The Message

Applesong laughed as Ravenclaw and Tussockpaw caught up with her at the tree. She could only imagine how annoyed Tussockpaw was with Desertflower for thwarting his dash to the tree. Ah, well, that's what mother's do, thought Applesong to herself. She couldn't remember her own mother. There was a rumor that Applesong's mother was a clan cat who had wanted to become Deputy and had, thus, given up her only kit to the rogues. She had no way of knowing if the rumor held any truth.

Applesong had been "mentored" by the rogue named Attack, truly her best friend, who had been killed in clan territory. Although Applesong originally vowed to find the killer and avenge Attack's death, she now realized how unlikely it would be to ever find the killer. The emptiness she felt in her heart was being filled with new friendships in RainClan. She really enjoyed watching the apprentices grow into full warriors; it gave her hope for the future of her clan.

"Ravenclaw, may I join you and Tussockpaw on the patrol now that we've reached FrostClan's border?" asked Applesong. She was anxious to survey the area for any signs of the badger.

Hawkstar poked his head into the nursery, his tired expression lighting up when he saw his mate. "May I come in?" he asked playfully, padding over to Orchidtail and licking her cheek, a deep rusty purr sounding in his chest. "How are you feeling?"

"Sure, you can Applesong. Honeyfrost, Desertflower you can come to if you want. First, we mark the border, then we can scan the territory for the badger." Ravenclaw meowed. He glanced over at Doveheart. He dipped his head to her. "Thanks again for warning us about the badger."

A soft purr rumbled in Orchidtail's chest. "Tired," she meowed to Hawkstar, licking his cheek in return. "And my paws are sore. I can't wait until the kits have arrived."

Doveheart licked her chest in embarressment as her pelt warmed. "Bye," she whispered. She glanced back at Flaxeyes, urging her to say goodbye faster. Applesong was looking at her hostiley, and she didn't like it at all.

Hawkstar sighed, looking older than he was. "I know about being tired." he said, yawning loudly. "It seems we are having more and more problems in Rainclan." then he smiled, rubbing his cheek against hers, taking in her warm scent. "I can't wait for the kits either, hopefully things will get better when they are born."

As she waited for Honeyfrost and Desertflower to answer Ravenclaw, Applesong stretched her slim body against the tree, gripping her claws into the bark. Suddenly, her stomach grumbled again.
