Scarletclan: a Clan Built on Blood and War --RP--

Mistbird's white ears twitched as he hummed to himself, clearing out old herbs from the herb storage within the medicine cat den. The small medicine cat always seemed to dutifully wake up hours before dawn and check for the storage to see if there was enough herbs for any sort of emergency. He thought, So... low on comfrey, horsetail and juniper berries... His black nose twitched as he leaned his head down, sniffing about to check briefly through the collection of herbs, Ah, also catmint... I could've sworn I had more... Shaking his head, he straightened up, picking up the old, shriveled herbs and went to discard them. He padded out of the medicine cat den, seeing that the rest of his clanmates were out and about. He glanced over to Fallenstar and dipped his head respectfully towards the black tom in a quiet greeting then he promptly strode out of the camp to bury the useless herbs and to collect some new ones.

Sharpswoop's yellow eyes opened slowly at the sunlight, since snoozing too long within the warrior's den, the large dark gray tom thought, I usually never sleep this long... oh well. Standing up, he glanced over to see the pale tortoiseshell-and-white shape of Larkfur, he prodded the she-cat saying in a gentle tone, "Larkfur," The pale she-cat's eyes opened slowly, mumbling, "The sun is out already?" She gaped her mouth open in a yawn as she mumbled, "Great, just when I was enjoying a good dream too." Sharpswoop chuckled, "Yes, well get up before some cats start looking for you." With that the large dark gray warrior padded out into the camp, gingerly stretching each limb as he thought, Dirtpaw must still be sleeping. He glanced over towards the apprentice den, seeing as Distantpaw and Sakurapaw was awake, the was no sight of the dark brown apprentice. His ear twitched as he thought, Yes, definantly sleeping still. Moving off towards the direction of the apprentice den he tried to gather up as much patience as he could before he would wake up Dirtpaw.

Larkfur watched as Sharpswoop headed over towards the apprentice den. Her ears flicked back as she noticed how slow the dark gray warrior was moving, He's getting old. Now that I think about it, he was a warrior when I was first apprenticed... no doubt that he'll retire in a few moons. Her pale blue eyes briefly brigtened with amusement, But knowing Sharpswoop he would probably refuse to retire. Her ear twitched as she looked over her shoulder seeing the lean shape of Wildrain, the tom's eyes looked still somewhat sleepy but that feral look could never be extinguished. She flicked her tail in greeting but the dark brown cat fixed her with a cold glare then turned and walked off towards Fallenstar, no doubt asking for a new duty for the day. She couldn't help but feel uneasy whenever the feral warrior was walking about.

Dirtpaw's eyes opened slowly as he heard the sound of his mentor's mew from outside the apprentice den. He flattened his ears and narrowed his eyes as his claws sank into the nest. He didn't want to move quite yet. But then again if he didn't move he'll get in trouble with Sharpswoop, and truthfully he felt nervous around the large cat. Ear twitching,, he slowly rose to his paws, sheathing his claws then padded out of the den, gazing at his mentor saying in his usual annoyed tone, "What?" Sharpswoop fixed Dirtpaw with a stern look from serious yellow eyes, "Dirtpaw, please I don't want any attitude from you today, got it?" Dirtpaw opened his mouth to give a sharp retort then thought about it and closed his mouth, reluctantly nodding his head.

Sharpswoop's broad head turned to face Fallenstar, the dark gray tom nodded his head, "Of course." He gaze a slight warning glance towards Dirtpaw who simply looked away in distaste. His ears twitched back as he thought, Should've known, he won't say anything but he will act like this.. The dark gray cat's tail twitched as he said, "Come on Dirtpaw." The large tom made his way over to Ambersong, briefly checking to see if Dirtpaw was behind him and thankfully the brown tabby apprentice was following, though rather slowly as if purposefully drawing out time.

Larkfur's pale eyes briefly watched as Sharpswoop was attempting to put at least some discipline in Dirtpaw. Her ears twitched slightly, noticing Dirtpaw's attitude as usual, being irritable and rude. She shook her head slightly, though noticed that Fallenstar was setting out some patrols, the pale she-cat stood up and padded over towards the leader; saying in a respectful voice, "Fallenstar, may I go on a patrol as well?"

Wildrain watched the others with narrowed yellow eyes, he briefly swiped his tongue over his pelt a fur times then turned and padded outside of the camp. The dark brown warrior's paws silently moved against the ground as he padded through the forest, gazing up at the sound of birds in the trees, attempting to pinpoint which tree he should climb up first.

Mistbird had reached a small clearing near some fern bushes and was digging a hole. The pale silver tom then dropped the old herbs into the fresh hole and then promptly covered it up once more. He then padded off following some scent of herbs that he may find, since he did memorize some places where the herbs were buried.

Wildrain had tensed his muscles, about to propell himself up the tree he had chosen then he stopped and looked over his shoulder upon hearing his name. Spotting the apprentice, Sakurapaw he narrowed his eyes at her then turned and disappeared behind some bushes without even bothering to answer.

Sharpswoop followed after Ambersong, relaxing as he got out into the forest. It was always peaceful in the forest so he particularly liked being on patrols. He glanced over his shoulder, seeing Dirtpaw trudging along behind him with an annoyed look on his face, muttering under his breath about how he could've been sleeping right now. Narrowing his eyes, that dark gray warrior sweeped his tail over his apprentice's muzzle, a clear sign that he had heard that. Dirtpaw stopped in his tracks and glared after the large tom, the fur along his back bristling though he forced himself to relax and shook his head, continuing after Sharpswoop and Ambersong though he loathed his patrol even more.

Mistbird muttered as he moved forward through the forest, "Comfrey... ah, here they are." She pale silver tom crouched down near some fresh comfrey was growing, seemingly pleased with the amount of comfrey he picked only a little bit, going off to find some horsetail next.

Larkfur dipped her head and padded off out of the camp, though she had picked up a few of her other clanmate's scents, she went in another direction, checking for any scent of possible prey or intruders. Her ear twitched as a fly momentarily buzzed by, she looked around herself, scanning for any unfamiliar shapes.

Dirtpaw scowled in response and turned his head away with an annoyed snort, "Whatever." His tail lashed as he padded along the river said saying in an annoyed voice, "Let's just get this over with." Sharpswoop stared after his apprentice with a disapproving expression on his face. But, by now he was quite used to the apprentice's irritable behavoir so he followed after to keep on eye on him so he wouldn't get in trouble.

Mistbird's ears perked as he looked over his shoulder towards Jettail, saying through the mouthful of herbs he had in his mouth, "Oh, hello Jettail." He placed the comfrey on the ground continuing, "I'm just restocking on herbs." His tail twitched as he glanced around briefly to see if there was anymore herbs within the area, seeing as there was none he focused his attention back on Jettail.

Wildrain gazed up through some brambles as he attempted to catch any sight of prey, his ears perked as he heard movement. Unsheathing his claws, he tensed up about to spring when he saw Larkfur. He blinked then sheathed his claws and silently padded out of the bushes. Larkfur turned her attention towards the dark brown warrior, slightly surprised that he was there, then she said, "Hi Wildrain." The dark warrior stared at her for a few miliseconds then turned his head away with a slight growl of annoyance and raced off further into the forest. Larkfur's ears flattened as she thought, Did I do something wrong? Shaking her head she continued her way through the forest, ears perking slightly when she heard rustling. Crouching down, she tensed, her gaze focused on the rustling as a small shape of a mouse scuttled out of the protection of the bushes, leaping forward, her claws sank into the small prey before it could even run.

Larkfur looked up, her pale tail flicking in greeting to Ambersong. Placing the mouse down on the ground, she smiled slightly in response, "Hi Ambersong," She paused as she looked past the amber-pelted she-cat, seeing as. Sharpswoop and Dirtpaw had just came walking back, "On a border patrol?"

Wildrain's yellow gaze scanned his surroundings as he slinked through the undergrowth, tail twitching as he sniffed round for any possible scents of prey. Finding none in the current area he was in, he decided to back track and continue from another spot.

Mistbird smiled, "Thank you, I really appreciate the help." The small tom picked up the herbs he had at his paws and twitched his tail for Jettail to follow then padded into the nearby bushes, following an earlier scent.

Halo puffed with exhaustion, her flank heaving, blood welling from a gash in her flank. She pressed herself against the tree, hearing pawsteps thudding around in front of her.I am so dead

Halo groaned. Her wound stung unlike anything and black spots were appearing.
