Sable| Male| Loner| 28 Moons| Location; abandoned campground/hunting grounds | tags; open
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The tom-cat known as Sable was roused awake by soft sunlight streams peaking through the various holes that were in the tattered tent that where littered around the abandoned campground. The male stretched from the various amounts of tattered clothes that he has collected from the various abandoned tents that where in the surrounding area that he has called home. The tom-cat shook himself awake and he cleaned himself before he set out for his daily catch as the prey he normally caught where fatting themselves up for the coming cold days and night. Deciding himself presentable for the day, he padded out of the large gaping hole that was left from the constant weathering of the material that the tent was made out of.
Sable passed various colors and sizes of tents that where decaying from age, abandonment, and the weathering as they where left in such an open space. They have been here ever since the black tom-cat has been living in this area. But they where in much better condition when he first arrived in the campground. He padded towards the dark and lush undergrowth of foliage that provided him the cover that he needed to stalk his prey. Sable sniffed trying to find a scent of his prey in the air hoping for a nice plumb mouse or two, maybe even a vole. He wasn’t a very picky eater. Put he did need to prepare for the coming months as the weather is going to be getting colder and unforgiving. Especially with the white stuff that falls from the sky when it gets super cold. Shaking his head, he kept his senses alert and crouched down low as he heard something brush by a nearby bush. Eyes narrowed, he hid in the dark underbrush as he watched as a nice plump mouse was seen by the cat. Steadily creeping towards the prey, he watched his footing for he could alert the mouse. He got as close as he can, before he launched forth and pounced onto the mouse, before it could even react. It died with a squeak as Sable carried it to his makeshift home.
The black cat knew he wasn’t the only one around this part of the forest of course, but he had no idea for what was going to happen in the coming days. He had no idea that he was going to have a family to call his own. No need to fend for himself...

She was only a kit back then. She was a naive kitten, and she had no idea of what happened to her parents on that patrol. As she was with another queen that was taking care of her, as he mother went out onto a patrol with her father in the early morning. It was supposed to be a nice and easy hunting patrol. Nothing was supposed to happen at that abandoned campground that was sometimes full of two-legs. She was supposed to see her parents in the patrol as they came back. But they where down two cats as they arrived. Snowpaw constantly asked the two warriors that went onto the patrol, but they just looked at her with sympathy. She remembers that on that same day that Ashstar came to her in the nursery to tell her that her parents went missing and where presumed to be dead. She was horrified about the news. The ceremony was held later that night in remembrance of her parents...
Snowpaw woke up with a start in her nest that was in the medicine cat den. She remembered that day well. It will stick with her for as long as she is alive. Yes she is sad about her parents disappearing, but she knows that her parents would‘be wanted her to continue on without them, and to preserve on with her memory of them not being a sad one, but a happy one, instead. That’s why she took it upon herself to become the medicine cat apprentice. To help every cat that needed help. And to keep herself busy as to not dwell on her missing parents.
The she-cat shook herself awake as she cleaned her fur to get rid of all the moss clinging to her white fur from her sleeping. She noticed that while she was sleeping, she had apparently made it out of her moss nest and ended up on the floor if the medicine den. She was glad that no one had noticed that for she would’ve been embarrassed to no end.”Thank StarClan no one saw me like that..” She spoke softly to herself as the call of Ashstar broke her out of her thoughts. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath the Clanrock for a clan meeting!" She heard the leader call out into the clearing of the camp.
Her soft paw-steps treaded out of her den, as she listened out for the morning patrol list that Rushwing called out into the clearing. If someone where to get hurt on a patrol, it was her duty to help those in need alongside Bitterfang; her teacher of everything that was there to be learned about being a medicine cat.
