"Power is misused." AshClan role playing thread "We are reborn stronger."

Cinderstar padded over to the cats that were expanding the den. "Leafeye was up all night guarding the medicine den so I will be instructing today's work," he announced to the group of cats, "Stormflight. Fallenwind. Take Flamepaw and gather resources. We are expanding the inside to have a clear division between the section for the herbs and the nests. This means collect moss for bedding and any strong sturdy branches." He then made his way towards the medicine den flicking his tail for the others to follow, "we, unfortunately have the laborious task of digging further into the den," he sighed unsheathing his claws.

ooc: Koi, the rpers of the other three cats are semi inactive apart from Tiny so you have my permission for us to leave and we'll tell Tiny Smallpaw is with us. :)

Smokepaw lowered his head and ate the herbs Spottedgorse had set out for him. The bitter taste made him wince but from what he heard of the trip he was going to need it. Smokepaw looked up from his herbs and saw Spottedgorse, "don't worry," he purred to her, "I will protect you!" From the corner of his eye he saw Mistyriver and his charming smile was replaced with a grimace.

Rainpaw finally woke up. She began to groom her fur and in her half asleep state subconsciously move onto grooming Molepaw's. With her eyes close she began to purr, "no worries Baby, I'll take care of you!" As creepy as it was she was practically unaware of her actions.

Cinderstar padded into the den to see Hunterpaw sitting there waiting forStreampaw to wake up. "Morning Sir," he greeted Cinderstar as his eyes darted to Spiderpaw. He got to his paws and walked closer, "you must want some help with the den since Shadowpaw isn't here yet." Taking his place next to Spiderpaw he began to help dig out the den, "so Prettypaws," he called her, "it's a shame they've got you doing this." He looked closer at her face and notice she was uneasy, "is everything okay?" Hunterpaw asked.

Cinderstar examined Streampaw noticing she was perfectly fine apart from the injures. His ears twitched uneasily and then he focused on the build up of dirt in the den. "Where is Shadowpaw..." he grumbled to himself and he picked up a branched and used it to drag out all the dirt from the den.

Smokepaw followed on after Spottedgorse. He trailed at the back of the group untilhe smelt an unfamiliar scent . He raced through the others to the front and began hissed out at the shrubs, "come out or Starclan forgive me I will give them a new resident today!"

Out of the shrub a large tom appeared, with a charming smile on his face he glared down at Smokepaw. "Now why would I want to go there?" he asked as his eyes met Spottedgorse, "when there is a beautiful she-cat right here?" he purred making his way to her.

ooc: this is Fang :) he is a rogue, who tells them he is a member of Creekclan.

"The names ermm," he glanced round for anything and then lied, "names Bravenight of Creekclan. I thought I smelt cats walking through here and thought you could use an escort?"

ooc: I now like the name Bravenight a lot and actually wished his name was that and not Fang XD

Fang dipped his head to her, "in all due respect you are somewhat in our territory now, I thought it would only be fair if I showed you the way. Y'know I could explain to anyone your reason for passing through" he continued to lie as he quickened his pace to stay by Spottedgorse's side. "I will respect you can't tell me why you're going so how about we talk about something else?" he suggested, "why don't you tell me about yourself? I've never seen a beautiful she-cat such as yourself, were you born in the forests?"

Fang laughed lightly, "Ashclan you say? I don't remember them being known for smart, confident and beautiful she-cats such as yourself," he purred quietly to her hoping Tawnyears wouldn't hear and be offended. They continued to make their way towards the mountain.

Smokepaw grumbled quietly to himself as he watched Fang "protect" Spottedgorse. He glanced over to Smallpaw and then gave him a look which translated to this guy! Am I right? The apprentice knew that if he could get Smallpaw believing Fang was a threat he could get away with assassinating Mistyriver without being suspected. Smokepaw despised the senior warrior to the point he had justified killing him was a perfect solution to deal with existence.

Rainpaw stopped grooming Molepaw mid-lick. Her eyes shot open and they only conveyed fright of the fact she was acting out her thoughts. "Molepaw..." she meowed as she shuffled away from him, "I-I didn't mean too. Like, ermm I was thinking of you... No wait! I don't know" she stuttered. Overcome with embarrassment the she-cat got to her paws and bolted out the apprentice den.

Hunterpaw noticed the smile on Spiderpaw's face and his eyes lit up, "you should be smiling more often!" he purred at her as he leaned in to look at her face closer. He was a bit unaware whenit came to personal space but never really mean to cause harm, "whatever made you upset should be forgotten about. It is making you frown and well, you look gorgeous when you smile," he complimented with afriendly smile before turning himself back to working.

It had been a while now and they had done a lot of work, "take a break!" Cinderstar called to the other cats as they left the medicine den. "I think we've done enough today, after the break we'll put up some branches for support and then continue tomorrow."
