MOON 14
...
...
Buzzardfur's kits would receive their warrior names next moon.
Honeyneedle, Nectarfrost, and Ferretpelt...
...
Palepaw, feeling a bit uncertain about being a warrior snuck out by himself. He'd run into a loner, fortunately friendly compared to his last encounter, but ultimately they were just passing by.
...
Silver would go on patrol with Frostmist and Badgersky, who offered to come along and help with the apprentices now that Nectarfrost had graduated. They don't find anything useful but have a fun time.
...
Nectarfrost meanwhile would join with Lightning and Loudpatch. He felt a little nervous being out with his brothers mentor and a cat he barely knew but they were surprisingly nice and would admire new spring flowers together. "Huh, never really noticed this stuff before." Lightning says.
...
Ferretpelt wasn't used to breaking old habits just yet and went on patrol with her old mentor, Fernstar. Tornpaw tagged along too.
At advice from Silver, Fernstar took a deep breath and tried to test something... "Let's hunt by the Thunderpath." He mews.
"Okay." Ferretpelt shrugs. He couldn't quite place the distant look she'd had since her fight with Lostpaw.
Ultimately nothing eventful happens.
He felt nervous when she suggested crossing the Thunderpath, but there had been more prey on the other side after all.
...
...
Bloomheart and Honeyneedle would go out together and run into the fox again, driving it out without issue.
"Wow! So you're kinda a good fighter too!" Bloomheart chuckles.
"Mm. Yeah, you could say that." Honeyneedle flashes a relaxed smile.
It reminded her a bit of Silver.
He must have learned a lot from his mentor and his mentor's mate. Bloomheart thinks.
...
((Shorter this time bc nothing super major happened))
..
MOON 15
...
...
Or so they had thought the fox was gone.
"Aldershine!" Bloomheart gasped.
"Its alright, I'm fine." She assures her. There were herbs plastered over the clawmarks across her chest.
"Fine looking," Bloomheart coughs and laughs awkwardly, "But what about fine feeling?"
Aldershine snorts, shaking her head. "You're so corny." The calico mews and nuzzles her friend. Well... They were past friends now, weren't they?
Bloomheart blinks, nuzzling back shyly. "I..I was really worried when I heard the news, okay?"
"I know." Aldershine murmured into her ear before pulling back, "It'll probably leave a scar, but it's not infected or anything."
Bloomheart shuffles her paws. "Well, good thing I brought so many herbs to help!"
Aldershine raises a brow at that. It was true Bloomheart was helping her with herbs all the time. The medicine cat turns away.
"Do you still feel like you have to pay me back from when we were apprentices..?" The calico asks.
Bloomheart blinks, "Oh yeah, absolutely. Too bad you didn't die, or I would have taken your place." The warrior laughs awkwardly and shuffles her paws, "No, kidding. I just w..want uhm..."
Aldershine puts her paw on hers.
"I know. If it's what I want too."
Bloomheart purrs and curls her tail with nervous excitement. She leans in to touch muzzles with her, but the medicine cat leans away again.
"..But if this is going to work out, you can't be so worried about me all the time." Aldershine mews seriously.
"Uh, Aldershine, you were attacked by a *fox*."
"I know, I don't fault you for that... But where's Palepaw?"
Bloomheart flattens her ears sheepishly. "I may have uhm... Left him with another patrol."
Aldershine shakes her head. "Don't make me your excuse for not doing your duties."
Bloomheart ducks a bit, feeling scolded. Aldershine cracks a half smile at her.
"Fernstar's told me there's been lots of kittypet scents in the area lately. You should be able to catch up with Honeyneedle's patrol and maybe find him alone the way."
"Are you sure you weren't supposed to be the warrior?" Bloomheart chuckles.
Aldershine blinks slowly and nods. "Yes, I'm sure," She sticks out her tongue, "Get out of here already, I need space to dry some herbs."
"Alright alright, I'm going," Bloomheart giggles and purrs, starting to speed off. She spins around at the entrance. "Ah- are you sure there isn't anything else you need?"
Aldershine huffs and puts her forehead against hers. "Yes," She purrs lowly, "But we'll make plenty of time for that."
Bloomheart squeaks, flustered. "Oh- o..okay, love you, bye!"
This moon would bring with it two new warriors and as well as an apprentice. Cloverface, Tornleg, and the second Palepaw.
Frostmist felt a good fit to try taking on her own apprentice, she was popular with the younger cats.
Meanwhile Tornleg and Nectarfrost were already headed out in the territory. Ferretpelt unusually full of nervous energy, decided to follow them.
"So guys, uh, where's this patrol going?" She asks, more directed at her brother than Tornleg.
Nectarfrost jumps a bit and laughs, seeming nervous himself. "O..oh, hey, Ferretpelt! Yeah uhm.. I dunno! Didn't have anywhere in mind just yet. I thought it'd be just me and Tornleg... I guess you could come with us."
Ferretpelt narrows her eyes and Tornleg smiles at her shyly.
"Oh." Ferretpelt halts for a moment before shrugging and walking past them quickly. "I'll look ahead then."
"T..thanks!" Nectarfrost calls after her as she leaves their sight, unsure what else to say.
"S..she sure has changed..." Tornleg purrs faintly.
"Mhm..." Nectarfrost nods. At least Tornleg and Fernstar felt better about his sister now.
...
...
Ferretpelt walked quite a distance away from her 'patrol'. She hadn't realized quite how far until she hears the startled gasp ahead.
Palepaw had spotted her before she's spotted him. And the other one.
"Ferretpelt..." The ginger tabby tenses, eying her warily. He takes a deep breath and steadies his voice. "I..I found this kittypet who wants to become an apprentice," He mews, nodding to the car beside him. "I wasn't sure if to take him seriously at first or not but..."
Ferretpelt peers at the young cat. He was gray and tan with golden, curious eyes. But most notably he had huge scar down his face, not unlike Hickorystar's.
"I'll take him." Ferretpelt says tersely.
The kittypet's eyes gleam with excitement.
"Great, I'll tell my friend!" He grins, running off suddenly.
Palepaw freezes, looking between where he'd run off and back at Ferretpelt.
"I'll uh.. l..let Fernstar know." He mews, running back to camp.
Ferretpelt takes a long breath inward before chasing after the kittypet.
...
...
Back in camp, Loudpatch's kits were causing a ruckus.
"What's this?" Nightkit asks, running up to him with a fuzzy leaf.
"I don't know.. where'd you get that from?" He sighs at his daughter.
"Oh, you know..."
Aldershine poked her head out of the medicine. Coldpatch sighs.
"You should put it back where you found it." He mews.
Cloverface's whiskers twitch in amusement. "Need a break, Coldpatch?" She ignores Lilykit mimicking her, "How about we go on patrol with Silver?"
Silver peeks one eye open from where he was sunning himself. He hasn't been bothered by the kits scampering around. "Ah, and here I thought I had my break from you." He teases his former apprentice.
"Hey!" Cloverface huffs. Lilykit laughs and sticks out her tongue.
"I don't mind watching them for a while." Aldershine says.
"Well, alright, it's not a bad idea, if you want to go, Coldpatch." Silver yawns, getting to his paws.
Coldpatch nods.
"Aw..." Lilykit pouts.
Aldershine narrows her eyes at the kits sternly. "If I tell you about this leaf, you have to promise not to touch it without asking first, okay?"
Nightkit nods happily.
...
...
Their patrol wouldn't run into anything notable, but Bloomheart would eventually find Palepaw. Just not the one she'd been looking for.
Frostmist was so excited about leading a patrol with her new apprentice, Bloomheart found it too hard to refuse them when she asked if she was joining them.
Honeyneedle was with them too, though he seemed a bit judgemental of Frostmist's playful approach.
"First one to find one of those kittypets wins!" The gray molly giggles.
"Make sure to chase them off if they're trespassing.." Honeyneedle mews.
"I know!" The younger, actually pale Palepaw grins and races after his mentor.
Bloomheart tilts her head at Honeyneedle as he reluctantly follows. "Looks like you've got something to say."
Honeyneedle sighs and shakes his head. "He doesn't even know the territory yet."
"Aww, I'm sure he won't get lost with you keeping an eye out for hi-"
"Found one!" Palepaw meows.
...
...
"Rum!" An unfamiliar voice young squeaks.
Honeyneedle and Bloomheart hurry over, though the sounds of scuffling and Frostmist's giggling didn't sound like the situation was urgent.
Palepaw had jumped on a blue gray kittypet who looked about Lostpaw's age. A second kittypet roughly the same size rushes to his aid and tackles into Palepaw, sending him rolling.
The blue kittypet wrestles his way on top of Palepaw with a laugh. "Hey, you almost got me! We should play again some time!"
"He's not playing." Honeyneedle growls.
The second, scarred kittypet looks up, startled by the appearance of Bloomheart and Honeyneedle. He darts into the bushes.
He runs behind a more familiar cat, who Honeyneedle stares at in disbelief.
"Ferretpelt?" Bloomheart blinks.
"Oh lighten up," Frostmist chuckles, "If they're having fun, what does it matter?"
"I'm having fun!" Palepaw giggles, batting at the kittypet's ears.
Honeyneedle swishes his tail, ignoring them for them moment to focus on his sister. "What are they doing here?"
"We're here to join you wild cats!" The blue kittypet interrupts.
"Oh are you now?" Honeyneedle huffs, "Did she tell you that?"
"Said I'd take them to Fernstar." Ferretpelt shrugs.
The scarred kittypet steps out from behind her now. "That's their leader, I think." He tells the other.
"It is," Palepaw nods.
"Sweet!" The blue tom grins.
Honeyneedle flexes his claws but Bloomheart puts her tail on his shoulder. "I think that is what Fernstar would want."
"Alright..." Honeyneedle shrugs.
"Palepaw's looking for him already." Ferretpelt explains boredly, "The other one." She says when Palepaw opens his mouth to correct her.
"Mango might be looking for us too, so maybe they'll all find each other..." The scarred kittypet murmurs.
Honeyneedle huffs at the thought of another kittypet.
...
...
Sure enough, Fernstar's patrol would find them shortly with Palepaw's help. Lightning, Badgersky and 'Mango' were with them.
"There you are! You two ought to know not to run off so far!" The kittypet scolds the other two.
"There's so much to explore though!" The blue kittypet called Rum complains.
"Palepaw's told me you want to join the Clan. I say if they've ventured out this far, we'd be more than happy to have you join us." Fernstar chuckles and smiles.
"O..oh no they're not- they're not going anywhere I don't know is safe." Mango meows.
"Didn't stop them before." Lightning snorts.
"A..anywhere *else* then." He puffs.
"You come too then," Frostmist purrs.
It didn't take much more delegating for the kittypets to agree to join.
Rumpaw had insisted on keeping his name at first, but pouted when he heard Mango's was now Abyssclaw. "Whoah, metal. Okay, I changed my mind, give me a cool one too!" Honeyneedle huffs and rolls his eyes, already annoyed at being chosen to look after the kittypet. "Too bad, you already made your choice."
