Do Good Things /Really/ Come in Threes?

[(aurora) of the problematique]

<sup>Solsticesong's face bore no emotion at the three retreating. She was only glad that her Clan was not severely hurt. The femme sighed heavily and then turned at the sound of her name. She lifted her brows at Littlefox's words and nodded quietly, padding over to Razortomb. Her broad paw reached out and held down the cobwebs. "Littlefox will take care of you," she said quietly, her gaze still torn to EclipseClan's entrance. She had kept calm through the experience, control gripping her. Growing up with Fernpelt had honed her skills in being "sub-deputy" for her best friend.

Sighing in relief at seeing the withdrawal of the three, Sunheart rested her guard on the nursery and turned to her kits. Seeing Toweringkit protecting them, Maverickkit with his claws out, and the girls complying with their brothers for once, her heart warmed as she rushed over to her children. "My little ones," she said breathlessly, pressing against Maverickkit and Toweringkit the most. "My two little brave tomkits protecting your sisters. What good boys!" She groomed them proudly and turned her attention to Sphinxkit. "You too, Sphinxkit. You were a good girl too, being brave just like your brothers."</sup>

[kee :]]

_{When Sunheart turned to the kits, her worry gone, Toweringkit knew that those horrible rogues were gone. He smiled in relief and wondered if Rosemarypaw was alright. She probably was out hunting or watching from a safe distant. His attention turned back to his mother, who came to them, covering him and Maverickkit with licks. He let her groom him, feeling proud that he had protected his siblings and that for once it wasn't Maverickkit that was the bravest. For once in his life, the three of them had gotten along and thank StarClan Mahoganykit was still asleep.}

[FIREH!!]

_{Sphinxkit purred proudly. Yeah! If one of 'em came here, we'd beat 'em so easily! Right guys? And if Mahoganykit woke up, she could've helped a lot too! She purred happily.}

[SHADE. :D]

// I'm not even going to bother positing here... You could've waited for me. Cats aren't supposed to attack with orders from their leader. ._.

[lycan]

OoC|| An EXCELLANT point, though very few people follow that rule...

[FIREH!!]

_{ooc;; Sorry shade!}

[Spice..xx]

<sub>[ooc]Lol same, theres no point now.

Just to ask Shade could Petal move to the nursery soon or should we wait a bit?</sub>

[kee :]]

_{//ooc :: eeks. ahhh... I always forget that rule. XD Sowwy 'bout that. But at least Towy didn't attack anyone. He's too sweet.
Towy :: -puppy eyes-\\}

[cheshy says grace]

((eek O.O sorry, I didn't know, well, Moonmist didn't attack anyone anyways, right? And tempest was just protecting her. And they attacked us first, so don't say nuffin' Lycan.))

Moonmist returned Littlefox's smile, "Thank you, Littlefox. And I'll think I'll do that tonight." She stood up slowly and slumped over to her mate. She licked his cheek, "Razortomb, dear, I think it's time for me to move to the nursery."

Tempestwave nodded thankfully, "Thanks, ma'am." He limped three-legged back to the warrior's den. The tomcat yawned, "'Night all."[/blockquote][/blockquote][/sub]

[FIREH!!]

<sub>Littlefox noticed the wave of cats who approached her. The first name that popped in her mind, she called out. Scrawltale! Can you come help me? She called to the warrioress.

Razortomb purred. That's great! He exclaimed. He pressed against her, and purred.</sub>

[fernie. (:]

[[Frik. It would be good if I checked posts of the Clan I play deputy in once in a while, hey? >.>]]

A patched flash raced through the undergrowth, wet soil flicking from beneath her pumping legs. Fernpelt, deputy of EclipseClan, raced into camp, eyes blazing. She had heard Razortomb's battle cry as she was hunting on the borders. She stopped dead in the center of the Clan clearing, looking around, claws sheathed. She sighted Littlefox treating wounds, and three strange cats bearing no Clan scent. 'What in the name of StarClan happened here? I go for an early hunt, hoping to be back before everyone is up, but no. I come back and find three strange cats in our Clan and a warrior injured!' she yowled, shouting at no-one in particular, but gesturing heatedly at Razortomb. 'You three,' she gestured with her tail at the three strange cats. 'Who the heck are you and what makes you think you have rights to come into my camp and, by the looks of it, attack my warriors?' she asked, stalking towards them, tail fluffed to twice its usual size and her eyes slits.

[[Snarl.]]

[SHADE. :D]

// I know, Fernie. *sigh* And yeah, I guess Petaldance should move to the nursery aboyt now. =P

Milling about the crowd, Scrawltale was seething. The small, skinny she-cat sat down in the snow, paws working at the cold blanket. Her bronze-coloured fur had risen as high as it could reach; which still was not particularly high. Scrawltale sank her claws into the frosty surface. They had enough to worry about without rogues entering the camp. Especially with Amethyststar, and half of the apprentices, away. Scrawltale pricked up her large, pointed bat-ears as she heard a voice call her name. The Rex she-cat trotted towards Littlefox and nodded. "If you wish," she mewed, turning to wait for those injured to come to here. Scrawltale felt a pang as she spotted Toweringkit - her grandson. He reminded her cruelly of Aspenkit, her own lost son. Lonelyheart's bitter comments still cut like a cold blade into her heart.

^{Solsticesong lifted her head when she heard Fernpelt's voice and the she-cat came to her feet. "Fernpelt!" she called, her husky voice seeming a boom among the other voices of the Clan. The white, black, and gray fur of the she-cat swayed as the large femme ran over to her friend's side. "I got them to retreat. I apologize for not alerting you, but I felt it was necessary to keep a stable condition for the Clan. I apologize for not remembering my place as warrior," she said quietly, watching the three cats with an emotionless glance. Her dark-amber eyes turned to her deputy and friend. "Our defense seemed imperative at the time."}

[fernie. (:]

[[She wasn't sleeping. She went hunting.]]
Fernpelt took her blazing eyes away from the three cats to see her best friend pad to her side. She listened to what the femme had to say, and nodded. 'No, if anyone's, it was my fault. Amethyststar put me in charge of the Clan while she was away, and I should have stayed in camp, in case something like this happened. I should have remembered my position as deputy.' Fernpelt hung her head for a second, before looking at Solsticesong again. 'You did very well. But what happened?' she asked, glancing back at the rogues.

[Spice..xx]

_{Petaldance padded swiftly into camp, her belly beggining to bulge out from beneath her sift downy pelt. She had come as quickly as she could, she had been on a walk around the borders, a kind of patrol as she had woken early and needed a walk when she had heard Razortombs battle cry. Not wanting to hurry as she was worried for her kits she had gone as quickly as she could to camp, having to hide in the bushes as she saw 3 rogue cats go past her. She dashed into camp and went straight to the nursery. "Sunheart? Are you ok? And the kits? What in the name of StarClan happened?" she asked breathlessly, shifting uncomfortably. She looked outside fleetingly, hoping for a glimpse of Pantherstealth. She heard Moonmists talk about moving to ther nursery and nodded towards her. "I think i'll be joining you" she said, indicating to her swollen belly with her tail.}[/color]

<sub>[[Whoops! o.o *edits*]]

Solsticesong turned her head towards the retreating bodies as they disappeared. "They entered our camp without permission. When, of course, we reacted with hostile replies of 'no' and 'what is your business here?', one of their number proceeded to threaten to cannabalize Moonmist's future litter and another attacked Tempestwave and Razortomb when they rushed to defend her," the she-cat informed the deputy. "I knocked one brute over the head and stopped the quarrel. After exchanging words with the three, they retreated, squalling that they would spill EclipseClan's blood next time they came." Solsticesong sighed heavily and turned to Littlefox with a gentle wave of her paw. "Now, Littlefox and the uninjured are tending to Razortomb and the others."

Sunheart let out a mew when she heard her friend's voice and the Rex queen came to her paws. "Three rogues came in," she said, nodding at Solsticesong's recount. "I prepared myself to defend the nursery if something happened and little Toweringkit and the others were so brave." Her eyes twinkled when she mentioned her kits. "Are you okay!?" she asked, remembering what the big cat had threatened to do to Moonmist. She shuddered, praying that StarClan would punish that cat if he ever tried to attack any of the queens, or anyone of EclipseClan for that matter!</sub>

[FIREH!!]

_{Littlefox smiled at the she-cat who had accepted to help her. Can you dress this wound on Tempestwave? She asked, indicating the warrior with her tail. She smiled again and padded away to fetch more herbs.}

[cheshy says grace]

Moonmist smiled at Petaldance andrubbed her flanks against her mate's. She purred,"That's great!"

((Gah! No muse Dx

And,ZOMFG!! IT's -awesome trumpety music- da-da-da-daaaa!!! FERNPELT!!!!))

[/blockquote][/blockquote][/color]

[SHADE. :D]

Scrawltale dipped her head in assent, disappearing breifly into Littlefox's den. She sifted through the herbs with her thin forepaws, choosing the correct one's for dressing Tempestwave's wound. She had learnt about some medicines after Aspenkit's death; she had withdrawn from her warrior duties and spent time helping Lunardance in her den. Scrawltale picked up the leaves and berries in her mouth, careful not to swallow so much as a morsel. Upon reaching Tempestwave, Scrawltale spat out the leaves, though she left the berries in her mouth. She chewed, making a paste, before spitting it onto one the leaves. Scrawltale then pressed the leaf to the wound, securing it with smallrt leaves. "That okay?" she asked Tempestwave, tail flicking from side to side. "Does it hurt anywhere else?"

[cheshy says grace]

Tempest wave smiled at Scrawltale, "Thanks," he said, holding his tail high. He watched her press the leaf onto his wound. The brown tabby looked down at his paws, then up again. He nodded to his right flank, "Something stings over there."

[/blockquote][/blockquote]

[KURI. (happy birfday to me :D)]

Maplepaw spat on the ground and growled as the rouges vanished into the night. She would have done anything to go out and claw their fur off, but right now she was much to tired. She breifly glanced around camp for Crowpaw or Troutpaw, but neither could be seen.

[/blockquote]

[ooc] My muse is gone. ;-;[/size]

[SHADE. :D]

Scrawltale gave a polite nod as Tempestwave thanked her. Though she worked calmly and without snide comments and whatnot, she did not seem to truly connect with the outside world. She had been like this, around all but her close family, simce Fennecmask's disappearance, and Aspenkit's death before t. Scrawltale's paws shook slightly as she examined the second wound; a short scrape that oozed blood. The she-cat pressed pawfuls of cobwebs onto the wound, before wrapping it in a poultice of its own. "There," she mewed. "Is that all?"

[&&R.A.V.E.N :3]

Prophecypaw

The rustle of the leafs above his head woke his with a start, pupilless eyes darted around the medicine den as the three-leged tom fought to get his balance. As a moment passed, the tom stood to his full height before padding out. "Littlefox?" Prophecypaw mewed, his voice ghostly from the sleep that still clung to his dark grey and brown pelt. The small tom's eyes flicked around, trying to find his mentor. Spotting her, he padded forwards. "Littletree? Is there anything you would like me to do?" Prophecypaw asked, glancing around agian. What happened while I was asleep? He asked himself, gently shrugging his shoulders.

[FIREH!!]

<sub>ooc;;Uhhh... It's Littlefox. xDDDD

bic;; Littlefox raised her head from where she was dressing a wound on Razortomb. She beckoned her apprentice over. I think we're almost done here. Afterwards, can you come with me and help me fetch some more herbs? And can you bring me some marigold right now? She asked him, licking his head in welcome.</sub>

[cheshy says grace]

Tempestwave smiled at her, "No, I don't think so." He turned her face her, limping in one spot since his paw was wounded. "Thanks for everything," he mumbled, then yawned. After he recovered her muttered, "After you're done healing everyone, would you like to come hunting with... m-me?"

[/color][/blockquote][/blockquote]

[&&R.A.V.E.N :3]

Oops. Sorry about that. I have a friend who has a cat named Littletree, so I might do that often XDD

Prophecypaw~

Prophecypaw nodded, padding back towards he den he had just come out of. He sniffed out the herb his mentor asked for before hobbling back towards Littlefox. "Of course I will come. Is there anyone who still needs treating?" He asked,his eyes flicking around the camp, letting the pupilless blue-silver eyes rest upon some of the injured.

[FIREH!!]

_{Littlefox shook her head. Razortomb is the last. Thanks, She took the herbs from Prophecypaw and placed them unto Razortomb's wounds. Then she sent him away with the words she had told the others, and turned to Prophecypaw. Now, let's go. She meowed.[/sub[}

[&&R.A.V.E.N :3]

Prophecypaw

Prophecypaw nodded as she hurried to keep up with his mentor. He cleared his throat a few times, to try and atleast see if it would work to get his voice out of it's scartchy feeling. "What herbs do we need today?" He asked, hissing under his breath at his voice, still the same as it normally was. Pupilless, blue-silver eyes flicked towards the she-cat, waiting for her answer.

[FIREH!!]

<sub>The medicine cat smiled at her apprentice, clearly understanding what he was trying to do with his voice. We need a little bit of almost everything. She sighed, slowing down a bit so her apprentice could catch up.
