Ice-blue eyes inspected the den carefully, stopping over each cat sprawled or curled beside her. No other cat seemed to be awake. Glacierstripe yawned, and layed her head on her paws. She was a warrior now for two moons, and had gotten used to her new den, with her nest between Frogpounce and Spectrumflash. Her brothers were good warmth providers, but she longed for a friend. Then maybe, one day, a mate. But she needed a friend first.
She curled her tail over her nose comfortably, and closed her eyes. A vision obscured her. Lonelyheart, screeching in pain as she kitted too early. When she'd died. And no one knew what had happened to her. For some reason, something inside the silver tabby was unsure that the white queen had made it to StarClan. She shook her head, opening her eyes blearily. Of course Lonelyheart was in StarClan. Where else was there to go?

The sun was streaming through the fern fronds onto Pantherstealth's muzzle, though this was not what awakened him. The dappled brown warrior opened his fiery amber eyes, shutting them hastily agsinst the glare of the bright hot orb. Eventually he eased open his eyes. The young warrior ran his tongue over his lips, wondering what had woken him up. Rolling onto his paws nimbly, he spotted Glacierstripe. The warrior stretched his long limbs and yawned, grinning at the silver tabby warrioress. "Hi, Glacierstripe!" he mewed cheerily. |

Glacierstripe grinned at the dappled warrior, her eyes sparkling. A friend was finally awake! She sat up, yawned, and licked her ear once or twice. "Good morning. I see you at least are finally awake! The rest of these lazy furballs are sleeping in, I guess." Her whiskers twitched in amusement, and she blinked at him. "Wanna go hunting?"

.ooc; I just realised Pantherstealth and Glacierstripe are distantly related. Glacierstripe's father was Patherstealth's brother. He's her uncle, and their nearly the same age. xDD
Pantherstealth nodded sagely. "They always do." He eyed his the dappled body of his sister Daintyfoot distastefully. Jumping at the offer of hunting, he nodded. "Okay. Sure." The brown dappled warior sprang from the den, shaking a scrap of moss from his large ears. He glanced behind him before darting into the woods. |

OOC: lol, that's hilarious! :3
Glacierstripe raced after him, her ears up and her pelt rippling as she did.
OOC: You can start the post, I'll sneak on tommorow at a friends' house... LOL

Spicetalon awoke, shivering his scar laced pelt. His muscles rippled in the sun, as his fur soaked up the rays. He yawned widely, showing his pearly whites. He stepped delicately to Amethyststar's den and meowed, "Hey sis, knock knock."

Amethysystar was hunched over Selenekit, watching her sleeping daughter. Corbynkit was asleep a little way away. She had to do it today. MoonClan would have Selenekit; it was only fair that she should bear the burden of her offspring, as she had to. She glanced at Corbynkit as she did so, her eyes expressionless. It seemed she loved neither of her kiys; she did not even seem to like them. The black warrioress straightened up as she heard her brother's cheery voice. Amethyststar twitched her ears as an idea came to her. She padded silently to meet Spicetalon at the entrance to her den, touching noses gently with the silvery-grey tabby tom. "Spicetalon, will you look after Corbynkit while I'm gone?" She woke pulled Selenekit towards her. "There's something I need to do." She searched the camp with her amber eyed gaze, looking for the glossy tortoiseshell pelt of her deputy, Fernpelt. |

Fernpelt opened her eyes to see sunlight streaming through the cracks in the warriors' den. She got up and stretched her long legs, then padded out into the harsh light, which made her squint her eyes to see where she was going. She went to the fresh-kill pile and chose a chaffinch, then looked around the camp lazily. She noticed Amethyststar was out of her den, and Fernpelt nodded respectfully to her. |

Amethyststar ignored Spicetalon's query. "Will you look after my son?" she asked again. While she waited for an answer, she spotted Fernpelt, and flicked her tail to beckon her. "Fernpelt, I need to go someone," her voice was guarded. "Will you look after the camp while I'm gone? Scrawltale can lead the sunhigh patrol. Tell her to take Razortomb, Scarletpetal and Brokenpaw." The black cat disappeared into her den for a moment, then returned with Selenekit in her jaws. The kit was still sleeping. She twitched her whiskers in farewell before trotting briskly out of camp, leaving the two cats alone.
Spectrumflash hobbled into camp on his torn and bitten leg. He stumbled and fell, hissing in pain. The grey and white warrior lay there in the dust, humilated and filled with hurt pride. |

Fernpelt nodded through a mouthful of fresh kill, remembering the instructions. She woundered what her leader needed to do, especially with her kit, but knew better than to ask.
Scarletpetal padded into camp behind her brother, and ran up to him when he fell. She nudged him until he was up, then thrust herself beneath him so she could support him. Then she slowly made her way to the medicine cat's den. |

Spectrumflash followed his sister, limping heavily and leaning on her ginger side. The grey and white warrior blinked slowly, his blue eyes dull as pebbles. The warrior hobbled into Littlefox's den with Scarletpetal, spots of blood leaving a trail behind him. The young warrior collapsed again once in the shelter of the medicine cat's den. Exhaustion weaved webs in his mind, clouding his judgement and making his eyelids droop. He longed to curl up and sleep for moons, however long it took for the pain to evaporate. |

Once Fernpelt had finished her prey, she went looking for Scrawltale, Razortomb, Scarletpetal and Brokenpaw. She peered inside the warriors' den, squinting in the half light, looking for the warriors. |

Littlefox meowed, "What happened?" As the cat padded into her den and collapsed.
Spicetalon but nodded, stepping into her den and watching the kits.
Razortomb came to the deputy, solemn, as he waited for her to tell him what to do.

Fernpelt turned her dark green eyes towards Razortomb. 'Good morning. Amethyststar left me with instructions that Scrawltale should lead the sunhigh patrol, and will take you, Scarletpetal and Brokenpaw.' she mewed. 'I just need to go and tell the others.'
Scarletpetal sat in the medicine cats den beside her brother. As Littlefox came in she mewed, 'We met a loner, and he injured Spectrumflash.' |

Nothing of this world,
I once knew.
Nothing can change,
This hole in my heart for you.
.Razortomb. Razortomb nodded and waited for the other warrior and the apprentices to come. I'd give my life for you,
Just so you could be with me.
I'd give me life to see you,
Your smile that lights up my life.
.Littlefox. [/color] Littlefox nodded. She began to sniff his cuts, and put cobweb on them. She put a poultice of marigold on him as well. "That will stop infection. Take a few poppyseeds, and you'll be fine. I wouldn't reccomend patrols though, you need your rest. "She shook out a few poppyseeds and gave them to him in a leaf. |

Scarletpetal peered out of Littlefox's den. 'Spectrumflash, I think Fernpelt wants me. I'll be back soon okay?' she said, then padded into the clearing and up to Fernpelt. 'Hey Scarletpetal, I'd like you to go on the sunhigh patrol with Scrawltale, Razortomb and Brokenpaw.' she explained. Scarletpetal nodded her head. 'Okay.' Then she padded back off to the medicine cats den. Fernpelt padded to the apprentice's den and stuck her ehad in. 'Brokenpaw?' Fernpelt mewed quietly. |

Spectrumflash nodded and licked up the poppy seeds. He immediatly began to feel drowsy. The tom scuffled a forepaw on the earth, ashamed that he was too ill to leave camp. At Scarletpetal's words, he nodded. "Okay, okay, I'm not a kit." The tom turned, licking his ruffled flank, but before he had finished grooming exhaustion hit him like a tidalwave and his chin hit his paws in slumber.
Scrawltalegot to her paws. She had been sunning her golden flanks in the centre of camp. The warrioress padded over to Fernpelt, dipping her head respectfully to the young tortoiseshell and smiling at Scarletpetal and Razortomb. "Hi, you two," she mewed. "I'm sorry about Spectrumflash, Scarletpetal." The queen looked sympathetically at the ginger she-cat. She knew what it was like. Beacanpaw had been badly injured before, and she hadn't known whether her son would survive. "Apprentices," the she-cat scoffed as Fernpelt called for Brokenpaw. "No sense of urgency."
Amethyststar limped back into camp, looking sad and confused. She had formulated a story in her mind; she would tell her clanmates that Selenekit had been killed by a badger attack. No cat should recogize her daughter, even if she came to a Gathering, as she had kept them away from most of EclipseClan. The black she-cat padded up to Spicetalon, forcing a sad look on her face. "A badger got Selenekit," she burst out, burying her face in Spicetalon's slate coloured shoulder as if overcome with emotion. |

Scarletpetal sighed. 'It's ok. He's strong and stubborn, so I'm hoping he'll get better soon.' she said to the senior warrioress.
Fernpelt came back from the apprentice's den still looking for Brokenpaw. She went up to Scrawltale and Scarletpetal. 'Hello Scrawltale, Scarletpetal. Scrawltale, I'd like you to lead the sunhigh patrol and take Scarletpetal, Brokenpaw and Razortomb.' she finished her message in time to see her leader coming back into camp looking very depressed. |

Littlefox smiled at the warrior as he slept. She padded out to Scarletpetal. "He'll be fine. Oh my," She looked at her leader.
Razortomb smiled and nodded a greeting to Scrawltale, but spoke nothing.
Spicetalon's eyes filled up with grief. "It's alright," He forced himself to stay calm. Hel icked her ears to comfort her.
Littlefox ran ot her leader. "Would you like some poppyseeds to help you sleep?" She asked the black coloured leader.

Amethyststar looked up at the sky. She did feel sad. Sad that Selenekit would have to grow up without a mother or father. But at least now she could be the bold queen she once was. The black she-cat shook her head. "I think I'll be alright." She padded into hr den, and returned with a thrashing Corbynkit in her jaws. "Give him to a nursing queen," she told Littlefox vaguely. "I-I don't want him." The small black she-cat slid back into her den without another word.
Corbynkit hissed and fluffed out his smoky black fur, teeth bared. "Where's Selenekit?" he hissed, tiny claws flexing. "I bet she killed her! She never liked us!" The kit stalked into the nursery by himself, tail erect and bristling. He didn't wait for an escort. Corbynkit slumped down, chin on his paws. Selenekit had been shy and sensible, but she had still been someone. Someone to play with, someone to talk to... And now she was gone. Corbynkit sighed. Deep down, he loved his sister really. |

((I'm going to double as Powderfrost--an elder--just for this board))
The bright ginger-pelted Rex she-cat apprentice yawned widely, cleaning off her face. Sunpaw shook off fallen fern fronds from her fur, skinny tail waving high. "What should I do for the elders today?" she thought to herself, padding out of the apprentice's den. She got a little mouse from the fresh-kill pile for strength and then picked out a large rabbit for Powderfrost, her favorite elder. The elderly she-cat was happy to see Sunpaw when the Rex apprentice came in. "How are you doing today, Sunpaw?" Powderfrost asked, her voice warbling. "Good, Powderfrost. I got a rabbit for you today. Would you like for me to help get rid of your bedding?" Sunpaw responded, but the former queen declined. Another apprentice had done that yesterday. Powderfrost told Sunpaw she needed to sleep, so the ginger cat nodded and bounded out of the elder's den. She poked around in the camp for a while, looking around curiously.
Sunpaw noticed Corbynkit causing a ruckus. She hastily padded up to him, pushed-in nose touching his. "Hey, what's wrong, Corbynkit?" she asked worriedly.

Corbynkit looked up at Sunpaw, eyes churning with confusion and anguish. "My mother!" he spat in reply. "The high-and-mighty, great leader, Amethyststar!" His sarcasm was venomous. The black tom leant against Sunpaw, comforted by the feeling of her short ginger fur. "She took Selenekit away. I hate her," he added. "I hate her." |

Sunpaw mewed against him and nuzzled Corbynkit's head like she saw the queens do. "Aww, c'mon Corbynkit. Amethyststar is a good leader," the Rex she-cat said and then she froze. "What? She took Selenekit away? Where is she? Corbynkit, we gotta find her! Where could she be? BrightClan? SerenityClan?" Sunpaw shook her head nervously and then looked Corbynkit in the eyes. "I...don't know if...this is a good idea...but I think it's the right thing. We should rescue Selenekit. Powderfrost has been telling me all about the badgers that live around BrightClan and her and the other Clans!" The apprentice's voice was in an agitated whisper.
