She didn't know if her friends missed her already yet, and she hadn't told anyone what would be happening to her after she took that step outside of camp. "That's n-nice." She squeaked, her green eyes still filled with fear as she looked around herself, frozen with a sudden feeling of dread. She just wanted to escape somewhere, to be free already.

"Unless you plan on trying to escape and ending your life, you have nothing to fear. Most here in Thunderclap are quite nice, especially to Starclan-loving mouse-brains not unlike yourself," he informed, noticing her shaky voice. He didn't really blame her for being scared. No, if he were as simple-minded as most cats were he would be afraid in her paws as well. However, he was not in her paws, and he was nowhere near as mouse-brained as she was, so he would never truly know how she felt at that moment. He then started pointing out where each of the dens were and where she could and couldn't go with or without him or his siblings. "You can go to the medicine den alone as long as you tell either me or one of my siblings. Same with the dirtplace," he informed.

He shrugged at the thought. There wasnt anything that as cats could do unless Starclan removed Snow as leader themselves. At the mention of Ratnight a small shiver ran down his spine. He had fought the battle against him, he could still hear the yowls ringing in his ears and the scent of blood flood his nose from that day. It was in the past, but he still held scars under his long pelt that held as a reminder. He decided to change the subject,¨Of course it will,¨ he gave a slight smile,¨Has anything else been happening with you? I usually dont see cats alone in the clearing there are so many now a days.¨ he mewed, which was true, there were many cats in their clan now that more and more kits were being born in the warmer seasons.

"Just some problems with a friend. I would normally be sitting with her, but..." His voice trailed off and he gave a helpless shrug as though to say 'what can I do?' Irritated at the thought that Spottedsong was probably out somewhere, running around and playing like there was no tomorrow. Everyone needed fun sometimes, yes, but that? That was just dumb. Unless she'd already been working, getting up before the sun could be seen over the horizon and colors of all hues were painting the sky. She'd done it before, Falconclaw wouldn't be surprised if she had done it again. "I don't talk to a lot of other cats. Just Spottedsong sometimes. I have an apprentice; but StarClan only knows where she is." He shrugged it off like it was nothing. They would probably train later today. Duskpaw was always disappearing... just like Spottedsong. He could always see Cloudrain, but he would prefer not to go back to the border right now. It made him feel absolutely awful. "What about you?" Falconclaw asked, his head tilted slightly to the right in a curious manner.

Oatpaw shook his head, "No, no, I'm fine." He assured the medicine cat while sliding deeper into the den. His pawsteps were light as to not rouse the sleeping patients, but it wasn't all that hard for him to keep quiet as he was a rather delicate young tom. He stopped in front of the herb store and right as he was lifting a paw to shift the out of place leaves he jumped a bit at Wheatfur's voice. "Oh, well I'm here to assist you." Oatpaw met the medicine cats gaze respectfully with gleaming silver eyes and stood tall as if they were equals, even though the older tom had much more skill, respect and experience. "That is if you'll allow me to. I don't want to step on your paws." Many saw him as a strange apprentice as he was so formal but often times would refuse to dip his head because he found it plain annoying when someone was acting superior, or worse, patronizing him.

Wheatfur sighed, "Good. So many cats have been coming in, and they've been messing up all thes- My, herbs. Its bloody annoying." He shook his head and turned towards the apprentice. "So you want to help? Thank you; But shouldn't you be out hunting, or training? Not in a stuffy den with a grump like me." He tilted his head, curious. The medicine cat was used to kits and apprentices being nice to him; he was like a fun uncle, but for a cat to come up and randomly start helping him? Strange, of course there was Remora, but she had experience, and he felt guilty for the chance of being a medicine cat apprentice being snatched away from her. Despite that, he started to put the apprentice to work. "Well you can start by sorting out the old herbs from the new, and if you find any mis-placed herbs, put them I the correct rock holes."

"Yeah, many cats tend to be annoying but luckily there's the others too." Oatpaw sat beside the medicine cat and eyed the plants carefully before looking back at him to answer the question. "It's simple really: I don't like training. The chores are fine but I don't like hunting or fighting." Now that that was out of the way he began following instructions, placing the stray herbs in the rock holes that had the same scent. The scent and overall ease in the den made a faint smile appear on his maw but it faded quickly. "I suppose you get many apprentices or kits in your den?" It was no secret that many others wanted to work as Wheatfurs apprentice.

His ear twitched at the mention of problems. Now he didnt know to many cats,mainly having a rather close friendgroup and keeping to them, little friends meant little problems. Though he was always open to help others though,to listen and possibly help with problems. ¨Well, if you ever want to talk about it Im always willing to listen to you Falcon.¨ he offered, he liked to help cats. He was as rather positive as it was and liked to be helpful to those around him. He looked at his paws and shrugged at the question,¨Nothing much honestly, training an apprentice, and warrior duties. My life is same old same old, pretty boring.¨ he sighed. His life was boring, not to much going on and its the same thing everyday. Wake up. Eat..Patrol. Training.Eat.Sleep. And then repeat it over and over again. Like stated he didnt have to many close friends, alot of them busy with their own things and such to simply take a stroll in the territory or go for a splash in a river as an adventure.

"Thanks, but I think you'd probably rather not hear me whining." Even if she is probably a traitor. The tom gave a sheepish smile to his companion. He hated to complain, but Spottedsong was beginning to get on his nerves. Much more of this and he would confront her instead of hinting around. He should have done it long ago. Where was Spottedsong, anyways? Probably gone again. She was such a horrible friend. Or at least, she had been to him. Why was he stuck with her? Self pity seemed to be something that Falconclaw wallowed in quite a bit. He was constantly feeling sorry for himself. Not the most desirable of traits, but one that was present with him anyways. Falconclaw nodded his head in agreement at Aime'Storm's comment about the daily routine. It seemed to be that way for everyone... sometimes there were cats talking to each other, but then they would leave. Eventually. Going on patrol or something... which just reminded Falconclaw that he needed to do something useful soon. "I understand what you mean. But hey-- you'll be lucky to keep your life normal. You could end up with a friend who will turn your life upside down." Truth be told, Falconclaw hadn't really thought about saying that before he spoke. But he realized that Spottedsong had turned his own life upside down. Would he do that to someone else? Well, no. Probably not.

Snowstar pushed her way through the Clan entrance, leading Finchcall and Stormstrike back inside. Her ice blue eyes were sharp and angry, her short white fur pricked up faintly. Not even bothering to try to calm herself, the Siamese strode across the clearing and leaped up onto the Highpeak with ease, getting fairly used to climbing her way to the top. Now with her eyes sharp and angry as she gazed down at her Clanmates, trying to catch her breath since she had basically run back. It was all she could do not to go back and give those rabbit-chasers what they deserved!

Taking a deep breath, she allowed her yowl to ring around the clearing. For once the usually friendly leader had no soft edge to her tone; Simply fury and frustration. "Cats of ThunderClan, gather beneath the Highpeak for a very important Clan meeting!" Her ice blue eyes were cold, her pupils nearly slits, and it was all she could do not to dig her claws into the stone. But she had to calm down, right? Why did she feel so frustrated? And thinking about being frustrated only made her more frustrated. But it didnt matter. What mattered was that she wasnt going to stand by and allow WindClan to get away with murder.

Thrushwing had heard the calling and bounded for the highrock. 'What happened?' He thought, looking up towards the leader.

Fireclaw patted out of the warriors den and sat under the Highrock and looked up, "Shes frustrated." She thought

[Starfall]

The ink colored warrior poked his head out the Warriors den, his silver orbs gave nothing away, his postiure gave nothing away. His eyes were dull and almost seemed lifeless. He padded out of the den, his brother quickly followed suit. The golden warrior and the black warrior walked side by side, their strides identical. The brawnier, more muscular one looked around, his blue orbs flickered with curiosity. "Hey.... do you think something happened?" he whispered to his brother, his voice low "I heard rumors that Hiddentalon died...do you think it's true?" Dayhum asked, his tail tip flicked back and fourth. He had a feeling his brother would know, he always did, and somethimes that scared the golden warrior.
"We'll see once Snowstar tells us the meaning behind this meeting." he answered cooly, his silver orbs lickered with untold emotions. Something was wrong, he had never seen the leader so upset, her eyes blazed with anger, Nightcry could tell that his brother could sense it as well, something had gone wrong in the meeting with the Windclan leader.
