[I apologize for the delay, n I hope y'all don't mind be moving this out here. yes I went to the very bottom of WC RP places to pick this thread]

Rainpaw watched as all three warriors were willing to teach her. Well, Hallowstep didn't care, but he was required to teach her so, that was fine. Figuring it was time to leave the apprentice took the lead. "Okay, lets go then! Lest one out has to teach me to hunt!" Rainpaw called and hurried out of the clearing. Twilightstar wanted them to bring back food so the black molly planned on doing just that!
She'd glance back to see if the warriors were following her as she trotted off in an unknown area of the territory, she didn't know the whole place. However as she saw the ocean, the molly stopped. "Whoa, this place is awesome!!" Rainpaw gasped the tension of camp long gone.

Wildpaws calico pelt was still covered in dust and dried, frosty dirt. The brown crumbs distorting the fiery pattern of his tortbie self. Twilightstar was going to kill him; and if she didn't? Swiftfire and Blossomtrail would no doubt be lining up outside of the den.

Wildpaws jaw was still aching from the slap Deadpaw had som graciously given him and the cuff over the ear from Badgerpaw was no better! His chest puffed up as he entered the den. "Um, Twilightstar?" He called out into the darkness, deciding to sit himself down by the dens entrance.

"I... AccidentlyCollapsedTheApprenticeDenTrying ToTunnel!!!" Maybe if he said it really fast, she wouldn't care as much? Flawed logic from a flawed tom.

Wolffang's ears flicked as Coldamber spoke to Twilightstar. Was this something that he was supposed to hear? Probably not, but he felt almost honored that the two she-cats seemed to trust him enough to relay it in front of him. As the medicine cat did whatever she was doing with those herbs, he listened silently and respectfully, storing the information in his brain in case he might need it or something. Which was a bit of a funny thought, but who knew? His bright yellow eyes narrowed at the mention of Ratrush being a traitor. Things had gone all haywire when ShadowClan had overrun the camp. No traitors belong in WindClan, he thought, hoping that neither she-cat had noticed how his claws had begun digging slightly in the ground. He wouldn't mind ripping off that traitorous cat's pelt if he could. Would she be executed? That would be the most sensible option. But moving the camp? Sure, it might make sense, but WindClan were still getting back on their paws. And they had lived there for a long time. At least, according to Wolffang. He was fairly young.

Twilightstar's response made him turn his head toward the lilac-colored leader. Oh, so she remembered that time, during their dumb "playdate" with RiverClan? Anger rushed through his veins, and he tensed slightly, but didn't say anything. At least, not yet. But it wasn't his fault that he had nearly drowned! That dumb RiverClan she-cat had pushed him under the water, and had tried to hold him there! No cat could blame him for panicking. Not to mention that apprentice who had gotten a slit throat. Mock battles with other Clans were something that he did not like. WindClan could stand on their own!

It was good to know that Twilightstar hadn't meant to offend him. Well, he'd known that, but it had struck some sort of nerve. He shouldn't have acted so touchy in front of his leader. "It's alright, Twilightstar," Wolffang meowed in an even tone. And the leader had mentioned... training? Extra training? That would be something good, something to hone his skills. His leader was mentioning getting herself into shape, too. He'd known her to be an excellent fighter, but looking over her, he could see that she was not in great shape. It looked like one of her eyes had been sealed shut with a scar, and glancing at her paws... oh, ow. He winced slightly, seeing that it appeared as though she was lacking toes. Or some toes.

"Well," Wolffang began, "we could all use some more training. To get back on our paws, and so that we're stronger if ShadowClan does anything else." He lifted his thick-furred gray head. "If I do, then I will." What else could he say? He'd love the aspect of extra training. Especially if he could fight Finchwhisker again and get the tom back. Twilightstar's attention had now turned to Coldamber, and she was talking to the medicine cat. Wolffang listened respectfully, and then when she was done with him, he took a step back. His wounds had been treated, and the marigold sticking to his fur wasn't the most comfortable thing in the world, but it was fine.

"Should I leave now?" he asked, giving a respectful dip of his head to both she-cats. His eyes kept getting trained on the stump where Coldamber would've had a paw. He didn't really like cats with disabilities, but as a medicine cat - one who had earned his respect in one way or another - he didn't mind it so much. At least she wasn't weakening the Clan, like some other warriors he knew.

Alright- she was correct! That's good...
Maplebird listened to the tips the tunneler had to offer before nodded her head ever so slightly, and then moved her paws forward. Once she felt the cold dirt wall against her pads, she unsheathed her claws to begin digging. The soil was mostly stiff- but after feeling around she found a less hard spot. Now, the she-cat actually begun. She was doing okay at first, but got a lot of dirt in her eyes [oops, must have forgotten that first tip]. Uggg. Maplebird dug a little more in silence until her claws hit a pretty lose spot- and it collapsed- [only a little bit collapsed, but her hard work was mostly covered now].

As Crowtooth walked into the tunnels, she followed- keeping silent the whole time of course. This would be her first real hunt in the dark place. Hopefully I'll do okay... When the tom gave the signal, she pawed over to the other side of the entrance [left or right unknown]. Then, Maple pounced attempting to grab some rabbits. She bit one in her first pounce luckily, leaving it dead [or almost dead]. A few other rabbits fled to the entrance where the other patrol members where. [ @hope @gs29513 @Rani]

Coldamber murmurs under her breath, blinking a few times as she carefully back away from Wolffang.
"It was a suggestion. If you feel it is best to wait, I won't argue, but I feel you should consider that in her time here, Dawnstar has had ample time to learn the insides of the camp and I know for certain she did and she was through."
She kept her voice low, an underlying warning.
"Waiting might not be such a bad idea, though, but perhaps not for too long."
As eager as she was to get away from all the blood that had been spilt here, she realized they were a bit beat as it was and yet she wanted to press this matter further. Her loyalty to Twilightstar and the relief to have her back made her let her end of this discussion end.
Her ear turned to Wolffang and he spoke to Twilightstar and she turned away, respecting what little privacy she could give considering the close proximity of them all.
When he stood up and asked a out his leaving, there was an unintentional twitch in the side of her mouth as she turned back to him.
"If you want to. You are not required to stay, but I'm not kicking you out, either."
She gave him a real smile this time before focusing her attention back to their leader.

Deersight opened their eyes, but didnt get up.Maybe today i'll see her!By her they meant Swallowear, a cat not from any one of the clans. Maybe she might go on a patrol. She didn't know, and frankly didn't really care.

Tawnykit quietly shuffled her paws on the ground, deep in thought. Maybe she could go to the elders den? But that was no fun without anyone accompanying her. She slowly looked around, finding a nice sized mossball to play with. It was still wet, but oh well, Tawnykit did not care. She carefully nudged the wet mossball with her nose, and found it wasn't that cold. Tawnykit slowly pushed a little, white paw forward, and hit the mossball with it. The mossball rolled forward in a straight line. She followed it, tail wagging in excitement. Tawnykit carefully pushed it forward again, this time sending it flying into her nest mixed of moss and feathers. She put the mossball aside and curled up in her nest, watching the events pass by. "I want to play, too" she muttered to herself. Maybe she should just be brave and ask? No, Tawnykit decided, shaking her head. They could cone to her, but she would not come to them. She padded to the nursery entrance. Should she get some fresh-kill? Yes, Tawnykit thought. She was really hungry, and could do with a piece of prey. She padded out, first checking that the mossball was still safely contained in her nest.

Rowankit was laying in the middle of the nursery, laying on his back as daydreams played in his head. The other kits didn't want to play with him, so he played with his imagination. The dark cream tom opened an eye when he heard someone and rolled onto his belly. He didn't know them: had he never bothered them to check their health? "Hi! Who are you?" The tom approached, cocking his head curiously.

Ashkit padded over the short grass slowly. Finally, home again, and she was sure this time. And she hadn't found either of her brothers, or her mom. She found WindClan, though! Hopefully the scary big cat that took Twilightstar would let her come home, and hopefully Sparkfire was there. She was around 6 moons by then. Maybe the scary cat would let her become an apprentice! A little bit of bounce found its way into her step. She couldn't wait to start training, if she was allowed to. @Moonraven

Toadpaw
—————

Toadpaw was no thunderclan cat, in fact he didn’t even know any of them. However he knew they could climb, and being so envious of their climbing abilities he wanted to figure it out. Since mastering all of the clans different talents would set him ahead in life. Sure he didn’t have the brains, maybe enough brain to recognize that but he would have to rely on everything else to make up for it.

So here he was! The first step in his journey to become the ultimate machine. There were few trees in windclan which obviously made learning how to climb a difficult task, so he’d chosen a set of stones. Large stones that twisted upwards like the trunks of trees. It would be more difficult to hook your claws into it.. but that just meant he’d learn the hard way.. a benefit maybe?

But he wondered just exactly how he’d begin this process. Was it a running start? Maybe he just slapped his paws on the cleft and started that way?

"We're back," Crowspeck announced, ears twitching. "Nothing unusual happened at the border, but we renewed it. Nothing much to report."
