Duskfall watches, surprised. She hesitates, before diving in after, touching the bottom then surfacing. She could swim, but not as well as Nightstorm. She lazily floated along the top of the water, enjoying the feeling of the coolness in her fur.

"I love it." Duskfall purrs, looking up at the clear skies."It's a nice day to take a dip, too." She comments, turning to slip under the water.

Duskfall surfaces, her grey had bobbing along with the current."I just hate the heat." She looks under the water at her paws, then dives down after a fish.

Sunrise pads out of his den, the old medicine cat ready to go looking for herbs. Not seeing any apprentices around, he pads over to Hazelfoot."Hey, you! Come with me." He says shortly, before turning and padding toward the camp entrance.

[color=red]Duskfall surfaces, placing the fourth fish on the bank, waving her tail in greeting to Duckwhisker, before slipping back under. She was enjoying the feeling of the water in her short fur.

Sunrise looked at her, flicking his tail."You're going to help this old medicine cat collect herbs." He says, veering off of the main path, toward a patch of juniper berries.

Duskfall pulls herself onto the bank."We have our four pieces of prey!" She calls to Nightstorm, sitting beside the growing pile of fish, curling her wet tail around her paws. She watched the two play around in the water. She hurriedly padded up to the water as Nightstorm surfaces with flailing paws. She reaches out and grabs the warrior's scruff with her teeth, and hauls her to shore.

Sunrise lets out a small, raspy purr as he looked around. The warm sun felt great on his thick, orange and cream colored fur. He picks off a bundle of berries, then picked a big leaf from a nearby tree. He placed the bundle in the leaf and wrapped it up expertly. He picked it up in his mouth."I'm also looking for yarrow. It had a thin and prickly leave." He explains to the warrior, before padding onward. He couldn't remember where the patch was.

Duskfall couldn't help but purr with laughter at the she-cat."It was nothing, all in a day's work, of course!" She puffs out her chest proudly, trying to be serious, but burst into a fit of laughter.

[i]"It's used as a traveling herb, so it's very important!" Sunrise says, curling his tail. Finally spotting the plant, he sits the berries down and starts pulling off the dark colored leaves."I'm looking for one more herb. Comfrey. It has a pink, bulb like flower. The roots are used for mending bones and to help heal wounds." He bundles up the leaves and passes them to her, for her to carry.

Duskfall shakes out her fur, purring in delight. She watches Duckwhisker dive under."He is a good warrior, isn't he?" She comments sheepishly, laying out in the sun.

Skypounce shakes out his pelt, looking into her eyes for a few long moments before tearing his away. He picks up the mouse by it's tail."We totally need to look for more prey!" He mumbles around the tail, before picking a spot under a bush and burying it, making a mental note to come back for it later.

Skypounce let out a purr."And clever, too." He thought to himself. He leaned close to her, so tempted to lick her cheek. He stopped himself, turning and starting back on the trail."Sure thing. I can climb up the trees and hunt up there." He looked at the nearest tree, and took a running jump up the trunk, quickly making his way out of sight, into the branches."She's just a friend. She wouldn't like a cat like you anyway." He thinks sadly, stalking out on a branch above Willowbee's head."You wanna come up?"

"Yeah. I do." Duskfall shakes her head."I don't think he knows, though." She says, standing to her paws. She picked up some of the prey."I'll go on ahead and take this prey back. I'm sure Eaglestar is wondering where I am." She turns and hurriedly pads away, two large fish stuffed in her jaws.

Duskfall caught the stench in her nose way before she even got close. She also caught the scent of Oakfur and Eaglestar. Foxes! She dropped the fish and rushed off, following the smell of her fellow clanmates. She skidded to a stop beside Eaglestar, claws out, ready to fight."W-where are they?" Her eyes flicked around wildly. Her mother had almost been killed by a fox. She knew how deadly they could be. Her heart thudded hard in her chest, and fear stench trailed strongly off of her fur in swaths. She was terrified, but would face anything for her clan.

Dawnrise paces near the camp entrance, waiting. She had spread the news of her adventure around the territory to a lot of cats around camp, and she was eager to get started. The young warrior sat down, curling her short tail around her body, starting to groom herself as she waited.

Skypounce couldn't help it. He twinned his tail with hers, looking at her out of the corner of his eye. He then looked up at the sky, watching the clouds go by. He didn't know what to say, but he couldn't get the thoughts out of his head. He really liked her. He had always liked her, since they were apprentices. And he had noticed the change in her behavior lately. He hoped she liked him back. he didn't know what to do in this situation. He had never been very good at these kind of things.

Sunrise stopped dead, the smell hitting his nose."Oh Starclan, no.." The scars on his back and stomach stung at the thought of having to unsheathe his claws. He looked at the young warrior."I smell foxes. I need to get back to camp!" He yowls, taking off as fast as his paws will take him, hoping the warrior would have enough sense to follow him. He needed to get back to camp, help protect and take care of the injured.

Duskfall calmed herself down, looking around more calmly."What can I do, Eaglestar?" This would be her first battle as a warrior, and she wasn't afraid.

Sunrise clawed his was up into camp, only scenting Tawnypelt here. Knowing she would be safe up in the trees, he hurried to his den, gathering up herbs and cobwebs to treat injuries. He quickly transported them down to the base of the tree, hackles raised, ready to fight if any fox got close.

Duskfall, hackles raised, stood beside Duckwhisker, waiting for orders. She looked up at the tom, and shy'ed away, going to stand beside her leader.
