Warriors of the Forest

"Wow!" Acornpaw said.
"Was...uh," Twistedpaw stuffled her black paws. "Blackhawk a black tom?" she mewed.
"Oh course hewas, silly!" her brother, Falconpaw (a golden-and-white tabby tom-paw with green eyes) pounced of her. "Why would he be called Blackhawk if he didn't have black fur!"
Twistedpaw didn't responed. She looked at Pitch. "Did...did he have blue eyes?"

"That's not a proper ending!" an apprentice, Sparrowpaw protested. "How did Blackhawk really die?"
Pitch turned to Twistedpaw first. "Yes, he was a black tom, but his eyes were a very dark brown, nearly black, or so I've heard. Why do you ask?" and then turned to Sparrowpaw. "Some say that his daughter, whom was summoned to him, learned of his plans to take over the forest, and killed him before he could lift a claw against her kin."

Froststar glanced at the storytellers. Maybe it wasn't obvious to them that they were seemingly rude to her while she was sharing.

@Whispers

Brokenstar turned to Froststar. "Something wrong?" he followed her gaze. "Oh, it's fine.Wait a couple of moments."

Twistedpaw looked down. "Well, I have black fur, and blue eyes. Maybe cats wll think I'm Blackhawk with a crooked mouth..."

"I just found it a bit odd, right as I was talking, that those cats of yours began to tell a little kits story of their own. I would have though they'd known their manners." She snorted. "But I will ignore it anyways." She huffed. "Has every leader gone? I'd like to take my clan back to where we belong."

redstar-fireclan • 10 March 2013 at 11:56 AM

"We've gone, yes." Brokenstar replied. "Besides, Froststar, those apprentices became apprentices three moons ago. They're still kits."

whispers • 10 March 2013 at 12:06 PM

@redstar-fireclan
"I understand they're still young, but I think they should learn to respect others. Especially at a gathering." She nodded her head at Brokenstar, and hopped off the rock.

With a quick flick of her tail, her clan stood up and followed. But It was only 3 warriors and an elder.

redstar-fireclan • 10 March 2013 at 12:12 PM

"I'll be sure to tell their mentors that!" Brokenstar called.

((We REALLY need to speed things up Wolfpaw[mine] got his warrior name.))

Should we skip ahead a moon or so?


Nightstar rolled her eyes at Froststar. "My brother knows his place. He only started talking after you finished sharing." Nightstar's tail twitched irritably.

redstar-fireclan • 10 March 2013 at 1:23 PM

@Choocalate
Yes, sure.

"Bye, Nighstar." Brokenstar and his Clan left.

______________________________

*FireClan camp, two moons later*

Redmaple picked up her tiny kit. Brokenstar was going to kill her. She was medicine cat apprentice, and she has a KIT!
What also worried her the most was, the father.
He was a StormClan cat named Volcanoice...

The kit mewled.
"We're almost in FireClan, kit..." Redmaple said.
'I should name him...' she thought. 'He looks a wolf.'
"You will be called Wolfkit," Redmaple mewed.
"Mew," Wolfkit cried.

Brokenstar looked at the kit. "Wolfkit, eh? Who's the father?"
'Oh, StarClan, why did he ask that?' Redmaple looked at her paws. "Volcanoice of StormClan..."
Brokenstar sighed. "Redmaple,"
"I know, Brokenstar. Please let me take care of him. None of my sisters are expecting kits! I don't want to give him to some random queen!"
"Fine. But, you are no longer Medicine cat." Brokenstar half-growled.
"Thank you so much, Brokenstar!" Redmaple purred, carrying Wolfkit to the nursery.
'Forgive me, StarClan.'

*Stormpaw, two moons later*
Stormpaw awoke, yawning. He blinked a couple of times. It was Dawn.
(Who's his mentor?)

@redstar-fireclan


Nightstar's ears flattened, and she bared her teeth in a hiss. 'What happened to the meeting after the Gathering?' she thought. But she stalked back to her territory anyway.
~~~
*Two moons later*
Is it winter?

Nightstar woke up at sunup. A thin layer of ice lay on the ground, but that wasn't troubling her. Her belly felt like it was flopped over, but it wasn't that she had any bad prey last night. She closed her eyes as Blackflash padded into her den. He curled up next to her, and licked Nightstar's ears, knowing she was unwell.
~~
Berrypaw woke up next to Stormpaw. Normally Nightstar would have her up training for her second assessment, but she must be busy. Berrypaw heard a voice calling her name. It was Yelloweye, but he was calling Stormpaw as well. So perhaps the rumors were true? Berrypaw flicked her tail at Stormpaw's nose. "Come on, I think Yelloweye is going to train us today."

Yelloweye can be Stormpaw's mentor?

redstar-fireclan • 10 March 2013 at 6:06 PM

"'Kay." Stormpaw repiled. He padded to Yelloweye.

_____________________________________

Redmaple curled herself around Wolfkit, feeling angry glares from the other queens, Ashleap and Lavastripe. They didn't have any kits yet, but were close.

"Looks like the medicine cat had a kit."Lavastripe meowed to her gray sister.
"Yea. I'm surpised Mistymoon didn't have her quit." Ashleap said.
"Brokenstar did," Redmaple told them.
Both of the queens snorted.
"What's the kit's name?" Ashleap mewed,her mood suddenly changing.
"And the father!"Lavastripe (red she-cat with a yellow stripe. Blue eyes. Mate of Sharkleaf.)
Redmaple narrowed her eyes. "The father, I will not tell. The kit is Wolfkit."
(Ashleap is a gray she-cat with darker spots. Blue eyes. Mate of Rowanleaf.)
"I feel so sorry for you, having a kit in Leaf-bare!" Ashleap meowed.
Redmaple shrugged. "I guess..."

*in NightClan territory*
"First, you two are going to hunt, five pieces of prey each. That's half as many as you'll have to catch on a hunting assessment, so it's good practice. Then I'll meet you at camp to see what you've caught, but I'll probably be out here in the forest as well. I might check in on you from time to time, but for the most part you'll be on your own. Good luck, 'paws!" Yelloweye padded into the ferns. Berrypaw jumped to her feet and darted towards former LightningClan territory to hunt.

redstar-fireclan • 10 March 2013 at 8:32 PM

@Choocalate

Stormpaw raced to FireClan border.
'I wonder how Brokenstar is doing.' he thought.
Stormpaw heard pawsteps (A FireClan cat's) and thought it was Yelloweye.
'HUNT!' he nearly yowled.
He saw a rabbit coming into NightClan territory.
'Coming to close, eh, rabbit?' he crouched down.
"HEY!" a black warrior yowled. "THAT'S MINE!"
The warrior crashed into Stormpaw.
"Stormpaw!" the warrior purred.
Stormpaw remembered the black-and-brown fur of his brother.
"Spiderpaw!" Stormpaw hoped Yelloweye isn't seeing this.
"SpiderBITE." his brother corrected.

Berrypaw had already found two voles, but they were small, so she had let them be. Now she was stalking a squirrel that was half as big as she was! She was downwind, and drawing closer to her prey, but the wind suddenly changed, and her scent was carried to the squirrel. "No!" she gasped, and launched herself at the squirrel as it tried to run away. Berrypaw's paw came down on its fluffy tail, and she scrambled over to its head to make the killing bite.

redstar-fireclan • 11 March 2013 at 3:52 PM

@choocalate

Spiderbite sniffed the air. "It's gone." he looked at his brother again. "So, hows...NightClan?"
"Good, I guess." Stormpaw repiled.

((Should Yelloweye see them?))

No, Yelloweye is probably at camp playing with his kits. X)

Berrypaw's nose twitched at a familiar scent. It was Ravenclaw, the new queen. Berrypaw's pelt bristled slightly at the LightningClan scent still on her, but there was another scent too... Milk? Had Ravenclaw been eating Twoleg food? Berrypaw quickly banished the thought from her mind, but went to investigate. Ravenclaw was still adjusting to the wooded territory of NightClan, as were all the new additions to NightClan. Ravenclaw was easy to find, due to her grumbling about burs catching her pelt. Was it Berrypaw, or was Ravenclaw a bit plumper than usual? Had she been eating while on the hunt? Berrypaw banished that thought from her mind too. "If anything, she's expecting kits." Berrypaw told herself. At least, she hoped it was true.

Arcticwonders is the only one who can approve characters, so you'd do best to ping her, even though she's not online a lot, anymore.

@Choocalate
"I'd better go. Bye, Stormpaw!" Spiderbite purred.
"Okay." Stormpaw waved his tail. 'I'd betetr get hunting.' he sniffed the air, smelling a mouse. He crouched down, ready to pounce.

((Would Nightstar or someone smell Spiderbite's scent on Stormpaw, or...? LOL. I want him to get caught someone. x3))

whispers • 12 March 2013 at 5:02 PM

Reddapple was gone. It was unknown to where she had died, but she was in a dream from Star Clan. Poor Crowpaw has no mentor now, and he's only an apprentice.

Froststar sighed, maybe one of the other clans' medicine cats can help him.

redstar-fireclan • 12 March 2013 at 5:28 PM

Brokenstar sat next to Snakebite.
"I don't know what I can do for her," he sighed.
"It's her kit, and you did the right thing. I wouldn't want a Queen-Medicine cat." Snakebite snorted.
"I know, but Jayfur was. Wavefoot was." Brokenstar looked at her. "In the old Clans, Leafpool was."
"We're not the old Clans. We're FireClan." Snakebite said.
"Yes, but WindClan and ShadowClan, mainly WindClan, are out ancestors." Brokenstar said. He sighed. "Sort patrols, Snakebite."
Snakebite bowed, and padded outside.

@Whispers
Why am I wanting to write Brokentail and Snarkerbite, and Snakerocks? O.o

Berrypaw and Windpaw(flame) can. 😊

Ravenclaw was so cross nowadays. She had found out one moon agao she was expecting kits. One moon after she had been accepted into NightClan. One more moon until her kittens were born. One more moon until the worst of leaf-bare. One more moon to tell Bumblestripe. One more moon to make sure her kittens were welcome in the Clan. To make sure that she--herself-- was.
Ravenclaw had been pulling burs out of her fur every few minutes or so. She had yet to adjust to her new territory. Blackflash had already taken her off patrols, her belly was beginning to swell with unborn lives, but that hadn't stopped her from getting out of camp today. Or from hunting a magpie that settled on a branch a few catlengths ahead of her nose.
~~
Berrypaw watched Ravenclaw wash the burs out of her fur. Seeing nothing wrong with the new NightClan cat's behavior, Berrypaw went on her way, and promptly caught a sparrow, which she buried with her squirrel.

@choocalate @redstar-fireclan

Hehe, I'm on my side xD

Froststar watched as Crowpaw diligently worked with one of the warriors that had contracted whitecough. He was knowledgeable apprentice, yes, but he didn't know everything. She was disappointed with Reddapple's death, now she had to mentor this apprentice. But yet, she didn't know everything about medicine cat's duty.

@horror / @whispers

Should Peachblossom go to WindClan for a while to partially mentor Crowpaw? It could be like having an at-home tutor. X)

Peachblossom was going through their herb stores, making sure that NightClan would have enough herbs to make it through leaf-bare, if any of the LightningClan cats got sick. Her brother, Sunpaw, came through the entrance to her den. "Can I help you?" she asked him, purring.
"No." came his reply. "I was just checking up on you. You've had to undertake a lot of Owleyes' duties since his joints started aching."
"It's only due to the cold weather." Peachblossom shrugged. "When new-leaf comes around, he'll be racing around camp like a 'paw again, to make up for the duties he's been unable to do."

Brokenstar watched his deputy padd out.
'Oh, StarClan, am I doing the right thing?'

____________________________

Stormpaw's hunting was doing well. He had already caught two mice, two voles. And now, hopefully, a squirrel.

Deleted • 13 March 2013 at 10:25 PM

Berrypaw continued on to catch a shrew and a mouse, but was unable to find the last piece of prey she needed. Shortly, though, she found another sparrow, and readied herself in her hunting crouch.

Stormpaw leaped onto the squirrel, and killed it with a bite to the neck.
'Now to bring this back.' he thought.

Deleted • 14 March 2013 at 5:37 PM

@redstar-fireclan

Berrypaw missed the sparrow, but quickly sniffed out a lethargic mouse, and killed. She carried it back to the rest of her prey triumphantly, and attempted to carry all five pieces of prey at once. She grabbed the two mice in her mouth, tucked the shrew under her chin, and slung the squirrel over her back, but that left the sparrow. "Now, how to manage this?"

redstar-fireclan • 14 March 2013 at 6:14 PM

Stormpaw grabbed the two mice in his mouth.
'Ugh. How am I going to do this?' he thought. He shrugged. He sat the mice down, and dug the others to come back for. He picked the mice up again, and went to camp.

Thankfully, Windpaw and Sunpaw, who were out for one of their final hunts before they would become warriors, we're walking by.
"Need help, Berrypaw?" Sunpaw asked.
Berrypaw nodded and pointed at the sparrow with her paw. Sunpaw picked it up and went back to camp with her, where they were greeted by Yelloweye, who had to untangle himself from Marshkit and Robinkit to help Berrypaw toss her prey onto the fresh-kill pile.
