((Yup.  ^^))

Winterstar jumped on top of the Snowy Rock.  "All cats old enough to catch their own prey come to the Snowy Rock for a clan meeting!"  His call rang out over the camp.  He looked at Wolfsong.  "I say these words before the memory of our old deputy, so that their spirit can accept my choice.  Wolfsong is the new deputy of Frostclan!" 

"REally, you can help me?!" Moonwater nuzzled him and didn't even flinch when slime dropped onto her nose. She laughed after realizing it was there and shook herself, making green specks fly everywhere. she laughed again and it felt good. She hadn't laughed in a while. Not fully anyway. All her time was consumed by Stoneriver's sickness...

--------------------------

"th-Thank you." Leopardpaw stammered and followed after the warrior. She stumbled a bit, not knowing the layout of DeathClan, but she got used to it after a few moments. It was as if she was born to be a DeathClan cat...

Cursedsoul smiled.  "Of course."  He purred.  "I remember reading about it."  He glanced to the side, seeing honey suckle.  "Good, the honey suckle is in season."  He said picking a whole branch of the yellow and white flowers.  Putting it down, he said, "Although most don't know it, honey suckle actually has many magical healing properties, though it only works for magical beings, like we are."  He chuckled a little, "That's actually the proper word, Magical beings, not Mutants."  He picked the branch up again.  "Lead me to your sister please."  He said, his voice muffled by the branch.

~~~

"Nightstar."  Furyheart called, her voice becoming the normal angry sounding hiss that she usually used with everyone.  "Where are you?"  She didn't care if she talked to her leader in her mean tone, but she talked to everyone like that, so most were used to it.

~~~

"Wolfsong, set up some patrols please, we're running low on prey."  Winterstar told the new deputy.  "I must rest now, the life that I lost took a lot out of me."

Wolfsong nodded obidiently "Yes winterstar. I shall set them up. Get some rest." He scanned the crowd of cats below him. Then decided on a patrol "Honestheart, Flowerstorm, Snippaw, and Flamesong. You will accompany me on a hunting patrol."

Snippaw sneered.  "Finally I get to do something!"  She said, leaping up and walking to Wolfsong.  She snuck her nose up in the air as she walked, like the spoiled brat she was.

Flowerstorm trotted to Wolfsong, Honestheart following behind.  -Fail-

~~~

Furyheart flicked her tail over the ground, Nightstar's snapping didn't even make her bl
ink.  "A former Frostclan apprentice wishes to join our clan.  Before you turn her away, I think you should know that she took one of Winterstar's lives before she left her former clan."  She paused a few seconds, "I also volunteer to be her mentor."

Wolfsong smirked at the naiivity of the apprentice and almost felt sorry for her. Then he looked and saw his patrol had gathered. "Okay, would anyone care to make a suggestion to where we hunt?"

"We should hunt where there is the most prey.  Duh!"  Snippaw snapped, flicking her tail over the ground.  "Honestly, how did you ever become the deputy and not me?  When I become leader of the clan like Daddy I'll be sure to exile cats like you."

Honestheart blinked at Snippaw.  He was surprised that the apprentice would dare talk to the deputy like that.  He didn't voice what he thought to her though, he preferred to stay quiet in situations like this.  He preferred to stay quiet most of the time actually.

Flowerstorm just stared at Snippaw.  "Really."  She said to the apprentice.  "You really just said that.  To the deputy.  Of our clan.  Who is probably going to be the future leader.  REALLY?"

((Hey, can Wolfsong start to like Flowerstorm?  o3o  Maybe just a little, since she has awesome sarcasm.  xD)) 

He glared at her with fire in his eyes. "Very funny. Looks like we have a comic in the patrol this evening! But i dont think daddy would think that was very funny and wouldn't be too happy. So if you'd like to make kit-like remarks Snippaw I can arrange for you to go back to the nursery." Then he smiled at the she-cat who stood up for him. He liked her sense of humor. Maybe he would talk to her later in the patrol. ((You got it c:))

((8D Caaan you feeel the looove toniiight?  Eee-heee-eee-heee-heee~))

Snippaw narrowed her eyes at Wolfsong.  "Ha!"  She said.  "Daddy would never allow that!  Daddy even told me that he would make me warrior quicker then anyone else!  Daddy will do anything I say because I am his precious little angel!"  She sneered at the deputy.  "And I'll tell Daddy that you were mean to me, and then he'll bump you back down to a kit!"

Flowerstorm snorted.  "You wouldn't know what a precious little angel was if it bit your tail!"  She scoffed.  "Plus we have witnesses, and I could say that you broke the warrior code."  She sneered at the kit, "Who would 'daddy' listen to, his deputy and trusted warriors, or an annoying little devil?"  She looked up at Wolfsong, who was smiling at her, she smiled back, flicking her tail.

 ((haha nice one! :D))

He smiled at Flowerstorm's remark. "Now that we've listened to childish babble from this one," He flicked his tail at the snooty apprentice "we can get this patrol on the move. Now Honestheart, you have keen senses and are a wise cat, where do you think we should hunt today?" He realized how gorgeous she was as the moonlight lay on her pelt and the stars twinled in her eyes

((xD Thanks.  It was the first thing that came to mind.))

Snippaw hissed, sitting down and cleaning her fur.  They would learn.  One day.

Honestheart closed his eyes for a few moments.  "It is spring, yes?"  He paused a few seconds, then opened his brown eyes.  "We should go somewhere that has many nuts and berries, mice and birds will be active and hungry after a long winter.  The Nut Trees or the Multy-Berry Bush would be good places to go.  Shall we split up?"  The Nut Trees were a collection of trees by the south of Frostclan territory, during the right times of year, many squirrels, mice, and birds could be found there, eating the falling nuts from the trees.  The Multy-Berry Bush was actually a bunch of different berry bushes bunched together, but it looked like one bush with multiple kinds of berries on it, birds loved it there.

((Twas funny c:))

Wolfsong nodded, a wise cat indeed. "We must stick together for now due to the attacks earlier, I can't risk a small group being outnumbered and ambushed. We shall go to the Multy-Berry Bush." He looked around for any objections and stood up to lead his clanmates on the patrol

((<3))

Honestheart nodded and followed Wolfsong, his tail trailing along behind him.  He was a wise cat, however, he was starting to get old.  The last battle that they had reminded him of it.  He noticed every little join crack that he had when he walked.  He sighed, thinking of all of the things he went through as a young warrior.  It would have been nice to have a kit or to so he could pas.s on his calm and wise personality, retaining every bit of information like a sponge, but maybe he could teach other kits, when there are any, about retaining information and help them be wise.  Hm.. Maybe it was time to retire..  He shifted his attention for now, he should focus on hunting.

Snippaw growled, thinking for a few moments that she should speak out.  But she stayed quiet.  For now. 

Flowerstorm trotted with the next of the group.  She matched her pace with Wolfsong, brushing her pelt against his for a few seconds, then slowing down so she was behind him.  It always was fun to tease.

As wolfsong walkedto his destination he felt a warm pelt brush his, but as quickly as it came it was gone. And surprisingly he was saddened by that. Normally keeping any emotion but anger to himself it was odd for him to feel such a way. He shook the thoughts away. He needed to focus.

Flowerstorm smiled slightly when she saw how Wolfsong reacted.  She wasn't that good at reading others most of the time, but she was pretty good at telling what that look that he had in his eyes for a few seconds was.  She looked around, realizing that they were at their destination.

"We're here!"  Snippaw's bratty voice called out.  "You can stop walking now!"  She sat down and curled her tail around her paws.  "Are we going to hunt or what?" 

Wolfsong batted the loud apprentice on the ear to shut her up and dropped into a hunting crouch. Now silent and head clear of all thoughts but hunting... And flowerstorm. Then he saw the bird and pounced pinning it and delivering a killing bite before it even had a chance

Flowerstorm smiled at Wolfsong.  "Great job."  She purred, brushing her tail down his back.  Then she turned away to hunt herself.  She quickly spotted a bird that was busy eating a berry that had fallen on the ground.  She pounced on it and bit its neck, hearing a satisfying crunch.

Honestheart padded over to one of the bushes, he carefully picked a berry with his teeth, being sure not to break it.  He put the berry on the ground and walked away and waited.  He taught himself this technique a while ago.  Soon enough, a bird landed near it, but before it could so much as peck it he pounced and killed it.

Snippaw chased birds everywhere she could.  They all flew away.  She pretty much ruined the chances of anyone else catching any more prey for the day.  She sat down and groomed herself, satisfied.
