WillowClan/11

Storm frowned. She looked at Ember and patted the kit's head with her tail. Then Storm padded away. - Storm

*I can't stay here, knowing that those cats called Ember such mean things...she needs someone by her side to defend her on her journey.* Gale hadn't let it go. She remebered such awful things that Scorch and Flame had called Ember, and how Storm didn't rush to Ember's defense. Their father did at one point, but...he was no longer with them. She couldn't live with cats that berated  them. "C'mon, Ember. We've got our own story to make." -- Gale

Storm padded in the direction of the Twoleg Place. - Storm

Bass dipped her head and padded on with the kits.-Bass

Stonetooth watched the feuding family with his brow raised. When his mother had left, he was distraught- he still was. *Something tells me those kits are going to bite off more than they can chew...* Yet, the warrior made no comment, as it wasn't his place. Instead, he found Riverstone sleeping in the sun, and he laid himself down next to her. -- Stonetooth & Riverstone

Crow sobbed as she squirmed past Flowerkit. Waking the kit, Flowerkit blinked. “Huh? What’s wrong?” She asked. Crow turned and snarled. “Nothing.” She muttered.-Crow

Wolf looked up at Flame, heartbroken. “What?! She just abandoned us? Why would she do that?” He yowled. “STUPID WILLOWCLAN! STUPID WARRIOR CODE! STUPID CATS! STUPID, STUPID QUILLSTAR!” He screeched in anger. “I HATE MY LIFE! EVEN IF STORM DIDN’T DECIDE TO GO OR COMES BACK, I DON’T CARE!” - Wolf That Runs in Darkness

((Dude, that's *way* over the top...people are sensitive to that stuff))

Rainsplash raised her head and flicked at the kit. Wow, big words for someone who’s about to be crowfood.-Rian

(Oof, toned it down) - Wolfy

Rainsplash narrowed her eyes. “Wolf, what is the meaning of this?” She glared sharply to flame. Eyes narrowing to slits.-Rainsplash

Wolf hissed in anger, lashing his tail, but not responding. “Sorry.” He mumbled. “I didn’t mean it. WillowClan isn’t that bad.” - Wolf That Runs in Darkness

Rainsplash sighed. “What happened. What’s troubling you?” She asked gentling her tone.-Rian

Wolf shrugged. “Nothing. Storm left.” He said. - Wolf That Runs in Darkness

Frostbreeze slowly approached Quillstar and settled down next to the leader, who yawned lazily in response. "Hello, Danny." He murmured before he rolled onto his side to continue soaking up some rays. The warrior twitched her whiskers in amusement. "You seem to be enjoying yourself." -- Frostbreeze & Quillstar

Rainsplash let out a gasp of anger and sorrow. “I’m so sorry, Wolf, perhaps we should take a walk. Hmm?” She sighed as she gasped at him.—Rain

Wolf looked up. “Sure.” He said. As they walked out of camp, he said, “Sorry for what I said about Quillstar and WillowClan. WillowClan is a great Clan and Quillstar’s a good leader.” He said, looking back up at her. - Wolf That Runs in Darkness

Rainsplash chuckled. “Im not worried about that outburst. I know it’s fresturationg having someone abandon you, it hasn't happened to me, But you should know about Mistystar, she left without saying goodbye and scared her kits, not even here to see Stonetooth and Aspensoul become warriors. It I know anything, I will always protect her kits for her, I was her apprentice and she was like a mother to me. And I know She’ll return. She will. As will Storm. No one’s ever really gone.” She purred.—Rainsplash

Wolf cocked his head. “Mistystar? Really?” He said. “My father never really liked her, I don’t think. Neither does Flame.” But he felt hope at what Rainsplash had said. “You really think Storm will come back?” - Wolf

Frostbreeze looked over at Quillstar as the pair fell into a silence. "...So, Ashbreeze told you, didn't she?" The spotted she-cat finally spoke as she allowed her frame to relax, gentle gaze resting on the dark-coated leader. "...She did." He answered with a small sigh. "I'm assuming you were the first to know?" -- Quillstar & Frostbreeze

Rainsplash dipped her head. “Of course. I swear she will. Well, you should know about Mistystar as you know Flame had killed her own clanmates when she was still.... with Scar, And she killed many WillowClan cats and was exiled. Scorch and Storm came with her to for the DarkMasters and there was half the clan with and against Mistystar, causing her to leave the clan. And her kits as I said.” She sighed. “But I swear I’ll protect you and your sister so she can know her kits are safe.” She promised.-Rainsplash

Wolf blinked. “You would really do that?” His parents had never seemed to really care about him. - Wolf

“Of course. She’d be so dissapointed if you’d been dead when she returned. I’d do the same for any abandoned kits.” She meowed. “even if I’d ever not be fond of you, I’d still protect you and Mistystars kits with my life.” She promised. -Rain

"I was," the she-cat meowed before resting her head on her tiny paws. "I think she was afraid to tell you, afraid that you might be disappointed in her for what happened." Danny finished before Quillstar raised his head, a shocked expression on his features. "I'd never be disappointed in her! I'm very proud of what Ashbreeze has accomplished...and I think she'll be a wonderful mother, regardless of who fathered her kittens." -- Quillstar & Frostbreeze

Wolf purred in gratitude, and rubbed against Rainsplash. - Wolf

Rainsplash sighed. She really wished she could believe Mistystar would return, but every day her Hope seemed to leak. She kept telling herself over and over. And now she knew for a fact Storm would return. She paused. “Shall we get back to camp?” She asked.-Rain

Wolf nodded. “Sure.” - Wolf

Flame shrugged as she saw Wolf and Crow dash away. *I told you so Storm*. She laughed, "And that shows I would never be a good mother." Scorch rubbed against her. "You would be a great mother." Flame and Scorch padded away, knowing that the kits really didn't care. So they wouldn't either.—Flame and Scorch

As Rainsplash’s and Wolf came back to camp she dipped her head in goodbye as she then padded back to Quillstar. “I forgot to mention if you aren’t busy, Oakpaw’s completed his training and is ready to become a warrior.” She meowed to him-Rain

He had been enjoying his conversation with Frostbreeze, but good things never lasted. Quillstar slowly rose to his pas to hold Oakpaw's warrior ceremony, in addition to making a few kits into apprentices. He summoned the clan and went on his way. "I, Quillstar, leader of WillowClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. He has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend him to you as a warrior in his turn. Oakpaw, 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. Oakpaw, from this moment you will be known as Oaksky. StarClan honors your patience, and we welcome you as a full warrior of WillowClan." Next, he turned to the eager-faced kittens. "Rabbitkit and Rapidkit**,**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 Rabbitpaw and Rapidpaw. Your mentors will be Iceday and Fangflame, respectively. I hope they pass all of their knowledge onto you." -- Quillstar

Fangflame felt excitement flood through her. Finally, her first apprentice! - Fangflame

Forestfire smiled as she saw her friend get her own apprentice.--Forestfire

​Flame stared at the cats, thoughts whirling in her mind.—Flame

Oakpaw paused. “What?” He looked to Rainsplash. She dipped her head and Oaksky grinned. Now life would be easier.-Oaksky

Rabbitpaw narrowed her eyes as she saw Iceday. -rabbit

Mapleblaze sighed-maple

Storm sighed and returned from camp from the Twoleg Place. She looked around for her kits. - Storm

Flame narrowed her eyes as she saw Storm enter camp. She flicked her tail to the nursery where her kits were.—Flame

Rainsplash spotted her former apprentice and looked to where Wolf was. Well, she told him his mother’d come back. She did indeed.-Rain

Wolf saw Storm, and narrowed his eyes, backing away. She had left him. He wanted nothing to do with her. - Wolf

Crow narrowed her eyes as she Saw Storm. She didn’t more to say hello though. She stayed and watched from afar.-Crow

Flame watched as Wolf backed away from his mother. Not like he needed her right? What could she do?—Flame

Rain felt worry clutch in her stomach, it would make sense to be mad, but. Would he chose her over his own mother? Surely not....**—Rain**

Wolfpaw split off from Sproustripe while muttering several bitter curses underneath his breath before he approached the fresh kill pile. There, he quickly wolfed down a squirrel like it was nothing before he disappeared from camp once again. -- Wolfpaw

Oaksky huffed as he then turned to see Aspensoul and Mothpaw entering camp, she ran up to him. “Congrats!”-Oak

Stonetooth observed the ceremony from where he lay with Riverstone in the sunlight, his ears tuned in eagerly to whatever it was that Quillstar had to say. He liked it when cats got their warrior names, it was always exciting to guess what it might be. However, the charcoal tom paused when he heard the faintest rumbling, and turned to notice that his sister was asleep. And snoring. "Riverstone!" He hissed quietly as he prodded the tabby warrior with a paw. How embarrassing... -- Stonetooth & Riverstone

Icegaze paced in circles. She could tell him. What would he do? What would Quillstar say? She can’t keep it a secret forver right? what if she gave the kits away? Too obvious. How’d do that too? She was so clouded in the mind she ran into Ashbreeze. “Oh! Sorry.” She muttered.-Icegaze

Ashbreeze flattened her ears at Icegaze when the she-cat slammed into her before she hustled along in the direction of the nursery. *Names, I need to think of names...nothing related to him.* The pale queen thought to herself as she settled down in her nest. -- Ashbreeze

She really *was* out cold. Stonetooth prodded his sister once more before Riverstone finally rolled onto her back, revealing a white belly before she aimed a smack at her younger brother's face. "C'mon, Stonetooth! I was in the middle of a good dream..." -- Stonetooth & Riverstone

Ember purred. Gale, one of the only cats she really liked. Gale, always supporting her. *I'm so lucky...* the trio continued walking towards the TundraClan border. -- Ember that Rises from Ashes

((Alright, continue on main rp)) -- Hawk

*Two moons later...*

The light of dawn trickled into Quillstar's den, causing the leader to stir in his nest and blink away the sleep from his eyes. His movement caused the form of a she-cat to stir beside him. "...Quillstar?" She squinted against the faint sunlight, embracing the warmth of the young greenleaf with a small purr. "I believe you have some ceremonies to hold." The feline murmured to Quillstar before slowly she rose in a stretch, earning a small, thoughful nod from Quillstar. "...That I do." -- Quillstar & ??????

Storm curled her tail around her paws. It had been two moons later...and already things were starting to brighten up. - Storm

((Frostbreeze BP))-Rowan

Swiftshadow and Brambleheart gazed at Flame and Scorch sharing prey. They knew they would make great warriors.—Swiftshadow and Brambleheart

Twilight bounced over to Flame, Scorch, and Storm. She was soooo excited to become a warrior. Streak soon followed her over to the group. --Twilight and Streak

Flame twitched her whiskers. "Hey, what is going on?"—Flame

Twilight looked at her in surprise. She meowed, " Didn't you know? To day is the day we might become Warriors!"--Twilight

Flame held her face, feeling no joy. "Do you think I will be a warrior?"—Flame

Twilight look at her with surprise again. "Why would you not become one? I know they did not trust you in the past. But you have proven yourself a trustworthy and loyal cat." --Twilight

Flame raised her brows. "Mhm yeah right." She felt Scorch wrap his tail around hers.—Flame

Twilight said," I am serious Flame. Scorch, you tell her that she will become a warrior. She obviously does not believe me. Maybe you can convince her." --Twilight

Scorch looked at Twilight. "Flame could be right, could be wrong........the Clan has been strange since we came." He whispered in Flame's ear so only she could hear, "Wether you are a warrior or not, you are still great."—Scorch

Twilight looked at Scorch and let out an exasperated sigh. "Oui" She breathed. --Twilight

Flame raised her brows. "What?"—Flame

Twilight just meowed, " Nothing." --Twilight

Flame drew her lips back at Twilight and padded away.—Flame

When no one was looking Twilight rolled her eyes. *Geez Flame is harsh.* --Twilight

Scorch sighed.—Scorch

Quillstar marched towards the mound and summoned his clan. He had received word that several apprentices had completed their training...in addition to Wolfpaw. He didn't want to make the apprentice a warrior early, but he had been under pressure by several of the warriors. He was left with no choice. "I, Quillstar, leader of WillowClan, 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. Flame, Scorch, Twilight, Streak, Jaypaw, Mothpaw, Wolfpaw, Storm, Eaglepaw, and Stream, 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. From this moment forward, you shall be known as Flameheart, Scorchclaw, Twilightbreeze, Streakedfur, Jaystripe, Mothfeather, Wolfshade, Stormsong, Eaglestrike, and Streamecho. StarClan honors your courage and vocation, and we welcome you as a full warriors of WillowClan." **-- Quillstar**

Flame dipped her thanks to Quillstar. Eh I wanted Flameblood or something. Ah but hearts are filed with blood, so I guess it counts. She fell to the ground to see Scorchclaw knocking her out of camp. "Flameheart! We are warriors!" Flame purred, "Call me Flame if you want."—Flameheart and Scorchclaw

Wolfshade raised his chin as pride swelled in his chest, and an unnerving glow of confidence existed in his dark eyes. Finally, a warrior...next step: deputy. -- Wolfshade

Twilightbreeze nodded respectfully to Quillstar and then turned to the others. She meowed her voice full of happiness and excitement," Intruders are going to have a hard time getting into camp with all of us here to stand vigil. --Twilightbreeze

Ashbreeze sat in silence in the nursery, her head resting on her paws. Her sides were swollen, and at any day, she'd have her kits. StarClan have mercy on their little souls... -- Ashbreeze

Stonetooth and Birdsong returned to camp after their patrol. While the red she-cat walked off to chat with one of her friends, the dutiful Stonetooth sought out the clan deputy. "Rainsplash?" The charcoal-and-white tom called out curiously, although his eyes were narrowed in a serious manner. "...We came across a lot of fox scent trails on our patrol." -- Stonetooth & Birdsong

Brambleheart and Swiftshadow purred at their former apprentices. "Skyshadow would be proud."--Swiftsshadow and Brambleheart

Stormsong purred with delight. A warrior at last! - Stormsong

Stonetooth congratulated his apprentice, now Eaglestrike, on passing his assessment and earning his warrior name before he drifted towards the nursery to help clean up. The gray warrior enjoyed the simple tasks, the thoughtful things that made his clanmates brighten. Since Ashbreeze was heavy with kits, the queen wasn't able to clean up like she normally did. Stonetooth took it upon himself to pick up the slack. Slowly, the gray-and-white tom ducked into the nursery, moss hanging in his jaws. "...Ashbreeze?" -- Stonetooth

​Flameheart pushed Scorchclaw off her before getting a lick as she settled down for her vigil.—Flameheart and Scorchclaw

Jaystripe grinned as he looked at Mothfeather. “We’re warriors now!” - Jaystripe

Forestfire grinned at Fangflame. “Shhhh Jaystripe. You should be doing vigil like everyone else!”—Forestfire

Twilightbreeze sat down near Flameheart ande soon after Streakedfur took his place close to her. --Twilightbreeze and Streakedfur

Flameheart looked around the camp as the other cats started to settle for the night. Tiredness tried to drag her to sleep, but she forced herself open. She caught a faint glimmer of a black and white cat pad toward her. “I am so proud of you. You may be called Flameheart, but you will always be remembered as Flame That Burns Blood, former leader of The DarkMasters.” Flameheart pressed her nose into the she-cat’s shoulder. “I miss you so much Skyshadow.” Skyshadow purred agreement, and then left Flameheart with the new warriors.—Flameheart

Fangflame nodded in agreement with Forestfire, grinning. “Yeah, Jaystripe, SHHHHH” - Fangflame

Jaystripe frowned and quieted down. - Jaystripe

Stonetooth dropped the moss in shock when he realized that Ashbreeze's belly fur was tinted pink by her own blood. The pale-pelted queen was kitting- and things didn't look so good already. "P-Please...Stonetooth, get help." She whispered between moments of trembling before Stonetooth turned and blindly stumbled out of the nursery. "Help! I need an experienced queen or medicine cat, Ashbreeze is kitting!" -- Stonetooth & Ashbreeze

Flameheart raised her head, but stayed where she was. *Careful Ashbreeze*.—Flameheart

Swiftshadow immediately ran into the nursery and sat down beside panting Ashbreeze. She pressed her ear to the queen's chest and heard the kits rolling around. "You and your kits will be ok. They are just finding their way out." She started to calm the queen. *Who is your mate anyways?*--Swiftshadow

Ashbreeze gritted her teeth. "I-I think they're lost..." The queen responded in a hesitant way, spoken in voice that was very tense from the pain that she was suffering through. -- Ashbreeze

Swiftshadow placed her ear again on the chest, still hearing the kits slowly moving. "They are fine. You are doing great Ashbreeze." Many spasms pasted before two dark spotted kits slid out. "Congratulations Ashbreeze. Welcome kits to WillowClan." She nuzzled them to their mother's stomach and purred as she heard their little squeaks. "They look just like you Ashbreeze." *And someone I know.......but who? Ah my darn old brain.*--Swiftshadow

Morningglade peeked her head in the den, immediately wishing she hadn't. "Oh. My. Gosh." She muttered. "This makes me regret wanting to have kits." She peeked in again. "Hey Ashbreeze!..." She managed. "Good luck I guess!" -- Morningglade

Ashbreeze had lost a lot of blood over the process, feeling weak and light headed as she glanced down at the two furballs. They looked strikingly like their father, chocolate with neat little rosettes and darker extremities. The queen lay on her side, drawing in a shaky breath. "...Cinderkit for my daughter." After herself, not after her traitorous father. -- Ashbreeze

Swiftshadow purred. "Morningglade can you get some herbs please?"--Swiftshadow

Quillstar, concerned for the well-being of his first apprentice, paced outside of the nursery. It was Stonetooth who approached him, silent despite his gimpy gait. "So far, she's ok." The gray tom reported softly, hoping to ease the leader's worrying. "She...lost a lot of blood, however. Both the kits are alive and well." -- Stonetooth & Quillstar

Swiftshadow recurved the herbs and gave them to the queen. She poked her head outside and dipped her head to her leader. *Could Quillstar be ther father? I mean Ashbreeze is spotted, and Quillstar is dark furred*...... “You can come in Quillstar.” She went back to Ashbreeze.—Swiftshadow

Morningglade bonded in with the herbs, and gave them to Swiftshadow. "Hey Ashbreeze! When your kits are older, can I play with them? Also, are we friends now?" She grinned her signature smile. -- Morning

"Ashbreeze?" The concerned leader stepped inside, nosing the weak queen gently. "...Are you feeling alright? What do you need?" -- Quillstar

Swiftshadow picked up on of the kits as it lost its way to its mother’s belly.—Swiftshadow

Scorchclaw could smell the milky scents and squeaks of kits coming from the nursery. He looked at Flameheart.—Scorchclaw

"...Sleep." Ashbreeze responded lazily as she slowly curled her blooded tail around her two small furballs that squeaked quietly until the duo finally fell asleep in their mother's embrace. "...And a name for the last one." The queen finished as she slowly allowed her eyes to shut. Stonetooth sniffed the tomkit curiously. "He looks like a little leopard." The charcoal warrior commented curiously before he stepped back to give the sleepy she-cat space. "...I like that. 'Leopardkit'." Ashbreeze murmured. -- Ashbreeze & Stonetooth

Swiftshadow purred, “Beautiful.” She turned to the tom. “Now give Ashbreeze some privacy. She needs rest and it will soon be dawn. You can check on her after all of you get rest.” She shoved gently all the toms out before curling a distance away from Ashbreeze. *I guess my new job should help the queens. I am almost an elder.*—Swiftshadow

Ashbreeze drifted to sleep with Leopardkit and Cinderkit safe and sound for the time being, while Stonetooth and Quillstar slipped outside. The leader was met by Frostbreeze, who had patiently waited outside. "She's sleeping now," the black-and-silver tom murmured to the concerned warrior before leading her away with a small nod. -- Ashbreeze, Quillstar, & Frostbreeze

Flameheart blinked as she saw dawn come and the vigil was over. She was a full warrior now. She heard Ashbreeze’s kits squeaking and Swiftshadow talking to Ashbreeze. Scorchclaw padded up to her and touched noses. “I can’t wait to sleep in the Warriors’ den!” Flameheart purred and padded with the tom to eat some prey.—Scorchclaw and Flameheart

She still felt weak when she woke, but felt stronger at the sight of her two lovely bundles of chocolate fur. *They look so much like their father...* Ashbreeze felt her heart sink when she thought of their semblance to Muddyfang, but reminded herself that it was only appearance. He could not affect them now. However, from outside the nursery, there was a glare: Wolfshade. -- Ashbreeze & Wolfshade

Gracefall was curled up in her den. Her hunting was a success. She had caught a vole and a rabbit in a few moments. Her tail was rested on her nose and sneezed when her fur tickled her nose. ~Gracefall

Brambleheart ducked into the nursery and rubbed muzzeles with Swiftshadow. "Beautiful kits Ashbreeze." Turning to his mate, he murmmered, "Are you ok?" Swiftshadow twinded her tail with his. "Of course." Brambleheart asked, "Prey?" Swiftshadow purred and padded out of the nursery, calling, "I will be back in a moment Ashbreeze." They smiled when they saw Flameheart and Scorchclaw. "We are so proud of you. Skyshadow, I am sure, is prouder." They licked the new warriors as if they were their own kits and then let them be while chosing their own prey*.*—Swiftshadow and Brambleheart

Ashbreeze felt her stomach tense as Wolfshade's glare bore into her own before the spiky-furred warrior finally moved along. The queen held her breath before glancing down at Leopardkit and Cinderkit to ensure that they were doing alright- which they were, the two furballs simply snoozed away. She still felt weak from bloodloss, so she was grateful to see Frostbreeze entering the nursery with a squirrel for her to eat. "Thank you," Ashbreeze murmured after Danny offered her the piece of prey before she glanced up at the warrior with the slightest of keen smiles. "...Why do you smell like Quillstar, Danny?" -- Ashbreeze & Frostbreeze

Flameheart licked her lips after sharing prey with Scorchclaw. She stretched her muscles, her old scars aching. Scorchclaw sat close to her as they waited to be on a patrol.—Scorchclaw and Flameheart

"I- uh..." Danny stammered when Ashbreeze quickly asked her question, leaving the spotted she-cat to shuffle her paws around. The queen twitched her whiskers in amusement at the warrior's awkwardness. "Don't worry, your secret's safe with me, Danny." -- Ashbreeze & Frostbreeze

I'm can we have a cerimony for Dawn and Hollow to get their warrior names?))--DawnpawTheDevil

Twilight stretched and asked Streakedfur," Hey do you wanna share some prey?" Streakedfur blushed and then nodded. Twilight chuckled to herself *Toms*. She went over to the fresh kill pile and picked up a rabbit. She brought it over to Streakedfur. After they finished they shared tongues while waiting for their first warrior assignment.--Twilightbreeze and Streakedfur

Flameheart looked around the stirring camp. She felt Scorchclaw’s tongue on her ears as he gently cleaned them. It still felt weird to her and her fur slowly laid flat. Scorchclaw touches noses with her. “You ok Flame?” Flame nodded, although something didn’t feel right. —Scorchclaw and Flameheart

Hollow sat looking around at the camp. He had been here for a few days but it still didn't feel right. He was a rogue with Tabby and Dawn, then a DarkMaster, and now he was a clan cat in like a week. It's felt weird like something you couldn't ever explain. --Hollow

Quillstar was puzzled when he couldn't find Danny, so he instead turned to the clan mound to call a meeting so he could finish buisness first. -- Quillstar

Sunnyshine padded around, watching the newest warriors closely. They seemed strong. Witty. Loyal...? A pang of rage struck through her so hard and so fast she felt a flicker of fear. She still didn't trust Flame-no, Flameheart or Stormsong. They were traitors! She unsheathed her claws into the ground. It had been *two* moons. Why couldn't she get over her hate? But it was there. Lurking. Claws that gripped her shoulders when no one was looking. Sunnyshine took in a shuddering breath. - Sunnyshine

Okay so Hollow and Dawn havn't gotten their warrior names yet so Dawn will be Dawnrise and Hollow will be Shadowhollow)) --DawnpawTheDevil

Flameheart drew back her lips at Sunnyshine while Scorchclaw growled. *If this kit wants a fight, I will give her one!—*Scorchclaw and Flameheart

Dewpaw would watch them, wondering if a fight would break out between them. -Dewpaw

It was odd. Very odd seeing her sister again. Lilacpaw stood on the edge of camp, watching Wasppaw-no...Wasp pad over to Stormsong. The black-and-white she-cat seemed to be speaking to the new warrior, their faces tense yet not hostile. Lilacpaw turned away, feeling a pang of grief tear at her heart. She wasn't ready to forgive... Lilacpaw held no hate against the former DarkMasters, she promised, but it was her own littermate that made her anguish spike up. How could she forgive? Wasp had *abandoned* her. - Lilacpaw & Wasp

Sunnyshine turned, the fur on her shoulders bristling. She glared into Flameheart's dark eyes. The golden warrior felt ready to fight, to unsheathe her claws, but she was a seasoned warrior. She knew better. Sunnyshine forced her pelt to flatten and stood up straight, glowering down at Flameheart mockingly. "I won't fight you," Sunnyshine growled. "I'm more *loyal* than that." - Sunnyshine

Stormsong heard a voice, light yet dangerous, behind her. Wasp stood there, her tail flicking back and forth. "Congratulations." The former apprentice's words were kind, but her voice was cold. - Wasp & Stormsong

Flameheart spat, “Really? You are not acting like it!“—Flameheart

Forestfire gaped.—Forestfire

Sunnyshine felt a burst of anger shoot through her, so heated and hard that she was startled by its intensity. She couldn't control herself as she whipped around and snarled, "You murderer! You killed Firepaw *and* Stormsong! And you're calling *me* disloyal?" - Sunnyshine

Flameheart didn’t flinch. “Cute how a little kit like you tries to act all strong. And I am sure I am not the only cat here who was done disloyal stuff.” She narrowed her eyes at Sunnyshine. “Now go back to the nursery now Sunnykit.“ She purred and stalked away.—Flameheart

Sunnyshine curled her lip at Flameheart's back. *Calling me a kit? How dare she!*The warrior whipped around and swept out of camp in a flurry of rage. Just as she left, she spotted Spiderfang at the corner of her eye. Her fur grew hot. *I shouldn't be acting like this...* - Sunnyshine

Dewpaw hoped they wouldn't fight as she went out to hunt. -Dewpaw

"Thank you," mewed Stormsong, eyeing Wasp cautiously. "Will you be earning your warrior name?" Wasp laughed, quickly, dismissively. "I'm afraid not," she rasped. "Apparently I'm not loyal enough." Stormsong arched her brows. "It's all about loyalty, isn't it?" Wasp started to head out of camp. "Maybe. But perhaps we are all traitors..." Then she turned the corner and vanished, leaving the gray warrior puzzled with her ominous words. - Stormsong & Wasp

Flameheart followed Wasppaw. “Wasppaw come here!” She ordered.—Flameheart

Wasp stopped cold when she heard an oh so familiar voice calling her back... The apprentice turned slowly, her cruel amber eyes landing on Flameheart. Despite the rage burning beneath her fur, she kept her demeanor cool and collected. "Yes?" - Wasp

Streakedfur did some exercises that Juniperberry had given him for his shoulder.--Streakedfur

Twilightbreeze's eyes swept around camp. Saw Streakedfur, Stormsong, and Flameheart. She also saw a warrior challenging Flameheart. Sunnyshine right? She had made a mistake, Flameheart can handle herself. --Twilightbreeze

Flameheart narrowed her eyes. “What is wrong?”—Flameheart

Dawnrise had wanted to prove her loyalty to her rouge friends then the DarkMasters, and now WillowClan. She still didn't know many of the clan cats even though it had been a few moons. She thought that she could maybe start by talking to the leader first. Dawnrise saw Quillstar in his den letting out a sigh she then approched him. --Dawnrise

Also i think i will have my kittypet enter the clan soon but i don't really know how so if anyone has ideas put it on my wall plz.)) --DawnpawTheDevil

Icegaze paced once again with worry, her belly hurt so bad she grunted and she felt so ill. She had to get over the fear and be happy. But.... she couldn’t think of being happy if she bore halfClan kits. Thta would disturb the clan even more! She took deep breaths and didn’t stop pacing outside the nursery, her kits where so close to here. She couldn't wait....—Icegaze

Ripplepool always kept his eye on Juniperberry since that night, never looking away, he was worried for their kits and Wolfshade, he wasn’t looking great since Muddyfang left, his eyes shown hate and ambition which shook Ripplepool’s paws. “Dustypaw, did you see the Marigold leaves anywhere?” He asked.—Ripplepool

Rainsplash kind of felt heavy with so many warriors in the clan, more arguing was about in the warriors den about space and some warriors started to stretch the den even more with a rebuild. She sighed as she dipped her head the the warriors that stared at her. Though Icegaze fought her gaze. She frowned at her sister. Why was she so worried? She leaped from the clan mound and padded up to her. “Are you okay? Why are you worried about the kits? They’ll be great.” She frowned. Icegaze froze and as Rainsplahs fought her sister’s gaze she froze, her pupils where slits and her eyes where round blue. Rainsplahs took another step back as Icegaze stepped towards her, her paw’s trembling. “Rainsplash. It’s their father.” She wailed. Stopping the deputy from stepping away, but to step forward. “Oh, a secret.... you can tell me, I keep many secrets.” She sighed as Icegaze raised her muzzle to Rainsplash's ear. “It’s a SwampClan tom.” She muttered. SwampClan? How’d she ever get to know a SwampClan cat? But before she could speak Icegaze arched her back as she gave off a screech, sending Rainsplash’s gaze to Ripplepool.—Rainsplash

Mothfeather leaped on Jaystripe laughing as she grinned. “Gotcha again!” She grinned. Not noticing Aspensoul’s eyes on her.—Mothfeather

Ripplepool sighed with relief, “three toms and a she-kit.” He echoed. he yawned as he lay the kits to Icegaze’s side, thank StarClan Rainsplash helped get the paranoid queen into her nest in time for the kits to come. He watched the four of them suckle at Icegaze’s belly. “Frozenkit.” Icegaze muttered licking the gray tabby, she sighed as if in thought. “Mosskit and Reedkit.” She looked to the brown tabby kits. “And, Flakekit.” She muttered.—Ripple

Jaystripe grinned. “Oh please. I let you do that.” He said, rolling out from under her. - Jaystripe

Scorchclaw watched Icegaze as she had her new kits.—Scorchclaw

“arg!” Mothfeather flattened her ears and leaped, pushing his shoulders.-Moth

Jaystripe winced as the she-cat pushed down, eventually putting almost all of her weight on his shoulder blades making them fold in, and him collapse. “Okay.” He gasped. “Okay, maybe your better at this than I thought!” He wriggled like a worm, and said, “Ooh, a butterfly!” Making Mothfeather look up and loosen her grip in confusion, giving him time to squirm out. “Ha! There is no butterfly! Except for over there.” - Jaystripe

Forestfire bounded up to Fangflame. “Wow Flameheart is amazing! I want to go talk to her!”—Forestfire

​((Wolfy should Fang and Forest like be Flame’s 1# fan? Flame needs some annoying cats XD))-Rowan

Twilightbreeze walked over to Icegaze and meowed gently," They are beautiful. Congratulations. Listen. I know we are sisters but i don't feel like i know you. If you are willing i would like to be friends. --Twilightbreeze

​Streakedfur followed Twilightbreeze and meowed his congratulations to Icegaze. --Streakedfur

(Eh, Fang won’t really obsess. She doesn’t really care about Flameheart the slightest really, XD) - Wolfy

Fnagflame looked up at Forestfire. “Eh, seems okay.” - Fangflame

Mothfeather narrowed her eyes. “Wow. I can’t believe I fell for that! Again!” She let him loosen his grip and she yawned. “I’m starving.” She meowed.-Moth

Icegaze sighed. “If you’d like.” She meowed.— icegaze

Twilightbreeze gently licked her sister's ear. --Twilightbreeze

Jaystripe laughed and flicked his tail. “Well, Imma get some prey. You in?” - Jaystripe

((Okie))-Rowan

Forestfire nudged Fangflame. “Not like you could be any better!” She teased.—Forestfire

Mothfeather bared her teeth as she raced over to grab the fattest squirrel.-Moth

Icegaze sighed as she didn’t take her gaze off her kits.-Ice

Fangflame laughed. “Hmmmm, to be better would I have to be exiled and form my own group before participating in a huge battle, before rejoining?” She asked, grinning. - Fangflame

Jaystripe followed her. - Jay

Forestfire knocked over Fangflame, purring. “I am going to find Flameheart!” She ran with Fangflame behind before losing her. She found Flame talking to Wasp. “Hi Flameheart! Can I talk to you?” Flame glanced at Wasppaw. She whispered, “I will be back.” She padded away with Forestfire on her heals. She sat down with her tail over her paws. “Well?” Forestfire purred, “Flameheart it is really you! I have heard so much about you!” Flameheart rolled her eyes. “Yeah I thought so.” Forestfire felt embarrassed. “I just.......” Flameheart stopped her. “Yeah I get it.“ Flameheart padded away, Forestfire embarrassingly sitting.—Forestfire and Flameheart

Dawnrise sat next to Quillstar and said "I'm sorry if i am intruding but this clan is very lovely and i would like to be as loyal as a cat could ever be." --Dawnrise

“Twilightbreeze.” She sighed. “I know as sisters we must trust each other. So I must tell you the secret of these kits that shake me to the core.” She sighed. Listing her muzzle to Twilightbreeze’s ear. “Their father is of SwampClan,” and sighed. “I don’t know what’ll happen.” She sighed.—Icegaze

"I'm glad you feel that way, and I hope you can prove yourself a dedicated warrior to our clan." Quillstar responded to Dawnrise before he rose in a small stretch, eyeing the commotion in the nursery. More kits? It seemed that WillowClan was growing at an exponential rate, but he feared that such peaceful times would never last. Especially when Ashbreeze's kits were so symbolic of their father... -- Quillstar

Dustypaw glanced up at Ripplepool with a small frown. He still found the whole process of queens delivering kits to be...outright disgusting. Yet, he tried his best. -- Dustypaw

Ashbreeze was feeling somewhat better, raising her head to glance down at Cinderkit and Leopardkit lovingly. Their little ears had begun to unfold, and soon, she was certain that they'd open their eyes. Perhaps they were linked to the Dark Forest, perhaps their father was a traitor...but the queen loved them nonetheless. -- Ashbreeze

Flameheart padded back to Wasp. “What is really wrong?” She demanded.—Flameheart

Twilightbreeze shook a shocked look away from her face. "It will be ok. We have other half clan cats here and no one seems to care. Nothing will happen to your kits i promise. Even if i have to die protecting them!" --Twilightbreeze

Scorchclaw narrowed his eyes.—Scorchclaw

Wasp glanced coolly at Flameheart. "Nothing," she mewed. - Wasp

Flameheary sat beside the she-cat. “By nothing you mean something.” She pointed out.—Flameheart

Wasp glanced at the ginger she-cat. *Should I tell her?* She sighed. "Well, you see I feel like I don't really fit in here. I know we all feel that at some degree, but I really feel like my destiny lies somewhere else." - Wasp

Flameheart murmures agreement. “Yeah........but StarClan brought us back.“ She nudged Wasp gently. “Maybe they brought you back for something. But whatever it is, you will always be Wasp That Kills Mercilessly, as I am Flame That Burns Blood, leader of The DarkMasters.” She smiled, giving that she would always be able to talk to, before standing up and padding away.—Flameheart

Icegaze sighed and looked to Ashbreeze’s kits. “They are all so cute. I’m worried about all of their futures. Even the ones we don’t know of.” She sighed. “Thank you.”—Icegaze

Ripplepool sighed.-Ripple

"Uh yeah." Dawnrise respond as she saw her leader eyeing the nursery. "Uh you seem kind of busy so uh ill go hunt with some cats okay?." --Dawnrise

"Yeah, you go do that." Quillstar murmured passively before he rose to his paws to finally approach the nursery where he finally hesitated outside the nursery. *No...I shouldn't bother Ashbreeze. She needs her rest.* He felt like an overly protective big brother. -- Quillstar

Rainspkahs eyed Quillstar. “Quillstar. are you okay? Is there something about Ashbreeze you’re worried about?” She asked gently. He looked awfully distressed.—Rain

Flameheart padded into camp. Scorchclaw was sitting, the other cats were talking and Brambleheart and Swiftshadow were sitting close to the nursery. *Patrols?* She shook her head. *Clans are busy. Give them time*. She saw Scorchclaw waiting for her. Flameheart rolled her eyes, amused, and sat beside the tom.—Flameheart

"Oh- yes, I'm doing alright." The leader turned his head in the deputy's direction as she spoke, leaving the black-and-silver feline to turn his back on the nursery. "I'm just worried since she was awfully weak after delivering her kits." -- Quillstar

Stonetooth sat in the shade of camp, struggling with a thorn in his paw pad. His sister watched with a twitch of her whiskers in amusement. -- Stonetooth

Rainspkash purred. “I’m sure she’ll be fine. And if she isn’t later we still have three medicine cats and lots of cats who’ve had experience having kits such as myself or the other queens.” She meowed. Trying to reassure her leader.—Rain

Wolf ran over to Flameheart. - Wolf

Forestfire padded back to Fangflame. "Well I succeeded to embarrass myself." She laughed.--Forestfire

​Flameheart looked down at Wolf as he approached. "Hello Wolf." She mewed cooly.—Flameheart

“Hi!” He said. “Now that your a warrior, can you train me to be your apprentice?” - Wolf

Fangflame chuckled. “Ah, don’t worry I’m sure you’ll get Flameheart to notice you sooner or later.” She assured her friend. - Fangflame

Forestfire play swiped at her friend.—Forestfire

Flameheart though, Hmm bit didn’t you like Rainsplash? I am sure she told you wonderful things. Flameheart mewed aloud, “That is for Quillstar to decide.”—Flameheart

Quillstar prepared to respond to Rainsplash, but he found himself being approached by a tender-footed Stonetooth. "Rainsplash? Quillstar?" The charcoal-gray warrior called out with a small tip of his head. "We detected a whiff of fox on our territory when Birdsong, Riverstone and I went out on patrol earlier." -- Stonetooth & Quillstar

Rianspmahs looked to her leader. “Hmm. I think we should I vesigate and place more guards around camp if it’s in our territory.” She meowed.—Rain

"It was the southern border," the gray tom added as he slowly let his tail sink to his legs. Quillstar nodded slowly before returning his attention to the lynx point she-cat. "Increase security outside of camp to ensure they don't sneak up on us, and send a sizeable patrol to the southern border to see if we can locate a den." -- Quillstar & Stonetooth

Rainspkahs nodded and leaped to the clanmound. “We’ve spotted a fox on the southern border and I’m setting the camp to be heavily guarded!” She yowled. “Dewshine, Rivergaze, Mapleblaze, Scorchclaw, Barkpelt, Jaystripe and Flameheart will guard the camp, Morningglade and Mothfeather can guard the nursery!” She looked around. “Riverstone, Stonetooth, and Birdsong will lead the patrol of myself, Cobaltsky, Oaksky, Forestfire, Frostbreeze and Stormsong to the site where the fox was spotted.” She turned to Quillstar. “You May come if you’d like.” She added. Leaping down to meet the patrol.—Rainsplahs

"It isn't wise to have both leader and deputy out of camp- I'll stay here for now." Quillstar reminded the pale she-cat before slowly sitting down, ears anxiously twitching towards the spotted warrior when Frostbreeze's name was called. -- Quillstar

Riverstone eagerly trotted up beside Stonetooth who stood awkwardly with the thorn still in his pawpad. "You can't even handle a part of a plant- how could you handle a fox?" Riverstone teased her brother lightly who snorted out of mild amusement as his answer. -- Stonetooth & Riverstone

Rainsplash dipped her head and padded up to the two. “Where’s Birdsong?” She asked before spotting her sister. “Lead the way when you’d like.” She added as the patrol pieced itself together.- Rain

Oaksky growled to himself as he hauled himself to his paws and bristled as he padded to the patrol.- Oak

Forestfire glances at Fangflame before running over to join the patrol.—Forestfire

​Scorchclaw and Flameheart dipped their head. Flameheart whispered, “Maybe we can talk later Wolf.” and sat at the entrance of camp, while Brambleheart and Swiftshadow sat around the nursery even though they weren’t ordered to do it.—Scorchclaw and Flameheart

​Ravenclaw drew his lips back at Barkpelt before curling in the warriors’ den. R*ainsplash maybe saved me for another patrol.* He drifted into sleep.—Ravenclaw

Wolf nodded, and scurried into the nursery. - Wolf

Jaystripe nodded, and decided to guard the camp. - Jaystripe

Mothfeather yawned as she padded out of camp and looking under every rock to make sure the place was secure.—Moth

Flowerkit grumbled. “I wanna fight!” She yowled, being pulled back by Sunflower.—flowerkit

Icegaze lay her tail over her suckling kits and sighed as she rested her muzzle on her paws.—icegaze

"I'm coming," Birdsong hummed merrily before she trotted over to join the patrol, so that they could set out and track down the foxes. -- Birdsong

Brambleheart looked around camp, wrapping his tail around Swiftshado.—Brambleheart

Rainspkash followed.

Ripplepool sorted through old herbs and replaced them with new herbs.—Ripple

Stonetooth lead the patrol in the direction of the fox scent. "Be on the guard, their stench was pretty strong when we were there." The gray warrior warned before he proceeded into the depths of the territory. -- Stonetooth

Rainspkahs nodded and bristled her fur to look bigger and tougher in case the fox decided to sneak.-rain

Forestfire cast out her senses and slid out her claws.—Forestfire

Stonetooth walked on cautiously, but the stench of fox eventually became overwhelming. He hesitated, glancing back at the patrol. "...I'm not sure this is a good idea." The tom's hackles were raised as a sort of anxious feeling set into his gut- a behavior uncommon for the warrior. Riverstone, however, was still confident. "This way- I found pawprints!" She murmured. -- Stonetooth & Riverstone

Forestfire ran after the two cats.—Forestfire

((The foxes are coming to camp right?))-Rowan

((Probably)) Ashbreeze was enjoying her day by helping herself to a small red squirrel to hopefully regain some of her strength. Her spirit was lifted when the dappled queen glanced over to notice that Leopardkit had opened his eyes, revealing kitten-blue visionaries. She purred softly at her strong son before she nudged her daughter reassuringly, hoping to convince Cinderkit to follow in suit. -- Ashbreeze

(she isn’t there she’s with Ember and Gale)-willow

Rainsplash looked around. “We should space out. Not necessarily spread out. But space out. Just in case it comes we don’t want it knocking us all over.” She glanced back to the patrol as her belly turned and her gut hurt. *Well Stonetooth, we found tracks. No stoping now*.—Rain

oops)) --DawnpawTheDevil

Dawnrise approched Tabby (don't remeber their warrior name either) then and asked "Want to go hunting with me." --Dawnrise

((TABBY IS ALSO DEAD XD))-Rowan

OMG! Take THREE.)) --Dawn

Dawnrise approched Shadowhollow then and asked "Want to go hunting with me." --Dawnrise

Shadowhollow looked at Dawnrise blushing he said "Sure." --Shadowhollow

Dawnrise looked around to see any unocuppided cats. --Dawnrise

Quillstar angled his ears towards the great trees beyond camp, a wave of anxiety washing over the silver-and-black leader until his hackles bristled. He feared for the patrol hunting down the fox trails. Something about it felt all wrong, but he reminded himself that they *had* to deal with the pest problem. They couldn't let the foxes go on wandering through WillowClan territory. -- Quillstar

Stonetooth took a small step from his sister uncertainly, observing as the gray tabby eagerly nosed her way through the undergrowth in hopes of flushing out a fox. -- Riverstone & Stonetooth

Eaglestrike rested along the edges of camp, unbothered by the sudden tension felt within the air of WillowClan. He never quite understood their worrying- sure, there was foxes, but there were *always* foxes. Seeking them out would only spell for trouble, but...that wasn't the tabby tom's problem. The new warrior shrugged the thought off and continued to lap at his chestnut-colored bellyfur. -- Eaglestrike

Dawnrise gave up no matter how much she wanted to get to know other cats they never seem to want to get to know her. "Come on Shadowhollow." Dawnrise said flicking her tail. --Dawnrise

When Shadowhollow and Dawnrise came a clearing in the forest, Shadowhollow thought Dawnrise looks so pretty in the sun light, then he thought about getting older and being alone. Without thinking Shadowhollow licked Dawnrises nose. Dawnrise jumped back in suprise "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Shadowhollow gulped then let all of his emotions out "I'm in love with you!" Dawnrise looked at him squinting "How do you think i am even suppost to respond to that?!" Shadowhollow looked at his paws and whispered "I don't know." --Shadowhollow

(BEAUTIFUL! SHIP!))-Rowan

Thx)) --Dawn

Riansplash Twitched an ear as she heard the faintest noises.—Rian

Forestfire slid out her claws and crouched.--Forestfire

Mothfeather sighed as Aspensoul caught her eye she met his gaze and grinned.-Moth

Dawnrise looked at Shadowhollows dark brown eyes licking his nose back. "I'm glad you feel that way about me." Dawnrise whispered back. "Now lets finish hunting the clan will suspect something if we are gone to long." --Dawnrise

Ripplepool sighed as he licked Juniperberry’s ears in her sleep. He looked to Dustypaw. “Dustypaw. You need to know something, just, it’s a secret so don’t tell anyone. Wanna know?” He asked. Of course his apprentice had to know of his kits just in case. But what would Dustypaw do was still a mystery.—Ripple

Jaystripe looked up a bit, and saw Aspensoul and Mothfeather looking at each other. He merely blinked, before padding to the edge of camp, looking around for any foxes that could possibly enter. - Jaystripe

Dewshine flattened her ears as a wind ruffled her fur. They where right, ther was fox in the air. She looked sinister as she glared the way the wind came from.- Dew

Dawnrise and Shadowhollow came back with a robin and a fat hare looking at eachother blushing as the set the prey into the prey pile. --Dawnrise and Shadowhollow

Aspensoul grinned right back. "So how's your apprenticeship going?" He asked. -- Aspensoul

Mothfeather cocked her head. “Oh! You must’ve been sleeping! I’m a warrior now! And I’m Mothfeather!” She grinned as she waved her tail-Moth

"Your name is super cool!" He mewed. "Though not as good as mine." He joked. -- Aspen

“oh really? Mine sounds way more welcoming than aspen‘soul’ that sounds dark and brooding.” She meowed.-Moth

Jaystripe pricked his ears, listening in, bitterly. *Mine name is the best by far!* - Jaystripe

"Are you calling me brooding?" Aspensoul pretending to look offended. -- AspenSOUL

Mothfeather flattened her ears and felt a little embarrassed. “No! I’m saying your name. Not you! Don’t think I’ve seen you move your stinky nest next to mine at night!” She giggled.-Moth

"As if!" Aspensoul laughed, though inside he admitted it was true. -- Aspensoul

Mothfeather saw Jaystripe looks o her and she cocked her head. “I’m sure Jaystripe’s smelled it too.” She giggled.-Moth

Jaystripe turned his head. “Oh I have.” He said. - Jaystripe

“See!” She practically rolled over with laughter.-Moth

Ravenclaw put his paws over his ears, trying to sleep away from the noise.—Ravenclaw

​Flameheart drew her lips back. *Talk about being loyal to your Clan! You can’t even do your job!*—Flameheart

​Scorchclaw flattened his ears as he saw the three joking cats.—Scorchclaw

​Brambleheart and Swiftshadow blinked as they sat outside the nursery.—Brambleheart and Swiftshadow

Mapleblaze narrowed her eyes. “Can you three get back to work? Ther’s a fox on the lose and all you can do is joke about Aspensoul’s stinky nest?” She growled as Mothfeather looked away. then padding to find her sister.-Maple

Aspensoul stuck out his tounge at the retreating Mapleblaze. -- Aspen

Mothfeather giggled as she saw how childish the grumpy tom had become.-Moth

Flameheart dug her claws into the ground. “A kit would be smart enough to listen!” She growled.—Flameheart

((The start of Maple and Flame?))-Rowan

Mapleblaze whipped around. “As if RP you’d think these three are warriors.” She added.-Maple

Flame felt pleasure flow. “If you are not warriors, go hide in the nursery!”—Flameheart

Mapleblaze laughed. “I’m sure your mother would love to see you.” But instantly regretted the words as she stabbed her own back. None of them knew their mothers and Mistystar...—Maple

Flameheart snapped away the pleasure and fury burned within her. “If you Clans cats say you are so loyal, then do what you are ordered instead of flirting with each other!”—Flameheart

"Says the cat who abandoned them, and killed many of their loyal cats. What do you know about loyalty?" Aspensoul sneered. -- Aspen

Flameheart snarled, “Did I say me or CLAN CATS mouse-brained?! I never said I knew about loyalty, I said CLANS CATS! CLAN CATS!”—Flameheart

Aspensoul stuck out his tounge again, then padded off to the freshkill pile. -- Aspen

Brackenleaf curled up in his nest, and breathed his last. StarClan called him, and his body went cold. --Brackenleaf

Flameheart panted with anger. She growled so low that no one could really hear, “Too bad Mistystar isn’t here to whip your tail off!”—Flameheart

Wolf just decided to exist because he was bored. Very bored. - Wolf

Flameheart saw Wolf bored.—Flameheart

Wolf looked up at Flameheart. He padded over to his mentor. “Why do so many cats love you?” He asked. “Like that weird Forestfire one?” - Wolf

((Should one of the elders tell Quillstar that Brackenleaf is dead?))-Ivy

Scorchclaw blushed.—Scorchclaw

Flameheart sat down, her se ears still alert. “There are two types of love: Good love, and stupid love. Good love is say if you care for someone without acting like a mouse. Stupid love is,” She flicked her tail to Moth and the other toms, “Is that.” She licked Wolf’s head. “Forestfire is...........odd all right.”—Flameheart

Wolf nodded. He then asked, “Are you and Scorch going to have kits together?” - Wolf

Flameheart new that Scorchclaw was angry but embarrassed at Wolf. ”Are you ever going to stop asking questions?” She purred.—Flameheart

Stonetooth stopped dead in his tracks, hackles raised. "The pawprints lead off back into the heart of WillowClan territory..." The charcoal-gray tom observed with his eyes wide. "I think the foxes are heading to camp!" -- Stonetooth

Wolf dipped his head. “Uh, maybe.” He squeaked. - Wolf

Sunnyshine sat down. - Sunnyshine

Forestfire bristeled. “What are we waiting for?!” She sprinted back to camp.—Forestfire

​Flameheart purred, bit raises her ears as foxes entered the camp. “Wolf, get to the nursery!” Scorchclaw stood up beside her and they leaped at the foxes.—Flameheart and Scorchclaw

​Swiftshadow yowled as a fox headed to Wolf. She grabbed the kit by his scruff, but it was to late. She closed her eyes and covered the kit. She heard a growl as Brambleheart leaped in front. The fox bit his neck and blood gushed out. “Brambleheart!” Flameheart grabbed Wolf and shoved him into the nursery before attacking the fox. Swiftshadow crouched at her mate. “You shouldn’t have saved me!“ Brambleheart wrapped his tail around hers. “I would do anything for you. But it is my time to go my love. I will be waiting for you.” He touched noses with her before he fell still. “Brambleheart!” She bent her head, feeling his spirit weave around her as she hid him. She felt power and leaped with Brambleheart‘s spirit with her.—Swiftshadow and Brambleheart (Flameheart)

Wolf yowled in terror, and stayed in the nursery. - Wolf

Jaystripe snarled and lunged at a fox. - Jaystripe

Ravenclaw scramblers our of his nest. Foxes were everywhere. He leaped, relived a little when he saw Forestfire.—Ravenclaw

Riverstone turned on her heels and raced back to camp with Stonetooth by her side. The tom perked his ears and grimaced at the screams he heard. "We need to hurry, they've already reached camp." -- Stonetooth & Riverstone

Quillstar snarled at one of the red creatures that entered camp. With his hybrid blood, he was nearly the same size as a red fox, giving him the upperhand when compared to his clanmates. As the beast galloped towards the nursery, he jumped in front of it with a threatening snarl and swiped at its face with a massive paw. -- Quillstar

A fox shouldered it’s way into the nursery. Wolf whimpered in fear. Jaystripe leapt in front of him, snarling. - Wolf and Jaystripe

Ashbreeze pulled her two clueless kittens closer to her belly, watching in horror as Quillstar rolled with a red-furred fox nearly identical in size to the giant leader. The canine snapped its jaws wildly, trying to burrow its teeth into the flesh of WillowClan's leader before Quillstar finally sunk his own teeth into the fox's neck. It howled in protest, kicking its hind legs at the silver-and-black tom's belly before it found its own fangs fastened into Quillstar's shoulder. -- Quillstar

Flameheart felt grief in her stomach. *Are you kidding me? First Scar and Skyshadow, now Brambleheart?* She shook the thought away as she heard Wolf. She yowled, “Go protect your mate Jaystripe!” She snarled. The fox was young like her, the same size as she was not fully grown. “Hey fox you like blood! Well come get me!” She leaped at it’s back and sunk her teeth and claws into its body. It yowled and rolled over onto its back, squishing her. She went limp and felt it get off of her. At that she sank her teeth into its neck while Scorchclaw snapped at its legs. It yowled and ran out of camp. “Ok now the next!”—Flameheart and Scorchclaw

Jaystripe frowned. “I don’t have a mate!” He said, before nodding and darting back into camp. - Jaystripe

Twilightbreeze leaped on a fox's back, but it threw her off. She sprang to her feet, but was nocked over by a swip of it's paw. Streakedfur leaped at it and distractied it long enough for Twilightbreeze to get up. She jump at it and clawed it's back while Streakedfur scrached at it's face. Finally they drove it off--Twilightbreeze and Streakedfur

Dawnrise and Shadowhollow ran out of the camp seeing the Fox running. "What happened!" Dawnrise screamed. --Dawnrise

Wolf let out a little snarl, and swiped darted out of the nursery, swiped at a fox and darted back into the nursery, before it could hurt him. - Wolf

It seemed that as soon as one fox left, another would come back into have its rounds. Quillstar imagined that it was a group of siblings, all from the same litter. They seemed to be *toying* with the clancats, having their fun despite the injuries sustained. Quillstar struggled and rolled with the fox in which he had his claws around until finally the creature released the leader's shoulder, leaving Quillstar to chase it from camp. -- Quillstar

Flameheart yowled, “Wolf stay in the nursery!” She was then drowned by two foxes as they rolled with her. They tore old wounds open and ripped off her fur. With rage, she kicked them off and leaped into its belly, clawing at its eyes. The other fox tries to leap at her from behind, but she kick it in the face and it crashed into a rock wall. They both let out a whimper and scrambled away. “Who’s next?!”—Flameheart

​Scorchclaw yowled, “Foxes are attacking the camp!” He battered at a fox.—Scorchclaw

Shadowhollow ran toward the nursery trying to make the fox go away from the nursey. --Shadowhollow

Quillstar winced at the intense pain in his shoulder, craning his neck to observe a stream of dark scarlet blood pooling out of his own wound. Yet, the adrenaline was slowly making the agony web away, and instead protecting his clan was on his mind. *Rainsplash's patrol...I pray to StarClan that they're safe out there.* -- Quillstar

Stonetooth hared alongside Riverstone when camp was in sight. "Hurry!" The gray bicolor tom yelled to the rest of the patrol from over his shoulder. -- Stonetooth & Riverstone

Rainsplash followed and leaped into camp as she widened her eyes when she saw the fox, it was huge! She rain and leaped onto its back.—Rain

((For Rainsplash)) Stonetooth's formerly broken leg was aching from all the running and quick-stopping, leading the limb to grow stiff and somewhat cumbersome as he tried to fight. Alongside Riverstone, he slashed at one of the larger foxes before the canine turned and swatted at his eyes. The gray-furred warrior hissed and recoiled, only to see it chasing down Riverstone with its jaws wide when he opened his eyes once more. Stonetooth attempted to race after his sister to save her, but the movement caused him to stumble over his injured leg and fall. "Riverstone!!" He cried out desperately as the fox continued to hound after her. -- Stonetooth & Riverstone

Dawnrise called after Quillstar who was loosing blood quickly. Using the little medicale skills she had she ran after Quillstar with a mouth full of leaves. --Dawnrise

Rainsplahs whipped her head around as she’d been formerly thrown off the beast she yowled in terror. “No!” And dashed faster than she ever had in front of the fox and Riverstone and elaped on the fox’s muzzle, clawing at it’s eyes she hissed in rage as she’d steered it away though her yowls or rage quickly turned to horror and pain as it sunk it’s jaws in her throat and she held on a bit longer until she’d loosened her grip and fell to her paws, she stood back up but had suddenly realized the pool of blood beneath her and gasped though she led dizzy and looked to the fox as it was with the other warriors. Ripplepool ran up to her. “Rainsplash! Come on come in the medicine cats den!” Though as he said that she had lowered as his eyes widened.—Rain

Mothfeather flattened her ears as she’d never seen a fox other than.... “Stonetooth!” She called. “Do you recognize the scars on the fox? Could it be the one we fought earl—!” Before she could finished her hind leg was gripped and she yowled with horror as she tried to flee, though it’s grip hardened on her leg and she was thrown across the camp and landed with a thud. —Moth

Icegaze pulled wolf and crow with a paw to the back of the nursery where she was, “don’t worry, warriors are guarding the nursery.” She frowned. She had a hard time fighting the urge to fight the fox and she needed to stay with her kits. She sighed though breaths had been quick as the tension raised.—Icegaze

Scorchclaw leaped at a fox that was entering the nursery and sunk his teeth into its shoulders. Swiftshadow leaped beside him and clawed at the fox’s belly. It whines and left.—Swiftshadow and Scorchclaw

​Flameheart’s mouth was dripping with blood and her eyes gleamed. She saw a fox running over to Mothfeather. *Looks like your mates aren’t here to save you*. She leaped on the foxes tail and ran her claws along its back, feeling the flesh tear. It yowled and fell, dragging itself out. She looked hungrily for the next fox.—Flameheart

Ravenclaw saw Forestfire being pushed into a wall. He leaped on the fox and clawed it’s cheeks. It fled and he smiled at Forestfire. “I am not a kit Ravenclaw!” She scampered away and Ravenclaw leaped again.—Forestfire and Ravenclaw

Rabbitpaw stared in horror as Iceday lay unmoving on the ground. What....-Rabbit

Shadowhollow grabbed the foxes tail tearing at it's flesh. The fox let out a large yelp running out of the camp Shadowhollow ran after it to make sure it was gone for good. --Shadowhollow

Wolf nodded, weakly. “Okay.” He squeaked. - Wolf

Jaystripe ran over to Rainsplash. “Rainsplash, get up!” He yowled. He looked up at Ripplepool. “Help her!” - Jaystripe

Mothfeather felt the whole world spin as she tried to get to her paws from being thrown across camp but her leg hurt like all StarClan!-Moth

Ripplepool shook his thoughts away before dragging the deputy,-Ripple

Jaystripe then ran over to Mothfeather. “Are you okay?” He asked her. “Probably not.” He then leaped on a fox near her, snarling, and clawing at it. - Jaystripe

Mohfetaher shook her head. she couldn’t see strait before she saw the red fur and shook her head back to reality before widening her eyes at the fox. Looking to her leg she quickly limped the other way.-Moth

Flameheart clawed at the fox’s eyes. “Jaystripe save Mothfeather!” She taunted. She flipped on the wolf and sunk her hind legs into its throat.—Flameheart

The fox threw Jaystripe off and stomped on his rib cage, *hard.* All the air whooshed out of him, and he cried out, as the fox dragged it’s claws down his side, and blood gushed out of him. He staggered to his paws, and bit it’s muzzle, and clawed at it’s eyes, before stumbling away, coughing up blood. - Jaystripe

Do something Rabbitpaw! Firts moon as an apprentice and you’re gonna get cats killed standing there! She told herself before dragging Iceday to the medicine cats den.-Rabbit.

Mapleblaze slapped the fox’s muzzle away from Jay.-Maple

Flameheart yowled, “Are you a kit, kittypet or warrior Jaystripe?!” She realesed the fox and soon all the other foxes went as well. She panted, only a few wounds on her, but she smiled with bloody teeth.—Flameheart

Jaystripe ignored Flameheart, as he swiped at the fox one last time. He looked at MOthfeather. She was safe. He had saved her. His legs shook, and it hurt to breathe, as the fox had broken his ribs. Blood continued to flow out of his wound, and he focused on trying to stay upright. - Jaystripe

Jaystripe blinked away the dizziness. The blood wasn’t flowing as bad now. - Jaystripe

Scorchclaw threw Jaystripe our of the way and clawed at the fox’s neck. It whimpered and ran, leaving no more foxes in camp. He looked at Flame, worried. He relaxed when he saw she was covered in more fox blood than her own.—Scorchclaw

Swiftshadow gasped as the foxes went. “Thank StarClan.” She then crouched at all the dead bodies: Brambleheart, Iceday, Rainsplash and Brackenleaf. “May StarClan welcome you.”—Swiftshadow

Flameheart wailed as she saw Brambleheart dead. “No not you too!“ She sobbed as she pressed her nose against his fur. “Thank you for everything. Please protect me.” She felt Scorchclaw pressing against her and the small paws of Wolf.—Flameheart

Wolf pressed against Flameheart, shivering. He saw Rainsplash laying in a puddle of her own blood. *Not you too . . .* - Wolf

Fangflame looked at Forestfire. “Are you okay?” - Fangflame

Rainsplash’s body shook as she suddenly woke and tried to carry herself up. Grunting she ached everywhere and fell back into her blood.-Rain

“Rainsplash!” Yowled Wolf, sprinting over to her. He looked up at the medicine cat. “Do something!” He whimpered. - Wolf

Flameheart drew her lips back at Wolf. She growled, “I should have killed those foxes.”—Flameheart

Forestfire grinned.—Forestfire

Wolf pinned his ears back against his head. “Is she gonna die?” - Wolf

“don’t worry.” She wheezed. Hauling herself up. “I’m...” she breathed. “Fine.” her breaths where deep as Dewshine rushed you to her. “R-Rainsplash!” She whimpered as Rainsplahs fell back down.-Rain

Ripplepool shook his head. “There’s too much blood Wolf...” he muttered.-Ripple

Wolf buried his muzzle into Rainplash’s fur. - Wolf

Flameheart Bowes her head as Rainsplaah slowly died. Sure they are their own problems, but she was a special she-cat. “Rainsplash, I hope StarClan welcomes you. Please.............say hello to Skyshadow and Brambleheart if they are there.” She choked out the words before tears streamed down her cheeks.—Flameheart

“no! I’m, not...” she trailed to raise herself. “I can’t die.” She wailed. She frowned as she saw wolf. Though deep down she knew she was gonna die. She, she couldn’t.... can’t, the clan....—Rain

Tears formed in the young kit’s eyes. “I’ll never forget you.” He whispered. - Wolf

Flameheart gasped as she felt the urge to kill Rainsplash. *Are you kidding me Scar? I killed you and yet you still try!* “P-please Rainsplahs.”—Flameheart

Rainsplahs flicked her gaze to all the cats Before her gaze landed on Riverstone. The she-cat looked rather shocked, she then meowed. “I had to save you, it was a promise. I had to keep you three alive for when Mistystar returns...-Rian

Flameheart flattened her ears. *Yet I speak and no one hears.* She blinked and padded to do vigil for Brambleheart, Scorchclaw joining her.—Flameheart

Wolf remembered what Rainsplash had told him about how she had made a promise to protect Mistystar’s kits. And how she had told him she would protect him and Crow. He knew she had to go to StarClan now. *But what if I don’t want her to go.* He thought. *What if I want her to stay here with me?*- Wolf

Swiftshadow touches her cousin’s ear with her nose. “Goodbye Rainsplash.”—Swiftshadow

Quillstar hung back to allow Rainsplash's family to be close to her. The bleeding in his shoulder was slowing, and finally the attack by the foxes had ended. Maybe the pesky red dogs had been chased off for good, but at a cost: WillowClan lost its deputy, along with an elder. He could hear Riverstone crying over Rainsplash, how it was all her own fault, while Stonetooth attempted to comfort her with gentle words. -- Quillstar

Morningglade bit her lip, staring at Rainsplash's limp body. Patch brushed up against her, offering silent comfort for the loss of the deputy. -- Morningglade

Ripplepool muttered into her ear before she went. “I, I forgive you.” And sobbed. Padding up to Quillstar. May I?” He looked to the Leaders wound.-ripple

Dewshine dug into her fur, she’d always miss her mother.-dew

The leader allowed his hazel gaze to dance across camp, praying that he had lost no other lives, until his eyes snapped over to Ripplepool. "Oh- uh, check on the others first, please." Quillstar murmured before returning his attention to his clanmates. He had nine lives to spare. -- Quillstar

Ripplepool nodded as he’d then stared at his mother’s body. “Iceday is dead. Rabbitpaw needs a new mentor.” He mwowed before padding up to flame.—Ripple

Crow gagged. “Why’d you care about her so much again? She’d a weirdo!”-Crow

Eaglestrike had decided to fight for his clan. Maybe he had a bit of a sour temper towards the older warriors, but he still believed in the unity of WillowClan. The dark tabby had managed to do some damage to the ear of one of the foxes before it left, but now he also had a nasty bite wound on his paw from it. But...worth it. -- Eaglestrike

Mothfeather leaned on Jaystripe as both headed into the medicine cats den, “R-Ripplepool?” And then the medicine cats, all three of them had healed the two cats up. Though Mothfeather Would have a small limo for awile as Ripplepool stated. She sighed. “I can’t believe this...”-Moth

“be nice you ungrateful furball!” Mapleblaze scuffed Crow’s ears.-Maple

Icegaze frowned. “Is everyone okay? I can’t see...” she muttered.-Ice

Ashbreeze still wrapped herself tightly around her two tiny furballs, on the alert for the sake of protecting her vulnerable kittens. However, things seemed to have quieted down outside, and so the queen slowly loosened her grip. Glancing down with rounded eyes, she noticed that Cinderkit had also opened her eyes. -- Ashbreeze

Oaksky padded into the nursery. “I know all the queens Must be worried so I’m here to report to you.” Hiding the vicious wounds on his scruff he started. “Rainsplash, Brambleheart, and Iceday are dead, along with many wounds throughout the clan. Rabbitpaw needs a new mentor and Quillstar will a point a new deputy.” He glanced to all the kits. “This clan gets bigger every day...” he muttered. “Too big.”-Oak

Swiftshadow raises her head away from her dead mate. “I love you Brambleheart.“ She dragged him away with Scorchclaw and Flameheart as they went to bury him.—Swiftshadow

Ravenclaw breathed as Forestfire was alive.—Ravenclaw

​Forestfire spat, “Ah my stupid shoulder!” She licked it.—Forestfire

Rippkepool pricked his ears at the wail and ran to Forestfire with a bundle of herbs in his mouth. “Here.”-Ripple

Wolfshade was marred with scratches and his coat matted with blood- some his own, and some that belonged to the foxes. The warrior carried himself with pride and between his powerful jaws rested a trophy: a fang from one of the foxes. He had fought with dignity and prowess, and now...the position of deputy was open. It would have to be his. -- Wolfshade

Forestfire stepped aside. “I am ok.” Her shoulder bothered her and she fell on her knees. “No I am not ok.” She took the herbs and went into the medicine den.—Forestfire

Mapleblaze trotted over with wet moss to the queens. “water?”-Maple

Ripplepool chucked until he came to Flameheart. “Oh, need anything?”-Ripple

Rabbitpaw sas Wolfshade. “Whoa! You took a tooth! So cool! You should be the next deputy!”-Rabbit

Flameheart lofted her head from Brambleheart’s grave. “No.” With that she left him and the others and padded into the forest.—Flameheart

((Willow should we do the Ripple and Flame thing after he treats the other cats?))-Rowan

(yes)-willow

Ripplepool sighed and then padded to Stonetooth. “Need anything?”-Rippel

Stonetooth looked up from his mournful sister's side. His wounds weren't particularly deep- he was certain that they'd heal just fine on their own. "Maybe just a poppy seed for the pain...my leg's acting up again." -- Stonetooth

"I'm fine," Ashbreeze murmured softly, refusing to look away from her pair of kittens. She touched her nose to theirs gently, before Cinderkit seemed to be struggling with something. "...M...Momma?" -- Ashbreeze & Cinderkit

“ah, ill go get some poppyseeds and marigold.” He then dashed back.-Ripple

Icegaze wailed. “Rainsplash’s dead!” Though she looked to her kits and licked their ears.-Ice

"Yes," the queen whispered in a pleasant tone as a soft purr began to rumble in her throat. She permitted her tail to wrap around Leopardkit and Cinderkit. "Yes, that's me...I'm your momma." Ashbreeze never expected herself to have kits, but there she was- and she was enjoying every moment of it. -- Ashbreeze

Icegaze frowned as she then cocked her head as Frozenkit looked up at her, eyes closed.-Icegaze

Jaystripe nodded to Ripplepool gratefully, before turning to Mothfeather. “How‘s your leg?” - Jay

Woof padded back to the nurser. His ears flopped, sadly. - Wolf

((@Whiskers: AWWWWWWMYGOSH)) -- Whiteout

Morningglade padded quickly after her sister, peeking her head into the nursery. Her gaze fell on Ashbreeze who was looking at her kits with such love and adoration in her eyes, Morningglade couldn't help but let out a grin. "Do you think I'll ever have kits with Muddyfang?" She asked Mapleblaze after returning back to camp. "Will I ever have someone to call me their Momma?" -- Morningglade

Scorchclaw nudged Swiftshadow as she was still bowing her head over her mate's grave. "Brambleheart will always be with you. But he won't be happy to see you mourning here for the rest of your life." Swiftshadow looked at Scorchclaw in the eyes. "Yes, you are right." Scorchclaw led his former mentor back to camp.—Scorchclaw and Swiftshadow

Sunnyshine plodded around camp, her paws weary. She spotted Wolfshade. - Sunnyshine

Windbird had a sizeable chunk missing from her ear, but the bleeding had slowed. Thunderflame, however, had missed the fight because he was far away from camp on a hunt. He had since returned, placing himself by his sister and concerning himself with her injury. However, the she-cat wasn't quite paying attention. "Wolfshade's so brave and strong! We need more cats like him." Windbird declared with a stoic expression. "I hope Quillstar gives him an apprentice soon." -- Windbird & Thunderflame

*This is all my fault...* Stonetooth thought as he bowed his head and felt his stomach tense. *If only my stupid leg hadn't given out, if only I had been fast enough...I could have been in Rainsplash's place instead.* Mistystar would be disappointed in him. The charcoal-gray warrior gently touched his nose to his sister's shoulder, attempting to hide away the sorrowful emotion in his eyes. "Will you be alright?" He asked Riverstone in a whisper, who needed solemnly before Stonetooth turned to leave camp, drawing in a deep, shaky breath. -- Stonetooth

He'd have until Moonhigh to select the next deputy, however, picking a new mentor for an apprentice needed to be immediate. "Mapleblaze," Quillstar turned to the patched warrior, "you'll take over training Rabbitpaw." The salt-and-peppered feline decided before angling his ears after Stonetooth, observing as the disturbed warrior left in a hurry. He'd lost many loved ones recently, so the leader couldn't blame the warrior for stepping out to catch some air. -- Quillstar

Mapleblaze touches noses with the apprentice and grinned.—Maple

With Leopardkit and Cinderkit becoming more mobile as they slowly reached one moon of age, Ashbreeze was having more reason for concern. It was cute, watching them stumble over words or calling her "mommy", but she was worried that they'd poke their noses into trouble. "Oh, Leopardkit, sweetie- don't crush your sister!" The queen fretted as she pulled the tomkit off of the squeaking Cinderkit. -- Ashbreeze & kits

Mithfeather sighed. “Ripplepool said I’d have a limp for awhile...” she grumbled to Jaystripe. Then hearing the Wolfshade comments. “He needs an apprentice mousebrains! That’s the rule.” She meowed.-Moth

Icegaze sighed and settled as she saw her kits. “You won’t be harmed.”-Ice

The pale-furred feline paused, nudging the rosetted kits apart. "Cinderkit, don't eat Leopardkit's tail! Leopardkit, don't- aw..." Ashbreeze let out a heavy sigh. This was going to be difficult. Maybe it was time that she take them out of the nursery, to get them more exercise for their little brains in order to get them to sleep? -- Ashbreeze

Jaystripe flicked an ear, and shrugged. “Maybe Quillstar will just make Deputy anyways.” - Jaystripe

She decided to go with it. The queen poked her head out of the nursery curious, glancing around to ensure that the foxes were gone- which they were. Ashbreeze retreated back inside to nudge Leopardkit and Cinderkit along, helping the kittens waddle out of the nursery so they could see their home for the first time. -- Ashbreeze

Scorchclaw rolled his eyes.—Scorchclaw

​Swiftshadow did a weary grin as she saw Ashbreeze’s kits.—Swiftshadow

Leopardkit squinted his pale blue eyes against the harsh sunlight, a brightness he didn't have to face in the safety of the nursery. His sister, Cinderkit, chose to shyly hide behind their mother's pale heels to block out the sun and suspicious glances. Wolfshade glowered at the kittens. They looked just like *him*. -- Cinderkit & Leopardkit (WC) & Wolfshade

Icegaze purred but shot Wolfshade a warning glance. He’d better not be mean to kits for StarClans sake. Though she’d cooed at her own kits. Frozenkit looked like their father build wise, and... Reedkit looked like him. Though she’d been the only she-cat. She sighed. “I think I should tell him...” she muttered.—Icegaze

Mapkebkaze and Rabbitpaw’d secretly slipped out of camp before all the ruckus and started to train. “Great job.” Mapleblaze bowed her head as her apprentice finally perfected the hunters crouch. “Remember tail lower though, not touching the ground but low enough. Other than that we can begin the hunting. If you want to be a warrior quickly then we’d need to train every day all day.” Mapleblaze instructed as she scented a squirrel nearby. “Observe.”—Maple

Shadowhollow came back to the camp (after he ran for a whole day) --Shadowhollow

Rabbitpaw and Mapleblaze returned with a few squirrels and a mouse as Rabbitpaw was happy with her new mentor.-Rabbit

Rivergaze sneered, taking her gaze off of Ravenclaw made her mad as she saw a wheezing, huffing, and puffing, Shadowhollow. “can you at all be anymore annoying!?”-Rivergaze

Dawnrise ran up to Shadowhollow "Where have you been I have been worryed sick!" Shadowhollow licked her check "At least we are still together." --Dawnrise and Shadowhollow

Flameheart wrapped her tail around her paws and looked at the territory. Her eyes looked like fire as the setting sun reflected in her eyes.—Flameheart

Rivergaze gagged before looking back to a Ravenclaw. She sighed.-Rivergaze

Ravenclaw felt embarrassed as he saw Rivergaze looking at him. “Ummmm Hi?”—Ravenclaw

Dawnrise pulled away from Shadowhollow. "uh i got to go." Dawnrise thought maybe i should make another try at getting to know the clan. --Dawnrise

The bleeding in his shoulder had since stopped, so Quillstar sat by his den to observe the clan and ensure that everything was going alright. He noted that Ashbreeze had finally found her bravery and had taken her two little furballs out of the nursery to show them to the world. He couldn't resist smiling, even if the kits did resemble Muddyfang more than their mother. -- Quillstar

Stonetooth slowed his gimpy pace once he got out of camp to catch his breath. Guilt weighed his chest down like a heavy brick. *If I was a better warrior, Rainsplash would still be alive.* -- Stonetooth

Quillstar perked his ears as he was approached by Frostbreeze, and he felt concern wash over his entire form when he noticed a bite on her leg. "You're hurt!" He furrowed his brows out of worry, rising to his paws to inch closer to observe her wound, leading the spotted warrior to sit down. "Are you ok?" Quillstar asked with a cock of his head. Danny shuffled her paws around. She wasn't going to lie to him. "...I was really scared, but it feels...*good* to defend a clan." -- Quillstar & Frostbreeze

Rivergaze flinched. “Oh! Nothing. Just a little dazed since the whole fox thing....” she muttered.-Rivergaze

Dewshine sobbed over Rainsplash’s body once more. Ignoring her wounded muzzle. Her mother had always been there and since the fight.... she dug her muzzle deeper into her fur. “Please....”—Dewshine

Ravenclaw slowly backed away.—Ravenclaw

Scorch looked around while Swiftshadow padded to the nursery. "Where is Flame?"—Scorchclaw

Ripplepool huffed as he’d been running around camp for so long delivering herbs. He took in a breath as he came up to Frostbreeze. “H-here.” He yawned as he placed the herbs beneath him—Ripple

Scorchclaw grunted as no one answered him. *Flame will come back. Soon.*—Scorchclaw

Twilightbreeze pressed her muzzle into Rainsplash's body and murmured these last words, " I know we were never good friends or sisters but i will mourn you." --Twilightbreeze

Icegaze frowned as she called Twilightbreeze over, “can you take over Dewpaw’s training? I can’t train her with these kits.”-Icegaze

Dewshine wailed as she then dashed out of camp, dismay filling her, her family was falling apart! She dashed and then started to hunt. To clear her mind. (Do not follow her pls, maybe flame can find her when I say so)-Dewshine

((Okie. Friends for them?))-Rowan

(ill tell you)-Willow

Twilightbreeze looked delighted," I would love to! If Quillstar is okay with it. I will go ask him." --Twilightbreeze

Icegaze dipped her head, “thank you,” she meowed before sending her focus on Mosskit and Reedkit. Both had blinked open their eyes and she purred. Frozen kit on the other paw had his eyes already opened and was climbing all over Flakekit and she picked him by the scruff and lay him at her paws for a grooming even though he had short fur.-Icegaze

Twilightbreeze went to Quillstar," Uh...Quillstar? May i ask you a question?" She asked after dipping her head. --Twilightbreeze

Dawnrise peeked her head into the nursery looking at the little bundles of joy. --Dawnrise

Quillstar helped Frostbreeze dress her wound, before the warrior noticed his shoulder wound. "You're hurt." She murmured softly before Quillstar turned to Twilightbreeze before he could respond to Danny. "What's up, Twilightbreeze?" -- Quillstar

Ashbreeze helped her kits along as they observed camp wide-eyed. Leopardkit curiously shuffled along until he tripped over a pebble. -- Ashbreeze

Twilightbreeze shuffled her feet," Icegaze would like me to take over Dewpaw's training while she has her kits. Is that okay with you?" --Twilightbreeze

Twilightbreeze was young, a new warrior, and so the leader wasn't eager to hand her over an apprentice. However, Dewpaw had already established some training under her belt, so having a new warrior complete her training shouldn't hurt. "...Alright. You can finish her training." -- Quillstar

Twilightbreeze dipped her head. "Okay, thank you." --Twilightbreeze

Wasp wrinkled her muzzle. Her feelings were growing over the day, and she couldn't help but wonder... what if she left WillowClan? She slid a glance at Lilacpaw. *Hmm...* A plan was forming in her head. - Wasp

Dawnrise sat next to Ashbreeze "You have such cute kits!" --Dawnrise

Icegaze sighed as she licked Frozenkit. Would anything get better? She would hate to ever leave her kits or even..... have them killed. She shivered at the thought and turned her gaze to the other kits. Maybe she should tell Quillstar the truth about their father. That wouldn’t hurt right?-Icegaze

Dewshine stormed the way back to camp until she spotted a familiar green gaze on her, “oh! I didn’t know you where out here Flameheart!” (now)-Dew

"Uh, you okay Icegaze?" Dawnrise said --Dawnrise

Icegaze quickly looked to dawnrise. “Oh! Well... it’s complicated..... Rainsplash and i where.... great.. great friends.” She resisted the urge to say sister. “And now I have to take care of my kits knowing she’s dead... but, the kits are where all my love is.” She sighed and continued to lick frosenkit.-Ice

Flameheart blinked at the warrior. “Is something wrong?”—Flameheart

"Well if there is any way i can help you just have to ask me." Dawnrise said thinking about having kits herself. "What are your thoughts on having kits."

Icegaze shrugged. Really it was stressful, I never had kits before. But durring it, it did hurt like StarClan raining down on you! But in the end you’ll love it.”-Ice

Dewshine shook her head. “No. Just a mangy rogue on the territory. He took a wren.” She muttered. Looking behind her.-Dew

A spark of green fire burned in her eyes and Flame dug her claws into the ground. “Oh really?”—Flameheart

"Oh. I was thinking of having kits myself." --Dawnrise

“yeah. I swear if he comes back I’ll shred him! He literally tried to twine tails with me and charm at me!” She gagged.-Dew

Icegaze purred. “Oh, maybe when everyone’s doing well again, after all the darkness.” She sighed.-ice

"Yea." Dawn whispered --Dawnrise

“with Shadowhollow I presume? He looks awfully into you. He is staring at you right now....” she muttered shifting her gaze.-Ice

“Oh did he?! What a flirter. He probaly was told that he was ugly and then started to flirt.” Flameheart got on her paws. “Well then I am going to meet him.”—Flameheart

"Wait, what!" Dawnrise said looking outside of the nursery seeing Shadowhollow looking at her but he quickly turned away. --Dawnrise

Ravenclaw slowly approached Forestfire as she was resting in the medicine den. “Forestfire?” The she-cat jerked up and snarled, “What do you want?” Ravenclaw lado his tail gently on her shoulder. “I wanted to apologize. For acting stupid.” Forestfire blinked. “Are you sure you’re ok?” Ravenclaw purred, feeling a little weird. “Of course. Please forgive me.” Forestfire studied him for a while, before nodding and smiling. “You better be good.” Ravenclaw rolled over. “I am very smart and good boy.”—Forestfire and Ravenclaw

Quillstar returned his focus to Frostbreeze, a hint of adoration in his round eyes as he smiled at the small warrior. "I-I feel better now that...you're around." He admitted shyly before he bashfully bowed his broad head, shuffling his blackened paws in WillowClan's soil. -- Quillstar

"Oh- Leopardkit!" Ashbreeze nervously rushed forward to help nose her son back onto his paws, in which he turned and firmly declared, "I am fine!" The little chocolated rosetted tom seemed certain about it, although his lip quivered from the pain and his little nose looked irritated from the face-plant on the hardened earth. -- Ashbreeze & Leopardkit (WC)

Twilightbreeze bounded happily over to Icegaze. "Quillstar said yes! I will go tell Dewpaw." She padded over to Dewpaw," Hello." --Twilightbreeze

​Streakedfur came back from hunting and dropped his prey in the fresh kill pile. --Streakedfur

"Your nose is bleeding." Ashbreeze frowned at her son while Cinderkit moved to the side, glancing over her littermate curiously. Leopardkit's vibrant eyes darted over to his mother and then back to his sister before he protested once more, "...'m fine!" He tried to reassure them once more before removing a droplet of blood from his nose with a quick whipe of his paw. -- Leopardkit (WC)

Icegaze nodded but said nothing as her attention turned back to her kits. Frozen kit wobbled as he started to try and walk. “Oh you silly goose.”-Ice

Dewshine shrugged. “He isn’t on the territory anymore. Chased him off.” She shivered. What a weirdo. “A-anyways. Why’re you out here?”-Dew

Flame narrowed her eyes. “I was thinking.” She flicked her tail. “Why are you out here?”—Flameheart

Cinderkit shuffled forward to sniff her brother curiously, yielding a small purr of affection from Leopardkit. "S'okay, brother." Cinderkit attempted to reassure the dark-furred tom. "...I still think you are brave." Her kitten-blue eyes, now carrying the faintest hint of green, glowed with admiration for her littermate. -- Cinderkit

Dewshine sighed. “I couldn’t take it back at cmap. She can’t be dead. She told us who our father was and we grew distant of her. I wish I couldve done something....” Dewshine shook her head. “I wanted to hunt and clear my mind.”-Dew

Flame remebered how both of her mothers, real and adopted, had died. She dug her claws into the ground and growled, “You aren’t the only one.”—Flameheart

Frostbreeze flushed when Quillstar admitted that he felt better in her presence. "...You do?" She asked awkwardly with a nervous lowering of her head and voice. He nodded slowly before the pair entered a prolonged period of uncomfortable silence. "...This seems a little...off-topic, but I've been meaning to ask you something." Frostbreeze began. -- Frostbreeze

Dewshine sighed. “I know.” She murmured. “have you seen Scorch lately? He seems to be struggling with something.” She meowed.-Dew

Rivergaze growled to herself before padding up to Ravenclaw again. “Sorry, Erm, Anyways. Uh, do you ever wonder about Forestfire?” She brought up her rage.-River

Ripplepool pricked his ears as he brought some herbs for frost breeze. “Uh, bad time?”-Ripple

The spotted warrior flicked her tail at the medicine cat with a small smile. "No, you're fine." She reassured the lynx point before returning her attention to Quillstar. "I mean no offense, but...is it possible to return to my old name, Danita? I accept and love my new life in WillowClan, but I want to hold and cheirsh my roots as well." -- Frostbreeze

Ripplepool purred as he sat and started to sort the herbs. Cobwebs can be here... marigold... and....-Ripple

Jaystripe padded out of camp. - Jaystripe

Ravenclaw looked up from laughing with Forestfire. “Um what do you mean Rivergaze?”— Ravenclaw

Flame shook her head. “No, I have been out lately. What is he struggiling with?” She tilted her head.—Flameheart

Mithfeather looked around for Aspensoul.-Moth

Rivergaze glared swiftly time Forestire then to Ravenclaw. “Do you even care she is letting you kill yourself and others for her of all cats?” -River

Jaystripe glanced back to see Mothfeather looking for Aspensoul, and scowled, before running out of camp, looking around. - Jaystripe

Quillstar didn't know why he had been holding his breath. What was he so nervous about? "Oh, of course, Fr- Danita." The black-and-silver tom corrected himself with a small smile. "It's a beautiful name, after all." -- Quillstar

Wolfshade had been missing from camp, as he had been setting his plan in motion. The Pack would attack, and he would prove himself as WillowClan's savior, and they would have to allow him to be leader. If they didn't listen, well...he would go with his second plan: assist The Pack, and take over WillowClan by force. Simple as that. *Now that they know that we have their precious Dusty, there'll be no stopping them for when the time is right...* The group wasn't ready to attack, but when they were, it would be glorious. -- Wolfshade

((Willow can you rp Dew plz?))-Rowan

Ravenclaw twitched his whiskers. ”She isn’t killing anyone.”— Ravenclaw

“he seems to have been trying to say something and then just ends up turning away or something. I don’t really pay attention.” Dewshine shrugged.-Dew

Rivergaze shrugged. “She let you and barkpelt pretty much kill each other and didn’t care.” -River

Rabbitpaw stared after Wolfshade. He was so charming.-Rabbit

Icegaze licked Mosskit now.-Ice

Flameheart muttered, “I see......”—Flameheart

Ravenclaw shrugged. “You do what you do. And it was Barkpelt and I that were stupid.”—Ravenclaw

Rivergaze shrugged. “I’m just saying she doesn’t love you if she won’t care if you kill each other.” She scowled secretly time her paws. Had he even noticed her at all?! She grumbled as she turned and looked for Wasp.-River

Dewshine sighed. “I think I have an idea of what he *might* say.” She grinned.-Dew

Mosskit curled up against Icegaze’s chest. - Mosskit

Flame narrowed her eyes. “What?” *Was I right to trust him?*—Flameheart

Ravenclaw growled, “Well things changed. I love her.” ”What did you say Ravenclaw?” Ravenclaw blushed. “Nothing.”—Ravenclaw and Forestfire

Icegaze suddenly remember Dawnrise was gazing at her kits. “Oh! Would you like to meet them? I don’t think I’ve introduced them to the clan yet.....” She meowed. Looking to Mosskit she meowed. “This is Mosskit. That’s Frozenkit.” She looked to the silvery tabby tom. “And this is Flakekit and Reedkit.” She flicked her tail to the brown tabby she-kit and the black and white tom.-Icegaze

Frozenkit blinked a little before tumbling down on a pair of huge clumsy paws. Then getting picked up by mom again.-Frozenkit

Rivergaze sneered time herself. “so be it.”-River

“nothing bad I swear! It’s something that might probably make you a bit happier....” Dewshine chuckled. “Just ask him if he was meaning to tell you.”— Dewshine

"Thanks." Leopardkit offered his sister a wide grin before the pair of kittens turned back to Ashbreeze. As Wolfshade walked by, Cinderkit squeaked in terror at the spiked warrior before scuttling underneath her mother to hide. The tan spotted she-kit watched the warrior suspiciously before nervously tucking herself behind her mother's legs. "...I wanna go back into the nursery. Camp is *scary*." -- Cinderkit

Flame twitched the tip of her tail. “What can he say that makes me happy?”—Flameheart

Frozenkit wobbled again before he had a handle on his paws. “L-ook!” He mouthed and used some of his squeakiness,-Frozen

Dewshine chuckled. “You’re gonna have to ask him.” Though.... she wondered if someday she’d have a mate.-Dew

Flame retracted her claws in frustration. “We are no Clan cats. We keep secrets from each other.” She muttered. “Scorchclaw you will pay.”—Flameheart

Dewshine sighed with amusement, “really Flameheart? Believe me. You shouldn’t be so hard on him. It’s a good secret. Gosh, not even a secret. He might have a hard time telling you.” She sighed once more.-Dew

"It'll be alright," Ashbreeze attempted to nudge Cinderkit out from behind her legs, but the kitten had a firm hold on the queen's hock. "I know they're big, but not all the warriors are scary and mean." The queen furrowed her brows out of concern for her daughter's inexplicable fear, but Leopardkit bravely stepped forward to nuzzle his sister. "I promise I will keep you safe, Cindy." -- Ashbreeze & Leopardkit

Icegaze peered out to see the kits. “Oh, that wolfshade. He’s scaring kits!”-Ice

Cinderkit shyly appeared from around her mother's leg, blinking at the brother who promised to have her back. "Forever and ever, Leopardkit? You'll always keep me safe? Promise?" She spoke in a squeaky whisper masked by unspoken fear, but her brother purred along. "Forever and ever, sis. I promise!" -- Leopardkit (WC) & Cinderkit

Flame sighed, “I hope you are right.” *You better be right!* “I am going hunting.”—Flameheart

Scorch’s head whirled. “Flame where are you?”—Scorchclaw

Swiftshadow licked the kits’ head. ”You will be fine.” She glared at Wolfshade.—Swiftshadow

Frozenkit glanced up ta the approaching Ashbreeze and smiled.-Frozen

Dewshine shrugged. “Alright.” She then ran back to camp and ran up to scorch. “You should get flame alone.”-Dew

Danita rose to her paws to go on a hunting trip, but Quillstar, finally finding his courage, jumped to his paws and pursued the spotted warrior. "Danny, wait!" -- Quillstar

Ripplepool flattened his ears as shed left mid way of him finishing the herb placement and sighed. Taking the herbs back to the den. at least she has some of them.-Ripple

Danita paused, glancing over at the leader in surprise. "You, uh...need to let R-Ripplepool finish." Quillstar stumbled over his words because evidently, he had something else in mind. But he was a cat riddled with anxiety, and finding his bravery was a fleeting, difficult task. While the warrior sat there, Quillstar turned back to Ripplepool with round eyes. "I need to ask you for a favor." He spoke in a hushed tone. -- Quillstar

Ripplepool perked up in interest and nodded. “Mhmmm.” He meowed.-Ripple

He could feel his heart racing as his eyes darted over to camp's exit. *Be brave, be brave...* "I need you to...take a *real* long time dressing Danny's wounds. Distract her for me. Please?" -- Quillstar

Scorch pricked his ears as he heard about Flame. “Where is she?!”—Scorchclaw

Dewshine flicked her tail out of camp. “Hunting near the river.”-Dew

Ripplepool chuckled “of course.” And slowly padded to the she-cat and told her. “Wow, these wounds look a little deep. This might take awhile.” He sighed dramatically. Then shrugging and gathering his herbs closer and winking to Quillstar.-Ripple

Scorch dipped his thanks. “Thnaks Dewshine!” He sprinted out of camp.—Scorchclaw

Danita slowly returned to Ripplepool while Quillstar hurried out of camp, earning him a confused glance from the spotted warrior. The hybrid tom moved as swiftly as he could, weaving his way through the forest until he got to his desired destination. -- Quillstar

Dewshind nodded and called after him. “Be careful! She thinks it’s a bad secret!”-Dew

Scorch thought, *Bad? I would never keep something bad from her*! He nodded a greeting to the WillowClan leader before seeing Flame kill a squirrel. *So pretty*. “Flame?”—Scorchclaw

Dewshine shrugged before seeing Ripplepool. He was weird. “Um, hold still....” he muttered.-Dew

"Oh my starclan thoughs are such cute names!" Dawnrise cooed at the kits. --Dawnrise

Flame turned her burning glare at Scorch. “Keeping secrets huh?” She dug her claws into the ground. “Two can play that game.”—Flameheart

Mosskit glanced outside of camp, and his fur bushed out, as he saw warriors and Quillstar walking around and talking. He darted back inside the nursery. - Moss

Icegaze purred. “Mosskit, it’s okay. Quillstar is a good cat. Not a bad cat.” She murured. Frozenkit wobbled and finally started to walk more smoothly now.-Frosen + Ice

Dewpaw would murmer to herself as she went out hunting. -Dewpaw

Mosskit glanced out again at Quillstar, before walking back into the den, less scared. He saw Frozen, and nudged him, tipping his brother over.

Quillstar hurried through the territory until he came across a small meadow of blossoming wildflowers. *Perfect*. He quickly collected a mouthful before he darted out towards the lake. -- Quillstar

Swiftshadow looked around. “Wolf!”—Swiftshadow

Scorch ran over to Flame and pressed his head on her neck. He looked into her eyes. “Wherever you got this nonsense, don’t listen to it. I would never keep secret from you. Ever.” Flame felt Scorch move to her side and press against her. “You sure? Or are you lying?” Scorch mewed, “Positive.”—Flameheart and Scorchclaw

Forestfire nudged Ravenclaw. “Let’s get out of the cave.” Ravenclaw protested, “You need to listen to Ripplepool.” Forestfire purred, “I have been here long enough to be an elder.” Ravenclaw agreed and they padded out.—Ravenclaw and Forestfire

"You're the best brother ever." Cinderkit smiled at her littermate before the duo turned their attention to their mother. "Can we go play in the dens?" -- Cinderkit

Frozenkit caught himself before looking to Leopardkit. He was a bit bigger than him but that’s ok. He mewled a hello.-Frozen

Flame breathed. “I hope you are right.” Scorchclaw mewed, “I am. Trust me.” Flame pressed against him harder. “I do trust you.” Scorchclaw purred, and they sat in comfortable silence.—Flameheart and Scorchclaw

Quillstar continued with his lakeside set up, taking in a deep breath as his heart continued to race. *The sun'll be setting soon, I have to hurry and finish this up.* He reminded himself before he turned to examine his work. -- Quillstar

Ripplepool observed Frostbreeze’s wounds longer than he should but looking interested.-Ripple

Danita blinked at Ripplepool. "If you keep your neck craned like that any longer, it's going to snap into two. Are we almost done?" -- Danita

Scorchclaw rubbed his muzzle under her chin. “Want to keep hunting?” Flame purred agreement, and they padded away.—Flameheart and Scorchclaw

Wolf looked up. “What?” He groaned. - Wolf

Ripplepool shook his head as he then looked to his herbs. “Just have to put these....” he priced away each herb from each and tor the marigold leaves. He really hated this though.-Ripple

"Ripplepool," Danita spoke flatly as she held her gaze on the medicine cat. "...I worked with herbs for several moons when I was a loner, in order to keep myself healthy. You're done." The spotted warrior rose to her paws, so as if to not give Ripplepool a chance to carry it on any longer. "I'm going after Quillstar, I don't like how he was acting. Something's up." -- Danita

Swiftshadow picked up the kit and started to wash him. “Rainsplash won’t be happy to see such a messy kit living like this.” She mewed sternly. “How do expect to be with Flame when you look like a dead loner!”—Swiftshadow

Ripplepool flattened his ears. “If he’s done doing what he’s doing. I’d suggest waiting for him in his den then.” He shrugged he’d done all he could.-Ripple

Scorch crept forward as a vole was nibbling, not noticing him. He leaped, but the mouse had disappeared to red. A ginger cat had the creature in her jaws. “Hey that was mine!” The ginger she-cat purred, “Not anymore slowpoke!” Scorch playfully snarled, “I will show you who is a slowpoke!” He leaped at the ginger cat and they rolled together. They broke apart, gasping and laughing. “Fine you have it Flame.” Flame licked his cheeks. “I think we have enough prey.” Scorch purred, “Unless we want to look like kittypets.” Flame stuck out her tongue and the two young cats raced back to camp.—Flameheart and Scorchclaw

Dewshine peered at the couple. she wondered to herself as she gazed to the nursery if she’ll ever be a mother,-Dew

Scorch mewed, “I will be back. I am going to check on Swiftshadow.” He touched noses and bounded away.—Scorchclaw

Flame watched as he went. She turned to see Dewshine looking at her. She padded up to her and touched noses with her. “Why you looking so funny?”—Flameheart

“oh he didn’t tell you..... never mind then.” Dewshine giggled as she bounded over to the nursery to see the kits.-Dewshine

Sunflower pushed out of the bracken to gather all of her kits up to be ready. They are gonna be apprenticed and yeah, maybe they decided to play in a mud puddle but hey! That never meant they’d be dirty all the time right? “Now I want you to be your best! No mud baths, no bloody lips on prey! I’ll be right back.” She told her kits before she vanished to look for Quillstar.-Sun

Danita twitched her tail. "So you *were* stalling for something." She turned away from Ripplepool to hurry out of camp, curious of what Quillstar was up to. Tasting the air, she decided to follow his scent trail, seeing that the leader was yet to return. *Why did he head off towards the lake?* -- Danita

Flame crept up on Dewshine. “So you do know?” A idea went in her mind, and she grinned. “If you want to be in the nursery you can be mates with that tom.”—Flameheart

"Ashbreeze?" It was Dustypaw, carrying a small bundle of herbs in his mouth as he glanced up at the queen. "You said something about Leopardkit having a bloody nose? Can I take a look at it?" -- Dustypaw

Deashine flinched “what!? I’m sorry, I wouldn’t dream of being mates with Scorch! I thought he was gonna ask you! That’s what I thought he did!” She grinned.-Dew

Flame thought, Being mate’s with Scorch? Hmmmm..... She nudged playfully Dewshine. “I don’t know about that, but if you are dreaming of kits maybe that loner is not a bad choice.”—Flameheart

Danita glanced up at the sky. The sun was beginning to set, and so she was becoming increasingly more concerned about Quillstar being outside of camp by himself, especially since the clan had suffered through a fox attack but hours before. The silver spotted tabby continued towards the lake, noticing a few petals on the ground. *Strange...flowers don't normally grow around here.* -- Danita

Dewshine widened her eyes. “What! My blood has enough mixes! I don’t want to add to the WillowClan, ThornClan mix! And why would I! He thought I was his mate when I never even knew him!” She raised a brow before Frozenkit stumbled again her paws and gazed up at the two she-cats.-Dew

Strangely, Quillstar's scent-trail followed the small path of fallen flower petals, and so the warrior continued to follow it. *What in the name of StarClan is he up to?* Danita slowly pushed her way through the bracken to find Quillstar on the beach, his back towards Danita and eyes resting on the setting sun. -- Danita

Flame rolled her eyes. “Even if Rainsplash didn’t mate with your father, there would still be other Clan blood, like Brambleheart.” She flicked her tail. ”I was joking anyway. And anyways you look like you are wanting a mate.” Flame looked at the kit.—Flameheart

Dewshine shook her head, “no. I just wondered if it’ll ever happen. I don’t want one right now! If anything Ripplepool should get one. He’s so lonely and a bit uncertain of his abilities....” she looked to him as he entered the medicine cats den. “He was hurt the mist in an argument with Rainsplash...” She shook the thought away and looked to Frozenkit who was looking cutely at Flameheart.-Dew

"...So this is why you had Ripplepool stalling for so long." Danita admired the flowers that Quillstar had spread across the shore of the lake, how the slight dew that settled on them gleamed in the golden light of the setting sun. The leader craned his neck to look from over his compact shoulders, sending an adoring grin in the she-cat's direction. "You cheeky tom." Danita purred before stepping forward to seat herself beside Quillstar, completely dwarfed by his impressive height. -- Danita & Quillstar

"I've been meaning to do this for a while, b-but...I'm a total mouseheart." The WillowClan leader admitted, doing his best to not stumble over his words as he stood before the she-cat that had secretly captured his heart. Danita smiled and leaned lovingly into the tom's side. "....But that's why I love you." She murmured before looking up into Quillstar's eyes. "Maybe you do have the heart of a mouse, but your spirit is that of a lion." It had to be wisest thing she'd ever said, but she meant it. It was a message that had come from her heart. -- Danita

Wasp got to her paws, her heart made up, her decision written in stone. She looked around for Quillstar, but didn't see the grizzled tom in camp. She sighed. She catch him if she saw him later. She laid back down. - Wasp

Sunnyshine looked over at Wasp, narrowing her eyes. *What was that sneaky traitor going to do?* - Sunnyshine

Ripplepool cocked his head. “Uh, Quillstar isn’t in cmap.” He meowed as she approached the leaders den. “he’s busy.”-Ripple

Quillstar purred softly at Danita's compliment before he drifted off into silence, watching as the sun set over the lake with his spotted companion by his side. He watched as some of the flower petals drifted out over the lake and out of sight into the aureus light of the sun. Together, they were along, at last...just the two of them. "Danny..." He began, swallowing away his fear and trying to find the inner lion that Danita had been speaking about. "You helped me save my clan, and helped me find my way home...you treat me better than any cat I've ever known. It's like your heart is made of pure honey, you're just so sweet and kind, and gentle...." The leader felt his stomach tense up, and his eyes darted to the ground. "I feel *whole* with you by my side. Will you be by my side forever...as...as my mate?" -- Quillstar

Rivergaze ran up to Wasp. “Okay you slippery eel. Time for training!” She growled.-River

Wasp looked at the mentor. A smart remark tickled her tongue, but she narrowed her eyes. "Okay," she meowed. - Wasp

Danita could tell that it was coming, but she was round-eyed when Quillstar finally managed to ask her. "...Of course I'll be your mate, Quillstar. I wouldn't want to walk by any other cat's side, you're the sweetest tom I've ever known." The spotted tabby purred softly before she allowed herself to nuzzle against the leader's chest, leading Quillstar to lovingly rest his chin on Danita's head. -- Quillstar & Danita

Rivergaze dipped her head and led her apprentice out of camp. “Not like you need any help but until you’re a warrior.”-River

Quillstar and Danita sat in their embrace by the lake for several moments until the she-cat finally broke their silence. "...We can't stay out here forever." *Although I'd love to...* She reminded the tom before cracking open an eye to glance at him. "...We need to return before Moonhigh so that you can pick your deputy. You can't keep them waiting much longer." -- Danita

Flameheart shrugged. “If you say so.” She flicked her ears. “Ripplepool can’t have a mate. He’s a medicine cat.” She pointed out. “I don’t think Scorch wants to be mates with me.” She looked down at Frozenkit. “Hello.”—Flameheart

Stonetooth slipped back into camp once he pulled himself together. The poppy seeds were finally beginning to kick in, making the pain slowly ebb away. *Next time, I'll be ready. I'll make those foxes regret harming my clan.* -- Stonetooth

Frozenkit gave Flameheart a gummy smile as he is just growing his teeth (or are they born with teeth?) he clambered his front paws one one of Flamehearts paws to be taller and play with her.-Frozen

Dewshine sighed as she ebbed away from flame. “I mean, he cares a low about you.” She finished as she padded up to her mother’s body and looked around and saw wolf. “I think it’s time we take her to be buried.”-Dew

Flame watched as Dewshine padded away. “Mhm.“ She smirked at Frozenkit. “What a warrior you will be.”—Flameheart

Frozenkit giggled as he rolled around in front of Flame. -Frozen

Flame playfully cuffed Frozenkit around the ears.—Flameheart

Frozenkit giggled as he dodged her paws like a wobbly newborn.-Frozen

Flame purred. “Silly kitten.”—Flameheart

Frozenkit pricked his ears to his mother’s call and stumbled back into the nursery.-Froze

Dewshine sighed as she then saw Sunflower fussing. “What’s wrong?” She asked. “Quillstar isn’t here and these kits need to be apprenticed. Wolf and Crow included!” She grumbled like an elder. Perhaps she was planning on becoming an elder soon. Dewshine sighed. “I think Ripplepool might know Where he went.”-Dew

Flame watched as Frozenkit scrambled away. “Ok.” She then saw Mothfeather.—Flameheart

Dawnrise looked at Flame thinking *Of all the darkmasters i knew i know her 3rd best. Maybe i should talk to her.* --Dawnrise

Flame felt something in her pelt and turned to see Dawnrise looking at her. She smiled.—Flameheart

Dawnrise looked at Flame confused *usaully Flame was always frowning or growling at her. DID SHE EAT A DEATHBERRY!* --Dawnrise

Flame flicked her tail as she saw worry on Dawnrise.—Flameheart

Dawnrise shuck her self out of her confution "Uh hi Flameheart." Dawn said smiling --Dawnrise
