Vinekit looked around "hello? Anyone here? I'm quite scared now..don't really want to be out here..." she meowed, looking for somebody...unless it's another snake of course
Ashpaw noticed his sibling Frostshade being called up by Sparrowflight. It seemed that he was going to take part to a party and look for that rogue, Lilystorm. But I doubt that's her real name... I wonder where she got the idea for the name. She must know well the clans, since she chose well. Shaking his head to clear himself from the thoughts, he focused again on his friends.
Flamepaw seemed to be getting along with Bumbleflight really well, and he felt very glad of that. He dipped his head to the older warrior and replied: "Thank you, Bumbleflight." Addressing the two both, he turned to the gorse tunnel that was the entrance of the camp and invited them with a flick of his tail: "Shall we go now?"
@SpiritedWarrior @Ritsuka (It seems that Harefire was put on the missing cats, sorry not to have noticed before. I'll just continue and pretend that he has declined the offer.)

Flamepaw cast a smile in Bumbleflight’s direction and looked back at her friend as he asked them if they should be going. It was rather nerve racking to go on a walk when ‘Lilystorm’ and other rogues were out there, but as long as they had Bumblrflight, they’d be fine. Right? Right. Bumbleflight’s a warrior. He knows what to look out for!
“I’m ready if Bumbleflight is!” She flicked an ear and went to stand by Ashpaw to wait for the older tom. Flamepaw was excited, she only went to Sunkissed Creek two times: once with an entire group lead by Roosterflame, and another time with Mapleleaf to practice patience.

Bumbleflight nodded to the two apprentices, already eager to set out. The young warrior knew his way around the place, and he was admittedly happy to help train some cats. After all, he's already done some training with Ashpaw and had fun, so why not do it again?
"Alright, let's head out. You know the way, or need me to lead?" He asked Ashpaw, tilting his head as he made his way to the entrance of camp. Ashpaw probably knew already, but the young tom figured it didn't hurt to ask anyway.
Ashpaw had visited Sunkissed Creek once with Flamepaw, when Roosterflame had decided to take some warriors out and try to swim. However he had been too excited to pay attention to the route, and he didn't know Thunderclan territory well enough to lead a party somewhere without making embarassing mistakes. He decided to offer the lead to Bumbleflight and nodded to him: "You know the way better than me, so we'll follow. Are we ready then?"
After having a little meal, the party set out toward Sunkissed Creek.
[Moving to Sunkissed Creek. Can someone of you post the starter? I think it would be nice to organize a posting order, at least until the three stay together (At some point Ashpaw and Flamepaw might have some time together to have fun.)] @SpiritedWarrior @Ritsuka
Rainfall lifted a ear once she heard her name be called. The she-cat then lifted her head and looked in the direction of the voice. The molly smiled softly at Rainflower.

Deadflame came forth " Sootkit had wandered off and Finchpaw went after after her, me and Breezewind had been patrolling near by when we heard a loud yelp, Sootkit and Finchpaw had gotten hit by a thunderbeast and the twolegs had taken them into it, we warriors followed and eventually found them but got caught be some bad rogues, we just got back..."
A low growl caught in her throat as Deadflame began to share their story.
"And why, stars tell, did you not think to notify myself or any other cats before chasing foolhardily after a monster? And how did you track the right one down while it was travelling far faster than any cat could go? I don't doubt you came across unruly rouges, but I do not believe you could accurately follow the exact monster that these two were allegedly taken into."
Stepping forward, Sparrowflight picked up Sootkit by the scruff and moved a few steps back. Green eyes turned a challenging look towards the two warriors before her. There were details she needed if she were to believe this story, and so far not much was adding up.
She had confiscated one young and damaged cat, if she needed to take away the other than she would.
Well they didn't seem all that excited to see him. In his dumb mind he was expecting some kind of a party for his return. It was just a shame he was able to come back to Thunderclan when Cinderstar was leader after his revival, but then he went missing soon after. He was a horrible cat wasn't he? Well both times he hadn't mean't to be away from Thunderclan. Starclan must hate him or something. "Well I was resurrected a few moons ago and was allowed back to the clan, but you see here I was taking one of my daily strolls and possibly do some hunting. I found myself getting too close to the border when this two-leg came out of nowhere and picked me up with their filthy paws. While being held against my will I managed to escape twice, but they always brought me back.", he meowed.
Wildspark took a deep breathe. Never before had he realized how much he talked. Maybe that was why she was annoyed with him. He didn't know. He was too dumb to realize. "The third time I managed to get through this barrier to a thing that allows you to see the outside from inside and by the time they managed to grab me I was gone. Now I wish to come back home. I came straight here after I escaped.", he meowed.
Sparrowflight's eyes narrowed slightly as Wildspark spun his tale. It seemed reasonable enough, but she couldn't shake this feeling of unfairness that had lodged itself in her chest; a consistent reminder of what this tom was gifted when her sister was not given the same opportunity.
"I will allow you back now Wildspark," Sparrowflight stated, attempting to stop herself from grinding her teeth over her words. She couldn't allow her personal feelings to interrupt her duties, no matter how much they burned in her chest. "However, if this happens again I will not be so accommodating. You know better than to get close to two-leg place, so I expect you to do better. Now go. Camp is that way."
Turning abruptly with a huff, Sparrowflight bolted into the forest without a glance back. She needed to run off this frustration and not take it out on some poor cat caught in the crossfire of her grief.
[ Done! Wildspark has been accepted and will be moved off the missing list ]
'Sparrowflight..?' Wisteriapaw was slightly confused. 'I... oh, never mind. Are you leader now?' Hm. At least she could go home. 'Can I please rejoin ThunderClan? I was exploring and I got lost and then I took forever to come back and and and... ...' She trailed off, worried. 'Is my sister okay? What happened to Larchkit?' She bit her lip. Larchkit had disappeared before the apprentice ceremony... And she was only a kit!, she thought anxiously. 'Please? Can I rejoin?'
A long-suffering sigh released itself from her muzzle as the tan molly looked over the young apprentice while they explained their story.
"You are aware that leaving camp without a warrior is not allowed Wisteriapaw? Your poor choices have impacted not only yourself, but your peers as well."
One more glance across their pelt for any injuries, although it seemed they were relatively fine.
"You may return to Thunderclan, HOWEVER," she stated, tone dry and eyes sharp. "You are on tick duty for the next half-moon. If you break the code again, I will not be so lenient. Now go, Report to Sundust or Rosepaw to organize the mousebile you'll need for tending to the elders."
A final flick of her tail dismissed the young cat, and Sparrowflight turned back to give them an escort back towards camp.
[ Done! Wisteriapaw has been accepted and will be moved off the missing list ]
Tulippaw
@Jayvines [This would take place about a day after this]
It had been somewhat hard trying to find her way back after being gone for such a long time, but after a bit of working her way through the terrain, she found the familiar scent of the borders. Thunderclan. Stars, how she had missed that scent. It was an oddly comforting feeling to smell it again, it had been so long. To her ears even the birds' song seemed to be more clear and joyful, the trees' shade more cooling, the scents of prey more prominent, and even the grass, roots, and other plants under her paw softer.
She had stopped for a bit as a bunch of feelings made her legs quiver somewhat. She had thought about doing this and it had then seemed like something good, but now, when her paws were at the border of her former home, she could feel a lump of something... dark starting to grow and loom inside her. She had seen- or, er, notices many of her clanmates going missing and returning, always with an explanation. Be that getting lost, hurt and being unable to return until they had healed, or being taken by twolegs, they had almost all been able to explain and justify going away. And sure, Tulippaw had two been picked up by some twolegs, but she hadn't tried to come back, and the whole reason she had been taken was because she had gone outside when she wasn't allowed to.
But here she was, and she couldn't exactly turn back now. She hoped that Dawnstar would have left Thunderclan by now, since she didn't feel like meeting that massive, scary cat again. She wasn't sure who was in charge of Thunderclan now - maybe Starclan had picked someone? - but she hoped it wasn't anyone who was the least bit like the Shadowclan leader.
Sparrowflight was... unsettled. Pacing up and down the borders had done little to stem the seemingly constant stream of thoughts and the never-ending tides of grief that snuck up on her before dragging her down into their empty, longing depths.
Everyone was gone. Her mother, her adoptive siblings, Ridgeclaw, and now Cindersky... What had she done to warrant the wrath of the stars? And how could she fix it?
However, the slightest of familiar scents caught her attention in her downwards spiral of thoughts. A scent that froze her in place for but a moment before her paws began moving of there own accord, racing towards the source of the scent before skidding to a halt as the cat in question came into view.
"Tulippaw..." she breathed out, voice hoarse and disbelieving. "Where?... How did... Oh, stars damn it all."
With no other warning she rushed forward to put her head on her younger sister's shoulder, eyes misting up at the unexpected reunion.
"I'm both terribly upset with you and incredibly grateful to see you in one piece," she managed to croak out alongside a forced chuckle. "Never, EVER do that to me again... Please."
A ruffled dilute calico pelt accompanied Mottlekit into the territory. He was beyond scared and couldn't believe he would wonder off like that. His mouth was dry and he was gone for about a few weeks. Making him mentally stained with fear. He just wished to be squashed up in his nursery nest without any disruptions from his family members. He arrived near camp to smell discreetly the scent of Thunderclan. The buzzing and the birds that ringed in his ears made him feel teary-eyed. He sniffled finally bawling out tears from his eyes. He wanted to put up this act of being tough and unshakable. But his rabbit-like heart took over in a mere second.
" I-I'm sorryy!! hiccup I-I want to go back home! I should have never run off!! hiccup I'm soo sorry!! " He wailed as tears flowed down uncontrollably, that would surely give him a lesson to never escape camp. He begged soulfully as his white paws quivered under his shaking legs. Drooping his head to escape from the terror he had seen outside.
Brown paws rushed through the underbrush as the sound of weeping and wailed apologies began to sound throughout the trees close to camp. Pushing past a rather thick piece of undergrowth, Sparrowflight finally caught sight of Mottlekit and quickly moved to his side with a concerned rumble in her chest.
"Shhh Mottlekit, you're safe," the tan molly murmured, giving a few comforting licks as she checked him over for injuries. "You look hungry young one. I imagine your adventure didn't go as planned?"
stormpaw walked amons't the ground feeling everything he skidded after hearing a twig crack, guess being away from the clan for a bit breaks the safety feel, his eyes looked around" hello?" he called out knowing he somewhere probably in the territory" starclan guide me to camp or somewhere where i know, i don't being alone i want to see my siblings" he said continuing to walk through the territory
@Jayvines
"Well, I should hope you'd want to see them again," Sparrowflight stated, dropping down from a nearby tree as the familiar apprentice made his way back into the territory. "If you didn't, I'd have some questions. However, what possessed you to go wandering off on your own Stormpaw? I seem to remember you had a rather good head on your shoulders when it came to following the rules..."
Thunderclan's apprentices should know better. Especially with all the recent outsider activity and Cindersky's deadly run-in with the badger.
Lavendermask padded towards the border, her best friend, Darkmoon, by her side. 'Hello? Sparrowflight? Copperfire?' she called anxiously. 'Anyone? Sundust, Rosepaw? Sparrowflight?' She stared at the forest. Nothing. Only a slight breeze streaming through the trees.
~ ~*~ ~ ~*~ ~
Darkmoon glanced at Lavendermask. That... probably wouldn't work. 'SPaRrOWWFlIGht!!' she called. Hmmph. The leader had to come.
These rogues were becoming a real thorn in her side. After the flurry of recent activity, Sparrowflight had taken to patrolling Thunderclan's borders as often as she could. If she didn't find outsiders attempting to sneak in, she certainly found members of her clan that seemed to whisk from place to place like the wind. A rather loud yowl of her name, caught her attention and she changed course in order to meet whoever it was screeching up a storm.
Imagine her surprise when two of Thunderclan's missing queens turned up in the middle of the forest.
"Lavendermask. Darkmoon," she started, eyes narrowing as she looked them both over. "Where in Starclan's name have you been?"
Vinekit looked around "hello? Anyone here? I'm quite scared now..don't really want to be out here..." she meowed, looking for somebody...unless it's another snake of course
Another kit...But this one didn't seem quite as emotionally distraught. in Starclan's name did all these young cats manage to sneak out of camp? Were the queens not doing their jobs? Were her peers merely turning a blind eye to their antics? Whatever the case, this needed to be nipped in the bud before something terrible happened.
"Vinekit. What are you doing out of camp?" Sparrowflight's disapproving tone echoed out from behind the younger cat as she approached.
Harefire padded into ThunderClan teritorry. His tailtip flicked nervously. Sparrowflight would not be pleased. Or was it Sparrowstar now? @Jayvines
Tail twitching back and forth irritably, Sparrowflight paused in her patrol along the border as a familiar face appeared in her periphery. Thankfully it wasn't another rogue, but she could never be too careful these days.
"Harefire," she called out, tone stern as the tom waltzed right back across the border without waiting for an invitation. "Where have you been? It's been almost a moon since you've been in camp."
