Adventurers in Shore clan-chapter 1-pale star goes on patrol

The wind howled through the trees that bordered the sandy shore of the calm river, kicking up leafs and sands as it went, it blew cold wet air that battered the fur of the cats that had made their home near the shore.

Reeds and brambles had been weaved into thick and powerful walls that surrounded a clearing that was mostly empty but there were glowing eyes peeking out from ditches under bushes and large flat rocks.

there was a small gathering of cats, they were huddling closely around a red tabby with a strangely long narrow snout, they all stood in front of a large dead tree which's roots curled into the earth, the cold wet wind soaked their fur lightly and they occasionally shook it out.

One of the cats, a ginger tabby who looked very uncomfortable having her fur blown about asked the question that seemed to be on all the cats minds" river nose why have you brought us out of our dens in this weather"

River nose replied "the prey pile is running low quail willow, the storm has been keeping us from hunting and patrolling on our territory for too long and now that the rain has stopped we must take the opportunity to restock or we will starve" the gathered cats looked over at the prey pile.

even though the prey pile was under a large flat rock, the storm had still managed to soak the prey, the few fish and mice that were in the pile were bedraggled and muddy and they looked like they should have been thrown away long ago, it didn't help when quail willows stomach growled in hunger.

"river nose is right, I volunteer for the hunting patrol, my mate is eating for more than just herself now" a brown tabby said stepping forward.

Some the warriors mewed in agreement and stepped forward to be sorted into patrols.

"ugh, can't we sit this one out tiny whisker it cold and my fur is soaking" said a small blue grey she cat, shaking her pelt out.

"no brindle paw, the clan needs the prey and this is a good learning experience for you, on some occasions warriors must hunt through extreme weather" tiny whisker said shaking her back paws to rid them of water, brindle paw huffed but followed her mentors lead.

River nose thought over which cats would be best for each patrol "okay the border patrol will consist of big storm, shell thorn and sky tail" river nose said looking over her clan mates.

The three cats nodded and walked through the reed entrance of the camp to start their patrol.

"keen feather, tiny whisker, brindle paw, quail willow and- "river nose was about to announce the last cat for the patrol when a voice interrupted her from behind.

"I will be going on the patrol with you" they all looked to see a pale brown she cat making her way out of a gap in the roots of the dead tree.

"pale star are you sure? you should stay here in camp encase of an emergency" river nose told her leader.

"don't try to stop me river nose, ever since I became leader I never get to go hunting anymore" pale star said padding up to the groups of cats.

"I agree with river nose, your too important to the clan to be going out right after a large storm there's no telling what's happened in the territory since we've all been stuck in camp" a cream and brown tom said.

"it doesn't matter I'm your leader and the clan is my responsibility, and anyways stream fleck shouldn't you be in the medicine cat den, your nose is dripping" pale star replied, she was right stream flecks nose was leaking and his eyes were slightly red and watering.
