They should have named you Mudflower (Nugget)

[Clemintine]

StormMist glared as she stalked away from Bramblestar, what on earth did he want with Jayflower of all warriros, he should have wanted herself instead of her annoying little sister. The she-cat thrashed her tail back and forth as she headed out into the woods, she would show her, being wanted by the leader how dare she.  StormMist had placed piles of mud on a piney tree branch that was close to the ground with a devious smirk on her face she returned to the Clan to find her sister. The She-cat's pelt stood out being bright with with misty dark clouds all over it, her pale green eyes searched for a cat that almost looked like her, and of course she would be smiling and playing with a kit, ugh.

StomMist walked over to her sister thrashing her fluffy tail back and forth "Jayflower, Bramblestar wants you at the weeping willow tree" she added a forceful smile and sounded flirtatious like it was some big thing. She watched as her sister got surprised with wide eyes and headed out of the camp, however, StormMist was one step ahead of her, she got behind the tree the tip of the branch in her mouth, she struggled to keep it pulled back with the weight of the mud making it somewhat easier.

Jayflower smiled sweetly as she lifted the tip of her feathery tail as a kit batted at it, she lowered it and watched as the kit disappeared under it and gave a laugh, her sister interrupted them and she couldn't help but notice the smile on StormMists face 'Wonder what she did now.. "Jayflower, Bramblestar wants you at the weeping willow tree" What?! The leader, Jayflower eyes widened and she stood up quickly running out of the camp's clearing, it must be important if the leader needed her.

Her mind wondered as she thought of what could have possible happened, maybe a fire! Or maybe.. maybe it was wolves?!?... Did wolves live around here... Maybe it was an attack from- Suddenly something very heavy and painful whacked her int he face and sent her rolling backwards. She felt dazed as she squinted her eyes open seeing her sister standing in front of her laughing "They should have named you Mudflower!!" She quickly ran away laughing. Jayflower shook her head gently as she got to her paws "Mudflower? What? She glanced down and saw her paws covered in mud, she twitched an ear and felt the weight of mud on them. No. no, she didn't Jayflower glanced back seeing her medium length fur spotted in chucks of mud, not to mention little pointy pine leaves all over her. 

Jayflower laid her ears back, so there was no fire? No big war against wolves or another Clan? So Bramblestar didn't need her after all. Jayflower groaned as she turned around staring in the direction of the Clan, she stood there for a moment before glancing back towards a water source, she should probably wash off first, she would never hate her sister but sometimes she could be a handful.

"Ah, hello, Stormmist. Could you tell your sister that I'd like to meet her in my den?" Bramblestar had greeted the she-cat and padded off to his den after making his request, not seeing the scowl upon Stormmist's face as she walked away. Bramblestar was thinking about giving her sister, Jayflower, an apprentice during the upcoming ceremonies, but he couldn't ever recall being put on a patrol with Jayflower whenever he had decided to go out on one. Due to this, Bramblestar wasn't too sure of her skill set and which kit would make the best fit for her to mentor. Since Stormmist was Jayflower's sister--almost identical at that, the tom assumed that they usually knew where each other were and his message could be easily relayed. Jayflower would enter his den, Bramblestar would tell her why he wanted to see her, and then they could venture into the territory for the evaluation.

but things do not always go as planned. Bramblestar waited in his den for quite a while before his patience began to wear thin. He padded out from beneath the rock with a frown upon his face and scanned the camp. No Stormmist or Jayflower in sight. However, he did see someone else he knew, the kit of his former apprentice and a friend, and figured it might be worth a shot to see if Maplepaw had spotted one of the two cats he was searching for. "Hello, Maplepaw," he approached the young she-cat, the frown erased from his features. She looked up from her grooming and replied, "H-hello, Bramblestar."

"I apologize for disturbing you, but have you seen Stormmist or Jayflower, by any chance?"

"Uhm...yes! I saw them leaving camp a little while ago."

"Do you know where they went?"

"I think I remember one of them saying something about the willow."

"All right. Thank you," Bramblestar finished and marched out of the camp entrance. He didn't know why the sisters were going to the willow, whether it was Stormmist who had told Jayflower to go to the wrong place or Jayflower who had decided that a meeting with her leader wasn't important enough for her time, but Bramblestar was not going to sit around and wait for them to be done with their games.

He found Jayflower before even reaching the willow. She was standing alone with her fur covered in mud and pine needles. Bramblestar called, picking his way over to the she-cat with eyes blazing, "Jayflower! I've been looking for you!" If she couldn't treat her leader with proper respect, maybe she didn't deserve an apprentice this moon. "Is playing in the mud more important to you than a meeting with your leader?" he demanded.

Jayflower shook her head trying to fling some of the mud from her fluffy pelt but of course it wasn't budging an inch, she turned to walk towards a stream when a deep voice called at her name, she instantly knew who it was and froze

"Jayflower! I've been looking for you!"

She whipped around and stared at her leader slightly shocked, so he had been looking for her! She began to stammer trying to keep up with his reactions "Bramblestar! I kn-know I was ab-" "Is playing in the mud more important to you than a meeting with your leader?" She laid her ears back, she hadn't been playing in the mud! What kind of warrior did she think he was?.. well from his view.. a bad one. It was her sister! She flung the mud on her.. but she couldn't tell Bramblestar that what would she gain from that? Her sister had enough trouble as it was. "No sir," She bowed her head and felt her face grow hot as a clump of mud splatted onto the ground falling from the top of her head "StarClan.. just stop." "I'm sorry Bramblestar it won't happen again.." She didn't like to get in trouble, it just wasn't her thing she didn't know how her sister could handle it.

She lifted her head slowly and began to explain herself a bit better "I was on my way to meet you.. at the willow tree" she didn't say anything about the mud, she wouldn't lie but she also wouldn't unnecessarily rat her sister out for smacking her in the face with mud, her ear twitched at the annoying thought. She stood there as slowly clumps of mud that wasn't stuck to her fur slid and plopped onto the ground, her ears seemed to lay back farther each time, she glanced up at Bramblestar waiting his orders.

Bramblestar hadn't meant to cut Jayflower off like he did, but his patience and temper had been growing shorter and shorter in the recent moons. He was still upset with TalonClan for stealing his warriors and was still not yet fully recovered from his son Falconpaw's death. On top of all that, Mothcloud had just disappeared recently, similar to Flamestar in the moons before the tom became leader, so he was now the one to have to wake up early every morning and assign patrols. Mothcloud was a good deputy and it would be difficult to replace her, especially now that Bramblestar had doubts about the loyalties of almost every one of his remaining warriors. He had thought the cats who had left for TalonClan were loyal. It turned out they were not. but since many warriors had decided to stay in MidnightClan, that at least proved something, right? For those reasons, Bramblestar was taking extra time and precaution in making his decision of the next MidnightClan deputy.

"Good," Bramblestar said in an authoritative tone as Jayflower bowed her head, clumps of mud sliding from her fur to the ground, and voiced her apologies. The she-cat then slowly raised her gaze, and her next words actually surprised the dark tabby. "Dear StarClan, why at the willow tree? I told Stormmist to tell you to meet me in...my den." Bramblestar's mew took on a note of understanding at his last two words. Stormmist was known for the spiteful pranks she played, the target of them more often than not being Jayflower. "Your sister just wasted our time with her mouse-brained games," he growled, lashing his tail a single time, "I may need to have a word with her later about how a mature warrior should act."

His voice lost a bit of its harshness as he looked back to Jayflower and sat down, tail tip patting rhythmically against the ground. "Go get yourself cleaned off in the stream and we can have our discussion out here."

Jayflower stood a mere two tail lengths from her leader, she stood straight while her tail was slightly tucked showing respect for him as he talk to her, she held her ears backwards keeping them close to her head as the mud began to harden on her face. She watched quietly as he slowly began to realize the truth, her chin tilted up more giving him a mature look, a more warrior like look who served for her leader. It wasn't her place to "tattle" and she knew he was smart enough to figure it out, her left ear twitched slightly as his tail lashed out in anger but she kept her calm face as her light green eyes rested on her leader. She listened to Bramblestar contuine on about her sister and then bowed her head once he spoke to her. 

She turned and headed to the stream that was just in eyesight, once approaching it her tail trembled slightly hate water.. she stood there for a second almost pacing at the edge of the stream It's not even an inch of water! Just go he is right there!  she breathed in and then leaped into the stream -Like it was some deep hole of water and she would splash into it- when her paws barely even made the tiniest bit of water come up she looked.. rather funny like a small kit jumping on a grasshopper. Her ears swiveled forward and twitched in annoyance feeling like her leaders eyes were burning into the back of her head, she didn't dare glance back and see. Jayflower shook her fur flinging some of the mud off before laying on her side in the water, she rolled over onto her back and squirmed back and forth before rolling over onto her other side getting most of the mud off. 

Now all she had to do was stick her face in the water, standing up Jayflower gave her fur another shake this time flinging water from it and causing her fluffy fur to get a bit of curl to it -the thing she hated most, if she didn't sit there and groom her fur it would kink up and turn all weird and wavy. She glanced down at the water and stuck her nose close to it sniffing it slightly before exhaling deeply. The she-cat placed her face in the water allowing the gentle stream to wash away to mud. Once she had finished she stood up and walked back over to Bramblestar allowing her soft green eyes to glance at him "I'm sorry for my sister" she bowed her head once more.
