Stay in camp.

The next day, you opened your eyes and quickly found your mind torn from the comfort of sleep. The raid is today, and Snailberry had wanted you up before the sun, so she could give you your tasks. Looking outside, you saw that the clan was gathered around Roachdive and Runnelstar. Snailberry was glancing around camp, looking restless. Her eyes found their way to you, and she stood swiftly, a grim look on her face. She beckoned you over.

"We're leaving soon, are you okay?" She asked, and added, "Will you be okay?"

"I'll be fine. What are my tasks?" You respond in kind, eyes searching the gathered cats for Dazzlekit.

"I need you to stay here and monitor Dapplesong, Dazzlekit, Applejumble, and Umberpaw with Weaselheart and Shellspeck. They'll protect the four of you, I just need you to keep things calm here. Umberpaw's staying because she only became an apprentice a week and a half ago," Snailberry explained.

You cast a glance to the little group of mentioned cats huddled together, with Weaselheart and Shellspeck sitting alert and protective on either side. Umberpaw looked like she would pass out from sleepiness, and Dazzlekit looked like they hadn't slept all night. Dapplesong's tail rested on Umberpaw's back, while she gave Dazzlekit a gentle grooming as a source of comfort for the kit. Applejumble was talking in a hushed voice with Weaselheart, and Shellspeck was scanning the camp with a nervous frequency.

You dip your head in respect to Snailberry, and wish her well as she turns to join Roachdive and Runnelstar as they left camp. You search around for Greenbee, wondering why she isn't in either group. With no real answer visible, though, you pad over to the cats you're supposed to help.

"Have you seen Greenbee, Poppypaw?" Applejumble asks, looking as worried as you feel.

"No..." You shake your head. She grimaces, and looks at Weaselheart with worry.

"I'll go look for her. You all stay in camp. Applejumble is a great warrior when she needs to be, you can trust her to fill my role," He commands, and then doesn't give anyone a chance to stop him.

You gulp, having a terrible feeling about this raid...

She/her

Corvidcall nods, and raises his tail, leading the three of you into camp. A couple of conversations meet your ears, though they slow to a stop as you enter the camp. Cats stare at your little group, curiosity and confusion in their faces. A few of them had collars, though seemed to otherwise fit in just fine with the rest.

“I’ll get Dapplesong to stretch her legs, since you need Runnelstar!” A dark tortoiseshell molly chirped, and rushed to a rocky den with some plants growing down its opening.

“… Thanks, Greenbee!” Snailberry called after the fluffy ball of fur as she zoomed across camp.

A few moments later, an aging, smoky brown molly exited the den, with Greenbee pushing her gently out through the vines. Corvidcall raised his tail, and beckoned the three of you to follow. Shrewcry padded forward as Snailberry gave you a small nudge, and you trotted after the two toms.

Corvidcall cleared his throat at the entrance, and a molly’s meek voice called out, “C- Come in…”

The four of you entered, and you were greeted with the sight of a visibly very anxious golden molly, whose eyes were a somewhat greenish blue. She darted her gaze around the group, and gulped her fears away.

“This is the cat you found, Snailberry…? The one Corvidcall predicted, right?” She asked softly, eyes traveling between the two.

“Yes. By the Badgerclan border,” Snailberry spoke softly, her eyes full of sympathy.

“Oh… Right… I… You sure those awful cats didn’t find them?”

“They did, but she managed to evade them. She’s safe with us now,” She assured Runnelstar.

“Thank Starclan… Oh, does she have a name?” Runnelstar asked, expression softening into a dull worry.

“No. We asked before coming into camp, it seems as though Starclan forgot to give her a name.” Corvidcall’s voice was thinly laced with annoyance, but otherwise toneless.

“Goodness me… Well, Snailberry, you found her. Would you like to name her?” Runnelstar cast a nod to her.

“Oh! Can I, sweetie?” Snailberry asked excitedly, looking at you with stars in her eyes.
