Shadowed Forms {MAIN RP}

[| Crowstar |]

A large orange tom walked proudly into camp, two thrush clamped in his mouth and a smaller cat scurring after him with a vole in her jaws. Webwhisker purred in amusement as he set down his kill, ears flicking. "Take that to Acidstar, she must be hungry." Berrypaw nodded and scampered to her leaders den, she mewed lightly; requesting entrance.

[X. Acidstar .X]

Acidstar had been inside, thinking for a lost time about the four clans and what they were coming too. Tensions were high, rather extremely high, and for some reason she simply couldn't place her paw upon it. She groomed her fur, for having lost much of her sleep during the night, but Berrypaw's requested mew interrupted her. She sat up, mewing her permission for the apprentice to enter, "Come in."

[| Crowstar |]

Berrypaw padded in and dipped her head, still holding the vole in her jaws. She stopped and dropped it at her leaders paws. "Webwhisker said you might want this." She said, knowing her leader wasn't one for talking; and she looked very distracted. She flicked her long, white and gray tail with a purr.

[X. Acidstar .X]

Acidstar dipped her head and began to pick at the vole, though she messed with it first, picking at it but not really eating it. "I will eat it..eventually." her eyes shined in the darkness, and her ears pricked in interest, as if suddenly realizing the she-cat was there, "Are you still up for that border patrol? With Lionhawk and Webwhisker?"

[| Crowstar |]

Berrypaw nodded slowly. "Yes, but Lionhawk isn't around..." Berrypaw said slolwy, watching her header pick around at the vole. Berrypaw lifted her gaze back to Acidstar, what was bothering her leader?

[X. Acidstar .X]

Acidstar nodded firmly. The striped leader was getting rather skinny, though her muscle still kept, thought it hardly showed beneath her bushy fur. Her long tail flicked, and she stood up, leaving the vole where it was to finish off later, "Then let us round up Webwhisker and be on our way. If he's not around either, then it will be you and I."

[| Crowstar |]

Berrypaw flicked her tail and padded outside looking for Webwhisker, he wasn't in sight. She sighed and looked back at her leader, she was skinny and this bothered Berrypaw deeply. The young cat flicked her ears in embaressment for critizing her leader, but she knew somthing was wrong. She wasn't going to push, but she would somehow find out.

[X. Acidstar .X]

Acidstar followed her out of the cave, pushing past the brambles and the burrs until they got into the camp. She called out for Webwhisker, but when he didn't show at that moment she flicked her tail, urging them on. "He'll know where we went, he'll either catch up or stay and guard the camp." she murmured, her eyes casting this way and that and her body tensed. Something was filtering through her mind, and she was trying to figure it out herself. "Where do you prefer first?" Whichever Baypaw chose, Acidstar would opt for the complete opposite, for that would mean that Baypaw would most likely choose a place she was really comfortable with, and Acidstar wanted to see how well she did in a more not-known place.

[| Crowstar |]

Berrypaw padded slowly after her leader, her tail flicked as she spoke about Webwhisker. "Normally I hunt near the old twoleg place, but Lionhawk and Webwhisker take me out anywhere they see fit." She replied, her ear flicked slightly as she sensed her leader was about to test her. She wove through the pines with ease, tail lashing once in a while.

[X. Acidstar .X]

Acidstar noted this, and she quickly turned to the right, picking up speed as they made their way out of camp, the burrs brushing against Acidstar's coat. "We will go to the deepest part of the territory," she notioned, slipping through the trees, a rustling in the wood beyond making her come to a stop.

[||Gempaw||]

Lionhawk strode towards Acidstar and Berrypaw, his eyes glittering in apology. "Sorry that I am late. Acidstar I scented a fox." he nodded towards the border. "It crossed over our border, but it may have a den here." He looked at Berrypaw, then at Acidstar. "Should I take some warriors and try and find the den?"

[| Crowstar |]

Berrypaw's eyes glinted as she saw her mentor, her tail waved around frantically. "A fox?" She asked coyly, a small smile creeping onto her face. "Can we go Acidstar?"

Webwhisker trotted up to Acidstar and Berrypaw, catching their words. "I guess you already know then." He growled sourly, tail lashing. "I'm more than happy to go help. It may be the one who attacked the nursery last leaf-bare." That attack had killed Webwhiskers mate and kits, he was more than able, or willing, to drive this beast out.

[X. Acidstar .X]

Both Webwhisker and Lionhawk approached them, and when they spoke of this fox, she arched her back with a growl. Her ears were pricked, her eyes narrowed and ready to slice through the trees to find the den, and besides, it would be good practice for Baypaw. She knew how Webwhisker felt about foxes, and what better way for him to channel his energy then to learn to control it and use it in combat? She nodded, signaling with her tail for them to lead.

[Seth]

Mudclaw slipped into the camp, running his long dark pelt gently across the thick thorns that lined the camp. He flicked his ears back and narrowed his yellow eyes see his clan mates. Mud plastered his paws, spraying randomly across his dark grey pelt. "Greetings." He nodded to Acidstar.

[| Crowstar |]

[Seth, don't forget to post your new cat's bios.]

Webwhisker turned to Mudclaw and nodded slowly. "We're going on a fox hunt." He said with a sly smile, tail lashing like a whip and cracking the air agressively. He stretched himself out, sending his muscles into a flurry under his pelt and around his bones.

Berrypaw snorted, What a show off! But she did admire the orange tom, almost as much as she admired Lionhawk and Acidstar. All three cats were pretty much her mentors. The silvery tabby froze as the scent of fox filled her nose, she lowered herself and gave a hiss that sounded like a snake, eyes blazing and tail lashing as she saw a flash of orange. "Acidstar, we don't have to find it. It's found us."
