Sneaking In and Ignoring Orders (Finch and Mystic)

[M y s t i c p a w]

Mysticpaw limped into the EarthClan camp. She darted behind the nursery, hoping nobody saw her. He looked up at the moon as it rose higher in the sky. The silverpelt was shining bright, and the only thing you could hear were birds tweeting from the trees. She scented the air, hoping to scent Finchpaw. She hadnt planned coming to EarthClan, but as she told Cinnamonpelt, she couldnt stay away. She silently awaited to see if Finchpaw could tell she was there, and the FrostClan scent was strong from just her being there.

Dragging a large rabbit off of the flourishing fresh-kill pile, the small tom set off toward the nursery. The scent of it was overpowering, and made his mouth water. Finchpaw padded into the den, dropping it on the moss-covered ground. "Here you go," the apprentice mewed gruffly, backing out of it quickly. The taste of the rabbit lingered in his mouth and nose, nearly masking the intruder scent. Nearly.

His soot colored ears pricked, alert and weary. Falling into a crouch, the cat crept around the nursery, all senses alert. In the back of his mind, Finchpaw already had an idea of who the outsider might be. As he drew closer, it became clear that it was, indeed, who he'd thought it was--Mysticpaw. Finchpaw peered into the shadows, making out the medicine cat's shape in the darkness. "Mysticpaw?" he whispered.

"Finchpaw!" Mysticpaw mewed, limping up closer to the tom. She was obviously excited to see him. She was still quick, despite her injured leg, but she wanted to be cautious in case anybody found them.

Fieryheart: Deputy of EarthClan


Fieryheart padded into the Camp with a nice plump mouse and a squirrel in her mouth. She went to the fresh-kill pile and dropped then both onto it. The fresh-kill pile was slightly low and Fieryheart frowned. She would have to send out a Hunting Party later but that could wait. The she-cat saw Finchpaw going behind the nursery. Fieryheart raised an eyebrow in curiosity. She sniffed the air and scented FrostClan. She growled to herself and crept over to Finchpaw and the scent of FrostClan. "What cha doin'?" Fieryheart whispered with a small growl behind it.

(eyebrow??)
Finchpaw

His blue-violet eyes narrowed as Fieryheart approached. Truthfully, she had never been one of the cat's he'd especially liked--even if she was the deputy. Flicking his ears, Finchpaw turned away from Mysticpaw, feeling a hint of excitement that the medicine cat apprentice had come again. "I scented her here," the apprentice stated tartly. "And so I came to confront her."

[M y s t i c p a w]

"Cinnamonpelt just wanted me to see if the kits were ok because you dont have a medicine cat." Mysticpaw mewed. She was lying, but no body movement or look gave it away. "I decided to go behind the nursery and around it because if there were any patrols out I didnt want them to notice me. She glared at Finchpaw, figuring he would know she was faking it. "I guess that plan was a failure. I figured everybody would be asleep by this time of night," Mysticpaw mewed, taking her eyes off of Finchpaw almost immediately. She limped up to Fieryheart and bowed her head respectfully. "Cinnamonpelt wanted me to check after my leg healed, but I felt it couldnt wait. I decided to come now so that if one of the kits were sick, then they wouldnt have to wait." she mewed, picking her head back up. If fieryheart was looking for a sign that she was lying, she most likely wouldnt find one. She wished she could just talk to Finchpaw, but instead she just decided to talk to the deputy and change the subject. "Anyways, I heard Brackenstar got captured by Twolegs... That must REALLY stink. Congratulations and good luck on your trip to the moonstone." she mewed, acting as normal as possible.

Finchpaw

A sense of relief flooded over the young apprentice. If he had had to make up an excuse himself, he probably wouldn't have been able to. After all, what could he say that would excuse a cat from another clan hiding behind the nursery? "Oh," Finchpaw conceded at last, pretending to be taken back. "So that's why you came here." Swishing his bushy tail, he glanced back at the deputy. "It makes sense," he admitted. "Miracleweaver didn't have an apprentice to take her place."

((What am I supposed to say, "Fieryheart lifted the fur above her eye."?!!))


Fieryheart: Deputy of EarthClan


Fieryheart eyed the tom. "Well, Finchpaw. What if it had been a bigger cat?" she questioned. She didn't really believe the words of him but she had to stay calm if she wanted some cats to like her. 'Please, Finchpaw, come to me next time. I don't want any cat hurt in EarthClan right now." Fieryheart flicked her tail slightly and turned her head to Mysticpaw, who was telling her why she came here.

"Well, all kits are okay. None are sick nor hurt." Fieryheart said. "One of my Warriors could've shredded you, did you not know that?" the deputy looked at the Medicine cat Apprentice. "I suggest you come to me if you want to check on the kits. I don't want anyone getting hurt or killed in my camp right now, please." Fieryheart snarled a small snarl and continued to look at the FrostClan cat. "Whirlclaw is expecting kits soon and it worries me that something will go wrong since Miracleweaver isn't here." her expression turned to worry. "Please inform Cinnamonpelt that I will need to ask her of something when you leave here. And inform her also that I will be coming to FrostClan with a few of my cats and asking her."

Fieryheart watched Mysticpaw talk until she mentioned something about Brackenstar..err..Brackenclaw. "Yes, well. All of the clan has been recovering from the news but it's hard and we all know it. Losing a leader." Fieryheart chuckled. "Thank you, and I hope that none of my Warriors confront you when you are leaving." Fieryheart dipped her head to both cats then turned her body and left. The she-cat had better things to do than talk to the Medicine Cat Apprentice of FrostClan. Fieryheart had to plan her trip to Moonstone.

Finchpaw

"I would have fine," Finchpaw whined, indignant. I may be tiny, but I'm not helpless. But he fell silent to let Fieryheart continue. Best to let her finish her speech and then leave as soon as possible. The tom glanced at Fieryheart as she mentioned Cinnamonpelt. Does she know Mysticpaw came to FrostClan twice already? To see me?

[M y s t i c p a w]

Mysticpaw purred and padded back in front of Finchpaw, forgetting her paw was still broken. "YOWWWW!" she yowled painfully. She sat down quickly to lick her leg. "Finchpaw, I need to go... I need herbs for my leg..." she mewed. She longed to stay, but she had to get the herbs for her leg. She thought about what she could do. After a minute, she decided she would tell Oceanstar about the meetings. She purred loudly and rubbed her head against Finchpaw. "Come to FrostClan and tell me when Whirlclaw is having her kits. I'm keeping all of this a secret from Cinnamonpelt." she mewed, and stared at Finchpaw with her dark amber eyes.

Finchpaw

The tom jumped back at her yowl of pain, alarmed. What happened? But he padded back up to her, eyes wide with shock. Did she just break her leg now? Finchpaw wondered, aghast. After a few seconds, he decided Mysticpaw was well enough. The small cat swiftly licked his friend, purring slightly, and then backed away. "I will," Finchpaw promised. "Even if Fieryheart chooses someone else to go. Now go, before anyone misses you.
