WillowClan! Warriors RP

Foxpelt nodded. She sat down and yawned.

Paintpaw cocked her head to one side.

Featherstar gave his new apprentice a sympathetic glance and then looked at Dapplepaw. "Show her what to do will you?" He mewed, and then gazed around the camp. "The elder's den is just over there, you'll need enough moss for two. Don't worry, you're not getting elder duties yet though."

"Tired?" Lionblaze taunted, and then yawned himself as well.

Paintpaw fallowed the spotted she-cat. (You do know you play Dapplepaw Hidden?)

"Tired?" she mocked back purring.

(I know!)

Dapplepaw growled inwardly, but stayed obedient on the outside, keeping her darker thoughts to herself. "See that little fallen tree over there?" She mewed, flicking her tail without so much as looking at it. "That's the den. Now lets go." She said, taking off into the woods without seeing if she was being followed.

There was a twinkle in Lionblaze's eyes, "Why yes, I'd have to say so. I'd kill for an afternoon nap but I think Cloudheart would have my fur for it." He mewed, almost forgetting he was a warrior and not an apprentice. The tom looked down for a moment, and then sighed. "You know its not much better then before." Something flashed in his eyes, almost doubt and uncertainty. "Being warriors."

(Ok just asking.)

Paintpaw rushed out after Dapplepaw. The wind flattening her fur.

"It feels like twice as much work." She purred, "But there are fewer responsibilities."

"Yeah, and I know were still young warriors, but the seniors treat us still like were apprentices." He mewed, looking down.

Dapplepaw headed towards the stream where some of the best moss grew on the trees around it. The stream was also where great misfortune had fallen upon the clan. Or so the story said. That it was where the monster hit Bramblefur, and Earthpelt.

Foxpelt licked a black paw and drug it over her ears. "All in due time." Wanting to change the subject she saw the kits. "When do you think Featherstar will make the kits apprentices?"

Paintpaw watched to see what the she-cat would do.

Lionblaze followed her gaze. "Any day now. Maybe even tomorrow." He mewed, "And the other apprentices?"

Dapplepaw slashed at the moss when they had arrived, cutting it perfectly, and then looked at Paintpaw like 'well? You going to do it or not?' She snorted and started walking back to the camp.

"Sunpaw and Dapplepaw have a moon or two. Wasppaw should've been made a warrior forever ago. I mean he's got everything down." She mewed.

As she left Paintpaw hissed at the dappled cat. Doing what Dapplepaw did, she carried moss back to the camp.

"Wasppaw I agree, he really should have. Why didn't Featherstar do it? He's withheld apprentices lots of times before. Stoneclaw and Reedfeather. Wasppaw was sick for a little while though wasn't he? When his siblings got sick to?" Lionblaze asked, looking at the apprentice across the clearing.

Dapplepaw padded into the camp and brought the moss to the elders den.

"He never got sick. Im his only littermate. Starclan only knows why Featherstar has done this." She gazed at the darkening sky. "We should get ready for the dusk patrols," she stood up and stretched.

Paintpaw fallowed. "Place that right there Dapplepaw," Echoflower mewed, "And yours there, Paintpaw."

(Oh fudge I screwed that one up!)

Lionblaze winced a little at his blunder. "Wanna go on it together?" He mewed, trying to make her forget his mistake.

Dapplepaw nodded, and placed it where told. She began to move the moss with her paws to make it the right size for Thunderrain.

Foxpelt smiled. "Sure."

Paintpaw watched as she tried to shape Echoflower's. "Good job, go to the clearing," Thunderrain mewed.

Dapplepaw frowned a bit, confused but did as told.

Lionblaze smiled wide, "Great, but lets get something to eat!"

Paintpaw trotted out. "Paintpaw, Sunpaw, Reedfeather, Eclipsemoon, check the borders. Dapplepaw, Wasppaw, Stoneclaw, cloudheart, Hunting partol."

Foxpelt grabbed two mice for them. She started to eat it carefully. "This leaffall is going to kill us," she whispered a little to loud.

"What?" Lionblaze was stunned at her words. "Were doing fine, like we always have. Nothings changed. The prey always runs low in Leaffall."

Dapplepaw, Cloudheart and Stoneclaw reported for the hunting patrol, looking around for Wasppaw.

"Not this low. When i took Paintpaw and Dapplepaw this morning we had to hunt most of sunhigh to get what we did. I even searched for squirells and got nothing. Something bad will happen soon."

Wasppaw padded in behind Icebreeze. Placing the herbs down he joined his patrol.

(Wasppaw is her apprentice? Cuz you didn't put that down on the list!)

Lionblaze looked down, "Yeah you're right. I'll ask Featherstar about expanding the territory into the pine woods for more food."

(Hes a warrior. He was just helping.)

"That would be a good idea." Foxpaw burried her finnished prey. "Ready?" she asked the golden tom.

Lionblaze licked his chops and then got up. "Ready."

"All set?" Stoneclaw asked, looking at the other three, gaining nods from Dapplepaw and Cloudheart.

Wasppaw nodded. He watched as the dusk patrol left.

Foxpelt smiled. "Race you to the training hallow?" she asked.

"But I thought we were going to.. oh right... nevermind." He said, and stood up.

Stoneclaw took the lead without really meaning to, Cloudheart and Dapplepaw following behind. "I heard news of the rouge's being idle. But Featherstar wants that patrolled the most still." He mewed, leading them that way.

Wasppaw nodded. He slunk through the under growth.

Fopelt took off out the camp. She jumped over bushes and fallen logs.

Lionblaze was right behind her, trailing her almost.

As Stoneclaw drew near the rouge border, he smelled something familiar. It was a mix between clan and rouge, like Earthpelt had for many moons until that scent had faded away. As he stopped the patrol with a tail held high and eyes searching the twoleg place. He saw three little kits.

Wasppaw watched as the patrol came to a stop. Seeing the kits he hissed, "Lets just leave them to die."

Foxpelt stopped. when he caught up, Panting, she mewed, "Ok we can hunt around here."
