Mousewhisker sat in a pool of warm sunlight by the fresh-kill pile. She was grooming her pure white chest, licking the ruffled hairs flat. Suddenly, her brother, Wolfhowl, padded up with a mouse in his jaws. He dropped it on the fresh-kill pile and suddenly, without warning, he swished his tail against Mousewhisker's chest, ruffling her fur where she had just licked.
"Hey! Wolfhowl!" she meowed, getting to her paws.
"It was the wind, you know, it's kinda breezy out today," Wolfhowl replied with a sly smile.
Mousewhisker shook her head, but smiled. "Why don't you go bother someone else?" she meowed, grinning. She looked around and spotted their friend, Rapidglance.
"Hey, Rapidglance! Over here!" she called, waving her tail in greeting.
Wolfhowl found a squirrel in the fresh-kill pile and began to eat it. "Whatever, your chest is still all messed up. It looks really bad." he meowed, smiling.
Mousewhisker turned to her brother and cuffed him roughly on the head, messing up his fur and making it look all fuzzed up on his head. She narrowed her eyes and grinned. "Well, your head's not looking too good, either." She laughed, then turned back to Rapidglance.

The light pale rays of dawn dappled the TimberClan camp, one of them landing on Pinefrost, the medicine cat. He never really slept inside of his den; it was enough for him to squeeze into it besides curling up in it. His brown tabby fur alighted, the tom woke up, shifting slightly in his makeshift den of moss, causing some of it to crumble to the ground. I'll fix that up later.. he thought, his jaws gaping in a yawn. His amber eyes stared over the camp, though some of the dead trees blocked his way. Seems like a few warriors are already awake.. And are causing a ruckus.. Really, it seemed like warriors acted like a couple of adventurous kits that found a brightly colored butterfly at some times, especially at dawn. Pinefrost got up and got out of his moss nest, curving his body into a stretch before shaking out scraps of moss from his pelt. For a moment he stayed still, not really knowing what to do. Thornkit probably wasn't up right now, since it was only dawn; he'd give him his meal once the kit wakes up, but not now. The medicine cat slithered, still tired from staying up late, to the fresh-kill pile, neatly picking out a mouse for himself. It was a good thing that TimberClan was so thick with fresh-kill when the territory offered such little plants. "Good morning, Rapidglance, Wolfhowl, Mousewhisker," he greeted them, his eyes slightly narrowed, but more open. Without another word he took a bite of the mouse, which was cold since it had been caught the day earlier; would it still be called "fresh"-kill now? |

Mousewhisker whipped around to see the medicine cat, Pinefrost, right next to her and her brother.
"Oh, hi, Pinefrost! How are things going for you?" she meowed happily.
Wolfhowl nodded a greeting to the medicine cat, his mouth full of mouse. He swallowed quickly, then meowed, "How's it going, Pinefrost?"

Rapidglance heard her name called, looking to see Mousewhisker, Wolfhowl, and Pinefrost. She smiled, padding ytowards them. Her pelt changed from light to dark, her eyes from powder-blue to nearly white as she walked towards them, passing through the many rays of pale morning light. "
good morning, Wolfhowl, Mousewhisker, Pinefrost." As she said the last name she dipped her head with respect, then lay down between Woldhowl and Mousewhisker. "Nice head, Wolfhowl." She added, referring to Mousewhisker's revenge on it.

Wolfhowl turned and glared at Rapidglance, but he had to laugh. He licked his paw and rubbed it vigorously over his head, just making things worse. Mousewhisker laughed.
"Nice going, Wolfhowl." she meowed, settling beside Rapidglance.

Rapidglance giggled. "There, that looks much better." She mewed sincerely, hoping her would keep it that way. Then she grabbed a mouse from the freshkill pile, drinking in the wonderful scent. I was cold, since it was yesterday's mouse, but that was to be expected since no one had hunted yet today.

Mousewhisker breathed in deeply. There was only a bluejay, a small rabbit, and a tiny vole left on the pile, and they were all from yesterday. The she-cat figured she'd rather be hungry for a while longer than eat something cold, and her paws were itching to hunt.
Standing up, she meowed, "You guys want to hunt when you're finished? That way we can help feed the Clan and get some warm, fresh prey in our bellies."
Wolfhowl stood, chewing his last mouthful of mouse. "I'm all for it," he meowed finally, licking his lips. "Some new prey would be good, and I've been meaning to - " he paused, stretching and flexing his claws. "Stretch my claws," he finished.
Mousewhisker flicked him with her tail. "Stop acting like you're the only cat here with claws," she meowed, giggling.

The small mouse Rapidglance had picked was quickly finished, and she stood as well. "I'd love to. We definately could use more prey." Her blue eyes quickly flickered to the measly fres-kill pile, then back to her friends. She then glanced at Wolfhowl and added, with a smile, "I suppose I could streatch my claws as well."

"I'm doing fine, I guess," Pinefrost mumbled thickly; after all, his mouth was full of cold fresh-kill. The medicine cat's mind wandered once more over to the kit, and not queen, in the nursery. Taking a swallow, he also added, "Yea, can you get some fresh-kill for Hickorytail and Thornkit? I doubt he can eat some yet, but at least Hickorytail should eat; she shouldn't leave Thornkit today." |

Mousewhisker turned to Pinefrost. "Of course," she meowed, smiling and nodding. "We'll get them some prey, first thing."
Wolfhowl nodded. "We'll bring you some fresh prey, too," he meowed, the thought dawning on him just then. He was happy that he had offered that and he hadn't been rude-sounding.

Ghostheart was padding back inside camp. Since the night was gone and her gaurding was over she went back to sleep for another night hunt. She tried to stay out of the light so that it wouln't shine in her face. Even thought she wasn't clan born she had grown use to the dark like the rest of her clanmates. But she also stayed out of the light so her clanmates wouldn't be blinded by her pure white fur. And then probably speak about her rouge blood. But she grew very use to that. But still she feared that they thought she would end up like Fernstripe and banish her too.

WinterStorm sat silently, thinking of her past, trying to remember her past. Still she couldn't remember. Her gray ears and gray paws were light so not very noticeable against her frosty white fur. She sighed, no matter what she couldn't remember. She just knew there had to be a way to find her past. She opened her drak brown eyes, and looked around. She looked at her paws, 'why can't i remember?' She thought sadly. 'My kit moons, and first few apprentice moons are blank...but why?' She thought, her eyes were filled with sadness. But she wiped it away quickly, 'I just have to look forward, and think positive!' She thought happily.

A bush by the entrance of the camp rustled with crinkling leaves. Ruggedclaw TimberClan's deputy padded quietly out and into the camp. A fine sized rabbit was dangling from his jaws, he bounded over to the fresh-kill pile and let it flop out of his mouth. He sat back and flicked his tongue across his mouth, then gave his chest a quick lick, smoothing down his dark tabby fur. He looked up skyward and his pelt soaked up the sunlight's rays, his eyes shown as the light reflected of his amber eyes, seeming to make them glow as they would in the dead of night. He glanced around at all the awoken cats and smiled. |

"No need to; I already have eaten. I'll be full until later at twilight," Pinefrost said as he finished the last bit of his mouth. He unsheathed his claws, scraping up the soft ground a bit, scattered the bones of the mouse into the small hole, and dug it back up. He hated the mess of bones that usually laid around forgotten. It's about time I collected some herbs.. the medicine cat thought, his eyes set blankly in front of him. He was sure he smelled a whiff of ragwort before, which would become very useful in case of some wounds, and if he was lucky he would find goldenrod too. Not all of TimberClan was looked through yet, so what herbs were there were still unknown. |

"Alright then, Pinefrost." Rapidglance mewed. She watched him for a momentb as he buried his prey - that was sometthing shwe was trying to get in the habit of dong, but she often forgot. But the thought didn't hold her attencion for long. "Are we going, then?" She mewed, already padding toward the fallen log sloping into the camp that was both thje warrior's den and the way out.
