after she caught a shrew which was one of her favorites , she caught linnets voice . However once she turned around to face him she gave him a raised brow . Something s a bit fishy.... she thought as she sat the shrew down eh, probably nothin. "nice catch ! " she praised . She couldn't help but mentally ' aww ' at his smile . "your right about the new part. How about some birds? I'm gonna catch a nice plump black bird " she meowed with a happy swish of her tail.

Not for herself but for Flintspirit. She hadn’t seen the tom yet which threw a wrench in her stomach, how was she supposed to look after the idiot if he just wasn’t around? The short she cat paced anxiously around the ravaged camp tail twisting with irritation. She had eliminated the possibility of him being in the warriors or leaders den, not in the medicine cat den either. She had woken up early to watch the patrols get sent off... but it wasn’t him that had done it?

This made everything difficult- cats were panicked burnt and tired and she doubted flint had actually eaten because of it. He worked too hard for his own good and sure he was a good deputy but that would be the death of him. She made her way towards the messily arranged fresh kill pike- err more like charred kill pile. She pawed over a few mice their fur scorched right off their backs. Her ears pinned to the back of her head in frustration. She bent down to pluck the biggest one up hesitantly, the smell bringing her back to the fifteen foot wall of flames that engulfed camp in a fiery blaze and the taste.. she nearly gagged but assuming it was only the fur that was burnt it seemed to be fine.
She’s check her bases one more time to eliminate anything she might’ve overlooked. With a tom that big how was she going to miss him a second time? She headed for the warriors den that scent of burning mixed with herbs embracing her and clinging to the roof of her mouth. She sneezed and nearly dropped the prey but managed to keep it.
She took a step into the den and pushed her way through sleeping cats with singed fur and burn marks scattered along their bodies- what an odd smell.

She looked up and down the walls anxiously searching each nest before withdrawing when she didn’t see him. ‘ ‘ mmphf rats ‘ ‘ she mumbled around the mouse before trotting towards the medicine cat den and once again poking her head in. Here there was even more burn victims... lungs full of thick smoke and fur burnt beyond recognition. She shivered but pressed through the charred brambles. Eyeing each cat in the den down and even padding through to the second part of the cave- nothing. Then she turned on her heels and climbed her way back out defeated. He couldn’t be out in the territory would he? She hadn’t seen him leave this morning..?

Flintspirit made his way to the temporary clearing of their temporary camp, eyes heavy and pawsteps shaky. He knew he needed to tell Littlebear about his departure before he left for the Starcave with Tallmarsh. He hadn’t told Fuzzrush, but he’d talked to her yesterday and planned on telling her once he had returned to camp.
He had taken shelter within the roots of a tree branch, the same place he he’d collapsed on the night of the fire. Fuzzrush remained there with him, which he was grateful for. Flintspirit wasn’t looking forwards to sleeping alone in what would be his new den. If we can even rebuild the camp... On his patrol with Fuzzrush, he’d seen that the camp looked ragged and terrible, completely burnt out. The fire had ruined everything.
Green eyed spotted his young friend standing within the middle of their camp, and he made his way over to her. “Hey Littlebear.” He meowed cautiously. He wasn’t sure if she had heard the news abut Passionstar yet, Flintspirit hadn’t had the heart to tell the clan himself. He’d simply decided to first go to the Starcave and then announce everything once he got back the next morning. He told Tallmarsh he’d leave Springingsky in charge while they were gone, she was a capable warrior as well admit Pasisonstar’s mother. She would know how to protect the clan tonight.

Her only response to his question was a quick nod as she tried to allow herself to keep a clear head.
“I have something to tell you...” she started off as they began to walk away from the other cats of the clan. she turned her eyes away from him. she could feel the pure anxiety as it crept up her throat. ‘make a joke out of it, why don’t you.’ She thought trying to smile. she knew she made a mistake, but she realized she would deal with it and was prepared to love her kits, but it just, it was going to be so hard to tell her best friend. he was the first cat she planned to tell, she just didn’t want to look fat in his eyes. she couldn’t care less about what the other cats from the clan would think of her. and she could always just refuse to explain who the father was to other cats, and she was great at lying. she gave him another pained smile as she felt her paws trip over a root she had jumped over many times, but she tried her best.

His ears flicked as she spoke, and his mind instantly started turning its gears. Nothing was ever good when somecat said those words. He knew that for a fact. He glanced over at her quickly to catch the pained smile she gave him, and he started worrying. Was she hurt? More than just burns? Was she sick? Did she lose someone important in the fire? There were so many possibilities. Visibly gulping, the large tomcat refocused his gaze on the scorched path in front of them. “Please tell me it’s not terrible news. I’ve had so much of that lately.” He meowed, his ears falling against his head as he took in a shuddering breath. That breath was followed by a few coughs.

"What?" she rasped. So many thoughts were racing through her mind. If Passionstar really was dead, then that meant that Flintspirit would become leader. Tallmarsh couldn't even remember the last thing she'd said to him. They were just beginning to make up, and now he was gone. Why would StarClan take him away?

She squeezed her eyes shut for a moment as she felt her heart clenched with grief. Her ears were pinned to her head. The medicine cat opened her eyes again, and they stung with hot tears. She'd just lost one of her closest friends. They were beginning to make up, but now they would never be able to. She could only hope that she would see him in her dreams at the Starcave, that he would be there when Flintspirit got his nine lives.

She nodded once. "You're right," she said, her voice quivering, "We need to be there for our Clan. We're all they've got now. We need to leave preferably by tonight, and put one of the senior warriors in charge." She licked her paw clean, took some of the paste they had made, and began to smear a thin layer on his wounds. She seemed distant now as she worked without thinking about it.

Her mind was on Passionstar's death, how it could've gone different, and what he would be telling her right now. She knew that he would've wanted her to move on, to take care of the Clan rather than sulking. She couldn't let herself fall down a hole like the last time he died. She knew this was different, but she wondered what she could've done. No, you can't start that, she thought. "We were just starting to make up," she murmured. "He had already forgiven me for what happened." She continued to smear the paste on Flintspirit's wounds as she spoke.

He was expecting her initial reaction. That was about how he had reacted. Minus the choking on herbs part.
He listened as she then spoke, smiling softly at her instant tone of duty. She was so responsible, when she needed to be. A lot like me... Though Flintspirit was terrified. What if when they got to the Starcave, the ancestors rejected him as the leader? What would he do then?
No. Don’t think like that. With a nod, he flicked his tail towards where other cats were mingling together, picking through the sparse pile of food they had. “I’ve already talked to Springingsky and a couple other warriors. They’re going to watch the clan while we’re away. If we want to get there in time, we need to leave pretty soon.”

He fell silent along with her a smirk she worked the paste into his wounds, his own thoughts running wild in his head. He closed his eyes slightly, trying to figure out what his next plan of action should be after the Starcave. Rebuilding... Healing... choose a deputy... There was way too much for him to think about. And he was getting a terrible headache trying to do so.

Linnetpaw looked around. "Believe me, I haven't seen birds ever since the fire!" He giggled. "Hey Lilacpaw, have you ever crossed the..borders?" He asked. "I didn't do it before, but surely as you know, Some cats know others beyond the border, especially if you're a warrior, but you'll meet them in battle, hopefully I don't have to battle, but instead be by your side when we fight." he meowed, he put his tail on her shoulder before padding off not to far just a few tail lengths away.

her ears folded back at that right....the fire.....starclan couldn't you have just ....stopped it?....or was it a sign that we were getting too comfortable?... a frown threatened to show itself. Not one of disappointment or anything but actual sadness . Her lips Quivered for a moment before she let loose a mixture of a chuckle and huff "there's still plenty of trees. I'm sure they'll come back ." she wanted to believe it . But somewhere in the back of her mind she had a feeling linnet was right. then her head tilted as she let out a humm. "actually ,no I've never been across the border. But some do have exciting stories. Why?-" then she blushed o-oh! she may have had the biggest smile she had this moon today . "I hope so too..." she somewhat whispered . She shook her head get it together ! Your gonna get distracted . "speaking of crossing . Have you ever been in the wilderness ? There may be more prey out there ."

"Heh, have you ever ate any of that gross kittypet food?" He chuckled. "But actually i haven't really, when you're an apprentice, you have to practice, sometimes i heard others question the life of a kittypet, maybe wondering if they would become a kittypet or a warrior, they aren't loyal to ThunderClan, if they want to be pampered like a kit everyday!" He meowed. "But, I shouldn't really judge about outsiders, I might have some rogue blood in me, I mean I wasn't born as an outsider, or one of my parents are a rogue, but ya know." He was practically telling his whole life story, but then he looked at Lilacpaw and pounced on her.

her eyes widened "I wasn't talking about kittypet food how dare you!" she huffed with her head raised . Then she scoffed "if they're even thinking about trying twoleg trash , then they should leave. Kittypets aren't fit for clan life " . She herself was a pure blood thunderclanner, and in turn raised by a family that thinks kittypets are the worst of feline kind. Rogues and loners at least don't depend on monstrous twolegs. Her ears twitched at the next part "atleast rogues dont depend on filthy twolegs." she commented . " but no I meant hunt forest prey out in the wilderness away from thunderclan and bring it back here. There may be better selection an-" she started but yelped as she was pounced on only to slam on to her back . "what on earth has gotten into you?" she asked .

"You say too much, I can't understand you." He meowed before getting off of her, "And you shouldn't be easily knocked over!" he meowed as he licked his paw,"But no of course, I haven't, even if I wanted to, I couldn't, especially when your brother is your mentor, that has an outsider for a mate, I can't believe she actually wanted to leave her clan just to be with my brother, talk about breaking the warrior code." he scoffed, abit ashamed of his brother still for making wrong decisions. "Not even father approves of this, that's why we hardly treat her as an ThunderClan cat, but I will sometimes....but it feels wrong." He sighed.

“Okay, so... um... You were discussing joining with Passionstar, right? Flintspirit asked, nodding to the cat in front of him. Otter had approached him that day about joining, and Flintspirit didn’t really know what to do. He’d made it clear that other clan cats were not allowed to join with Thunderclan’s current state. But he figured allowing this cat to join wouldn’t be that big of a problem. Especially since it had already been talked about briefly with Passionstar, before the fire.

Otter sniffed then reeled his head back, unprepared for the smoking air that filled his lungs, "Y-yes, sorry to be a bother about it I know you all aren't in the best position to welcome newcomers but I thought I could be of help even before this." His dark brown fur was still wet and matted to his body from his latest swim, the stench of old water, various herbs and fish clung to him as he attempted to steady his long brown tail and failed as it lashed around hysterically. "S-so, is there like a um test I need to pass? Because for Passionstar he just asked me to give him my reasoning so would you like that too?"
