Stormcloud jumped through the bushes and sighed. "I hope the Frostclan mouse-brains think what we're not." he hissed to Duskfur. He wanted to make friends with the warrior, along with his sister. They both seemed nice and Coppertail didn't like him. Period. "Lightstream, take the lead and see if everything is in place. You know what I mean," he said loudly. He blinked and smelled the sent of the forest coming up.
Icestar looked at Hawlwing sharply. "I would like them in the camp for only tonight, but Jaystar isn't up for the traveling and patroling at the moment. And Twolegs are crawling all over their territory." she meowed. Then it was quietly. She looked away from the warrior. "Two days at the most." she hissed. "Then I want them gone." she replied. "And if they put up a fight, a fight shall it be." she retorted. "Thunderpaw, can you run to the shore of the Rushing River, it's right over here, and check for Twoleg sent." she meowed, she flicked her tail toward the river.
Dragonpaw heard the Beachclan warrior mumble. "I wonder what he said." Browntail whispered. "Here, lets go," Dragonpaw meowed. Browntail and Dragonpaw took out to a run and passed the Beachclan warriors. Browntail wasn't used to the nasty salty sent. His pelt was filling with sand. "It feels so free out here!" Dragonpaw purred. "I know!" Browntail repiled as he splashed his way to the shallow end.

"Run, run run," Thunderpaw muttered under his breath. "Thunderpaw, run here. Thunderpaw, run there. Ugh..." Nonetheless, the apprentice obeyed his leader's order and dashed to the river. He arrived at the bank, panting. The water was slightly cloudy from soot and the tangy scent of fire was permeating the air. He inhaled deeply and promptly broke into a coughing fit; he had probably inhaled some ash. After the cough subsided, he padded back to camp with his eyes watering from the soot. He didn't even notice a muscular tortoiseshell sprawled out some distance from the entrance of camp and tripped over her. Shocked, Thunderpaw looked at the cat and yelped. He sprinted back to camp, yowling the whole way. "Icestar, Icestar, there's a corpse over here!"
ooc: Don't worry--she's not dead. Thunderpaw is just stupid. :3

Icestar watched the apprentice's eyes. "Okay, let me look." she meowed. She ran to the bank and saw Rockfang on the bank. "Rockfang? Is that you?" she asked. She swam across the bank and sniffed the limp body. "She's alive." Icestar whispered. "Thunderpaw, can you go back to camp, get some warriors to carry to Quietshadow. Then come back and we can hunt and swim at the beach." she ordered.
Browntail heard yowling. He sprang out of the water and pounded passed Dragonpaw. He raced to the Rushing River, which he heard the yowling. He saw Icestar on a rock next to a limp body. "Rockfang," Browntail whispered. Icestar must had killed her! he thought. His eyes widened and he yowled. "You tradior!" he spat. "What are you talking about?" Icestar hissed. She looked at Rockfang. We need to get her back to camp. she thought.
Dragonpaw finally caught up with his friend. "Rockfang!" he yowled. He ran back to camp, right after the Beachclan apprentice. "Help! Help! Rockfang is dead!! I think! Icestar!" he panted.
ooc;
sorry I like making my characters seem really stupid. =] All of them.

Obediently albeit grumpily, Thunderpaw trotted back to camp and sat down in front of Quietshadow. "Excuse me, but we need some warriors to carry Rockfang back here," he meowed with a falsely businesslike tone. "I'll lead them to where she is; I tripped over her."
"You what?" the medicine cat repeated, giving his ear a confused flick.
"I tripped over her," he repeated coolly. "Icestar and I were going to hunt and train. She asked me to run ahead and check for twoleg scent at the river and I ran into Rockfang on the way back."
Quietshadow frowned slightly. "We have a crisis on our paws--but I suppose hunting would be beneficial, especially with the extra cats here. The twolegs might have put out the fire. We had one on BeachClan territory when I was younger and I caught a glimpse of one squirting water out of a snake at it." He blinked away the strange memory and called out to the group of cats, "We need a few warriors to go with Thunderpaw and carry Rockfang back to camp."

Redwind jumped. "Is she died. Owlspot no!" she worried. "I told you everyone is doomed!" Shadowsoul hissed. Her head still hurt and she felt horrible. "Help me," she meowed faintly. She laid down and closed her eyes. "Help me," she meowed once more, now it was only a whispered. "Mother!" Rainkit yowled. She started pushing at her belly. "Help!" she cried. "Someone!" she cried, even though Quietshadow was right in front of her.

Duskfur nodded quickly to Stormcloud; however, as they padded into the forest, his memories of the location began to return. It was three times now he'd returned from this place having failed to do something important out of fear, his paws heavy with regret. Was there any doubt that this mission would ultimately be the same? He'd already been unable to take up the leadership of the patrol - what would be next?
"Sure!" Lightstream meowed instantly at the black-and-white warrior's request. "I know just what to do, Stormcloud - you can count on me!" The tension of the situation forgotten completely, she scampered ahead through the trees, but paused in mid-step near the border. Wait, do I know what to do? She'd always been one for accepting things blindly - she was so glad at being asked to do something, she hadn't actually paid much attention to what Stormcloud had said. Mouse dung. She blinked, taking in the scent of the air around her. FrostClan... Stormcloud wouldn't have asked her to go onto their territory yet, would he? But they needed to be warned as soon as possible... "Oh, wait!" She meowed it aloud by mistake, and was slightly glad there was no one within hearing distance. Scent markers! He wants me to keep making scent markers while the rest of them... do whatever. Okay. She began to stroll forward once more.
However, as ecstatic as Lightstream seemed to be at being asked to run ahead of the patrol, her brother was eying Stormcloud warily. Should the black-and-white warrior really be giving the orders, when Duskfur had been the one originally in charge of the patrol? However, the dark warrior couldn't quite imagine himself telling other cats what to do so confidently.

Owlspot's eyes narrowed and he padded over to Shadowsoul. "Shadowsoul?" he meowed, giving her a verbal prod. "Come on darling, Rainkit misses you and Twilightkit is hungry." He began nudging the black she-cat's shoulder with his head. "Redwind, can you suckle the kits? Go to the Nursery."
Scarletmoon!" he yowled out to the camp. Where was he when his mate needed him? He snarled and turned his attention back to waking Shadowsoul.

Redwind nodded and purred to her mate. "What kits!? I don't have any, and your Owlspot, and I'm Sheena." she meowed. Shadowsoul was getting way too confused. Oh no, if this keeps going on, the smoke from her head might do alittle worse to her. Redwind thought.
"Owlspot, I need you to go catch up with the patrol and bring Flaxeyes here, we could use her. I think my kits might be coming," she whispered with a smile. She laid down.
"Rainkit, honey, come here," she called sweetly. Rainkit squealed as she heard her mother's friend's sweet tone. She bounce over to the queen and started to feed. Rainkit would be switched over on fresh-kill soon, but not too soon.
Icestar snarled at browntail once more. Browntail hissed back, "stay away from her." "I'm trying to help her you twit." Icestar retorted. "Thunderpaw, please hurry up before I tear the other eye out of this tom." she mumbled. Browntail blinked his one eye and looked at her boldly. Icestar gave him a cold gaze. Browntail's spine shivered as the cold gaze rapped around him. He backed away from a minute and closed his eye. He re-opened it a little while later and hissed once more.
Stormcloud pounded at the forest floor. He could feel a small bit of sand from some cat's pelts. It reminded him of his apprentice days. "Duskfur. I know your nervous, always, and want to be a good friend with you, most cats around here think I was like Cloudtail when he was brought into Thunderclan camp." he meowed quietly. He new Duskfur was very sensitive. He didn't want to hurt him in any way, shape or form. He smiled. Oops, wrong thing to say, man, I've hung out with the kittypets for too long.

Owlspot nodded. He would fetch help as soon as possible but first he had to deal with 'Sheena'. Carefully he picked up each kit and brought them over to Redwind. He hoped desperately that she would have enough milk to suckle them and then their own. He looked back to the black queen and grimaced. "Coppertail!" he called. His voice was edged with panic.
The ginger tom padded raced over. It was odd for the unsually calm tom to sound so flustered. "What's wrong?" he asked quickly.
"Shadowsoul is delirious. You have to get Moonstream or Quietshadow now!"
"Quietshadow is helping with Rockfang..."
"Moonstream then! Find her!" Owlspot yowled. His eyes were blazing with frustration.
"I will!" he hissed back," What are you doing?"
"I need to catch your patrol. Flaxeyes needs to be here to help nurse these kits," he explained.
Coppertail nodded and watched reluctantly as the spotted tom sped off. The ginger tom had his own plan and jumped up onto the highrock to starting giving orders.
"Tigerstripe! Get Redwind to the Nursery. Moonstream and Larchpaw tend to Shadowsoul, Silentstep can you try and help? Bramblethorn, help Mothwhisker move Faintspot's body. Got it?"

"Yes, Coppertail!" Tigerstripe yowled before giving Jaystar a lick on the cheek and muttering, "I'll be back." She hurried over to the center of camp where Redwind, Rainkit, and Shadowsoul were gathered. "Come on; I'll show you the way to the Nursery," she mewed to Redwind.
Exasperated, Quietshadow stood and gave an order of his own. "Any cats in BeachClan or AquaClan who aren't doing anything and who aren't injured too severely must come over here! We need to bring Rockfang back--she's unconcsious." He sighed and waited.
ooc: I'll make a board on FrostClan territory where the patrols can meet.

"Scarletmoon, is that you?" she asked. Then her eyes flew wide open. Everything was coming back to her. "Scarletmoon, my kits, our kits," she meowed, she shook her head. "What happen." she asked calmly, she was still confused. "I have no milk, where's Rainkit, I heard her," she whispered. "Twilightkit, what happen?" she asked and she saw the small kit in a pile of moss. "Is anyone going to come and help my kit?" she wailed.
Redwind smiled as she saw Shadowsoul her old slef again. "Shadowsoul, I have Rainkit, going to nurse her, but I think they're coming!" she yowled to her friend.
Shadowsoul sighed in relief, but new what was coming. "Larchpaw, Moonstream, anyone, please get me some borage." she hissed. "Calm down," Dragonpaw snapped.
The black queen let out a loud hiss. Dragonpaw charged to Quietshadow. "What? I thought Icestar had killed her." he meowed, more confused than Shadowsoul was.
Silentstep nodded. "Of course, I'll help out in the nursery, making sure every kit has a queen with milk. And then I can go to the Forest and gather some herbs, and take Larchpaw." she meowed. She smiled. She limped over to Redwind and took Rainkit from her jaw. "I'll get you some more borage, just in case." she meowed. Once they found a bed for Redwind and pushed sand away and laid Rainkit at Redwind's belly. Redwind nodded to the elder to let her leave.
Silentstep came out of the medicine cat's den with a bunch of leaves of borage. "I've brought all of it without anyone's permisstion. Don't tell on me," she joked. She laid them down in front of Emberlight and Redwind. Redwind lapped it up, she new what was going to happen. "Where is Owlspot!" she yowled.
Icestar swam across the river. "I'll tell you one thing, I didn't kill your deputy, and the only was to get her back to camp is to swim across the river. The river's waves are high and only Beachclan warriors can swim across." Icestar retorted. Browntail backed away. "I don't believe you," he meowed. Icestar bared her teeth and gave the tom another cold gaze. She couldn't help giving the gaze, but it hurt her to show any cat.
Browntail backed away. Aquaclan was known for climbing tall trees. He jumped into a huge palm tree and clawed at the tree, trying to climb it.

Moonstream rushed over to Shadowsoul. "Shadowsoul, I'm so sorry!" She turned to Scarletmoon. "What's happened? Where are your kits?"
OOC: Sorry it's so short...
Mothwhisker began lifting Faintspot onto her back, but she wasn't a particularly strong cat, and he slumped off her shoulders almost immediately. "Help! I need help with this! AquaClan!"

Redfoot heard her friend yowl. "I'll help," she offered as she jumped up. She wasn't in a good condition, but it was to help Mothwhisker. "I hope we don't lose any more," she whispered as she caught up to the elder.

Tigerstripe rolled her eyes. "Are you going to come into the nursery or just have your kits in the center of camp?" she asked, voice heavy with her typical sarcastic tone. "Out in front of everyone?"
"She's not on the other side of the river, Icestar," Thunderpaw hissed. "She's kind of outside camp. Not very far but out of the way."
Quietshadow looked around. "I don't see anyone else. Thunderpaw, go fetch your sisters."
The apprentice nodded and padded off. "Swallowpaw! Quailpaw! We need you to carry Rockfang back to camp!"
Quailpaw loped over. "Is she--cough-- dead!?" she asked, blue eyes widening. She honestly couldn't picture her deputy being dead.
"No. Just knocked out."

ooc;
Icestar is with Rockfang, not at camp...
bic;
Browntail rushed back to camp. "Icestar is with our deputy and Rockfang is kind of knocked out." he meowed.
Silentstep poked her head out of the nursery. "We all know that!" the elder spat.
Redwind hissed as Tigerstripe said the rude words. "You shouldn't be like that, your mate could die!" she retorted, she either didn't like the fact that Jaystar was dying, but she didn't like this whole fire and Beachclan thing either.
Shadowsoul jumped up and walked to the nursery, she noticed Redwind being shown there. She poked her head in and saw Mousekit and Rainkit. "My kits!" she wailed. "Thank Starclan," she purred.
The thing was, the queen was dry and there was no more borage left. Her ears laid down and her eyes looked worried. Redwind is going to have kits and I don't know who this other queen is! she thought. "I'm dry, and my kits," she wailed.
Silentstep nodded. "Larchpaw, we need more borage and honey. Cats are still coughing and queens are dry of milk." she meowed.

Larchpaw nodded. "I'll go get some right now" He ran out of camp blowing past his brother and sisters.
Swallowpaw hissed as her brother nearly ran her over. "Jeez" she spat. "Let's go" She meowed to Thunderpaw
Scarletmoon purred "I'm here Shadowsoul, just relax" He lowered his voice "Where are my kits?" He asked Moonstream "She may calm down once they're here" He flicked his tail nervously.

"Moonstream! Twilightkit, she's not breathing!" Shadowsoul wailed. "Scarletmoon!" she yowled.
Twilightkit's small chest very little went up and done. She weezed and coughed, she was rolling around, as if she was having a heartattach. "Help!" she wailed.
Silentstep quickly limped after the fast, soon to be medicine cat. After seeing a little bit of his sent trail she saw a hive. "Great, bees." she hissed. "Larchpaw, can you tell me how you get the honey?" she meowed loudly. She heard him stepping on sticks. [sorry if it's power playing but need to show that Silentstep isn't going crazy.... well I hope so!] She watched as bees floated in and out, very quickly. The grey elder stiffed the air and smelt the sweet sent of honey.
Rainkit looked at Redwind and pushed her way to feed. I can't feed for another mom, she thought, but I'm so hungry!
The small kit looked around and started to suckle.
Redwind smiled and looked at Emberlight, who was nursing Mousekit and her two kits. "Owlspot, Owlspot." the orange queen wailed.

Coppertail attempted to calm Redwind by roughly flicking his tail across her shoulders. "Hush, hush," he meowed softly. Although his voice was calm his eyes were wide with panic. He had no idea what he was doing and wished that his brother was in his place. "Owlspot's gone to fetch Flaxeyes," he explained to the queen," He's trying to help your friend."
Owlspot's belly brushed against the forest floor as he ran. His paws hit the ground with a steady rythm and his sides rose with each breath. He had to find the patrol so he could tell them to bring Flaxeyes. Otherwise, Shadowsoul's kits would die. He pushed himself further as he remembered that back at camp Redwind had gone into labour. He close his eyes briefly as he sented the air. Hold on Redwind! StarClan be with me!

Emberlight smiled back at the rusty red warrior, sleepily. She was always sleepy these days. Her kits kept her up most of the time, and nightmares kept her up for the remaining hours. "I can nurse another kit, if I need to. I can't really help in any other way."
Mothwhisker smiled at her friend, Redfoot. "I hope so too." She lifted Faintspot onto their backs and began walking slowly. "Owlspot asked us to bring him back to AquaClan territory to be buried. He doesn't want him buried in enemy territory either." She hissed quietly at the thought of burying her old friend in BeachClan.
Moonstream dashed over to Shadowsoul, who was yowling about her kit. "What happened, Shadowsoul?" Her nerves were frayed. This was chaos! And she couldn't do anything without knowing what was going on... "I can't give her herbs without knowing what happened."

Tigerstripe pursed her lips and narrowed her green eyes but managed to restrain the contemptous growl she would have otherwise given the queen. "There you are," she meowed dryly before padding off to leave her alone.
"I guess this is everyone that we'll get," Quietshadow sighed, looking at the three apprentices. "Thunderpaw, lead the way."
He nodded and started to pad out of camp. Quailpaw quickened her pace to keep up with him, coughing occasionally. The smoke had not been kind to her. After what seemed like moons, Thunderpaw stopped dead in his tracks so that Quailpaw ran into him.
"What was that for?!" she spat.
"I think I smelled her," he replied cautiously.
"Wait, so you're saying that you don't remember where she is? You could have said something instead of stopping!"
"So?"
"Stop fighting, the both of you," Quietshadow interrupted. "Icestar is with her, correct? I think I smell them. Carry on."
The siblings glared at each other before continuing to pad on in search of Rockfang.

Dragonpaw followed Quietshadow and the other apprentices. He laughed as they faught. Luckly, he was an only kit, but other times he got really lonely. He pounded at the ground and sniffed the air. His mouth watered as he smelled fish from the Rushing River. He then caught vision of Icestar and Rockfang. He yowled loudly.
Icestar lifted her head and smiled to see some of her clanmates coming at her. "Over here!" she yowled. Browntail growled to only see Dragonpaw and Quialpaw from Aquaclan. Is there anyone else who would've came to help Rockfang out here! he thought. Browntail smiled though in relief. "Finally." he hissed playfully, as Dragonpaw drove him over.
"Sorry, couldn't stop." Dragonpaw joked. "Your just as bad as Redwind." Browntail hissed.
"Can you two stop playing around and help Rockfang?" ICestar hissed. "Oh yeah," the two toms said at once.

Quietshadow padded over to the deputy and sniffed her fur. He recoiled upon doing so. "It's probably smoke inhalation," he murmured. "We need to get her back to camp and conscious as soon as possible so she doesn't die. Once she's up we can give her the herbs she needs."
Thunderpaw and Quailpaw nodded. "Do we have to carry her?" he asked. "Rockfang isn't a small cat and the four of us are only apprentices."

Maddie had just finished swimming over the Rushing River with Ocean and Shadow behind her. she ran into the clan cats and caught sight of Icestar's cold gaze. Wow, I can see why they fight to win or something like that, she thought. She looked at their welled build bodies, her eyes widened. "Great more cats," Icestar hissed. "No! I'm here to talk to Sheena, I think her name is Shadowsoul?" she asked. "Yes, she is taking care of her kits and mate, run along." the black leader growled. "No! I need to talk to her!" Maddie hissed. Icestar stepped in front of the small kittypet. I like the way this kittypet stands up to me, she thought. "Quailpaw, can you lead these cats to Shadowsoul, make sure you say that I let them into camp." she ordered, not daring to take her eye off the kittypets.
Maddie dipped her head in thanks.
"Here, I can help." Browntail offered. He was a bigger warrior and would be happy to help carry his deputy to safety. He pushed his one shoulder up while Dragonpaw pushed her onto him. Browntail laid down to get a better grip on her.

"Yes, ma'am," Quailpaw mewed flatly, a bit miffed at being ordered around by her former leader. "Follow me." The light gray apprentice padded away from her siblings in the direction of BeachClan camp. She padded over the sandy ground with ease, like a native BeachClanner. She was one, after all.

Ocean followed along eagerly, while Shadow examined every nook and cranny. She didn't find anything interesting, though. She might have found something in AquaClan's territory, but Twolegs were crawling everywhere across the river.
Ocean caught up with Maddie, nervous. What if the Clans didn't remember her? What if it wasn't even RainClan, where she had brought her daughter, granted access to the barn. She anxiously took a breath, breathing in some smoke. She coughed slightly. She may be nervous, but she was still excited.

Maddie followed the small apprentice and couldn't get the picture of the she-cat's cold gaze. She shook her head and trotted after the small cat. She had to walked slow to keep next to her. "Um, hi, I'm Maddie, are you from this clan?" she asked. She was excited about meeting the first cat, not counting Icestar. Then trotted a little more and then saw a wonderful home. Her eyes sparkled in the sunset. She smiled and looked around. The camp was clean, filled with cats, and had a hint to show that she would love to live the clan life. I want to join! she thought. But this Icestar is really mean....
