RiverClan Territory

[seeingstars]

Snapjaw • She / Her • Riverclan warrior • 27+ moons

With Basilnose's arrival, Snapjaw rose to her paws "Morning Basilnose" She said with a nod, humming softly trying to figure out where they'd go. It only took a short moment before she continued responding "Yes, let's head out. The sooner we leave the more time with have to hunt" She said, half to the patrol and half to herself.

The large she-cat made her way out of the camp and through the familiar territory that she'd always called home. It felt different to her right now though. Ever since the dream she'd had about Blueberryfrost she'd felt off.

The silver tabby sighed softly as she padded along, lifting her nose to the sky. She picked up several recent prey scents in the general direction of the Thunderclan border. She decided that's where they'd go.

She slowed her pace and turned back to her patrol mates "We'll meet back here when we've caught all we can carry, alright?""

╰┈➤ ❝ [Goldfish] ❞
| RiverClan Lionheart | She/her | Mentions; None. Closed. Goldfish has been kidnapped. My final post with her until my return. She will be marked as missing. Do not reply, please. |

It had been a mere walk on Goldfish's agenda, with her golden-hued forepaws thumping softly on the forest floor with each step. Her gleaming yellow eyes reflected the shards of sunlight broken yet sparkling of which formed the familiar shine of a starry night. The silky quiet of which wrapped like a spider's delicately woven web hung in the air, and the Lionheart couldn't help but feel a sense of peace. As her steps continued, she remained unaware of the creature watching her, his white-and-brown-tabby pelt sickened back with mud and leaves of which encrusted his thorn-like claws that cracked through the encasing dangerously, a glinting hue of off-white daggers upon his freckled toes. His cover would not last for long. Goldfish paused, scenting the strong smell of rogues. He was not alone. He was here with someone forgotten with the essence of time alone. She had no time to react as he lunged.

His lunge landed squarely upon her side, and Goldfish let out a deathly snarl, but it was too late for her to react with the speed she had always displayed. His claws deepened with quick and perfect accuracy in her scruff, and the RiverClan warrior kinked her neck back with a yelp before throwing him on the earth. But they were behind her. The black feline she hadn't noticed lunged at the Ace of Spades, paws slamming into her temple with such ferocity that white light exploded behind her vision. No. It couldn't end like this. It just couldn't! She had to finish Mari's training, live with Shellpaw, see her future- Jayfrost- Everyone- no- But it was too late for wishes such as this. Claws sank into her shoulder and ripped her back to the cold, hard, unforgiving earth. Cold frost of the night's once-beautiful, now eerie glow chillier her core as the final glance up at the cats above her. She didn't recognize them. "It's You're fault. You could've protected her. You made her leave me. You will pay for Spottedstream's leaving." What? I don't know where she is! Goldfish longed to cry, but paws slammed on her head, and the world faded to black as her body was picked up and carried from the territory to the outskirts, breaths short and raspy in her unconsciousness as Toadstool carried her to her kidnapping. They left the territory, and were far, far away quickly. Ground was covered speedily. And now she was gone, her return of which may never occur.

"Life is like a fever dream."

"The essence of soldiers once fallen hangs heavily in the air."

"Gone to be forgotten."

"A life never lived."

"Fallen, fallen, Fallen."

The younger cat nodded, heading out with Snapjaw. "Hold on," he mumbled, "We're missing a cat. Where's Troutstream-" His sentence was interrupted when his nose twitched towards the east. A robin was picking at the dirt, and Basilnose lunged towards the bird, catching it, and waited for Snapjaw to catch something.

After leaving camp, Sedgeflake had followed Lavenderleopard's scent through the territory. It seemed after her departure, she wasted no time in getting out - he supposed the threat of death might do that to someone.

By the time he made it to the outskirts border there was no Lavenderleopard in sight. Sedgeflake figured she wouldn't show her face anytime soon, but still took a few moments to remark the border before he headed back.

Troutstream was still by the Riverclan deputy. After hearing the words of what they were suppose to do and who they were paired up with. Troutstream looked around the clearing, he saw them. These were cats he never spoke to. He stood up and padded over to them. "Hey, sorry I'm late." He said with a smile.

Snapjaw narrowed her eyes as she looked at Basilnose "He was with us in camp, if he doesn't want want to join us he can deal with the consequences" She said with a shrug before heading off into the territory.

She took note of the direction Basilnose had taken off. She was about to leave in a different direction when she saw Troutstream approach. The large she-cat shot him a glare "mm, please try to be on time next time" She said, turning away "Catch as much as you can carry, and we'll meet back here, had you been here earlier, I wouldn't have had to repeat myself"

The large silver tabby she-cat padded off, her eyes scanning the territory in front of her for any prey, she was planning to head towards the river though. After what felt like hours of walking, Snapjaw finally arrived. She sat by the water's edge. Her hazel eyes locked on the water in front of her, searching for any kind of movement. The riverclan warrior stayed completely still, finally it paid off as a a trout swam into view. She quickly lashed out her claws.

[rolled 2]

SPLASH. Damn it! She'd missed the trout, and lost her balance for a moment before regaining it. She was usually much better at this. She sighed as she moved farther up the river and sat once more, glancing around a

After more waiting Snapjaw saw a carp. She once more readied herself, preparing to swing into the water. After collecting herself she struck, her paw lashing into the water with unsheathed claws.

[rolled 12]

Success!! She managed to just barely hook her claws into the carp and pulled it onto land before killing it quickly. She buried it and waited for more fish.

Snapjaw's ears perked up as she heard a vole nearby. She lowered herself and crept in the direction she'd heard it. After a bit, it came into her view. She slowed her pace, creeping forward. Once she was close enough she pounced.

[rolled 12]

She clumsily landed on it, killing it as quickly as she could. She sighed softly, what was wrong with her today? She'd never been this clumsy before. A frustrated sigh escaped her maw as she picked up the vole and went back to bury it with her carp. She looked around once more, her tail swaying behind her. She lifted her muzzle, sniffing at the air. She picked up the scent of... a thrush? She quickly and quietly took off in the direction of the scent. She once more slowed when she could see it. She shot forward, leaping at it as it took off.

[rolled 14]

She caught it, a little more cleanly than her last kill too. She buried it and decided she would begin to head back. She picked up her prey and padded towards where she said she would meet her clanmates. Her ears perked up as she heard the flapping wings of a robin landing a bit ahead. She set her prey down, before crouching. She crept forward slowly before launching herself forward, paws out with unsheathed claws.

[rolled 4]

She missed, how embarrassing, she still had a chance though. She sprung into the air, lashing out a paw at the robin.

[rolled 15]

She caught it's wing with her claws, pulling it back down to the ground. She pinned it quickly and killed it. Snapjaw picked up the robin and returned to her prey. This felt like it should be enough so be quickly made her way back to where she said she'd meet her clanmates, she looked between the directions the two toms had gone as she waited.

[skipping Amberdusk for now! Vinegar, feel free to have them catch up]

Amberdusk..nowhere to be seen. They supposed they can't really wait too long. If Amberdusk wants to catch up, they'll probably catch up in no time; they were sure. "c'mon, we'll go without Amberdusk for now. I'm sure they'll catch up soon" it didn't bring Sunsetgleam any joy knowing cobwebs is one of the most important parts of healing yet one of the cats called for the patrol showed up late. But they can't hold on to that thought for longer, they don't have as much use pondering over a single cat when they know every moment pasts is a moment closer to leafbare. So they'd signal the two apprentices to follow them, leading the patrol outside the camp's entrance.

They came to a stop once they've made a good way into the territory and turned towards the two "we'll split up, but make sure to not go too far out; stay in hearing's distance, alright? We meet back here once the patrol finishes" they trusted the apprentices to not do anything too reckless right now. If one of them did end up doing something potentially dangerous and Sunsetgleam caught sight of it, they definitely won't leave it alone. And if they scream for help they'd be able to hear. They waited until the two gave an affirmation; the clan really didn't need an injured apprentice (or any cat really)

@Minku @Idiotic.Bean101 @gayvinegar

Featherpaw followed Sunsetgleam into the territory, not really paying much of any attention. When they stopped, Featherpaw was staring blankly off into the distance. When she heard Sunsetgleam talking she snapped back to her senses. "H- huh what . . .?" she mewed, shaking her head to clear her thoughts.

!! TW: Gore !!

Relieved to see him, Basilnose sighed when he noticed Troutstream had shown up, before returning to his own hunting, walking towards a branch clogged river. Swirling his paw in the water, Basilnose noticed a huge bass in the river, and hooked his claws towards the bass.

Basilnose rolled a 1! He could not catch the fish- instead, it caught him.

The large fish clamped its jaws around Basilnose's paw, and as he struggled to shake it off, the fish clamped harder, causing Basilnose to shriek in pain. Using his soon-to-be eaten paw, he slammed the bass into a jagged rock.

Basilnose rolled a 20! He is not having his paw bitten off by the bass, or is he?

The force that the ginger and blue-grey cat slammed the fish into the rock had dislocated the fish's jaw, allowing Basilnose to free himself from its grasp, and he gave the thrashing fish that was almost twice his size a killing bite.

Basilnose rolled a 13! He killed the bass.

Drudging against the dirt was the bass that Basilnose wrangled with, before bringing it to where the rest of his patrol had rendezvoused. Sniffing his bleeding paw, Basilnose inspected it to see how badly it was injured.

Basilnose rolled a 6! It's pretty bad, but could be worse.

Upon further inspection of his blood-caked paw, Basilnose observed that two of his paw beans were missing, likely ripped off when the bass had clung onto him, replaced by bleeding crimson holes. Basilnose winced as he licked his injured paw, worried about what was going to happen with him. Was he still going to be a warrior if two of his toes were missing. Ah, don't be ridiculous, Basilnose! Doesn't Twilightstar have missing toes too? Basilnose didn't really recall the WindClan leader that well, since, well, she wasn't his leader.
