Skypaw // She-cat // 6 1/2 moons // Med. Cat Apprentice // crush: open // tags: Lunapelt, nursery
After waking, Skypaw sat up groggily. She stretched her forepaws out in front of her with a content purr, and she looked around the den. She saw that her mentor was gone and padded out into camp when she spotted Lunapelt by the nursery. Hurriedly, Skypaw moved to her side to try and offer any assistance.

Owlpaw // Tom // 9 moons // Apprentice // crush: open // tags: Hawktalon
After he woke, Owlpaw quickly popped out of the apprentice den, ready for the day. He found his mentor quickly and made his way over. "Good morning, Hawktalon. W-what, um, are we doing today?" the young tom asked.

Rippledawn // She-cat // 19 moons // Hunter // crush: Willowmist // tags: open
Rippledawn was curled up in her nest, snoring loudly. In her dreams, she was swimming, and in the den, her legs started to flail wildly, kicking moss up and severely mis-shaping her nest.

Pearpelt // Tom // 42 moons // Warrior // mate: Wolfheart // tags: Wolfheart, Bearpaw
He meet Wolfheart's eye and smiled. He curled his tail over his tail while he waited for her to join him. "Good morning," Pearpelt meowed happily, standing to meet his mate and lick her cheek. "Will your apprentice be joining us?" he added with a warm glance towards the young tom.

Elmwind-tom-senior warrior

Elmwind yawned. He had gone on the dusk patrol and wasn't able to fall back to sleep. It had taken a toll on him now, however, and he was struggling to stay awake. He layed his head on his paws and dozed off, snoring slightly.

Tigerpool-she-cat-warrior

Tigerpool watched as Swiftleap entered the camp. Her heart fluttered and she sighed. She thought of her own mate and rolled her eyes. 'I wish I could be with Swiftleap.' She thought 'I wouldn't even care if he liked me back.'

Eaglefrost had, had her attention as soon as he had returned to camp, her pale blue eyes following his movements as she watched him place his prey on the fresh kill pile. She sat up a little straighter when he grabbed the mouse and made his way back over to her. Quietstar let out a small soft purr as he joined her and dipped her head "Thank you." she said her voice as soft as the purr it followed. Quietstar usually spoke very softly, despite her position of authority she was still just as quiet as ever, which was no surprise given her name. "I suppose you woke up before even I did." she commented before she nudged the mouse closer to him. "Are you hungry as well? We could share it?" she offered her gaze never leaving him. She faintly wondered how long he'd been awake and if he was still tired. Truthfully she still felt the small pull of weariness calling for her to climb back into her nest but she ignored it.

Swiftleap padded back to camp his brother Hawktalon dragging his paws behind him. Swiftleap insisted on getting up early every morning that he could and going out hunting right away. Which seemed pretty unfortunate for his brother because he dragged him with him everywhere. Since their relationship had grown stronger Swiftleap had been forcing Hawktalon to do everything with him. No matter how early it was or how much Hawktalon despised mornings. Swiftleap didn't seem to notice how cranky this made Hawktalon. Or if he did he chose to blatantly ignore it. He carried the rabbit he had caught over to the nursery and set it down just inside it before he turned and headed back over to Hawktalon.

Hawktalon yawned slightly, he turned his head quickly as he heard his name giving Owlpaw a piercing glare before he realized who he was and his gaze softened. "Oh good morning Owlpaw." he replied calmly. He flicked his tail slowly "I was thinking of asking you the same thing." he replied with a small smirk. "What do you think we should work on?" he asked tilting his head slightly as he spoke. He honestly wanted to know what Owlpaw wanted to work on more. Sure he could guide him and tell him what he thought he needed to work on. Which worked most days. But how would he ever really know what Owlpaw felt less confident with if he never asked him for his own opinion? It was his training after all.

Reedgaze slowly opened her eyes, stretched, and let out a small yawn. She then curled up tighter in her nest, did she reaaaally have to get up? She purred sleepily as she glanced around for Russetfox. Would he mind her being lazy? He was one of the senior hunters.. You didn't get that by being lazy but.. How could anyone resist their warm nest? She sighed as she looked towards the entrance to the den. She needed to get up.. Even if she didn't want to.

Pinesting was still curled up in his nest still asleep and unaware of his clanmates waking up around him. He was busy dreaming of being announced as moving to be a warrior. Of having led the clan in a great battle and being rewarded for his perceived bravery. Something that probably wouldn't happen, or if it did not until he was older and much more experienced. He wasn't very good at fighting despite training and wanting to be.

☞WRENTALON awoke suddenly from her dream, the scent of the forest and fresh prey lingering long enough to torture her. The calico she-cat blinked the sleep from her bleary, green eyes and let out a quiet yawn. Always one to rise early, the hunter stood in her nest, feeling the satisfying cracks as she stretched her spine, claws kneading contentedly into the material beneath her paws. Turning towards the entrance to the den, she made sure to step lightly among her fellow cats before emerging from the entrance, thick pelt brushing against its sides. Though her pelt appeared full, it betrayed a lithe form beneath, agile and well-suited for hunting. For just a moment, she let herself absorb the damp heat of the rising sun before glancing over her shoulder into the shadowy den she shared with the others. Wrentalon noted where Oakfur was curled up in the nest beside her and the she-cat cocked her head thoughtfully. Turning on her haunches, the hunter trotted easily towards Quietstar, maintaining an appropriate distance as she proceeded to groom her untamed coat. She was always one that believed appearance impacted performance. Wrentalon glanced up at Eaglefrost, their similar green eyes meeting, her own narrowing as she watched how her brother interacted with his mate.

☞BEARPAW dipped his head respectfully, clearly ready for one of his last training sessions to begin. At the invitation to join his mentor and her mate for breakfast, the soot colored tom was a bit surprised. Hiding the sudden shock, honor glinted in his eyes. For the older apprentice, it meant something special to be asked to join two older warriors. "I would love to join you two." Containing his excitement, the large tom turned towards the fresh-kill pile where he quickly picked up a plump mouse, opting to let Wolfheart choose her own prey. As Bearpaw made his way over to Pearpelt, the apprentice caught sight of his two older siblings, giving each a quick flick of the tail. Finally reaching the older tom, he greeted him with the most respect he could muster. "Good morning Pearpelt. I hope it's alright that I join you. It's such an honor to be able to share tongues with both you and Wolfheart." Green eyes glinting excitedly, Bearpaw sat neatly near the couple, keeping a respectable tail length between them.

☞EAGLEFROST could feel his mate's piercing blue gaze boring into him, but it didn't faze him because he recognized no malice behind them. As his leader thanked him, her soft voice brought an uncharacteristically gentle smile to his white muzzle. The large warrior turned now, his pale green gaze locked on the pretty she-cat beside him. "Of course. It was no problem at all. You need to keep your strength up, especially if you're going to lead this rowdy bunch." The flame colored tom hesitated a moment before leaning over to give Quietstar an affectionate lick on her ear. It was a meant to be a gesture of quiet reassurance and mutual love. As she brought up his early start to the day, the warrior gave her a sheepish grin, nodding. "I woke up a bit before sunrise, and even though I tried to get back to sleep, I just couldn't find a comfortable spot in that stuffy den." Shurgging his broad shoulders, he glanced down sharply as a movement caught his keen eyes; it was only her paw. Eaglefrost relaxed once more, staring down at the offering of shared prey with his head tilted slightly to the side in thought. Though he'd eaten a small piece this morning, he could feel his stomach grumbling at him. "I would love to." The broad tom lowered his thick, muscled body to the packed floor of the camp, waiting for his mate to join him. "So what've we got planned for today?"

Tumblespirit stalked a squirrel, killing it quickly before making his way back into camp. He dropped his prey on the fresh-kill pile before joining Hawktalon and Owlpaw.
"Goodmorning Hawktalon, Owlpaw. Would you mind if I joined you with Larkpaw, once she wakes up of course?"
He glanced over at the apprentices den.


Whitewhisker - Tom - 20 Moons - Mate: Peachwing - Tags;; Open
Whitewhisker dropped the mouse on the freshkill pile, noting that it was on the small side. He sat down near the Hunter's den and started grooming his creamy fur. As he drew his tongue across his pelt, he heard a loud yowl out in the forest.
He pricked his ears. "Did anyone hear that?"




Leap - Tom - 13 Moons - Loner - Tags;; Stray Dog, WillowClan

The dog pounded behind Leap and grabbed his tail in its jaws. Yowling in pain, Leap turned and slashed at the dogs eyes before wrenching his tail free and bolting. He came to a small clearing, the dog on his heels, and slid into a group of cats. The dog paused,
haunches bunched and hackles bristling, before howling and pouncing on Leap again. He yowled and twisted under the claws of the dog, his pelt scorching from the pain.

➣ Wolfheart let out a purr as her mate greeted her and licked her cheek. Setting down the vole she had picked out she nodded her head as she sat down the prey. "Good morning Pearpelt." The she-cat mewed as she turned her attention to her apprentice who had came to join the two. She felt pride in her apprentice when he showed respect her her mate, she let it show in her ice blue eyes as she glanced over at her apprentice while she crouched down next to Pearpelt taking a bite out of her prey. As she chewed on the delicious prey all of a sudden a strange cat and a dog came crashing into camp. Wolfheart's pelt bristled as she sprang up next to her mate hissing at the dog who had the strange cat pinned down.

Quietstar let out a soft giggle glancing back towards the clan when he called them a rowdy bunch. A look of pride flashing across her face as she watched them for a moment before she looked back at him again. She hesitated looking at him for a few moments before she settled down beside him "You could always share the leader's den with me. It's just me in there." she offered before she took a bite of the mouse. "Mmm.. I was thinking of announcing who i've picked for deputy before I gathered everyone for patrols actually.. I was thinking-" she cut herself off eyes widening as Leap suddenly burst into camp along with a stray dog. She was on her paws in an instant fur raised and claws out. "What in StarClan's name?!" she snapped her voice much louder than usual.

Swiftleap had been secretly listening in on his brother waiting for his moment to butt in and say something when the dog and the strange cat came crashing into camp. He let out a loud warning hiss as Quietstar shouted and he stood up. Lashing his tail before he stalked forward slowly before he leapt at the dog slashing at it with his claws trying to aim for it's eyes to drive it away from camp. He didn't say anything his mind was on the precious nursery only tail lengths away from the scene.

He glanced over at Tumblespirit and nodded "I don't mind, do you Owlpaw?" he asked glancing back at his apprentice before his head snapped over to the scene unfolding in camp. He moved in front of his apprentice in an instant. He hesitated then, half of him wanting to dash to his brother's aid the other half wanting to stick back and keep his apprentice safe.

In an instant Reedgaze had exited the den with Pinesting eyes wide as she watched the scene unfold in front of her. She pinned her ears as she watched one of her brothers attack the dog and her gaze flickered to her other brother. She dug her claws into the ground for a moment, waiting for an instant where she could join in before Pinesting rushed past her. She watched him run over to the nursery and she took in a sharp alarmed breath.

Pinesting followed Reedgaze out the noise in camp having woken him up. It only took a few heartbeats before he brushed past her running over to the nursery his heartbeat pounding in his ears. His eyes shone with fear as his mate was in the nursery and he didn't believe she was awake yet or could even get out in time if the dog got any closer.

Elmwind snapped awake. He hissed at the dog and sprang at it. He landed on its back and bit at its ears, tearing through the soft skin.

Tigerpool-she-cat-warrior

Tigerpool bounced up. She rushed at the dog but then stayed back. She drifted towards the nursery to defend it if necessary. She saw her brother leap at the dog and she dug her claws into the ground, praying to StarClan that he didn't get hurt.

Tumblespirit leaped to his paws, snarling at the dog. He bristled, deciding that there where enough cats attacking it. He padded over to the medicine den to protect it. He planted his forepaws in the ground and glared at the dog.


Whitewhisker - Tom - 20 Moons - Mate: Peachwing - Tags;; Open
Whitewhisker's hackles went straight up and he hissed at the dog, but he wasn't allowed to attack. He yowled in defiance and watched the scene unfold. He noted that some cats had thrown themselves at the dog while others had gone to protect the nursery. He raced over to the hunter's den, standing in front of it to protect the cats asleep inside.




Leap - Tom - 13 Moons - Loner - Tags;; Stray Dog, WillowClan

Leap stumbled to his paws as the cats in the clearing launched themselves at the dog. He hung his head, heart pounding, and sucked in lungfulls of air. His neck pounded blood and the pain made his eyes water. He glanced around the clearing, his eyes locking with a she-cat that seemed to be the leader before he stumbled and collapsed.

☞WRENTALON had just begun preparing to search for others to join her on a hunting expedition when she heard the familiar bark of a dog. A mixture of fear and excitement raged inside of her and she whirled around, fluffy pelt raised in anticipation. There it was, the large beast crashing through the front of their camp. As if in slow motion, she watched both of her siblings take action, a strange moment of pride washing over her as she watched them defend their camp and clanmates. Speaking of clanmates... the she-cat noticed a number of cats surrounding the nursery, her own paws carrying her in that direction. There could never be too many paws safeguarding the future of their clan. Believing that the warriors currently fighting off the dog had it under control, the hunter found herself a spot in the wall of cats standing guard in front of the nursery.

☞EAGLEFROST adjust settled in comfortably beside his mate, looking forward to having a pleasant conversation before the day got too hectic. At the offer of sharing her new, larger den, a look of relief flooded the tom's pale eyes. "I would love that. Not only will I have more room, but I'll actually be able to sleep by my mate." The fiery warrior let out a raspy purr, something he wasn't known for. He focused on Quietstar intently, all other senses dampened. Just as she had begun to speak again about the initiation of a new deputy, an arid scent touched the brutish tom's tongue. Too late. In a flash, the mangy dog came charging into the heart of the camp, an equally as mangy cat leading the way. Eaglefrost was on his paws in an instant, hackles raised, upper lip curled back to reveal a glinting set of razor sharp fangs. Immediately, he turned towards the nursery, but Swiftleap had beaten him to the chase. The broad tom glanced quickly at Quietstar, wanting to protect the she-cat above all else. It definitely seemed as though his brute strength would be of necessity against the large creature, so he pelted towards the skirmish, pushing off of the earth with his powerful haunches, his body soaring through the air. Eaglefrost met with the dog's maw, watching its teeth snap shut a mere hair length from his chest. Enraged, the tom set to work, heavy paws with claws unsheathed battering at the mongrel's face and neck. Making contact with vulnerable spots was key, and he felt a surge of satisfaction as his battering met a particularly sensitive spot, forcing the dog to let out a yelp of pain. Snarling, the warrior stood on his back paws, continuing to relentlessly slash at the mouse-hearted creature's chest. "Don't just stand there! I need at least one more cat going for the legs or underbelly!"

☞BEARPAW was just about to dig into his mouse when everything turned to chaos. The older apprentice immediately shot to his paws, coat expanding to twice its normal size. He watched on in horror as he spotted his older brother charge straight for the dog's head. Hearing his cry for assistance and unable to simply stand by, the sooty tom pelted across the camp at full speed, his powerful hind legs propelling him into the side of the dog. Though not able to completely topple the mange-pelt, he did manage to unbalance it, exposing its vulnerable belly. Glancing for only a moment at Swiftleap and Eaglefrost to make sure they hadn't been harmed, he went to work on the dog's stomach, biting and scratching, making sure to avoid its flailing paws as much as possible. Adrenaline coursed through his veins, fueling his attacks until he was almost in a frenzy-like state. Finally, the thick tom-cat leapt back, admiring his handy work.
