Sootclaw

It pained my heart to know that I'm breaking the warrior code. I shouldn't have helped, thekiy was doing fine, but the Dirtstorm shows up and takes him. I swear I'm an idiot. It's going to be so weird without Flintkit.

I go and catch two fish, to make it seem that I went hunting. When I head back to the camp I run into Ravensky. "Hey, need any help?" He asks, I shake my head. My stomach tingles with embarrassment, though I have nothing to be embarrassed about. "Ok then." He says.

As I finish filling the fresh kill pile Bluekit comes up to me, "Have you seen Flintkit?" She asks, "No, but shouldn't you be sleeping, why are you up so late?" I lied and questioned. "Because I had to get my paw checked out." She replies. "Ok." I say. An awkward silence fills the air. Bluekit then leaves to the nursery.

I plop down in my nest, Nightfeather comes up to me. "We're were you?" She asks, "Hunting." I reply. "Umhum..." She mumbles. Nightfeather then pads to her nest, "I told him by the way." She says as she falls asleep. "What!" I spat. "SHHHHH!!!" Dustclaw hisses.

Shadedeyes

I pace around the outside of the leader's den. Should I go tell Dipstar that we have to start heading out soon? I question myself. I finally got the courage to call Dipstar, "Umm... Dipstar can we speak?" I ask. "Yes we can, come on in." He says.

I pad in the den, it's not the first time I've been here. "What would you like to talk about Shadedeyes?" He asked, "Umm, I was wondering... When are we going to find the old clans?" I asked. Dipstar's eyes filled with an unreadable expression. "Fox dung!" He spats, "Thank you for reminding me Shadedeyes, I need to pick out warriors that are going to go." He says, "No problem, and yes, I'm sure your going to pick the right cats." I say. He smiles and nods to dismiss me.

Dipstar

As Shadedeyes leaves I start thinking about who I'm going to send. I pad out the den and walk around. I watch my clan flourish. All the members happy and doing their jobs. I have such a good clan, it's going to be hard to pick.

After a long day of thinking I finally pick the cats. I get on top of Bright Stone, "All cats old enough to catch their own pray gather for a clan meeting." I yowl.

The cats quickly gather with no hesitation. "I would like to thank Shadedeyes for reminding me bout the hunt for the old clans." The clan howls her name, when they settle I speak again, "I want the following cats to go on the trip; Sootclaw, Whitewillow, Moonwhisp, Ravensky, Foxpelt, Nightfeather, Deerclaw, Darktail, Burntpelt, and Sandpaw." The cats seem to be happy with my choice. "Tomorrow you set out, I won't be joining you unfortunately, but I trust that Shadedeyes will guide you." I let the clan congratulate Shadedeyes for the big step, "Shortpelt, can you get the the traveling herbs ready?" I ask, "Yes, they will be ready by sun rise." He says. "Good. Clan dismissed." I say.

I hope that they make it there and back safely.

Nightfeather at the top, ČX thanks for reading I will be updating soon, no promises though.
