The large tom sat down and began licking his paw. "It's time to get up and hunt." He said between licks. Blueheart tried to be serious and stern, but FluffFur always managed to break his attempts without trying. "I bet you could sleep forever if I let you." He purred, smiling. "Remember we're on a mission for the clan. We have to find where those dogs have been camping so we can warn the others." Blueheart took one last stretch before leaving their temporary den to find some food.

"I'm doing more than fine!" He excitedly told the Medicine Cat. Aside from his mentor and leader Froststar, Echobell was someone Halfpaw would share anything with. "Polarpaw and I are eating together today." He whispered, trying to contain himself.

Blueheart felt the kit stir, and stopped licking her. He had dozed off sometime during the storm, but he had stayed curled around the kit to keep her warm. The warrior lifted his head and glanced at the she-cat standing near the entrance of the shelter. At this point he had no reason not to trust her. She hadn't done anything wrong, so Blueheart assumed she was genuinely kind. That didn't change the fact that he had to look out for the well-being of his clan. "Now, sorry to question you like this, but why are you staying so close to SnowClan?" Blueheart asked, glancing at the she-cat.

"Now... Where to look.." Blueheart cut himself off when he heard rustling in the bushes a few tail lengths ahead of them. Instinctively he crouched, and began slowly creeping towards his prey. He shot FluffFur a small tail flick to signal that there was prey, but sharp as she was, she was probably two paws ahead of him.

Halfpaw nodded goodbye to Echobell and padded over the pile of fresh kill. He picked a plump squirrel in hopes that Polarpaw would be willing to share with him. He sat and waited.

"I understand." Redpaw mewed, just now understanding the extent of the hardships the kit must have endured. So young, and already such an unfair turn of events... His mind was clouded with pain, easily readable through his eyes. He would have liked nothing more than to know the whole story behind the kit's journey, but now wasn't the time, nor place.

Immediately he shot forward and pinned the sprinting rabbit with his paw. After a split second 'thanks' he leaned down and snapped its neck with his jaw. "Nice work, FluffFur. This should be enough." The warrior carried the kill over to his friend and began eating, leaving her plenty of space to share.

Halfpaw had just began training when Froststar's ears flicked and she sprinted to camp. "Froststar! What's wrong!?" He shouted, immediately following his leader. Then he smelled it. A strange new scent filled his mouth. The young apprentice had not been around when Blizzardstorm was part of the clan. "An intruder!" fury consumed him from his paws up.

Who is this cat... Why does it sound like Froststar knows her? Halfpaw's mind raced with questions, but he decided to keep quiet and prepared for a fight if one broke out. His mind was slightly eased when he saw Polarpaw behind him. I'll rip this stranger limb from limb! He thought, though it was obvious he was far outmatched.

Halfpaw's fur was bristling at this point. "It seems like an intruder has come into our territory with the nerve to speak to our leader..." The apprentice told Polarpaw, glancing over his shoulder. And what's all this about a prophecy? He thought, angered even further that the intruder showed no signs of backing down, not even a little budge in the face of so many enraged foes.

Although the threat was gone, Halfpaw stayed tense. He padded to the apprentice den, slightly exhausted from the fiasco, and laid down next to Polarpaw. "Do you know anything about that traitor?" He asked glancing at Polarpaw. His fur was beginning to settle as he relaxed.

Halfpaw, having completely overslept as usual, stood up and shook himself off. What's all the commotion.. He thought, padding out of the apprentice den. "Morning Polarpaw." He called as he approached her. "What's that smell? Are there more intruders?" The apprentice would have normally gone off the top with rage at the thought of more intruding cats, but he was still terribly tired.

Redpaw nodded subtly to Blueparadise, still awestruck by the strength of the tiny kit both emotionally and physically. "Nice to meet you, Quartzkit." he purred. "I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it takes a while to build up a resistance to this kind of cold. We have to get you back to camp before you freeze your paws off."

Blueheart nodded his head after hearing the she-cat's story. "The outskirts of a clan are no place to be camping..." He said. The warriors face adopted a less stern expression. "But I see no harm in letting an honest cat have a second chance." His eyes caught hers. "How would you like to join Snowclan..?"

Darkear... Halfpaw grumbled to himself. You took Polarpaw away.. Now how am I supposed to spend quality time with her!? The young apprentice, dismayed as he was, stood up and went to find his own mentor. "Ah, Echobell. Have you seen Froststar?" He asked as the medicine cat came out of her den.

"Yes, I'm certain Snowclan would accept both-" His voice trailed off as the kit began singing. Is this kit from Starclan? He wondered, before shaking such an impossible idea out of his head. The warrior echoed a line of the song quietly. "I guess you can see why I carry so much hate...?" His ears flicked with curiosity as he glanced at the she-cat to confirm that he wasn't hearing things. "What's all this about being in many clans, small one..?"

"Hmm, thanks anyways.." Halfpaw called as he turned and padded away. Just then he saw his leader coming towards the medicine den with Aurorakit in her jaws. "Froststar, hey!" He called, quickening his pace. "So... Can we train?" The apprentice couldn't have sounded more eager.
