Sunsetclan PATROLS - ALL

[ℓυиαя]

The sun was rising above the crests of the land, causing the thick canvas of clouds in the sky to be lit up with a warm light. These last few days of leaf-bare had been hard on the Sunsetclan cats and with the wet rain and cold wind, many patrols had had to be pushed back. Today, in this moment of reprieve, they would make up for lost time.

The fresh kill pile was looking rather sad, which wasn't unusual for this time,  and their borders needed re-scented after the unrelenting rain.

Pushing her way out from the Warriors den, Vineheart made her way to the camps entrance where she was in plain view of all those mulling around the camp. She was still new to all this but she also knew what she needed to do for the good of the camp. A full clan was a happy clan and they needed every advantage they could get during this time. Circling around as she reached the entrance, Vineheart curled her long, feathered tail around her paws and looked out over the camp with her frighteningly, scarred face. "All those old enough to join a patrol, meet at the camp entrance now!" A yowl from the usually soft, feminine voice, however it still seemed gentle with its volume. While she waited she thought of what she would need. Possibly two small hunting patrols as prey was scarce.. and depending on how many cats came over, she would have either one or two border patrols. Yes, that would do just nicely.

The sooner these patrols went out the better.

Heronpaw who'd been in the midst of dragging himself away from his warm dry nest, suddenly hears a voice. Vineheart! He thought imagining the rather scary faced deputy, as she called the cats for patrols. It was his chance to get out of the camp. Since the heavy rain and cold had pretty much kept the ever active tom cooped up inside. He was dying to stretch his legs and burn off some of his endless energy. Dashing from the apprentice den, he skitters to a halt before Vineheart. His vivid green gaze bright as ever as he looked at her face. He might of been afraid if he didn't know her to be the deputy of his clan. but she was trusted by Ratstar and the clan so why should her face matter? " Hi Vineheart!" He calls out, his plush pelt puffed up in the cold. " Are we going to patrol the borders today?" He asks her eagerly. " Cause I'll help! " He adds his white tail tip flickering happily as he bounces from foot to foot before the deputy. He had no worries it seemed of embarrassing himself before her. Since being the perfect apprentice had never been apart of his agenda.

Whitepaw was just groom his snow white paw. He woke up early this morning to clean it off, with his dark forest training with Dustheart it was a fight that he never was expecting. but it was good because the young tom was learning fast along with growing as well. He finished cleaning off the paw and he continued to the rest of his dark brown pelt. Thats when he heard the voice of the deputy call out. He just stopped and got up stretching out his sore muscles. He was about to step out of his nest when the flash of gray flew by his nose and he narrowed his eyes slightly as Heronpaw darted out of the den. Heading out after the other apprentice a bit more slowly Whitepaw saw other warriors emerge from the warriors den. He just padded over to Vineheart, but he was no where near as close to the deputy as the other apprentice. He just sat towards the front of the crowd and slightly to the left of where the deputy was standing. He just stood and waited wondering what they deputy would have him doing today. He almost wished that he wouldn't have to be around his mentor Briarfoot but the large apprentice knew that that wasn't happening. I better become a warrior soon cause I'm sick of that tom. He thought simply to himself. He kept his eyes on the deputy and waited for his duties for the day.

Flypelt laid in the warriors den, her clean black pelt slowly rising and falling with each breath. She couldn't help but to be tired, even if she had not had a particularly busy day. She had gone hunting alone for a while earlier, but when she missed two mice she gave up and just went on a walk instead. Usually, she would prefer to have caught quite a lot of prey before heading back, but she was just not in the mood to hunt alone. Maybe she could ask someone to go with her later.

She heard Vineheart's call, and stood immediately. She respected the she-cat, and was glad to have a deputy such as her. The small black she-cat trotted out of the warriors den and waited until Vineheart made her announcement. Her eyes strayed to the apprentices, and silently hoped that she would not be on the same patrol as Heronpaw. He seemed to be more than a little annoying. She would not mind being put with Whitepaw, he seemed much more mature.

Stormrunner walked out of the warriors den and noticed the deputy and a few other cats. Is she organizing patrols? Maybe I should join one... he thought and he walked over. He stood beside his apprentice who seemed to be wanting to go on a patrol. 

"Are you going to go on a patrol?" he asked Heronpaw. "I'd like to go with him, if that's okay," he mewed to Vineheart.

Kestrelflight had been grooming his sleek spotted fur, ruffled from sleep. His eyes were closed in concentration though they flickered open at the call from the deputy. Kestrelflightpushed himself to his paws and trotted over, his spotted ears pricked in interest. He sat near the other cats, his ringed tail wrapping around his paws as he waited for the command.

As the cats gradually responded to her call, Vineheart took in those before her with a thoughtful gaze, nodding and greeting each of them as they arrived. Heronpaw, Whitepaw, Flypelt, Stormrunner and Kestrelflight. All good Sunsetclanners and all eager to help. At this stage there would be 2 patrols, one hunting and one border. Good for the sunrise and she would get more out later towards sunhigh. 

White whiskers twitched. "Thank you. Kestrelflight and Heronpaw, you can carry out a border patrol. Flypelt can you lead a hunting patrol. Stormrunner and Whitepaw will go with you." She paused for a moment thinking it over and then nodded. "Yes, good." That once pretty tabby face looked pleased and the outcome and then stood. "I wish you all luck, especially with the dip in the freshkill pile."

Tigerkit snuck out into the clearing. Oh how he wanted to go on a patrol. He decided that he would just mingle in with the others and follow them. After all, the queens always said he looked more like an apprentice every day. An he was 4 whole moons. He didn't see why he couldn't go on patrols.
The kit slipped into the middle of the crowd, hoping that no one would notice.

[Lightningtrail]

Flypelt felt her ears go hot with embarrassment, and was glad that her black fur covered it up. Me? Leading a patrol? She looked at the other cats. It seemed as though she would be the best cat to lead it. After all, Kestrelflight was going to head out with that little nugget of a cat Heronpaw, and it was obvious that an apprentice couldn't lead, so that left it between her and Stormrunner. And, although she didn't know Stormrunner well, she did remember a couple cats talking about how timid and cowardly he was. A patrol leader needed to be confident in their abilities. Flypelt gave a nod to Vineheart. She would do her best to lead a successful patrol. "Ok, let's go," She mewed seriously, turning towards the camp exit. She didn't even notice the kitten.

((I'll make a thread, and tag the hunting patrol members if that if fine with you all! c:))

[Wolf]

Kestrelflight nodded with a soft purr. "Come on Heronpaw, we've got a lot of territory to check." He mewed, green eyes alight at the thought of leading a border patrol. The spotted tom made his way towards the entrance, flicking his tail in invitation for Heronpaw to follow him.

(I'll make the thread and tag you in it Twineheart ^-^)
