ShadowClan Territory

buzzardpaw frowned and rolled her eyes at adderflowers words, feeling her mood slowly becoming worse. ugh! and she was actually feeling pretty good today too. "yeah, whatever." she grumbled, padding after her mentor with a long, dramatic sigh.

walking out into the territory and following not too far behind adderflower, she let out a groan. "the other clans already hate shadowclan! there are way worse apprentices than me, you should be worrying about them, and some of the warriors." seriously, she felt as if she was being targeted just a bit. how would she put shadowclan to shame when there were bunny and traitor sympathizers?

well, i can always go train with wolfwhisper if adderflower becomes too much. she thought with a small grin. wolfwhisper for the win! if adderflower knew that, buzzard bet that she would apologize for everything wrong she's done! (one can dream.) "at least im not a windclan lover or anything, you should be grateful for that much." she added on with a huff, quickening her pace so she was right beside her mentor.

Wolfwhisper for a moment wondered if the Queen was reading into every single thought he had ever had. It made his gaze flicker to the ground. He could see dirt wedged in between his paws. There was such silence, an unspoken statement that bobbed in the middle of them. Still a few tailsteps away that if the tom needed to he could run. (Home was all but an afterthought.)

He gave her a flick of his ear, picking up on how she skipped over his question. A way he was trying to get out of this. Wolfwhisper felt trapped in her gaze. "Aaa, I'm not - I'm, " His words trailed for a moment. "S, someone.. thinks ot,,therwise,," He should have accepted the sympathy the moment he got it. (This was pushing it. We don't need pity. We don't even deserve pity and this is just, please don't talk.) "Starclan, I g, guess.. is the someone and th, they're pretty.. " He gave a half attempt at a shrug. Big. Starclan was the say all do all.

Then he quickly realized how awful it sounded because this cat - Honeyfrost, gosh, he needed to use her name - was trying so hard to convince him otherwise and Wolfwhisper should just stop. He was souring Honeyfrost's mood and how dare he even drop it a little bit?

He didn't have time to speak before she was replying. He didn't dare interrupt.

"You uh, you really make m, me want to.. to believe that, " Wolfwhisper confessed, his ears flattening. He begged to differ was the ending of the statement. It was on the tip of his tongue. "It's just -- I had, had to have d, done something.. Otherwise why would.. why would they just .. do that to her? Me...? And, and I figured it out -- in the most simplest.. words it's .. my existence. That's uh, why." She did not ask for an answer but the tom still gave. He needed it out for the open before he took back everything. It made sense. Always a slacker, always one paw behind, never amounted to anything, he was a traitor and --

The small tom glanced back up at Honeyfrost. His heart got caught in his throat because she seemed so determined. Pleading. Sympathetic. Harsh.

He wasn't sure if he was being judged or if she really cared but all he could feel was tears welling right back up in his eyes. "M'sorry, I'm so sorry.. I'm not, suicidal.. You really .. don't have to stress about this.. I'll be okay, just - thank you, I, " He was back to scrambling for words.

Briarkit was out in the territory after a dramatic {in her opinion} escape from camp. But unlike other kits who get out of camp unsupervised, she actually was being the dork everyone knew her as and was finding her mother a flower. A nice, pretty, pink flower that looked like a star.

Brackenpaw looked down as a voice called her name. Bouncepaw! She had never actually seen him out of camp. Fresh air was vital to her sanity, maybe his too. Hey, Bouncepaw! She called, making her way down to the ground and then once she got close enough, jumping down. If she rolled her ankle, then that would be ironic as hell, with the medicine cat apprentice right next to her. But she didn't, which was okay too. She didn't want every time she saw this cat he was fixing her up.

I haven't been mauled by dogs recently, so you could say I've been well. She said brightly, dipping her head in greeting to him. How've you been?

(You're right, we should wrap this up - this'll be my last post with Pippa here. You can reply to it if you'd like. Also, since they're not in the camp anymore, I'm making this post here.)

~ PIPPA ~

Pippa overheard Falconfeather talking and puffed out her small light ginger-and-brown chest, her head and tail held high. "I'm not just a kit!" she declared. "I'm almost five moons old!" Excitement coursed through her veins as she bounced up and down, despite the tiredness accumulating in her legs. "I can't wait to join a Clan! They seem awesome. I've just gotta find Shimmer, but I'll talk to another Clan leader first." She tipped her head onto one side, her slightly heterochromatic eyes fixed on both Falconfeather and Tigerpaw.

When she got more information on the other Clans, Pippa stopped, her eyes growing wide. She was learning so much! There were three whole other groups to join! RiverClan did sound fun, especially if there was stuff going on, but if it wasn't being recommended, then she should head somewhere else. She looked across the barren moor of the wind-group. "WindClan sounds boring," Pippa mewed light-heartedly. "I'm gonna go to ThunderClan! The thunder-cats sound awesome! I wanna be a thunder-cat!" Pippa looked up at Tigerpaw, grinning widely. "Well, goodbye! The shadows sound fun, but Dawnstar won't let me join them. And thanks Tigerpaw! You're really nice and stuff! Oh yeah, and thanks feather-falcon for the information!"

Before either cat could reply, Pippa bounded away, her amber eyes sparkling with excitement. Her long tail streamed out behind her as she headed in the direction that Falconfeather had indicated. This was awesome! She was joining a cat-group, and she'd learn to be strong and fierce and a true member of the Clan-group! Her energy came back to her. She wondered what this Evening-cat had in store. Evening, Dawn, Twilight... were all the leaders named after a time of day? Pippa wanted to be leader! But then that meant less fun. Well, she wanted a cool name.

Rookpaw was now rather bored with out her best frienemy to annoy her. But since Finchpaw was confined to camp, there was nothing she could do. Part of her would at least enjoy the silence and lack of dares and smug comments. And hey, maybe she'd get to hunt something.

Tigerpaw chuckled. "I sure hope she talks right soon," She meowed to Falconfeather. "Feather-falcon. Man, that's good. Mind of I call you that from now on?" Tigerpaw cracked up. She knew she was probably having way too much fun with this, but whatever.

@-Skyfall-

Bouncepaw watched the apprentice leap around, it was almost mesmerizing to see. He let out a yawn as she fell near him. He seemed much calmer than usual, despite...circumstances.

"You're alive, a-are you not?" he quizzed, "That's saying more than many other c-cats....though..." he let out another yawn, "I was just o-out looking for herbs. I s-scented a badger not too far from here, though...so I was heading back."

(So, this'll be the last one.)

Falconfeather stared off after Pippa as she bounded with endless enthusiasm towards Thunderclan. Strange cat. Hearing Tigerpaw begin to speak, she turned her head towards her apprentice. "No, no, no," she laughed, "you can't call me Feather-falcon, unless I can call you Paw-tiger." She turned away from Pippas racing form and faced Tigerpaw. "Are all kittypets that strange?" Without waiting for an answer she continued, Now, I want you to catch two toads and a blackbird before I get back to camp." She grinned and started meandering back to the camp of shadows, waiting for Tigerpaw to begin her hunting.

Adderflower huffed.

“The other clans hate us because we intimidate them. We are stronger, cleverer, and better skilled. That means we have an image to protect, you would do well to remember that.”

She rounded past the pines and started to bring her apprentice closer to the border. Slowly the trees were thinning out and the shrubbery was becoming more spaced.

As she heard Buzzardpaw mention that “at least she is not a Windclan lover” she growled and turned back to shoot her apprentice a warning look.

“You better not be but I wouldn’t consider you being any kind of lover. Do cats even like you?” She asked, mockery dripping forms her words.

She didn’t wait for the younger cat to anwsers and instead padded forward until she was a foxtail away from the border. She sat down and nodded at the stop next to her, wordless telling Buzzardpaw to sit down.

“What do you know about Windclan?” She asked as her gaze browsed the open land before them.
