She placed a paw on the squirrel and started gnawing on its back with a purr definitely better then lizards and rats... . Her green orbs looked around the camp not expecting anyone to walk up to her which they never do. But she didn't mind .she was happy being the introvert she is.

Wishtail stalked into the Shadowclan clearing, her haunches swaying sassily. A large squirrel and two mice hung from her mouth, and she proudly slunk under the brambles guarding camp. Hoisting her kills high into the air, her eyes glimmering, she proudly deposited them on the fresh kill pile. Waiting a few moments, she turned and walked away, dust spraying from her paws and she trotted over to the shadow of a large pine tree nearby. Laying down, she began to groom one paw drowsily, trying to look bored and unhappy at the same time. Catching sight of a calico, who was busily ingorging herself in the backfur of a squirrel, Wishtail slowly arose and approached.
“Hello,” She said coolly, her voice slick as a fox.

Her left ear flicked upon hearing the ' hello ' from another she cat thus making her eyes look up at the molly who the voice belonged to a smile formed on her face now pulling her head up from the squirrel and licked her lips clean " hello . Hot day isn't it? " she meowed with a sigh afterwards she herself was starting to feel the effects of the heat from the sun even while laying in the shade ! She herself disliked heat and humidity but she dealed with it anyways with some complaints here and there .although she disliked admitting it but she does complain a lot , it was hard for her to find the good things out of everything . Basilwish's whiskers twitched now looking around that familiar nervous feeling returning to her but she tried to make conversation the best she could with anyone she met even if she was nervous . She looked back at the molly " what's your name again ? Some with tail at the end I think... " she said squinting her eyes in thought she swore she's heard of this molly name before but she never talks to anyone so it would be safe to just ask. @Silver Fishie

She was nervous. She didn't know how to tell Moondancer yet so maybe she should tell Jaysong? The feline did help raise her when Moondancer was busy as deputy. Yes. That would work. The white spotted feline nodded to herself, her tail tip twitching happily at the idea. Now she just had to find her. Pearldance rose to her paws, already she was feeling heavier. She knew she was expecting Onyxheart's kittens, but with his disappearance, she was devastated. He was the feline she went to for everything. The only feline that would attempt to communicate with her and now he was gone.

That aside, Pearldance walked away from the spot she was sun bathing in and looked for her grandmother, her icy hues searching desperately. She needed to do this while she was determined to.

Once landing back on the earth with a thud, it was immediately clear she was going to need to move areas. Her weight hitting the ground, however quiet, would send vibrations through it that would push the mice into their burrows, and the branch cracking and crashing to the ground would keep a lot of prey in their dens until they thought it was safe. Snowpaw crept around the nearby patch of thickets, her tail high and her paws light footed to ensure that she would not disturb any telltale branches. Upon reaching a spot that was out of earshot of her previous catch, the she-cat lowered her tail more and crouched, beginning to glance around for possible prey. A small flicker in the brambles about a foot across from her caught her eye. She parted her jaws a sliver, scenting mice- a family, actually. There was no need to kill the whole family, but she might be able to catch one or two. Paws light, she assumed her best mouse stalking position and began to slowly and quietly creeping forwards, avoiding any dry leaves or sticks. As soon as she could hear a faint squeaking, she stopped, swiveling her ears to face the sound and not moving a muscle. Straining her eyes, she caught a glimpse of brown fur, moving casually throughout the bramble bush, as though it was not being hunted. Perfect. She was practically nose to nose with the thorns now, one dangerously close to her muzzle. Eyes narrowed, she made a purposeful sound with her tail to get the mice out of the thorns, leaping forwards immediately. Her calculations were correct; by leaping forwards as soon as she flicked the ferns with her tail, the mice had leaped as well, and she had two of them beneath her paws that were easy catches. Snapping their windpipe, she buried the prey and looked around expectantly for Shadetail to begin the battle portion.

The warm feeling of admiration that had begun in Shadetail's heart only grew as he watched Snowpaw expertly call the mice out of their hiding place and time her leap correctly. It was what a warrior would do while hunting - an apprentice would've rushed head first into their hiding place. She's already passed in my book, he thought to himself, yellow eyes glowing from where he hid in some nearby bush thickets. He was sure to keep his body still and calm as she looked up, obviously searching for him to start the battle portion, but the gray tabby had a different thought on how to approach it. Most mentors would reveal themselves and waste the element of surprise. Shadetail wanted Snowpaw to be ready to any possible scenario - and that included any surprise attack that might come her way. Despite the Dusk Syndicate being disbanded, this would come in handy should the younger molly ever face one, as they were keen on using their stealth and shock factor to their advantage.

His movements were silence as he slunk closer, each limb moving fluidly across the dirt terrain. Shadows worked in Shadetail's favor, and for once the tom was thankful that his pelt was short and thin, making it possible to fit through tinier crawl spaces. Once he was in the same thorn bush that Snowpaw had been hiding in, he gathered his haunches, eyes deadlocked on her snowy-white flank. It would be a shock indeed to her, but the warrior knew she would be able to handle it. They had practice surprise ambushes during their training enough times for Shadetail to be sure of this. Without any warning, he lept forward, long sheathed claws extended and aiming for Snowpaw's exposed flank. His yellow eyes were narrowed in concentration as he flew like a bullet from the bushes, pelting towards his apprentice's side in an effort to connect and bowl her over, and perhaps pin her once he'd caught her off guard.

Shiverkit stepped out of the nursery, stretching out his sore muscles. The tiny tomkit wasn’t let out of the nursery often, along with his littermates. That was mainly due to their smaller size, and physical disabilities. Shiverkit’s mother, Cottonfrost, had been quite old when giving birth to her final litter of kits, causing them to be born a bit prematurely and come out smaller than your average kit.
The white-furred kit flicked his ears, sitting down and blankly staring out into the clearing. His ears twitched with every sound he heard, the patter of pawsteps, the murmurs of the other cats, and his nose moved as he took in the scents. The was the blind kit’s way of seeing, of being able to identify the things around him. He’d never seen colors, or anything of that sort, but his father was one of the best cats to describe things. And he’d described a lot of things pretty well to Shiverkit. Today, Shiverkit had stepped out of the nursery alone, hoping to learn some things for himself. He was very independent, and he wanted an adventure. He hated being watched by his parents. Even though he was blind, he could still feel cat’s gazes in him.

Camp life had been rather boring as of late for Rosepaw, with her sister busy learning and her other friends focused on training. There wasn't a lot for her to do in between her apprentice duties and training with Crowheart. The promise to play a small prank on Daydream seemed to be fading more and more each day as her sister delved further into the herb world, and it put the gray-and-cream colored molly in a rather sour mood. She kicked a pebble that was in her way as she padded around camp aimlessly. She knew if her sister saw her like this, it would frustrate the darker feline, sending her into a lecture about how Rosepaw should focus on her training, and be lucky she didn't have something to actually slow her down like asthma did for Flashpaw. A mix of a low growl and sign left Rosepaw's maw as she sat down, her yellow-green eyes staring across camp.

Huh... she thought to herself as her gaze landed on a rather unfamiliar pelt. Rosepaw took pride in knowing each member of ShadowClan, new and old, but the tiny fur bundle that was sitting near the nursery stumped her. Curiosity was enough to propel her up off her paws and over to the mysterious kit that had captured her attention. "Hey there, squirt," she called, ears flicking as she used one of her paws to lightly nudge Shiverkit. "Aren't you a little young to be out and about with the warriors?" There was a bit of a teasing tone mixed in with her words, and a smirk danced across Rosepaw's face as she took a seat in front of Shiverkit, settling into a comfortable position. It had been days since she'd messed with anyone in the Clan, and she was sure Goldenstar "missed" disciplining her from her mischievous actions. Manipulating a kit? Perfect.

“It’s Wishtail, dear.” She meowed calmly, her whiskers twitching. Strange. She had never spoken to this molly before, but somehow she knew Wishtail’s name. Well, at least faintly. Stretching, her tail shook out. “It is hot today. Parched.” She purred, but she enjoyed the heat. I’m warmed her fur, and she loved that more than leafbare of course. It was nearly greenleaf, the prey abundant and running smoothly into Shadowclan’s paws. Glancing at the molly, she took in a bit more of the unfamiliar shecat. She was a calico pelted feline, with a feminine shape and a lovely coat of fur. She had green eyes, like ferns. Wishtail was a pure black molly, with a silver tail and amber eyes. Rather bland, but she priced herself on her regularly groomed pelt and slim figure.
“And, may I ask, what might happen to be your name?” She meowed, just trying to be polite instead of sarcastic.

The molly felt a bit awkward when wishtail said the word 'dear ' she only heard it from her mother wishtail huh? She has ' wish ' in her name too! Cool! she gave a nervous chuckle " yeah...I honestly prefer leaf-fall. not too hot or cold it's just puurrfect " she meowed with a dorky smile at her pun she noticed wishtails Amber eyes which seemed to be more common then she had thought but beautiful none the less they stood out against her black and white patterned fur making basilwish slightly jealous of the other she cats appearance she didn't find herself beautiful enough , she liked the way she looked , it was just that other she cats got more lucky then she did . And there were drop dead gorgeous cats out there too she just wasn't one of them .you could see the slight jealousy in her eyes , her head perked up " oh! My name's Basilwish. I think it's neat we both have wish in our names . " she meowed with another smile her head was held up high a bit of pride glowing from her body.

Wishtail tried not to cringe at her horrible pun. PURRfect? Shadowclanners must be losing their minds these days. Wishtail watched as Basilwish gazed over her pelt. Probably just admiring me. Who wouldn’t? Wishtail purred inwardly at the thought. Wishtail certainly wasn’t perfect, but she could certainly act like it. “Nice to meet you, Basilwish.” She meowed, her warm expression dropping. Now that she had played nice she could perhaps be normal again. Sassy and a bit rude, that was Wishtail. Polite? Think again! “Interesting,” She meowed, holding back a hint of boredom in her voice. This cat was cheery, Wishtail didn’t exactly know how to respond. “Be right back,” She meowed, trotting off to grab one of her mice she had just caught with the squirrel to chow down on while her and Basilwish conversed. Purring in happiness to see that her squirrel had already been taken to be devoured, she knew that her catch was by far the best. Padding back over, she sat down under the coolest part of the shade. She liked heat, but not when eating. It made her food and warm and mushy.

Basilwish nodded she watched the she cat trot off to the kill pile while she did so she took a bite of her own squirrel that she had almost forgotten about she took a big bite out of it purring while chewing . She loved to eat . She licked her lips once she finished , her tail swished back and forth happily , she watched wishtail lay down in the shade as well she was happy to know that she hasn't chased her away by her....persona . She was a different cat. All she wanted were more friends but alas it felt like she was the only one of her mind set in this mouse brained clan. Wishtail seemed ok . So She will keep trying . Trying at what? Oh , you know . A friend . She ran out of things to say to she did what she normally did when she was bored . Sing " Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With the big fake smiles and stupid lies
But deep inside you're bleeding " she sang tilting her head side to side while she did. She exhailed and looked back at wishtail " so...going to the gathering ? " she asked with a twitch of her ear a look of curiosity on her face .

The dark colored medicine cat apprentice had awoken to find her mentor gone. It was relatively early in the day still, so the feline wasn’t worried that they still hadn’t shown up. Flashpaw had been reciting herbs in the storage, ready to explode. Her haunted mind had been at this for three moons at this point, and it was holding steady, but it still took a physical toll. At least it isn’t constant physical exercise. That was one of the main reasons she switched her training. If you asked her now, though, her answer would immediately be Daydream.
As she was counting the dry oak, a small scuffing noise sounded from outside of the storage area. She jumped and hit her head on the top, cursing as she slowly lifted it out. Shaking her head to clear the bruise, she looked at the new arrival. It was a female warrior. She had settled in one of the visitor nests, but it had ‘t been renewed for a while. Without another look at the gashes on the she-cat, she gestured with her tail for her to rise. “Rest in my nest. It’s got newer bedding.” Who cared if she was sickly? The bedding could be changed easily, if she called the right apprentices. Once her patient was positioned, she looked them over carefully. It looked as though she was giving up on something. Something big. The gash along her paw looked the worst, so Flashpaw stood and went for the storage area. “What happened?” she asked while grabbing the necessary herbs, not knowing of the warrior’s inability to speak. Looking through the store, a moment of panic seized her as she glanced around the selection. What if she made a mistake? Where was Daydream when she needed them? Taking a deep breath, she looked at the herb store more clearly. The first plant for wounds she noticed, broom, was only helpful on certain cats. The wounds were mostly dry, so no cobweb, but maybe catch weed to keep on the poultice. Grabbing the catchweed and placing it outside the store, she turned her attention back to the wound-treating area. Not horsetail or marigold; that was for infected wounds. Despite being dry, these were recent. She grabbed some marigold just in case. Then, it hit her. Goldenrod! How could she be so dumb? Shaking her head, Flashpaw picked it up and chewed it into a poultice as she walked back over. After completing the ointment, she said, “Well? Are you mute, or something? What happened?”[/SIZE]

The fluffy molly gave a shake as she rose out of the older nest in an attempt to rid her fur of any sticks or leaves that had become tangled in the mess of her fur. Her right paw remained held in the air as she trudged over to the cleaner nest. I'm actually receiving help. I'm so selfish. Why did I come in here? Her previous doubts began to cloud her mind while the apprentice rubbed ointment onto her paw. She didn't flinch once to the pain of her snaggled paw being rubbed against. She instead portrayed a faraway expression, not even noticing the multiple times the apprentice had asked the impossible task that was talking. I can't believe myself. I'm wasting perfectly good resources on myself, a useless warrior, when it could be used on someone that will actually be of use. She allowed her head to drop onto the floor as she began to scrutinize her own actions. I should've just gone. No, I should go. I can still go, and save my clan the trouble of waisting herbs on me... Actually, I can be of use to my clan. I'll be of use by leaving, then, nobody will ever have to try to translate my odd gestures, hunt for me, care for me, or waste their time in befriending me. I'm so selfish in forcing those around me to befriend me. They gain nothing from my friendship. I'm the only one that can benefit. She snapped out of her thoughts, to meet the expectant gaze of the medicine cat apprentice. I didn't even notice it was the apprentice, and not the actual medicine cat. At least I'm not wasting the time of a high rank. If she's to look after me, then maybe I could stay long enough just to heal, and then leave. Ha, there I go again only thinking of the well being of myself. Oh well.
