"You stepped on my tail, mousebrain!" Blackkit complained to his sister. She crouched wrinkling her nose and wriggling her haunches. "Is that a challenge?" She accused and jumped onto his back. Cloudkit, feeling slightly left out, joined the rumble.

Shadow had not seen Midnight all night. He was worried. When he became alph male, he had vowed never to let anything harm his pack. Now an important wolf was missing nad it was all his fault. He took a deep breath of air for the ninth time this night, trying to catch a whiff of Midnight. Suddenly, the breeze shifted and a stale, familiar smell hit him: Midnight. He howled a triumphant song before he charged into the deepest, darkest part of forest surrounding the territory. He would find Midnight and bring him back.

Shadow had found the lost wolf as well, but sat back on his haunches to see what would happen. (wink wink)

OCC: I have a sub-account called Cougarwarrior. SO if I post with that one, it's me.

IC: Tiger had stalked the traveling cats for many days, always pushing so as not to loose the trail. Now he stood at the top of an icy hill, looking down at a windswept valley below. The Travelers, as he had come to call them, had stopped to rest. He called out, but his booming voice got caught in the blizzard. His semi-dark shape stood out against the fluffy white snow. "Hello!" he tried again to no avail. FInnally he resolved to walk up to them. He prodded a cat in the shoulder. It felt ass if it were made of ice. "Hello? Why are you traveling in a blizzard?"

Shadow gave a small grunt and trotted off to camp. They would follow eventually, of course. He began running just to run when he noticed Mia sitting off to the side of a well-worn trail. He trotted up to her. "Is everything all right?"

"Shhh. Come with me, kit. What is your name?" Applefang asked gently. His mate would know something better to do. "Applefang! What do you have with you today?" Raccoon asked curiosly. A kit! She had just lost a litter herself. "Oh you poor thing. Come here, let me clean you. Applefang, can you go get some fresh-kill?" Like you were supposed to, she wanted to add. Then to the kit, she cooed a lullaby and asked, "Now, why don't you tell me your story? I'm sure it's an intresting one." She settled into a rhythmic lapping of fur while waiting for a seemingly long lifestory.

Shadow's ears swiveled at Midnight's distant words and he smiled to himself.

The other three, who were new warriors, had their pelts bristling on end. "Oh, sure." one of them said angrily. Raccoon stepped in; they were yelling at a kit. "Now you leave her alone! She's just a kit!"
"Well, looky here. We have a rouge on our paws. And on Winclan territory, too. What a shame." said another,inching closer. All of a sudden, Applefang burst from the heather in a frenzy. "Let my mate and kit go! Leave them alone!" Raccoon had never been so happy to see him. She stood protectively over Hawkkit. Living in Windclan territory, she had learned to run faster than a rabbit. The four of them turned towards Applefang and Raccoon realized this was her chance. She picked up Hawkkit and ran to Twoleg place. A place she knew, and had once loved. She knew warriors hated going there. She ran to the old abandoned twoleg nest and set down Hawkkit. "Are you alright?" She asked

Raccoon stumbled into the bushes. These cats confused her. She shook her head to clear it.

Raccoon realized she was running, rather awkwardly. She halted and turned to see what the kit wanted. She felt very responsible for Hawkkit, but obiously, she had a cat that cared about her. "Yes?" she mewed, trying not to let the kit see she was close to crying.

Shadow saw what was going on and rolled his eyes. It was obious they were in love. He felt that way inside, too. Towards Mia, though.

Raccoon brightened up immediately. "You do?" She purred

Fine then. she thought. "Come on!" and with that, she shoved him into the soon-to-be-frozen river. His head went under then popped back up. She gave a small yowl of triumph. "Keep your head up and paws moving!" she called. She said she was going to teach him. She was teaching him.

Lionchaser laughed. She helped him out of the water into the chilly wind and began licking his pelt the wrong way to warm him up.

While Snowwing was floundering in the water, Lionchaser hadd caught a fish. she brought with her as she laid down next to this handsome tom. "Hungary?" she teased, knowing he'd probably reject it considering his clan was Shadowclan.

Lionchaser was genuinely surprised. No cat outside Riverclan ever volentarily ate a fish. "If you want." She slid the slippery fish in front of him.

OCC: When can they mate? Sorry, does Snowwing want to mate?

They mate.
*FADE OUT*
The sky turned from dark to midnight blue to the dark gray of predawn. "I'd better go. Thank you." Lionchaser whispered in his ear. Then, with a smile, she entered the river and swam home, to Riverclan.

Over the next two moons, Lionchaser and Snowwing met in secret. But one night, Cougarsoul, followed her.

Gotta go to Dinner, Bye!

Shadow noticed a yearning in Mia's eyes, no more like a disire. He wondered what that was about. Anyway, he felt just as Blue looked. He walked into the den they shared (assuming they share a den), curled into a tight ball and awaited sleep.

"We're warriors!" the kits immediately intrupted their tumble to volenteer themselves for a real battle.

"No, kits. Your time will come, but it is not now." Driftingmist said, sternly yet gently; sweetly yet with the air of some one with power, just as any mother would speak to her kits.

The kits began protesting, but with one stern look they filed towards the nursery, only stopping to look back at the commanding queen. With a collective sigh, they climbed they path in the tree.
