The medicine cat muttered under her breath, getting a laugh from her apprentice. "What do you find so funny?" "Oh nothing, nothing." Hearthflame shook his head, but still looked on the verge of laughing. "Oh nothing." "It better be. Now, let's hurry out before he reaches me..." She said lowly. Hearthflame had to hold back another laugh as Aspenleaf pretended not to see Russetfall as the two padded straight past him and out of the camp. The tom, who had been smiling all the while, finally let it go as he saw her pad right past him. Maybe she didn't see him? Well that's what he chose to think. Russetfall sighed, another attempt ruined by bad luck. "You know it hurts to watch you do this to yourself..." Came the voice of Blackstreak, sliding up beside his friend, eyes on the entrance of the camp where Aspenleaf just exited. "Do what?" "She obviously wants nothing to do with you Russetfall." "Psh. She's just playing hard to get. She wants me-" "NO SHE DOESN'T!" Blackstreak suddenly shouted, making silence fall over the clan as they all eyed the dark tom in shock and surprise. Blackstreak was normally a quiet, peaceful tom, never saying to much, always willing to help. But here he was shouting, louder than any has heard him simply speak. Russetfall even taken back as his demeanor and smile simply fell, more so than when Aspenleaf ignored him. "Blackstreak? Are you o-" "I'm fine! I'm just-.. I'm gonna go for a walk." Was all he said before turning and stalking off. Russetfall was both confused and a little upset watching his best friend leave, but he couldn't find any words to say. What could have upset him so badly?
Blackstreak honestly couldn't believe Russetfall was so blind to miss what was right in front of him. No matter what the tom did, no matter how close or how many signs he threw his friends way, he just couldn't get the simple fact that he loved him to that tom. It honestly made him want to cry or scream or..... something. I'll just go for a run... He thought himself, always feeling way less stressed after exerting all his energy from running. Just as he braced himself for the run, his sister came walking out of the bushes and right into him. "Owie...." "Ouch.." They said at the same time, rubbing their slightly pained head and side. "What in the name of the moon are you doing out here Whitenose?" Blackstreak hissed softly to his sister, licking his ruffled fur down. The white molly continued to rub her nose for a bit before trying to think of a reason other than seeing Smokeclaw. "I was actually looking for you. Sorry for running into you though." "Looking for me? What for?" "Well... What would you say about being an uncle?" She asked, smiling. Blackstreak stared at her for a while, green eyes gazing and trying to gauge what the heck she was talking about. Then those same green eyes widened as he finally made the connection. "Are you-" "I am." She purred in response to his agape maw. "Wait how?" "Well, when a molly and a tom love each other very much-" "Not that mouse brain! I mean how! With who?" Blackstreak demanded, glancing from her blue eyes to her stomach as if it would answer her question. It didn't but that didn't seemed to stop the black tom from trying. "Is it Brackenfern? You two are pretty close." He guessed, knowing that those two were best friends the instant the shy tom joined Soulclan. Though, becoming mates so fast would be a bit much. "No it isn't." She said, making Blackstreak sigh in relief. His sister was smarter than he, as a brother, assumed. "I want to tell you but... can it wait for a while?" She asked, ears drooping a bit as she looked at him with wide eyes that told him to simply 'wait for it'. The black tom hesitated for a moment, worried about who could be the father and lover to his little sister and nd only family. But he also didn't want to pry too much and push her away. "Alright. But promise to tell me?" "Oh dear stars of course! You know I can't keep anything from you!" Whitenose giggled, stepping up and nuzzling against him and purring and day thing little. "Thank you for understanding brother." She smiled before turning to go back to camp. But she paused. "Oh! And when you get back, you have to tell me what's wrong. Something's got you upset and I need to know. Ok, bye." She mewed, leaving a surprised black warrior staring after her. Of course she could tellsomething was up. They were twins after all. Blackstreak sighed and smiled, shaking her head after her before turning to go off for a run.
Cinderblaze smiled as Asptail mentioned Claywhistle always asking for her. It made her happy to know she had such a close friend like that somewhere else in the world. Though her smile didn't last for long as she scented the sickening smell of blood and cat sight of the bloody image before her. She stumbled back, frightened, disgusted, angered, and horrified all at once. A fox, a kit, the signs were clear as day. The scent stabbed at her nose and made her dizzy. She wanted to vomit but she somehow didn't. Cinderblaze opened her mouth to speak but stopped immediately as Asptail beat her to it. "What? No, Asptail let me help." But he didn't seem to here her as he turned off without a word. "Asptail wait! Asptail!" She called. Her words fell on death ears though as he was out of sight. SheShe watched his form disappear before looking sadly only to see the horrific image once again. She turned away from it, padding back to her camp slowly, wobbling from the scene now burned in her mind. "There you are Cinderblaze! We were just looking for you!" "Yea, Join us for hunting!" Firestrike and Ashfur said as they looked back and from their small group a little ways away. She was going to decline, thoughts still on the Asptail and the poor kit that perished in Beechclan but... "Y-Yea sure." She and agreed eventually, wanting to get that distasteful image from her mind. Sadly... it wasn't working...
Doeheart sat nuzzled around her new ball of fluff, a brown tabby molly that was relatively small. The small flash of light entering the nursery made the queen glance up to see Brackenfern coming in with a mouse just for her. She smiled at him. He had always brought something to eat for her ever sense that day and made her happy every time. He was such a great tom. "Hello there Brackenfern." "Hi Doeheart." He said, dropping the mouse by her paws and siting down gently a little ways away aways to respect her space. The brown tom looked over the kit with a soft smile on his lips before looking at Doeheart. "She's adorable." "Thank you. I named her Tiny. Tinykit." She smiled looking from him to the small kit and giving her a few lick on her head. "A cute name too." Brackenfern chuckled causing the queen to join in too. "Now you're just flattering her. Don't boost her ego now as a newborn." "Ah man. I was so ready to spoil her too." He teased. Doeheart oddly blushed at that a bit but looked away to groom Tinykit again to hide it. When said kit began to let out her little cries of hunger Brackenfern got to his paws. "I guess that's my cue. Take care ok? If you need anything just ask." He smiled kindly before leaving, but not before nudging the mouse he brought closer to the speckled queen. "Oh, and make sure you eat."
Thistlethorn watched as her apprentice ran off to go tell her siblings about what she had learned during their training. The warrior had to admit that, for a sick kit, she sure was a fast learner. Which would only serve Thistlethorn's purpose all the more. Nettlefoot approached her sister and nudged her slightly. "What are you plotting sister dearest?" She asked in that sweet voice of hers that was heavy with false truth. Thistlethorn smirked as she turned her gaze to her sister saying nothing as if telling her a secret without words. Nettlefoot seemed to get it though as her sweet smile switched to that of as devious smirk. "What do you need me to do?" She asked, clearly ready for whatever plot her sister created. "Think you can find me some death berries sis?" "Of course. Leave it to me." She nodded. "Some yarrow too if you can. Or at least lead the medicine cats to it. This will be a battle of resilience." Nettlefoot nodded before the sisters shared in quiet devious laughter, then she left, beginning her search. Though.. what did yarrow look like?
Jaystar sighed as she gazed at the moon then down to the pool that it shimmered upon. Leaf-bare was around the corner and she was worried about her clan's safety. Her nose touched the water and her eyes closed briefly before they opened to the starry cats in front of her now. "Hello my ancestors. Thank you for your continued support in Soulclan's rising. We are many, we are strong. And wig out you, we would be nothing. So thank you. I have actually come to ask of you for a new friend. An ally of sorts. Not for me no, maybe another clan would be willing to be friends. An ally clan is all I ask for today. Thank you Starclan. Thank you."
