WillowClan/9

Ripplepool gasped as he saw a kit dangling from Ashbreeze’s jaws. “Dustypaw! We have something urgent!’ He yowled as he tuned to get supplies.—Ripplepool

Rabbitkit finally slipped away from her mother wile they where sleeping and watched this new kit be brought in. “Oh?” She quickly blunted to another side of the medicine cats den and listened from a distance. She didn’t notice that she was outside of camp though.—Rabbitkit

"Here, this, uh, this should help!" Dustypaw tried to sneak the herbs down the apprentice-sized kitten's throat, but the action caused him to vomit. Lucky for Dustypaw, this was the right thing to do. The thick-furred tom gagged up the water and slowly opened his eyes, squinting against the faint light. He had no scent of the clans- he smelled only of river water. -- Dustypaw & ?????

Ripplepool sighed. “Can you speak?” He meowed. —Ripplepool

Dustypaw sniffed him suspiciously. "Ashbreeze found him in a river- he's as big as an apprentice!" The medicine cat apprentice noted before leaning away when the stranger lifted his head. "...This isn't home. Where am I?" -- Dustypaw & ????

Rapidkit peeked out of the nursery, looking for Rabbitkit. She quickly spotted her somewhere outside the medicine cat den. "Hey, Rabbitkit! Whatcha doing out here?" She asked eagerly. - Rapidkit

((is that.............Wolfkit...? //audible gasp)) -- unhelpful hawk

((YES)) - always right whiteout (jk)

"You're in WillowClan!" Dustypaw chirped, although he was admittedly intimidated by the stranger's size. "What's your name?" "Wolfkit." -- Dustypaw & Wolfkit

“I’m watching them...” a Rabbitkit whispered.—Rabbitkit

“Wolfkit.... are you from another clan that gave you the name?”—**Ripplepool**

“oh...” Mapleblaze heard her sister. Fear oozed through her. She wasn’t a good apprentice..... she knew she had been the reason for her mother’s death. And Hazelpaws.... and many other cats of her a Dark Forest mistake. She couldn’t help but turn away before her sister could see her and stalk out of camp. Guiro flowed through her as she angrily lashed her tail. (Could Morning follow her? It might be confession time)—**Mapleblaze**

((AHHHH I believe our imminent demise has just arrived in WillowClan)) -- [un]helpful Hawk

(XD nice)-Willow

Stormstreak padded up. "Who's this?" She nodded at the dark tabby tom-kit. -- Stormstreak

Ripplepool looked to her. “Wolfkit. He says that’s his name.”- Ripplepool

Morningglade spotted her sister leaving camp. She decided to follow her. Making her way up a tree, she carefully stalked above her, hoping to scare her. - Morningglade

Mapleblaze stopped. “What do you want.” She spat. “I know you’re here Morningglade.” She hissed.—**Mapleblaze**

"Oh. Well, hello, Wolfkit. Welcome to WillowClan." -- Stormstreak

Morningglade grumbled and climbed down the tree. "Whatcha doing out here?" She asked, smiling. - Morningglade

“Nothing....” Mapleblaze grumbled. “Just. Uh..... enjoying the day?” An obvious lie.—Mapleblaze

Icegaze flexed her claws as she decided to fish at the river. it reminded her of Mossystone. And how awesome he was.—Icegaze

Muddyfang sniffed Wolfkit curiously before wrinkling his nose in disgust. "Smells like fishwater." The chocolate warrior grumbled before recoiling and raising a brow. "Sure doesn't look like a kit- he's apprentice-sized." He seemed pretty strong, like he'd grow into a big cat...the warrior secretly hoped that he'd get to mentor the furball. "My clan doesn't matter." Wolfkit mumbled under his breath. -- Wolfkit & Muddyfang

Ripplepool raised a brow. “Hmm. Apprentice aged kit? Would Quillstar allow him to join though?”—Ripplepool

Muddyfang snorted. "Do you really think *Quillstar* would cast out some young cat as his first act as leader?" -- Muddyfang

“no Muddyfang, but he belongs to another clan. Right?” He looked to the kit.—Ripplepool

"Well, if they come and get him, then so be it." Muddyfang shrugged carelessly before lapping at his shoulder fur to flatten it. "If not, then we'd be foolish to just throw some kit out. That sure would make whoever's looking for him awfully happy, knowing that we were *so* welcoming to their kit." -- Muddyfang

“Muddyfang, we’ll let him join. It’s Quillstar's choice, though, reason with him. He hasn’t even made a decision at all.” He growled. Though flattened his fur. This time was going to be the death of him.—**Ripplepool**

The rosetted tom raised a brow. A growl? Was this medicine cat trying to pick a fight with him? Because naturally, being that he was Muddyfang, he'd happily oblige. "Reason with him? I don't care if this 'Wolfkit' joins or not- I was simply making a point, considering that I know Quillstar. He won't throw him out." The pointed tom rolled his seafoam eyes before proceeding to exit the medicine cat den. -- Muddyfang

Ripplepool flattened his ears and sighed. “That’s one thing, but him being from another clan is another.” He sorted smfrom another clan we need to take him back, we dont want any trouble with any other clans.” He murmured.—Ripplepool

Icegaze slipped past Muddyfang, a huge fish in her mouth. She placed it in the fresh kill pile.—Icegaze

"I don't want to go back." Wolfkit responded simply in somewhat of a flat and emotionless tone. "I didn't like it there. I'm old enough to live where I choose." -- Wolfkit

Rabbitkit raised a brow. “Hmmm.”

“Well, I guess I’ll tell Quillstar unless Ashbreeze already has.” He murmured. “Watch him Dustypaw.”

Rabbitkit then squeezed through and ran around the den. “Hi! I’m Rabbitkit!” She mewed.—**Rabbitkit & Ripplepool**

Skyshadow stared at the odd kit that had entered camp. *He might be bad trouble.* Skyshadow nodded goodbye to her sister before padding out of camp.--Skyshadow

The smile that Wolfkit flashed Rabbitkit a smile that was clearly forced and fake. "Hi, I'm not interested!" The thick-furred tom responded before turning away from the kitten and narrowing his eyes at Dustypaw. Dustypaw, in response, shivered. He didn't like this Wolfkit guy. -- Wolfkit & Dustypaw

Sunnyshine returned from hunting and dropped a fat vole on the fresh-kill pile. She suddenly spotted a strange kit in camp. She padded over. "Who are you?" she growled. - Sunnyshine

Rabbitkit flattened her ears. “Not interested in what?” She growled. He wanted to play tough guy. “Wanna fight!” She lowered.—Rabbitkit

“Quillstar?” Ripplepool whispered loudly as he padded to the outside of the leaders den.—Ripplepool

"I'm your great uncle, of course! Don't you recognize me?" Wolfkit replied to Sunnyshine sarcastically with an irritable twitch of his ringed tail. *What does a cat have to do around here to get some sleep?* He'd probably regret snapping at everyone later, but for now...it was decently amusing. After all, he was exhausted and therefore that was a good exuse to be cranky. With a small growl and flattening of his ears, Wolfkit curled himself up in the nest, while Dustypaw nervously darted after Ripplepool despite being told to stay. -- Wolfkit & Dustypaw

Quillstar let out a small sigh. Well, at least he got a tiny bit of sleep, and that was much better than nothing. "What's going on?" The grizzled tabby murmured as he raised his head and squinted tiredly through a pair of hazel eyes. -- Quillstar

“Ashbreeze found a kit in the river.... a rather rude one..... Erm, whta should we do with him? Wolfkit says he doesn’t want to return to his clan but do we want conflict with the other clans?” He meowed to his leader.—Ripplepool

"He looks like he could be an apprentice." Dustypaw added in before shuffling his paws nervously, allowing his pale blue gaze to drop to the ground. "...He's scary and mean." -- Dustypaw

Quillstar tipped his head out of curiosity. "It'd be rude of us to deny him entrance- I don't think his birthclan would be pleased to learn that we just kicked the kid out." The tom continued to blink his eyes in an effort to force the sleepiness away as he continued to think. "He'll stay for now. But if he's apprentice-aged, I don't think his birthclan to force him to come home." After all, the kit sounded awfully stubborn. -- Quillstar

Ripplepool sighed. “Right. I guess we can tell him.” Ripplepool yawned.—Ripplepool

The leader paused. "...Maybe let him rest- by the way you and Dustypaw are speaking, it wounds like this Wolfkit is a bit...grouchy. He might be more compliant after he sleeps, less grumpy. Hopefully." -- Quillstar

“hopefully.” Ripplepool sighed.—Ripplepool

Rabbitkit sighed. “Okay, tomorrow we can fight! I need a new partner, Rapidkit always looses.” She sighed.—Rabbitkit

Wolfkit allowed sleep to take its hold, and slowly he passed out. These cats seemed to think that he was an apprentice, eh? Well...that would be just fine with him. The sooner her got to training, the better! He wasn't into any of that dumb "kit stuff" anyways- he had better fish to fry. -- Wolfkit

Rabbitkit returned into the nursery. Dang mom must be tired because she overslept the whole time. Wow.... advantages are open for her to take of her mother’s tiredness.—Rabbitkit

*I guess this means that I should make that kit an apprentice in the meantime...* Quillstar thought to himself as he curled up into a ball, in hopes of falling asleep once more. *Just going to have to find a mentor, that'll be hard. If he's as bitter as everyone makes it seem, nobody's going to want to mentor him.* -- Quillstar

Icegaze peaked into the ,endocrine cats den to take a glimpse of this newcommer. “Awww so cute.” She purred to herself. He was spiky though.—Icegaze

((heck, we'll just skip to dawn)) Quillstar rose in his nest, and was surprised to find himself being approached by Muddyfang. What was that about? Normally the young mocha warrior kept to himself, seldom reaching out unless it was an attempt to snap. "Quillstar, I'd really like to mentor Wolfkit while he's here...I think it would be an opportunity for me to prove myself." Muddyfang meowed, despite his intentions being quite otherwise. -- Muddyfang & Quillstar

Icegaze sighed. Maybe she could prepaid some prey for him when he wakes? She got a new mouse and padded into the medicine cats den. “Something for Wolfkit! Can’t let a kit go Hungry!”—**Icegaze**

Quillstar officially apprenticed Wolfkit to Muddyfang, considering that everyone was saying that the kit appeared to be apprentice-aged. Wolfpaw didn't say anything about his age, either. -- Wolfpaw, Quillstar, Muddyfang

Rabbitkit frowned. “No fair!” And Risingdawn purred. “In a few moons Rabbitkit.”—Rabbitkit

Oakpaw sneered. yay a new apprentice to sleep next to. Ugh.....—Oakpaw

Wolfpaw abruptly turned to Muddyfang, a peculiar gleam in his pale eyes. "Can we start training now? Like...battle training?" It was an odd request, but the warrior was happy to oblige. This was a perfect excuse to start sharpening his old ScarClan battle skills... -- Wolfpaw & Muddyfang

Stormstreak padded out of the medicine den and to the elder's den. "Hey," she greeted Cedar as he pushed his way out. -- Stormstreak

Icegaze looked for something to do and realized. *Oh no!* She ran over to the siamese she-kit. *Mistystar lets her?* She frowned. “Hello. I am Icegaze. What’s your name?” She tried.—**Icegaze**

"Certainly." Muddyfang half-smirked before he turned and motioned for his apprentice to follow. Wolfpaw smiled in response, eager to begin his training, but oblivious to the fact that the moves he was about to learn were strictly forbidden by the moralistic clans. The spiky-furred tom ducked after his mentor and moved at a quickened pace, in hopes of keeping up. -- Wolfpaw & Muddyfang

Mapleblaze flicked her tail with anger. “You shouldn’t be here. I’m fine.” She growled. She had no time her family right now.—Mapleblaze

This time Ripplepool was in the nursery, STILL no sleep, and waiting as Sunflower was awfully quiet as she commended she was about to have her kits. “Feel anything?” He yawned. “Yes...” it came out in almost a howl. “Okay...” he looked to Risingdawn, who took her kits out. “Alright. I’ll get some borage and cobwebs...and....” he padded out to only return quickly as she started to yowl. “Dustypaw? Want to know how to help a queen have kits?” —Ripplepool

Dustypaw looked at his mentor wide-eyed. "...Isn't it really gross?" He whispered in both a hushed and astonished tone of voice. -- Dustypaw

Quillstar leaped down from the meeting place to find himself some breakfast before checking on things to ensure that order was still in place. However, Frostbreeze had caught him first, and looked at the grizzled tom wide-eyed. "Quillstar!" The silver spotted warrior gasped. "You're bleeding!" The leader paused, glancing at his side before nodding slowly. "...Yes. Yes I am. Looks like you snuck a thorn into my nest, Danny." -- Quillstar & Frostbreeze

Ripplepool shrugged. “Well yes but as you get older it’s no biggie. You can watch if you’d like, or check up on the other warriors.” He meowed before turning back with the herbs. Dapplefrost standing outside. “Don’t worry.” Ripplepool reassured him, then helping the she-cat out he gave her the herbs.—Ripplepool

Icegaze studied the kit. Looked like Mistystar almost, but more creamier and dark at the same time, bluer eyes, smaller obviously, more wry and lengthy. slender.—Icegaze

"I guess I could watch." Dustypaw answered shyly, although part of him knew that he would throw up. Nervously, he trotted after his medicine cat mentor. -- Dustypaw

"I'm sorry, I thought I looked through the moss awfully good. Hopefully nobody else woke up with thorns in their nest." Frostbreeze answered with a small frown. Maybe she wasn't cut out for clan life after all? -- Frostbreeze

Ripplepool gently prodded the moss around the she-cats hindquarters as he lay cobwebs and other chewed herbs ready as the firts kit came out he looked to his apprentice and tried to meow louder than the yowling queens commotion. “Could you Lick this one? Just don’t stop til I tell you.” He meowed.—Ripplepool

Ew, ew, gross! He didn't want to lick that...but it seemed urgent, and as if Dustypaw had no other choice. With a disgusted expression, he obeyed his mentor's command. -- Dustypaw

"It's fine," Quillstar laughed nervously. "I'm sure that I rolled a lot in my sleep and collected them all in my fur anyways." -- Quillstar

Ripplepool nodded as he beckoned Dapplefrost for the next tom. And finally one more, Sunflower yowled with pain once again as the last one came out. “Alright, lick like their lives depend on it. Because they do.” Ripplepool commanded as he licked the last she-kit. Sunflower eased as she finally sighed. Everything felt fine. Ripplepool was reminded of his final which made him sound a bit more commanding than he really meant to sound. “Two she-kits and a tom.” He breathed.—Ripplepool

The flame point apprentice still had his tongue hanging out of his mouth, looking as if he was going to vomit. "...Can I please wash my mouth out in the river now?" He practically begged Ripplepool. -- Dustypaw

"Sorry," Frostbreeze attempted to apologize to the tom once more before allowing her gaze to settle on her paws. "Here, I'll show you a better place to find moss." Quillstar offered with a wave of his tail as he left camp, hoping to make Danny feel a bit better. -- Quillstar & Frostbreeze

Ripplepool laughed. “Of course.” He purred. “They seem clean enough.” He took the she-kit from his apprentice and laid it to Sunflowers belly as Dapplefrost put the tom their. “Two she-kits and a tom.” He whispered to the queen. Dapplefrost wiped his tongue with a leaf. “Gross.....” though he stayed as reconsidering following Dustypaw to the river... “Wow, last I remembered that tom over their let out a terrific yowl as he came into the word Sunflower.” He laughed. “Well then, Howlkit.” She meowed licking the scrap of white and chocolate tom. “And as promised. Flowerkit,” she said to the flame point bengal she-kit. “And....” she looked to the last one. “Hmmm....” it was a pretty one, like. Like— “Petalkit.” Born in Newleaf and known for her name, she had a cute pink nose. “Thank you ripplepool.”—Ripplepool, Dapplefrost, Sunflower

Frostbreeze hesitantly padded after the tall form of Quillstar with silent paw steps to where he claimed the good moss was. When they arrived, she couldn't agree more- there wasn't any thorn bushes around this location. "This is where I usually find the best moss. Haven't gotten anything with thorns, at least not yet. Always a good idea to check nonetheless." Quillstar chimed happily as he began to peel up the greenery. The spotted she-cat joined him, working her paws into the soft yet dense moss. -- Quillstar & Frostbreeze

Rainsplasj knew she had to set patrols and Looked around camp for any volunteers..... “Alright...” she kept onto the place Quillstar made announcements, well, the Clanmound after. “Okay.....” she needed to sent about two border patrols. West and east borders, and about two hunting patrols? Didn’t seem so hard.... “Okay! For the Hunting patrols for today I’d like.... hmmm.... Shrewstone to lead a border patrol to remark the western border from SeaClans border, down ThornClans and the Thunderpath border with the clans on that side.” She meowed. “Take Sproutstripe, Sunnyshine and her apprentice Mothpaw, and..... Ashbreeze.” She meowed. Shrewstone grumbled a bit but obeyed and waited for the others to arrive. “And I’d like another border patrol to be set to remark the Eastern border from the other edge of the SeaClan border down from the CaveClan and StormClan border and to the other thunderpath way.” She meowed. “Um, Lynxleap can lead that with Iceday and, Riverstone, is it alright if you join them?” She asked.—Rainsplash

Sproutstripe, Riverstone, and Ashbreeze went to their respective patrols.

The pair were silent for several moments until Quillstar attempted to make some conversation. Perhaps it was the...wrong sort. "...Do you ever miss my half-brother?" The leader asked the silver she-cat subtlety, glancing over at her and noticing that she paused. Hopefully the question hadn't hurt her feelings. -- Quillstar & Frostbreeze

Rainsplash sighed. “And I’ll lead a patrol for one of the two hunting patrols, I’ll take Oakpaw with me with Dewshine and Birdpaw, and Cobaltsky and Branchpaw. A great experience for apprentices.” She meowed as she saw her daughter flick her tail to her apprentice. “And the last hunting patrol will be led by Pepperstorm consisting of Dawnbelly and Rivergaze.” She ended. Geez a lot of patrols wrapped around her mind....—Rainsplash

Birdpaw perked her ears in interest. Her shoulder was still recovering from the run-in with the fox, but she was still enthusiastic to continue her training. -- Birdpaw

"...I do. He was a bit rough around the edges, but I miss his companionship." Frostbreeze admitted quietly as she pushed the moss to the side. "The clan's big, but it's a little...awkward when you're not part of their family." -- Frostbreeze

Dewshine smiled. “Think you’re healed enough to hunt still?” She asked her dutiful ~~aunt~~ apprentice.—**Dewshine**

Dawbelly and Rivergaze followed closely behind Pepperstorm.—**Dawnbelly & Rivergaze**

Shrewstone yawned as the rest of his patrol padded towards him. Many cats indeed. He could prove how great Of a leader he’d be, And finally get the respect he deserved. Mothpaw bounced over—**Shrewstone** **& Mothpaw**

"I do!" Birdpaw meowed honestly as she approached with a wave of her fox-like tail. -- Birdpaw

"I felt the same way when I first joined." Quillstar agreed as he continued to pull up the moss and stack it neatly into a pile. "You'll get used to it after a while, you'll make friends as time goes by. I promise." The grizzled tabby pulled up a final piece of moss before he rose to his paws in a small stretch. "If not, you always got me. Promise." -- Quillstar

Pepperstorm grinned. She was leading an patrol! "Alright." She mewed, turning. "Dawnbelly, you go that way." She flicked her tail to the left. "Rivergaze, this way." She flicked her tail to the right. "Meet back here once you have a decent amount of prey." - Pepperstorm

“Great!” Dewshine smiled. “Let s wait for the others.”—Dewshine

“alright.” Dawnbelly yawned. “Sure.” Rivergaze stalked off triumphantly. She looked more proud of herself than about the prey out here. “Ugh.” Dawnbelly slouched as she walked.—**Dawnbelly & Rivergaze (Morningglade?)**

The silvered warrior smiled softly. "Thanks, Quillstar. That means a lot." Frostbreeze rose to her paws as well and grabbed her pile of moss before the pair returned to camp to restock the moss pile. -- Quillstar & Frostbreeze

Icegaze frowned as the kit didn’t answer quickly turning to see patrols dispersing and Frostbreeze entering camp. Might as well help the she-cat. “Hello Frostbreeze! Need any help with all that moss?” She asked.—**Icegaze**

Morningglade grinned at her sister. "Sooooo. What are you doing out here alone?" - Morningglade

"Oh, no thanks." Frostbreeze responded kindly with a wave of her tail, motioning to the grizzled tabby beside her. "Quillstar already helped me out." -- Frostbreeze & Quillstar

Muddyfang continued to train with Wolfpaw- claws unsheathed, of course. He wanted to strike fear in his apprentice, so he could be prepared for war. War was scary, terrifying even- other warriors just didn't seem to get that. The thick-furred apprentice already had a notch missing from his ear, and his muscles quivered from exhuastion as he spun around to face his mentor once more. He never heard of cats training like this, not *normal* clan cats, anyways. -- Muddyfang & Wolfpaw

Icegaze yawned. “Awww! That’s so nice of him! Rainsplash just sent out patrols. Don’t worry! She didn’t announce them for cats who where outside of camp. So you don’t need to worry about going on em’! anyways, need help with anything else?” She meowed.—Icegaze

Mapleblaze sighed. “I couldn’t help but overhear you saying something about mother being in StarClan. That’s all.” She sighed turning.—Mapleblaze

The apprentice looked ruffled and beaten, but still he was willing to go more. Muddyfang, on the other hand, appeared cool and collected and without any injuries, save for a small scratch on his muzzle. "That's enough for today. We'll finish with a tour of the territory, then you can make your nest back at camp." The rosetted tom decided before turning away with a small nod. -- Muddyfang & Wolfpaw

Mothpaw obeyed her mentor as she crouched low on the trail of a mouse.—Mothpaw

Wolfpaw slowly followed, although he gritted his teeth in the process of dashing after the rosetted tom. Maybe this whole WillowClan wasn't a good idea, if all cats were like Muddyfang. *No. I can take it.* Wolfpaw told himself bitterly as he willed himself forward, forcing his way through the bracken to see the rest of WillowClan's territory. -- Wolfpaw & Muddyfang

Dawnbaelly watched as her apprentice followed her. She wasn’t a great apprentice/kit fan, but it was amusing seeing Lilacpaw’s nose turn pink after being embarrased. She wasn’t what you’d expect a competitive apprentice to be, as she was calmer and respected her mentors wishes. “Can you tell me what you scent?” It was an odd scent, rabbit? Hey on this territory from those BreezeClan goons?—Dawnbelly

Lilacpaw sniffed. "I smell rabbit," she mewed. She sniffed harder. "BreezeClan?" - Lilacpaw

Dawnbelly sighed. “Not the cats. Just the rabbit.... I wonder why it’s over her.” He yawned. “See if you can catch it.” She joked.—Dawnbelly

((Ahhh no, Snow isn't here [Icegaze was looking at Snow] it's Wolfkit- Snow is w/ Minnow and Misty)) - Helpful Hawk

(Oh!)-Willow

Rainsplash crouched beside Oakpaw. Oakpaw mimicked her moves. “Now, I know you’ve been in the clan for a few moons and kind of already seen our ways. But I think you should know more. Like, staying downwind again s prey, or fishing and stuff. I’ll teach ya the goods.” She meowed. “Sure...” he grumbled.—Rainsplash
"We mark the borders regularly with patrols. One goes out to hunt, the other goes to make sure nobody is stepping over into our land." Muddyfang spoke briefly in a disconnected fashion, as if he was expecting Wolfpaw to pick all of it up on the first time. If that was the case, Wolfpaw would do his best. "If anyone sets foot into our territory...chase them off. Make sure they get the message." -- Muddyfang & Wolfpaw

Icegaze yawned. “Um, so, Frostbreeze. Have you ever, like, *liked*, a tom?” She asked out of the blue. She needed advice.—Icegaze

Stormstreak padded up to Quillstar. "Hi... I just wanted to ask- what do you think of Wolfpaw?" She twitched her white-tipped tail and looked at the leader. -- Stormstreak

"Oh, uh," Frostbreeze shifted at the sudden question asked by the white she-cat. "...I had a mate once, but we didn't work out. Sorry, I don't think I'd be of good...assistance." -- Frostbreeze

Quillstar tipped his head to the side thoughtfully. "Well, he seems a little...high strung, but most apprentices are when they're at that age. If he can find a good way to rid himself of that negative energy, I'm sure he could turn out to be a pretty good cat." -- Quillstar

Icegaze gave a nervous laughed. “Sorry for the sudden question, do you have any advice about Like, how to make it work? For, um, my friend? Like, how to exactly know if you liked him?” She asked, hoping no one would ask her.—Icegaze

Lilacpaw suddenly felt a warm thought ripple through her. *What if I caught a rabbit? Would Wolfpaw be impressed?* She shook herself and dropped into a crouch. She dove forward, racing, and leapt up and caught the rabbit in her jaws. She purred. *I'm not going to give it to Wolfpaw, I'll just...put it on the fresh-kill pile.* - Lilacpaw

"Yeah... Ah well. Thanks. I think I'm going to go help Ripplepool." Stormstreak nodded to the salt-and-pepper tom and padded towards the Medicine den. "Hey," the storm-gray elder greeted her former apprentice. -- Stormstreak

Ripplepool sighed. “Hi Stormstreak! Need anything?” He asked. He didn’t feel right ya the moment but tried to sound happy for his former mentor.—Ripplepool

"Naw, I'm good," Stormstreak cocked her head. "Are you alright?" -- Stormstreak

“I’m fine.” He meowed. “I’m just a little disturbed by sunflowers Kitting.... The last queen I helped named Slatepuddle ended up.... not surviving with all of her— Wait! Wolfpaw. He’s, what!” He looked to Stormstreak. “He’s her tom kit, I remember now! He’s Slatepuddle’s son!”—**Ripplepool**

Mapleblaze hissed to herself.—**Mapleblaze**

"...What? So... He's from TundraClan. Interesting. Perhaps we should tell Coldstar...?" -- Stormstreak

“no Stormstreak, he (she?) leads StormClan if I’m not mistaken. I think youre talking about Tundrastar.” He meowed, continuing to order his herbs. Yes she was old and some called her crazy but she might just be misunderstood. “I’ll tell Shadowchaser later.”—Ripplepool

Frostbreeze didn't understand why Icegaze was still barrading her with questions- why not ask a queen, someone with a legitimate mate? "...I don't know, I'm sure if it was meant to be, it'd work itself out somehow." -- Frostbreeze

Wolfpaw continued after Muddyfang with his paws screaming in agony and semi-tattered ear burning from their earlier training. The duo continued across WillowClan's semi-muddy terrain to finish learning about the borders, and what cat lived there. He liked this place- it was hotter for him due to his TundraClan fur, but he liked the sunshine. -- Wolfpaw & Muddyfang

“okay.... yeah, sorry for shooting you with all these questions.” She sighed. “I’m just unsure about these things.” *And how it will ever work...* she ruffled her fur. “Anyways, thanks! Do you need any help with anything?”—Icegaze

Morninglade yawned. "Ya' know. It was around here that fox killed mom..." She cast her gaze downward. - Morningglade

Mapleblaze flattened her ears. “Why did they come to look for Hazelpaw? Why was she so important to cause the whole patrol to come!” She hissed to the sky.—Mapleblaze

Morningglade glanced at her sister, frowning. "I don't see why you don't care! Hazelpaw had so much more to live for, I'm sad she was killed." - Morningglade

Mapleblaze hissed. “Hazelpaw of all cats maybe should’ve gotten out of the way.” She muttered. “I’m so stupid!” She sighed. She didn’t care if Mapleblaze was here. She was to blame of Cola’s death.—Mapleblaze

Morningglade clicked her tongue. "Are you okay? You don't look very well. Maybe you should talk to Ripplepool." - Morningglade

Mapleblaze sighed. “No. I don’t need a medicine cat to solve all my problems.......This is all my fault.” She sighed. Giving in. Speaking her mind.—Mapleblaze

"What's your fault?" Morninggglade asked, cocking her head. - Morningglade

Mapleblaze sighed and lowered her head as she plopped down, her back to her sister. “Mapleblaze. Who do you think killed Hazelpaw?” She grumbled. “who? Just who?” She got on her haunches and turned. “Guess.”—Mapleblaze

"A fox did." Morningglade said matter-of-factly. - Morningglade

Mapleblaze bristled as she stood up. “Wrong.” She spat. She flattened her ears.—Mapleblaze

Morningglade scrambled up. "What do you mean? Did someone lead the fox there?" She gasped. "But who? This is just like a dramatic mystery!" She grinned. - Morningglade

“take a hint Morningglade...I did it. I killed Hazelpaw.” She paused. Raising her chin to her sister—Maple

Morningglade eyes widened. "You, what?" She asked, shakily. Her grin faded. - Morningglade

Cobaltsky looked both ways to make sure no one was watching, and then dashed over to Cardinal. - Cobaltsky

Cardinal who was over the border away from willowClan’s was stalking a mouse. Minding her own business.—Cardinal

Mapleblaze sighed. “I killed her. And....” she paused. “The fox found her and the patrol.”—Mapleblaze

"Cardinal wait!" Cobaltsky called. "I... um... could I meet you here, tomorrow night? You could teach me some fighting moves!" He grinned, blushing furiously. - Cobaltsky

"It wasn't on purpose was it?!" Morningglade gaped. - Morningglade

Cardinal raised a brow. “Um. Okay,” she meowed. “I won’t go easy on you.” She added.—Cardinal

Mapleblaze sighed. “I killed Hazelpaw on purpose. But it was meant for the fox to get rid of the evidence.....”—Mapleblaze

"What did you kill her for?!" She said, shakily. - Morningglade

"Great! See you then!" - Cobaltsky

Juniperpaw looked for Ripplepool. - Juniperpaw

Mapleblaze croaked. “She found out the truth. And she didn’t keep quiet.” She sighed. “I killed them all. The patrol. Her. A few other cats,” she hissed. “I *killed* Cola!”—Mapleblaze

Cardinal rolled her eyes. “Sure.” And padded away—Cardinal

Ripplepool continued sorting herbs.—Ripplepool

Morningglade snarled. "The truth about what?" - Morningglade

Juniperpaw peeked in the medicine den. "Hey Ripplepool!" She grinned apon seeing him. - Juniperpaw

“oh, uh, hi Juniperpaw. Need anything?” He asked. Prodding the herbs away.—Ripplepool

Mapleblaze shook her head. “Nothing.”—Mapleblaze

"Nothing." Juniperpaw said. "Do you need any help?" - Juniperpaw

Morningglade frowned. "I said, the truth about *what*?" - Morningglade

Ripplepool looked around. “Hmmm. Not at the moment. Did you chose? Between being a warrior or a Medicine cat?” He asked.—Ripplepool

Mapleblaze hissed. “I said nothing!”—Mapleblaze

Morningglade flicked her ear. "Whatever then." - Morningglade

"A medicine cat of course!" Juniperpaw said. - Juniperpaw

Ripplepool purred. ‘Well maybe we should go to the Moon Willow. You’re about my age and still not a medicine cat, let alone more trained than I am.” He suggested.—Ripplepool

"Now?!" Juniperpaw asked excitedly. - Juniperpaw

“whenever you’d like. StarClan should give you your Name. Not me.” He purred. She was so pretty.—Ripplepool

"Yes, yes, yes!" She squealed. "Would you be there? At the ceremony?" She blushed slightly. - Juniperpaw

“um, y-you want me to be?” Ripplepool cocked his head.—Rippplepool

"Yes! Would you give me my medicine cat name?" - Juniperpaw

“oh!” Ripplepool was taken back. “Erm, sure. We can go now.” He meowed. “Dustypaw. You’re in charge!” He yowled.—Ripple

"Alright!" Juniperpaw cheered, padding alongside Ripplepool as they exited camp. - Juniperpaw

(main rp.)—Willow

Although the territory was easy on the eyes, Wolfpaw had to admit that all the patrolling with Muddyfang (who definitely wasn't moving at a slow pace) was beginning to wear him down. His paws hurt. *Why does WillowClan have so much stinking territory?!* Big clans needed big territory to feed all the members...maybe WillowClan just needed to...shrink a little bit. -- Muddyfang & Wolfpaw

(true man) Oakpaw groomed himself.-Oakpaw

Riverstone felt as if she had a hole in her heart as she watched Stonepaw from afar. Her younger brother had still confined himself to the apprentice's den since Mistystar had left. In fact, the warrior didn't even think that he helped himself to any breakfast. She was very concerned for him- she had every right to be. Ashbreeze approached the gray-and-white tabby she-cat from the side, raising a brow curiously. -- Ashbreeze, Riverstone, Stonepaw

Wolfpaw felt relieved when Muddyfang lead him back towards camp, but still the apprentice tried to walk with confidence and swagger. He wouldn't let these WillowClan cats think that he was weak. -- Muddyfang & Wolfpaw

Oakpaw raised his brow and wrinkled his snout. “Look who thinks he’s smart after the first day of training.” He spat to Wolfpaw.—Oak

The spiky-furred tom twitched his feathered ear in annoyance. *He'll definitely eat those words some day.*I'll*be the one who makes him eat those words, too.* He couldn't resist a toothy grin, but immediately glanced up at Muddyfang when the mocha warrior began to speak. "Go make your nest. That's all for today." -- Wolfpaw & Muddyfang

Luckily the patrol left without her as she pretended to sleep in. Mothpaw stretched out of her nest and spotted the new apprentice. “Oh?” She muttered. “Hi there. I’m Mothpaw.” She announced. “Welcome to WillowClan.”—Mothpaw

"Mmm." Wolfpaw mumbled as he pushed his way into the apprentice's den to make his nest as soon as possible. He had to step around the mourning Stonepaw to make his way into the back, where he quickly placed his moss before exiting to find something to eat. He noticed that Riverstone sent a seething glare in Muddyfang's direction. In that moment, Wolfpaw remembered the bloody wounds on his ears from their training session. -- Wolfpaw & Muddyfang

“are you okay?” She asked. “Your ears....”—Mothpaw

"Pain is just weakness leaving the body." Wolfpaw commented as he proudly raised his chins. Back in TundraClan, his littermates were probably still fussing over a game of mossball, while he was out in WillowClan, being a real warrior and earning his scars; -- Wolfpaw

Lilacpaw's heart leapt up her throat as she spotted Wolfpaw going out to eat. *Would he see the rabbit I caught?* she thought. She tried not her pace. Her legs felt like jelly. *I hope so!* - Lilacpaw

“oh!” She realized. “That sounds so true!” She grinned. —Mothpaw

The tabby tom grunted in response before he plucked a rabbit from the pile and began to drag it off, only for Muddyfang to call after Wolfpaw. "Training stars again at dawn!" The mocha warrior intended on being relentlessly in training his apprentice. He'd make him the perfect warrior, the strongest out there, with combat knowledge matched by none...then, Muddyfang would have proven himself. -- Wolfpaw & Muddyfang

Lilacpaw saw that Wolfpaw had picked *the* rabbit! *Her* rabbit! She flicked her tail, immensely pleased, but also flattered that Wolfpaw had done the deed, even if he didn't know the backstory behind such a simple piece of prey. Lilacpaw hurried into the apprentice's den before anyone saw her expression. Her sister, Wasppaw stood there, her amber eyes cold. "I saw what Wolfpaw did out there," she meowed icily. "He picked my prey," Lilacpaw replied, feeling nervous. - Lilacpaw & Wasppaw

Wasppaw curled her lip. "I saw." Her amber eyes traveled around the den. "What are you going to do?" Lilacpaw asked. "I wanted to talk to you," her sister replied shortly. "Follow." The tuxedo she-cat led the way out of the den and out of camp, until they arrived into a hollow. Wasppaw turned to Lilacpaw. "I don't trust Wolfpaw," Wasppaw said bluntly. - Wasppaw & Lilacpaw

Oakpaw padded to the fresh kill pile and picked a nice fat sparrow up to take to the queens. Geez apprentices these days don’t care. Once he did that he did the usual elders job and feeding them as he said nothing. He finally grabbed a seat down so he can annoy a mouse of his own catch.—**Oakpaw**

Mothpaw shrugged, *he’s gonna be a warrior before me! Sunnyshine really needs to train me more...* she peeked out of the apprentices den to see Oakpaw enjoying his catch. Maybe he could help. “Hey oakpaw.” She meowed padding up to him. “Yesh?” He grumbled with a mouth of prey, “can we battle train today, well, tonight?” She asked. He flattened his ears and shrugged, “shure.” He spat the bones out. She knew he was one of the apprentices who weren’t known but hey. He looked like a fighter.—**Mothpaw**

Rainsplash padded through the woods. Prey in her mouth and walking as proud as she could. She felt alive again, didn’t have to even look at Skyshadow, could talk to everyone. Heck! She has another apprentice! Stormpaw was excitable, but kind of left. Oakpaw isn’t so excitable but hey. Who was she to judge. She plopped prey in the pile as she turned to see Oakpaw. “Well do more training at dawn.”—**Rainsplash**

Rivergaze took the patrol back for the day as she was tired of this boring stuff.—Rivergaze

Juniperberry padded after Ripplepool as they made their way back to camp, their jaws full of herbs. - Juniperberry

Sunnyshine padded behind Oakpaw. "Mothpaw, sure we can battle train," she mewed. - Sunnyshine

Ripplepool untwined tails with the she-cat as they entered camp. “Alright, I’ll tell Shadowchaser the good news, you can tell Dustypaw.” He purred as he looked around for the salt and peppered leader himself.—Ripple

“oh! Alright! Where to Then!?” She asked.—Mothpaw

"Okay!" Juniperberry purred, bounding up to Dustypaw. "Hey Dustypaw! Guess what?" She paused for dramatic affect. "I'm a medicine cat now! Juniperberry!" - Juniperberry

Oakpaw rolled his eyes. He really didn’t care about training with Mothpaw. Or like, doing anything with anyone. But hey. He did his job.—Oakpaw

Yeah, Ripplepool was tired. Like. REALLY tired, he hadn’t gotten even night of sleep since the journey to BreezeClan. That was awhile ago. He stopped his search for the leader and entered the medicine cats den, passing Juniperberry. “I think I’m going to rest, haven’t gotten a nights of sleep in forever since BreezeClan. So, yeah. You and Dustypaw can watch the clan wile I’m out, okay?” He asked.—Ripplepool

"Follow." Sunnyshine padded out of camp and into a clearing. - Sunnyshine

“ok!” Mothpaw skipped behind her mentor. “Bye Oakpaw!” And traveled into the unknown.—Mothpaw

Sunnyshine mewed, "Mothpaw, attack me." - Sunnyshine

Mothpaw cocked her head. “Um okay.” She leaped on her mentor paws pushed Sunnyshine’s neck and made the she-cat land on the floor. She pinned her mentor.—Mothpaw

Stormstreak shook her head. "Don't you know? Tundrastar was killed. It's Emberstar that leads StormClan- no wait. No. Sorry. You're right. Yeah, alright, I'll do that. Thanks." -- Stormstreak

((Storm's memory is failing!! Well actually that was me... for some reason I thought Tundrastar was dead, LOL)) -- Helpful Hawk

(maybe she almost died but eh, when’ll she tell her children who their mother is?) Ripplepool chuckled. “It’s fine.” And then finally got his moments of sleep.—Ripplepool

"Alrighty!" Juniperberry flicked her tail. - Juniperberry

Ripplepool drowned into a Dream, not death and destruction for once. Love and hope.—Ripple

Rivergaze cast a glance into the medicine cats den. “Congrats Juniperberry.” She muttered. Something wasn’t right. She felt angered. Didnt know why. Why wasn’t anyone crowding around her! How many foxes does she have to catch to get noticed! She rushed into the warriors den and stabbed a thorn deep into her pad. She didn’t even wail in pain. She didn’t feel the pain. She felt anger and rage. Then stomped into the medicine s den again. “Oh the pain! I got a thorn in my paw!” She yowled. Disturbing Ripplepool. “Oh!” He jolted tiredly up.—Rivergaze

(Oof forgot about this rp, lol) - Wolfy

XD)-Willow

Skychaser heard some cat yowling and padded up to the medicine den. "Everything okay?" He asked, frowing. - Skychaser

Ripplepool was so tired. “Everything’s fine.” He yawned. “Just a thorn in Rivergaze’s paw.”-Ripplepool

"Rivergaze! Can't you see Ripplepool seeds rest?!" Juniperberry snapped. "C'mon, I'll get you patched up." - Juniperberry

Sunnyshine scrambled to her paws. "Good," she mewed. "This time, you won't be excepting my moves." She motioned for Mothpaw to attack again. - Sunnyshine

Lilacpaw was shocked. "You don't trust him?" she stammered at Wasppaw. - Lilacpaw

Rivergaze rolled her eyes.

Ripplepool forgot that he wasn’t alone anymore. This’ll need getting used to. He lay back down.—Rivergaze and Ripplepool

Mothpaw pouched again and scuffed her mentors ears.-Mothpaw

Muddyfang watched as Wolfpaw helped himself to a mouthful of prey. *He better get those ears fixed- I can't have my apprentice die from a silly infection.* The mocha-colored warrior thought to himself in an almost detached manner before he turned and wandered off to do Muddyfang things. -- Muddyfang & Wolfpaw

Mapleblaze stormed into camp and had a chance to stop and glare at Muddyfang. *Stupid furball!* And shred her bed, she was so mad. So full of rage.—Mapleblaze

Ripplepool remembered. “Shadowc-Quillstar!’ He ran up to the leader. “I have some great news for you!”-Ripple

Sunnyshine ducked as Mothpaw scraped her ear, dove, and knocked her apprentice's paws from beneath her. - Sunnyshine

Wasppaw bristled. "Yes," she growled. "I don't trust Wolfpaw. He has...an aura of evil around him." - Wasppaw

Blizzardwing strutted across the camp, his tail held high. He felt a prickle of irritation when noticing his daughters, Wasppaw and Lilacpaw, were in the apprentice's den...gossiping. He lashed his tail and stalked into the gloomy room. "The Clan needs prey," he snapped at Wasppaw. The black-and-white she-cat stared coldly back at him. "Fine," Wasppaw snarled after a moment. Lilacpaw ducked her head and followed as they hurried out of camp. Blizzardwing snorted. *Useless apprentices.* He felt a pang of sadness. *If only Iceshard hadn't died.* - Blizzardwing & Lilacpaw & Wasppaw

"I really hope he feels better soon," Riverstone murmured to Ashbreeze as the rosetted warrior settled near her, eyes trained on the apprentice's den where Stonepaw rested. "I know he misses mom, but someday...she won't physically be here to guide us anymore." The gray tabby frowned to herself as she shifted to lay on her other side. Ashbreeze listened somewhat attentively, but seemed to be nodding off. -- Riverstone, Stonepaw, & Ashbreeze

Ripplwpool waited respectively for the leader to respond to his saying of wonderful news. As if anything could've been worse. It just couldn’t get better.-Ripple

"Uh, what's up?" Quillstar found it puzzling that the medicine cat was suddenly exploding with happiness, despite the recent events of losing Mistystar and, of course, much needed sleep. -- Quillstar

Ripplepool yawned, “Well, Juniperpaw has decided to take the path of a medicine cat like before, so she and I had traveled to the moon willow and I’d given her her medicine cat name Juniperberry. And...... what was I going to say..... RIGHT! So, I think I’ve figured something out for Wolfpaw. You see, at the half moon meeting awhile back, Irismoon, you know, deputy of TundraClan camps to us sos suddenly to report a Queen was having kits and Cloudleaf was dead. So now I have to train Glacierpaw, and Dustypaw, but she died at birth baring four kits and I think Wolfkit might be one of those TundraClan kits.”-Ripplepool

"Congratulations on the successful training." Come to think of it, Quillstar had sorta forgotten about the second medicine cat- oops? Then again, the grizzled tabby lived an almost scatterbrained lifestyle, doing this and that for StarClan and never having a moment to catch his breath. "I'm glad to know where Wolfpaw came from, but he's an apprentice now. Unfortunately, we can't force him to go back home, and I think TundraClan would understand that." -- Quillstar

"Congratulations, Juniperberry," Stormstreak called. -- Stormstreak

Ripplepool shook his fur. “I hope your right.” He meowed. He yawned again. “Oh man.... I really need sleep.” He turned. “I’m gonna settle in for the day and sleep all Newleaf.” He joked.-Ripplepool

The black-and-silver leader nodded slowly. "Yeah, you go do that. Just...make sure Dustypaw doesn't eat anything he's not supposed to." Quillstar laughed nervously. It was partially a joke, but at the same time he was being serious. The apprentice's naive nature made the leader want kits of his own, but it also seriously concerned him. He seemed like the type that would eat deathberries simply because they looked appetizing. -- Quillstar

Riverstone shifted beside Ashbreeze, noticing that the she-cat had fallen asleep. *I should see if Stonepaw's up for some training.* -- Riverstone & Ashbreeze

Ripplepool nodded. “Will do.” And looked around for his apprentice, but then felt guilt for not coming to TundraClan sooner....—Ripplepool

Rainsplash scuffed Oakpaws ears, though he slashed claws at her muzzle. “Good.” She meowed, wiping a paw over her bleeding muzzle. “But as your opponent I’m gonna have to getcha back.” And she toppled atop of him As they rolled downhill and to a familiar place. Memories flooded with warmth through her as this was the place Mistystar was attacked by the badger when she was an apprentice. Claw marks on the trees scented staleness and she was thrown off by her apprentice. “Oakpaw, have you been training yourself before you had a mentor?” She asked. He nodded. “Hey, you can’t blame me for not wanting you suffering cats train me.” He muttered. She sighed. “Okay, I think we can go a few more times. and this time sheath you’re claws!”—Rainsplash & Oakpaw

Muddyfang slowly approached Ashbreeze, waking the silver snow warrior with a prod of a dark paw. "Hey, Ashbreeze," he called out to awake the she-cat, causing Riverstone to narrow her eyes and slink off. Muddyfang seemed to be "chronically" angry. If he was up and bothering some cat, it could spell for trouble, problems that Riverstone didn't want to be involved in. Slowly, Ashbreeze rolled onto her side and blinked her crystal eyes rapidly to clear away the sleep before he narrowed her optics at Muddyfang. "What?" -- Riverstone, Ashbreeze, Muddyfang

Rivergaze flattened her ears. That’s it. All she needed to do was eliminate all who were contending against her, everyone who isn’t noticed. She smirked. after juniperberry pulled the thorn and dried the blood she exited camp. Maybe she should start with some decent cat. Though most of the warriors had been related to Ambereye and Swiftshadow. *Ugh*.

Icegaze took some we moss to the elders, “hello? Borage? Sprucefall?” Though she here a silent whisper to her and she came in. “What, what happened to Borage?” She meowed. The she-cat was still sleeping. “She tired?” She frowned. Spruce shook her head. “Y-you mean, sh-she’s dead.” She prayed quietly to Borage’s spirit. “I’ll report to Quillstar.” She meowed. Giving the moss to Brackenleaf and turning to find Quillstar “Quillstar!”

Dawnbelly wanted to take her frustration out on anyone, she was at her sister’s grave. Again, so many times visiting her sister’s resting spot. Wondering if StarClan would approve of her. She ran back to camp. “Wasppaw! We’re battle training! C’mon!” She called but this time it would be fun because claws weren't gonna be sheathed.—**Rivergaze & Icegaze & Dawnbelly**

*StarClan, Mistystar never had so many cats reporting problems to her at once, why me?* Quillstar welcomed responsbility, but everything was beginning to become overwhelming. "What is it?" He was almost hesitant to ask. He was sick of having problems, StarClan needed to pick on someone else- like ThornClan. -- Quillstar

"I need to have a chat with you," Muddyfang finally admitted once Ashbreeze had awakened and slowly rolled onto her dainty paws. Her eyes lit up, because clearly the she-cat loved to chat with everybody. "Outside of camp. It's a private conversation." The mocha tom finished. -- Muddyfang & Ashbreeze

Icegaze looked to him. “Um, I think Borage has joined StarClan, in the elders den Spruce has claimed her to be dead.” She reported. She never really knew Borage, but was willing to set any kind of vigil for her, even if she was once a rogue.—**Icegaze**

Lilacpaw crouched on the ground, sniffing for prey. - Lilacpaw

Dawnbelly looked for Wasppaw. She needed to properly train her apprentice as she’d been trained. Even If it wasn’t in a good place. Mistystar never taught her anything. “Wasppaw! Battle training.” She saw her apprentice.—**Dawnbelly**

"We'll prepare her for vigil, then." Quillstar never knew Borage personally, but he always held a sort of deep respect for the elders. He liked old cats- they were entertaining and typically wise, unless they were in a sour mood. -- Quillstar

Hesitantly, Ashbreeze followed Muddyfang out of camp. The tom had to handle the situation very carefully- one wrong word could completely ruin the plans he had thoroughly thought through for the past couple of moons. "I've only recently remember bits and pieces of my own kithood, now that I've been calming myself down," he was speaking the truth, sort of. The 'calming down' bit wasn't very true. "...You reminded me of a cat, from my clan." -- Muddyfang & Ashbreeze

Morningglade flicked her tail, a growling growing in her throat. She took a deep breath and plastered her usual grin on her face. "I think you should tell Quillstar." She mewed to Mapleblaze, trying to keep her tone even. "If it was an accident, then he won't punish you." - Morningglade

egaze dipped her head. She turned and told Spiderfang and Dapplefrost, who had seemed heartbroken, but understood. They took her body over to the center of camp and Icegaze frowned.—**Icegaze**

Mapleblaze was SO mad. Turning to her sister she hissed. “I will never tell him. Okay, Morningglade? I purposefully killed them.”—**Mapleblaze**

"Why?!" Morningglade yowled. -- Morningglade

Mapleblaze flattened her ears. “Because Hazelpaw intervened.” She hissed. “You really think I never killed her on purpose? She attacked me, I led the fox to her. She found I was with the place of no stars.”—Mapleblaze

Ashbreeze was silent, eyes trained on the dappled tom. She was all ears, at least for now. "I think he was your father- something about your fur reminded me of him, anyways. He was a very brave and 'special' warrior of my clan." He emphasized the fact that her father was no average cat, and this notion caused the warrior to tip her head curiously. "...SeaClan has special warriors?" -- Muddyfang & Ashbreeze

Icegaze dipped her head as cats came out to see what was happening. Yet she never knew Borage but she was only an apprentice with Rainsplash when the she-cat joined.—Icegaze

"SeaClan used to have special warriors, yes. Your father was one of four." It was somewhat of a lie once more, as Muddyfang was actually referring to the Elites in his real birthclan, ScarClan. "Your bloodline is very special." He finished as he continued to walk through the forest, seafoam eyes resting on the horizon rather than Ashbreeze. "So I I was actually SeaClan-born? What was my father's name?" -- Muddyfang & Ashbreeze

Oakpaw flattened his ears. “Okay, I’ve done what you wanted. Now what.” He hissed. He was an apprentice for a long time, maybe he should work harder to be a warrior quicker to get his revenge.—Oakpaw

"I don't remember,' Muddyfang lied with a small shake of his head as he continued to walk onward. "But no, you weren't actually clanborn. Your mother was a loner. I hate to say it, but I think both your parents are dead now, Ashbreeze." -- Muddyfang & Ashbreeze

Mothpaw sighed.-Mothpaw

*I'm sorry, Ashbreeze...you seem nice, but I have a mission. And I need your bloodline in order to complete it.* Muddyfang continued to walk onward as Ashbreeze frowned on, clearly upset that her parents had passed on. "But you and me.." The mocha warrior squinted, as if he was struggling to think. "...We were pretty good friends back in the day, when we were apprentices...very close." He lied in a hushed tone, bowing his head for added affect. "When you disappeared, I was very upset. I couldn't stand SeaClan anymore. So I left to try and find you, but I stumbled across WillowClan instead." -- Muddyfang & Ashbreeze

Wasppaw and Lilacpaw returned to camp with a load of prey, two mice and a vole. They put it on the fresh-kill pile. - Lilacpaw & Wasppaw

Wasppaw, tired, stalked away and dove into the apprentice's den with a grunt. - Wasppaw

Lilacpaw tried to sit with dignity as she watched Wolfpaw gnaw away at her rabbit. To calm her heart, she started eating a mouse a few fox-lengths away from him. She secretly hoped he would say hi. - Lilacpaw

Considering that he secretly *wasn't* 6 moons old, gnawing on the rabbit was somewhat of a task for his still-developing jaw. Regardless, Wolfpaw chewed on his prey furiously because he felt as if he was starving to death. When Lilacpaw settled down nearby, the tom sent her a scathing yet questioning glance. *Why is she so close to me? Is she trying to steal my diinner?* Fat chance of that happening- he wasn't a share-er. -- Wolfpaw

Ashbreeze raised a brow curiously when Muddyfang mentioned them being familiar. "Why didn't you say something before? I- what do you mean*close*, how close was 'close'?" The silver rosetted feline blinked her pastel eyes rapidly, as if struggling to comprehend the informaiton the warrior was handing her. "I don't know, you were just really upset when you lost your parents! Since you couldn't remember, I didn't want to *make* you remember all that bad." He paused. Was this his opportunity? -- Muddyfang & Ashbreeze

Icegaze wished she could see Mossystone. She wanted to train with someone she actually wanted to train with....-Icegaze

It as all lies- cruel, merciless lies that had to be done for the sake of his duty. For the sake of his great revenge. "...We were more than friends as apprentices in SeaClan." Muddyfang lied to Ashbreeze, causing the she-cat's eyes to grow round in shock. She had...liked him? But he was so...prickly. -- Muddyfang & Ashbreeze

Oakpaw hissed as he stalked away from his mentor. “I’m done.” He snapped. She flattened her ears. “What?” But he’d already disappeared. Maybe teamwork wasn’t a good thing for him... she sighed and returned to cmap. —Rainsplash

Flabbergasted, Ashbreeze struggled over her words. "I- do...you don't still have those feelings for me, do you?" She sounded very uncertain, but also as if she was afraid to hurt Muddyfang's feelings if she denied him. The tom felt his stomach grow tense, knotting itself over and over as he prepared himself. "...Yes, I do." He forced yet another lie out, although he felt quite otherwise. Ashbreeze seemed kind enough, but romantic feelings for her? They never existed. But to get his revenge, this was a must. *You're one of the last of the Elites, Ashbreeze...I need you on my side for this.* -- Muddyfang & Ashbreeze

Oakpaw snarled through the forest. He didnt know what surge of rage was flowing through him ina tsunami of anger and memories. He slashed at trees for StarClan’s sake!—Oakpaw

She didn't feel the same way about Muddyfang, but she didn't want to break his heart (despite the tom not truthfully liking her- it was all an act). He was trying to change, and if she rejected him...would it make him evil again? A worse cat once more? Ashbreeze felt her jaw tighten. "...I think I like you too." She, too, had lied. A lie, because he had lied about his feelings as well. What sort of mess was she getting herself into? -- Muddyfang & Ashbreeze

Icegaze lay in her nest.-Ice

*StarClan Ashbreeze, are you really going to be mates with a cat you don't even love, just so you don't...break his heart and make him turn all mean again?* She felt horrible, but knew it was the truth. The air between the pair was awkward, as Ashbreeze sat there and stared at Muddyfang without quite knowing what to say. The tom forced a smile. "I'm glad you feel the same way." He was becoming a talented actor at this point, and slowly turned away from the pale warrior. "...That's all I wanted to say, you can go back to camp now if you'd like." He was really hoping she'd leave. -- Muddyfang & Ashbreeze

Flowerkit opened her eyes.—Flowerkit

"Yeah, uh...I'm going to go continue my nap." The pale feline murmured before she turned and awkwardly staggered back towards camp, carrying her head low in an almost shameful manner. Meanwhile, Muddyfang kept himself outside of camp, drawing in a deep breath as he honed in on his senses, listening, scenting...there was a distant snap of a twig. *Smokestorm.* Muddyfang grinned to himself. *Now, I've had my witness. The Elite is mine.* -- Muddyfang & Smokestorm

(OMG!) Oakpaw stopped as he knew who lept behingd him. Sycamore was back,—Oakpaw

Muddyfang raised his chin proudly, as if daring Smokestorm to challenge him. Not like the gray tabby could see anyways- he was completely blind. But word traveled fast around ScarClan, and there was no denying that the few privelaged cats knew who Ashbreeze was. Even if Smokestorm couldn't see the she-cat, he'd know by scent and the sound of her voice. *They can deny me no longer.* Muddyfang turned his back on Smokestorm, wherever he might have been hiding, and trekked back towards camp. -- Muddyfang & Smokestorm

Oakpaw flattened his ears and turned to snarl. “Whta do you want!” He spat. She hissed. “Intel.” He smirked. “Like I’d ever tell you.” He snarled. She unsheathed her claws. He barked his fangs.-Oakpaw

After finishing his meal, Wolfpaw raised his head to spot his mentor, Muddyfang, returning to camp. He had a sort of strange, resentful gleam in his eyes that the apprentice couldn't quite understand. He curled his spiky-furred tail as he watched the mocha tom disappear into the warrior's den. *One day...* Wolfpaw lowered his gaze as he delved into his thoughts once more. *...I want to be as powerful and confident as my mentor.* -- Muddyfang & Wolfpaw

Oakpaw hissed as he was slashed in the nose. he leaped at her and both ctas toppled downhill. He pinned her and they just kept fighting. Little did he know she wasn’t alone.—Oak

Quillstar was carefully thinking out the next couple of patrols he'd be sending out to the other clans, in order to deliver the herbs. Hmm...who to pick? -- Quillstar

Stormstreak yawned. -- Stormstreak

With all that done and decided, Quillstar finished his final duty for StarClan- **arranging patrols to send out the herbs**. "For SwampClan: Morningglade, Dustypaw, I want you two taking the herbs. Ashbreeze, Pepperstorm, and Branchpaw will lead a patrol to TundraClan. Birdpaw and Juniperberry will go to ThornClan. StormClan's patrol will consist of Muddyfang and Cobaltsky, while Riverstone will go to CaveClan. Lastly, SeaClan...Aspenpaw, Skychaser, and Frostbreeze, you three will take herbs there." -- Quillstar

Jaypaw looked up at Quillstar, feeling envious of the black-colored tom. He also felt envious of all the warriors going out on the patrols. - Jaypaw

Rainsplash sighed. She wasn’t really involved much it’d seemed. She ended up doing Warrior’s bedding and apprentices bedding, and cleaning the camp til it was fresh wile everyone would be out. She got rid of the spider webs and gave em’ to Ripplepool. She paused as Dewshine and her son where talking. “I know it might be hard to talk to her, but c’mon big bro! You totally can do it!” Dewshine purred. Though Rainsplash stepped in. “Oh, Erm, hi, kits.” She meowed. Ripplepool yawned. “Hmm? Oh! Hi Rainsplash.” Ripplepool then buried the herbs he’d been sorting. Now as a family Rainsplash knew this was the right time. “Can we, maybe, you know. All three of us take a walk? Together? Maybe?” Rainsplash shuddered. Dewshine frowned and dipped her head. “Of course.” ripplepool nodded. And the family exited camp and took a walk. Though Rainsplahs was afraid of ther reaction. To the truth.-Rainsplash

Skyshadow padded back into camp and glared at Rainsplash and her kits as they passed. She softened her gaze. *You are doing the right thing. Whatever their reaction will be.* She padded over to her sister.--Skyshadow

Rainsplahs sighed as Skyshadow passed her. *Isn’t she over this? Why was she out of camp anyways? I’ll ask once I get back. If I'm in a good mood....* Dewshine and Ripplepool sat before her. “C-can you tell me what I’ve said about your father.” She started. Ripplepool winced and Rainsplash knew he knew Whta she was gonna tell them. Dewshine meowed. “He was a strong warrior.” She sighed, though was interrupted. “And no one in cmap ever knew him?!” Ripplepool let out a hiss. Rainsplash gulped. “The truth needs to be told. Doesn’t it,” she sighed. Ripplepool flattened his ears. “Your father.... he and I met at the gathering, we started a rivalry, before Ambereye, as a kit decided to um. Leave to KitClan, literally it’s name. So I was sent to find her. B-but, he was too, and we where both warriors at the time. So, he decided to partner up. Despite we where from.... different clans...” she paused as Ripplepool winced and bristled, Dewshine winced. “We found the far clans, ShadowClan, WindClan, ThinderClan, and RiverClan, and..... well, I was wounded and we found WindClan to help.little did we know that we had feelings for each other, and we returned once we couldn’t find the kits. Though, I was expecting his kits before a raid in camp started.... I, was forced to kill him.” Ripplepool hissed. “Who was he to you if you killed him then!” He bristled. She frowned. “He was Hawktalon of ThornClan. Born to Thornstar, with his brother Brambleheart. And you are his half clan kits.”—Rainsplash

Riverstone tried to do her best to convince Stonepaw to go out and train, and eat at least a little something as well. It took several attempts, but she finally managed to drag her mourning younger brother from the apprentice's den. -- Riverstone

Ripplepool hissed. “Why? Why would you kill him and not tell us who he was! We should’ve known you never liked him!” He couldn’t piece it together, he was half ThornClan? descendant of Thornstar! And a rogue! He flattened his ears and turned around. “Don’t ever talk to me again Rainsplash. If you know what’s good for you.” He spat, “wait! Ripplepool!” and he raced back to cmap and took his anger on his moss nest. He should’ve known.- Ripplepool

Frostbreeze noticed that Ashbreeze seemed strangely quiet. The former loner herself wasn't particularly eager to return to SeaClan, considering that she might see Salmontooth, but Ashbreeze had no reason to be upset. "What's wrong, Ashbreeze? You're awfully quiet today." -- Frostbreeze

Skyshadow felt sorrow grow in her stomach. She looked at Rainsplash. *You did the right thing. It is time they should know.* She flicked her tail to show she would talk and padded to the fresh kill pile.--Skyshadow

Dewshine was silent and frowned. She dashed after Ripplepool. Rainsplash sobbed. silent and full of sorrow. She looked to her paws and let her eyes rid of tears. “Hawktalon. I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m so alone.” She cried. She wiped her eyes and slowly padded into camp. Ears drooping and Tail dragging on the ground. She slouched as she watched camp from the clanmound.—Rainsplash

*Two moons later...*

He was adjusting to leadership, at least at a decent pace. Quillstar still struggled with speaking in front of crowds, but he slowly found himself getting better at it. Not to mention, he thought that his naming-skills were pretty great. He really hoped the newest warriors would like their new names. Through grief and support, Stonepaw had managed to complete his warrior assessment, even if his bum leg tried to slow him down. "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 warriors in their turn" He paused to glance down at the three eager faces that belonged to apprentices that had been apprenticed for far too long. "Stonepaw, Aspenpaw, and Birdpaw, 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. Stonepaw, from this moment you will be known as Stonetooth. Aspenpaw, you shall answer to Aspensoul. Lastly, Birdpaw, you will be called Birdsong. StarClan honors your dedication and patience, and we welcome you as full warriors of WillowClan." -- Quillstar

Ashbreeze was watching the ceremony and shifting rather uncomfortably for some reason, while Wolfpaw was gobbling down prey. Feeding the young apprentice was quite the task- already he had practically doubled in size, with a thicker coat, more scars from training with Muddyfang, and a set of powerful shoulders. He wasn't the greatest hunter, but he was capable of beating the stuffing out of quite a few cats, no doubt. -- Ashbreeze & Wolfpaw

Rainsplash tried so hard to be happy for the young new warriors. But..... for two moons now she hadn’t heard from her kits and had to live with too much guilt, loss, and loneliness, she didn’t understand. She padded to the fresh-kill pile and grabbed a mouse.-Rainsplash

Skyshadow congratulated the new cats grimly. She saw out of the corner of her eyes that Rainsplash was away from her kits. *Hmm they still haven't seen what she did was right*. She padded over to Rainsplash and asked, "Listen, I know we have had......problems, but I see you need some help Rainsplash." She laid her tail on the deputy's shoulder. "That is only if you let me."--Skyshadow

Frostbreeze came up along Ashbreeze's side, concern visible on the silver-and-black spotted warrior's face. "Hey, Ashbreeze, you feeling alright? I heard from Riverstone that you've been getting sick in the morning. Maybe you should...uh..." Well, Frostbreeze didn't want to be offensive, but she didn't quite know how to word it. "...Ease up on the prey a lil bit?" -- Frostbreeze & Ashbreeze

Rainsplash flattened her ears. “What could you, Skyshadow. Of all cats do to help me! All you’ve done it’s try and go against me.” She spat. Slouching deeper.-Rain

Ashbreeze look offended and hurt at the comment, angling her ears back awkwardly. "What do you mean 'ease up on the prey'? Are you calling me fat?" The rosetted she-cat grumbled in response to Danny in a dry manner before glancing elsewhere to mumble something under her breath. "No! It's just that you've been...eating more. A *lot* more. Like, you're starting to put Wolfpaw to shame." -- Frostbreeze & Ashbreeze

Skyshadow rolled her eyes. "Stop being such a kit! You may have your kits angry at you, but I *lost* mine! And you were part of that." Skyshadow flicked her tail. "I wanted to talk, but if you are going to be like that then be it. I only tried to help."--Skyshadow

Ripplepool was quickly pushing herbs into their places, still fresturated he accidentally shredded some of them, mostly the dandelions. So he exited the den and caught Rainsplash’s eyes. He hissed to himself before flattening his ears and continued out of camp.—Ripple

Rainsplash sighed. “Oh I’m the kit? I’m pretty sure I’m not the one who blamed everyone for losing Flamepaw. She brought the exile on herself.” She buried her prey as Ripplepool passed and let out an innocent grunt.—Rainsplash

With the warrior ceremony done and over with, Muddyfang turned to leave camp. More and more often, the tom seemed to be disappearing for prolonged periods of time over the past two moons, sometimes for almost an entire day at a time. However, he always made time to train Wolfpaw- hard. He was relentless towards the spiky-furred apprentice, constantly laying into him and holding nothing back when battle-training. When Muddyfang left camp this time, he didn't invite Wolfpaw along. He walked along independently with quiet yet confident steps towards the border, where he was finally ambushed by a blur of gray. The two scrapped for a bit, until finally Smokestorm and Muddyfang split apart to face each other.

"I know you've been following me- I may be blind, but I'm not deaf." Smokestorm spat at the mocha-colored tom, curling his lip in the process. "Whatever happened to you being done with ScarClan's business, huh?" The gray tabby sat back to force his fur flat, taking up that typical confident demeanor that got underneath Muddyfang's skin. Ugh, stupid Smokestorm...

"You *made* it my business, Smokestorm. I ran away as an apprentice to start over, to have my own happy life and *change* myself. But you turned me into a monster. You tried to take everything away from me." The WillowClan warrior, on the otherhand, refused to let his guard down. Curse Smokestorm for acting so comfortable in his presence! *And now...I'm going to take your whole world away from you, Smokestorm.*

"Whatever, Muddyfang. All I did was threaten you, make you uncomfortable. I haven't ruined your life...-" Smokestorm paused as he began to disappear out of WillowClan's territory once more. "...Yet." -- Smokestorm & Muddyfang

Skyshadow flicked her tail. "Whatever you say Rainsplash. I just wanted to help."--Skyshadow

Wolfpaw had been stuffing his face into prey for what felt like an eternity, and finally noticed that his mentor had vanished once more. *I better go find him...he's not skipping out on training today- I'm confident that I'll crush him this time.* The apprentice rubbed the remains of his prey from his face before darting out of camp, attempting to follow Muddyfang's scent trail, only to end up following...someone else. -- Wolfpaw

The air around Ashbreeze seemed to change once more, towards something more paranoid and skittish. It wasn't like her. "I-It's like you're trying to secretly imply something else here, Danny. I'm fine, I'm just the normal warrior that I've always been, honest." The snowy she-cat spluttered awkwardly while shuffling her paws around in the dirt, head bowed. Danny couldn't help but to cock her head curiously. Something was definitely up, but she wasn't certain if prodding Ashbreeze was the right thing to do. She'd been around Muddyfang an awfully lot...she didn't like it. Not one bit. -- Frostbreeze & Ashbreeze

Rainsplash hissed. “I don’t need any help from you of all cats.” She barked as she turned and padded to her nest. She was definitely cursed. Now her kits where suffering.—Rainsplash

Ripplepool padded into camp. Not caring as he pushed by Skyshadow in almost a hurry as he sorted the dandelion.-Ripplepool

Dewshine was speachless.-Dewshine

Skyshadow thought, *If you didn't need help Rainsplash you wouldn't have a mate nor be despressed*. Skyshadow galred after Ripplepool. *Deal with it kid. It would have come out sooner or later.*--Skyshadow

Rainsplash couldn't sleep so she decided to leave camp. And mark the borders. Alone.-Rainsplasj

Muddyfang trotted back to camp, mumbling a few curses under his breath before he settled down in the warrior's den. After several moments in the dark, he paused and realized that Wolfpaw was missing. Had he...attempted to follow him? *Ugh, stupid furball...now I have to go back out there and find him.* -- Muddyfang

Skyshadow blinked her eyes from her troubled dreams. She quietly slipled out of camp and headed into the forest. She looked up at the shining stars. She padded forward and trough a bush. Before she padded out she scented a scent. Rainsplash.--Skyshadow

Rainsplash sighed as she padded slowly through the forest along the ThornClan border. Marking each and every tree, scratching the, like a Kittypet scratching post.-Rain

Skyshadow saw Rainsplash heading to the WillowClan border. She shrugged and started at the forest ahead of her.--Skyshadow

Rainsplash looked across the river to ThornClan’s territory. She wondered if anyone knew about Hawktalon. And her. And where Mistystar went.-Rain

It took a while, but Muddyfang finally found his large apprentice crossing back into WillowClan's territory. The mocha spotted tom narrowed his seafoam visionaries sharply in an accusing manner. "Wolfpaw! What were you doing?" -- Wolfpaw & Muddyfang

Icegaze sneezed.—Icegaze

He had tried to follow him, hadn't he? *You're playing a dangerous game, Wolfpaw...* Muddyfang thought to himself as he turned and lead the apprentice back to camp. -- Wolfpaw & Muddyfang

"I'm just concerned, is all." Danny frowned at the strangely-sensitive Ashbreeze, raising a paw to pull a bur out of her silvered fur. "Maybe you should visit the medicine cat den?" -- Ashbreeze & Frostbreeze

Ripplepool had enough worries. He was half clan, not even, a rogue and ThornClan, and he has to train two apprentices. And his mother lied to him....-Ripple

"...WillowClan is weak, anyways. They just pass up all the opportunities they're given." Wolfpaw had mumbled underneath his breath as he padded along, causing Muddyfang to narrow his sharp gaze and turn to face his apprentice. Wolfpaw was unbothered, and ended up raising his chin. "You've told me so yourself! We've got numbers- we should do something before the other clans grow." The apprentice's eyes seemed to glow in a wickedly ambitious way. Muddyfang had rubbed off on him...and all in the wrong way. "One day, *I'll* lead WillowClan, and I'll smite the other clans and unite the land as one powerful unit. And they'll all be under my control." -- Wolfpaw

*So he*has*been following me...* Muddyfang couldn't resist rolling his eyes. "In your dreams, furball. You can hardly defend yourself against me in combat." The pointed warrior remarked dryly before turning and continuing back to camp. *Wolfpaw's going to spoil it all...I need to set my plan into motion.* Behind him, Wolfpaw was starting to boil over from rage- he could tolerate it no longer.-- Muddyfang

(Wolfpaw: Tigerstar4) Dewshine. The happy, lovable. Dewshine. She lay in her nest, curled tightly, in a nightmare of sorts. She wished she could be normal... *but being half clan cat doesn’t determine who you are right? It’s your loyalty, and where it lays.*—Dewshine

Stormstreak padded up to Rainsplash. "Hey," her daughter turned around. -- Stormstreak

Rainsplash flattened her ears. “Whta do you want from me Stormstreak.” She perked up. She really wanted to just hiss everything to the respective former Medicine cat but kept quiet and sighed.-Rain

"Oh... Do you want company?" -- Stormstreak

Rainsplash sighed. “I don’t know anymore. Stormstreak, has Ripplepool said anything about me to you? Or Dewshine?” She asked. Though knew it was a little foolish.-Rainsplash

"No. Why do you ask?" Stormstreak's gray pelt was heavy with guilt. *Maybe I should tell her...* -- Stormstreak

Rainsplash sighed. “I told them a horrible truth that cannot be mended about their father.” She muttered. Talking a deep breath. “And I think they hate me for killing him.”—Rainsplash

"O-oh... Well- um," Stormstreak opened her mouth, ready to reveal the horrible truth about Rainsplash's own parentage, but closed it again, thinking. "Um, Rainsplash. I have to tell you something..." -- Stormstreak

Rainsplash turned to her. “Okay....?” *Stormstreak looks serious*...—Rain

Skyshadow pricked her ears as she heard Rainsplash and Stormstreak talking. She was hidden so they could NOT see her nor smell her. *This should be good..--*Skyshadow

Rainsplash was lost in thought though she didn’t pay attention. *I hope Ripplepool can forgive me, he’s suffered.... because of me, since kithood actually, and now.... medicine cats are A lot to handle right?*-**—Rain**

Stormstreak looked around, her old warrior instincts prickling. THe gray she-cat had, in fact, trained as a warrior in ThunderClan, before her sister, Willowstar, had decided to move away with the other founders of the current Clans, who were warriors and Far Clan members then. "Is someone there? Oh. Skyshadow. If you're spying on us, you should have rolled in ferns... I can't see you, but I can smell you." *But you already know, don't you... I knew Mistystar shouldn't have trusted you... You betrayed me after your murderer friend convinced you she was innocent and ran off.* "Well... Um. Rainsplash. About parentage... How do I phrase this..." -- Stormstreak

Skyshadow stood up from where she was sitting and padded over to the cats. “I was actually just sitting and watching the territory. But yeah if you are going to talk, maybe not yowl it out.” She smirked at Stormstreak and dipped her head. “Let me go far away so you can give that secret of yours out. About time Stormstreak.” She twitched her whiskers and padded away.*--*Skyshadow

"Hm... Off you go. revealing secret cross-Clan relationships and half-Clan kit parentage is my job, I suppose," Stormstreak remarked dryly. *Humor... I never was good at it. Oh well. Best to be blunt here.* "I'll just be frank. I'm your mother, Rainsplash. Oakbranch, a deceased SeaClan tom, was your father. Your sisters are Twilightpaw- I don't know if she's still called that-, Birdsong, and Icegaze. I should have told you before, I'm sorry." Stormstreak braced herself for a toxic response. *This won't go down well...* -- Stormstreak

Skyshadow pricked her ears as she heard Stormstreak reveal the secret. Oooooooo.*--*Skyshadow

(("Oooooooo". RowanSpark, you just won the best roleplayer of the week)) -- Hawk

Rainsplash was silent. She, she was, “h-how....” she froze. She didn’t know what to say. “But, how?” All she thought of was, how do medicine cats deliver kits? She was part SeaClan!? She’s a descendant if willowstar! Why now? Was this anger or confusion. “This is a lot....” this must be how my kits feel, bot worse because I killed him.—Rain

Once Wolfpaw and Muddyfang were back into camp, Wolfpaw ran himself into his mentor's shoulder. "I am, too, good enough!" He snapped at the warrior, who suddenly looked surprised to have his apprentice turn on him. "At least I'm not a liar- you don't fight like a SeaClan cat!" -- Wolfpaw & Muddyfang

Icegaze shifted her gaze to the quarreling mentor and apprentice. What was Wolfpaw doing? She flattened her ears.-Icegaze

*Now's the time, I suppose.* "No. I never was from SeaClan." Muddyfang spoke in a dark tone, although he didn't bother to lower his tone. Ashbreeze would have to learn the truth, after all, in addition to his clan. "I am a merc from ScarClan, sent to receive information on WillowClan to bring it to its demise. I am the clan's shadow, their angel of death and doom." The warrior slowly stepped forward to lean into Wolfpaw, forcing the apprentice to back off with a sharp hiss. "And you *are* unworthy, Wolfpaw. You are a coward hiding underneath a pile of fur, with ambitions that are nothing more than an act to pitifully beg for the respect and attention you crave. Spineless creatures like you wouldn't even last a day in ScarClan." With that, Muddyfang fled from WillowClan, leaving Wolfpaw with a grim expression. It had been the warrior's hope that Wolfpaw would follow, rise up to the challenge, but...instead, Wolfpaw stayed in camp. He did not follow Muddyfang. -- Muddyfang & Wolfpaw

Icegaze gasped. “Wh, what!?”

Mothoaw flattened her ears. “He was a spy? Wolfpaw wants to be with ScarClan?” She frowned, where clans this bad? Or just this one? She saw Oakpaw return after Muddyfang with scratches and blood soaked fur. He looked around. “Hmmm.“ he flattened his ears and headed to Ripplepool.—Oak & Moth

((That was all Muddyfang, Wolfpaw didn't say anything))

(oh, well he mentioned Wolf being in ScarClan))

((No...? What he's saying is that weak cats wouldn't last in ScarClan. He's making a metaphor))

((ahhhhhh XD oops)

Quillstar drew in a deep breath at the scene. All along, Muddyfang had been a traitor to WillowClan? The leader had seen growth in the tom, had watched as he grew up into a formidable warrior and did his best to shake his grumpy attitude...he even allowed the warrior to get close to Ashbreeze, Quillstar's first and only apprentice. "From this day forward, Muddyfang is a traitor to WillowClan." The leader announced, although there was a hint of distress in his voice. "If he is caught on the border, he is to be chased out immediately." -- Quillstar

Mapleblaze barked a laughed. “With pleasure!” She yowled. She finally could get her wya if she tried.- Maple

Oakpaw nodded. At least he wasn’t rated out, he too was on the mission, though, it was from his mother. And he had to accept.—Oak

As the scene of Muddyfang's explosion broke out, and Quillstar began to address the clan, Ashbreeze looked at her paws in shock. The ground felt as if it vanished beneath her paws, as if the world that surrounded her had suddenly collapsed. "I remember now..." She whispered to herself with a look of horror, and suddenly, everything made sense. Oh...why had StarClan been so cruel to her? "...It was all fake...all just for this..." *But why? What is Muddyfang planning? Why does he need...?* -- Ashbreeze

Icegaze flattened her ears and frowned. Is the clan being torn form the inside out? What if there are more spies!-Icegaze

"Ashbreeze? What's wrong?" Danny glanced over at the stunned snowy rosetted warrior. Slowly, Ashbreeze drew in a deep breath, speaking in a low and confounded tone. "...Danny...I-I'm expecting Muddyfang's kits. I...I'm a scandal...I don't know what to do- please don't tell anyone. The kits...they're in grave danger." -- Ashbreeze

Forestfire strexhed herself, her muscles showing. She pricked her ears as she heard the news about Muddyfang. *Oooo another cat to kill? I hope I find him firs*t. Forestfire was a rogue that had recently become a warriors. She was trained by Spiderfang. She jsually stayed to herself, only watching the drama with delight. *Quillstar just made everything better*.--Forestfire

 Ravenclaw narrowed his eyes at the newest news. He was a loner that joined as an apprentice trained by Spiderfang. He recently become a warrior. Ravenclaw glanced at Forestfire. He trained with the she-cat and grew feelings for her. He knew that she liked toughness and tried to be with her. But he had just acted stupid and caused war. He regretted it and tried to fix it, but Forestfire clawed him. He smiled at Forestfire, only to shrink away as she snarled at him. *Stupid me*.--Ravenclaw

"I'm so sorry... I made a grave mistake. I loved Oakbranch, but I should never have broken the code for him... Can- can you tell your sisters, Rainsplash?" Stormstreak lowered her ash-gray tail. Wait- what *was* that sound? The former medicine cat's head shot up, gray ears pricked. "Can you hear that? Rainsplash, I think we need to get back to camp- quick." -- Stormstreak

Barkpelt felt a spark of hope when he saw Forestfire snarl at Ravenclaw. He approached Forestfire. "Hello," the thin tom mewed. - Barkpelt

Forestfire glared at Ravenclaw before turning to Barkpelt. "Um hi? May I help you?"--Forestfire

Barkpelt scuffled his paws in the dirt. "Do you want to go hunt with me?" - Barkpelt
