IceClan ❄ v.2 ❄ Open And Accepting!

[Curious]

Larkkit heard fearful meowing nearby and gasped. Sorrelkit! He dashed in the direction of the sound, tumbling over his own paws as he went.

[RedAtMidnight]

Riverstorm's heart skips a beat as he hears Sorrelkit's wail for help. He glares back at his sister. "sense or no sense, There's no time for a plan!" He hisses, returning to the burrow. He uses his scent to locate "his" daughter, and instantly trackers her nearby. "I'm coming, Sorrelkit!" He calls, following her scent further down to where she lies infront of the badger. With a dark his, he leaps forward and attempts to tackle the beat, claws unsheathed. "You leave that kit alone, you fox-heated beast!" He hisses, trying to distract the creature by attacking it. "Sorrelkit, go! Run!" He hisses fearfully. "I don't know how long I can distra--" He calls to her, being suddenly cut off by the badger suddenly rolling over onto him, crushing him. "Go!" He chokes out.

{If that was too sue-ish, let me know, I'm sorry ewe }

[eli ayase]

Tallspirit turns to his kits. "Promise me you'll stay here?" He turned and darted out to where all the commotion was. He saw his mate being crushed under the badger and screamed, darting over to him. He clawed the badger's eyes in fury, kicking it as hard as he could, and bit down on it's shoulder. He seemed to do some damage, but not enough.

[Curious]

Larkkit heard two screams. "Daddies!" he called frantically, scrambling in the direction of the sound. Finally, he caught sight of his fathers, who were fighting a huge black and white creature. Fur and blood flew as Larkkit watched. "Daddies!" Both looked to be in serious trouble. Larkkit hid, trembling, behind a thick bush. He watched the seen helplessly through wide blue eyes.

[RedAtMidnight]

Riverstorm looked up at his mate, his vision blurred with pain, and blinked confusedly. "Tallspirit...?" He murmured. Mouse-dung... Now I've not only put Tallspirit in danger by ignoring Icewing, but The kits will probably follow us... They'll be in danger too... He thinks to himself, Struggling beneath the creature to be free and attack, though unable to move beneath the beast. He suddenly thinks of something, and turns his attention to Tallspirit once more. "Tallspirit!" He calls. "Go, Run! Make sure all of the kits are safe and head back to camp! I have a plan!" He continues. "Trust me!"

Icewing opens her mouth to object, but she knew Riverstorm was wise, though sometimes he did make foolish choices. If they listened to him, they could possibly get everyone back to camp safely. "We'd better listen to him, Tallspirit." She calls to them tom. She perks her ears and lifted up her nose. She could scent something nearby; Too big to be prey, too small to be a predator. It was a kit (Larkkit). She quickly followed the scent over to the thick bush where the kit hid, and noses her way through the leaves. "Its okay, kit. I'm here to take you back to camp. I'm your daddy's sister." She mews to him. "We have to get you and your sibling's back to camp so your daddy can make the badger go away. Do you know where they are?" She mewed, picking him up carefully, hoping that the kit wasn't already to frightened to help.

Blackhawk watched as Tallspirit jetted from the den aswell. "What in the name of StarClan is going on?" He mewed, half to himself, half to Dawnstripe. He sighs, turning to his mate. "You stay here, okay? If something bad is happening, then I don't want you or the kits to be in danger. I'm going to find out what's happening." He mews to her, giving her a caring lick on the nose before he leaves. Following Tallspirit, suddenly stops. He scented a familiar scent soon after he left camp. He looked around; it was... Milkkit? He looks around for her cream pelt, and spotted it at nearby shrub. She looked horrified. "What are you doing out here? What's going on?" He mewed worriedly.

Milkkit looked up at Blackhawk. Though the tom was tall and broad, he didn't intimidate her for some reason; as if she could trust him. "I-I saw daddy run out of camp, and then Larkkit followed him... and I wanted to come too, because I thought it was a game, but then Larkkit and daddy ran off... And I saw them being attacked by a big black and white monster..." She whimpered. "I wanted to come back to camp to call for help, but then my other daddy ran out to follow Larkkit... and now they're over there, and I'm scared, and I don't know what to do... Will you help us, mister?" She mews, her voice trembling with fear.

Blackhawk's eyes widened in concern for his brother and the kit, and quickly nodded to Milkkit. "Go back to camp and go strait to the nursery, tell the nice she-cat in there to stay there with the kits so they can be safe. Then, go to the medicine den and tell the grey she-cat that we need some help. Okay?" He mews.

Milkkit nods frantically, jetting back to camp as fast as her tiny paws could carry her. First, she stumbled into the nursery, out of breath. She looked up to Dawnstripe, her eyes wide with fear. "Do you know a big black tom with amber eyes?" She mews, hoping that this was the right She-cat.

[RedAtMidnight]

{Bump.. Come on guys uwu.. Dont let it die... ene}

[tytrack]

[i'm here]
Dawnshadow watched her mate go out of the den in a hurry, worry in her eyes. Suddenly hearing a young kit, she looked down. "Yes I am." She meowed, tucking the kit inside of her tail which now curled around the Milk-colored kit.

Sorrelkit tried to move, but she couldn't. She felt pain ripple in her spine, as she tried to crawl away. Letting out a shriek of pain, she sunk her claws into the ground, though it wasn't any use. She watched as the badger retreated, and she wailed in pain again.

Swankit perked her tiny ears, the shy kit looking blindly at Milkkit. "Momma, Who's that?"

Ottersplash leaned up against CedarTruth, Looking over at her. "Now that we're warriors, Will.. you be my mate?" He asked awkwardly and nervously.

Leafdapple sat on the opposite side of the two 'lovebirds', laying down. She'd never be happy. As long as Heavypaw was a medicine cat apprentice, they'd never be mates, let alone would he be allowed to love her.

Icefeather Perked his ears as he heard a kit yowl.

Silentstep perked her large ears as she listened. "Heatherblossom, C'mon!" She meowed, looking back at the medicine cat as she ran towards the sound.

[RedAtMidnight]

{ Heatherblossom is back at camp...? It was Heavypaw that went with the group, remember? Also, sorry for late reply, I've been pretty busy lately uwu }

Milkkit looks down for just a second, stopping to catch her breath. "He told me... To Tell you.. To stay and here and watch us kits, because he had to go help the other warriors...." She pants.

Tigerkit looks up in surprise, a bit of worry flashing through his eyes. "Dad's gone? Where did he go? Why do the other warriors need help, mama?" He mews.

Riverstorm hissed quietly in pain at the badger rolled off of him to retreat, but he knew that it wouldn't be gone forever. If his plan went out as he thought, he could keep the badger away from camp for good... His ears perked up, and he looked around for his sister, his vision blurred. "Icewing!" He calls out blindly. "Come..." He begins, starting to feel a bit dizzy, but just shakes his head. "Come get Sorrelkit! I have an idea!" He calls to her, blinking hard, hoping this sudden, odd dizziness would go away.

Icewing perked her ears, following the sound of her brother's call. Quickly following the scent of Sorrelkit, though hard for her, since she was already carrying Larkkit, and was still trying to get used to these new scents, she found the tiny she-kit, and picked her up carefully. She turned to the direction of her brother. Though she says nothing, she gives a faint, yet worried smile to him. She turns around and jets off, back to the direction of camp, where the kits will would be safe. Stopping at the medicine den first for Sorrelkit, she gently sets down the she-kit in a nest, setting Larkkit down about 2 or 3 tail-lengths from her. "Heatherblossom!" She calls to her Sister, hoping she was still in the den.

Heatherblossom perks her ears, hearing her sister's urgent voice from the back of the den. "Icewing? What are y--" She begins as she pads out, then suddenly seeing Sorrelkit. "Great StarClan!" She gasps, rushing over the kit's side. "What happened to her?"

Icewing flattens her ears in worry. "I don't know the whole story, but it doesn't matter right now. Can you help her?" She mews.

Heatherblossom looks at the tiny kit with worry. She didn't know if she could, but she was the Medicine cat. She had to try. "I'll do what I can. Take him to the nursery. I'll call you if I need help." She mews, flicking her tail to Larkkit.

Icewing nods, carefully picking up Larkkit once more. She carries him off to the nursery, setting him down in a nest near his siblings. "You stay here with your siblings and the other kits, okay?" She mews to him. "Dawnstripe will watch you. Your daddy will be back soon." She promises, having recognized Dawnstripe's scent when she walked into the den. "You can handle one more, right?" She mews hopefully.

Blackhawk runs as fast as his paws could carry him, following the badger's scent. His brother was in trouble, he couldn't just stand by like a mouse in the undergrowth. At last finding the badger and his brother, he pads up to him helping him up. "Please tell me you have a plan." He mews, looking at Riverstorm with worry.

Riverstorm looks up at Blackhawk, giving him a smile. "Of course I do." He mews, but the smile quickly turns to a frown. "But I don't want to risk you getting hurt. Please, Blackhawk, just go back to camp. You have a family to care for." He pleads to his dear brother. If this plan failed, one of, or even both toms could end up badly hurt.

Blackhawk gives him a smile. "I don't believe you have a choice. I'd rather go down with my brother than leave him behind, running away like a kit for safety." He mews, turning his attention to the badger. It had begun to stop, and was just calmly sitting about 10 fox-lengths away. "Besides, it's not like you don't have a family. You have Tallspirt and your kits." He mews, looking back to his brother. "What's the plan?"

Riverstorm looks at the scar on Blackhawk's neck. He'd been hurt badly a long while back (Wolfsnarl), and was feared to die. Yet, he was still here. Still wanting to fight for his clan. He sighed. "There's a gorge a little ways from here, just at the end of the forest, near a stream. If we can lead the badger into the gorge, it'd be gone for good." He mews. "I'll stay ahead of it, leading it to the gorge. You stay behind it, making sure it doesn't stay away. Together, we can trap it." He ends. Now saying it allowed, he realized how incredible dangerous this was, but it was a chance they head to take for the greater good of the entire clan.

Blackhawk nods. Slinking down low, quietly in the grass behind the badger, he waits for his brother to begin the chase.

Riverstorm does the same, except slinking around to the front of the badger, his blue-gray pelt mixing in with the noon shadows. When about 5 fox-lengths away, he jumps up and hisses at the badger. "Hey, Flea-brain! Right here!" He taunts, instantly jetting off to the direction of the gorge afterwards.

[tytrack]

[i forgot- I made Appledawn leave with Wolfsnarl.. Now I think she should come back >: D}
Appledawn narrowed her eyes as she saw the badger and two cats, tail lashing. The ginger she-cat lashed her white-tipped tail as she stared with dark blue eyes. In the bracken she hid in, she was barely visible. Whiskers twitching, she felt as if she recognized the toms, but part of her felt as if she needed to defend herself. That's when Three tiny kits waddled over below her, letting out curious mewls. Giving them a glare to keep them silent, she stood over them. One, Which she named Sky, Was a Black tom with One gray spot around one eye, and white paws and tail tip, with bright blue eyes. Another, Named Storm, was a gray tabby she-cat with amber eyes and one white paw, which looked like a female version of Wolfsnarl. And, the last, was a pure white tom with silver ears and a silver striped tail, with aqua eyes named Hail. As she thought of Wolfsnarl, the she-cat became angry, and claws tapped against the ground. Why'd I even trust that idiot? I should've never become his mate! Perking her ears, she realized Storm had wandered over to the badger, which was nearly about to strike Storm. Letting out a battle cry, she reared and leaped into the sunlight at the badger. "Run, Storm!" She ordered, as she lashed her claws at the badger, ginger pelt sticking up in fury. "Leave my kits alone, Foxheart!" She cried in anger, rearing again to clamp her jaws on the badger's ears, before she was flung. Picking up Her kit, she hid under the roots of a tree, as the badger used it's large paws to try to reach at her. Nipping one of it's paws, which made it angrier, she stood over her kits, hissing at the badger.

[I'll make storm, cloud, and hail's forms in a minute.]

Fearful for her mate, she tucked the kits into the moss beside her and groomed them. "It's alright. Your father is brave, and I trust him." She sighed, tucking her paws in beneath her. "Get some rest, young ones."

Sorrelkit never stopped with her wailing. She couldn't move the lower part of herself, as she looked pleadingly up at Heatherblossom. "Where's daddies? Daddies!" She cried.

Frostfeather Stood beside Icewing, worry in his dark blue eyes. "What was that?" He meowed, hearign the loud wail of kits, and the sound of a troubled she-cat/queen.

SootStreak looked around the camp in confusion, dark blue eyes narrowed against the sun.

[RedAtMidnight]

Blackhawk gasps as the Badger turns around, turning its attention to the she-cat. With a frustrated growl, he lashes at it, trying to grab its attention once more, but fails. He turns at the she-cat, hissing. "Mouse-brain!" He growls. He hadn't recognized her, or even felt like he should've. It'd been so long, he'd completely forgotten about his sister. He turns back to the badger, skidding to the right as its massive paw crashes to the ground. He runs back a few tail-lengths, then charges at the badger, pouncing at it with long, hooked claws. Finally, the badger returned its attention to the toms. Letting go of the badger, he leaps down to the forest floor and follows his brother, not looking back. "Riverstorm! Whatever you do, don't turn around!" He calls to his brother, streaking along behind him as fast as he could, both toms now attempting to lead the badger to the gorge.

Riverstorm looks over his shoulder at his brother. "Blackhawk?! I told you to stay behind the Badger!" He hisses. He sighs, shaking his head. "Never mind. It doesn't matter now. Just, when I say stop, Stop running!" He calls to his brother, beginning to stay to the side.

Blackhawk nodded. He didn't know what Riverstorm was doing now, but as long as it would save His kits... His mate... His father... Everyone. He didn't care. He wanted the clan to be safe. He looked up ahead, and gasped hopefully. "I see a light! We're almost to the end of the forest!" He calls.

Riverstorm nods. "Then we're almost to the gorge! Get ready!"

Heatherblossom nuzzles the kit gently, a forced yet gentle purr rumbling in her throat. "Shh.. Sorrelkit, its okay... Calm down.. You're daddies are okay. They're very smart and strong warriors. They can fight off the badger and make sure we stay safe." She coos to the tiny she-kit, trying to comfort her. "Lay still. I'll get you something to stop the pain." She mews, touching her nose to Sorrelkit's head. She backs away slowly, trying to make sure the kit remains calm. "Stay right there. Don't move, and calm down. It'll take some stress off you and won't make the pain as bad." She assured her, heading back to the herb storage to get something for the kit that wouldn't hurt her.

{ Icewing is in the Nursery with Dawnstripe }

Milkkit lays down beside Tigerkit, trembling, but tries to take her mind off it. She looks over to the small tom, blinking her tiny yellow eyes. "Hi..." She mewls. "I'm Milkkit. What's your name?"

Tigerkit trembled with fear for his father. He closed his eyes and laid his head on his paws, but perked his ears and looked back up when he heard Milkkit's soft mewl. "I'm.. I'm Tigerkit. My daddy is Blackhawk... I think. This is my mommy." He mewls, snuggling closer to his mother. "Who's your mommy and daddy?"

Milkkit blinked confusedly. "My daddies," She begins. "Are River... Riverstorm and... An' Tallspirit. What's a mommy?" She asks curiously, tilting her head.

They could've had it all...
