Stormchaser

---

Instructed by his best friend Stormchaser rose early in the first light of dawn to collect himself and call forth the two other clan mates that where to follow him for the patrol. It wasn't going to be a pleasant patrol because no matter how many times e walked past the border, Stormchaser never felt comfortable going near NightClan territory but he did as he told for his Clan's sake. Standing up his nest he looked toward Lionsong, the ginger she-cat was sleeping beside her mate and part of him felt bad for waking her but knew that she offered to take part in the task despite her emotional state, but the grey tom wasn't about the judge her healing process.
"Lionsong get up and grab a bite to eat I'll wake Sunstride to join us." He spoke softly to her in order to not walk her mate, she stirred quickly and nodded it was clear she didn't sleep heavily any more and did as he said by exiting the den to get a meal. Treading carefully he picked his way though sleeping clanmates to come upon Sunstide's sleeping form and nudge his clanmate with a forepaw. "Sunstride the dawn patrol is setting to leave." He said and waited to see his clanmate move and once he did the grey tom left to get his own meal. Upon leaving the warrior's den he saw that Lionsong hadn't eaten again but instead waited by the camp entrance. His chest hurt of the young she-cat that had lost her sister and slowly picked up a nice small mouse and brought it to her his soft eyes down cast as he put it at her paws. "Humour me and eat half of that if not you won't go." He told her respectfully, she gave him a soft glare before bending down and taking two bites, pushing the mouse to him, he knew there wasn't a point to make her eat and didn't want to waste food so he finished the mouse quickly. His ears flicked as his attention was drawn back to the warrior's den waiting for Sunstride to join them.

Being awoken by his clan-mate wasn't something that normally happened, or at least it didn't happen to him. He was usually the one up first, and waking his sleeping clan-mates from their sleep to accompany him to the Dawn patrol. And so when it happened to him, it took him by surprise. His dreams a fleeting memory, the more tired than he should have been tom shook the moss from his fur as he turned his golden head to lick at his white shoulder fur, holding back a yawn before more rustling caught his attention.

"Late night?" A soft voice asked, turning Sunstride's attention towards the voice that happened to come from his sister. Green met green as the two looked at each other for a moment and Sunstride felt his fur burn in embarrassment as if he had gotten caught with a dirty little secret that Moonshimmer had found out about. "You don't have to hunt all the time, prey is returning." She let out a yawn, showing sharp fangs before she shook out her blue gray fur, brushing past Sunstride. "I'm not getting anymore sleep, let's go patrol." She flicked him with the end of her tail before following Stormchaser and Lionsong out of the den, leaving her brother to follow.

Giving one more lick to his fur, the ginger and white tom followed his sister out into the clearing of Treeclan's camp to find Stormchaser and Lionsong standing at the entrance, waiting on him as he padded over, ignoring the fresh-kill pile, to join them, eager to get on with this patrol. A walk should ease his mind and relax him. "Ready?" He asked, flicking his tail as Moonshimmer padded up, her breathing smelling of mouse, he supposed she had gobbled it down pretty quickly, "Moonshimmer decided to come with us." He said, twitching an ear as he waited for Stormchaser to decide weather or not to go.

Stormchaser

Stormchaser looked up as he caught sight of Moonshimmer and smiled kindly toward the she-cat before he nodded in agreement with Sundstride. Even numbers always put him at ease especially when patrolling along Deer Path with those stupid and arrogant NightClan cats around. He almost opened his mouth to protest that Sunstride wasn't eating but it felt that if he called out the tom in front of his sister that it wouldn't go well for their sub-par relationship and let it go for the time being, he wasn't the deputy after all.

Flicking his tail up he gave Lionsong a warm look before taking the lead and leaving camp at a brisk pace. "As you know we'll be patrolling along deer path to make sure NightClan hasn't been trying to trespass. I hope it will be a quick and uneventful patrol." As soon as he said those words he felt like he shouldn't have. If StarClan was cruel. over the past few months he was starting to think just that, he was sure they would send some flea-bitten NightClan cat to cause trouble that he wanted no part of but it was already said and he'd have to deal with it. He lead the patrol on a near direct path to the border with Lionsong keeping a brisk pace beside him but she paused for a second and checked for scent before returning to trail just a little behind him, she felt a little uneasy for some reason.

It was probably a rather good thing that Stormchaser hadn't invited Adderstrike to come with them on this dawn patrol to the Nightclan border. Treeclan and Nightclan already had a rather strained relationship as it was, and Adderstrike didn't make any relationship with anything or anyone better, but rather ten times worse than what it started out as.

Sunstride was the calmer and more level headed of the two, which was probably why he was picked for such a touchy patrol.

The ginger and white tom turned his head towards Lionsong, his heart dropping for her a bit. He knew that she was going through a hard time at the moment. With the loss of her sister and all. Sunstride could only imagine loosing Moonshimmer or Gentlebreeze, and with everything that his oldest sister was going though, it was almost as if Gentlebreeze was dying in-front of his eyes everyday.

"How are you feeling?" Sunstride dropped back to fall instep with Lionsong, he let his tail brush against her flank, hoping that he could pull her out of her state of depression. The ginger and white tom couldn't have another she-cat in Treeclan fall into the same depressed state as his sister. They deserved to live happy and full lives.

Stormchaser had taken the lead on their way to the NightClan border, leaving Lionsong in the middle of the other two warriors much to her discomfort. It wasnt that she was anti-social by any means but she just didn't feel like being reminded about her sister all the time. The pity she saw in their eyes was enough to make her head spin, it was not the comfort she wanted but rather a suffocating reminder that Cougerflight was dead. So when Sunstride spoke up again about how she was feeling it took everything in her not to snap at him about Cougarflight. Lionsong was thankful for the care her Clanmates showed about the dead she-cat but all the golden tabby wanted to do now was go through her grief and come out a winner on the other side. Flicking her tail her head turned to look at Sunstride before replying to him.

"I am doing better." She meowed with a loud exhale, unaware she was holding in a breath. "I have good days and bad days." She added on, it was known to the clan that she was in mourning for her sister but very few cats realized just how sad she had become. Sandstrike her mate had been hunting for her and sitting by her to make sure she ate, it wasn't uncommon in recent days that the she-cat skipped a meal and it was troubling for mate, but not everyone in TreeClan needed to know that. "How is Gentlebrezze?" Lionsong asked trying to match his concerned tone, it was common knowledge that Gentlebreeze's daughter Bugkit was stolen from camp, it was hard to believe how it could have happened but it wasn't unlikely that the little she-kit was out wondering and taken by an animal. A new sense of fear washed over Lionsong as she thought about her possible future kits with Sandstrike and couldn't even bare to think about any of them being taken or stolen, it made her feel sick and that wasn't what she needed at the moment.

Sunstride
The Brightest Flame
Said all I want from you is to see you tomorrow
And every tomorrow, maybe you'll let me borrow your heart
And is it too much to ask for every Sunday
And while we're at it, throw in every other day to start

He tried not to, but his body moved without his permission, as he almost miss-stepped and the brightness in his green orbs fell. He glanced down at his paws, trying to make sure he didn't trip as he thought about the pretty white she-cat that hadn't left the nursery for moons because of the loss of her only surviving kit.

It affect not only him and Moonshimmer, but it was taking a massive toll on his older brother, Adderstrike, though others probably assumed it was just his foul temper.

He wished it would just go away, that he could make it all better for Gentlebreeze. She was too sweet a cat, too loving and well, gentle, for something so tragic to happen to her. Though he didn't blame anyone, Adderstrike certainly blamed Lionstar and the lost kit's father, Pineneedle for everything that happened to Gentlebreeze, even though it was no-cat's fault. It was just very unfortunate, and he didn't want Lionsong to fall into the depressed state that Gentlebreeze was now deep inside.

"I... I don't know." He confessed, all of his siblings would sit in with her in the Nursery for a bit everyday, but it would start to become suffocatingly terrible, as Gentlebreeze wouldn't even look at or talk to them. "I wish I could do something. But I feel so helpless." He said, his voice breaking his usual even and calm tone as he felt his worries flood into his voice. He kept his green eyes trained on the ground as the ginger and white tom continued to walk along side Lionsong.

After a moment he looked up at the she-cat next to him, letting his green orbs linger on hers. "I'm not trying to make you get over everything you've gone through." He said softly, "I just want you to be safe and well." He said, as he was a gentle sort of soul like his sister, but he had grown into the role of being a role-model for the young, a protector for the weak and helpless, and a fighter for those who could no longer fight. He was a good warrior with a strong heart and soul, and he just wanted to help as much as he could.

"I can't let what happened to Gentlebreeze happen to another cat..." He murmured before turning his eyes away again, letting them fall on Stormchaser as he padded on in-front of them.

Hearing more about Gentlebreeze put an uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach. She thought about her own mate again and fear crawled up her spine, what if the horrors that happened to Gentlebreeze happened to her? Attempting to bury that fear she paused to shake out her fur.

Sunstride needed more support than he was getting, he couldn't save the entire clan even if he tried. "I'm here for you Sunstride. You can't save everyone and you shouldn't do it alone. I don't think Gentlebreeze will never be okay with the loss of Bugkt. I'm not even a Queen and I feel sick and scared just thinking about it. Maybe taking a step back would be best, there is only so much you can do." She said kindly, trying to sound fair to his situation and not make a bigger pity party. Everything in TreeClan had changed and it was going to take some time to adjust.

Stormchaser paused ahead of everyone else as he came to the border. "I'll remark the borders, everyone keep an eye out and ears sharp." He said allowed to his border patrol before looking for where the scent markers where placed and started re-marking.
