(Royalpack)
"Everyone better be on their best behavior. We don't know when they will return; is this understood?" Heather was looking right into the eyes of a young gray tabby tom. Silver backed up slightly ever since his sisters had both died, Emerald and Jasmine, he had been such a rude cat. He didn't mean to it was just, he was falling apart.
Holly walked over and put her tail on her apprentice. "It's okay."
"I know..." Silver said sadly.
Yew walked up to his sister, Holly, and her apprentice. Followed by the two brothers Eagle and Falcon who has just joined the group of their pack peers. Heather looked down at her pack and then sighed, "I want everyone to pair up in groups of three. Practice your battle moves and all techniques possible on each other. No claws will be out though.. if we have injuries it's going to only harm everyone. Split!" She jumped from from her tree and waited till everyone was settled.
Holly, Yew, and Silver got into one group. While Falcon, Eagle, and Jay, got in another. Frog poked his tail at his brother, Toad, and walked over to the she-cat Kiwi. Melon pranced over to Robin and were joined by Leopard. Light, Dark, and Brittle got into another; which left Star, Tiger, and Heather for the final grouping. Each group went out into different directions.
Holly ran out and was followed by her sister and Silver. Holly skidded to a halt and turned around to paw Silver straight in the face. Silver gave a growl and flipped in the air onto his teacher's back. Yew jumped and knocked the tom right of her sister. To end up pinning him to floor. "Well, done Silver," and she gave a grin before slapping him in the face, which Silver blocked with his paw and flipped her over to pin her. "You've gained strength. You've taught him well Holly."
"Thank sis," she purred before flipped to knock her off. Silver got his chance and bolted to a rock, but Holly ran after him. The tom back-flipped off the rock and kicked her in the face with his hind paws. Holly screeched and fell back.
Silver gasped, "Are you okay Miss Holly!?" Holly grinned and span on her fore-legs to kick him in the gut with her hind.
"Never keep yourself unguarded."
"Obviously..." Silver got tackled from the side by Yew.
Yew chuckled, "And watch all sides."
The tom sighed and lifted himself back up, "Why do we have to help these cats anyways??"
Holly and Yew stopped and looked to each other. "Well," Holly started, "the cat who was taken away asked us to get his family for help. We gave our honor... and with that we must uphold it."
"But why... I mean we accepted to help even when we don't know the brat," Silver said stubbornly.
Yew stepped forward, "This could also be our chance to get back at the Kingdoms for forgetting about us."
Silver growled, "So we're using the clan to get revenge yet... we're doing this to keep our honor code. I don't find how this fits in with our code."
"It doesn't in many ways," Holly put her head down with a sigh. The sky was setting by the time they finished. The three cats slowly clambered into their camp. Silver looked into the sky with sad eyes, but yet determined. He didn't like using the clan cats for their dirty work, but he understood it would be the best choice in the end. For all of the cats.
(Journey cats)
Newblood looked forward and looked up 'may the kingdom of the heavens, our ancestors, and Starclan all look over us. We've gathered all together for one cause. bless us and keep as many as possible safe.' he gave the silent prayer to the sky and padded ahead leading his new friends to victory.
Icefur walked up to Newblood, "Are you sure this is the right way?"
"This is the way that the Pack cats are bringing us. So I hope so."
Damon looked behind him, "Not too much longer maybe a days journey or so left."
"Thank Starclan!" Flametail mumbled while he walked along. His pads were starting to crack from the journey. Didn't help that Icefur and him kept leaving their power marks were ever they went. They realized a few of their clan members had sun and moon powers. Were ever Flametail stepped a scorch mark was left; while Icefur kept leaving frost were she stepped.
Moonpelt was having a hard time trying to think with everyone around him he kept on he knew his brother was ahead he turned to look at Icefur, "I know this is the way! I don't know how much longer but he's there!"
"I hope so Moonpelt."
Cliffrock lifted his paw, "Can we rest it feels like we've walked two whole moons."
Riverfall nodded, "I think we should!"
Birdleaf smirked, "We have been traveling for two moons."
Goldsoul laughed and turned to Newblood, "We should rest."
"Okay, but we need to hunt for a bit. Build up some strength," the tom looked at Icefur, and then glanced away. Twistheart and Flametail stood together ready to hunt.
Falconclaw caught a shrew and a black bird for him and Bloodstone. The medicine cat gave a nod to him in thanks. Bloodstone looked at the cats gathered around. "If any of you need any medical help, now is the time to let me know while we`re stopped," the tuxedo tom looked around waiting for any responses.
Cliffrock got up and caught a mouse not too soon after getting into forest with some of the group.Moonpelt went off 'How can they sit around!We're almost there!' he thought to himself he caught a squirrel and a mouse before returning.Rosemoon had caught two mice, one which she shared with Salmon. Who was very grateful.
Riverfall caught a mouse and laid down slowly against a tree. She didn't touch her mouse though. Cliffrock sniffed her and ran to Bloodstone, "I think something is wrong with Riverfall!"
Bloodstone sniffed Riverfall. She seemed to just have a fever. "Are you feeling well?" He asked the she-cat.
"I feel sick..."
He gave a grunt and ran off, soon returning with feverfew. "Here." He pushed the herb towards Riverfall. "Eat this."
Cliffrock looked at Riverfall. who seemed out of it, "Eat the herbs he brought you."
"Thanks Bloodstone," she meowed while finally noticing the herbs. Slowly she gnawed at the herbs.
Cliffrock rested his tail tip on her side, "Why don't you get some sleep." The she-cat sighed and closed her eyes. The top turned to Bloodstone, "Will she be better by sun-high?"
"It depends on if her fever goes down. If it hasn't by the time she wakes up, I will give her something else." The tom gave a weary smile
"Oh....,"Cliffrock laid down, "Then I guess we sleep here... "
Flametail walked forward to Bloodstone's area, but waited for him to check on Riverfall first. Jayjewel walked over to her son, "We'll be at Royalpack soon. Then there will only be one more Moon's journey after we get there. And we'll be reunited with Sunpaw."
Moonpelt sighed and looked at his mom and sighed, "I want to be back home. I want Sunpaw there too.."
"Shhh, we'll be reunited soon," his mother said putting her tail on his shoulder.
Moonpelt sighed, "I'll stand guard first."
"I'm keeping guard on this side," Came Goldosul's voice from a tree.
"Thanks Goldsoul," Moonpelt smiled and turned his head.
"You're welcome Moon." Goldsoul still didn't get the idea of calling cats by their full names as the clan cats did.
"I'll guard next," Rosemoon spoke up happily.
Twistheart walked up the Birdleaf, "It's nice to be back on talking terms with you."
"Sometimes you have to put the past behind us. You're still a brother to me Twist."
"I'm glad to hear that Bird," Twistheart said with a purr.
Newblood walked over to Icefur and sat next to her. She leaned her head on his shoulder and looked out. Damon, Damian, Shark, and Salmon sat together with their fresh kill. Everyone seemed pretty content with the rest. Goldsoul stood in a tree watching everything around like a guard. The night past along with the sounds of the forest. By morning Rosemoon and Jayjewel were standing guard, and the sounds of birds filled the air. And by sunhigh all the cats sat around in a circle like form.
Bloodstone walked over to the group of cats, herbs filled his mouth. He dropped the leaves by the paws of all the cats. "Here, these are strengthening herbs." The tom watched the cats to make sure they ate them. Bloodstone walked over to Riverfall, "How do you feel today?"
"Much better."
Cliffrock gulped, "Well enough to travel."
The she-cat rolled her eyes, "Yes, I'll be okay."
Newblood and the rest of the group finished eating befor treveling father on. about three hours later they came to a small canyon. From above you could see a small forest. "Down there!" came Damon's voice.
Salmon and Shark looked joyously at each other before rushing down the not too steep hill side down to the small forest. Damion looked at the group, "Royal Pack is right down there. We'll stalk up there grab the rest of the Pack. And when we're ready... about a two days journey to the Kingdoms."
"From there... we fight to bring Sunpaw home," Goldsoul said with pride. Newblood, Birdleaf, and Twistheart looked at each other. They smiled at thinking of going back to the kingdoms. Yet... there was also a grave fear intertwined in them.
Moonpelt couldn't wait they where almost there! All they had to do was get Sunpaw and leave! But how hard would it be...
Heather saw Salmon first and smiled widely, "You've returned!" The she-cat waited until everyone was in her camp and then smiled broadly, "Welcome clan cats."
Moonheart looked up, "Greetings..." Rosemoon looked up then back at everyone else.
"Whoa... this could be harder then we thought......" Riverfall thought out loud to herself. Cliffrock joined her and then looked up at the leader
Heather looked at everyone with happiness, "I'm so glad to see you've all made it." She looked around and caught eyes with Goldsoul, "Gold? Where's Shadow?"
The golden tabby sighed and looked at his leader, "She stayed behind, she would never had made this journey when she was about to have her kits. It's was Jay's idea, and we all agreed."
"We plan to bring her, and her kits if they want to, back here," Jayjewel spoke up.
Silver stood next to Holly and Yew. Slowly Tiger, Leopard, Dark, Light, Jay, Robin, Brittle, Star, Kiwi, Mellon, Toad, Frog, Eagle, and Falcon came out of their dens.
Birdleaf, Newblood, Icefur, Flametail, and Twistheart looked from one another to their fellow clanmates. So many cats in one place like this. It was almost like being within Tigerclan's camp.
"Everyone better be on their best behavior. We don't know when they will return; is this understood?" Heather was looking right into the eyes of a young gray tabby tom. Silver backed up slightly ever since his sisters had both died, Emerald and Jasmine, he had been such a rude cat. He didn't mean to it was just, he was falling apart.
