Life in WindClan Camp

First topic message reminder :




Honeystar gazed at the Leafbare night sky from his den. A big snow-fall had been going on all day, and the warriors were just finished removing it from the Main Clearing. Hopefully we will have enough prey to get us through to New-leaf. Getting up he walked over towards the fresh-kill pile to check on it.

"Sorry, I`ll try catching a few." She dashed off, her mouth agape for mouse scent. She scented one, and spotted it rustling near a few leaves. She locked her eyes on it, and got ready to pounce. It turned around, and darted. She chased after it, scooping it back with her paw and bitings its neck swiftly.
She padded back over to Craneflight, burying the mouse next to him. "Should I catch another one?"

Affection and embarrassment rushed up inside Craneflight. "I better catch them so too, but you can. Let's try finding each three mice, but be careful in case the border should come." He started off finding the scent of mice but soon picked up something else. Grouse! He quietly followed the scent to a nearby bush. He lowered himself to a crouch, and leaped into the bush. Landing on top of the bird before it could escape. After biting it's neck, he dragged it back to Tigerspirit. "Maybe we can hunt for game birds too."

"I don`t think it`s good for me to jump, but I`ll keep on hunting mice." She dashed off, looking for mice. A few minutes later, she returned with two mice. "Is that enough? I don`t want to be rude, and come empty-handed."

Craneflight walked up to the Tribe Deputy and purred while licking along her face. "I think we've caught plenty to feed the Clan." Picking up the grouse, he signaled Tigerspirit to follow him back to the camp.

"Ok, thanks, Crane!" She walked alongside him, carrying her mice. "So...Do you think Honeystar`ll let me stay?"

Craneflight stopped and looked at her. "For the night you mean? I'm sure he will, once he sees the mice you caught, and hears the good news....Unless, you'd rather not tell them yet?"

"That`s up to you, but I`ll never get to tell my Mother..." She stared at the ground sadly, the beautiful calico that she always thought of, but didn`t know, came into mind. It`s my Mom....

Craneflight saw the sadness in Tigerspirit's eyes, and understood. Empathy began to fill up inside his heart. "I know exactly how you feel..." he mewed softly before he buried his face against her shoulder. I will never be able to tell Lotusflower either. Memories of her silver-blue-gray pelt and sky blue eyes appeared in his mind.

Tigerspirit nuzzled Craneflight, "It`s ok, I`m sure she`d be very proud." She put her head on top of his, "It`s be ok, I`m sure she`s very proud."

Craneflight looked up into Tigerspirit's purple eyes and nuzzled her back. "Thank you," he purred warmly. "I'm sure both of our mothers are proud of us." After giving an affectionate lick to her cheeks, he picked the grouse up again, and continued towards the camp.

Tigerspirit picked up her mice, "Bet I can beat you there!" She taunted him, a sly smile appeared on her face.

Letting out a playful purr he remarked, "I could probably beat you there, even while carrying this bird." He started picking up his pace.

Tigerspirit ran ahead, "Wanna bet?" She ran as fast as she could, her long claws unsheathed.

Craneflight began catching up with Tigerspirit, the dead body of the grouse dragged and flopped along the ground, leaving a trail of feathers behind. By the time they reached the camp entrance, despite the birds heavy weight, he manged to get ahead by leaping forward. "I won!" He mewed while panting. His light blue turquoise eyes beamed in delight at her.

Meanwhile, Aurorakit was jumping around in the nursery. "Momma," she mewed at Snowlily, "Am I big enough to go outside yet?!" Snowlily had told Aurorakit and her littermates they couldn't go out of the nursery until they were a moon old. I'm tired of being cooped up in this stuffy rabbit hole!!! She started pouncing on her younger siblings who were all still sleeping. "Come on you three, help me out here!"

Trilliumkit groaned as he opened his eyes to look at his older sister. "Momma let Aurorakit out before we all go crazy like her." He was about to close his eyes when he received a swat on the head from Aurorakit. Now fully awake, he got up and lunged at her and the two of them started rolling between Snowlily and Autumndawn's nests.

Dreamcloud padded into the WindClan camp, Snowpaw and Tigerkit behind her. "Honeystar! I have come to visit!" Dreamcloud meowed, looking for Honeystar.

Honeystar emerged from his Den. He had just got back from border patrol early that. "Hello Dreamcloud," he mewed back happily. "It's great to see you. Are those your kits?" He looked at Snowpaw and Tigerkit warmly.

"Two out of the seven!" Dreamcloud laughed, "This one is Snowpaw and this one is Tigerkit." "Honeystar, is Aurorakit here?" Tigerkit asked, jumping up and down.

Honeystar purred at the little kit. "So you already know one of my newest kits do you?" She must be around Aurora's age. Good. He turned his head toward the Nursery entrance. "She and her littermates are inside. I think she'll be excited to see you." She's been giving the whole clan a headache with her mewing to go outside, and yet Snowlily still won't let her. Maybe a new playmate will change all that.
