ThunderClan Camp

Cloudwisp shook her head softly. "I don't mind all of your questions," the small wolf said. "The time it takes to become a warrior varies depending on the apprentice. You need to become proficient in a few skills before you can be made a warrior. Usually by that time most wolves are a year in age, but I've seen a few promoted a bit earlier," she explained. "With lots of hard work, you'll be a warrior sooner than you realize," Cloudwisp added with a smile.

Coalpaw nodded and looked up to he white-furred Clan deputy. "Okay. I think that's all my questions." The small white and red apprentice lowered her head respectfully and chose to ask one more question, this one closer to her heart. "I was wondering... Did you ever know who my mother was? I don't remember her at all, and I was hoping that someone could tell me what she was like." The little fae flattened her ears and whined as she recalled her lonely puphood.

Eclipsepaw looked at her fellow apprentice Blackpaw. "Hi Blackpaw; no, I haven't. Maybe she's training?" Hesitating for a moment, the white and red apprentice asked, "Do you know who Rosestar will pick as my mentor? I assume sje left with you this morning."

The dark apprentice was instantly annoyed when Eclipsepaw immediately turned the conversation back to herself. A dark gleam entered his orange eyes and a sneer curled his lips "Why would the leader tell an apprentice who she plans to appoint your mentor? Surprisingly Eclipsepaw Rosestar does not confide in me, do you actually have a brain rattling around in your head or is it an empty cavern with a local spider named percy tap dancing around in there?" his voice was snarky and low as he drawled his response, her simple response had painted her to him as a self centered brat who only cared about herself and nothing else. Stupid girl, there were moths with more brains, "Why don't you go ask Rosestar yourself instead of asking someone who obviously would have no clue, or better yet go ask Coalpaw since she's talking with her now and wants to quit being a medicine wolf apprentice" he added after a moment of quiet thought glaring at her with his bright orange eyes then he turned them to Cloudwhisp ignoring response that Eclipsepaw might give him awaiting the deputy response to his question

Dragging his prize catch into camp, Jaydust entered through the thorny entrance. Blackpaw stepped in before him, his prey easier to carry. Heading immediately to the Fresh-kill pile, the dark brute set his prey down. He then scanned the other fresh-kill, noting most of it consisted of rabbits and squirrels. Plucking a squirrel from the pile, he carried it over to a shaded corner and laid down, preparing to eat. The Green-leaf sun shone brightly over the forest, and the air was filled with bird-song, almost perfect for a lazy day. The male took a bite of the squirrel, savoring it's juicy flavor. In his mind he began to think, slowly pondering over some of the events of the day. "I wonder how Bramblerose is doing, I haven't seen her in a while." He thought, slowly taking another bite of squirrel. Some could accuse Jay of treason, but the male saw his friendship with the Shadowclan wolf hardly as such. To him, they were only good friends, and there was nothing in the Warrior Code against having friendships with wolves from other clans. Jay could be ignorant about certain things, and this was definitely one of them.
Hearing Blackpaw's bratty words, the male turned his head towards him, face showing clear disapproval. "He sure gets worked up easily. What crawled up his butt and died?" He thought, waiting for the Thunderclan deputy to either stop the budding argument or step in. Jaydust took another bite of squirrel and watched.

Eclipsepaw narrowed her pale yellow eyes and stood nose to nose with Blackpaw. "Yes, I do have a brain. Do you have ears? I asked if you HAD AN IDEA!" The white and red fae spat at the small black male. The fur on the back of her neck bristled and her yellow orbs blazed as sje growled at Blackpaw. "For once, stop being so pessimistic and act like you're happy for once."

Eclipsepaw followed Blackpaw and spat, "What did you just say?!?" Out of sheer anger the little white and red sheertarted to growl loudly standing next to Backpaw's flank. Pathetic irritating little furball she thought as she became humiliated and ran to the apprentice's den. Once she was there she heard what Maplepaw told her and asked, "Who was it??" The small fae looked to her friend and perked hers ears, but in her mind she was badly hurt by what Blackpaw said about her. I'll get him back for this. He WILL pay for what he has done...

(Ooc: oooooh has Eclipsepaw gone to the dark side????)

Coalpaw walked back into camp and went to the medicine den and deposited the little bit of tansy that she did manage to find. Walking back out, she walked to the fresh-kill pile, she chose a small rabbit and sat next to the medicine den in he favorite shady spot. Looking around for her friend Eclipsepaw, she found her talking to Maplepaw. Deciding to leave them alone, she anxiously awaited Rosestar to make the announcement.

Coalpaw saw that Maplepaw had moved away and motioned her over with her tail. "Hey I have something to tell you that you can't say aloud to anyone... Yet." Waiting for her red-furred friend to repky, she wondered why everyone was gone. She was aware that may be another patrol out of camp but something else just felt wrong in camp. The black and gray fae pushed the thought out of mind and focised once more on Maplepaw.

Cloudwisp shook her head gently when Eclipsepaw asked her if she'd known her parents. "Not very well," she responded. Cloudwisp understood how the apprentice must have felt, for her parents went missing when she was young as well. Their conversation had been interrupted when Blackpaw entered the camp, asking her if she'd seen his sister. Cloudwisp thought for a moment but couldn't recall seeing Maplepaw leave the camp that day. She opened her mouth to tell him when Eclipsepaw got irritated by Blackpaw's snarkiness and an argument broke out. Cloudwisp frowned; certainly she should do something? But who was a fault? Both of the apprentices? Before she could decide on how she should handle the situation, Blackpaw had walked away and Eclipsepaw was speaking to Maplepaw, who'd just entered the camp. Cloudwisp sighed. I shouldn't hesitate like that. As deputy, it was important that she make the right decisions as quickly as possible. She'd have to make sure that she acted in time whenever another similar situation happened. Her minty green gaze shifted to the camp entrance when Rosestar walked in. Cloudwisp hoped that the ThunderClan leader hadn't noticed her moment of hesitation.

Rockybolt padded into the camp, his brown gaze settling onto Rosestar as soon as he noticed her. He looked back at Ghost before leading the way over to the ThunderClan leader. He dipped his head to her in respect. "Hello, Rosestar," he began. "When we were patrolling the RiverClan border we ran into Crystalheart, or, rather, Ghost," he said. "Ghost would like to know if she can rejoin ThunderClan." Rockybolt hoped that Ghost didn't mind him explaining the situation to Rosestar; he didn't know if she would have rather done that herself. He gave a glance back at Ghost before looking back to Rosestar. Although the ginger-furred leader had a quick temper, Ghost was a previous Clanmate, and Rockybolt didn't think that she would get upset over Ghost's request.
