It was the middle of the night, freezing cold, snow under his paws and the moon glaring coldly down at the field in front of him. He had been hiding in a thorny thicket for hours, staying under the cover offered by shadows of the trees above, keeping to the darkest parts of the underbrush. Every time he stepped out into the moonlight to get a better look at his prey it seemed to disappear, flickering out of sight, but as long as he kept to the dark he could see it. Blue and purple lights that dashed across the surface of the snow, like bits of the moonlight had gotten up and tried to run off into the woods. But they weren’t just bits of snow or blades of grass catching and reflecting the moon’s glow back into his eyes, and their motion across the forest was no illusion of distance or movement. He could see them moving up and down, flickering, zigzagging through the air like dragonflies or moths but lit from within with eerie colors, leaving trails of faint, glittering powder in their wake. He had first learned of these things when he discovered these trails in the early dusk one morning, scattered across the plants in the grassy valley between the dark woods and the lighter ones belonging to another clan. He could hardly contain his excitement when he first discovered what had left the strange sparkling substance across the grounds between their lands - and it increased tenfold or more when he realized he could use it to create more powerful remedies than he had previously learned, making tending wounds much easier. However, gathering the dust in any large quantity was an incredibly tedious task, one that typically took multiple days, and he worried that someday he wouldn’t be able to afford to spend that time. Instead, he decided, he would capture one of the sources of this mystical power and bring it home to keep at the camp, where it would hopefully be able to dispense the healing powder at any time. With this kind of power in his paws, he could cure anything - but only if he could catch the darn things.
This night he didn’t feel very lucky. The creatures had not appeared until later in the night than usual, and they got closer to the enemy territory on the far side of the valley as he tried to track them down. He often came home with worse news than he left, as he had gotten injured a few times on the border of the other territory, but he was determined to keep trying… and determined to do his best to avoid getting in any battles this time. The others thought he was crazy for risking life and limb - and gathering a few scars - in his quest, but if he could just capture one of those sprites, each and every one of these freezing nights out in the thicket would be worth it.

"I didn't mean to do it!" Charlie growled at the rogue who saved her. "I didn't know what that thing was, so naturally I climbed the tree and put my paw in it!" Her anger was fueled by the laughter from the other cat.

"It's a beehive. It's where bees live." She rolled her eyes. Of course she knew that! She just hadn't seen one. "Your body is absolutely swollen. Come back to my court and let our healer help you." Court? She'd heard rumours and stories of a group of cats called a clan, but never a court. The other started walking away, and she couldn't help but follow. Her owners weren't the best people, and maybe they really could help her.

Every step caused her severe pain. "So, you're a housecat?" the other said in a quiet voice. "I knew they were stupid, but I never expected them to put themselves into a beehive." Her brows furrowed, anger lightly masking the pain in her body.

"Like I said, I didn't mean to! I just wanted to see what was inside." Her fur bristled as he laughed again.

"Honey. Bees make honey, honey is in a beehive. Common knowledge."

"Not to me." The pair walked in silence the rest of the way. Despite the pain, Charlie looked forward to the possibility of getting some help. As they approached the camp, they were met by a she-cat with a spring in her step.

Her companion bowed his head slightly, "Light, the patrol went well." Her ears flicked at the other cat's name. He nudged Charlie and added in a whisper, "That's our leader, please behave."

The leader smiled at the new cat. "Who is this?" Before Charlie could speak, her saviour interjected.

"Honey. Call her Honey. She had an incident with a beehive."

She smirked. "That's amusing, considering the circumstances. Nice to meet you, Honey. Thunder will take you to our healer, so you can get patched up." Thunder. He never told her his name.

"Honey? That's not my name!" she grumbled as she followed Thunder to the healer's den. He abruptly stopped just outside, causing her to bump into him. "What gives?"

"Your name is Honey as a reminder of where you're from." Her jaw opened slightly to reply, but she stopped herself before anything could come out. "I don't expect you to stay here, but we can teach you about the forest. Help you find yourself, without relying on your twolegs. You could be happy here, Honey."

A brief thought entered her brain, but she quickly shook it out. No way could she stay here! Her owners would miss her too much. "I can't. Besides, 'Honey' really sounds like you're just mocking me."

A chuckle. "The invitation is there if you want it. Maybe spend the night with us? Just to see what it's like." She admitted to herself that it was a tempting offer. Maybe she could find a life here.

Besides, 'Honey' had a nice ring to it.

Cat Name: Foxwatcher
Gender: Demigirl

Clan: Glacialclan
Age: 36 moons
Prompt:
For a long while, Foxwatcher had no clue where her name came from. She never got a clear answer from her mother, all she got was a noncommittal purr and a rough wash before her mother went out to hunt. It.. almost hurt, not knowing why she was named after the one thing that her mother hated the most. A fox. The thing that has taken not only her father, but her siblings too. Left her mother, Fernbelly, with just her.
She didn't learn just what had happened that day until she was about to become a warrior. Her mother approached her then, told her how proud she was of Foxpaw, how amazing they had done in their training.
But Fernbelly also wanted to tell her only remaining kit just why she was named after the thing that had taken everything from her, and warn her that her warrior name had already been chosen. By the stars, by their leader.
Foxwatcher. Named after the tragedy that struck their clans many, many moons ago at that point.

Foxes had infiltrated the camp one leafbare, when the rest of the clan was out fighting another group off. Everybody, everything was hungry, every animal was clinging to life.
And because of that, the foxes took everything they could. Took the prey the clan had to take from the thunder path, took the minimal amount of proper prey they had found. And finally, took the barely-weaned kits from their nest. Foxwatcher's father was supposed to be watching them that day. Fernbelly had been sent to fight, more demanded to than anything, she was one of their best fighters. She had to be out there.
Foxwatcher's father though.. he had been out of the camp for just a moment, helping the medicine cat get cobwebs. When he came back, he found the foxes in the middle of taking his kits. He fought with everything he could, poured all the anger of a father into his movements. But it wasn't enough. He died that day, protecting his family. Foxwatcher and her sister got taken, presumably to be eaten later, maybe for the foxes' own kits.
That would've been ironic, foxkit being fed to a couple of fox kits.
But it apparently wasn't meant to be, for when the battle was done and the scene was discovered, the two kits were tracked down as fast as they could be.
The clan was able to lure the foxes, get the kits. They were lucky that the foxes were still weak with starvation, otherwise, there's no telling the damage they could have caused.
They only found foxkit though, no other kits to be seen. She was sitting there, staring at the foxes, staring at the young ones. Untouched, unbothered. No one understood it. The fox kits were hungry, it was obvious, but somehow they couldn't touch the kit.
That's why she got her name, somehow she sat and she watched, even in the face of her own death. And she lived.
