*Velvetpaw shuffled her paws nervously, looking down*
Riverpaw: What's wrong? Aren't you gonna go talk to the other cats?
Velvetpaw: What if they don't like me? What if they just tease my like how Spottedpaw does.
Rainpaw: I doubt it. We've earned our place here! *He trailed her off with his tail* Okay then let's go find a place to sit! It's a good thing Spottedpaw didn't come.
Icepaw: (I'll just wait till Tigerclan andjaguarclan arrive so I won't have to force myself to mingle with those hostile flea ba-
Shadepaw: Hey Icepaw! (Icepaw flinched turning to his clanmate quickly) Wanna have a race? TumbleKIT thinks he can beat any Leopardclan cat in a race.
Tumble: That's Tumblepaw to you! *Growled the wide footed apprentice*
Shadepaw: Whatever. So, you coming?
Icepaw: *Shook his head* Nah, I just wanna sit here until the gathering starts.
Shadepaw: Well you're gonna be sitting there for sometime then but *Shrug* Suit yourself!

*Shellstar's tail flickered, her eyes narrowed at Brightstar who's eyes were closed*
Shellstar: We're not here to nap you know. *She growled* That's all you mangy cats do anyway.
Brightstar: *Opened an eye* I know you're unwell Shellstar, so I'm gonna pretend you didn't say anything.
Shellstar: Why you-
*A yowl sounded in the distance. Mintstar, with Streamtail behind her led the Jaguarclan cats into the clearing. Brightstar sat up, and blinked in welcome. Mintstar jumped onto the rock, and dipped her head in response.*

Gingerpaw:wrapping his bushy tail around his body he sat an waited for the meeting to start though his mind was else where, suddenly his thoughts where broken by the presence of leafpaw
Leafpaw:"this is exciting aint it gingerpaw"flops next to the orange marble tom,paws twitching as her eyes shined up at the leaders
Gingerpaw:"it was for my first gathering...but ive been having weird dreams about this place makes unsure if I should go"the tom mumble to the other apprentice "hey at least leopardshine came with you milkstream stayed back..twice now"
Leafpaw:dnt get your fur in a knot gingerpaw a lot is going on with the clan.....hang in there ok
Gingerpaw:sighs but nods turning his attention to the leaders

wave goodbye to a few of my cats in the rp I know some is going to perish but news one will rise in there down fall :3

Well I have some stories idea of my own too
Just be sure to play along *Winks* >:D

XD

Shellstar: *Sniffed* Cliffstar's late again.
Mintstar: No surprise. He's having to cope with the loss of Tulipmoon. She died just before greenleaf from greencough.
Shellstar: How do you know? Did you send spies?
Mintstar: No, I asked. *Turned away to look at the cats settling below*
*Shellstar snorted before sitting up straight. A cough shook the raggedly she-cat. Foxheart leaped onto the rock*
Foxheart: Are you okay? Do you need more Coltsfoot? *She rubbed her back with a paw, Shellstar surprisingly not rejecting her*
Shellstar: I'm fine. I can't show weakness to my clan, nor the rest of them.
Foxheart: Just don't overdo it okay? I don't want that whitecough becoming greencough. *She jumped down from the rock, Greyfur immediately talking to her as she rejoined the group*

Halfclaw: We should just start the stupid gathering already. We're wasting moonlight! *She growled, her tail twitching*
Icepaw: I hope Tigerclan comes soon. (I really want to see Owlpaw again.) *He sighed* (She seems to be the only cat that understands me)
*A yowl sounded in the distance*
Lilyfoot: Tigerclan has arrived! *The medicine cat called*
*Cliffstar boldly strolled past, his eyes narrowed. His clan folloeed behind and immediately took their place amongst the other cats*
Mistystripe: About time *He scoffed* *Icepaw watched Featherstep take his place below the rock* What's he doing there? He's not deputy.
Halfclaw: Well I don't see Ravenwing. *Her eyes glimmered* Let's hear what they have to say.

Hey guys I didn't see that there Welp Leopardclan is back!

*Sabertooth nearby Splitstar but sitting at the bottom he was sitting quite distant from the other deputies looking at Jaguarclan's arrival. His bold face still doesn't fade but his eyes were cold even after that fresh scratch from him and his son's arguement it doesn't bother him*

Feralpaw:*he was still upset at his father but for short time he notices Mintstar was quite curious about relatives in a different clan* I guess every cat is here..

*Cliffstar sat up on the rock, nodding to Mintstar.*
Mintstar: Jaguarclan is thriving with life this greenleaf. We've had two new kits, who're yet to be apprentices. *Icepaw looked around to see a black and white tom proudly looking at Mintstar. She stared back with round eyes before stepping back to let Cliffstar speak.*

Cliffstar: This greenleaf has brought much luxury within Tigerclan camp. Our former deputy Ravenwing has retired to the elders den. Starclan honours his loyalty and promise to the clans. Let him live a care-free life until he joins Starclan.
*Murmurs of surprise and questions sparked from the cats below. Cliffstar waited till they finished so he could continue*
Cliffstar: Our new deputy is Featherstep. *He proudly purred* I hope to see him carry my clan through victory when my time has come. *Cats repeated his name, yowling in approval. However, Cheetahclan cats murmered quietly and unenthusiastically. Cliffstar stepped back to let Splitstar speak*

Halfclaw: The other clans seem to not be mentioning their losses. *She murmered* But we all know that greenleaf has brought some losses as well as good news.
Icepaw: That's pretty dark. Leopardclan has always lost cats no matter the weather. *Halfclaw's tail swiped over his face*
Halfclaw: Be quiet, I'm trying to hear what they are saying *she hissed*

*Windstorm was looking at Jaguarclan when he noticed Nighthawk was there with a clawed face. For some reason he can feel his fur rising worried about something before he looked back up at the leaders* (Does he got to do with Blossomfall not here in this gathering).

*Back at camp: Apprentice den*
Wolfpaw:*was yowling*
Silkpaw:*hisses* Hey! Hush it! You're soo loud with it!
Wolfpaw:*ignoring*Feralpaw and Shadepaw were chosen to go to gathering.It's just unfair!!
Witherpaw:*Sighs* So what? Its their first time not like they've been there before.

Spottedpaw: *Rolled in her den a few times trying to sleep* Ugh, stupid kittypets got to go and not me. *She growled* At least their mentors weren't busy patrolling whilst cats left to go to the gathering. *She moaned*

*Spottedpaw's ear flicked at the sound of Riverstream's patrol returning.*
Spottedpaw: About time. I hope they brought something good to eat. *She strolled out of the den. The clearing seemed empty, but some cats still lingeree around to wait for the cats from the gathering to return*

Splitstar:leopardclan is doin well, prey is a abundance as well with five new kits. During one of the patrols we found a badger nest unable to fight due to old age it had fled and may be still lingering in the area*steps back for the next leader to speak,*

*Blossomfall entered into camp carrying two plump crows in her jaws from hunting with patrol*
Blossomfall:Its not quite easy hunting downhill.
Oakfoot:*carrying squirrel in his jaws* Well hunting there is good place to where the prey sleeps you almost lost your grip catching those.
Blossomfall:*Ears lowered slightly* I hadn't got much sleep after three sunrises.
Oakfoot:Oh

Sorry it took time for me to respond.
I had to walk the dog and it was taking long.

Brightstar: Lionclan has had a bright start to the season. Our fresh kill pile hasn't been so full in moons. We also have 2 new apprentices- Tumblepaw and Pollenpaw! *Clan cats chanted their names until it died down. Brightstar stepped back to let Shellstar speak, who grunted and sat up*

Cheetahclan has been well. A queen and two kits of ours has died from whitecough. Thanks to the twolegs, our rabbits have been eating the rubbish they leave, and it's been infecting our camp. We've found an area where we can hunt without getting poisoned prey. *She shot a challenging glare at Mintstar and Splitstar* We've also been learning to fish, so we'll be using our part of the lake properly.

Shellstar: *Took a pace forward* But as well as finding new ways of hunting. We've had prey stealers come in the dead of night and take our prey. None other than Lionclan. *She snarled, turning to Brightstar. Yowls of protest and dissaproval rose from the clans, but Tigerclan seemed to be quiet.*
Shellstar: Well Brightstar? What've you got to say for yourself and your prey thieving clan?

Feralpaw:*His ear flicked a little sneer* (How's that well)?

*Pebblefoot's eyes narrowed at Shellstar and Brightstar*
Pebblefoot:(This is not expected from Cheetahclan's leader)
Sabertooth:*started to look up at the leaders his reaction did not yet change*

Icepaw: Starclan will be angry if they break the truce *He gasped as thin layers of clouds drifted over their heads*
*Brightstar looked calm, but her tone was icy*
Brightstar: How dare you accuse Lionclan. We haven't even set paw on your land! *She continued her eyes gleaming* Nobody would want your poisoned fresh-kill anyway.
Shellstar: *Growled* You better watch out we don't just invade your camp in exchange for our fresh kill, seeing as you love stealing it! *Another coughing fit surged through the leader, and she slumped down shivering*
Shellstar: Cheetahclan WILL be watching. And we won't hesitate to attack if we find intruders on our land. *Murmurs of approval rose from Cheetahclan cats. Shellstar jumped down from the rock clumsily and stalked out of the gathering, her medicine cat quickly saying farewell then catching up to her sick leader. The gathering broke up, and clans started mingling with each other. All except Cheetahclan, who started leaving early*

Mistystripe: Geesh are all Cheetahclan cats so prickly? *He mewed, nudging Sunlight*
Sunlight: Shellstar is sick, she doesn't know what she's talking about. Once Foxheart cures her Whitecough maybe she'll start talking some sense *Responded the medicine cat*
Icepaw: But what about the stolen prey she talked about?
Halfclaw: It could've been a fox or badger that killed it on their land. *Her eyes narrowed* Or maybe Lionclan did do it.
Sunlight: *Sighed* There's no reasoning with you cats.
Mistystripe: Who's clan do you belong to?! *He mewed with concerned eyes*
Sunlight: Leopardclan, you mousebrain! *She snapped* Medicine cats have no clan rivalry. Please respect my opinion. *She mewed, padding off*

smokeflame:*nips at spottytear ear, getting the tom attention as they fall back from the rest of there clanmates* this could be your chance to talk to splitstar spottytear...we need those kits leopardclan wont mind sparing a few anyways
Spottytear:....ill give it a try..
Smokeflame:think about it spottytear.....talk to him...*dashes ahead as he caught up with the rest of cheetahclan*
Spottytear:*lingering behind he waited for the leopardclan cats to gather up*

*back at camp*
leopardshine:*eyeing her to kits as they chased otterdawn around, concern about beekit and pondkit begin taken she started to pace in front of the nursery entrance*
cloudwhisker:*brushing up against her sister making her stop in her tracks giving leopardshine a comfort lick on the ear* what has gotten you all jitter leopardshine..
Leopardshine:.....nothing....but the badger has been on my mind lately...what if it comes here
Cloudwhisker:as if *chuckles* come on share some prey with me, I do need the walk ive been cage in there for so long I forgot how it feel *padded towards the fresh kill pile waiting for leopardshine to come*

Icepaw: *Shuffled back from Halfclaw and Mistystripe to find Owlpaw* (Where is she?)
*Icepaw wove through the lingering cats. Lionclan was already preparing to leave*
Brightstar: I'm not gonna stay behind tonight, I gotta get back to camp before Shellstar gets some ideas about an exposed camp. *She hurried past, her deputy Scarletwing quickly rounding up their clan*
?: Icepaw? *Icepaw swun his head round to see Owlpaw in the distance, her eyes brightening as their gazes met*
Icepaw: I was looking for you. I can't believe this is the only time we get to talk. *He murmured, occassionally looking over his shoulder to make sure his clan mates weren't watching*
Owlpaw: Well.. It doesn't HAVE to be just gatherings.
Icepaw: *He turned to her, his eyes wide* W-What're you implying?
Owlpaw: You know. *She leaned closer* Meeting up! There's no harm in just talking surely. I mean, it's not really breaking the warrior code.

Icepaw: I... Guess you're right. Okay! Where do you suppose we meet? *He asked, his voice lowering*
Owlpaw: Maybe in your territory near the waterfall? Your territory has more unventured space than mine since you live in the mountains, but it should be no trouble to get there.
Icepaw: Alright! *He purred, her eyes rounded with affection, until she looked up, then quickly shuffled back*
Owlpaw: I... Um. Gotta go find Featherstep. I think he's rounding up the others. *She mewed quickly before darting off*
Icepaw: (Where's she gone off to-) *He stopped, looking at the shadow looming over him. He slowly turned around, flinching back to realize Halfclaw had walked up on him.* (How much of that did she hear?!) *Icepaw's tail fluffed up, but he forced it down*
Halfclaw: *Stared at him for a bit then mewed* Don't stray too far from your clan. We'll be going soon. *She turned around to go off somewhere else, leaving Icepaw to sigh, shuddering*

leopardshine:*gazing at cloudwhisker as the she cat trotted over to her with a squirrel dangling in her maw*the others haven't returned yet from the gathering
Cloudwhisker:your worrying to much leopardshine *starts to eat her share of the squirrel*
Beekit:wait otterdawn we cant keep up like you
Pondkit: surprisingly with his missing leg *slows down her pace as she gasp for air* you go an chase him beekit I'm tired
Elkpaw:told you my dad was fast *seeing the chase from where he was*
Pondkit:*bounces over to Elkpaw pawing his muzzle with her tiny yellow paws* no one ask you Elkpaw , I know Otterdawn is fast I just had to see it to believe it, when I become a warrior I bet I can beat him in a race
Elkpaw:as if..
Pondkit:you know I'm right an the<continues to talk but begins to fad> *looking up as her words drifted away in silence she stare in fright of the looming shadow over Elkpaw as a foul liquid fell from the gaping maw of the old scared face Badger onto Elkpaw forehead, silently as it had appeared before them not once giving a sound of alarm to the unaware cats*
Elkpaw:*his head turned away from pondkit an up at the badger as it rear its fangs forward ready to snatch Elkpaw*
Shorttail:*dropping down from the tree the long legged sevral lock jaws on the badger shoulder clinging on for dear life as it bucks around*
Pondkit:*scatters across the camp shrieking over to the nursery and bolting inside*

Graykit:*he jumped a little at Pondkit's shriek he turned around facing the scared kit* H-hey! Whats wrong Pondkit? Something happened?

Blossomfall:*dropping the preys down in the pile after Oakfoot left just when she's about to wonder off she felt a soft touch turning her head to see her mother. Giving a slight chuckle* You know I know.
Blizzardwind:*smiles raises a brow up* And where do you think you're wondering? It's been a few times now, Windstorm had told me you were taking a 'Short' walk.
Blossomfall:I was taking a short walk-
Blizzardwind:*her voice is little hardened getting suspicious* Does a short walk take that long until next sunrise?
*There was silent between the two for a moment in the empty camp*
Blizzardwind:You can talk to me any problems, ANY of you're problems that is concerning?
Blossomfall:*She looks at her paws but then faces her* Sure we can talk about things. But can do this at Sunhigh at the area above the training grounds?
Blizzardwind:*purrs*Of course, now could you please just sleep in the dens for now, Blossom.
Blossomfall:*sighs* S-sure, ma.

*Blizzardwind watches her daughter pads to the warriors den.She did notice something different about her but cant tell what it is. As Blossomfall was out of sight she went back to the nursrey*
Blizzardwind:*She mumbles* 7 moons after she returned and she still barely holds the conversations to her clanmates.

Pondkit:there a badger!! in camp Elkpaw an shorttail are fighting it*her fur fluff up*
Rosethorn:*listening to the kits conversation she nudges her kit closer to her* Pondkit are you sure you saw a badger
Pondkit:i did !! Beekit is still out there*as she was ready to head back out rosethorn had tug on the kit tail* stay here pondkit an wait till the problem out there is done
*losing her grip on the badger back shorttail was flung off,hitting the ground as Elkpaw slashes at the badger paw trying to keep it at bay before it breach the camp wall*

Elkpaw:how did it mange to sneak here undetected *hisses as it was forcing its way in*
Leopardshine:*stuffing the last of the squirrel in her month hearing Cloudwhisker chatter about the sight of Shorttail struggling to get on her paws surprise her* wheres pondkit at??
Beekit:she ran in the nursery shrieking I dnt know why
Leopardshine:go join her inside beekit *rasied her ears up hearing the battle between Elkpaw and the badger* Now!! *she said sternly before aiding Elkpaw*
Cloudwhisker:come on beekit lets check on sheepkit an echokit

Frosttail: *Darted toward his apprentice* Spottedpaw, come with me.
Spottedpaw: What's going on?
Frosttail: There's a badger trying to break into camp. Elkpaw and Shorttail are fighting it, but they're gonna need help chasing it off.
Spottedpaw: Have all the kits and queens moved to their dens? *She asked as he already raced off*
Frosttail: Yes, now come on let's go!
*Spottedpaw raced beside her mentor until they were fox lengths away from the battle*
Spottedpaw: *Ran behind the badger's legs and began clawing at it's back.*
Frosttail: Try getting on top of it! Then we can claw into it's back! *He leaped onto it's shoulder, digging his claws into it's dark pelt*

Coalpelt: *Parted away from the Jaguarclan elders, shaking his ruffled pelt* Is it time to leave?
Icepaw: Yup, let's go. *He trailed the elder to where the leopardclan cats were bunched up. Jaguarclan were ready to leave too, padding out in a long line. Tigerclan were waiting till both clans had left*
Coalpelt: Hm, gatherings sure are quick. I remembered when clans used to fight over the share of the river. *He gruffly mewed* Those were Leopardclan's prime days... *The senior cat's eyes suddenly darkened* But now our old camp is ruins. You could've seen it, Icepaw, but the other clans got greedy.
Icepaw: Mother used to tell me about Shatteredstar too. How they found Sabertooth whilst fighting off Tigerclan invaders. *He ventured*
Coalpelt: That was a very long time ago. *He ventured, before blinking back to the present* You'd better have to talk to Riverstream about that. He has a clearer memory than mine. *He chuckled as they set off back home*

*Icepaw padded close to Mistystripe, who was talking to Shadowtail as they walked*
Shadowtail: I'm surprised Rainpaw was able to climb that high, his claws seem really short.
Mistystripe: He doesn't need long claws to go far. He just needs to move fast, pulling himself up. Nothing a short clawed cat can't do. *He boasted puffing out his fur* Good luck getting Shadepaw up and down trees. I bet he'll freeze tryna get down.
Shadowtail: Hmm, reminds me of an apprentice who had a phobia of trees for the longest time. *He jeered at Mistystripe narrowing his eyes*
*Mistystripe's fur fluffed up in embarrasment and anger*
Mistystripe: You said you'd never mention it again!
Shadowtail: Then don't go down-talking my apprentice, and I won't say a word. *Shadowtail started padding past him, not letting Mistystripe reply*

*Cross see some of his clanmates dashing to the area where Shorttail and Elkpaw were at. He darted passed Blizzardwind who noticed it aswell and follows*
Cross:How in Starclan did it get that close!?
Blizzardwind:*Catching up with Cross*No clue but lets just get it over with!
*The both leaped into action when others were trying to keep it away from camp*
Cross:*Hisses* Blizzardwind watch out for its claws!!

Sabertooth:*He was checking around making sure every cat is not missed as Leopardclan make their leave.He spotted Feralpaw behind and calss him* Feralpaw!
Feralpaw:*he knows he was calling him but denies to follow behind him instead he went along where most of the apprentices are* (Don't even pity me)

*calls

Milkstream:*walking beside doveflight as they have returned from there hunt but wasn't expecting to see the badger attacking camp*
*seeing the overwhelming of the hostile clan cats the badger charged forward running down on Elkpaw an few of the cats that was on the old brute way as hurtling towards the nursery*
Milkstream:*dropping his prey he darted after the badger his heart beat rapidly against his chest lunging forward he block the badger path, a tiny mew stirred near him as he caught sight of one of his kits still lingering in the nest beside him*

*the badger duck past leopardshine knocking her over as the feral creature eyed the kit instead of milkstream but the smaller warrior thrust his body in the way shielding the kit as the badger lock his jaw around milkstream neck missing the kit*

*Frosttail screeched as he was flung off. He watched the badger lumber it's way toward the nursery panic edging his mew*
Frosttail: No! *He lunged onto the rear of the badger, trying to release it's grip on Milkstream by biting it's tail as hard as he could*

Icepaw: *Veered closer to Velvetpaw, only to realise that her, Shadepaw and Rainpaw were talking* (I'm the only one left out...) *He sighed, looking for his mentor in the crowd of dispersing cats. He caught her at the near front of the lead, her eyes narrowing as he approached*

Gingerpaw:hurry up leafpaw the clan is leaving*he shouted over to leafpaw but she ignored him instead listening to strikepaw as the tom spoke to her* never mind then I see your busy *starts to walk off*
Maplepaw:gingerpaw wanna race back this time or no
Gingerpaw:no thanks why dnt you go ask the other apprentice*as his gaze shifted away from her he slip into what appears to be a paw print, giving it a sniff he snarled slightly* its that badger again he may be close by...to close to home in my opinion....
Maplepaw:i heard Splitstar talking about that badger to Otterdawn said it use to live by the lake when he was a apprentice...but that's all I heard from them the rest they talk out of camp..
Gingerpaw:well its warrior business anyway they didn't want nobody intruding on there conversation...*begins to stalk away leaving maplepaw behind*

*jerking its head from milkstream the badger snap its maw at Frosttail before turning tail away an out the nursery after Elkpaw:*getting back to his paws the apprentice charged after the badger*failing its prime target*

Otterdawn:dnt let that old fox hearted badger go!! he mustn't leave this camp alive

*Frosttail jumped back dodging it's gaping teeth, just before it went for Elkpaw. Frosttail chased after the badger panting, but Spottedpaw was quicker, running past him to join the fight again. Riverstream quickly dashed toward the nursery, making sure if the badger wanted to return it'd have to get past him*

Halfclaw: I saw you talking to her. That... Tigerclan apprentice. *She mewed quietly with eyes like slits* What were you talking about?
Icepaw: *Shrunk away from his mentor with wide eyes* N-Not much. She was just telling me about how difficult it was to climb trees, and stuff.
Halfclaw: I see. Well, just remember to not let any important info slip to the other clans. There would be such dire consequences. *She began following the rest of the cats more slowly* We wouldn't want that now would we?
*Icepaw trailed after her, staying at the back of the Leopardclan cats*

Blizzard:*As the shook her off she land on her back Cross tried to get her but she swiped his paws.Yowling* The kits!
Cross:*He looked to where the badger is trying to enter the nursrey. In a moment he darted towards it* Not...AGAIN!! *He jumps ontop of its head his frontpaws over its snout and head gripping his claws as hard as it can* (I'm not standing around and let another of my kits die!) *Saying this in his thought it brings back of the death Patchpaw and Blackkit*

*As it shook her off
geez grammar errors :T

*Badger sneered at the warriors as they started to climb on him, but then it eyes lighten up clearly hearing Otterdawn voice it spun around facing the three legged warrior bearing a grin to him before using his brute strength to push past the cats once more making an escape*

Leopardshine:*once the badger left she darted over to the nursery but milkstream still body was blocking it, not once she saw him move not even a sound* Milkstream...come on an move.. *shifting her eyes inside the den seeing where rosethorn was who was in far back frozen in place staring at mikstream, looking back at milkstream she nudge his side, still no movement*
Cloudwhisker:...*moving around rosethorn the marble queen stalked over to her brother his head hung low an body curled up as if he was covering something then a cry was heard within milkstream front leg stirring the smaller warrior as he clenches his teeth as the feel of his neck was begin impale* Milkstream can you hear me please..
Milkstream:*lifting his head up sluggishly he exposed his neck slightly as blood ooz down his neck* I c-cant move...it hurts when I do...
Cloudwhisker:*taking a closer look at his neck, the collar that there mother gave him was torn again from the badger teeth that had rip the Dog tooth that was holding the collar In place out an forcing it into milkstream throat when the badger had bit his neck*
Milkstream:*with a light chuckle his eye gazed at his only surviving kit* I..i hav-ent named you y-yet..
Rosethorn:then what will you name her*tears drip from the she cat muzzle as she sat beside her dying mate*
Milkstream:...silentkit.....silent as the wind that blew the past the hungry eyes of the beast....and with the hawk that killed striking paw.....I love you rosethorn an our kit..*sitting up to face rosethorn causing the dog tooth fully dig its way in milkstream throat, slowly his head drifted to the side letting it hang there an motionless*

You weren't kidding when you said cats are gonna die :'oc Poor Milkstream

*Frosttail ran after the badger as it fled, hissing and spitting but Spottedpaw managed to call him before he left camp*
Spottedpaw: Frosttail! *He stopped, turning around* It's Milkstream... He's...
*Frosttail slowly padded toward where cats gathered around his body. Riverstream hung his head low, whilst Spottedpaw wrapped her tail around her paws. Frosttail stood a fox length away from Milkstream's body*
Frosttail: I'm sorry I couldn't help you. You were still so young. *He sadly dipped his head* May starclan light your path Milkstream.

*As the cats neared their familiar territory, a sharp tang of blood hit the air, smothered in the reek of badger. Tornheart instinctively lowered his haunches as they padded on*
Tornheart: *Mewed to his brother* Something's not right here...
Shadowtail: *Sniffed the air* We have to be alert. The badger must be nearby again.
Velvetpaw: *Overheard them speaking* I-I thought it left our territory!
Tornheart: Clearly, it's back.

Cloudwhisker:*settling beside milkstream she look over to leopardshine pulling her closer to her an milkstream body an rest her head on his*..
Leopardshine:..im sorry milkstream....but why did you rush in like a fool..

Aww no Milkstream D:
Blizzardwind:*her ears flattens and her eyes were sadness as she enters the nursery* He is with Amberpelt now...may Starclan guide his way into the stars.. (Say hi to Amberpelt for me)
*Graykit and Whitekit looked up to their mother then back at Silentkit*
Graykit:*he smiles eventhough he's sad* We'll....we'll make sure Silentkit has lots of friends! Friends to p-play with!

*Halfclaw curled her lip at the growing stench of blood. As the cats neared their clan, they noticed the half destroyed, ragged entrance*
Tornheart: *Eyes widened* The kits! *He darted away, the rest of the cats slowly approaching before they noticed there were csts huddled around something*
Shadowtail: What in starclan happened when we were gone?! *His face changed to a horrified expression when he saw Milkstream's body lying in the clearing, both his sister's and more warriors close by his side*

*Tornheart emerged from the nursery with a half relieved, half saddened face*
Tornheart: We should've known it would come back! *He growled, tail lashing* How long until it gets it's paws on one of our kits? We need to find and chase it out for good!
Riverstream: Not now, Tornheart. That can wait. Right now these cats just need to recover. *Sunlight was already padding into her den to help out.*
Tornheart: But we need to avenge Milkstream's death!
Frosttail: We will. *He mewed quietly, unaware of the rest of the clan wearily entering camp*

Blossomfall:*She watches as the cats slowly go back to their dens but those who were close Milkstream stayed a little longer.She didn't intend to join in* It's not my business to join in the vigil no more.. *She turns back into the den and tries to sleep in her nest*

I'm sorry milkstream had to go out like he will be miss in the rp but he lives on in my drawings

Splitstar:*having to come into camp last seeing the crowd of cats that had form, then the stench of badger filled his nose, otterdawn had stepped away as splitstar approach them showing him milkstream,the black an white Tom couldn't move as if his paws where heavy stuck to the ground*..
Otterdawn:we where surprise attack it target the nursery none of the kits are hurt... milkstream block it from going in and gave his life for there's *his eyes narrowed at the ground* it didn't even kill him with its own fangs...im sorry Splitstar...
Splitstar:...yall did what you can...and he did what he could do *stalks over to milkstream body to morn with the rest of his family, out of the Corner of his eye he saw the rest of the apprentice enter finally Gingerpaw begin one of them linger in the back confused an lost filled with grief he didn't want to join instead he turned and left camp*
Leafpaw:Gingerpaw wait!!
Strikepaw:*slight smirk as he watch the ginger apprentice left camp though he felt burning eyes from his sister who glared at him an left to the apprentice den*

rip He was one of my favourites :'0

Shadowtail: *Approached Milkstream's body and sat in silence for a bit*
Shadepaw: *Nudged his mentor from behind* Are you gonna sleep now? I wanna go on the dawn patrol later but you'll need to be up.
Shadowtail: Sure, I'll ask about it. *Shadowtail looked at his old mentor, who's eyes were shut and his fur looked frail.*
Shadowtail: You look tired Frosttail. Why don't you get some rest.
Frosttail: *Opened his eyes not taking them off the dead cats body* I-I can stay awake for a little longer.
*Shadowtail pressed his muzzle into his shoulder*
Shadowtail: You look exhausted. Why don't you sit at Milkstream's vigil tomorrow before he's buried.
Frosttail: *Blinked slowly, pausing. At last he got up and started licking his shoulder* Alright. *He wearily padded into the warriors den.*
*Icepaw watched through awake eyes, slightly curious to what'd happened. He shrugged and joined the other apprentices to the den, whilst the senior warriors sat in vigil*

Spottedpaw: *Tail batted the earth in annoyance as the new scratch on her shoulder kept her awake. She fought the urge to take off the cobwebs and to nip at the wound, by cleaning her fur*
Shadepaw: I wish I was there to fight the badger! *He started crouching as though Velvetpaw's tail were a piece of prey*
Shadepaw: I would've clawed it's eyes out, and done this, and that! *He mewed as he batted at the sleeping apprentice's tail. Velvetpaw's tail swatted him over the nose before retracting close to her body*
Spottedpaw: I wish I didn't fight that battle. *She mewed grimly* I was so scared. There weren't many cats here, and I thought we were done for! We were lucky that we had enough cats left to make the badger rethink it's options.
Icepaw: What if it comes back?
Spottedpaw: Don't say that! *She snapped* Do you WANT it to happen?
Icepaw: N-No. But, like, what if? *He added thoughtfully*

Elkpaw:where did Gingerpaw go to I saw him enter
Leafpaw:..he saw Milkstream....Mikstream was the only father figure to him since falconblood left....I cant blame him for what he feels*stares out of the apprentice den*..

Splitstar:*taking one more look at milkstream removing the torn collar from around his neck as it remind him of Amberpelt*...Otterdawn can you take me to the den where it last stayed at then I want you to come back here and dnt follow if you know whats good for you
Otterdawn:no let me come Milkstream was kin to me to...I can fight
Splitstar:im not going to lose another cat*he growled at the tan tom* Otterdawn its best you stay here...I can handle it alone.. besides gingerpaw is out there the fool could get himself hurt*he said as left camp looking for gingerpaw*

Maplepaw:an if that badger comes back we'll be ready for it*she add as she approach her nest hearing icepaw an spottedpaw talking*
Elkpaw:if it does its an old badger, its bite is weak for it is missing teeth maybe its fangs to...yet it didn't really kill milkstream his collar did
Otterdawn:very observant Elkpaw..*as he peered inside the apprentice den holding a mouse in his maw*..and that's why its best not to take that badger on by yourself nor dnt let it get to close to your neck...even seen that badger when I was younger

*Icepaw looked at Elkpaw with wide eyes. Shadepaw started purring with amusement*
Shadepaw: Wow, so yiu got beat by an old badger then? Pffthahaha-
Icepaw: This is no laughing matter Shadepaw. This badger might be experienced with cats if it managed to outlive a bunch of warriors and apprentices. Normally we have the upper hand and it'd be scared away, but this one came back.
Spottedpaw: *Flicked her ear in annoyance* Enough badger talk and more sleep. I'm trying to get some shut eye! *Shadepaw glanced across the den at the other sleeping apprentices*
Shadepaw: Well, they don't seem bothered with us talking. *Spottedpaw stretched over her den to come face to face with her brother*
Spottedpaw: Well I am! *Her tail slapped him over the nose before she huffed onto her nest like a big pile of feathers*
Icepaw: *Whispered out of earshot* What's her problem? She scared of badgers or something?
Shadepaw: Well we may as well rest now. Shadowtail said I'll be on the dawn patrol, I hope.

*You
*nest

Shadepaw: When the dawn patrol leaves we might find the badger again. *He settled down, looking at Icepaw with an open eye* I'm assuming Halfclaw won't take easy to you sleeping in.
Icepaw: *Murmured as he tucked in his paws and closed his eyes* She doesn't care as long as I do my best each day. *His consciousness drifted away from him as he spiralled into a deep sleep.*

Shadowtail: *Finally got up and made his way to the warriors den. Frosttail was sleeping peacefully, so he swerved away trying not to disturb him. Halfclaw stood by the entrance to the den whilst Riverstream was sat up and washing himself*
Riverstream: You're sleeping early?
Shadowtail: My apprentice wants to go on the dawn patrolm, so I gotta get a bit of sleep at least. *Riverstream nodded then made his way out of the den. His eyes rested on Blossomfall, who's eyes were closed. Shadowtail settled down close to her nest and wrapped his tail over his nose*

Wolfpaw:*He shuffled his paws sudden of his fur got bristle a little* Its probably that same badger back when we were still in the nursery. Pebblefoot didn't do much but just scare it off the fact it was injured at that time. But still..
Feralpaw:*he nudges his friend giving him a smile* Hey if we meet that big old fleabag again were sure we can take it down!
Wolfpaw:If we could though.

Pebblefoot:*She drifted to sleep next to her mate thinking about his conditions and hard work* (He needs to take a break on patrols. He's more exhausted each day...)

*While somewhere near Leopardclan's old camp.Two shadows were lingering out around its camp they walked into a small clearing a burial sight*
???:*his folded ears twitched looking at his partner* Hey Ash its over here *In the moonlight the other tom grassy green eyes glowed*
Ash:*he followed him as they stood infront of someones grave he stepped forward somehow his eyes were saddened* Hey mother back here again.Me and Scatter are the only ones in this land. I know I should've went with Chain but its just I couldn't leave you.*he smiles slightly* I'll be fine I just had this feeling I wanted to do something..
*As the moon shone over the territory it revealed the identity of the two toms. Scatter the son of Hex's sister and Ash from his fur was a similar resembelance of his father Dusk*

Witherpaw:*Thinking about the missing apprentice looking at Leafpaw* Just hope Gingerpaw doesn't do anything reckless.
Skypaw:*hearing the conversation going on* I figure he would be sad about it Milkstream was kin to him and yes he does see him as a father figure. Falconblood had to leave for a reason even though he knows it would hurt Gingerpaw.
Feralpaw:*nods* The rest of us need to get some rest now its been a long night.
*Feralpaw headed back into his nest as Wolfpaw fell asleep before him*

Otterdawn:oh strikepaw after training I'm taking you on the dusk patrol so get plenty of rest *he mewed to the apprentice as he limps away towards the warrior den, snowyhail greeted him with a purr before dozing off to sleep*
Leafpaw:he's right *yawns as she settled down in her nest ,Elkpaw joining beside her*

Pondkit:*ducking an dodging beekit as the to bounce around Leopardshine tail*
Leopardshine:you two are some hyper kits I've ever saw and they had to be mine
Cloudwhisker:*chuckles in amusement* they are just like us when we where kits before you an milkstream got along, you to where always bumping heads
Leopardshine:yea..now its us..anyway pondkit, beekit its time to settle down an sleep
Beekit:but mama where three an half moons old I'm not tired!!*her rounded amber eyes shined at leopardshine*
Leoaprdshine:those pretty eyes wont stop me*grabs pondkit scruff as she nudges beekit to the nest* maybe when you wake up sagestripe may have a story for yall if you can behave*slowly they fell asleep*
Cloudwhsiker:so quickly there asleep, just like bearfang
Leopardshine:..yea..just like bearfang....if they where*she mumble to herself*

Splitstar:*following along gingerpaw trail leading to the training grounds he saw his grandson trotting his way, stepping in front of him* its rather late begin out with the badger around,
Gingerpaw:i know I know you told me already back at the waterfall I didn't forget
Splitstar"wait I said what?..never mind just go *he scorned gingerpaw watching the apprentice dash away to camp*...by the waterfall.....that's where my answer is

Windstorm:*his paws shiver having another nightmare it was in the dark forest face to face with Dusk*Brother I thought you would be in Starclan?
Dusk:*Glares at him but somehow he's calm* After that battle I wasn't accepted by Starclan so I ended here.*He lifted a paw and unsheaths his claws*I killed many cats in cold blood I deserve myself to be here.
Windstorm:Sheath your claws brother as we still have the same blood.
Dusk:*faintly chuckles and does what he says. He suddenly remembers something* I'm still the runt of the litter am I?
Windstorm:...! Wait thats not-
Dusk:*Grins* I'm just messing with you. I clearly referring to Patchpaw and Blackkit. *he looks up and back at Windstorm* We had our apologies.He has an annoying pride but he likes being that way.I thought the opposite. He forgave me for pressuring to hate him.
Windstorm:You cant visit them, you know that right?
Dusk:Of course.*He looks at the sky again* Its turning Dawn now, which means you take your leave.

Windstorm:You're still our brother *he smiles* ...always.
*Dusk smiles faintly as Windstorm disapeared waking up from his dream*

sorry i've taken some time ^^'

Shadowtail: *Woke up in a misty field. He saw nothing but mist around him.* Hello?... *He padded around, sniffing the air. Nothing but fog.* Anybody here?... Is this.. Is this the dark forest? *He sat down and looked at the sky* It's not as clustered as I remembered *He chuckled nervously*
*A growl sounded in the air. Through the fog, Shadowtail could see the muscular shadow in the distance. As it lurked forward he, could hear it's low growl. It loomed over him.*
Shadowtail: *Instinctively backed away*
*Suddenly, the tiger darted over him, crashing into something that shreiked from behind. Shadowtail whipped around to see the tiger in a tussle with the cheetah. It bit it's neck, flinging it into the mist. The tiger sighed, it's deep amber eyes burning into Shadowtail's.*
???: 'The tiger will be your ally. Do not be decieved by what you can't see. *It's low rumble echoed in his mind. The tiger dipped his head, and stalked off until it was a mere fade*

*With a start, Shadowtail awoke. He could still smell the bland unknowingness of the mist, fading. He looked at the cats around him, then outside*
Shadowtail: *Yawned and tucked in his head again, closing his eyes* (Huh... Weird dream) *As much as he tried to sleep, the words softly repeated in his mind, like a chime of a blackbird. Shadowtail reluctantly sat up and started washing himself* (Why, and how could I remember the dream...) *He paused mid lick* (Unless it was an omen...)

Witherpaw:*He woke up after his wonders in the dark forest. yawning and started to stretch before he sat outside seeing some mist slowly settling in the camp. His dim eye glowed* Huh? What's this? Is it dawn right now?

*Witherpaw padded into the foggy clearing in camp then notices it is dawn looking up in the sky*

Blossomfall:*yawns starting to stretch her paws out*
