Prompt:

There wasn’t any time to lose, the words of Dustwind called through is head as he burst into the sleeping den, blue eyes looking for the very thing that allowed him to be useful to the clan in these times. Spotting it, he quickly picked up and turned around. The loud clinging of the small metal object hitting the inside from side to side. Many of the cats usually annoyed at this, looked up, the sound having become the battle alarm. Many of the other protectors and fighter racing after him towards the border. Her tried his best to maneuver the item around his face to where it was on his neck. He wasn’t sure why, but this was just something that he couldn’t leave from his past life as a kittypet. The clan had made it harder for him to be accepted, most just not understanding why he wanted the loud thing with him all the time, now it helped when going on patrols and battles. The loud noise made it hard for other cats to stand, making battles fought shorter with less lives lost on both sides, and predators running from the sudden loudness. Maybe it wasn’t something he used all the time, but when he did, the clan was always grateful for the tom keeping his old item.

Jinglejay started life as a kitty-pet, but was dumped on the side of the road when she was a year old. While she was heartbroken over being cast aside, Hollyclan - specifically Nettlestar - had taken her in with sympathetic paws. The collar was removed and tossed out at first, but she felt a somewhat empty without it. Eventually, after a moon or two, she would go and find the collar again and mourn over her lost life one last time, before slipping it back over her head as a way to honour her old life. At first the clan was appalled to see her wear the item, as it was loud and alerted prey of her presence - as she was designated a hunter - but Nettlestar would draw her aside and speak to her on the matter. They talked for half the day, her telling him of her old life and her reason; the collar served as a reminder of her home, her family, sure, but it also reminded her to take the betrayal and make her stronger - that she could be a good clan cat and still have broken ties from a life beyond the pine forest. In the end he allowed it, but asked her to take up a rank that isn't so focused on stealth. Jinglejay knew in a heartbeat what she wanted to be. She wanted to be a kit sitter! Kits adored the sound of her bell and would frolic around with her in camp, batting at the golden bell and having a bit of fun while their mothers took breaks or watched from a few tail lengths away. The clan might not have preferred the sound in the beginning, but since she took to being a day-breaker, it wouldn't be that big of an issue. As for how she takes to the sound, she loves it and loves what it represents for herself. A blending of new and old, remembering but not being weighed down by a loss. She took something sad and made it joyful and believes it will bring good memories to kits who she's watched (and will watch) the same way it brings good memories to her, too.

Prompt:
Jaypaw's clan originally hated his bell collar, the sound scared off any pray that could be found. No one in the clan knew where Jaypaw or his collar came from, but they did know he was unwilling to part with it. As time went on and the clan began to lose more pray they began to notice a lack of alligators were coming close to the camp or training grounds. They realized that the alligators stayed away due to their own dislike of the sound. With that Badgerstar began sending Jaypaw and his mentor, followed by multiple warriors, to patrol around the territory that often had quite a few alligators. Now-a-days Jaypaw and his mentor patrol the territory everyday to keep away the alligators. On top of that the clan has learned to filter out the sound of the bell and actually enjoy the peace it brings with it.

Clan: StormClan
Rank: apprentice
Gender: Female
Age: 9 moons

Prompt:

"Crystalpaw, stop with that racket!" One of the apprentices grumbled.

Crystalpaw glanced over at him guiltily. "I'm trying not to move, I'm sorry."

"Well try harder!" He snapped before curling tighter into his nest.

"Pay him no heed." One of the other apprentices piped up. "He sleeps like a hibernating bear. He'll be fine." She glanced down at the object around Crystalpaw's neck. "Personally I think it's beautiful. You're so lucky your mentor let you keep it."

Crystalpaw purred, touching a paw to it, making it jingle softly. "Me too..."

"Sweet sleep." The apprentice murmured as she yawned, curling up to sleep.

Crystalpaw nodded and then she too, laid her head down and wrapped her tail around her nose. Soon she drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

In her dream, she was a brand new apprentice again, exploring the forest. Allowed out by herself for the first time. Her heart felt high as a bird. She lifted her head to sniff the air as she ran through the forest. The cool air whipping through her fur felt so good. The birds chattered overhead. Baby squirrels were out learning to forage. Life was good.

She skidded to a stop when she smelled something unusual. Trying to slow her breathing, she crept through what little cover she could find, skirting a pine tree with low branches. Ears pricked and eyes peeled, she slunk forward, setting each paw down carefully as not to disturb any leaves or step on any twigs. The strange scent became stronger. Her nose twitched. It was unfamiliar and she knew she was supposed to go back and report it, but curiosity gnawed at her belly. Unable to resist, she reached forward, following the smell. And suddenly she found it. It was yellow. Crystalpaw had no way to describe it or name it. But it looked shiny. And hard. She picked it up and it made a clang sound. She dropped it in alarm, backing away from whatever the thing was. But her curiosity returned and when it was quiet again, she pawed it. The noise came again. Soon she was bounding and twisting around, batting the thing around. Whatever it was, it made a great play thing.

Feeling quite proud of herself, she picked it up in her mouth and wrapped it carefully around her neck. It was a pretty color and smelled like pine. She loved it instantly.

"I'll call you bell..."

Cat Name: Bluebell
Clan: SilverClan
Rank: Kittypet Communicator
Gender: She-cat
Age: 40m

Prompt:

Most cats in the clan coughcoughSmokestepcoughcough find it annoying, and some find it interesting.

Sometimes news has to be passed between the clans and twolegplace. Bluebell, with her bell collar, has been assigned to deliver this news because she would fit in and look similar to the kittypets. Riverbed, one of the local loners, would bring her news from the twolegplace. Who had kits, who was new, who left, etc., until he died. Then, his best friend from twolegplace, Rye, starting giving the news. Other cats she had spoken to all knew Rye, and some called him the king. Rye brought Bluebell all kinds of gossip and news. On the days she didn't go to twolegplace to share information with Rye, she would slip off her collar and let the kits or apprentices chase it around camp. Once they were tired, she would slip her collar back on.

Cat Name: flintflower
Clan: jayclan
Rank: warrior
Gender: female
Age: 13 moons

Prompt:

Flintflower is straight up not having a good time right now. Being a naturally jumpy cat and having loud bells tied to you don't and shouldn't ever mix, but what can ya do? The story behind the collar itself is a long one so suffice it to say Shadestar should never be around kits again, she creates absolute monsters in the image of herself. The clan can barely survive with one of her, and Flintflower dreads to know what more havoc Amberpaw is going to cause.

Usually a newly appointed warrior is the talk of the clan for a while. However, usually those newly appointed warriors don't have an awfully loud bell ringing every time they move. They wont admit it, but the clan has been avoiding her since that day. She'd probably avoid herself too if she was them.

She really wishes she could avoid herself. As mentioned before, she's a pretty jumpy cat, so, you can imagine how she feels about this. She tries not to move much anymore. She forgot about it once which meant she didn't expect to hear the noise when she moved which only got louder as she freaked out, completely forgetting the noise was coming from her. She is not going to relive that experience, and if that means she never moves again, so be it.

Cat Name: Shirl
Clan: https://toyhou.se/TheSongOfTheStars/cha ... er:1003472
Rank: Clan Keeper
Gender: male
Age: 33 moons

Prompt:

Shirl is absolutely adored by the rest of the cats in Songclan. Since the clan places such a huge emphasis on music his ability to chime out a tune just by moving is greatly appreciated. He's learned to move and hunt around the bell decently, but still is not very good with it. Thusly he spends his time within the clan camps, helping tend with the smaller chores such as cleaning out the nests and helping keep the kits in line. His most important task given to him by the leader of Songclan is teaching the young kits to sing. He has a fine voice and has found that he greatly enjoys learning the music and teaching the kits the lyrics of the old songs. He also is always present when the clan gathers for a communal sharing of stories and music.
