Beetlepaw started to limp in the direction of the camp. “Well, you could help me by cleaning out the apprentice’s den or the elder’s den?” She sighed , feeling more dizzy than ever. “Just.. wait a second..” Beetlepaw sat down for a moment, but that didn’t seem to help. She shook her head, determined to not get caught out of camp.

"Sure! But after we get rest. And maybe I'll ask Wolfpaw for something to cool off my pads. I don't think either of us can do anything in this state." Those two activities were typical apprentice chores, and Fleckpaw had done them multiple times in the past. And in a way, they were indeed very important tasks; dens needed cleaning and fixing, or cats might get hurt or sick, and it would generally be very uncomfortable. As a result, Fleckpaw doesn't mind. She waits for Beetlepaw to get up and starts padding back to Thunderclan camp next to Beetlepaw.

As they aproached, Beetlepaw signalled with her tail to stop. “I know it sounds weird, but we need to get in without anyone noticing.” She mewed, concentrating on a way to get in. “Do you have any ideas?” Beetlepaw asked.

This... indeed sounded very weird. Why would Beetlepaw ask that? It was like she wasn't allowed to be outside camp. Combined with her meow from before, that she had chores to do... Fleckpaw understood in that moment. But since she did't want to embaress her friend, she stays silent and doesn't mention her thought.

Instead, she meows, "We can wriggle through the brambles and trees from the back of the camp, and I can cover you as we both go into the dirtpile so that you aren't seen. That should help with the scent, too. We can slip to the apprentice's den from there." Fleckpaw hesitates, though, she wasn't completely sure if they could escape patrols.

“It’s worth a shot.” She mewed, before adding, “You go first, it’ll seem weird if they see me sneak out.” Beetlepaw waited for her friend to make a move on their plan.

Fleckpaw nods. She walks slowly, constantly sniffing the air for any other cats. They were lucky for now- all she could smell were stale scents.

"This way!" Fleckpaw meows in a small voice. Now that they were closer to camp, she wasn't willing to risk walking forward like this. Even if they hid their body amongst reeds and brambles, anyone going past this area later would know that Beetlepaw had been here.

Instead, she starts creeping towards an area she didn't recall her mentor telling her about that she noticed led to the back of the camp; with some luck, that also meant cats rarely went through here. And Fleckpaw could tell why. The brambles were thick, and further along the path was cliffs. It would not be easy to sneak in,
their pelts could get snagged, and they may have to climb trees and rocks to get there. Fleckpaw hesitates.

"Nevermind, it's too dangerous." She meows, "I'll just cover you as we go in from the entrance."

(Dunno how accurate this is, based off of the Thunderclan camp in the Warriors series. And I think it isn't too far off, considering the camp descriptions.)

“Are you sure? I don’t want to get more cats in trouble.” She meowed, sounding concerned. But the heat was too much for Beetlepaw, and she rubbed her cheek against her chin before limping away. “Thanks, I don’t think anyone has done that for me.” She meowed, looking back at her.

"It'll be fine. I'm very big and furry, so they definitely won't notice you!" Fleckpaw reassures. "Besides, no other cat would go out when it's this hot." Which reminded her, she'll have to take medicine for Beetlepaw too. What excuse could she make for that? Fleckpaw takes a deep breath. She could think about later. Right now, they just needed to get in.

(Don't understand if you're saying you're fine without Fleckpaw's help, or if you're still in.)

“Come on then! What are you waiting for?” She meowed, waiting for her friend to follow her. She made sure to stay close to Fleckpaw, incase anyone did see her.


(Should we change to the Thunderclan clearing to chat?)
