xxxxxA simple mistake in one’s step sounds like something so small, something of such insignificance that even the most mischievous kit would overlook it; and it is. Of course, that would only apply to those that aren’t of much significance themselves. A mere kit can make as many mistakes as it desires, while a leader of a large group can’t afford to put one whisker out of line. But why is that? Can we not stand the fact that our leader is just like us? I’ve tried to overlook this, but even I can’t shake this feeling from my fur. What is it that casts this thought upon us, that makes us think a leader could never make as many mistakes as a kit? While I can’t understand this feeling, nor stop it, I have made efforts in doing so. There could not be a time I have regretted my efforts any more than I do as of now.
xxxxxMe and Swiftstar, who is the leader of the clan, were having a casual chat as we made our way down a path with low growing grass. We were technically on a small border patrol, though I didn’t think of it that way. In my mind, I was trying to chase down that feeling of no mistakes and squash it. Swiftstar was just a normal cat like me. And so, we walked down to the small pond.
xxxxxThe pond sparked my interest. I thought, maybe, we could try learning how to fish. It couldn’t be too deep, I had reasoned with myself. When I spoke these thoughts aloud to the leader, she nodded. We then walked down to the water’s edge. However, we both knew something was off. The pond was eerily still, not a single fish leaping into the air to then dive back down under the cover of the water. That was when Swiftstar saw it. I, however, did not catch even a glimpse of it. She backed away from the pond a few steps, then suggested we leave. I disagreed, insisting that there could still be fish.
xxxxxIt was silent for a long moment between then and the time I could hear water moving behind me: when I had heard it, I thought I was beyond saving. It was too late, when the creature dashed out of the water. My leader screeched an order for me to run, yet I couldn’t. I was frozen with fear. Then, the creature dragged me by my leg into the cold pond water. I didn’t think I’d ever breathe again, nor see the sun rise one last time. But then, she moved. She leapt at the creature, her short and well-groomed coat slamming into the water as she dived under. My vision was foggy, though I could tell Swiftstar was no better at swimming than me. So, what was it? That disappointment?

I lower my head with shame upon sight of my leader, now. Curiosity did kill the cat, on the inside.

Prompt;; He was walking in the woods and a redwood sapling fell on him. Luckily, Cloudstar freed him and helped him get better.


As Oaktooth was hunting, he saw a twoleg holding a shiny woodcut thing. He used to live in the treecut place, but he moved into CloudClan. He watched. The twoleg put the woodcut into a tree. It was a pine, and it fell to the ground. Then another twoleg was behind him! He looked at it. It hit the large sapling of a redwood. Leaves fell. The twolegs called to eachother. One hit. Two hits. Three- and BAM! It was on him! The twolegs tied something around the two trees without seeing him and drove off. Cloudstar ran over to Oaktooth. "Oh no!" After a long day of pulling, Oaktooth managed to wriggle free. He still has a scar on his back though.

heart racing, she gasped for breath as her paws pounded into the snow, causing her to have to scamper through the thick snow instead of run.

a coup had begun in the clan. an attempt to overthrow toadstar and his deputy, blueclaw. she'd watched from the medicine cat den as one of the warriors siltwing had lunged at the deputy. she'd watched warriors fight warriors. she'd watched as her mentor had joined in the fray, trying to rip siltwing off of blueclaw.

"you need to find toadstar," her mentor had said before jumping in. "you need to warn him."

flamepaw had never been outside of camp. the rule was that apprentices weren't allowed in the territory alone. but given a direct order from her superior likely cancelled out that rule. she took no time sneaking out of camp and into the dense, snowy forest, where the sounds of conflict quieted behind her, replaced by the sounds of birds in the trees, and squirrels bustling in the bushes.

she felt her legs give out, and she stumbled into the snow, but forced herself up with her claws unsheathed to continue onward to find her leader, who was somewhere by the frozen lake. she knew that much.

she knew she was approaching it as the trees cleared out around. there was silence, and she slowed her running into trotting, then pushed through the bushes into the clearing. instead of finding one cat, however, she found two, and a sight she wish she'd never seen. a white tom held toadstar's neck, and flamepaw recognized him immediately as adderfang, siltwing's mate and obvious partner in crime.

"stop!" flamepaw yowled, and the white tom dropped toadstar's neck, dropping the limp but barely breathing tabby leader. a smile curled on his lips, sending a shudder down flamepaw's spine. adderfang approached her with his tail twitching.

and there she realized she was standing and staring death straight in the face as an apprentice.

Rank;; Warrior

Prompt;; "No, Raiza. Go home. Now." The sky was turning dark. Soon, there would not be enough light out for hunting and the kits would go hungry.

Alika watched as Raiza muttered to herself. "You can't go now," she said finally. "It's been snowing all night. If you leave, you could get trapped in the blizzard."

Alika growled. "I don't care. The food stores have been depleted. I don't care about what could happen; I care about what will. Like you said, there's a blizzard. That means that if I don't get food now, the snow will be too deep for us to find food in the morning. Our clan cannot go another day without food, not this winter."

"Then I'm going with you."

"Raiza. I said no. Go back home." He gave her the most intimidating glare he could muster right now and Raiza growled to herself as she stomped off back in the direction of the camp. Sighing to himself, he continued into the Darkling Forest where snow shone in the night.

Alika kept his senses alert as he walked through the forest. It was after he had failed to catch a weasel that he hissed in exasperation. It had been so close! And then he spotted it - a large, red deer. It was a wild thought, but if he had any chance of catching it, it could last for days! But he couldn't - there was no way.

Or could he?

A predatory glint sparked in his eyes as he crept towards the creature. It was huge, but it would be worth it. With one large leap, the landed onto its back. Startled, the deer bucked. Wait, what?! Alika's eyes widened as he was flung off its back and into the snow. Not backing down, he got back up quickly, only to see a large hoof coming his way - one that could kill. So was that it? He was just going to get killed just like that? Alika knew that he should have ran, but his legs were petrified. They refused his will to move.

The hoof was coming closer but then - "Run!"

Alika whipped around and saw a cat hanging onto the deer tightly. That was what had caused it to rear. "Raiza?!"

Seeing his chance, he too, leapt onto the creature and - digging his claws so not to fall off - and bit it on the neck hard like he had seen other hunters do. It collapsed onto the ground pitifully.

Problem solved, he turned back to Raiza. "How did you find me?”

“I’m a tracker, Alika. And honestly, your path was easy to follow. Paw prints everywhere!” she teased.

“You're insane,” the other cat muttered. Why hadn’t she gone back to camp like he asked? She could’ve gotten hurt! Oh well, he could deal with that later. For now, they had a deer to bring back to camp. But first, they had to figure out how.
