the smaller feline sat in silence as the tom finished his meal. her mind drifted from thought to thought, just as it always did when she was bored or had nothing specific to do. at first she was trying to think of new strategies to hunt with, she quickly came up with a way to possibly lure a bunch of squirrels or mice into one particular area so that they would be easy pickings. beech nuts or acorns would be good for that... but i'm sure it wouldn't work..." she said to herself before her mind wandered once more. her gaze fell on darkleaf and reedpaw's den for a reason she wasn't sure of. I wonder how they cope without having the companionship with their clanmates like we do? she tilted her head slightly to one side as an idea came to mind, I wonder if they ever wish they could have a mate or kits? it was a question that the molly had thought about many times before but was too hesitant to ask. the thought made her shake her head and she looked away to see that Redoak had started speaking to her and she nearly missed what he had said. immediate guilt swept over her as she pondered on what to say to the tom. what is there even to do in the boring camp? fawndapple searched the clearing for something interesting to do. "well I suppose pestering the elders for stories is out of the question, huh?" she joked in an attempt to cover for her awkward silence. the dappled cat offered a smile as she tried hard to think of entertainment, "and I suppose a walk wouldn't do..." she studied the tom's wounds and decided that it might be uncomfortable for the deputy to have to walk around in the forest. "wow, I guess I never realized how boring it is in camp. I have no idea really." fawndapple wrapped her tail around her paws neatly and raised a brow at the tom, wondering if he had any ideas.

the golden pelted tom followed the she-cat's gaze as she flicked her tail in the direction of a corner near the camp. a flash back of when he had first come to the clan appeared in his mind, the same corner I stayed in. he huffed quietly before dipping his head briefly to the white molly, feeling quite embarrassed that the clan leader had suggested that he had taken a liking to the loners. wasn't that a bad thing? he wondered to himself and felt snowstar's tail rest on his shoulder gently before bounding over swiftly to the high ledge. he sighed and turned to the two loners, speaking to them for the first time since he had voted for them to come back to the clan, "alright so... i'm gonna be over there." he flicked his dark ginger tail over to the spot where snowstar wanted them. "you can either come with me there or visit the medicine cat to treat your wounds, over there." he moved the tip of his tail into the direction of darkleaf's den. the tom felt awkward giving orders to any cat, but especially to the mollies because they weren't members of his clan. what am I going to do if they refuse to listen? he suppressed a shrug and trotted away to where the makeshift nests would be placed. knowing how cold it could get in the night time he began to study the shelter around the area. with only a few holes in the bramble wall nearby, he decided that it wouldn't be too hard of a task but he did want some company. foxclaw turned his cranium over to the black pelt of ebonycloud and bounded over to the molly, "hey, you want to help me make some nests? it isn't the most fun thing in the world, I know. but snowstar wanted another warrior to help me..." he asked in a friendly tone, wondering if the warrior would say no to the boring task at hand.

the tom smiled as she looked around, he had always been fond of doepaw, but he felt cozy in the small den. he sniffed around the herbs, looking to see what they were lacking. he soon found that they would need more burdock, and possibly some cobweb since they don't seem to have a lot of that. it wasn't often he went out of cob web. he normally just allowed it to collect in the corner of the den for easy harvesting. he dragged his lame leg to his side so he could sit down, with a small grunt. it was always hard for him to function with it, but he had adjusted mostly with it. "We may actually head out for some herbs..." he mewed, his eyes flicking to hers "we need to go by the river." he decided to let her agree before he had to get up again, since he didn't want to get up.

the molly sighed as foxclaw left, he was her one chance of normal conversation. she looked around quietly, watching the two loners. they were beaten, and seemed to her they were tired. she tried to catch a few words of what one of the mollies were saying, but couldn't due to distance. soon, foxclaw came back over. she felt a small spark of excitement that he may be finished, but then he brought of nests. she wanted to slash him in the nose with her claws, but instead gave a small chuckle. she didn't know, so don't ask. "Sure, why not...? I have nothing else to do anyways." she stood and stretched. her long, ebony fur warming in the light. she exited the shadows, her eyes having a soft, glow like feature in the light. she hated it. she squinted her eyes to avoid the sunlight, and so she could adjust.

❄ "but-!" aspenheart cut herself off before completing her protest; she knew it would be foolish and futile. she had to convince herself that emberpelt would be alright before hobbling off as fast as her paws could carry her. reaching a good distance before collapsing to pain, she let out a yowl of help through the forest.
"fox!" that one simple word should get the cats running, she thought. meanwhile, her vision dimmed. angry and refusing to give in, aspenheart hauled herself back onto her paws and limped towards camp.

((Testing a new layout:3))
➵ With much indecision, Emberpelt had to believe she did the right thing by sending Aspenheart back to camp. The warrior was tiring, and unsure of how much longer she could hold off the fox. Flicking her ears at the sound of a yowl, she heard Aspenheart call to the clan about the fox. Making sure the pest wasn't alerted, she leapt onto its head and scratched at its face. She clamped her jaws on its ear and locked her jaw, slinging her head as one would when snapping the neck of their prey. Upon hearing the screeching yowl from the fox, she felt satisfaction flow through her veins as she spat out a torn part of the fox's ear. The shecat dodged a few swipes from the fox and tried to leap away from a bite, but her limbs were weakening. Releasing a pained yowl, she looked back at her left hind leg and saw the bite marks from the fox. She attempted to stand, and found that her injured leg wouldn't hold her as well as it should. Emberpelt let out an angry hiss and slashed at the fox with her sharp claws any time it neared her. Someone hurry.. she thought through the pain.

The muscular tom chuckled at the joke though as he thought more about it, it honestly wouldn't be that bad of an idea. He let out a suppressed sigh when a yowl range through the camp, bouncing off rocks, trees, and dens and echoed around before it faded off again. He needed to go help. As his calling as the deputy, he needed to go. Pushing himself to his paws, his mind blocked out the pain from his wounds, the smaller scratches that lined his neat pelt had already scabbed over and were healing, besides his bruised rib, rolled ankle, and keep scratch on his spotted flank. He was fine. Fine as he defined himself, others, like Fawndapple, would say he was far from fine. "I'll... be back. Sorry Fawndapple." he mewed to the molly and forced himself to walk at a brisk pace until he had trotted half-way through the camp already.

Speck let out a heart-warming chuckle like the little 6-moon-old she-cat she was. "Tinder! Tinder!" she mewed in a lighthearted voice. "Can I go talk to some of the younger cats?" she asked with an excited mew but didn't wait for an answer and dashed off to look for some new friends to make. [wb]

Tinder calmly looked as Speck bounded away. Her spruce-brown orbs focused on her as she bounded around until she landed them on Foxclaw's russet pelt. She followed after the tom. Not saying a word to him, she didn't need to say anything really. The tom obviously didn't want to help them anymore than he already did. His face expression was slightly saddened when he looked over to where he had to build her and Speck's den. She watched him speak with the molly until she finally spoke up. "I don't quite understand why we must get our own den." she mewed to no-one in particular. Her brown eyes were focused on Foxclaw and the she-cat as she spoke. Forgetting about her wound for the moment.

The slender black tom spotted Aspenheart collapse far-beyond the camp in the forest. Quick as a squirrel. He skirted down the tree and bolted towards where he saw the she-cat collapse up in his tree. His legs burned as he pumped his muscles. Forcing himself to run faster and faster until he reached the she-cat. "Aspenheart." he let out a quick pant. "What happened? Where's Emberpelt? Where's the fox?" he spilled out questions like a trickling waterfall. "Hurry up and answer me!" he commanded. His pelt itched to fight the fox. He wasn't able to fight the foxes when Fawndapple and Redoak met them at first, he had to stay back in camp as lookout. Like always.

He suddenly heard a yowl. Distressed, a one in pain. It was Aspenheart. It wasn't anything good, either. He dashed over to Snowstar "Snowstar-!" He was suddenly cut off as the female stared down at him, and nodded her head. He nodded back, and turned, dashing towards the closest cat; Sootspeck. He skidded to a halt when he reached Sootspeck "Sootspeck. Come with me! I'll explain on the way!" He meowed, and dashed off towards the entrance, Sootspeck on his heals. He explained how he heard Aspenfrost, and how they had to go and find the fox. When they reached Aspenfrost, Bearstep stopped in front of the female "Aspenfrost? Are you alright? Was there anyone else with you?", he glanced at Nightwatcher, and shook his head "Lay off. She's hurt!" He snapped. Nudging the female with his nose as he realized she was dimming, her eyes rolling into the back of her head "Sootspeck! Quickly, follow her trail and trace it towards the fox! Ill bring her back to camp" He meowed, and helped Aspenheart to her feet, and helped her onto his back. She was light for a female of her strength, but he ran as quickly as he could back to camp.

She heard the yowl, and as soon as Bearstep came dashing towards her, she had nodded. She knew it meant terror somewhere, but she didn't know where. She leaped down from the rock as soon as Bearstep and Sootspeck ran out of camp "REDOAK!" She yowled, calling for her deputy, her ears perked as she waited for him, her tail lashing slightly.

She just smiled "Of course, Reedpaw. You might need a… a brave warrior apprentice to p-protect you" She meowed, her eye brows creasing slightly as she thought about it. Her a brave warrior? She could let herself believe.

Sootspeck was called upon by Bearstep, and soon he was charging out of camp after the older warrior. When Bearstep explained why they were racing out so suddenly, he nodded. When they reached Aspenheart, he smelt her blood, and saw her gruesome wounds. He winced slightly, and just grunted when Bearstep ran surprisingly quick for a cat with weight on his shoulders. He turned, and followed Aspenheart's blood trail. He soon found it. The fox was attacking something. It was the same size as Aspenheart, maybe a bit smaller, he didn't know, but it was a cat. Suddenly, it hit him. It was Emberpelt. He charged at the fox, yowling and screeching to try and get it attention. It turned its attention suddenly on him, and he leaped up, scratching its eyes and slicing its nose open, blood splattering the ground. As he reared, he leaped onto it's back, grabbing its scruff and holding on while he reached for its eyes and ears "Run, Emberpelt!" He yowled through its fur.

➵ Emberpelt knew she wouldn't be able to stand here forever, warding the fox off. Her leg was about to crumble beneath her when she saw a dark shape attack the fox. She was going to question it and figure out what it was until she heard a yowl coming from the figure. "S-Sootspeck? But.." Cutting herself off, she rushed off, following the trail from Aspenheart. She saw the figure of her clanmate laying injured on the ground, surrounded by a few cats. "Nightwatcher, Bearstep, someone needs to go help Sootspeck with the fox." The shecat winced from her leg and flicked her ears with mild irritation.

the small mollies ears perked up at the sound of a yowl coming from somewhere in the forest. fawndapple was about to comment on the tom's still consistent sighing, but she realized that the cat that had called was really in trouble. her eyes flashed in alarm as she looked at redoak with a worried expression. she saw the look in the males eyes and knew exactly what he was thinking. mousebrain! you're going to get yourself killed!" she opened her jaws to protest but he had already risen to his paws and started to limped quickly towards the forest. fawndapple rolled her eyes in annoyance and leaped to her paws, ignoring the pain that it sent through her paw. her clan needed her and she wasn't about to let a healing paw get in the way of that. the lithe she-cat raced as fast as she could to the deputies side and started to catch the stench of fox coming from somewhere nearby. fawndapple glanced sideways to redoak and looked at his wounds, he was no where near healed enough to fight a fox. an idea crossed the mollies mind, she didn't say anything out loud to the tom, knowing that he wasn't going to like it one bit. she inhaled sharply and knocked herself into the deputies side, sending him into a somewhat soft patch of grass. "you stay here! you can't fight a fox in your condition!" she yowled at him before whirling around and taking off towards the sounds of battle. she knew that redoak would be shocked at her sudden decision, she was still trying to figure it out herself as she bounded and hobbled as fast as she could manage. hopefully her plan would work and the fight would be over before redoak could reach them, but she knew that her last minute plan most likely wouldn't work. why did I even do that? she thought briefly before exploding through a bush, landing clumsily on her hurt foreleg. she spotted the tawny creature a few tail-lengths away and let out a screeching caterwaul before jumping onto the creatures back. she recognized sootspeck fighting alongside her and felt a bit of relief. he is fit and strong, maybe we will be able to drive this thing away once and for all.

foxclaw thought the molly was going to say no. the expression on her face was quite...angry? he raised a curious brow, afraid that the she-cat might attack him for asking such a stupid question, but then her mood seemed to change. he heard her chuckle and began to feel somewhat awkward. after a few heartbeats, ebonycloud finally agreed to help him and he let out a deep breath that he must have been holding. "okay, so I was thinking we cou-" the tom was cut off by a wail that came from outside camp. he tilted his head and perked his ears. someone was hurt! he took a step in front of the three mollies, for a reason he didn't really know why but he figured it must be his instincts to protect his clanmates. he watched as warrior after warrior filed out of camp to go help the distressed cat. he flattened his ears and glanced at ebonycloud and then the two loners. it was too late for him to go help now, too many warriors had left and he needed to help guard camp incase of invasion. he sighed and narrowed his eyes as he listened for any strange sounds. if we would have found the fox on our patrol, no cats would be hurt! if I hadn't made the patrol stop for the loners, we would have found the foxes! he gulped hard, great starclan! is this my fault?

The spotted tom stood ridged as Fawndapple called after him. He heard her words, they were sharp as stone and command for him to stay. He remained still as she whipped away as fast as her wounded leg could carry her. After a few moments, he released a breath he hadn't known he was holding. "I can't stay..." he drug back a pit in his stomach to stay in camp but Snowstar called his name none the less. "Stay safe Fawndapple." he breathed to himself, his pelt burned after realizing what he had just whispered to himself. Shaking his head, he trotted over to the snow-white leader. "Yes Snowstar?" the tom asked, returning to a more serious tone and demeanor.

Her eyes casted to the camp entrance where a dappled molly, the last of the cats who ran out to the fight, though she already seemed injured and the tom who was talking with her looked pained to watch her leave. Her eyes trailed back towards the tom called Foxclaw who was standing near her. His face expression showed great worry and distress. Her tail tip flicked side to side until she gathered up the little courage she had left and took a few paw-steps until she was besides the russet tom. "You seem distressed." she mewed monotone-like. "Your thinking this is your fault yes?" she asked with a curious glance, by the looks of how he was reacting to the situation, that must be what he was thinking. The patrol that found me and Speck were hunting for a fox I believe but he insisted on bringing us to camp instead of the patrol continuing the fox hunt.

the tom smiled but it was disrupted by a wail of obvious distress. his ears perked as he straightened himself, he gave doepaw a sad look as he quickly exited the den. he looked around quickly, but seeing nothing but the two loners, foxclaw, and ebonycloud. he sniffed the air, and the faint scent of fox came drifting from the forest. he gave a snort and turned to the den, where doepaw was "I-Im sorry... I can't go to the forest, so I'm stuck here anyways..." he felt useless all the sudden. His way of transportation was mouse dung. he gave a disappointed look "When they get here, I'm going to need to help some cats..."

the ebony female smiled slightly, but was shaken by a wail. she jumped up, claws unsheathed. she watched as foxclaw jumped in front of the three, taking her slightly off guard. she couldn't leave, not after a few warriors already left. her eyes flicked to foxclaw and sparked with furry. did he think she couldn't handle herself? she could fight just as well as any tom! she forced the though out of her head, considering that he was a very kind tom. he was simply defending those who were his clanmates. she took a step forward, slightly off from standing next to the tom "Another fox? those mousebrains went looking for the other fox that was leaving our territory anyways?" she couldn't help but let it slip as a small, annoyed whisper. she hoped foxclaw didn't hear her, but then she did. if they were to be friends, he would have to accept her for who she is. She noticed the loner come up to him and say something. Something like he was blaming himself. She narrowed her eyes and surpressed an annoyed snort. What right did that molly have asking warriors about their secrets? Even they didn't do that to each other. The loner was like an ignorant kit, not knowing what to say. She turned her head back to the entrance of camp and planted herself in front of the exit, still in camp.
