SeaClan/1

"Salmontooth! You've been gone for an eternity, Minnowsplash was awfully upset." The voice came from Stoneskip, with the warrior approaching the coughing tom with long, swift strides. Her fur was semi-dry, with the dilute having obviously gone for a swim in the sea not long ago. Nonetheless, her brows were furrowed seriously- this was no joke. "He went out looking for you this morning. You haven't seen him, have you?"

The black-and-white tom looked up between coughs. He wasn't well, nor was he happy with the secret he had learned not long ago. Shadowchaser...that mangy rogue, his brother! He wouldn't settle for it. "I didn't see him out there." Salmontooth mumbled in response as he glared from over his shoulder. -- Salmontooth & Stoneskip

Seawhisper raised her head form the pool she’d stared in. “Wait, he's back?! Salmontooth! Foxstar might want to talk with you, like Stoneskip said, you’ve been gone for an eternity!” —**Seawhisper**

Saltycurrent peeked his head out of the medicine cat's den after hearing a fit of coughs. He spotted that they came from Salmontooth. "And thus, the plague enters SeaClan." He muttered to himself, rolling his eyes. "Salmontooth!" He called. "Would you come here for a moment?" - Saltycurrent

The bicolored warrior's fur bristled in annoyance. StarClan, he should have just stayed outside of camp- maybe then he'd be left alone to rot away. Salmontooth glared briefly at Seawhisper and then turned his sharp gaze in the direction of Saltycurrent. "I know I'm sick- go ahead, isolate me, make me feel like a freak." -- Salmontooth

"No!" Sweetpaw said, poking her head out with a worried expression. "Who would do that?!" - Sweetpaw

Saltycurrent gave Salmontooth a "really." expression, then motioned with his tail to the inside of his den. Sweetpaw looked at him from inside the den. "You aren't really going to isolate him or make him feel like a freak?" "Of course not." Saltycurrent answered, rummaging around for herbs. "Also, Sweetpaw, we have the Half-Moon Meeting tonight, where you will be introduced to the other medicine cats." He said.- Saltycurrent

He knew the cure for his disease was out there- his own mate and half-brother had found it at his place of birth. But Salmontooth didn't really know if he *wanted* to get cured. Life simply didn't feel like it was worth living anymore. Narrowing his eyes, the sour-tempered warrior entered the medicine cat den nonetheless. Maybe they'd just ease his suffering, so he could pass in peace. -- Salmontooth

Saltycurrent instructed Salmontooth to sit down in the moss bed. "Stay here." He said. "Sweetpaw, stay with him and make sure he doesn't leave." Sweetpaw nodded eagerly. "Okie!" Saltycurrent padded out of the den and looked around for a reliable warrior. The first cat he spotted was Seawhisper. "Seawhisper!" He called. "I need you to take care of Salmontooth while me and Sweetpaw are gone. Just give him honey for his cough, and poppy seeds. Those little black things. But don't give him to much." Then looking at the sky he noticed it was already sunset. "Where's Foxstar?" He asked, tapping his tail in annoyance. - Saltycurrent

Sweetpaw glared fixedly at Salmontooth. He was not going to move. No! None! Not at all while she was around! Saltycurrent came back in and said, "We're going to head out now. Getting to the Moon Willow might take a bit longer." Sweetpaw hated going to see any cats that were not her clanmates. "But-" She struggled to find a reason to stay here. "Someone should watch Salmontooth!" She rushed on. "Seawhisper will." Saltycurrent answered. Then headed out, Sweetpaw struggling to keep up with his long strides. The pair made it to the Moon Willow earlier then planned and Sweetpaw hid behind Saltycurrent. - Saltycurrent and Sweetpaw

“oh sure! Probably in his den. I’d guess anyway.” She then turned to the blCk and white tom, her stomach turned, she didn’t really wanna be around him, but, eh, she’d be doing the medicine cats a favor. “You can just tell me when it hurts, right? I don’t do medicine cat stuff enough, heh.”—**Seawhisper**

Salmontooth, now settled down in a nest, cracked open a single eye to shoot Seawhisper a scolding glare. "My lungs, and I don't think you can do anything to 'fix' that, outside of giving me a ridiculous amount of poppy seeds." His voice was cold and practically dripped with venom, but it was nothing unusual for Salmontooth. He just felt a little more bitter than he typically was. -- Salmontooth

"I'm here," the massive, fire-splotched leader stepped out of his den with his feathered tail held high above his broad head. Foxstar truly was a sight to behold, and unfortunately, the charming feline was all-too aware of that. "Safe travels on your journey to the meeting. If you find Minnowsplash on your way back, do send him back to camp. SeaClan needs its deputy to prosper." -- Foxstar

“oh sure, here just take this honey thing and poppyseed, that’s what he said right? I’m not good at remembering,” Seawhisper sighed.—**Seawhisper**

"Sure," Salmontooth mumbled under his breath before heartily eating the herbs. The bitter tom then curled up in the nest in hopes of falling asleep and drowning out the voices of his clanmates. He had a half-brother, and that piece of crowfood was somehow deputy.... -- Salmontooth

After what felt like an eternity, Minnowsplash had finally returned to camp with his brows furrowed, as if he was deep in thought. Foxstar raced to his deputy to demand where he had been, but the flame point simply dismissed his concerned companion with a flick of his tail. *Mistystar...she's not half bad.* Minnowsplash was glad that he could help the leader return to WillowClan, but deep down, he was upset that she was gone now. He truly enjoyed her company. -- Minnowsplash

Saltycurrent padded wearily into camp. That half-moon meeting had not gone as planned. He yawned, and then spotted Minnowsplash. "Hey Minnowsplash!" He said, coming to greet him. "Where were you?!" - Saltycurrent

The blue-eyed deputy shrugged his lean shoulders. "I was trying to find Salmontooth, and then I ran into an outsider. I chased her down, got a little lost in the process." His answer was partially true, he *was* originally looking for Salmontooth, and he did indeed chase Mistystar out. But, he did end up escorting her all the way back to WillowClan. "There's no need to fuss." Minnowsplash finished calmly. -- Minnowsplash

"Of course." Saltycurrent nodded. "Sweetpaw, why don't you grab a mouse and head to your den. You;ve had a long night." Sweetpaw yawned, and mumbled something like "of course". Saltycurrent flicked his tail and made his way to the medicine den. He nodded to Salmontooth. "You're doing better I assume?" He asked. - Saltycurrent

“Great moves Tidepaw, but the trick is to just go with it and lock in on the fish’s next move, you can see where they are about to go and strike when you think it’ll stop, make sure it gets closer to you too.” Fishleap yawned. She then bent over the rocks as she watched her apprentice carefully as he stalked down the stone to the waterline and look into the dark waters as they rippled against the rough surface. Gulls flew above and the salty breeze struck their pelts. She loved SeaClan,—**Fishleap**

"No," Salmontooth grumbled at Saltycurrent with a bitter gleam in his sharp eyes. "I feel like foxdung that roasted on the thunderpath for three days, and then got flattened by several merciless monsters." The black bicolor warrior didn't hold back on the attitude- he felt awful, he had every right to act crabby. -- Salmontooth

Salmontooth was on his deathbed (or so it seemed), his clan was tiny in comparison to the others, the water levels were rising, and now...Minnowsplash hadn't returned from his patrol. Whatever happened to his excessively responsible deputy, the one who kept everything in line? Foxstar paced anxiously. *I should send a search patrol. He's been gone for most of the day- this isn't normal for Minnowsplash.* -- Foxstar

"Oh, do be quiet! I'm doing my best." Saltycurrent snapped. "It's like you want to go to StarClan." - Salty

Lightningstrike scratched an ear. He wasn’t really worried about anything. - Lightningstrike

Seawhisper got up for her morning patrol leaping in fron to of the meeting place. “ALRIGHT MINNOWSPLASH! I’m ready for dawn patro—!” She paused. “Um. He’s still gone?”—Seawhisper

Gullfeather watched as her sons suckled from her belly. *He would've been so proud.* She sighed. Hailkit drank himself to sleep as Blizzardkit just kept suckling, exhausted. Gullfeather curled her tail around her kits and got ready to sleep.—Gullfeather

Lightningstirke stopped scratching for a second to look at Seawhisper. “Ummmm, yeah. I think so.” He said. - Lightningstrike

“hmmm that’s not good he’s always here and never runs late.” She cast a glance around to find Foxstar. “Foxstar? Where’s Minnowsplash?”—Seawhisper

"No, I have no idea as to where he's run off to." Foxstar responded with a heavy sigh as his skin twitched as he drifted into his thoughts. "We need a search party for him- Stoneskip!" The handsome tortoiseshell tom called to the dutiful dilute warrior, who was returning from a hunting trip. The she-cat was very reliable and responsible, so surely she could lend a paw. "Minnowsplash is missing, we need to send out a search party. You're leading it." -- Stoneskip & Foxstar

Foamheart yawned, smiling. "Your kits are so cute Gullfeather." She purred. - Foamheart

Gullfeather forced a smile. “I know. They look like him.” She choked out.—Gullfeather

Crabpaw leapt out of nowhere. “I’m coming!’ She meowed.-Crabpaw

"We could work on your tracking skills this way," the dilute warrior mused at her apprentice's insistence on tagging along before she briefly turned to a few other active warriors, mottled ears perked. "Lightningstrike, Conchsong, Seawhisper- you three are also coming with me to track down Minnowsplash." -- Stoneskip

Seawhisker dipped her head, “you can lead.” She meowed. She was in fact a good tracker. And hunter, but she uses tracking for hunting, no biggie if his scent isn’t stale or washed away.—Seawhisper

Foxstar nodded. "Check along the bluffs before the ocean, make sure he didn't fall in. Check the borders afterwards." The silver tortoiseshell leader instructed before he slowly turned away. -- Foxstar

Ambersky moved swiftly and silently to his dark corner of the camp no one else but him knew about. He loved it here. He could escape other people's problems and contemplate his own. He loved his clan, but sometimes it was too busy for him. He really wanted to know who his real family was and wanted an apprentice. He thought to himself, *If only i could prove myself worthy of an apprentice to Foxstar and Minnowsplash. Where is the deputy anyways......*-- Ambersky

Lightningstrike jumped to his paws. “Alright!” Said Lightningstrike, and he began to head out of camp. - Lightningstrike

Duskbramble pelted after them. The silver tortoiseshell warrior harbored a need to be useful- she wasn't going to miss this chance. "Um... Can I come with you...?" -- Duskbramble

Lightningstrike turned around, and nodded. “Sure!” He said. - Lightningstrike

"Great! Let's go?" -- Duskbramble

Lightningstrike nodded. He then sprinted out of camp, with Duskbramble close behind him. “Where do you think Minnowsplash went? I don’t think he’d just abandon the Clan like this.” He said. - Lightningstrike

Stoneskip bit her lip. *I didn't give him permission to tag along.* The dilute tortoiseshell warrior twitched her tail irritably before she continued out of camp to hopefully hunt down Minnowsplash. The entire situation was quite odd, considering that the warrior had known the flame point for several moons. She knew he wouldn't just up and leave without a good reason- and a "good reason" would be that he was *probably* a fox's lunch. -- Stoneskip

Seawhisper sighed. She really didn’t like everyone coming along then who was assigned.... but she wasn’t gonna start a fight when the deputy wasn’t around. She guessed what happened to Minnowsplash. Maybe was washed out to sea? Hmmm, eaten by a fish? Captured by another clan? So many things could’ve happened! How close where they go they to the correct if there where too many?—Seawhisper

The patrol wound up fruitless- all they could discover was Minnowsplash's trail leading out of SeaClan's territory...it seemed that he had left willingly. But Foxstar had no time to ponder things over- there was a Gathering to attend to. "Stoneskip, Saltycurrent, Conchsong, Crabpaw, Seawhisper, Lightningstrike, Ambersky, and Duskbramble...you're all coming with me to the Gathering." The tortoiseshell tom announced. He decided to leave Sweetpaw behind, so that she could held tend to the ailing Salmontooth. -- Foxstar

Duskbramble nearly yowled like a kit. *YES! My first gathering as a warrior!* The assembled cats padded towards Twotrees. -- Duskbramble

Ambersky looked up when he heard his name called, and dipped his head to his leader as a sign of acknowledgment.--Ambersky

“I wanna go though!” Hailkit hissed. Gullfeather moaned. “I’m sure Seawhisper will tell you all about it tomorrow honey....” she whispered sleepily. Hailkit squeezed out. “Fine!” Though he ran around camp. Trying to found the exit. “Hailkit!” Gullfeather hissed. She scooted him back to the nursery, he frowned. *One day I’m gonna be as big and bold as Foxstar and lead the clan to Greatness!***—Hailkit**

Foamheart yawned, the cool sea air settling on her fur. Suddenly, she felt a sharp jolt of pain in her stomach; then another. she yowled out in pain, causing Saltycurrent to rush out from the medicine den and into the nursery. "What?" He asked. "Are your kits coming?" Foamheart gritted her teeth as an answer. "Okay, I need you to get those kits out." Saltycurrent said. Foamheart's temper flared. "Do you think I'm not?" She yowled. Saltycurrent yowled for Sweetpaw who came running from the medicine den. It took a while, but soon there were three bundles of fur lying on the moss. Conchsong had just come in from a hunting patrol and came in around the end. "You have two she-cats and one tom." Sweetpaw declared. "What are you going to name them?" Foamheart looked at the kits. The tom was a brown tabby tom with white patches. "That's Crashkit." She motioned to the kit. The other was a beautiful stark white cat, who was instantly her favorite "That's Flurrykit." She mewed proudly. The smaller she-kit was a pale grey-brown. "Chestnutkit." She said. Saltycurrent smiled. "I'll leave you two with your kits." -- Foamheart, Sweetpaw, Conchsong, Saltycurrent

Ambersky came running into camp. He had heard yelling and thought there was a battle. He looked around confused. His eyes swept around camp until they rested on Foamheart. She had had her kits! Ambersky softly and slowly padded up to her and meowed softly," Congratulations! They are beautiful."--Ambersky

"Thank you." She mewed, tucking her kits against her. -- Foamheart

Ambersky nodded to Conchsong before heading to the warrior's den for a groom and then a nap. --Ambersky

Lightningstrike stretched out, and nodded to Stoneskip. “Hi!” - Lightningstrike

((Hopefully we're back from the Gathering-)) -- Hawk

Duskbramble sighed. *Tired...* the silver tortoiseshell she-cat wasn't one for ever *not* being active, but the Gathering's excitement had worn the feline out. Waving her feathery tail at Foamheart in congratulations for the new kits, the young SeaClan warrior padded into her den. "Hi!" she mewed to Ambersky. -- Duskbramble

Ambersky looked up in surprise. "Hey" he meowed.--Ambersky

Duskbramble grinned. *Maybe a new friend!* -- Duskbramble

Hialkit growled to himself. *Why are* they *more important than* us*! They’re kits like we are!* He grumbled.-Hailkit

Foxstar noticed Stoneskip by the ridge. The long-furred silver tortoiseshell tom approached the dilute warrior slowly, curiosity pricking his stomach. "Something troubling you?" -- Foxstar & Stoneskip

At an instant Fishleap and Tidepaw returned with mouthfuls of prey, even if no one was setting patrols anymore. They both placed the fish in the pile and after Praising her apprentice, Fishleap padded into her den and plopped in her nest, gazing at the nursery with hope in her chest.-Fishleap

Gullfeather  purred. “Congrats!” To Foamheart and Conchsong. Though, pain stabbed her heart when she wished Splashclaw’d been here to see his kits...-Gull

Sunshadow sat on the cliff, gazing out at the shimmering water line, which was only a dark streak against the horizon. The high winds buffeted her pelt, like icy fingers trailing through her fur. She breathed in the clear, crisp ocean air and wondered what was happening back at camp. Up here on the rocks, away from her Clanmates, she could be alone. No worries, no one to bother here while she soaked in the beautiful view of the sea. - Sunshadow

"Hmmm?" The bright-eyed warrior turned to glance at Foxstar, noticing that he had said something. "Oh, right...it's just the tide. It seems awfully high this newleaf- it's just a little...concerning." Stoneskip admitted quietly before she scooted away from Foxstar to wrap her tail around her own dappled paws. -- Stoneskip

The red-and-silver tabby listened quietly to Stoneskip's troubles with his brows furrowed. "...Unfortunately not much we can do about the water level." Foxstar commented passively before he rose to his paws in a stretch, flexing the muscles in his hind legs before he settled in. "Anyways, come back to camp when you're finished. I'm declaring Minnowsplash missing in action- we can't keep searching for him. We need a deputy again." -- Foxstar[

Tidepaw was play fighting with Crabpaw once Fishleap padded to the fresh kill pile. Then getting a mouse and looking for Salmontooth in the medicine cats den, she dropped the mouse. “I don’t see why you should go on with an empty stomach.” She meowed.—Fishleap

Salmontooth narrowed his eyes into a pair of slits. "I can get my own prey." The ill warrior growled in a cold tone before shifting in the nest to turn his back on the warrior. Was he sulking? Yes, of course- he got word that his unworthy half-brother had become leader of WillowClan. Becoming deputy had been *Salmontooth's* dream, after the father that had disowned him. He'd show 'em... -- Salmontooth

Fishleap rolled her eyes. “You know you don’t have to be sour hearted all the time Salmontooth. You’re sick, and I’m sure you aren’t in a good mood. But perhaps being open minded and eating will help you. You haven’t left the den to eat since you got here,” she meowed gently. He must be having a hard time.-Fihsleap

"Sorry, but I became deaf the moment you opened your mouth again." Salmontooth grumbled under his breath as he proceeded to ignore the she-cat that attempted to lecture him on his behavior. -- Salmontooth

Fishleap sighed as she pushed the mouse towards him. “All I’m saying is even grumps like you still need to eat.” She muttered. “And sort themselves out.” She added. Then she turned and padded to the nursery to see the kits.-Fishleap

*I'm not touching that,* the black bicolor tom thought to himself bitterly as he proceeded to curl himself into a tighter ball. *She tainted it with her filthy paws.* -- Salmontooth

Blozzardkit shook out of the nursery just to be brought back in by Fishleap. He hissed. “Hey!”-Blizzardkit

(Lol)- Wolfy

Sunshadow stood in the middle of camp, her eyes narrowed against the wind that blew in from the ridge. Her nose picked up the faint scent of minnow on the breeze, making her stomach rumble. She turned away from her own hunger, her face fixed into cold disdain, before stalking out of camp to hunt for the one and only SeaClan. - Sunshadow

Stoneskip was still concerned about rising water levels, while Foxstar was more focused on his selection of a new deputy. Minnowsplash was a tough cat to replace- he and the flame point had been very close. The fire-and-platinum leader rested along the bluffs in a scraggly tree as he pondered over his small handful of candidates. -- Foxstar

Sunshadow trotted down the rocky slope, careful not to trip. The salty breeze cooled her cheeks and she opened her jaws to taste for prey. The only scent she could pick up was the overwhelming smell of seafood pluming from the ocean. She picked up her pace, hurrying down the slope in a quick yet dignified style. She could not afford to look like an undisciplined kit. She shook out her pelt, fluffing it up, and stopped at the water's edge. - Sunshadow

Little minnows darted around her paws, small and silver. Sunshadow crouched near the gleaming waves, admiring the ripples on the surface of the sea. - Sunshadow

"Wanna go hunting?" Duskbramble asked Ambersky. -- Duskbramble

Ambersky shrugged," Sure" He liked this She-cat. She was energetic and kind. --Ambersky

Lucky for him, Hailkit and Blizardkit shook out of camp. both going to the shores beyond the cliffs. But, there was an odd scent. “whta is that?” Hailkit wrinkled his nose. Blizzardkit bristled. “Seawhisper told me it’s Twolegs!” He growled. Hailkit grinned. “Hmmmm.” There where twolegs a distance away on the beach. Weird. But the trudged on to the waves and looked for fish.-Hailkit

((Timeskip for foamhearts's kittehs)) -- Whiteout

"Wait!" Chestnutkit yelled after them. "Where are you going?" She tumbled out of the nursery unseen, due to the fact her mother was mooning over Flurrykit. Chestnutkit bounded over to Blizzardkit once they made it to the shore. She promptly tripped and got sand in her nose and pelt. She shook herself. "What are you doing?" She asked eagerly, sneezing the sand out. "Can I come?" -- Chestnutkit

(Mk) -Wolfy

Sunshadow yawned. - Sunshadow

Hailkit hissed. “What’re you doing here!” He growled. Blizzardkit laughed as the other little kits followed.-Hail

"Sorry!" Chestnutkit looked at the ground. "It's just the nursery is so boring! Besides, twoleg's look really cool." -- Chestnut

Hialkit hissed. “If anything twolegs harm cats and make them unable to have kits is what im hearing.” He grumbled before he felt the cold water at his paws.-Hail

Blizzardkit laughed. “Tag!” He tabbed chestnutkit And started to run.-Blizzard

"Hey!" Chesnutkit yelled after him, dashing after him and tripping over the sand the entire way. -- Chestnutkit

He had made his decision, despite having quite a few cats in mind. He was proud to think that his clan had so many perfect candidates for deputy, and not to mention, most of them were she-cats that were easy on the eyes- not that Foxstar wasn't *ahem* "flirtatious" or anything. It was all out of good fun, he swore it. The feather-tailed tom approached the meeting place before the charming leader raised his muzzle towards the clouding sky. "May all cats old enough to catch their own fish join me beneath the High Ledge for a clan meeting!" -- Foxstar

Ambersky and Duskbramble just returned from hunting and herd Foxstar's call. Ambersky put down his prey and joined the group of gathering cats. --Ambersky

Stoneskip approached the ledge slowly to sit among the faint shadow downcast by the presence of the unique hill-based rock ledge. The dilute patched warrior raised her golden eyes to the sky, noting the darkening of the clouds. *Rain.* She thought with an unamused twitch of her whiskers. *It seems that we get rain every day now.* -- Stoneskip

I am introducing two cats Wildpaw and Stormytide))--Dawnpaw

Wildpaw creeped out of the apprentice den smelling the salty air --Wildpaw

Blizzardkit laughed before his Tail’d been stomped by Hailkit. “Ow!” “Focus! We want to hunt!”-Blizzard

Duskbramble dropped her fish on the pile and smiled at Ambersky. "Nice hunting." -- Duskbramble

Gullfeather shook awake as she then padded out of the queens den. “C’mon kits.” She meowed through tired eyes, then widened her eyes. “H-Hailkit? Blizzardkit?!” She widened her eyes and ran back into the nursery. Then coming out and yowling. “The kits! All the kits are gone!”—Gull

Starlingpaw raised a brow from Foxstar to the howling queen. “What?”-Starling

"Why are we gonna hunt?" Chestnutkit asked, turning her head. "I don't wanna get wet!" She wined. -- Chestnutkit

"Wait what?" Foamheart started awake, glancing around quickly to look for her kits. Crashkit, Flurrykit, Chestnutkit... Ugh it's always her... -- Foamheart

“then you shouldn’t have followed us!” Hailkit sneered before running towards the crashing waves. Blizzardkit frowned.—blizzard

Wildpaw ran down to the waves along with the kits who were almost the same size as him. And started splashing in the shallows. --Wildpaw

“and now he followed us! The whole clan is coming after us!” Hailkti grumbled.-Hail

Stormytide ran across the shore screaming and scooped Wildpaw up. Wildpaw yelled thrashing around. --Stormytide and Wildpaw

Hailkit gulped. And now they where busted...... a warrior followed the stupid apprentice and he narrowed his eyes.-Hail

Stormytide set Wildpaw down on the beach "Hailkit, Blizzardkit! Get over here!" Stormytide yelled over the crashing waves. --Stormytide

Hialkit flashed a glance to the other kits, Crashkit, Chestnutkit, and FlurryKit followed Blizzardkit as the kits padded to the warrior, heads low. Hailkit sneered. “Never!” And dashed into the treees.-Hail

"Just wait till i tell your mother!" Stormytide screamed after him, "Wildpaw, Blizzardkit, Crashkit, Chestnutkit, Flurrykit follow me back to camp." Wildpaw put his head down in embarassmet of leading his mom here. --Stormytide and Wildpaw

Hialkit grinned as he dashed and dashed until he came to a huge boulder. “Heh, I’ll lead the clan someday! Youll see!” He muttered.-Hail

Blizardkit lowered his head and dropped as he followed Stormytide back home.-Blizzard

"Remember to never follow Hailkits lead." Stormytide said, entering SeaClan camp Stormytide went into the nursery where Gullfeather and Foamheart were looking franticly for their kits. --Stormytide

Blizzardkit then felt ashamed of his brother. He was kind of like the leader of their generation though.-Blizzard

Gullfeather growled as she snached Blizzardkit up again. “How dare you and-!” Then wailed. “Where’s Hailkit!”-Gull

"He ran away after i caght him. Ran away into the forest, but i am sure that once he gets hungery he will run right back home." Said Stormytide --Stormytide

Gullfeather frowned. “Oh.....” she looked to Foxstar. “What if a fox gets him!”—Gull

"Don't worry i'm sure that he will be fine. We can probably send a few search partys but he won't be found unless he wants to be found." --Stormytide

Duskbramble's brow furrowed. "Lost kits?" -- Duskbramble

Gullfeather frowned to both of them. “I’m going to find him myself...” and dashed out of camp.-Gull

So much for a clan meeting. Crabpaw sneered. “Oh the furball went for a swim I see.” She growled to Wildoaw before being smacked by Starlingpaw. “Be nicer to him Crabpaw! Maybe you could be called crap-paw then!” She joked.-Starling

Wildpaw smiled at Starlingpaw for being so nice to him. --Wildpaw

Starlingpaw lowered as Crabpaw leaped over her. “Missed you stupid cat. Maybe you are like a crab, too slow.” She laughed.-Starling

Wildpaw ran over to Crabpaw trying to claw his fur. --Wildpaw

Crabpaw hissed at Wildpaw before being met by Tidepaw. She flattened her ears and turned away. “Okay okay she has had enough!” He sighed to starling and wild before trying to comfort her.

Starlingoaw shrugged serves her right.-Tide, Crab, and Starling

"Uh, Starlingpaw i would like to thank you for the Crabpaw stuation." --Wildpaw

Starlingoaw shrugged. “Someone has to stick up to that know it all. She thinks she’s special because Tidepaw likes her!” She muttered.-Starling

"Ha yeah!" Wildpaw said --Wildpaw

Stormytide loomed over Wildpaw "Wildpaw i am very dissaponted in what you did today with thoughs kits. At this rate if you want to become a leader like all the other cats you are going no where." --Stormytide

Spottedpaw bounced over to Riverfrost. "can we go hunting Riverfrost please please please?"  Riverfrost answered,  "Ok Spottedpaw, we can go for a little bit, but then we have to start training."  "Yippie!" Spottedpaw cried.    -Spottedpaw & Riverfrost

Starlingpaw rolled her eyes. “Whatever. You aren’t his mom. You don’t get to tell him what to do, his mentor does that.”-Starling

"What she is my mom!" Wildpaw questioned, Stormytide glared at Starlingpaw signaling that Wildpaw was supost to think that Stormytide was his mom "You both are dismissed."

"Alright Spottedpaw, see that fish over there?" Riverfrost asked. "Yep." she answered" Good, Riverfrost said, "let me see how you catch it." Spottedpaw sat on the bank until the fish swam close enough, then tried to go after it, but she slipped on a wet rock and plunged into the water crazily. She missed the fish by two tail lengths. "Not quite like that." Riverfrost said, amused. "let's try again." -Spottedpaw and Riverfrost

Foxstar had been out of camp for most of the day- for what, no-one knew. *Still no sign of Minnowsplash.* The red-and-silver tortoiseshell tom thought to himself. Yeah, that was what he had been doing...looking for Minnowsplash. -- Foxstar

Chestnutkit was still alone on the beach. Her parents hadn't come looking for her, they'd probably hoped, or assumed, she would wandering somewhere and die. Chesnutkit played with the sand making little piles with her paw. This was nice, just you alone, with your thoughts. -- Chestnutkit

Flurrykit tried to wriggle away from her mother's tongue. "Momma, what about Chesnutkit!" She asked. "I;m sure she's fine." Foamheart answered, rolling her eyes inwardly. -- Flurrykit

“you aren’t the boss of me you ugly eared piece of dung, my mentor is!” Starlingpaw growled.-Starling

Hailkit finally had his tile and climbed stones until he looked over the seas. “I love the ocean!” Though as he slipped he shrieked as he’d then tumbled down the rocks and landed in a face plant. He wailed but reminded himself that’s what kits do. So he got back up and he scented his mother and hid,-Hail

"I know that!" Stomytide snapped at Starlingpaw mad at the stubborn shecat --Stormytide

Duskbramble padded out of camp, resolve overcoming the young warrior's fatigue. "Hailkit? Chestnutkit?" -- Duskbramble

Hailkit hissed as he was thrown back into camp. “You stupid furball! How could you leave like that!?” Gullfeather cursed. Hailkit never seen her so mad....-Hail

Stoneskip wasn't pleased to see Foxstar frequently wandering from camp, but she made no comment on the matter. He was probably looking for Minnowsplash- the deputy and leader had been close, after all. Foxstar still seemed to be behaving normally, anyways....constantly flashing charming grins as she-cats that caught his eye and handling clan matters with confidence. Now, it appeared that Foxstar was preparing himself for the next deputy. He was left with no other choice. -- Foxstar & Stoneskip

Conchsong went out looking for Chestnutkit. -- Conchsong

Seawhisper ran up to the leader, well, walked up to him. She sighed, “Foxstar, I would never fought your intentions, ever, but... we’ve been looking for Minnowsplash for many moons, I think the clan is convinced he’s dead, or left.” She looked to her paws uneasily.-Sea

Lightningstrike padded over to Stoneskip. “What do you think about Minnowsplash?” He asked her. “Do you think Foxstar should choose a new deputy?” - Lightningstrike

Fishleap returned to the medicine cats den after more training to see Salmontooth just laying there and a rotting fish she’d left. “You little!” She grabbed it and buried it as she returned. “Salmontooth are you okay? You can’t try and kill yourself if you think starving is easiest.”-Fishleap

Chestnutkit didn't want to go back to camp! She liked it out here! -- Chestnutkit

"I think Foxstar's hung up over his relationship with Minnowsplash. They valued their friendship to the stars and beyond, so he's struggling to understand that our deputy's really gone." Stoneskip mrumured to Lightningstrike in a hushed tone, sending her leader a futive glance. "I've been trying to talk sense into him for over a moon. He lost a life a few days ago investigating the high tide to see if he could catch a clue of what made Minnowsplash disappear." -- Stoneskip

Lightningstrike sighed. “It must be hard for him.” He murmured. “But if he keeps on like this, he’ll have run out of lives trying to find Minnowsplash before he chooses a new deputy.” - Lightningstrike

"Oh, he's picking a new deputy today." There was a smirk that almost seemed self-satisfied plastered across Stoneskip's features. "I talked some sense into him when he returned to camp. This emotional break down makes him weak, and therefore his clan weak as well. I won't tolerate that. SeaClan must remain strong." -- Stoneskip

Lightningstrike nodded in agreement. “And SeaClan will remain strong now that Foxstar’s picking a new deputy.” He then hesitated, looking at her. “You would be a great deputy. You seem pretty close to Foxstar as it is.” He said. “And you talked some sense into him.” - Lightningstrike

The dilute warrior smiled once more, although this time out of her fellow clanmate's flattery. "Thank you." She finished with a small purr before returning her attention to Foxstar as he began to groom himself, likely preparing for the ceremony. "Foxstar makes himself for half decent company, except...not so much when you're a she-cat. In that case, he's just an annoying furball." Stoneskip knew about Foxstar's flirtatious tendencies, she'd faced them a few times herself. Although, he always swore that he was just teasing. -- Stoneskip

Lightningstrike nodded to her, before also turning his attention towards the leader. - Lightningstrike

Wildpaw looked at his mentor as he approched the leader. --Wildpaw

Lightningstrike motioned for Wildpaw to come sit by him. - Lightningstrike

Chestnutkit sighed as she returned to camp ready to be scolded by her mother.... though before she entered that is, “Stoneskip! Can we go fishing! I swear I’m gonna beat Tidepaw to that pole thing!” Crabpaw meowed. Tidepaw chucked. “Oh yeah! C’mon Fishleap!”-Chestnut

Wildpaw quickly went into a sprint which wasn't that fast for his tiny legs. Wildpaw then sat next to Lightningstrike.--Wildpaw

Stoneskip furrowed her brows before narrowing her eyes in a serious manner. "Fishing in the ocean's no game, Crabpaw, and I'd hope that I'd taught you that by now. It's eat or be eaten...and half of the fish out there could swallow you up in one big gulp." -- Stoneskip

“and when has that ever happened!? Not in like—a long time! C’mon!” She then dashed without another wierd with Tidepaw after her. Fishleap sighed. “Well, I guess we could take them out on a nice day like this, maybe we can discuss some about Minnowsplash? We could guess why he’s left wile they have fun.” She meowed. Tidepaw’s mature enough to keep her down with a paw.”-Crabpaw

Chestnutkit squeaked happily as she silently followed the apprentices, but as they got into the water of course she had sense and thats when she watched.-Chestnut

The pale dappled warrior twitched her tail. Apprentices never did listen, did they? Stoneskip bit her lip, hoping that Foxstar would hold off on the meeting for at least a few moments as she dashed after her apprentice. "That doesn't make a difference- Crabpaw, get back here!" -- Stoneskip

though Chestnutkit saw the apprentices, she gasped as they started to yowl and she squeaked with terror as a HUGE fish with the sharpest teeth ever gobbled them up, Tidepaw wailed as it’d been cut short as the thing at him! She wailed ans screeched as the fish ended up swimming away, leaving the sea as a bloodbath.-Chestnut

Ambersky silently scooted away to his dark corner. He watched his clan, huddled off in groups. He wondered *I wonder who will be the next deputy.* --Ambersky

Chestnutkit just stared, though, an odd tension made her flinch back as the water came rolling towards her, Tidepaw and Crabpaw where gone! Though she heard pawsteps behind her, Fishleap’s scent filled her nose as she was shaking, “ohhh! You poor thing! She licked Chestnutkit’s head. “Now where are-!” She gazed out to the bloody water with eyes wide. “Tidepaw!” She yowled as she looked around, “oh StarCLAN WHY!” She bristled. As Stoneskip arrived, “they’re dead.” She frowned, “I think this one knows how.”—Fishleap

Hailkit stared at the blood of the water with a grin. “When I’m older, I’m gonna right those and protect Blizzardkit from the chicken he is!” Though regretted it as of course his scruff was grabbed by Gullfeather again.-Hail

Stoneskip dug her claws into the grainy sand. "I told them...and they didn't listen." The warrior knew that she did all that she possibly could- rushing into the water would have been a death sentence. -- Stoneskip

Fishleap sighed, though was silent. “What now?” She then glanced to ChestnutKit. “This Kit seems to be, petrified.”-Fish

Lightningstrike raced over to the bloody scene, with wide eyes. “Oh no. . . .” He gasped. - Lightningstrike

"The kit wasn't even supposed to go out of camp." Stoneskip corrected with a somewhat irritable twitch of her tail. Why did it seem like Fishleap was trying to pin the entire situation on her? She hadn't controlled her own apprentice. "The *mother* of the kit should've been watching it." She kneaded the sandy earth with her paws, frustrated with her clanmates for being so irresponsible. *I care for the younger cats of my clan, but it's difficult to keep them safe when they hardly listen.* -- Stoneskip

“Why was this kit out of camp, anyways?” Growled Lightningstrike. “Foxstar was about to appoint a new deputy.” - Lightningstrike

Chestnutkit then shivered, “the fish ate Them!” She frowned. Fishleao frowned, “they should've waited for us to reply.... She sighed as she looked to see one of those weird Twoleg dock things, she turned to them. “I’m gonna see what it looks like up close,” she meowed. Then quietly stalking onto the thing and padding towards the end near the blood.-Fish

Lightningstrike frowned. “The *fish* ate them?” - Lightningstrike

Chestnutkit sniffled. “It’s teeth where so sharp! So many teeth! It just ate them in one bite! Too big! It was scary looking! I don’t wanna swim ever again!”—Chestnut

Lightningstrike frowned. - Lightning

Stoneskip felt something fall on the bridge of her nose, and she looked up to see the sky darkening from gathering clouds. *More rain...* the dilute calico thought dryly. Lately, it seemed that SeaClan received nothing but rain. -- Stoneskip

Lightningstrike looked up to see rain falling. “More rain.” He grumbled. “We should probably get the bodies and this kit back to camp before it starts pouring.” - Lightningstrike

Wildpaw who was still following Lightningstrike looked at the red water in horror *this could have happened to me.*--Wildpaw

"Agreed," Stoneskip replied as she stepped forward to grab the remains that had washed up onto the shore. "Don't enter the water to fetch any bodies that might be out there- it's a death trap. Once they start feeding, it goes into a frenzy." -- Stoneskip

Lightningstrike nodded, and helped Stoneskip grab the remains that had washed up on shore. When everyone was done, he said, “Let’s get back to camp.” He made sure Wildpaw was by his side as they all left for camp. - Lightningstrike

Chestnutkit still shaking followed the others back to camp, she frowned as Fishleap prodded her when she tried to look back.-Chestnut

Stoneskip took the opportunity to report the situation to Foxstar, who was trying to groom some of the rain from his fur but to no avail. The silver tortoiseshell tom narrowed his eyes. "...We need to have the queens watch their kits more closely from here on out." He was certain that that the news would be enough to scare the apprentices into a better mind set. -- Foxstar & Stoneskip

Wildpaw sat in the apprentice den shook *There was so much blood and origans all on the beach. The kits could have been killed by a shark which must be even worse than drowning.*Then Wildpaw screamed into a pile of moss which muffled his screams. --Wildpaw

Splash opened her eyes on the beach. "Mama?" She squeaked . *Where am i?* "Hello?" " Anyone? " --Splashkit

Riverfrost and Tigerfang went hunting—Riverfrost+Tigerfang

Gullfeather hissed as she growled. “Answer me!” Hail kit stumbled back. “I don’t want to!” -Gull

Wildpaw flopped over to Starlingpaw sticking his face into her pelt and screamed/cryed. --Wildpaw

Starlingpaw growled and shoved him off. “Get a hold of yourself and act more mature! I’m sure StarClan must’ve struck them down.” She growled. Wiping her pelt.-Starling

Wildpaw looked up at her tears in his eyes "Your right." Wildpaw looked up at Starlingpaw wipping his tears from his eyes. ---Wildpaw

Before they had caught anything, Riverfrost heard something, like a tiny kit wailing for help. "Tigerfang, What's that?" he said. "I can't hear anything" Tigerfang replied. Riverfrost started running towards the sound; Tigerfang followed. "It's... a kit!" Riverfrost said. "Well, we're not just going to stand there," Tigerfang said "Let's go bring them back to camp!" Riverfrost picked the kit up by the scruff and started running back to camp. -- Riverfrost & Tigerfang (( the kit is Splashkit))

Foxstar leaped onto the High Ledge and summoned his clan, squinting against the rain as it came down mercilessly. "As some may have noticed, we lost a few young cats today. Queens, keep your kits restricted to the nursery due to rising tides. Apprentices, warriors- *never* swim in the open ocean. The sharks are very active this time of year." The handsome silver tortoiseshell reminded his clan, eyeing each and every one of them. "...Minnowsplash has been missing for several moons. With a heavy heart, I have come to terms with his disappearance, and so it is time that I select a new deputy. I say these words before StarClan, so that our great ancesetors may hear and approve of my choice. Lightningstrike will be the new deputy of SeaClan." -- Foxstar

“Foxstar, look who we found!“ Tigerfang said as soon as he and Riverfrost got back to camp. Riverfrost held up the kit. “a kit washed up on the beach!”— Riverfrost and Tigerfang

Lightningstrike’s eyes widened as he looked up at Foxstar. “Really, me?” He said. “I- I mean thank you!”- Lightningstrike

Foxstar offered his new deputy a small smile before dismissing the clan with a single flick of his feathered tail. He raised a brow at Riverfrost and Tigerfang as they presented a kitten. "Does it have any clan scent?" The furball was lucky to not have been shark-chow. -- Foxstar

Stoneskip offered Lightningstrike a gentle shove with her own mottled shoulder. "I think you'll make a better deputy than I could ever be." -- Stoneskip

Lightningstrike let out a soft purr. “I’m not sure.” He said. “I just hope I won’t let SeaClan down. I wasn’t expecting Foxstar to make *me* deputy.” He added, smiling. - Lightningstrike

Riverfrost set the kit down. “no, no clan scent. We heard it mewling on the beach and found it stranded on the sand, no other cats in sight.”

Wildpaw ran out of camp walking to the edge of the cliffs smelling the salty breeze. The bodys of the kits had already been cleaned up but Wildpaw needed a break from his own mentor becoming deputy of the clan. --Wildpaw

Splash looked up, her blue eyes filled with tears. "Where's mama?" She squeaked . --Splash

Seawhisper whimpered as she saw the poor kit, “oh StarClan! She looks cold!” She dashed over to Splash/the kit. “Don’t worry, I’m sure your mamma isn’t too far away.” She cooed, looking to Riverfrost, “right?” She sighed as she lapped the kit’s head.-Seawhisper

Sunshadow sighed, the wind ruffling her fur. - Sunshadow

Splash looked up at the big cat. She felt safer than the others. -Splash

Seawhisper wondered. “So.” She meowed to the kit. “What do your parents look like?” She asked. “Where do you think they would be?”-Seawhisper

Stoneskip offered Lightningstrike a kind smile. "You won't let us down. Foxstar has his moments of being reasonable, and I think he made a good decision when he selected you." Maybe she had a little something to do with it... -- Stoneskip

Foxstar shook out his long red-and-silver coat, spraying remains from the falling rain onto the ground. He raised his head to glare at the sky, as if to curse his ancestors for soaking him with precipitation. *Will these storms ever let up?* He needed to check the borders again, and see where the tide was at this point. -- Foxstar

Dawnflame went out hunting. - Dawnflame

Lightningstrike’s anxiety eased a bit, as his pelt smoothed. “You really think so?” He asked. “I’ll try my best.” - Lightningstrike

Stoneskip was beginning to walk away to allow other cats to congratulate Lightningstrike on his deputyship, before she paused to turn around and offer the tom a final smile. "I know so." -- Stoneskip

Foxstar decided to take matters into his own paws and personally investigate the rain damage. The tortoiseshell tom slowly made his way out of camp at an easy-going pace, despite the nuisance rainfall. The tall leader perked his ears in interest as he made his way towards the eastern beach, only to find that...well, there was no eastern beach. The ceaseless storms had raised the water levels so high that the beach was underwater, and the path that lead to the western beach- dangerous. The runoff had made the slope too steep. "This is unfortunate," the leader mumbled to himself flatly. -- Foxstar

Lightningstrike let out a quick smile as he watched her pad off, and accepted his congratulations from the other cats of SeaClan. - Lightningstrike

Dawnflame went to a nearby river and started fishing. --Dawnflame

Splash thought for a moment. "They had grey fur? Or maybe white. And they hade either blue or green eyes? And either long or short fur." -- Splash

Seawhisper thought. “Hmmm, do you think they might be in the clan?” She meowed. Thinking of her description, her grey fur and blue eyes.-Sea

Riverfrost sighed, "Most likely they're not in SeaClan, I don't know any SeaClan cat who would just leave their kit to die on the beach, instead of keeping them protected in the nursery, but you can adopt her, Seawhisper, I have no objection."- Riverfrost

Seawhisper smiled softly, “oh I would like that,” she meowed. Then turning to the kit. “So, what’s your name? If I haven’t already asked.”-Sea

Stormytide walked up to her apprentice Frostpaw "Hi Frostpaw, i want to take you out to the beach today to teach you how to look for mussels (type of shellfish that you can find when tide is low), and we are not going to go swimming at all today. Especilly after the incedent with the kits." --Stormytide

Frostpaw looked at her in apprehension. "Of course, Stormytide!!" I can't WAIT! I'm gonna bring back so much prey, we won't EVER have to hunt again!"-Frostpaw

Stormytide chuckled "Well calm down young one. This isn't hunting, its technaclly scavenging. Now come on lets go down to the beach." --Stormytide

Frostpaw charged out of the camp, ignoring Stormytide entirely, not stopping until she tripped over a stone and flew a few feet into the water. Frostpaw screeched and scrambled out, panting on the shore and shaking her glimmering pelt, flinging waterdroplets all over the sand. --Frostpaw

Foxstar made his march back to camp, fire-and-platinum tail waving high over his head as he did so. The rain continued to pelt him relentlessly, but he climbed up the muddy slope and back to camp. *I've never seen the water this high...* The leader thought to himself, slowly growing more silently troubled. -- Foxstar

Salmontooth was still in the medicine cat den, struggling to recover from the affects of the plague from a moon or so ago. Although, his bitter spirit seemed unbroken, considering that he aimed a furious smack at anyone who dared to interrupt his rest with their undesired pity. -- Salmontooth

Ribbonpaw started coughing uncontrollably and had trouble breathing. --Ribbonpaw

Foxpaw padded over to his sister, and rubbed her back with his paw. -Foxpaw

Sharppaw also padded over to Foxpaw and Ribbonpaw, and licked his sister's ear. --Sharppaw

Lightningstrike then looked around, and realized Wildpaw was gone. *Where did he go?* Wondered the brown deputy. He padded out of camp, and decided to try and track his apprentice. - Lightningstrike

Ribbonpaw continued to have an asthma attack. --Ribbonpaw

Stormytide was wide eyed as she ran over to the fast apprentice. *Frostpaw is to much like Wildpaw!*"Frostpaw! you shouldn't have disobayed me! Don't you rember what happend to though's kits!."

Frostpaw bowed her head in shame at Stormytide's disappointment. "I-I'm so s-sorry...." Frostpaw then realized she was sitting right next to a mussel! "Hey Stormytide! Come look at this! I found a- AGH!" Frostpaw trailed away in a yowl of pain when she tried to stand and a fiery lightning bolt of pain shot up her hind leg. --Frostpaw

Ribbonpaw continued to have an asthma attack in the middle of camp, and started choking loudly. -Ribbonpaw

Wildpaw ran over to Ribbonpaw screaming "Help, Help! Oh my starclan what should i do!" As Wildpaw started pushing on Ribbonpaw's chest. --Ribbonpaw

Stormytide screamed clawing the shellfish off of Frostpaw's foot. "Watch where you step. Although most mussels will not bite you. Also keep a look out for clams." Then stormytide smashed the mussel with her paw, shaking off the bits of shell. "Want to try?" --Stormytide

Almost instantly, Frostpaw's leg felt better and began jumping up and down with exictment. "Yeah!" Frostpaw squealed before leaping on top of another mussel behind Stormytide, at least what she *thought* was a mussel. "Eek! Something bit me!" Frostepaw yowled as a dark blue crab scurried away.

Stormytide shook her head. "Lets go down to the tide pools. I can teach you to hunt small fish and we can keep looking for mussels." --Stormytide

"Okay, let's go." Frostpaw mewed as she limped next to her mentor down to the pools. -- Frostpaw

Foxstar decided to embark on the borders, to check out the muddy slope that protected their clan from WillowClan's lowland territory. The leader considered ordering his warriors to fill in the slopes with more rocks, to make patrolling safer and to prevent erosion. Yet...it seemed like too much work. Better to let nature take its course, no? As the bright-furred tom patrolled along the border, he spotted a familiar pelt in the distance and found himself narrowing his eyes. -- Foxstar

"Watch your step, there are many pointy rocks, barnicles, and crabs here. and if you want you can touch the sea anemone's, its kind of fun." Stormytide said as she stepped into a pool a small school of fish scattered as Stormytide dunked her head into the water coming up with five one inch fish in her mouth. She climbed out of the pool spitting them out onto the sand. "Now you try." Stormytide said --Stormytide

Frostpaw, for once, obeyed Storymtide and didn't step on anything sharp, making her way to the water and dipped her head under came up with a fairly large minnow. "Wow! That's so fun! I wanna do it again!" Frostpaw exclaimed, launching herself head-first into the water and paddling strongly out to a huge fish that, somehow, hadn't heard her. Pretty soon, Frostpaw struggled back to shore with a huge 7 foot fish, dropping it in front of Stormytide. --Frostpaw

Just so you know tide pools are very shallow))--Skylia

Stormytide gasped as she saw the large fish that was bigger than Frostpaw "Good job Frostpaw. You are coming along nicely and i know that you will become a great warrior." Stormytide then grabbed a sea urchin "Now i will show you how to crack urchins open." Stormytide held one of the urchin's quills with her mouth then brought her paw down on the shell craking the urchin open. --Stormytide

"Woah! That cool! Lemme try!" Frostpaw mewed. She then found Another urchin and copied Stormytide's moves, cracking itmopen with on fluid motion. Frostpaw giggled and said, "Wow that was easy! Can we try agi-" Frostpaw cut off as her stomach growled loudly and Frostpaw looked at Stormytide, embarrassed. --Frostpaw

Stormytide looked at Frostpaw "Well sounds like we should be getting back to camp to share all of this prey." I take it back you watch the other stuff so the seagulls don't get to it. She then picked up a mouth full of mussels then ran back to camp--Stormytide

Frostpaw watched on as Stormytide ran back to camp, then grabbed the minnows and ran after Stormytide, being sure to stash her big fish in a bush so she could come back later. --Frostpaw

Foxstar squinted at the familiar slender form of a gray tabby. "Riverstone?" The SeaClan leader called out with a baffled tone, glancing down at the WillowClanner as she slowly attempted to scale up the muddy rocks that separated their territories. "What're you doing here?" -- Foxstar

Stormytide and Frostpaw soon collected the rest of their food. "Frostpaw feel free to eat whatever prey you want. you deserve it." --Stormytide

Frostpaw chose two small minnows and quickly devoured them before curling up in her nest and falling asleep. --Frostpaw

After Stormytide woke up to the raving tides she went down to Frostpaw's nest, pawing her awake. --Stormytide

"YES!! I'm SOOOO excited about this! I won't let you down, Stormytide, I prom-" Frostpaw cut off as she tripped over her paws and bowled into Stormytide. --Frostpaw

Stormytide smiled waking up her son Wildpaw "If you don't mind i am going to bring my son Wildpaw along." Said Stormytide "Because Lightningstrike doesn't do anything..." Stormytide mumbled to herself. Wildpaw jumped up "Finally!" "Anyway we are going to do battle training today, and if you both are good enough we might be able to do underwater training." Stormytide continued. --Stormytide and Wildpaw

Frostpaw burst out of the tunnel with Wildpaw and Stormytide right behind her, not stopping until she barreled onto the beach and asked Wildpaw if he wanted to playfight. --Frostpaw

Wildpaw who was a third or Frostpaw's size said "Yeah!" But Stormytide quickly swooped in. "No, Its to dangerous. Anyway we should get to training, do not use any of the moves I will show you unless you are protecting a border, feeling threatened, or your leader tells you to fight." --Stormytide and Wildpaw

"Aww, but Stormytide, thats no fun." complained Frostpaw, getting into postion anyways. A couple hours later, they were all tired and covered in sand, while Frostpaw had somehow gotten her paw stuck in a hole. --Frostpaw

Stormytide sighed in dissappiontment of what the two apprentices had done. Frostpaw seems to keep getting her paws stuck in sand, Wildpaw is getting burryed in sand any time i look at him, maybe Frostpaw is more cut out for hunting. "Well its been a long day why don't you two go back to camp. And i will go hunting for a little while." --Stormytide

We will continue the training tommarow--Skylia

Lightningstrike twitched his ears in annoyance as he saw Wildpaw bad back to camp. *I just took him sparring, is he never satisfied?* He thought in annoyance. - Lightningstrike

Ribbonpaw was still gasping for breath, but sitting up now. -Ribbonpaw

Foxpaw was sitting next to her, rubbing her back with his paw. -Foxpaw

Shrppaw was on her other side.-Sharppaw.

Frotpaw was excited to start training again when she had woken up and eaten, rushing straight over to her mentor's nest and nudging her to wake up, Wildpaw at her side. --Frostpaw

Stormytide grunted "What do you want... To be trained everyday." --Stormytide

Frostpaw grumbled and turned to Wildpaw. "C'mon! Let's go out hunting on our own! Race ya to the beach! Frostpaw giggled as she raced out of the den with Wildpaw hard on her heels. She raced down, and stopped and turned when she got to the beach. "Ha! I beat yo-" She stopped as Wildpaw ran into her and they both toppled over, Wildpaw coming to a stop on top of her. --Frostpaw

Lightningstrike followed them out of camp, and stopped the two apprentices. “Get back to camp, now!” Snapped the SeaClan deputy, before glaring at Wildpaw. “I expect better from you, Wildpaw!” He hissed. “And let Stormytide sleep. She’ll get up soon, I’m sure.” He growled. - Lightningstr

Frostpaw tried to make him change his mind. "But, Lightningstrike, please! we were just having fun! If anything, its all my fault. Don't be hard on Wildpaw." --Frostpaw

Wildpaw ran away along the beach.--Wildpaw

Frostpaw fled alongside him, Urging him to follow me into the cave. "C'mon Wildpaw! We can hide out up here!" She then hurried him into the cave and began giggling. "I can't believe we just did that!" --Frostpaw

"That was so cool! Were so cool!" Wildpaw whispered --Wildpaw

Frostpaw looked at Wildpaw with a realization. She... liked him..? But that couldn't happen! Before she could think more, she realized Lightningstrike was standing right there. --Frostpaw

Lightningstrike easily followed them. He saw them, and bared his teeth. “Come here, right now!” He snapped. “Unless you want to run away and join a different Clan, you’re coming back to camp right now. Don’t sorry, I’ll make sure to delay your warrior ceremony, and you’ll be doing the elder’s ticks for a few moons.” - Lightningstrike

Frostpaw hissed at Lightningstrike. "You're not my mentor! Stormytide is! We've been working so hard. Why can't we just have some fun? You're so mean!" --Frostpaw

"Yeah my mom is more of a mentor than you ever will be!" Wildpaw screamed echoing through the cave. --Wildpaw

"Let's go, Wildpaw! We'll walk back to camp ourselves!" Frostpaw mewed definatly, racing off in the direction of the camp, Wildpaw just barely managing to keep up. --Frostpaw

Wildpaw raced after Frostpaw looking back to see if lightningstrike was following them. --Wildpaw

They both crashed through the barrier and fled into the apprentices den, where they settlewd down to talk. "Lightningstrike is SO mean. I can see why Stormytide doesn't like him." --Frostpaw

Lightningstrike rolled his eyes at the two apprentices. “Wildpaw come on!” He said. “Let’s go.” - Lightningstrike

Wildpaw sat sternly "NO!" --Wildpaw

Lightningstrike flicked an ear. “Wildpaw I’m sure Foxstar would love to delay your warrior ceremony if you don’t listen. And that’s two moons elder’s ticks. Want to make it three?” - Lightningstrike

"Sure do whatever! It's not like i ever will be a warrior anyway!" Wildpaw screached. --Wildpaw

Frostpaw glared menacingly at Lightningstrike, while stroking Wildpaw's back with her tail gentely to calm him down. "Stop, just stop, Lightningstrike! I don't know WHY you're bullying us like this, I just want it to stop..." --Frostpaw

Wildpaw sniffed trying to hold back tears. --Wildpaw

Lightningstrike ignored Frostpaw. “Wildpaw, come on.” When Wildpaw finally nodded, and followed Lightningstrike out, he let out a sigh of relief. “That’s still two moons of ticks though.” He said, as they padded out of camp. - Lightningstrike

Frostpaw was pacing around camp when she decided to get some fresh air. She padded out of the camp and sighed. She had never imagined being an apprentice would be so hard! Lightningstrike is so mean, but he just doesn't care! Meanwhile, Wildpaw seemed to be suffering the most. --Frostpaw

YOU CANT CONTROL MY CAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:( ))--Skylia

(don't mean to step in, but dawnpaw, wolfy asked you kindly to stop, please do so) -- stork

When did she write that? Also call me by my nickname)) --Skylia

(Comment section) - Wolfy

There are no elders.)) --Skylia

(that's irrelevant, lightning is deputy, correct? what she means is that the apprentices are highly encouraged to show more respect to the deputy & leader or they'll get harsher punishments. again, just trying to help de-escalate the situation) -- stork

Still remember Wildpaw is basiclly a kit but the age of an apprentice. And kits don't really understand ranks. And how hard can you make a punishment?))--Skylia

(the punishment is up to wolfy's decision, but many kits do understand the ranking system. please listen to wolfy, it will resolve this whole issue and show fairness to her) -- stork

(Thanks Stork. And since Wildpaw is still young the punishment won’t be the worst, but it’ll still be a punishment.) - Wolfy

He is also the size of a kit.))--Skylia

Frostpaw was searching the elders for ticks, trying to keep her nose away from the bile, when Wildpaw walked in. "Hey. Sorry about getting us into this mess. I shouldn't have taken off to the beach with you." - Frostpaw

"Oh its not your fault Frostpaw." said Wildpaw, cleaning up cat skit. (because there are no elders). --Wildpaw

(oh) Yeah, but we should've stayed in camp. Now everyone's mad at us..." Frostpaw murmured glumly. "Ya know, I have something important to tell you, Wildpaw." Frostpaw added, shyly. --Frostpaw :3

"Whats that?" --Wildpaw

Frostpaw glanced downward, suddenly very shy. "N-not here. I'll tell you later. M-meet me at that tall tree, ya know, the one near the beach. I'll tell you there. First let's finish our chores." --Frostpaw

"Um okay." Wildpaw said. Cleaning up more scat. --Wildpaw

Soon, Frostpaw sat on a comfy patch of moss, her paws wet from washing the cat skit of them in the ocean. *Now all that's left is to wait for Wildpaw...* --Frostpaw

Lightningstrike saw Wildpaw. He felt a bit bad for being so harsh with him. Although he did need to learn how to respect the deputy, he deserved a break. He had been training all day, and then Lightningstrike had sent him back to cleaning up camp. He padded over to the young cat. “Why don’t you take a break, and go out of camp. You can go hunting or go hang out with some of the other apprentices.” He said. - Lightningstrike

Starlingpaw was perched on a ledge above her mentor. “Ready!?” Seawhisper called, it had been nearly a moon since she’d decided to adopt Splash, and now since Starlingpaw was an older apprentice, it’s time for a bit of fun, and why not somersaulting off of a cliff into a pool of water? Seawhisper watched as her apprentice twice dove from the top, but called. “Good, but you need to see yourself as a swallow diving for your prey.” She meowed. And then as Starlingpaw came up again Seawhisper climbed higher and leaped off again, paws forward, head between and tail up. Though it was a bit of a scare since the water seemed bottomless.**—Seawhisper & Starlingpaw**

Riverstone swayed her tail side to side awkwardly. SeaClan and WillowClan always seemed to be relatively neutral towards each other, but nonetheless, she was Mistystar's daughter. Her name didn't go forgotten. "I was hoping you'd be more excited to see me," the gray tabby murmured shyly, although she was incapable of hiding her disappointment. Foxstar straightened himself, admittedly longing to lose himself in the tabby's eyes once more. "No! I'm just surprised is all. It's great to see you." *But in daylight?* This was risky. "Are you...here to join?" -- Foxstar & Riverstone

"You punished me for taking a break." Wildpaw said running off to meet Frostpaw. --Wildpaw

Frostpaw's eye's lit up as she saw Wildpaw running toward her. "You made it!" She flicked her tail back and forth in fake hostility. "I'm a fox! And I'm gonna eat you!" She started chasing him, giggling and trying to leap onto his back. --Frostpaw

I think that Wildpaw's back is too small))--Skylia

Wildpaw laughed pawing back at her. --Wildpaw

Starlingpaw and Seawhisper passed them. Pelts soaked and sopping on their backs. Their mouths faced as smiles after laughing. They ignored the kits as they then padded towards camp.-Starling

Frostpaw finally leaped onto him, pinning him down with a panting *mrrow*of laughter. "Got you!" She rolled off and glanced at him, then the tree. "Hey.. wanna sleep up there? It looks so beautiful with Silverpelt above us! Race you to that top branch!" With that she took off up the tree, reaching the thick branch in a matter of seconds, leavng Wildpaw wondering how she had climbed up so fast. --Frostpaw

Probably because i have stubs for legs.... "Uh i can't climb trees. I am to small." --Wildpaw

"...Yes, well..." Riverstone hesitated, uncertain of how to tell him. "...Yeah, I'm here to join." She decided to keep it at that, keep it simple and delve into the complicated stuff later on. She was exhausted from her journey, and still had to scale the great, steep divide that separated WillowClan and SeaClan. Foxstar offered her a charming smile as he reminded himself of the overgrowing kit and apprentice population. The more experienced warriors, the better. "We'd be happy to have you and your beauty- skills, I mean skills." -- Foxstar & Riverstone

Lightningstrike watched his apprentice go, with a small sigh. He had so much to learn before becoming a warrior. - Lightningstrike

Stoneskip found herself silently stalking up to Lightningstrike's side after observing the tension, twitching her whiskers. "He should be grateful to have you," the dilute warrior commented quietly before slowly seating herself with her feathered tail wrapped around mottled paws. "You care for him, a lot. I cared for my own apprentice, but...I wasn't as mindful as you are with Wildpaw. And now, my apprentice's dead." -- Stoneskip

Lightningstrike looked at the SeaClan warrior, and felt his heart skip a beat. “It wasn’t your fault.” He told her. “You were a great mentor to . . . Uhh . . . Crabpaw. And I don’t think Wildpaw likes me much. I think I might be a bit too hard on him sometimes.” - Lightningstrike

The she-cat twitched the tip of her tail at his comment. "Nonesense. Foxstar just announced that kits and apprentices were to stick to mentors and camp, to avoid water due to the recent deaths. I think you've every right to be hard on him: it's a matter of life or death." -- Stoneskip

Seawhisper couldn’t wait she jumped to her paws and ran to Starlingpaw. “C’mon!” She meowed playfully. Starlingpaw blinked from her nap. “Huh?” She yawned. “Final training session! Now! C’mon!” She meowed. Starlingpaw blinked and widened her eyes, adding a smile and following her mentor.-Starling

Lightningstrike nodded, a bit hesitantly. “I guess your right. He just needs to understand that I’m trying to keep him safe.” - Lightningstrike

Stormytide walked by Lightningstrike sitting next to him. "All the apprentices don't understand the danger of the ocean. Frostpaw almost went swimming the other day." --Stormytide

The warrior decided to leave Lightningstrike to his thoughts, considering he had a lot of excitement for just one day. "I'll leave you to it. Lemme know if you're sending out any hunting patrols in the future." Stoneskip finished before rising to her paws and venturing off to find out where Foxstar had run off to. -- Stoneskip

"Hey Wildpaw, if you dont mind me asking but, why are you so short?" --Frostpaw

"I don't know. I just grew up but didn't grow in size." Wildpaw shrugged --Wildpaw

"Huh. I think it's cute!" Frostpaw giggled and nudged him with her tail before adding, "Shorty! *--Frostpaw​*

Lightningstrike felt the blood rush to his face. “I- I will!” He told Stoneskip, before she ran out of camp. - Lightningstrike

“Conchsong! She’s been a bad kitten! she needs punishment!” Foamheart yowled across the nursery at her mate. He snapped back, “no, it was an accident. Foamheart. There is no reason to even think about punishing her. She’s just a kit.” He growled. Foamheart then stood on her paws. “You know what? I’m done fighting with you. We’re through.” She hissed. A little pain in her tone. Conchsong stumbled back. “Wha-!” “These are my kits. Not yours. You were never a father to them.” She growled. He then growled. “Fine then!” He then stormed into the warriors den. Leaving his mate- former mate with his former kits.—Foam & Conch

Wildpaw made a little smile but deep inside felt a little bad. --Wildpaw

Splash chased after a butterfly, doing flips in the air. Finally, she caught it under her paws. --Splashkit

Frostpaw looked at Wildpaw gazing down a bit and felt bad. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that." Frostpaw murmured, curling in closer to comfort him. --Frostpaw

"No its, fine. Its just i wish i was bigger, then i could go swimming, climb trees, run fast, fight foxes, find prey... But I can't and my mom is super protective."--Wildpaw

Seawhisper and Starlingpaw’s turned with bounds of fish and a seagull or two. Since the prey pile was a bit empty. They left the prey there and Seawhisper padded to Stoneskip. “Have you seen Foxstar? Starlingpaw is ready to become a warrior.” She purred near the end of the sentence, but sent her attention to Stoneskip, since she was closer to Foxstar.—Seawhisper

Frostpaw gazed at him. "Well, Stormytide only wants the best for you. At least you HAVE a mom... I never even met my real parents." --Frostpaw

"Yeah, but I never even met my dad. And my mom is way too over-protective." --Wildpaw

"Well thats why you have friends! I would stand with you through anything, because you're my best friend!" --Frostpaw

Starlingoaw stretched as she shook her pelt. It was a bit cooler out today, even with the never ending rain SeaClan seems to get. She shook her head in annoyance. “These storms never stop.” Though she’d gotten used to seeing through the raindrops in storms, swirling in storms through- *that*, was a different story. She had gathered more feathers and weeds to make her nest extra big big enough for even the biggest warrior, overlapping the other apprentice’s nests, she was gonna be a warrior soon, why not act like it’s her best day? She then plopped into her nest and warmed up. Though a breeze that ruffled her fur jolted her awake into the cold.—Starlingpaw

"Thanks." Said Wildpaw blushing. --Wildpaw

Frostpaw was about to reply, when she saw the moon had almost set, and the sun was already starting to rise. "C'mon, we should get back to camp." But as she was helping him down, the sea caught her eye. It was the most beautiful shade of gold and scarlet, courtesy of the rising sun. "Woah.... Look at that Wildpaw! The sea looks amazing! Its so beautiful! - Frostpaw

Stoneskip glanced over at Seawhisper on her way out of camp. "I'm looking for him currently. I'll let him know when I find him." The mottled warrior promised the she-cat before she hurried on her way. -- Stoneskip

Riverstone slowly walked behind Foxstar after she struggled up the muddy divide, her legs screaming from exhaustion. Yet, she continued after the handsome tom while secretly hoping that she'd made the correction decision. -- Riverstone & Foxstar

Lightningstrike stretched out, and laid down, in the warriors den, tired from training with Wildpaw and arguing with his apprentice and Frostpaw all day. - Lightningstrike

?Lightningstrike hasn't ever trained wildpaw.)) --Skylia

Wildpaw saw splashing in the distance. "Look Humpback whales!" --Wildpaw

(He has, out of the rp) - Wolfy

hmm...))--Skylia

Foxstar lead Riverstone to camp, squinting against the cascading rain. "Maybe it's not much, very modest...but the sunrises are to die for." The long-furred leader assured the gray tabby she-cat with a small smile. -- Foxstar

Frostpaw squinted and she saw he was right! "Wow! Thats so co- EEK!!" Frostpaw was so strained to see the whales, she misplaced her paws and went soaring down, with her trying to twist around to land on her feet, when she hit the ground, passing out. - Frostpaw (Don't prosecute me, I'm dramatic >:3)

Lightningstrike’s ears pricked when he saw Foxstar and Riverstone. “What’s *she* doing here?” He hissed, bristling. He sniffed the air. “WillowClan.” - Lightningstrike

"This is Riverstone, daughter of Mistystar." Foxstar spoke casually and confidently as he introduced his old flame to his new deputy. "Her mother left her clan several moons ago. She's here to join SeaClan out of curiosity, and I'd be a fool to deny an experienced warrior entrance to my clan when we're hungry for new mentors. Our nursery is full, after all." -- Foxstar

Lightningstrike smoothed his fur, and relaxed a bit, but was still suspicious. “Are you sure she won’t go running back to WillowClan after we tell her all our secrets?” *If Foxstar trusts her, then she must be fine.* He thought in the back of his mind. - Lightningstrike

Foxstar let out a snort of laughter at how seriously his deputy was trying to present himself. "*Secrets*? Lightningstrike, please, you and I both know that SeaClan is an open book. Learning to swim and fish is no secret." He flicked his feathered tail, which had been flattened from rain and mud. "I can assure you that Riverstone's as harmless as a fly. She's rather diplomatic, she could prove herself useful to us in the future." -- Foxstar

Wildpaw looked at Frostpaw who was knocked out. *Oh no what should i do! should i get help should i try to wake her up!*Wildpaw started shaking Frostpaw. --Wildpaw

Lightningstrike looked down at his paws, feeling a bit embarrassed. “Well, alright then.” He said. - Lightningstrike

Frostpaw began to stir, blinking her eyes over and over. The first thing she noticed as she tried to move, however, was the fiery bolt of pain shooting up her hind leg. "Ack, my leg! Wildpaw, go get help!" - Frostpaw (I love being dramaitc :3)

Seawhisper nodded. “Alright. Thanks Stoneskip. If you need help I’m here.” She then turned to the prey pile and decided to take a breather before seeing a sad-faced tom exit the warriors den. She cocked her head. How come Conchsong’s sad all fo a sudden? She asked herself. Then watching as he exited the warriors den and padded up to him as he headed her way.—Seawhisper

Fishleap returned from a rather tiring lone border marking patrol, no there weren’t any patrols sent, but she had gone lone because- how long was it since they’d marked the ThornClan/WillowClan border? Like forever ago. It also felt nice to be alone. As she passed the prey pile the scent of it made her nostrils light up as she looked it’s way to reveal a small minnow- and, to reveal her undying hunger she tried to avoid over the last few days. So she’d then passed over and choked the minnow down, and before she could look away and pad to her nest, she spotted another one. And as her belly rumbled again, she thought. Another one wouldn’t hurt right?—Fishleap

Gullfeather growled to herself as she lapped at Hailkit’s head. Preparing her sons for their apprentice ceremony’s wasn’t the most fun recalling it was at dawn, and that Hailkit and Blizzardkit had been naughty kits. She was too busy to even notice Foamheart’s rage after her break up with Conchsong. And here she was. “Mom! I was fine without you!” Hailkit growled. She then lapped his head harder, causing him to pout and sulk as he’d wobbled each time she’d almost knocked him over cleaning him. Blizzardkit was already done, playing a round of slow tag with Chestnutkit wile Foamheart, Crashkit, and Flurrykit had been sleeping deeply.—Gullfeather & Hailkit

Blizzardkit smiled as he’d slowly made his way towards Chestnutkit, “c’mon! No fair you are faster! Move more my speed!” He meowed quietly in a laughing tone. Chestnutkit raised a brow and nodded then lowing and waddling like a turtle. “Okay, now try and get me!” She mewed playfully. As Blizzardkit was STILL slower she then commented. “You’re as slow as a turtle!”—Blizzardkit & Chetsnutkit

Wildpaw screamed then ran in circles then eventully started running ot camp. When he arrived at camp the first cat he saw was Lightningstrike "Lightningstrike! Frostpaw broke her leg!" --Wildpaw

“What?! How?” He exclaimed. “You know what, no time. Get Saltycurrent or Sweetpaw. Where is Frostpaw?” - Lightningstrike

Frostpaw groaned as she lay on the ground, waiting for Wildpaw, or Stormytide, or ANYONE to come. Her leg hurt so bad, she couldn't move, even if she tried. - Frostpaw

Fishleap overheard the conversation. She then followed Wildpaw’s scent and led her to Frostpaw. She sniffed the she-cat before gripping her scruff and tossing the cat onto her back. Then padding back to camp.—Fishleap

Frostpaw was barely aware as she was picked up, and her head was so fuzzy, she couldn't tell who had picked her up.  As she saw the camp entrance, she groaned again, and slipped into the soothing blackness of sleep. - Frostpaw

Splashkit watched the other kits as they played together. She ran her claws through the grass, and a memory flashed through her head. A grey kit, smaller than she was now, struggling against the waves. She snapped out of the memory, gasping. *Who was that?* She thought. -- Splashkit

Duskbramble suddenly stumbled across Frostypaw from nowhere, the warrior's roleplayer being so horrible that she has absolutely no idea what is going on, is too insolent to ask for a recap, and just jumps into the roleplay. But that's irrelevant. "Frostypaw! What happened?" -- Duskbramble

(Its Frostpaw, not Frostypaw) I.. I broke my leg..." She moaned. - Frostpaw

(Fishleap found her-)—Willow

Fishleap lowered the apprentice into the medicine cats den. “Alright. You’re at camp now.” And turned to Duskbramble. “You can watch her.” She meowed.—Fish

Frostpaw woke up, her leg hurting even  worse then before. "Am.. Am I in the medicine den?" Frostpaw asked, more to herself than anyone in particular. She winced every few seconds, and she felt like she had a heartbeat in her leg. Then, an awful thought crossed her mind. What if she could never become a warrior! Her leg might never heal.... - Frostpaw

Splashkit thought of Blizzardkit and Chestnutkit. They seemed like such good friends. *No room for an '**​​awkward third wheel.*****-- Splashkit**

Seawhisper then slinked off as she then padded to the nursery. “Hey Splashkit! How are you today?” She purred.-Seawhisper

Turtle Blizzardkit finally pounced on Chestnutkit. “Hey!” She meowed. “No fair!” She then loosened her legs and kicked him off. “Hah!” She meowed then dashing around the nursery.—Chestnutkit

Crashkit overlooked the steep drop with an eager wave of his tail. The sudden, brutal death of the apprentices did not phase him- it excited him. What else lived in the ocean? Were there cats that could breath under water? *One day, I'll catch a shark!!* -- Crashkit

Blizzardkit wobbled clumsily before being scrunched up by Gullfeather. “What did I tell you!? You’re all muddy again.” She growled. Blizzardkit shrank back. “I’m sorry mom. I wanted to play with Chestnutkit.” Though she then sighed. “Fine, continue your playing.” She sighed. She couldn’t say not to that face. And he then smiled, a kitten tooth hanging out of his mouth as he’d then chased Chestnutkit around camp. Then a glimmer of moonlit water caught his eye, drawing him to the edge of the cliff located camp. “Whoa...” he meowed.—Blizzardkit

Splashkit looked around the camp ensuring no cats were watching. She headed down a rocky slope that led down to the shore. She walked through the shallow waves, letting the water wash over her fur. She padded back to the beach and curled up on the sand. The moonlight speckled her fur, making her seem to glow. *This feels like home.*-- Splashkit​​​​

Crashkit briefly glanced over at his sister's friend before returning his attention to the sea. As night fell, Foxstar took the selected warriors to the gathering. The tide, although higher than normal, had fallen for the night with the calming of the rain. Crashkit puffed out his chest, as now was his opportunity. He had no time for kit games- his clan needed him as a warrior. Slowly to avoid the eyes of the queen, Crashkit crept down to the trails that lead to the ocean beaches. -- Crashkit

Splashkit's tail swept the sand back and forth. ​-- Splashkit

Chestnutkit, the little kit she was couldn’t tolerate her brother boasting anymore. So she decided to creep after him.—Chestnutkit

Blizzardkir just watched from the edge as Chestnutkit left him and he saw Crashkit’s appearance on the beach.-Blozzard

Splashkit dug through the sand, and pulled up a small conch shell. She placed it on the sand and laid down. -- Splashkit

Crashkit glanced back to find his sister following him, and instantly a mischievous gleam appeared in his sea-blue eyes. "Walking on the dangerous side now, eh, Chestnut?" He teased his sister lightly before he continued to slip and slide down the muddy path. -- Crashkit

Chestnutkit fluffed her fur out. “Uh, yeah! It’s way easier to go out at night.” She meowed. “I’m always dangerous!” She added. Slipping down with him.—Chestnutkit

Splashkit looked up at the night sky in awe. She hadn't know how many stars there were. -- Splashkit

Crashkit snorted lightly as his paws slid over the pebbles, eventually leading him to land in the soft, cool sand. He glanced over at his sister once more with a toothy grin. "I dare you to jump in!" -- Crashkit

Splashkit whipped around at the sound of voices, and saw Chestnutkit and Crashkit. "Why are you two here?!" She exclaimed. -- Splashkit

"Well, we live here." Crashkit started in a sarcastic tone before he glanced at the dark water with an enthusiastic glimmer in his eyes. "We're going swimming cause we're SeaClan cats! If I'm going to be the best warrior ever like I want to be, I gotta be a good swimmer. I can't wait to be an apprentice, I need to start now!" -- Crashkit

Wildpaw raced over to Frostpaw "Are you okay! I'm so sorry i tryed to get someone as fast as i could!" --Wildpaw

Splashkit rolled her eyes. "Well, you better get used to me being here and interrupting your grand training." She snapped. -- Splashkit

"Please, it's not like you've already overstayed your welcome. You're wearing on me already, I swear." Crashkit mumbled in monotone before he tired of conversation and returned his focus to the water. Foxstar had issued his warning about kits around the beach, but had he listened? Of course not. His parents were wrapped up in relationship issues and focused on breaking up with each other. This was Crashkit's opportunity to prove himself, to become an apprentice early and a warrior even earlier. Without waiting for Chestnutkit to respond to his dare, Crashkit jumped into the dark water himself. -- Crashkit

Splashkit searched for words but couldn't find any. She glared at Crashkit and slipped under the waves. *Just ignore him.*​​​​​She told herself. *You're part of SeaClan now. Right?*-- Splashkit
