By the time Fallownose reached Twilightstar's den with the two unruly apprentices he had calmed down, although it was clear he was still annoyed by the lashing of his tail. He paused briefly to make sure the leader wasn't doing anything important before padding completely into her den, beckoning Tigerpaw and Foxpaw to follow.
"Twilightstar, I caught these two on ThunderClan territory talking about how they were going to spy on them. I'll let them explain why they thought their foolishness was a good idea, but I figured you would want to be the one to give them their punishments."

The brown tom's paws followed the usual path towards the Riverclan border as he went about his duties. Trouble rarely arose with this clan and his, but it was shear principal he'd have to check anyway. Though even before he reached the border, he could feel an unusually strong scent of the fish eaters. "Are you waiting for someone?" He asked the Riverclanner who seemed to simply stand there. "Though I presume it's not me. I am simply asking out of curiosity you see." His voice was clam with a polite friendliness to it as he approached the molly, but he was still careful not to let his guard down too much. They had good relations with the other clan, and he wished it to remain that way, but blind trust was never the way he had done things.

Tigerpaw's half torn face showed more anger as she followed Fallownose to the leader's den. Her right ear was pinned back and her left eye was a tiny slit. She growled often. Well... after this, I am talking to Raypaw. I haven't seen him in a while. The orange tabby apprentice thought as she waited for Twilightstar.
The young molly bounded off. "It's only two!" She said to herself. She sniffed the air. Mouse. She got down in a hunting crouch. Once she was close enough, she pounced. She killed it with a quick bite. She kicked dirt over it so she could get it later. She moved on. Hm... Vole! She thought, seeing a plump, juicy vole. She got down again. She got close, but too close. She pounced, but the vole got out alive. "Fox-dung!" She hissed. She decided to just lounge around, waiting for another prey item. After a few minutes she moved on when nothing showed up. As she was moving close to where she first got her prey, she froze. She creeped out of the bushes. Rabbit! She slowly crept twords it. When she was about two tail-lengths from it, she pounced. She landed near it, causing it to run off. She chased after it, catching up. She braced herself and sprung as high as she could. She landed right on the rabbit! She killed it with a bite. She smiled. Hunting was a sucess! She brought the rabbit to where she caught the mouse. She dug it up and brought them back to camp.

The speckled kit had been sitting there, outside the nursery, glaring at the leader's den for about an hour, just trying to get her head and body to agree on either going there or back in the nursery. Because she had quite the conflict over this with herself about if or not she should enter the leader's den. On one paw, she HATED feeling like she was in the way of... anyone, really, and this was Twilightstar herself, the most important cat in all of the clans, so they would probably hate it two if Berrykit came strutting into the den.
... but...
if she had the courage to do that, even if she got punished over it, going up to other kits, and even apprentices, would be a piece of cake after that. In fact, many things would seem easy compared to that, sleeping alone in the dark, talking to anyone, all that would be way less scary because at least it wouldn't be this. So that was her dilemma. Either do something real scary now, swallow whatever punishment you get, and don't be scared for a good while after that, or be scared after this, but at least not this much.
She scoffed to herself a little. What was she, some kind of coward? No no, she could be brave, like the other kits. Really, just watch!
And so, she stood up, and began to force her stale, scrawny legs to move forwards. The path over to the leader's den seemed endless and way too short at the same time, and when she finally stood in front of it, she swallowed one last time, almost went and reconsidered all this, before popping on her head. "Twili-" Ofh, her voice sounded so squeaky when she hadn't spoken in a while. She cleared her throat a little and tried again. "Twilight? Are... are you busy?" She should probably have planned better things to say before she came here, hu? Well, no backing out now.
It was concerning. Two fox attacks so close to each other, and in the middle of newleaf. The dead one had been described to him as on the younger side, but if they were mates, and they had killed of the father, it could mean a little of fox kits were somewhere on or around their land, which could become very problematic in the future. And anything that could be a theat to Windclan was something Owlglide would need to take care of as soon as possible.
So with heavy steps, the brown tomcat padded towards the leader's den. He had important things to report about, and it would have to be taken care of swiftly. One fox was bad enough, but two were even worse. First Swiftleap had almost died fighting one, now one kit's life was on the line, and two more could have been dead if he and the others hadn't been nearby when the fox attacked.
Owlglide was never one to show emotions strong than clan joy, worry, or irritation, and he wasn't about to hysterically burst into Twilighstar's den. But he was protective of his clan, and if anything threatened them, be that Shadowclan, hunger, or foxes, he wasn't one to just stand around doing nothing.
"Twilighstar?" He mewed, stopping right outside the den and dipping his head. "I have something... rather concerning to report about, and I fear it could become even more of a danger to Windclan if not taken care of. Because I've spotted not one, but two foxes on our land. First one attacked Swiftleap when he was out with Cloudwillow, and today Speckledkit and two other kits would have been mauled to pieces if I and a few other warriors hadn't been there to drive the fox away."
"So while one is dead now, and the other one sent of blinded and with a possible limp, I would still have plans to take care of this." It was quite a long explanation, but the details were necessary for his leader to get an overview of the situation, and he didn't want to by accident keep anything away from Twilightstar.
The WindClan leader was resting on her side, eye shut, as tail swaying back and forth behind her. Her head hurt, nothing serious, she's had headaches and migraines for as long as she's remembered. She hadn't a clue what brought this one on, but her den was quiet and peaceful, currently and she was hoping the pounding in her skull would settle if she laid down for long enough. As of now, not much has changed. She gave up on rest after a lot of shifting and uncomfortable positions. The pain was crippling or overwhelming, just pestering, she see about talking to Cowpaw later if it persisted.
Both her ears flickered as she sat up and heard some squeaky call coming from the entrance of her den. Twilightstar took a moment, taking a deep breath and releasing the air through her nose, and then stood up. She stretched as she began making her way to the entrance of her den. Upon stepping outside she was greeted by the sight of a white and cream kit with heterochromia. The fact that she called her Twilight was somewhat amusing, Twilightstar has acquired stranger nicknames over her moons as WindClan's leader.
"Berrykit, what can I help you with?" Twilightstar questioned, leaning down a bit so it was easier to talk to the kit. She could ignore her head without a problem when it came to tending to her clanmates and their problems. Berrykit didn't appear particularly distressed, perhaps nervous, but nothing Twilightstar felt she should be incredibly worried about. She waited quietly for the kit's answer while glancing around her to check on the cats and the clearing in the meantime.
-----
Her attention was claimed at the call of her name just outside her den. Noting that it was one of her warriors, she left her nest behind and padded over to the entrance of the den. She dipped her head in a wordlessly greeting to the brown warrior a serious glint in his green eyes. Her tail twitched in a silent sign of worry as Owlglide immediately started off by stating he had something concerning to report. Twilightstar was just hoping that it didn't involve death or ShadowClan. Shockingly enough, it did not involve either, just some close calls and foxes. It was hard to say if that was better or worse.
"I assuming no one was hurt too badly?" Twilightstar asked once Owlglide had finished with his report. There were a few other questions that jumped into her head while he was speaking, but she held off on them in favor of ensuring her clanmates' safety.
"You said that one fox was killed and the other injuries but driven off, do you know what direction it went in?" Twilightstar was already formulating a plan to have a patrol sweep the territory, but in case the fox crossed into another clan's territory she'd have to inform the other clan as soon as possible. She was not looking forward to dealing with an incident like ThunderClan. Neglecting to tell another clan, regardless of who, that predatory was driven into their territory would cause them more problems than necessary.
"As pleased as I am to hear that our kits were kept safe, do you know who the other kits that were out besides Specklekit and why they weren't in camp?" That was no reason for kits to be outside of camp without permission. It sounds like these kits were off on some sort of adventure and ran into a fox if she was inferring correctly. If that was true they not only put themselves in danger but the warriors as well.

Twilightstar narrowed her eye as the tall gray deputy padded into her den with the company. Her frown grew in size as soon as she made out Tigerpaw's pelt. What did she do now? Tigerpaw always seemed to be getting up to trouble whether it was finding predators to fight with or strange dead animals on the territory. Twilightstar had been hoping a switch in mentors would keep her out of it, but apparently not.
"They what?" A low growl bubbled from her chest as shot a pointed glare at the pair. "What in StarClan's name made you think that trespassing in ThunderClan's territory to spy was a good idea?" Twilightstar didn't need to raise her voice to make her ire know. The she-cat hackles have risen and her tail lashing sharply behind her. What was with these apprentices?!. It's like they were purposely trying to stir up unnecessary risks.
"Not only were you being reckless, violating the code, roaming without a warrior, and being utterly absurd, but you put yourself and WindClan in a precarious situation. You don't even know your way through ThunderClan's territory at all. I hope you didn't go too deeply into the territory and that Fallownose was the only one who spotted you." If ThunderClan picked up WindClan's scent beyond their borders, although she'd like to think they would not be dense enough to pick a fight with them or jump to prey stealing; unfortunately with the leaderless state ThunderClan was in at the moment who knew what they'd do. The commotion they'd caused at the last gathering, and the fact they had pretty much picked a fight with her there were worrisome enough. She wasn't going to get started on their apprentices.
For now, she hoped ThunderClan didn't notice anything. Twilightstar would have to think of some sort of excuse that didn't make WindClan look ridiculous and incompetent if it was brought up. Taking in Tigerpaw's grumpy expression, obviously, she was going to have to come up with a harsh enough punishment to ensure she got her point across.

Moonsoot :He/Him: (Plan on deleting that joining post after this)
“Twilight?” He spoke lower than before,his green eye adjusted to the slightly darker den. He stared at the molly. “It’s been a while,hasn’t it.” He mumbled,his scar littered pelt was still sort of covered in dirt and other small pieces of dirt and the ground. Moonsoot had just been in starclan and now he was back alive? Was he just back now? As if nothing had happened or that it had been around 10 moons. His green eye laying on his paws. His pelt was scarred now,from the wounds that had been from the vultures. He wondered if Twilightstar was okay,Okay after having Kits then having had to still take on leader duties,it was the one day where He saw He in pain and Dawnstar be kind towards his leader and clanmates. He wondered how it would see her again ,for her to see him back from the dead. It was scary for him to think about,right now he had a son to get back too and a clan to defend.

The tabby orange apprentice growled. This was her third time in the leader's den. Now she really wanted to ask StarClan what they wanted her to do. I just cause trouble wherever I go. Maybe I can benefit the Clan if I leave. She looked at Twilightstar straight in the eyes. "Twilightstar." She mewed slowly, not looking away, every emotion leaving Tigerpaw's body. "Do you wish for me to leave the Clan? It seems that I cause trouble wherever I go. I feel like I'm putting the Clan at risk with my stupid and risky ideas. So I am asking you this right now: Would it be better for everyone if I leave WindClan?" She didn't care what the leader's answer was. She needed to know. Once she got her answer, she will think about it for a few days, tell Raypaw and Whitefeather what she might do, and then choose.
Rose'kit noticed movement. She then moved over to her favorite corner that she noticed the movement and scented Flame'kit. He was a gruffy kit, but he was quiet so she approached him.
"Hi." she mewed and her not-seeing eyes looking at him but not knowing. @Rogueheart
