Stormheart chuckled slightly at Cherrypaw's pout, "Tough luck," he mewed, giving his apprentice a friendly flick with his tail, "Overestimated and underestimated, now just find the middle ground." He continued further away from camp, keeping his eye on the sun knowing that they'd have to return to the rest of the patrol at sunhigh, but he wanted to give Cherrypaw a chance to catch something good. He kept his ears pricked hoping to hear something. Hunting in the forest was so much different than the fields and it showed in the difficulty the older apprentices and warriors were having catching prey in the trees. There should be others out hunting though, so it was unlikely the clan would go hungry.

At the loner's comments Nightfrost nodded, "Warriors do guard the territory and do much of the hunting. They're also in charge of training the apprentices." She startled slightly at the mention of two of the warriors that were currently in camp, their father being a former clan cat was one thing, but if they had relatives living with the clan now. "There are warriors in the clan with the name Foxglove and Freesiadrop," she looked towards the other warrior with her, "What should we do with them Mossflight?"

Wolfpaw sighed in relief at Mapleheart's words, "Good," he meowed quietly. He crouched down next to Feathercloud and watched the rest of the patrol drive the foxes away. It looked like a lot of them had been hurt, but hopefully not too badly. He was still worried about Willowpaw, but if she wasn't here then that meant she got back to camp. He finally let himself relax a bit and winced slightly at the pain in his shoulder from the bite. He would make sure to get it looked at when they got back.

Willowpaw groggily took in the surroundings in the medicine den. She had never really been in there before. She insisted on hunting rather than helping the medicine cats gather herbs, which she still felt bad about. As she began to resume her consciousness, her eyes took in the surroundings. It was much...neater than she would have expected. Everything organized to the very last cobweb. It put the elder's den right after apprentices clean it to shame.
Her ears flicked towards conversation. She recognized Splashpaw's mew. Willowpaw strained her ears to listen. She heard the remark, She'll be out for roughly a month. A month! "I'll never be a warrior if I can't do anything for a month!" she yowled, ignoring the gentle pain in her side when she did so.

Briarkit's brother, Smokekit, seemed mildly stressed. She dragged herself the long length of a vole to comfort him, only to feel a rough tongue on her head. She meowed in shock.

Emberglow glanced at Turtlemask with slightly unfocused eyes and gestured to her shoulder with her chin.
"My shoulder." She winced as the tom grasped her by the scruff and helped her away from the battle. "Fox got me pretty deep...I think she hit an artery or..." She gasped in pain, teeth gritted, then added, "Or something." She tried to get to her paws so Turtlemask wouldn't have to struggle to lift her and frowned. She had to lift her leg off the ground to avoid putting her weight on it. "I've got a..." She paused, panting as she struggled to keep her balance, "A few other scratches and bites here and there..." Emberglow winced at the sounds of battle still going on around her before continuing. "No-nothing quite as bad as my shoulder." The deputy glowered slightly as her weakness in battle and shook her head, trying to clear her muddled thoughts.

Drizzlepaw gazed at his mentor, eyes glinting as he observed her behavior.
He flicked his ears back upon noticing the effect his questions had on Kestreldawn but held back from saying anything. He glanced down at his prey, feeling somewhat bad for making his mentor uneasy. He should've just kept his jaws shut. The apprentice looked back up at Kestreldawn searchingly; hoping for her to have some words of advice or encouragement. Not those basic statements most cats told him when something wrong was happening. He wanted a heartfelt, honest response. A ghost of a smile appeared on his face at what his she said and he nodded, his stomach settling a bit.
"Y-yeah. You're right. I shouldn't get my tail in a twist it's just..." He trailed off, glaring down at his paws. "I wish I could do something to help." He paused, eyes narrowed, and added "I know our clanmates can handle themselves, I just feel-" He jolted and instantly cut himself off before averting his gaze. He was unloading way too much right now. Sighing, he shook his head dismissively and ducked his head to force down another bite of prey.

Cricketkit cocked his head at his sister, but shrugged and got down in a similar crouch. He lashed his tail and pinned his ears against his head. "Sure. Any rules you wanna set?" He paused, looking around curiously. "Or should we invite anyone else to play?" He sat up straight, glancing around for other kits. It seemed everyone else was rather busy playing already but...maybe he could get Sedgethroat to play with them too? He stared at said queen, eyes flickering uncertainly. Maybe she wouldn't want to play...he didn't want to make her angry or upset...

Peppermint crept away from the group of cats, glad to be away from their collective gazes.
She noticed them noticing her 'sneaking away', but frankly, she didn't care if they saw her leaving. Apparently, the Thicketclan cats didn't mind her sneaking off anyhow as neither commented. She broke into a steady trot once she realized she would be allowed to leave in peace, tail lifted confidently. As the loner slipped into the foliage, leaving the odd cats behind, she felt her muscles relax and her fur flatten. Being a rather tiny she-cat, she typically always had her fur bristling in some way around other cats. Sighing, Pepper gazed longingly at the creek before crossing the so-called 'border'. She was mildly curious about this Thicketclan thing, but most definitely didn't want to affiliate herself with whatever it was.

spacerStormheart's words seemed to only deepen Cherrypaw's pout, but in reality, the apprentice felt much a little better at his light humour. As he followed along, Cherrypaw glanced at the growing light that peeked through the leaves and hastily opened his mouth to ask if they were heading back soon. However, he shut it just as quickly-- the rustle of a couple fallen leaves and twigs caught his attention. Through the corner of his eye, he saw a small sparrow duck behind a tree, presumably pecking at the ground, searching for its own food. "Stormheart," he whispered, to catch the other tom's attention. With a flick of his tail, he motioned towards the area of the prey and mouthed, "Sparrow!". He didn't say anything out loud, but his excitement was still clear as day. His bright eyes shone as he met his mentor's eyes, and they contained a silent question-- could he hunt?.

spacerKestreldawn could only provide her apprentice a sympathetic pout. She shared his concerns, and Drizzlepaw didn't need to say much for her to understand how he felt. It was quite the miserable sight, two restless and worried cats sitting side-by-side, forcing down mouthfuls of food. We just have to wait and see, she recited over and over again in her head. She had abandoned her half-eaten prey and was staring off into the sky, eyes unfocused and unseeing. A loud yowl from the medicine cat den snapped her out of her trance. "Seems like Willowpaw's alive and kicking though," she noted to Drizzlepaw, her spirits partially lifted.

Ignoring his wounds, Brackenstar limped his way quickly over to Emberglow and Turtlemask. Panting, he soon reached them. "Emberglow, are you alright?" the tom asked seriously. "Let me help you back to camp. You're not walking back on your own." He didn't want Emberglow hurting herself even more just for the sake of her pride.

Ivypaw grinned proudly. "I also just have the best mentor," the she-cat replied with a grin. "Wait till I show Cherrypaw what I caught," Ivypaw mewed as she dug a hole and buried her prey. "That'll show him. Just because I'm young doesn't mean I don't know how to hunt," Ivypaw muttered under her breath in hopes that Gorsebriar didn't hear.

Mossflight thought for a second, running through different scenarios in his head. "I think...." He glanced over the two loners. "I think that if you guys would like to come to our camp, we can lead you there. You would be guests and would be treated as guests. If Brackenstar is there, we will take you right to him, if not, we will show you where you may lay until he arrives," the tom proposed. He knew it could possibly be dangerous to bring these loners into their camp, but they seemed to have known so much about the clan that he couldn't shake the feeling that they needed to speak with Brackenstar. Plus, he wanted to see what their leader would think about all of this.

Don't worry about it, Creamflower. I know you must've been dying to get out of camp." The she-cat turned back to Crowshade. "I will, I promise." Sagespot replied to Crowshade. Watching her fellow warrior walk away, the she-cat said goodbye to Creamflower and padded over to the fresh-kill pile and pulled out a small bird. Finding a good place to lay, she plopped down and took a bite out of the prey.

Looking around, panting, he realized all the foxes had run away. Finally... Taking a moment to catch his breath, he decided to wait until everyone else ready to go. It gave him a moment to relax and keep an eye out for any dangers in order to help protect the injured.

Like her brother, Whitekit could feel the tension in the camp, however was naive to what that feeling was. She also kept getting distracted by Snowfoot and his attacks. Whether he liked it or not, she was going to defeat him.

Gently, Mapleheart shook Feathercloud as he tried to wake her. "Come on, Feathercloud. We need you awake." Mapleheart murmured as his adoptive sister's eyes slowly fluttered open. Feathercloud looked around frantically, practically shooting up to her feet, her mind thinking that the foxes were still there. Ultimately, she collapsed when her leg gave out. Looking at the others. "Are the foxes gone?"

The medicine cat then stopped, her head down and looking at the ground. "Yet I cannot take my walk now. If they chased the foxes away, surely there are many wounds from fighting them." She murmured, turning back to face Crowshade. You're insane, Ravenfeather. Even your dearest Ashcloud thinks you are. One of the voices whispered. Ravenfeather ignored the voice but it didn't go away.

Smokekit soon learned it was hopeless. Cloudkit isn't going to wake up. The small tom sighed and curled up in his mother's fur.

At Cherrypaw's whisper he turned his attention to the apprentice and saw the excited gleam in his eye. He gave a nod to indicate the apprentice could go after the sparrow accompanied by an encouraging smile. He was confident that Cherrypaw could catch the bird, so he sat back and waited to watch him in case he needed to give any pointers. He glanced up towards the sun, they should probably head back after this catch, they could hunt a bit more on the way back if necessary.

Nightfrost nodded her agreement at taking the loners back to camp. It could possibly pose a threat, showing non clan cats where they lived, but they were young and already seemed to know quite a bit. Besides, two young loners wouldn't prove too difficult to handle if they did decide to attack someone. She turned her attention back to the cats across the stream waiting to see if they would accept the offer.

Wolfpaw sprang to his paws as Feathercloud opened her eyes, "They're gone," he meowed, making sure to keep his weight off his injured shoulder, "Are you okay? You hit the tree pretty hard." He was no medicine cat, but looking around at the patrol it looked like everyone had at least some kind of injury. Normally he'd be thrilled to have participated in a big fight, but at this point he felt too tired to even feel excited. He hoped they'd be heading back to camp soon, he wouldn't feel truly comfortable until he was back in the apprentice's den.

Creamflower watches Crowshade and Sagespot leave, wondering what she should do in the meantime. She suddenly remembers the fish she was eating earlier that she left without finishing it, so she pads over to where she was previously and found the fish exactly where she left it. She lays down and continues to eat it, savoring the delicious taste.

He sighed keeping his head under his paws still "It sure feels that way, there were no foxes for moons, but that very moment I decide to get out with the patrol the one stupid red-furred dog breath shows up" he meowed lightly hissing. He was silent for a moment "I just hope nobody dies, I am not sure if I could live with myself after it" he told the other elder almost whispering.

She looked at her kits, noticing the Cremaflower at the pile again "Hm? I thought you got out with the patrol? Did something happen or is it the fox on our territory?" she meowed to her, noticing the other few warriors at the camp as well 'hmm the Brackenstar and the others are not back yet? Could there be more than one fox?' she thought.

She watched the Brackenstar's patrol running out her eyes looked over at Aspenpaw, walking to her "Sorry Aspenpaw, we're doing some practicing today, but as you've noticed there seem to be some problems at our territory so we better stay here for a while, before leaving..." she meowed to her "Is that alright with you?" she asked her.

He attacked with fangs and claws to the mother fox, he had got some hits from the red-furred carnivore, but as long they were not that bad, it didn't stop him trying to chase the fox away. When the younger, smaller foxes started to leave the scene their mother didn't leave long, before running after them, taking a deep breath to calm his mind for the adrenaline he had when fighting the fox. Looking around he spotted the Feathercloud there "Do you need any help?" he asked at the she-cat.

After finishing the shrew he got away from the pile, his eyes looking for his mentor and the other two cats which were supposed to be on the patrol they were supposed to go a few moments ago, but the fox onto the territory make them wait for the patrols return. His eyes looked at his mentor there "There seems to be a very large crisis with the foxes when the patrols are not back yet and I am bored" he meowed sighing.

She listened to the two warriors, ears turning to the speaker's side, flicking her tail lightly as they agreed that they were the names of the warrior they were mentioned to be their father's siblings "Oh cool then this much to be the right clan then" she meowed to them and her brother.

He flicked his ears toward the warriors "If you want to take us to your camp I don't mind, but you don't need to if you don't want to...we don't want to be a bother to anyone" he meowed to them. He made a quick look at his sister then back to the two older cats "I do want to meet Brackenstar thought, my father, said he is a great cat" he meowed silently.

[Animals65]

Creamflower hears a voice and looks up to see it was Sedgethroat, smiling at the she-cat. Upon hearing her question, she nods. "Yes we were planning on going." she said. "But then Crowshade and Sagespot saw Willowpaw in the medicine cat's den with injuries from what looked like a fox attack along with Brackenstar leading a patrol out of camp in a hurry that they both agreed to stay in camp until its safe."
