    The masculine slunk forward, the open spaces were something he was still getting used to as the tom was so familiar to the thick forestry of the tribe's habitat and Bloodclan's towering ally ways and darkened shadows in which allowed him to conceal such a massive vessel. He wasn't as big as his pelt put off really, he took the form of a towering Siamese cat with long legs as did his pelt coloring. The Siberian in him allowed the tom a bit more muscle than a Siamese and his fur was long, his tail to be particular was the classic Siberian's: massive. He was pretty handsome despite well, his missing leg. That certainly didn't add to his charm, it more or so just scared everyone away.


    Swiping a clumsy tongue over ivory whiskers and a slim muzzle, he glanced over one shoulder. "Here we are, lovelies," he mused bluntly, though an excited and giddy behavior gimmered to hit his cold, dead irises. How fun! He could meet a few more clan cats; and Riverclanners? Well, he'd never met a Riverclanner before. He met Skyclan during a raid in which he destroyed a few warriors. Amusing to say the least. Then, he visited Shadowclan with his best friend, Taboa. They provoked a few cats, turned out the whole thing was a misunderstanding, but he was still willing to sink his claws into em'.


    Reinforced claws coiled within the soil as his collar glimmered in the sun, the scent of Windclan moors, herbs, and monster stench from the city whisped off of him after his little visit to Bloodclan last night. Well, he always smelled like Bloodclan, he couldn't get the damned scent off his pelt so nobody would notice he visited. Blinking, he broke free of his thoughts before he began to mark the border.

    BUMBLEFOOT ○ ○ ○


    ooc | OOOO HE WENT TO BLOODCLAN :0 PLOTPLOYPLOT

    also im in riverclan and windclan whos the fool now >)

    also this post bcame jeremy kyle somehow lol


    ic| Bumblefoot kept subtly between Aloebites hulking form and that of his smaller daughter Paperpaw. He did trust Aloebite, more so that the tom seemed willing to help with his herb work. Still .... parenthood didnt comply with logic sometimes.


    His eyes drifted from Paperpaws small form to Zephyrbees larger one. Secretly he was hoping to Starclan that the tom couldnt see how hard he and Paperpaw were panting. It had been some time since they'd had their family exercise outings, having little energy for it.


    Walking besides the river border he startled when a flash of water spurted besides him, a familiar silver pelt propelling itself onto shore opposite them, a fish flailing in his maw.


    Bumblefoot was in shock at the state of his nephew, and saddened at how much he looked like Ferncurl. "Pebbledpaw?"


    PEBBLEDPAW ♢ ♢ ♢


    C'mon just a little closer ... he was bribing the skinny fish closer to him. The cold water was making his pelt shiver from the cold, the harsh winds of the border not helping at all.


    So focused had he been on hunting for what meager prey his clan could wrangle, he didnt notice the patrol until a hulking black cloud cast a reflection on the water. Except the cloud was missing a leg and had whiskers.


    Jumping out of the water he herd his name called across the river and startled looking over at the large patrol hed missed appearing. The water made his fur cling closer to his rapidly fading body and he shivered. "Bumblefoot?" He grew more surprised when his cousin Paperpaw stepped out behind him, fear and disgust in her eyes. "Papes? What -?" He casts his eyes around the cats in confusion. Howd they get here? Was his concentration slipping that badly?


    PAPERPAW ☆ ☆ ☆


    At the loud appearance of her cousin Pebbledpaw, she felt her breathing get even more laboured in anger. She wasnt old enough yet to understand her family situation but she just knew that Pebbledpaw had left Windclan. Before anyone can stop her, she leaps widly into the water with her tiny claws bared.


    "Traitor!" She hisses widly, her light limbs growing heavy in the water as the current tried to suck her down to the depth. Her anger turned to fear quickly.


    WOLFSBANE   Zephyrbee ?!


    Jasper eyes followed Aloebite, as he was leading the patrol. For some reason, he smelled even more like BloodClan than usual. It's just me, you're being stupid again. He told himself as they reached the RiverClan border. Things got hectic fast. Jasper eyes widened his eyes as the apprentice leapt into the water, yowling at the RiverClan apprentice who'd just appeared. "Paperpaw!" He yelped in shock. Jasper eyes could swim, a little, but not well. Still the apprentice was in trouble, and he couldn't very well let her drown. He leapt into the water after her, trying to remember the few swim lessons he'd had with his mother. His short coat didn't drag him down much, but swimming was more difficult than he'd remembered. He swam for Paperpaw, reaching forward to try and grasp her scruff.

    ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

    Though the scent of WindClan was pervasive enough, sweeping through the territory on the gentle breeze, floating into Doestar's nose as the stick-thin female wandered about the polished stones of the northern riverbank, stray grains of sand collecting between her toes, BloodClan's reek was what alarmed her. Had Jaspereyes decided to break the alliance? Suddenly swamped with indescribable feelings of sorrow and fear, all noise, even the shocked words of Pebbledpaw, but the sound of blood roaring in her ears faded, her legs trembling, claws still sheathed, accepting her fate. Oh StarClan oh StarClan oh StarClan she looked up.


    A WindClan patrol across the river. Her shoulders relaxed. Aloebite had left BloodClan; she had seen him at the gathering. As her amber eyes darted about the group of cats, still wide with fear, they caught a blur of motion as one of the apprentices tumbled into the rushing water, Jaspereyes leaping in after her. She stood there, paralyzed by confusion and surprise, for a few moments, before she could even move her limbs, staring at the cats thrashing in the river. The WindClan leader could swim well enough, but the apprentice would burden him. As the shock passed, she summoned the energy to lunge into the water after them. "I'll get her!" she shouted, attempting to grab Paperpaw's scruff herself.

    ooc | drama off the bat this is awesome >) poor doestar she thinks everything is against her ;w;


    PEBBLEDPAW ☆ ☆ ☆


    In a blur of motion, Pebbledpaw watched as Paperpaw leapt into the water followed by the two clans leaders. He felt a sudden burning embrassment stir in him. What a great way to re-meet distant family! It wasnt until the fury in her eyes faded and he connected the idea of Doestar (the same who had barely been able to talk in clan for the famine and her worry) using up her precious energy for his dumb young cousin.


    PAPERPAW ☆☆☆


    Water starts filling in around her nose and in terror she fights the currents dragging her down to the bottom. She yowls when Jaspereyes splashes in behind her, eyes wide and her small lungs struggling with the water pressure.


    Her scruff tugs sharply as Jaspereyes clasps it, but the momentum sends her swirling back down until Doestar yanks her back to the surface. Paperpaw can tell Doestar has a grip on her but her panic doesnt cease. She knows Riverclan are weak right now.


    Pebbledpaw yowls from the side, leaning out towards Doestar. "Toss her here Doestar!"


    She hears Bumblefoots worried yowling from the other side. "Oh Starclan! Please ... oh my .... please Doestar bring her here!"


    /snort sorry normal patrol starts soon at least they got a nice dip now :D

    (your choice who she throws to btw)



    Jaspereyes was relieved as the RiverClan leader came to their aid, releasing Paperpaw so DoeStar could get a better grip. He struggled to swim beside the WindClan apprentice, and help keep her afloat. He didn't care which side of the river they ended up on, so long as Paperpaw was ok.

    Twistedtail wasn't far behind the RiverClan leader, hearing yowling and picking up the scent of BloodClan. Her fur stood on end and she lashed her crooked tail as she approached the scene. WindClanners and RiverClanners splashing around wildly, and their respective leaders trying to help out. Turning to the rest of the WindClan patrol - the ones that hadn't lunged into the waters below like fleabrains - she spat, "What is the meaning of this?!"


    (twisted doesn't know what's going on so she's just anger)

    In an instant, Nightgaze was beside her leader, grabbing young Paperpaw's scruff in order to hold her up. What had made the young cat fling herself into the water? She had shown up late to the party, and had only witnessed the part where the WindClan apprentice started drowning in the strong current.


    The maine coon's large paws struck out at the water, keeping her afloat while she helped Doestar drag Paperpaw towards the shoreline. She could hear Pebbledpaw's muffled yelling, but over the roaring of the waves, she couldn't exactly make out what she was saying.

    ☄ ----~ It seemed, hanging back to sniff at a suspicious twoleg scent that was probobly a few days old anyway was more of a bad idea that he had first thought.

    Large ears picking up the sounds of hollering and splashing, Zephyrbee quickly bounded after his clan-mates, suddenly wishing he hadn't been so idiotic as to leave Paperpaw and Bumblefoot with that d*mn Bloodclanner. Because, of course, Zeph's first suspicion was that the noises had something to do with the former twoleg place cat.

    "What in Starclan's name happened?" Zephyrbee demanded as he came over to stand beside Bumblefoot, making sure the distressed father wasn't about to make things worse by jumping in after his daughter. Zephyrbee shot Aloebite a hard look, but seeing as the tom didn't appear to have done anything wrong, Zeph turned away and focused instead on the situation at hand.

    Tail lashing, he could do nothing but watch as the two riverclan high positions fought to help Jasperstar and Paperpaw to shore. This was supposed to be a simple border patrol!

    // ok drama over ;w; sorry about that


    PAPERPAW ☆ ☆ ☆


    Dragged on shore by Nightgaze Paperpaw splutters water onto the Riverclan side of the border. She spits water out and hopes Jaspereyes and Doestar get back onto shore. Her vision is spotty and shes soaked through but otherwise she is fine.

    BUMBLEFOOT ○ ○ ○


    Shocked he draws comfort from Zephyrbee being near. He had no idea what had just happened except she could be hurt. She was on shore but the leaders weren't. "Get them out!" he says to no one in particular. He was too small and shook up to do anything.




    info

    //lol it was fun XD


    Jasper eyes managed to struggle onto shore, unfortunately on RiverClan's side. He felt a bit uncomfortable here, but at least he wasn't stuck in unfriendly territory. He glanced at Paperpaw to make sure she was ok, before looking back to the river for Doestar. If she needed any, he would be glad to help her from the water. Bumble foot was still freaking out, but Jaspereyes hoped he'd be able to calm down once everyone was out of the water.

    It was times like this that Rabbit hated her inability to swim, as she watched Paperpaw flail around in the river. When several Riverclan cats helped to save her, the orange bobtail let out a sigh of relief. At least nobody was hurt. Even Jaspereyes had come to try and rescue the apprentice, swimming surprisingly well.


    Seeing Paperpaw- and Jaspereyes- across the river did make her heart seem to jump out of her chest. Riverclan wouldn't hurt them... right? Still, she was anxious to be re-united with her clanmates, and so she looked around for a place to cross the river safely.

    Bumble was losing his freakin' mind right now.


    His leader and daughter were on the other side of their border. That they had been patrolling and Pebbledpaw had been hunting in. Was he supposed to hunt here? His thoughts were everywhere, worriedly getting tense to try and leap across the river, but that could wait until Doestar got out of the water. She was a natural born swimmer, but weak.


    Lost and frightened, he caught Rabbits' gaze and fumbled over his words. "I- uh dropped a leaf of herbs back there. Can - you get them? It'll help them." Please don't lose lives over this. A thought struck him that Paperpaw only had one life and was basically a kit herself. Would they keep her prisoner?


    Probably none of that would happen but it didn't stop his mind whirring. "Jaspereyes - you ok?"

    Nightgaze finally hauled Paperpaw onto the rocky shore, releasing the young WindClanner's scruff and allowing her to stand on stable ground. Although the apprentice appeared to be a bit shaken up and soaked, she didn't see any visible injuries. "You okay?" she asked after Paperpaw had caught her breath. Honestly, Nightgaze still had no idea why she had flung herself into the water like that. Although she had missed the beginning of the scene, she still couldn't really think of a logical excuse. Maybe she was just being impulsive.

    PAPERPAW ☆ ☆ ☆


    ooc / sorry for confusion! she got mad at pebbledpaw/riverclanner and tried to fight him but fell in instead lol x)


    ic / Spluttering, Paperpaw comes to and finds herself separated from her clan with Jaspereyes. A question brushes past her and she looks up in shock at Nightgaze, crouching close to the ground. The dark deputy was towering over her. She'd only seen Nightgaze at Fourtrees once and never expected to be this close. "Y-yea. I'm f-fine." She said, shuddering both in fear and from the cold water.


    It was all too close, and her anger at Pebbledpaw had fizzled out the moment she was on the Riverclan side of the border. Paperpaw was yearning to get warm, but the only warm cat on this side was Nightgaze. Silently, she tried to control her shudders and stared at Doestar in the water trying to not look Nightgaze in the eyes.


    Her gaze was pretty dang intense.



    info

    Jasper eyes desperately wished he could teleport, so he could be on the other side of the river and comfort Bumblefoot. "Yeah, I'm fine." He called, managing to keep his voice steady. RabbitFlight had caught up to them, and Jaspereyes found himself feeling glad that she hadn't taken a tumble into the water. Not that I wanted Paperpaw in the river either. He thought.

    //oh don't worry it was all ic opinions!


    It was evident that Paperpaw was still in shock, and maybe even a bit fearful. The apprentice was shaking and spluttering out water as she spoke, and looking at Nightgaze with wide, frightened eyes. Had she accidentally scared the young cat? She really hadn't meant to. Damnit, this is the second time. She would never forget the look in that DarkClan apprentice's eyes when he had spotted her at the gathering. She didn't know what it was; maybe she just came off as intimidating, even though she really didn't try to. Maybe she needed to work on that.


    Onto bigger problems. Paperpaw was currently on the wrong side of the river, which meant that somehow, she would have to cross back over to get home. "We'll get you back over," she would say in a calm voice, hopefully reassuring the younger cat even the tiniest bit. "Er....without swimming, obviously." She really didn't think Paperpaw was up for getting wet again, especially after that traumatic experience. "There are stepping stones further downstream. They're a bit slippery, but we can cross that way, if you'd like."

    ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

    Doestar allowed Nightgaze to drag the spluttering Paperpaw the rest of the way to shore, crawling out herself only when the apprentice was far away from the water, wide, honey-colored eyes darting across her pelt and limbs with concern, noting the shivering. Though she had pulled many an inexperienced cat from their river, the experience was always quite nerve-wracking. As she dragged her soaking frame from the current, the weariness that had been put off while assisting Paperpaw finally crashed upon her, causing her to tremble slightly at the ankles. No matter. There was a shocked and cold apprentice and leader, both unable to swim, stuck on the RiverClan bank. She lifted her head to look at them, receiving Nightgaze's suggestion with relief. "Did either of you breathe in or swallow any water?" her voice carried the weight of a dead leaf on the breeze, shaking as much as the rest of her body.

    Jaspereyes brushed his tail against the RiverClan leaders flank, hoping to calm her. "No, I think I'm ok. Paper paw?" He asked, turning to the apprentice with a concerned expression. She seemed ok, hopefully the both of them would be able to take the stepping stones to get back, as NightGaze had suggested. That one swim hadn't been easy, and he was a lot more tired than he should be. It's been too long since I even tried to swim.

    ooc / oooh right! wasnt sure, thanks for clarrifying! :)


    PAPERPAW ☆ ☆ ☆


    She felt, irrationally, like she was being interrogated by the Riverclanners. She found solace in Jaspereyes presence, though she kept her distance from his dripping wet pelt. "Y-yeah, just fine. Uhm." Looking sheepish, she ducked her head to Doestar who had dragged herself out of the water. "T-thanks Doestar. That was pretty cool, what you did trying to save my life and all. I guess." Warming up slightly, Paperpaw found a bit of her spark left and tried to make it seem as if it had all been planned from the beginning. "Totally could have swum myself to the other side though. Just decided to have a dip."


    Her large statement was overtaken by a hilarious shudder, making her fur shake out like a dogs'. She felt her heart sink as they mentioned walking to steps. Nearly drowing and now walking back over the liquid she almost died in? She was never going on patrol again. "Yeah that's sounds fine. Can you lead us to them?" A dumb idea sparked in her head. "Or the rest of our patrol could come over here."
