: Settling in :
Vixen woke up well before the sun rose. They just sat in their new nest waiting for someone else to wake up.
Come on! I can't wait to go on my first patrol! Oh I'll need a warrior name! Something unique. . . Vixenfur? No basic. Vixenleap? Do Vixen’s leap well? I'm not sure. Vixensky. . . I like that name. Vixensky. Vixensky! Oh I love it!
Vixen sat up as another cat stirred.
“Did you even sleep?” Thornclaw asked jokingly.
Vixen shrugged. “I slept for a few hours at least.”
Thornclaw shrugged. “I guess that's probably enough.”
Vixen couldn't tell if he was being serious or not.
Thornclaw walked over to Spiderleg’s nest and nudged him awake. “Hurry up and wake up so we can patrol together.”
Spiderleg groaned. “It’s so early. . .”
Thornclaw nudged him again. “Welcome to being a warrior.” he joked.
Spiderleg dragged himself up and stood up.
Thornclaw turned to Vixen. “Hey Vixen, wanna come with us?”
Excitement coursed through Vixen. “Sure!” they bounced.
Thornclaw laughed. “Alright come on then.”
Vixen followed the two toms out of the warriors den.
Brambleclaw was sorting patrols, Ashfur was no where to be seen. He was probably still with the kits.
Vixen felt eyes on them and looked up to see Firestar.
The ginger tabby dipped his head to them. “Vixen is it? I just wanted to say welcome to ThunderClan.”
Vixen dipped their head respectfully. What's he up to? Why's he being so nice to me? Suspicious prickled in their fur.
Vixen caught up with Spiderleg and Thornclaw.
Brambleclaw nodded at her in greeting. Vixen returned the greeting.
“Brambleclaw, me and Spiderleg would like to go on a patrol with Vixen.” Thornclaw informed Brambleclaw.
“Alright then, you three can patrol the south border.” Brambleclaw instructed.
Vixen nodded eagerly and followed the other members of the patrol out of camp.
“And this is the lake.”
Vixen pretended they had never seen the lake before.
The expanse of water was a little boring, sure it looked pretty. But reflections weren't that interesting.
Vixen did, however, love the trees around the lake. Trees were the most gorgeous things. Vixen loved trees.
It's kind of weird. I feel so strongly attached trees. . .Is there something wrong with me?
Thornclaw was watching her. He spoke but Vixen didn't hear. They were staring at a petal that had fallen to the ground.
Stop! No! I don't want to see this! Stop! It was horrible enough the first time! Help! Vixen could barely breathe. They were crying. The world seemed to become just the small area that the petal encompassed.
A tail laid on Vixen’s shoulder.
Vixen was snapped from their panic attack. They shot around to see Spiderleg staring at them, eyes wide with concern.
“S-sorry I-I. . .” Vixen stammered.
Spiderleg pulled her close. “It’s alright.” he soothed.
Vixen buried themself in Spiderleg’s fur, collapsing into him. Their heartbeat slowly steadied.
“Let’s get back to camp.” Spiderleg slowly helped Vixen up.
Vixen nodded slowly, still shaking a little.
Spiderleg and Thornclaw carefully helped Vixen walk.
An:
Thornclaw's personality changes depending on the weather ;-; I have no idea what to do with him.
