Warriors of the Forest

Crowpaw began to follow Froststar around like a kit dependent on his mother. She had snapped at him a few times about it. She had her own businesses to get to, and with him following her around, they wouldn't get done.

"Crowpaw, don't you have things to attend to?" She hissed at the small apprentice.

Her wearied back. "No, Froststar. Rosethorn's whitecough is healing quite quickly, and she is sleeping right now. Since she is of my only concern right now, I have nothing to do... Maybe you can teach me something?"

Froststar looked at the medicine cat apprentice as if he were insane. She had just given him a lesson just minutes ago. "No! I have my own business as a leader to get done, and with you around, I cannot!" She spat at him. "Just leave me alone till sunhigh, please! It hasn't been long since sunrise, and you are already beginning to get on my last nerve!"

Crowpaw gasped. Choked back the words he was going to say. He looked pretty torn up. And he trembled a bit, and he nodded, and backed up slowly. Quickly, he ran into his den. He didn't talk to any cat for the rest of the day.

Didn't even come out.

@whispers
Aw, I'm sorry. Feel better soon!
Should Peachblossom or Owleyes go to WindClan until Crowpaw gets his full name...?

Nightstar had managed to get to the top of her den, but she sat their, feeling only a tiny bit better than she had that morning. She drew in a deep breath, and that seemed to help clear her head.
Across the clearing, the elders were entertaining Foxfur and Yelloweye's kits, but Robinkit was attempting to restle Squirrelhop's tail to the ground, instead of listening to the story Heavystep was telling.
Fernshade and Pineleaf were sitting together under a bush. No doubt there would be even more kits in the Clan soon. Berryseed and Feathertail were sharing tongues by the medicine cat den, where Feathertail's brother resided.
Peachblossom was crossing from her den to the nursery, where Ravenclaw and Bumblestripe were sharing tongues. Peachblossom dropped the herbs she had been carrying at Ravenclaw's paws. Blackflash had made a wise decision, taking Ravenclaw off patrols this early. Nightstar nearly purred at Ravenclaw, watching the other she-cat bend around her increasingly swollen belly to get at the herbs. To help her out, Peachblossom pushed the herbs closer to Ravenclaw's muzzle.
Near the entrance to the fern tunnel, Starlingflight and Bluebird were going out to hunt with each other. Another pair of mates? Good thing Bluebird wasn't going to have kits anytime soon, at least not willingly. Froststripe wasn't far behind the two, but she was constantly distracted by her other Clanmates, her bobtail flicking a greeting to them.

@Choocalate
Berryseed?

Stormpaw, after putting his mice in the fresh-kill pile, padded to get his voles and squirrel. But when he did...

Stormpaw felt the breath of the fox behind him.
'T-two...foxes?!' he thought.
Stormpaw got low, his tail inbetween his paws.
'Great StarClan, help me!' he thought as one of the foxes got closer.

@Whispers
Get better soon! Please!

whispers • 15 March 2013 at 8:25 PM

@choocalate That would be cool ^^
@redstar-fireclan I'll try xD

Crowpaw. Stumbled out of a hole in the back of his den, in search of another clans' medicine cat. To get some tutoring, at least. He needed a real cat with the knowledge of herbs to help him; not Froststar.

He went in the direction of Peachblossom's territory.
She would give him some help.

@redstar-fireclan
Berrypaw, Hazelpaw, and Molepaw's mother is Berryseed.

@whispers
K.😊

Blackflash was leading a border patrol when Blossomfall smelled the fox. "Blackflash, we have to chase it off!" she had said.
As they drew closer to the foxes, another scent became recognizable. "Stormpaw!" Gasped Flamewave.
Blackflash looked around at his patrol. Seeing he had enough cats to drive away a fox, he yowled, "NightClan, attack!"

redstar-fireclan • 19 March 2013 at 6:49 PM

Stormpaw curled up and covered his head with his paws.

@Choocalate
Ooohhh!
LOL.

Deleted • 19 March 2013 at 9:09 PM

@redstar-fireclan
Yup.😊
@whispers

NightClan swarmed over the foxes, clawing at their eyes and throats. The foxes let out an anguished howl, but composed themselves and started to counterattack.
"Flamewave, go back to camp and get help!" a cat yowled. The dust stuffed up from the battle was too thick to see who had said it, but Flamewave dropped off of a fox's back onto the forest floor, and ran to the direction of camp.

redstar-fireclan • 19 March 2013 at 9:12 PM

Stormpaw tried to see who was saving him, but clased his eyes again as another fox got closer.

@Choocalate

Deleted • 19 March 2013 at 9:17 PM

@redstar-fireclan
This is taking too long. Let's just say Flamewave found a patrol, and they hurt the foxes very badly. X) Windpaw and Sunpaw were in the patrol.
And what is Stormpaw's warrior name going to be? I, personally, thought Stormfire sounded really cool, but he's your charrie.

Shadepelt was marking the FireClan-NightClan border with a few other cats, when they caught the scent of a FireClan cat. He was very close to the border, and had been here recently. A few of the cats in Shadepelt's patrol started bristling.
"Relax. It's just a FireClan furball, on his side of the border. Let's leave it for now."

redstar-fireclan • 19 March 2013 at 9:23 PM

@Choocalate
I wanted Stormthunder. It's Nightstar's choise, you know? That DOES sound cool, though, and I like Stormthunder.

Stormpaw tensed.
'They...they found my brother. Great StarClan, Spiderbite, please be in FireClan camp now!' he thought.

Deleted • 19 March 2013 at 9:26 PM

@redstar-fireclan
Both of those sound really cool. Such tough decisions! >.<

Shadepelt found Stormpaw... Somewhere.
"Hey there, 'paw." she said cheerfully. "Want to come back to camp? I heard from Yelloweye you were out on assessment, and then those foxes came around, so..."

redstar-fireclan • 19 March 2013 at 9:30 PM

"Yea," Stormpaw looked back and saw a flash of brown fur and his fur went up.
He couldn't hold it in; he had to protect his brother!
"SPIDERBITE, MOVE!"

The warrior pricked his ears and noticed Stormpaw's new Clanmates were beside him.
'Great StarClan, help me.'

@Choocalate
SPIDERBITE IS BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER! xD
Anyway, I just want someone to get caught. And don't worry, Stormpaw still has his "get revenge on FireClan" mood. He just is, well, nice to his littermates, Spiderbite and Brackenleaf (He got blinded by Maplefrost, but Stormpaw doesn't know this.LOL.)

Deleted • 19 March 2013 at 9:35 PM

@redstar-fireclan
Why is Spiderbite on NightClan terr.?

"Spiderbite?" Hazelpaw hissed. "He's that new warrior from FireClan! I saw him at the last Gathering!"

redstar-fireclan • 19 March 2013 at 9:41 PM

@Choocalate
He's evil 😈
Nah, I'm joking. LOL. Lets say he was chasing a squirrel, and ran over the border. CARELESS WARRIOR! D:<
LOL.


"Uh, no, you didn't." Spiderbite stepped back. "That was, uh, Spider, uh, Spiderfang. I-I'm a different cat."

Stormpaw nodded. "Yea, they're, uh, different. Twins! Taht's right; they're twins. He's black with brown, Spiderfang's, uh, brown with black spots."

Deleted • 19 March 2013 at 9:49 PM

@redstar-fireclan

Hazelpaw raised her eyebrows at both of them.
"Spiderfang is Daisyclaw's new mate, silly. Everyone knows that he's in NightClan."
Shadepelt's patrol had fanned out around Spiderbite. Shadepelt tried to keep her tone friendly. "Well, you've broken the Warrior Code by trespassing, so I guess we'll have to take you to our camp until you can go back home, but don't worry, we'll do our best to make sure that your, ah, brief stay comfortable."

redstar-fireclan • 21 March 2013 at 3:35 PM

@Choocalate

"What?!" Both Spiderbite and Stormpaw leaped back.
"I-I can't!" Spiderbite mewed. "I-I... My Clan!"
Stormpaw sighed. "Please let him go. He's...he's my littermate. I can't stand to see him, uh, upset."

Deleted • 21 March 2013 at 4:20 PM

@redstar-fireclan

"Too bad. You'll have time to think about you Clans when things get sorted out. For now, I'll send Peachblossom and Blackflash to FireClan to tell them about Spiderbite." Shadepelt mewed. She started to head back to camp, her patrol attempting to nudge Stormpaw and Spiderbite forwards.
@whispers

redstar-fireclan • 21 March 2013 at 4:32 PM

Stormpaw glanced at Spiderbite.
"Sorry," his gaze said.
Spiderbite shook his head.
"Why are you guys doing this?" Stormpaw asked. "It's just one Code. Plus, it's his first time over the border! Can't you cut FireClan some slack?"
He just relized what he said.
'Perfect. Just because my brother's here, I'm acting all "nothing went on" with FireClan. I hate my FireClan roots!"' he thought.

@Choocalate

Deleted • 21 March 2013 at 4:49 PM

@redstar-fireclan

Shadepelt shook her head. "I'm sorry Stormpaw, but it is the Code, and cats need to follow it more than ever, since StarClan has stopped talking to us. We have to respect the other Clans!"
Hazelpaw nodded at her mentor, so much that it looked like her head would fall off. "I'll run ahead and tell Peachblossom and Blackflash what you said." Hazelpaw shot a withering glance at Stormpaw and his brother as she ran off.
@whispers

redstar-fireclan • 21 March 2013 at 4:55 PM

@Choocalate
Withering?
*Searches on Google.*
Oh! LOL.

Stormpaw sighed. "Fine."
Spiderbite tilted his head. "StarClan hasn't abandoned us! Brokenstar got a prophecy from Nightstar, who got it from Daisystar. Only FireClan seems not to be able to talk to StarClan,"
'Oh, NOW, you talk.' Stormpaw snorted.

Deleted • 21 March 2013 at 5:01 PM

@redstar-fireclan

Shadepelt flattened her ears at this. It wasn't good to know that only FireClan couldn't contact their ancestors.
"How are the LightningClan warriors coming along in their new home?" she asked, changing the subject.
@whispers

redstar-fireclan • 21 March 2013 at 5:06 PM

"Good." Spiderbite repiled. "They're doing well, although they have to get used to our size. They're not fast enough to catch rabbits yet, but once they...starve, I guess you can say, they should be able to." he looked at Stormpaw. "You don't even look like a FireClan cat anymore."
"Well, I don't chase rabbits all day for one," Stormpaw grumbled.
Spiderbite flattened his ears. "Is this why you attacked Daisystar? Because you got tired of catching rabbits?" he hissed.
"No. I got tired of HER." Stormpaw's claws unshethed.

@Choocalate
FireClan cats are skinny, like WindClan. They're decented from WindClan. LOL. Is it just me, or am I obbsessed with WindClan?

Deleted • 21 March 2013 at 5:14 PM

@redstar-fireclan

"Here we are!" Shadepelt interrupted. She called across the camp clearing to Bumblestripe and Ravenclaw, "Please make sure that Spiderbite will be comfortable for as long as he has to stay in NightClan, and that he will be warm enough to spend the night, if Peachblossom and Blackflash don't make it to FireClan on time."
Peachblossom poked her head out of her den when she heard her name. "Shadepelt, couldn't you send someone else? I have to take care of Squirrelhop and Owleyes!"
Blackflash jumped down from beside Nightstar on the top of her den. "I can bring Heavystep instead. If he can run around our territory every sunup, he can make it to FireClan."

redstar-fireclan • 21 March 2013 at 5:53 PM

@Choocalate
Spiderbite crouched low, not an attack crouch; a scared crouch.
"Uh, do I have to sleep here?" he asked.
"Spiderbite, it's not really that bad. Trust me, when NightClan found me, they had me sleep there." Stormpaw winked. "Scare the kits, and you'll be fine. They've been raised on stories saying FireClan apprentices and warriors eat other-Clan kits. It's amusing."

Deleted • 21 March 2013 at 7:16 PM

@redstar-fireclan

"It was not!" chorused Berrypaw, Molepaw, and Hazelpaw from the apprentices' den.
"Molepaw, come on! We're going to FireClan!" Blackflash mewed. Molepaw hopped across the clearing to the fern tunnel, where Heavystep and Blackflash were waiting. When Molepaw go there, they stepped out of camp and crossed the territory until the got to the border.

No, I don't think that you're obsessed with WindClan. Sorry I didn't reply earlier, we had trouble with out Wi-fi.

redstar-fireclan • 25 March 2013 at 4:18 PM

@Choocalate
It's fine...
Read my @status


"Oh, yes it was!" Stormpaw purred.

"Hey!" a black tom hissed. "What are you doing here!"
A gray tabby she-cat followed him. She sighed. "Shadeforest, calm down," she turned towards the NightClan cats. "What can I do for you?"

Deleted • 25 March 2013 at 7:25 PM

@redstar-fireclan

Oh, I'm so sorry! My dog can't be far behind though...
How old was your dog?

Hazelpaw promptly shunned Stormpaw, good-naturedly, while Berrypaw crouched in a mock attack crouch.

Blackflash nodded to the FireClan cats. "We need to speak with Brokenstar. It is not a big matter, but one that needs to be discussed anyway."

whispers • 25 March 2013 at 7:37 PM

Crowpaw didn't recognize any of the scents that swallowed him up in the middle of the field. It wasn't Wind Clan, for sure. All he thought of now was Reddapple. Maybe she got in the same situation. Maybe this was how she died.

The small apprenticed collapsed in the field. His scent of fear was strong, and it was quite clear since her was trembling like a newborn kit. Crowpaw just trembled and wailed.

"Star Clan, please! I don't want to die!" he shook his head back and forth, in denial. "I don't want to!"

-

Froststar got up from her den, it was moonhigh. She decided to talk to poor Crowpaw. Quietly, in the dead of the night, she padded over to the medicine cat's den. The scent of herbs was strong, and when she walked in. She just about woke the whole clan up: Crowpaw was gone.

Deleted • 25 March 2013 at 9:22 PM

@whispers

Owleyes was out walking along the river border between NightClan and FireClan when he heard the cry. He couldn't tell what it is, but he answered, "If you are a Clan cat, come to my voice! I am a medicine cat; I won't hurt you!"
Owleyes' voice echoed strangely in the forest. He suddenly wondered if he was going senile. 'I ought to join the elders, soon.' he thought. 'But no! There is still much Peachblossom has to learn!' Owleyes shook his head sadly. 'I am old,' he thought to himself. 'I am a very old and foolish cat.'

whispers • 26 March 2013 at 5:05 PM

@choocalate

Crowpaw's ears pricked up, and he suddenly stopped wailing. Slowly, he got back up on his feet and began to head towards the voice. His head was at an odd angle, and his eyes were squinted.

He heard some mumbling as he got closer to whomever it was. He sighed in relief, because he realized his mind wasn't making things up to calm his nerves.

"Hello?"
