WhisperClan Patrols (OPEN)

[Lionhearted]

Snowflakes fell lightly from the crisp blue sky, and Thrushleap smiled at the beauty of it; it was like tiny flower petals falling from a massive, invisible tree. The snow on the ground made his paws wet, and he shivered slightly at the coldness of it. The fresh-kill pile was still stocked, but it was bound to grow smaller as leaf-bare settled in completely. 

Thrushleap stood in the snow, raising his muzzle, and called out: "All those available to go on patrols, please gather 'round me. The fresh-kill pile is going to be diminishing," he said, flicking his tail towards the pile of food. "We need to catch more prey to support ourselves through this coldness. We also want to secure the border with StormClan. I want two hunting patrols and a border patrol, which I will lead. 

"Times are going to be hard," Thrushleap continued, his face growing grimmer. "We must be strong, and prevail. We are WhisperClan. We must work harder through the coldness which holds us back. Once again, I require everyone to be a credit to the Clan. You cannot slack off in leaf-bare. We need all the hardworking spirits we can get, and with your help, we can successfully pull through another leaf-bare. We need to show how strong we are to the other Clans and, most importantly, to ourselves. Do not give up, warriors! Fight the sickness! Fight the leaf-bare! Do it for the Clan! Do it for yourselves!

"For today, I want two cats who are willing to lead the hunting patrols. The first patrol shall go to Mouse Ridge, while the second will head to the Rabbit Sets. Please be aware that predators are also going to be looking for prey, and everyone needs to be extremely careful. I don't want anyone chasing blindly over prey, all right? Let it go if you see foxes or badgers approaching. The last thing we need is injuries and greencough." his stern gaze swept the growing crowd, and landed briefly upon the younger apprentices. "Now, let's get organized."

Small paws, a petite frame and beautiful tawny fur appeared amongst the cats. Big brown eyes blinked at the falling snow. Cold, wet kisses tickled her as the snowflakes danced round her face. She flicked her ears at Thrushleap's encouragement. The deputy's words seemed to be helping the cats with lowered spirits. "May I accompany you on the border patrol Thrushleap?" a soft voice and a puff of white. Her whiskers reached forward, long feathery tail waving back and forth in the cold air.

Helping her clan was always Lightningheart's top priority. The she-cat had spent many days hunting and training her apprentices. This was a good time to share another responsibility. A little change. She had been lucky enough not to get sick -yet. She'd help out as long as her health allowed her to. Perhaps even further.

Mudsplash yawned widely. His fangs glinting in the dim lighting. Thrushleap's voice had awakened the chocolate and white tom. The warrior shook himself awake and stretched himself in a forward bend. His muscles moving beneath his short pelt.

He stepped his chocolate paws out of his little burrow in the snow. He had been investigating the substance most of the night and had burrowed outside the warriors den to sleep. It had tasted like water, but colder. Quite refreshing. The tom wished it would appear in greenleaf to relieve them from the heat. but alas, wistful wishing.

Ah...what was it Thrushleap was saying? Patrols? This would be a great excuse to explore! He rushed over to where his deputy was, whiskers shivering in both ecstasy and cold. "I'll join the border patrol if you please." he grinned.
