The large tabby cleared her throat before entering.
"Welcome back, Bumblestar. I trust it went well?" she dipped her head before moving on to the topic at paw. "I just wanted to let you know things went well here. I had a few cats round up the kits as you instructed,. Rainfall seemed to have disappeared, so I had Houndchaser look for her inside camp walls, and... nothing. She's not in camp and hasn't showed up. My best guess is she went missing and I don't expect to see her around in the near future. I had Spiderthroat and Roseraven see if there was a dire need for herbs and then tidy up the dens if there was none. I also stationed guards for the night for security reasons and allowed anyone to hunt because StarClan knows we need food, so long as they informed me beforehand so I knew who was in the camp in case a problem came up."
She dipped her head once more before sitting down. "Last but not least... I didn't want any arguments to break out so I had anyone who wished to speak more on last night's meeting come speak with you directly." That just about covered it, so the young she-cat fell silent to listen to what her leader had to say. |
Bumblestar was just finishing up moving her nest—
again—when Flameheart stepped into the den. The smaller she-cat glanced up from her moss kneading and gave Flameheart an grateful nod, just barely managing to stifle the proud grin that threatened to take over her features at hearing the new name from someone else's mouth.
"It went fine, yeah. Shame about Rainfall, I'll have to get another forever queen in place." She was a
tad miffed the Head Keeper had given the search job to Houndchaser, of all cats, but... whatever. They'd proven useful, at least, despite their nonsensical words during the last meeting.
"Thanks for keeping things from collapsing around here. Knew I could count on you. If that's it, you're good to go."

They didn’t even wished to talk about it, yet they had to tell someone and Bumblebreak was that somebody. “ Bumblestar? Is it ‘star now? I…I…have something to explain and warn you about. I- We were kidnapped. Me and what I believe to be, a riverclan apprentice…I don’t remember how or why…but I…” no. they didn’t want to talk about it. who would want to say those words? Houndchaser didn’t even want to be in here anymore. They felt the sickness and the memories of just a few hours ago come back up. The warriors blue eyes search the ground, gaze refusing to meet the leaders as they took a hard gulps their ears now pinned as a paw touch’s the tip of their muzzle. “ It…” switching topic as they felt the sickness and bile taste now to begin to rise. “ The child is safe, I left them at the border. I came to report back to you that the outsider has been dealt with..I just….I didn’t want to…I ” Their voice trailed off, eyes now closed as they try to think of something much happier while waiting for the leader’s response, the blood on their paws now sure to stain the dirt below them.

What the- Bumblestar's ears swiveled forward as Houndchaser appeared in her den, bloodied and looking rather ill. Her shocked eyes stared them down for a moment, not even sure how to respond to something like this.
"I- Great StarClan." She had to fish for the words. How did something like this even happen? A kidnapping??
"...Tell me where this happened, and then go to Roseraven and Spiderthroat immediately." They looked as if they were about to be sick, and she really didn't want to deal with that in her brand-new den.
