Owlface trotted over to Brokenstar "may I speak with you? It is urgent" he said frowning.

Blackpaw was asleep in her nest after the patrol.

Oneear slipped out of the warriors den yawning and started to wash herself.

In the end, Foxpaw (and probably Leafpaw too?) had fled back to camp, realizing that the two leg just wouldn't give up, and quite obviously couldn't understand what they were saying, only making strange noises from its threat in reply. She had managed to get some sleep at night after bringing her squirrel back to camp and searching for her mentor Ryestem for a while with no luck. It was now morning and Foxpaw was up bright and early, fully energized and ready to sneak out of camp and go on some adventures like usual. Nobody seemed to miss her, so she figured it didn't matter too much.

Talon yawned and stretched, getting up from his nest feeling groggy. He wasn't sure, but he thought hat he had gotten even less sleep than last night. Pesky clan cats, managing to make so much noise even though they were so far away. He blinked at the bright light of the sun just beginning to peek over the horizon and trees, sighing as his belly grumbled. He set out for a short hunting trip, tasting the air.
(Anyone wanna come meet Talon, he's so lonely ;-;)

"yes you may" she meowed coolly walking with owlface the way into her den "what do you need?"

[Pistol Annie #1 NPC]

"Aaah!" Leafpaw shouted, terrified as Foxpaw landed on the ground. He rushed to her side, standing in front of her protectively. The tiny apprentice arched his back with his tail raised high, and hissed in the most ferocious voice he could muster. "We're going to take you down!" he squeaked. "You're going to pay for being mean to other cats!"
The creature went into a big thing, which started to rumble and make a lot of noise. It had four huge, black, round paws. The monstrous thing began to speed away, even though its paws never left the ground. Leafpaw tried to pursue them, but the monster was too fast. He collapsed on the ground with a sob.
"What are we going to do now?" he whimpered. "We have to tell Brokenstar! This is really bad, but we've got to save her!"
--- time skip to the next morning ---
Leafpaw hadn't got the courage to tell Brokenstar himself. He had just gone back to camp and passed out in his nest, and once he woke up, he raced out of his den. He ended up crashing into the fresh-kill pile, which had been replenished by Hawkfang and the patrol.
"Lookit, lots of food!"

Dustfoot hadn't picked up Owlface's scent. Nodding to Molestar, he followed the MossClan leader and his rogue Clanmates. When they got to camp, Dustfoot smiled crookedly as a scrawny ginger cat cowered. Firestep was isolated in a circle of rogues. A young tom with blue eyes approached, claws unsheathed, crouching in a hunter's position. There was panic in his eyes for a moment, but he seemed to overcome it. Arrow pounced, landing on the skinny rogue's back and plunging his fangs into his neck. Firestep fell to the ground limply, earning a laugh from Dustfoot.
"If only this would happen in my Clan. My brother would be first to die. How do we want to get revenge on the FrostClan traitors together?"
--- time skip to next morning ---
Dustfoot had returned to FrostClan for the night, but now he was visiting the MossClan camp again. He was resting, waiting to talk with some rogues about their plans.

"Our leader must have a reason to do everything." Cinderpaw agreed with Blackpaw.
--- time skip to next morning ---
Cinderpaw had been keeping watch in camp all night. She stretched, her muscles rippling under her pelt. "I wonder where the patrol is..."

Cloudwing hoped the rest of the patrol was following him. He ran through the forest, towards the direction he heard the cries. He needed to succeed on his mission, since the kittypet sounded like she was terrified, maybe even in pain. Cloudwing hated it more than anything when other cats were in pain. He would go to extremes to help suffering cats, even if it meant-
He didn't want to think about his apprenticeship as a medicine cat, but the memories came flooding back as he ran. Cloudwing could only keep running, with his tail tucked between his legs. The memories would never leave him alone.
Cloudwing was quivering as he stood beside the patient's nest. She had been mauled, and her gruesome wounds wouldn't stop bleeding. The medicine cat had gone out to find more spiderwebs. Cloudwing couldn't stop shaking, tormented by the wounded cat's thrashing and wailing.
"Please, Cloudwing! Do something!" she pleaded, clenching her jaw in agony.
"What d-do you need?" fearfully, Cloudwing placed a gentle paw on her heaving flank.
With a whimper, the wounded tabby gestured towards the medicine cat's stores. In the panicked scramble for spiderwebs, some of the berries had been knocked onto the cave floor. Cloudwing recognized those berries. A cold horror gripped him, and he shook his head at the patient.
"No, no... I can't do that."
The dying she-cat's voice was barely audible, and she stared at him with imploring wide eyes. "You have to help me."
Cloudwing took a deep, shaky breath. He couldn't neglect a Clanmate in pain. Perhaps he would be breaking the warrior code either way, whether he obeyed his patient's wishes or not. Cloudwing had fought his entire life to uphold his Clan and its code. And he didn't see another way to help.
With a heavy heart, he went to retrieve the berries-
Someone smashed into him, and Cloudwing tripped into the snow. He slowly got to his paws, breathing heavily. Only now did he realize he had been sprinting hard. Exhausted, he tilted his head up, realizing it was Oneear. She had fallen onto her tail. "I am alright," he murmured, "thank you."
He was grateful she had snapped him out of his horrible memories. Cloudwing didn't want to visit those mental images, the haunting pictures of everything he had done.
"I cannot find my own patrol... perhaps they did not even follow me. We were sent by Brokenstar to save a kittypet," Cloudwing confided. "I have not found any kittypet."
He saw the worry in Oneear's eyes. "Are you okay? I am sorry for being inconsiderate. Here, I think we should go back to camp together."
He was exhausted, and his memories terrified him. Cloudwing felt more secure around Oneear. She wasn't like the other cats, and he felt like he could be himself around her... almost.
Would she still be his friend, if she knew what he had done?
--- time skip to next morning ---
Cloudwing was still awake. He was curled up outside the warriors' den, still listening for the kittypet's cries. He noticed Oneear had left her den, and he wanted to approach her, but he was afraid.
He wished he had the courage to tell Oneear how he felt. But it wouldn't be fair to her. Cloudwing knew she deserved better than a... than a murderer.

Blackpaw had woken up and set out to go hunting. She padded out to where she heard there was good prey and started to scent the air up wind of Talon.

"Its about Dustfoot... May we speak in your den? No one else needs to know without you knowing first" he said walking beside her.

Oneear heard someone stirring and looked in the den. She saw Cloudwing and smiled some "oh hey. .. Why don't you come out and we can talk" she said softly so she wouldn't wake other cats.

Talon continued to go about his daily business, intent on stalking a rabbit whose scent he had just picked up. It was not often he was given an opportunity to eat something as fat as a rabbit, and he absolutely would not miss this chance. Just thinking about the taste brought him back to when he had met the first kind loner in his lifetime. Not many were as kind as she was, and he certainly hadn't met another.

Foxpaw snuck out through the same bush she had squeeze grouch yesterday with Leafpaw and grinned as she saw the patterns in the snow, partially filled in due to the overnight snowing. She found a trunk of a large, rough tree and decided that today she would teach herself to climb a tree.

[There's a list of MossClan rogues on the front page. Some of them don't have a username beside the cat. Feel free to claim one of these rogues for yourself to play! ^_^]

Eventually, Cloudwing took a deep breath. He could trust Oneear with anything. She had a good heart, and Cloudwing just needed the courage to admit his secrets to her. Maybe she wouldn't think he was a murderer. Am I a murderer? I am a killer, but am I a murderer? StarClan, help me...
He approached Oneear, sitting beside her. "Do you mind if I join you? There is, uh, a tuft of fur sticking up between your ears." He felt a little awkward to point that out. "Is it okay if I groom that?"

Wham!
"The mountain is awake!" Leafpaw giggled, watching as Hawkfang made her way out of the den. She wiped something disgusting on the ground, and approached the fresh-kill pile. She had swatted the mosquito so hard, it sounded like she had broken a boulder or something. Leafpaw found that pretty funny.
"I thought mosquito season was over." Hawkfang cleared her throat.

[Cocoawolfey]

"what is about it?" brokenstar mewed

[Box of Nightmares]

[Do I claim one by just saying I would like to?
If so then I would like to claim Shadowpelt c: ]

Foxpaw scrabbled at the bark of the tree after unsheathing her claws, pouncing onto a low outcrop on the tree. She dug her claws into the rough texture of the bark, using it to pull herself up. I'm doing so, her claw got jammed into the tree, and she yanked at it several times before pulling it loose and losing her balance, falling backwards and getting her orange pelt soaked in the cold snow.
