OmenPaw got herself out of the pile of leaves, feeling disappoint she had alot of trouble catching small mounts of prey. She went back to where she killed the rabbit and snopped around for any other prey. She couldn't sense anything, her eyes were playing up on her. "Ahh!" she screamed, something bit her on the back leggs, she stumbled forward and looked over her shoulder. A large lizard hissed at her, looking throught its mencing eyes. Slowly the appprentice turned to face it, "alright, you're on!" she meowed weakly, trying to back off for a spring but the lizard kept comming forward. "uh-oh" that monster snapped its large jaws. OmenPaw swiped at its head leaving some cuts, she backed off again. Continously she pounced on it until its scales were drenched in its own blood. By the time she had landed her last blow her paws were shaking from exhuastion. Scared she ran of with her back legs sore. She saw a mouse up ahead, with the some of her last ounces of engery she stalked it keeping herself low and out of sight. Quickly she landed on the mouse biting into its back.

When Iciclelight got back to the meeting place she saw Nightpaw coming aswell, and with a bird too. "Very ice Nigthpaw you caught your first brid!!" she meowed.
Nightpaw just smiled. She was a cat of little words. She wanted to have a bite of her plump, jucy mouse, but she knew the clan had to be fed first. She kept her head held high. She drifted to daydreams of one day being leader. She would love to hiss battle calls. She'd be honored by the whole clan. Happyness overcame her eyes.
OmenPaw padded back through the clearing with a grey rabbit losly dangling from her jaws. "IcicleLight i smelt a werid cat smell as i was hunting" she report after she dropped the rabbit.

"Um... Silverstar?" Snowpath meowed nervously. Silverstar continued glaring at Iceclaw, but meowed in a sweet voice. "Yes, Snowpath?" "Uh...," he looked back at Braveheart for help.
"Um... Silverstar... Please don't be angry at me... But please, can we settle this without phsical contact..." She gulped as her eyes slightly widened.
[ xp I just finished reading the whole post... eheh; that was kinda random, the apprentices going out hunting in Silver's deep moment. I'm not so sure why Silverstar's so angry though. xp]
[Oh, and I hope I can join too? x3]
Swallowpaw glanced nervously from her spot just outside the apprentice's den. She could see that Silverstar was definitely angry-but at what? At first, the new cats seemed to provide her happiness, then horror, then anger. Silverstar really needs to sort out her feelings, Swallowpaw thought mildly.
Swallowpaw finally became bored of watching Silverstar's mood swings, and padded up to Omenpaw and Iciclelight. "If it helps," she mewed. "I smelled something too when I was out hunting earlier."
"I could take you there..." She offered, getting to her paws. "That is, if you want." She watched amused, this time a Iciclelight, who seemed distant and worried, her brow furrowed.
Omen turned to her best friend SwallowPAw, "you went hunting on your own? sweet!" she exclaimed her eyes beaming "can we IcicleLight? pleeeaassseee?" she asked

Meanwhile, Swallowpaw was already halfway out of the bramble entrance. "Are you guys coming or not?" She meowed a bit impatiently, her tail flicking back and forth, while she rolled her eyes.
OmenPaw glanced at NightPaw before joining the two of her clan mates. "Do you think another clan is eating our food because all their prey is dead because of a sickness?" she asked IcicleLight.

0cc: im still a apprentice unless IcicleLight lets me be warrior
OmenPaw puffed out her chest, "its the scent, you can tell it was a sick cat. Only sick clans hunt on other clans territory because they are low on their own prey"

Swallowpaw shrugged. "Okay, that's true." They headed out of the camp, and Swallowpaw lead the way, and pointed out the place. "This is where I smelled it," she said. "I think it might actually be a rabid fox. What do you think, Iciclelight?"
OmenPaw sniffed around more, "i didn;t smell it here" she bounded into the long grass and come back a few moments later with an unreadable expression on her face. "IcicleLigt, you'd better have a look at this" she turned around leading the way, she stopped infront of a rotting rabbit with the sick cats scent all over it.

"Right." she went near the rocks, something about this just didnt seem right though. "Hmm... it might be a fox... or cats.." she pused "It would make sence for a fox to be hear in such tall grass, ticks, fleas its a good chance...and what cat would dare to go in there unless they had no choice." she muttered.Then at the corner of her eye she somehting, to blurry to make out but something. With saying anything she went over and looked. She looked very closly and then she saw it was a badger eating a fox. Her eyes grew small. "Get back now!!!" she whispered "Dont ask just DO!!!" she told and started to back up. (^^; yea yea i know a badger eating a fox, it happens X3 plus me wanted it to get interestin!! X3)
Swallowpaw narrowed her eyes, from her spot where she had supposedly smelled a fox. It was true, there was a fox, and strangly enough, a badger devouring it. She made a effort to scamper off, but hid in the bushes, watching Omenpaw running off for help and Iciclelight, who was crouching in the grass.
[ AH. I REALLY SORRY FOR PLAYING THEES. *whacks self with heavy book* xp -shot'd- ]
Silverstar glanced back at Braveheart. "It's okay," she sighed, and smiled shyly back and the confused Iceclaw. "Just the old times, huh?" Iceclaw nodded warily, and stared back at her. "You're... you're the leader?" he meowed in surprisement. Silverstar nodded. She felt oddly proud of herself. "Yes. Yes, I am." Suddenly, Iceclaw came up to her and rested his head on her shoulder. Silverstar did the same, unsure of his kindness. "I knew it," he whispered. "I knew you'd be it." Silverstar's icey blue eyes leaked a tear. She had been waiting for him to give her a sign that he loved her, and he finally did. She slowly rose from his shoulder, and looked back at Snowpath and Braveheart, feeling awkward.
(nah it's fine X3) Iciclelight was about to do something that could get her killed or might regret. She got into the grass, where she could make a clear lunge onto the badger. "PLease....Starclan be with me!!" she thought she crouched down, very slowly. She didnt think of the outcome, if there was going to be an outcome for her. She acked not thinked first. Then without thinking she leaped and jumped onto the badgers backside and then just relizinng if she got bit or scrached she could get the rabies from the fox. The badger tried to fight back. Iciclelight jumped off. She saw that the others wanted to fight. "Dont you dare!!! You leap and i will be VERY dissapointed in you all!! ?Dont you dare jump!!" she yelled at them. Then the badger was about one claw length from getting to the neck of the white warrior. She started to breathe fast. She ran deaper into the grass trying to lead the badger away from the others, risking her own life. "Please dont follow me please!!" she thought and hoped that the other cats wouldnt follow. "Yes it's following.. But what do i do now!!"
Swallowpaw stared calmly [ occ-interruption: Swallowpaw seems to be very relaxed lately, huh? xD lol ] from her HIDING [ getit, Iciclelight? xD ]place in the bushes. She allowed her eyes to glow ice blue for a millisecond, and Iciclelight, who seemed panicked, breathed a little more normally, and begun to run-fast. Faster, in fact, than any other normal cat...
[ Yesh, I like shaking things up a little. X3 xD Swallowpaw just started using this today. X3 ]
"Run faster it's cetching up!!" thats all she could think off. Then when she came to an opening she stoped herslef. She finally found out what was at the end of the tall grass... Ahuge cliff. She turned fast and then the badger slid off the cliff pulling Iciclelight's tail dragging her down with it. "HELP!!!" she yelled "HELP ME!!!" she was sliping trying her hradest to not let go then she felt somehting grip her tail hard. It was the badger it had sunk it's claws into the tail of Iciclelight. She let out a loud meow of pain "HELP!!"
OOC: Um, Braveheaert? Is this "going to another clan to search for family and then go home" done yet? I don't think I shoulda just LEFT the clan, and Frost ain't com'in on, and she's deputy... XD ^^"
Swallowtail shot out, forgetting her own safety momentarily. She skidded on the edge of the cliff, and closed her eyes and concentrated on the desperate cat in front of her. A faint glow emitted from behind her closed eyes, and she opened them a second later, ready to help. She looked around frantically. She pulled on a sturdy longweed rooted to the ground with her teeth, and descended behind a squirming Iciclelight, obviously afraid that Swallowtail was crazily jumping off the cliff. She stilled her with a strong paw, and she planted her hind paws squarely on the badger. Shocked, the badger tried to wiggle her off, unable to use its claws. Swallowtail could feel Iciclelight's grip loosening, she better hurry. With a mighty push, she leaped off the badger with a lot of force, and the badger's claws tore down the cat's tail. Iciclelight swallowed a scream, and Swallowtail pulled her up. "Thank... you..." She rasped gratefully, but her tail was bleeding immensely. She nodded. "But we have to get you to a medicine cat-fast."
"Thank you both!! i am dearly appreciated but.. I am to weak to move.." she paused trying to get her breath. "Thank you Swallowpaw.. you were brave! I will thank Omenpaw when she gets back."
"Here..." Swallowtail shifted Iciclelight's body weight onto her shoulders, and they slowly, painfully moved in the direction Omenstorm had disappeared. They almost collided into her, when she came running back with two other cats, one clearly a medicine cat, and the other a strong warrior, ready to help carry an injured cat.
Braveheart had started ahead of Silverstar, and heard her name being called. "Yes, Omenstorm?" Looking puzzled, she then smelt the strong scent of blood.
[ Hiya, peeps! 8DD xD Braveheart ish medi cat. ^^ ]
"Iciclelight needs critical help." Swallowtail said simply, in her most serious tone. She gratefully transferred the she-cat's weight onto the tom, sighing.
