He dipped his head to her and backed away politely. To the rest of the clan, Ripplestar announced, "It's getting late, so I'll forgo the patrol for the missing cats tonight. At dawn tomorrow, I'll take a group to the forest. For now, you all should eat and rest. We all need to be on our paws and alert." Ripplestar padded away from everyone and into his den, the weight of his troubles suddenly crashing down on him. It was only then that he realized just how tired he was, and he laid down in his seagull feather nest.

He shouted out Opalblossom's name with everyone else until Ripplestar dismissed everyone. Tinyseal excused himself from Heatflight and headed towards the fresh-kill pile, glancing over his options. He picked out a mouse from the forest and settled down, taking a bite from it before chewing. As he did so, Tinyseal glanced around to see what other cats were doing.

Opalblossom - Shore Clan Camp - Tags: open

As the exhilaration of the ceremony began to wear off Opalblossom found herself pacing around camp, unable to settle down. She had her warrior name, everything she’d ever wanted but what now? At the time she’d been so caught up in the event that the whole disappearance problem had more or less melted away. Now though, as she had time to settle down and think a weight had settled in the pit of her stomach. So many cats were missing, even her own mentor. She gritted her teeth, not wanting to think about how the cat who had taught her so much had missed her own ceremony! It was irational she, she knew it was, but she was angry and hurt at Mudfoot for not being there. Opalblossom sat down heavily with a sigh, she wished she could go rant about this to someone. Nettlepaw was the first cat that came to mind, it had been a while since she’d snuck out to meet up with the spunky medicine cat apprentice. She was one cat she didn’t have to watch her tongue around. Still, Nettlepaw wouldn’t be out gathering herbs this late, so she’d have to wait and see if she’d come around the border tomorrow. That is, assuming she hadn’t disappeared too. Opalblossom shivered, nope, she wasn’t going to think on that. Bad enough Mudfoot was gone she wasn’t about to go speculating on anyone else. Standing up, she walked over to the apprentice den, standing in the familiar entrance a moment before realizing she slept in the warriors den now. Opalblossom walked over to the warriors den and entered. Her tail flicked out at her side as she breathed in the sent of the warriors den. She hadn’t gone in their that many times before this morning and she was hesitant to walk in any further out of fear of tripping over and messing up someone’s nest. It would take a while to get used to the new space.

He turned to look over at her, a bit surprised, “Really?” A mischievous gleam smile appearing across is muzzle, “Huh, and here I was thinking you were the adventurous type.” He purred teasingly though he was actually a little surprised by her answer. He’d guessed she was a born local, she had that sort of easy confidence of someone who knew the land, but he’d been surprised that she’d never left her territory. He’d been travelling for so long the idea of spending your whole life in one spot seemed unthinkable. His gaze wandered out at the water and he actually gasped in surprise at how brilliant the colors of the sunset where, he’d been so comfortable with Fernsnap he hadn’t even noticed it going down. It struck him how long it had been since he’d felt like this, felt safe. No lingering feeling of trespassing, no mind numbing hunger, no fear of tomorrow. Redfur turned back to the warrior, guilt intruding on the moment. She really was risking a lot for him, her family was missing and yet somehow one of her first concerns had been for him. Worst of all, a part of him was grateful for their disappearance since it had allowed her to come visit. “I’m sorry for the circumstances but I’m glad your here.” He admitted softly, hoping it wasn’t an insensitive thing to say. “... I know your clan probably needs you but… Thanks for thinking of me. It’s kinda nice to know If I did disappear someone would notice.” He trailed off, then, with a deep breath Redfur stood and stretched, wincing at the sharp pain in his forearm. “Welp, that’s enough of that.” He meowed, realizing he was getting a bit too real for his liking. “You should probably go back before it gets dark.” He noted, regretting the words as soon as he said them. He wished she could stay a bit longer.
((Ok! That makes sense. We can talk in the discussion or over pm if there's anything Fernsnap would have asked Redfur about himself and vise versa, or we can play it off that they haven’t had much time to talk since the clan has been more paranoid about cats disappearing.))

Sagepaw listened as the ceremony came to a close, the chants of his clanmates ringing through his ears. He joined in, pride swelling in his chest as he watched OpalBlossom receive her warrior name. Everything was cheery until Ripplestar mentioned the missing cats, and suddenly the whole camp grew still. He watched his leader's reaction, but he remained calm and emotionless. As the meeting dispersed Sagepaw shook out his pelt and leaned forward, stretching and searching the clearing for Opalblossom. He saw her disappear into the Warrior's den and stifled a sigh. His congratulations would have to wait. She looked rather troubled, and the scrawny tom wasn't about to impose. He nosed around the fresh kill pile and finally decided on a wimpy looking robin, his appetite vanished.

Bearfluff paused, panting (I'm thinking we timeskip training so things can get moving?), "Yes. I think that's enough for one day. You've both come along in you training. I'm proud." he gave his apprentice a playful swat with his paw before shaking out his pelt and composing himself. "Perhaps Rabbitstar will be awake now." he led the patrol back to camp, suddenly dreading the conversation with his leader that was to come. It would make it final. Real. His clanmates were gone, and they weren't coming back anytime soon. Bearfluff stiffened and held back a growl, branching off from the group to find Rabbitstar as soon as his paws hit the camp clearing.He quickly found the bright molly in a sea of browns and greys and picked his way over, straightening up. "I'm here, Rabbitstar," he called, padding to stand a few pawsteps from her. He swallowed, glancing at Whitelightning. "I'll let you finish before I interrupt on your conversation farther." the thickset tomcat sat down, his paws pressed together as he waited, his mind churning with how he was to tell her, or better yet, tell her how he planned to get his family back.

After speaking with Rabbitstar Bearfluff clawed his way up the place where his leader made announcements, the action sending a chill up his spine. I'll have to do this one day.. The thickset tom looked around camp, cats milling about as the sun sank behind the pines, casting an orange glow across the sky. He opened his maw and the familiar call rang about the camp, echoing off trees and calling back at him, "Let all cats of Summitclan join me beneath the Whispering Cave, Rabbitstar and I have an important announcement to make to all of you."


[whispering cave is just something I made up at the moment since calling it 'the cave' sounded dull. It's the Leader's den I believe.]

Reedstrike shouted Opalblossom's name proudly, forgetting the missing cats entirely for a second. He let the ceremony end and everyone get back to what they were doing previously, but his mind snapped instantly back to the missing cats. Summitclan had to be behind it, they always were. Nasty pieces of fox-dung. His attention went to Ripplestar instantly, but he was already retreating inside his den, he didn't want to disturb him. Instead, he gazed around the camp curiously, trying to see how others felt about the situation. Usually, he was a reasonable mind, but when it came to their rival clan everything was impulsive and reckless. Especially in this situation, his clanmates were missing, possibly harmed. He moved to get something to eat but his gaze settled on his apprentice. "Are you alright, Sagepaw?" he asked softly as he made his way over, his attention directed on the young apprentice but otherwise searching the camp.

Hornetpaw groaned, his paw lifting to pathetically bat his mentor away before lifting his head groggily. "It's morning already?" he questioned, blinking his eyes open to gaze at the black tom. As much as he was tired, the sun shining in his eyes was a wake-up call and he'd rather not get on his mentor's nerves today. Slowly, he lifted himself from his nest, shaking his fur and then stretching as he followed Antdusk out of the den. "Does it seem quiet, empty, to you?" he asked his mentor as he looked around.

"Past morning, there's a meeting. Come along." He flicked Hornetpaw with

Softpaw gently sighed as the meeting ended and the yowling of the new warrior's name
subsided. She glanced at the sun setting over the water. It was beautiful, wasn't it, but
she shouldn't care about that! Some of her clanmates were missing. She had to care. N
o admiring the sea. She slipped into the tunnels until she found the apprentices den, f
alling down into her nest. She didn't feel quite hungry. She could probably just have a b
igger breakfast tomorrow...

Silvertail nodded at the white she-cat and began grooming his paws. The call of Bearfluff piqued his interest. "C'mon let's go see what's going on," he purred to Whitelightning before getting to his paws and heading to stand under the entrance of Whispering Cave.

Her ears swiveled back at his words but she nodded anyway. "Yeah, it would be suspicious if I stayed out so late," she agreed although she didn't want to leave. Her tail hung limply as she got to her paws. She tried not to look so sad as she grinned slightly. There would be no point in being sad over leaving anyway, she could just see him tomorrow. "I'll see if I can catch a rabbit or something tomorrow," she purred, waving her tail thoughtfully.

Opalblossom - warrior’s den - Tags: open

She could hear the sounds of cats moving around outside as she entered the den and began walking around, keeping head close to the ground and her whiskers fanned in an attempt to keep from walking into someone’s nest. It occurred to her that she didn’t have a nest yet so she sat down again. When a kit was made into an apprentice all the other apprentices usually got together to make them a new nest and she’d sort of expected being made a warrior would be the same deal. She sighed and got up again, walking over and laying down in a nearby nest, it was already claimed, she could smell the scent of another warrior but it was stale so she guessed it belonged to one of the missing warriors, hopefully they wouldn’t mind her borrowing it. A part of Opalblossom wanted to go out and start hunting for feathers and soft moss so she could make her own nest but going into the forest with so many cats missing sounded eery so she resolves to wait till the nest day.

A small smile touched the corners of his muzzle. He didn’t want their time together to come to an end but seeing her acting just as reluctant to leave as he was to see her go made him feel a bit better. At least she was coming back, he reminded himself, feeling some of the gloom lighten, it was nice to have something to look forward to. “I’ll be here.” He promised, and then, after a moment of hesitation moved closer to Fernsnap and rubbed his head against her side before stepping back and began walking away towards the tree line. “See you around Fernsnap, stay safe.” He meowed over his shoulder, pausing to look back at her one more time before continuing on his way to his den. He’d almost forgotten the whole reason she was here was to bring him prey. They’d only hung out a short while but he was already fairly certain if anything happened to her it wasn’t the prey he was going to miss about their visits.

The tips of her ears ran hot at Redfur's touch and she found herself shocked as he walked away calling out some final words to her. She didn't even know what he said, she was so shocked at the affection. Quickly, she shook herself from her daze and began her brisk trot back home. She could come out tomorrow and the next day to see Redfur so she didn't feel the bitterness of their goodbye for long. Instead it was quickly changed to uncertainty. How was she supposed to go back to camp with no prey and while so many cats were missing? What would she tell her clan if the asked where she had been? Her fur stood on end and her ears remained vigilant as she neared the camp. She had thought up a way to hopefully get in undetected. Carefully, she crept down a rocky outcrop on the shore and moved down the beach in the darkness. Her eyes watched for any movement and she quickly slipped into camp before anyone noticed her outside the walls. The clan seemed to be a dazed stupor as they mingled about. It seemed none of the lost cats had been found by the look of it and Fernsnap couldn't help but feel guilty. How could she abandon her family in the time of need to fraternize with a rogue?

Sagepaw stiffened as his mentor approached, his mind racing. 'Ugh, did Thornbreeze rat us out?' the fur along his spine prickled, threatening to stand and giveaway his anxiety. The young tom forced himself to remain calm and plastered a small grin on his maw, "As alright as I can be I suppose," he murmured, his faux grin melting away as he watched his mentor. Empathy washed over him and he shifted while trying to find the right words, "Uhm- how is Ripplestar, does he think Summitclan has something to do with this?" he could tell by the way Reestrike seemed distant that he was worried for their clanmates. Sagepaw didn't know what else he could say to console the troubled tom and remained quiet, pushing the bird to the side.

After a heavy silence as his clanmates gathered at his call, he swallowed hard, anxiety prickling at his fur. "As you all may have suspected, quite a few of our clanmates have been missing since moon-high. It is now Sun-down and there are no sign of them. Tomorrow morning, before sun-up, I will be taking another patrol to the neutral woods by Shoreclan and looking there. If you wish to be apart of this patrol make sure you are awake and ready. On another note, the cat's who are missing are; Nettlepaw, Foxwhisper, Hollowmoon, Cosmospetal, and Bramblekit." his voice was troubled as he spoke, but his body remained calm and expressionless. "We will find them, and bring them home. Now, go get something to eat and get a good night's rest, all of you." his deep mew rang out through camp as he closed the meeting, sitting down with a 'hmph' as his clanmates dispersed.

indent"Opalblossom! Opalblossom!" Heatflight had called with the rest of his clan at the new warrior, smiling politely. It was nice to see a new Warrior be made of a talented apprentice. At the end of the ceremony and meeting, he said goodbye to Tinyseal and stretched for a moment. The tom himself was tired, so he would follow Ripplestar's words. He headed into the Warrior den, flicking his tail welcomingly to Opalblossom before curling up in his own nest and tyaking a rest.

indentHis ears pricked in surprise as they heard Bearfluff call a meeting. Flickerpaw already bounced off to listen to the tom's words, so they glanced about the clan before eventually settling beside Silvertail, of course giving the tom space. Birdpaw looked at the floor of the camp, listening carefully to Bearfluff's words. So they are missing... they thought quietly, pelt bristling lightly when he heard that Foxwhisper was gone. How did she manage to get lost? Not her, definitely not her! Birdpaw frowned but nodded their head as the meeting ended. With nothing much else to do, they moved to the apprentice's den and plopped down in their nest, quietly upset.
