Nightfire looked at Banditpaw and mewed "Okay since we are out of the camp show me what you know on hunting?"She noticed a mouse scurrying about the ground.She flicked her tail and then sat down waiting to see what happens.
ooc-Yah short post but I can't do anything unless Banditpaw replies.

Badgerfur::
Although unable to see the announcement made by Earthstar, Badgerfur heard it from her position in the Nursery. Shortly after, Smokefoot entered. Badgerfur gave a purr of welcome as Smokefoot groomed her fur with long, delicate strokes, and, after licking Badgerfur, proceeded to nuzzle each of the three kits. "I'll bring back the news." he whispered, to not disturb the other Queens. "And I'll go get you some Freshkill now." he said, dissapearing out of the den before Badgerfur could mew a reply.
Thistlekit was in a state of confusion. The world was dark and silent. He couldn't even tell he was born, other than the strong smell of warm food as his body nuzzled close. He suckled obediantly, recognising that there were two shapes next to him on either side but unaware of why.
Strawkit, however, was mewing and kicking, thrashing as though trying to reach out and feel the world all at once. Her barely developed legs failed to support her yet she would not give up her attempt to follow the comforting scent that had just left the den.

;;shiningfrost Shiningfrost came in and her eyes widened as she saw Dawnbreeze and Willowkit. One of which must've been his sister, the other his mother. "Oh, I'm sorry. I saw Lightning - this kit drowning and he smelled of BoulderClan. Since Boulderclan didn't have a medicine cat, I was going to fix him up and bring him back." She said, almost wincing when lightningkit called Dawnbreeze his mother. How could that have been true? But then Shiningfrost recalled that this was none of her business, as far as everyone else knew. Lightningkit was in BoulderClan - for now. ;;lightningkit Lightningkit stirred groggily and coughed out a bit of water, scenting his mother and - and Earthstar. Or whatever it was, was it LakeClan? It must've been, it smelled of salt and water. Earthstar, the one he'd pretended was his father - but no, Lightningkit's real mother and sister were here with him. He decided that all of the dreams, the games, they needed to cease. Dawnbreeze was his mother, that's what she was. "Mama?" he muttered, then fell back into unconsciousness. [/color][/size]

Dawnbreeze rushed forward, picking up Lightningkit by the scruff gently, trying not to wake him. Willowkit nuzzled her brother for a moment before looking at Shiningfrost. A slightly wary look shown clearly in her green eyes, although she was grateful to the Lakeclan medicine cat. "Is there anything he needs, herbs I mean?" she asked, for Dawnbreeze had her mouth full.

”O-okay” mewed Pridekit, her voice shaking ever so slightly but she seemed to grow confidence from mid-air. ”Yeah!” She squared her shoulders and faced Tigerkit, trying not to notice how much taller he was than her. He drew back her ears and hissed - not because she wanted to intimidate Tigerkit, but because she had seen the warriors and apprentices do it and it looked quite cool. ”Well…go on then” she mewed, lashing her tail from side to side, the shadow of a smile twitching on her face. How hard would he strike a girl?
Earthstar prowled forwards, massive shoulders swinging from side to side with every large step he took. He headed towards the nursery but did not stop when he reached the medicine cat Shiningfrost, keeping on going so he bashed into her, pinning her up against a fallen tree trunk. ”What the hell” Earthstar breathed, lips very thin and ears pressed back flat against his skull. ”Are two Boulderclan cats doing inside our territory?” For he had seen Dawnbreeze and Willowkit and did not like it. Lightningkit - he did not mind, but he would come onto the subject of his son later. And my - how his son had grown. The last time Earthstar had seen him had been when Scarletvixen had wrenched him away from his family. He had been barely bigger than Earthstar’s nose then but now he was a healthy looking, strong {if still very small} kitten. Earthstar’s heart swelled with pride…and anger. He turned back to his medicine cat, all the hair down the back of his neck and along his spine bristling dangerously. ”Why” he repeated hoarsely, eyes popping. He was barely constraining himself from shouting. But he would do that later… when they were alone.
”Who are you” Heatherkit demanded, poking Lightningkit with a small brown paw, bored of Pridekit and Tigerkit’s bragging. She didn’t want to fight and knew Pridekit would be in a sulk after loosing so was busying herself elsewhere. The little kitten that had come in along with his mother and sister displeased her slightly - Boulderclan /stank/ and no-one had explained to her what they were doing there. She saw Earthstar come storming in and shrank back ever so slightly. It wasn’t good to get in his way. She prodded Lightningkit again, he seemed to be the same age as her and looking into his eyes was a little like looking in a puddle - they had exactly the same eyes. Maybe Dawnbreeze and Tigerlily were related!!! ‘That would be cool’ thought Heatherkit, looking once again at the kit with a little less hostility.

Willowkit looked over at Heatherkit. "Hi.." she mewed tentatively, knowing full well the fact that the clans were all enemies of each other. "I'm Willowkit." The calico kitten was much bigger than Heatherkit, being over 6 moons old already, but still she tried not to be intimidating, a cautious but friendly glow in her green eyes.
Dawnbreeze looked from Earthstar to Shiningfrost, placing Lightningkit down gently so that she could speak to the angry Lakeclan leader. "Willowkit saw Lightningkit escape the nursery, and we tracked him down to the lake. That's where we picked up Shiningfrost's scent and came here. Do not blame her, she has saved Lightingkit's life." The queen stared firmly at Earthstar.

”I didn’t ask you and Shiningfrost can save as many…” Earthstar began coldly, but then broke off, mouthing the next words he had been about to utter with an expression a little like a dead fishes. She had saved Lightningkit’s life. He had almost forgotten that he was his son. Earthstar gulped, suddenly feeling weak. ”Well done Shiningfrost” he muttered, not looking at her but staring down at Lightningkit, completely silent. After about thirty heart-beats Earthstar wrenched his head up, his neck clicking loudly. Earthstar winced but didn’t say a thing, so used to not expressing pain. ”Okay, okay! Apprentices, gather round!” he called in a carrying voice. It was time to go to the Apprentice Contest. He could sort things out with Shiningfrost later. Turning back to Dawnbreeze with a softer expression on his face, he found his eyes sliding towards Lightningkit again. He wanted his son to stay in Lakeclan. He didn’t want to forget him again. ”At the Apprentice Contest you two can go back” he mewed gruffly, not meeting their eyes. ”We’ll keep Lightningkit here until he’s recovered” Earthstar continued, looking back up at the Boulderclan queen, slightly icily.
Heatherkit looked at Willowkit with the same patronizing stare Earthstar used all so often. It wasn’t that she didn’t like Willowkit, it was just what Heatherkit looked like. ”Hello Willowkit” she mewed, looking enviously at her long legs and developed muscles. She wanted to be that old!
Walnutpaw heard Earthstar’s call and quickly bounded over, furry brown pistons swiveling on his rounded cranium. It sounded as if finally he was going to go to the Apprentice Contest. Tree-climbing…tree-climbing…He wondered which of the other apprentices from Sunclan, Dreamclan and Boulderclan were going to tree climb. It was only then that he noticed the incredibly pretty kitten talking to little Heatherkit in the nursery. Resisting the urge to wolf whistle due to the face the larger cat lying next to her looked like her mother, he crept into the nursery, deciding Earthstar’s speech could wait. ”Hello” he mewed rather foolishly, looking at Willowkit. ”Who are you then?” And before he could help himself - ”And which contest are you doing?”

;;shiningfrost Shiningfrost heard Earthstar's words: 'we will keep him here' and instantly her eyes widened. How could he be so idiotic, so imprudent? She shook her head, smiling nervously. "Of course, Dawnbreeze? If you would feel more comfortable, you and Willowkit may stay here a day or two while Lightningkit heals, unless BoulderClan has found a medicine cat..." Her voice trailed off, looking back to Earthstar on the other side of camp as if to say 'I saved your butt! ;;lightningkit Lightningkit prodded Heatherkit with a claw, but he was still sitting for he was unable to walk from the recent injuries. His eyes narrowed and he snarled, but a kit's snarl looked more like a pouting face. "You stole my eyes, I want them back." He pounced and smiled, rolling around all over the floor and laughing. Finally, he pinned her down. He wanted this she-cat to be his sister, she was so nice! And - suddenly Lightningkit realized something an elder in BoulderClan had said: 'Queens can't have kits within six moons of each other. Willowkit was only six moons old, but here Lightningkit was two moons old. Dawnbreeze couldn't be his mother, could she? No, he'd have to ask later. "You know what?" He leaned in to whisper in Heatherkit's ear, still smiling. "I don't think Dawnbreeze is my mama, I have a sister that's four moons older than me. That's impossible, we're less than six moons apart. You know what I think would be cool? If Snowstar was my mother, and Earthstar was my dad! Oh my StarClan, that'd be wicked!" Lightningkit - was odd. Maybe not, however, what would be little Heatherkit's reaction? [/color][/size]

ooc: Coolio! I luff Silverfoot, rain! bic: Ashfeather scanned the various cats around camp and spotted his brother, Silverfoot. As he padded over to talk to his brother, he thought he could vaguely hear Earthstar's snarling in the backround. Shaking his head, he sat down beside where his brother was sitting, curling his fluffy tail over his white toes. "Hey," he said, abit boredly. Not that he didn't want to talk to Silverfoot, of course. "you going to the apprentice contest?" ooc: short.

[[ la stripepaw ]]
The sound of light pawsteps could have gone unheard if Stripepaw had taken care to maneuver them as they were. Unfortunately, skills were wasted on this cat, but then again, the apprentice had never been tested in battle. Stripepaw knew not where her mentor was, but this didn’t trouble her too much. A little nap wouldn’t be any harm—And before she knew it, the brief voice of Cornflower was detected by those brilliant ears. It was definitely unfair to pretend that she had not heard her mentor, thus she carried on instead, following the voice to its source where she knew it to be. Now the voice of the clan leader boomed through the grounds. Wait, what? For once, those lazy orbs of yellow lighted up with a slight hint of panic, but mostly of excitement. The Apprentice Contest! Although the apprentice herself had not known about the contest before this, who cared anyway, since she was going to be there, and she was, yes. Her steady padding of feet switched to a galloping gear and no sooner did she find Cornflower, as was it. She found her mentor issuing a command, but wasn’t sure if she should try it out or head over to the contest beforehand.

.Silverfoot.
Silverfoot, who had been busy washing himself over in a nice quiet spot in camp, paused to look up at Ashfeather. His brother approached him, and he meowed a simple greeting in reply. With the mention of the apprentice contests, the husky silver tom shrugged. "Maybe, to see which clan has the strong apprentices." A look of yearning flashed in his dark blue eyes, oh how Silverfoot wished he was young again, with nothing to worry about, and when his father was alive...the painful memory made him shiver slightly, but he hid it by shaking out his fur. "If you go I'll go."
.Willowkit and Dawnbreeze.
Dawnbreeze shook her head, opening her mouth to object, but thought better of it. Frustration shown clearly in her emerald eyes, but it was true that Boulderclan still had no rightful medicine cat. She knew she could not leave her kit here though, and looked at Earthstar. "We will stay here with Lightingkit until he has recovered." Even if Earthstar had not brought it up, and Shiningfrost had, she would not go back to camp without her son. Casting a thankful look at Shiningfrost, she bow her head in the medicine cat's direction.
Willowkit twitched her whiskers at Heatherkit, noticing the resemblence between the she-kit and the Lakeclan leader almost immediatly. "Is Earthstar your father?" she asked quietly, before turning her head to look at Walnutpaw. "Hello," she mewed, her ear flickering at his question. "I am from Boulderclan..and I cannot partake in the apprentice contests, I have not received my apprentice name yet.." A flash of resentment lit up her green eyes. "My name is Willowkit, by the way."

Ashfeather nodded, just barely noticing the odd look in Silverfoot's eyes. "I guess I will." he said, his eyes beggining to wander around camp. "Who knows," he said with a somewhat devious grin. "it might be pretty fun. You know, seeing the apprentices climbing trees, fishing," at this, he pretended to fish,"hiding, and fighting!" he puncuated his last remark by playfully batting his brothers ears in a mock fight. At times he was still a kit. The smoky warrior then shrugged. "So yeah, I think I'll go, if Earthstar let's me. Who d'you think will win?"

Silverfoot groaned at his brother's kittish antics. His ears flattened as Ashfeather's paw hit his ear. "Seriously, can't you act like a warrior?" he grumbled goodnaturedly. "It better be Lakeclan. Especially with fishing. I'd be ashamed to be apart of Lakeclan if we can't even win the fishing competition! Imagine another clan's apprentice beating out the clan who practically lives on fish!"

"I choose to ignore that remark," Ashfeather said, putting on a sober face although he was joking. "You're right." he continued, nodding in agreement. "If Lakeclan didn't win fishing... we'd be in bad shape. But I don't think we have much to worry about in that area, the other clans practically never fish. So, Lakeclan's gotta win. I'll bet my next three days kill on it." he said with a set jaw. However, after a moment his stomach rumbled slightly. "Well, maybe I won't." then, gesturing to his belly with his paw he remarked "Better to be safe than sorry, eh? Come on, let's go get something to eat. I'm starved."
