Aloeberry's Hardships

The journey of the broken clan had brought Aloeberry to an unknown part of the forest. No familiar prey, No familiar herbs, and no familiar happiness. Almondfoot had treated Scrawnypaw with sticks and bindweed, and gave him poppy seeds. He was still asleep, but I was sure even when the effect wore off he would still be asleep. I think he was asleep. I didn't know if he was asleep or unconscious. Adderclaw, Ashpaw, and Leapstar carried the biggest prey they could find, and then Almondfoot, Brightpaw, and Sandheart carried the most useful herbs. Meanwhile, I was happy carrying Scrawnypaw gently as possible.Every once in a while a soft coo would escape. He would squirm a little and just go a little Wuhoo~ Eventually we found a tiny forest to stay in. We settled down and Almondfoot, Leapstar still awestruck and frozen, gave orders. Adderclaw and Ashpaw had to hunt, Almondfoot would scout for herbs, I was to try and find brambles or protection, and Leapstar would stay with Scrawnypaw. I think we could all tell he gave her that job on purpose.

 Frozen | Leapstar's POV 

I was on a patrol with Adderclaw, Ashpaw, Brightpaw, and Sandheart. I loved my territory. I breathed in the sweet, sharp scent. I also scented rabbit. "See if Ashpaw can catch that." I had happily murmured to Adderclaw. He walked over to the young tom and whispered something in his ear. Ashpaw silently crouched up to the rabbit, and killed it with one swipe. "Good Job!" Brightpaw yowled. I smiled so graciously. Shadowclan. MY clan, my warriors clan, the most amazing clan, had a bright future of beautiful and strong, loving warriors. "Leapstar! I want to talk to you about the patrol going to Windclan." Almondfoot said He bounded up, his fluffy fur raking through the trees. I smiled and thought of my most amazing companion. We were best friends before all of our responsabilities. I miss basking in the sun with him when we were warriors, but I love leading my clan more and I'm sure he could say the same. "Excuse me." I said politely. I walked over to him and we began to talk as the mentors and apprentices continued to learn to hunt.

We continued to talk and Almondfoot I were making our way back to camp. Adderclaw, Ashpaw, Brightpaw, and Sandheart had joined us with one rabbit and a mouse. We walked through the camp Almondfoot and I were talking about Warriors den getting rained on. "Well I was thinking we could weave more ferns into the roof. And so I thought- Great Starclan!" I stared awestruck at my clan. Each and every warrior was gone. I was choking on my tears I felt myself seep back into my shell. Turning back into my old self. The quiet useless one. Smallkit...Smallpaw.... Smallvoice..... Then Splashiness... and Leapstar.
