SunClan's Story [New Thread]

Raccoonstrike nosed his way through the grass until he reached the water's edge. There was plenty of moss, so he bent and clawed up strips to make a nice pile. The only problem was that it was slightly damp from the spray of the creek, but it would dry swiftly. The young tom lapped at the water for a moment, realizing his thirst. He continued to carefully pull up the moss. "I bet all those feathers from that eagle's body would be great bedding too." he commented, only just remembering it himself.

"They would be. We can go back through where it attacked us the other day, there was tons of feathers all over the place there." Appleleaf scrapped up moss herself. As Raccoonstrike took a drink, she noted the wound was healing nicely and they should be able to carry on with in the next day or so. And that his pelt looked cleaner than earlier, shiny from the sunlight.

Pebblerun padded over to Pineclaw. " Thank you for telling me what you were planning, Pineclaw." She said with a little sigh. She added a little shake of her head, but there was amusement in her eyes. " Next time, tell me what you want done and I'll get you more cats." She advised.

Cloudstrike walked into camp, a rabbit, sparrow, and two mice in his jaws. He set them on the make-shift prey pile and looked around. " What is going on?" He asked aloud.

{ last post for tonight. }

The young tom nodded in agreement. He gathered up his moss, tucking it neatly under his chin. "Ready to go back?" he asked Appleleaf, twitching his tail. The tip of it trailed in the stream and he immediately flicked it out, dripping on both him and the medicine cat. "Sorry!" he exclaimed, curling his tail close and shaking the water drops off his nose. "Didn't mean to get you wet." he smiled at her, a bit embarrassed. "Shall we?" he padded forwards, heading for the makeshift camp.

"Mrrw!" A little annoyed mew rose from her throat as little water drops flicked over her. "It's fine." She smiled shaking the water from her pelt. "We shall." She picked up the moss and shook the water from it and started walking back.

Pineclaw shrugged, looking over at Pebblerun. "Didn't see you," he replied indifferently. It was the truth, but he couldn't say he'd looked. He wasn't used to answering to anyone but Foxstar. Wasn't sure he wanted to get used to it, either. Not too long ago, he and Pebblerun were of equal rank. He couldn't help but resent the way Eaglestar had demoted him. Pineclaw turned away, pushing the pile of dirt and wood away from the entrance. The den was as clean as it was going to get--now he just needed to wait for the warrior and the medicine cat he'd sent to return with bedding.

"Pineclaw!" Appleleaf called as she cantered back into camp. In her jaws, she dragged a pile of moss and feathers from the eagle she had collected by detouring through the site of the attack. She dropped the pile at Pinecalw's paws. "Are you okay?" she looked at the tom's troubled expression on his face.

Redfern looked at pineclaw then trotted off to where he had heatd about the eagal attack he grabbed a bunch of feathers in his mouth and returned to pineclaw "hee you go some feathers for the nest."he purred proud of himself for just helping

[TheCalicoTabby]

{Have to head to bed now. Be back tomorrow!}

"I'm fine." replied Pineclaw, forcing a smile. "Thanks for the moss. ...and the feathers." he added as Redfern approached. He looked back at the stump. "Just need to put the nest together and it'll be ready for the kits." At that, his smile became more genuine.

Robinchaser yawned and padded towards the stream; which happened to be the one Mintsplash was headed to currently. He looked around and walked for a while.

Mintsplash pricked her ears as she heard the soft footsteps of a cat. She opened her mouth to taste the air, hoping that it was a clanmate, not a rogue or kittypet. To her relief, it was just the familiar scent of Robinchaser, apparently heading in her direction. "Hi Robinchaser!" the she-cat chirps. She paces around the stream, hoping to find a fish to catch. 'It doesn't look like the fish are coming today, Mintsplash.' she told herself sadly. Just then, as if her wish was answered to, a silver gleam catches her eye, making a small "splish" in the water. Mintsplash quickly crouched over the river, tail high, and her paw slowly creeping up just above the small fish. Just the moment that the fish paused to take in some air, Mintsplash whispered "Now!" and slid her paw into the stream, and was delighted to find the fish flopping around on the soft grass. She purred in triumph and quickly ended the small creature's life with a killing bite.

"Eww." Mintsplash muttered as she stared at her muddy paws. She soaked her paws into the gentle stream to clean them. The she-cat stared at the sky-it was a great day, and she was starting to feel a little worn out. Mintsplash decided that it wouldn't do much harm if she took a little swim, so she slipped into the stream and sat there for a moment, feeling the current of the stream lapping at her fur. Her tail flicked when she felt something slippery against it, and dove underwater to see a school of the little silver fish. 'Score!' She thought to herself. 'This could feed the whole clan for a day or so!'. She rose to the surface to take in a lung-full of air before plunging into the water to try and catch as many fish as possible.
