Cloverfoot responded with a groan at the mention of his name. His green eyes snapped open and he swept his tongue over his muzzle. "Is the camp on fire?" He growled with irritation. What was so important that some cat needed to bug him senseless til he woke up? He opened his jaws in a gaping yawn before turning to look at the tom beside him. "Oh, Fawnpaw, it's just you." He sighed and rose to his paws. It took quite an effort to stand, as his joints were beginning to ache with age. He angled his ears towards the entrance of the den, listening for the activity outside. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. "Yarrow, you say? Lovely. Put it with the rest of the supplies." Cloverfoot gave his legs each a quick stretch before leaving the den. Instant sunlight warmed his skin and he found himself purring with pleasure. Even in his older moons he never missed the joy clan life brought him. He sat down on his haunches just outside the medicine den entrance, waiting for his apprentice to join him.

Patchpaw's eyes fluttered open and her paws stretched in front of her. It took her a few heart beats before she realized she was lying in her nest in the apprentices den. When she gazed around at the practically empty den and heard the scuffling of paws outside she jumped up, flinging moss across the floor. Morning already? I'm late! She gave her pelt a quick shake and a few licks before heading outside. To no surprise patrols were already being set up and ready to go. Northblaze is going to kill me. Patchpaw sighed and drug herself to stand in front of the large tom she knew as her mentor. "Morning Northblaze," She mewed shyly. "Hope I'm not late?"

Ellie had crossed the border swiftly, and now started to dig into her mouse. The first bite was wonderful, delight coursed through her body as she licked her whiskers and glanced around her. She was surrounded by grass here, if someone tried to sneak up on her she would be able to hear them before they could pinpoint her location. Ellie took another bite, savoring the flavors of the forest. She then took another bite, leaving the tail of the mouse on the ground. She had never been fond of mouse tails. Ellie twitched her whiskers, and narrowed her eyes. The sun was just starting to come up, and Ellie was beginning to wonder more and more about Morgana's plan. Ellie did like the idea of tearing the clan apart, leaving all of that territory free for the taking. Maybe the rouges could ban together and form a group of their own, enforcing their own rules in this part of the forest. The silver she-cat purred, and rose to her paws. She started heading towards the stream, maybe she could practice some fishing.

Rosepaw padded out of the apprentice's den quickly after Patchpaw, she can't believe she had overslept! She just hoped that their punishments wouldn't be to severe. She now walked up to the two toms who were hers and Patchpaw's mentors, she met her own mentor, Ravenfeather, and lowered her eyes in dissapointment at herself. "Sorry for being late, Ravenfeather," She said. Hopefully they would still get to do something fun like battle training or hunting, because Rosepaw was really looking forward to stretching out her legs and using her claws today. Her warrior ceremony wasn't too far away, now. She couldn't wait for that day to come.

Northblaze nodded at Smallmouse, that idea was perfectly fine with him. He liked that the patrols would be splitting up, it would allow him to compare his apprentice's skills to that of another. Just as he was about to discuss with Ravenfeather where they should start hunting, Patchpaw and Rosepaw came rushing out of the apprentice's den. Northblaze couldn't help feeling a little bit dissapointed, especially since his apprentice was one of the older ones. They were just apprentices, all the same, though. He didn't think a punishment was in order, since they didn't oversleep very late. "Morning, Patchpaw," He said evenly. "You are a bit late, don't let it happen again," He said firmer than his morning greeting. He looked over both of the apprentices, before he rose to hise paws and said, "Today, Ravenfeather and I will be assessing you. Both of you are drawing nearer to your time as warriors, and this will be a great opportunity for you both. We will start with hunting," He said, glancing at Ravenfeather to make sure his information was correct.

-----as heatherflare bounced off in search of swanfeather, mistystar listened to northblaze's questions to ravenfeather and the latter warrior's response as well as his remarks to her. the leader's whiskers twitched; she thought she had made her intentions clear, but she must've caused some confusion. "yes, ravenfeather. i was recommending you join smallmouse's hunting patrol for the first half of your assessments, then split off, but whichever way you see fit is fine with me. i trust your judgement." you should have made it more straightforward. mistystar scolded herself in her mind. every slip-up, no matter how small, affected the white she-cat's confidence, but she always pushed twice as hard to make up for it.

-----mistystar watched smallmouse and her cats take off just as rosepaw and patchpaw arrived in front of their mentors. with everything pretty much sorted out, the leader looked at the two toms and meowed, "thanks, you two. i appreciate your hard work," before turning around and heading back to her den. just organizing patrols that morning left mistystar feeling worn out, and she padded over to her nest to groom herself for a while.

-----with new-leaf in full throttle, the she-cat hoped the change of weather would bring some pleasantness back to blazeclan. the cats all looked skinny and could use some fattening up, and the warriors needed to begin training their apprentices harder now that the snow had melted away from the training hollow. speaking of training, larkpaw needs to do learn some more battle techniques, mistystar thought. she swiped her paws over her ears to groom while pondering which moves she would teach him that afternoon.

-----the coolness of new-leaf caused the tabby tom's fur to bristle slightly, but sunlight was starting to shine from above the treetops with whispers of a brighter season ahead. bare-leaf was one of ashpaw's least favorite seasons, and the cold was especially tough this time around. some prey were still nestled away in their burrows, but many of the forest's creatures had begun to come outside. ashpaw found a source of fresh water and relished in the feeling of liquid cleansing his mouth from the rancid herbs. after satisfying himself, the tom sat back on his haunches for a second before trotting back to camp. he felt that his duties called, and he hoped he could still be useful, even with his scratched paw pad. ashpaw poked his head into the warriors' hollow, hoping to find his mentor stormfrost.

the shade of the trees was a good change from the warming sun, it allowed her a chance to cool off as she padded through the thin undergrowth, her ears on alert for any sign of prey. hunting was her specialty every since she was an apprentice. during her first hunt, she awed her mentor with a plump squirrel during the first few minutes. hunting is where smallmouse's self-confidence thrives on, as she isn't as skilled at combat, for her size always seems to get the best of her.
the feel of another pelt brushing against hers pulled her out of her train of thought. the dainty she-cat looked over to see dapplefur walking beside her. instantly she slowed her pace so that the two of them were in sync. "indeed it is," she purred. "if only everday could be like this," her soft, sing-song like voice echoed in the quiet forest. suddenly she stopped, her ears swiveling to catch the sound of something scuffling in the underbrush. out of instinct, smallmouse crouched down, and with slow movements crept closer to the tangled brush, and in one short second her small paw swiped out, catching ahold of a small rodent. as she pulled it closer, untangling it from the underbrush she saw that it was a rather plump mouse that could easily fill a cats stomach. she snapped it's windpipe quickly so it would feel no pain. proud of her kill, she quickly thanked starclan then buried the prey.

Dapplefur nodded her agreement as Smallmouse wished for everyday to be like this one. That would indeed be very nice; it would help prevent diseases from the cold, and hunger from no prey being out and about. Speaking of prey, shortly after Smallmouse finished talking, she crouched and pounced on a creature. After she had killed it, she thanked Starclan and buried. Dappelfur was impressed. Mistystar might not take it well that she was still worshipping Starclan. Especially out in front for others to see. She wondered whether Starclan was even listening to this Clan anymore.

After hearing the legend as a kit, Dapplefur still always asked Starclan for guidance, never giving up hope on them. Her thoughts were quickly interrupted when she heard yowling behind them. Turning to meet what could turn into a head-on collision, Dapplefur spotted her apprentice Rainpaw sprinting to catch up with them. She smiled and flicked her tail.

As her rowdy apprentice neared, she meowed, "Shh! We'd like to catch some prey today, so quiet down and get over here!" When Rainpaw met up with them, Dapplefur tapped the apprentice's shoulder with her tail. "So you finally decided to wake up, eh? We've been training hard so I thought I'd let you sleep in for once," she said softly. Her apprentice wasn't always the most loyal and listening type, but when she was behaving well, Dapplefur treated her to something nice. Today, it was sleep.

Dapplefur took a step back from Rainpaw as she stopped right in front of her. She took a wild guess, in thinking that poor little Rainpaw was probably thinking that Dapplefur was talking about what had happened yesterday. In way, she was, but they'd still been training very hard. Rainpaw closed the subject quickly; she should be grateful that she hadn't said what she really let her sleep in for. Instead she had used a vague wording. Dapplefur's smile turned to a frown as her apprentice didn't even thank her for letting her sleep in.

That was one of her pet peeves. She had gone out of her way and thought that Rainpaw might like some extra time to rest this morning, and what does she get? Disrespect and ungratefulness. As if she hadn't punished her apprentice enough. Dapplefur snorted and looked over at Smallmouse with a glare at Rainpaw. "Let's keep moving shall we?" she asked, swishing her tail irritably.

smallmouse couldn't help but to let out a soft chuckle as rainpaw came sprinting over to them. she desperately had wanted an apprentice, though she never complained or sulked when she didn't get one. she was still young, there was always going to be more apprentices, right? lost in thought, smallmouse hadn't noticed how tense the atmosphere now was and how irritated dapplefur had become. eager to break the tension, she gave a sharp nod and brushed her tail lightly across dapplefur's haunches in a reassuring matter. "i suppose we shall," she answered. once again she began to pad through the forest, though this time at a bit quicker pace so they could fill the fresh-kill pile as soon as possible.

Smallmouse confirmed Dapplefur's question, and they moved on. She padded quickly and blindly, stumbling over roots and plants in her anger and deep thoughts. She followed Smallmouse, swishing her tail now and again. Dapplefur constantly opened and closed her mouth trying desperately to find prey to bring back so she didn't embarrass herself. But her heart wasn't in it anymore. She was too worried about whether Mistystar had chosen the right cat to mentor Rainpaw.

The apprentice was rowdy, sometimes disrespectful, and always stubborn. Dapplefur hated when apprentices disobeyed. She had never been like that in her own apprenticeship. She could control and discipline Rainpaw, but that made her seem like a mean and horrible mentor. Suddenly, she tripped over a uphending root in her path, and flew onto her face. But her paw had been caught under the root, and she'd wrenched it, bending it terribly wrong. Dapplefur let out a shriek of pain, and tried to get to her paws.

"Foxdung!" she hissed. She looked down at her paw. Flexing it experimentally, she found that she could move it alright, it was just her claws that had snagged when she panicked. All of her claws were accounted for; her paw would just be a little sore for a couple of days. Looking at Smallmouse, she flicked her ear. "I'm alright," she meowed, flinching a little when she put her paw on the ground.
