The ForestClan Roleplay - Book 3

"Sure, that's fine," Mintblossom mumbled as she watched the black cat ease himself to the ground. "I hope we don't have another hard to handle winter. I'd prefer staying in the nursery and helping Dappletrail out. But if worse comes to worst, I'll be there hunting and fighting right beside you." She nodded quickly, as if to persuade herself that what she was saying was true.

[poke]

"Oh,of course you can!" Dappletrail purred and then nodded solemnly,"Leaf-bare will be coming soon." Then she glanced at her stomach,"But hopefully my kits will be born before that cold time!" She purred again."I'm sure my kits will be the best warriors they can be." The tortoiseshell's amber eyes gleamed with excitement as she spoke.

Dappletrail sniffed around her nest and poked it softly with her paws.She was making sure there were no possible thorns or other sharp things tangled into it that would injure her kits.

"So," Mintblossom butted in rather rudely. "Who's the lucky father?" She realized after blurting this out that some queens were very sensitive about who fathered the kits, and wanted to take it back. It was too late, Blackstorm and Dappletrail had already heard.

[α ι r α- - - :»]

Blackstorm frowned at Mintblossom. "You should be out there now helping us stock up until Dappletrail needs help. She's a strong she-cat, she can look after herself till than" Blackstorm didn't mean to make it sound rude that was just the way he was. He took a large bite out of the mouse and finished it in another couple gulps. He sat up and started grooming himself. "Lets hope that this winter won't be as bad this time. Although it always seems to be horrible." He turned his head slightly as he watched Dappletrail poke through her nest. "I shall send an apprentice over to check out your nest and to freshen it up for you."

Mintblossom glared at the tom and stomped away before Dappletrail could answer. She cursed under her breath at his rudeness and began running until she was deep in the heart of ForestClan territory. She looked for mice but heard nothing scrabbling in the bushes. Suddenly she caught the slight scent of a vole on the wind. She slithered towards the smell and saw it poking in the dirt. She launched into the air and killed the prey with one easy swipe of her claw. She gave thanks for its life and sprinted back to the camp and into the nursery.

"Happy now?" She glared at Blackstorm, still making small talk with Dappletrail. She tossed the piece of prey at him and galloped out of the camp. She didn't like being so rude, but she couldn't allow herself to be walked all over.

[i hope dawn never comes.]

( wait can I play flowerkit yet? )

[poke]

Dappletrail blinked,and sort of stuttered under her breathe.Mousedung,I should have seen this coming...if I just say I don't want to name the father.. She sighed,They will respect it,but no doubt be suspicious Before she could even say anything,Mintblossom had sprinted out,anger trailing behind her.

She shifted her paws and then glanced at Blackstorm."No.." She swallowed,"No,that's okay!I know how much apprentices dread cleaning out nests." The tortoiseshell acted a cheerful and normal as she could,but her thought from earlier made her spine quiver.

Mintblossom stomped heavily on the soft earth outside of the nursery. She wanted to apologize to Dappletrail, but didn't want to have Blackstorm be witness to it. She found a small patch in the wall of the den close to Dappletrail's head that she pulled off and tossed to the side.

"Dappletrail," she whispered through the opening. "Come out here please. It's Mintblossom." She moved in front of the den and waited for the she-cat to emerge.

(( I wish I had something to add to this... Lighty, would you want to do something with Rabbitpaw and Orangestripe and maybe Moonkit? ))

[we can LIGHT(y) up the sky(:]

((Rabbitleap && Moonpaw? Suree. You can start off.))

[—ƒrostyy—]

(( xD Right. I kinda forgot that they had their ceremonies... lol. ))

Orangestripe blinked and looked around the camp. Everyone seemed so busy, hav
ing something to do. Thinking for a moment, he realized didn't have anything to do. Deciding to change that, he stood and stretched, then padded over to the warriors' den, and poked his head in.
"Rabbitleap!" he called to his mate, slipping completely through the den entrance. Padding towards the back of the den, he sat next to her with his tail curled neatly around his paws and blinked again, thinking.
"Would you like to go hunting with me?" he asked, choosing what he wanted to do with his time.

[we can LIGHT(y) up the sky(:]

"I would love to," Rabbitleap purred. It'd been so long since the clan had done much of anything, and she just got over a cold. It's good to build up strength. "Where would you like to go?" She looked off into the distance and longed to feel the cold earth on her belly fur as she stalked a mouse.

[—ƒrostyy—]

Orangstripe thought for a moment, looking around the forest surrounding them. It had been a long time since he and Rabbitleap had done anything together. Suddenly, he got an idea.
"There's a beech tree nearby, maybe we could try there," he suggested, his tail twitching with anticipation of the hunt. "I'm sure there will be some prey."
