ThunderClan Territory

>Buckbranch<

As soon as they reached the scent marker that separated the outskirts from ThunderClan's territory, Buckbranch let go of Acornpath and moved to shove the tom over the border, renewed anger and disgust rippling across his features and tumbling round in his chest. "If I catch you in ThunderClan territory again before you've spoken to whoever is going to handle you," he snapped, "I'm going to personally make sure you never make a comment like that again. She's your sister, Acornpatch, how dare you say such disgraceful things?"

How any cat could bear to think those kinds of things, much less say them out loud, was beyond him, and his claws dug into the dirt. "Out. Leave, before I change my mind and decide it would be a better idea to tear your ears off here and now." If Buckbranch still had the authority, he would have gladly made sure Acornpatch would never have a place in ThunderClan again.

His dull, dusty green gaze meet. Yes, he'd admit he was ashamed for what he said about his sister. Buckbranch was right, but he was still hot with anger.

Giving his pelt a shake, he padded slowly away from Buckbranch with a sniff, feeling the tom's glare sink into the back of his head. ThunderClan would fall under this new leadership.. And he would finally see it crumbled down to a pile of ash.

A grin unfurled on his maw. At least he would be in the clan and go down with it. Acorndrop sulked away, blending into the shadows as he departed from the former leader.

She began to run again, and passed Larkstorm. “I don’t need to be escorted out of my own territory. If anything bad happens to me while I am walking threw the forest, ALONE, dying would seem much better than this.” She hissed to Robinbloom and Larkstorm. But then she remembered that Thunderpaw was still there, limp and helpless, so she stopped. “But I’ll wait for Thunderpaw.” @Raven~ @Gale @Ravenfrost

@Singing Jay (As Clearlight is supposed to follow Larkwing, respond or no, your choice. )

--Clearlight--

The dark brown tabby queen padded quietly out of camp and into the territory. Clearlight frowned, sniffing the air and then the ground. She wasn't entirely sure what Larkwing smelled like, but there was definitely the scent of cats around here. Carefully, Clearlight followed the smell. She wasn't the most stealthy of cats, so her paws constantly prodded upon dead leaves and twigs. The quiet snaps and crunches was loud in the mostly quiet outdoors. If Larkwing was indeed the cat whose scent she was following, then Larkwing most certainly had to know there was a cat following her.

Clearlight continued tracking, as best she could, the scent. It gave her time to wonder about everything. It had seemed that, in Thunderclan, all had been peaceful. But then Aspenstar had died and then the clan seemed to had...fallen apart. Now Nectarflame seemed to be taking charge where Dogbark hadn't. Only...she seemed rather harsh about it. Clearlight wasn't sure where she stood amongst all this. She, as a former loner, wasn't used to taking sides. So she guessed, until she formed a clear opinion, Clearlight was just going to do what she thought would benefit the clan.

Robinbloom felt her heart warm at Snowpaw's statement. She was one of her favorite warriors? Snowpaw really looked up to her? She felt honored. Now she felt even worse about having to throw the apprentice out. But she was under orders... At least Snowpaw understood a little and wasn't too angry at Robinbloom or Larkstorm. But the poor apprentice thought everyone hated her. "That's not true..." She said softly to Snowpaw. In fact, last she had heard, most of the cats hated Nectarflame for this. They sympathized with the cats being thrown out and certainly didn't hate them. Actually, Robinbloom was worried the Thunderclan might have a Civil War because of cats fighting back in honor of cats like Snowpaw, Swiftpaw, and Thunderpaw. She hoped that wouldn't happen. It would only cause more bloodshed.

Snowpaw started to run into the forest defiantly, yowling about how she would rather die than have the warriors escort her. Luckily, she turned back when she realized Thunderpaw was still there. Robinbloom didn't have the strength to run after the white and gray apprentice. The red-orange molly bent down to pick up Thunderpaw again, the cat was still not moving. Hopefully they would wake up soon. "I'll carry Thunderpaw, but we are going to have to get you two to the border. Nectarflame might send more cats to make sure you two are gone. And they won't be as nice as us." She gave Snowpaw an apologetic look as she said this. She did not take any pleasure in this, but she had to do it. "I'm sorry."

She trotted to the border with Thunderpaw hanging from her jaws. She would just carry them, then lay them down somewhere outside the border. She tried to carry the apprentice as gently as possible, but they weren't making it easy on her.

[Weekend-Wondering]

Snowpaw stepped passed the border, and watched Robinbloom struggle to set Thunderpaw down. She looked at the she-cat, then looked back at Larkstorm. She looked at each of them one more time, and said, “I hope I see both of you again, thanks for not being rude to me on my way back here.”
Now that I’m passed the border, I’m fine! she thought. @~Gale~ @Raven~

PebbleTail would shrug.

“Maybe where the undergrowth is thicker. They will probably try hiding and make mistake or misjudge our moves.”

Larkstorm nodded to Snowpaw. “Of course. And maybe one day you could return.” She meowed as he turned away. Her heat was breaking. Here was a capable, strong cat getting turned out simply because he had gone missing. It was unfair, that he should be shunned from ThunderClan. “You would have made a fantastic warrior,” She murmured to the air.

Then there was Thunderpaw. The poor apprentice couldn’t even walk by himself. Larkstorm was walking next to Robinbloom, periodically checking to make sure Thunderpaw was still alive. It was terrifying to see him still so still. “Thunderpaw, when you get across the border, you’ll have to fend for yourself. Snowpaw will of course look out for you, but not forever. You’ll have to come to terms with your new life.” Not able to look into Thunderpaw’s eyes anymore, Larkstorm turned away.

And of course Swiftpaw. Larkstorm didn’t know if her apprentice was still on ThunderClan territory, but Larkstorm doubted she would stay. It would be idiotic to. No amount of skill would help Swiftpaw survive in the territory for long. Still, Larkstorm wished she could have said goodbye. Swiftpaw had been her apprentice after all, and if the she cat died, it would be Larkstorm’s fault for not teaching her properly. Already Larkstorm felt guilty for not standing up for Swiftpaw, but at the time it hadn’t even crossed her mind. In that way she was like Thunderpaw, unresponsive. Stay alive, Swiftpaw. For me.

With her goodbyes said, Larkstorm nodded to Robinbloom. “I think you have this covered,” Larkstorm meowed. “I’m going to go back. The meeting probably still going on, and I want to see what’s happening.” Of course, she also couldn’t bear to see Robinbloom struggle Thunderpaw across the border, but Larkstorm didn’t want to seem weak. Bowing her head to Thunderpaw in one last farewell, Larkstorm ran back to ThunderClan camp.
(Sorry about the abrupt leaving, but Larkstorm was about to have a emotional breakdown and Robin can do Thunderpaw just fine)

Robinbloom watched as Larkstorm sadly said a few goodbyes to the apprentices. The warrior whispered something Robinbloom couldnt make out towards the direction Snowpaw and Swiftpaw had gone. She spoke to Thunderpaw, who of course, didn't say anything in reply. Robinbloom nodded as the molly stated she would head back. Robinbloom could tell Larkstorm was having a hard time with this. As was she. But Robinbloom was a lot older than Larkstorm, she had more experience. Almost exactly double her moons, in fact. So it would make sense that Robinbloom was better suited for taking care of this.

She carried him to the edge of the border and found a little hole next to a tree just outside the territory. It was an old den of some sort of animal, the scent was too faint for her to make out. The animal hadn't been here for a long time. Thunderpaw would be safe here. She laid them down in the hole and made to make it as comfortable as possible for them when they woke up. Then she gave the apprentice a lick to the shoulder in farewell. The apprentice was strong, they would make it through this hard time. Then, hopefully Thunderpaw could rejoin the right way. "Farewell, Thunderpaw. Be strong." Then she left, walking back to camp with her tail low on the ground and her spirit down.

Robinbloom decided to follow Larkstorm and go back to the meeting. However chaotic and disheartening it was. She needed to know what was going to happen. Besides, she should probably report back to Shiningskies that their task was complete.
