Crowfang followed Dawnpool to the medicine den and helped her find where the store of herbs was kept. "When do you think Starclan will show us our next medicine cat?" Dawnpool was quiet for a moment, gathering all the herbs she needed. When she spoke, her voice was guarded. "I know who the next medicine cat for Thunderclan will be already, Starclan will show them soon." With that, she went to check on the two toms, which had since been carefully moved to just outside the medicine den. Crowfang stepped outside and heard a mournful yowl come from the nursery. Dashing over, she approached the nursery but Fernheart stepped out to meet her. "Ivytwig....she's dead. She lost too much blood....." The gentle queens eyes were filled with grief. She slumped against Crowfang. Crowfang called over to Robinflight. "Robinflight, can you and Addertalon bring Ivytwig's body out?" Her voice was thick. Flowerpetal, a silver tabby, padded over from the dirtplace tunnel. She had the youngest kit next to Ivytwig's. "I'll nurse them Crowfang." The queen was lucky to have only one kit, especially now that she would have five more. Crowfang nodded and saw Sweetstar leaping down the Rockpile. "I heard." She dipped her head. "I am traveling to the moonpool tonight. Crowfang, I need you to come with me. Dawnwhisker can take care of the camp and Brookpounce can watch Fernheart." She turned to Robinflight. "Robinflight, can you and the elders arrange Ivytwig next to Yarrowtail? Darktail will be doing vigil tomorrow night and the clan will sit vigil for our lost clanmates tonight."

Crowfang stepped forward, her head held high. "We come asking for help. That fox, the female with the kits? She killed out medicine cat and injured two of our warriors, one of them has a gash that will easily get infected if not treated properly." Strikestar narrowed his eyes. "Can Thunderclan give us anything return? Asking for our help at the beginning of leafbare is a bit selfish, isn't it?" There was a hiss from behind him. A black she-cat with dark blue eyes stepped forward. "Strikestar, I know you have pride but remember four seasons ago when we needed their help? They asked for nothing. We should repay that kindness and help, especially since this time it's a situation much worse than then." "I know Darkfern but remember, they had a reason for coming to us." The ragged tom bared his fangs. "And they did get something in return." Turning back to the Thunderclan cats, he sneered. "Very well, Dawnpool can go with you but her apprentice must stay here." A light cream colored she-cat padded up to them and dipped her head.

Crowfang looked up as Robinflight approached. "It was the fox." She pointed her tail at Volepelt, who was laying nearby with a nasty gash on his leg. Thrushpelt was next to him, his nose torn. "Yarrowtail and Darkpaw were out collecting herbs before Darkpaw's warrior ceremony when the fox surprised them both. Darkpaw managed to run and get the hunting patrol, but by the time they got there, Yarrowtail was dead and the patrol managed to drive the fox off." Sweetstar padded out of the nursery. The clan gathered loosely around the two she-cats and Yarrowtail. Sweetstar raised her tail. "Ivytwig has given birth to five kits, but one is very weak and may not survive the night. And we have lost our only medicine cat." She looked around and spotted Darkpaw laying near the apprentices den, still winded from running to get help. "We would've lost another warrior if someone had not gotten help in time. I know it's of little consolation, but Darkpaw, you have earned your warrior name." The tom pricked his ears. The rest of the clan watched, quiet. Happy, but sad for the moment. Sweetstar stood in front of him. "It's a sad day that you are getting your warrior name now of all times, but Starclan is watching over you. Do you promise to uphold the warrior code, protect your clan with your life, and be loyal only to Thunderclan?" "I do." Darkpaw still sounded winded but his eyes glowed with a sad pride. "Then by the powers of Starclan, you shall be known as Darktail in honor of Yarrowtail, who you tried to save. I know we lost him, but honor his memory by being the best warrior you can, and I know you will make it up to him." She licked his head and stepped back as the clan called his name. After a few moments, Sweetstar waved her tail. "Robinflight, take Crowfang and Squirrelwhisker to Shadowclan. Dawnwhisker, take Addertalon and Redtooth to Windclan then Riverclan. See if their medicine cats can help us until Starclan chooses the next one." Dawnwhisker dipped her head then summoned the two toms and raced out of camp, their faces grim. Crowfang padded up to Squirrelwhisker, who had his nose pressed in his brothers fur, and gently nudged him. "Come father, we must go to Shadowclan. We can mourn Yarrowtail when we get back." Slowly, he nodded and got to his paws, then followed her over to where Robinflight was standing.
(I will edit the clan cat list on page 4 whenever something happens! that way we can keep track lol, & sorry for the sadness, I have a plan with all this so i'm not being mean!)

Crowfang told a couple other warriors to go find Yarrowtail and raced back to the nursery. Fernheart was already with Ivytwig. She turned as Crowfang came in. "Please, do you know anything that will help? Something's wrong!" Her eyes were wide, and Ivytwig was writhing in her nest. Crowfang raced out of the nursery as Sweetstar and Robinflight were coming down the Rockpile. She called out as she ran to the medicine den. "Something's wrong, we need Yarrowtail!" She dashed into the medicine den and went over to the store. She snagged a dried juniper berry with her claw, grabbed a small sprig of thyme, and grabbed borage. She was glad that as an apprentice she had helped out so often in the medicine den. Racing back out, she brought the leaves into the nursery where the queens were waiting with their kits and with Robinflight. Sweetstar must have been inside and even though it would be crowded, Crowfang squeezed in. Panting softly, she saw that Ivytwig was getting weak already. There was so much blood, it tainted the air with a sour smell. Crowfang gently nudged her way to Ivytwig's head. "Keep her head elevated, that should help with breathing. Fernheart, can you keep your paw on her stomach and keep track of the kits?" The queen nodded and Sweetstar stepped back, watching nervously. Crowfang stroked Ivytwig's ears with her tail. "I need you to open your mouth and eat something. It will help you feel better." The skinny she-cat managed to nod and she ate the thyme that Crowfang had placed in front of her. After a few heartbeats, she had started to relax. Crowfang glanced at Fernheart. "The kits are weak, their barely moving." She reported. There was a yowl from outside the den but Crowfang ignored it. She watched Ivytwig for a moment but the queen was breathing shallower and shallower with each moment. "Ivytwig, you need to push now, alright?" The queen nodded and after a few moments, a wet bundle slithered out from beneath her tail. Crowfang gently encouraged her until eventually, there were four bundles against her stomach. A fifth bundle laid at Crowfang's paws, not making any sound. Crowfang poked her head out of the nursery. "Robinflight, I need you to come lick a kit. It's breathing but not moving and Sweetstar is still licking another kit." She looked around and gasped. Addertalon and Squirrelwhisker had brought in Yarrowtail's body. He had been attacked viciously. Crowfang bounded out, asking what happened.
(yes, this is a very long & somewhat sad scene XD)

When they got back to camp, Crowfang slipped off from Robinflight to take care of the queens. She gathered some moss from just outside the camp and then cleared out the old bedding. As she was making the last nest, Ivytwig gave out a low moan. "Crowfang, get Yarrowtail...." Crowfang hared out of the nursery and burst into the medicine den. "Yarrowtail?!" But the medicine cat was nowhere to be found. Crowfang ran to the clearing to look for him.

Crowfang was startled to see the young Shadowclan warrior leading a patrol. He was the same age as her and had been made a warrior around the same time. Beefur dipped his head. "Fangstrike, it is an honor for a young warrior like yourself to be leading a patrol. I hope all is well in Shadowclan." "It's fine." Fangstrike spoke curtly, staring intently at Robinflight long enough for Crowfang to notice. He looked around. "A female fox with newborn kits has been spotted near the Greenleaf twoleg place, she killed Adderfoot a few days ago when we surprised her. Just be careful." With that, he waved his tail and his patrol disappeared.

Crowfang woke with a start. Beefur was prodding her awake. "Dawn patrol, get Robinflight." Yawning, Crowfang got up, stretched, and prodded Robinflight. "Come on, dawn patrol with Beefur." Exiting the second warriors den, she saw Beefur and Darkpaw emerging from the apprentices den. She waved her tail at them and grabbed some prey. She wolfed down a dove and began grooming her tail in quick short strokes while she waited for the rest of the patrol to finish getting ready. She heard Darkpaw talking excitedly with Beefur about his warrior assessment; sounded like it was going to be soon, maybe even that day. Crowfang let out a purr. Darkpaw was supposed to become a warrior with her, but after a vicious battle with a Windclan patrol that had left him with a bad limp, he had spent almost two moons in the medicine den recovering from a severe infection. If anyone deserved to become a warrior, it was him.

Crowfang couldn't make out who the cat who had left, so shrugging, she carried her prey and dropped it onto the pile. She slipped into the den and saw the Robinflight was gone. Curious, Crowfang stepped outside camp and found her scent leading towards the lake. Nose to the ground, Crowfang followed the scent as far as Horseplace until she lost it among the harsh tang of twolegs and horses mingled together. Hissing softly, she wondered why Robinflight had come this way. When she couldn't pick up the scent, she raced back to camp before she could be missed.

Crowfang felt to restless to sleep, so she went night hunting. Her dark pelt helped hide her from the prey and she got lucky. By moonhigh, she had five mice, two voles, and a fat crow buried near the camp. As she started carrying it back to camp, she noticed a cat leaving the camp. She stopped but didn't try to hide this time since she hadn't left the territory and had nothing to hide that night.

When Robinflight had left, Crowfang sighed. She knew she couldn't leave the territory tonight but she could at least sit by the lake before nightfall. With that thought in her head, she padded out of camp and down to the shore.
She stretched and found a smooth spot covered in flat rocks and laid down, curling her long tail over her back and closing her eyes. After awhile, she could hear some splashing and opened them, thinking that maybe a fish was close by and was startled to see a Riverclan cat climbing out of the water. Peering around, they dashed up to her. "There you are! Is everything ok from last night?" Purring for a moment, Crowfang pressed her muzzle to his then jerked back in surprise. "Wait! What are you doing here! There's a hunting patrol out, you could get caught!" He sighed. "I-I-I know, but I was worried about you. Pikeheart followed me to the gathering island, and you saw your clannmate, so I thought you wouldn't be able to sneak away tonight. I decided to come here by the shore just in case I could see you." "Splashheart, please leave. I can't have any of my clanmates see you!" Crowfang's eyes were wide with fear. "I did get in trouble, but no one knew I was meeting you. I'm taking care of the queens by myself until the next half moon, so I can't see you til then. I'm sorry!" With that, she licked his cheek and bounded off.

(lol that's awesome XD)
Crowfang shot her a look and spoke quietly. Thankfully, all their clanmates were busy and far enough away that they couldn't hear them. "I do like someone else, but I would rather not say who right now. But unfortunately all the males in the clan except for Volepelt and Thrushfoot are taken, and I can't be a mate to my father obviously or Yarrowtail, so I've looked elsewhere." She took a deep breath. "If Thrushfoot would find someone else, dealing with him would be easier." She finished off her dove as Fallenkit came out of the nursery and bounded over to where his littermates were. "I promise this though: I will never betray my clan with who I like." With that, she started grooming her back in a lazy way.

Crowfang shrugged. "I like him, he's ok. But he's already asked to be my mate." She sighed quietly. "&.....I like someone else. I don't think Thrushfoot would be a good mate for me anyway. He's not exactly a fighter, he's also kind of.....boring, to be honest. Plus, he doesn't want kits. I've asked." She tore the wing off her dove violently. "I just wish he would find someone else in the clan to like." She started removing some of the feathers. "Juniperheart's moving into the nursery already, but apparently she doesn't want to be mates with Volepelt. She admits he's the father, but doesn't seem to care if their mates anymore." She took neat, rapid bites, her tail twitching.

Crowfang avoided Yarrowtail as much as possible, preferring to fill the freshkill pile & hunting for the queens. She spent half of the rest of the day hunting, bring back two finches & a squirrel. The prey was finally starting to retreat into its dens, so she couldn't find any voles but she was glad she spotted the squirrel. It was very plump, & it could feed all the queens. Recently, Ivytwig had moved into the nursery but no one knew who the father was. As she walked into camp after her last hunt, bring in a mouse and small thrush, she saw Robinflight eating alone. She was suddenly bowled over by a blur of orange, white, and gray patched kits. Brookpounce was over in an instant. "Kits, leave Crowfang alone!" The kits fell off Crowfang, theirs heads hanging. "I'm so sorry Crowfang, their father is out on patrol & they've been cooped up in the den all day. Now, say you're sorry." "We're sorry....." All the kits mumbled. Crowfang purred. "It's alright, no harm done. That was a very good ambush though, I never saw you coming! Why don't you all see if the elders would like the prey I caught? Maybe they'll tell you a story on the Sun Stones." With that, the kits and the prey were suddenly rampaging across the clearing towards the elders, who were currently snoozing on the Sun Stones. "Crowfang, I actually needed to ask you something. Did you yell at Yarrowtail earlier?" Brookpounce looked worried. "Fallenkit said you got really mad at him, is everything ok?" Sighing, Crowfang sat down for a moment. "Yes, but it's only because Yarrowtail tried to get me to become his apprentice again. I didn't mean to scare Fallenkit, is he ok?" Brookpounce nodded. "Yes, he's fine. Sleeping in the nursery right now but he was worried about you. You don't get angry very often, and I know he looks up to you. I think he's hoping you'll mentor him when he becomes an apprentice." She sighs. "But while his littermates will be apprentices in the next quarter moon, he won't be one until probably the next full moon after tomorrow night." Shaking her head, she got up. "But, I just wanted to make sure you were ok. See you Crowfang." With a nod, Crowfang grabbed a dove from the freshkill pile and looked for a place to sit and eat. She saw Thrushfoot watching her expectantly, but she looked away awkwardly and decided to sit down by Robinflight. "Are you not that hungry?"
