Roll says... 7: Patrol.

"Can we go on a patrol?" you say. "I know there's a border patrol out, but we can do a hunting patrol instead."

Applefoot glances at the sky. "It's getting a little late in the afternoon, Rookpaw. I don't think a lot of prey is going to be out right now."

"We could still try."

"You've done enough work today." She shakes her head. "And I don't really feel like doing anything right now. If you want to go out by yourself, go ahead, but I'm not planning to go anywhere."

"Weren't you saying earlier that new apprentices shouldn't go out on their own?" you say.

"So I was." She stretches out in the sun. "Guess that makes me a hypocrite. Just relax for the rest of the day in camp."

You start to argue, but it's clear she isn't listening anymore. You sigh and trot away to let her doze.

You ask a few other cats to go with you, but they're all preoccupied, leaving you to circle around camp at least five times. The day passes by dreadfully slowly, so you stoop to eavesdropping, but no one says anything interesting, other than gossip about who's possibly sneaking out and visiting loners in the middle of the night.

Eventually, it becomes time to sleep, but you're not even tired. You shuffle in your nest for about 20 minutes before you get up out of frustration. You step out of the apprentice's den, greeted by sleepy purrs and snores. No one else appears to be awake - there's not even a sentry out right now. You're entirely alone.

That is, until you see someone slink out of the warrior's den.

It's Eveningtail. She somehow doesn't notice you as she glances around camp before sneaking to the entrance and leaving. What is she doing out so late by herself? And was she carrying something?

Follow Eveningtail.
Wake someone up.
Go back to bed.

[mistywater]

Wake someone up. It wouldn't be clever to follow the deputy alone, what if your cover gets blown? Somebody older should know what to do.

[~*Amber*~]

Follow eveningtail!

[Greenleaf]

Rookpaw crouched down to hide herself in the shadows, and immediately made up her mind to follow Eveningtail.

[Altias]

She should wake someone up to see if they'll listen to her. Of course, seeing as she's only an apprentice, they may not!

Roll says... 2: Follow Eveningtail.

You do your best to be stealthy as you follow her out. You're at first confused as to where she went - the deputy is silent and careful to not leave so much as a blade of grass out of place - but you finally manage to catch on to her scent and follow it as quietly as you can.

Tracking Skill +1.

It's a while before you find her scent growing stronger. She must have stopped at some point - there's an unfamiliar smell somewhere around here, but you can't place it. You become quickly aware that she's close by, and when you quicken your pace you can hear footsteps.

She's heading for the river, sounding frantic, even murmuring to herself, though you can't here what she says. You have to stop and hide in the herb patch when she pauses and looks around, which makes you almost lose her when she takes off at a full sprint. It's a long minute of trying to be quiet and fast at the same time - luckily, as a cat, your eyes adjust to the darkness perfectly, so you don't stumble over anything.

The sound of the river soon drowns out her footsteps and breathing, and you have to go on scent alone, which increases the difficulty quite a bit. You stick to the trees and grass so she can't see or smell you, but she's running along the beach now, and you have to risk poking your head out to see where she is. She's almost at the cross-able section of the river on the border along ForestClan territory. What she's running for, you don't know.

You don't dare risk swimming after her, so you keep to the grove and follow as best as you can. You think you can hear someone talking, but the sound of the river mixed with the nearby splashing of waves along the lake makes you strain your ears, and even then you can only catch snippets of conversation.

"...had such...not the...better..."

"If you...I'll...rotten-"

"...enough! You..."

"Hush...someone else..."

Oh, crap. They must know you're here, or at least that someone's here. You keep very still, thankful of the smell of the herbs that you had rested in for a moment. It won't be strong enough to hold you there forever, but maybe if you're still, they'll miss you.

Stay hidden.
Run home.
