Goldenpaw padded out of camp. It was a lovely day. It was late spring, the sun was shining, and there wasn't much of a breeze. It was the perfect day for hunting. Goldenpaw looked up at the sun and smiled. It was nice to get out of camp and just relax...so much insanity had been going on lately. The fighting with DeathClan, the deaths, the drama with Stormheart...sometimes it was just overwhelming. But for at least a while, Goldenpaw didn't have to worry about it. She was on a mission to bring back some delicious fresh kill.
As she approached the tree line, she fell into a crouch. She had scented a mouse nearby. Eyeing the ground, she spotted the gray creature scuffling in the grass. Stalking closer, soon Goldenpaw was in striking distance. In an instant, she sprung, leaping through the air and pinning the mouse between her claws. She broke its neck in one swift bite, and smiled. One good kill down, a whole lot more to go!

Thorny was padding through the forest. Yeah, he was supposed to be hunting, but he was thinking of other things. For one, his favoritest cat EVER had miraculously come back to him. He hoped there were no bad feelings. After all, maybe she left because he did not try hard enough to keep her? Whatever it was, he hoped it would all work out. And for two, a certain someone in this forest has got to die. His face crunched in hatred at the thought of him. He was gonna rip-
His train of thought was interrupted when he caught the scent of Goldenpaw and prey. He quickly quieted his step, so as to not disturb Goldenpaw's hunting. Quickly, he tried to calm down, conscious that his anger scent would probably warn the prey, and Goldenpaw too...

Goldenshard (woot, warrior! XD) settled back into a hunting crouch, eying a vole, when the wind shifted direction and she scented another cat. Thornclaw? She was confused. His scent held anger...something she hadn't expected. But the vole caught scent of it too, and scampered off into the bushes. Goldenshard straightened, and looked behind her, eying the trees. In between the shadows she made out the outline of Thornclaw. "Hey Thornclaw!"
Padding over, she cocked her head and asked, "What's up? Something wrong?"

He jumped when she appeared in front of him. Panting hard, he gritted his teeth and growled, "It's nothing...," he sighed, seeing that Goldenshard didn't believing him. "It's just...Darkface, Darkstar, used to be part of my old clan and he-he...." Thornclaw choked a sob, memory of that horrible moment flooding his brain. By the time he could speak again, his voice was a whisper full of anguish. "H-he helped kill Moonstream and and now he's followed me here. I just want to, want to...."

Joypaw had been hunting, and had a vole hanging in her jaws. The vole scent was strong, but she scented Goldenshard and Thornclaw. She also had a sense something was wrong. She scraped earth over the prey, and padded over. She caught a couple words about Darkstar and.... Moonstream? She'd heard of that name before. Darkstar helped kill Moonstream? But.... but how? Joypaw mewed, "Hi, Thornclaw, Goldenshard." She slightly emphasized shard. "Is... is something wrong?" Joypaw wasn't sure if Thornclaw wanted to share this with her, though he'd dropped a hint once. "It's okay if you don't want to tell me about it," she meowed quickly.

Thornclaw raised his head and looked at Joypaw with sad eyes. After a second, he quickly looked away and closed his eyes. After inhaling and exhaling deeply, he raised his head and seemed to stare at something behind his audience. He said shakily, "It's not that I don't want you to know....it's just that I don't think I would be able to tell you without...." He paused, then looked at them both, his eyes no longer glazed. "I'm sorry...."

Joypaw looked at Thornclaw's sad eyes and felt a pang of sympathy. He must have been very close to Moonstream, and look at Darkstar, leader of a bloodthirsty Clan. But why? What is it about death that brings them so much joy? She remembered how eagerly those cats had broken Stormheart's legs and snapped her neck, and how she herself had died because of them. Why? Just, why? "It's okay, Thornclaw. You don't have to be sorry." Joypaw remembered how phsycho he'd gone when she'd visited StarClan briefly. She realized that Thornclaw held himself responsible for Moonstream's death.

Goldenshard's eyes became filled with worry. Poor Thornclaw...Darkstar is an evil cat, and knowing that he followed you here would be awful...and Darkstar was a murderer even back then. Her eyes hardened. One day he'll pay for what he's done! But then she cast the thought away. Darkstar wasn't here right now, Thornclaw was. "Thornclaw, it's okay. You don't need to tell us anything if you don't want to. And don't worry about Darkstar, he'll never be able to get you here in SoulClan." A half smile broke onto her face. "We'll protect you here!"

"Yeah!," Joypaw put in excitedly. "He can't go on like this forever- and as they say, what goes around, comes around. It'll come back to him- and we'll make absouletely sure it does!" Joypaw watched Goldenshard's facial expressions, and she was sure Goldenshard agreed with her. "Don't let Darkstar get to you- he's nothing more than an excuse for a cat. You're so much more than that- and you use it better then he does, believe me." Joypaw hoped that would comfort him- at least for now. Please, StarClan, give Thornclaw the strength to handle these things- because these dark times won't end anytime soon, Joypaw prayed.

Smokeheart padds up to the three cats, looking a bit uncertain, but his eyes were friendly. He sits down and dips his head. "I hope I'm not interupting andythig. Im Smokeheart, I just joined."

Goldenshard turned from Thornclaw, facing the new cat. A grey tom padded out of the forest towards the group, saying his name was Smokeheart. Giving one last reassuring glance to Thornclaw, she walked over to the new tom. "Hey! I'm Goldenshard. It's good to see that there's a new SoulClan cat!" She grinned, then noticed his uncertainty. "No need to worry, all SoulClan cats are pretty nice. We aren't DeathClan, that's for sure! So Smokeheart, what brings you to the forest and to SoulClan?"

He dipps his head again, and smiles. "Thanks. And not much I really want to talk about, but I'm here now, and Im loyal to the end." he tilts his head to the side, looking at all the cats. He was about the same hieght as the yellow black and brown patched tom. "The cats seem nice, but I wanted to get a look around the territory. Its so nice out today."

Goldenshard nodded her head, understanding. Some cats had easy pasts, others didn't. It was just the way the world went. "Well that's good to hear! And yes, almost everyone in SoulClan is very welcoming to new cats." Everyone except for Dogfang, of course... As Smokeheart mentioned the weather, Goldenshard looked around. It was a beautiful day, the sun shining down on the forest and the sky blue and clear. "If you want to get to know the territory, we could take you if you wanted."

He smiles. "That would be nice. I dont know a lot of the territory yet, I just sented other cats and followed the sents. The other tom, he smells angry, frustrated." Smokeheart shruggs it off to say it isnt his buisness.

Goldenshard looked over at Thornclaw. I wonder if he'll want to come? I hope so...he could use some cheering up. We all could, actually. Then she looked back to Smokeheart, a half smile on her face. "Yeah...we've kinda all been on edge lately. Let's just saw all the Clans in this forest aren't as friendly as we are." She shook it off, and smiled. "But showing you the territory should help! Come on, follow us!" Goldenshard fell into an easy walk, her long legs eating up ground.

"Hi, Smokeheart! I'm Joypaw. Yeah, we'll show you around the territory, so you can get used to it, get to know it. It is a great day for a tour!" Joypaw followed Goldenshard, keeping step with her. "Coming, Thornclaw?" she asked. It could cheer him up, get his mind of bad things for a while, she added silently. Joypaw soaked up the warm greenleaf sunshine, the trees in full leaf, few whisps of clouds in the endless blue sky. She just hoped along the way, they didn't meet any DeathClan patrols, seeking to sink their vicious claws into SoulClan flesh. Joypaw pushed the thought to the back of her mind.

((Hey Thorn, check out the thread "Scarheart walking alone" in DC XD))
Goldenshard lead the way through the territory, tail high. This could be fun! It was always great to show cats around her home. Hopefully Thornclaw will have fun too! They twisted through the trees, sun shining down on them as they walked. "This, as you can see, is our main section of forest in our territory, and makes up a lot of our land. We do a lot of our hunting here."
Soon the forest parted to show a river winding through the center of the wood, crystalline waters bubbling as it flowed. "And this is the main river that runs through SoulClan territory. You can fish in it if you have the skills." Goldenshard grinned. She couldn't fish to save her life. "It's also a great place to go swimming!"

Smokehearts eyes shine with interest as he looks at all things in the forest. He found it fasinating, it was so different from the horrid seeming forest he 'grew up' in. He tilted his head as he gazed at the water. He liked to swim, and he wanted to learn how to fish, it sounded like fun. "This is a magnificent place, I hope I can find someone to teach me to fish. I know how to swim, but I've always wanted to learn how to fish."

Goldenshard watched the SoulClan cat. He seemed to be enjoying the forest and the river, which was a great thing. It's hard not to love SoulClan territory...it's beautiful and full of great prey. I'm glad that Smokeheart likes it too. She watched as Smokeheart gazed into the shining river. He wanted to learn how to fish. A smile crept across Goldenshard's face as he asked for someone to teach him how to fish. She was definitely not that cat. "Well," she grinned, "I'm sorry to say I probably won't be able to teach you to fish very well. I'm a fighter more than a hunter. I can catch prey alright, but fishing isn't something I'm great at." She turned to Joypaw. "Joypaw, do you know how to fish? You could actually teach both of us!" She smiled.

He smiled. "Im fairly good at both. But hunnting is slower, more time to stratagize. But then again, fighting is fast paced, laced with dangerous split second desicions that get the blood flowing." he smiled a small smile as he babbled on. They all knew this, but he was taken aback by the vast area their territory occupied, and the beauty it held. "I will be glad if anyone can teach me."
