★ Thistlerose ★
Thistlerose dragged herself back into the forest she had always called home, exhausted. She knew she would have to answer to Aspenstar for leaving, but she had just been trying to find her apprentice, Shatteredpaw, who had disappeared. The brown tabby she-cat felt responsible for him—he had been her apprentice, after all—but after seeing the moon go from black to nearly full again, she knew it was time to return and accept that something had happened to him. There were all manners of things that could happen to a young cat, and she didn’t really feel like thinking about them now.
Her large ears perked to try to hear anyone approaching. She wasn’t sure how she’d be taken by the others now, or by Aspenstar. Hopefully they would be understanding and allow her back into the Clan. Thistlerose didn’t know what she’d do if they didn’t, since ThunderClan was the only home she had ever known, and as a grown warrior it would be difficult to readjust to another Clan.
