Warriors Super Edition: TimberClan's Mark

Chapter 10

"Bravestar." Meowed a voice. It was morning. Bravestar turned around. "Yes Flintnose?" He asked. "I sent out a hunting patrol, Feathertuft was teaching Russel some fighting moves, and she told me to tell you he saved Shadeears from a cat that threatened her kits." Flintnose meowed.
Bravestar nodded his head in approval. Flintnose went off to play with his kits. The TimberClan leader laid down in the clearing. Feathertuft padded into the camp with Kinkstem, Nighttail, Heatherfur, Pikestalk, Nettlepoppy, and Russel all with prey. Meanwhile the rogue, Fircone, who joined by permission recently, was the last as he carried in a squirrel as he accompanied them.
Barkpelt padded up to him. "Why did two StarClan cats from WolfClan and ViperClan say what they said to us after you asked them that question?" He asked.
"I do not know.." Bravestar replied. He didn't want to be bothered right now. He was worrying about Leopardheart and the kits. Along with his warriors of course. Marrigoldrunner's kits were only three moons old, and they had to be made apprentices by the time they were six moons of age. He saw Crouchfoot and Heatherfur sharing tongues. Leopardheart was yawning beside Shadeears. Fircone padded from the freshkill pile and sat down by Bravestar. "You know, you're a lot nicer than those WolfClan and ViperClan brutes.. I would have joined ScarClan but they didn't seem like the type the stars told me to walk to.. AshClan was the same." He meowed, going on and on about his so called quest to be a warrior of one of the Clans. Bravestar listened ears pricked.
"I've noticed the four cats they have protecting their land were bickering about something.." He meowed.
"And that was?" Bravestar asked the tom.
"They seemed to be insulting each other." The light brown tabby replied.
Bravestar nodded his head at this information. "Plus this area seems nice." He commented. "We have ViperClan and WolfClan to thank for it." The TimberClan leader meowed.
Fircone dipped his head as he began to groom. Sprucekit and Tigerkit bounded past.
"Grr!" Tigerkit playfully pounced on her brother.
"No fair!" The brown tom whined.
Bravestar purred at the kits, their energy so big and playful.
"You'll have what to catch me first!" The she-kit squeaked.
Sprucekit chased after her, wriggling his small rump.
Tigerkit ran but leaped back. "Ouch!" She squeaked as his paws clamped on her tail. The kit purred as she bristled at her brother.

Runningfall was padding around as he sat on a log. Flintnose padded up. "Alright you let's go.. we're going on a border patrol." He meowed. Bravestar has assigned him to fulfill Leopardheart's duties until she safely had her kits and even then she had to take care of them;nursing them and making sure of no dangers. So Flintnose was going to be temporary deputy for a while.
"What?" The brown and gray tabby grumbled. "Why? The wolves are gone, those mangey crow eater cats are long way away by now, and the other Clans aren't attacking us. So why patrol when there's no threat about?" He asked.
The white and gray tom bristled slightly. "There's still foxes and badgers." He rumbled. Bravestar sighed. "But they are not on our land are they?"
"From the scent of it, no." The tom meowed in reply to his leader.
"But didn't you say that you smelled ViperClan near the territory?" Nettlepoppy asked the white and gray tom, her stump tail twitching. Bravestar sighed to himself.
"They were probably on another one of their snake catching things.." Poolhawk reassured. "Alright alright. Flintnose take a border patrol but do not engage in any fights." He told the tom.
The tom nodded. "Poolhawk, get Pikestalk, Kinkstem, Nighttail, Echostream, Feathertuft, and Russel." He meowed. The cats padded up. Barkpelt could be heard organizing herbs in a log, his den that dipped into the ground. "Hm lets see...chervil... dock.. thyme-mousedung! I need catmint!"
"Mousedung's a herb?!" Flowerkit squeaked to her mother.
Racoonkit, Marrigoldrunner's second kit, wrinkled his nose. "Yuck!" He mewed disgusted.
Marigoldrunner purred with amusement. "No my dear kits." She meowed.
Flintnose padded out of camp with the patrol. Bravestar looked at Barkpelt.
The tom padded after. "I need catmint.." he muttered.
Bravestar nodded "Do you know where to find any?" He asked his medicine cat.
"I remembered that it grew by this kittypet's garden. A good friend of mine to be exact. But he works different, you need to offer him something in order for you to get something." He told him.
Bravestar sighed "Now that's going to be complicated." He meowed.
