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.
She dipped her head, ” Very well then,”
Foxflame padded out of Hollystars den then looked at Lightningstrike, “I best get started hunting then,” she mewed, ” I’ll see you later,”
¨Dawnpaw, were going hunting!¨
Ivyrose called, his eyes darting around the clearing for the golden she-cat.
+moon+
Moon looked at the fresh-kill pile. “Maybe one mouse won’t hurt…” she whispers. She walked over to the pile and picked up the mouse. And walked back to the den and ate it.
~Onyxkit~
The small kit rn into the den, and straight into Moon. They plopped onto the ground with a dazed look before smiling. “I’m sorry! I didn’t see you! I was going fast fast fast!”
Foxflame padded out of HollyClan camp, she looked over at Onyxkit, and smirked. She kept walking, nit looking at anycat. And she finally made it into the forest.
+Moon+
“It’s ok kit.” She smiled. The. She got close to the kit and whispers. “I used to do that a lot to. And I still do.” She purred. “And your very fast! All I saw was a flash!” She praised the kit.
~Onyxkit~
“Really? Yes! I’m going to be the fastest warrior in Hollyclan!”
He ran around her, stumbling and falling face first
(OMG I’M SO FREAKING SORRY FOR GOING INACTIVE THIS LONG. Life’s been rough)
Hazelpaw sat in the shadows of the camp clearing, his tail twitching nervously as he looked for Leafpaw.
Leafpaw sat up in his nest, grooming his fur carefully as he reflected on his interaction with Hazelpaw.
Marshpaw trotted into camp, trying not to flinch, as a gleam of light his her eyes.
Emberstream stared at Tigerpaw, trying to figure out how to get through to her stubborn apprentice, and narrowed her eyes in confusion.
Dawnpaw hesitantly slunk out of the apprentice den, sticking to the shadows, and glanced around for something to do.
(Again, I’m so sorry for not commenting before now)
Foxflame padded in the forest, she searched the brush. Mouse! she leaped catching her prey.
….One hour later…..
She had caught alot of prey, 2 mice, 1 blackbird, a couple of Squirrels and a rabbit. She quietly slipped into HollyClan camp, trying not to draw to much attention to herself. Not paying attention she ran into (insert name here), “S-sorry” she mewed
Marshpaw smiled at Foxflame, “It’s ok,” she meowed kindly. “It happens all the time.”
“Thanks,” she mewed, ” would u like a mouse…?”
Marshpaw smiled, but shook her head. “Featherfall probably wants to check me over one more time,” she meowed apologetically.
Silentkit stood in front of Dawnpaw. “Hello,” he mewed.
(don´t worry about it, I understand)
Noticing Dawnpaw slunk out of the den, Ivyrose padded over to the apprentice, irritated,¨Wanted to spend all day sleeping did you?¨ the tom said, glaring coldly at the she-cat.
Dawnpaw had opened her mouth to greet Silentkit, but froze when she saw Ivyrose. She ducked her head and stared her her paws, not saying anything and not looking at Ivyrose.
¨Come on, we´re going hunting.¨ Ivyrose growled,¨and because you are most likely drowsy from all that sleep, after we eat we will battle-train to get that energy back into you until whenever I please.¨
Dawnpaw nodded submissively, keeping her gaze glued to the ground as she waited for Ivyrose to take the lead.
Ivyrose led Dawnpaw out of camp into the forest, scenting for any prey.
Dawnpaw froze and opened her mouth slightly, a faint scent of mouse filling her senses. Without saying a word, she creeped over to a tree and waited. After a few moments, she returned to Ivyrose with a small mouse in her jaws.
(its okay!!)
Tigerpaw bared her teeth at her mentor.
Emberstream flicked her tail and stood, eyes hard with annoyance. She walked over to Tigerpaw. “Go clean out the elders den,” she ordered sternly, not giving Tigerpaw a chance to argue before walking over to [insert name here].
Tigerpaw’s mouth opened in protest but Emberstream left before she could say anything.
She then headed to the nursery to clean it out.
Wavepool laughed as Emberstream padded to her.
“how’s it going?”
(we don;t have any elders so its gonna be the nursery)
Emberstream tried to smile, but thoughts about Tigerpaw nagged at her and her face dropped. “Fine, I guess,” she meowed, sitting next to Wavepool. “How about you?”
(Oh, ok!)
“I’m good!” she purred, “Taking care of Onyxkit is difficult though..” she laughed, “At least my kit, Flowerkit is similar age as him.”
Emberstream nodded, thinking of when Leafpaw, Marshpaw, and Hazelpaw were kits. “They can be a handful, but you gotta love ’em for it.” She meowed with a small chuckle. “How old are the kits?” She asked curiously.
“A few moons,” she said. “You planning on having kits again?”
Emberstream shrugged, “Maybe,” she meowed quietly. “It all depends on if I meet the right cat.” She glanced at Hazelpaw. “I’d say I’m happy for right now.” She half smiled before turning to Wavepool. “What about you?” She asked. “Do you think you’ll have kits again?”
“Probably,” she purred, “But for now I’m fine with just Flowerkit and Onyxkit.”
~Onyxkit~
The kit was running all around in the center of camp, tackling random moss balls and rolling around, he was having a grand time when they bumped into..
+moon+
She watched the kit. She felt like she was now apart of something important.
~Onyxkit~
“Hi again~ Sorry, again! I didn’t see you!”
He bounced around her paws happily, looking up at her with awe.
“You look like a warrior! Are you? Are you?”
+moon+
“I’m… I guess.” She mumbled. She didn’t understand what a warrior was. She thought it meant a brave cat.
~Onyxkit~
“That means you’ll protect me from Mothclan right? If they try to attack?”
He sat by her paws, looking up at her in admiration.
“And me!” Flowerkit squealed, running up to them. SHe was Wavepool’s very energetic kit.
~Onykit~
His eyes lit up when they saw her. Stumbling up to his paws and tackling her.
“GOTCHA!”
Flowerkit squealed in delight.
She rolled away only to pounce back on him, squeaking.
~Onyxkit~
He used his back paws to push her off, getting up and shaking their fur. He ran to her left side, then her right. Trying to confuse her.
+Moon+
“Of course I’ll protect you!” She started to paw flowerkit. “I’ll help you attack this mothclan warrior!” She giggles.
Silentkit watched from the side.
Leafpaw slipped out of the den, accidentally stumbling over Silentkit. “Oh, sorry,” he muttered distractedly, glancing around before walking toward the camp entrance, keeping close in the shadows.
Flowerkit squealed at Moon.
She pounced on Onyxkit squeaking in delight. She kicked her back paws playfully.
~Onyxkit~
He tumbled around with her, falling on their back, trying to catch his breath.
Flowerkit burst out laughing.
She was now on her back, laying and catching her breath.
“You’re fun, Onyxkit,” she squeaked.
~Onyxkit~
“You’re.. fun-er!”
He giggled and laid down beside her, once she had caught her breath they stood up and flicked his tail on her nose
Flowerkit squealed, “Hey!”
She wriggled up to her paws and wrestled him to the ground.
~Onyxkit~
He let out loud laughter, trying to struggle against her. Finally, he stopped struggling.
“I give I give!”
Flowerkit laughed and got off of him.
~Onyxkit~
“Race you to the nursery!”
He stumbled up and took off to the nursery, perhaps they’d find Emberstream in there too!
Flowerkit dashed after him, squealing in delight.
Gentlesea was sorting herbs in the medicine cats den. “We’re almost out of watermint…. ” She muttered to herself
Hazelpaw hesitantly approached Gentlesea. “Have you seen Featherfall?” He asked nervously.
Marshpaw searched around camp for one cat in particular. “Blackpaw?” She called softly, trying to spot him.
Blackpaw’s ears twicthed and he padded to Marshpaw.
“Yes?” he asked sweetly.
Marshpaw grinned when she saw him. “Do you want to go hunting together?” She asked, excited to get out of camp.
“Sure!” He purred with a big smile.
Marshpaw couldn’t hide her excitement as she bounded out of the clearing with him. She quickly clambered up a tree, gripping the bark strongly. Once she reached a steady branch, she looked down at Blackpaw. “Come on up!” She called. “It’s beautiful!”
Blackpaw dashed up the tree after her.
“It’s the prettiest view I’ve ever seen!” he said in awe, “And I get to share this moment with the prettiest cat!”
Marshpaw purred and she gave his ear a quick lick before glancing at the camp below. “Look, there’s Lostshadow and Willowstrike!” She flicked her tail toward the two cats. Something caught her eye and she shifted. Leafpaw slipping out of camp, obviously trying not to be spotted. “What’s he doing?” She wondered aloud, staring at him in confusion.
“I’m not sure,” Blackpaw admitted.
He licked his paws in embarrasment
Marshpaw tried to ignore it, but she couldn’t shake the feeling of dread. “Do you think we should follow him?” She asked quietly, not sure what to do.
“Sure,” Blackpaw said.
Foxflame sat in the corner away from every cat she hadn’t seen Lightningstrike. She jumped when *insert name here* said something to her, “W-what did you say?” She asked trying not to be rude, she honestly hadn’t heard them.
~Willowstrike~
The tom sighed, shaking his head.
“I said Foxflame, would you like to join a hunting patrol? It’ll contain Me, Blackstorm, Redfern, and Leafpaw.”
“What about Blackpaw?” Seapaw smirked to WIllowstrike, “Aren’t you his mentor? To bad he went hunting with Marshpaw.”
~Willowstrike~
He sighed and turned to Seapaw.
“Correct. He is. Which I’m fine with. Besides, didn’t Lostshadow assign you to clean out the nursery? If not, then I’ll gladly ask him too. With that mouth of yours, you’ll practically be a kit!”
“He didn’t! And you can’t make me! I’m not your apprentice!” she dashed off before he could tell her otherwise.
~Lostshadow~
He padded up to Willowstrike, giving him a lick on the cheek.
“Was that Seapaw?”
~Willowstrike~
“Yes, you need to teach that one some manners.. or have her sent back to the nursery! Doesn’t know when to keep her mouth shut..”
~Lostshadow~
“I’ll tend to it. Now, there’s a story-” The two toms padded away to the fresh-kill pile.
~Wiltingpaw~
The tom headed into the medicine den, looking for Hazelpaw.
“Hazelpaw, you in here?”
Hazelpaw turned and sighed when he saw Wiltingpaw. “Oh, hey,” he slightly smiled before walking over. “What do you need?”
~Wiltingpaw~
“Featherfall told me to come andget you, You’re going we me and Blackstorm for some hunting. He says he wants to make sure you don’t feel like you can’t hunt.”
He started to pad out, motioning with his tail for him to follow.
Hazelpaw followed after a moments hesitation and glanced around nervously. “Is Leafpaw coming?” He asked anxiously.
~Wiltingpaw~
“Don’t think so. Haven’t seen him since he left camp.”
(Ooh I had an idea-)
Hazelpaw quietly sighed in relief. He’d rather avoid his brother, and conflict, than cause problems.
~Wiltingpaw~
“Blackstorms waiting for us by the camp entrance, race ya?”
Hazelpaw nodded, “You’re on!” He exclaimed, tail twitching excitedly.
(What was your idea? Also, sorry about not asking before, my mom almost caught me on and I had to hurry up and submit the comment 🙂)
~Wiltingpaw~
He took off running towards the entrance, a small grin on his face.
(I forgot- Dang you ADHD! When I remember I’ll tell you!)
Hazelpaw darted after him, nearly matching him stride for stride.
(You’re all good 😊)
~Onyxkit~
The kit tumbled into the nursery with his sister on his heels, looking for his mother.
Flowerkit tumbled after him and Wavepool laughed.
“Whatcha doing?” Wavepool asked the kits.
Emberstream smiled at the two kits, her worry fading as she watched them. “Hello, Oynxkit,” she meowed softly.
+Moon+ (sorry I haven’t been active, I’ve been busy)(just pretend I’ve been laying watching the kits)
Moon looked up just realizing that Emberstream was sitting there. ‘Who is this? Did I do something wrong!?’ She thought in her head.
Emberstream smiled warmly at Moon before seeing Hazelpaw out of the den. “I’ll talk with you later,” she meowed to Wavepool before padding over to Hazelpaw.
+moon+
her fur laid down. she let out a sigh of relief. ‘i wonder if i can help someone out of here.’ she thought. she got up and walked out the den. “this place is beautiful.” she whispers. looking around she found the fresh-kill pile. “this is a bit empty….maybe i should help fill it!” she trotted to the exit.
~Oynxkit~
“Hi!! Guess what guess what!!”
He bounced around his mother’s paws, looking up at her with excited eyes.
“What?” she purred.
~Oynxkit~
“I met this really pretty warror whos gonna protect me and Flowerkit!! And I’m the fastest kit in the clan!!”
“No you’re not!” Flowerkit squealed and pounced on Onyxkit, “I’m fastest-er!”
Wavepool chuckled
~Onyxkit~
He rolled from underneath her and ran off.
“CATCH ME THEN!”
“No fair!” Flowerkit exclaimed and bounced after him.
~Onyxkit~
He ran all around and finally tackled her from behind
Flowerkit squealed and put her paws up.
“I give up!”
Marshpaw carefully slipped down the tree, landing lightly on her paws. “You good?” She quietly called up to Blackpaw, making sure he wasn’t hurt.
“I’m good,” he said, looking over to her and smiling.
Marshpaw smiled back and flicked her tail. “Are you sure we should follow Leafpaw?” She asked nervously, glancing at where he disappeared. “What if he gets mad again? Or he’s doing something wrong? What if he hates me and…” She stopped, realizing how petty she sounded, and hung her head. “Sorry,” she mumbled, “I’m just worried he won’t want to be close anymore, you know?”
“I don’t know,” he admitted, “But it sounds fun!”
Marshpaw flicked her ear and her eyes were full of indecision. We can’t let Leafpaw just leave without knowing where he’s going, she thought to herself, but is Blackpaw gets hurt because of me… Fear clouded her gaze and she shook her head. “Why don’t we head back to camp?” She suggested softly, not meeting Blackpaw’s eyes.
Blackpaw looked at her with hurt eyes.
“Do you not want to do this with me?” he asked softly, “You don’t have to protect me, you know. And if Leafpaw lashes out I can help you.”
Marshpaw winced at his hurt tone and gently touched him with her tail. “Blackpaw, it’s nothing to do with you, I promise. It’s just…” She struggled to find the right words and sighed. “He’s my brother. He can’t hurt me more than he already has, but… I can’t have him hurting you.” Her pleading green eyes boring into his
“I’ll be fine,” Blackpaw reassured.
~Marshpaw~
“Just go back to camp, Blackpaw!” She yelled angerly, her gaze suddenly hard. She stared at him, half shocked at her own tone, half praying he would listen. She looked away, breathing heavily, and backed up a step.
~Leafpaw~
He heard Marshpaw yell and glanced behind him. No use trying to sneak out now, he thought before stalking toward the tree Marshpaw and Blackpaw were standing by. Creeping up in the bushes, he watched them from the shadows.
~Marshpaw~
She took a deep breath and hesitantly stepped closer to Blackpaw. “I’m sorry,” she whispered. “But you have to get to camp.” She quickly spun and started to run, not stopping for anything.
~Leafpaw~
He smirked when Marshpaw ran right past him and slipped out into the open. “She really can be annoying, huh?” He asked Blackpaw slyly, eyes narrowed.
Blackpaw curled his lip up in a snarl.
“Leave her alone, fox-heart!” he yowled.
He ran back to camp.
~Tigerpaw~
“Good job,” she spat witha smile.
~Wiltingpaw~
He slid to a stop in frontof Blackstorm, nearly have hitting him.
~Blackstorm~
He chuckled at the two racing.
Hazelpaw tried to stop, but ended up running into Wiltingpaw and accidentally pinning him onto the ground. “O-oh, s-sorry!” He managed to stutter, carefully getting off of Wiltingpaw.
+Moon+
Wondering around the hollyclan territory she looked for prey to fill the pile up. It was her mission. Her ears picked up a sound of little feet in the bush close to her. She got in a hunting position and stalked up to it….. she pounced on the small creature. And killed it with a death bite. “Oh this squirrel will do great for the pile!” She exclaimed.
(Later.)
She had a mouth full of prey in her jaws. She catch a: bird, squirrel, and fat mouse. She trotted into hollyclan camp and set her catch in the pile.
~Wiltingpaw~
“Didn’t know you’d be so strong!”
~Blackstorm~
“Alright you two, let’s head out now.”
He added out of the camp with the other two following.
Hazelpaw sheepishly looked away from Wiltingpaw, trying to hide his excitement at the praise. He nodded at Blackstorm before following, keeping pace with Wiltingpaw.
~Wiltingpaw~
The two were brought out somewhat into the deep woods, Blackstorm flicked his tail to tell them to be quiet as a mouse scurried along. Wiltingpaw looked at Hazelpaw, seeing if he wanted to get the mouse first.
Hazelpaw flicked his tail, signaling that Wiltingpaw could catch it, and gave him an encouraging smile.
Hazelpaw flicked his tail, signaling to Wiltingpaw that he could go ahead and catch the mouse, and smiled encouragingly.
~Wiltingpaw~
He crouched down, raising their tail just a bit and pounced on the mouse. Giving it swift bite to the neck and killing it.”
~Blackstorm~
“Well done Wiltingpaw!”
Hazelpaw walked over and grinned. “That was a great catch!” He praised, smiling brightly.
+moon+
she looked around, her eye caught a old cats in a den. “maybe there hungry.” she wondered. she picked up a rabbit and took it to the elders den. “hi, I thought y’all might be hungry.” she smiled through the rabbit in her jaws. she set it down in front of a elder.
“Moon?” Hollystar said, “I heard you wanted to join the clan. Can you come to my den?”
Hollystar clicked her tail and headed to her den.
