As morning drew near, Foxleaps soft white paws slowly regained their comfortable warmth from before. She had been awake for quite some time, sitting outside the Queens den as her kit snuggled soundly in a thick nest to keep him warm. While the she-cat longed to join the others on a crisp morning patrol, she never strayed too far from her kits. Her days have been isolated with occasional greetings from a clanmate or two. Foxleap stretched as she stood, kicking out her back legs that ached. Her kits were safe inside the den, with the only other queen. She gave one last look at them before turning away and walking away from the small nest. Her leader was sitting in the center of camp. It was not quite time for patrols, the warriors would be waking now. Greystar knew Foxleap wanted out of her, as she called it, jail house. "Good morning, Greystar, Bitternfang." Foxleap purred, approaching the tom and her deputy Bitternfang. She had been from Aspenclan and Greystar from Ivy. Her mate, mother and father both died in the wars from before, however she had seen Greystar lose members of his clan as well. "My kits are nearly apprentices and have been patrolling the camp on their own quite a bit. While they think they are being sneaky, I have had a few wary eyes watching them. Do you think I could join a hunting patrol today?" Usually, Bitternfang led the border patrols, since they were more dangerous. Before her kits, Foxleap had used to lead a few patrol herself. The longer she waited in the queens den the more she worried such privileges would be lost/ her abilities would be forgotten.

Nightkit watched his mother walk away in secret with partially opened eyes. When her orange pelt could no longer be seen, the kit straightened himself in the nest. He placed his paws on his brothers head, shaking vigorously. "Shrikekit! Wake up!" Nightkit shook some more, before bounding from his nest into the tranquil nest of Skykit and her mother. Nightkit poked the she-cat quietly, trying not to stirr the sleeping mother. "Skykit, psst, Shrikekit and I are going to play around the camp. You should come!" The tabby tom looked back to see his sibling sitting up from the nest with messy fur and half opened eyes. He looked around dazed and confused. "Come on, brother, lets go!" Nightkit didn't wait for the others. Instead, he bound from the small hollowed stump and into the fresh morning air.

Saltwater exited his den with the intentions of having a few words with his leader, however his attention seemed to be taken by the pretty single queen named Foxleap. The tome grunted a few bitter words under his breath before turning back to the medicine den. While a small pile of unorganized herbs called to him, the feeling of the sun enchanted saltwater into staying outside of the den. His pale yellow eyes gazed over his new clan and the general activity. He still remembered an apprentices joke, insisting that his eyes were so pale because he never left his den. His den was the largest of them all. A rare thick pine tree had grown two sprouts and with weather and time, the tree deformation was hollowed out. A few hours of digging and saltwater had himself a safe medicine den. His fur was dirty and messy as normal. As a young lad, no one would have believed it, but his pelt used to be sleek.

Dovepaws ears twitched when her mentor left the den, but she tried her best to stay asleep, or at the very least, dozing. When her mentor didn't re-enter the den however, she got slightly concerned. She lifted her head and her ears swiveled around, trying to hear any sound of Saltwater lingering around the den. After not hearing anything, she slowly uncurled herself from her bed and stood, arching her back in a long stretch, and letting out a long yawn. She slowly padded towards the exit of the den, slowly nosing her way out. Judging by the noises outside, a few cats were already up and mingling, and something shifted on the dirt a few pawsteps in front of her. "Saltwater?" She asked quietly, and stepping forward. After realizing it was him thanks to his scent, Dovepaw padded closer and took a seat near the older tom. "Are you hungry?" She asked, drawing her tail over her paws. "I can go grab us some food," She offered.

Skykit/Female/Kit/M:n/a/T: Nightkit, Shrikekit
Skykit was being prodded by a branch? No that isn't right. She opened her eyes to Nightkit, not a tree branch, poking her. "ok, I am coming" She whispers a reply with a yawn. She gets up to her paws slowly to prevent waking her mother. Skykit stood and looked back to make sure her mom was still asleep before following Nightkit and Shrikekit out into camp.

Morninglight/Female/Queen/M:n/a/T:n/a
Morninglight woke up and curled her tail around air? Wait! Where was Skykit? Morninglight jumped to her paws and began looking around for her kit. "Skykit? Skykit?" She called out. She franticly searched the nursery in panic. "Skykit?!" She called out more franticly.

The tom purred at his anxious deputy, waving his striped tail as if to dispel any worries. "You've got nothing to fear, old friend. I trust your abilities, I just wanted to talk to our warriors and get a feel for how they're all doing. This is the first morning I can hear birds chirping, and I'm hoping for a warm newleaf." The two sat for a moment, until the sound of approaching pawsteps made Graystar turn his head. Foxleap was visible from a mile away, with her ginger-and-white fur standing out against the bleak gray of the camp. Dipping his head, Graystar responded with an amused huff.

"I have a feeling if I say no, you'll ask everyday until your sons get apprenticed. Very well - so long as Morninglight or another cat is watching, and I'm sure you already asked her." The she-cat was always prepared, he had learned the last few moons. "Bitternfang, you can select cats for the border patrol when they wake. I'll lead a hunting party with Foxleap and any other cat who goes with us."

Shrikekit was fairly used to Nightkit's violent awakenings. His brother was rarely gentle, but Shrikekit preferred the rough-housing to simply being ignored. Ready for whatever he had to face, he shrugged out of his nest and shook out his thick ivory fur. He prodded Goldenkit as well, should she wish to join them, and scampered toward the entrance. Whispering a good morning to Skykit, he was following his brother from the den when he heard Morninglight's voice calling from inside.

"She's already onto us," he grumbled, looking at his friend. "How does she wake up so easily?"

Skykit/Female/Kit/M:n/a/T: Nightkit, Shrikekit
Skykit heard her mother’s voice. “She is a tad bit over protective” Skykit tells the others. “I think we should hide” Skykit says before ducking under a thick bush. Skykit lay in hiding, not able to see anything.

Morninglight/Female/Queen/M: Skykit/T:n/a
Morninglight padded out of the den and looked around camp not spotting Skykit where she was hiding. “Skykit? Skykit?” She continued to call out looking in every direction possible. Morninglight padded around frantically.

Bitternfang/Male/Deputy/M:n/a/T: Greystar, Foxleap
Bitternfang slowly relaxed, knowing he wasn’t doing something wrong. He smiled gratefully at his friend. “Ok” he says nodding and looking around. Not many were awake yet. “I hope there is warmer weather ahead” He comments. “The birds are out so that is a good sign.” He says hopefully.

⋯⋯ ❝ FAWNRIVER ❞

warrior ‣ 34 moons ‣ molly ‣ mentions:


whether it was from the stirs of her fellow awakening clanmates or the nearing new leaf, fawnriver had been pulled from her slumber and gifted with the repetitive morning drowsiness. the young cat was one to appreciate mornings and the extra time, but she could never defeat the desire to go back to sleep. lifting her messy coat up, her round eyes glanced to the other pelts around her, not many were up. once seated upright, she closed her eyes for a long moment, taking in the warm and quiet atmosphere of the warriors den.

stepping out on dainty paws to greet the morning light, fawnriver stretched her short limbs forward, muscles tense and back arched. she noticed the day was already beginning with the gathering of both her leader and deputy, and the mews from chatting cats. fawnriver noticed the distinctive pelt of foxleap, she was surprised to see her away from her rambunctious litter. for a brief moment fawnriver was curious about the life of a queen, but she never felt that she'd be a motherly fit- she wasn't one to ever want to disappoint and she couldn't bear being in that situation with her own young.

sitting in a sunny spot, fawnriver decided on not joining the gathering cats but to wait for instruction. she was grateful for the approaching newleaf and was excited to see the creation of future warriors with the warmer weather. her pink tongued swiped across her unruly pelt, calming the curls and knots from her slumber.

A chuckle rumbled deep in the large tom's chest. "The snowmelt is already starting to run into the river. Prey always returns once the river runs - we've made it through the worst of the season." It was no question that this year's famine was the worst in the clans' history. If it weren't, the two groups would have survived without help. Graystar pushed the thoughts away, noticing Fawnriver and a few others emerge from the dens on the west side of the clearing. "Report to Bitternfang and me for patrols!" he called clearly to any who were listening. It was an earlier morning than usual, but he was confident in his warriors' energy. Today would be a good day, he could feel it in his paws already. "Would you prefer Fawnriver my hunting patrol or your border group?" he asked his deputy.

A black bundle of fur was nestled beneath the hollow of a tree. As Morninglight's voice rang through the air, the bundle stretched and grew into a lithe, slim-figured she-cat. Wrenwing blinked her green eyes sleepily, shaking away her dreams at the realization that Morninglight sounded worried. Being a newer queen than Foxleap, she often doted upon her small she-kit. Wrenwing hurried over, calling out a friendly mew. "Did Skykit run off again? I don't know how she keeps up with the others. I'll sniff her out for you, if you'd like?"

Shrikekit huddled down beside his friends, his pelt prickling nervously. His mother was a strict she-cat, and the moment she found out that they had frightened Morninglight would probably be the end of his days on earth. He knew the gray-mottled queen was only so protective because Skykit was her only daughter...but it was still frustrating when she couldn't join them to play. "If she doesn't find us, where are we going?" he hissed to Nightkit. His brother was usually the one who came up with daring plans, though both brothers would end up being punished equally.

[Furrydogs12]

Skykit/Female/Kit/M:n/a/T: Nightkit, Shrikekit, Goldenkit?
Skykit stayed hiding under the bush with the others.
She looked around under the bush and saw paws walking around. She held back a yelp as she heard footsteps close to the bush they were hiding in. She looked to Nightkit and waited for his response to Shrikekit’s question. “Hopefully we don’t get caught” she says. She really wanted to explore with the other kits. But, her mom wouldn't let her.

Morninglight/Female/Queen/M: Skykit/T: Wrenwing
Morninglight heard someone talking and looked around. She heard the voice coming from Wrenwing. “Oh, yes please!” She says with a grateful tone. “Thank you so much” she adds. “Skykit wasn’t in the nursery when I woke up and now I can’t find her!” She says still in panic mode.

Bitternfang/Male/Deputy/M: Fawnriver/T:Greystar,Foxleap
The brown tabby tom nods. “The worst is over” he says. He listens to his friend as he asks him about Fawnriver. “What do you prefer? That she goes with your hunting patrol? Or my Border patrol? I don’t mind either one, whichever you think is best. ” He tells Greystar. He honestly didn’t mind. Bitternfang lifts the white side of his top lip into a small smile.

The gray tom thought for a moment, then nodded to himself. "Alright, take Thistleclaw, Wrenwing, Hawthornwind, and Asterbreeze on your border patrol. I'll take Heronclaw, Fawnriver, Foxleap, and Aphidpaw hunting. Aphidpaw could use some more hunting experience, anyhow. When everybody's here and awake, we'll head out." He spotted Wrenwing across the clearing, talking to Morninglight. He would wait a few more minutes, but the sun was rising. If his warriors didn't wake up soon, he would have to go rouse them himself. Either that, or send the kits in to jump on them.

ooc; I'm posting this to keep y'all invovled, I'll post for wrenwing and shrikekit when I get a response from park c:

She listened as the two high ranking toms spoke. Bitternfang was a strong ton and his pelt was rugged. While she didn’t know him well, she couldn’t help but think of her old mate when she saw the tabby tom. His markings and form was all too similar. Their leader on the other side had a sleek pelt, his beautiful grey markings blended beautifully. She felt nervous, going hunting with him and others. Its been some time, what if she messed up? However, she knew her leader was kind and the chance to finally leave the camp made her paws itch to get running. “A hunting patrol sounds lovely.” She purred. “Fawnriver can join us on the hunting patrol if you two would like.” Her tail flicked. “Shes an excellent hunter if I do remember correctly.” Greystar soon decided. Foxleap jumped up excitedly. “I can stir anyone if you need me to, Greystar. I’ll get them to their paws I’ve been waiting for this day.”

Nightkit watched as a suspecting warrior passed the bush they hid in. It looked like Wrenwing, but it was hard to tell. “Okay go!” Nightkit shouted and soon the kits were off, running from one bush to the next. A giggle left his maw and his feather soft fur blew in the breeze. He could hear the other two running behind him and soon Shrikekit with his long legs was running faster. “Oh no you don’t!” Nightkit yowled and soon he was charging faster, trying to catch up. They stumbled into another bush and then another and another. Shrikekit stopped running and started to look around with worry. Skykit too. “What?” Nightkit asked, breathing heavily. “Whats wrong-“ he stopped speaking. They were outside of camp. They haven’t had training in scent and tracking. While they weren’t far, all the new scents drowned out the direction in which camp was. “A-are we lost?”

Saltwater directed his attention to Dovepaw and a smile formed on his maw. “A hunting patrol is being organized soon.” He explained and watched as she sat next to him. “I am going to be picky today and wait for the freshkill to come in.” The tom snickered and stood up, stretching once more. “Why don’t we go gather some herbs outside of the camp? When we come back the hunting patrol should be back.” He enjoyed the feeling of the sun against his fur. While he hid in the den all day, on occasion he wanted to get out of the camp. In secret, they weren’t going to be looking for herbs today. There was something that always worried him and that was Dovepaws ability to protect herself. A few disarming moved would make him calm his nerve.
