((Dusk. Greenleaf.))

 

Kitestar bounded up onto the Highrock and called a clan meeting. Cats spilled into the centre of the camp, hurrying from their dens to gather around their leader. Her tail swayed nervously from side to side, as she awaited the arrival of the last couple of senior warriors. It had been a while since she had had to call a meeting.

Once everyone had gathered in chattering groups, Kitestar silenced them as she began her announcement. "Thunderclan..." she began. "The dawn patrol have informed that Shadowclan have been scented in our territory." Anxious mumbles rippled through the crowd. Kitestar faltered slightly, then glanced at her newly appointed deputy and picked up where she had left off. "You all must be more alert when training and patrolling, and for safety reasons you shall all travel in groups of at least five. If you spy a Shadowclan party on Thunderclan territory... well, you know what to do," she smiled at her clan and they nodded, vaguely amused. "Chase them out! And if they attack, fight back as best you can and be very careful. Report it to me afterwards." Kitestar dismissed the clan with a flick of her tail.

 

Featherfur returned to the Windclan camp victorious, proudly carrying a fat rabbit and a mouse. He dropped them onto the fresh-kill pile, then turned to his young apprentice as she delivered yet more food to the elders. Today had been a good day for hunting.

 

Moontail slept soundly in her den, then was interrupted by the pitiful mewing of the injured kit she had been taking care of. She sighed, got to her paws, and padded over to the young cat. He gazed up at her, then glance down at the scratch on his leg. Moontail rolled her eyes. "It's not that bad," she meowed scornfully. The wound had almost healed now, but as she ordered the kit to get to his feet he stumbled and limped. "Come on." Moontail said, and she helped the young tom make his way back to the nursery. His mother rushed to the entrance and took him inside the den, respectfully nodding her thanks to the Riverclan medicine cat.

Slumberfur yawned and peacefully walked into hearing distance from his leader who had called clan to meeting, he had just waken up from nap before the call. He listened precisely what Kitestar had to say in case of new orders and after dismiss started to walk around the camp, he has been hunting with few apprentices earlier and was now guarding the camp.

 

He didn't like the idea about traveling in groups of five or more because he didn't enjoy company of other warriors but orders were orders and he would never break them as long as it was under his own control.

@@The Cerberus @@Pripyat Pony Kitestar leaped down from the highrock and saw Slumberfur still roaming the camp. She looked over to her deputy, Poppyfur, and then approached the tom. "Slumberfur," she began. "Sparrowwing's kits are now almost six moons old. I've decided that I would like you, Rosepatch and Greynose to take them on as apprentices." She offered carefully. She knew Slumberfur was loyal to Thunderclan entirely, and was dedicated to his warrior duties, but she wondered how he, considering his slightly drowsy nature, would handle taking on an apprentice. "When you go back to the Warriors' den, tell the others," she added. She considered his kittypet past, then shook her head. 'That wouldn't possibly make a difference,' she thought.

He nodded  "And I will inform Rosepatch and Greynose too" He was glad to get his own apprentice, he enjoyed practicing with apprentices now and then and he had wanted own apprentice since he had become a warrior... even that it meant less naps.

She lowered her gaze to the ground and thought hard about each kit and their strong and weak points. She nodded to herself and then dismissed Slumberfur. She went to pick up a plump vole from the prey pile, then walked to the outside of her den and began eating. The last patrol of the day was just heading out.

Featherfur roamed the Windclan camp idly, swaying his tail back and forth. He was developing a slight bellyache and decided to go and see Redear, the Windclan medicine cat, before it got any worse. He walked to the medicine cat's den and called to him.

 

When he poked his nose into the den, a permanently-bristled, rust-colored fur laid a few mouse-tail-lengths inside. The stillness of Redear's body broken only by the slow rising and falling of her chest...

 

She snorted once, waking up, and turning to look at Featherfur with slit pupils. Almost immediately, a warning growl was heard from the depths of her throat.

 

She spoke with venom dripping off her words.

 

"What, what was so important you had to interrupt my nap?!" She hissed, looking over Featherfur's body with a keen eye, scouting for injury...

She rose, her fur still bristled. "Is that it?" She seethed, stalking towards her stores. One could notice that her claws unsheathed, when he growled back at her...

 

"A bellyache? Is that really why you interrupted my nap? Couldn't you just tough it out?" 

 

She was shifting through her berries, hooking a claw in a small pile of mallow leaves, and tossing it his way. "Eat those. And don't bother me again unless you are on Starclan's doorstep, understood?" 

 

Redear, the eldest cat of Windclan, Medicine Cat since as long as anyone can remember, always had a nasty attitude towards others. Exactly why, was unknown--but it was a widely known fact that one was not to trifle with her. She spent most of her time sharpening her claws, after all...

He ate the mallow leaves reluctantly, then got up and selected a chaffinch from the prey pile.

@@Wolves, Poppyfur had listened intently to Kitestar's talk, then after dismissal, had gone on a patrol around the camp. All was as it should be. Poppyfur was new in her job as Kitestar's deputy, the previous deputy Greytail having been killed in a battle and who had been Poppyfur's mentor. The red cat always tried to do her job perfectly, despite feeling a bit shy still around the Thunderclan leader. She took a rabbit kitten from the pile of fresh kill before beginning her stint as a sentry; no cat would come near the Thunderclan territory without her giving the alarm.

Meanwhile, Rye smirked to himself as he watched the Thunderclan patrol pass by the edge of the forest. He had been observing these cats for quite some time now--and he was confident that he had their pattern memorized. If all was well, then he should be able to...

 

...Do as he pleased, at least for the next thirty minutes or so.

 

Strolling into the thick forest, he relished the earthy scent in the air, padding along the ground...What should he do? Hunt? No, he had a vole on the way here...Oh well, a cat-nap would be a sufficient way to burn time. 

 

He just liked knowing that there was no-one to stop him, as he curled on a rock, beginning to snooze...

Kitestar finally settled down to sleep, after worrying slightly about the Shadowclan scent in Thunderclan territory.

"May all cats old enough to catch their own prey please gather here, beneath the highrock, for a clan meeting!" she called, and awaited the arrival of her clanmates. Three older kits excitedly bounded forward - they knew this was the day they received their apprentice names and were assigned mentors. One was a small, dark tabby tom named Falconkit; the next was a larger, grey she-cat called Ashkit; and the last was an enthusiastic dark grey tom named Darkkit.

 

@@P-Jay Featherfur woke up with a start. He could not remember what he had been dreaming about, but whatever it was has frightened him - and he was not scared of much... He shook his fur and groomed himself for a short while, wincing as his belly still ached. 'I hope I don't have to see Redear again...' he thought. 'Or I at least hope she is in a better mood.' He chuckled slightly and then poked his head out of the den to be greeted by the bright dawn sunlight. It warned his fur as other Warriors paced the camp; Featherfur spotted the deputy arranging the first patrol of the day. He considered requesting to join them, but his stomach pains convinced him otherwise. He sighed and walked around the camp.

Sluberfur were already close at the highrock so he just sat down and turned his eyes toward the rock to listen the announcement. He saw three kits coming into meeting too and figured they were the new apprentices. "Soon meant like really soon." He thought himself about getting know that he was getting apprentice just night before.

 

He remembered how he had arrived to Thunderclan's territory and after little harsh welcoming he had finally became apprentice in the clan and soon enough a warrior. Of course it wasn't same to him as for these kit's who have been born in Thunderclan but he was sure they were at least as excited as he was then.

@@Wolves, Poppyfur politely greeted her leader, before joining the meeting. She felt that she would like an apprentice to mentor, but wondered if Kitestar would assign her one.

Kitestar smiled and said, "Ashkit... you have reached the age of six moons, and are ready to become an apprentice. From this day forth, until you earn your warrior name, you shall be known as Ashpaw!" Ashpaw smiled shyly, then she was assigned her new mentor: Rosepatch. The two touched noses and then stepped aside, allowing for Falconkit to step up and be given his new name. Greynose was his apprentice. This left Darkkit.

"Darkkit. Until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Darkpaw!" Kitestar said. She glanced expectantly at Slumberfur, whom she hoped she had selected the right apprentice for. The enthusiastic young cat would keep him on his paws, she thought, but she knew Slumberfur would train him well and rewardingly.

 

Twigblaze blinked open her bright eyes and scanned the Warriors' den. Everyone was awake already, it would seem. She padded out into the clearing, stretching and breathing in the scents if the forest - these smells, however, were tinged with sickness, as the lack of herbs for the medicine cat was taking its toll on Shadowclan.

Twigblaze nodded her head to her leader, Midnightstar, as she trotted over to join the dawn patrol. "Good morning!" she called to Midnightstar.

Kitestar walked over to Poppyfur and said, "I'm sorry I did not give you an apprentice this time..." She thought for a while. "Next time, certainly. Stripepelt's kits are growing up fast." She lowered her gaze to the cold rock she stood upon.

 

Twigblaze flicked her tail. "I think we are making some progress, yes," she replied. "Hopefully, today's patrols will be able to gather more herbs from Thunderclan territory." Twigblaze wondered how the rival clan would respond to Shadowclan taking herbs from their territory - hopefully, in a time like this, they would be understanding.
