SnakeClan Camp

[glow=red,2,300][shadow=red,left,300]MOONFIRE[/shadow][/glow]

Moonfire would not be tricked, even if he was older than her, she saw his smirk. She knew a sneaky, stupid cat when she saw one, Hunting my foot! she thought, he was up to something...this cat would think that he would win, she would play his game a while...
"Oh!" She meowed putting a bashful embarrassed look on her face, I'm sorry, "I didn't mean, I didn't want-" she was not stupid enough to turn around and smirk like he did, she would play it cool, she would not let a fluke slip.
She put on a play full smile, "How 'bout we take the dawn patrol together?" she wanted him to think she was totally engrossed, " I could teach you how to hunt again. You can ask me on a hunting patrol anytime," she almost thought about batting her eyes. Too fluky and fake......
Now, she would have to see if he believed it...

Swifteyes

Swifteyes blinked. "Er, yes, but I'm not sure- that is, I would be happy to," he stammered, surprised. He sensed that the pretty deputy was up to something, but he wasn't exactly sure what. "So...dawn patrol it is, then." He winced at the thought of waking up so early.
His eyes widened in horror as Hazelpaw padded up.
"No, no, no. No way. I am NOT going on patrol with an apprentice," he hissed, his claws digging into the soft earth. He disliked all young cats. They were too noisy for his taste.

Hazelpaw

Overhearing her mentor's statement, Hazelpaw trotted over beside her. "Can I come too?" she asked, excitedly prancing in place. She hoped her mentor said yes; she would love out-doing Swifteyes, as it was well-known even outside the clan that he was the laziest cat in the territories.
Her lip curled to reveal sharp teeth after Swifteyes finished speaking.
"I'll 'apprentice' YOU you piece of foxdung!" she snarled, raising her paw as if to swat the warrior across his arrogant face.

"Stop!" Moonfire meowed, her eyes flashing, "Hazelpaw, put your paw down! And you," she whirled around to Swifteyes, "How dare you talk to my apprentice like that? She's just an apprentice, you were a young cat too once!" or was that too long ago you can't remeber? she thought silently. "Hazelpaw, come with me, Swifteyes wait for me at the tunnel." She wirled around and jumped up to the rock wall, "Well, you coming?" she asked Hazelpaw.
How dare he yell at her apprentice? As he disappeared around the bend, she relaxed. She was proud of Hazelpaw, at lest they had one thing in common. Maybe she could help her trick Swifteyes.
"Come on!" she meowed again as she saw Hazelpaw straggling behind, "Your not in trouble," she smiled at her resuringly.

Swifteyes

Swifteyes glared at the deputy. "Fine," he snapped, then stalked away. She better give that apprentice what she deserves, he thought, lashing his tail. He sat down, waiting for Moonfire.

Hazelpaw

"I'm not?" Hazelpaw asked, surprised, as Swifteyes stalked away. "But I almost clawed his face off."
She secretly wished that Moonfire hadn't interupted her, but of course, she didn't say it out loud.
"Wait," she said as a crafty look seemed to come into Moonfire's eyes. "You look like you're up to something..." Hazelpaw grinned, her wide eyes attentive.

MOONFIRE

[/shadow][/glow]

"At that I am!" she meowed once they were out of sight, "Now, do you like Swifteyes? I'm guessing no, but I could be wrong," she sat silently while she waited for an answer. She wished that she hadn't interrupted her, but she didn't want to look suspicious. Hazelpaw answered right away-

[//Sunneh// is FuMiNg]

Hazelpaw

-"No, way!" Hazelpaw spat, looking disgusted. "Swifteyes is a lazy furball who seriously needs to get a life. And a no-good piece of crowfood at that." she added, shaking her head. She had a feeling that Swifteyes was up to something-something that was against the warrior code, but an accusation like that was too serious to state without proof.

[glow=red,2,300][shadow=red,left,300]MOONFIRE[/shadow][/glow]

"I thought so," she meowed, "so, you understand? Good, I want you to help me find out what he is up too, you can come on the patrol, we're not going with him, I want you to get some training done, then....you will be my spy," she smiled mischevoulsy, "Not a word though okay? Follow me!"
She jumped down from the ledge with Hazelpaw, "Go back to your den and pretend to be asleep, I will tell Swifteyes that you were punished, anyway, I can't believe he's up this early, no cat is up yet except me, you, and him!"
As she watched Hazelpaw slink back into the apprentice den, she hurriedly snuck back into the warriors' den and went to lay down next to Thunderheart.

Nudging her with his paw, he bent down to her level. "Hey, doll. Do you and Hazelpaw want to come with Eveningpaw and I while I show her the territory?" he asked.
She rose unsteadily to her paws, after that terrifying dream, and that early morning 'Chat' with Swifteyes and Hazelpaw, she was so tired, "Of course," she meowed, "just have to organize the patrols first," she stepped out of the warriors' den and waited until everyone was awake. As she assigned the patrols, she thought about her dream, was it a message from StarClan? She didn't think so, this was of love, StarClan wouldn't get involved in that!
As she walked into the clearing, she saw Eveningpaw bounding up to Thunderheart on the other side of her.
"Where's Hazelpaw?" she asked.

[glow=blue,2,300][shadow=blue,left,300]EVENINGPAW[/shadow][/glow]

"Oh, Hazelpaw is sleeping in, the lazy furball!" she meowed, "What are we doing today, Thunderheart? Can we do some battle training?"

[//Sunneh// is FuMiNg]

Swifteyes

Swifteyes padded up to Moonfire after she assigned the patrols, his eyes narrowed.
"Did you give your apprentice a good punishment? Nearly attacking me-she should be banished," he sniffed in his superior way. After glancing at Eveningpaw and Thunderheart like they were peices of especially rotten crowfood, he turned back to Moonfire.
"So," he purred, trying to sound cheerful. "you and me, hunting patrol, tomorrow morning, don't be late." Then he trotted off without waiting for an answer.

Hazelpaw

After what seemed like a lifetime, Hazelpaw bounded out of the apprentices' den. She stopped to glare at Swifteyes as he passed by, using all the will in her body to prevent herself from throwing herself at the warrior and clawing his arrogant face. Hazelpaw dropped to her haunches beside Eveningpaw, then turned to her mentor.
"I'm ready for training, Moonfire," she said, trying to keep the excitement out of her voice.

[- - -evening ||]

[glow=red,2,300][shadow=red,left,300]MOONFIRE[/shadow][/glow]

Urgg! Moonfire hated that cat! She turned around when Hazelpaw bounded up to her.
"Good! She meowed, right now, we are going to go with Thunderheart and Eveningpaw. We might go and renew our borders, you won't mind if we help Eveningpaw along will you?" she lowered her voice, "It would give you time to think of a plan to get back at Swifteyes, I already have a plan, but I trust you to come up with one too," she meowed, her eyes blazing,"Come on!"
As she raced to the camp entrance, she noticed Swifteyes give her apprentice an evil glare. The fur on her back begin to rise. That crowfood, he would get it! She vowed, he would get it!

Hazelpaw

Hazelpaw grinned at Eveningpaw. "Come on," she mewed, and then she dashed after Moonfire. She wondered what her mentor had in mind for Swifteyes; the dark warrior really seemed to rub her the wrong way.
"No surprise there," she muttered under her breath, her voice to low for Eveningpaw to hear.

[- - -evening ||]

[glow=blue,2,300][shadow=blue,left,300]EVENINGPAW[/shadow][/glow]

Eveningpaw dashed after Hazelpaw, "So, what was your first day out of camp like? I can't wait to do some battle training! ^^ I'm sure your better than me!" she narrowed her eyes playfully, "For now....!"
and then she pounced on Hazelpaw, claws sheathed.

[glow=red,2,300][shadow=red,left,300]
MOONFIRE[/shadow][/glow]

Moonfire stopped at the camp entrance to let Hazelpaw, Eveningpaw, and Thunderheart catch up with her. They were all moving unusually slow. Hazelpaw was talking/play fighting with Eveningpaw, so that didn't surprise her, but Thunderheart was left in the dust, his tail dragging.
"Come on, Thunderheart!" she meowed, "Where'd all of your enthusiasm disappear to? It's your first day, Eveningpaw needs all of the enthusiasm she can get, you have to work that cat hard, Thunderheart!" she meowed jokingly.

Thunderheart

Thunderheart laughed. "No, Eveningpaw, we aren't going to do battle training. Your way too young for that sort of thing. Lets go patrol borders. Come on, Moonfire!" he said over his shoulder, heading out of camp. "Eveningpaw," he said as they walked through the forest, "This is the forest. It is our life- it supports us and gives us shelter from harsh weather. If it weren't for the forest we would have a terribly hard time living and surviving. We must treat our forest with care." he looked up as he walked, then back down. "Come on, the border is this way!"

[- - -evening ||]

[glow=blue,2,300][shadow=blue,left,300]EVENINGPAW[/shadow][/glow]

Eveningpaw looked up; she had a mouthful of Hazelpaw's hair and Hazelpaw was biting her tail, "Okay!" she meowed as she half jumped, half sprang after Thunderheart. She was trampling after Thunderheart, Moonfire and Hazelpaw right behind them. As she stepped on twigs, one after the other, and flattened a patch of grass and ferns, she heard Thunderheart meow, "This is the forest. It is our life- it supports us and gives us shelter from harsh weather. If it weren't for the forest we would have a terribly hard time living and surviving. We must treat our forest with care."
Oops! She immediately froze in mid-jump and composed herself.
"Come on, the border is this way," he meowed.
"I know!" she meowed, and then immediately slapped her tail over her mouth. Thunderheart did not need to know about her little adventure with to the border with Duskpaw and......Sunkit. She felt sullen, now she missed her brother! First her brother goes off, and then her sister decides to become a medicine cat!
She then perked up, it didn't matter, she would become the best warrior ever to make up for the loss of Duskpaw and Sunkit. New determination burned in her eyes, and she slowly and calmly padded after Thunderheart.

OCC: Wow! She has quick mood swings!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[glow=red,2,300][shadow=red,left,300]MOONFIRE[/shadow][/glow]

Moonfire observed Thunderheart quietly, did he like her? She couldn't tell, her feelings and emotions were all mixed up, How could Raccoonstar love her? Is that why he chose her to be deputy? Did she really not deserve to be deputy at all?
More importantly, who did she like?

OCC: Oh great! More mixed up feelings!!!!

Hazelpaw

Hazelpaw rolled off her back as Eveningpaw sprang after Thunderheart, and was quickly on their heels.
She paused as Thunderheart started talking, then blinked. It was at times like this that she felt like she realized the importance of the forest-and the warrior code. Only kill when in need, Hazelpaw thought, her tail swishing back and forth. She didn't understand why some warriors were so bloodthirsty-she could never imagine killing in cold blood. Hazelpaw had always been laid-back, and friendly with cats from other clans.
But not IvyClan, Hazelpaw thought with disgust. IvyClan cats were crowfood-eating scavengers in her opinion. Even the youngest apprentices in IvyClan acted like elders with stomache-aches at gatherings. Hazelpaw shook her head, then continued following Moonfire. She grinned at Eveningpaw, rolled her eyes towards Moonfire, and then Thunderheart with a little snicker. She knew they had feelings for each other, but was puzzled at the silence that went on between them. If you liked someone,and they liked you back, didn't you tell them how you feel?

OOC: She's SO naive. XD

Thunderheart

Thunderheart thought for a moment about what Eveningsong had said, then dismissed the thought. She must have a very good sense of direction. he thought with a grin.
Thunderheart looked back to Moonfire with a wide grin, who was falling behind. "Come on, doll. The deputy needs to be able to catch up to her apprentice!" he said lightly. He had taken to calling Moonfire doll now-a-days, if only to mess with her.
"Eveningpaw," Thunderheart meowed, turning to his apprentice. "what can you smell?" Yes, this was only her second day, but frankly she needed to learn to recognize scents quickly. It was a major skill to acquire.


OOC: aha she is ^.^ and i keep making spelling mistakes... thank goodness for google chrome's spell check ^.^
