SlipClan | .Quill. wrote:My clan is SlipClan.
Their terriorty is a thick forest with a large river running through the middle of it. There is loads of bushes and shrubs around of te forest floor allowing small mamals such as Mice and Voles to hide for preditors. SlipClan cats are oddballs, while most of the cats that live in this clan are sleek with thin fur and long legs, the other half are short and super fluffy. When there has been a heavy rainfall, SlipClan cats are in danger of th river overflowing and falling over the waterfall just inside of their territory.
Cats of SlipClan are know to the over clans as energetic and Bouncy. If they have a big problem they will try and solve it by themselves even if that means breaking the warrior code. They don't mind the other clans and will usually leave them alone. The cats of SlipClan very rarely get into fights with other clans over teritory or prey.

Sunshadow was breathing heavily, glaring at the white warrior pinned below him. He was bleeding from a wound in his shoulder, but he could barely feel the pain. "Please," the warrior croaked. Sunshadow couldn't see his face, all he knew was a burning hatred for the cat under his claws. "I-I haven't done anything wro-" his voice was cut off when Sunshadow placed a paw over his mouth. "Shut up, foxbreath," Sunshadow spat, his stutter seeming to disappear. Fear flashed through the cat's eyes. "I'm not afraid of you," he hissed, after Sunshadow removed his paw. "You should be," Sunshadow sliced his claws across the warrior's throat, turning away as his paws were lapped with thick, red blood...
"Aah!" Sunshadow woke up in a cold sweat, panting like he had just run to StarClan and back. Brightsky gazed at him sleepily from her nest next to his. "You okay?" she asked, her voice weary. Sunshadow felt a wave of guilt for waking her up. "Y-yea. Bad d-dream," he quickly checked his shoulder, and was greatly relieved to find that there was no wound there. It was only a dream, he told himself. Either way, Sunshadow knew he wasn't going to be able to go back to sleep. He padded outside, and decided to watch the sunrise from the top of the cliff. He had only been up there once, when Ivystar was giving him his warrior name, and he was eager to see the view again. Climbing to the top of the rocky ledge, Sunshadow gazed out across the silent camp. He liked being the only cat up, it gave him a sense of peace and serenity. He gasped when he saw the first rays of light peek out above the horizon, the shades of yellow, pink, and orange lighting up the night sky. "It's quite a view, isn't it." Sunshadow jumped in surprise, turning around to see Whitewhisker standing behind him, his whiskers twitching in amusement. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you," he said. "I-it's fine. Yea, its a v-very beautiful v-view," Sunshadow replied. "You're up early," Whitewhisker commented. Sunshadow shivered, remembering his terrible nightmare. "C-couldn't s-sleep," he recounted. Whitewhisker nodded. "I like to wake up early and watch the camp wake up. I've noticed that it's fallen into a pretty consistent routine. Buzzardflight should be coming out of his den soon." Sure enough, the medicine cat padded out of his den and began picking through the fresh-kill pile. "Good morning, Buzzardflight!" Whitewhisker called. "Mornin'," Buzzardflight replied, looking up at the two cats before retuning to his business. Whitewhisker and Sunshadow sat in silence as they watched the camp wake up. Soon, the camp was bustling with activity. "Good morning Whitewhisker, Sunshadow," Ivystar walked over to them, sitting down next to Whitewhisker. "How is Clan life treating you, Sunshadow?" she asked, after touching noses with the deputy. "G-great," he stuttered. He had the feeling that the two cats wanted to be alone. "I'm g-going to go g-get some f-fresh-kill. You g-guys want anything?" Sunshadow asked. "We're all set, thanks," Ivystar meowed. Sunshadow leaped down from the rocky ledge, and spotted Brightsky crouching by the fresh-kill pile. "Good morning Sunshadow!" she squealed, noticing him approach. "G-good morning B-brightsky," he replied. "Wanna share some prey?" Brightsky pulled a bird out from the pile. "T-thanks," Sunshadow settled down next to her, his ginger pelt brushing hers. "That bird looks delicious! Could I get in on some of that?" Sunshadow turned around to see Appleclaw standing behind them. It was all Sunshadow could do not to growl at him. Couldn't he tell when two cats wanted to be alone? But Brightsky didn't seem to mind. "Sure!" she shifted over to allow Appleclaw a space by the bird.
Whitewhisker purred, watching the younger warriors sharing fresh-kill."They're getting along so well," he pointed out. Ivystar nodded. "Give it time, they'll both start fighting over Brightsky soon enough," she commented, a mischievous glint in her green eyes. Whitewhisker laughed. "Then I'm glad I won't have any competition," he murmured softly, sweeping his tail around Ivystar affectionately. "You never did," she whispered.

They returned to the camp, Honeycreek was holding a mouse triumphantly in her mouth while gloating over catching it to Russetstar. Their paws brushed against the buds of flowers that peeked from the dirt around the entrance. His deputy walked over to a spot in the center of the clearing and dropped the prey.
"Here is where the fresh kill pile will be!" She announced, turning to the orange tom beside her.
"When did you get to decide!" he exclaimed.
"When you invited me to your camp."
"Fine." He meowed reluctantly. Honeycreek grinned at him before turning to scan the rock walls that surround the camp.
"The warriors den can go there." She pointed at a larger hole that was the closest to the entrance, its back wall hidden in shadow. Russetstar nodded in agreement. "The apprentices can be in the one next to it and the elders in the one next to yours. The nursery can be under that log over there. That one, over there. The one that is hidden behind that pair of boulders." She continued on, naming each cove as she scanned around. Russetstar couldn't get a word in as she stopped and walked to the warrior den, ignoring any comment he had for her choice of placement. Oh well. He thought, swishing his tail.
"I have yet to set secure borders. I have them planned out, but do you want to help me set them?" He asked, poking the she cat in the shoulder after entering her chosen den for warriors. She blinked her eyes wearily at him as she pulled herself to her feet.
"Sure." She meowed as she yawned widely. They ate the mouse that had been caught the day before, slowly enjoying the flavor as it washed over their tongues.
They exited the camp, Honeycreek's short tail head high as she took the lead ahead of Russetstar. He rolled his eyes and let her stay ahead. After a while they stopped for breath he turned to he.
"Want to split up to cover more ground? We might catch some prey along the way." She nodded and they turned to walk apart.

The five cats of the slowly growing QuartzClan share a fairly large rabbit and talk quietly to each other, mostly about the Gathering of last night."I didn't think they'd be so much at each other's throats," Talonstar comments.
"Or maybe we just happened to get a bad Gathering," Snowheart says at an attempt at humor.
"I met a few cats," Mottledlight says. "I don't remember which Clan they were from, but they seemed friendly enough."
"I think they were once queens themselves," Turtlefur comments. "They gave her some advice on kitting."
"Some of the medicine cats gave me some advice on that too," Nightfeather says. "Nice of them." She sighs as she looks at her store. "Time for more herb hunting..." She stands and exits the camp with a flick of her fluffy tail.
"Is she always like that?" Mottledlight asks, looking after the medicine cat.
"Seems like it," Talonstar purrs. "Don't worry, she's not too bad. She just worries a lot."
"Sometimes too much," Snowheart says drily. He too stands. "I'm going to go on border patrol," he announces. "Would you like to come with me, Turtlefur?"
"Love to," she purrs, standing.
The two cats exit camp as well.
"I should probably hunt," Talonstar muses. "Would you like to come, Mottledlight? You don't have to actually hunt," he adds as he sees her concern.
"It would be nicer than staying here alone," the queen admits. "Alright, I'll come."
Together, the two cats leave.

Beetlestar introduces Rhubarbwhistle and then Rhubarbwhistle, Harrowbranch, Pertelswoop, Oakhollow and Slateslide go on a hunting patrol while Beetlestar goes on a border patrol in hopes of meeting another Clan.

more about rippleclan wrote:RippleClan is the successing Clan to a MistClan, which ended shortly after their latest leader's death; Heatherstar, who was supposedly left MistClan in favor of a loner life, unable to cope with the betryal she felt after discovering one of her members being a killer- and while the details are unknown, it is said this cat had been the one that had kept previous generations from recieving nine lives, (since their previous leader had been the murderer). The ruins of MistClan decided to clear themselves of their past problems and shedded their name, becoming RippleClan and inhabiting an old island. There is a stone on the highest point of the island that is marked with an odd sign, resembling many flowers that seem intertwined with eachother; a huge circle? Medicine cats have tried to decipher what this message had meant, but they were never able to figure it out. Prey that can be found in RippleClan's territory - minnows, small fish, frogs, big fish (uncommon), ermine, water fowl. As for the first roots of RippleClan, it is said MistClan descended from the neo-Moon/LeafClan that was created as an temporary-turned-permanent alliance between the two sister Clans in battle against neo-DarkClan and neo-FlameClan. Even before this, history is barely known, but some rumors say that there were 'WillowClan', 'MarshClan', 'WinterClan' and 'PondClan'. Truth be told, no live cat knows what happened even before this, and many consider to to be the age of the first Dark-Flame-Moon-LeafClan eras, since any records of the previous Clans seem to depict them as being reborn. RippleClan's first leader, Ripplestar, is Beetlestar's grandmother. 'RippleClan' was now re-founded, but unchanged.
RippleClan traditions include- when a kit is first apprentice, their mentor will throw them into the waters to get them used to the currents(unlike their peaceful reputation, this is something to help them cope with the island's long, surrounding lake). There are very rarely any deaths, which only happens if the apprentice somehow manages to drown under supervision. RippleClanners must be strong swimmers, so that there will be less drownings. The entire camp is on a small island, therefore every cat needs the skills to paddle through the waters, or else they will never be able to travel or hunt. They have strict laws of not killing other cats- even ones in enemy Clans. They hunt prey that are sick or old, never the young, plump ones, unless they have no other choice. They respect nature and try to recycle all bedding. They have great love for their elders and any senior members, being treated with respect for their actions. Leaders of RippleClan must live in the greatest Waterfall, which connects the island's river to a large cliff, for three moons. However, since Beetlestar is the re-founding leader, and there is nobody else beforehand, she wishes to perform this after RippleClan gets a stronger foundation. All cats of RippleClan are taught how to save drowning cats and herbs to treat various common diseases. RippleClanners also do not follow traditional name rules and prefer individuality and deeper meaning. RippleClanners also only fight for honor and are very unlikely to cause disputes. They do not wish to make enemies unless they are ruthless and unlawful, which they will do anything to stop. Justice is a big part of this Clan. The need of a good healer in this Clan where you're isolated on a tiny island surrounded by a river with no immediate herbal access unless you swim, is huge. Therefore, medicine cats are treated with lots of respect. While not always, there can be two adult medicine cats at a time.
Another tradition is a Ripple Festival, which is formally named the 'Armistice Ripple Festival' in which the destiny of each cat is revealed through one touching their nose to the river surrounding the island, and seeing what forms. If no ripple show, it means the cat is destined to die or has a future outside of RippleClan. This tradition will be formed on the night of someone's supposed death.
FIRST ARC - PEACE The story so far; Beetlestar has 're'-founded RippleClan on a destined island. She has found two cats, Slateslide, her first warrior, and Oakhollow, her deputy. The three of them have decided to expand their territory and discover nearby Clans. Slateslide and Oakhollow have gone out for materials and prey, the deputy getting sick and them making alliances with BirchClan. Some internal dispute has began between Beetlestar and Slateslide (namely a love-problem) and Beetlestar has summoned a she-cat, Hazelwish, to be with Slateslide. However, Oakhollow has fallen in love with Hazelwish, and the two are courted almost immediately- they become mates, and soon after, a kittypet comes along to join the Clan, as Pertelswoop. Slateslide's father, Soot, shows up and is hired as the navigator, Smokekite. After Hazelwish's kitting, (Hoot, Eel, Hickory, Sedge) a patrol finds a no-name loner and renames him Harrowbranch. Pertelswoop immediately falls for him, but he, at the same time, falls for Slateslide.

Heda wrote:"I am the fierce Copperflame!" Troutleap didn't have time to react as the small and very young ball of red fluffy fur came flying towards him in a fit of rage. Really. Troutleap seriously wasn't in the mood to be attacked by such a creature..... Well more liked malled. Pushing the cat off him with a hard shove Troutleap hissed with frustration, "Are you kidding me?" Looking the thing up and down he realized he must of been around the age of a very new warrior. Fresh off the spot, and he clearly was trying to prove himself although he would of gotten himself killed if it was anyone else but Troutleap. "Where is your food? We have you're surrounded!" This "Copperflame" growled. Troutleap tilted his head, "Um, who's 'we' ?" This copper coloured cat scoffed and glared at Troutleap, his olive eyes examining him. "My clan of course, this is our territory!" he screeched again. He was really acting it out here but Troutleap couldn't contain his bubbling laughter and just lost it. Copperflame looked quite surprised and angry, probably because Troutleap knew he wasn't telling the truth. "Ok kit-" Toutleap was cut off by him in a second. "I am no kit! I am a strong warrior." He stood stall and proud but his skinny little frame was another story, mostly from the lack of food but he also had that young look to him. "How old are you then." Troutleap smirked wildly at him and Copperflame frowned deeply. "I am 14 moon." Troutleap laughed again and continued to laugh for quite awhile. "Barely a warrior you mean." Copperflame just sat his butt in the snow with a defeated look, "Whatever, I'll leave." Troutleap sighed as he watched the young warrior stand and start to leave, what kind of warrior....no what kind of deputy would Troutleap be if he just let this starving young fool walk off? "You can come with me..." The tom turned around with a very excited look on his face. "Really!?" Troutleap nodded and started walking on. Copperflame running after him with snow flying everywhere, "Mine name's Copperflame, I gave it to myself actually. My dad trained me...." Troutleap sort of stopped listening after a moment as the other tom was going on and on about a mile a minute and Troutleap wasn't about to endure that.
By the time they got to camp Soulstar had met up with the two, Runningsong giving Troutleap a friendly smile and all Troutleap could really do was give an awkward one back and frown. 'Why is she smiling..?' he thought with a disturbed look plastered on his muzzle. Copperflame was ecstatic and Soulstar was very happy to listen to his stories about being out on the road as they ate that night. Copperflame was very passionate by the sounds of it, he explained how his choice on attacking Trouleap was a bad idea and he wasn't that bad of a fighter, also apologizing in the process. The whole group couldn't help but laugh though, the copper tom was amusing. Ivythistle shared how difficult it was to find herbs and how she would pick up where she left off tomorrow. Runningsong expressed how she would rather go on patrol tomorrow with Troutleap then hunt on her own. Soulstar grinned just a little as the look on Troutleap's face changed and Soulstar agreed.
The next morning the group was fast and eager. Soulstar was determined to go to this next clan gathering he had heard of with a stable and ready clan. So he sent Runningsong and Troutleap out on a search for more warriors to join, Ivythistle already had her plans for the day and Soulstar and Copperflame headed towards the river. It was slowly becoming free of ice and Soulstar hoped to catch a hefty fish or two and see how Copperflame's swimming skills were.

zephyrine wrote:"Can I leave now, please, Willowcloud?" Birchpaw begged. His cold was gone, but the medicine cat had made him remain in her den for another week just to make sure it didn't come back. The poor apprentice was growing more restless every second and was dying to the get out of the confinement of the den. Willowcloud let out a little sigh. "Yes, I suppose you're free to go." Birchpaw then let out a squeak of excitement and raced out of the den to find his mentor Tinyfeather. Willowcloud smiled, glad that his cold didn't escalate into something worse like whitecough or greencough. She padded into the small alcove tucked away in the back of her den, where she stored her herbs, and began sorting the medicines. She was nearly finished when Applepaw approached her. "Do you need any help with that? Or do you want me to check on the kits?" he offered. "No, I was actually wanting to quiz you on the herbs a bit today," she mewed. He was getting older and had already helped out with kittings and had gone out by himself to collect herbs, so Willowcloud had recently begun to think about when she would give him his full medicine cat name. She thought he was almost ready, but she wanted to see how much he remembered about the herbs first.
Ashenclaw knew that Frostpath was suspicious of him. It was obvious. She was always asking if he was alright, and whenever he went out on patrol towards the AsterClan border, she would try to steer the group clear of it. He didn't know what was up with her, but clearly she didn't want him to be in a forbidden relationship. Now, he could understand how she was feeling if they were enemies with AsterClan, but no - they were allies. It really shouldn't be that bad, he kept telling himself. He knew that when he would finally tell Emberstar what was going on, she wouldn't go against it. Yes, she tried to act firm, but really she was soft-hearted, he knew. She wouldn't exile him for falling in love. But the thing was - he didn't know if he would be shunned by the rest of the Clan. He sighed as he led Honeydapple and the new warrior Stormbreeze out on the border patrol, to the western border instead of the southern one. At least he would get to see Sheepclaw at the coming Gathering. Thank StarClan it wasn't too far away now. He just hoped that Frostpath and Webfang wouldn't be attending as well.
Tinyfeather smiled as the sunshine warmed her fur. New-leaf was almost here, and the cats couldn't wait. They wouldn't have to worry so much about catching a sickness or having enough food. But the snow would be gone. That was the one thing that Tinyfeather loved about leaf-bare - the snow. It was so beautiful, and snowball fights were so much fun. It'll be nice to hear the birds singing again, though, she thought. She had certainly missed waking up to their morning songs. The patrol padded along, Patchthorn and Featherpaw in the lead, Tinyfeather and Dustfall in the rear, and everyone else somewhere in-between. Because she had been thinking about the snow, Tinyfeather had an idea for the last snowball fight of this leaf-bare. Yes, she would seem a rambunctious little kit, but she wouldn't care. Carefully and silently, she began to gather snow in her paw until it was enough the hurl at the nearest cat - Dustfall. "W-h-wh-what was th-that f-for?" the tom sputtered, quickly trying to shake the snow from his face. Tinyfeather only giggled, launching another snowball at him. "Tinyfeather! What are you doing?" Dustfall couldn't help but smile and throw a snowball back at her. "Ooh! A snowball fight!" Featherpaw squealed, leaping over to aid Tinyfeather. "Featherpaw..." Patchthorn growled, utterly disappointed in his apprentice for abandoning the task at hand. "Oh, come on, Patchthorn, have some fun once in a while!" Tinyfeather chimed in when she noticed the steely expression on the older warrior's face. Frostpath sighed, muttering to him, "They are a bunch of kits aren't they? Let's just continue the patrol...." And so she, Patchthorn, and Webfang left the three others and Cloudtalon to their snow battle. Eventually, though, it ended, and the warriors resumed their normal mature nature and bounded to catch up with the others.

✘ Fear of Reality wrote:Sheepflower laid all the way in the back of the cave, seeing her brother coming on over. "Hey, Sheepflower! I'm still surprised that you're going to have kittens soon, I can't wait to be an uncle. I mean, if they're your kits, they hav-" The she-cat cut him off quickly, her voice unusually irritated. "Be quiet and get Nightcall, they're coming!" She growled at him, watching as he ran across the cave to get the black medicine cat.
Fidgetspice heard his mate over in the back. However, he still had his duties to take care of. Going over to his apprentice, he called him for a training session. "C'mon, we have training to do." He told the young tom. The apprentice looked up at his mentor questioningly, looking back towards the fluffy white she-cat in labor. Yet, would the apprentice question his mentor? No.
Sootfur could hear the kind, fluffy, pretty Sheepflower in back, obviously in pain. Looking towards Drypaw, he knew that it would be important to uphold their borders, safe from any attacks that could happen. "Let's get going, Nightcall and Sheepflower will some room." Flicking his tail for the hairless she-cat to follow, the two leave camp.

krazykitty00 wrote:Hearthflame sat in the corner of the medicine cat den, looking down sadly as he went about sorting herbs. The same herbs he had been sorting for the past hour. Every once and a while, he'd feel eyes burning into his fur only to turn and meet Aspenleaf's worrisome gaze before she'd snap her head away quickly. Then he'd look away and sort the herbs again, ears drooping and looking as if he was broken inside, which he was with all this negative attention. Ever since thy returned from the medicine cat gathering, Aspenleaf hadn't spoken more than four words to him, and he didn't get why. She looked... afraid of him sometimes and that wasn't a good feeling, knowing he was knowingly the most timid thing in camp. Aspenleaf knew it as well, having beenbeen with the tom since he came to Soulclan as no more than a kit and practically raised him. He hasn't changed one bit. And she should know that also. But the images given to her by Starclan, he looked just like the cat depicted. But who could be his associate? Who could Hearthflame, the cat who stayed away from everyone and feared social interaction with his own clan, be in league with? That single thought alone was enough to make Aspenleaf hold onto the hope that Hearthflame wasn't the devilish cat shown to her by Starclan. That alone was why she felt so guilt for succumbing to her fears of the young tom.
"A-Aspenleaf?" Came his shy voice that still managed to make her tense. "The snow is thawing.. m-maybe we can find some herbs together?" He offered, eyes shining with hope that she would accept his offer with that wise smile she always gave him. But he was only met with a shake of her head and an averted gaze as she began to pad out of the medicine cat den. "Sorry Hearthflame... I need to go talk to Jaystar." She muttered leaving him in a cloud of disappointment and despair. As she climbed the ledge to head to the leader's den, she cast one last glance over her shoulder to watch Hearthflame walk slowly out of camp, head down and tail dragging along the camp'scave floor. It nearly broke her heart in two watching him go and she only hated herself more. Hopefully when she talks with Jaystar, they could cross Hearthflame off the list.. and fast..
"Mudpaw! Mudpaw!" Came the excited, child like voice of Bouncepaw as she made her way over to the fluffy brown tom, giggling all the while. The little apprentice blushed but kept his head up bravely. He didn't know why he liked her, but he did. Since the day she's openly admitted to admiring him, he found himself trying to impress her, show off just for attention and praise. It was a different route of getting attention like his sister did but it was all the same. When Bouncepaw finally made her way over he gave her the best smirk he could muster, but he was a bit too cute for that. "Have you come back for more lessons? I'd be happy to teach all there is to know about being great like me." He bragged, though it felt weird pretending to be pompous like this. Oh well. "Haha, you're so funny. But actually, I was hoping we could go out and play together. We're old enough, the snows melting. It'd be fun." She offered, bouncing up and down at the word fun. Mudpaw seemed to heat up more, fur fluffing up like a fluff ball as it always did at these times. "A-Are y-you sure?" "Of course! I like being around you!" She purred, batting her lashes a bit at him and smiling sweetly at him. That seemed to give him the nudge he needed to nod stiffly in agreement, making her bounce once more. Such a cute trait for the cute molly. "Yay! Come on let's go. Haha." She said eagerly, leading the way, and Mudpaw trying to keep up with the apprentice all to while trying to smooth down his fur.
Bouncepaw continued her bouncing through the slush of snow almost taller than her while Mudpaw had to waddle his way through, finding it a miracle that the creamy molly was so agile. "Where are we going Bouncepaw!?" "It's a surprise silly! You'll see when e get there." She giggled not stopping at all to look back at him as he answered. It was still cold even as the snow was melting and he wasn't really liking getting wet and having his fur cling to him, but she seemed so happy so maybe he could endure for just a little longer. "There!" Bouncepaw announced, stopping and pointing to the frozen river just a ways away. "The river? What about it?" "Nothing. We have to cross the river to get where we're going." She said in a trill like hum, padding over the river and placing a paw onto it. "Don't you think that's a bad idea?" Mudpaw questioned as he lightly tapped the ice with a claw, not trusting it to hold any type of weight. "How is it a bad idea? Ice is strong. It'll hold I'm sure see!" She exhibited by doing her regular light bouncing on the river's ice. "Hey, hey, hey, hey. Ok ok, I get it. Now stop before you break the ice." He called to her in worry, checking the ice for any Dave rousing damage. Satisfied that she wasn't being questioned anymore, Bouncepaw stopped and sat down, tail wagging slowly as she looked at him and beamed a smile. "Come on slow poke. We'll be here all sun high if you don't move you paws." She teased, giggling as she waited for him.
The tom gulped as he fully stepped on the ice, nearly slipping at his first step but catching his balance. He didn't like this one bit. Something in his gut was telling him something just wasn't right. And despite the warnings going off in his mind, in his soul, Mudpaw still walked across the river. The world seemed to stand still as each paw crossed the frozen tundra and he was more aware of his heavy breathing. 'One step at a t-' "Hurry up Mudpaw!" Bouncepaw whined seemingly bothered he was taking so long. "Hold on! This takes concentration." "No it doesn't! It say it just needs a little bounce." She purred, beginning to her way to his side. Sounds of cracking filled the air, frightening Mudpaw into freezing on the spot. "B-Bouncepaw, you gotta stop." "Stop what?" She asked, now bouncing by his side and causing more cracks to form around them. "The ice is going to crack!" He said, fur fluffed to the fullest out of fear of the cracks below him. Bouncepaw finally stopped, looking down as well, finally taking note of what she had done. But she didn't look afraid. No.. she was smiling. smirking even. She began to hum as she lightly stepped around him, making each step a stop on the ever cracking ice. "It's too bad Mudpaw." She giggled, walking rough circles around him. "This was too easy really. I mean, who would willing follow some cat onto thin ice?" She giggled beginning to walk back to the shore of the river then turn to look back at him with a look of mock sadness. "It's too bad too. You were so cute. But boss says you have to go so... Ah, but I'll surely miss you." "Wait, Bouncepaw! W-What are you-" "Bye-bye Mudpaw." She waved before giving the ice one last rough bounce before jumping back to shore and watching the cracks grow and grow until the iced river gave in under his paws, sending the fluffy brown apprentice down under. Bouncepaw watched for a moment as he flailed under the ice before bouncing away back to camp. Along the way, she passed a tree where her mentor sat in waiting. "Did I do good Nettlefoot?" She asked, earning a proud nod from her mentor. "Of course my little apprentice. Now come, let's create some... distress in the clan." The warrior gave a dark chuckle before leading her bouncing apprentice back to camp.
Jaystar paced her den, Aspenleaf looking nervously at her paws while Thrushclaw tapped his paw in thought. Aspenleaf had just told them about the dream she had and the prophecy they spoke to her and, least to say, no one was happy. "What do they mean by 'last cry'?" "I don't know, but I'd hate to find out..." Aspenleaf told the deputy honestly, shaking her had as well. The two looked at Jaystar who continued to pace, not saying a word just yet as her fur seemed to fluff up now and then as she thought. "Jaystar?" Her mate asked hesitantly. She finally stopped and looked at him, a serious look in her eye and a slight hint of fear in her eyes. "Our enemies grow strong but can we trust our friends? Don't you see? One of our allies is not what it seems. I'd bet it has something to do with Beechclan. I've always knew something about Sorrelstar was off and this must be Starclan's warning about them!" She said strongly, sureness in her voice. Thrushclaw wasn't too sure about it but it was true something was strange with that one. Aspenleaf was more relieved than anything to have a reason to shift the blame on some cat else. It was killing her to be afraid of her sweet apprentice. Jaystar began to say something else, but in that instant Nettlefoot burst ine alongside Bouncepaw and Thistlethorn, all looking in panick. "Jaystar. M-Mudpaw is..."

forgetful. wrote:as oatcatcher patrolled the area, he could not stop thinking about hoppaw - she had turned into a warrior today. well, she was known as hopstripe now, not hoppaw. the young tom once had feelings for his mentor, but he knew that she would never think of him that way. while he was somewhat heartbroken over his first crush, he decided that he had some chance with hopstripe. she was a sweet she-cat who could definitely cheer him up when he was down. however, he was not sure if she liked him. maybe she was only being nice to him because she felt bad. flattening his ears, he shook his head and proceeded to patrol. he did want to think of anything negative right now.
while the apprentices were learning how to swim, tigerpaw stared down at the flowing water with dismay. he had never enjoyed being close to this stream, especially when it was flowing quickly. he snapped out of his thoughts when bramblepaw spoke. "don't tell me you're scared of water, tigerpaw!" she had laughed which made him hiss quietly in embarrassment. shaking his head, he leaped into the water and found himself unable to keep his head up above the water. his paws smacked against the water's surface as he tried to breath in air and not the water. thankfully, his mentor, blossomstep, came to his rescue. his mentor leaped into the water and grabbed him by the scruff to drag him out. embarrassed, tigerpaw ran back toward the camp and went to his mother's den to hide from his siblings who were no doubt laughing at him. however, his siblings were silent and did not make fun of tigerpaw for nearly drowning in the fast current of the stream.[/list]
