A tall dark grey cat came into view and Irispaw panicked internally. What if it was an Outsider? A quick sniff told her that it was a WindClan cat. Squinting as the tomcat came closer, Irispaw recognised the pelt and the amber eyes - Fallownose, WindClan's deputy. She averted her eyes and flicked her tail as he asked her where she'd been.
The slate-grey she-cat tried to remember the last days before she'd disappeared from camp. She recalled being on a territory tour with her mentor- ex-mentor, Snapclaw. Irispaw wondered what happened to Snapclaw. The apprentice figured that she was doing just fine. She remembered following her through the territory and hills, before she lost sight of her mentor.
"Uhh..." Irispaw hesitated. Fallownose might think she was lying. It was worth a try though, right? She WAS telling the truth, after all!
"Snapclaw and I were on a territory tour," she said. "Um... I was following her, but she went too fast and then I got lost... yeah." It sounded pretty unbelievable. Nonetheless, Irispaw squared her shoulders but avoided Fallownose's amber gaze.
Fallownose waited patiently as Irispaw hesitated before finally giving her explanation of where she had been. If she hadn't been an apprentice and hadn't mentioned Snapclaw, he might not have believed her. However, it was plausible for an apprentice who hadn't gotten a tour yet to get lost, and it was a bold move to mention a warrior, especially if you didn't know whether they were still in the Clan or not.
"Unfortunately, Snapclaw went missing as well. Did anything happen while you were lost?" Usually Fallownose would've called it good, and he was definitely going to let her back in, but he wanted to know if she had encountered any suspicious outsiders.

The little molly was fairly certain she would be allowed back into the clan, but did she want to go back? Would the clan really be for the better if she did return? Questions, questions swarmed around her head making her dizzy, and she wanted more than ever to return to her little sanctuary, her daydreaming pool. But she knew she had to come back to her clan, she knew it in her bones.
What had changed while she was gone? Was Fallownose still deputy, and Twilightstar still leader? And what of Cowpaw? Did he have his full name, or even an apprentice? Oh stars, she must have missed so much! Would anyone remember? Did anyone even notice she was gone?
Tears of frustration pricked in her eyes which she blinked away quickly. She didn’t see why it had to be her. Why it had to be then that she visited her pool, and why it had to be her who was taken away.
She didn’t see why it had to be Silt.
That thought was quickly shoved to the farthest corner of her mind, where other difficult thoughts and memories like those of her mother lay dusty and cobweb-covered. That was a Too Much thought.
Fallownose padded out of the camp entrance, his ears up and alert as he pondered which part of the territory to hunt in. He didn't get very far, however, as he soon ran into Tidepaw, an apprentice who had been missing for quite some time.
"Tidepaw, you've been gone for quite a while. What happened?" the deputy asked, giving her a once over and quick sniff to make sure she didn't have any injuries that needed treating.

Spiderclaw grunted as he paddled through the territory, his feet ached, but the badly scarred tom would not stop till he finally got to his clan, he'd been gone way to long... his daughter.... Wolfkit... had been surprise when she'd shown up one day near his temperary nest... she had found him and he had found her... for the first time in his life he'd been happy, so happy.... till the day he learned the real reason for Wolfkits disappearance from the clan, the reason why she's been there, by their nest... they had some disease, a disease that was killing them slowly, but surely... he'd token care of her while she'd been alive... till she was gone, but he knew she'd gone happily, happy she'd finally found her father... and knew her mothers name...
He'd lived in Mourning since that day, falling into dipression till he was almost dead, before hearing her voice, urgeing him to stand up! to live out his life with his clanmates, serving them to the best of his abilities. but most of all she'd lead him to Fallen, a tiny kit with no one to help her.... she was a tiny thing, being a munchkin cat, but sick with a bad cold, he would not lose this kit as well! Spider paddled onwards, hoping his one good eye would lead him to his clan mates.... @Moonraven or @NinjaBloss
Fallownose padded out of the warriors' den with an intent look in his amber eyes. The deputy was on a mission, and that was to find out what the hell happened to Doepaw while she was missing, especially if it had anything to do with the rogues on the territory. The dark gray tom glanced around camp and quickly spotted the injured apprentice and softened his gaze as he padded over.
"Doepaw, if you're feeling well enough, do you have a moment to speak about what happened while you were gone?"

Doepaw had been starring at the ground, basically dissociating, trying to enjoy the little sunlight there was. She was trying to avoid her... whatever he was to her now. She felt a ripple of disgust as she thought about the cat she had once thought of as her father. A voice drifted into her mind, popping her out of her little bubble. Looking up, Doepaw was surprised to see Fallownose.
"Oh! Uh, yes sir! I-I can do that!" She had never talked to the deputy, nor her leader really. The only High Rank she'd ever spoken to was Mr. Cowpaw, who was very kind to her.

He nodded, his fur spiked on his shoulders. Would he
freak like last time? He sighed and closed his eyes to
imagine his mothers smile before she turned away. He
opened his eyes "Alright, would i be able to call flicker'paw
in for support?" he looked back to Flickerpaw who seemed
deep in thought.
Floatingleaf
Floatingleaf looked towards Beetleblaze, then nodded
"Yes, but only in an emergency, in a real battle Flickerpaw might be fighting a different cat. Once you try it out Flickerpaw can try attacking us." She made sure to look at her apprentice who looked as if she felt left out because of her face.

He looked away from the other apprentice and looked back
to their mentors. "Alright i'll get in postion" he stepped
