NightSky

Female - Crush: Timberpaw - tags: badgerstar, Honeybee, - mentions: ember haze

NightSky quickly whispered “okay.” to Honeybee before walking over
to badgerstar. These words struck NightSky. She felt sadness wave over
her. She knew badgerstar and emberhaze were fighting if she was to go
or not. NightSky managed to choke out “ O-oh. I didn’t realize that- maybe
I wasn’t wanted on the patrol.” She spatted it out quickly. “ I’ll just uh...
train the apprentices...” she said as she dipped her head then sat in a spot
alone in camp. She didn’t even care about her warrior name. She was really
hurt that either emberhaze or badgerstar thought she wasn’t good enough
to go on the patrol. Her eyes were clouding with tears. No, I’m not going
to make a scene. She thought. She gave a gulp and pretended to clean
herself. She gave a long sigh and glanced over at emberhaze. She looked...
satisfied. She guessed she was still thought of as a kit. But it just hurt so
bad that her own clan mates thought she wasn’t good enough for a simple
patrol. She tried to not show her sadness. She wanted to seem strong.
She wouldn’t even get to sit vigil. A storm of sadness stormed inside of her.

dealing with young cats was never something she enjoyed, they were either one extreme or the other, lazy or wild. she's had to deal with them when she was just as young and hated it. the immaturity and lack of sense. emberhaze rolls her eyes at badgerstar when he says he'll instead give nighsky a choice. of course he would, knowing full well the youngster would want to go scouting over anything else. the she-cat remains silent when the leader pads off to give the youngster the choice, but glares at badgerstar's back for a moment. how annoying this tom was. why does she trust him again? the ruddy female heads out after badgerstar and grumbles at the rain that once again soaks her the moment she leaves the den. though the tom doesn't outright say that nightsky wasn't wanted on the mission, it was still pretty clear considering they had been arguing and now hey were giving the new warrior a choice instead of just going. emberhaze doesn't really care that it may hurt feelings, her mind is set against having inexperienced youngsters running around outside the forest.

when badgerstar rejects the tradition of overnight vigil, even emberhaze's fur tingles. it was every young warrior's job to stand watch over the creek for the night, it was an outdated tradition, but still something youngsters look forward to. the she-cat remains silent on the matter though, any input from her would probably result in an argument which will take up valuable time. though she had expected nightsky to choose scouting, it wasn't much of a surprise she didn't. the young cat was always quite soft like her mentor, not wanting conflict. and of course weeping over lesser things. it was clear that the young warrior was holding back tears, but emberhaze didn't care, she was relieved that it will only be her and cedarwatch. at least now if things take a turn for the worst, she won't have to deal with having a green warrior to worry about. cedarwatch can at least defend herself, but if she's unable to then that's on her lack of skills and it's not emberhaze's problem the female didn't learn properly. emberhaze flicks her wet tail as she turns to head for her den, best to eat what she's hidden away so they don't spoil or get stolen.

at her den she downs two rats and is working on a squirrel while also making a map in her head of the area. she knows these woods better then anyone and has been outside the forest as a kit with her mother before they officially joined the clan. there was a place far upstream that could be a good spot, but it was a long trek, easily two days which is why she knew the mission will take longer then what badgerstar had planned. emberhaze wonders if her secret spot will still be around after the flood recedes, a place she use to go when she was an apprentice and needed to get away from the others stupidity. hopefully it remains untouched or at least intact, she can use a good time away from everyone once things return to normal and it stops raining.

Upon the ceremony concluding, the medicine cat turned to her apprentice once most of the cats had dispersed. "Emberhaze will be leaving on patrol soon, so we need to gather the cats we deem trustworthy enough and tell them about the vision." She told him very quietly, careful so that no one would overhear. That was the last thing they needed right now, more drama, more rumors. She looked over at the creek, knowing it could burst at any moment. Buzzardfeather felt a wave of worry course through her. What if the cats they chose weren't trustworthy? What if Badgerstar found out? She sighed deeply, forcing her fur to lay flat.

badgerstar felt an exasperated snarl escape his throat. was this newly made warrior just going to sit there and cry about a question he had asked her? any new warrior would have loved to be given a choice between two special tasks rather than sit the usual vigil. as nightsky fled the scene, badgerstar followed her. "nightsky, for the love of-" badgerstar closed his eyes, forcing his fur to lie flat and his claws to stay sheathed. "go on the patrol, nightsky. clearly if you're going to sit here and cry about it, you'll need this patrol to toughen you up." badgerstar growled. his green eyes shone with fury and annoyance, both at emberhaze and nightsky. he began to pad away before turning back to nightsky. "you don't have a choice anymore; you will be going on the patrol. now, go find cedarwatch, and get out of my fur." the black tom hissed ferociously, allowing the anger to take over him and feeling the white fur along his neck and chest rising before making his way to emberhaze.

"emberhaze. nightsky is going with you," badgerstar meowed firmly, raising his paw quickly to silence her and continuing before she could interrupt. "that is final. you will have these two cats accompanying you, and if you're still going to throw a tantrum about it, you can return to being a rogue." badgerstar spat, drawing closer to her threateningly. "not like it would be the first time, hm?" he added, making a jab at her former rogue life. anger was swirling in his belly, and he found it hard to not tear the nearest cats to shreds, but he knew that the anger wasn't entirely targeted at emberhaze. she annoyed him, sure, but nothing infuriated the large black tom more than a whiny, tearful warrior. how weak and pathetic!

honeybee padded away from nightsky and badgerstar, not wanting to be around her brother. taking one last glance at the two, honeybee made her way to the medicine den and poked her muzzle inside. "hello? buzzardfeather?" the petite she-cat mewed quietly, hoping not to disturb anybody. she crept in a bit more, taking in the sharp, tangy scents of herbs. the smell was powerful and overwhelming, and made honeybee a bit dizzy and caused her to sneeze. "i hope i'm not disturbing anything, i just wanted to see if you two wanted help with collecting herbs." honeybee continued after a couple heartbeats.

Nightpaw stood there for a while. She was
speechless. So now apparently she was going
on the patrol. She stood and waited for emberhaze.
She decided she wouldn't be talking much on this
patrol. She glanced over to see honeybee talking
to buzzardfeather. She much rather be helping them
than going on a patrol with one of the rudest former
rogue cat from the clan. She gave a slight roll of her
eyes and waited for emberhaze to come over and yell
at her to start going

Snowstrike felt a fly buzz around his ear as he flicked it away. The meeting ended and a new warrior was made. Cranepaw was somewhere and Timberpaw was following Snowstrike away from the meeting. The white tom was frustrated and tired of Badgerstar being so high and mighty. The rain was still spitting and at this point, nothing was dry. Brittlebounce was no where to be seen by Snowstrike and he hoped she just got lost in all the rainfall. He hoped something didn't happen to the oddly pelted she-cat. But, as Snowstrike settled across camp at the opposite side, Timberpaw settled down beside him in the seeping mud. Their paws were filthy and so were their spirits. No cat in the clan was becoming friends with the rain besides maybe Honeybee. As he his mind mentioned the sweet she-cat, his eyes traveled to find her within the crowd. Her small little body and kit like face. He smiled as he saw her, but he soon found Timberpaw dovey eyed over something else.

His sweet Nightpaw had gotten her warrior name and Timberpaw felt every inch of his body ache. He couldn't sleep in a nest close to her anymore, and soon enough she'd be the one bossing him around. He watched her stammer and tumble over her words as she was snapped at by Emberhaze and Badgerstar. He felt his claws pulse, but he didn't show his anger. He missed her already and knew that their already limited time together was going to become scarce. But he wished, that soon, his warrior days would come fast,

the she-cat was finishing up her meal and was gathering her travel herbs from where she stocks them in the back of her den. it takes a minute to get the little vine tied properly, tugging on it with her teeth while holding the other end with a paw. once ready, she heads out of her den, herbs now stored in a leaf to prevent the rain from getting to it. emberhaze had left for her den before badgerstar went after nightsky and ordered her back to the patrol so she wasn't around to hear the change. the she-cat bristles as badgerstar storms over to her when she leaves her den, he was clearly furious about something and when he starts speaking, she too becomes angry. of course that little kit had to act all weak and pathetic, if only she had just sucked it up and dealt with not going on the mission. the ruddy she-cat growls at badgerstar when he makes a jab at her old life as a rouge. it hadn't been her choice, she was only a kit when her mother decided to go it alone. besides they joined the clan a few moons later, it's not like she was raised that way.

true, it angered her that he would poke at such a sore subject, but then again this was badgerstar. of course he wouldn't fight fair. plus it looks as if he was just itching for a fight, something she doesn't have the time nor energy to deal with. emberhaze may be angry at having to deal with poor excuse for warriors over the next few days, but she doesn't let it cloud her mind. besides, the tom wasn't the only one who doesn't fight fair. the she-cat gives a soft huff of a laugh and blinks slowly at badgerstar in a teasing way, the tied up leaf in her jaws hindering her from speaking, but she doesn't really need to. emberhaze makes a point of keeping eye contact with the tom as she moves past him, but as soon as she gets close enough, she bumps her head against the side of his face before trotting off as if nothing happened. it wasn't really an affectionate touch, but it was a tease of one. just enough to confuse the tom and keep him that way for the several days she will be gone. who says females have to fight with teeth and claws?

emberhaze motions to nightsky and cedarwatch as she passes them, her demeanor changing to that of her usual grouchy self. it may be fun to mess with badgerstar, but she's still gotta deal with these two mouse-brains. the she-cat remains silent on their trek though the forest, still unable to speak with the herb-filled leaf in her mouth, but she doesn't want to chat anyway. the other two can chatter amongst themselves, just not with her. they should reach the willow tree meadow before nightfall so they can rest there for the night and continue on in the morning. though she would have kept going all night until she grew tired, emberhaze knows venturing into the forest at night with a green warrior is just asking for trouble.

Snowstrike blinked away a drip of water that slipped into his eyes. At this point, he didn't care. He turned his eyes to his brother, the little tom day dreaming, "Come on, we're going to go check the creek."
The tabby shook his head as he turned his yellow eyes up to Snowstrike, his own eyes hitting the bicolored rage that boiled in his brothers gaze, "Okay. Can we make it fast? I want to say goodbye to Nightsky.."

Snowstrike smiled, envious of the fact that even with their age gap that his brother was still connected to the new warrior, "If you want I'll go alone. I need to find Brittlebounce anyway. I don't care about this big fancy patrol." He stood and smiled at his younger kin and left him in the spitting rain. Everything was wet. His paws left marks in the mud and his tail was bristling as he pasted the bickering leader and his mini patrol to find better ground. He didn't say anything as he left camp, and if he was questioned, he was looking for Brittlebounce. Which, wasn't too far from the truth anyway.

Timberpaw watched his brother disappear behind the barrier of the clan. As this happened, he quickly stood and trotted over to Nightsky. She was standing in the group of cats she was assigned too, looking uncomfortable and angst. He greeted her with a nuzzle to her soft pelt, his yellow eyes beaming. They were pretty much the same height, besides his age. Timberpaw wasn't small for an apprentice and could be mistaken for a new warrior, too. He smiled at the she-cat, "I never got to say congratulations on becoming a warrior. How do you feel? I know you'll do great on this patrol, even if you don't want to go." His voice was soft and quiet, only loud enough for her to hear. He enjoyed her so much and really did want to be her mate in the future. But for now, he'd have to wait.

badgerstar was completely expecting the reddish she-cat to snap back with a stinging retort, which in turn would fuel his rage even more. so, naturally, badgerstar was flabbergasted when she just chuckled it off and blinked slowly at him, maintaining eye contact as she padded out of the den, traveling herbs secured in her jaw. was she... flirting? was she doing this solely to mess with him? as she left, badgerstar felt her soft fur brush against his face. the long-furred tom felt as though his paws were rooted to the ground, still staring at the spot that she had been sitting at, completely perplexed. his mouth felt dry, and he couldn't bring himself to say anything to her. not that it mattered, because when he finally dared to turn and look at her, she had left the camp. badgerstar frowned, and frustration made his pelt prickle. that was so unlike emberhaze, what was she thinking? in spite of his frustration, badgerstar felt something as emberhaze left the camp entrance. was it... longing? i wish she didn't have to lea- badgerstar hissed out loud and shook his pelt, furious that his mind had even uttered those thoughts. no way!

alright fellas there's gonna be a timeskip of a few days as requested right here !!

ignoring the persistent and confusing feeling ever since emberhaze left a few sunrises ago, badgerstar marched into the clearing, narrowing his eyes into slits and looking around. his pelt was still prickling with all the thoughts whirling in his mind, and he knew he needed something to get emberhaze off of his mind. with a growl rumbling deep in his throat, badgerstar spotted the apprentices, doing nothing useful with their time. "timberpaw, cranepaw, brindlepaw, hawkpaw!" he called sharply, raising his voice over the quiet activities and interactions going on within the camp. "come to me!" he ordered briskly.

Timberpaw heard the howl of his leader and his eyes turned to Nightsky in fear. His brushed past her, uttering a faint bye. He found himself standing before Badgerstar, standing straight up and tall. His tail low and his yellow eyes blank. Though, within he was terrified of what was going to happen. How was he supposed to be doing anything when his mentor hadn't even tried to train him? His mentor hadn't taken him out of camp at all recently, so all Timberpaw has had to do is sit around and wait for a command. Finally, though, a flame bristled in his chest. Maybe, hopefully, he'd be able to do something that wasn't apprenticeship like. He doubted warriorship, he was only 8 moons old. Creeping up to 9. Maybe, but maybe, he'd be able to do something worth his time. The fear in his chest melted into hope.
