Last moon
Rainpaw trotted back towards camp with a small shrew clutched in her maw. While she wasn't necessarily surprised that she caught something because she knew how to hunt, she was surprised that the hunt went semi-smoothly. Rainpaw was very on edge the entire morning, jumping at every rustle, hoping it wasn't Copperleaf's patrol in the area. It took a while for Rainpaw to calm down enough to properly stalk the shrew. Now that it was dead in her jaws, she was thrilled to have contributed to the Clan. That feeling started to disappear, however, as she approached the edge of camp. She heard the somewhat distressed Stormstrike's voice echoing throughout the trees before she even entered.
"You don't think some other cats snatched her?" Rainpaw heard him exclaim. It only now dawned on her that she might be missed if she got back later than she originally planned. Wanting to disappear back into the city rather than face her distraught mentor, she slunk around to the back of the cabin, hoping to be unnoticed. Maybe she could play this off as she took a nap in the cabin and her Clanmates just simply missed her in her nest. Unfortunately, she didn't get a chance to try anything as Morningstar spotted her slinking against the ground.
"Rainpaw," Morningstar's voice was sharp. "Come. Here. Now." Rainpaw froze. She had never heard the leader sound so angry. Keeping her head down, she stopped in front of Stormstrike and Morningstar with the shrew hanging limply from her mouth. She should of dropped it outside the camp somewhere, but it was too late now.
"Rainpaw!" Stormstrike started but a swift flick of Morningstar's tail halted him.
"What is in your mouth?" The leader's voice was harsh.
"Just a bird." Rainpaw set it down gently at her feet. Her voice was barely above a whisper.
"And how did you get that bird?"
"I..." She found no reason to lie at this point. "Caught it." Perhaps if she was looking up, Rainpaw would have seen flashes of pride on both Stormstrike and Morningstar's faces. "I-I'm sorry, I just wanted to..." Rainpaw trailed off.
"We were worried about you," Morningstar now had a sliver of warmth in her voice now. "Perhaps if you followed directions, you could have accompanied me to the Moonpool."
"I'm really sorry." Rainpaw repeated.
"What's done is done." Morningstar dipped her head to rest it on Rainpaw's. "You'll remember this lesson for next time."
"Yes, Morningstar."
Copperleaf was crouched in the trees, watching. She had gone a little past the currently marked borders, seeing if there was any other valuable area surrounding they could possibly use. The trees over here, however, were younger and less sturdy. Copperleaf wasn't enjoying the amount of dipping the branch was doing under her weight, but her mind was preoccupied as there was a light she-cat sniffing the marked TwistedClan's borders down below. She assessed the new cat; she looked strong enough and well-fed. A good candidate for another warrior, Copperleaf thought. So, she snaked her way down the shaky tree to greet the cat.
The she-cat watched Copperleaf approach with guarded eyes. "Are these your scent markers?"
"Yes, they are TwistedClan's borders. If you want to come any farther, you would either have to fight or come with me to join our ranks." Copperleaf offered. The she-cat sized her up. If a fight did break out, it looked like it would be an even match.
"I'll come with you, but I'll keep my claws out." The new cat decided.
"Good decision." Copperleaf pushed past her, still focused on finishing her border patrol. "I'll show you where our territory ends on the off-chance you don't stay."
Morningstar was pleased with the new Clanmate Copperleaf brought back. She had christened her Birchwhisker, and she seemed like a proper fighter. Birchwhisker would be a nice addition to the Clan as a strong warrior. While Stormstrike may look intimidating, he was perhaps annoyingly nice. Copperleaf was no stranger to scraps either, but she preferred to manipulate her opponents, and the scariest thing about Spottednose was his ability to sleep through anything. Morningstar appreciated Birchwhisker's muscles shining through her groomed fur, and knew she didn't want to get on her bad side.
Present
Stormstrike was overseeing Rainpaw's punishment of sneaking out of camp of clearing out all the old nests when he smelled a new cat off in the brush. "Hello?" He called out, frightening his working apprentice.
The leaves shook as a small orange tabby burst through. "Is this TwistedClan?" The unknown tom cat asked.
"Yes," Stormstrike was too excited to notice Rainpaw hiding behind him. "You know of us?"
"I don't know about that." The tom shrugged. "Dead cats told me to come here, and I spend my life trying not to be dead, so I listened to them."
"Good enough. I'm Stormstrike and this is Rainpaw." He glanced around before realizing the apprentice crouched behind him. He shuffled to the side so she was visible. Rainpaw did not enjoy this.
"I'm Star." The tom introduced.
That name will definitely have to change. Stormstrike thought as he led Star towards the center of camp. Or keep it and become the next leader.
After thinking of this brilliant career path, Stormstrike was disappointed the tom was appointed as Sunchaser and would never become Starstar.
Spottednose was becoming paranoid. It seemed that everyday he had to find a new place to store the deathberries to make sure they were safe and out of the way. Now he was beginning to regret bringing them into the camp to begin with. He practically jumped out of his skin when Stormstrike dropped by to say hello or whatever.
"Um, sorry." Stormstrike chuckled. "I didn't mean to startle you."
"It's fine." Spottednose hurriedly swept the berries underneath beech leaves he had recently collected. "Just tidying up." He grabbed the bundle and placed it at the very base of the main bush that was storing the medicine herbs.
"There's another new cat!" Stormstrike continued on. "Sunchaser!"
"Great, another name to remember." Spottednose muttered.
"Also, if you need any help cleaning, Rainpaw would be available." Stormstrike said as he turned away. "It's nice that Morningstar wasn't too hard on her since she did have a successful hunt, but I'm not sure Rainpaw's too pleased with having to tidy around the camp for another moon."
"I'll let you know if I need her." Spottednose said but knew he would never take him up on the offer. Too much liability.
"Anyway, I'm off to charm Birchwhisker into hunting with me." Stormstrike waved his tail energetically. "Wish me luck."
"More like good luck to her." Spottednose shot back. Stormstrike just laughed.
