Newpaw was stumped. He didn't have a clue as to do to make Ethre happy. He saw Marblepaw turing to leave and called over " Where are you going?" Marblepaw turned and replied, "There isn't enough thyme, so I thought I'd go get some." "I'll do that, I'll meet you three back at camp." Marblepaw nodded as she stuffed a giant roll of moss into her mouth to carry back. Newpaw raced of into the forest and stopped at the narrowist part of the river boundary. He shook himself and lept over halfway and trucged up the rest. He picked up speed again as he followed the faint scent of cats. suddenly he burst through a screen of bushes and landed in a heap. Newpaw stood and felt a twist of happiness and fear as he found himself in Ravenclan camp. He felt the pressence of a starclan cat as Riversong whispered in his ear "This place was Ethre's home, she might find comfort in it's beauty...." Newpaw blinked to get him back to the present. "Beauty huh? I'll bring back some beauty for her, other than me!" He joked, then turned serious as he scavenged around the camp for beautiful things. It was nearly sunset When Newpaw snuck into camp unseen. He crawled into the empty apprentence den and started decorating. He sighed at the mounds of moss around the den and lined the nests with the feathers of the two birds he'd caught. Next he took a branch covered with shiny purple berries and placed it over the ached entrance. He had found countless flowers in the other territory and stuck them inbetween the four nests as a fragrent and colorful border. When he had gotton the thyme he had picked a few sprigs of lavender and mixed them with the flowers. Looking breifly around the the den and quickly outside to make sure no one was coming he picked out a tuft of fur from his claws. The fur had come from deep inside a scary cave in the camp. It had smelled like the Starclan cat that had spoken to him. He genlty spread the fur between mudd and ethres nests. With a sigh, Newpaw picked up the stripped birds and thyme and snuck out of the den to distribute his prey and herbs. He felt confident that no one had noticed his secret surprise.

ooc: Shadow is really sick. ;_; She has some kind of parasite, has a horrible cough, has been losing a lot of weight (I think she's around 6 pounds), won't eat much or drink, and has a fever...I had to use a syringe to force water into her mouth today. D: I'll let you know if she gets better or worse. (Cookie and Medkins are fine.)
bic:
"Ready to go back?" Mudd meowed to Ethre, who nodded in response. The two carried huge wads of moss each and Mudd especially struggled to walk right with it all. They eventually did get back, and deposited their heap by the leader's den. "Thanks," Charcoalstar meowed as he padded towards them. He smiled at them and Ethre smiled alittle back as they began to the refresh the bedding. "Don't worry about the old stuff, I'll take it away," he meowed, licking both the tyros on the head appreciatively. "Thanks, Mudd meowed, scooping up some more moss and carrying it off with Ethre towards their own den. Mudd hesitated at the entrance, scenting something odd, and her mute sister did as well, but more because of the the site than anything else. Newpaw must have done this.
She set her moss down and padded into the den, feeling appreciative and warm, surprised that the apprentice would have done so much for her. She padded among the nests, stopping when she found a tuft of fur. She closed her eyes, recognizing the scent of it. Why Riversong? Why did this have it happen? Why did Ravenstar have to be like that? She still loved her father despite what he'd done, and so it hurt her that it was only Riversong's fur in the den. But she understood it. Lifting her wet eyes she stared back into Mudd's sightless eyes. Tell him thank you. Mudd could feel the emotion coming from Ethre and she nodded. "I will," she meowed though she wasn't sure what he, whoever he was, had done.

Marblepaw couldn't see over her pile of moss. She walked right into Foxwit as he finished tucking in a stalk of bramble. The fussy warrior fell and snarrled "Hey!, watch it apprentence, I'll make you get mouse bile or something.." Marblepaws' ears jerked down and she lowered her head to show submission. "sorry foxwit, it wont happen again" and she hurried through the passage and spread the moss neatly around the warriors den. She stretched and flounded into the apprentence den. Her fur was still hot from Foxwit's scorn that she had curled up into her bed before she realized what had happened. She shot staight up and gazed around like a kit until she'd managed to shut her mouth properly. "Whooooaaaaahhh" she finally managed to mutter. "Did you two do this?" she asked the sisters.

Newpaw lay limp on his birch branch and watched the river flow by. After his body was numb with the cold he padded down and back on the ground. He looked at the ground around his birch tree and sighed. The moss wasn't perfect anymore. It was worth it though, he thought as the white cat sprinted down his memorised path. He sat outside the barrier until he had regained his breath. It was just begining to get dark. Newpaw carfully slunk into camp and stared twords the apprentecne den.

ooc: Yeah...It was sudden. She was 9, but we didn't have her since she was a kitten. Maybe we had her for 5 years. I don't think you need to come down...er, up. I want to get over it and dwelling on her death is just gonna make me cry and feel worse. I'm feeling better today. I hope Cookie and Meadow don't get depressed. It happened to a cat we had before, but it was her only friend that died.
(I'll post after school, I need to finish breakfast.)

Dragontooth weaved a bramble tendral into the barrior and slapped Foxwit with his tail. "Quit being nasty, she couldn't see where she was going" Foxwit huffed and turned back to his patch of bramble. Dragontooth took a fir branch and began to sweep away the thorns and other debis that they had dragged in.

Willowrain woke and found a pile of thyme, from Marblepaw she scented. The curer organised the herbs and padded from the den. The sky was darkening. Hmp! she thought, she'd just woken up.

"No," Mudd meowed, and Ethre shook her head. "It must have been Newpaw, if it wasn't you," she continued. Her mute sister glanced up and nodded.

Marblepaw smiled and giggled "He likes you!" she mocked to Ethre. "Have you thanked him yet?" The apprentence's eyes widened as she waited for the answer. -------------------------- Newpaw heard Marblepaw inside and his stamach got all queasy. He padded over to the barrior again and curled up beside a big TALL growth of FERNs. he rested his head on his paws and stared into the dark forest ahead of him. His ears suddenly pricked. Every muscle was tensed and coiled to flare into the night. A disturbace outside had Newpaw serching for something he senced nearby.
ooc- HInt hint nudge *cough* that's about as best of a grand entrance as I can make!

Ethre blushed and shook her head. "Where is he?" Mudd meowed for her. Ethre didn't wait for the answer though, and padded out of the den, looking around for him. She spotted the tom by some ferns and padded over, Mudd in tow, though she wasn't very comfortable. The mute she-cat nudged her sister. "Um, Ethre wants to say thank you," she meowed, feeling weird.
Ethre bit her lip, trying not to laugh because Mudd wasn't looking in the right direction.

Newpaw bolted two feet in the air and shook his head as he looked over his shoulder "Must have been some prey..." he thought. Then what Mudd had said hit him. He swallowed and mewed "It was nothing... I just wanted to spruce up the place for y..the apprentences and ummm, did... did you like it?" His eyes looked up ans the stars sone in them as he gazed at Ethre and held his breath. --------------------------------- Marblepaw peeked over the side of the den wall and used epic force to conceal her excitment as she watched Newpaw fluff up to Ethre.

ooc: 'epic force' xDD bic:
Ethre nodded in response, amused by his stumbling over his words. It was clear to her that he liked her, was the tom blind? She had noticed him constantly trying to impress and woo her.
"Yes," Mudd meowed a little hesitantly. She could see that there way something else Ethre wanted to say, but she couldn't guess what it was.
Ethre was frustrated at herself and Mudd, wishing she could talk. If Newpaw wanted to be her mate--How am I supposed to be anyone's mate if I can't talk!?
-x-
Charcoalstar padded over to the fresh-kill pile and picked up a rabbit. He padded over to his coleader and dropped it at her feet. "Want to share?" he meowed.
Mistedstar slowly consented, unsure about his gesture. Nonetheless, the two ate it and then Charcoalstar proceeded to take away and bury the remains. Awfully nice of him. She felt bad for thinking all the derogatory things she had about UccelloClan. Maybe they weren't half bad.

Marblepaw couldn't contain herself any longer and let out a long drawn out stuttering moan. She pushed her face into the earth and tried to keep quiet. 'Woooo, Hooooo." she sighed as she wiped her eyes with her tail.
