Drizzle
She/Her

Ah. All of.. Dapplewing's warning made sense now, and it only made Drizzle feel naive and sheepish and rather silly. Oops. Drizzle had been preparing herself, steeling herself to turn around and trek back to her makeshift home - but Dapplewing's last words made her halt in her tracks with slight surprise.

'Don’t want you getting hurt.'

She wasn't. . . Used to being taken care of, or being worried for. In all reality, the only one who'd come close for caring for her was her littermate brother - Seaweed. Outside of direct, immediate family, no other had cared much about her. Offering Dapplewing a grateful smile for something that he had no idea he'd just offered (kinship), the calico molly nodded quietly. "I will. I'll.. remain on the other side of the border next time. ...Thank you, Dapplewing." And with that, the orange, black, and white she-cat wandered off the way she'd come.

Firestream padded out into a clearing and looked around disgusted by the damp ground and fishy smell "Ugh fish what a horrible place this is" she said annoyed as she sat down on a rock and started carefully licking her paw.

"I mean really did Bumblebreak have to send us here we might meet those water loving Riverclan cats!" the pretty she-cat complained between licks as she fluffed her silky fur up against the cold breeze "They lack few brain cells if you ask me I mean any cat in their right mind wouldn't take up the lifestyle of an otter!Don't you agree Sparrowpelt?" she asked softly after her constant complaining.
SuspiciousMindz

Sparrowpelt didn't have much to complain about, unlike his companion, so he addressed the task at hand. Bumblebreak wanted this patrol done and fairly quickly, so that's what they would do. He trekked ahead, coming up to the border and renewing the scent. His gaze drifted towards Firestream as she spoke about the RiverClan cats. "Honestly, swimming is something I'd like to learn. It might seem crazy, but it does give them an advantage we don't have," he spoke calmly, flicking his head, gesturing for her to follow.

Frankly, he didn't care if she participated in marking or not, he was going to get it done either way.

Firestream looked at him faintly surprised "Well if you say so I however have to wish to splash about in puddles" she shrugged as she got up and followed him each step was with high paws since she did not like the muddy ground.

The dark ginger and cream tabby walked up to the border and renewed the scent then turned her dark blue gaze back to Sparrowpelt "Well is that all of them?" She asked signalling with her tail to the border she had just marked.

[SuspiciousMindz]

Sparrowpelt simply gave her a nod. "Well, guess I'll be saving you when you fall into something larger than a puddle then," the tom spoke, referring to fixing her paw just before this patrol. He couldn't help but let out a silent chuckle at her dramatic high steps against the marshy ground.

As they got towards the end of the border, he marked the last spot then looked towards Firestream. "I believe that's it, nothing exciting," the tom spoke. "I'll try to catch something on the way back, the new kill pile needs restocked," he spoke.

However, just as he said that, a mouse shot out from the undergrowth. With lightning reflexes, the tom smacked his paw down hard and the creature was in his claws. His tail waved with delight at this. "Or, they can just fall into my paws like that!" he spoke happily. His gaze looked towards Firestream like a kit looking for approval. "Let's head back before they chew us out for being late," he concluded.

Firestream looked at his catch in surprise before smiling "What luck" she purred approvingly looking impressed before turning her dark blue gaze back to him "Yes we probably should head back Bumblebreak is quite a grumpy cat...not to mention rude..." the pretty she-cat added quietly with a frown but quickly put back on a sweet face "After you" she purred politely.

Nightgaze walked out of the bushes and sat down her bright green eyes scanning the border it had been a few days since she last saw her brother she had been so busy with helping her clan she almost forgot about him but she was here now and she was willing to wait "Mabye he'll bring his she-cat friend today" the small black she-cat thought excitedly she had been eager to meet her brother's newfound love and also wanted to make sure she was right for him she didn't want his heart to get broken.

“I think you keep forgetting that I’m a loner, Bird. I don’t go near clans unless I’m bored or to hear the drama.” The tom said with a shrug, as he began to speak, “ but I suppose that’s nice to know.”

“Sometimes there’s patrols, meetings and fights. You know just small drama. Like how I think, some Thunderclan cats killed some cats in a clan called….I think it’s called Shadowed clan?” He said as he groomed his paw, “but hey I only heard it from some cat when I was hunting. It may not have been true. Most rumors and gossip from loners and rouges are twisted and lies.”

Fox looked at Nightgaze, his pupils with slits, “ Don’t say that, ever again…I don’t care how wrong they did or terrible things they have done or will do. No sibling of mine is bad mouthing anyone. Just as you felt sad for your clan mates that died, imagine how they are feeling knowing they’ll never see their friends or family again!” He hissed furiously, as his fur prickled and his tail flicked and lashed.

“Trust me, Bird I have heard the stories and I am not saying she isn’t as evil as Upwalkers…but that whole clan can not be the same.

Fox looked at the ground, as he had gone quiet.

| 8 moons - he/him - xavier. - Kay~ |

One of the last remaining children of Rainfall, whom had disappeared within the last moon. He was so mad at his mom for missing his apprentice ceremony, but he also felt guilty for that. He hoped his Mama was safe and having fun, wherever she was... Even if it wasn't with him. As he walked, Galepaw wondered. Did she leave because of him? Did she leave because she was so disappointed to have a son who got apprenticed at 8 moons old? He felt tears flood his eyes, blurring his vision and making his heart race. He couldn't hear anything over the sound of the of his heart, and couldn't see anything through his thick tears.

By the time his eyes cleared, the young toms fate had already been sealed. A few too many steps landed him in a churning river, and Galepaw wailed, doing his best to flail his paws to keep his head above water. He started to bawl, and choke on the water flooding his mouth.

I'm sorry, Mama. I'm sorry, Ripple. I've disappointed you all. He let himself slowly sink under the surface, still crying.

he/him

Badass.

That's what he thought he was. Slipping out of Shadowclans camp undetected and making his rounds around the territory he barely knew. Smokepaw didn't even hear the dogs that were present in the territory due to how far he was. Suddenly a scent entered his nose. GROSS. This scent was gross. The newly made apprentice came to realize that this was probably one of the borders of another clan. Smokepaw huffed as he was about to turn around before hearing cries for help.

Smokepaw looked back at the territory of the clan he didn't know the name of. Then gears started to run. Hell! He'd get praise for saving one of their cats!! Smokepaw could make this stupid clan admit Shadowclan was so much better!!

So with that Smokepaw ran over the border and ran to the wails and cries for help. Soon enough the tabby came to a river before spotting another apprentice drowning. Clearly this cat wasn't a Riverclan cat.

"Don't worry!! I'll save you!! No need to thank me!"

Smokepaw said as he ran along the bank of the rushing river. Finally Smokepaw jumped in.

like an idiot.

The apprentice hadn't realized you needed swimming lessons to SWIM. Now they both were in trouble. Smokepaw tried his hardest to get to the tom but before he could the water swept Smokepaw under. Smokepaw fought and fought but couldn't. Smokepaw could see the other apprentice though blurry due to the water they both were under. Smokepaw 'swam' to the apprentice before wrapping his paws around him.

Smokepaw felt... that though under other circumstances.. Maybe him and this apprentice could have been friends. Maybe even more. Though as fate would have it there were other plans for the two.

'Darkfall..'

Was the last thing Smokepaw could think up before he left out his last breath.

TIMESKIP NEXT MORNING


Pumpkinpatch came across the river on her morning stroll. Her eyes scanned across the river,Oh no... The calico warrior frowned as she saw Galepaw and a Shadowclan apprentice had drowned. They appeared to be cuddling in their final moments but she knew it wasn't the case.

Her orange eyes drooped at the sight, it was sad truly sad. Quickly, Pumpkinpatch grabbed them and pulled them the rest of the way out of the water.

"May you both find your place in Starclan," she muttered frowning. She really did wish them the best. But what was a Shadowclan apprentice doing here... Oh he was saving... Galepaw.

The warrior then picked them both up and carried them back to the Thunderclan camp the best she could to make sure they were not forgotten.

Fox looked at the ground, as he had gone quiet.
Nightgaze looked at him guiltily "I-I'm sorry Fox but it's just hard for me to accept that ,I've seen them do some awful things I was raised being told that Shadowclan is the worst clan ever but I'll try not to be so judgemental" she reached out to nuzzle his cheek "But promise me to be careful around them and all other clans some cats will kill the first intruder they see" she said worridly.

- Galebird -

"Nightgaze, would you be so kind as to explain to me what you're doing here, conversing with a rogue?" Galebird's voice was cold and sharp and the silver-furred warrior stepped out of the bushes and Thunderclan's side. The molly had been taking a stroll through the forest when she heard voices from the border. They seemed friendly, so at first she had thought nothing of it, but when she had picked up a few sentences mentioning the recent events in Thunderclan. To be safe she had made her way there, just to make sure no clanmate of hers would spill anything they shouldn't. That was until she picked up the rogue scent.

Now she was here, standing face-to-face with her clanmate and a rogue who apparently was their kin. Galebird had absolutely nothing against clan cats with outside blood in them, she was a former rogue herself, but it was very different from standing here, taking with one on clan territory.

How did she not sense the other warrior it didn't matter now all she could do was try and convince her that her brother was trustworthy and she hadn't told him anything big and Fox was joining Thunderclan it wasn't exactly a lie but not the full truth either.

Fox smiled as he thought, “You will meet her in due time, Bird but-…” His head turned to the molly that had spoke to them, he waited then spoke,“maybe, there will be but if they’re allowing her to see me then they can’t be that mad.” The tom looked at the she-cat with a smile on his face, “well, yes my wonderful sibling is not spilling information, also I may or may not be joining the clan. It all depends on how your clan thinks of me. And I prefer the term loner, rouge sounds like I’ve killed someone or I’ve got ‘the sickness’.” He said with a sassy joking tone.

- Galebird -

Both cats - or siblings, as it seemed - jumped to assuring Galebird that they differently weren't sharing any sensitive information surrounding Thunderclan, but that had hardly been her question (from what she had heard, nothing big had been spilled). Her problem was that firstly there was a no-Thunderclan and no-Riverclan cat here, at the Thunderclan-Riverclan border, and secondly that her clanmate was just sitting here, happily chatting with them.

Galebird scoffed a little when the cat Nightgaze had been talking to tried to correct her on the terminology she was using when referring to them. 'rouge sounds like I’ve killed someone' Images of Darkpetal's death scene, Dovefluff's expression when reporting about it, and all the graves flashed before her eyes as Bumblestar's voice announcing the deaths echoed in her ears. "Well forgive me for being cautious."

"But if you're looking to join Thunderclan you'll speak to our leader or a Keeper, not Nightgaze, and most definitely not here."

The longhair tomcat nodded to his patrolmates before leading them out. It was nice to be out of camp. Once they reached the Smallpines, Wildtwist waved his tail in a halt for his patrolmates. "We'll mark the borders and look for any stray scents. If everything is normal, we'll head back. I just want to get this overwith," he said, muttering the last part to himself.

He waved his tail to Foxflurry and Spiderfoot, letting them know it was okay. He went up to the border and started marking it.

Spiderfoot trotted out after Wildtwist, whiskers twitching. A bit brisk today, and Spiderfoot rarely ventured to this area, so who knows what could happen. Well, at least Wildtwist seemed eager to get this whole thing done, much like Spiderfoot. Seeing the patrol leader begin on the border, the mottled dark brown tom turned and walked along the border to the edge and began to mark it as well.

Get it over with. Stars, she hated patrols. Surrounded by strangers, at least these folks didn't seem to want to talk much. A curt nod was given to the leader before turning to the opposite direction of Spiderfoot, and walking along the other side. That being said, as much as she hated patrols, borders were the better option, so she'd deal with it and her mostly silent companions for now.

"Not that I can tell," Spiderfoot called back, taking a deep breath to make sure he hadn't missed anything. And, just like it was reported, nothing seemed off about the border. Seemed fine, at least to him, and Wildtwist and Foxflurry didn't report anything weird, so it was definitely alright, right? Content, the mottled dark brown tom nodded, eager to get back home.

Everyone finally arrived, Nightspark let out a sight, Mumblepaw was seeming to be someone very annoying.... He let out a small growl, calling her to order, before saying "Alright let's go."

They arrived at the Smallpines, and Nightspark instantly noticed something wasn't like the last time... "ThunderClan marked their borders, and strongly...", he mumbled a short prayer to StarClan, in case something could go wrong, and continued "Scatter, but don't cross the border, if they marked it that strongly, something happened then..."

The scent was strong. So much stronger than before, to the point Mumblepaw gagged at it. Switching to breathing through his muzzle took effort, but it was worth not tearing up at the scent of the Settlement of Storms and Skies. “They seem on the defensive, I would report that to Gingerfrost. It could indicate something about their situation, I’m not sure what the problem is but they don’t want us near and that’s clear enough.” They wanted war, they were going to get it and it was coming probably soon enough. A Settlement making this much of a claim to territory only signifies something was the horizon. Mumblepaw couldn’t help but wonder what Bumblestar was plotting with such a strong scent marking. What was she so protective about?
Upon getting the order, Mumblepaw did as they were told. Making sure to match the other Settlements amount of scent strength. Mumblepaw made sure to also loop back around twice to make sure the scent was strong enough. With the Settlement that Guards the River’s side marked, Mumblepaw made their way back to where the patrol scattered from. Eyes locked on the Settlement of Storms and Skies side. As if a cat was about to leap from a cat and tackle him. One could never do so cautious.

listening to her clanmates discuss the overly strong markers, she went along it, not exactly paying too much attention, Thunderclan, like all the other clans seemed to have a hidden hostility at the gathering, but other than that it didn't seem like too much was off about them.

[Red Dawn]

Nightspark went to a tree and marked, something was off... Why do ThunderClan marked their borders that hard? There must be something happening with them.... He thought, he gave a look at Mumblepaw, making sure the apprentice wasn't crossing by the border not knowing it... He responded "Yeah... We have to report that..."

“They want trouble. But by marking a border this intensely…” They mumbled. The learner nodded to the patrol leader, if The Settlement of Storms and Skies wished for a battle in the near future, it would surely be one Mumblepaw was sure Beansprout would entertain. Ugh. Flicking their ear, the learner waited for the rest of its patrol to finish up and to head back to the settlement to report their findings. Still having to take it slowly, breathing through their mouth was still difficult on their lungs, had that wish really done this much damage….

Snowpaw seemed to be as quiet and calm as she's always been -- or at least, in the tabby's experience. He's never heard her speak up loudly or talk back, nor seen her misbehave and frankly... He didn't mind too much. While the loud ones had their own good points (though he'd never admit to it), it was nice having a calmer apprentice for change. Nothing of the usual spitfire attitude he could see in Snowpaw; quite the opposite. That too had its own perks he was sure.

Looking over his shoulder at the apprentice every so often, his ear gave a light flick hearing her hesitant answer. He hadn't expected her to give anything as an answer, seen as she was only just apprenticed, but it was nice to see her try - and to some success, for she'd given the correct answer; tree cats had to be ThunderClan, right? Gingerfrost showed her a light nod, finally speaking up.
"That's right. The tree cats are called ThunderClan. They're known for climbing the trees of the forest, much like we're known for our fishing and swimming. This here is the border -- never cross a border. That'll only cause trouble. Smell the air, and try taking in the scent."
He briefly explained about the clan, meanwhile rubbing his scent on a nearby small tree to subtly mark the border.

Solo patrols weren't off-brand for Bumblestar, but the recent finds they'd procured definitely were. Her trek through Smallpines didn't prove to be much different.

Some odd sort of scent caught her attention, and she paused, eyes narrowed as she swiveled her head to try to find the source. Creeping from RiverClan's side to ThunderClan's own... a few steps forward and a sweeping gaze revealed faint pawprints and fresh, half-eaten scraps of fish tucked under a bush. The stench was heavy over the scent-markers, stinking up the area, likely driving away prey and attracting predators. Bumblestar's right ear twitched as a low growl rumbled in her throat.

She took the time to bury the leftover scraps under the bush she'd found them near, then stood straight and squinted over the border. Her claws tore at the dirt.

If nothing else, maybe this was an opportunity.

Tail lashing, Bumblestar remarked the border for good measure, then turned to head back to camp. She would deal with this later.

"Better save that energy, we've got a long trek ahead of us!" she called after him.

It wasn't a long trek to RiverClan's border. Bumblestar surveyed the area for any lingering pawprints or scraps of prey before she flicked at Wolfpaw's shoulder with her tail. "This is Smallpines. RiverClan lives across the border. We've had issues with 'em in the past, and I'm anticipating more in the future, quite honestly. They're no-good, untrustworthy snakes, 'n would sooner stab you in the back the second you turn from 'em than anything else."

See, Dreampaw knew he shouldn't be out in the territory by himself. He knew that he would probably get into trouble if he was caught. But he wouldn't get caught, because he didn't want to be. And besides, he was just going to stay in ThunderClan territory, so no danger. As he walked, the light swirled around him, making him dizzy, the scents of the forest and creatures were overpowering, and made him nauseous. But he was use to all of this and it didn't affect him much. In his world, all the colours were duller and didn't hurt his eyes, but there was still beauty in this one that was worth the pain. Like that butterfly. It fluttered so effortlessly, reminding him of flying in his own world before he woke up. That brought memories of the flaming hawk and the gaping black hole back to him.
No, he didn't want to think about that right now, he wanted to enjoy his stroll. The butterfly flew from flower to flower, high place to low, and Dreampaw followed. He wanted to join it in the air, but the cat wasn't here to help him, and he couldn't do it by himself, not in this world. The scent came to him as he was climbing up a steep slope. That’s RiverClan. How had he gotten so close so soon? Distracted beyond usual by this shock, his paw slipped and he started to slide. Terror gripped his heart and his claws flew out to find grip. Not because of RiverClan, he knew that there weren't any cats around, but because even though he hadn't seen it, he knew that the big black hole was below him, ready to swallow him whole.
The earth crumbled under his paws, he knocked his chin, tumbled the rest of the way down. And he was still alive. He wasn't falling any more, wasn't tumbling down that unending tunnel of darkness. He lay still, not wanting to move because he was comfy, even though his chin was stinging. He had landed on some blunts, the crushed stems moulding around his body.

She/her | 15 moons
A sleek dilute tortie she-cat with green eyes


The trek to Smallpines from Rugged Range wasn't exactly a short one, and Larkwing was already tired from escaping the flood, so by the time she had arrived, it would be an understatement to say she was exhausted. Glancing around, she spotted a somewhat covered area where she could duck into and rest for a few moments - it would be a good chance to test the smells around here too. Stars... she was so tired... all her muscles ached from the vigorous and desperate swimming from earlier in the day. There had barely been a moment where she'd allowed herself to mourn the loss of their camp, their home, and any clanmates they had lost. There was barely any time to process Beanstar's words before the flood broke out.

WindClan wasn't to be trusted... Beanstar never said they were 'kill on sight', exactly, but for some reason, Larkwing had a feeling that's sort of what he meant by that. Both clan's leaders lost a life too, at least allegedly, but she had no reason to believe that her leader would lie to the clan. All she knew was that they were going to fight a war she wasn't sure they'd be able to survive in their current state. Was this it for RiverClan? Was StarClan mad at them? Was there even anything that could be done to fix it? Beanstar might be dying right now, he certainly didn't look good when she slipped away, and here she was, exhausted, and trying to feed an entire clan by herself.

"Be quiet, Larkwing," she scolded herself, "just because you're named after a bird doesn't mean you have to share a brain with one." Smiling a little at her comment and half hoping she really was alone so no cat could hear her talking to herself, she pushed herself back to her feet and reemerged from where she'd been resting. She couldn't idle any longer, she had cats to feed. It would be stupid to get more than she could carry, plus, all she really needed to get was maybe a couple rabbits and a mouse or two, enough to feed the kits, queens, elders and the injured... though her hunting alone still wouldn't be enough. Despite this, she was comforted to know that in the morning, all warriors and apprentices who were able would be sent hunting to feed the rest of the clan.

Opening her mouth, Larkwing scented the air, searching for something, anything she could bring back to the clan.

Bumblestar's hackles bristled as she stalked across the scent line, ears pinned back while she scanned every inch of it. The border was faint, with minimal trace of the fishfaces to be picked up on, but she could still smell the intrusion that came from Cattail Pond. A glance over her shoulder and then one around said no one was coming; the stench was faint, anyway. She slid into the water without shying away from it, paws scrabbling for purchase on the bottom until she emerged from the other side, dripping wet.

From there, it wasn't hard to trail through RiverClan's territory, following what she could catch of the scent. It wasn't like she was familiar with what the snakes called home, but more than anything it seemed to be heading away from what would reasonably remain inside their borders. A growl rose in her throat as she stared after it, before turning back in the direction she had come. She needed more than just herself for this.

[Neptune.]

Fogfall dipped her head, her green eyes giving only determination away. She followed Larkwing, her small, pale grey paws feeling as if they were about to fall off. She ignored this, however, seeing as she was ever so restless with all the moving and stuff to do and whatnot.
She walked with Larkwing, mildly annoyed by the lack of sound. Usually she’d hear a river, but no, not now. Now she only heard silence. “So.. do you have any apprentices?” she asked, trying to spark a conversation as they made their way to Smallpines, becoming more wary of the clan that lived beyond the borders with every paw step of the way

So, small talk, huh? Larkwing could do small talk. "I do," she said, "Mothpaw, the little spitfire, is my charge currently." Mothpaw was... interesting to say the least about her. Prone to defensiveness and with a feisty attitude to boot, calling her a handful would be an understatement. "What about you?" As they walked, Lark spotted a few reeds that could be used for den building, nicely placed on RiverClan's side of the border, and she began chewing at the base of them, ready to get a good amount to bring back to camp.

Fogfall fell in beside her after finally having caught up. “That’s great. I have one, too. His name is Frecklepaw.” she said, also catching sight of the reeds. “Here, I’ll help.” she offered, helping Larkwing gnaw at the reeds bases. After that, she had a pile of reeds in front of her. “I have an idea!” she said, perking up after staring at the pile for about a minute, wondering how the heck she’d carry it all. “It’ll help us be able to get more.” she explained, wrapping her tail around a good bundle of reeds and picking it up. “See?” she said, looking at Larkwing to see her thoughts on this

Fogfall smiled. “Thanks! These reeds are sharp so we shouldn’t carry them with our mouths, we’ll get cut. And Stonepaw won’t want to deal with a couple of whining warriors, will he?” she explained, purring at the last bit as she tucked the rest of the reeds in her pile under her chin. She remembered why they were here. “We should continue checking the border.” she suggested softly, impatient to get these back to the clan. Gingerfrost would be delighted— or, well, he’d be mildly interested. Apparently he never got excited

"Right," Larkwing agreed, turning serious all of a sudden and turning back to her other important responsibilities. "Let's check the markers while we're here, too." She instructed, remembering that Gingerfrost had asked them to do that while they're out here as well. Opening her mouth, she scents the air and finds herself immediately stiffening, unsure if what she's smelling is really there or if the wind was simply blowing the ThunderClan scent her way. "Fogfall, be careful, I don't like what I'm smelling..."

Fogfall glanced at Larkwing questioningly and sniffed the air, her fur prickling as she smelled Thunderclan scent. Strong. “Me neither.. let’s mark the borders.

She walked along their side of the border, marking reeds and making sure Riverclan scent was strong.

*-Larkwing-*
She/her | 16 moons
A sleek dilute tortie she-cat with green eyes



Larkwing couldn't help but wonder why she had to choose their ThunderClan border as the place to go and gather building materials. Sure, the reeds and cattails were plentiful here and they were excellent for building sturdy dens, but it just had to be the ThunderClan border!! And, more than that, the scent of those pesky rodents was abnormally strong for their side of the border, and if Larkwing had to go back to Gingerfrost and report ANOTHER encounter with the squirrels that she happened to be a part of, well, the young warrior had half a mind to wonder what that said about her! It wasn't like she was at all trying to be the cat that somehow always ran into ThunderClan! Larkwing could only hope that, whoever the scent was coming from, they had passed by recently and gone on their way back to their own camp already.

Diligently, she marked the borders, rubbing up on and getting her scent all over the grass, trees, reeds, rocks and cattails. Everything on their side of the border she could rest her eyes on, she would mark whilst idly keeping an eye and ear open to the surroundings, trying to detect anything she could.

Fogfall continued to mark her scent along rocks, grass, trees, etcetera. Afterwards, she spat at a bush near Thunderclans border. “Squirrel-brained furballs..” she muttered in a low hiss, just loud enough for Larkwing to hear. Fogfall, deciding that Thunderclan was getting too big for their britches, padded over to Larkwing, basically steaming. “What’s wrong with them? First they kill Beanstar now this? For Starclans sa—“ he cut off, remembering Starclan didn’t exist. At least in her book. She cleared her throat, a bit perplexed on what to say. “For every single thing that is holy and loved, can’t they back off?” she hissed after finally having decided what to say, anger lacing her tone. She gripped the reeds in her tail tighter. “Whatever.. let’s just get some Cattail and be on our way. We can report to Gingerfrost afterwards.” she suggested, grabbing some Cattail in her mouth after chewing on their bases

Uneasy, Larkwing nods. What the hell was going on with all the clans being against RiverClan lately? Lark would be the first to admit that perhaps under Beansprout they hadn't been the best, but Bean is dead. RiverClan shouldn't be punished for the actions that were one cat's just because that cat happened to be their leader. "What's wrong with cats lately?" She muttered as she chewed on the cattails. "It feels like we're getting beat at every end no matter where we turn."

Fogfall shot her an empathetic look. She we down the reeds she had in her tail and placed it on her shoulder. “You’re right. But we’re strong. We’re Riverclan, we can get through this. Just as we had everything else.” she said, comforting Larkwing. She peered past the border and into the lush, green forest where those mice-eaters lived. “Let’s go. Maybe we can hunt later.” she said, curling her tail around the reeds once more and tucking the Cattail under her chin again, gesturing with a paw for Larkwing to lead the way

"Right," Larkwing agreed, securing the reeds in her tail and grabbing onto the cattails she'd gnawed up in her jaws. It wasn't a lot, maybe three large reeds and two cattails. But it would be enough for now, and they weren't the only ones gathering material, so things should be ok even if she had all she could carry. As long as everyone who went out to gather materials and food grabbed as much as they could carry. Flicking an ear toward Fogfall, Larkwing began to lead the way back to their new home

Nightgaze
Thunderclan warrior

It didn't take very long for Nightgaze to reach Smallpines as she had basically been running as she was a very energetic cat but now she stopped and flicked her tongue out to taste the hmm it seemed like Riverclan had been here a few days ago but it didn't seem like it had been marked since then.

Turning around to see if her patrolmate had catched up the small black she-cat glanced at the border before speaking "Alright time to get marking! Let me know if ya find anything suspicious!" she told him cheerily and started brushing against the pines and cattails eager to get the marking done quickly.

Spiderthroat
The Doctor
[ T^T I apologize for the delay]

The Calico walked as the other Warrior sprinted on. Deciding no, he would enjoy his stroll. Smallpines wasn't going anywhere and there was no need to run. He'd get winded.

"Alright patrol leader. Let's get this over with." he huffed. Taking a look at the Warrior before nodding and breaking off to the opposite side of them. Crouching as he let his belly lightly drag against the forest floor. Ears pricked as he listened out for any living creature.

After a moment, his eyes caught onto a sparrow. Decently sized one but not the biggest he'd seen. Scooting forwards, he aimed to kill it. Effectively squashing it against the ground. One smooshed bird, down. Not wanting to walk back and fourth, he'd brought the bird with him. Maybe he'd shoot for a few more poor morsels.

After many...many...minutes. 2 additional mice were caught, as well as one blackbird. A total of 4 pieces of prey for the Clan. Not horrible. He could have had more but he'd snapped a twig and spooked of 3 mice, and he'd dropped his sparrow near the beginning and scared away a crow. That would have been an amazing addition.

[Morrigan]

Nightgaze
Thunderclan warrior

It didn't take long for Nightgaze to finish the marking because of her quick pace and she soon decided that it was time to do another thing while she waited for Spiderthroat to finish his marking not knowing how long he'd take.

Pricking her ears as she was alerted of a vole snuffling near a pile of leaves she immediately dropped into a hunting crouch and started stalking silently towards it trying to calm her excited breathing.

After a few moments of stopping and creeping closer she was soon just a fox length away and luckily, despite her adrenaline, it didn't seem to notice her. Taking this chance she gathered her haunches and leaped straight onto it and killed it with a quick bite to the spine.

Lifting her head a plump vole hanging from her jaws she soon spotted her patrolmate and he had caught a lot of prey.

Without a second thought the small black she-cat decided it was time to go and summoned Spiderthroat quite loudly "C'mon Spidey time to report to Alder!" she chirped happily with a teasing tone like always as she flicked her tail she had now decided to use nicknames and she'd use them whether he liked them or not.

Cherryswirl purred, nodding, "Exactly, now you're getting it!" Silently, she lead the apprentice from the swampy, darker area of the territory towards the ThunderClan border. Her hackles raised slightly as they drew near - the scent overwhelming her senses. RiverClan's scent certainly wasn't faint, but it definitely seemed like a ThunderClan patrol had come through this way much more recently. Stifling back the rising bile in her throat, she turned to look at Dunepaw.

"Alright," She mewed, gesturing to the changing scenery of pine trees around them, "This is our shared border with ThunderClan, as you can smell. Hmmph." Cherry hummed softly as she began to mark up the border, keeping it precisely in line, if not a claw-length extended into ThunderClan's territory. "Any questions before we head back to camp?"

[Kass]

Dunepaw
So this was thunderclan border. He felt uneasy with every clan at the moment. Everyone was at each others throats and this made him wonder what the clans were like when everyone was at peace? Hey…what was it like when everyone wasn’t trying to kill each other he asked in all sincerity. He hated the fact that even the kits had been dragged into this. Everything in his life was just spiraling downhill. His brothers death. His horrid parents who wanted nothing to do with him. His sister had drifted away from him and hasn’t spoken to him since the day they went to visit sandpaws grave.

He opened his mouth to ask another question but couldn’t stop himself before it was too late. Mom what do I do after the territory tour? he meowed. Freezing shortly afterwards from shock. I didn’t just do that. No way nuh uh he heaved a sigh. I’m sorry I shouldn’t have called you that.

[ Zelly ]

His question took Cherryswirl by surprise and for a moment she seemed quite lost in thought,

"I'll be honest Dunepaw, I don't think there's ever been a time where the clans weren't trying to kill eachother... Maybe, only harm or take territory from another clan, but it's always been this way." The answer felt harsh rolling off her tongue, but it was the truth. The way of their clan was life. And Cherry would protect that life no matter what. "Even though we all fall under StarClan's guidance," Her eyes trailed up to the cloudy sky, "We just don't share the same values or teachings. Rarely do you want to see a RiverClanner want to spend their whole life up in a tree... Or a ThunderClanner taking fishing trips in the river." There was almost a delight to her tone as she spoke - perhaps she had been trying to visualize it? She huffed with laughter for a moment, turning to look back at Dune though was cut short as her mouth hung open with surprise...

"Ah.." She stuttered, quickly closing her mouth from whatever words had been trying to escape. 'Mom?' Cherryswirl's expression seemed... difficult to read at that statement. It didn't hold any anger or disgust. Nothing of the sort - perhaps notes of bittersweet sadness could be detected? And even after Dunepaw apologized for the slip, she still seemed still as a statue. In reality, Cherry couldn't urge herself to move her paws, move her body. She felt completely frozen on the spot. Anxiety? No. Of course not. Had Dunepaw really referred to her as a parental figure? Sure, she felt plenty responsible for him, and cared deeply for the younger felines health and well-being... but did she even... no, could she even deserve that title? Would that be fair to other's birthgiver? As far as Cherry knew, Dunepaw didn't have anyone else. The thought made her throat want to close up as tears threatened to slip down her cheeks. The warrior cleared her throat, mostly to chase away her own thoughts, and turned her gaze away momentarily to recollect herself. It only took a few seconds. Once done, she turned back with a softened, friendly expression.

"It's alright, Dunepaw. I don't mind. I-" She choked slightly on her words before continuing, "I don't think I would make much of a good mother, but the fact that you consider us, at the very least, close enough to make that mistake is lovely." Cherry let a purr rumble in her chest, "And, just so you know, once we get to camp you'll get yourself a small meal and rest while the sun is at it's highest point. Then, we'll get started on some training. Swimming or battle training, which would you prefer?"

He nodded then spoke I’d like to practice my swimming. I mean after all I don’t want to drown when it all comes down to it. he was still a little stressed about him calling Cherry mother. After all his mother was still up and breathing….but couldn’t give a rats tail about him. Dust

RiverClan's border with ThunderClan. Smallpines. He sniffed around, flicked his tail to his patrolmates to start marking. He remembered Pebblesplash's request about ThunderClan scent, so he made a second check. "There... They don't seem to have marked their border in a while..." he mewed to the others. He hesitated for a moment, then started marking.

Troutstone looked at Minkpaw, a mischievous smile playing over his lips. He loved it when apprentices asked that. "Oh? Well, let me teach you! First, you need to locate the marker. In time, finding them will be easy, but until then, you can just look for scents." He gestured with his tail at a rock and a stump. "Now for the fun bit." He padded over to a tree with stale RiverClan scent on it, stood wobbly on his hind legs and started rubbing his pelt on the trunk. "The higher you get, the better!" He mewed. He glanced at his other patrolmates, hoping that they wouldn't spoil this. He was trying to make it a trend.

Wide, pale blue hues followed Troutstone with wonder as the tom showed the smaller-than-average runt how to mark borders. Eyes brightening ever-so-slightly, the slender feline bounded over to the patrol leader, nervously copying his movements. "Like this?" She asked softly -- tentatively -- hopping up and trying to brush and mark her scent against a higher point than her tiny form allowed.

Feathernose wheezed, her lungs tight. She hadn't even walked for long! But she hadn't been feeling that great lately, after all. Her mind was completely hazy, making her see double of everything. She couldn't tell what was daisy and what were those stars-forsaken poison flowers. Gasping for air as her airways felt like they were narrowing, the warrior tried to use her sense of smell to guide herself to some dock leaves. Great, her nose was foggy too. Swallowing up frustration, Feather scoured the ground, staying close down to the earth. Her legs were shaky and kept jerking awkwardly. Ah. Dock... Dock leaf. Probably. The pale molly jerkily made her way towards the only plant whose scent penetrated the mist swirling in her head.

Roseraven could easily detect the intoxicating aroma of catmint. It was appealing yes, though her mouth didn't water as much as it used to. Spending so much time in the medicine den made you get used to it. She plucked it carefully, not all that fazed by whatever her patrol partner was doing. The small tabby was also able to locate some daisies.

Feathernose hazily noted her patrolmate's find. SOooOo that was what catmint looked like. Putting her nose to the ground, the she-cat sniffed, earthly smells filling up her senses. Was that catmint? It had purple flowers. If her vision wasn't as disconeected, maybe she could have been much more sure of it. AH, well. Purple. Flowerrss.

Larkswoop shivered as the wind brush through her fluffy fur. ''It's cold,'' She mewed softly, sharing a glance with Wolfpaw. ''Alright, let's go.'' The warrior headed towards the entrance. ''Remember, Wolfpaw, stay close to me. It's better we stay together since we don't know what threats lurk in the forest.''

Still, despite the irritation he kept a lid on his tongue and started out of camp. The trek to Smallpines was more exhausting than he remembered, and partway through he needed to break to catch his breath. Fatigue was not his friend.

Wolfpaw had a very basic understanding of hunting, but anxiety made his pelt itch and he slid over to Rowanhowl's side. If allowed, his fur would lightly brush against theirs. "..

Ginger and White Tabby

Leaving camp without a warrior was cause of worry already but now this. A dead and rotting cat in RiverClan’s side was just even worse. That cat was one that Risingpaw found familiar..Splashfur. For the love of Starclan so help her. The apprentice let out a sigh. The cat was mangled. Torn open are parts that made the shecat want to vomit up her lunch at the sight of. The cat hadn’t been in camp, this was where they were guessing he had been. The apprentice felt a chill down her pelt as the possibility of her leaving the camp here and grabbing backup. No. It would just attract attention and then she would have to explain everything, it would take too long. Who know what Thunderclan had planned?
She shifts, breathing pick up as she grabs the strength and drags it a bit further away and digs a hole in the ground for it. Paws getting torn slightly at the roots and rocks. When the hole is deep enough, they had took the steps and made sure the grave was not shallow, they bury the cat. She lets out a shudder as she lays the dirt compactly on top of the body. The riverbank close by was a welcome sight as they managed to locate some moss and place it in the water. Using the soaked moss to wash away any of the dried blood that remained. She stopped for a moment. Throwing the dirty and blooded moss out of sight and over the border to Thunderclan’s side. That won’t cause drama…will it?

Admittedly, there was a speck of irritation when Rowanhowl hadn't responded before Larkswoop - they'd been pretty quiet since leaving camp, actually. He wasn't sure if he just, missed something or...

Anyway, he twitched his ears at Larkswoop's words. "Fish, mostly." His pelt bristled slightly, uncomfortable with the near-overwhelming scent. ".. And, something rotten." A survey of the area didn't reveal anything noticeable, perhaps the reek was from the other side of the river? Either way, he would rather not be near this border. With RiverClan poisoning them he would prefer to stay as far away as possible.

Birdsnow padded up to the cat that sat on the border. He wasn't of any Clan affiliation she was pretty sure but he was still technically trespassing so he would have to leave. Anxiety was pushed down as she let out a soft breath before approaching. "Hello, unfortunately you're on RiverClan territory, so unless you need to speak to our leader for some reason, I'm going to have to escort you back to outskirts." She was calm and not any fraction of her was aggressive, just firm and chill. Even though these male loners terrified her.

Birdsnow padded up to the cat that sat on the border. He wasn't of any Clan affiliation she was pretty sure but he was still technically trespassing so he would have to leave. Anxiety was pushed down as she let out a soft breath before approaching. "Hello, unfortunately you're on RiverClan territory, so unless you need to speak to our leader for some reason, I'm going to have to escort you back to outskirts." She was calm and not any fraction of her was aggressive, just firm and chill. Even though these male loners terrified her.
"Hi- uh, sorry for intruding but I'm looking for my son Matthew. He was taken from my by a human so he hasn't really seen me before and I just want to see him again. I heard he survived a fire recently..?" Scott meowed politely, even keeping his distance. He had soft green eyes and a very familiar sort of smile. Almost like Charredpaw's smile.... Wait a second, Charredpaw had joined after he survived a fire! This was charredpaw's dad!"I understand if I can't, it's just I haven't seen him since he was a kit. William's my ex, if you're curious as to if I'm working for him. I'd never work for that sod even if it cost me my life." Scott assured Birdsnow.

The stench was making it hard to pinpoint anything of use. Upon further examination, Wolfpaw discovered the bloodied moss that had been discarded on their side of the border. The scent of RiverClan was fresh on it, but it was dwarfed by the reek of rot. Wolfpaw didn't know what this was used on ... He didn't want to know. "We should probably let Spiderthroat know about this.." Was it bait, like the poison? To bring predators in? His hackles rose.

Suspicion in this tom's intentions increased tenfold as Birdsnow listened, a small frown on her face. At the mention of a recent fire that the tom's son had survived, she was convinced that this tom wasn't sure that his son was in RiverClan. She made note of his choice to keep his distance, which eased her anxiousness slightly, and his semi-familiar features had her brain whirling. What to do... what to do... Her eyes widened once more at the mention of William, the tom that she had recently fought on the border and the cat responsible for multiple deaths and terrorizing one of RiverClan's own children. The fact that this cat felt the need to clarify that he wasn't working with William was a major red flag in Bird's opinion, and she took a deep breath before making her choice of action. "I understand... missing your family, and I wish I could help you see your son." StarClan knows that she would kill to see her father again, or Kes, or her mentor or sister. But that wasn't how life worked, and she couldn't risk this tom lying to her and leading him to camp. No, that wouldn't do. "We've been having some issues with outsiders, and so we can't risk leading you to our camp or bringing one of our cats- if your son is even indeed in RiverClan- to the border. It's just a very risky situation, so I'm going to have to escort you away from Clan territory, that way you aren't attacked or injured." She hoped he would comply, because if he put up a fight... She would understand, and didn't want to have to fight a parent who simply wanted to see their child- if he was even being honest. The pretty ragdoll straightened up and tilted her head in the direction of the outskirts border, heart still hammering in her chest but she kept all signs of her anxiousness hidden under a calm, collected mask.

Wolfpaw huffed as he grabbed a hold of the tainted moss and pulled it toward the river. He didn't really want to keep this in their territory for fear something worse would come of it. "I trust Bumba, 'n if she thinks Spiderthroat's gonna work I'll believe it." Foxstep had done good 'til his brain cells left the camp, Wolfpaw was sure the crusty old bug would be similar.

He dumped the bloodied moss in the water. It was quick to whisk it away, hopefully reducing the lingering stench of the area. It'd take some time for that to be noticeable though and right now, he couldn't smell anything beyond it. "Still need to inform him, regardless of what ya think."

Yeah, a cursory attempt at scenting determined he couldn't catch a whif of anything good. Decay and fish, a fitting combination. "Let's head back real quick, see what he wants to do about this." If they were lucky, perhaps they'd find something on the way back.

After walking for a while he walked towards the tall pines making sure his apprentice was right behind him. They had to beware of Thunderclan as there was something about that deputy. "This is where we border Thunderclan." he was many tail lengths away from the border. "Don't go any closer to the border right now ok?" he took a deep breath. I swear if those thunderclan cats do anything to Riverclan I will protect them. He turned smiling at his apprentice. "This place I would watch your paws for pine needles let me tell you they hurt!"

Larkstar followed Spiderleap to the ThunderClan border, curious as to this claim about prey remains left on RiverClan's side and covered in the squirrel's scent. What she doesn't sniff out, however, is traces of ThunderClan. You'd think that if they were hunting on the wrong side of the border, there would be some sort of tell tale sign.

A little annoyed now, and just starting to piece together that this might not be entirely a true story, her tail swishes behind her in annoyance and her ears tilt behind her, green eyes narrowed suspiciously.

So, the rumors were more than just rumors, there was actually something concrete to them. Larkwing barely has time to react to the words spoken, barely has time to scoff at Spiderleap's arrogant claim that he was better suited for the position than she is before there's pain searing in her back and her flank. It's strange how much she almost doesn't register the pain is really there until a few seconds pass. Hissing and spitting, Larkwing attempts to roll over onto her back, trying to dislodge the creep from her body.

"Some leader you'd make!" She grunts, breathing heavily, as she moves, still making time for banter somehow. "Is the worthy-" she breaks off with a hiss, "is the more worthy leader in front of me right now? Because I don't see him." She spits and lunges forward, attempting to claw across his eyes.

Along the way on a small outing to gather some chervil for Springpaw’s infected wounds, Tansypaw figured it was wise to bring along another experienced fighter considering she had… Very little. So when Birdsnow and her locked eyes in the clearing it was like the Stars were telling her that the she-cat from across the way that she had helped through grief on multiple occasions was the one for this job. Had to pay her back somehow, right? Now accompanied by two escorts, the tortie makes her way out into the territory, following the scent of chervil on the wind. That is until something else catches her attention. She stops in her tracks, fur beginning to bristle. Something wasn’t right here. Something felt… Wrong. The air was tense, the scents were too fresh… Glancing over at the other two, she whispers to them, eyes wide with panic.

“Do you smell that?”

Larkstar and Spiderleap. That’s what she could smell. And with this gnawing feeling that something was wrong… They had to make haste. Not giving them even a moment to consider what was happening, the medicine cat apprentice sprints off in the direction of the fresh Riverclan scent to happen upon… Great Stars above… Eyes alight with fury, she snarls at the two tusseling cats, ears laying back and claws unsheathing.

“I knew it… I knew it! There was a rat right under our nose! You traitor! You’re a disgrace to Riverclan!” She spats, normally timid voice full of rage and anguish. She had heard the whispers of rebellion. Heard Falconfeather worrying over it. But she never thought it would actually be true. “You’ll pay for this! You picked the wrong battle!”

Watching as Larkstar goes to swipe at Spiderleap’s eye, the small molly rushes forward running purely on instinct, sinking her teeth into one of the warrior’s back legs in an attempt to get his attention.

Birdsnow

Birdsnow hadn't left camp much since her warrior ceremony (in her defense it had only been two days but her mind was preoccupied with other things) but when her eyes locked with the kind medicine cat apprentice across the clearing, Birdsnow had been happy to join the two apprentices on the patrol. Springpaw had become someone that she had quickly grown to respect, and Tansypaw was... Tansypaw reminded her of herself when she was younger, and had been a constant source of comfort, more so than Bird's own mother (or whatever the Lionheart was to her, now) and for that the ragdoll warrior cared for the healer apprentice greatly. She even secretly viewed the cat as something of a younger sister, though she wouldn't admit it to herself yet, she would do what she could to repay the tortie for her kindness.

The blue eyes molly padded out with the two molly's, keeping an eye on both of them to make sure no shadowy figures (figments and hallucinations of her paranoia, no doubt) would jump out at them. The slightest tint of a metallic scent on the air made her slow down, eyes narrowing. "Tansy-" She began, but the healer was already dashing off. Lashing her tail for Spring to follow, Birdsnow sprinted off in pursuit of the medicine cat, the wind bringing scents of her father's former deputy, her leader, the cat who made her a warrior. And the scent of another warrior.

"You traitor." She snarled as Tansypaw's voice reached her ears, and as she exploded out of the undergrowth, it took her a split second to realize what was going on before she was flying forward like a bullet, following Tansy's lead and lunging for his flank and tail, attempting to grab his flanks in her claws and rip her teeth into his tail. If successful, that would bring his attention backwards and give Lark and Spring a chance to provide a nice dose of karma towards this traitor.

"A gnat would make a better leader than you, you repulsive piece of dung." She hissed between her hopeful mouthful of fur and flesh, and would even try to rip into his tail, and tear it off if he didn't turn his attention to defend it. No way would he hurt Tansypaw or Larkwing. She couldn't protect her father, but she would protect his successor- and her friend.

‿‿‿‿‿‿‿‿‿‿‿‿‿‿‿‿


Springpaw herself had kept to staying inside camp for a while, wanting to watch other cats mingle in the clearing for the past few days. Of course, she had taken a trip to the medicine cat's den to get old wounds rechecked because she had suspected something amiss. Right, she was when the healer had said her wound got infected, something that she had seen coming a mile away. Later she would go seek Winterpaw to reassure him she was still alive and kicking, she wasn't sure what was making him freaked out. Once in a while, she glanced around at their surroundings, she never did like the borders it was always a bigger chance of a run-in with the other clans.

She had no idea what chervil looked like in the first place, so she hoped Tansy would describe it. Springpaw would prefer to know what she was looking for before she started ripping up plants from the ground. If she did that it would have turned into them replanting stuff to look normal again. Hearing distance yelling and then the scent of blood caught the apprentice's attention first before Tansy yelled herself and Bird called for her. "Wha-" she cut herself off when she noticed that Spider guy going for Larkstar and the other going at him. "I WAS RIGHT ABOUT YOU!" she screeched, she had a suspicion about him, everything about them screamed 'up to no good' in her eyes.

She would not let this opportunity get away, finally, she could show him how she felt about their stupid little rumor of rebellion. It had never helped when she had seen him and a few other cats leaving camp at odd hours. Hopefully, if things fell through like it's doing with Spiderleap, the others would expose themselves too. Like the other two with her she went for the kill and launched herself for the warrior's back, hopefully he was distracted with the others. If she had reached her way onto his back she would use her claws to grip him by the head and try and yank his head upwards. "Those who don't have faith in leadership deserve to eat the bugs and dirt beneath them!" came out of her snarled remark.

She's quickly knocked to her back despite the efforts of the cats who quickly come to her rescue. It's unfair. She's smaller than him, though, honestly? Larkstar couldn't be any weaker than him really. And, on top of that, she's mad. Mad at him, for trying to kill her, but mostly mad at herself for not taking the whisperings of a rebellion seriously.

This time, she goes for his throat with more than her claws.

She uses her teeth and, as she makes contact and tastes fur and the tell tale metallic burn of blood, Larkstar does not know what overcomes her in that moment, but she listens to ever vile, cruel thought in her head, and she [I]tears[/], ripping apart the cats throat. Blood sprays, covering her mouth and face, and Lark watches the cat's body fall to the ground, bleeding out and, for good measure, she breaks his neck before she realizes what she's done.

She takes a step back and looks down at the scene, and slowly, horror dawns on her face as she realizes what she's done. "Oh stars..." she mumbles, and she doesn't recognize the cats around her anymore, does not recognize their faces or their voices. Where is she..? She feels dizzy...

She's quickly knocked to her back despite the efforts of the cats who quickly come to her rescue. It's unfair. She's smaller than him, though, honestly? Larkstar couldn't be any weaker than him really. And, on top of that, she's mad. Mad at him, for trying to kill her, but mostly mad at herself for not taking the whisperings of a rebellion seriously.

It... It all happened so fast. All at once the tom was dogpiled and basically primed for Larkstar to deliver her judgement. And deliver it she does. Tansypaw's eyes widen, sharp teeth still shredding at the muscle and fur of Spiderleap's hind leg, as Larkstar goes for the throat. Literally goes for it. The look in her eyes alone in that moment is enough to have the medicine cat apprentice letting go and taking a few steps back. A few shaky steps back. Oh Stars... Dear Stars above...

She feels shaky on her feet, continuing to stumble back until she trips over her own paws and ends up on her butt. Panicked breaths wrack her chest as she watches the continuous fountain of blood from the dying cat's throat. And a scared yelp leaves her throat at the sound of cracking bone. Never in her life had she seen such brutality. Never in her life had she ever seen so much blood...

Swallowing hard, she can feel her head growing too heavy for her shoulders. Get away. She had to get away. Get away right now. Scrambling back to her paws, she turns tail and runs back toward camp. Away. Had to get away. Get away as fast as she could or she might be next--

te: mentions of gore + death

Birdsnow

Claws were swung at her throat and Bird jerked back, feeling her skin burn as her fur was torn. Nothing serious, she wasn't even bleeding. He was a little preoccupied to be doing any more attacks on her, and before she could try to remove his tail from his body, Larkstar, bless her heart, was darting forward from her place on the ground. Birdsnow knew what was coming and attempted to use to her tail to pull Springpaw and/or Tansy back, so they wouldn't get crushed by the falling body as Larkstar quickly, almost in a possessed way, snapped his neck.

For the first few seconds as the traitor twitched on the ground, Birdsnow was silent, ears ringing and chest heaving, before she swept into action. She hadn't experienced her first kill yet, but she did remember her panic attack the first time she killed prey after she had come back to life. Crossing the distance between her and the younger leader, the ragdoll bent down and attempted to gently stroke the tortie's back with a firm blue-gray paw before drawing back to check the leader's wounds. Some clawmarks on her back, none else that she could see- they would have to get her to the so-called "safety" of camp. Birdsnow didn't know who else was involved with this rebellion, but if there was one delusional cat who had the audacity to try to assassinate the leader in plain daylight, then there could be more. And until the rebellion had been rooted out and eliminated, Birdsnow wasn't going to risk her Clan losing their- what, fourth leader this season-cycle?

The ragdoll next turned to Hailstorm. "Hailstorm, I apologize for asking you to do this, but could you please take Spiderleap's body to the outskirts? We can't have it attracting any predators- or StarClan forbid, rotting there." Hopefully it wasn't too insensitive of her to ask him to take his brother's body to the outskirts, but that way he could say goodbye in peace- plus he didn't seem to be bothered by his kin's fate and she didn't trust leaving Larkstar right now. Maybe she was paranoid, but she didn't like the thought of being away from the leader at her most vulnerable. Not only was Larkstar on one life, injured, emotionally unstable, their deputyless leader, but she also had a target on her head and Bird didn't know who could be trusted.

Watching in dismay as the medicine cat apprentice sprinted away in the direction of camp, Birdsnow opened her mouth to call for the healer to return, before deciding against it. It was a traumatic thing the first time watching someone die. The ragdoll blinked in contemplation before turning to Springpaw. "Springpaw, could you head back with Tansypaw and make sure she returns to camp safely?" She didn't want anything to happen to the sweet cat. And Springpaw was on the older side, and they weren't that far from camp- she'd follow with Larkstar to make sure they stayed safe on the journey back.

Crouching down beside Larkstar, now shouldering the responsibility of helping the poor cat back to camp, Birdsnow attempted to gently lick at the bleeding wounds on Lark's back. "You did the right thing, although it's hard, he would have killed you or one of the apprentices if you hadn't made that decision. You can lean on me back to camp, and then I can leave you to your thoughts once Falconfeather gets you patched up, okay? I'm going to keep you safe on the way home, Larkstar, I promise to you." The ragdoll would let her cry in peace, but they had to get back to camp to make sure the apprentices got home, also Birdsnow couldn't defend Larkstar too efficiently if there were a lot more of the rebels out here.

She/her | 18 moons | Mind Reader - ACTIVE
A sleek dilute tortie she-cat with green eyes
[ TW: elements of dissociation, non graphic descriptions of blood ]


A leader leaning on a warrior for support... it was shameful. Lark almost wanted to pull away, to hiss that she could take care of herself - that she'd just demonstrated she was more than capable of it... but the very thought of what she'd done made her unsteady on her feet and she wanted to vomit again. So she accepts the help, accepts the comfort. Birdsnow is older than her by several moons, and, even though she was only recently given her name, she has far greater experience and wisdom to share. Right now, the are not a leader and her warrior, they're just Birdsnow and Larkwing. An elder warrior, and a younger warrior. Both of them have seen death before (of course she's seen death before, the image of Bumblestar killing Beansprout is forever etched into her mind when she tries to sleep at night and... and Gingerstar's lifeless body is always there as well), but this was her very first time taking a life herself.

She hardly registers the pain in her back now, the way the blood is starting to clot where teeth sunk in and claws dragged across her flank. It stings to take a step forward, but the pain almost doesn't feel like it's a part of her - she's not experiencing it, but she's watching someone else go through it. She is not herself anymore. She's only a passenger in her own body, allowing someone else to take the reins. Dimly, somewhere in the back of her mind, she registers that people are leaving, that Tansypaw ran off somewhere and someone... maybe Birdsnow but the voice is muffled, as if she's hearing it under water, is issuing orders. She feels bad. That's her job, she's supposed to be the one to hand out orders, to keep her composure through all of this. But Lark can barely hold her head up right now let alone form coherent enough thoughts to hand out orders.

Lark tries to take a breath, to calm down, but the command doesn't seem to reach further than a passing thought. Where had all her bravado from during the fight gone? Is she really so fragile? So weak stomached that simply killing a cat in self defense has brought her to such a state? She wants to scream at herself to pull herself together, but her voice doesn't want to work. It's all she can do to allow herself to be led away from this place, from the corpse, by Birdsnow.

'RiverClan cats have always been weird though.' He thought to himself with a grimace, swiveling his ears to ensure that no haughty warriors were trying to cross the border. He wasn't on patrol, but had fulfilled his duties for the day and was ready to explore the forest like he had done countless times before as an apprentice.

Mantischatter
He/Chitter | The First to Fall


Who would have guessed, that a simple solo-patrol to Smallpines would have been Mantischatter's downfall. The scrawny tom hadn't meant for this to happen -- for truly, what sane being wished for or wondered after their own demise? No one, of course. See here, Mantischatter was very much sane. But the one who met chitter on this cold day? Oh. . . well, that one was likely very. . . insane, if you asked for Mantischatter's opinion.

But who knows? You'll just have to figure for yourself.

It came out of the blue, death did, as Mantischatter would have never expected such a thing. Maybe chitter had strayed far too close to the border, and so had doomed himself, but who knew? Even chitter chitterself was unsure who had caused his death.

One moment he'd turned his back as a pebble hit a nearby tree, and the next second all he had been able to see was the ivory flash of fangs and the sharp, undeniable sting of pain as chitters life flashed before his eyes.

When the haze had cleared, when he lain there in fear, rasping out his last breaths, even his attacker had left him alone.

Mantischatter's last moments in life were spent alone, sandy-furred coat pressed into the ground, pale underbelly exposed to the skies, and a messy, blood-soaked puncture wound gracing chitters throat.

And deep within the forest, long gone from the scene of the crime with nary a trace to track it, a vampire had arisen from the depths of it's grief, and it roared for the blood of those who'd wronged it.

The scrawny tom hadn't meant for this to happen -- for truly, what sane being wished for or wondered after their own demise? No one, of course. See here, Mantischatter was very much sane. But the one who met chitter on this cold day? Oh. . . well, that one was likely very. . . insane, if you asked for Mantischatter's opinion.

But who knows? You'll just have to figure for yourself.

It came out of the blue, death did, as Mantischatter would have never expected such a thing. Maybe chitter had strayed far too close to the border, and so had doomed himself, but who knew? Even chitter chitterself was unsure who had caused his death.

One moment he'd turned his back as a pebble hit a nearby tree, and the next second all he had been able to see was the ivory flash of fangs and the sharp, undeniable sting of pain as chitters life flashed before his eyes.

When the haze had cleared, when he lain there in fear, rasping out his last breaths, even his attacker had left him alone.

Mantischatter's last moments in life were spent alone, sandy-furred coat pressed into the ground, pale underbelly exposed to the skies, and a messy, blood-soaked puncture wound gracing chitters throat.

And deep within the forest, long gone from the scene of the crime with nary a trace to track it, a vampire had arisen from the depths of it's grief, and it roared for the blood of those who'd wronged it.

[ Open for a RiverClanner to find Mantischatter's body ]



Bluestone walked around sighing, his tail flicked as he strolled in the territory, upon coming to smallpines the tom froze and sniffed the air, it was a bloody scent, he followed the scent carefully to mantischatter. He hurried himself as he neared the dead body, the tom perked as he saw the warrior."What in starclan!" he growled out as he approached the body, no signs of breathing nothing just a still body, he looked around to see if there were any evidence before picking Mantischatter up, and carrying him to camp.

purrks: herbal knowledge - tier 2 | the collector | mind reader | skip the steps[all perm. active; sts for battle training]

Traveling in solitude would’ve been the better choice to go for if she had wanted to get this patrol done and over with. If anything, Springpaw would’ve preferred to hit this patrol alone rather than with any form of company. Snow-white paws daintily traversed through the forest floor, listening to the loud chirps of remaining birds. It was instantaneously quiet, besides the occasional chirp or so of a feathered aves within safer crevices of the barren trees. The quiet crushing of the leaves beneath her paws wasn’t enough to distract her from the peace that radiated from the barren forest. Springpaw couldn’t help but let her gaze wander up towards the trees, looking at the bare branches. The absence of leaves allowed a clear view of the tree’s interesting structure, revealing an intricate network of branches and twigs. The trees in the leaf-fall created a stark and somewhat skeletal silhouette against the bleak autumn sky, giving it a unique and captivating beauty.

It was nice to get away from all the drama for just a little while. All of the clan politics and cacophonous chaos was more than enough to drive her mad. There had been too much chaos riddling itself around the center of all the clans, and it only seemed to continue from there. She felt guilty, the sentiment swirling and festering in her gut until she felt herself growing ill. She knew she shouldn’t be feeling such negative emotions bottling within the deepest pits of her stomach. But a part of her couldn’t help but consistently bite and punch at that growing uncertainty as it bellowed within her gut. Both Drizzlecloud and herself had been working themselves seamlessly down to the bone just to cure their clan-mates from this unsustainable poison that RiverClan had slyly snuck into the traverses of their territory. Her eyes narrowed, and a brief strike of anger snuck its way into the back of her brain as her tail whisked itself against the algid air.

It never truly seemed to cease her how truly self-absorbed many cats can be when they want to show their true colors. It was painfully redundant, and her latest encounters with the last cats she’s been around with have been more than enough to prove that statement itself. A good portion of them were cats that she had once trusted and considered as family members. Or, to put it best, as the former. A single cat, in particular, struck her right in the heartstrings at most, an uttermost disdain and disinterest keeping its place within the crevices of her heart more than anything. She hadn’t wished to expel any of her deeper thoughts of the situation towards her mentor, whom she still needed to thank for accompanying her when both Larchflame and Snarlingwolf hadn’t shown. It was undeniably unfortunate for the sheer tardiness that most cats showed these days, especially when it came from one of the clan’s hornets themselves. It was a major shame indeed.

“Thank… you… for accompanying me… Drizzlecloud… I don’t… think I… would’ve… gotten the… patrol done… if my… mentor didn’t… decide to... tag along… with me,” Springpaw purred affectionately towards her mentor as she allowed a small, cheeky grin to cross her lips as lapis-blue hues landed on the blue-gray form of her mentor herself. It was a little jarring that the only cat that she could truly depend on coming with her was her mentor herself, but she didn’t seem much of a difference in her viewpoints about it. As long as a cat was willing to come with her to finish up a patrol that’s been needed to get wrapped up for quite some time, then so be it.

Drizzlecloud
Thunderclan

Being disappointed was an understatement. How on earth could Thunderclan stand on it’s paws if some of their warriors didn’t even bother to show up for patrols? Not that she’d express such a thought aloud. Thunderclan had a lot of capable warriors, some just… Failed to apply themselves, it seems.

“Oh, you don’t have to thank me, Springpaw.” Drizzlecloud sent a similar smile to the molly, affectionate and friendly. No matter how frustrated she was about the lack of appearance from the two other cats that she had assigned to this patrol, there was no point in lingering on such emotions. Here they were now, completing the patrol on their own time. She was just glad that Springpaw hadn’t decided to go out on her lonesome. “I’ll always be happy to accompany you, wherever that may be.”

She didn’t linger on her words, no matter the weight that they may have held. Although she said it so nonchalantly, she meant it. Springpaw was her apprentice, the only one that she had ever had. The first that she had been entrusted with. She held a very special place in her heart.

“Ah, catmint… I hope we can find some out here.” Drizzlecloud murmured as she dragged her deep green gaze away from her apprentice, instead searching the border’s territory for the lovely scented herb.

Fernwillow lead her patrol out towards the Smallpines, keeping an eye out for the plants Drizzlecloud had described. Once the clearing came into view, she turned to her clanmates. "Alright. Drizzlecloud said to stay away from the border as much as possible. Why don't we split up and meet back here? B-but don't go too far." She didn't want anyone getting harassed by the RiverClan cats across the creek.

Trotting behind the other warrior, letting her gaze wander around at the leaf-bare territory, Redhawk's gaze snapped to attention when Fernwillow began to speak. She was hesitant about splitting up, but figured they were far enough from the border that they wouldn't be met with any hostility. "Yes, not t-too far. And y-yowl if you n-need help?" Still it felt wrong leaving Daylightpaw to go off by herself. "Maybe you s-should go with one o-of u-us, just inc-case?" She was on the younger side, after all. Her gaze flickered to Fernwillow, hoping she would be in agreement.

Her mentor’s gratitude was more than enough to slide a more comforting smile onto Springpaw’s lips, the young calico sincerely nodding along with her mentor’s words. “Of… course… Drizzlecloud… I’m sure… you’d always… be the one… that I can… count on… the most for… in case… no cat bothers… to show up… for patrols…” Springpaw felt an affectionate purr escape past her lips, not bothering to hide the affection that was casting itself among her. The arrival of Smallpine’s was enough to make her smile draft away slightly, overtaken by slight turmoil as her paws compressed themselves against the coarse soil of which was colder than thick ice. They should probably not stay here for too long, as Springpaw wouldn’t want to be accompanied by any potential threats of RiverClan hanging over their shoulders for whatever reason.

“Maybe… we will find… catnip… but… given that… it’s turning… colder… by the… passing… second… that may… not be… likely,” Springpaw half-heartedly mumbled the words beneath her breath, lightly nosing around the reeds to pick out any herbs that stumbled into sight. Thankfully, a small cluster of both marigold and yellowbells caught the young healer’s eye, making her giddily gather up the small portions of herbs before turning her attention back towards Drizzlecloud to see her mentor’s findings.

She nodded along to Redhawk’s suggestions, looking grateful and a little embarrassed. “That’s a great idea. Daylightpaw, go with Redhawk. Since you two have done patrols together in the past, I think it would be beneficial for you to work together again.” She turned to go, then called over her shoulder. “Oh and please, be careful what plant leaves you bite… I don’t want anyone getting poisoned on this patrol.

A twist in her chest had Redhawk smiling to Fernwillow, hopefully conveying that there was nothing to be embarrassed about. She let the tip of her tail brush her Clanmates shoulder with a small nod. "Good t-thinking. Biting o-odd plants t-that aren't familiar." It really was, and not just something she was saying to make her Clanmate feel less awkward. Looking at Daylightpaw, Red nodded her head towards the part of Smallpines she was heading off to. "N-Nice to work with y-you again, Daylightpaw. You r-ready to c-collect some borage?" Everything seemed calm and collected, which would hopefully make the patrol go over smoothly.

Spotting a clump of flowers that appeared to have the blue and purple coloring that Drizzlecloud had mentioned, the reddish-brown warrior trotted over a few paces and sniffed at the leaves. Her nose touched them and they were definitely fuzzy. Then, parting her jaws carefully, she took a small bite of the leave. Immediately the taste made her scrunch her nose up and her fur bristle a bit. "D-Definitely bitter," Red chuckled as she used her paws to harvest the flower from the ground, licking the air to try and rid the bitter taste from it.

Fernwillow drifted the opposite way the other two patrol members had gone, sniffing around some bushes in search off borage. She remembered collecting it a few times as an apprentice, Bonestep insisting she taste the leaves only to laugh at her when she gagged on the bitter taste. Oh, sometimes she missed that cantankerous old feline. Spotting some borage off to the side, Fernwillow reached down to chew on one of the leaves, making a face when the bitter flavor bloomed on her tongue. It would take ages for the taste to fade unless she drank some water.

Resigning herself to her fate, Fernwillow picked up two borage and scanned for some more. Wouldn't hurt to pick up another if she could.

Daylightpaw had a better response to the situation than Redhawk had; she definitely should've sniffed first and asked the biting questions later. But the assault on her tongue was fading already so she wouldn't complain too much (not that she ever would've in the first place). Coming up with two of the borage flowers, the warrior smiled at her find before looking to the apprentice with a purr of approval.

"Come on, l-let's head back to m-meet up with Fernwillow again." The tight muscles along her flank relaxed with ease as it seemed this patrol would go off without a hitch. Picking up her herbs Redhawk turned and started to make her way back through the territory towards the spot where the patrol had split up. Hopefully the other warrior had found something too, and they could call this patrol a success!

Mudhound was still riding the happy high by the time the patrol got to the border though they were a little calmer now. Still acting like a clown though, that didnt change.

The tripod trotted into the clearings on the riverbank, stopping to scent the air as Bumble-sis and Woofie did.... Something, behind them (the warrior trusted the two at their back so didnt really focus on them beyond making sure they were still there) , and only came up with the smell of fish. Gross but also kind of a minor problem, Mudhound couldnt detect any cat under that overpowering fishyness. They tried, nose in the air and sniffing like a maniac but came up with not and eventually only pealed away because they didnt hear anything that indicated cats in the area.


Aaaaaaaaand proceeded to flop. It was scent marking really! By rubbing along the forest floor like a wiggly snake all that thunderclan stink was down right overpowering in the area!


However, to any watching foes it utterly ruined the intimidating air the giant warrior held. Large stature and scars did nothing to make someone appear scary when they were wiggling and rolling like a puppy.


"Hey Bumble! Does it always smell so fishy here? I dunno, it just kinda smells worse today? Do ya think a river-cat found a fish sooooooo gross they left it to rot or something? Silly fish-cats. Wolfpaw, have you ever eaten a fish?"

Of course, the cats the tripod wasnt aware were watching probably wouldnt take kindly to the unmeaningly mean questions....

Salteye bows his head, taking in the scent of the border. The piercing scent of Thunderclan assults his senses and he pulls away, shaking his head.

“Euch. There’s a Thunderclan patrol near,” he whispers to the rest of his patrol, flicking his ear with narrowed eyes.

Then, his ear flicks once more and he looks farther down the border. They must be near. He immediately lowers his body to the ground, sneaking through the nearby undergrowth towards the sound of a warrior sneering at the smell of fish.

Poking his nose through a bush, Salteye spots a large warrior rolling around on the ground. Three legs. Despite his own size compared to the other, Salteye reckons they are slow enough to run from if necessary. And beyond them… an apprentice.

Salteye flicks his tail as he glances back at his patrol, a dastardly plan working away in his head.

[dino.]

It stunk. It was the first thing to catch Bumblestar's attention, the stench of fish and reeds. She wrinkled her nose, immediately on high alert as she approached the border with Mudhound and Wolfpaw.

"Quiet," she snapped to Mudhound, ears twisting as she tried to listen to the undergrowth around them. "On guard, both of you. This is way too strong to be the result of a recent remarking. Might be some river rats nearby. Just keep an eye out."

Wolfpaw's pelt bristled uneasily as they neared the border. RiverClan remained the boogeyman of Clans, a bunch of savages who couldn't be trusted. As a result, he was on edge - alert and tensed as the fish reek grew stronger. ....

His gaze only briefly flickered to Mudhound, muzzle drawn in a thin line. Their display of flopping on the ground to scent mark did little to assuage his anxieties regarding their surroundings, nor restore his faith in their competence. Call it petty, he just expected more from a cat who demeaned him previously. "No." It was quiet, terse. His gaze flickered over to Bumba as she spoke and he shuffled to get closer to her, feeling more secure in her presence.

If something happened.. being near his mom seemed like the wiser choice.

The scarred tom turned to face his patrol. He saw that saltlick had that glint in his eye. He nodded to the warrior before speaking. "What do yall think about getting back on those buttfaces?" he asked, eyes gleaming with malice. "You two get the little one. I'll lead bumble away and deal with her," he instructed. He crept further away from the thunderclanners before crossing the border. He overheard one of the cats. What the hell were they talking about? He gave a glance to his clanmates. He couldn't see them, and they couldnt see him. Perfect. He needed a distraction first. He leaped from his hiding spot into another bush. If one of the cats were to follow, he would run away far enough that his friends could do their part.

The suspicion from the tripod sibling had brought them up short for a moment, rolling halted as the warrior listened again to the area trying to pick up anything. If Bumblestar heard anything, smelled anything specifically, or saw something then it was simply beyond Mudhound as nothing turned up for them.

Still, thick and perhaps a little ditzy didnt mean stupid, and the maine coon mix popped to their paws and closed ranks, padding closer to Wolfpaw and their sister. Their scent marking was thoroughly done anyways. Such whole hearted marking had made the stench of thunderclan match that of riverclan and once the area was searched the group could be done with it.

Trademark grin gone from their face the tripod mused "You think? I dunno I was thinking maybe their poison whatsit got one of their own fish but if it is a patrol.... Well they'd better be smart enough to not mess at this point. We've been maybe too nice after.... everything after all. Dont poke beehives after taking honey." perhaps an odd sentiment from Mudhound but even they grew sick of all the sick from poison. If everyone acted decent one day they could be friends again! Riverclan should be smart enough to know that.... right?

Regardless, the distance was closed to the patrol and Mudhound was rather happy for cats to stay in the open clearings for better visibility.

Bumblestar didn't miss the way Wolfpaw chose to stick close to her, but the moment would be short-lived. Her head snapped up as something moved in the undergrowth behind her. A bad feeling settled in her gut.

"Stick with Mudhound." If anything happened, the larger warrior (as incapable as they seemed right now) could at least serve as a shield. "I'll be right back."

A touch to his ear before Bumblestar turned and slipped back into the woods, eyes locked onto the source of the sound, well over the river and on ThunderClan's side - the river rat's first mistake.

"Get out here," she hissed, sweeping her gaze over the brush. "You're in my territory, you coward. I can smell you. You stink."

The lean tomcat raised his brows when a squirrel-ly scent started coming their way. Great.. ThunderClan cats. He gave off a little sigh, alert to his senses. He didn't trust the squirrels anymore after what had happened between the clans. "Yep," he whispered in reply to Salteyes.

Although he hadn't come here in the mood for a battle, Rainyclaw tipped his head, realizing this might be a good chance to get back at ThunderClan. He unsheathed his claws briefly, then sheathed them again, deciding not to get too riled up. After all, it wasn't good for RiverClan's reputation if they went around picking fights everywhere. Let's hope we don't die, he thought jokingly, a little smirk forming on his maw.

With a quick nod to Waspthroat, he poked his thread through the bush, eyeing the ThunderClan cats. After debating for a moment, he tried jumping at the nearest one, unsheathing his claws in mid-air. Was this a dumb decision? Maybe. But did he regret it? No.

Bumba went ahead, a touch to his ear and she was gone. Wolfpaw was left with Mudhound.

Look.

Wolfpaw did not want to mind Mudhound, but he struggled with wanting to associate with a cat who only saw him as a child. He appreciated how Bumba handled things much more - she didn't chastise him, just asked him to hang back while she investigated the noises ahead.

His ears twitched as rustling grew closer to them, the scent of fish stronger. Wolfpaw didn't have time to wonder if Bumba was okay, because the bushes nearby exploded. A cat jumped toward Mudhound, but Wolfpaw had his own issues to deal with as a fishhead came for him.

It was instinctual, mostly. Salteye dived out of the bush toward him and he lashed out, claws extended. Wolfpaw hadn't consciously gone for his throat but that's where his claws landed - ripping through the skin. Blood bubbled from the wound, and did not stop.

..

Wolfpaw blankly stared at the gaping wound, at how his attacker slumped toward the ground. Oh.

For the last several moons, he had agonized over RiverClan - how terrifying they must be, if they could inflict so much pain on ThunderClan and get away with it. How monstrous their cats were. But as he gazed into the eyes of the dying warrior, he realized that's all they were - a dead cat. A coward, even - for trying to ambush them. For relying on poison and shady tactics to do their dirty work.

The initial shock was starting to wear off, replaced by something akin to pure resentment. Screw these cats. He'd cut a lot more fish throats if it meant they'd leave his Clan alone.

His gaze left the fallen to focus on Mudhound, but it seemed they had their pest handled.

TW: Death/Bloody injuries



Things went bad very very quickly.
Bumblestar peeling off brought a worried tensing of muscles and a muttered "But shouldnt we not split the group?" a little too late and for a single second there was silence but for the fading rustling of the leader.

Of course, it didnt last and in the sudden explosion of chaos all Mudhound had eyes for was the full grown warrior lunging for Wolfpaw. What motivation, what monster would do this and why the tripod didnt know but it didnt matter, all that mattered was crossing the short difference to reach the apprentice as they yowled a "Wolfpaw, duck!".

It was not to be, however. Rainyclaw slammed into the maine coon mix's back, stopping them from continuing forward and earning a furious, near monstrous growl from the thunderclan warrior. This creature, this rot dared to stop Mudhound from reaching their nephew? This was what sealed Rainyclaws fate.

Twisting in place the fight was not really even a fight and more over in a second. The large warriors fangs met Rainyclaws neck and for a moment the other warrior could be forgiven if he thought it was not a fatal blow. The positioning was bad and it was more likely that it'd bleed and scar horribly but not kill. Until Mudhound started thrashing their head.

It was a move more seen in a brutish dog than a cat, a move seen when a dog had a smaller thing of prey in their mouth like a cat or rabbit. Mudhound had their teeth fixed in Rainyclaws throat and was thrashing their head back and forth like a dog, blood gushing from the meeting point and flying everywhere. There was a pop, and a crack, and whether the killing blow was a critical broken bone from the force of the tossing or that something tearing inside Rainyclaw was either dead right there or soon to be.

It took less than a second and soon the riverclan cat was dropped like his entire existence and death meant nothing so Mudhound could continue to run to Wolfpaw and his attacker with a roar of,
"DONT TOUCH MY FAMILY!"


Of course, Wolfpaw had more than taken care of his own issue and whether or not Salteye was clinging to life was irrelevant with his injuries but the tripod didnt know that. They were incensed with rage and the blood that caked their face and descended on the downed cat, tearing apart his pelt with furious snarls until it finally clicked that he wasnt fighting back.

A moment of confused silence as Mudhound still stood on the body, scanning the injuries made prior to their impact before they looked up at the untouched apprentice. "Holy cow Wolfie that was quick! You've got some fighting skill still I am so glad youre ok." A kick at the body as the tripod stepped off "Cowardly pond scum cats, what even were they thinking?"

Still, there was no time to reply as Mudhound could barely pant out the questions before a distressing thought struck them. "Bumble-sis! What if they meant to separate us to get to her!?" Another scan to make sure Wolfpaw was ok to continue and a shared understanding before the two ran off to join the leader.
As they ran Mudhound, categorically, did not shut up.

"You'd think if they were gonna try something they'd be harder to kill or something? Like that was fast, did they underestimate us or were they that bad? I dont get it, also my mouth tastes gross now, do they eat rotten fish instead of normal fish now Im gonna need a proper squirrel after...... Like what do you think Wolfie that was more surprising than harmfull right?"

Pain.

That was the first thing the tom was aware of when teeth met his neck, sinking in deeply. He briefly attempted to get away, realizing this wasn't fatal. Rainyclaw breathed a sigh of relief - it certainly wasn't on his to do list to die today. Now, if he could just wiggle away in an unexpected moment and rush back to camp..

But then the pain got worse. He could barely register anything except for a sea of blood spreading around him and his vision dimming as his body was shook, flesh tearing and bones cracking. The warrior let out a scream of anguish, which was the last sound that came out of his living mouth. I'll make them pay I'll make them pay I'll make them pay..

Died at the paws of a squirrel. A darn squirrel! were his last thoughts as he faded into StarClan, the pain finally disappearing.

He didn't hear the loud pop of his neck breaking, because his vision faded, darkness overwhelming him. There he was, taking his last breath, surrounded by a pool of blood and the horrible anguish and pain of twisting flesh and broken bones. Not a great way to die.

Salteye hits the ground. Hard. The pain in his leg is quickly overshadowed by the gaping wound in his throat. His breath whistles through the hole as he stares at the canopy above.

Damn…. squirrels…..

Then the burning fades, replaced soon by numbness.

But Salteye refuses to close his eyes for the last time.

No.

Despite what he thinks, he is merely feigning his anger.

The last thing Salteye was, was scared.

RACCOONEAR | LARGE GRAY TABBY SHE-CAT WITH BLUE EYES

The gray molly walked through Riverclan territory to find herself at the border that separated her clan from Thunderclan. She could tell from the bold scent around her. She had purposefully come to patrol the area. While she wasn't assigned to, she had the urge to get up and do something with the empty time she had and the empty air around her. She gingerly wandered the border and the area around it, remaining on Riverclan's side as she thoroughly inspected everything that could be inspected. The large she-cat caught a large vole along the way, she found it rustling in soe leaves and pounced towards the living and breathing oppurtunity to make it... not so lively and breathy anymore.

She was satisfied with the self-administered patrol and left with a proud expression and prey for the clan in her mouth.

*Bluefang hated this*

*He got to the border, marked it, caught a mouse, and went back to camp*

There. Bumblestar's eyes snagged onto a pelt tucked amongst a bunch of bushes. Pathetic hiding spot, pathetic RiverClan rat. She was willing to let them go after dragging them to the ground and giving them a few good gashes for the road, but Mudhound's howl sent her hackles up. More of them - an ambush.

Fury sparked and Bumblestar lunged, slamming into Waspthroat and sinking her teeth into his shoulder, gnashing and tearing. He hit the ground with a harsh thud. Something snapped. She didn't stop to think about what it was and raked her claws through his throat.

Eyes wild, she stepped back, breaths heavy as she watched him bleed out into the snow for a moment before she turned and hurried back over to her patrol. The sight of them both uninjured, standing over battered RiverClan corpses, was more than satisfactory. Three rats, an attempted ambush, attempted murder. And they lost their pathetic, useless lives for it.

They'd tried to hurt Mudhound. Wolfpaw. Kill them, her sibling and her son. And obviously they were unsuccessful, but they had still TRIED. And that was enough.

Rage boiled over again in an instant, crashed over her like a tidal wave, and with a snarl she grabbed Waspthroat's body and swung it over her back. “We're making a trip to RiverClan,” she spat. “Spiderthroat can wait. Each of you grab a rat and let's go.”

Mudhound.. looked like a mess. Wolfpaw couldn't actually tell if Mudhound was hurt enough. Not that it mattered, ultimately -- because the brute of a cat was barreling toward them. Wolfpaw had NO clue what he was witnessing, and was quick to dart out of the way before he became victim #3.

If Salteye wasn't already toast, Mudhound made sure he was burnt. There wasn't much left of him by the time Mudhound was done, and Wolfpaw.. had some conflicted thoughts on that. On one paw, it seemed unnecessarily brutal -- but on the other, it was pretty freaking neat. Wolfpaw lacked Mudhound's excessive sized, but figured enough teeth and claws would make up for that. ".. You'll have to show me how to do that sometime." He didn't know what to call it, raging out? Either way, the fish were in a river of their own blood. Seemed kind of fitting.

Coldly, he spat toward the body. "They only care about themselves. First poison, now this.." He hated them, and there was no doubt about that. RiverClan had done nothing but try to take and take. Countless cats, made sick or killed - and for what? Nothing RiverClan wanted would justify the damage they caused.

Thankfully, the distance to Bumba was short - she met them shortly, blood smeared on her muzzle and paws but uninjured. Relief flashed through him - RiverClan was even more pathetic if their ambush couldn't even result in a single injury. "They rely on dirty tactics to fight, what did you expect?" To Mudhound, because RiverClan never once fought fair. Tricks and deceit, an ambush done with the hopes of taking them offguard. But ThunderClan was the best Clan for a reason.

He reached to grab what he could of Salteye. The tom was much heavier than him by comparison, and he had some issues trying to get him on his back. Regardless, he had a grip on him and moved to follow Bumba without question.

Salteye, content enough with his search, marks as well. “Everyone ready to head back?” He asks, keeping a closer eye on Treepaw. The borders are never safe, especially for apprentices.

Thunderclan Warrior | They/them | 31 Moons
Bilingual T2 | Flock Together T3 | Rapid Recovery


Shoulders sagged a bit as a furious Bumblestar came into view, but not due to her rage and orders. No, it was relief. Everyone was ok, Mudhounds family was ok and they'd come out not only basically unscathed (the few claw marks the tripod had already stopped bleeding and seemed to be resolving themselves as their wounds tended to) but victorious against cruel cats who'd, .....Well Mudhound had no clue what they intended to do.


The original thought was that the fish had tried to draw Bumblestar away to kill her but they'd only sent one cat to fight her? They'd need like three to stand a chance so that couldnt have been it (unless they were very stupid). It wasnt a territory grab either because again, there was only three of them. The warrior was stumped really, but it didnt matter because Bumble-sis would totally demand answers as they dropped off the warriors for burial. .....One of them completely shredding post death and the others head flopping limply. Oops.
Woofies interest was really nice, Mudhound could almost feel the ice thawing, but the fact that it was for the tripods rarely seen temper that they could be kinda ashamed about? Wolfpaw got a slightly embarrassed grin for the question but a nod and a "The angry thing? I can try, but later though."


It'd be bonding?


For now Mudhound quickly grabbed Rainyclaw and hauled him onto their back with ease using their larger stature and padded over to Wolfpaw, gesturing to the body they'd recently savaged. "Mind if I take that for you? I can carry both no problem and I kinda want one of us to be free in case the dumb fish see us and freak. Yanno, have a cat able to respond fast and not have to drop these lugs before biting back." Plus Mudhound had made Salteye all bloody and didnt wanna make Woofie dirty by making him carry it..... Also they didnt wanna have to be the one to yell at riverclan, Bumblestar would take the helm but if someone else had to pitch it Wolfpaw could do it way better.


When Wolfpaw passed over the body the tripod would follow Bumblestar to riverclan, eyes firm aaaaaaaaand promptly step through a patch of ice they thought was more solid. Footing was regained quickly but hello soggy back leg for the rest of the journey! Yay.

Springpaw
long-furred, oriental-shaped, gray-and-orange calico molly with blue eyes; torn right ear || thunderclan medicine cat apprentice
purrks: herbal knowledge - tier 2 | the collector | mind reader | skip the steps[all perm. active; sts for battle training]


Springpaw could’ve sworn that she felt her fur becoming more and more soaked to the brim from the snowflakes seeping into her skin. Sure, it’s been snowing for the past few days and it’s just been getting worse due to the increased blizzards that happened often. But that didn’t stop her from taking both herself and Fawnsplash to their first destination: Smallpines. She was silently glad that the warrior had happily taken up the opportunity to tag along with the medicine cat apprentice to search for herbs to help the clan in case of any potential trouble with injuries or fatal illnesses that’ll come across the clan. Plus, since they were going towards both of the borders of the clans that clearly held grudges against ThunderClan at the moment, it was better for them to stay an approximate distance away from the border in case any RiverClan cats decide to make their way over and cause any trouble. That would be the last thing that Springpaw wanted, in all honesty.

“Since… we are… at Smallpines… I should… let you know… of the herbs… we are… gonna try… to look for… around here… firstly… we are… gonna try to get… some catmint… and then… some cobwebs… I'm sure… that you know… what cobwebs… look like… but catmint is… a tall… delicious-smelling plant… they are both… rather hard… to find… during the… cold seasons… but we… should try… to find them… before it’s… too late,” Springpaw explained as she entered the snow-crested area, glancing over towards the frozen pond where it split the border and the wilted reeds that normally stood tall by the pond. A quiet shiver surpassed her lips as a harsh rush of cold air blasted through her coat, making her instinctively shake out her coat to try to warm herself up. Geez, it’s much colder out today, ain’t it?
