Ignoring his own upset at his prior actions Shadowpelt got up and headed to the elder den. Shadowpelt saw Deepwater and headed towards him.

"Hello Deepwater. How are you today? Did you sleep well?" Shadowpelt asked wondering if the older cat wanted to chat or if they had something they wanted to do.

"I'm sorry Leopardbreeze I hadn't meant to wake you. Did I wake them?" Lionfur whispered hoping to not stir the kits if they hadn't already.

Lionfur gave a weak smile at the joke; they didn't quite trust this queen, but doubted she would do anything that may pose threat to her kits.

Lionfur glanced at Rosedance "I doubt Minkstar would mind if you spent a bit of time with your kits." Lionfur said coolly.

"I know it's not my place, but they need their parent and you need them too." Lionfur mewed.

They didn't want to step on the tom's paws, but they couldn't stand to see kits get almost abandoned by their only parent.

"Morning little one. How are you today?" Lionfur asked in a purring tone. They always had a break in their usually toughness for kits. Kits didn't need them to be rude or cold they were just tiny things after all and deserved niceness above all else.

Female - 7 moons - Apprentice
Tags: None - Mentions: Crocusweb - Location: Apprentice's Den

The sound of cats moving about had stirred Fallenpaw awake. As much as she wanted to keep lying there and fall back asleep, she forced herself to get up. She didn't want her mentor, Crocusweb, to think she was lazy; or worse, that she didn't care about training. At the thought, she instantly remembered the few training sessions they'd had so far. She hadn't been an apprentice for very long yet -not even a full moon- but her mentor already seemed to like her, and Fallenpaw was determined to make him proud of her. She would make the whole clan proud of her. She would prove that she wasn't just the small, sickly kittypet they had found lying beside the thunderpath moons ago. She was going prove she was more than that. She was going to be the best she could be.

As she stepped out of her den, she already began to feel her determination bring energy and excitement to her paws, though with it also came a few shreds of nervousness. Glancing at the sky, she hoped she hadn't slept in for too long. She looked around camp and realized her mentor was not there. Was he still asleep? Fallenpaw padded over to the fresh-kill pile and sat beside it, pushing back the temptation to grab a bird, noting how it was odd she felt hungry, as she usually wasn't in the mornings. She decided she would wait there for her mentor to come out of his den.

sunstream woke that morning with her stomach turned into a knot and a sour taste on her tongue at the thought of perhaps being elected to go see the marshclan cats that evening. she wasn't hopeful - after all, she was barely a warrior and hawkclan had better, stronger, smarter cats to deal with the enemy. the enemy. even though sunstream had been raised with intense stories about marshclan, reality had only dawned on her five moons ago when the battle took away three fellow apprentices. sunstream (at that moment still sunpaw) knew it had been a close call. it could have been any of her clanmates. it could have been her. and that thought still gave her nightmares.

at the same time, it was odd thinking of some marshclan cats as the enemy when, as apprentices, they had been close friends. it would be hard to learn to hate him, thought sunstream. but perhaps it was for the best.

the pit in her stomach remained as the molly stretched and padded outside the warrior's den. even if she wasn't elected to go, she knew it would be impossible to relax until the elected committee came back to camp, safe and sound. she needed something to get her mind off that night, and urgently. her eyes scanned the clearing and fell on a small group of cats. hello, sealsmog, ashfall, mushroomshard. the she-cat meowed as she approached the party. could i join the hunting patrol, too? or is there anything else that needs to be done i could help with?

even though pebblepaw was awake, he was still curled up in his nest in the medicine cat den pretending to be asleep. he did not consider himself lazy, necessarily. it was more so that he only really had energy for the things that interested him. and most days he waited until antgleam stirred in his own nest to stretch and begin his day. ever since he was a kit, he would curl up next to his mother and watch wortpaw (then wortkit) prance around the queen's den. his eyelids got too heavy, he had once told his brother, many moons ago. it was not his fault he couldn't keep his eyes open.

that morning, what made him move was a voice. he opened one eye and watched his mentor in the den, and another cat who he quickly recognised as fadingwind. he knew fadingwind and antgleam were very good friends and many mornings the warrior would come to the medicine cat den, even though many of the other warriors claimed the smell of herbs was too strong. he knew they used to be friends when antgleam was still a warrior, and thought it was very nice of fadingwind to go check up on his friend constantly. his eyes prickled when he heard fadingwind speak of his 'wayward apprentice'. irispaw! pebblepaw shot to his paws. hi antgleam, hi fadingwind! don't worry about finding irispaw, i'll go look for her! and that said, the medicine cat apprentice darted out of the den before waiting for an answer (more so from antgleam, in case his mentor sent him to look for herbs. pebblepaw liked looking for herbs, but he was still an apprentice and playing with his friend was definitely more fun).

pebblepaw stopped in the camp clearing, seeing knots of cats scattered around. there was no sight of irispaw. not wanting to bother her if she was still asleep, he sat outside the apprentices' den and cleaned his fluffy gray fur.

Clouddust woke up and stretched before getting up and making their way outside. He noticed a small, if ever growing, group of cats in the clearing and made their way there. Clouddust sat themselves just outside of the group. Being a rather new warrior they weren't sure where they fit in and didn't want to rock the metaphorical boat. So out of the way was best.

scryheart huffed softly in annoyance as the sound of minkstar's voice trickled into the marshclan warrior's den. could she not have waited five more minutes, the tabby thought, her tail twitching slightly in annoyance as she blinked away sleep and hauled herself out of her nest. yes, she could have ignored the call of her leader, but if scryheart wanted to have any chance at attending tonight's gathering, she needed to at least pretend she cared about being a good warrior.
putting on a friendly face, the she-cat slipped out of the warrior's den and scanned the camp for minkstar. she spotted the brown-and-white leader immediately and began to make her way over to her. she noticed reedwhistle and aspenwind sitting by each other in the early morning sunlight and nodded her head in a friendly greeting as she crossed the camp. "minkstar!" scryheart called out as she came within earshot, feigning her enthusiasm. "i would love to join a border patrol today", she lied as she came to a stop in front of the marshclan leader.

Wolfstar had been sitting in her nest for quite some in her nest in deep thought until she snapped back into reality. Her clan must've been awake by now and Sealsmog sending morning patrols, the Hawkclan leader kept her thoughts on who she would be brining to the gathering later tonight. Obviously her deputy and the medicine cats but who else? Perhaps Ashfall? Sunstream?Brackenclaw? Her own brother? Many decisions and she worried that if she brought too many warriors with her, the clan would be left defenseless. Hunger began to twist Wolfstar's stomach and she should see what exactly is happening within her clan. Perhaps she'd take a border patrol herself? It would do her good to stretch her legs and see what's going on around her borders as it was.
The grey tabby rose from her nest turning around to face the entrance of her den, her amber gaze fixed pass the hanging moss to see her clan mingling about. Wolfstar cleaned her fluffy grey pelt before exiting her den. Amber eyes scanned the clearing as she made her way towards the fresh-kill pile, she also made a note that Sealsmog was speaking with Ashfall and Bushsparrow. Deciding to pick up a small mouse, the Hawkclan leader made her way back towards the outside of her den since she would have to call a meeting sooner or later. Taking a bite out of the mouse, Wolfstar had finally made her decision on who she would be taking with her to the gathering of the two clans. The molly just hoped everything would go well due to the deaths five moons ago.

"Goodmorning Mushroomshard." the ashen tom replied with a purr, "I'm not real sure how I feel about the clans gathering tonight, especially since the deaths between each clan." he added with a concerned look on his profile. Although deep down he was hoping he'd get picked so he could see his dear sister again but he was also scared of how she's handling the deaths in her own clan, let alone his kits. Ashfall was lost in thought thinking about his kits, how old were they now? Fifteen moons? Great Starclan Ashfall felt like he was getting old just thinking about them. It was then that Sealsmog spoke to the duo, Ashfall turned his light green gaze towards the pretty seal point molly. "Of course Sealsmog, we'll grab Fadingwind and his apprentice as well." Ashfall mewed as he slightly tilted his head to the side with a slight smile stretching across his maw. Flicking his tail for Mushroomshard to follow, there was only one place he knew where Fadingwind would be and that is in the Medicine cat's den.

Swiftclaw shot his eyes open to see sunlight peering through the warrior's den. His legs felt numb almost as if they were cramping and with that the tall tom shot out of his nest. He kind of messed up his nest from the sudden jolt and realized that he can take his time since he hadn't seen any patrols leave.. even though he had just woken up. With a quick clean of his leopard spotted fur and a few tufts sticking out here and there, Swiftclaw nonchalantly made his way out of the warrior's den. He noticed Sealsmog speaking to Ashfall and Mushroomshard as he walked by but his main goal was to find his apprentice; Lynxpaw. The tall tom wondered if Lynxpaw was mad at the fact he had overslept this time but he pushed those thoughts away as he scanned the camp clearing for his apprentice. It was then he spotted Lynxpaw and with that bounded over to him, it almost looked as if he was skipping as nothing had happened. "Good morning Lynxpaw! Are you ready for today?" Swiftclaw asked enthusiastically as he approached the spotted apprentice with a slight purr rumbling in his throat.

Whiteflame had laid in his nest for quite some time somewhat waiting for other cats to leave the den before him. As he sat there with his eyes closed, he thought about Leopardbreeze and her kits, "I should probably visit them today before I end up on a patrol" the muscular white tom thought to himself as he slowly but surely began to leave his nest. As he made it pass the warriors still sleeping and outside the den, he inhaled the fresh air for a moment to enjoy the early morning air. Whiteflame shook his pelt and with the flick of his flame colored tail, began making his way towards the nursery.

Silverfur had been sitting in her nest for quite some time trying to clean her fluffy grey pelt. It just irritated her how much fur she inherited from her mother slightly wishing she had her own brothers pelt from time to time. She was nested close to her niece and nephew just to keep a close eye on them, just as she always promised Ashfall. It was Mirestalk that concerned her the most due to Tigerheart picking on her all the time, it was almost a miracle that the mean tiger looking tom didn't know about her and Ashfall being half-clan. Finally getting her thick pelt to lay flat for the most part, the silvery female made her way out of the den to see who would be assigned on patrols.

Tigerheart had been out before the sun began to rise huntjng for his clan. His legs were soaked to the bine but his short fur would dry before too long for he had shorter fur than most of the cats in the clan for some weird reason. The stripped tabby tom was on his way back to the camp with a watervole tucked under his chin and a small fish in his maw. The young tom was getting irritated from stepping in deep pools of water and dropping his fresh kill every time. As he drew closer to the camp he felt a sharp pain hit his back left paw pad. A yowl escaped his maw as he once more dropped his fresh kill in the soggy grass. "Great Starclan!" he thought to himself as he went to pick up his kills once more, "Now I have to see Blackfrost to see what I did to my back paw!" Tigerheart cursed to himself. Soo. He reached the Marshclan entrance at sunrise to drop off his fresh kill "Seems like I'm the only one doing anything around here once again.." the stripped tabby complained to himself as he headed off towards the Medicine cat's den.

The little tabby she-cat was still pressed against her mother sleeping soundly and even slept through Lionfur's sudden yowl. The only thing she did was cuddle Gatorkit when he turned over to nuzzle her. Kestrelkit soon began to wake up but kept her eyes shut listening to the voices within the nursey but it wasn't until she felt her brother sit up and started to speak with Leopardbreeze and the other queens. With that the kit opened her eyes and began to sit up letting out a big yawn before her yellow eyes scanned the nursery, "Morning Leopardbreeze.. morning Lionfur.." Kestrelkit mewed with a grogy tone as she settled back down on her paws.

The dark colored she-cat was resting in her nest at the very back of the Warrior's den. Nightwhisper had always kept to herself as she was a kit.. still to this day. Tonight would be the great gathering of both clans. She hoped to Starclan she wasn't chosen as one of the warrior's to attend the gathering. She preferred staying at the camp to defend or better yet.. provide food for her clan. Her green gaze fixed at the warrior den entrance as she watched her fellownclan mates leave the den, soon she would join them hoping either Rosedance or Minkstar would assign her to a patrol.

He looked at Lionfur little surprised that she spoke to him, they were not that close and he did visit the nursery almost every day or what he could between the patrols and other duties. He nodded "yes I know that, I just didn't want to wake them up now when they were still sleeping." he meowed silently. His eyes looked over to the MInkstar who gave him a look, not asking him to organize any patrols or anything, it was like no spoken order that she was going to make the patrols this morning.

He looked over to the fresh kill pile there, seeing that there was not much but enough for those who needs them for now. Minkstar was likely doing the hunting patrols too, so there could not be hungry mouths waiting. He looked at Lionfur "want anything? I can pick you something as I go to pick up my kits..." he meowed to her. He noticed that Creamflower was eating at the pile already and Whiteflame was on his way to the nursery as well so maybe the flame point tom was planning to serve the queen Leopardbreeze. He noticed that the two were rather close to each other.

She eyed the flame point tom longer than she wanted to, sometimes she just can't stop staring at the handsome tom. Her eyes perked at the voice of Minkstar, who approved corner to her eyes, not really hearing what she asked, but she did hear the latest words she said about takers. She needed to think for a moment about what she asked, but as the young Scryheart walked to speak to the leader kind of responded to her question.
The black she-cat stood up and made her way to the dark brown patched leader and the young warrior "if there are still open spots I would love to join either of those patrols" she meowed giving a small greeting to Minkstar and smiling at the pretty young she-cat Scryheart.

The dark-furred older tom sat down near the elder's den, he was the only elder of this clan so far, which didn't really bother him at all. He groomed his long fur a little bit here and there to make it seem even a little bit clean. He shook his head and took one deep yawn before turning to look at the young warrior approving him. He was rather surprised that someone so young as Shadowpelt could visit the elder's den, usually, it was his family, kits, or sometimes apprentices.
He smiles at him "hm interesting for you to visit me? It's not like I could not like it, but usually young warriors have so many other things to do than visiting elders..." he meowed with a few licks to his chest fur. He shook his head once more "yeah I am doing fine, I slept well I guess, I could need to change my beddings soon, but nothing to whine about" he responded simply "what about you Shadowpelt?" he asked.

She opened one eye, after feeling the movements of her kits, it was weird at the last time she had kits there were three to take care of and a father to look after them too. She took a deep sight, feeling a little disappointed and stupid for herself that the tom she was was so in love with, maybe she still was, but in the end, the tom was a traitor from Marshclan. In the end, her kit never got to know or meet her father, even her older kits kept silent about it. She felt bad about what kind of chaos the little Fallowkit will face in the future, even though she didn't truly get or know what was happening, her father being a Marshclan tom and what truly happened to one of her older kits Pantherscar. After the leave of her mate her son Pantherscar vanished as well, did he join his father? or did something else happen, which could answer the question of why he is not back yet?

She closed her eyes for a moment before hearing his son's voice talking to Fallowkit. She opened her eyes and looked up to her well grew son Bushsparrow "morning dear" she meowed with a smile.

He listened to the Ashfall with a nod "yeah...I know, I think this gathering is coming way too soon after what happened...I personally think this could be skipped this time, but that's something that has to happen..." he meowed sighing "I just hope everything goes well there, no arguments or fights..." he meowed completely shutting down when the clan deputy showed up to speak to Ashfall.
He made a nod to the deputy, not really saying anything as it seemed like it was mostly to Ashfall, he was just a cat nearby "Fadingwind huh? yeah How do we get him away from the lovely medicine cat he is so close with" he meowed with a joke. He looked at Ashfall then toward the second cat approving them "Hello Sunstream, I don't mind you joining this if anyone else has not a problem with that?" he meowed flicking his tail.

Bushsparrow

He took a quick morning time to himself and managed to catch two mice, not wasting too much time there as he knew that the clan will be waking soon and he needed to be aware there if he was needed for any patrols. He was given an apprentice to train too and he didn't want to disappoint the young one, by being always late of anything.
He took the mice and run back to the camp, dropping the other one to the pile as he took another one to the nursery to his mother and younger sibling. He didn't need to even call if they were awakened or not as Fallowkit seemed to be already up "hello there Fallowkit, mother...I brought you mice..." he meowed giving the kit a smile "don't devour it, it still bigger than you" he murmured with a laugh.

Sugarpaw

The young she-cat who was still new to the clan woke up with a gasp. She was tired, but realized immediately that she was one of the lastest apprentices at the apprentice's den 'no no no, this is not good...' she thought to herself as she jumped out of her nest and run out of the den toward the cleaning not even barely looking where she was going as she focused to see if her mentor Brackenclaw was still at the camp or not. ¨
As he noticed the brown warrior there she was planning to run to him, but instead, she run to someone else. Her face and chest hit into something soft and she fall to her right side, not knowing what hit her before she looked at the pale gray and white calico tom front of her "...ooh sorry Clouddust, I didn't look where I was running at...I hope you didn't get hurt..." she meowed awkwardly.

Having woken up with the sunrise, Adderpaw padded through the camp, searching for his mentor. He never had any trouble waking up. The young apprentice eluded the aches and pains of growing old and would for several moons yet. 'Where is he?' Adderpaw thought, furrowing his brow as he checked around.

It took him a while to remember that the elders' den existed. Youth and inexperience prevented Adderpaw from recognizing the value of engaging with the clan's elders. He lived in the now, worrying about what was happening today and in the future. Dwelling in the past wastes time.

Adderpaw headed over to the elders' den and was greeted with the sight of his mentor. "Oh, hi, Shadowpelt. What are you doing over here?" he asked, then noticed Deepwater and politely added, "And good morning, Deepwater." Despite the fact that he didn't usually speak with the elder, he remained polite towards those he knew had a higher authority than himself - when he remembered.
