Gazestar watched the cats go. Deep within him he felt almost sad, he wished he could talk to Dawnstar longer. Something about the she-cat soothed his nerves, he felt like a different cat around her. He shook his head free of the thoughts before nodding to Moonwillow and leading them back to their own clan.

Moonwillow turned and walked off to her den as they entered camp. She looked back to see Gazestar near his den sitting, watching the cats emerge from their dens after sleeping. Then he slipped into his den.

Bearfang watched Gazestar and Rainflower enter the camp. He bowed his head in acknowledgment and have a slight smile.

Dawnstar's mind drifted back to Gazestar. She wished she'd had talked to him longer, but she was too dazed by the dreams. Entering camp, Rainflower nudged Dawnstar towards her den and patted off towards her own. Dawnstar nodded to Bearfang and silently headed into her den on tired paws. She curled up on the soft moss, sighing tiredly.

While Gazestar slept, Brackenstripe (deputy) began to send out patrol groups along the east side of the border. “Lightheart, take Barktail and Goldenclaw to hunt. I’ll catch up with you guys later.” He nodded them off before going to the queens den to check on the other cats in the clan.

Moonwillow and Fernfrost had left the camp to gather herbs and hunt together. They had grown up together, and supported each other unconditionally. Fernfrost was going to be a queen until her mate had died, after that she felt scared to love or care for anyone again, too scared to lose them. So she became a warrior, to defend what she had left.

(Imma make a character sheet for Fernfrost… maybe love interest could be Windspirit?)

Ooh, okay!//

Dawnstar raked a comfortable surrounding of soft, warm moss around her, engulfing her in warm, soft scents. She sighed, immediately becoming drowsy. She snuggled deep in the moss and drifted into sleep.

Bearfang groomed himself as he waited for a hunting group or a patrol he could join in on. He began to think of what could have happen last night during Dawnstar’s dream at the moonpool. ‘Whatever it was, i’m sure it was amazing.’ He thought silently to himself. One day he had hopes of becoming a leader, though at the same time, it make him nervous and anxious. He would be too scared of becoming a bad leader.

Windspirit approached Bearfang, glancing briefly at Rainflower. "Could I take out a patrol?" He asked squarely. "No one's checked the MistClan border. We only checked the border opposite."

Dawnstar muttered in her sleep, paws twitching.

Bearfang stood and nodded. “I’ll tag along with you, it’ll give me something to do.” He said glancing around camp. “Should we gather others? Though, I’m sure you could handle it on your own.” His tail flicked calmly before sitting back down. “Take who you want out, if you’d like me to go I can.” He huffed.

Windspirit shook his head. "You should stay, just in case. Dawnstar's asleep." His tail flicked at Dawnstar's den. "I'll take Robinflight(NPC) and Sparrowstrike(NPC), as well as my apprentice, Lilypaw(NPC)."

The brown tom nodded. “Very well, be safe out there. Don’t be afraid to come back if back up is needed.” Bearfang spoke deep and calm. He stood and trotted over closer to Dawnstar’s den and sat down. That way he got a clear view of the camp, the entrance, and was able to guard the leaders den.

Fernfrost ventured off a little from Moonwillow to hunt. She decided to put herself to use while they were out. She began to track a ferret.

Windspirit nodded to Bearfang and patted off, picking up his apprentice and the two warriors on the way. The patrol hurried out of camp on silent paws, sprinting towards the MistClan-DawnClan border. Spreading out, Windspirit sniffed the borders deeply, looking for any trace of MistClan on DawnClan territory.

Fernfrost had gained on the ferret, yet still couldn’t see it. Her mind was so focused on the rodent that she hadn’t realized she crossed onto Dawnclan’s border until the soil under her paws had changed. “Shit!” She cursed to herself before turning back quickly and leaping back onto her own territory. Her ears were flat against her head as she began to prepare herself for the trouble she would possibly get in later, either by Dawnclan or Gazestar.

Windspirit was satisfied no cat had crossed the border when a scent tugged at him. He breathed it in deeply, fur bristling. MistClan! Tracking the scent silently, he quickly walked towards the lingering scent. He paused. It had returned to MistClan territory, he could see the cat slinking into the bushes. "You there!" He meowed. "Did you cross the border?" His voice was fiery and savage.

Fernfrost nearly jumped out of her skin. She spun around, tail bristling. There were two ways she could play this, either be kind and sweet and hopefully he’d let it slide, or she could be her normal, snappy self. The warriors ears flattened against her head once again before she eyed the male and looked around for other cats that could possibly be with him. “I-i did.” She said lowering her head. “I was hunting a ferret that had crossed from my clan to yours.” She narrowed her eyes. “It was an accident. I realized I had crossed your border after it was too late, but don’t worry, I let the ferret go.” She replied with a hint of sas on her tongue.

Windspirit drank in the scent of the she-cat. She was right, he could taste the faint scent of a ferret lingering on the tips of the female's fur. His fur flattened, though his ears were still cricked with suspicion. He narrowed his eyes, thinking. "You're telling the truth," He stated, standing in a dignified way. He sighed heavily, then glanced back. His patrol would be waiting. "I'm letting you off this time. Stay off." He melted into the bushes, going back to camp with his patrol.

Fernfrost relaxed when he relaxed. She raised her body up and watched him leave. She raised her eyebrows, she didn’t think he would let her off so easily. She took in a deep breath and turned and quickly trotted off to Moonwillow, to tell her of the mishap. Though, she ignored the part where she thought the tom was handsome.

Moonwillow shook her head hearing about it. “You’re lucky, Fernfrost.” She smiled a little. “That definitely could have ended much worse.” She sighed picking up herbs with her mouth. “Let’s get back to camp, hopefully Gazestar won’t hear about what happened.” She mumbled.
