QuartzClan - OPEN AND ACCEPTING

┗-----------------------------------------------┛

Uncomfortably, the young black she-cat curled her tail over her paws. Her amber gaze staring out over the clan as they all started to rush around doing their duties. Toms left for hunting and patrolling, queens started to move around cleaning the camp and making sure kits didn't get into trouble. And the apprentices milled around working with their mentors, or their friends. Stormyfalls blinked and lifted her gazed to the sky, she had nothing to do right now, or at least, she avoided what she should be doing. Which was to work in the nursery with the kits. She had once longed to be able to have kits, but in this time, under Gardenia, she dreaded it. What life would she be bringing her kits into. No, she was not looking forward to trying for kits any time soon, not that she would be given a choice. Gardenia would make sure her and Juniperfoot were trying. And just the thought made her heart sink in her chest.

┗-----------------------------------------------┛

Stretching his limbs out from his soak in the sun, the red tom glanced around. His eyes scanning his surroundings for the only cat his eyes ever searched for. Gardenia. When he couldn't find her, his eyes wandered, until they settled on a young tomcat, his apprentice Raggedpaw. The striped cat stepped toward the tom, who seemed to be searching for someone. "Raggedpaw, are you looking for someone in particular?" He called to his apprentice. His left ear flicked to the sound of talking between other cats before he strode towards the younger tabby. "If you're not waiting on anyone, I think it's high time I took you out for training. What do you say? I'm sure you're itching to get out of camp and stretch your legs, yes?" His gaze drifted momentarily to search again for Gardenia, but he still couldn't see her anywhere.

Marigold - 18 moons - Red and black tabby she-cat with amber eyes - Mate: Stageleap

Marigold turned to her apprentice and smiled. "I think we will be helping find good bedding for the apprentices. There is a good tree a little bit past the camp. Come one and if we do this quickly, we can learn how to attack and defend." She meowed. She had been feeling differently which caused her to be a little unsettled. Trying to teach her apprentice how to defend and attack was not like her.

Shatteredheart//tom//warrior//24 moons

With the patrol behind him, he trekked to a large oak tree. "This place has a lot of squirrels and mice." He turned to the cats. "Lilypaw, I want you to catch me something." He meowed, through a grin. "So climb up the tree and go!" He commanded.

Howlfrost//tom//elder//30 moons

He took his prey back to camp, sneaking in the way he used to sneak out to see Gardenia. He dropped his rabbit and voles into the fresh-kill pile, before heading to the Elder's den. He noticed a lot of commotion happening at the medicine cat den again. He looked over and saw his assigned mate. He sighed and trotted over there. "Goldenheart what's wrong?" He asked.

Bubblingbrook//she-cat//medicine cat//8moons

She waited for Goldenheart to reply to her question, while Howlfrost came over and demanded what's going on. It was all very confusing for the young she-cat. She closed her eyes as the world starting spinning around her.


Carnationbloom//she-cat//queen//

She pushed herself against Dapplepool. "Asterpaw is my son as well. She told my daughter to let my son die. I will never respect her." She meowed and padded away.

Lillypaw/9 moons/ apprentice/Mollie/crush:cinnamonpaw

Lillypaw turned to Shatteredheart with a smile of her own and then climbed up the tree. She got to the first branch and looked down. She rolled her eyes and then continued up On her fourth or fifth branch, she stopped to smell the air and found a squirrel. She quietly climbed up to where it was hiding and then turned and saw that it was an old branch but there was a pile of leaves underneath. She approached the squirrel and right as she felt the branch start to break, she lunged grabbed the squirrel and jumped off the branch to the pile of leaves. She was not hurt but as she walked out of the leaves and held the squirrel up She saw the branch coming down and stepped out of the way before dropping the piece of prey at Shatteredheart's paws. Going behind Shatteredheart to be in the patrol, she sat down and started to lick her fur and clean her her pelt of leaves.

Snailfang
40 Moons
Queen
Mentor to Grasspaw
Mated to Strikestep
With Grasspaw
At Camp

Upon hearing her name, the brown tabby focused both her eyes and years on the young molly who addressed her. Snailfang was glad to see her apprentice was awake, but she was unsure as to how to proceed as Grasspaw complained about all the chores she had been doing lately. Her heart ached sympathetically for the she-cat whose growth was being stunted as she learned nothing of how to care for herself. Snailfang wished she could pass on her favorite battle moves, but now, she thought the best way to protect Grasspaw was to avoid giving Gardenia a reason to have her executed. Still, Snailfang at least hoped to give Grasspaw a break in routine, so after a slight hesitation, she managed to come up with something.
"Morning, Grasspaw."
Snailfang affectionately batted Grasspaw's shoulder with a sheathed paw.
"Well, aside from moss and ticks, there is one other thing a queen should know. Kits, of course. You'll need to practice so you can raise them well."
Though she sounded reasonably cheerful, Snailfang felt her stomach churn at how easily those words came out of her mouth. Perhaps it was because she did agree that raising kits to the best of one's ability was a queen's most important duty. All she had to overlook was that she was meant to imply a she-cat could be nothing more than a queen.

Laburnumpaw
12 Moons
Apprentice
Mentored by Autumnleaves
Crushing on Cinderpaw
With Cinderpaw
At the Fresh-Kill Pile

Laburnumpaw purred along with her fellow apprentice, relieved to hear that everything was fine after all. It seemed Cinderpaw was just a bit clumsy from grogginess. How cute!
"Oh, yes, I did.", Laburnumpaw responded when asked how she had slept. "Like a log!"
She bent down to select a small shrew from the pile, glad to share Cinderpaw's company as the first thing she did that day. Life was rough sometimes, especially in the last few months, but that just made pleasant moments like these all the more important. After settling herself beside Cinderpaw, Laburnumpaw turned to her with genuine interest at the mention of some "particularly nice" dream Cinderpaw had been fortunate enough to have.
"Oh? It must have been good to have you so distracted that you're tripping over yourself.", she teased cheekily. "Tell me all about it."

》GOLDENHEART !!

xxGoldenheart turned to the medicine cat, noting how dizzy she seemed and the amount of cats coming through the den must not have been helping. "Of course I can." She assured, purring lightly in the attempt to distill the tenseness of the situation. Her attention was brought immediately to Howlfrost, the tom having entered at, quite honestly, a good time. She picked up Moonkit carefully by the scruff, showing the elder the kitten before resuming her licking, unsure of his reaction. "Flamefoot found them. I think it's only fair we should take them in-?" She proposed, shifting anxiously for a moment.

》DAPPLEPOOL !!

queen┊molly┊tags: carnationbloom, shatteredheart's patrol┊location: camp, clearing

xxShe only sighed gently at the queen's frustration, meowing her goodbyes as the molly went to do what she pleased. Her attention had drawn to the entrance for a brief moment, noticing her apprentice accompanying the toms headed out on patrol. Anxiety prickled at her pelt, and noting that Gardenia had returned. If the leader noticed her, Dapplepool could merely claim she was going out to make dirt. Her tail hung low as she slipped outside of the camp, paws itching before she broke out into a sprint to track the patrol. The soft thud only caused the queen more alarm, and only to find her apprentice shaking off leaves.
xx"What in StarClan's name do you think you're doing?" Her anger directed at both Shatteredheart and Lillypaw. How absolutely absurd, and not only that, she knew for a fact this was one of Gardenia's loyalists. "Lillypaw, you're coming to camp with me. You should be ashamed, Shatteredheart; don't think Gardenia won't be hearing about this, regardless of how I think of her. The last thing we need are warriors condoning apprentices going against a murderer." She hissed, tail throwing up leaves in her both disappointment and fear.

》CINDERPAW !!

apprentice┊molly┊tags: laburnumpaw┊location: camp, fresh-kill pile

xxOf course! Poor thing probably thought she was still chasing that prey, if she really thought about it, how truly clumsy of her. She longed to hunt again, nothing made her happier. Except, maybe, Laburnumpaw of course.
xx"That makes me happy! You deserve the rest." Cinderpaw purred, pressing against the molly as she shared the spot beside the apprentice. She dug into the prey she had chosen before beginning her story, the warm and metallic taste of the wild animal instilling some energy in the young molly. "So!" She started, popping up excitedly to preform her dream, crouching down in front of Laburnumpaw and pretending the mouse was the squirrel from her dreams. "There was this big - huge, even! - squirrel, teasing me this entire time, and we were running in the forest," She stalked close to the mouse, muscles ready to pounce. She could hardly forget the hunting crouch that her mentor taught her those two moons ago, and soon enough the she-cat leaped, jumping over the mouse as not to splash her friend with any of the precious red blood, and instead landed beside her, back in the place she had laid down at when she invited the other to join her for a meal. "And I caught it just like that!"
xxCinderpaw purred before settling down, digging in again as some of the excitement had already drained her energy, licking her nose. "What was your dream?"

》ROSEKIT !!

kit┊molly┊tags: palekit┊location: camp, nursery

xxThe kit mumbled something as her brother's voice interrupted her dreams. Her soft blue eyes opened as she left the dream realm, only to see Palekit waiting for her. "What do you need? I was dreaming-" The molly mumbled, standing and stretching before padding up closer to her littermate, half-asleep and almost tripping over her mothers tail.

The charcoal snow bengal hadn't been able to sleep for very long in the night, and has been out in the forest since then. He had been having nightmares for a while, about his ex-mate accusing him of abandoning her and Spider for a clan cat. Sure, he could ask Bubblingbrook for some poppy seeds to help him sleep, or stay up being useful. He'd rather the latter.

The sleek white tom narrowed his eyes at the younger tom, holding back a growl. "And what would you have done if she'd broke something, Shatteredheart?" He walked away, deciding that he would head towards the Spirit River. It took a bit, but he tended to visit the river when he could, so when he scented something off, to say he was a bit surprised was an understatement. "What are you doing in QuartzClan territory?" He asked, he could've easily attacked but once he noticed the kit, even though her son seemed to be about apprentice age, he simply sat down.

The soft tuxedo had already walked away from the rest of the patrol, as he'd actually like to get some hunting done before the day was over. He parted his jaws ever so slightly to scent the air around him, mostly scenting his clanmates and faint mouse.They must've already scared it. Guess I'm not far enough away yet. He huffed, mildly annoyed as he padded even further away from his clanmates.

The darker-spotted sphynx gave a worried look to the female apprentice when his mentor sent her up the tree. She could've easily broken her neck! Everyone knows that you can die from falling from a tree! Unless. . . that was his point. He felt a cold shiver down his spine, hoping he could go hunt without having to do that same thing.

Lillypaw/9 moons/ apprentice/Mollie/crush:cinnamonpaw

Lillypaw looked up at her mentor and sighed. "But...I planed on what I did. I planed to jump into the leaves and i'm not hurt. Did you see the squirrel I got?" She meowed looking over at the squirrel in front of Shatteredheart. She walked over to her mentor and looked back at the patrol. "Could one of you bring back my squirrel when you guys are done?" She meowed preparing to walked back to camping hoping that her mentor would let her stay with the patrol.

ＳＯＵＬＦＬＡＭＥ || molly || fifteen moons || tags; ---

the molly was overly bored and she had nothing really to do. shaking her had, she managed to find herself a ball of moss. seeing as there was nothing much for the former loner to do here, she pushed the moss back and forth with an exposed claw. "and one would think this would be more interesting." she scoffed as her gaze focused dully on what she was doing.

ＳＨＡＤＯＷＳＴＥＰ || tom || forty one moons || tags;

the onyx colored tom watched as the young apprentice fell out of the tree. that was not at all how hunting was suppose to go, she definitely could have broken something. when she seemed to have wanted to show off, it just made it worse, there was no need for her to try and impress such a arrogant tom like him. shaking his head, he picked up the pace, moving past the cats within his patrol and to the front, he was tired of looking at everyone's backside. the tom also noticed that some of the patrol had branched out, probably to hunt along the way.

ＳＴＡＧＬＥＡＰ || tom || twenty moons || tags; coldpaw

he knew there was a possibility that he could get into trouble by taking fawleaf and her apprentice with himself and his. though he could easily use the excuse of they were looking for moss and he needed help showing coldpaw a certain move, that wouldn't go as bad as them actually getting caught doing it. the tom nodded to coldpaw. "we'll wait until fawleaf gets here, then we'll head out, you'll need someone around your size to practice on." he told him in response.

The tom's anger quickly turned to contentment as JuinperFoot spoke, he smiled at the young tom "Sure, a good hunt will get me moving." He meowed before standing and stretching. "So," he said as he began walking towards the entrance," Were you with your nieces?" He inquired, hoping for easy small talk.

"Sounds good to me!" The Molly meowed, her tail swishing as she fell in step behind SnailFang. Although it wasn't the exciting thrill from hunting or battle, Grasspaw did enjoy kits. "We'll be seeing the little ones, right? They're so cute, and they're tiny little paws, and-" Grasspaw excitedly chattered now, her high energy speech rolling off her tongue.
