A black, shadowy form lay prostrate on the warm red stone of the coveted Sunningrocks. The shape was breathing even and slow, and closer observation revealed paws and whiskers twitching as the form slept. In some innocent dream, the young Ravenstreak was racing across the brambles of ThunderClan forest. Prey fell right into her paws, and their tantalizing scent and juices caused her stomach to rumble loudly. Maybe too loudly.

With a jerk, the she-cat warrior was awake from her peaceful slumber. Her pelt was warm from the sun, but a chill autumn wind was blowing in from the forest. Drowsily flipping onto her other side, Ravenstreak came face to face with the river. Literally.

Spluttering the she-cat scrambled backwards in surprise, her maw wet with the chilly water. Clear from the water, Ravenstreak swiped at her face and shook the droplets from her whiskers. I guess Loudstorm was right, I do toss and turn a lot in my sleep Being fairly new to the warriors den, Ravenstreak learned quickly that there isn't much room to stretch in it. No wonder her clan mates were annoyed at her in the morning. She would be annoyed at herself too.

But that only means they notice me, and that's better than being invisible. Her brother would have snorted at that. She was sure Silentpaw would have said something like Being invisible is better than having fifty warriors sleep-deprived because of you. Ravenstreak chuckled. Her brother had always been more of a realist and pessimist. Ravenstreak looked up at the blue sky. It had only been a few moons since the badger had torn through the territories, killing many brave cats, including her mother Iceblink, her brother Silentpaw, and her best friend Jaypaw. All that was left of her family was her father Loudstorm, and her siblings from her parents second litter. They were apprentices now.

Ravenstreak noted the position of the sun. It was half past sun-high. She needed to return to camp soon to prepare for the afternoon patrol she would be on. She glanced around at her surroundings. In fact, she was probably late. She had a habit of being late. She wouldn't be surprised if they had already left. And she knew that if they had, the first place they would come was Sunningrocks, because that is where she said she would be.

"Just another reason for them to notice me." she chuckled as she stood to stretch before leaving to join up with her patrol.

I would first like to say that gif at the end is distracting. XD

[/i] much trouble. When she'd told him she'd be going to the Sunningrocks, he'd assumed it would be to hunt, and as such told her to be back in time for the afternoon patrol along the border with Twolegplace. The two places were in the opposite direction of each other, so it wasn't like he expected her to go right from one border to another. He would have allowed her to rest before sending the patrol out, or even letting her rest and then sending her after the patrol.

But that time had gone and went and still, Ravenstreak hadn't shown up. Blizzardshard had been forced to send the afternoon patrol out without her. First had been annoyance, then worry. What if something had happened to her and that's why she wasn't there? Had she fallen off one of the rocks and broken something? What if RiverClan had attacked her? She had gone to Sunningrocks. It as a long-disputed piece of territory between the two Clans...

But he didn't want anyone to worry if she had just forgotten. So, with instructions to Venomwind to take a hunting patrol out when the afternoon patrol left, Blizzardshard had left the camp and made his way towards the piece of territory. The larger-than-average tom padded as silently as he could towards the large gray rocks. If there was trouble about, he didn't want to bring attention to himself.

There wasn't any scent on the wind, though. Just Ravenstreak's scent, growing stronger as he got closer. The deputy peered through the shrubbery and spotted the warrior's sleek black fur. She looked like she'd just woken up from a nap, stretching on one of the boulders and enjoying the sunlight on her fur. Blizzardshard rolled his eyes and meowed outloud, showing himself, "So while I'm at camp, worrying that you might have been taken hostage by RiverClan, you're here sunning yourself. Somehow, I'm not entirely surprised."

Ooops, I was afraid of that. Bad distraction or good distraction? I can always change it =3

Ravenstreak had just finished stretching, and was turning in order to make her way back to camp. She hoped she hadn't missed patrol yet, she was terrible with time (obviously). She wondered if she would even make it back to camp in time to catch up, or would she have to run all the way to the otherside of the territory. I think the patrol was for the Twoleg place border... the black she-cat couldn't recall if it was even the border patrol she was suppose to be on. Was it a hunting patrol? Oh mouse dung...

At the sound of Blizzardshard's voice, however, Ravenstreak's shoulder tensed and her face drew back in a grimace. What she was just thinking about flew from her mind like a startled bird.

Oops...

Well, she figured she would have gotten into trouble about the patrol anyways. She turned around to face her deputy. "I'm sorry, Blizzardshard, I didn't mean to cause a problem. She shuffled her paws across the loose stones by her feet. She tried to find a bright side to this situation, but nothing was coming to mind. She had not meant for the deputy to come all the way to Sunningrocks to find her. She had just dosed off on accident...okay, well, maybe she had planned to take a short little nap. But it was suppose to have been short, and then she was going to hunt. So much for that plan.

"I take it I already missed the afternoon patrol..." she sighed. She was glad her father wasn't here right now, he would be getting after her for missing her patrol. She looked up at Blizzardshard, catching his gaze. "I will take whatever punishment you deem fit."

She scrunched her eyebrows. Wait, wasn't that what apprentices said to their mentors? She was a warrior now, was she suppose to say that? Or just stay silent until the punishment was given. How serious was missing patrol? Would she be pulling ticks off of elders, or helping Frostbite gather herbs? She had never heard of warriors receiving apprentice punishments. Her curiosity got the best of her and before Blizzardshard could speak, she wondered aloud.

"What kind of punishments do warriors get anyways?"

No no, it's good. The eyebrow quirk amuses me. XDD

[/i] looking for her. After all, who would expect the deputy himself to search for a reasonably new warrior who should know her responsibilities without being reminded? Then again, he wasn't really the typical deputy.

She turned around to face him, her paws shuffling as she did so. ~~" "I'm sorry, Blizzardshard, I didn't mean to cause a problem."~~ Blizzardshard raised a furry eyebrow. It was less of a problem and more of an annoyance. In fact, it wasn't even that. It was more of a... complication. Now if she'd been doing something she shouldn't have been, like meeting a RiverClan tom or any RiverClan cat in general, they'd be having a totally different conversation. ~~"I take it I already missed the afternoon patrol."~~

No, of course not. He's just here taking a random stroll through the territory. Didn't he already say she missed the patrol? Well, maybe not in so many words, but still! She raised her eyes to meet his- when had she lowered them?- and continued, ~~"I'll take whatever punishment you deem fit."~~[/i] Jeeze, drama much? She missed one patrol. It wasn't like she had purposefully skipped it... Although, this was a good chance to mess with her a little...

Before he could reply, she wondered aloud in a curious tone of voice, ~~"What kind of punishments do warriors get?"~~ Blizzardshard closed his eyes and lowered his head, forcing his features into a solemn look. Shiningheart had always told him his eyes betrayed his emotions, so as long as Ravenstreak didn't see them, he'd be fine. "It depends on how bad the offense is. Usually I'd just let it go, but this? Skipping a patrol to lounge around while your Clanmates toil and labor to provide for everyone?" He slowly shook his head and sighed. "This is... inexcusable. I'll have to speak to Owlstar about this. He might even exile you..."

He held the silence for a few seconds before losing the fight with his face. A wicked grin slid onto his face and Blizzardshard opened one eye so she could see the humor and laughter floating in them.

Ravenstreak felt like she was just making a fool of herself. She would have kept rambling, but that would be annoying. That and the fact that Blizzardshard was taking his time answering her question was making her very nervous. He looked extremely serious. This was bad, wasn't it? It couldn't be good. Her pelt itched with apprehension. It felt like time had stood still, yet it was just a span of a few seconds. And then Blizzardshard spoke.

~~"It depends on how bad the offense is. Usually I'd just let it go,"~~ Ravenstreak almost let out a sigh of relief. And then she stopped. Did he say usually?

~~"This is... inexcusable. I'll have to speak to Owlstar about this. He might even exile you..."~~

Ravenstreak's pounding heart stopped and her stomach fell. Exile?. If she had been a twoleg, her face would have turned white as a sheet. As soon as Blizzardshard grinned, however, the she-cat took in a deep breath.

"Oh my StarClan, Blizzardshard! That wasn't fair!" but then she burst out laughing. It felt good to laugh, it was normally Silentpaw who made her laugh, and he had passed on moons ago. The black warrior quickly contained her laughter, however, and flashed Blizzardshard a friendly smile. "I suppose I deserved that." She flicked her tail to the side, a little more at ease now. Obviously she had overreacted on missing patrol. She would just have to do better next time. Now, however, she was standing with the deputy of ThunderClan. She had probably just made a fool of herself, so she would rather not do it anymore (even though she would never admit that she was embarrassed). So she decided to take the safe route.

"So now what?"

[/b] She calmed down sooner than he did, and Blizzardshard took deep, soothing breaths to go back to normal. "Okay, I'm good now. I promise."

The deputy returned her friendly smile with a good natured smirk. ~~"I suppose I deserved that.""~~ Ravenstreak meowed. Blizzardshard raised one paw only slightly off the ground and squinted an eye, as if looking at something very small. "Maybe just a little." he chuckled. Oh if he'd done that to either Shiningheart, she would have tried to claw his ears off before finding it funny as well. Then again, she wouldn't have fallen for it in the first place.

In any case, Blizzardshard was relieved that Ravenstreak was a little more relaxed around him now. ~~"So now what?"~~ He shrugged and looked around at the surrounding stones. "I told the Clan I was either going on a rescue mission or a vengeful rampage, so they might not be expecting me back so soon. Venomwind is taking out a hunting patrol by the stream near Fourtrees when the afternoon patrol gets back, so they're fine on that front. Evening patrol won't be set up for a while, so you can make up missing this patrol by going on that one. Until then..."

He shrugged, not really having anything planned. "We could either hunt around here, check on the RiverClan border, or flop around on our fluffy butts until we want to go back or someone else comes looking for us. Either way," he narrowed his eyes on her, half serious and half joking, "I ain't leaving you alone!"

Ravenstreak listened quietly to the ThunderClan deputy. The black she-cat hadn't expected Blizzardshard to be this easy going and friendly. In fact, she had never really interacted with her deputy. Up until she became a warrior he had always been a distant figure doing different important things. Now he was standing in front of her playing tricks and joking around. But it was nice and refreshing. "You're weird, Blizzardshard.

Well, that was a mouse brained thing to say. Calling your deputy weird is probably not the brightest of moves. she quickly tried to recover from the blunder.

"What I mean is when Silentpaw and I were kits Iceblink would always say we should be respectful and silent around the deputy and leader because they were strict and scary and would claw your face off if you disobeyed them. So honestly I thought that is what you were going to do when you found me, claw my face off. But now your laughing and joking around, and, well, acting all cool and stuff and-" she took a deep breath after saying all that with one. She released it before finishing. "And I have a tendency to talk ears off if you don't stop me."

She whipped her tail to the side a couple of times. Her adolescence was showing prominently now. "I've sat on my fluffy butt to long already, so I'm up for anything requiring energy." She nodded her head towards the RiverClan border. "Honestly it has been really quiet in this area, probably because I've been napping the day away, but it probably wouldn't hurt to take a closer look and do all those warrior things I probably should have done earlier. But, you know, I'm lazy and forgetful, and not letting you say a single thing.

She snapped her jaw shut at that with a twinkle in her eye. She felt even more relaxed now. To be honest if it had been Silentpaw in Blizzardshard's place she would have pounced on him playfully by now. But doing that to the deputy would be awkward. Not something she would want to explain to her father. Hey dad, I pounced on the deputy today because he acted like Silentpaw Honestly, even mentioning her brother's name would send her father away fighting off his depression even more. They had lost much in the past couple of moons, but today was a good day for Ravenstreak. She definitely felt up to doing a patrol on the RiverClan border.
