Tigerstripe: *smiles softly as i nod* thank you *i then look over at snowball and gives her a friendly nod*

Snowball: *dips my head to rowanstar* thank you so much *i then glance around, remembering that grey and white tom* where's that other cat? boulder something i believe his name was? *remembers the friendly old tom and how he let me stay the first time*

Tigerstripe: *i then look over at rowanstar, all of us suddenly being reminded of what happened*

Ghoststep: *lowers my voice to snowball* boulderstar, and i'm afraid he's left us and rowanstar is the new leader of this clan

Snowball: oh no, i'm so sorry, how did he-- *i don't get to finish when tigerstripe speaks up*

Tigerstripe: *i try to gently lure her away from the topic* hey, why don't you grab something to eat from the prey pile? you must be hungry after your long journey. once you get settled in, we can start training you tomorrow

Snowball: thank you, but i actually caught something on the way here and if it's alright, i wouldn't mind getting started right now

Ghoststep: tigerstripe's right though. maybe just give yourself a day to rest-- *that's when she gives me a look and pipes down*

Snowball: i'm not a kit anymore ghoststep and you need to let that go eventually *i then fluff up my fur to make myself look bigger* i'm a lot stronger than you think i am *looks over at tigerstripe* now if you're ready, than i am too

Tigerstripe: *looks from ghoststep to rowanstar and then falling on snowball* *smiles* alright, let's get going then *i'm suddenly filled with excitement as we start heading out of the tunnel* first i'll show you the territory and the best spots for hunting prey and-- *i keep going on and on like i'm training a new apprentice that has never left the camp before*

Ghoststep: *i watch her leave and though i've tried so hard, the guilt still sticks to me like burrs to my fur* *sighs before looking over at rowanstar* she'll make a great warrior, i promise you that

Dovekit: *i peak out when i see that she-cat again* oh! it's that she-cat again wheatkit! the one with the one-eye. she came back *i then pounce on top of linnetcloud's back to make my way up to him* maybe she'll stay this time and we'll have another warrior

Darkfrost: *i watch as the two leave the camp and my fur bristles as i swipe at a rock in irritation*

Dovekit: i wonder who'll mentor me *i look out at all the warriors* maybe mouseflight *squeezes past wheatkit, squshing him aside a bit as i look down at mother* didn't you train him?

Foxfur: *purrs when i see rowanstar* i hear we have a new warrior. maybe in time this place will be back to normal again

Foxfur: and i just know we'll see the others again and i'm sure they will come back eventually *touches my nose to his* and with the kits on the way and linnetcloud's kits as 'paws soon, this place will be just as boulderstar envisioned it

Foxfur: *smiles as i shift my weight in the nest* i'd like that a lot. the kits have been having a real craving for fish lately

Ghoststep: *with the two gone, i make my way back to my den, actually really happy to have snowball back*

Tigerstripe: *it's around the time where we've just gotten back from the morning patrol and we're all just lazing around in the sun* *my ears twitch and then raises my head when i see two strange cats burst through the tunnel* *i quickly get up, my fur bristling* hey! what do you think you're do--*i then stop when reedtail suddenly comes sprinting past me and practically, well bot practically, literally throws herself at rippletail and knocks him over* eeeh....

Reedtail: *my eyes are huge and presses my head against rippletail's* i can't believe it's you! i never thought i would see you again! *gasps* i didn't even think you were still alive *i then realize i'm on top of him and quickly and awkwardly gets off of the older tom* sorry! it's just so good to see you again! *i look back at tigerstripe* this is rippletail! he was part of blackclan *i then look back and tilts my head when i take notice of slate* i don't think...i remember you though

Reedtail: *my eyes light up as i go over and wrap my paws around slate* oh starclan! you've grown so much *i then back up and lets out a purr* you were so tiny last time i saw you, though i was just a 'paw myself *i then get excited as i look over at rippletail* that's another thing. i'm no longer a 'paw, my name's reedtail now *i puff out my chest and stands taller* boulderstar thought i earned it after all this time

Reedtail: *my heart then sinks for the young tom, my eyes gentle and warm*

Tigerstripe: *i then slowly come walking up beside reedtail, overhearing everything* *i glance over at her and we both exchange a look* you should tell them, they know you *my eyes sadden and though none of us knew boulderstar for as long as these cats did, his death was still hard for all of us to swallow*

Reedtail: it's complicated, but boulderstar...these cats renamed him that as their leader but he never got his nine lives *i then go over to slate, pressing my side against his, my eyes watering up* i'm afraid your father is with starclan now

Reedtail: he was the greatest and you look so much like him

Tigerstripe: it was because of him we all gathered together to form this clan *my ears swivel over to rippletail but when i open my mouth to speak and tell him the truth, reedtail shuts me down, giving me a look*

Reedtail: yes. it was a harsh winter and i'm afraid the cold got to him *i glare at tigerstripe, really not wanting the two to know about crowstorm and shrikeclaw just yet* but he was brave and strong and he did so much to revive his old clan *looks out towards all the other cats that slowly start to gather around or look curiously from afar* this new clan is Rowanclan *i then look over at rowanstar* and we are all doing our best to make sure it lives up to what your father would have wanted

Reedtail: *purrs as i look at slate and he really does look like boulderstar back in his younger days* *my ears shoot up when i hear foxfur calling out boulderstar's name as i see her come rushing over here, or as fast as she can with her extra weight* *my eyes sadden and though i've known boulderstar for most of my life, i can tell it still hurts her too*

Foxfur: *i saw slate from afar and i thought my eyes were playing tricks on me but i had to be sure* *my excitement then turns to sorrow and then slight embarrassment* oh...i'm sorry. you just looked so much like him and i thought...you know maybe

Foxfur: *my eyes then light up when i hear that* he would've been so proud of you and if i wasn't stuck in the nursery i'd love to mentor you, if you need to be mentored. i don't know, but it's nice to have you two here

Reedtail: *when foxfur mentions him needing mentoring i give rowanstar a good long look before looking back at the two toms* come on you two. i'll show you the warriors den, but first i'm sure you two must be hungry *i already start scootching them over to the prey pile* we have fish, mouse, bird, whatever you want we most likely got it

Foxfur: *purrs* i know he would *i then walk back over to the nursery, joining linnetcloud in her sunbathing*Darkfrost

Reedtail: *i plop down by the prey pile, my paws still tingling with excitement to see my old clanmates back again* and once you're all settled in, rippletail *points to the warriors den with my tail* you can share the warriors den with us and *looks over at slate with a tiny smirk* you're too big for the nursery now so you can share the apprentices den *points with my tail again* with snowball

Darkfrost: *i take notice of the two strange toms, one looking so much like boulderstar and i can't help but wonder if he's related* *after snwoball came back from her training, i casually made my way over to her, ignoring the gawking looks of ebony* so how's your training coming along so far? must be pretty strange from wherever you originally came from

Snowball: it's definitely different, but i'm ok with that *looks over at tigerstripe* he's a wonderful mentor and i can tell he cares a lot about this clan *looks over at him* i remember you from last time, but i don't think we officially met *smiles* i'm snowball

Darkfrost: darkfrost *i then paw at the ground and i find myself looking at her face, a bit curious how she even lost her eye* *she then catches me staring and looks away* sorry...i was just--

Snowball: *purrs and gently swishes my tail back and forth* no, it's alright. my eye doesn't bother me what-so-ever. i actually lost it when i was young and it was an accident. all i ask is you don't think less of me for having it *straightens myself out as i puff out my chest* i do fairly well with just one eye

Darkfrost: *i find myself just staring at her again, loving how confident she is* r-right...of course *i open my mouth to speak when linnetcloud's kits come curiously walking over to her* *scowls as my fur bristles* what do you two want? can't you go bug--

Snowball: oh relax! *smiles as i look down at the kits warmly* they're just curious kits after all *i then beckon them forward with my tail* it's alright *my voice is as smooth as silk when i talk to them* i won't bite i promise *pokes at darkfrost with my tail* i don't know about him though

Darkfrost: *my fur puffs up in embarrassment as i try to lick it flat*

Dovekit: *i keep a distance, mostly because darkfrost is right next to her* *i keep quiet, shy from snowball but wary of darkfrost*

Snowball: *i see the kits looking at darkfrost and i have a feeling he must have a temper or something* oh don't be scared *i then tilt my head, pressing the top of my head to his cheek* see? he's just a big old grumpy furball

Dovekit: *i look over at wheatkit before sneaking around and pointing at darkfrost's tail* *lowers my voice, but they can still clearly hear us* i dare you to jump on it

Darkfrost: *my eyes grow big and i just sit there frozen, my fur bristling*

Darkfrost: *my fur bristles, but i'm still too shocked at snowball's random act of affection towards me* *when she stops do i finally notice the both kits now attacking my tail* *i look a bit irritable until snowball gives me a look*

Snowball: just move your tail around *tilts my head* it won't hurt. they're just kits and want to have fun *smiles* i'm sure you remember what it's like to have fun, right?

Darkfrost: *looks away and it's been so long since i've had fun, especially something as blissful as a kit* *i don't think about it as i awkwardly flop my tail back and forth*

Dovekit: *we both hold on when finally i leap off, stalking behind snowball when i pounce on her back and scrambles my way up to her head* *i bite and pull on one of her ears*

Snowball: *i gently paw at her, slipping down to my stomach*

Ghoststep: *watches as snowball plays with the kits and is surprised to see darkfrost actually putting in effort* *i then walk over to where foxfur and linnetcloud are, sitting down next to linnetcloud* she seems to be fitting in well *i look over at foxfur and then linnetcloud* so how are you two doing?

Foxfur: *i'm facing with my back towards them, eyes closed* shut up, trying to take a nap

Ghoststep: *was mostly wanting to talk to linnetcloud any way* heh sorry *i then look back at linnetcloud and i can feel this awkward tension from her and i really hope she still isn't curious about my relationship with snowball*

Ghoststep: *sighs as i mumble to myself* not this again.. *i tense up when she glares at me from the corner of her eye* i told you, she's just a good friend back at the farm. i knew her since she was a kit and i just a younger tom *remembers telling her that last time and i try my best to think of something new to comfort her* *i look over at snowball and i still can't help but have flashbacks to that scared little kit i hurt so long ago* *i try to hint out to my past with th next words i choose* she was actually... the only friend i had back at the farm *frowns as i think back to it all* the only one that wasn't scared to talk to me

Ghoststep: *smiles warmly down at her* i know...and thank you *looks over at snowball and then back at her* if you really think that, then... *i then seem nervous* maybe later today i'll tell you what happened, but i can assure you there is nothing between us

Ghoststep: *feeling better now i head back over to my den, laying just outside of it*

Reedtail: *later, once the two get settled, i can't help but get excited and talk their ears off* and so your father just went out looking for cats to rebuild this clan. I got here later, but everyone here is really nice and it really does feel like a clan again *i point to ghoststep's den* we have a medicine cat named ghoststep and-- *my eyes sadden for a second, wanting to tell them about laurelsong and the others but i know i can't, not just yet* *shakes my head as i perk back up again* and we have one expecting queen, foxfur, her mate being rowanstar, and-- *i ramble on about all the cats, from tigerstripe being the deputy and his brother being mouseflight to darkfrost and how snowball and ghoststep know each other* sorry. i know that's a lot, but i'm just so glad to have you two here and i wan you catch you up

Reedtail: i know he will be

Ghoststep: *later, as the day gives into the night, turning a crimson color, i walk over to linnetcloud, flicking my tail to talk to her in private*

Foxfur: *she has the kits come over to me as i watch them while they're gone* *purrs* come here you two

Ghoststep: *once we're alone, i sit down, already feeling nervous* so...heh where to start *i look over, seeing snowball walk slate to the apprentices den* i guess without going too into it, i was the one that hurt snowball and it's because of me her face looks like that *lowers my head* i was such a mean ol' cat and i would fight anyone that tried taking my prey or cross into my territory. everyone was terrified of me but... *looks up again* not her...her siblings were and everyone warned her to stay away from me but she saw something in me i guess *i then look over at linnetcloud* she was such a bubbling little kit and one day she pushed me so far and i-- *i look away from her, sorrow filling up my eyes but i try to swallow it down* after that i ran, never even knowing till recent if she was ok or not *i look back at her with determination in my eyes* and that is why i vowed to help any cat i can and make up for all the wrong i've done

Ghoststep: *feels my heart melt and relief floods over me as i lay my head on top of hers* you really are the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. you and the kits

Ghoststep: *smiles and shakes my head as i watch her go, heading back to my den as well*

Dovekit: *holds up my paws as i bat his paw away* why not? *i leap on top of him and bites his ear playfully before going limp* then i'll just sleep like this

Foxfur: now you two, stop it. Dovekit, get off of your brother

Dovekit: but he's so comfortable

Dovekit: *i keep quiet as i curl up between linnetcloud's paws*

Foxfur: *i look fondly at the two kits as they get nestled down, eager for my own to finally be here*

Dovekit: *all day wheatkit and i seem to be getting on each other's nerves* stop it! *i put my paw on his face and tries pushing him away* *he found a twig and keeps trying to poke me with it* you're being annoying *i finally push him away, leaping on him and we tumble around* mom! wheatkit is-- *we both stop when we hear rowanstar raise his voice, but not at us in particular but to any cat old enough to hunt* *i spring off of wheatkit as i sneak my way over to the highrock*

Snowball: *i share a warm look with slate before calmly walking up with him, not really sure what to expect, but excited all the same*

Foxfur: *i pad out too, having ebony follow after me and trying to get chubnose to follow after me as well* you won't want to miss this, trust me

Dovekit: *we hide near the highrock, hidden by shade and the shrubbery of a bush* *i keep pushing wheatkit away, obviously still annoyed as i try to listen in on what's happening*
