Thank you so much to everyone who participated in this year’s gift exchange! As always, your creations were absolutely wonderful and you never fail to blow me away with your talent and creativity! To find your name in...
Okay, so this post is a little later than what I would’ve wanted, but I’ve had a busy week 😛 I’m also a little tired, so, only one cat pic this time 😛 You’re getting plenty from Cadvent, anyway...
The seventh edition of the Blog Monthly is here – written by Lil, fresh off the printing press Hello, everyone!! The Blog Monthly is back and better than ever! I hope you all love this edition, in my opinion it is one...
Sliverthorn argues why Ashfur would’ve been better for Squirrelflight than Brambleclaw.
~Wiltingpaw~
“Yeah, being blamed and being stared at like I’ the bad cat is nothing I’m not used to.”
Hazelpaw glanced at the den entrance, where Marshpaw had left. “But you aren’t bad. You’re great! They just don’t see how amazing you are-” he clamped his mouth shut, but not before the words tumbled out. “S-sorry,” he stammered, staring hard at his paws, then looked up. “but it’s not like what I said was any less true.”
~Wiltingpaw~
He gave a sad smile, padding over to Hazelpaw and giving him a quick lick
“Thanks, Hazie.”
He didn’t believe him, but he appreciated the effort
Hazelpaw smiled and laid his head on his paws with a sigh. “Wilts?” His gaze flickered indecisively and he took a deep breath. “Are you still friends with Tigerpaw?” His voice was barely a whisper, and it trembled slightly when he said Tigerpaw’s name, but he stared up at Wiltingpaw without blinking.
~Wilting paw~
“..I don’t know, but if that means I have to stop being friends with you I guess so”
He flicked the tip of his tail onto Hazelpaw’s nose.
“Don’t stare at me like that, you’re making me feel like there’s twigs in my fur”
sorry for being inactive yall
HI I’M SORRY I’M NOT THAT ACTIVE DURING THE SUMMER!!)
me either
lol
no problem
~joining here~
Cinderflower sighed as she rested on the nursery, expecting her litter. (Are there any motherless kits? She can be their mother…Also anyone has a character who can be her mate? She’s straight.)
“First litter?” Wavepool sighed.
She looked out at her kits, frolicking.
“They may be a pain, but oh they are the best,” she muttered.
(not right now, I’ll make some later! And no mate yet, if no one steps up ill do it soon)
Blackpaw sighed. Ever since Marshpaw got sick, he was extremely bored.
Marshpaw was the one who made him happy, no matter what had come up. They fought, but barely, and quickly becoming friends again.
Seapaw looked over at her saddened brother. Poor thing couldn’t last half of a half moon without Marshpaw.
She shook her head.
Better days are coming, she told herself, We’ll be made warrior’s soon.
She had to admit, a camp with Marshpaw and her littermates felt unnatural.
(seapaw is looking for a good friend too!)
Tigerpaw growled in annoyance. She thought in order to be ambtious she had to be rude, no – fight to be first. But no – all that got you was with no friends.
Wiltingpaw’s probably still mad at me, and probably only hanging out with Hollowpaw now… She thought bitterly. Too bad Leafpaw’s sick..
Flowerkit pounced on a leaf, she didn’t know where all the other kits were, but oh was she bored!
Mintpaw padded up to Tigerpaw, worry glittering on her blue eyes. ‘Something’s bothering her…’ She thought. “Tigerpaw, are you okay?” She asked.
Cinderflower nodded to Wavepool. “Yes, It’s my first litter…I hope Featherfall isn’t busy!” She let out a mrrrrow of laughter at Flowerkit’s pounce. “Bored, little one?” She asked, giving Flowerkit an affective lick.
“Oh,” she said, “Nothing, really. It’s just I don’t feel… I have any friends..”
She shook her head, twitching her paws
Flowerkit nodded, “And I don’t know where the kits are!” she groaned.
(the only other kit atm is glitch’s, idk if they are active)
(ill make a kit for cinder rn too, and i was thinking Lilackit for the kit ur playing of Wavepool’s?)
(oops sorry glitch i meant dae not them just realized that)
(Good idea!!)
“You do!” Mintpaw declared indignantly, then touched her muzzle to Tigerpaw’s. “I’m your friend.” She told her gently.
Cinderflower purred in amusement. “Me neither!”
Tigerpaw smiled, probably for the first time in her life.
“Friend..” she muttered.
Flowerkit squealed.
“Here comes Starlingkit!” She purred. “Yay!”
She bounced up and down in front of Starlingkit.
“Time to play! Time to play!”
(created 2 kits for cinder, 1 (starlingkit) and 2 (unnamed she-cat, u can name her :))
(How does the unamed she-cat look like? Also I LOVE Stalingkit, it’s the type of name that I’d give to a kit)
Cinderflower purred. “Be reasonable, you both!”
“Okay!!” Flowerkit squealed, running out.
Starlingkit followed her.
(pinkish-grey with blue eyes)
(Dawnkit) (Also, I sent a antagonist character, and I want to tell you not be offended by anything she says cause she was meant to be evil, and if I can’t have her that’s okay)
Mintpaw sighed in relaxation as she felt a breeze wind over her fur. No MothClan cat had attacked the camp today!
(im sure its fine, i don’t think its modded yet though!)
“Mintpaw!” Morningbreeze shouted, “Time for traning. Tigerpaw will come with, as her mentor is sick.”
Mintpaw felt delight. At least Tigerpaw would come with her and not Wiltingpaw! Obviously something had happened between them…Maybe she could bring them together. “Okay!!” She called back to her mentor.
Coldpaw watched them with satisfaction. Could she get them both alone? Or maybe if Mintpaw was away…She didn’t look like the type that wanted to rule the Clan. “May I join you?” She asked Morningbreeze the more innocently she could.
Mintpaw growled lowly, just enough for Tigerpaw to hear. ‘Like I’m going to let her get to my friend!’
Cinderflower licked her kits gently. “You can play now.” She told them. “How about a badger ride?”
Tigerpaw growled in warning to Morningbreeze.
“I’m sorry, Coldpaw, I’m afraid I can’t handle three aprentices without another warrior.” Morningbreeze glared at Tigerpaw.
You happy? she thought in annoyance. Tigerpaw made her nervous, she had… bad intentions.
“Yes yes yes yes yes!” Flowerkit squealed.
Dawnkit remained quiet in the back of the nursery, fidgeting with the barrier.
Mintpaw waved her tail for Tigerpaw to sit with then. She shot a warning glance at her littermates, having noticed their comunication. She started to chatter about whatever nonsense difference between marigold and horsetail. She soon stopped herself and gulped down the squirrel, looking at Sagepaw as if asking her sister to speak. ‘PLEASE let them get along!’ She thought.
Cinderflower licked Dawnkit and pulled her into the nest with Starlingkit. “You two probably should rest a bit.” She told them. “Big fern you’ve got, Dawnkit.” She added with a purr.
“Well…” Coldpaw meowed thoughtfully. “It would be good if I rescued someone or showed a sign of loyalty to my leader…I must be made warrior before I’m deputy…AND to have an apprentice…If I’m quick I might get Flowerkit, she’s the oldest…I must get close to her…And to Starlingkit, Dawnkit and Onyxkit also.” She sighed. “AND to Wavepool’s litter that hasn’t been born. Such a lot of things to do.” Coldpaw licked her paw tiredly. “Well, first we must focus on what to do for me to become a warrior. I heard tales of cats who defeated foxes, badges, enemies…Hey!” Her eyes brightened. “May we bring a fox into camp? That way if I defeat it I might be made warrior. Yes it’s dangerous but…Well what if the fox is already dead? Then I’ll say I found it on the way to camp and killed it!” She purred with satisfaction. “It’s a good plan!”

Yellowlake growled.
“If no one is going to attack HollyClan, I’ll do it alone.” she growled, and stepped over the border.
(just for heads up, shes in hollyclan now >:))
Coldpaw smelled that scent. ‘A rogue!!’ She thought with satisfaction. “That’s okay, Morningbreeze.” She told the warrior. “It seems like I’ll have to hunt alone.” Without waiting for an response, she dashed off.
“Thank StarClan!” Mintpaw whispered to Tigerpaw. “I DON’T wanna know what she was up to.”
Cinderflower purred and took the kits into her back, pouncing and swirling.
She’s up to what I was up to… Tigerpaw thought bitterly.
“Let’s go.”
Morningbreeze led them out of camp
“Weeee!” Flowerkit squealed
Dawnkit dashed out of the den suddenly, and then dashed out of camp, not going far.
“Dawnkit!” Called Cinderflower.
Mintpaw stalked a squirrel. She put every paw on the grass spots, kept her tail low and calculated every paw step. Then she leaped into the squirrel with all her force. The squirrel climbed to the nearest branch, but Mintpaw had it covered. She had leaped on the tree instead. Her claws digged out and she slashed the squirrel’s back, held tight and then gave it a killing bite. “Thank StarClan it was me with this prey instead of MothClan.” She declared formally.
Coldpaw stalked the intruder. ‘It isn’t a rogue after all!’ She thought. ‘It’s a MothClan cat!’ Excited to meet her hero, she stumbled out of the bushes. “Hi!! Are you a MothClan cat? I’m Coldpaw and I want to help you!” She purred in wonder, tail high.
“Oh, sorry, Cinderflower. Forgot I was out of camp. I needed a few ferns and vines.” Dawnkit said
“Good job, Mintpaw!” Morningbreeze said.
“Sadly,” Yellowlake muttered, “My clan’s a coward, they won’t even try to defeat HollyClan..
“Me, on the other hand, I am ready to take over both..”
“I need to become a leader to join HollyClan to MothClan.” Coldpaw told Yarrowleaf. “There’s a cat…Tigerpaw…Who seems like she’ll be leader, and she’s not the only one.” Then she added. “Will you help me?”
“That’s okay, Dawnkit.” Cinderflower sighed.
(Lilackit/whatever you call her is about to be born)
“A good hunter is always thinking!” Mintpaw declared. She padded back to camp.
“Why not, seems like we have the same intentions.” Yellowlake said.
“Can you help me bring the vines and ferns?” Dawnkit squeaked.
Tigerpaw rolled her eyes, following after Mintpaw with a few mouse of her own.
Wavepool grunted.
It was getting harder to walk every day..
“Then we may work together.” Declared Coldpaw.
“Yes!” Answered Cinderflower, holding a bush of vines on her fangs.
Mintpaw walked after Sagepaw and Silkpaw, putting a squirrel in front of her. ‘At least one thing I get right!’ She still knew herbs better then blows. Then she had an idea. “Tigerpaw!” Mintpaw called. “Do you want to share with us?”
“What do you have in mind so far?” Yellowlake asked.
Dawnkit dragged a giant fern toward the camp enterance, and into the corner of the nursery.
Sagepaw and Silkpaw exchanged glances.
“Uhh… sure?” Tigerpaw muttered.
I LIVE ONCE AGAIN!)
~Wiltingpaw~
They padded into the clearing, eyes half-lidded. They had just awaken up, and left the dens.
Mintpaw waved her tail for Tigerpaw to sit with then. She shot a warning glance at her littermates, having noticed their comunication. She started to chatter about whatever nonsense difference between marigold and horsetail. She soon stopped herself and gulped down the squirrel, looking at Sagepaw as if asking her sister to speak. ‘PLEASE let them get along!’ She thought.
Cinderflower licked Dawnkit and pulled her into the nest with Starlingkit. “You two probably should rest a bit.” She told them. “Big fern you’ve got, Dawnkit.” She added with a purr.
“Well…” Coldpaw meowed thoughtfully. “It would be good if I rescued someone or showed a sign of loyalty to my leader…I must be made warrior before I’m deputy…AND to have an apprentice…If I’m quick I might get Flowerkit, she’s the oldest…I must get close to her…And to Starlingkit, Dawnkit and Onyxkit also.” She sighed. “AND to Wavepool’s litter that hasn’t been born.

Yes it’s dangerous but…Well what if the fox is already dead? Then I’ll say I found it on the way to camp and killed it!” She purred with satisfaction. “It’s a good plan!”
~Wiltingpaw~
Their tail twitched with displeasure as they cast a glance at Tigerpaw, turning away and walking the opposite direction, looking for Hazelpaw, or somecat to talk to.
“Looking for Hazelpaw?”, a voice asked. Colpaw hoped Wiltingpaw didn’t ask where she ahd been. “I think she’s sick. You can come with me instead.” Coldpaw knew the cat didn’t like Tigerpaw, but would it be enough for her to blindly befriend her? She hoped.
Mintpaw sighed as her mind travelled between marigold, and StarClan…
~Wiltingpaw~
“He’s sick?”
They paused, looking at Coldpaw, their tail twitched in fear as their eyes darted towards the medicine den.
“Then I should check on him.”
(Hazelpaw is innactive, so I think we can pretend he’s sick, and then when they’re active again they got better)
“Ok.”, Coldpaw shrugged. ‘It’s ironical for a medicine cat apprentice to get sick…’, she thought.
~Wiltingpaw~
“I haven’t seen you around for awhile, where have you been?”
“Hunting.”, Coldpaw answered, being careful not to flinch and to make her eyes seem positively distracted. “The Clan is hungry…”, she forced sadness. “I didn’t want MothClan to get any prey!”, she bounced and waved her tail exitedly. “Do you want to hunt with me?”
Mintpaw grew back to focus as she watched Wiltingpaw talking to Coldpaw. ‘Coldpaw, get away from them!”, she thought.
~Wiltingpaw~
“I don’t see why not.. Hazelpaw and Blankkit need food either way.. Blankkit will be made into an apprentice soon! I can’t wait for that!”
They spoke about their little sibling with a sense of fondness in their mew, their tailing flicking at the thought of xyr.
‘Blankkit, uh…?’, Coldpaw thought. “That’s awesome!”, she purred fondly. For the first time she thought deep down, her fondness was at least a little genuine. ‘Such a pity they like HollyClan so much! Or else we’d be real friends!’, she found herself thinking. As she walked out of camp, ready to get into hunting crouch at any moment, she commented distractedly. “I hope I become a warrior soon, even if only to get an apprentice. But I don’t think my name would be good. Cold anything sounds awful.” She sighed. “Coldfur, Coldflower, Coldfrost – that one isn’t THAT bad – and ugh, Coldnose. Or Coldheart. Those are the worst.”
~Wiltingpaw~
They followed with slight worry, their ears pricking as they slowly slid into position, yet it was slightly different, they seemed ready to run.
“What about Coldthorn? I think that sounds fine!”
~Willowstrike~
“Mintpaw.”
The deputy stood behind the she-cat, his gaze unwavering, and even a bit terrifying.
“Yes, Willowstrike?”, Mintpaw calmly answered. She looked at the deputy, serene, and awaited for a response.
“It does.”, Coldpaw meowed in surprise. She stifled a purr as she crouched beside them. “Mouse!”, she whispered as the small brown pelt moved on the bushes.
Cinderheart watched as her kits Dawnkit and Starlingkit played. She purred to herself. But them she viewed Willowstrike talking to Mintpaw. ‘What might he want with an apprentice?’
~Wiltingpaw~
“Go back to your spot.. I’m going to run the mouse to you..”
THeir voice shifted to a quieter version of itself, raising their tail slightly as their eyes trained on the mouse.
~Willowstrike~
“Accompany me, you haven’t been active with your training, and your mentor is nowhere to be found.”
(I don’t know whos Coldpaws mentor but I’m pretty sure they’re inactive! But if they aren’t, pretend WIllowstrike said that he wanted to give pointers)
(Did you mean Mintpaw? Because her mentor is Flowwie’s Morningbreeze. But Coldpaw doesn’t actually HAVE a mentor ;w;)
“Ok…”, Mintpaw meowed uneasily. ‘Is this some sort of trick? Suddenly the Clan deputy wants to hunt with me?’ She glanced at Tigerpaw apologically, and then told her three Clanmates. “Ok, you can keep talking without me”, she gave her littermates Silkpaw and Sagepaw a you-better-do-so sister look and followed Willowstrike. She kept her ears pricked and looked around for any prey or noisy things that could disturb her hunt. But there was only a flower – that, Mintpaw imediately recognized, was a newly growing marigold. She opened her mouth to speak, but then shut it as she remembered she was not a medicine cat. ‘But Hazelpaw is sick!’ “Willowstrike, there”s marigold right there. Shall we pick it?”. Then she lowered her voice to a whisper. “Okay, what’s this REALLY about?”
Coldpaw had to fight back a gasp; she hadn’t meant to make them do so! But she nodded and crept foward, unseathing her claws as she leaped on the mouse. Her claws missed a spot, and before she could curse StarClan out loud, the mouse ran straight to Wilteringpaw’s paws.
~Willowstrike~
He nodded, bending down to pick the marigold. He paused, looking up at Coldpaw in slight confusion.
“I’m afraid I don’t understand?”
~Wiltingpaw~
They lunged and bit the mouses throat, it was a bit sloppy because they planned on chasing it, but nonetheless killed.
Mintpaw cringed. Willowstrike had REALLY wanted to take her hunting. “Sorry, I guess I was distracted”, she mumbled.
“Sorry!”, Coldpaw emerged from the bushes with a thorn on her cheek. “Ugh, it was JUST some mouse tails away…Anyway, thank StarClan you’ve got it!”
~Wiltingpaw~
“Here, hold still.”
They padded forward to Coldpaw, carefully taking the end of the thorn and slowly pulled it out.
~Willowstrike~
“It’s quite alright, do you smell anything?”
(Hey, are both of them in Hollyclan?)
(yes)
“Squirrel.” Mintpaw answered.
“Thanks”, Coldpaw said.
(okay!)
~Wiltingpaw~
“Are you alright? Should I lick it so it doesn’t get infected?”
~Willowstrike~
“Good job, is it close?”
“I’m okay”, Coldpaw answered. She licked her paws twice and then got up. “We better come back to camp with more than just a mouse!”
“Yes”, Mintpaw crouched.
~Wiltingpaw~
“Well come on!”
They quickly buried the mouse, flicking their tail and leading Coldpaw to another area.
~Willowstrike~
He fell quiet, watching the ‘paws form, taking a step back to let her catch it.
Mintpaw looked around for grass spots or twigs. The squirrel would leap to the tree as soon as he heard her; she’d fool it, then. She looked around until she spotted a stone from which she could leap to the tree. According to the squirrel’s position, it’s only option would be to leap on a slightly moving twig. It might fall. In that case, Mintpaw would jump after it with claws unseathed and grab it or injure it. Satisfied, she purposely stepped on a twig when she was close enough to the stone. The squirrel, scared, leaped desperately to the tree. Mintpaw had kept one paw on the stone, and she pulled her body towards it and jumped high to the branch. The squirrel stared at her in panic before she slashed it on the muzzle. Then, the twig swung and the squirrel fell. Mintpaw unseathed her claws and carefully leaped after it, scratching it before it hit the ground. Then, she ended with a killing bite. She looked at Willowstrike. “Well enough?”
Coldpaw nodded and followed Witlingpaw.
~Wiltingpaw~
They paid no mind, instead they slipped into a bush, a shrew sliding into view. The bush they had slipped into was silent, but as the shrew got closer the bush ruffled, and then it fell still. After a moment, they lunged out, pinning the shrew down with a paw and delivering a swift bite to the neck of the shrew.
“Yeah, that was good”
~Willowstrike~
“No, No. Go back. Go ahead and catch it.”
“I did catch it…?”, Mintpaw stared at him confusingly as she showed him the squirrel on her jaws.
oh my gosh i misread)
~Willowstrike~
He shook his head, using his tail to pat her head.
“Yes, apologises my head isn’t right.. Wonderful job, bury it and lets continue.”
(that’s fine :D)
“Thanks”, Mintpaw purred proudly.
~Willowstrike~
He patted her head once again, letting out a purr himself, before turning hi head towards a ruffle.
Mintpaw looked at him. “What’s happening?”
~Willowstrike~
“I’m unsure, get behind me and into that bush”
He lowered his voice so whoever was on the otherside couldn’t hear him.
Mintpaw nodded, and hid quickly behind the bush. She was smart enough – or afraid enough – not to peek.
Coldpaw peeked throught the woods. There was someone there!
Cinderflower rested in the nursery calmly.
~Willowstrike~
“..Blankkit?”
The tom stared down at the kit that had stumbled out of the bush
“What are you doing out here! You should be in the nursery!”
~Wiltingpaw~
“..I have a bad feeling, we need to return.”
~Featherfall~
The medicine cat padded into the nursery.
“Cinderflower, how are you? Do you feel well?”
“Yes!”, Cinderflower purred happily.
“Ok”, Coldpaw answered uneasily.
Mintpaw stared at Blankkit in surprise. “What are you doing here?”
(Does Willowstrike have a mate? If not, can he be Cinderflower’s?)
~Blankkit~
“I was following Wilts!”
~Willowstrike~
“Blankkit your sibling is an apprentice, you aren’t! You can’t leave camp to follow them!”
~Featherfall~
“Thats good! No aches?”
(He does have a mate, but Blackstorm, my other character, is free, or if you’d prefer a female mate for her you can have Redfern)
(I’ll take Blacstorm, thanks ^w^)
“Nope”, Cinderflower purred lightly.
Flowerkit and Starlingkit stalked around each other, purring as the other would pounce on them.
Sagepaw and Silkpaw sat in the camp clearing, chattering happily while eating a mouse
WELCOME BACK FLOWIE!!)
~Onyxkit~
“Flowerkit!!”
The tom stumbled and ran over to the two, tilting his head.
“Hi!! Who are you? What’s your name?”
“Hii!” Flowerkit squealed.
“I’m Starlingkit,” he mewed, the tip of his tail swishing happily. “Who are you?”
(THANKS!!!)
~Onykit~
“I’m Onyxkit! Flowerkit’s brother!!”
His eyes trained on the other kits tail, launching himself at it.
Starlingkit squealed happily as Flowerkit leaped for Onyxkit’s tail.
~Willowstrike~
“Coldpaw, bury any prey you didn’t get to bury and follow, we’re taking Blankkit back to camp.”
~FeatherfalL~
“Oh! That reminds me, have you seen Blackstorm?:
Cinderflower smiled. “Not in a while. I hope he likes his kits!”
“Okay”, Mintpaw (Coldpaw is with Wilteringpaw) answered, burying her squirrel, a vole, and a small mouse. She smiled at the thought of ‘small mouse’. That sounded cute. Put ‘tiny’ on it to make it even cuter. ‘Tinymouse’. ‘Awwwwwn that is such a CUTE warrior name!’ But she was getting off track. ‘Squirrel sounds cute too…Squirrelheart is a very cute name! And vole…Nope. Maybe Voledusk? But…Nah…’, she sighed. ‘Stop daydreaming! Get Blankkit back to camp!’
speedy moddo again! Yay! ^w^
🙂
AAAAAAAAA sorry!)
~Featherfall~
“I’m sure he will! Would you like me to go find him?”
~Willowstrike~
“Come on, Mintpaw”
(that’s okay ^w^)
“Sure…”, Cinderflower nodded hopefully.
Mintpaw followed him, trying to ignore the feeling of danger that tightened her belly.
~Featherfall~He slipped off, and moments later he emerged with the dark-furred tom
~Blackstorm~
“How are you dear..?”
~Willowstrike~
He held Blankkit in his jaws, pausing once and awhile, wrapping his tail around Mintpaw
Cinderflower smiled. “I’m okay, Blackstorm.” Then she signaled with her tail to Starlingkit and Dawnkit. “At last you came! Those are your kits. The tom is Starlingkit, and the she-kit is Dawnkit.” She purred.
~Blackstorm~
He lowered himself down, staring at the kits with the love of Starclan, he licked the two kits.
“I’m sorry I was late.. Redfern needed me..”
(Redfern is his sister by the way!)
“Mintpaw!” Morningbreeze said, “We’re going hunting, Sagepaw and Silkpaw are coming.”
Sagepaw and Silkpaw followed behind her.
‘Not Tigerpaw…?’, Mintpaw eyed Silkpaw and Sagepaw suspiciously, but they seemed rather casual. “Sure”, she answered brightly, happy to hunt with her littermates. She glanced quickly at Seapaw before turning away. (Hey, you said he was looking for a good friend!)
(she*)
“Silkpaw and Sagepaw are waiting for mentors,” Morningbreeze explained, “Tigerpaw has a mentor.”
Seapaw saw her glance at her, What does she want?
(seapaw is a great cat but suspicious of other cats until she warms up to them)
hey if anyone has a mothclan oc, could they go interact with Vulturethorn, mothclans other med cat??)
(I don’t have one, but Coldpaw loves MothClan and is conspiring with them)
Mintpaw shrugged and walked forward with her littermates.
could coldpaw go interact with Vulturethorn?)
~Willowstrike~
The tom padded into the nursery, dropping Blankkit.
“Cinderflower, do you mind keeping an eye on this one? Xyr managed to escape.”
Wavepool looked at the kits playing.
“Cinderflower, Starlingkit may be a little young to be playing with my older kits,” she laughed. “Have you seen Lilackit?”
Silkpaw’s nose twitched, smelling a mouse. She dropped into a crouch.
(sure, ill find someone! maybe pebblestone, the other med?)
Lilackit, the just-born she-kit, rested hidden on her mother’s nest.
Cinderflower spotted her with a purr. “On your nest”, she told Wavepool. Then she turned to Willowstrike. “Don’t worry”, she answered. “I’ll make sure voi is well cared.”
Mintpaw turned to her sister, relief flooding her as she realized someone else was going to hunt. For a moment her muscles untensed and she wobbled on her paws, almost slipping. She sighed as the breeze of late evening invaded her throat. Her serenity seemed to last forever.
As Silkpaw crept forward, as Sagepaw whispered to Mintpaw, “You okay?”
“Oh!” Wavepool purred, “I didn’t notice you there.”
She gently cleaned her youngest kit.
~Willowstrike~
He placed the kit down and left the nursery
~Blankkit~
Once Willowstrike left, xyr got on vois paws and started to bounce towards the entrance
okay!!)
Seapaw sat to the side, missing Marshpaw. She curled her tail under her paws.
Blackpaw ran up to his mentor (who is it, Willowstrike? Blackstorm? idk) knowing his final assessment was coming soon.
“Sure!”, Mintpaw smiled. “I guess I just haven’t taken a lot of time to sleep lately”. Then she bounced to her paws.
Lilackit purred sleepily.
“Blankkit”, called Cinderflower. “Don’t even try.” She purred at the kit and pulled voi back.
~Blankkit~
The kit struggled in her grasp “But I want to see Wilts! I want to follow them!!”
pretty sure willowstrike!)
~Willowstrike~
“Hello, Blackpaw. Its good to see you out and running”
Cinderflower licked his head. “Not right now”, she told him gently.
Mintpaw glanced at Blackpaw. Willowstrike was right – he seemed much better.
~Blankkit~
“Please, Please, Please, Pleaseee!! I want my sibling!! WIlts is so cool!!
“The kits are cool, too”, Cinderflower let out a mrrrow of amusement. “I got VERY CLEAR orders from the d-e-p-u-t-y that I should keep you on the nursery. Sorry, Blankkit.”
~Blankkit~
“No fair!! Wilts is better! They can hunt!”
“You’ll be able to hunt too, soon.” She answered with a sigh. Sleep seemed to be stalking her every movement, ready to strike. She pulled Blankkit from the entrance once again, and then turned to Blackstorm (just realized everyone kinda forgot he was there xD). “Well, I’m really tired, so I’m going to sleep now. Thank you for coming, it means so much.”, She touched her muzzle to his. “Good night.” Cinderflower slept the moment she closed her eyes.
Mintpaw gasped down a squirrel quickly as the night was starting to darken. She padded oevr to the apprentices den, ready to sleep. “Hi”, she told the other apprentices. “How were you today, Seapaw? Blackpaw? Did you have battle or hunting training?”
‘When will she stop chattering like an annoying starling so that I can leave?!’, Coldpaw thought with annoyance.
Lilackit placed herself on her mother’s nest, eyes closed but not asleep.
Starlingkit yawned, sleepily padding up to his mother.
He flopped on her, falling asleep in an instant.
Seapaw said, “Neither. I didn’t go out today.”
Blackpaw said, “I went hunting, and I caught the fattest mouse ever!”
Wavepool smiled down at her kit before yelling, “Flowerkit! Onyxkit! Time for bed!”
She curled around Licackit to keep her warm.
(ignore the other comment)
Starlingkit came running into the nursery, accidentally bumping into his mother.
“Oops…” he muttered. “Can Blankkit come play with us pleaseeeeee.”
“Can we go practice for my assesment?” Blackpaw asked eagerly.
Seapaw sighed, getting up padding over to Lostshadow.
~Willowstrike~
“Hm…” He looked down at Blackpaw before letting our a small purr. “Come on then”
~Lostshadow~
The tom sat near the entrance of the camp.
~Blackstorm~
“Quiet down little one..”
He licked the top of Cinderflowers head before removing Blankkit from her nest.
“Go ahead and play..”
“It’s in the middle of the night!”, Mintpaw exclaimed. “You’ll be too tired!” ‘And I like your company’, a part of her thought. She shut it down, because what she had said was true. It had been a tiring day, and a million StarClan cats were now visible in the sky. “Sleep, and tomorrow you’ll be able to do much better.”
Cinderflower purred sleepily and pulled Starlingkit to the nest along with Dawnkit. Now, she slept. “Sure…”, she mumbled at last, without actually thinking better of it. She was already sleeping.
“I guess thats true..!” Blackpaw said.
~Willowstrike~
“I hadn’t even.. Go and sleep, Blackpaw.”
Mintpaw smiled and lay down. She closed her eyes.
Coldpaw still waited until everyone was asleep.
“Let’s go play!”, Lilackit whispered to Starlingkit and the other kits.
~Blankkit~
“Okay!!”
~Onyxkit~
“Where will we play?”
Lilackit giggled. “Somewhere…Else”, she said mysteriously.
~Blankkit~
Voi wiggled from ves nest, following Lilackit
~Onyxkit~
He followed behind quickly, purring slightly.
Starlingkit jumped up quietly, his eyes sparkleing
Flowerkit followed her brother.
Lilackit led the kits to a hidden spot on the nursery. “We can play here!”, she said excitedly.
~Onyxkit~
“I say we play tag!”
~Blankkit~
“Hide and seek is more fun!”
“I say we mix both!”, Lilackit declared with a bounce. (Oh gosh I love role-playing as a kit). “We have a hide and seek, but once we are found, the person has to run away from the tagger! That way we mix both. Much more fun!” She leaped to her paws. “C’mon! I’m the tagger!”
Coldpaw trepasses to MothClan territory.
~Onyxkit~
“I am too!!!”
~Blankkit~
Voi quickly bounced away
~Silentpaw~
The they-cat stood to the side, their ears pricking at the sound of pawsteps.
Lilackit rushed happily after him, with a joyful gleam in her blue eyes. She jumped into stalking Blankkit, quite noisily but still. “You go catch Flowerkit!”, she shouted to Onyxkit.
Flowerkit sqeualed, running away and hiding in the brush of the den
Starlingkit ran after Flowerkit, hiding besides her.
~Blankkit~
The kit scrambled under something, thinking it was a huge leaf.
~Onyxkit~
He bounced off, trying to see if he could sniff out his sister
Lilackit pounced at Blankkit excitedly. “Found ya!”, she said, tagging the little kit. Then she turned and rushed to Starlingkit.
~Blankkit~
“Hey!! Noooo!”
~Onyxkit~
He jumped onto Flowerkit
“GOTCHA!”
{Dapplepelt}
“Wow! You’re growing so old already! She was tempted to lick one of the kits, but didn’t since she didn’t want to ruin their game.
Lilackit didn’t stop the game when she realized the adult didn’t…Uh, the game at late night that no queen knew about (supposedly).
Flowerkit squealed.
“ACK!”
Starlingkit crept up behind Onyxkit.
“Now I got YOU!” he squeaked
Lilackit purred and pounced on Starlingkit. “You’re sure of that? Tagged!”
~Onyxkit~
He jumped up and tried to spin around, tripping on his tail and faceplanting
Flowerkit yawned, dismissing herself to sleep
Starlingkit followed her quietly before going to his nest with his mother
Before she knew it, Lilackit was sleeping on Wavepool’s nest.
Cinderflower was in no hurry to wake up. She knew her kits were still asleep and she was not a warrior, so what was the point?
Mintpaw woke up at dawn. Her pelt was up too, with excitment. “Blackpaw!” She nudged him. “Didn’t you want to practice your assessment?”
Flowerkit curled in beside Lilackit with her mother, leaving room for her other littermate, Onyxkit.
Starlingkit gently plopped on his mother’s falling asleep.
Blackpaw’s eyes lit up.
“Let’s do it!!” He exclaimed.
“Can I come?” Seapaw asked,
“Of course!” Mintpaw purred. “Let’s go!”
Seapaw followed Mintpaw and Blackpaw out of camp
“Okay”, Mintpaw said when they’d reached the training hollow. “So, do you want to start with hunting or fighting?”
“Let’s practice fighting,” Blackpaw said, “I’m better at hunting.
Seapaw shrugged in a way of saying yes. She was an amazing fighter, good hunter, she didn’t really mind what they did.
“How about Blackpaw and Mintpaw go first?” She said
“Sure!” Mintpaw purred. “Okay, let’s try this. Let’s say Willowstrike wants you to ambush you – the mentors love doing that, you know”, she added more playfully. “Try looking at the way before going and calculating your pawsteps. As in, ‘hey there’s that twig I need to avoid it’ and ‘a shaded flat stone? Perfect’.” She finished talking. “How about we just practice? I’ll fight you and we keep practice until you get it.” That wasn’t really her technique. But it might work.
“Sure!”
(You start the fight I’m a bit confused)
Seapaw groomed her paws.
Mintpaw shrugged, feeling like there where twigs on her fur…Anyway. She jumped at Blackpaw, waiting for him to dodge the attack.
He dodged the attack, a little slow but it worked, and then reared up on Mintpaw
~Willowstrike~
The tom sat near the camp entrance, a gut feeling striking him. He should find his apprentice.
With that, he got up and started to pad towards training hollow, perhaps they’d be there.
