Hawkpaw|9 Moons|Apprentice|18/18 Health|Camp|Green Bandana on Neck

Hawkpaw looked to Snowpaw. "I-I guess talking about it wouldn't be so bad." He stammered looking to Snowpaw. "Are you sure you want to hear it?" He asked looking to the she. He didn't want to lay anything on her. When he thought of the incident he thought of Vixenpaw's death. He didn't want Snowpaw to think of that.

Snowpaw nods. "Yeah. I'm okay. Talking about it will make you feel better." She says. "I feel better when others feel better." She says "It's weird." She says sitting down. She waits for his story. She felt like a kit waiting for the elder to tell a story. She hoped talking about would make Hawkpaw feek better> It worked for her but maybe not for everyone. She hoped.

Hawkpaw looked to Snowpaw. "Well, it was when I was about 6 moons. I had just started my training. My mother wanted to show me around camp. My mentor agreed even though he had wanted to show me. We were having a nice discussion when my mother heard a noise." He stopped then continued. "She sniffed the air but then let out a hiss. I didn't really know what was going on. I just though another cat from camp was out and about. Cause I couldn't smell that good back then either." He chuckled then looked back to Snowpaw. "Then a cat jumped out of the bushes grabbing my mother. Another one came and knocked me over. My mother let out a growl and then knocked the rouge that was on me. She told me to run. I hesitated then turned. I looked back and saw the rouges. One of them was laying on the floor eyes open. I could smell fear in the air and I knew the rouge was dead. I heard a yowl and my mother was thrown against the tree. The rouge ran away leaving my mother on the ground. She was breathing heavily and was bleeding out. I looked into her eyes and then, she died." Hawkpaw looked to his paws his ear flattened against his head. "She didn't even get to say anything. She had lost so much blood that she just died. I dragged her back to camp her blood on my pelt. I tried to tell everyone what happened but it was as if someone was holding my mouth. No one questioned me, they knew what happened. " Hawkpaw stopped and looked to Snowpaw smiling. "I guess it does make me feel better." He meowed his ears still flattened.

Shrewflight - 25 moons - Warrior -30/30- Camp - Mentions: Sunstar (indirectly), open

Nodding as the leader busied himself, Shrewflight grabbed a piece of dry moss from the den's storage and went outside; after putting her face up to the swollen clouds and letting the rain soak the moss, she returned, very aware that she couldn't stand the taste of moss. Now's not the time for petty thoughts, she scolded herself.
"I goff de stumff!" She tried to say around the moss. "Neef amyfing elsh, guysh?"

Stormberry - 28 moons - Co-Deputy - 30/30 health - Clan territory - Mentions: Stripepaw, Swallowpaw

Stormberry sat down and scented the air along with the apprentices, wanting to make sure that they didn't miss anything out. He curled his tail a bit when he encountered the foul scent of fox, even if it was faint. He was pleased as he listened to Stripepaw explain what he could scent; he seemed to have picked up most of the scents in the area, and he expected nothing less from an apprentice of 11 moons. "Very good, Stripepaw, but didn't you pick up on another scent nearby, too? I'm sure you know what I'm talking about, Swallowpaw." He said, his tone encouraging and friendly. He looked over at Swallowpaw and expected her to fill in the gap by mentioning the scent of sparrows, giving her a chance to show off the progress she had made with her scenting skills. He only really liked to be serious if he had to, and he felt apprentices learned better from positive encouragement rather than intimidation and scolding, at least in most situations. He found himself a bit unnerved by the fox scent, though, and he wanted to keep the two apprentices safe. "Now that we've picked up fox scent, just remember to be extra careful. I'll always be nearby though, if anyone needs saving." He mewed, typically confident in his fighting abilities.

Snowpaw felt bad for Hawkpaw. She knew he was sad. She thought hard. If he was six moons, she thinks, then I must of been four. She looks at him. She nuzzles him nicely. "Hey," She thinks for a second for what to say. "I can't say I know how you feel." She says, her voice full of kindness. Well at lest she hoped she sounded kind. "But I can try to understand." She says.

Swallowpaw | 11 Moons | Apprentice | 18/18 Health | Clan Territory | Mentions: Stormberry, Stripepaw

Swallowpaw listened to Stripepaw list the scents and was ready to jump in when Stormberry asked her. "I smelled all the same things Stripepaw did and I also scented what I believe to be sparrows!" She announced proudly. Not too loudly though, as that would scare the prey. "The fox isn't strong, but it sure is nasty." Swallowpaw added, her lip curling in distaste. She turned to Stripepaw and said, "Don't worry, if we encounter the fox I trust Stormberry to protect us! Unless he needs protecting!" As she said the last part she turned and shot a wry smile at her mentor. "Can we hunt now? I feel kind of bad that I ate earlier even though I hadn't had a chance to go hunting yet."

Stripepaw sniffed the air. He had missed the scent of sparrow but that was okay. He couldn't be perfect and he felt fine. Stripepaw could scent some mice. "I smell some mice over there." He whispered pointing with his tail to the where the scent of mice was strongest. He looked back to Stormberry and Swallowpaw.

Hawkpaw looked to Snowpaw. "I understand, not everyone understands things like that. It, doesn't happen to much cats." He meowed looking back to his paws. He looked up to the sky. "At least I know she's safe." He sighed his tail twitching. He just hoped Snowpaw didn't think less of him.

Snowpaw looks at her fellow apprentice. "If that happened to me..." She says not wanting to thinks about it. "I don't know how I would carry on, your brave for talking about it." She says trying to make him feel better. "Your going to be a great warrior, no matter how hard your past has been." She says nicely and calmly. She puts pride in her words hoping it can transfer to Hawkpaw.

Hawkpaw looked to Snowpaw. "Thanks, I needed it. I think you're gonna make a great warrior as well. You're always so kind to everyone and it's nice knowing that there's always someone there for you when you need it." Hawkpaw meowed feeling his eyes start to droop. He hadn't slept in a while and was very tired.

Snowpaw looks at the fellow apprentice. She realizes how tired Hawkpaw looked. "Are you tired, Hawkpaw?" She asks. She nudges Hawkpaw. She smiles at him. She thought of being a warrior one day. She wanted to hunt without a mentor and maybe one day save someone. She smiles at the thought. "Yeah, you deffently need sleep." She says. She nuzzles him in a friendly way.

Foxflame | 16 moons | Warrior | 30/30 | Camp | Mentions: Snowecho, Open

Foxflame weakly opened his eyes.

His surroundings blurred together like moss in a river, and his head felt clouded with fog.

He shook himself awake. It seemed that he’d slept for quite a bit after collapsing. He looked at the cat before him.

“Ah, Snowecho, ‘tis you, correct? I must apologize for my foolishness. I ought to ‘ve remembered the fox. ‘Tis a part of my name after all.” Foxflame arched his back in a satisfying stretch, yawning. He began walking to the exit of the den, but as he did so, every muscle in his body seemed to protest. He remembered his days as an apprentice and how often on days with extensive training he’d feel this way, and how his mentor had told him that his body would feel better with more exercise, not less.

He realized Snowecho might’ve like to talk to him, but he was afraid they’d speak too much and he’d become complacent. Surely Snowecho realized this as well.

“I should continue my duties. ‘Twas only exhaustion that plagued me. I hunger as well—I shall let you know if anything else should befall me, greencough or injury or the like. May I go?”

After the no one had answered her, she'd placed the moss by Foxflame carefully and sat near, nervous as always. She didn't know much about injuries; the only one she'd seen had been...finite. She shuddered at the memory and pushed it aside, and was pleasantly met with the visage of Foxflame up and about, seemingly alright if not a little worse for wear. She stood, grinning in relief. He spoke to Snowecho, who seemed pretty busy with other things, and she piped up.
"U-uh, hey! I'm glad you're better. If you're still feeling woozy, I could walk you to go get food if you want, I haven't eaten either; though I'll have to hunt to make up for what I eat since I caught nothing." She laughed a little at her very poor attempt at a joke, coughed, and looked away.
"Whaddya say?"

Hawkpaw looked to Snowpaw barley able to keep his eyes open. "Yeah, I guess." He meowed. He nuzzled her in a friendly way back. "Good night." He meowed standing up. He smiled a tired smile feeling heavy. He dragged himself to the apprentice's den making it just barley to his nest. He curled up letting his eyes close. He let out a soft fur feeling happier than he had ever felt before. He let his tail warm his nose as he fell asleep letting every part of his body relax.

Snowpaw watches Hawkpaw go. She sits down in the sun. She sniffs the sweet air. She gets up, bored. She pounces on a leaf. She jumps on it. She sighs, bored again. She decides to chase a butterfly. She leaps in the air, swatting it down to the ground. She traps it in her paws. She lets it go and watches it fly away. She plops down in sun, sighing. She stays there for a while then stands up bored even more.
