➵ The white and grey ragdoll was sitting by the entrance to camp, watching the warriors pile in from the fight. Her injured leg sticking out awkwardly as she took a rest from standing and walking on it. She was briefly lost in thought when Snowstar came up to her. "Hmm? Oh, the fox took a good bite on my leg, and I have a few scratches and gashes." Emberpelt slightly folded her ears back as she continued. "Aspenheart needs help first, as well as Fawndapple. I'll live and wait." She sighed internally and glanced over to where Bearstep had snapped at Foxclaw, then to where Darkleaf and Reedpaw were helping their clanmates. It looks like I may not be the only one getting chewed out.. She respectfully looked back towards Snowstar so that her leader knew she had the warrior's attention. If I even get chewed out? Hmm.. | ((That's okay, I was at work all day xD Super busy omg))

the molly let a sigh of relief escape her jaw as she glanced around the familiar camp, glad to be home after such an exhausting fight. she looked over at sootspeck before removing herself from leaning on his shoulder and giving him a nod of thanks, you better go see to those wounds, don't want them to get nasty." her voice was tired but determined as she offered a small smile and turned to see redoak stumbling over to see the two beaten cats. though when he finally reached them, she felt as if the tom's attention was fully focused on her. uh oh... he's mad at me! she frowned slightly and looked away for a few heartbeats, trying to avoid his most likely angry stare. but to her surprise when he spoke his mew was only edged with worry and was that...pain? she snapped her head forward and met his eyes for a moment. she felt as though her entire stomach had flipped over as she heard the frantic deputy speak to her. she gulped hard, and stared at her paws feeling almost like a kit being scolded by its mother. that's when it hit her, like a heavy blow to the head she began to realize what she had failed to see before now. redoak cares for me... she perked up slightly and tried her best to manage her emotions unlike him. fawndapple heard his voice crack multiple times before he finally let his voice trail off. the embarrassed look on his face and the fear scent that surrounded him could have carried her off her paws, she thought to herself before leaning over and pressing her nose gently into his soft chest fur, "silly mousebrain..." she breathed slowly, taking in his scent before leaning back with gentle blue eyes on him. "i'm fine now. you haven't lost me yet." she twitched her whiskers in amusement, her enthusiastic self coming back to her, "i'll be here for many more moons to bother you yet!" [*sniff* *sniff* cx]

foxclaw looked on with satisfaction at the finished nest that lay by his paws. he gave a small nod of his head to show that he was listening to tinder before looking up at her curiously. nothing good ever starts with 'can I ask you a question' he thought quietly to himself while listening to the she-cats words. he felt an awkward and uneasy feeling wash over him, not knowing if he really wanted to tell her why he had been on their side. will they think i'm not a real warrior? he sighed with a shake of his head,"i just know how you feel is all. being out their alone can be pretty rough..." he murmured quietly and began to start the other nest for speck.

the tabby toms smiled flickered away as she left, he looked to aspenheart. he sat up, turning his leg so he could move forwards. he sniffed the molly. she had a few wounds, and her wpaw looked bad as it was. he sniffed it, lightly poking it with his nose. "Exaugstion? Twisted paw?" he listed quietly, not sure if aspenheart was listening "Why would you go after that fox anyways?" he murmured softly. He still wanted to be with doepaw, so he wanted to get this over with. But he knew better than to treat one cat better than the other.

her eyes watched as bearstep helped aspenheart into camp. she felt relieved and looked back to foxclaw, he was with that loner again. she trotted over to the two, due to being bored. she came over and gave glances to both the cats "If you need help, just ask." she looked to the loner and cocked her head to the side slightly "And I never caught your name." she straightened her head again, flicking an ear. she didn't want to hate the loner, even though she already didn't like her bossy attitude. she needed to learn her place.

Her eyes examined the bedding she had put together before she lifted her head and met his gaze briefly. "I see..." she mewed in a quiet tone and open her jaws to say another statement when another she-cat padded over to the duo. Her ears twitched at the question she bared. "Tinder." she mewed in a polite voice though a bit of annoyance was escaping through her gaze so she switched her stare back towards Foxclaw. "The other she-cat I came with is Speck. Speck is like a sister to me. I would do anything for her." she mewed in a quieter fashion as she drifted into slight memories of the good old days. Her mind flashed a dark grey.
~memory start~
I carefully peered around a corner of an old up-walkers home. I was scared, Petrified actually. My mother was struck by a up-walker-monster. I couldn't get it through my head that she had died. She can't be dead..., I'd think, She can't be... I'm only 6 moons... I can't live on my own! I want my mom back!. I'd cry into my mind but remained emotionless on the outside. My mind buzzed with hundreds of thoughts as I continued down the dark alleyway. The dusk sky started turning a purple color. It would be night soon and I needed to get someone soon before the night came. Stray and feral dogs, other cats, rats, up-walkers, you name it, were out in the alleys when it got dark, searching for a victim to kill next. Though that was what her mother had taught her to keep her from exploring to much. Her eyes darted to where the next corner of alley was. She peaked her head around and when she thought it was all clear, she headed off. Getting out of the alley as quick as she could, she made it out onto the main path. Watching as up-walkers passed by, hurrying like her to escape the night-life. She was oddly content, her mind was blank until a blood-curdling yowl came from somewhere on the thunder-path. Her eyes darted towards it, cars raced by with up-walkers rushing home and a little kit sat in the middle of the thunder-path. It was the cat I would come to know as Speck. My little baby sister Speck.
I rushed out into the traffic, not thinking what would happen to me. It wouldn't matter anyway right? Mother is gone. I have nothing left to live for anyway. I thought sadly to myself as I blindly dodged the monsters until I made it to the small kit. She looked no other than 2 moons. She was scrawny and looked beat-up. As quick as I could, I scooped her up and pelted for the other end of the thunder-path. Once I arrived there, no more than scratched pads, I set the small kit down and licked her head, curling around her to keep her small body warm. "Are you okay?" I quietly mewed. The small kit nodded her head and dug her head into my chest. "I'm Tinder." I spoke with a quiet breath. "I'm Speck..." she quietly squeaked into my chest, her voice muffled slightly by my fur.
~memory end~
She returned from her daze, her eyes darted away from Foxclaw, seeing as she must have been blankly staring at him the whole time. "S-Sorry about that..." she mewed in apologie. "I just... Nevermind, you's wouldn't understand anyway..." she mewed to the two cats and sighed, standing from her spot and look towards Foxclaw again. "Thank you... You really didn't have to you know... Help us that is." Her gaze showed no emotion but kindness flowed from her eyes.

Redoak's eyes locked with Fawndapple's until she nuzzled his chest. His chest pelt hot like fire, where she touched it. His pelt yearned to nuzzle her back and stay like that forever. His mind whizzed with thoughts. She's just a clan-mate... Just a cla-... Gah what are you kidding yourself Red! You know she's not just any clan-mate. His whole body felt as if it was on fire now when he reached her gaze again. He tried to spit out a few words but he couldn't do it for the life of him until he forced a few words out. "I-I'm so-orr-y... u-uh... I-I kin-d o-f over re-eacted..." he managed to mew, regaining his posture and forcing his mind blank of his thoughts about Fawndapple.

[I love Tinder and Speck's story hngh.
I honestly just made it up and I
love it ;u;! This also kind of explains
to you guys why Tinder is always
in a calm, emotionless, state.

and redxfawn though ;v;
I'm crushing so hard rn.
Red is in denial for liking
fawndapple but he's forcing
himself to think that she
is just any normal clan-mate.

gah ;U; That was a lot
to write!]

Newtpaw

He chuckled, and glanced over at Redoak. Cringing slightly, he smirked at Speck "The names Newtpaw. Catch you are, beautiful" he meowed, and got up, walking away from her and directly towards Redoak. He smiled at Fawndapple. It was a childish smile, a cute one "Excuse me, Fawndapple. But I'm gonna have to borrow Redoak for a few moments. Thanks!" He meowed before either could respond, and he dragged Redoak away, well, more like nudged him away, from Fawndapple. When they were out of earshot, he shook his head "Listen, Red. You are destroying your charm. You look like a stuttering mess" he meowed, glancing over at Fawndapple "Just play it cool. Act like you know what your doing, and just go with the the flow. N-n-no-t-t li-ke t-t-t-this" he meowed, and smiled at him "Trust me, I am the expert when it comes to mollies. Now, pick up your feet, Redoak!" He meowed boldly, and padded back towards Fawndapple, leaving Redoak dazed "Sorry, m'lady. I'll be taking my leave" he meowed, and cast her a grin before trotting back towards the fresh-kill pile, like nothing ever happened.

fawndapple's whiskers twitched in disappointment when she saw the guarded look and expression on the toms face. she forced herself to smile and lifted her injured paw lightly off the ground, the pain of it had began to fade, which was a good thing... by why wasn't she happy about it? she looked away from redoak considering the option to just get up and walk away. honestly, she didn't know what to think anymore, she had thought that he might have a bit of feelings for her but now it seemed like she had been wrong. ugh, why did I have to go and do that? i'm so stupid." she frowned at her thoughts and heard soft paw steps approaching. she looked up to see newtpaw, wearing the same grin that he always had as he approached the pair of felines. she raised a brow as he offered a smile and started to push redoak away, saying that he needed to 'borrow' him. she gave him a small nod, sure, why not. I don't care anyways! but deep down she knew that this was a lie and that she did, in fact, care about the clan deputy more than she did other toms.

foxclaw was relived when ebonycloud returned and the loner asked no more questions. he flicked his tail behind him and was about to answer the black warriors question but then caught himself, what are you doing? he wondered and kept his jaws shut and went back to the nests while remaining quiet. his ears perked up at the part where she mentioned speck and how he would do 'anything' for her. just like a warrior would do for his other clanmates? would you die for her? he pondered and looked up to find her staring at him with distant eyes. she looked to be in some kind of memory and he looked away awkwardly. he glanced at ebonycloud, seeing a bit of his own confusion reflected in her eyes. he shrugged his shoulders with a sigh and then tinder broke out of her trance. he heard her apology and felt like she was holding something back. the male considered mewing 'try me' but decided that the other clan members wouldn't be very impressed if he was caught sharing secrets with out side cats. he met her gaze for a quick moment, "no need to thank me really, wasn't that big of a deal." he cleared his throat as he tried to sound like any other warrior would when being thanked.

The tom stood ridged, stunned by the smaller toms small speech. He was so utterly stunned he still couldn't say a word. As the tom nudged him back over towards Fawndapple, he still stood as still as a rock. He let a small noise escape his jaws as they gapped open. "U-uh..." he stuttered slightly, trying to take the small toms words into consideration with his situation. "U-uh... L-lets... go and ge-t you patched up I guess a-and yeah." he tried to remain as calm as he possibly could in a situation like this. Redoak was never the one to show his feelings this open but Fawndapple made that possible somehow whenever he was around her.

Her eyes casted downwards, unable to meet the toms gaze once again. "No, Foxclaw really. You don't know how much it is to use for what you did. Me and Speck... We.. We never really had a good life." she sighed, not wanting to really bring up their past as of right now. "I... rather not talk about it right now." she mewed in a quiet tone, hoping they would understand. "None the less... Speck does mean a lot to me. As long as she's safe, then... I'm okay. I'd literally do anything for her. I'd die for her... I'd search for her forever if she ever got lost." her feelings started filing out one by one and she quickly closed the cover on them. She cleared her throat slightly and instantly started to go back to work on the bedding.

[I'm crying right now xD

fawndapple's sat by herself in the middle of the clearing, feeling awkward as her clanmates passed by her with curious stares at why she was like that. a deep sigh escaped her muzzle ad she sifted her weight on her paws in boredom. she comtemplated leaving many times but she knew that she would never do that to a clanmate, let alone doing it to redoak. the dappled molly felt warmed by the sun rays that rested on her back, making her feel a bit better. after a while, she noticed that the clan deputy was heading back over to her. she perked up slightly, wondering if something had changed but when he just mentioned a trip to the medicine den she lost that bit of enthusiasm, "sure, might as well." she mewed and limped off towards the den with her head lower than usual. at that moment in time she was glad that her lack of energy and not being her normal self would just be passed off with the excuse that she was tired from the fight.

foxclaw shook his head, insisting that he didn't find it to be such a big deal but he didn't say nothing more until she brought up her sister once more. he listened to her speak with longing. longing to have someone to care for like a sibling or any kin in the clan, just as she did with speck. what are you thinking mouse-brain? you do have something to care for! you have your clan tobe thinking about! he scolded himself and turned towards her, "that is how all of us feel about our clan. warriors would give up their lives to protect the clan, and many have in the past. its what gives us a purpose in life." he meowed with a nod to ebonycloud, hoping that she would agree with what he was saying.

❄ "sorry to have interrupted your little time with your friend over there." aspeneheart rasped as she lay carefully on a cool nest of moss. casting a grateful glance at bearstep as he loped away, she returned her attention to the medicine cat apprentice, who had started with the questions.
"the shoulder's a bit bruised, i'd say. it's been holding me down quite a bit." she noted, rolling her shoulder. it earned her a wince.
"well, emberpelt out there looked like she was going to attack it herself! how could i let her?" aspenheart recalled, amused. her purring sounded a little off but otherwise was recognizable. she wasn't too bothered about her wounds.
