"Oh, we haven't trained much together but she seems like she would make a pretty fine warrior already. She'll be better once I am done with her." Amberstrike chuckled. "Would you like to met her?"

Kestrelberry was subtly aware of the she-cat on his back beginning to stir, and his ears perked as he heard a groan. "No, i'm not this... 'Onyxflight' you speak of, unfortunately." He continued to make his way with major difficulty, the ShadowClan camp not too far away. "I didn't see a thing, but I did hear a ruckus. Haha.." He laughed nervously, eyes flickering upwards, almost as if he could see the feline on his back. "I- I'm going to make sure you're al-alright, okay? We're almost to the m-medicine den." The last part was soft and unsteady, Kestrelberry's tail dragging on the ground.

@Holly

Pinestorm caught sight of the squirrel, and double checked to make sure he was down wind. Good, he thought when he was. I can't mess this up, she's watching me! He stalked forward, though his technique could use a bit work. It managed, however, and he managed to leap forward before the squirrel noticed him, quickly finishing it off. He turned to Nightstream, wondering what she thought of his catch.

The Bengal gave her a small nudge to help her sit up then looked over both their pelts. He nodded in agreement. "Quite a mess, but we're alive," he murmured as he sniffed at the muck around his forelegs. His nose crinkled and his green hues showed his disgust. "I'll never get the scent of this off. It's revolting," he spoke, pulling his head away from his legs now and looking back at Marbledface before sneezing. As much as he didn't want to be embarrassed, he couldn't help it, although he appreciated she didn't make a fuss about it anymore.


As she continued to speak, he was beginning to rise to his paws when his ears pricked towards Marbledface. She had cut herself up and he heard the thud as she collapsed. The Bengal's hues widened as he stared at the black and white heap on the ground. "Marbledface?" he exclaimed staring at the she-cat. Jaguarclaw didn't hesitate to take a few paw steps forward and crouch down beside her. He nosed her head before he felt the heat radiating off her shoulder. Shifting a little bit, he touched his nose to her shoulder and was shocked by the amount of heat coming from it. "Is it your shoulder?" he asked quietly, giving it a small lick to test the amount of pain it was causing her.

Marbledface's face crumbled with embarrassment as the tom crouched beside her. When he carefully licked her shoulder she flinched away from the pain. She sighed unhappily and laid her ears back, but opened her frustrated orbs and glanced over at Jaguarclaw. "It'll be fine in a few minutes..." She fibbed, it might be good enough to limp back in a few minutes. "It... happens sometimes." She mumbled, then turned her head to look away, the movement made her cringe again. Though she didn't let it hold her back. She began to push herself up into a sitting position with her left foreleg, it was slow work and she grit her teeth to suppress the pain. Then she looked over pitifully at the tom. She felt weak and exposed, embarrassed as if she'd be shaven. "It's not your fault." She continued really quickly, then looked away again. Her skin felt hot and prickly beneath her fur and her stomach twisted as her feelings spiraled into the emotion. Her thin tail wrapped itself around her body and she shivered. As the evening set in further so did the cold. She could almost see her breath now, they had really better be getting back to camp or else they'd both catch a cold. Damp from the mud and cold from the air was not a good mixture.

Instead, she got an answer that made her body go cold.

Home? Silentpaw took a step back. She wished she could see, maybe then she would see a joking look on her leader's face instead of hearing her dead serious voice. Not only was she dead serious, but even seemed to be... enjoying it? No, this is just a cruel joke! She screamed at herself, hoping that it would be just that. "W-what do you mean my 'home'? Shadowclan is my home!" Her voice rose, for once filled with emotion other than just anger. Though she was angered by the situation, but she was also scared. What Blazingnight was saying... it made sense.

She wasn't a threat. She was blind and couldn't really hold her own in a fight, and she had been able to tell that when Blazingnight came into power she would be looking for just that - power. And Silentpaw wasn't powerful. She was viewed and weak and more of a dead weight than an asset to the clan, which was the opposite the new Shadowclan was looking for. She herself saw the weakness that a blind cat like herself was, she had known it since she was born. She had let her blindness prevent her from doing anything, holding her back when she should've become an apprentice with Marbledface and Baycloud, but instead had remained as a kit.

"You can't just do this! Just take me out here and tell me to leave, to live in the twoleg place! That is just for kitty-pets and loners, I'm a clan cat, I'm Shadowclan!" Even if anger was bubbling at the surface of the firey molly, it was still her fear that was driving it. "Plus, I've got a family - a mother. How could you just rip me away from her? Don't you know she's already so broken inside?" Even as she said this,trying to use it as an attempt to have her leader reconsider, she knew this would mean nothing to her. It wasn't just the fear that Eversong would be crushed if her daughter disappeared and only left her with Marbledface, but rather the fact that she might not be affect whatsoever, similar to how she had reacted to Baycloud's death.

Blazingnight smiled cruelly at the words that tumbled out of the waste of space and time before her. She patted the other cat on the head maliciously and smiled, leaning back with a chuckle. "You took the words right out of my mouth Silentpaw!" She laughed. "For kittypets, you are a kittypet." She leaned in closer to the young apprentice. "If you ddidn't understand that I'll repeat it: You. Are. A. Kittypet." She leaned back and sat slouching, bored of toying with her prey. "As if your 'family' will notice you gone anyways. I'm more than certain that your sister won't miss you as she never speaks with you, and seems to ignore you whenever I greet her and ask how her family is. Your father might, though he abandoned you guys right? So probably won't notice. Eversong is a whole different story, that cat is going to wither away in her delusions this moon anyways, with prey scarce I wouldn't be surprised if you once a day meal won't sustain her through the cold." She gave her chest a few quick licks before sighing in boredom. "Now run along, I don't have all day and I'm being so very kind to let you go without life threatening injuries. If I weren't such a nice leader I would simply have executed you moons ago."

@Ever

Her tail lashed out more and more as Blazingnight informed her that she was a kitty-pet. Then repeated it. The apprentice didn't listen to her though, not believing that she was a kitty-pet. I'm Shadowclan! She repeated the words over and over in her head, anger sizzling off the angered and scared molly. Silentpaw wished to lash out and hopefully cut the leader's cheek. Leave her a mark, show her not to underestimate the apprentice just because she was blind. It would've been so easy too, Blazingnight had leaned in close to repeat her words of Silentpaw being a kitty-pet.

But she knew that if she did so, than it would start an actual fight. And she could not win in a fight, especially not against Blazingnight. So Silentpaw tried her best to hold herself back from attacking the charcoal tabby, though she was actually shaking with anger at this point. It was clear how upset Blazingnight was getting her - and she wished that it wasn't so obvious, assuming that her leader was feeding off of her reaction to this situation.

Silentpaw glared through blind orbs as her leader went on to explain that no one would miss her, or even notice her absence. She was a bit surprised when Blazingnight spoke of Marbledface and how they had actually spoken before, but why wouldn't her sister share words with someone like Blazingnight? They were both similar - cold and unforgiving. Also, unforgivable. Silentpaw doubted that her father would notice, he seemed to want to be back into their family, but she only saw him as the tom that never bothered with them and disappeared. And Eversong.... She was aware of her mother withering away, but she hated Blazingnight speaking of Eversong. "Don't say her name! Don't speak of Eversong you mangy flea-bag!" She yowled, still shaking with anger.

She knew that nothing she said would change the leader's mind. Nothing she did would either. She winced slightly when the leader told her that she would've killed her if she wasn't so 'nice'. Yeah right! She hissed silently. But Silentpaw didn't have a death wish - despite the fact that she absolutely hates her life - so she knew she had to leave. Not to mention that her snap might trigger Blazingnight. The blind apprentice whirled around and started to run for the twoleg place. She had not wish of living there, but it was the closest place where she could escape from her evil leader.

I'm gone for now, but don't think I won't return! It wasn't really a threat to Blazingnight - after all, what should do against the leader of Shadowclan? No, it was more like a promise to herself. I'll return...

Mudpaw padded back into camp, carrying three mice. He trotted over to the prey pile and set them down, then picked up a shrew and walked over to the shelter of some ferns. He dipped his head to the older cat's as he passed them. He settled down underneath the ferns and sank his teeth into the shrew.

Messy catch it'll need work. she thought to herself. "Nice catch!" She said with artificial enthusiasm. She looked at the tom then saw another squirrel right above him. She dashed forward and raced up the tree grabbing the squirrel she killed it fast to ensure no suffering. "I think that's enough." She said through the squirrel. She went and sighed up the mouse and waited for pine to follow.

Pinestorm let out a happy purr at her praise, though it was muffled by his catch. I did it! He closed his eyes, confidence spreading throughout him. Of course I did it! As he popped open his eyes, his hunting partner was charging toward a tree. What's she doing? He wondered, and watched as she raced up the trunk, easily catching another squirrel that the tom had failed to notice. Before he could stop himself, the furry creature in his mouth dropped as his mouth hung open in astonishment. He let out an embarrassed cough and quickly picked his squirrel back up to follow Nightstream. "I, uh, got some fur caught in my throat," he muttered an excuse as he neared the molly. "You're a pretty good hunter. Dunno what you're better at- looking good or catching prey." He grinned through his prey, his flirty demeanor back, the embarrassed Pinestorm vanishing as fast as it appeared.
