NightPaw !

Female-Apprentice- Crush: TimberPaw Tags:Honeybee mood: meh

NightPaw was a little disappointed that she wouldn’t
be training with her friend but she knew what her mentor
Said was true. She was getting a bit big and she could hardly
fit in her nest. In not even a moon she would be a warrior.
NightPaw nodded and replied; “Yeah, your right Honeybee!
I am a bit big for my den, Ha!” She knew hunting was better
than climbing or swimming so she quickly agreeed happily.
NightPaw sat by her mentor for a while. She heard badgerstars
angry hisses. She wasn’t surpriesed by this point. He was always
yowling at someone for some reason. NightPaws stomach gave
a small growl. “Erm, Honeybee I didn’t eat last night. May I
get some prey? Don’t worry I won’t take long, I promise
after I’m done we can train!” She shifted her paws uneasily.
She knew it was a bad idea to skip eating last night. She took a
swift glance at TimberPaw and CranePaw. They both looked bored.
She decided to sit and wait for her mentors reply.

( thirty moons ) ( tom ) ( warrior ) ( location: camp )


Brambleclaw entered the camp, a large squirrel clamped in his jaws. The warrior had a habit of going on hunts alone, slipping off whenever he wasn’t needed. It gave him time to reflect and recharge, far from the prying eyes of his clan mates. Not that many of them noticed he was gone. Brambleclaw was widely considered to be cursed, thanks to the horrible luck that followed him wherever he went, and was often avoided by others. Not that he could blame them. The tom was starting to believe the rumors himself.

The seal-point tom awoke to yet another day. He yawned, his fangs gleaming slightly in the dim light. Being the deputy of a clan was a lot more responsibility than being a warrior. He licked a paw, and drew it over his ear a few times, before rising to his paws. A busy day awaited him, he was sure. He stretched, his muscles rippling under his pelt, before padding out of the den. He shook out his pelt as rain pelted down on him. His blue gaze scanned the camp, and he noticed that many warriors we're already up. Good. That, meant he could go ahead, and get patrols started. Since he didn't have an apprentice of his own, he didn't have to worry about looking after one as well as his duties of being the clan's deputy. He then realized another warrior seemed to be handling the patrols. He quickly padded over, his ears twitching slightly. "So, sorry I'm late. I see your already handling things. I guess the hunting patrol already has a leader I see. Maybe, she could take Cedarwatch, and I could come along perhaps?" he suggested, his eyes glancing around, before returning to the other two cats. He then realized something must had not gone well with the two. He must have missed something. "Am I interrupting something?" he asked, his eyes edged with concern.

The ginger tom awoke with a start early that morning. He glanced around, before noticing the sounds of rain. Great. He loved the water, but hated rain. The clan seemed so miserable all the time like this. Maybe, some sunshine, and blue skies for once? He snorted, before rising to his paws, and padding out of the den, hissing as his pelt soaked up the rain that fell onto it. He shook out his pelt, before continuing onward. He didn't think this would be the best weather for training his apprentice in. Then, again when did they ever have good weather? He padded along glancing around for his apprentice. Since he didn't see the tom, he padded away looking for other things to do.

The young molly awoke to the sound of rain. She groaned rolling over in her nest. Not again! She sighed, before rolling over onto her back. She wondered if her mentor was already awake. Maybe, they could go training. She snorted at the thought. Fleetstrike wasn't anything like the other apprentices mentors. He was much too laid-back for her. She swiped her tongue over her muzzle, before rolling over onto her paws, and stepping out of her nest. She then padded out of the apprentice den, her tail swaying slowly. As soon as she left the den, her pelt was already wet. She sighed, shaking out her pelt even though it wouldn't help. She then glanced around the camp for her mentor, and as usual he wasn't there. Flicking her tail in annoyance, she padded toward the warriors den, and glanced around inside. She could just make out the form of her mentor. Her eyes narrowed, and she padded away, rolling her eyes. She would just find something else to do, while she waited for her mentor.

badgerstar swung his large, broad head in finchcloud's direction as his deputy approached. he narrowed his eyes accusingly at the older tom. "and you, finchcloud. i assigned you as my deputy because i thought you were responsible enough to play the part. now, prove me right and wake up earlier next time." badgerstar growled. he was too angry with morningfern to verbally scathe his deputy. when his deputy included himself in morningfern's patrol, badgerstar shook his head. "you need to stay behind and assign a border patrol as well. morningfern, you can take honeybee and nightpaw with you and cedarwatch." he meowed irritably. "and finchcloud, i want a second, smaller hunting patrol sent out, too. two or three cats will suffice." badgerstar added; he would never say it out loud, but he knew that morningfern was right about the prey being scarce. he wanted to make sure his clan was strong and energized- powerful clans didn't run on empty bellies. not wanting to hear any more complaints from morningfern, badgerstar whipped around and strode back into his den, needing a moment to cool down.

honeybee smiled at her apprentice. "of course you can! just be quick," she purred. watching the apprentice leave, she padded over to morningfern and finchcloud, who had just gotten done having their heads yowled off by her brother, badgerstar. as she approached the two, she gave a sympathetic sigh. "sorry about that..." she trailed off, not really sure of what to say. clearing her throat, she tried to lighten the mood. "well, early morning hunting in the rain will be quite an experience!" honeybee meowed cheerfully. "i'm glad nightpaw and i will get to go. she will be having her warrior assessment sometime this moon, and i want to sharpen her skills before then." she explained. "it's kind of embarrassing to have an apprentice who is now taller than you." honeybee chuckled softly, referring to her own unusually small frame. she used to be ashamed of her size, and she remembered when badgerstar would always stick up for her when the other apprentices made fun of her height. but now, he wouldn't defend her even if her life depended on it. honeybee sighed again and sat quietly with morningfern, feeling the rain drip from her whiskers.

xxxxxxxxFinally morningfern seemed to have the common sense of keeping her maw shut. Though the sight of his smug expression made her fur crawl with the urge to claw it straight off his features. "yes badgerstar." she replied stiffly, knowing full well that her body's posture and gaze flaring with indignation proved that she was far from agreement. Though she left it at that. Finally finchcloud padded up to them, oblivious to the brawl she had been so close to having with their esteemed leader. She merely dipped her head slightly in acknowledgement of whom she was supposed to take on patrol. She never allowed her gaze to drop from her leader as he finally strode back into his den. She was certain if she had lazers for eyes she might have even bore a whole in the back of the imprudent tom's skull. She turned and dipped her head to honeybee softly as badgerstar's sister apologized for his actions. "I chose to speak for myself honeybee, there isn't a need to apologize. I don't regret a thing." She responded almost carelessly.

As if their disagreement couldn't have ended with her skinned on the rocks. She then chuckled lightly as honeybee poked fun at her apprentice. She hadn't had wanted an apprentice, and part of her was glad she didn't have one. "Well im certainly glad to have you along, in my opinion your much more pleasant company." she spoke with a cheerful tone, though at her last statement she sent a pointed glance at the leaders den badgerstar had thundered into. "I just hope we can catch something so we don't have to be out all day.." she huffed slightly at this. Recalling badgerstar's infuriated words earlier. "Well if you'd like to get going i'll go fetch cedarwatch? The sooner we get out there the sooner we can return." She sent a small smile at honeybee as she rose. The rain no longer got to her, but that was primarily because she had already been drenched by the time she arrived. It was no different now. Morningfern quietly searched for cedarwatch until finally coming across her attempting to rebuild the barrier between them and the river. "Cedarwatch? I fear it might be hopeless dear." she commented coming up beside the younger molly. "But I do thank you for your efforts," she inhaled as she glanced at the river, it raged and roared, threatening to swallow everyone whole. "I've been instructed to head out on a hunting party, honeybee, nightpaw and you are to accompany me." she meowed, informing the molly of the situation at hand. All the while her gaze remained on the churning river. "Come on," finally the molly removed her eyes from the river, which reminded her very much of what her emotions had looked like moments before as she fumed in front of badgerstar. "We should gather the others and head out as soon as we can, I'd like to get back sooner rather than later." with this morningfern began to head back to honeybee and nightpaw.

xxxxxxxxFleetstrike rolled over at the sound of his clan mate's squabbles. The indignation and agitation in the air finally rising the near-lazy tom. He huffed softly before rolling onto his paws. Still groggy the tom half walked half stumbled out of the warriors den, giving his leader and the foolish warrior who had picked a fight with him a wide area. He had no intentions of interrupting that. Giving his pelt a good shake as he finally seemed to register that it was pouring rain. The tom finally let his gaze begin to look for his apprentice, they might as well begin training as he had clearly been late to the festivities.

His gaze singled out the silhouette of his apprentice padding in the opposite direction of him and he gave a soft sigh. "Hawkpaw!" He called after her bounding and sliding ever so slightly as his paws attempted to get a good grip on the mud. "Sorry, didn't mean to oversleep." he meowed turning his gaze towards the other cats. "Any idea what's going on there?" he asked gently gesturing towards the congregation of his clan mates. The jumble of conversation was near impossible to make out from a distance.

xxxxxxxxBrindlepaw's eyes found the bengal tom easily as he slipped between cats in an attempt to do something that was beyond the frustrated apprentice. With a huff that sent his tail lashing the tom strode out of the apprentice den, his sharp golden eyes trained on his mentor. "Scorchheart." he purred with a sly grin laced with malice. "What plans do we have today?" he genuinely asked. All traces of frustration gone with the thump of a heartbeat. It was unsettling from a distance to see how quickly the apprentices's demeanor changed. "I hope it's something interesting.." he thought aloud though it was more of a mumble than anything. The argument earlier had been fairly interesting, but that was primarily because he had hoped it would end with a fight. He always adored fights. Specifically when it meant he could likely learn a thing or two just by watching. Fight training didn't sound so bad, but his fellow apprentices were likely doing something more important than to spar with him, and sparring with his mentor was never any fun. He was much too large and easily overtook the apprentice, even though he'd give it his all.

Female-Strait- Crush: TimberPaw- Mood: Cheerful- Tags: Open

NightPaw was happy that she would get
to satisfy her hungry stomach before she
started her training, in the rain. She knew
it could be hard to track in the rain. She saw
her mentor pad away to talk to MorningFern and FinchCloud while she
was eating her prey. She grabbed a small
mouse. NightPaw didn’t want to be greedy
while taking prey. She ate her mouse and
savored the taste in her mouth. NightPaw knew
that she wouldn’t be eating to many as a
apprentice. NightPaw finished her prey she
padded over to her mentor. “I’m ready to go.”
NightPaw gave her paw a clean and then sat
by her Honeybee, waiting for her to respond.
She assumed that they were going on a patrol
at this point. She didn’t mind to hunt with other
cats. She guessed she wouldn’t be hunting with
TimberPaw. Maybe tomorrow she would get to.
She was a bit confused if they were going hunting
or not. NightPaw wanted to prepare to become
a warrior. She twitched her tail nervously. She looked
up at her mentor. Badgerstar was being such a
mouse brain. Why can’t we have a good leader, that
leads us?She sat by Honeybee as her head swirled
with thoughts.

the sun rose to find the ruddy colored she-cat perched in a tree like some kind of bird, perfectly balanced with her tail hanging down behind her as she scans the surrounding tree canopies. her knack for trees seems to confuse the others in the camp, but at least it brings in food. emberhaze looks around like an owl, her head moving while her body remains motionless. her query can sense movement so it's better to be like stone. as the sunlight filters down through the leaves, it wakes the sleeping birds and squirrels and causes them to stir in their nests. this was what the she-cat was waiting for and why she was up a tree so early in the morning. coppery eyes lock onto a target in a tree nearby, a squirrel nest was starting to tremble from movement inside.

emberhaze wastes no time skittering down the tree in which she perches, head first as always, and back up the adjacent tree where she carefully picks and chooses her way up to the nest. her sharp eyes assess each branch before she puts a paw on it, not wanting one to break and send her to the ground for a broken leg or even death. just as she gets level to the nest, it rattles and a squirrel pokes its head out. the huntress quickly lunges forward and grabs the rodent before it can alert to her presence. the kill is quick and silent, but she simply drops the carcass to the ground for later pick up and goes about dispatching all the other squirrels inside the nest. there were only three other young ones, just about ready to leave the nest for their own adventures. she eats the smaller ones and heads farther up the tree to a second nest. this one only has a single squirrel, but it was killed just as quickly and silently as the others.

when the sun reaches the tops of the trees, emberhaze heads back to camp with her prizes. three squirrels and a snake that she had found trying to steal from her. since the she-cat was out of the camp most of the early morning, emberhaze was clueless to the tensions and drama going down between morningfern and badgerstar. though it wouldn't be much of a surprise considering the leader wasn't at all the nicest. it was hard to give up the precious meat she had caught, but she does put all but one squirrel onto the pile. the last one she takes and hides in a den that's slightly away from the others, she prefers to sleep here rather then the warrior den with the others. it was far too crowded and a lot of the other cats snored or moved around too much for her to get much sleep. once the squirrel she caught was buried at the back of her den, she heads back out to see what the others were doing. a patrol from the looks of it. emberhaze chooses to lay just inside her solitary den, enough to get out of the rain that has left her soaked all morning.

Snowstrike softened once he saw Morningfern finally stop being so "strong" against a wolf compared to her, he turned his face back to the two apprentices, "Let's go, okay?" As he turned, Snowstrike gently nudged Honeybee with a rumbling purr, "I'm going to train Cranepaw.. I'll be back later with something for you to eat, okay? Make sure that crazy badger stays sane." His voice dropped as he brought up the leader and he dropped from the rock he was sitting on and tiled his head towards Brambleclaw, "Go with your mentor, Timberpaw. You're a big tom now."

As the rain grew heavier and heavier, he felt his teeth grit and a snarl leaving his jaws, "I'm giving it three days and the creek will overflow." He snarled to Cranepaw, a hateful ring leaving his jaws. Though, it was directed to the apprentice besides him.

Sighing, Timberpaw smiled at Nightpaw and flicked his tail in a "goodbye" as he trailed towards Brambleclaw.

It slowly started to get heavier and Timberpaw felt his fur starting to drip horribly.

Finchcloud flinched at the leader's words, before lowering his head in shame. He should have been up earlier. He would make sure he was next time. "Of course, Badgerstar. My apologies." he said, before quickly padding away. He stopped, and looked over his shoulder at his leader's words, and nodded. A border patrol, and a small hunting patrol. He would be able to do that. He glanced around, before spotting Emberhaze padding into her den. He bounded after her, and slowed as he approached the entrance. "Emberhaze? I would like for you to take Cherrycloud and Duskthicket on a border patrol." he said, before turning away. He would now have to look for enough cats to go on a hunting patrol. Badgerstar had said three would be a good number. He soon spotted Plumwillow, and padded over to the molly. "Plumwillow. I would like you to join me on a small hunting patrol as Badgerstar has requested." he said, before padding off. Just one more. He soon spotted the unusually tabby Brittlebounce. "Brittlebounce! I need you to join me on a hunting patrol with Plumwillow. Badgerstar has requested it." he said, before waiting for the molly's reply.

The bengal tom's eyes snapped toward an approaching cat. He turned and noticed his apprentice approaching him, and his tail flicked in mild annoyance. His eyes narrowed, at the young tom's words, before finally speaking. "Brindlepaw. We do have plans today. Maybe, some hunting lessons, or surprise attacks? Or maybe you'd like to spar against yours truly." he said, a sly grin appearing on his muzzle. He knew that he probably had irritated the tom for sleeping in, but he didn't care. He was his mentor, and he could easily report him to Badgerstar if needed. He swiped his tongue over his muzzle, before glancing around, and returning his gaze to his apprentice. "Plenty of interesting things to do. And guess what? You get to pick." he said, his tone cold. Whatever he chose, he didn't care. He would make it as challenging as possible. He would push him to his limit that was for sure. Other mentors we're just too soft on their apprentices. Scorchheart would be nothing of the sort.

Hawkpaw stopped and turned around, her paws leaving slight imprints in the muddy ground underfoot. She tilted her head, as her mentor approached, her tail flicking slightly. He had finally decided to wake up had he? She sighed, as he approached her, and called her name. Her tail waved in the air in greeting, before lowering it. "Hey Fleetstrike." she said, a sly grin appearing on her face. "You should learn that you can't sleep in. You should know that from your apprentice days." she said with a smirk. As her mentor continued, she glanced in that direction, and yawned like the conversation was making her bored. "Oh, just a disagreement between Badgerstar, and Morningfern. Nothing special." she dismissed, with a roll of her eyes. She didn't mind disagreement's, but unless something dramatic happened they we're just like every other argument.

badgerstar silently watched from the opening of his den, this time sheltered from the rain. he was observing finchcloud, wanting to ensure that his deputy had put the patrols together. as he heard finchcloud calling the names, badgerstar frowned. the realization that his paws were itching to leave camp dawned on him. ever since the rain started, badgerstar had found himself less and less willing to go outside the camp; he felt slightly... threatened, for a reason that he couldn't explain. but now, he could feel his limbs screaming at him to leave camp and work his muscles. badgerstar's green gaze followed finchcloud as the tom approached emberhaze to lead the border patrol, asking her to take duskthicket and cherrycloud with her. blinking small droplets of rain from his eyes, badgerstar stood up and stalked toward finchcloud and emberhaze. "i'll join emberhaze's patrol as well," he announced curtly, his expression seemingly unreadable. he knew it was a bit odd for a clan leader to be a part of a patrol, rather than lead one, but he simply wanted to get out of camp for a bit.

honeybee gave snowstrike a friendly nod. "that's very sweet, thank you," she mewed after the departing tom, wondering why he was offering to bring her food. giving her shoulder a lick, she looked up to morningfern. "i agree. too much time spent out in the rain, and we may just become minnows!" honeybee purred before turning to nightpaw, who had just come back from eating. "alright nightpaw, let's head out." she instructed her apprentice, leading the younger black she-cat out of the camp. honeybee knew that she wasn't leading the patrol, but she wanted to get a head start in hopes that nightpaw would be able to catch the scent of something first. turning to her apprentice, honeybee flicked her ear toward a patch of shrubbery that lied several fox-lengths away. "see that patch all the way up there? when we get there, that's where i want you to try hunting first." honeybee told nightpaw, whisking her tail once. she halted, though, to wait up for the rest of the patrol.
