RiverClan Territory

[|+sari+|]

*EmeraldNight leads HerringPaw towards a berry bush, and stps in front of it, turning to him* Here are some delicious berries. I eat them all the time. Whenever I am sad or need to think, I come here to eat berries and contemplate *she raises her paw and wraps her claws around a berry, then pulls it off and sets it on the ground. She then bends her head down, and eats the berry slowly, her eyes closed happily*

Tinypaw hadn't ever been so filled with adrenaline and excitement as she was now. Her eyes were huge and bright as she looked every direction, wishing she had eyes on the back of her head for a moment so she could see everything at once. Bouncing in her pawsteps, Tinypaw was more excited than she'd been in quite a long time. "I can't wait to see the river!" She exclaimed, having to take many more steps to keep up with Dappleblossom due to her shortened limbs. She was getting a bit tired, but her excitement kept her going. "I'm soo excited," she meowed, her ears swivelling in different directions to catch every sound, determined to soak up this wonderful experience as much she could to remember it forever. Suddenly, her nose caught on to the scent of what smelled like a mouse. Her eyes widened and smiled broadly. "I smell something!" She shout-whispered to her new mentor. "I don't know what it is; but it smells good." Tinypaw looked up at Dappleblossom for further instructions; particularly whether or not to go after it.

Each step was a battle, as she lifted her leg out of the deep slush, more of the white powder caking her leg with each movement. In, out, in, out; every step she grew more exhausted, but still she moved, far too stubborn to stop. She kept her eyes locked on a far off shrub, each time forcing herself to stumble towards in, and then keep moving. Her nose was dripping, the fluid then freezing on the inside of her nostrils, forming a freezing layer of ice. She flared her nostrils, the small icicles cracking, and some falling off, but it still remained, a thick layer of sleet. She flicked her ears, bothered at the feeling of being unable to smell, or even test the temperature of the air.

She looked sidelong at Swampstone, as he slogged around beside her. He seemed to be doing alright, if but a bit tired. He seemed to even be slightly plumper than her, but she knew better; his pelt was simply thick and furry, making him seem a good bit larger than he actually was. And, to her surprise, he looked surprisingly comfortable; or maybe it was simply his mind drifting. She couldn't quite tell, due to her eyes blurring from the cold, but she hoped he was alright. Her feathery, dense tail whispered through the air behind her as she walked, due to her amusement of Swampstone. Cloversplash smiled at her; he was a dear friend, although they were not terribly close. She hoped that, even just during a patrol in the freezing cold, they could grow closer as friends. A smile pulled the corners of her lips up, and she watched him for a moment more.

"I really don't blame you. At this point, I just wish that we could have anything to eat- I'd take a frog or lizard, even. I mean, we're not ShadowClan or anything, but starving is not fun. Maybe we could find a marsh or bog to store food in? Don't those stay cold all year?" she mewed, voice directed towards Swampstone, her throat hoarse from the cold air, turning her voice to a rasping mess.

Swampstone slowly move forward, pushing his legs through the heavy snow with each step. If they were smart, one would walk in front of the other to make a path and the other would walk behind, but it seemed as if both were too stubborn to let the snow win. The snow caked in his long fur, weighing him down and making him slower; as well as making him frustrated. However, the conversation reminded him they were susposed to be hunting, so he opened his mouth and took in a large breath in of cold air, ignoring the uncomfortable feeling of it cooling his insides. They were RiverClan cats, and used to hunting in the river, but everything was frozen this time of the year. He knew they'd have to resort to hunting land prey. There might be water vole near the river. He thought, but kept it to himself for now.

The tom caught sight of Cloversplash looking at him from the corner of his eyes, and he turned his head slightly to meet her gaze. He couldn't tell if he was bothered by the fact that she seemed amused by him, or if her amusement was amusing to him. After a few moments, the corners of his mouth drifted upward naturally in response to her smile, and even though he didn't smile often, it seemed natural on his features. He didn't have a lot of cats to smile at because he didn't know many of them, but he figured he knew Cloversplash enough that he could relax a bit around her and be himself.

"They may be frozen in these temperatures," He replied. "Though, I doubt we'll need to hide any of the prey if we even manage to find anything out here." It was a bit of a negative thing to say, and realizing that, he continued. "I do hope we find something, though, it'd be nice to bring Applethorn or one of the elders something fresh to eat." The warrior paused for a moment or two of comfortable silence. "Maybe we should go to the river? It's a little bit sunny, so there may be prey out sunning themselves in the open areas."

The kit ran out, farther and farther. He plopped down in the snow and started crying

(and here's my other River kitty)
What looked like a bundle of twigs and sticks opened her amber eyes and looked down at the small cat from her favorite sleeping spot. "Take your wailing someplace else!" she called, thinking he was an apprentice.

The kit looked up with big eyes and then continued crying "I want to die!"

"Then do it and shut up already!"

He sobbed and ran as fast as he could. He stopped at the bank of the river

(ehhh, why are my cats so grumpy???? I need to get--oh, nevermind. Here she is.)
Goldpaw heard Riverstrike's yowl and headed in that direction. "Go to the elders den before you scare off the rest of the prey with your screeches!" she called up at the older she-cat.

Riverstrike growled and shifted in her tree, but quieted down.

He jumped in and immediately sunk to the bottom
