The damned ass seemed determined to get back at them for driving them out.
She hadn't gone further than a fox's length when the acrid and earthy tones of marsh and pinewood came to her.
A fire lit in her belly and her blood roared.
She quickly changed directions to intercept head on with the cat.
"Go back to camp, both of you," she barked the order, eyes ablaze with hate.
"I'm staying here. We cannot afford to lose them."

"Im staying with you." Growled Sparkfire.

[ @Arie - no worries! that's plenty ^^]

Moonpaw scooted over closer so she was more so next to Breezefeather than in front of him. At the moment his tail reached her shoulder, she felt her legs give out and her haunches sink into the ground until she was in a somewhat sitting position. She felt as though she wanted to cry. To scream. To beg StarClan to bring their leader back. The young molly had no idea why it was affecting her like this. Perhaps the loss of her parents at such a young age? Both Runningheart and Meadowtail had been taken too soon, and left a too young Moonpaw wondering why she was all alone. But at least she had her faith, her optimism. She wouldn't let this beat her down.

"Thank you, Breezefeather. I don't know why it's getting to me like this. But I want to be strong and positive, and set as much an example as I can, given being only an apprentice." She knew her Clanmates were also tired and scared and paranoid, so she also knew she couldn't be. Gazing up at the WindClan deputy, a flash of admiration shown in her blue eyes. "Is there anything else I can do to help? Do you need anything done around camp? Perhaps just someone to talk to, even?" As a kit who'd spent a lot of her days not having anyone to talk to, she knew that might be the thing most needed right now, especially Breezefeather who could now potentially have Twilightstar's duties slated onto his shoulders.

Well, this wasn't working! How the hell did they catch their prey like this? Dawnstar had long ago given up on hunting hares, she lacked the speed to properly catch them when they went in an all-out sprint. What worse was that they ended up running down holes that she failed to spot. It was such a pain, there were no trees to slow them down! Irked, her luck changed when he picked up that scent again. Stronger this time, Dawnstar halted as she turned and stared in one direction, she raised her tail high over her head, lifted her ears, and smiled faintly to herself as she spotted the silhouettes of cats.

"Finally," muttered the leader, "Bunnystar never took this long to find me." That explained the herb scent, the one at the head was the WindClan medicine cat, couldn't recall the name.

"Do you know how long you've kept me waiting?" She growled, voice thick with arrogance and annoyance, blaming them completely for inconveniencing her.

Fallenstorm glared at the cat she now knew to be Dawnstar. “We’re not going anywhere.” She hissed. But it just got better didn’t it? Now the over sized toad was blaming them for her trespassing. “So sorry. Not. And I don’t really care how long you waited.” Spat Fallenstorm. @Undertaker @Rainquail @Lionblaze2008

Breaking into a minor coughing fit Crowtooth reluctantly nodded and shuffled back, using another dead end side tunnel as a space to stand aside and he wheezed "Yes sorry Im having a bit of a flare up of my breathing issues right now, it doesnt happen often but when it does I just need a moment to breath. Once Im done and get right on packing away dirt you dislodge and re-enforcing the new tunnel. Thanks for offering Fawnbrair." Breezefeather and Fawnbrair probably couldnt see his tail waving them along into the new hole in the wall but maybe they could feel the air shift. Crowtooth just needed a moment to do his breathing exercises and he'd be fine, the air down here was probably just more stale than most of the places in the tunnel systems and was messing with the tom.

//Sorry, I thought I had mentioned you


Coldamber's tail lashed.
Not only had both cats refused to return to camp to call for aid, Dawnstar eventually caught up with them before she could attempt to get the jump on her.
Pissed, she whirled on the ShadowClan leader.
"Twilightstar's disappearance and your arrival aren't a coincidence, are they?"
She hissed and stepped between her patrol and the dark tabby.
"Where did you take her?"
She flicked her tail in the signal that meant, "flee" hoping her stupid and prideful patrol mates ran for help. She was the only one even remotely safe to be left alone with the ShadowClan leader. If she had any ounce of dignity or honor, she wouldn't touch a Medicine Cat that hadn't attacked.

When something hit him, he dug his claws into the ground as much as he could while not damaging them and managed to stand against Otterberry's attempt at knocking him over. "Where has your strength gone are you becoming weak in your old age?" he echoed, a smile on his face as he turned to face her properly when she started to bring up the old jokes again. Seemed today would be filled with hints at the past and how much both of them had changed and aged as well.

"My reflexes? I care to remind you that my reflexes are perfectly fine, however yours seem to be lacking lately," to emphasis his point Breezefeather made sure to quickly bump into her, with an amused smile on his face. "My bones are quite pristine as well and surely none of us are as fragile as Deertremble. Because none of us are just as old, however much you like to hurt my feelings and insult me for my age." He was old, but he was nowhere near elder age yet, at least not yet.

Yet, back to the murder. Or kill. Whatever it might be. Otterberry was right, usually a snake bite and such did not leave any blood as the stupid thing would rather squeeze until the victim passed out or do something similar. It was not a particularly bloody afair which to him ruled out the fact that it was a snake.

"So, what we do know then is that it likely wasn't a snake. At least not the kill. But, that still does not answer the fact that Halfpaw said he saw a snake, so I don't know what to think. Do you have any opinion of that Otter?"

Hedgekit aimed a paw at a small stick she was training with. She wished she had a sparring partner. Then maybe stuff would get a little more interesting. Hedgekit couldn't wait to become an apprentice. She was pretty much ready.
