Weather:
The sparkling snow blankets every Clan's territory, coming up to nearly even the tallest cat's belly. Be careful with sending out the same cat in multiple patrols, since they are very likely to catch a cold, which can lead to whitecough and even greencough. Prey will be less likely to be caught, but you will find new cats, since most of them are searching for shelter from the cold.

stranger danger wrote:briarstar's head snapped around, and her shoulders relaxed. her new cat, of course. in a groggy voice, she replies, "yes, that's me. and it's wonderful to meet you...?" she trails. he smiles at her, oh. was he going to be a charmer. "smokestep. your new deputy, pleasure to meet you." he replies cooly. he was smooth, briarstar would give him that. standing up, the leader shook out her pelt and turned to her new deputy. "it's a pleasure to meet you as well, smokestep. please, let me show you around the territory." she says, striding out of her den gracefully, the retreating leader didn't notice her new deputy staring at her hindquarters. starclan had sent a piece of work.
crunching over the new fallen snow, briarstar had taken smokestep around the territory as quickly as she could. there was much to do today, hunting, clearing the camp of snow. smokestep had been distracting her with cute qips and witty comments. no there was no time for flirting, things needed to get done. plus, she was much too old for him.
"hunt." declared the leader, pelt flushed in embarresment and shame. the deputy nods, passing one last glance the leader's way. she's already wrapped around his paw.
briarstar and smokestep go hunting.
"Circle around." Briarstar whispered to Smokestep. The charming tom nodded and disappeared into the undergrowth. The blue-eyed tabby she-cat narrowed her eyes as she focused on the rabbit nibbling on grass several tail-lengths away from her. Her gaze briefly left the rabbit when she saw the grey and white pelt of her deputy flash on the other side of the small clearing.
Briarstar gave him a curt nod before launching herself at the rabbit, yowling loudly. The rabbit looked up in alarm, dropping the few strands of grass it had in its mouth and darting in the other direction. When the rabbit got close enough, Smokestep jumped out of the undergrowth he was hiding in, landing squarely on the rabbit's back. Smokestep quickly nipped the rabbit's neck as Briarstar trotted over to join him.

"are you the cat starclan sent me?" he asked as curiosity sparked his brown eyes. the longhaired cat merely gave a content mew with a light smile. "the name is beeface, i can only assume you're mothstar." said the molly. mothstar gave a small nod, chuckling only slightly at the medicine cat.
[/list]"beeface, huh," mothstar said as he led the cat back to their new home. he couldn't help but stare at the cat, there was no confusion that the two were not related. they both had smaller, more petite, frames but after that the two were as different as night and day. where the tom had short fur with dark tabby coloring his companion had long fur with tabby markings that were barely visible. "is there something wrong with me to you?" the persian cat purred softly. mothstar was quick to refute her claim and told her that he was only admiring the sound of the cat's name. this made beeface smile widely at her leader. "how many others are there?" beeface asked mothstar. he looked away from the path towards the wooded landscape before turning back to his companion and painfully uttering, "it's just you and i." beeface looked at the tom in slight disbelief, how could they be starting a clan with no one but a medicine cat and a leader. she laughed, surely this silly feline was joking with her. but with a glance at his shameful face and the molly knew her answer and pitied the cat.
"it seems that we've got our work cut out for us then, mothstar." beeface told him in a reassuring manner as they entered the small camp. with one glance she knew this would be a group effort, she wouldn't be able to just sit inside of her little den and organize her herbs awaiting another cat to inevitably injure itself. beeface turned to mothstar and sat, he followed suit, the two looked one another in the eyes without saying anything. they let the presence of another cat to slowly sink in. mothstar was the on to break the silence as he opened his maw and spoke the truth, "we'll die of starvation if we don't get a hunting patrol out now." beeface looked to the entrance exasperated. "we need more cats, mothstar." she said softly to him. the tom tilted his head slightly as he thought it through. there were two cats, and there were two things they needed done desperately. it was already leaf-bare, prey would be harder to come by. the snow would hide prey from the clan, but finding other cats would almost be easier. "how about we compromise?" the tom offered as he looked at the molly thoroughly scrutinizing her every move.
[list]"i'm listening." beeface purred with curiosity. the tom gave a soft smile and laid the plan before her. it was quite simple really, mothstar would head out on a border patrol of sorts in hopes of catching a lone warrior wandering through their woods. beeface would then go out and search for food, the two would then meet back at camp before sundown. the two cats agreed before picking themselves off the ground. they nodded a parting towards one-another, then each headed a different direction in order to get the best results.
"E-Excuse me?"
Mothstar looked over his shoulder when he heard a quite voice. A pale tabby was crouched under a bush, looking up at him with wide eyes. "Yes? Is everything alright?" The tabby tom asked, crouching in front of the cat.
"Did a cat named Beeface come through here? She told me she was coming to find a tom named Mothstar and she told me about Clans... I wanted to find her so I could come with her..."
The Fickleclan leader smiled. "Well, I am Mothstar. And Beeface is out hunting right now. I'll take you back to camp though and we can wait for her together." The pale tabby hesitated but nodded, crawling out from under the bush and following the tom back to camp.

kaden wrote:The border patrol had found a new cat at the border, and after a brief confrontation, Bearclaw had ultimately persuaded the stubborn she-cat back to SageClan camp. Honeystar was initially wary of accepting her into the clan because of her stuck-up and forward personality and dodgy appearance, but Bearclaw, who seemed adamant on accepting her into the clan, talked Honeystar into allowing the molly into the clan, but only as long as she went through the same process all other warriors had to go through before being accepted: spending 3 days hunting for themselves and guarding the camp at night before they were allowed inside the camp. The new she-cat accepted this without another word and set off to work, ultimately being accepted into the clan under the name Mottlefang.
Mottlefang wasn't the prettiest molly about, and certainly was far after her prime age. She had long matted tortoiseshell fur and a build which appeared more stocky and muscular than feminine. She had her fair share of scars, including a sliced ear and a salty personality to match her unpleasant appearance. Hazelpaw and Cloudpaw were both awestruck as to how Bearclaw could talk of her so fondly. While they were training together with him and Honeystar, the two she-cats could easily overhear him reassuring the leader that Mottlefang wasn't a threat to their clan and that she needed to give her a chance despite the new warrior's original hostility towards the clan cats. Although Honeystar listened and eventually revealed she didn't want to accept Mottlefang into the clan because of first impressions, she agreed that the molly deserved a chance in the clan. Bearclaw's affection towards Mottlefang made Hazelpaw and Cloudpaw suspicious and wary of the two large cats and the two sisters would often conspire over what caused Bearclaw to have such strong feelings towards Mottlefang so quickly.
The first snow started to fall the next day. As morning crept in, Hazelpaw and Cloudpaw were the first cats awake and their calls of excitement woke up most of the other clan cats. Featherburr sulked out of his den and shivered, wrinkling his nose up at the cold and watching the snow fall slowly, with Hazelpaw and Cloudpaw chasing the flakes as they fell. He arched his back and hissed at the two apprentices, "It's two early for you two to be playing your silly kit games," He spat, ruffling up his fur before sitting down. Hazelpaw and Cloudpaw bounded up to the medicine cat and Hazelpaw made a silly face, "You can't tell us what to do, midget!" Hazelpaw teased and Featherburr let out an infuriated yowl, reaching out to swat at the two sisters "Get away from me," He hissed, to which the two she-cats looked at each other before dashing away. Owlflame exited the warrior's den and was quickly met by Honeystar, who touched her nose to his in greeting. "The snow has finally come! I guess leaf-bare is definitely here now." The leader exclaimed, to which Owlflame nodded in agreement. "We should send out as many cats as possible today so that we can be prepared in case the weather gets worse," She continued, wrapping her tail around her paws. "Of course, Honeystar. I'll sort out patrols now," The deputy decided, dipping his head. Owlflame then turned to the large, flat boulder that had fallen atop of the leader's den many moons ago and leaped on top of it, scrabbling for grip because of the ice. "The first snowfall has marked the start of leaf-bare. We need to stock up on resources before the weather gets any worse." The deputy announced as cats made their way under the high-rock "Featherburr, I would like you to go and gather some herbs. Honeystar, you will take your apprentice, Hazelpaw and Stormrunner hunting and Bearclaw-" The deputy was cut off by the large tabby tom who stood beside Mottlefang, "I'll take the border patrol with Mottlefang. Cloudpaw can stay and tidy up camp," Bearclaw boomed, much to Cloudpaw's disgust, "But that's not fair!" She yowled. Bearclaw opened his mouth to scold his apprentice, but was interrupted by Owlflame, "Cloudpaw, listen to your mentor. You don't know how to fight yet so we would all prefer, for your own safety, if you stayed in camp and tidied things up. It'll give Bearclaw a chance to show Mottlefang about the territory as well. Now, Sparrowfrost, may I speak with you alone?" Sparrowfrost, who was deep in conversation with her sister, Honeystar, was taken aback by the deputy's request, but nodded enthusiastically. He gestured to the camp entrance and the two cats walked to meet each other outside camp.
Owlflame and Sparrowfrost walked side-by-side, their fur brushing against each other and the cold snow crunching underneath their paws. "Leaf-bare is my favourite time of the year," Sparrowfrost purred, to which Owlflame chuckled, "Really? I think leaf-bare is too cold" He admitted. The two cats walked and talked until they reached the river. It was unsurprisingly starting to freeze over and the reeds on the riverbank were becoming white with frost and snow. Sparrowfrost dipped a paw in the icy water before flicking it in Owlflame's direction. He turned his face away just as a splat of icy water flew past him. "So what did you want to talk with me about?" The pretty warrior asked. Owlflame sighed and swallowed before speaking. "Sparrowfrost, I know we weren't the closest when we were younger, but ever since I joined this new clan with you, I've not been able to get you out of my head. You're just so- just so... perfect," He admitted, looking up at the surprised Sparrowfrost, "I feel like I could spend the rest of my days with you by my side. I know we're still young, but we could have a beautiful family together." Sparrowfrost's eyes widened, was he saying what she thought he was? Kits in leaf-bare were risky. "Will you do me the honour of being my mate?" He asked. Sparrowfrost paused, flashbacks of Stormrunner asking the same thing flashed in her mind, but she quickly blinked them away. Owlflame was the reason she rejected Stormrunner, "Of course I will! I've always loved you, from when you first joined the old clan as an apprentice. I just hoped and prayed you would return my feelings." She purred, nuzzling into Owlflame's neck. "I love you," she whispered.
( The clan consumes a stoat and mouse )
( Featherburr gathers herbs )
( Honeystar, Hazelpaw and Stormrunner go on a hunting patrol )
( Bearclaw and Mottlefang go on a border patrol )
( Sparrowfrost and Owlflame become mates )
Bearclaw jumped slightly when he heard Mottlefang gasp in surprise. "What's wrong?" He asked. The tortoiseshell she-cat ignored him, rushing forward. The new warrior tackled a pale brown and white cat that was just starting to scramble up the path that the two warriors were on. "Mottlefang?"
Mottlefang got to her paws, standing protectively over the young cat. "It's my kit!" She purred, showing affection for the first time since she had joined the Clan. "My kit was taken by rogues when they were three moons."

amethyst14 wrote:It was now nightfall and all the cats were back in camp, even the new warrior who called herself Oriolefeather. Archpool had tended to all the cats and now they just needed to rest, something Cloudstar wanted the whole clan to do now. The leader climbed up high rock with the aide of Archpool and began to address every one "All cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather. Now!" he bossed. Of course every cat listened, the kits even peaked their heads out of the den, trying hard to not be seen. "Leaf bare is now among us. I want every cat to rest as much as they can, we can not afford for any illness to fall upon us. So for now just focus on training your apprentices and keeping well rested. Willowpaw and Bramblepaw, I am going to postpone you apprentice trial for now, I feel you two are not ready to take on the challenge. But prepare yourself because next moon all four of you will be attempting the trial." Cloudstar took a moment to rest and catch his breath, letting the apprentices chatter among themselves.
"All four of use together? This will be easy!" Mudpaw meowed with confidence.
It was Bouldershade who batted the apprentice's head "Of course not together, you will all be taking turns. It takes eight days to complete the trial, I assume it will be Bramblepaw then Willowpaw then Mudpaw and then Russetpaw. Though I don't know the order you will all go in for sure. However, it is a trial to test your skills that you have learned." The deputy meowed.
"Can you tell us what we will be doing?" Bramblepaw asked him. Bouldershade shook his head and was about to say something before he noticed Cloudstar stand up again to continue addressing the clan.
"Now I see a new face in the crowd, please step forward." Cloudstar motioned for Oriolefeather to step forward. She did of course in a graceful pace, Badgerfall gasped. That was her mentor from her old clan! What was she doing here? But before she could say anything Cloudstar went on "I have talked with you in my den, you said you followed Badgerfall here. Starclan lead her here and therefore has also brought you here. I welcome you to Briarclan as a warrior, Oriolefeather."
"Thank you Cloudstar, I will do my best." The calico warrior meowed before turning around, ignoring Badgerfall's gaze. She then returned to the crowd and sat next to Coppereyes, who seemed perplexed by the relationship between her and Badgerfall. He wished to know more, he would ask later though.
"Clan is dismissed. Dawnflower, you wished to talk with me in private?" The white tom asked loudly. Blizzardsong narrowed his eyes at his mate, something she saw. Dawnflower shook her head and disappeared into the nursery, almost tripping on the three kits at the entrance.
───────────────────────
After the clan was dismissed Badgerfall went over to confront her old mentor "What are you doing here Oriolefeather!?" she hissed. Coppereyes flattened his ears and stepped back a few paw steps but seemed to be unnoticed as he found himself in the middle of it.
"Well you see when you just one day disappeared I was told to find you. You know you were to be the new leader, princess." Oriolefeather meowed the last word with a sliver of hate. "I know you hated it but to just leave without saying anything to me, or your mother? You made us worry and I had to find out what happened." The molly then sat down ever so slowly and wrapped her tail around her paws.
Badgerfall claws the soil under her, digging her claws into the earth. It looked like she was going to pounce and claw Oriolefeather's ears off. Coppereyes noticed every single thing and went to move in the way. He was to late though Badgerfall pounced on her old mentor but instead of clawing and fighting she was rubbing against the molly as a kit would a queen "I missed you so much! I would have told you but Starclan said it was urgent for me to go." Badgerfall explained.
"Badgerfall, I just groomed my fur. How am I suppose to get the attention of all these toms now?" Oriolefeather mocked, rasping her tongue across Badgerfall's head a few times. The two recomposed themselves then as Coppereyes watched in shock. "Oh come now tom cat, you thought she would hurt me?" The older warrior teased.
Coppereyes rolled his eyes "It looked like it for a second." he grumbled. "Whatever." he growled before stalking off. He was not going to sleep tonight and instead would keep watch of the camp.
Badgerfall chuckled quietly "He really is a sweet cat, I kind of like him." she whispered to Oriolefeather.
"Well then you better go comfort him. He looks hurt and confused. Maybe you should explain everything to him?" The calico suggested.
"Some other time, perhaps. I want to know what happened after I left." Badgerfall meowed as she lead the way to the dens, listening to what her old mentor had to say.
───────────────────────
Blizzardsong and Dawnflower were far enough outside of camp for any cat to hear their conversation. "Dawnflower, this is not the best place to raise our kits! I want to train them now, they have so much potential."
Dawnflower sighed, this was not the first time he brought this up and all she wanted was a nice walk with him. "Why don't you just want them to be kits? There is nothing wrong with letting them wait to become apprentices before they begin to train!" she protested.
"I don't want them to be like these cats! The clan is weak! Full of nobodies, kitty pets even. Let's leave tonight, take all three kits." Blizzardsong hissed at her. "If you don't join me then I will steal them away from you too." he threatened.
Dawnflower looked hurt but stood her ground "You can't bully me into leaving! I am just as strong as you. Plus you are injured and can't get very far. You stay away from my kits and Tigerkit, if I see you even come near them I will tell Cloudstar your plans. You are not the tom I fell in love with." The molly took a step back before turning and rushing back to camp. She didn't go into the nursery right away, not wanting her kits to see her like this.
Blizzardsong watched her go, this means war. He narrowed his eyes at her before walking off. He knew where he was going, he had hid some Deathberries not to far away from camp. If she wouldn't join him then she would join the dead, he thought. As he thought that the clouds became dark, a storm was approaching.
───────────────────────
Owldust woke with a start, her breathing was heavy. No cat in the nursery was awake and when she exited the den, the camp was still asleep. The molly's eyes moved up and she could still see the moon overhead, she then trotted off with a smile. Sneaking out was one of the easiest things to do. Just then a huge gust of wind blew through her fur and she shivered, she had to remember it was leaf bare now and to be careful as she took her steps.
It wasn't long until the pregnant queen reached the river, the water looked calm but the molly knew that the current was always strong and she needed to be careful. She spotted the stone path and saw there was a thin layer of water on top, probably ice "Better go further upstream.." she mumbled to herself before turning and taking the safe route.
Hours had finally passed before she reached the den her an Tux found. It was right in the middle of both their territories so they both had to travel. They had met here a few times, he was even nice enough to clean out the den and put fresh bedding in there for her, for this is the place she would be kitting. He would be able to see the kits this way and she wanted them to meet their father. As the molly settled in and fell back asleep she woke with a sharp pain in her side, it looks like when Tux arrives the kits will be born already. She frowned, she did not want to do this alone and was very scared.
───────────────────────
Russetpaw woke with a jab to his side, when he opened his eyes he saw Willowpaw looking at him "Good afternoon, sleepy head. Wake up will ya?" Russetpaw yawned at her and turned over, ignoring her and pretending to go back to sleep. This was not what Willowpaw wanted him to do and decided to jump on him "But Russetpaw!" she wailed as she drew out his name. She slowly took over his nest and he was laying on the cold dirt of the den.
"Okay, okay I am up. What do you need?" Russetpaw chuckled at the molly.
"Just come on, every one is waiting for you." Willowpaw lead the way "I know our mentors have been training us like crazy but we have noticed no cat has gone hunting.." she explained, thinking she didn't need to explain the rest. Obviously she was wrong though because Russetpaw looked clueless, with a roll of her eyes "We, being Bramblepaw, Mudpaw and I, thought it would be fun to go hunting on our own to see if we catch anything. We are almost warriors now, so I am sure we will be fine." the two finally met up with the others near the entrance to the camp.
"I guess it would be fun, it is just to help out right?" Russetpaw reassured himself as Willowpaw kept talking.
"About time you wake up! It is sun high already!" Mudpaw complained. "Let's go!" The tom was going to lead the way but was suddenly pounced on by Bramblepaw, she was obviously practicing her new moves on Mudpaw before she bounded ahead with a giggle. That was when they all picked up their pace and ran after her.
───────────────────────
"At least let me escort you Cloudstar, in case something happens." Bouldershade asked the leader.
"No, I am going to the Moonstone. You are not allowed there and I can take care of myself." The leader ordered in a grumble. He was going to ask for Starclan to bring them a wise elder, the clan needed it anyways. Though he did not want to mention the prophecy yet, a slight guilty feeling hit him as he looked at Archpool who just sat there. That tom was exhausted, maybe Cloudstar should ask Starclan to bring him an apprentice instead?
"Don't worry Bouldershade, I will take him. You can be assured he will be fine under my watch." The medicine cat meowed. Cloudstar narrowed his eyes and thought 'there goes your apprentice! may you never get the help you need'.
"You better not slow me down, or you can just stay here." Cloudstar knew there was no point in arguing with Archpool. He shot a glare at Bouldershade before leaving the den, not bothering to wait for Archpool as he left camp and headed for the waterfall.
───────────────────────
"Oh look! Bramblepaw and the rest of the apprentices are leaving camp." Ryekit pointed out to Tigerkit and Aspenkit. The two mollies paused their fighting to look over at what Ryekit pointed out and saw that the apprentices were leaving camp in a hurry.
"Lets follow them!" Aspenkit meowed before leading the way. Ryekit hesitated and didn't say anything.
It was Tigerkit that objected "My dad says we should stay in camp until we become apprentices. I don't want to get in trouble either..." the little molly complained.
"You are such a scaredy cat!" Aspenkit wailed to the two of them "If you won't come with then fine! I am going by myself." The molly then turned around and went to follow the apprentices out of the camp.
Just when she got to the entrance Aspenkit heard Fawnwillow call out to her "Where are you going Aspenkit? You know you can't leave the camp until you are older." The queen was now hovering over the frozen kit.
Aspenkit shot a glare towards Tigerkit, as if it was her fault she got caught. Though Tigerkit didn't seem to notice as she rubbed against Fawnwillow and purred before asking "Can you take us out? I would love to see what it is like out there." Tigerkit gave her best charming smile to her mother. The one she knew she could not say no to.
"Please?" Ryekit asked the queen as he drew out the word.
"I suppose I could, it is a nice day out. Only for a little while though, I don't want you kits to get sick." Fawnwillow meowed before leading the way out of the camp. Three happy, bouncing kits followed her and eventually ran ahead of her, taking in the sights and playing in the fresh fallen snow in the forest. "Don't get to far out of sight!" The queen meowed to the three with a smile as she watched them play.

The further away from camp they got, the more nervous Willowpaw started to feel. She knew they were doing a good thing by hunting for the Clan but she was scared that their mentors might realize they're gone and freak out. The fur along her spine started to rise when she realized that they could even hold their warrior ceremony back.
The pale she-cat shook her head, deciding to stop letting these negative thoughts into her head. Bramblepaw brushed against Willowpaw's shoulder, a concerned look in her eyes. "You okay?" She asked. Willowpaw nodded and smiled, saying that she was fine.
Bramblepaw bumped Russetpaw. "Let's hurry and catch up to the others."
