Volepaw, now furious he had not been made a warrior, thundered out of camp. His white and gray fur bristled in rage as he exploded from Windclan territory and made his way into the heart of Thunderclan land. He padded onwards until he came to the camp, he gave one last hiss in the way of Windclan and padded in...
Gingerclaw leaped to his paws and exploded after his apprentice, but the young cat was faster and had already ventured deep into enemy territory. "VOLEPAW!" He yowled, hoping the young cat would come back but he didn't. He mewled like a scared kit and sat down, wrapping his tail slowly around his body. He sighed and looked up, watching the stars sadly. He had lost so much, and now his apprentice.

Ashstripe watched quietly as they threatened Leopardfur. She did not personally know Leopardfur but she could tell that she did not like them. Ashstripe turned to head to her den. She had herbs to sort and that couldn't wait forever. As she was just about to step inside her when she heard Gingerclaw yell Volepaw's name. Ashstripe turned quickly to see Volepaw darting into Thunderclan territory and Gingerclaw in a state of grief. She slowly walked towards Gingerclaw and stood a few lengths behind him. "I'm sure he knows what he is doing Gingerclaw. I don't think he is mouse-brained enough to just run into another clan's territory when he knows it will cost him one of his lives. He had dreams of becoming a warrior and he wouldn't take that chance."

Gingerclaw sunk further into himself. "He is that mousebrained, his brother is the clan leader." He shot Ashstripe a pained glance. "He also had dreams of joining his brother in Thunderclan, and he always wanted to unite his broken family... He's gone to join them." Gingerclaw wailed again, closing his eyes. His chest hurt, badly. He winced and curled farther into himself, a pained look coming over his entire being. Volepaw had been his best friend, and first apprentice. He shook his head and felt as if the weight of the world crashed upon his shoulders, he mewled quietly.

Leopardfang merely snorted in response, flexing her claws and digging them into the ground with her ears flat and a rumble deciphering from her chest. But Moonstar quickly explained, and though she didn't like them, apparantly they were clan. She bared her fangs but kept her words to herself, glancing gratefully at both Volepaw and Gingerclaw, turning and shouting his name with Gingerclaw. She sighed, her tail flickering slowly, not paying any more mind to the new cats, "Hopefully the apprentice will find his way." She had a soft spot for the tom.

Gingerclaw looked down at Leopardfang, she always made him feel better. He leaned against her lightly, letting their pelts rub together lightly. He sighed and flicked his tail, still deeply upset by the young cat's leaving. He turned and looked at the beautifully spotted she-cat next to him, he knew Silverpool loved him, but he felt the attraction to Leopardfang. He sighed again and flicked his tail, curling it around them, then quickly recoiling it.

(O lol! you picked a terrible time for Volepaw to leave, Silverpool was about to go. lol!) When all was quite SIlverpool slipped from the den and to the lake. Perhaps living the life of a loner was what she needed. She spotted Gingerclaw and again her heart failed. She crept to him. She probably wasn't the one he wanted to see right now, but she knew she could help him. She crouched next to him, this time she kept away from him. "Gingerclaw, he'll come back. He doesn't know what he wants. And if I knew Moonstar, he was probably thinking of naming him a warrior soon. Remember when you, Moonfur and I took Volepaw out for a good hunt? I'll never forget the look on his face. and the joy in his eyes. He'll come back... I promise."

Leopardfang glanced back and forth between Silverpool and Gingerclaw, her pelt pressed up against the tom, and she suddenly figured it out. Her eyes widened, and a surprised, muffled mew came from her when the light bulb flickered on. She looked between the two, miffed at not knowing this before, for she was a recent addition to the clan, and had no idea of its history. However, instead of making a scene, she instead pressed even harder against Gingerclaw, a sudden coy, defiant look filtering through her eyes and she allowed a throaty purr to occur, nuzzling his throat before turning and moving slowly, stealthily towards the fresh kill pile, her tail held high in the air. Whatever the past was between the pair, it was over. Finito, completed and ended its chapter. Unless Gingerclaw was hiding something...

Gingerclaw smiled a bit at Silverpool. "I hope your right, Silverpool." He looked at the other she-cat, Leopardfang on one side, Ashstripe in front and Silverpool on the other side. He felt lucky to have such great friends. He let out a surprised purr as Leopardfang rubbed her head and nose against his throat. He felt her warmth leave him and looked after her, ears twitching as he watched the beautiful spotted she-cat go. Suddenly he blinked; he knew he liked Leopardfang, but did the she-cat like him back. He was tempted to get up and followed her but couldn't leave Ashstripe and Silverpool feeling awkward. "Thank you two." He purred, his spirits lifted again.

Leopardfang bent her head, picking up a tasty wood mouse and then choosing a thrush. She felt a bit uncomfortable around so many cats who had so much history, and she padded up to Gingerclaw, sort of with a shrug, as if offering the either choice to him, though she knew the she-cats were probably annoyed or irritated with her, at least the ones that were friends with Gingerclaw. Her eyes softened a bit, and her tail hung in a relaxed way down her haunches, and she murred her encouragement, lifting the pair of fresh kill for him to choose, if he was so hungry. If not, she wouldn't take it personally, she would simply go put it back.

Gempaw was watching from a distance, just outside of the Medicine den. Poor Volepaw...her heart sunk. Was he really going to join Thunderclan? She wondered if she aught to go with him. Her tail drooped, and she walked back into the den to organize the herbs. She needed to take out the bad herbs so that they would have all fresh if a cat got hurt. Her paws and muzzle moved automatically as she sorted out the marigold first, but her mind was on Volepaw. She really hoped he would be okay.

Gingerclaw smiled at Leopardfang and batted at the thrush until it came loose, he pawed it over and crouched over it with a purr of thanks. He began slowly plucking the feathers and shot a wary glance towards Silverpool and Ashstripe. Were they just going to sit and watch him? He pawed the thrush eagerly, still plucking feathers.

With that Silverpool decided it was time to leave. She took a last glance at her clan mates, "I'm sorry that I was unreasonable, Leopardfang." She said. It was good to know that her last words to the she cat were good ones. She turned to Ashstripe, smiled and dipped her head in goodnight. She turned to Gingerclaw... she had nothing to say. She couldn't describe anything without telling them she was leaving. She dipped her head this time more buisness like... not as warm, then turned and walked back to-wards the camp. Her tail slightly low. Moonfur would know why and where she was going. This wouldn't hurt any of the cats back in the clan, Moonfur would come after her and Moonstar would be upset, but no one would mourn for her. Once out of sight she disappeared into the forest, never to be seen again.

Ashstripe purred at the sight of the tom and of the spotted she-cat. She decided to leave so Gingerclaw and Leopardfang could talk amongst themselves. She dipped her head in return to Silverpool then dipped her head goodnight to Leopardfang and Gingerclaw. Ashstripe walked back into the Medicine den to see that Gempaw had already begun to sort some of the herbs. She purred and walked over to the Burdock Root. "Thank you for starting on the herbs, Gempaw." she purred.

Leopardfang stretched her nose forward to press it against Silverpool's shoulder in apology, but she turned to leave so fast. She stared at the spot the pretty she cat had just lingered, her scent still on the air and her ears pulled back, "You and I as well, dear one." she murmured, but her words were lost in the wind, and she purred a greeting to Ashstripe and Gempaw, though she ate her vole in silence next to Gingerclaw. She felt bad indeed, as if she were the one to make Silverpool leave, especially after Volepaw just left. She watched her food intently, lost in thought.

Mitch watched the apprentice run off with a sinking feeling in his gut. "I'm sorry." he mumbled to no one. He stretched and then forced his paws to move into the warrior den. He felt almost unwelcome here. With one last sigh he fell into a light sleep. And for some bizarre reason, pictures of Sliverpool danced across his lids.
Moonstar awaited for a Starclan member to greet him. But to his dismay no one arrived to guide him through these hard times. He could feel the eeriness of the open space around him.
