Violetkit noticed the other kit in the corner. She seemed... lonely.
"Hey!" she called as she walked over to the kit. "Do you want to play?" @LionKitKat

Hawkkit saw how his litter mates padded over to Cherrykit. He leaped over to them and sat down beside Violetkit. He had heard Cherrykit talking about a training session, and he couldn't say no to that.
"Lilykit, you should come too!" He meowed excitedly to his sister. Hawkkit had been taking a nap earlier, and now he had more energy than ever!

Creekpaw cantered over, excited for his, sadly, first training session. Nightheart was just a bad mentor, she had never ever trained him and the other warriors pretty much just told him to do things around camp. "Ready!" He didn't really know Foxpudge to much but, it would be fun to hunt with his new father. He had had many different adoptive fathers with all of Songbird's mates. He seemed nice though. Creekpaw's tail was high and he barely contained his excitement as they headed out of camp.

Birchkit turned towards the voice of what she assumed was another kit. She was right. It was a kit who, just like her, had gray fur and green eyes. Still wanting to play, she replied, "Sure! What do you want to play?"

The leader made her way into the medicine cat's den following behind her deputy after she saw him sped off once finishing with patrols. Coyotesnarl, she had seen him walk in on jelly-like legs and make his way to his den. She felt like she should go see what the problem was and so had swiftly excused herself from the surrounding cats. She could hear Brindlejaw's anxious voice well before she even entered the den. Her nose wrinkles as she pushes herself further inside where Brindlejaw hovered over Coyotesnarl like a queen over a kit. Twilightstar calmly assessed the situation in an aloof yet assertive manner, dull eyes roaming over what looked like nonlife-threatening wounds.
Twilightstar could see how unsettled the medicine cat was and so decided to give him some space instead of crowding him, she doubted he was the type who enjoyed being too close to cats anyway.
"I would suggest just helping place the cobwebs where they need to be and make sure there's no dirt in the wound." She spoke unhurriedly with a shrug of her shoulders. She wasn't a medicine cat she was just running on common sense at the moment. Twilightstar really wanted to know what had spooked Coyotesnarl so terribly. She's never seen him in such a state. As much as she'd like to ask him what was wrong she was sure he'd tell them in his own time. She didn't enjoy people asking obvious questions when she was worked up.

He dipped his head forlornly. "I'm sorry, I'll try not to let it happen again. I've learned my lesson through this matter; maybe if I hadn't been so mouse-brained, I could have done something to help her."

Twilightstar didn't see the point in punishing the tom considering finding his mother's dead body was certainly a lesson well learned. Not that she blamed him for this, the leader just didn't see the point in making a bad situation worse. "If and maybe won't do much now. What's done is done, she'll be watching over us from Starclan now." She answered rationally. It was difficult for her to get to work over something she was unable to change. "You can stay here and mourn for her if you'd like, otherwise, I'll make sure to have her buried."

Yawning the kitten sat back up only to fold her ears back I'm gonna be in trouble aren't i....apples! she frowned . Her stomach rumbled like mad...how long has she been gone?only a few days right? please let it be a few days.....I don't want mamma to yell at me... Looking around frantically she huddled close to the ground and awaited her punishment ...maybe if I don't eat she'll forfeit my punishment ?...isn't that already a punishment in itself ?

The leader made her way over to the young kit who recently entered the camp. She might have bypassed her if she hadn't had that spectacular fall. Hearing her stomach a fox length away, Twilightstar paused near the fresh-kill pile, it was low but there was something there. If the kit was out wandering on her own she should be old enough to eat solid food. After finding a rather small yet fresh bird, she finished her trek over to the kit. "Here try this." She meowed after dropping the bird in front of Lambkit. Twilightstar voice was a touch softer then it was when dealing with older cats. Seeing as how the kit crouched on the ground like that it was clear she knew that what she had done was wrong. "Eat up and then you can tell me where've you've been."

Butterflypaw found her way into camp just a couple of scratches were seen on her pelt. The molly a week ago had been chased by three dogs and she hadn't been able to find her way back, especially after a kittypet had helped her with her wounds. Butterflypaw looked for Twilightstar hoping she would be able to come back. "Twilightstar. I'm sorry I have been gone long I was chased by a couple of dogs and didn't have the strength to find my way back.", she meowed.

There's another one. Twilightstar couldn't even be overly mad at this point as she spots another missing cat returned home. With the recent deaths, she was honestly just glad to have her clanmates back even if she didn't really show it. One of her ears flattened as she heard the word dogs, could be the same ones that ended killing Featherbreeze. They were going to have to do something about this and soon. Dipping her head to sniff at some of the molly's scatches, Twilightstar found that they didn't look too bad. "I'm glad to see you've come home relatively unharmed." She decided against boring the young cat with her personal concerns. "You can go and rest or eat, I want to believe that you've learned a lesson and won't be straying far from camp here on out. So there will be no punishment this time."

This was where he was supposed to go, right? Well, he'd find out either way. As he drew closer, he acknowledged Runningpaw's existence, nodding cheerfully to the apprentice before letting out a yowl.
"I sware, you follow me everywhere! How strange are you?" He exclaimed, nodding in confusion. Finally colliding with the meeting place, he sat down, bemused.
"Could you not get enough?" He purred sheepishly, flicking his tail in flamboyance.

~~~

Runningpaw felt her fur ruffle angrily. This tom was too much. Who did he think he was, flirting with everycat!? And kidnapping her like that, what in Starclan's name?! She spat angrily before hissing a reply at him.
"The only reason I follow you around is because you MAKE me. You're far too overprotective of a cat who despises you." She snapped, eyes narrowing. She shot a smirk at him, nodding.
"But I bet Twilightstar will have a decent charge for you- kidnapping me, holding me against my will, flirting with any cat you meet, and running off in the first place. Good luck." She turned, sitting as far away from his as possible. How was this cat even her mentor?! And how on Earth did her brother out up with him?!

"Honestly, what am I going to do with you two?" Twilightstar groaned as walked over to Runningpaw and Littlewish. This was the second time they had both vanished without any word. She knew she had been far too soft on the cats. She should have been sterner the first time. The fierce frown and low growl bubbling from her chest scream her displeasure with the whole situation. Twilightstar was unable to find any injuries on them which meant they'd get no sympathy from her. "The second I take my eye off you the both of you run off like unruly kits. You're disloyalty is starting to make me worry." Twilight gives a disappointed glower while waiting for one of them to explain to her what had happened now.

[Moonraven]

Once she had the cats step forward she started with the name changing ceremony for the three cats. "Spirits of StarClan, you know every cat by name. I ask you now to take away the name from the cats you see before you, for it no longer stands for who they are. By my authority as Clan leader, and with the approval of our warrior ancestors, I give these cats their new names." She yowled out, looking at each cat in the eye as she gave them their names. "Dana, you will be given back your former name, Streamfeather, I hope you carry your name with honor and loyalty it will not be so easy to have it return should you lose it again." The leader warned the she-cat. The returning warrior had gotten off rather easy, should she leave this clan again, especially for extremely stupid reasons, Twilightstar would not be so willing to take her back.
"Deity, you will be known as Snowpaw." She felt it was a fitting name considering the season the young molly decided to up and leave her two-legs in to join a clan. Why anyone would leave a cozy home with free nasty dry food was a mystery to her. "Honey, you are now Honeypaw." She quite liked the former kittypet, his name fit his rather sweet personality. "I welcome you to WindClan as official members of the clan." She was hoping to see great things from these two.
"Cherrykit, you've reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Cherrypaw." Twilightstar stops there for a second to allow the clan to call out the cats' names. They should relish in this good news before she broke the bad to them.
"Foxpudge [@Bill. ], seeing how you misplaced your last apprentice, I'm going to give you Cherrypaw to look after. I'm not fully certain on why she got booted out of her last clan, but do your best to try and make sure she doesn't get toss from this one." She was still a little skeptical about whether Foxpudge ate his last apprentice or not. Even if he did or did not, giving him a known troublemaker seemed to be her best bet.
"Oddears [ @Bumblebelly ] you've not received an apprentice yet, I'm going to leave Snowpaw with you. I'm sure you'll pass on all your wisdom to her. She'll need more than just fighting and hunting taught to her. If she's going to be a clan cat she'll need to know our rules and our ways." She reminds the tom that former kittypet knew nothing about them. It would be rough teaching her everything but she was sure Oddears would do alright.
"Honeypaw, you seem like you're having a harder time than most former kittypets with adjusting to our lifestyle. You'll need a patient and caring mentor to guide you. I believe Midnightseeker [ @Undertaker ] be will that mentor." Her mother enjoyed suffocating cats in her love, Twilightstar was sure the two would get along swimmingly.

@amber'light @Blissie Bliss @Starfall @Daylily Orchid - make sure your cats are signed up in the allegiances or they won't be added to WindClan.

[teddy.]

Oddear had been present, the tall lanky tom quirked his head when he heard his name, large rounded ears perking forward's slightly when he was informed of the new apprentice. A rumbling purr of content sounded form the tom as he got to his large old paws and made his way over. "My my, with the state of our clan I'm a little taken back by the fact you decided to let a kittypet join, hm?" He asked Twilightstar before turning his attention to the little thing before him, "It's an honour to welcome someone new to Windclan, Snowpaw."

Twistedkit kept her claws sheathed and ducked, although her long, horribly deformed tail was easy to grasp onto. She spun around, trying to face the gray tom-kit, hissing in a joking manner. "And I'm a WindClan warrior!" she mewed, feeling delight. "And my name is... er... Twistedclaw! Yeah!" @FuzzyRatto

@Moonraven
Ears perking up as she saw twilightstar, her anxiety rose. She did tilt her head when she went to the fresh kill pile. Watching as the leader plopped the bird infront of her gave her a dilemma. should I or shouldn't i?... her stomach rumbled again..yeah I'm gonna ! with that she tore into the prey. After finishing her meal she looked up at the leader "thank you!" she mewed. Only to then sit up and look at her paws oh right...my reason..
"I was bored...And I wondered off. I thought it would cure my boredom ...But after a while I got lost and I think ...I think? I saw some twoleg dens?...I'm not sure but they were away from here...maybe one or two?..that's when I decided to come back..I was scared .." she answered . " I'm sorry...wait ...how long have I been gone? Will this delay my apprentice ceremony like it did with goatpaws?? ".
