha-mentality machine with a tough-guy appearance who had the personality of three clumps of dirt! frecklepaw wasn't even that cool! he didn't have any right to criticize her! HUMPH. "aye aye, dawnstripe," the warrior said in a friendly voice with a somewhat aggressive undertone. she didn't want to anger dawnstripe; dawnstripe was chill; but she was going to have her fun picking at the apprentice.

The young apprentice grumbled at her mentors attempts to comfort her. He totally meant stupid , there was no way she'd let something like fleabrain be her nickname. Ever. "Yeah , yeah.” She huffed , not saying anything at the comment about not letting her die if they were allowed to go. Her gaze traveled to a sudden approaching cat , who was huge. Well , to her , anyway. Her mouth fell open into an 'o' shape as she heard the older she-cat speak. “We can go? Thanks!” She said , ignoring the whole 'stick you in the Jaws myself' thing. So intimidating! Cool! I wanna be cool like that! I mean , I already am , but still!

Hearing the other apprentice speak up , her mood was instantly washed down the drain. Was he insulting Duskblossom? Better not be! Fleapaw thought , standing on the tips of her paws for a moment to seem larger , as if she was trying to be intimidating. “Come on , Duskblossom , let's go!” She said , trotting after the other two cats.

Nettlespark feels himself almost relax when Beastspark looks at him and announces he'd be one of the cats to help. Good, I can show them how it's properly done... His eyes slide over to the others who were named then, and his relief fizzles away. Sunfall was dealing with... Whatever that commotion was, involving a kit with a death wish. Magpiepaw was too excited. At least Iciclepaw seemed tolerable, and lax. His lips draw thin into a line, and he stands to go and greet the patrol. "Sunfall, your attention, please. Don't volunteer if you have other things to do," the tom says to him.
"Magpiepaw, my apprentice very nearly lost his life earlier had he not recognized one of the traps we're going to be looking for today," Nettlespark snaps. He'd had to rack his brain for the silly tom's name. His eyes flit towards the she-cat who remained silent. "Your denmate seems to have a better head about it than you do. We're doing our part for our Clan, yes. But you can't go prancing around the forest as if you're already a hero." His tail lashes irritably once before he seems to calm down. He'd embellished the truth about Cowpaw to hopefully frighten this rambunctious tom, and he still wanted it to work. But he couldn't go about filling their heads with dread. "We'll step out of camp to give everybody else some space. I want to show you guys how to handle these traps."

"It's okay little one I've got you.", she purred, giving the kit a calm lick to it's head.

The small she-kit whimpered and pressed her body against the strange mound of fur that was curled around her. It was... strange feeling, to say the very. The small white and cream colored she-kit let out another mewl, though it was quieter this time. Eventually, she calmed down, her tiny nose pressed against the unknown mound of fur.

[Sweetie]

The small calico was sleeping peacefully when a cold object was suddenly thrown onto her face. Jumping up in shock Duskpaw looked around wildly before her large emerald eyes fell upon her mentor who was smirking. Frowning on her delicate features the apprentice echoed her mentor. "Brat? I'm a Brat in your eyes?" Soft voice asking to not disturb her sleeping clanmates.

Freezepaw turned to watch Birchflower for a moment as the elder struggled to tear some moss from the clump, the diluted she-cat's ears flicking before turning back to her own work. If Birchflower was so insistent on helping her, then that is what Freezepaw would let her do. It wasn't her fault if Birchflower ended up exhausted or something. "Yeah, because I'm sure every apprentice wants to be known for being the best at cleaning the elder's den. What an accomplishment." The apprentice scoffed, moving away and turning to work on the last nest at the back of the den, her back now facing Birchflower. Though as Birchflower spoke again, Freezepaw stiffened up slightly. This elder sure was being blunt. That was Freezepaw's job though, wasn't it? What was that thing her brother always told her...? She could dish it out but not take it? Yeah, she was pretty sure that this is what that meant. With a small huff, Freezepaw cracked one of the twigs poking out of the nest she was working on between her teeth, spitting the splinters out before turning back to Birchflower. "Cats my age are focusing on nothing but getting into trouble, being annoying, flirting, and training. In that order." The young female meowed, narrowing her eyes slightly, before shaking her head and padding past Birchflower, back to the moss pile that had significantly dwindled in size. "I prefer to think of myself as being.... above those things. Not to sound egotistical or anything but I just have my mind focused on gaining more than friends and relationships." Freezepaw grabbed the last bit of moss, padding back over to Birchflower's nest. She then straightened up the moss, adding more padding within it here and there. Birchflower's job hadn't been a bad one, but it was definitely messy, and Freezepaw wasn't going to get in trouble for a job not done well. Even if she hadn't been the one to do it, her mentor would think it was her. She'd get in more trouble for having let an elder do it themselves, so she couldn't say that Birchflower had done it. "I'm just trying to look for the better things that life has to offer, that doesn't include having to succumb myself to the mess that is social interaction." Freezepaw meowed, stepping back and turning to look at Birchflower, her yellow-orange eyes narrowed.


Birchflower was about to object to Freezepaw's redoing of her work, but she decided to keep quiet. It was clear to her that the apprentice had more on her mind than she would ever be willing to let on. She didn't need more stress. What she could comment on though was Freezepaw's rejection of the idea of friendship. That was no good. What could she say to convince the apprentice, though? It was clear nothing previously said was doing much good... maybe a friendlier approach was needed. Birchflower didn't often try to warm up to other cats, but Freezepaw... almost certainly needed some warmth. From many different cats. It seems that other apprentices just wouldn't do though.
"Alright. Apprentices aren't your only option, though. You can always attempt to befriend some warriors? They're generally a bit more mature and experienced, and might even be able to help you out with your training from time to time." Birchflower yawned, resting back in her nest. Her muscles were aching from what little she did. Turning back to Freezepaw, the white tabby narrowed her eyes a bit as she dropped into thought. Maybe she could prove herself useful even. "I know initiating with an adult probably seems daunting, I've been there. If you want, I could introduce you to a few of the more... serious warriors within our clan. I think you'd get along well with some of the ones who aren't obnoxious. Would you be interested in that?" Pausing to take a breath, Birchflower took the time to make herself cozy before continuing. Shutting her eyes, she meowed once again, now facing away from Freezepaw. "I know you said you don't want social interaction... but the truth is, you can't go your whole life without it. You'll get lonely and won't be able to be productive. But, if you insist, even after all this, that you don't need it... then I'll just leave you be."

[Madelaine]

The small she-kit whimpered and pressed her body against the strange mound of fur that was curled around her. It was... strange feeling, to say the very. The small white and cream colored she-kit let out another mewl, though it was quieter this time. Eventually, she calmed down, her tiny nose pressed against the unknown mound of fur.

Citrusflower felt her press against her and she purred even louder. "My name's Citrusflower and I'm gonna be your mother from now on.", she meowed. The molly began to think of some names for her new little precious bean. She noticed that her fur looked like Milk. "I'm gonna name you Milkkit.", Citrusflower meowed in a low whisper and pressed closer to the kitten.

[Quasar]

The newly named Milkkit let out a quiet purr as she felt warmth spread thoughout her tiny body. She heard the weird mound of fur make noise of some sort, but she didn;t really understand what it was saying. she attempted to repeat the jumble of noises, "Cit...wus...fwower..." she quietly mewled, her small paws reaching towards Citrusflower.

Stagpaw huffed, "Well, it wasn't that funny..." they responded. If fleapaw didn't seem so happy, they for sure would've yelled at her. "well, I wish I was out doing something right now." they grunted, their tail tip twitching. "I don't really like kits that much either. But they're ok, I guess" they sighed. Ever since they became an apprentice, they barely even left camp! Honestly, they were getting so bored of the same old same old.

"You should hunt toads if you're bored!" Fleapaw suggested. From her experience , toads were really hunt to hunt. Well , sorta. They were slimy feeling and fat and just dumb! Probably the dumbest prey alive other than fish. Blegh! "Kits are sooooo loud!! So annoying too , some of them just get sick and cry and some of them don't know how to mind their own business." She said rather bluntly , having no problem indirectly insulting kits even though a few that might be wandering around could possibly here her. "You could also jump over rocks! Or onto them. Some of them are sharp though, I haven't done it before , but I've thought about it." She explained. And thank starclan she hadn't tried it before , or any of her other ideas. It was likely that if she did , she probably wouldn't be there , alive , right now. "Or.." She leaned in , speaking in a whisper. "You could sneak in one of the older cats dens! Like the warriors den , or the elders." She told.

Foxwhisperer poked his head in the apprentice den to only find out that his apprentice wasn't in there. Huh... Now the tom was alert and suspicious, it was not too early in the morning but what could an apprentice do this early in the day? Steel eyes now roamed the clearing and they were being very thorough.
The dark crimson warrior almost didn't recognize Magpiepaw with how skinny he was and the... hints of vomit that was dripping on his whiskers. He stood there for a good few heartbeats before padding to the younger tom with concern written across his face.
Then the stench hit him, his apprentice was sick. The scent clung to the apprentice as well the vomit moss ball next to his pads. Steel silver eyes looked at the group up and down before turning to the young tom's gaze. "What happened?" Slow and the deep rumbling voice asked.

Citrusflower smiled and felt her heart swell with a warmth. "Yes that my name's Citrusflower and yours is Milkkit.", she meowed, giving her a couple more licks on the head. She was just so precious.

[BEAR.]

He was choking on nothingness, his state worsened by what felt like several cats in his presence. Falcondive felt choked, to the point where his chest ached and a wave of nausea swept over him.

He was not okay. Not in any sense of the word-- his mind was frozen with his panic about the traps but he felt like he could not formulate more words, only short wheezes as he struggled to breathe. He was trapped, and perhaps that was the worst part of it all.

Glidingleaf's comfort did little to help him-- at least, not yet while he was in the throes of an attack-- wild eyes dancing around the three cats before he shut them tightly. He didn't want to be like this. He didn't know how to get out of it. He felt.. weak and he hated it. The eyes on him were almost as worse as the traps awaiting to snap their fangs on him.

Flintspot looked at the frozen solid cat before him and he sighed. The grey calico sat down, and tilted his head, "Falcondive?" He put his left upper paw on the other warriors paw, "Falcondive, we're your clan mates, we stand together, even in a frozen like fear!"

GRRRRRRR.

Foxbite snarled when he was torn away from his meals, hardly processing Stormfly's claws in his damaged shoulder, and he twisted with the intent to throw Stormfly to the ground. If it worked, he planned on plunging his fangs into her shoulder and ripping away a chunk of her tasty, tasty flesh.

Stagpaw's blow to his side did little to knock him over now that he had regained his balanced, and he aimed a swat their way. He was more focused on the queen who attacked him, now moving to try to snap his teeth down onto Stormfly's leg. Anything he could grab at this point. With his head facing Stormfly, Stagpaw's slash missed his muzzle and he hardly noticed their presence with the queen that was actively trying to fight him.

Oh, how he'd love to get ahold of that belly of hers.. and feast on more kittens today. Despite his feeding, he still felt hungry.

This was a nightmare; the blood, the pain, the blood, the shouting, oh lord the blood. There were adults here now, finally. But where had they been before? where had they been when Whisperkit had first screamed, when they all cried for help? Where had they been?

Snailkit squirmed, his vision blurred by the pain as he lay on the dusty floor. Jaypaw, Jaypaw, Jaypaw. Their voice, Snailkit wanted to focus on their voice but the cries of the third kitten rang through the air.

"BEECHKIT!" Snailkit would scream at the apprentice, now behind him. For a moment, he dared look down at his paw. Oh his little beans... they were gone, all of them.

His stomach was turning, bubbling with disgust. Oh god, he was going to be sick.

Glidingleaf frowned as two more cats appeared in the den and crowded around Falcondive. In her experience that was a sure fire way to make things worse- and sure enough Falcondive was unable to answer her. She saw his eyes flying from cat to cat and she knew he was stressed. Speaking gently to the others as they tried to help, Glidingleaf suggested,

“Maybe we shouldn’t crowd him right now. We don’t want him to feel claustrophobic or panicked by the eyes on him. I don’t thing there’s anything that all three of us can do for Falcondive at the moment.”

Crowding was probably the worst way to help a cat who was having a panic attack and Glidingleaf could feel her own fur prickle at the presence of a filling den. The molly didn’t want to push anyone out, but someone needed to take control and keep the atmosphere as calm as possible to help Falcondive.

Sunfall glared at the other tom, but kept his cool. What an insult. Hmph. Lets get going, he muttered, stalking over to the enterance/exit of the camp and waiting, Lets go, lazy balls of fluff, Sunfall hissed arrogantly, turning his back.

[Abyssopelagic]

The elder's twisting did little to throw her off and only narrowly avoided most of his snaps towards her shoulder and neck. As Stagpaw joined in the assault, the force of the apprentice's paw colliding Foxbite's head into her shoulder pushed her off enough that the deranged cat was able to sink his jaws into her leg. Panicking, Stormfly flailed, battering towards his face, his eyes, his ears, any soft squishy part of him that'd make him let go.
The flailing twisted her onto her back, wrenching her limb that was still caught in jaws desperate to rip her leg off. She whined as the muscle and nerves strained unnaturally to accommodate the shift, made worse as the teeth tore and shredded each moving piece of flesh.
Her hind legs went up and clawed towards his belly, to rip and tear and push this psychotic cat off of her. Why was no one else coming? Was she really going to be eaten alive with her only chance of help being two scared apprentices and three previously cannibalized kittens?

Seriously? Come back from hunting only to hear some very concerning yowls from the elder's den. Normally the big dark brown gal stayed as far away from there as possible. Elders annoyed her, but today with the sounds and that stench of blood, Dawnstripe decided to go check it out. Logically, finding her mother or the behemoth would be the best but the metallic smell was to intriguing and reminded her far too much of battle.

The large warrior lumbered in and was hit at all once with a scene out of a horror movie. The smell was so strong it was almost revolting to her and made her want to gag, Dawnstripe glanced at all cats in the den and her brain wasn't really able to make full sense of everything. Foxbite, however, apparently had Stormfly by the leg and Stormfly was a queen wasn't she? The molly stopped trying to think and simply sprang into action. She was very meticulous, normally Dawnstripe would simply try using her weight and strength to overpower her opponent. She couldn't be as reckless with a queen at stake and couldn't move as freely in an already croweded den, she didn't want squish anyone.

Seeing as Stormfly was already kicking at the old man's belly and aiming at anything vulnerable, Dawnstripe didn't want to hinder her. With his head lowered and jaws locked on Stormfly, she comes up from behind. Rearing up on her hindlegs, lacking the room to go as high as she'd like, Dawnstripe would go to grab Foxbite in a backward bear hug whether he was kicked off Stormfly or not. Her intent was clear, she'd place one unsheathed forepaw full of talons on the neck adding pressure and hoping to slice through some arteries if possible. The other paw would go for the shoulder wound, Dawnstripe sadistic nature would shine its brightest as her claws wouldn't just scratch.

The claws at the shoulder would gouge, she wanted to tear away the fur, skin, and muscle and expose bone. Finally her mouthful of fangs would go for an eye, she's never tried bitting an eye before, a distracted Foxbite seemed like a good victim to try it on. Dawnstripe wouldn't care if Stormfly's flailing blows accidentally nicked her in quest to pull out an eyeball. These blows would all be well placed, but not time, with only her backlegs holding up her tremendous weight, unbalancing her would be kit's play. Not to mention if the tom jerked around or spotted her before blows reached him. The balancing act was risky, but totally worth it if warrior got what she wanted out of it.

Milkkit felt...happy. She squirmed around a bit, "Mi...wk...wit" she did her best to repeat the jumble of word, and she felt like she did a pretty good job at it. The kit wrapped her tiny paws around Citrusflower's lower leg, a quiet mewl sounding from her.

[Quasar]

Stagpaw saw an opening, and they decided to take it. When they noticed that Foxbite was distracted, they urgently mewed, "It's ok! You're going to be ok!" leaning down, they went to pick up snailkit as gently as they could, and carried him away from Foxbite and the cat's that were fighting against him. they gently laid the damaged kit down and went back to pick up beechkit, and carried her over to where they put Snailkit, and repeated the process with whisperkit. Gently licking each of their foreheads, they mewed, "It's ok. You're safe now"

Brownpelt wandered around the clearing, doing nothing in particular. The boring brown warrior looked around, his neutral grey eyes scanning the cats who were assembling to go on the Jaw-trap patrols. He sure was glad he didn't have to go...

After a quick shake of his pelt, he padded over to the fresh-kill pile. Scenting a vole, he nudged through the frogs, mice, and birds until he found the small body. Picking it up, he carried it to the Highbranch and ate his meal in the shade of the pine.

{Here come's Doe :) }

Doepaw.... Doelight... She didn't know what name to go by, shuffled her paws on the ground. She'd been escorted from the border by Nettlespark? and Rosedapple? Those were their names, if she'd heard correctly. Now she'd been left though, not exactly aware of where they were. She'd been told to go see Beastspark... the vicious Shadowclan deputy she'd heard a lot about during her time in that wretched clan she used to call home. She didn't miss Thunderclan, no matter how disoriented Shadowclan seemed to be for her already. The ground was all soggy it felt like, and it was... strangely soft to walk on. However all the sounds seemed muted, she could barely hear it when other cats walked, and it severely threw the blind warrior? apprentice? off key, having lived her entire life relying on passive echo location in order to move about and locating things... Now the very same thing she was trying to locate didn't make any sounds so she couldn't figure out where they were. It wasn't particularly nice, this meant she would have to focus on her nose more... and she'd never been able to do that. She assumed it was just a matter of adapting but it would surely take longer for her. Finally picking up a scent that seemed to be what Nettlespark and Rosedapple had described her to, she shuffled her paws as she stopped just before bumping into the tom cat. "I'm... I'm... Doelight... Doepaw..." she stuttered. How was she meant to present herself after the hell that had happened in Thunderclan? She didn't want to go by Doelight, it hurt her, but she didn't want to become an apprentice again either. "I seek... to...join... Shadowclan." She didn't exactly know how convinced it sounded with her stutter, but she was trying so far to suppress the urge to just yell her issues with that damned clan she'd left. Would he demand she explained. She didn't know and would just wait and and see.
Thick muscles go tense with built-up power as his broad shoulders stiffen. Beastspark's usually warm green eyes were a little colder as he spots the molly in the clearing. He did not see her come in with any of the warriors and wasn't all that familiar with her. Then again, Beastspark wasn't very good at remembering anyone outside of his clan unless they've made a big impression on him. It took him almost two moons to recall Sootflare's name. The aimless walking confused him making him keep still instead of addressing the she-cat right away. Why was she walking like she - Oh! It seems she really was blind then. A touch of his suspicion leaves his mind and allows him to calm his hunched up form. He watches as her nose twitches as she scents the air and walks in his direction. Fascinated, he surprised that she manages to stop just before her head collides with him.

Closer now, he could smell a ThunderClan on her pelt. Not too fresh but fresh enough, his ears are raised as he listens to...Doe something. She seemed very confused about her name, location, and she stuttered a tad reminding him of Nightpaw. He wasn't really sure how well she'd do in ShadowClan, she seemed far to meek for this clan in opinion, that could change though. Keeping silently, Beastspark stands up, distributing his hefty weight equally while stepping lightly, he padding a wide circle around the she-cat wanting to see if her head or ears would follow him. A test of sorts, one could say.

"That's not up to me, you'll have to speak to Icestar, but she's a little busy at the moment." His deep voice rumbled as he took a seat on Doe's other side. "Who are you? Doelight or Doepaw, asking to join when you don't even know your own name won't leave the greatest impression." His tone was friendly even though she came from a different clan and thus was untrustworthy. "Why do you want to join ShadowClan? Did you do something wrong in ThuderClan?" He verbally poked the blind she-cat, uncertain if Icestar would accept her but would try and vouch for her maybe if she had a good enough reason.

As she had successfully headbutted the tom backwards, Freezepaw moved to shift her stance, hoping to ready herself to pounce on her mentor and unbalance him this time. But Rabbithop was fast, and still being young, Freezepaw wasn't ready for the sudden swipe from him, unbalancing her forepaw right as she had been shifting her stance. The extra unbalance brought her down on her side, a growl of frustration exiting her maw. But Freezepaw was relentless. She wasn't going to give up now. Trying to be as quick and swift as her mentor was being, she would have to be if she wanted to win this fight, Freezepaw used her ground advantage and stuck out her hind leg, using her forepaws to twist herself, aiming to knock her leg straight into Rabbithop's own legs, wanting to completely wipe him out and get him flat on the ground.

[ freezetraining]

Rabbithop felt a flash of satisfaction at his successful move, but was not prepared for the swift response from Freezepaw. He couldn’t help but let out a soft, annoyed growl as his apprentice slid his forepaws out from under him, making his forelegs buckle while his back legs somehow managed to stand upright. Rabbithop let his blacklegs buckle after him and quickly rolled away, jumping to his paws in a heartbeat as he now stood a tad bit farther away from Freezepaw. Rabbithop darted in again, trying to use his speed and wiry frame to his advantage, and aimed to rake his sheathed paws along her side before leaping away. She’s doing well. He couldn’t help but think as he tried to glide by swiftly.

Shimm
There was no denying it now.
Magpiepaw was screwed.
Fluffing out his pelt in a desperate attempt to hide his ribs, though it drained much of his energy, the bony apprentice plastered a sheepish smile across his face. And shook his head in an effort to shake away some of the vomit , not to mention the horrid stench. “F-Foxwhisperer! P-pleasure seeing y-you here! Up f-for some training?“ His voice was tinged with guilt, and shame was written across his face. Magpiepaw could hardly stand, his paws were trembling so much. The moss had been kicked to the side, dirt scraped over to ward of some of the stench. I-I promise, I’m f-fine!” An obvious lie. Magpiepaw could feel tears pick at his eyes, and he tried to hold them back. No disappointment this apprentice life would be, and he wanted to make sure of that.

"Nah, I'm good," he shrugged. He did look a little disheveled, but that could wait. He wasn't a vain cat.

Irisflame grumbled as she heard her name called out, and she stepped groggily out from her den. She toted poppy seeds in an oak leaf, the little seeds sure to do the trick. But really? Work, this early in the morning? Honestly, these Shadowclan cats were doing some stupid things. As she limped over to the tom, she frowned up at him, her eyes narrowing in dissaproval.
"You're not going to die, dum-dum. Have some poppy seeds and get some rest. If you get worse, come and see me." She mumbled tiredly, a long yawn escaping from her maw. She set aside three poppy seeds for the tom, then ushered him towards the warriors den. "Don't try and fly again, would you? Cuts off my beauty sleep." Hah, beauty sleep. As if! She could only get worse at being beautiful from this point...

With assistance from Honeysnake, Falcondive pulled the dog's corpse into camp and left it by the fresh-kill pile. "I will find the other prey," he muttered as he moved away from the dog to head out of camp. "Maybe Beastspark should be aware our two she-cat companions did not hunt." They had passed by the duo on the way back, but both Russetpatch and Emberpaw had not moved very much from where they had left them. It was honestly very frustrating.

No worries, my beauty isn’t contagious!” and neither was his tiny stumpy tail. Sprigroot somewhat... liked to poke it. Rather, he wanted a mate who could poke it. It was stubby, but Sprig couldn’t reach it. He wanted to... poke it? Gosh, what was this train of thought? Fanning it away, he continued the beautiful words streaming from his mouth. “you’re lucky I have such an interesting life,Not to mention tail, I would spend all day here dawdling here with you. I mean, I’m beautifulllllll! You’re... dusk...” the usual prodding he did with other cats. Most of his friends were used to it, they knew he didn’t mean anything to bad.

Venomkit longed for something to do since Snailkit left for a bit. Since she had nothing else to do the calico she-cat sat herself down and groomed herself a bit. She heard a mouse squeak near her but decided that she shouldn't catch it, or atleast try to "But it's so tempting..plus it would be good training"a voice in her head said. She got up and made her way to the mouse, she saw it scamper a bit closer and she decided she might actually be able to catch it. Venomkit kept low and moved a bit closer. While the mouse was turned away she jumped on it focusing her paws on the mouse. She felt something in her paws and looked down. She actually caught it. She looked at the mouse and mumbled "Pouncing on that mossball actually paid off" She got excited and decided to show a queen or whoever that she actually caught something.

Honeysnake dropped the dog in sync with Falcondive and nodded to the other tom as he spoke and left. It was odd that their two companions had been so laisez faire about the trip seeing as it was a deputy issued patrol and had been interrupted by a dog. Seemed like the kind of thing one would pay attention to.

Oh well. The tortoiseshell shrugged and cast his eyes around for Beastspark. Spotting him, Honeysnake made his way over to the large deputy and meowed,

“Beastspark, I’m here to report on the hunting patrol.”

Forestfrost spotted Brownpelt eating under a pine, he didn't have anything better to do so he grabbed a frog from the pile and wandered over to him,
"Pretty weird huh, I mean, twolegs have never been quite this weird before."

Blackpaw stopped and turned to the warrior, “Hello sir. How are you?” He said dipping his head in respect.
Brownpelt took another bite of his vole. "I'm fine, I guess." he turned to see that Forestfrost had sat down beside him with a frog and had already started a conversation. This was exciting. Yay. He flicked his tail. (This is about as much 'excitement' as Brownpelt can handle. He's pretty dull) "And, twolegs are weird. They always have been. Now they're just doing weird things in the forest. What changed?" He took another bite of his vole, chewing slowly.

Blackpaw nodded, Well this is boring. he thought. Just leave. the voice in his head suggested. For once we agree. he thought back. "Excuse me sir but I have to go, I believe the fresh-kill pile is getting low." he said. A total lie, it was pretty well stocked, but he did not like wasting time.
