SnakeClan Camp

Swifteyes

Swifteyes let out an irritated yowl. "Don't you get what I'm trying to say to you? You'll never become a worthy warrior. I mean, look at you!" Swifteyes scrutinized Falconpaw with a disapproving eye, though he could not find anything wrong with the apprentice's strong build.
"You should be ashamed," Swifteyes snarled. "I would if I were you."
He was about to say more when he noticed Raccoonstar staring at him disapprovingly.

FALCONPAW

Falconpaw stammered for a moment, then realized that Swifteyes was giving him a challenge! Trying to make him give up on being a warrior! Hah! He'd never back down! "I won't back down from being the greatest warrior SnakeClan has ever seen! Not even if you give me a challenge!" he yelled proudly to Swifteyes.

RACCOONSTAR

Raccoonstar stared at Swifteyes. How dare he discourage a perfectly good apprentice! He then saw Falconpaw bouncing anyways, so he calmed down. Swifteyes should be punished, but that would make Raccoonstar seem more like Silentstar, which was not what he wanted. He'd let this one go.

Thunderheart

Thunderheart sat as he waited for Eveningpaw's answer. Moonfire spoke up, and he turned his head towards her. However, as she started to speak, he watched her jaw move underneath her pelt. The bone was cool to watch, as it moved up and down, back and forth, helping the pretty young deputy speak with her soft voice. Thunderheart then realized how pretty her jaw line was, how is was perfectly curved. And her ears... they stood tall and proud, flicking towards the sounds and cries of other woodland creatures.
Thunderheart was only half listening when Eveningpaw called his name, and when Hazelpaw let out a gasp. His mind had wandered from Moonfire's good looks to the future.
Thunderheart had seen the way Raccoonstar saw Moonfire. It was obvious, to Thunderheart at least, that Raccoonstar admired Moonfire as well. It made Thunderheart wonder why Moonfire was really chosen as deputy: because she was smart and strong, or because she was pretty? Thunderheart forced the though out of his head. Raccoonstar would not be that naive. If Thunderheart believed that he was, what good would that do?
But would Raccoonstar be better for Moonfire? Thunderheart didn't think so, not just because he liked Moonfire as well. A relationship between leader and deputy? There was too much room for error- they might not put the clan first, as they should. It would be too distracting.
However, Thunderheart thought of himself and Moonfire. There were a few things Thunderheart would have to give up- and kits was one of them. He honestly didn't know if he could do that- for a number of reasons. Also, what if Raccoonstar died and Moonfire became Moonstar? Would Thunderheart be able to see her as an equal?
And then, the bigger, more important question- was Thunderheart right for Moonfire? There were times when he didn't use his brain and he flirted too much. As apprentices, Moonpaw had thought of Thunderpaw as the devil!
Overall, it was Moonfire's choice to make, and not his. Thunderheart thought of another thing- were either Raccoonstar or Thunderheart right for Moonfire? Could she find better?
Thunderheart snapped back into the present. Hazelpaw had a poisoness adder hanging from her jaws, and her wide eyes were looking at Moonfire.
"Okay, I zoned out. What on earth is going on here?" he asked.


OOC: I feel sorta like a creeper, since Thunderheart is like closely watching Moonfire. Aha, scary!!!!! o.O

[- - -evening ||]

EVENINGPAW

Eveningpaw sighed impatiently, "never mind, Hazelpaw already told me! I asked what that tangy smell was, it was an adder! Did you see what I caught?" she meowed as she shoved the 4 fat mice into his face, "my first catch!" she meowed excitedly, forgetting her anger when he was ignoring her, "Well, did i do a good job?"

MOONFIRE

Moonfire sat down selfconsiouly, she could feel Thunderheart's gaze on her, and suddenly, she was rushed into the past.

Moonkit was waking up from her slumber. As she walked out of the nursery, something pounced on her, she let out a yowl, "Get off Thunderkit!" she meowed, "Stop it!"
Moonpaw was padding up to a juicy vole when- "Aghhh! Thunderpaw stop it! get off! I was just about to catch a really juicy vole!" "I'm just practicing!" he meowed mischievously, "I'm gonna be SnakeClan leader some day!" "In your dreams!" she meowed back. "Come on Moonpaw," a gentle voice was saying, "Thunderpaw's just playing!" Raccoonpaw meowed. "Okay," she meowed quietly.
Moonpaw was walking with Raccoontail and Thunderpaw, "I'll beat you to that tree over there!" Thunderpaw meowed. "Not if i can help it!" Moonpaw yowled as she raced to the tree, just as she was about to touch it, something pounced on her tail, pulling her down. Noooo! she was about to win! "Thunderpaw! Stop it!" They had a short scuffle, and then Raccoontail pulled them apart, he had won obviously.
Moonfire was in battle! They would not loose! Raccoonstar was battling like a Raccoon, He was going to be a good leader! She yowled as a cat jumped on her. She quickly threw him off and searched for another. She had battled a ton of cats so far and she was tired! Suddenly, a big white cat came out of nowhere and jumped on top of her! She couldn't get up! She saw Raccoonstar out of the corner of her eye, racing toward her. She could still see him running, when the weight was lifted, "That's my job!" Thunderheart meowed. As Thunderheart finished the fight he meowed, "the least you can do is thank me!" "I could have gotten him myself!!" Moonfire reported.
Moonfire closed her eyes as she let the cheers die away. She was deputy! She looked around for Thunderheart, she know he would be narrowing his eyes. Well, competition, i can deal with that! She quickly found Thunderheart and met his gaze, but it was not what she was expecting, she found warmth in his gaze. She was startled! Why would he be happy if she got deputy and he didn't? She found herself noddingat him.

Moonfire was rushed into the present, it was amazing how quickly they had changed over time, she sat dumbly gazing off, as Hazelpaw was going to do something absolutely awful

OCC: Kat and Raccoonstar, is it okay that i rped ur cats like that? Let meh know! Sunrise, is that what u wanted meh to say in the end?
THAT WAS LOOONG! XD

Hazelpaw

Hazelpaw watched her mentor, puzzled, as Moonfire's eyes glazed as if she was in deep thought. I wonder what she's thinking about, Hazelpaw mused. She had a slight suspicion it had something to do with Thunderheart. She licked her shoulder fur irritably. Both mentors seemed to be easily distracted today.

Hazelpaw quietly padded away from the training party. She wasn't about to let her day out of camp go to waste! As she went farther away from Moonfire, she picked up a foul stench. What is that! she thought, wrinkling her nose. As she crept closer, she made out a large, black-and-white creature. Hazelpaw's eyes widened as the massive beast turned to stare her straight in the eye, then charged at her, yellowing teeth bared.

"Help!" she yowled, frozen in horror.

OOC: Remember, this is a badger. It's impossible for only one cat to kill. Even with three cats it's difficult. Please don't powerplay.

In my world, there's no such thing as a peaceful walk through the woods. XP

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

Eveningpaw let out an irritated hiss, why was no one talking to her? Moonfire was now gazing starry-eyed into nowhere, and Thunderheart had another Mooney expression on his face, what was wrong with them?!
She sighed impatiently and walked away, what was the point of a mentor if they didn't do anything? As she was walking she heard a yowl, she glanced back at Moonfire and Thunderheart, but they hadn't moved.
I can do it myself, she thought.
She quickly followed the yowl into a clearing and saw Hazelpaw backed up against a vine, a badger, how in StarClan's name did she know that, charging toward her.
She quickly threw herself onto the badger to distract it. It turned around and nipped at her. She had no training what was she gonna do?
Suddenly, the Badger shook it's huge head and she flew through the air, bumping her head on something hard!
"Ouch!" Eveningpaw murmured before she passed out.

OCC: she was soooo much help! XD

[//Sunneh// is FuMiNg]

Hazelpaw

Hazelpaw watched in horror as her best friend bravely attacked the badger, most likely saving her life. She winced as Eveningpaw's head was dashed against a rock, knocking her unconcious. Hazelpaw dashed over to Eveningpaw, then turned to the badger, teeth bared.
"Get away from her!" she yowled. "If you take one more step...I'll rip your ears off!"
Her voice quavered slightly as she spoke. The badger was three times her size, and could probably kill her with one swipe of its gigantic claws, but Hazelpaw refused to back down. She'd rather die defending her friend than any other fate that could happen upon her. Hazelpaw closed her eyes, waiting for the blow that would end her life....

[- - -evening ||]

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

Urg! Her head hurt so much! Everything was black and white, it was really hazy! Some blob was heading straight toward her she closed her eyes and braced herself, when another blob threw itself in front of her, Huh? What's with all these blobs? She was certain it wasn't StarClan! She shook her head dazzlingly back and forth, and suddenly her senses came rushing back, they were in trouble!
She wobbly stood up and saw the badger coming at them at full speed, with Hazelpaw in front! No!! Her best friend would not get hurt while she was here!
"Hazelpaw!" she yowled, "dive to the side as fast as you can!" she didn't think Hazelpaw heard her, so she took the scruff of Hazelpaw's neck and dragged her off to the side for safety.
The badger crashed into a rock and turned around faster than she thought possible.
"Run Hazelpaw! Run! Follow me!" she quickly ran as fast as she could, "Common Hazelpaw, Common," she meowed as she looked back. As Hazelpaw quickly ran up next to her, she thought of the RockCave, she, Sunkit, and Duskpaw explored when they were little, there! That's were we'll go!

Hazelpaw

Hazelpaw was too shocked to move when Eveningpaw shouted out a warning. She felt Eveningpaw's fangs dig into her scruff as the apprentice tossed her out of the badger's reach. Ouch. Eveningpaw must of been desperate and scared to bite down that hard. Luckily the sharp bite shocked her out of her dazed state and she ran up to Eveningpaw.
"Where are we going?" she panted, keeping her eyes on the terrain before her; she didn't want to risk tripping over a root or vine.
Her question was answered as they arrived at a cave. She dived into the small opening after Eveningpaw, her tail narrowly missing the badgers snapping jaws. Hazelpaw slowed to a stop, then sat down, exhausted.

[- - -evening ||]

EVENINGPAW

Eveningpaw dived into the cave, exhasted and tired. She looked up at Hazelpaw and meowed, "Well, that was fun!"
It was kind of, except for the part of almost getting killed! She shook her head, "well, now that where here," she meowed, "and that badger's not going to go away, tell me a bit about badgers, what do they eat? and what were you doing over there?

[//Sunneh// is FuMiNg]

Hazelpaw

Hazelpaw grinned at Eveningpaw. "It was fun, wasn't it? Much funner than watching our mentors daydream."
She thought for a moment as Eveningpaw asked about badgers.
"They eat both meat and rabbit-food, and they're very aggresive." she shuddered. "They even can eat kits and apprentices."
She looked around, almost fearfully. "How long do we have to be in here?" she asked, her voice little more than a whisper.

[- - -evening ||]

EVENINPAW

"Not long...," she meowed, "just untill the badger goes away!" she thought for a momment, "Wanna sing?" she loved singing, but she didn't sing often because she was embaressed, only a few lucky cats usually heard her, including her littermates, her mother, her father, and now Hazelpaw.

[//Sunneh// is FuMiNg]

Hazelpaw

Hazelpaw blinked, surprised. Though SnakeClan was fond of song, few cats actually sung. She nodded. "Sure!" she saif eagerly.
Hazelpaw then sat down, curious.

OOC: Sorry, short post.

[- - -evening ||]

EVENINGPAW

She nodded her head and closed her eyes preparing to sing. The tune she chose was light, and as her voice carried through the Rock tunnel, it echoed gently against the wall. Her voice was full of warmth and happiness, and even twolegs, if they ever heard it, would think it was a muzsical mixure of sounds. She started out humming, and then her voice grew stronger still. She wasn't singing in words, and nor was she yowling.

This is kind of what she was saying:

Song of light,
Song of Darkness,
Fear no evil - still of night
Let the breeze sweep out our troubles,
make a joy of still tonight

It sounds like jibberish, but it had a whole meaning to it.
She stoped,"Hazelpaw, join me," she meowed quietly. And then she took up song again.

OCC: Yeah, i know, the words are cheezy!

[//Sunneh// is FuMiNg]

Hazelpaw

Hazelpaw listened, amazed, as Eveningpaw started singing. Eveningpaw's warm, young voice filled the cave, sending shivers of awe down Hazelpaw's spine. The song had a great meaning to it, something that her heart understood, yet her mind didn't. She jumped, startled, as Eveningpaw asked her to join in.
After a moment of hesitation, she stared singing, timidly at first, but then loud and strong, adding another part to the song:

Song of Joy
Song of Sorrow
Lingering darkness fades away
Warrior's wounds will heal tomorrow
StarClan will show the way

As the last verse died away, Hazelpaw turned towards the cave opening. The badger's scent had grown stale. They could leave now!

OOC: It may be cheezy, but it was much better than anything I could come up with! XD
