    text - "speech" - thoughts


    [justify]Well, Beetlestar had heard a little news earlier that a special someone was expecting kits. He had always been very protective over Sparrowtail. After all, he had lost her twice. He would not allow that to happen a third time. But this was a bad time for his mate to have kits. Camp was still a wreck, and the only den to have survived was his own. He didn't want her to continue spending her nights out in the open.


    The tomcat had gathered many thick branches - most with leaves still on them - and had piled them up near the spot where the nursery had one been. He had never had to build anything, and he wasn't sure how well it would work out. But something was better than nothing. As long as she was out of harm's way, he was happy.


    Immediately, he struggled. Beetlestar was trying to make a triangular-prism-type-shape, but he didn't know how to stack the twigs upwards. He placed one, and it fell off. His lack of experience was really starting to show, and it frustrated him. So far, he had the three largest ones placed in a triangle. Maybe he wasn't building this right. He just thought that it would be smart to make it the way twolegs did. This wasn't going as smoothly as he had thought it would. But he was too embarrassed to ask for help. He was the clan leader! He didn't need help.

    The kit was still very new to the clan and didn't even know where she was suppose to be sleeping, since the camp was big to her and everyone seemed to still be getting over something. Though, she wasn't sure what that something was. Brightkit saw, what she thought to be the leader, struggling building some kind of home. She wasn't sure what it was but it looked like it was hard to build. "Hey there! What are ya doing?"

  • [align=center][fancypost bgcolor=; border:0px; width: 450px; font-size: 8pt;text-align:justify; color: white; margin-top: -6px][hr]Hawkkit wandered over on white-tipped paws, craning his neck at the scene. He didn't know what a nursery was, or that he was supposed to sleep there, or even that the cat right in front of him was CloverClan's leader.


    "That looks like fun... kind of." He blurted out, ocean blue eyes glued to the male.

  • "Need a paw?" asked Sulfuriceyes. He seemed...different. He stretched out his muscles before trying to get to work, a lazy smile pressed firmly to his dark lips.



  • [fancypost borderwidth=0px][justify][font=georgia]"I ... help." The apprentice struggled to work out of her mouth, walking forward to the nursery. She didn't smile, but she didn't frown ... there was a clear sign of pain within her eyes. She hated talking. Coldpaw felt absolutely idiotic when she did, she much rather preferred to just stay quiet and never say a word again, but she knew that would be impossible. StarClan, help her with another way to fix herself.


    Back to the situation at hand, the apprentice would glance over the sticks that Beetlestar had collected. Sadness hit her as she surveyed where the nursery had once stood. It was where she'd spent most of her life so far, and she missed the comfort of laying in a nest with her mother beside her. She missed her mother.

She skipped over to the fresh-kill pile and placed it on top.
    Kakima's eyes then landed on the others. They seemed to be building a den of some sorts.
    Skipping over to them, she barked, "This looks pretty cool! Mind if I help with the construction?"

  • [fancypost borderwidth=0; text-align: justify; line-height: 15px][color=#e1e1e1]"I'll help out," Russetflame voiced quietly. He didn't have a family of his own, not yet anyways, but perhaps it was better he concentrated on his tasks as deputy for now. Perhaps one day he'd have a family, but for now it was his duty to protect others.

    He glanced over at Beetlestar's construction project. Okay, well if Beetle had Sulfuric and Coldpaw to help, then he could use the other two. "[color=green]Hey Kakima and Russetflame! Will you guys help me to find some fresh moss for this nursery?

  • [fancypost borderwidth=0; width: 500px; text-align: justify;]Honestly, Sparrowtail was sleeping most of the time. She hated it with a deep, burning passion, but she just found herself to be terribly sleepy. She was laying on her side near the leaders den when her leafy eyes opened, and she immediately noticed most of her Clanmates doing construction on the nursery. "Great StarClan." The torbie whispered to herself, and she heaved herself to he paws slowly, and she then began to make her way over. She eyeballed Beetlestar's work, eyes widening slightly. "Now you're all going t' make me stay in this place." Sparrowtail announced her arrival. Yeah, she was not looking forward to the nursery whatsoever. She noticed Beetlestar looking frustrated, and she purred in amusement. "All of you had better help him out a lot. Beetlestar can't build anything!" Sparrowtail stated. If he worked himself too hard, all his thick, luscious fur would fall out. He would probably look like a naked mole rat after that happened. Poor Beetlestar. She noticed Coldpaw, and she frowned slightly. Most of her family was gone. She recalled Egretfang and how close she had always been to Coldpaw. It must be hard on her.

Kakima barked, turning to Oliver. "Where's the best place to find moss?" She didn't really like to sleep on moss, so she wasn't sure where to find it.

  • [fancypost borderwidth=0px;][justify]Beetlestar looked down at the kits, a faint smile appearing on his face. "Before you two joined, there was a den right here, for kits like yourself. I'm trying to rebuild it, so you guys'll have a place to sleep." He took it that the two assumed everyone slept out in the open. After all, the warriors and apprentices always spent their nights that way.


    The sight of Coldpaw made his smile fall back down. He couldn't remember the last time she had actually been happy. Egretfang's loss had really taken a toll on the poor girl. Beetlestar didn't know how he would be able to tell her what to do, as he didn't know how well she could read lips. But he would hate himself if he told her no.


    "Sulfuric, do you know any shapes I could use? I don't think this is gonna work. Plus, I don't know how to make an opening." As Sparrowtail arrived, he laughed, a little embarrassed. "I bet I can. You're no better than me at this."

    Wow! Their own den! Brightkit's smile widen as she looked around, wondering how she could help. She was too tiny to help build but she was sure that there was something else she could do. "Beetlestar, can I gather moss to make the nest in the den once it's done?" she asked.

  • [justify]"Do you need anyone else to help out?" Marigoldear asked as she padded over, willing to give a paw wherever she could. She didn't want to see the little ones of the clan and their mothers with nowhere to sleep and so would be willing to give some of her spare hours up to join in on the rebuilding of the nursery. She herself might need the nursery someday. Or she hoped at least. Marigoldear would love to have kits of her own.[/justify]

  • "Try an arch like this." he hummed casually. His jaws found a stick and in bent it slowly trying to get it onto a knothole in the ground. The arch needed to be big enough for any of the members. Sulfuriceyes glanced at Marigoldear and glanced at the ground while making a motion with his paw. He wanted the feline to help get the stick's end firmly placed.

    toughpaw approached the scene slowly, watching as everyone pitched in to help build a - what was it, nursery? there was one of those in her kitten home, maybe. but it was for the human child, not a bunch of little creature children. still, the idea was interesting, and everyone helping out was touching.


    the fem walked over, halting near sparrowtail. she corralled her son between her paws, letting him totter there for a bit while she watched everyone build a den.
    [hr][align=center]

  • [fancypost borderwidth=0px;][justify]Hearing Brightkit's voice, he looked back down at her. He still felt pretty bad about getting mad at her when she was out of camp, but to be fair, she was acting pretty weird. Like a kit with the mind of a warrior. It was really weird, the way she sometimes spoke, using long words. Definitely not the kind of thing he used to say. "Only if you go with an apprentice or warrior. I'm sure there's more than enough moss," he cheerfully responded, looking back to Sulfuriceyes.


    Beetlestar was naturally pretty confused. Sulfuriceyes seemed to have plenty of experience, or, at least he had more experience than he did. As Marigoldear helped out the maned wolf, he took one of his branches and began to do the same. The fluffy tom began to bend the branch and quickly shoved one end of it into the ground. He didn't know if it was going to "unbend" or something, and really didn't want to make a complete fool of himself in front of the whole clan. Especially with Sparrowtail watching. She'd probably tease him for moons on end.


    He held the branch there, unsure what to do. It was uncomfortable, to stay in this position for so long, but he hoped someone would guide him. Beetlestar just didn't want to flat-out ask what was next.

To an extent, Kakima felt bad for the younger members of CloverClan. They couldn't leave camp, which must be tough considering that there wasn't much to do in camp.
    "I'll take her," she offered, smiling at the kitten.
    Kakima always tried her every best to befriend everyone she met. Somehow, however she hadn't spoke to Brightkit... ever. That seriously bugged the wild dog. By taking Brightkit with her, he was helping both of them out.
