[ I'm going to be honest I know these replies are not my best work and I apologize. Things have been a bit difficult lately, so I thank you all for your patience as I work through some funky-ness with my posts ]

The black cat sighed, he squeezed his eyes shut, he'd hope she'd understand.

Cinderstar
Padding through the territory, the silver bengal paused briefly when a voice reached her ears. The scent was familiar too, and she turned her head in time to be met face to face with Blackjaw. He jumped into an explanation right away, and already it made the leader disappointed. If he thought catching prey would make up for the excuse he just gave, he was mistaken. "I am well aware that Clan life can "get to you", but that is no excuse to leave your Clan. You swore an oath when you became a warrior to protect and defend ThunderClan. Does that vow mean nothing to you?"

As Softpaw was hugged by Cinderstar [With no time to process that Cinderstar was there, but oh well], she felt a bit of relief, she was with her mom again but also was not immediately grounded for all eternity, now. . .the explanation.

' 'I went out on my own for a bit due some stress, which I know you're not supposed to do but I'd done it plenty of times before and was fine all things considered, but I must've gone out of the territory or, twolegs are in our territory, because I somehow managed to get snagged by some. . .if you couldn't tell by this annoying thing around my neck.' '

She did show slight annoyance in her tone at the end of the sentence, but it wasn't directed at Cinderstar, more so at the stupid butterfly neck thing. ' 'You can ground me for all eternity if needed.' ' Softpaw knew she didn't need to add that last bit, but she did anyway, just so her mom knew there'd be no hard feelings if she was stuck in the apprentices den forever, or the leaders den if she really decided to go down the overprotective mom route.

Cinderstar
After a moment or two, Cinderstar untangled herself from the hug - but not before delivering a few swift licks to the top of Softpaw's head. Stars, she was glad the young she-cat was alright.

Although she did frown at the revelation that Softpaw had gone out on her own. "Just because you have broken a rule plenty of times before with no reprimanding does not mean you should keep doing it. You could have been seriously injured, Softpaw, or wose." And Cinderstar did not want to think of that; the mere image made her flatten her ears.

But all that mattered really at this moment was that she was back. With a soft sigh, Cinderstar examined the bow for a bit before reaching forward gingerly at where it appeared to come together. After some gentle tugging, she managed to loosen it up enough to where it eventually fell off of Softpaw's neck. "Next time you go out without another cat present I'll be moving you back into the nursery," she stated, though her whiskers twitched as a smile drew over her face, showing that she was not really serious in the "threat".

"Let's get you back home, alright? You're not grounded - but I will be keeping a better eye on you. No more solo trips into the territory, alright?" With that, Cinderstar nodded her head to beckon her daughter to follow her back to camp.

[ Done! I'll pull Softpaw out from the missing ]

And yes, I was surprised myself at how well the Twolegs handled my leg." Larkstorm flicked her ear, wondering who was the new leader of ThunderClan. Surely they wouldn't give the role back to Necterflame? But Larkstorm was shocked to hear Cindersky's next words. Cinderstar! That's amazing." The she-cat dipped her head to Cinderstar, realizing she hadn't been giving the ThunderClan leader the respect she deserved. "I'm glad you were chosen, and Sparrowflight must be a great deputy. If you two are leading ThunderClan, then it will be like old times. I am back in ThunderClan, right?" Larkstorm hoped Cinderstar would say yes.

Cinderstar
It always made heat rush to her face in a flood of embarrassment when her Clanmates seemed to hold her to a high esteem. Cinderstar held a lot of confidence and belief in herself since the last few moons, but it was still a bit.. odd to be a leader. Nonetheless, she dipped her head and returned the smile towards Larkstorm in appreciation. "Thank you, Larkstorm. Yes, we are trying as best we can to make sure that all of ThunderClan works together to becoming more united than we have been in the past." At her second question, she gave a nod. "Yes. Come, I can take you back to camp."

[ Done! I'll pull Larkstorm from the missing ]

A nimble black cat padded into the territory, was that... The smell of home? The thing she had disappeared from all those moons ago? Yes! That was one smell she could not forget. Home. Blue eyes flicking around, even this being home, barely anyone would recognize her scent, she stunk of crow-food and the thunderpath, but that could be easily washed off I hope to starclan they remember me the she thought, still trying to find somecat. The she soon saw cinderstar and hurried over "hello! I'm not sure if I know you yet, but I am shadefur, I dissapeared... I don't remember how many moons ago, pesky twolegs!" She cursed at herself internally for her poor social skills and memory issues

(Shadefur lol-)

[ Hi! Shadefur is no longer on the missing list which means you're welcome to resubmit her without a rejoining. If you would still like to do a rejoining, let me know and I'll add it to the next batch ]

Cinderstar
Frustration aided the headache growing inside the silver bengal's head. "You should know better than to chase a rogue into the outskirts. Once they are off ThunderClan territory, they are no longer our responsibility to challenge." She really should demote the two warriors to apprentices for such a lapse in judgement, but for now she'd let them off with a warning. [B]"Do not do such a foolish thing again. Come, I can take you back to camp."

[ Done! I'll pull Swiftheart from the missing. I can't seen to find Snowfur on the missing list so just go ahead and resubmit her! ]

/ Sorry for replying to your entire post! I am on a phone and can't delete things right unless I want to hold down the delete button for a while. Also sorry for being late to reply. Ever since my normal role-playing friend, peepaw, stopped replying to our usual threads, I've slowly lost interest in this. I apologize for anything I am late to. \

Emberkit looked up at Cinderstar. "I don't know! It's the butterflies! They are so cool with their wings and such! I'll never be an apprentice!" She cried again, backing up from the ThunderClan leader. She was in so much trouble now. She had to be.

Cinderstar
Letting out a soft sigh, the leader shook her head. "I'm not mad. But you need to understand there are dangerous out here. If you keep running off and chasing butterflies, how are we suppose to keep you safe? You need to remain in the camp at all times until you are an apprentice and assigned a mentor." If it happened again, Cinderstar would see to it that the kits ceremony was delayed, but for now she'd just give them a reminder. "Come on, Emberkit. Let's head back, alright?"

[ Done! I will pull Emberkit from the missing ]

The Siamese was haunted with every step she came closer to her home. The claws that had pierced her neck and back were raking her back with their ghostly grip. Her pelt was healed from infections and her flesh was purified from rot, but her heart and mind were tainted. The memories kept coming back with a pained fury. She couldnt forget the terror. It wanted to find camp. It wanted to find.... Someone.

Dying was growing old. Number two. It was.... Dark. It was scary. To die. But she kept coming back and she hated it. She hated having to come back. She came back of course, for Rainhound. She wouldn't bother going through life and death again if there wasn't the prospect of starting a family with her love. Of growing old with her. Houndspirit stopped shakily, her pale face and blank eyes searching the undergrowth. Someone was coming. Her heart hammered her chest and the thin molly unsheathed her claws. Just in case.

Cinderstar
Moving along the edge of the territory and swiftly checking the border. She brushed up along the barks of trees and past the tall undergrowth to enhance the scent markers with their shared border at the outskirts. With the increase in rogues, Cinderstar wanted to make it known that they were not welcome on ThunderClan territory.

Of course in doing this she often came across cats who had gone missing and were looking to return. But as she emerged from the undergrowth to find Houndspirit, Cinderstar slowed her pace - she had not been expecting the she-cat to go missing again. Something about her appeared different, and in her gut a claw pierced down the side. "Houndspirit, what happened to you?" she questioned as she stopped just before the she-cat, a worried gleam in her gaze.

The gray tom wasn't getting younger. He'd been away from ThunderClan for a multitude of moons since the whole thing with Nectarflame kicking everyone out went down. He had to be at least in his mid-forties. His kids . . . They must have become warriors. Oh, how he missed them. As he smelled the familiar border he'd cowardly stared at too many times in fear to return without his pride, he wavered before finally stepping over it and weaving through some trees before warily sitting down to wait for someone. He didn't want to seem hostile, that was the last thing he wanted. He reeked of rogue and was aware of it, it sickened him how afraid he'd been to return. Now he'd missed too much with his family. They might not want him there anymore. And what if Nectarflame or someone like her was in charge? Would he be able to stay? He wondered about a billion different horrid scenarios before snapping himself out of it and staring into the brush around him to try and spot anycat around. "Please hurry . . ." he muttered without thinking.

Cinderstar
Padding through ThunderClan's territory, Cinderstar was quick to pick up on a scent that didn't belong near the outer layer. Fur bristling slightly she quickened her pace, until finally emerging from the bushes to face a... rather familiar cat. Their scent was clearly from beyond Clan territory, but she knew this cat. In an instance her fur went flat and eyes just a little wide in surprise. "Graysquirrel? Where in the name of StarClan have you been?" He hadn't been seen in camp since leaf-bare - where had he gone off to??
