ShadowClan Life Before Destruction

Icestar let out a hiss as an unfamiliar scent entered her den. It took her a while before she realized who it was.
"Snowclaw? Ah, so you finally show your face." She listened impatiently to the warrior's story, letting out a sigh, which then turned into a cough.
"Next time be more careful, got it? If a twoleg comes after you, I expect you to outrun it. For now you'd better get reacquainted with clan life and make sure everyone knows who you are. You smell atrocious." The sickly scent of twoleg clung to Snowclaw's fur like burrs. Icestar flicked her tail, dismissing him, as Grizzlypaw entered.


The leader nodded as she listened to the apprentices report. It sounded uneventful.
"Grizzlypaw, would you mind telling me why your patrol leader isn't the one reporting to me? Did they send you in their place, or were they slacking and you're not telling me?"

Citrusflower padded out of the nursery, wanting to get away from her kits for a bit, so she left them with another queen. The calico molly strugged to get across to the fresh kill pile. Once she managed she used her whiskers to feel for the pile. She found a mouse and picked it up. The forever queen padded over to her favorite spot and began to eat her food. This was the first time she had been out of the nursery since her kits were born. Citrusflower was enjoying the peace and quiet for once.

Body stiffened her mind quickly raced back and forth deciding to either cover for them or tell the truth. The choice wasn't hard making her questioned why the delayed answer. Grizzlypaw spun around facing Icestar again. "I-I am sorry.. Strawberrythorn disappeared and Cavehowl decided to go on his own slow pace. So I decided to report in before we get in trouble, ma'am," she stammered.

Thrushfeather had been making his way to the fresh-kill pile at around the same time, carefully taking up a sparrow. But while doing that, he'd noticed Cistrusflower as she took a mouse and left. He hadn't seen her around in awhile, though that was likely due to her recent kitting. After a moment, the ginger tom padded over and settled a few tail-lengths away from her. But he didn't start eating just yet, and instead spoke a few moments later. "Cistrusflower! How are you?" He asked cheerfully, pausing afterwards to actually take a bite out of his meal. In doing so, he was careful to eat around the feathers. Actually, they would make a great addition to his nest, as he'd noticed that he was getting quite cold at night lately.

But he hadn't really focused upon that for very long, lifting his head to look over at the molly afterwards. He wasn't bothered in the least by her blindness. He probably wouldn't have ever noticed if not for how obvious it was on her face.

Citrusflower had started eating her food when she scented a cat sit by her. The molly moved her head up and moved her head as if she could see him. She knew who this cat was, so she let out a friendly smile. "Well hello Thrushfeather. It's great to hear your voice.", she meowed. The molly took a bite out of the mouse.

"I'm doing fine. My kits are two weeks old now and i decided to have some time away from them.", she replied, swallowing her bite. Her daughter Ebonykit was well a little grumpy a lot and Mirekit was sweet, but a little too adventurous. Citrusflower pushed the thoughts away about her kits, remembering this was her time away.

The molly finished up her mouse before giving her paws a clean lick. "So how have you been doing Thrushfeather? Anything new going on?", Citrusflower asked. She wanted to know what was going on with her clanmates now a days. She had been cooped up way too long.

He gently cleaned her injuries with his tongue, before pushing his face into her shoulder. “I’m sorry.” He mumbled.

Ebonykit looked at him, "No I'm sorry for calling you weak.", she meowed. The young molly didn't blame him for attacking her. She had provoked him to do it.

Stormlily smiled at her two kits, seeing that Echokit somehow managed to squirm away but then tiredly walked back. The two were now the biggest blessings Starclan can ever get her. Moving closer to her little bundles of joy and warmed them. Licking their heads in comfort as she enjoyed her new kin.

The small molly padded slowly out of the apprentices' den, eyes still groggy from her much needed nap. She'd been running around so much trying to help keep the clan on it's toes that she'd hardly let herself get some rest. The she-cat stretched out across the cold ground, a wide yawn escaping her maw as her claws dug into the dirt. She shook out her fur as she stood back up, taming a few stay tufts with swift licks of her tongue. A quick glance around the clearing informed her that most of the warriors were out doing duties, with only a few relaxing in the clearing. Her yellow eyes caught onto another apprentice, who seemed to be having some sort of internal crisis.

"Finchpaw?" She asked hesitantly as she made her way over to the tom, worry etched across her wide-eyed features. "Are you alright?" She'd hardly ever spoken to the other apprentice before, but their clan was small enough to know everyone's names. Finchpaw in particular she could remember being a somewhat anxious character, and a skittish one like herself - something she normally wasn't proud to admit. Though he looked like he was struggling with something, and if Rabbitpaw could help then she would most definitely try.

finchpaw
*alright* might've been stretching it, at least in finchpaw's personal opinion, but he offered the she-cat a weak smile anyway. he didn't want to worry her, after all. he'd only met rabbitpaw in passing, but one of the benefits of not having a huge clan was that he could remember others' names, although this was something finchpaw was almost confident would change either as more cats joined their clan or as he got older. "of course," he mewed in response, the words passing as somewhat bitter, despite his intentions. finchpaw's tone had never been the easiest to read in the first place, and it seemed the more confident he tried to sound, the more he came off sounding like someone to stay away from. finchpaw didn't *like* that, necessarily, but there wasn't anything he could do about it.

"and you? are you alright?" the tom asked a moment later, glancing at the she-cat. she certainly looked okay, but it wouldn't do any harm to be sure—especially considering that she'd had the courtesy to ask him first. regardless of finchpaw's wishes leaning more towards a longing to be left alone, he had to admit it had been nice of her to come check on him. sure, it was something clanmates did all the time, but that didn't stop finchpaw from appreciating it.

With her nowhere to be seen, he sighed and opted to head for the fresh-kill pile instead. He figured he would grab something small from the pile before he hunted her down. Maybe she was out on patrol without him?

burdockpaw
boredom was something that burdockpaw simply couldn't stand, and as his irritation grew, he found himself looking for something to do. anyone could be a potential target to annoy (or a potential new friend, depending on how you looked at it), and with burdockpaw's eagerness to find company in full swing, falconpaw just happened to be the first cat that caught his attention. "falconpaw! hey! falconpaw!" the tom called, getting to his own paws with his tail held high, ears pricked forward in an eagerness to greet the tom. he didn't know the tom well enough to make any assumptions about his personality, but now seemed like a good time. it didn't seem like falconpaw was that busy, anyway.

(Open!)

Redheart sat down on his own mossy bedding. He was glad to finally lay down and relaxed after many patrols he had been on. The young warrior wished he can take a break, but he replaced that wish wit ha reminder: To become a deputy then to leader, to make peace with each clan. He locked his green eyes onto the sky that was visible enough to see through the ceiling. He was intrigued of a blinking bright star. Leaftail?
Next day, he will be in another patrol, but he'll do it for his mentor, his family, and his clan.

sablepaw
with only one other apprentice to outdo, sablepaw was actually excited about the prospect of battle training. she pictured it to be all fierce and exciting, and definitely glamorous—after all, why wouldn't it be? this was going to be fun, sablepaw just knew it. entering the training cave, she was almost dancing with excitement, her paws feeling like they were on fire from the pure anticipation of what was to come. "can we start now?" the words left her mouth the second she was finished looking around, turning an eager gaze on the other warriors. oh, this was going to be fun. sablepaw wanted this more than she'd wanted almost anything else.
