Frozenstream lifted his head as Streamwing and Juniperpaw approached. "Hi," he purred at Streamwing, before shooting a concerned look at Juniperpaw. Something wasn't quite right... -- 19:17, October 15, 2016 (UTC)
Juniperpaw hung back, nervous. Quartz... At the very thought, he shivered violently. Streamwing couldn't hide her concern, and murmured quietly, "I'm trying to calm him down, honestly." -- Falconheart, meanwhile, called for Crowfrost as she placed Topaz in the medicine den, heading out to get Tourmaline's body. Oh no, her kits have no mother... 19:53, October 15, 2016 (UTC)
"I know you are..." Frozenstream murmured quietly, "...but for some reason or another, it isn't working. Probably best to try something else." The white elder's fur rose a bit in concern. ---- Silverfeather sidled over to her parents and Juniperpaw. "What'sgoingon?" the senior warrior whispered as she sat down beside her father. -- 00:48, October 16, 2016 (UTC)
" What is that supposed to mean?" Blazefire demanded.--- Flypaw was out practicing by himself, working hard on perfecting a move Redriver had taught him. 
Good morning! You're going to die. 19:32, October 16, 2016 (UTC)
Crowfrost flattened his ears and started to feel himself shifting into a panicked state. "ExactlyasIsaid," he muttered quietly, his ears growing warm with anxiety and the dread in him increasing. He really hated this whole situation. -- Falconheart dragged Tourmaline's body in, her ears pricking as Amethyst gasped and moaned. "Her kits...they have no mother.." -- Streamwing perked her ears as she heard Falconheart's statement, her eyes widening with worry. "Yeah," she sighed, her eyes tracing towards the nursery. "I can't help but feel bad for those poor kits." 19:55, October 16, 2016 (UTC)
Blazefire looked at him oddly. "... are you okay?"--- Otterpaw was seriously about to ditch his mentor. He had so many better things to be doing- pranking, doing his evil experiments, winning over Orchidbloom... 
Good morning! You're going to die. 19:57, October 16, 2016 (UTC)
The medicine cat backed away slowly. "...maybe? It's hard to tell based upon how much anxiety I feel about this whole situation." 20:00, October 16, 2016 (UTC)
Blazefire blinked. " There's no need to be anxious. I simply want you to be forthright and tell me exactly what you think Ashbreeze is hiding. As her mother I'm really worried about her, so I'm sorry if I came across as harsh." 
Good morning! You're going to die. 20:02, October 16, 2016 (UTC)
"..I feel as though she's hiding kits, or something of the like." Crowfrost sighed, his tension released. 20:10, October 16, 2016 (UTC)
"...Yeah," Frozenstream mewed, flicking his ears. "They're not the first to have this happen, but..." Some of the names flashed in his head - Leopardspirit's kits, Covesplash's kits... however, this didn't ease the pain. "...either way, it's sad." -- 03:26, October 17, 2016 (UTC)
"..I think the only problem is that there's no other queens who could take them in." Streamwing flicked her tail. Juniperpaw looked nervous and closed his eyes. 10:28, October 18, 2016 (UTC)
Frozenstream shook his head. "Yeah, I think you're right." Silverfeather nodded in agreement to her fathers words. -- 17:57, October 18, 2016 (UTC)
"...They're too young to be weaned from a queen's milk. There's got to be someone who can support them." Streamwing knew she was probably reacting strongly - but after having two litters of kits, she deeply cared about kits - especially after she'd lost most of her two liters to the storm, illness, or fighting. 09:23, October 19, 2016 (UTC)
"...But who would look after them?" Silverfeather blurted out, the senor warrior's yellow eyes round. "You said there's no queens... Some cat may need to step in." The gray-and-white warrior shook out her fur. Yes, she cared for these kits, after three of her litter... she didn't want to think about that. -- 18:25, October 19, 2016 (UTC)
"...Maybe ScorchClan?" Streamwing asked after a moment. Of course, she didn't want to give them away, but if it was to keep them alive...she'd at least want them to go for now. 20:04, October 19, 2016 (UTC)
"Griffinflight's their father. It makes no sense to give them to ScorchClan," Silverfeather argued. Frozenstream watched on quietly. -- 03:23, October 20, 2016 (UTC)
Splashheart had given birth to four kittens nearly two moons ago and now she was basking in the sun watching them run about. Shorekit squealed as she felt Heronkit's sharp teeth clamp down on her tail tip "Mom!" Shorekit whined before swiping at his nose and popping him firmly. Frsotkit had been very quiet since birth and had barely said a single word. She had been to focused on befriending some of the other kittens. Her mind was on becoming friends with Creekkit. Most of the kits had been flirting with him and honestly it was totes annoying. — QueerSquad

</div> 
Raptortalon wrestled with Orchidbloom outside of the warrior's den, struggling once his sister pinned him. "Aww, better luck next time!" She teased her brother gently, poking him in the nose with her silvery-blue paw. He grunted bitterly after Orchidbloom let him up, and moments later, grinned wildly. He turned and tackled Orchidbloom, rolling with her until they hit their father.
"O-Oops...sorry dad." The senior warrior glared down at his two offspring, lashing his tail once. "You two are warriors now, not apprentices or kits. Make yourselves useful and go hunting, clean a den, or even train kits to be more mature than you two are, for StarClan's sake..." 20:28, October 20, 2016 (UTC)
Blazefire simply stared at Crowfrost. " That can't possibly be true- I'll wait for Ashbreeze to come back and explain herself."--- Otterpaw was back in camp, experimenting with some more medicinal mixtures.
Good morning! You're going to die. 22:52, October 20, 2016 (UTC)
Amethyst buried Tourmaline in silence, the blue-gray she-cat looking upset as she sulked quietly. Topaz, meanwhile, still feeling quite pained and sick, opened one eye and moaned quietly. Crowfrost pricked his ears. "Maybe. If you'll excuse me, I've got a patient to take care of - and he's got to have me near him at nearly all times, as he's in a very serious condition." The medicine cat backed away as he heard Topaz's moan. 23:26, October 20, 2016 (UTC)
Creekkit and Talonkit were both nearing their sixth moon. Talonkit was very excited for it. She had been having a fun kithood, bossing her brother around, annoying warriors, trouble, so much fun! The only thing she hated was... Reedtail... her step mother. She was mean!
Creekkit, on the other hand, was finding his kithood quite dreadful. The other kits never played with him, because of how he acted. He couldn't control it, no matter how hard he tried! When Redheart tried teaching him the hunters crouch, he failed, jumping at the sound of the wind, and because he was too clumsy. He wasn't looking forward to his apprenticeship at all. His mentor would probably think he's annoying and hate him, rather train a fox, and he'd, once again, have no friends. At least he had his sister... most of the time... well... no... not most. Now he sat near the warriors den, lazily pushing a pebble back and forth with his paw, eyes half closed. 01:25, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
"Ok, dad, ok...." Raptortalon sat still with Orchidbloom, watching as their father wondered off while grumbling to himself. Once he left, Raptortalon grinned and tackled his sister and took off, bolting towards the warrior's den, tripping, and--! He nearly crushed that poor little black tomkit, Orchidbloom had grabbed her brother in the nick of time and pulled him away. "Raptortalon, you nearly crushed him, clutz!!" 01:30, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
Creekkit cowared, frozen, looking up at the warriors with gaint fearful eyes. Oh no! He got into someone's way! Would he be in trouble? He shouldn't have been sitting so close to the warriors den! Bad, Creekkit! 01:33, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
Grumbling, Raptortalon kicked off of Orchidbloom, rolling away from his sister. "Yeah, ok, whatever...I knew where I was going..." He mumbled with a small huff, starting to pout like a kit again. "Suuure you did, Raptortalon, sure you did..." Orchidbloom glanced over at the kit, and then back at her brother. "You could've smashed a future warrior...and I bet he'll be far better than you are, Raptortalon, easy." 01:35, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
Creekkit eyed them, his racing heart starting to calm. They didn't seem mad. He opened his mouth to say something, then closed it, unsure on what to say, or his voice wasn't working. He turned, ready to flee for the shadows. 01:41, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
"Oh, yeah?" Raptortalon turned back to his sister, eyes darkening. "And how do you know that?" He demanded in almost a playful manner. "Because for one, you have less coordination than a chubby badger, and two..." Orchidbloom pulled the black kit closer with her paw, her movements slow and gentle. "-...we're going to start things early with him! I'mma give him a tour!" 01:43, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
Brightwhisker led Minkpaw home after theit training--- Otterpaw gulped down his mixture, waiting eagerly. If all went well he'd be itching all over in no time. If not, he'd be dead on the ground, but that was okay, because it would make him a tragic hero. 
Good morning! You're going to die. 01:49, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
</div>Creekkit let out a surprised squeak when Orchidbloom touched him. He looked at her, confused. "A tour?" he asked, worriedly shuffling his paws. 01:55, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
Minkpaw pricked his ears as he entered camp, eyes drifting towards Orchidbloom.---- Orchidbloom nodded. "That's right!!" She purred, grinning widely as Raptortalon stormed off. "And, if you behave...I may just have to sneak you out of camp, just briefly." 01:59, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
Creekkit nodded a little. "O-okay, I guess... Uh... aren't... aren't kits not allowed out of camp, though?" he asked, then got it. "Oh... okay. A tour of what?" Although he didn't know Orchidbloom well, he felt a liking towards her. She seemed nice, not really annoyed with him or anything... Maybe she could be his friend? 02:02, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
"Well...no, they're not, but..." She glanced down at him with a small smile. "You're basically an apprentice, right?" The young warrior stood up in a stretch, a small yawn escaping her in the process. "We'll tour camp first, even though it's boring...but getting out of camp, it'll be a great reward." 02:04, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
Otterpaw's eyes widened as his skin began to crawl. A terrible itch started to spread from his neck to his chest; it was like having fire dance across his body. He grinned. 
Good morning! You're going to die. 02:07, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
"Yeah. I guess I am," Creekkit mewed. He already knew every place in camp, with Talonkit screaming in his face everywhere they could escape, but he didn't mind having Orchidbloom show him around again, in fact, the thought of it seemed exciting. 02:11, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
Minkpaw sighed in longing before moving along...wait, where was his twin?---- Orchidbloom nodded. "I'm confident that you'll be perfectly fine, and I doubt Stormstar would give you any trouble...you would be outside with a warrior, after all." The blue smoke tabby started to slowly walk away. "Come then, I'll go show you the leader's den." 02:13, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
Creekkit hurried after her. He stopped when they came upon the leaders den. "Talonkit tried to take me in there before," he recalled a memory of his reckless sister trying to shove him into the den while he screamed. Good times. 02:18, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
"She seems a bit...bold." Orchidbloom twitched her whiskers in amusement as she observed the den. "Stormstar normally prefers having a kit-free den, unless they're his own...and not troublesome." Turning, she trotted over to the Medicine Cat's den. "And this smelly thing is the Medicine cat den. Sweet, sour...and smelly." 02:20, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
(btw, whiskers, did you want tesla made a spike w/ the stelladash spawn?) The euphoria was wearing off and Otterpaw was seriously regretting this descision. He flopped to the ground, trying to block out the fiery itch. He couldn't fight it. Despite knowing it would make the itch worse, he scratched his chest with abandon. 
Good morning! You're going to die. 02:21, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
Creekkit wrinkled his nose at all the scents coming from that den. Should he become a medicine cat? He couldn't hunt or fight well... but he was still a kit, he had time right? 02:26, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
(nah, she needs all the training she can get) Minkpaw sighed before pushing his way into the apprentice's den. His brother was probably sleeping or something...---- Orchidbloom moved on to the apprentice's den, the elder's den, and then finally, the warrior's den again. "Yep...this is where I sleep, along with a ton of other cats. Tends to get crowded." 02:43, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
Blazefire looked up as Otterpaw began to drag himself across the clearing. Her eyes narrowed and she sprang forwards to assist her slightly insane son. " What are you doing?!"--- Otterpaw grinned garishly. " Self- experiment. Went terribly well, I'm afraid." 
Good morning! You're going to die. 02:52, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
Creekkit hadn't been around the warriors den much, only this one time when Raptortalon almost ran over him. He flicked his tail excitedly. Would Orchidbloom take him out of camp still? 02:57, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
Oh- found him! Minkpaw turned, glancing at his twin with great interest. An experiment? Seemed like it went well. "...Wicked..."---- Orchidbloom glanced down at the kit, gently prodding him with her paw. "Alright, you ready? Don't worry, I won't let anything crush you, Raptortalon should still be in camp." 02:59, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
" Let's fix you up," Blazefire grumbled, but amusement flashed in her gaze.--- Otterpaw squirmed even more. " Mum, stop!" Maybe, if Orchidbloom saw him in pain... he could be her wounded hero, and if she bent over him to weep in sorrow, he'd spit the rest of the itching poultice into her face. 
Good morning! You're going to die. 03:02, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
Creekkit let a tiny grin spread across his usuallly worried face. "Okay!" he mewed, louder then he normally was and scampered for the entrance. He stopped a whisker away from it, then remembered Orchidbloom was with him. Nothing bad would happen with her. He continued out of camp, at a slower pace. 03:04, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
Minkpaw twitched his whiskers in amusement before disappearing into the apprentice's den. Too bad for his twin, Orchidbloom was leaving camp.---- Orchidbloom made her way towards the entrance, pace cool and collected as she smoothly followed Creekkit. "First thing we'll see is the waterfall." 11:31, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
"There's a waterfall in FlameClan territory?" Creekkit mewed to himself, excited and scared at the same time. He had seen water before, only large puddles from rain, but never something that big! He pricked his ears forward. Was that little buzz the roar of the falls? 13:20, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
Reedtail had said yea to Grayfrost's question reluctantly and was currently working on moving into the nursery. The pale tabby sneering at Talonkit and glancing at Creekkit. "Should he be leaving camp? He's still a kit." She said. Before making up her mind. "Creekkit," the "queen" called. — QueerSquad
 20:00, October 21, 2016 (UTC
(Please leave them be if you could, Patch and i want then to interact) "Oh yes, right by the entrance. During the big storm many moons, it flooded, but it's fine now." She responded, pushing her way outside to nod at the small and narrow fall. "Nothing massive, but still unique." 20:04, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
Creekkit didn't hear Reedtail's call. He gazed at the fall in awe. "It's amazing!" he breathed. He'd never seen so much water in his life! Meanwhile, Talonkit glared after her brother. It wasn't fair, him being able to leave camp. Sure she had left it plenty of times without anyone knowing... but she deserved go. 20:13, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
"Perfect for swimming and fishing!" The blue smoke's eyes suddenly lit up with energy. "I'll show you where apprentices train next, maybe even teach you a little move...so you can show your sister that she doesn't know everything." 20:17, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
Creekkit didn't know what to think about the thought of swimming. He liked to splash throw puddles, so maybe he'd like to swim? He followed the she-cat as she showed him more things, excitement making his fur prickle. Maybe she could be his mentor? He hoped so, so far she was the only warrior, besides Redheart, Reedtail, and Grayfrost who had ackknowledged him, well, and Raptortalon, kind of. 20:20, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
Eventually, they came across the training area, and Orchidbloom waved her tail. "Man, it's been a bit of a while since I've been here...still messy like always!" 20:24, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
Creekkit sniffed at the ground, which was pretty ravaged by the paws of many cats. "When did you become a warrior?" he asked. 20:30, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
She paused, and thought for a moment. "...I think about a moon ago? It's pretty tough at times, but I'm sure you'll handle it just fine." Orchidbloom then twitched her whiskers in amusement. "If Raptortalon can do it, it'll be a piece of mouse for you." 20:32, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
"Oh... I think I remember..." Creekkit murmured. Would he really be a good warrior? Orchidbloom seemed to think so, but she didn't know him. He stuided the ground. "Can we... do some battle moves...?" he asked, then regretted it. What if she made fun of him for not getting it right? 20:38, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
"Sure!" Orchidbloom steadied herself, standing in a balanced stance. "We'll start with something easy, and extremely effective for you because of your current...small-ness. All you have to do is jump and cling to my side, just watch your claws." 20:40, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
Creekkit nodded. He readied himself, then sprang, missing her by a whisker, he padded back to where he started, keeping his eyes fixed to his paws, not wanting to meet her gaze. 21:02, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
"Keep trying, nobody gets anything perfectly on the first try." Orchidbloom instructed, remaining still. 21:04, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
Creekkit nodded, then sprang again. He landed on her shoulder, unsheathing his claws to get a grip. He fell off when he remembered he needed to watch them. He went back to his starting place. Preparing to leap again. 21:17, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
Orchidbloom grunted quietly as she felt his little claws prick her skin, but she did not snap. She wasn't like most cats, she had quite a long fuse. "That's fine, that's fine...you'll need to use your claws in real combat anyways. But try it without your claws now." 21:22, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
Creekkit sprang again, this time, being sure to not use his claws. He landed on her side, clinging on for dear life. 21:30, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
Otterpaw saw her leave, and knowing, knowing he would regret with every fibre of his being, spit the poultice into his mother's face.--- Blazefire recoiled, eyes flashing. " What are you doing?" Almost instantaneously, a furious itch spread up her nose and she sneezed loudly. Otterpaw watched in horrified awe as she turned her angry glare on him, 
Good morning! You're going to die. 21:41, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
Reedtail narrowed her gaze at Talonkit. "Nest. Now." She said harshly gaze filled with irritation. The pale grey tabby hadn't wanted to do this but she loved Grayfrost and if these were his kits and he wanted them so be it. — QueerSquad
 02:26, October 22, 2016 (UTC)
Talonkit returned Reedtail's glare with her pale eyes. "Why?" she said, a challenge in her mew. All Reedtail did was boss her around, it was annoying. "It's only past sunhigh." 14:11, October 22, 2016 (UTC)
Reedtail snraled angrily just as Grayfrost walked in. "I said now." She snapped. — QueerSquad
 14:32, October 22, 2016 (UTC)
Talonkit continued to glare at the she-cat, shifting her gaze to her stupid father. With a huff, puffing out her chest proudly, she padded towards the nursery. Fine! All Reedtail did was tell her to go to her nest, she'd give Reedtail a nice surprise when she returned. She glared at the mossy bedding, sinking her claws into it. 15:01, October 22, 2016 (UTC)
Reedtail smiled at her mate. "Hi," she said eyes bright. — QueerSquad
 15:19, October 22, 2016 (UTC)
Orchidbloom gazed at her side. "Good, good!" 15:27, October 22, 2016 (UTC)
Grayfrost purred and nuzzled his mates cheek. "Have the kits been behaving?" he asked. Over the past few moons, he had been growing less and less fond of his kits. ---- Feeling more confident, Creekkit clung on, now knowing that if he fell he wouldn't die. "What should I do next?" he asked, anxiously. 15:28, October 22, 2016 (UTC)
" Does it itch?" Otterpaw said hesitantly, fighting the grin threatening to spread over his features. " Does it itch?" Blazefire mocked, and Otterpaw knew he was in trouble. " We'll see if you itch when I'm done with you." Otterpaw scrambled to his paws and narrowely avoided Blazefire's teeth clicking shut on where his scruff would've been. Surprisingly, the itch was gone as he ran for his life. 
Good morning! You're going to die. 15:33, October 22, 2016 (UTC)
"Well, once you're an apprentice, we'll work on some blows you could deliver to my head, back, sides, and so on," she explained. "But, know this: if i rolled over, you'd be crushed. You've got to be very alert." 15:37, October 22, 2016 (UTC)
As Otterpaw skirted around the fresh-kill pile, he tripped right over Flypaw. " Stay there and trip Mum for me!" he called as he ran for the camp exit. Flypaw shook his head in exasperation. " We'll be warriors tomorrow, and he's still acting like this." Flypaw, the diligent student, had been practicing for his assessment. He would follow in his father's footsteps. Minkpaw and Otterpaw on the other hand... he wouldn't be surprised if they failed their first ten tries. 
Good morning! You're going to die. 15:40, October 22, 2016 (UTC)
Listening, Creekkit instantly became more alert. He let go of Orcidbloom's side and landed on the ground, moving fast, he ducked, going for her belly, he ran his paws, claws sheathed, and ran to the far end of the clearing, his fur puffed out, making him look crazy. 15:45, October 22, 2016 (UTC)
Crowfrost treated Topaz quietly, the orange tom's eyes closed. "Tourmaline..." The medicine cat pricked his ears at the name. "Is she okay..?" -- Amethyst was quite worried about her brother and her sister's kits, who had settled in with Splashheart. (hope you don't mind Mink) 15:58, October 22, 2016 (UTC)
(not at all, she'd be happy to care for the smol things) Splashheart now had several kits she was nursing some of her own and some of tourmaline's. Reedtail shrugged. "Boring and Talonkit is very mouthy." She said. — QueerSquad
 22:32, October 22, 2016 (UTC) 
Orchidbloom looked down a the black tomkit in surprise. "I'm impressed, I'll admit that." She commented, shaking out her blue-smoke fur. 00:40, October 23, 2016 (UTC)
Blazefire stared out furiously after her son, who was hiding in some ferns outside camp. Her nose itched awfully, so she went to the medicine den to look for something to treat it with. What on earth had that evil genius of a son done? 
Good morning! You're going to die. 00:46, October 23, 2016 (UTC)
Creekkit purred with pride. Even he was surprised with himself. Perhaps it was easier for him since it wasn't Talonkit breathing down his neck, yapping orders at him. "I can try something harder, I think." 00:59, October 23, 2016 (UTC)
(please do not unlink my sig thanks) Crowclaw made his way to Splashheart, he'd been speaking withher since she joined and had become a sort of a friend of hers. — QueerSquad
 02:12, October 23, 2016 (UTC) 
Crowfrost really didn't want to tell Topaz the truth, but he forced it out of himself. "She's gone, Topaz. Splashheart took them in." -- Peregrinekit, now having grown alongside his sister, Copperkit, tackled her aggressively. "Rawr! I'm Falconheart! You're whoever killed Mama." Copperkit let out a growl. "Why do you get to be Falconheart? She's female, so I deserve her!" The two kits proceeded to get into an argument. 13:24, October 23, 2016 (UTC)
Elkpaw's golden eyes met the pale green of Ospreypaw's. The quiet tabby and white tom smiled softly before glancing up. They had been hanging around Yarrowpaw and Juniperpaw, and quite oddly they all got along quite well.
"Hey, Yarrowpaw!" The russet tom called. (Insert Sarcasm)Bite Me, Dean! 14:15, October 24, 2016 (UTC)
Yarrowpaw, who had been discussing with her brother, glanced up. "Yeah?" 21:37, October 24, 2016 (UTC)
Elkpaw grinned. "Would you like to join Ospreypaw and I? We're dyingly bored." He exclaimed. Ospreypaw smiled shyly. (Insert Sarcasm)Bite Me, Dean! 13:10, October 25, 2016 (UTC)
"Er, okay." Juniperpaw glanced up as his sister moved away. Careful, Yarrowpaw. He shook his head and sighed, trying to ignore the fact that his sister, the one he loved most of all, looked so much like Quartz's brother, Topaz. 22:19, October 25, 2016 (UTC)
Elkpaw grinned before yawning. "Who're your mentors?" He asked. (Insert Sarcasm)Bite Me, Dean! 11:51, October 26, 2016 (UTC)
"My brother's got Streamwing. I've got Jaystep." Yarrowpaw glanced at her brother's mentor, who looked a bit tired. 21:28, October 26, 2016 (UTC)
"Rad!" He exclaimed. (Insert Sarcasm)Bite Me, Dean! 19:53, October 28, 2016 (UTC)
"I guess. Streamwing seems like a good mentor to him." Yarrowpaw shrugged. -- Juniperpaw fluffed his tail as he watched his mentor close her eyes. 16:43, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
Stormstar summoned his Clan to hold a handful of ceremonies, one of which was for his final litter...how proud he had become of them. "I, Stormstar, leader of FlameClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as warriors in their turn." He paused, taking in a deep breath to glance down at his four children as apprentices for the last time. "Minkpaw, Otterpaw, Flypaw, and Horsepaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do!"
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Minkpaw and Otterpaw, from this moment on you will be known as Minkdance and Otterstrike. StarClan honors your cleverness and humor, and we welcome you as a full warriors of FlameClan. Flypaw, from this moment on you will be known as Flyheart. StarClan honors your honesty and good-will, and we welcome you as a full warrior of FlameClan. And finally, Horsepaw, from this moment on you will be known as Horsestorm. StarClan honors your responsbility and good heart, and we welcome you as a full warrior of FlameClan." Of course, he had to announce the twins together....physically, they were two different cats, but spiritually, they were one. Agony beat in the leader's heart, but pride was quick to replace it. Stormstar grinned down at his litter before waiting for the Clan to go silent, moving on to the next ceremony.
"Firekit, Sandkit, Creekkit, and Talonkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Firepaw, Sandpaw, Creekpaw, and Talonpaw. Your mentors will be Raptortalon, Lionfire, Orchidbloom, and Crowclaw. I hope they will pass down all they know on to you." He then waited for the cheering to go silent before moving on to his final ceremony of the day.
"Streamwing, is it your wish to give up the name of a warrior and go to join the elders?"
"It is."
"Your Clan honors you and all the service you have given to us. I call upon StarClan to give you many moons of rest." 18:59, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
Streamwing nodded her thanks, her younger, kit-like self suddenly showing. "Frozenstream," she breathed, joining her mate. She purred, her tail flicking, her eyes bright. -- Juniperpaw pricked his ears. Somehow I knew she would do that... 19:09, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
Blazefire chanted out the names of her kittens, pride glistening in her eyes.--- Otterstrike grinned up at his father. He'd spent his apprenticeship experimenting and pranking and being an all-aroud nuisance, but now, the real fun began.--- Flyheart puffed out his chest proudly.--- Lionfire grinned and stepped forwards to greet his apprentice. 
Good morning! You're going to die. 20:12, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
Frozenstream purred softly as his mate joined him. Their daughter came up to them, her yellow eyes bright. "How did I know you were going to Join Frozenstream?" Silverfeather mewed to her mother, looking pleased for no particular reason. ---- Copperdusk puffed her chest as her son and youngest daughter became mentors. ...I'm happy for them. (whiskers, when're we going to make hawk die/maple expecting kits??) -- 21:35, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
(now? the sooner, the better) Minkdance was surprisingly fond of his name, purring to himeslf at the thought of it.---- Orchidbloom, now back at camp, touched her nose to Creekpaw's. "I guess we'll have to continue our training now, huh?" 21:41, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
(yeah, sure... also really want copper to meet some of her grandkits, so <3) Maplestripe sat by the fresh-kill pile. -- 21:44, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
Hawkstorm spotted his mate by the freshkill pile, and decided to stop on by. "Hey, how you doin'?" 21:47, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
Maplestripe looked up, purring as she saw her mate. "I'm doing great! You?" ---- Jaystep watched his siblings with their new apprentices. Now they're mentors... like me. -- 21:51, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
"Same, day's been going pretty well." The dark tom replied, slowly sitting down beside the she-cat. "Anything new with you?" 21:54, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
Maplestripe shook her dark ginger head. "Nope: nothing new here." -- 21:55, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
Hawkstorm nodded slowly, glancing around. "At least your brother isn't here right now to attempt to fight me, just because I'm sitting near you." He mumbled, although Cypressshade was really goofing around in the warrior's den. 22:00, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
Maplestripe nodded. "Cypressshade's a good brother, but... I don't like the fact that he doesn't like you, y'know?" the ginger she-cat mewed. -- 22:04, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
"Trust me, I don't like it anymore than you do." Hawkstorm grunted, nibbling on his paw. "Thankfully, he's had to deal with the fact that we're mates for moons now, he's got nothing else against me." 22:06, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
"Yeah," Maplestripe purred, feeling better at that. "Yeah, that's true." -- 22:09, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
Hawkstorm stretched out his chin. "And if he wants to break us up, he can only try, I won't let him!" 22:11, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
"I won't let him break us up, either," Maplestripe agreed, her black-ringed tail flicking. "I love you too much to let you go like that." -- 22:12, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
Hawkstorm let out a soft purr, gently nuzzling the cheek of Maplestripe. "Then I guess he'll just have to deal, huh?" 22:15, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
Maplestripe purred as Hawkstorm nuzzled her cheek. "Yeah, he will." -- 22:17, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
Hiddenshade watched his daughter with Hawkstorm from a distance, letting out a long, quiet sigh. They better not make him a grandpa...that'd mean he was old!! He didn't want to be old! 22:19, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
(oh, hiddenchild <3) Copperdusk joined her mate, feeling kind of reminiscent. ---- Outside of camp, Rainwillow was hunting... camp life sometimes got too chaotic for him, and he needed some time alone. -- 22:22, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
Hiddenshade leaned against Copperdusk, letting out a soft whine. "...I don't want to be old."---- Cypressshade finally spotted his sister with Hawkstorm, and huffed angrily. Closeness...nobody touched his sister. 22:25, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
(here we goo) Copperdusk leant against Hiddenshade as well. "...I know... me neither." ---- Maplestripe smelt Cypressshade... oh dear, this wouldn't be good. -- 22:27, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
(was she going to announce kits first, anger Cy, and then he'll kill Hawk, or does he just kill him first? i can't remember) Hiddenshade pouted. "It's not fair."---- Cypressshade got up, strut over, and pushed his way between Maplestripe and Hawkstorm before plopping his butt down on the ground. 22:32, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
(idk... what option should we go with? reckon the first options sounds good, if he knows that maple's having hawk's kits, that'll really annoy him) Maplestripe blinked as her brother shoved her and her mate apart. "Cypressshade...? What are you doing?" -- 22:35, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
(ye, i like the sound of it too) Cypressshade snorted. "Sitting, duh." 22:37, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
(kk. also, I gtg, so continue this later??) Maplestripe snorted. "You just came and sat in between my mate and I," she mewed, "and I wasn't finished talking with him." She'd seen Crowfrost the other day, because she'd been feeling sick... no other cat knew why yet, and Hawkstorm - of course - had to be the first to know why. -- 22:40, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
(sure) "Yes, yes I did." The smoke tabby declared almost proud, letting out a big huff. "And I didn't say you were finished talking, so go 'head- finish your little conversation." 22:42, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
Creekpaw touched his nose to Orchidbloom's, feeling shocked he really got her as his mentor. "Y-yeah!" he manged to squeak. Talonpaw touched her nose to her mentors. She didn't know Crowclaw. Hopefully he wasn't stupid. 23:12, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
Otterstrike shoulder-butted his dad. " We're going to make life so interesting, you'll wonder what you did without us."--- Lionfire studied Sandpaw. " Ready to start?" 
Good morning! You're going to die. 23:26, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
Maplestripe felt a little... uncomfortable. If she told him, he'd be very angry... and that wouldn't be good. "I'd rather tell Hawkstorm alone about what I want to say next." -- 01:15, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
The leader groaned. "I've a bad feeling about this..."---- Cypressshade flattened his ears. "Oh? And you can't tell your own brother?"---- Orchidbloom purred. "Go make your nest, and we'll finish our territory tour." 01:31, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
Otterpaw laughed. " That's the best part."--- Flyheart leaped down from the Highwhatsit to greet his mother, who purred loudly and rested her chin on his head. 
Good morning! You're going to die. 01:45, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
"I..." Maplestripe knew that she couldn't hide now... oh great, Cypressshade was going to be furious with her!! "I... I was going to tell you afterwards, but... fine." The queen took a breath, scared of how her brother would react... "Cypressshade, I'm expecting Hawkstorm's kits. That's what I wanted to tell him." -- 01:51, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
Crowclaw had recently become mates with Splashheart, the new queen, and had taken in her kittens. The black warrior looked up when his name was called to mentor a cat. Oh sheesh! He thought. He stood saying goodbye to Splashheart for now. "Hm.." was all he could say to the puny looking cat before him. At least he'd be able to train her, she'd become a great warrior through him. "We'll be starting out with battle training." He said before leading the way out of camp. (Insert Sarcasm)Bite Me, Dean! 03:56, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
Hawkstorm's eyes grew round. "....yeah, should've said that in private." With an angry howl, Cypressshade attacked the Tom. "No-good cheater!!"---- Raptortalon was about to instruct his apprentice, only to watch his brother in terror. ---- "For you, that is." Stormstar grunted. 04:19, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
"He's not a cheater!" Maplestripe screeched, frozen in terror. I knew something bad would happen! What have I done!? -- 04:35, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
"You don't know the Hawkstorm, I do!" Cypressshade bared his fangs before driving them into the neck of Hawkstorm, ignoring his squirming. 04:38, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
Maplestripe could only watch as her brother bit into Hawkstorm's neck. "What in the name of StarClan...? Cypressshade, what have you done!?!" -- 06:10, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
Falconheart pricked her ears; she had watched the whole situation. She felt her rage strongly, but kept still - she'd grieve and be mad later. Sighing, she kept her eyes narrowed, eventually deciding she'd have to interfere at some point. 10:54, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
Brightwhisker turned and stared in shock. 
Good morning! You're going to die. 11:51, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
Talonpaw nodded, following her mentor. Battle training as the first thing? Perhaps this cat wouldn't be so bad... ---- Creekpaw nodded and hurried to the apprentices den. 15:10, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
Stormstar stiffened, immediately striding forward. "Cypressshade, stop this-" but he was too late. Cypressshade bit down harder. "Admit your crimes, Dark Forest scum!" He snarled through the flesh and blood of Hawkstorm. "Admit it!!" Hawkstorm squirmed, eyes darkening as he narrowed them to slits. "...I had more mates than Maplestripe...and I'm proud to admit it." With that, the dark warrior went limp underneath Cypressshade. 15:30, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
Otterstrike gaped openly, staring at Hawkstorm's prone body and the blood seeping into the ground.--- " Cypressshade!" Brightwhisker gasped. " What have you done?" 
Good morning! You're going to die. 16:27, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
Falconheart, her eyes widening, pushed herself up and approached her son's body. "What have you done, Cypressshade?" she murmured quietly, her grief overtaking her. She took a glance back at Maplestripe and sighed. "I'm sorry." She let herself drop to the ground. 16:58, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
Maplestripe could only stare in shock. Hawkstorm was dead... and he betrayed her. Sobbing, the queen pressed against Falconheart, looking miserable. -- 18:27, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
Cypressshade hadn't intended on killing the tom, but he stood tall and proud nonetheless, ears flattened. "He was a liar and a cheater! Cats like him deserve to rot in the Dark Forest." The smoke tom growled, glowering down a the no-good corpse of Hawkstorm. "...Nothing but a cold-hearted traitor." 18:35, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
"But you still shouldn't have killed him!" Maplestripe yowled. The dark ginger queen was quite visibly upset, and wasn't happy at all. "Hawkstorm was a member of FlameClan. You shouldn't kill your own Clanmates!" -- 18:42, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
"I didn't mean to kill him!" The smoke warrior snapped back. "And if he hadn't been meant to die, then he wouldn't have. But he did, and I didn't even try." 18:45, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
"Even if he was a player, you shouldn't have killed him," Falconheart murmured quietly. "However unintentional it was, you shouldn't be proud of killing - it's an outrage. Maplestripe's kits have no father, thanks to you." 18:46, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
Maplestripe made a noise into Falconheart's shoulder as an agreement. -- 18:48, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
"I never said i was proud of killing him!" Snarled Cypressshade with a lash of his tail. "My sister had her family, and no matter what, we'll love her and will never betray her for some other cats. Hawkstorm only got what he deserved, and who's to say he would have ever stuck around to be a father? He left all of his other mates to go play around more." 18:51, October 30, 2016 (UTC) 
Flyheart attempted to come closer for a better look at the scene, but Blazefire pushed him back.--- Brightwhisker continued to stare, eyes pooling with fury and horror. 
Good morning! You're going to die. 18:55, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
Stormstar stepped forward, deciding to intervene. "Enough!" His echoing yowl covered the entire camp, his tail lashing slightly. "Hawkstorm is dead: nothing can fix that, and arguing will only make matters worse. He had his death coming for not only betraying his mate, but his Clan. Cypressshade's ways of...resolving the issue wasn't the best idea, but it was an accident. Regardless, his actions were poor, but yelling at him won't change anything." 18:58, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
" So it's okay, then?" Flyheart hissed. " To kill his Clanmate because he was angry? You're letting him get away scot-free!"--- " Flyheart!" Blazefire snapped. 
Good morning! You're going to die. 19:00, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
"Flyheart!" The leader's voice was hot with fury, and harsh without holding a thing back. "I just ordered you to keep quiet! If you were listening, Cypressshade's actions were an accident, punishment is meant for those who do things on purpose with the intention of causing nothing but trouble." 19:01, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
Flyheart felt his skin flush with embarrasmet and anger. His own eyes were bright with anger as he stared right back at his father. " This," he snarled, " is not okay. And you all know it." Flyheart spat and stomped away.--- Otterstrike whistled softly. " Daaang." 
Good morning! You're going to die. 19:05, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
Minkdance turned to his twin, grinning to himself. "Ickle Flykins getting his feeling hurt is not okay!" The ginger warrior mocked with a pouty look on his face, pushing out a single lip. 19:06, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
Otterstrike chuckled. " Seriously, though. This is heavy stuff," he said, looking out at Cypressshade and the body at his paws. Louder, he called, " Dad, you should totally make Flyheart your advisor. Or something." 
Good morning! You're going to die. 19:11, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
Falconheart turned her gaze to Stormstar. "I agree that arguing is out of the question - but what Flyheart said is right, in a sense. Much as I understand that accidents happen, cats don't deserve to die because someone is angry." She placed her tail on Maplestripe's flank. "Now, that's all I have to say about this issue. Poor Maplestripe's devastated and I need to help her recover." The warrior dipped her head and greived silently. 19:15, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
The leader waved his paw as he walked off. "And have FlameClan's status and reputation nosedive into the Dirtplace because a ScorchClan cat calls him too uptight? I think not." He responded to Otterstrike with a soft huff.---- Minkdance giggle-snorted at his father's comment. "Dad seems pretty upset. But I gotta admit: I feel for Cypressshade, I'd kick the can of whatever prat decided to become our sister's mate, and then cheat on her." 19:16, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
Otterstrike snorted. " Dad, we're already in the dirtplace. Don't kid yourself, it stinks." He then turned his his twin and shrugged. " No one's becoming Horsestorm's mate without having an intense conversation with me." 
Good morning! You're going to die. 19:20, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
"With me, you, and our claws." Minkdance agreed with a flex of his little claws. "Shame though...that Orchidbloom got an apprentice." 19:21, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
" Lucky prat," Otterstrike sighed, scanning the crowd for the she-cat he'd come to... well, more than crush on and enjoy teasing. Oh, no, was he, Otterstrike the sarcastic wonder, becoming a romantic sap? 
Good morning! You're going to die. 19:24, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
Minkdance gave his twin a small shove with his broadening shoulder. "I think she's become even lovelier over the past few moons, don't you think?" 19:30, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
Otterstrike shoved Minkdance lightly in return and flicked him with his tail. " Not at all." 
Good morning! You're going to die. 19:33, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
"Oh?" Minkdance gave his twin a playful grin. "Then I guess you don't fancy her...shame, she's all mine then." 19:37, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
" It would be a shame," Otterstrike agreed, grinning back, "except she doesn't fancy you at all. She's totally fallen for me, mate," he said, sighting the she-cat and not being able to stop the idiotic grin breaking out on his face. 
Good morning! You're going to die. 19:47, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
Coming up from behind her two mooning brother, Horsestorm cuffed the two twins over the ears. "I think she sees the two of you as complete idiots." 19:48, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
Otterstrike smirked at his 'baby' sister. " Loveable idiots, Horsie, loveable." 
Good morning! You're going to die. 19:51, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
The ginger tabby she-cat let out a soft snort. "Whatever you say, Otterstrike, whatever you say." 19:52, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
Otterstrike pushed himself up and wrapped his tail around her shoulders, leaning in conspirationally. " Anyone you fancy, Horsestorm?" 
Good morning! You're going to die. 19:57, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
Horsestorm rolled her eyes. "The only thing I fancy is watching you two squirm at the thought of Orchidbloom falling for someone else." 20:01, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
" Excellent way of avoiding the question," Otterstrike said, cocking an eyebrow at her. " That's not happening. She's smitten with me." 
Good morning! You're going to die. 20:08, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
Maplestripe trailed over to the nursery, still feeling quite delusional. -- 03:17, October 31, 2016 (UTC)
Falconheart followed behind Maplestripe, hoping to see Copperkit and Peregrinekit. She really hoped they weren't arguing - she noticed that their arguing appeared to be quite common. 22:42, November 1, 2016 (UTC)
"So which moves are we doing first?" Talonpaw asked, trotting alongside her mentor, keeping his pace. Her fur fluffed out with excitement. She would at last be a warrior, all she ever dreamed of, and better yet, she wouldn't have Reedtail breathing down her neck all the time! All because she was half-clan... She let out a snort. She didn't approve much of her real mother being stupid and young, but she was still her mother. She didn't really remember Lavaspark, but she still felt some kind of... connection with her...
After building his nest for awhile, Creekpaw finished, admiring his work, then trotted out of the den, looking for Orchidbloom. What would they do first?
Meanwhile, Redheart boredly pushed a pebble with her paw. Grayfrost padded over to the fresh-kill pile and picked up a mouse for Reedtail. He hadn't even payed attention to his kits becoming apprentices; they wouldn't do the Clan well, they were half-clan. 23:08, November 1, 2016 (UTC)
Orchidbloom pricked her ears as she noticed her black-pelted apprentice leaving the apprentice's den, and she swiftly approached him. "Alright, ready for the full tour of the territory?"---- Horsestorm rolled her eyes. "Don't get ahead of yourself." 20:18, November 2, 2016 (UTC)]
Creekpaw nodded, the tip of his tail twitching with excitement. 23:02, November 3, 2016 (UTC)
Topaz, having recovered, now talked quietly with Amethyst and Yarrowpaw. The apprentice was quite excited - she'd be getting her warrior name today! Yes! Finally, it's here! She glanced at her brother and shouted to him, "C'mere! Let's discuss names!" She swear she thought she'd be so cool as something like...like...Yarrowclaw? Yarrowwhisker? Yarrowheart? Yarrowshade? Yarrowstorm? And what about my brother? Junipersplash? Juniperstream? Juniper..uh..bush? 19:02, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
Rainwillow sat outside the warriors' den. ---- In the nursery, Maplestripe was sleeping, her swollen belly noticeable. She was still upset about Hawkstorm's betrayal and death... obviously. -- 21:41, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
Hopfoot padded into camp she dropped a mouse on the ground and glanced around. She quickly spotted her mate Rainwillow and padded over. "Hey there," she murmured. 21:44, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
Rainwillow's flecked gray tail twitched happily as his mate approached. "Hey! How was the hunting?" he purred. -- 21:47, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
"Oh it was fine," she replied quietly. "How are you today?" she asked, purring softly. 21:50, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
Rainwillow shrugged. "Nothing out of the ordinary's happened, so... I'd assume that would be a good thing?" he mewed. -- 21:52, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
Hopfoot nodded and glanced around. "So, what do you want to do?" she asked, tilting her head. 21:56, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
Rainwillow rose to his paws, stretching. "I wouldn't mind a walk... or at least something to do." The gray tom paused, thinking. "...But we can stay in camp if you want, as I know you've just been hunting..." -- 21:59, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
"No, I'd love to take a walk. it's kinda out thing isn't it?" She purred softly, she pushed herself up and waited for him. 22:05, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
"Definitely," Rainwillow mewed, padding over to the camp entrance. -- 22:07, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
Hopfoot limped beside him, her blue eyes warm. "Thanks for not rejecting me," she mumbled. 22:10, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
Rainwillow nodded, but her words had triggered him into his own thoughts. Thanks for not rejecting me, Hopfoot. -- 22:12, November 5, 2016 
(UTC)
"Hey, you okay?" She asked, looking concerned. She gently nuzzled him and blinked up at him. 22:23, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
"Yeah, I'm alright," Rainwillow mewed, as he looked down at his mate nuzzling him. "I was just... off in thought." -- 22:26, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
"What were you thinking about dear?" She asked softly. 22:32, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
Okay, she's got me now. Rainwillow smiled sadly. "I was thinking... you know how you said that I never rejected me? Well... you didn't reject me either." -- 22:34, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
"I'd never reject you love, before I asked you to be my mate I had a crush on you." She murmured, she then pressed against him gently. 22:39, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
Having no words to reply to this with, Rainwillow purred, pressing against Hopfoot. -- 22:41, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
"You are amazing.." She mumbled, purring softly. 22:49, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
Rainwillow purred loudly. "Thanks... you're amazing, too." -- 22:51, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
"Thank you." she replied, staying close to him. 23:26, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
Rainwillow nodded, continuing to purr. ---- Back at camp, Jaystep ate a shrew near the warriors' den. -- 00:00, November 6, 2016 (UTC)
"So, what do you want to talk about?" She asked softly. 00:08, November 6, 2016 (UTC)
Redheart padded softly into camp, carrying a shrew and a robin. Her mother, Duskfrost, had recently died. But... she didn't feel that sad... in fact, she felt... free... Her mother would never be there to judge her again, she could at last be proud of herself. She glanced at her brother, who didn't seem to care... well... he didn't seem to care about anything anymore. What happened to the kind tom she once knew? 01:05, November 6, 2016 (UTC)
"I don't know..." Rainwillow mewed, drifting off into happy thoughts. -- 01:12, November 6, 2016 (UTC)
Copperkit poked her head over her adoptive mother's shoulder, her eyes catching sight of Maplestripe. "Hey, why do you look so sad?" 01:19, November 6, 2016 (UTC)
Maplestripe, barely hearing Copperkit, rolled over. "Stuff happened," the queen mewed sleepily, curling up into a ball - or what she could make of a ball, considering her swollen belly made that hard for her - and going back to sleep. -- 03:12, November 6, 2016 (UTC)
Copperkit cocked her head and thought for a minute. What stuff? Stuff like...Papa not visiting Peregrinekit and I? 03:18, November 6, 2016 (UTC)
(simple ceremony, extremely tired) Stormstar summoned his Clan. "I, Stormstar, leader of FlameCla, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as a warriors in their turn. Elkpaw, Ospreypaw, Juniperpaw, and Yarrowpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do."
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Elkpaw, Ospreypaw, Juniperpaw, and Yarrowpaw, from this moment you will be known as Elkheart, Ospreystorm, Juniperstream, and Yarrowwhisker. StarClan honors your courage, and we welcome you as a full warrior of FlameClan." 03:40, November 6, 2016 (UTC)
Elkheart beamed proudly while Ospreystorm had his usual look on. He'd learnt to talk more than he usually did but only when he had too. "I say we celebrate, eh?" He called out to his "squad"; whch consisted of Ospreystorm, Yarrowwhisker, and Juniperstream. The solid chocolate smoke tom lashe dhis thin tail befre turning to the tabby and white tom he knew as his love interest. Ospreystorm looked up at the solid warrior. Maybe just maybe me and him could talk? The tabby and white tom said.
Reedtail knew she had been feeling sick lately but had ignored it. She was a strong warrior and had recently gone back to the Warriors den since she had adopted Grayfrost's kits. She'd become slightly close to Creekpaw. The slender warrior turned as she watched her "son" walk into Talonpaw with him. Her eyes narrowed at the mottled cat. 'Creekpaw," the molly purred greeting the apprentice. However her greeting to Talonpaw was very cold, in fact she didn't acknowledge her. (Insert Sarcasm)Bite Me, Dean! 05:44, November 6, 2016 (UTC)
Talonpaw huffed outside the apprentices den after training. Why didn't Reedtail like her? What had she ever done to make the warrior hate her? Yeah, she caused some trouble here and there... but all kits do that. She prefers Creekpaw. Why? She suddenly felt resentful towards her brother. Why did he always get so much attention, but she was just... like... there. Like a shadow or something... Meanwhile, Redheart cheered her former apprentices warrior name with the rest of her Clan. 13:42, November 6, 2016 (UTC)
(whoops, forgot about her kitting, let's do it now) Maplestripe woke up from her sleep to an stabbing pain in her swollen belly... her kits were coming. In pain, she let out a moan. -- 23:15, November 14, 2016 (UTC)
Peregrinekit poked his sister. "Something's wrong, Copper." 01:28, November 15, 2016 (UTC)
Copperdusk, who was organizing patrols at the time, heard Maplestripe's yowl. Of course, she'd heard about her expecting Hawkstorm's kits... not an overly wise choice, but... these kits were going to make her feel old. After telling a senior warrior to finish the patrols for her, she went over to the nursery. "Maplestripe...? Do you need Crowfrost?" The queen nodded, her green eyes pained as she gritted her teeth - causing Copperdusk to go the medicine den. "Creowfrost, Crowfrost, you in there? Maplestripe needs you." -- 02:37, November 15, 2016 (UTC)
Reedtail sat outside the nursery, her swollen torso a tiny bump on her slender body. The queen had been waiting for her mate to return.
Ospreystorm lay basking in the sun with Elkheart, Yarrowhisker, and Juniperstream. (Insert Sarcasm)Bite Me, Dean! 13:48, November 15, 2016 (UTC)
Grayfrost padded into camp, back from a patrol. He ignored Talonpaw who sat outside the apprentices den and went over to Reedtail and purred. "Hello," 21:01, November 15, 2016 (UTC)
Crowfrost pricked his ears; he'd been pulling a thorn out of Topaz's paw. Cautiously, he finished his work, eventually licking the blood away as the orange tom let out a yelp. The salty tang remained in his mouth for a moment as he walked towards Copperdusk, following his enhanced senses of smell and sound to pinpoint exactly what was wrong. "Just a moment." He quickly grabbed the needed herbs and stick in his jaws, trotting towards where he thought the nursery was - only nicking his ear breifly on the brambles, which he felt the pain of but didn't bother to clean it - he had something bigger to deal with. 22:31, November 15, 2016 (UTC)
"Hi, Crowfrost," Maplestripe panted, as the medicine cat came into the den. "I think I'm kitting, my -" she broke off as a stabbing pain hit her stomach again, before gritting her teeth, "...stomach hurts. How many kits am I going to have...?" -- 22:38, November 15, 2016 (UTC)
"Of course you're kitting," the tom said gently, recalling the memories of his early experiences with queens. "You're going to be okay, alright? I can't say for certain how many there's going to be, but you're at least going to have a helper, if there's a lot of course." He glanced back to where he thought was outside and scented his chosen caretaker. "Falconheart and I have already discussed about her helping out here when needed." He nudged the stick towards the queen, whispering, "Grasp onto this. It'll help you cope with the pain - at least a little bit." He chuckled softly and thought breifly, And it won't give anyone much of a headache. 23:01, November 15, 2016 (UTC)
Maplestripe nodded, before another spasm hit and she bit on the stick. Gradually, the pain was getting worse, and soon her first kit would come. -- 23:23, November 15, 2016 (UTC)
Cypressshade paced outside of the nursery upon hearing that his sister was kitting, worry glowing in his eyes. He had tried to enter, for he wished to be there for his sister and offer his support and comfort, but Hiddenshade had blocked his son from entering...who knew how she felt about her brother, and the former leader didn't want to put anymore stress upon his daughter. 00:19, November 16, 2016 (UTC)
Copperdusk also waited outside the nursery with Hiddenshade, and Jaystep was also there. Their ears pricked as Maplestripe yowled from inside the nursery, giving birth to her first kit - a golden-brown tabby. (that's buzzard, coal's next) -- 02:27, November 16, 2016 (UTC)
Hiddenshade kept a keen eye on Cypressshade, the young warrior seemed to be growing greatly worried. 22:32, November 16, 2016 (UTC)
After the first kit - a tom - was born, the pain subsided for a moment, before coming back. Soon after, her second and final kit was born - a dark ruddy tabby, and the pain left the queen completely. -- 23:28, November 16, 2016 (UTC)
Crowfrost purred. "...Two kits, Cypressshade," he called, quickly licking the kits' fur dry. ---- Falconheart smiled and glanced towards the entrance. "If she's okay with you coming in, you can." 21:21, November 19, 2016 (UTC)
"Yeah, he can come in," Maplestripe mewed, yawning, "and my other siblings and my parents as well, if they all be quiet." The dark ginger queen looked down at her sons - she'd choose both of their names... as of course, they had no father. ---- Copperdusk stretched. "I might go in... Crowfrost, are they she-cats or toms? Or one of each?" -- 02:45, November 20, 2016 (UTC)
"Two toms," the medicine cat answered quickly, licking a paw to lightly tap his ear. 02:57, November 20, 2016 (UTC)
(just gonna correct your post, stormver, if you don't mind: they're both toms.) Copperdusk nodded. "Okay, thanks," the deputy mewed, nodding. ---- Maplestripe groomed her eldest son's back as he fell asleep. -- 07:12, November 20, 2016 (UTC)
(Stormver should the QueerSquad leave camp or something? Maybe go exploring into a diff territory? DC maybe??) Elkheart laughed at Ospreystorm's lame joke. "Are you sure?" He asked with a light smile. Ospreystorm glanced at his frined. "Of course, have you seen Stormstar?" He said half-heartedly. "He's a great leader but his age is getting to him, it seems."
Reedtail smiled at her mate. "Evening," she greeted Grayfrost. "Do you know when Creekpaw will be getting back. He's taken up to Orchidblom." She commented. (Insert Sarcasm)Bite Me, Dean! 04:07, November 21, 2016 (UTC)
(Please don't make assumptions about Stormstar, even if about his age, he's an extremely special character to me. Even at his "age", he'll always remain spontaneous and youthful, as if he's still an apprentice.) Cypressshade leaned forward eagerly, Hiddenshade grunting at the weight of his young son. The former leader than glanced over at Copperdusk, his eyes glowing with amusement. "Oh? Sounds like someone was hoping for a granddaughter that she could spoil rotten." 04:33, November 21, 2016 (UTC)
(Oh I wasn't making assumtions, they were just making conversation about his age. I apologize if it was seen as something else) Ospreystorm shrugged. "He's seems pretty energetic though despite however old he is." Elkheart nodded agreement. "He's a very good leader, the best I've seen."
"He's the only one you've seen, fox-breath." The familiar voice of Elkheart's sister, Lilyheart snapped cheekily. (Insert Sarcasm)Bite Me, Dean! 05:42, November 21, 2016 (UTC)
Ashbreeze returned from ScorchClan by herself, swiftly trotting over to her father before taking in a deep breath. Well, life...it's be fun, and it's been real...but it wasn't real fun. The pale tabby glanced up at her father shyly. "Hey, um...dad, I need to talk with you 'n mom, privately." 00:30, November 22, 2016 (UTC)
(@mink: sure) Yarrowwhisker was bored, so she called to her brother and her friends. "Let's go somewhere new." 01:03, November 22, 2016 (UTC)
"No, I wasn't!" Copperdusk mewed, cheekily, before dropping her voice. "Should we go in and see her, then?" -- 01:12, November 22, 2016 (UTC)
Blazefire's ears pricked in reognition of her daughter's entrance. 
Good morning! You're going to die. 01:48, November 22, 2016 (UTC)
Grayfrost shrugged. "I dunno," he glanced over to the camp entrance, just then spotting Creekpaw scampering into camp with a bunch of moss. "He's back now I guess." 03:32, November 22, 2016 (UTC)
Ashbreeze waved her tail to her mother as well. "You might wanna hear what I have to say, too..." The pale tabby shuffled her dusted paws before Stormstar narrowed his eyes to pass his daughter a suspicious glance before leading both the pale tabby and Blazefire into the leader's den for a private conversation that nobody would overhear.---- Orchidbloom curiously peered over her older brother, father, and mother, stretching up as high as she could on her pale legs. Hiddenshade nodded eagerly. "We best see them before they're giant warriors, and we're grumpy old elders." 03:38, November 22, 2016 (UTC)
"Yeah, whatever, I'm not going to be a grumpy elder," Copperdusk mewed, rolling her eyes. "Come on, let's go in." The dark ginger she-cat padded into the nursery. ---- After his parents and siblings went in, Jaystep followed. -- 05:57, November 22, 2016 (UTC)
The black smoke senior warrior trotted after his mate, ears pricked as Cypressshade followed very close behind, with Orchidbloom following.---- Ashbreeze took in a deep breath, peering outside to make sure nobody was outside. Good...nobody was in earshot. She turned to her parents as they sat in the leader's den, her heart pounding in her chest like the paws of a sprinting warrior. "...I-I'm...I didn't expect this all, and I don't even know how it happened, but...I'm expecting Alderstar's kits." 23:32, November 22, 2016 (UTC)
Blazefire settled down, warching her daughter, slightly worried. At Ashbreeze's announcement, her eyes grew wide and her tail rose. " You're..." Blazefire managed to say, finally. She let out a long, pent-up breath. " Dear StarClan." 
Good morning! You're going to die. 23:58, November 22, 2016 (UTC)
Ashbreeze cowered away from her parents, ears lowered as she glanced off in another direction, feeling like trash. She dare not glance at her sire and dam. She awaited her father's harsh comment, growing tense as the silence went on...until there was a soft thud, and then Stormstar was on the ground. Of course, he had fainted. 03:02, November 23, 2016 (UTC)
Blazefire stared at her mate. " Useless- completely useless," she muttered, and then turned back to Ashbreeze. " I don't know what to say," she admitted to her daughter. " I just don't. You make your own choices now- I can only guide you through this one. I'm disappointed in you, Ashbreeze, very disappointed." Blazefire was silent for a few moments before closing her eyes. " Just- go see Crowfrost, or make yourself a nest in the nursery... I don't know..." 
Good morning! You're going to die. 03:09, November 23, 2016 (UTC)
Agony nipped at Ashbreeze's heart, and sorrow swallowed up the emotion of nervousness that had formerly swam in the blue optics of the young warrior. Disappointed...? The warrior had expected them to be supporting of her, pushing her to be a great mother, even if she hadn't planned to be an expecting queen. Why weren't they as joyful as Hiddenshade and Copperdusk? The aging pair had eagerly gone to visit their daughter after she had given birth, despite picking a poor father. And her parents...? Stormstar fell over, and her mother only showed disappointment. How in the name of StarClan would she get through this? Her parents weren't behind her, and her siblings didn't even have the slightest interest in offspring.
Slowly, the pale tabby exited her father's den, head bowed. She had no plans of going to visit Crowfrost- she already knew that she was pregnant. Asking again would only be a waste of time, and only make her even more heart broken. 03:16, November 23, 2016 (UTC)
Blazefire continued to exhale deeply, loosing herself in thought.--- " Ashbreeze!" Brightwhisker called, raising her tail in greeting to her sister. 
Good morning! You're going to die. 03:17, November 23, 2016 (UTC)
Could she even bear to look at the mere sight of her sister? How disappointed in her would Brightwhisker be? She didn't even need to ask about Tornadostorm...he'd probably vomit on the spot. "Oh, hey, Brightwhisker," 03:20, November 23, 2016 (UTC)
The overjoyed ginger she-cat didn't seem to notice Ashbreeze's mood. She bounced on her paws like an excited kitten. " It's been a while, you've missed so much. Those idiots- Otter and Mink- they're warriors now, can you believe it? How are you? How's ScorchClan?" the she-cat babbled, clearly over the moon at seeing her sister again. 
Good morning! You're going to die. 03:23, November 23, 2016 (UTC)
"Oh, what're their names? I take it Horsepaw got her warrior name as well- surely if those two did, she must've." Ashbreeze flicked her tail, thankful that her sister hadn't noticed her slightly larger belly, but it wasn't like many others had noticed either...at least, not yet. "I'm...ok. ScorchClan's fine, Alderstar and I had a pretty good time, we got to hunt together, and he had to hold some ceremonies as well." 03:26, November 23, 2016 (UTC)
Brightwhisker's tail flicked from side to side. " Otterstrike, Minkdance, Horsestorm... and Flyheart. That's... nice, I guess, but he seems awfully boring. I can't imagine what you have to talk about," Brightwhisker snorted. " The weather? ScorchClan politics, if they have any?" 
Good morning! You're going to die. 03:30, November 23, 2016 (UTC)
As she and her family padded in, Copperdusk's eyes flicked onto her grandsons. "Oh, Maplestripe..." she whiskered. They looked more like Maplestripe than their father... well, from the pelt colours anyway. "They're beautiful... have you named them yet?" -- 03:31, November 23, 2016 (UTC)
Frowning, the tabby put her head to the side slightly, feeling unusually...defensive for the ScorchClan leader. "It's like dad, he's just...needs to act 'boring' in public, professional and what not. He's pretty fun to be around when he's not swamped with duties." Politics? Ashbreeze let out a soft snort. "So you're into 'ScorchClan politics' now, huh? And you're calling Alderstar boring~"
Cypressshade squirmed about, attempting to get a better look at his nephews. 03:35, November 23, 2016 (UTC)
Brightwhisker grinned. " Sorry, did not mean to insult your precious Alderstar. And, wow, I have always been interested in politics. I'm very political." 
Good morning! You're going to die. 03:37, November 23, 2016 (UTC)
Maplestripe shook her head. "No, haven't named them yet, but I've been thinking of names." ---- Jaystep was also trying to get a look at his sister's kits... which was hard, as he was at the back of the small group of cats. -- 03:38, November 23, 2016 (UTC)
Ashbreeze rolled her eyes. "Dear StarClan, Brightwhisker...and I thought you were in the 'cool club' with Tornadostorm and his little gang!" She teased gently.---- Raptortalon didn't bother to swarm the nursery with his siblings and parents- instead, he jumped up and down outside, attempting to take a glance at his nephews. 03:43, November 23, 2016 (UTC)
" Sister... I am the "cool club". I'm Tornadobutt's only friend," Brightwhisker teased and shoved her sister gently. 
Good morning! You're going to die. 03:46, November 23, 2016 (UTC)
Falconheart had called Crowfrost over to take a look at Peregrinekit and Copperkit, and the medicine cat carefully checked for injuries. The senior warrior gasped after a moment, stuttering, "C-Crowfrost, your ear...!" The tom shrugged and shook his head. "It's something that can wait. As for Copperkit and Peregrinekit-" he heard her yip as Peregrinekit bit her tailtip- "they're a-okay." 10:14, November 23, 2016 (UTC)
Riverwillow was supposed to be on a patrol, but had wondered away from them mindlessly humming to herself. She had found a pretty pebble. She loved shiny things, and this pebble was too much... she couldn't leave it all alone and sad on the ground. She would take it back to camp, and put it under her nest with her other pebbles. It would then have friends. She realized she had walked away from a patrol after she passed over a scent trail. Umm.... should I follow them? She thought, uneasily. Then she shrugged. This pebble was way more important then a patrol. 
Meanwhile... Boulderpaw trampled through the fresh-kill pile, snorting loudly as she rooted through the prey, trying to find the fattest one. Yum... Violetheart hurried over to her daughter, a stern look plastered on her face. She pulled her away, and Boulderpaw let out a yelp of surprise. "Hey, I'm doing something!" her daughter protested. 21:44, November 23, 2016 (UTC)
Ferretpaw walked into camp, her pelt dry and dirty from training with Crowclaw. The silver tabby apprentice yawned tired already. Maybe she could take a quick nap? (Insert Sarcasm)Bite Me, Dean! 16:16, November 24, 2016 (UTC)
"I never knew that 'cool club' meant being into politics." Ashbreeze twitched her whiskers in amusement. "Sure sounds very fun."
Ace raced about the nursery like an insane idiot, the kit's energy seemingly endless. He was very clumsy, but it almost seemed to be...on purpose? He was crafty for sure, he had a way with words that could almost be consider charming...although his mother found his little games to be quite annoying. Regardless, Meadowsong was planning on leaving the Clan with her son, and soon. 16:29, November 24, 2016 (UTC)
" Well, you wouldn't know, since you're not in it," Brightwhisker joked. She heard a crash in the nursery and twitched her whiskers- Ace was a clever idiot. "... by the way, Ashbreeze, good luck with the kits." 
Good morning! You're going to die. 16:35, November 24, 2016 (UTC)
The expecting pale tabby shifted uncomfortably. "...You know?" 16:36, November 24, 2016 (UTC)
Brightwhisker nodded. " I'm not stupid- and you smell like Blazefire did when she was expecting those turds we call younger siblings," the ginger cat said. " I'll be here for you... even if Blazefire and Stormstar aren't." 
Good morning! You're going to die. 16:38, November 24, 2016 (UTC)
Ashbreeze kept her gaze locked on the ground as her sister mentioned their parents. She shuffled her dainty paws slowly, churning up the dirt. "...dad fainted when I told him the news...and mom was very disappointed in me." 16:46, November 24, 2016 (UTC)
Brightwhisker let out a long breath, tail swishing along the earth. "... knowing them, what did you expect? Honestly, Ashbreeze, I'm surprised, but whatever. I'll look after you if they won't- you'll be staying here, won't you?" her expression said you'd better stay here. 
Good morning! You're going to die. 16:55, November 24, 2016 (UTC)
Ashbreeze rolled her eyes. "I'll need to visit Alderstar again at some point, they're his kits as well, Brightwhisker. But don't worry, when I'm due, I'll stick around here." 17:41, November 24, 2016 (UTC)
Brightwhisker frowned as though the idea of Alderstar annoyed her. " Well-fine. But I expect you to name your kits after me, and tell them to worship me as a goddess." 
Good morning! You're going to die. 17:46, November 24, 2016 (UTC)
Ashbreeze let out a soft snort of amusement. "Right, I'll name 2/3's of them Brightkit, and the final 1/3 Whiskerkit." 18:49, November 24, 2016 (UTC)
Brightwhisker snickered, absently twitching an ear as a fly landed on it. " There can never be too many Brightkits, dear sister. And, look- I just saved you all the trouble of naming them." 
Good morning! You're going to die. 19:08, November 24, 2016 (UTC)
"I think if there was another Brightwhisker or Tornadostorm, the entire territory would burst into flames." Ashbreeze remarked with a small side-grin. 19:12, November 24, 2016 (UTC)
" And everyone knows it," Brightwhisker snorted. It was so unlike the she-cat to be interesting in kits and motherly that what she said took even herself by surprise. " So... how many? What'll their names be?" 
Good morning! You're going to die. 19:14, November 24, 2016 (UTC)
Ashbreeze shrugged her slender shoulders at her sister's question. "No idea, I'm not too far along...thank StarClan to that. I'm not looking foward to getting plump." She let her odd eyes flutter to the sky. "Me 'n Alderstar haven't discussed names yet...he didn't seem extremely thrilled to find out we were having kits, but it's not like I was either." 19:18, November 24, 2016 (UTC)
Brightwhisker shook out her thick fur, wrinkling her snout. " It'll be awful- have fun suffering," she frowned at Ashbreeze's later comment. " He's not being nasty to you, is he?"--- Otterstrike had smeared Flyheart's fur with honey, and was enjoying watching his brother shriek and scream at him. 
Good morning! You're going to die. 20:18, November 24, 2016 (UTC)
After being scolded by her mother, for destroying half the fresh-kill pile by stomping all over, Boulderpaw, let out a long sigh, rolling her eyes and went outside camp, she had to collect more prey to make up for it. 03:47, November 25, 2016 (UTC)
Ferretpaw skimped her way through the messy, pathetic fresh-kill pile. Nothing, here because of her sister. The silver tabby molly sneered and headed into the apprentices' den. (Insert Sarcasm)Bite Me, Dean! 03:59, November 25, 2016 (UTC)
Boulderpaw stopped. Hey... maybe she could drag Ferretpaw into to this and beg for her to do all the work. A large grin appeared on the molliles face. 04:09, November 25, 2016 (UTC)
Ferretpaw saw the weird look Boulderpaw had given her and narrowed her eyes. What was her problem? The silver tabby asked herself. (Insert Sarcasm)Bite Me, Dean! 04:32, November 25, 2016 (UTC)
Every last nest in the nursery -excluding a small handful- were nearly stacked in a large pile, towering right over Meadowsong's own nest. On top of the pile, Ace stood proudly, grinning down at his mother. "...Savvy?" Meadowsong glared up at her son as he stated these words. "Ace, go play outside, for StarClan's sake! You're creating a mess!" 04:41, November 25, 2016 (UTC)
