If only he had been there earlier, if only he had heard her sooner....Oh, what a terrible brother he was! Three little kits...three little bundles of joy lay around Shorepebble's belly, but the former deputy was unresponsive, and her belly was lightly painted with her blood. Foggysky sat a bit aways, blind blue eyes clouded with grief, while Hiddenshade wailed Shorepebble's name. And Swampstar...he stared in shock, grief, pain, hundreds of emotions.Si lverstar 19:59, October 12, 2016 (UTC)

Whitetoe hanged around the nursery. She sensed something was very wrong. Was Shorepebble okay? that kits? Although she wished to know, she didn't poke her head in. If something had happened, she'd find out soon enough.

Emberkit suddenly let out a loving purr and rubbed his face all over Nightshade's chest, while Nightshade was frozen stiff, staring down at the catling in fright. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 20:17, October 12, 2016 (UTC)

Palefang heard the wail of Hiddenshade, she felt the sorrow in the air. Thick as peanut butter. She turned away from the nursery and the cats crowded outside it. — Minkclaw 01:25, October 13, 2016 (UTC)

"Sh...Shorepebble?" Swampstar spoke quietly, slowly creeping forward, pawsteps inaudible as he moved. The very nursery seeemd to darken in sadness, as he stared at the unmoving figure of his sister. "...Please..." Not a sound. Hiddenshade let out a mournful cry once more before flopping down on the ground at Shorepebble's side. Foggysky closed her blind eyes in sorrow.

"....Hiddenshade, go...please get outside, g-get some fresh air...I need to speak with Swampstar." The medicine cat spoke quietly, with her voice heavy with grief. Slowly, Hiddenshade exited the den, head bowed.Si lverstar 01:36, October 13, 2016 (UTC)

Palefang turned when Hiddenshade came outside. He needed someone. "Hidden.." The rest if his name went off in silence. — Minkclaw 01:41, October 13, 2016 (UTC)

"Dead...gone...it's all my fault...." His eyes remained closed and head bowed in sorrow, shoulder slumped as he slowly moved along.Si lverstar 01:43, October 13, 2016 (UTC)

Palefang felt her shoulders slump defeated. Little did she know she too would have a nig surprise come a few weeks. The brown mink eyed Hiddenshade. "Hey," she murmured pressing her nose into his shoulders to try to calm him. — Minkclaw 01:54, October 13, 2016 (UTC)

Hiddenshade opened his eyes, allowing his dark gaze to burn into the soil before his paws. "...I should've been there, I should've been a father, and I should've told Swampstar about us." his voice was tense, mixed with rage for his own actions, and grief from the death of his mate.

Foggysky's blind eyes somehow managed to find Swampstar, resting on the young leader. A creepy shiver ran down the leader's spine as the blind cat gazed at him with icy yet knowing eyes...it was almost as if she was from StarClan herself, just as ominous as them. "...We need to talk, Swampstar, and right now, before it's too late."Si lverstar 01:57, October 13, 2016 (UTC)

Palefang curled her tail around one of her paws. "I'll grab you some moss water." She said before grabbing it. After doing so and going back to the warrior Palefang lightly pushed the ball to him. "Here," she murmured. The night with that RockClan warrior still on her mind, pushing it to the deepest parts she paid more attention to Hiddenshade. — Minkclaw 02:14, October 13, 2016 (UTC)

"...I'm not thirsty, or hungry." Hiddenshade replied firmly, eyes remaining on the earth. All he wanted was Shorepebble...finally, when they were officially mates, having kits...and then StarClan took her.

Foggysky shifted, aware that Swampstar knew what she was getting at. "The kits will be able to survive off of water for now...we'll have to wait until the moon is full."Si lverstar 02:17, October 13, 2016 (UTC)

Palefang flinched slightly. "Of course. I'll leave you be then." She muttered unsure whether to stay and comfort him or not.

The brown mink turned and felt a slight shift in her stomach. What in- the she-cat looked down at her stomach. It couldn't be. She thought silently, fear deep in her stomach. — Minkclaw 02:22, October 13, 2016 (UTC)

Swampstar nodded, eyes dull as he did this. "...Yes. Thank you, Foggysky." With that, the leader got up and left to mourn privately. Meanwhile, Foggysky cleaned things up before calling Hiddenshade back inside.

"...I'll be specially prepping her body. You've two toms and a lovely little molly who looks just like....just like her mother." The Medicine Cat bowed her head. "...They'll need names, Hiddenshade...and, my good mentor..." Her foggy eyes miraculously gained into her former mentor's. "...Be strong, for them."Si lverstar 02:28, October 13, 2016 (UTC)

Palefang slipped out of camp, her pelt squeezing past the thorns and whatnots. The queen and young warrior limped slightly past Meadowbee and past her brother who gave her a funny look. — Minkclaw 02:33, October 13, 2016 (UTC)

(might do a little timeskip in a bit here) Hiddenshade nodded slowly, sitting down before his three kits, who mewled out as if in agony, longing for the warmth of what had been their mother. "...Names..."Si lverstar 02:35, October 13, 2016 (UTC)

Palefang yawned as she exited the camp. The brown mink molly sighed as she slowly made her way through the territory. (big reveal coming up on Pale's baby daddy) — Minkclaw 02:46, October 13, 2016 (UTC)

He couldn't help but to let his gaze drift over to the little silver tabby kitten, a mini copy of her mother, and cringe. "...Coastkit." Hiddenshade knew her name immediately. Then, he moved to his sons. "Cypresskit, and Raptorkit."Si lverstar 02:48, October 13, 2016 (UTC)

Whitetoe had heard about Shorepebble's death and was sadden. She would comfort Swampstar later; he needed peace for now. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 03:03, October 13, 2016 (UTC)

Willowspirit, hearing about the death of Shorepebble, went out of camp to get a break. The gray tabby wandered through StormClan's marsy grounds... and she saw Bouldersnow talking to Birdsoar about something. Shrugging, the tabby walked on. ---- The conversation between the two cats was getting serious. "I... kinda... like you???" Bouldersnow admitted, shuffling his paws. "I... kinda want you to be my mate, but... yeah..." The tom looked away awkwardly... he was sure that he was going to be rejected by Birdsoar. --look me in the eye 06:18, October 13, 2016 (UTC)

Hiddenshade lay around his newborn kits, offering them his love and warmth.Si lverstar 16:32, October 13, 2016 (UTC)

To Bouldersnow's surprise, Birdsoar broke into a purr. "Oh, Bouldersnow..." the she-cat whiskpered. "Calm down. I'd be happy to be your... mate. I love you, Bouldersnow." ---- Willowspirit, too far away to hear the two cats' conversations, sat down and groomed her tabby pelt. --look me in the eye 03:26, October 14, 2016 (UTC)

(Alright, time-skip time)

Almost a moon later...

"Wake up, wake up daddy!" An excited squeal sounded into Hiddenshade's ear, and with a grown, the warrior opened an eye. The eager face of Raptorkit greeted him, the little tomkitten standing on his father. "Daddy's awake, he's awake, Cypresskit!" Coastkit bounced and cried happily to her smoke brother, who immediately popped up. Cypresskit's blue eyes glowed with energy.

"Yes! Hurry daddy, get up! You promised to show us around camp today!" Cypresskit mewled, whiskers quivering with enthusiasm. With a small grin, Hiddenshade rolled over, Raptorkit giggling as he slid off his father. "Alright, alright...I keep my promises."Si lverstar 17:06, October 15, 2016 (UTC)

A black smoke she-kit popped ger head over a small branch that stuck out of the nursery wall. "Fogkit!" Her shrill cry echoing very loudly. The three moon old apprentice was looking for her brothers. Fogkit and Blossomkit, whom seemed to be hiding. The two-toned smoke she-cat flicked her ears towards Cypresskit and his family. Where were her brothers? — Minkclaw 17:24, October 15, 2016 (UTC)

"Hurry daddy, our we'll be apprentices before we even get outside!" Raptorkit chirped, tugging on the bulky warrior's tail. Hiddenshade glanced back at his son, eyes flashing in amusement and affection. If only Shorepebble could be there to share this moment with him... "I'm moving, don't get your tail in a knot," the warrior murmured, twitching his whiskers in amusement as Coastkit clung to her father's side. Cypresskit trotted after his family as they exited the nursery.Si lverstar 17:27, October 15, 2016 (UTC)

Silverkit eyed them for a minute before continuing to search for her two brothers. She was sure Fogkit was near. She narrowed her golden eyes intently before racing forward to a small hole in the nursery. Fogkit snickered as Silverkit stomped towards him. Darn! the small tom darted put before finding another hole and dashing into it.

Palefang watched Hiddenshade. She was due any day now and would hopefully able to sleep finally. — Minkclaw 17:43, October 15, 2016 (UTC)

(I believe Darkfrost's kits would be apps at this time) Emberpaw licked his paws, cleaning dust from battle training with his mentor, Swiftfeather. Meanwhile, Meadowbee lie out in the sun outside the warriors den. Her first moon with the Clan was going very well. Her and Darkfrost seemed to have mended their relationship, she had become close to her sisters kits, she worked hard everyday.... She couldn't ask for anything else. Her life was perfect in her opinion. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 19:13, October 15, 2016 (UTC)

Bouldersnow and Birdsoar shared tongues in camp. The Clan knew that they'd been mates for about a moon now, and both cats couldn't have been happier. Meanwhile, Willowspirit looked at her two friends. She was happy for them, yes... but in truth, she wanted a mate as well. The gray tabby coughed softly. Maybe one day. --look me in the eye 21:36, October 15, 2016 (UTC)

Palefang sat under a small bush that cast shade on a third of the camp. The brown mink yawned watching Hiddenshade still.

Silverkit let out a frustrated shriek. "Cheater!" She exclaimed. The black smoke kit let out another frustrated shriek before stomping off. She stomped past Hiddenshade and his kits then last Palefang. Before long she reaches the medicine den. "Um..Foggysky? Do you need any help?" She asked. — Minkclaw 23:05, October 15, 2016 (UTC)

Outside of camp, Shadepaw wrestled with Dusktiger, her new mentor. She struggled against the warrior, and before long, he easily pinned her down.

Meanwhile, Hiddenshade took his three little kittens out of the nursery, Cypresskit giggling as he clung to his father's front legs. Coastkit clung to her father's back, while Raptorkit squealed in joy as he lay across his sire's head. "Okay you three, if you're going to explore camp, you probably shouldn't ride on me," the warrior grunted before his kits slipped off. "Okay, daddy!" Coastkit spoke cheerfully, walking with a little hop in her step.

"No, nor should kits be in the Medicine Cat den." The blind cat spoke sternly, twitching her ears. "So scoot along. I don't want my herbs eaten, or having you die on my...er, watch."Si lverstar 23:10, October 15, 2016 (UTC)

Silverkit pouted. "But Fogsky! I'm almost old enough to be an apprentice. I have no interest in fighting. My interests are more along the herbs you have." She argued. "Why would I eat them?" — Minkclaw 23:12, October 15, 2016 (UTC)

"Out." Foggysky was in no mood to argue, rather, she lashed her tail in annoyance. Her blindness was starting to get to her...it was driving her up the wall. Plus, the stress of Shorepebble's death was really affecting her.

Curiously, Coastkit then glanced up at her father. "Daddy? Why do Dusktiger's paws always smell so stinky?" She asked, while Cypresskit got distracted and sat on Raptorkit's head, dying of laughter.Si lverstar 23:15, October 15, 2016 (UTC)

Silverkit turned and left the den pouting. She had an ache to be a medicine cat, but she knew Foggysky wouldn't have it. The smoke she-cat lifted her blue gaze to see Blossomkit and Fogkit laughing at something. She twitched her silver whiskers before making her way to the exit and sitting by it.

Fogkit lifted his green gaze to see Silverkit leaving the den. The black smoke and white tabby kitten bumping Blossomkit's shoulder. "Maybe we should all go out of camp," he suggested.

"You know how much trouble we'd be in? Let's do it." — Minkclaw 23:19, October 15, 2016 (UTC)

Hiddenshade cast his daughter a puzzled glance, but Raptorkit, muffled by his brother, flailed and laughed. "Why're you even smelling his paws?!" Cypresskit also giggled at this, staring down at his brother. Hiddenshade moved over to his kits, trying to remove Cypresskit from Raptorkit. "Alright you two, settle down, let's move this tour along." The warrior strutted off to the warrior's den. "This is the warrior's den, in here, I sleep over-" He stopped himself, looking for his kits....um, where'd they go?Si lverstar 23:24, October 15, 2016 (UTC)

The black smoke molly watched as both of her brothers raced over. "We're gonna explore outside camp." Silverkit grinned.

"Great! You think the Hiddenshade children wanna join?" Fogkit and Blossomkit shrugged.

"Probably not, they'd be too afraid." Fogkit said. — Minkclaw 23:30, October 15, 2016 (UTC)

...They were climbing up the willow tree, aka: Swampstar's den. "Oh dear StarClan..." Hiddenshade watched his kits in terror, the three kits giggling in joy, with Coastkit being the highest up.

"Can't catch me, can't catch me! She-cats rule, toms drool!" Oh, how much she was like her mother...it made Hiddenshade's heart ache. The two were so similar, in both appearance, and in fearless personality.Si lverstar 23:32, October 15, 2016 (UTC)

Silverkit shrugged, her smoke tail swishing around her brother's blossoming stubby tail. "Right now they're about to get in trouble. So we'll ask later. Maybe tonight." She said before leading the way out.

Fogkit chuckled before grinning. His creamy teeth showing in one of the creepiest grins Blossomkit had ever seen. — Minkclaw 23:35, October 15, 2016 (UTC)

Eyes wide with fear, he called to his kits. "You three! Get down, now!" They paid no attention to their father, rather, Cypresskit tried to climb around his sister...

Only for the two of them to fall.Si lverstar 23:39, October 15, 2016 (UTC)

Silverkit turned suddenly hearing the warrior's call. Her blue eyes widened and she felt as though her heart stopped as she watched them fall. "Dang!" She heard Fogkit whistle lowly. — Minkclaw 23:44, October 15, 2016 (UTC)

"No!! Foggysky, come quick!" Hiddenshade rushed to his fallen kits, finding Coastkit unconscious. The medicine cat already rushed over, herbs in mouth, gently prodding the kits with her paws. "...and she's so young...."Si lverstar 23:47, October 15, 2016 (UTC)

Silverkit watched horrified. — Minkclaw 23:59, October 15, 2016 (UTC)

Hiddenshade's heart immediately dropped, and he backed away. First his mate, and now his daughter? "You don't mean...?" Foggysky quickly shook her head. "No, but almost worse: her leg is broken. Cypresskit only fractured a rib."Si lverstar 00:02, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Silverkit immediately jumped into action knowing this was the only chance she could actually show Foggysky she was meant to be a medicine cat. She grabbed several sturdy, straight sticks before rushing to her side. "Here's some sticks for ehr leg." She said, looking at Foggysky with her icy blue eyes.

Fogkit rolled his eyes. "Man, I bet that hurts." Blossomkit commented. — Minkclaw 00:06, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Annoyance fell over the medicine cat. "I'm not helpless, move along, kit." She growled before returning her attention to the two injured kits. She worked on Cypresskit first, so he could breathe properly. Si lverstar 00:09, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Silverkit flattened her ears before stumbling back. All she wanted to do was help! Why wouldn't let her? The black smoke wanted to snap at the medicine cat so bad but held her tongue. — Minkclaw 00:12, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Once she fixed up Cypresskit, she moved onto Coastkit, blind eyes narrowed with worry. Young cats breaking bones was not a good thing...the poor molly would probably have complications for life because of this foolish injury. Raptorkit flattened his ears, feeling extremely guilty. This was all his fault...he dared them into climbing the tree. Afraid of what would happen, he fleed from camp.Si lverstar 00:15, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Silverkit narrowed her golden eyes before stomping off out of camp. The young kitten had seen Raptorkit run out and knew he wanted to be alone. She followed behind him slowly. Or he needed someone to talk too. She slowed down while following him quite a bit and somehow ended up losing his scent. — Minkclaw 00:18, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Wow...outside of camp was pretty scary. The fog was thick per usual, and the kit could hardly see in front of himself. Raptorkit moved around blindly, forcing his way through the thick mud. His father would want to kill him even more now...

Meanwhile, Foggysky finally finished Coastkit's leg, and placed her in the Medicine Cat den to wait until she awoke.Si lverstar 00:19, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Silverkit blinked her blue eyes against the thick fog. The black smoke molly pushed her way deeper where she thought Raptorkit had gone.

Fogkit and Blossomkit finally looked around noticing their sister was gone. "Where's Silverkit?" Fogkit asked aloud. — Minkclaw 00:25, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Hey, the fog was thinning out...! Raptorkit kept walking, ran into a tree, and then sat back in confusion. Wait...that tree was by camp. He was already back at camp? Huffing, the blue smoke tomkit pushed his way back into camp, hoping his father had moved to somewhere else.

Hiddenshade sat by his injured daughter, while Cypresskit sat at his paws. Worry glowed in the warrior's eyes, while Coastkit dreamed...she dreamed of a beautiful silver tabby, who grinned fondly at her, before disappearing into thin air...yet the dream continued?Si lverstar 00:28, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Whitetoe sat back on her hunches and cleaned her face. She had sorted out the days patrols and didn't have much to do that rest of the day. Probably her first day off since becoming deputy.

Feathersong padded away from Shimmertail, who she had just fought with for no reason. Something was wrong with her former mentor, she knew it. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 00:31, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Silverkit was lost now..her blue eyes now wide with fear What if she was taken by a coyote? The big monstrous things she'd heard Jumpstrike telling her brothers about! — Minkclaw 00:37, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Swampstar had been sleeping, and was now awake, confused as to why there were little tiny kit claw marks on his den/tree....idiot.

Coastkit eventually woke up, looking around in confusion until her eyes rested on her father. "Daddy? W-Why am I in here?"Si lverstar 00:39, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Palefang had gone back to the nursery and not long after she went into labor. Not a very painful one but not equally easy either. After she has given birth to five healthy kittens. The brown mink pulled her kittens close. She hadn't seen when Coastkit had fallen but had heard about it. — Minkclaw 01:10, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Hiddenshade opened his mouth, closed it, and then did it again. Telling his daughter that her leg was broken, and becoming a warrior would be difficult, nearly impossible...it was hard to say this. The smoke warrior glanced down at his paws, shuffling them slowly. "C-Coastkit, I-....you're leg's broken, sweetie...I'm sorry."Si lverstar 01:12, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Palefang watched as the silver and white ticked kitten pointedly gazed up at her mother with clear kitten blue eyes. "How?" She whispered. How were her eyes open she had just been born. The queen stared in fear. — Minkclaw 01:15, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

The little silver tabby's eyes grew round with what seemed to be both fear and shock. "Wh...What do you mean, daddy? C-Can I still be a warrior?" Coastkit spoke in a whimper, and Hiddenshade gently wrapped his tail around his daughter. Cypresskit whimpered - which was more of a wheeze because of his rib- as well, pressing close to his injured sister, while Raptorkit slowly entered the Medicine Cat den.Si lverstar 01:19, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Shorekit being a very troublesome soul immediately began to move. The fact that she'd just been born didn't seem to bother her at all. Palefang, however, disagreed with this and drew her daughter back to her nest. — Minkclaw 01:21, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

"I..." Hiddenshade closed his eyes as he trailed off. "...I don't know, Coastkit...I'm so sorry." Why couldn't he just live a simple, happy life? That was all he wanted! The former leader turned to his two sons, eyes remaining gentle. "Cypresskit, go into the nursery with your brother...you both need some rest."Si lverstar 01:23, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Once assured that her mother was asleep, Shorekit jumped up easily before leaping out of her next. Due to her age, she was a tiny thing, the older kittens looking like apprentices to her. — Minkclaw 01:29, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

"Yes, father..." Raptorkit immediately obeyed, dipping his head in grief before turning and following his injured brother into the nursery. Hiddenshade continued to sit with his daughter, attempting to comfort her.Si lverstar 01:31, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Shorekit watched as two big tom kittens walked into the nursery. Why were they so sad looking? — Minkclaw 01:34, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

After Coastkit fell asleep beside her father, Hiddenshade slowly made his way into the nursery to sleep with his sons, in hopes of comforting them as well.Si lverstar 01:35, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Shorekit was getting upset. She was wide awake and she had nobody to play with or even talk to. The silver and white ticked she-kit glared at the other kittens before angrily curling beside Palefang once more. — Minkclaw 01:39, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Hiddenshade glanced over at Palefang in surprise. What...had he missed? Awkwardly, the puzzled tom stiffly approached his kits and plopped down for them to lay with him. Cypresskit complained softly. "Daddy, it huuuurts!"Si lverstar 01:40, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Palefang woke feeling a gaze on her. Hiddenshade. The brown mink lifted her slightly before meeting his gaze. Hers was filled with sorrow and something else. The queen watched him before talking. "Is Coastkit..okay?" She asked. — Minkclaw 01:44, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

The warrior looked at his two kits, gently nuzzling Cypresskit. "I'm sorry Cypresskit, but you're too young to have poppy seeds just yet." Hiddenshade then glanced up at Palefang, his tail wrapping around his sons. "...She's...emotionally and physically in pain."

Raptorkit was unable to sit still. Even though his heart was gripped with sorrow, he just...had too much energy. So he climbed up on his father's back, and sat there, shifting.Si lverstar 01:46, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Palefang felt a sort of sorrow for the little silver tabby. Shorepebble's look alike. "The poor thing." She murmured. "What happened exactly?" She licked Shorekit's head as she spoke. The little silver and white ticked cat purring during this. — Minkclaw 01:53, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

"Her 'n her brothers were climbing Swampstar's den the moment I turned my back." Hiddenshade grunted as Raptorkit jumped off his back, the tomkit later sniffing around the den curiously. "She and Cypresskit fell...thankfully, he only broke a rib."Si lverstar 01:55, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Palefang's aqua eyes widened. "Oh dear," the queen said. "They seem very troublesome." She said. "Might want to keep a very close eye on them." she said. Shorekit watched her mother and Hiddenshade closely. When would they fall asleep again? — Minkclaw 02:06, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

"Yeah...." Grief flashed in his eyes, and he rested his head only big paws. "...It'd be easier if their mother was still here." Raptorkit glanced at his father in confusion, before letting out a quiet whimper. "...we had a mother?"Si lverstar 02:08, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

"She was a very brave cat, Hiddenshade." Palefang said, watching Raptorkit for a minute. Would talking about he other parent bring up whom fathered her kits? — Minkclaw 02:19, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Whitetoe saw Swampstar and strutted over to him. "Hey, Swampstar. I've sorted out all the patrols, and the dawn patrol returned with nothing to report."

Meadowbee sat up from her sun bathing. Although it was leafbare, it was quite warm. She decided she'd go on a solo hunt. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 02:37, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

"I know...one of the many reasons why I loved her." The warrior cast his son a nervous glance, refusing to answer Raptorkit's question.

Swampstar looked up. "Good, good..."Si lverstar 02:55, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Whitetoe looked down at her paws, then back up at the leader. "So... uh... do you want to hunt again... without breaking your neck?" —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 03:00, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Swampstar hesitated, glancing up at the sky. He'd have to leave at sunhigh...he still had time. "...Alright, but it's going to have to be quick."Si lverstar 03:02, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Whitetoe nodded. She hadn't spoken to him much ever since his sister passed... She whipped around and began to pad for the camps entrance with her head held proudly. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 03:04, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

The leader flicked his tail, following behind his deputy with his head low. He was really going to do this...no, not hunting, but...something else, something much more daunting to a regular soul.Si lverstar 03:05, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Whitetoe kept to her path in the marshes. Was it her or was Swampstar acting... strange? probably just her, she must have sniffed too much catmint... Meanwhile, Morningwing sat in camp, cleaning his claws. His next meeting with Frostfire was soon! He was excited. He regretted telling his brother, he didn't seem to want to speak to him any longer, and he was sure he had blabbed to Feathersong about it, she kept giving him glares. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 03:12, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Swampstar tasted the air of prey, trying to block out his thoughts about what he was going to do in a few hours to come. He was excited, but...he was also terrified.---- Dusksong snorted, continuing to glance down at Shadepaw as she remained pin. "Well? You gonna do something?"Si lverstar 03:14, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

"Are you okay?" Whitetoe asked after a moment, turning to look at Swampstar. She hadn't had catmint! he was acting weird. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 03:24, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

"M-Me?" He had flinched in surprise when she spoke. "Oh, yes, I'm perfectly fine...just the weather making me on edge."Si lverstar 03:25, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Whitetoe rolled her eyes. "Whatever," she flicked her tail and veered away through the marshes as she scented frog. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 03:27, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

She-cats...he'd never understand them. Shrugging it off, Swampstar continued with his hunting, walking silently.Si lverstar 03:53, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Shorekit stared at the two Warriors that slept in the nursery. Her mother and Hiddenshade, both asleep now. She sighed in relief before getting up and slipping out of the nursery silently. The stars shone up in the night sky, the slowly turning blue to sea-green eyes of Shorekit widened in awe. "Whoa!" She whispered. The silver and white ticked cat looked around for something to do. The camp had gotten silent and Swampstar and Whitetoe were gone.

The newborn kitten, who should be sleeping right now, figured she'd visit this Coastkit her mother had been talking about to the other cat. — Minkclaw 04:14, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Coastkit continued to sleep, eager to see that pretty silver tabby again that looked so much like herself. Yet, she dreamed of butterflies and flowers...but not of that silver tabby.

Raptorkit, meanwhile, had finally fallen asleep, right on top of his father's head.Si lverstar 04:23, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Shorekit realizing that Coastkit was older than her dashed to the fresh-kill pile to fetch the silver tabby a mouse or something better. Among the best of it she found a big, thick, juicy, plump vole. She bit down on the brown, dull scruff and began to proceed to dragging it to the medicine den, probably making quite a bit of noise. — Minkclaw 04:35, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Marshkit watched his siblings do all kinds of things... he wanted to join them, but was too shy. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 20:46, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Where'd she go? Coastkit pushed herself forward in her dream, searching for that silver tabby that seemed so similar to herself. She couldn't even smell her...

Raptorkit grunted as he fell off his father's head, flinching away as he lay on the ground. That was a...sudden awakening.Si lverstar 23:29, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Marshkit padded into the clearing. Wow, he had gone two feet! he was doing amazingly well! Swiftfeather hunted alongside Shimmertail, the two were becoming close... Meanwhile, Feathersong sniffed a patch of flowers and rubbed her pelt on them. She enjoyed their sweet scent. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 23:49, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Full moon, Gathering time...the medicine cat aproached her leader, both having announced that they would not attend. "...are you ready, Swampstar? Sure you still want to do this?"Si lverstar 00:00, October 17, 2016 (UTC)

Emberpaw sat boredly in the apprentices den. He was angry he hadn't been chosen to go to the Gathering. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 00:04, October 17, 2016 (UTC)

Swampstar took in a slow, deep breath before nodding at his medicine cat. "I want to do this, I know what I'll be sacrificing...and it's worth it." With that, he followed Foggysky out of camp.Si lverstar 00:06, October 17, 2016 (UTC)

Marshkit snooped around the apprentices den. He didn't think anyone was still in there... so maybe he could pick his nest, real early! —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 00:10, October 17, 2016 (UTC)

Together, Foggysky and Swampstar ventured quickly to the Sacred Pond, the medicine cat motioning to the leader. "Step forth, Swampstar...speak with StarClan of these matters."

Suddenly, Hiddenshade awoke with a jolt, Raptorkit staring up at his father in confusion. Was he...sensing something?Si lverstar 00:13, October 17, 2016 (UTC)

Shorekit dragged the vole into the medicine den stumping on a silver tabby striped tail. Oh darn! That was Coastkit's tail. The silver and white ticked kitten stared knowing that must have hurt after a minute she turned and stared at the vole. What now? — Minkclaw 01:35, October 17, 2016 (UTC)

Nodding, Swampstar lay down drink the water before falling asleep, seeing a Starclan cat in his sleep. "...I'd like to give up a life."Si lverstar 02:24, October 17, 2016 (UTC)

Marshkit made his way into the apprentices den and hopped through the nests, trying to figure out which one was the best. Emberpaw flicked an ear when he heard werid noises. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 02:27, October 17, 2016 (UTC)

"And for whom?" The Starclan cat eyed Swampstar curiously. "...my sister, Shorepebble."Si lverstar 02:38, October 17, 2016 (UTC)

More rustling. Emberpaw whipped around and spotted a shadow. "Who's there?" he hissed, a challenge in his voice. Marshkit froze. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 02:56, October 17, 2016 (UTC)

The starry cat nodded slowly. "...As you wish, sir..." With that, the leader's vision started to fade to black, until he saw nothing.Si lverstar 03:02, October 17, 2016 (UTC)

Emberpaw sprang onto the frozen kit. He sniffed him. "Marshkit? I thought you were a fox! I could've really hurt you." —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 03:09, October 17, 2016 (UTC)

He awoke besides the Sacred Pond, Shorepebble shaking him awake with a furious look. "Idiot!! Why'd you give up your life, you should've kept it!" Swampstar pushed his sister off, eyes narrowed sharply. "Because you're my sister, and I love you. Plus..." He glanced down at the ground. "...even though I'm not pleased with you 'n Hiddenshade, I just couldn't bear to see him so sad...nor do I wish for your kits to go without a mother. Now c'mon: let's get home to them."Si lverstar 21:31, October 18, 2016 (UTC)

Marshkit and Emberpaw talked during the night, and then the two even played together. Marshkit loved Emberpaw! He was amazing! —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 21:51, October 18, 2016 (UTC)

Swampstar escorted his sister back to camp, purring all the meanwhile. Shorepebble still didn't seem too pleased that her brother 'wasted' a life, but as soon as she returned to camp and saw Hiddenshade, she tackled the tom with an overjoyed purr. "Hiddenshade, it's me, Swampstar brought me back!!"Si lverstar 21:56, October 18, 2016 (UTC)

Whitetoe arrived back to camp, leading her tired Clan. She padded wearily into the clearing, then her eyes widened and she no longer felt tired. "Shorepebble...?" —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 22:17, October 18, 2016 (UTC)

"Daddy is under attack!!" Like an idiot, Raptorkit came racing from the nursery, eyes wide. Cypresskit stumbled out as well, pain stinging in his broken paw. "Great StarClan...it's a giant Coastkit!!"Si lverstar 00:48, October 19, 2016 (UTC)

Whitetoe stood where she was. What happened? Had Shorepebble left the Clan? or was she dreaming? —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 01:02, October 19, 2016 (UTC)

Shorekit watched with wide sea-green eyes. The silver and white ticked cat giggled before racing forward onto her siblings. — Minkclaw 01:05, October 19, 2016 (UTC)

"No, Cypresskit...this is your lovely mother, Shorepebble." Hiddenshade gazed up at his mate fondly. "...Swampstar gave up a life to bring me back..." Shorepebble answered almost breathlessly.Si lverstar 01:07, October 19, 2016 (UTC)

Whitetoe overheard, of course she was evesdropping. Swampstar gave up a life to bring Shorepebble back? She wandered around. She wanted to speak with her leader. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 01:10, October 19, 2016 (UTC)

Swampstar sat by the exit with the slightest grin, watching his sister as she curiously met her kits with a warm voice. Kits...he never expected his tough sister to have them.Si lverstar 01:36, October 19, 2016 (UTC)

Wolfflame made his way into camp. He'd been working hard as a warrior and hopefully Islandkit would be awake so he could visit her. If course he expected Echosong to throw a fuss at this.

Echosong had actually had enough and had taken Islandkit and had ran from camp the minute Wolfflame left. The grey queen lashed her tail before looking down at her daughter. She looked nothing like him. Thank StarClan. — Minkclaw 12:20, October 19, 2016 (UTC)

Whitetoe spotted Swampstar and pounded over to him. She wasn't sure if she was mad or what. Stopping in front of him, she began. "You gave up a life for Shorepebble?" she asked, bluntly. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 13:16, October 19, 2016 (UTC)

Wolfflame stared at his daughter as she sat with her mother. Echosong galring coldly at her brother, he was wrong in so many ways but yet she knew he needed help. Mentally.

Islandkit looked at her father then up at her mother. "Ma, why is he sitting there and never gets to see me?" She asked.

Palefern made her way to Wolfstep. She was excited to tell him her news. She was expecting! — Minkclaw 14:36, October 19, 2016 (UTC)

"I did, and it was worth it..." the leader trailed off, continuing to watch his sister as her kits leaped into her. "-....and it was totally worth it."Si lverstar 19:53, October 19, 2016 (UTC)

Whitetoe still didn't know how she felt. She followed his gaze, looking worried, towards Shorepebble and her kits. "Yes it was... You did a good thing...Those kits deserve their mother." —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 19:58, October 19, 2016 (UTC)

"Definitely, they seem even more alive." Swampstar murmured, craning his neck to bite at an itch. "...Hiddenshade too, I've never seen him so happy."Si lverstar 20:35, October 19, 2016 (UTC)

Whitetoe didn't reply, just sat watching the kits and parents together. ---- Emberpaw play-fought with Marshkit. Emberpaw's dumb mentor kept hanging out with that dumb she-cat Shimmertail instead of him. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 21:18, October 19, 2016 (UTC)

"Shorepebble, I-..." Hiddenshade trailed off, recalling Coastkit's accident. The poor kit was still camping out in the Medicine Cat's den. "-...our daughter, she looks just like you, her name's Coastkit...after you, of course." He let his gaze slide over to Foggysky's den. "She broke her leg, the same day Cypresskit broke his paw...I'm so sorry."Si lverstar 01:34, October 20, 2016 (UTC)

Flyshade walked out of the Warriors' den ready for a walk. It had been almost a week since she'd met Sunshadow and his bitter attitude somehow drew her in. — Minkclaw 19:26, October 22, 2016 (UTC)

Sunshadow was getting revenge. Hunt on his territory, then he'd hunt on yours. Besides, his littermates were too busy babbling about Risingsun for some reason.Si lverstar 19:29, October 22, 2016 (UTC)

Birdsoar laid in a patch of sunlight outside the warriors' den with her mate. ---- Willowspirit sat outside the warriors' den. --look me in the eye 19:30, October 22, 2016 (UTC)

Flyshade made her way out of camp her golden gaze light. What to do.. She scented the air and funny thing she scented a RockClan cat. — Minkclaw 19:38, October 22, 2016 (UTC)

Shorepebble sat with Coastkit in the Medicine Cat den, finding her daughter still asleep. Instead, the queen gently stroked her daughter's flank.

Sunshadow growled to himself as his pelt was covered in mud. Those pigs live in this filth?Si lverstar 19:40, October 22, 2016 (UTC)

Flyshade made her way through the mud that oddly blended in with her dark smoky pelt. The tabby molly leapt across a medium sized mud puddle. She knew which RockClan cat this was. Sunshadow. She finally caught up to him. "Way to get revenge," she called eyes lit with humor. (Insert Sarcasm)_{_{Bite Me, Dean!}} 02:49, October 23, 2016 (UTC)

Sunshadow curled a lip, keeping a strong stance. "Just doing my duty...and my right."Si lverstar 02:57, October 23, 2016 (UTC)

Flyshade's gaze followed the tom. What was the point in stopping him? It was only fair that he did this. "I gueess," she murmured softly. (Insert Sarcasm)_{_{Bite Me, Dean!}} 03:27, October 23, 2016 (UTC)

Sunshadow snorted stupidly, standing there as if he was the greatest thing StarClan had ever placed on the earth. "And you aren't even going to do anything?"Si lverstar 03:28, October 23, 2016 (UTC)

"Not really," she said. The black smoke tabby lashed her tail before flicking her tail at him. "Besides its fair considering I did the exact same thing." She replied. (Insert Sarcasm)_{_{Bite Me, Dean!}} 04:00, October 23, 2016 (UTC)

Sunshadow made not a noise, secretly taken by surprise. "And when your leader hears of this?"Si lverstar 00:52, October 24, 2016 (UTC)

A few sunrises later, after sending out patrols, Whitetoe crouched, the hunters crouch. A few tail-lengths away, Marshkit tried to copy her the best he could, while Emberpaw studied him. "Stop twitching your tail, and lift it up a bit. Not that high! Okay, that looks good. Didn't I say to keep it still?"

Feathersong watched Shimmertail leave camp with Swiftwhisker. Ever since she started hanging out with that tom, she had changed... she wasn't very kind anymore, very mean to be exact, she had even struck Feathersong's ear a few days before. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 23:29, October 25, 2016 (UTC)

Hawkkit flicked her tail in frustration, she was bored and Marshkit and Emberpaw just wanted to lie around. The tabby kitten licked the white flash of fur on her chest before jumping past them. "Come on," she snapped angrily. "Let's go explore or something." Her paws jumpy and full of energy. (Insert Sarcasm)_{_{Bite Me, Dean!}} 02:55, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

Marshkit lifted his head, tired out from training with Whitetoe that morning. "Urgh... five more minutes..." Emberpaw groaned. Marshkit climbed to his paws. "Explore what?" he asked. "Outside camp!" Emberpaw mewed, quietly, but excitedly. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 02:59, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

Hawkkit didn't wait for their whiny voices, well whiny to her. She had them going everywhere. The tabby molly dashed her way to the exit, making sure the deputy nor Swampstar were near. "Follow me," she said. When her mother had sent her from StarClan the kitten had wandered for days without food or water and well she'd learnt quite a bit about her Clan's territory. (Insert Sarcasm)_{_{Bite Me, Dean!}} 03:08, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

Emberpaw leaped to his paws and lightly scrambled after her, making sure no one was looking. If they got caught he'd take the blame. Marshkit trailed after them, looking unsure. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 03:09, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

"Oh shut it, Marshy!" Hawkkit said shutting up the whiny cat. Her green gaze searching around. Her friends were an interesting lot, especially Marshkit. Whiny kit afraid of everything. "Hm...what first?" She asked herself. (Insert Sarcasm)_{_{Bite Me, Dean!}} 03:20, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

"Oooh, let's go to the border, I've heard that we can see coyotes sometimes!" Emberpaw suggested, lashing his tail with excitement. Marshkit kept silent, but in his mind he willed Hawkkit to refuse. Getting mauled didn't sound fun at all. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 03:32, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

"Great!" She exclaimed while Marshkit stayed silent. Baby, the other kit thought. The brown tabby she-kit followed behind suit, Emberpaw's tail lightly touching the tabby's ears. "Move your tail, fox-brain." She said. (Insert Sarcasm)_{_{Bite Me, Dean!}} 03:41, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

"Move your head, beetle-brain!" Emberpaw grumbled, leading the way, while Marshkit trailed behind. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 03:42, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

Hawkkit ignored this and finally evened herself out with the larger cat. "Were you ever told stories on Risingstar?" She asked. Her mother had told her to beware the Dark Forest leader and never and she meant never listen to anything her or any of the Dark Forest cats said. Shorewillow had been desperate when telling her daughter this as it was foretold that Hawkkit's future could destroy what everyone had known. (Insert Sarcasm)_{_{Bite Me, Dean!}} 03:58, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

Emberpaw shrugged. "Swiftfeather gives me history lessions that I don't listen to, I've heard the name before though." —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 04:00, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

"I wonder why she's classified as evil?" She asked, sparking her interest in the tale and memory of Risingstar. The Dark Forest cat was sure to feel this small flicker of interest in her legend. (Insert Sarcasm)_{_{Bite Me, Dean!}} 04:09, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

"Stop talking about her!" Marshkit whimpered. "I've heard just saying her name can make her appear and eat naughty kits, and we're being naughty right now!" —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 04:13, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

Hawkkit snickered. "Maybe you need some toughening up, maybe she'll visit you in your dreams tonight." The tabby commented fearlessly. (Insert Sarcasm)_{_{Bite Me, Dean!}} 04:25, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

"That's it, I'm going back to camp!" Marshkit announced, turning back the way they came. "And what are you going to tell the Clan when they see you walking in, hmm?" Emberpaw questioned. Meanwhile, back at camp, Whitetoe groomed out the dust and leaves from her pelt.—patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 13:57, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

Hawkkit snickered once more at her friend. "Come on, Marshy. Don't be big baby." She said. Her thoughts were to use his sisters against him. "Do you know how much trouble you would get in if Palefang knew you were out? Especially since she's friends with Hiddenshade." The tabby kitten taunted. (Insert Sarcasm)_{_{Bite Me, Dean!}} 14:12, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

"Fine. I'll stay, but I'm not happy about it," Marshkit muttered, continuing to follow his friends. Meanwhile, Risingstorm stalked a vole nearby. He knew he was on a Clans territory, but he didn't care. He despised the Clans with all of his heart. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 14:50, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

Hawkkit now silent caught sight of a loner. "Er, Emberpaw what do we do if this happens?" She asked signaling to the tom, who seemed familiar. Maybe he knew her mother by any chance? (Insert Sarcasm)_{_{Bite Me, Dean!}} 15:51, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

Emberpaw blinked at the rogue, just noticing him, while Marshkit squealed "Run!" and pelted away to hide in a clump of bracken. Risingstorm jerked his head sharply when he heard voices. He saw two young cats standing a few tail-lengths away. He narrowed his eyes and bared his fangs at them. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 16:20, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

Hawkkit closed her eyes seeing her mother's starry body. That's how she always knew he rmother and father, as StarClan cats. She hadn't really told much of anyone where she had come from and who her parents were. (Insert Sarcasm)_{_{Bite Me, Dean!}} 16:25, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

Emberpaw glared back at the rogue, though he trembled. He had never really fought a real battle before. Risingstorm studied the cats, putting his fangs away. The she-cat smelled familiar...

Meanwhile, as Whitetoe groomed her pelt, she wondered. She was well, starting to believe she may have a crush on Swampstar, gross. But he was a good cat, and she wasn't disappointed in her choice. But wouldn't that be wrong, the deputy having feelings for the leader? If something did happen to him, would Whitetoe be able to lead the Clan properly? —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 22:37, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

Swampstar lay in front of his den, groaning as two kits clambered all over him. His two nephews were playing on the leader, who was clearly unamused, but didn't budge. He was being a good sport...he had to admit, his sister's kits were pretty cute. Raptorkit lay lazily on the leader's head, while Cypresskit rolled at the leader's chest.Si lverstar 22:40, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

Don't get her wrong, she loved being the Clans deputy but she had to look at the truth; she couldn't remain in her position. Her gaze shifted over towards Swampstar. She should announce that she would be stepping down... would he be angry? —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 22:43, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

Slowly, Raptorkit leaned forward, slinking off Swampstar's head in at a very steady pace. "Ergh...ok you two, ok...you're crushing me to bits, go see your sister." He grunted, the kits frowning before racing off to visit Coastkit.Si lverstar 22:45, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

Whitetoe took in a deep breath and padded across the clearing towards the leader. "Hello, Swampstar," she greeted him with a simple tail flick. "I... I must step down as your deputy. It's personal," she murmured. Huh, that was easy. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 22:47, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

Swampstar looked up in surprise, and although he tried to hold it back, frowned. "Oh...ok, I understand. You're free to return to your duties then, thanks for serving me." He had to admit, he'd...miss having her as his constant company, but he'd still have her around as a warrior! "I'll be announcing our new deputy shortly, then."Si lverstar 22:48, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

"Thank you so much for understanding, Swampstar," Whitetoe murmured, dipping her head to the tom, then padded away, head held high and proud.

Meanwhile, Morningwing returned from hunting, mud splattered all over his pelt. He carried a mouse by it's tail and a sparrow. He glanced around. He wanted to give Dusktiger a peace offering, maybe he'd be forgiven? —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 22:52, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

Swampstar leaped onto the rock in his tree, and summoned his clan with a yowl. "Whitetoe has stepped down from her position as deputy for personal reasons, so now, I must choose a new deputy. I say these words before StarClan, so that the spirits of our warrior ancestors may hear and approve of my choice...the new deputy of StormClan is Morningwing."Si lverstar 22:59, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

The prey that was in Morningwing's jaws fell out and he looked over to the rock where Swampstar stood. "Me?" he murmured. A blind cat with a terrible personality? —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 23:34, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

"No, the other Morningwing," the leader twitched his whiskers in good-natured humor, slowly tipping his head to the side. "Well? Do you accept this great responsibility?"Si lverstar 00:22, October 28, 2016 (UTC)

Morningwing dipped his head, his heart pounding. "I do," he said quietly, his voice hardly more then a whisper. Wow... he was StormClan's deputy. When he was a kit, he never would have thought he would go so far... —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 00:25, October 28, 2016 (UTC)

Swampstar dipped his head. "Then I welcome you as my new deputy, Morningwing." Dusktiger blinked in surprise, secretly impressed, although he was still too angry to congratulate his brother.Si lverstar 00:26, October 28, 2016 (UTC)

Feathersong wasn't pleased with Swampstar's choice, a disloyal cat as deputy... who would have thought... Morningwing padded towards his brother, fast, wanting to speak with him before he bolted. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 00:30, October 28, 2016 (UTC)

Upon spotting his brother approached, Dusktiger quickly turned, looking for an escape goat. "Hey, Shadepaw, we're going out training...right now!" He swiftly called to his dark apprentice, who looked up in surprise.Si lverstar 00:31, October 28, 2016 (UTC)

"I can come with you," Morningwing suggested. Then he could trap his brother! "Shadepaw does need to learn how to fend off two enmies, right, Shadepaw?" he looked toward where the apprentices scent was drifting. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 00:35, October 28, 2016 (UTC)

"We're practicing our hunting, that kind of training." The dark tabby responded swiftly with a sharp narrow of his eyes. "...you probably have 'better' things to do, don't you?"Si lverstar 00:38, October 28, 2016 (UTC)

"Fine, Dusktiger, if that's how you want it to be," Morningwing murmured. He would try again later... he didn't want to cause a scene. "Go on and train your apprentice," he huffed, turning, and padding lightly away. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 00:42, October 28, 2016 (UTC)

Shadepaw stood their awkwardly, watching the two brothers in confusion. Why was she being drug into this....? "C'mon Shadepaw, let's train." Dusktiger grunted loudly, flattening his ears as he stomped out of camp, the dark apprenticen nervously following.Si lverstar 00:44, October 28, 2016 (UTC)

(maybe when creek goes to get his nine lives morning'n frost can meet up?) Morningwing plopped down, his thoughts a bit angry with his brother. Why did he have to be so stubborn? —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 00:47, October 28, 2016 (UTC)

(fine by me) Swampstar sat down somewhere in camp, silently observing his clan, although his mind was nagging at something else. Why did Whitetoe step down. Did she not like him? Was he too annoying? Did he...smell?!Si lverstar 00:48, October 28, 2016 (UTC)

Morningwing remembered his meeting with Frostfire was tomorrow night. He shifted. He'd have to leave in the morning... How was he going to do that when he had patrols to sort out? Maybe he could talk to Swampstar? But then he might be asked... questions...

Whitetoe approved of Swampstar's choice. Morningwing was bold, maybe a bit bold for his own good, but still a good cat. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 00:53, October 28, 2016 (UTC)

Hesitating, Swampstar slowly rose to his paws, making his way to Whitetoe. "Hey...I- you didn't step down because I was bothering you or anything, right? If I...upset you somehow, I didn't mean to."Si lverstar 00:57, October 28, 2016 (UTC)

Whitetoe couldn't help but let out a laugh. She quickly stopped. "Oh, no, you weren't bothering me at all, don't worry, it's nothing terrible." —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 01:00, October 28, 2016 (UTC)

"Oh, ok." He nodded slowly. "J-Just wanted to make sure."Si lverstar 01:06, October 28, 2016 (UTC)

"Are you okay?" Whitetoe asked. Did he not believe her? —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 01:13, October 28, 2016 (UTC)

"Well...." Swampstar hesitated, unsure of how to put it. "...just a bit sad, I guess? I enjoyed your...company."Si lverstar 01:14, October 28, 2016 (UTC)

Whitetoe smiled and dipped her head. "It's not like I'm leaving the Clan, we'll still be seeing each other all the time... But I do admit, I'll miss working with you as well." —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 01:17, October 28, 2016 (UTC)

He nodded slowly. "Yeah, that was what I meant...." Swampstar drifted off into awkward silence, unsure of what to say to her next.Si lverstar 01:20, October 28, 2016 (UTC)

Whitetoe looked at him thoughtfully. Should she tell him why she really had stepped down? She knew she wouldn't feel too awkward with it, but would he? —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 01:24, October 28, 2016 (UTC)

Continuing to shift in his awkward little manner, Swampstar moved his gaze to the sky. Should he mention the weather? No, no, too cheesey...Si lverstar 01:25, October 28, 2016 (UTC)

Oh well, she'd tell him anyways! "Look, the reason why I stepped down is because I like you," Whitetoe said simplely. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 01:26, October 28, 2016 (UTC)

Willowspirit nodded as she watched Morningwing become deputy... her former apprentice. Hopefully he'll serve this Clan well. ---- Birdsoar fiddled around with her new nest in the nursery. She was expecting Bouldersnow's kits... the warrior was surprised that this had happened so soon, but whatever. He'd been notified, of course, even though there was still another moon to go. --look me in the eye 03:34, October 28, 2016 (UTC)

Swampstar paused, a surprised. Wait, did she mean 'like' as a character, or like him as in...romance? "I...what do you mean?"Si lverstar 01:18, October 29, 2016 (UTC)

"Oh... well... you know, just like you," Whitetoe replied, not being very clear with herself. "Kind of like, like you. I didn't want it to get in the way with my jobs." —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 14:02, October 29, 2016 (UTC)

Swampstar blinked, still unsure of what she meant. Probably romantic, right? A friendly 'like' wouldn't make things get in the way of your duties. "...O-Oh..."Si lverstar 22:36, October 29, 2016 (UTC)

Whitetoe nodded. "Yeah. I wanted to be honest with you, so you didn't think that you were too annoying to me or anything... you're not... So yeah," she meowed. "No big deal." —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 22:40, October 29, 2016 (UTC)

Swampstar nodded slowly. "No big deal..." he echoed before shifting nervously. What if he felt the same? Could he not handle his duties as well?Si lverstar 22:42, October 29, 2016 (UTC)

"Swampstar's too busy with Shorepebble and all." The warrior said, her eyes going to the sky before slowly turned to face the sky. The wind coursing through her short fur. (Insert Sarcasm)_{_{Bite Me, Dean!}} 02:38, October 31, 2016 (UTC)

"Sure sounds like quite the leader." The RockClan warrior let out a snort. "I might as well just take over your territory if he's not going to even bother with it."Si lverstar 02:40, October 31, 2016 (UTC)

Flyshade flattened her ears at this. "Um.." was her only response. Now she was unsure and very wary of the cat. Was that his intention? She hadn't meant harm by trying that squirrel. (Insert Sarcasm)_{_{Bite Me, Dean!}} 02:46, October 31, 2016 (UTC)

"I'm just joking, that's far too much work." Sunshadow mumbled under his breath. "That, and my littermates would beat me senseless."Si lverstar 02:49, October 31, 2016 (UTC)

Flyshade flicked her smoke ears towards the tom. Littermates? "You have siblings," she whispered to herself before speaking louder for him to hear. "What are they like?" She asked. (Insert Sarcasm)_{_{Bite Me, Dean!}} 03:07, October 31, 2016 (UTC)

"Yeah, it kinda sucks." Sunshadow muttered under his breath. "Two sisters and a brother. Smokecloud is kinda our leader, tries to keep us all in line...which can be annoying. Rainstorm's pretty adventurous, kinda sassy and a bit too bold for her own good, but she only likes to have fun. Cloudfrost...she's real shy, so we all protect her."Si lverstar 03:10, October 31, 2016 (UTC)

Flyshade smiled as he spoke surprisingly fondly of his brother and sisters. The smoke tabby thought of her own. Talltail and Palefang. Talltail had been too busy being alone these days and Palefang had just grown quiet since her confession to Hiddenshade and all that had happened with Swampstar. (Insert Sarcasm)_{_{Bite Me, Dean!}} 03:14, October 31, 2016 (UTC)

"But of course, they all have their annoying sides," he complained with a small roll of his eyes.Si lverstar 03:18, October 31, 2016 (UTC)

"They do, don't they." She replied. Her thoughts on her brother, he could be annoying and bothersome when he wanted. Which was usually every morning where he decided to jump all over her rib cage and cause her to be sore for the rest of the day. Palefang, on the other paw, wasn't as bothersome. She used to have her moments where she demanded for attention or someone to talk too but now she stayed quiet. (Insert Sarcasm)_{_{Bite Me, Dean!}} 03:27, October 31, 2016 (UTC)

"I take it you have littermates of your own?" Questioned the smoke tom, who now seated himself.Si lverstar 03:28, October 31, 2016 (UTC)

"Yeah, their a very peculiar lot." She replied. "Palefang has just had her own litter after her little fallout with one of our Clan's warriors. Not really a fallout but.." she trailed. "Talltail is very busysome." She continued. (Insert Sarcasm)_{_{Bite Me, Dean!}} 03:33, October 31, 2016 (UTC)

"Who are you?" Risingstorm demanding to the kittens in front of him. All puny and sad to look at. Emberpaw fluffed out his pelt, puffing out his chest. "I am Emberpaw. Apprentice of StormClan." —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 22:53, November 1, 2016 (UTC)

"None of my littermates have kits or even a mate of their own," Sunshadow grunted with a careless shrug. "And they're the only family I got, so I'm fine with that." He didn't dare mention his StarClan mother.Si lverstar 00:17, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Morningwing plodded through the marshes and stopped once he had at last reached him and Frostfire's meeting place. His heart pounded. He despartely wanted her here with him. His heart ached at the fact they lived miles away from each other. He had thought it, denied it, and knew it now for a long time. He was in love with Frostfire. How could he keep doing this? He was StormClan's deputy for crying out loud, and he kept sneaking off to meet a RockClan she-cat... —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 01:54, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Frostfire kept thinking about her conversation with her brother, over and over, and was in constant turmoil. RockClan's deputy...she was living the dream of almost every cat in the Clans, yet she was unsatisfied. No, she didn't want the position...she wanted Morningwing. Pricking her ears, Frostfire caught sight of the tom and raced forward. "M-Morningwing! I...I have news."Si lverstar 01:57, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Morningwing blinked at her, feeling his heart lift when he heard her voice and smelled her sweet scent. "What is it?" he asked. I have news, too. He added, silently. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 02:01, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

"Look, this'll...this'll probably sound weird in all...but...-" She trailed off, constantly shifting nervously. "I-I love you, Morningwing. But I'm deputy of my Clan, and...I was hoping you'd come back home to RockClan."Si lverstar 02:04, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Morningwing's heart felt like it skipped a beat. She loved him too! But then it felt like it dropped and at the same time shocked. First he purred. "Frostfire, I love you too, I really do," he meowed, breifly touching his nose to her cheek. "But... I can't come with you to RockClan... I... I'm StormClan's deputy..." —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 02:07, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Eyes growing round with shock, Frostfire stepped back. Two deputies from two different clans, in love...how could this possibly work? Morningwing was so devoted to his Clan, she could see it in his eyes...He wanted this, didn't he? He wanted to be the deputy...and Frostfire had been made deputy of her Clan out of dumb luck. "Then...I-I'll join StormClan with you. My brother and I already got into a fight, and I love my Clan, but...I think I love you more."Si lverstar 02:09, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

"Frostfire..." Morningwing said, softly. "You don't have to do this..." he murmured, although he knew that it was probably no use. "...are you sure?" —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 02:12, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

"Of course I'm sure!" The monochromatic she-cat gently touched her nose to his shoulder. "You know I'd do anything for you...I'd be happier at your side, the side of my best friend, than sitting around with some fancy title."Si lverstar 02:15, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Morningwing pushed his nose into the fur on her shoulder. "Thank you so much, Frostfire," he purred. He felt so happy, like he could do a backflip, then break his neck. "... do you want to say good-bye to your Clan?" —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 02:18, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Frostfire closed her eyes as she felt the tom embrace her. "Yes, I have to..." she trailed off, trying to think of what she'd say to her Clan. "...I'll tell them that I feel unfit to be deputy, and that something calls for me in StormClan...adventure, something like that."Si lverstar 02:21, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Morningwing nodded. "I can come with you, if you want." —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 02:23, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

"No, no, stay with your Clan." Frostfire urged, slowly stepping away from him. "I'll be back as soon as possible, I promise."Si lverstar 02:26, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Nodding, Morningwing sat down. "I'll wait for you in this spot," he meowed, curling his tail around his paws. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 02:29, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Frostfire left.Si lverstar 02:30, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

As promised, Morningwing waited. He did leave and killed a vole. Frostfire would probably be hungry when she returned. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 02:44, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

(bleh whatever skip) Frostfire eventually returned, her tail held high as she walked towards Morningwing, a grin on her face. "...I'm back!"Si lverstar 02:46, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Morningwing purred a greeting to her. He pushed the vole towards her. "I caught you something; you got back pretty fast. It went well, I hope?" —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 02:51, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

"Thanks," she purred before settling down, neatly wrapping her tail around her body. "Yeah, things seemed to go well...Creekstar didn't question me at all."Si lverstar 02:53, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

"That's good," Morningwing mewed, feeling grateful to RockClan for once in a long time. "What about your brother?' —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 02:55, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

"I...didn't dare talk to him." She swallowed the rest of her prey before looking away, embarrassed by her actions. "...but he'll know why I left."Si lverstar 02:56, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Morningwing nodded, not pressing her any farther. Getting to his paws, streching out his stiff limbs, he looked towards where his camp was hidden. "Ready to go?" —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 03:00, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Back at camp, Birdsoar slept in the nursery... the queen was due to kit any day now, and her belly - as a result - was quite swollen. Outside the nursery, her mate paced around - Bouldersnow seemed very anxious about Birdsoar's kitting, even though it hadn't started yet. --look me in the eye 18:22, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Frostfire smiled and rose to her paws in a small stretch. "Born ready."---- Swampstar was keeping to himself, puzzled by his recent feelings.---- Hiddenshade lay outside the nursery, tightly curled around Shorepebble as he purred, the pair watching their kits play and attempt to teach Coastkit how to walk properly.Si lverstar 20:16, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Nodding, Morningwing led the way through the marshes toward the camp. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 20:20, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Frostfire followed the tom she loved at a collected pace, although both excitement and fear constantly clashed within her stomach.Si lverstar 20:24, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Morningwing brushed his way through the camps entrance. This would go fine! Meadowbee used to live in RockClan, she joined without any trouble... the same went for when he joined as well. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 20:29, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Frostfire, grunting in annoyance now that she was covered in mud, swiftly trotted after Morningwing, gazing around the camp in amazement. She was quite...surprised. StormClan's camp was remarkably clean and dry, not the muddy mess like the territory.Si lverstar 20:32, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Morningwing padded across the clearing towards Swampstar's den. The eyes of other cats burned his pelt. Clearly his Clanmates had noticed... "Swampstar," he called, confidently, along he didn't even know if the leader was in camp or not.

Swiftfeather and Shimmertail glared at the RockClan she-cat. What was she doing here? Feathersong padded out of the warriors den, noticing the camp had become oddly quiet. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 20:39, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Swampstar slowly rose to his paws, the tall leader slinking out of his den and narrowing his eyes. "What's this, Morningwing?" He spoke sternly, but not coldly. The leader knew very well that a single RockClan cat was no threat to his powerful Clan.Si lverstar 20:41, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Morningwing met his leaders gaze. "Frostfire," he said, gesturing his tail to the she-cat. "... has left RockClan to join us." —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 20:45, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

"Then I'll speak with her in my den," Swampstar responded before motioning to Frostfire to join him in his willow tree. The RockClan cat obeyed, gazing at the willow in an impressed manner before disappearing after Swampstar.Si lverstar 20:49, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Morningwing nodded, watching them go into the den. Hopefully he wouldn't refuse.... he was sure he wouldn't, but still, worry made him feel dizzy. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 20:53, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

After a quick few moments spent with the leader, Frostfire was accepted into the Clan. But what puzzled Swampstar was the fact that the she-cat had been made deputy...and then she suddenly decided to leave? Frostfire trotted out of the Leader's den, tail held high.Si lverstar 20:59, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Morningwing hurried to his paws when he heard pawsteps and scented Frostfire approaching. "How did it go?" he asked, eagerly. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 21:04, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

A small grin on her muzzle, Frostfire gently pushed Morningwing away with her paw. "Looks like I'm your Clanmate now."---- Meanwhile, Dusktiger watched the whole thing with great disgust. Of course, that rotten she-cat just had to join StormClan...now, Morningwing would never be the brother he used to be.Si lverstar 21:08, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Morningwing purred, nuzzling Frostfire's ear. "I can give you a tour of the territory tomorrow morning if you want. It's... pretty marshy... from what you already know," he knew Dusktiger was probably watching, angry and stuff... but he really didn't care. Couldn't his brother just get over it? Nothing was going to change how he felt about Frostfire.—patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 21:12, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

"Yeah, tomorrow morning would be better...I'm already covered in mud." The monochromatic tortoiseshell grunted before gently rubbing her forehead against the deputy's neck. "I'll hopefully be...a bit more clean by tomorrow, getting all of this out of my white fur could take quite some time."Si lverstar 21:15, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Morningwing nodded. "Right. I can make you your nest," he decided, turning to head towards the camp entrance. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 22:33, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

"I'll just...take a look around camp," Frostfire decided, angling her ears towards the Medicine Cat den. Well, with that herb-smell, it was quite easy to find...Si lverstar 23:06, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Morningwing left camp to gather moss. He found some fast and quickly, but carefully, ripped some up. Meanwhile, Feathersong realized the she-cat was Frostfire, the warrior Morningwing had been secretly meeting. She didn't look terrible... —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 23:12, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Frostfire curiously crept over to the Medicine Cat den, only to be trampled by the Medicine Cat herself. "Whoa! Who....Who am I sitting on?" Foggysky's sightless eyes darted around frantically, as if trying to spot this mysterious character.Si lverstar 23:14, November 2, 2016 (UTC)

Morningwing returned to camp with the bedding, and headed towards the warriors den. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 02:40, November 3, 2016 (UTC)

"I...I-I'm Frostfire." The little warrior wheezed as Foggysky jumped away. "Nice...to meet you."Si lverstar 02:45, November 3, 2016 (UTC)

Suddenly, Birdsoar woke, her stomach aching really bad... Oh no... She tried to shrug it off, but it only got worse. "...Bouldersnow!!!" --look me in the eye 03:31, November 3, 2016 (UTC)

"And you are?" Risingstorm asked in his deep voice, moving his burning blue gaze on Hawkkit. ----Bored, Meadowbee spotted a warrior, Talltail (whom she thought was kinda cute) and approached him. "Would you like to go hunting?" —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 02:28, November 4, 2016 (UTC)

"What?" Bouldersnow mewed nervously, only to hear a yowl in response. Great StarClan, she's kitting! Better find Foggysky! The tom started to panic as he hurried towards the medicine den. --look me in the eye 02:35, November 4, 2016 (UTC)

Meanwhile, Windstorm, feeling so confident with his new name, decided to go on an adventure outside of RockClan territory. He was careful to not set a paw on CaveClan's land, and kept moving farther and farther away from his home. He wanted to see StormClan. He had only heard about their marshes, never seen them... —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 13:56, November 6, 2016 (UTC)

Eventually, Birdsoar kitted two toms: a white one with darker points and a smaller black-and-white one. Soon after, Birdsoar and Bouldersnow named their sons: Sleetkit for the pointed kit, and Ravenkit for the black-and-white kit. --look me in the eye 18:51, November 6, 2016 (UTC)

Flyshade watched Sunshadow with golden eyes, silent but some yearning in them. The black tabby stepped toward Sunshadow.

Minnowpaw, still an apprentice, lashed her tail as she tramped through the muddy swamp.

Talltail looked up at Meadowbee. "Uh, sure." He said jumping up swiftly. (Insert Sarcasm)_{_{Bite Me, Dean!}} 22:11, November 6, 2016 (UTC)

Foggysky had been surprised by the call, but had eventually made her way into the nursery to help with the kitting. Now that the little ones had arrived, she slowly made her way back to her own den.

Sunshadow leaned away from the she-cat. "Erm, do you need something?"Si lverstar 23:28, November 6, 2016 (UTC)

Windstorm sniffed the air, tail tip twitching anxiously. Was he there? It was pretty muddy... from what he had heard, this is what he had always pictured marsh...

Nodding, Meadowbee padded out of camp, tail held high. She scented the air for prey as she walked. Darkfrost awoke in the warriors den, her shoulder throbbing with pain, and her eartip hurt. A few nests away, Shimmertail was already awake, cleaning a bloody paw. She flashed her denmate a cheeky smile. "I beat you, again." —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 03:50, November 7, 2016 (UTC)

Sleetkit and Ravenkit had opened their eyes, and now Birdsoar was trying to persuade a reluctant Ravenkit to venture out of the nursery. Sleetkit was already out there, and trying to sneak up on his father. --look me in the eye 03:57, November 10, 2016 (UTC)

Coastkit was escorted by her growing brothers, Raptorkit and Cypresskit, around camp. Hiddenshade and Shorepebble watched their daughter eagerly, hoping her leg would heal up just fine.Si lverstar 00:01, November 11, 2016 (UTC)

Darkfrost ignored Shimmertail and climbed out of her nest and zipped out of the warriors den, looking very flustered as she limped. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 23:44, November 13, 2016 (UTC)

Talltail lashed his tail as he stalked a vole. The tabby and white tom stalking slowly and quietly towards his unsuspecting prey. he had grown slightly involved with Meadowbee and expected to ask her within the next week to be his mate.

Flyshade flicked her ears towards Sunshadow. "How is RockClan faring prey-wise?" The smoke tabby asked. (Insert Sarcasm)_{_{Bite Me, Dean!}} 20:44, November 14, 2016 (UTC)

"Fine, the normal way...you'd know." Sunshadow mumbled under his breath.Si lverstar 20:53, November 14, 2016 (UTC)

Windstorm sniffed the air. Ugh... Was that apprentice he had met here...? Oh yeah... she probably was, she was StormClan. ---- Meadowbee tracked a thrush in a tree. She was just about to pounce when it made a sudden alarm call and fluttered away. She twitched her folded ears uneasily. —patchfeather^{. You're poison running through my veins} 00:13, November 15, 2016 (UTC)
