"Thank you, Blizzard," meowed Raven. "I appreciate the help cleaning out my den."
After a bit more work, Raven was satisfied with things. "I'll need to go foraging tomorrow to really get a good stock of herbs, but I have enough for now."
Raven picked up the mouse bile that Blizzard had gathered for him on the end of a stick, and headed out to check for ticks on the elders and kits.

Blizzard set the leaves down next to Raven's nest and padded back outside. He picaked up some more leaves and padded over to the warriors den. He threaded the leaves through the branches until it was as thick as it would be in late newleaf. He padded to the apprentices den and did the same. He only had two or three left now. He brought them to the nursery and added them to the thick covering that he and Silver had done before.

Raven was relieved to see that the OceanClan cats were in good shape. After inspecting them all for ticks, he decided he needed to become more familiar with OceanClan territory.
"Blizzard," he meowed as he approached, "I'd like to go out on patrol, and do a bit of hunting. Would you care to join me"

Blizzard yawned and meowed, "I have nothing else to do, and you're my best friend so why not?" He stood up and flicked his tail goodbye to Silver. She smiled and pushed her way back into the nursery. Blizzard padded out of camp.

Blizzard and Raven pulled the mat into camp. Blizzard grabbed some freshkill and dropped it on the pile. He grabbed the rest of the prey and dropped it on the pile. He took the boards and pulled them to a bush. He threded leaves and thorns through the bush until it looked like a spikey dome. He pushed them under it and nodded with satisfaction. He back ed away and sat down to catch his breath.

Blizzard nodded to Raven and slipped into the Nursery. he settled down next to Silver and his kits and purred. Silver nosed his ear and meowed, "What happened to your ear?" Blizzard shrugged. "I snagged it on a thron. It looks good, right?" Silver purred. "I think it looks good." The two settled down and fell asleep.

Blizzard sat up in his nest and yawned. Silver was washing her fur vigorously with quick, gentle strokes. She stopped to scratch her ear and then stretched. Sakurakit crouched behind her mother and pounced on her. Silver flipped over and pinned Sakurakit to her belly. "That move always loses, Sakurakit. Mommy knows it. In battle, it would work as long as the enemy had no clue you were there." Sakurakit nodded and shrugged.

Sakurakit walked around the clearing, her fur tingling with excitement. She was going to be an apprentice in three days! Three!!! She smiled and sat down next to the freshkill pile. She ate a mouse from it and licked her whiskers. She laid down in the shadows of the pile and scanned the clearing for intruders.

Blizzard stepped out of the nursery and looked around. He padded over to the thorn dome and squeazed under. He took several beech leaves he had stacked there and wrapped a surfboard in it. He wrapped it tightly and covered it in honey and sap. He placed it away from the others and squeazed back out. Sakurakit was sitting right in front of him. She sniffed him and meowed cooly, "What were you doing in there?" Blizzard shrugged and took a step away. Sakurakit jumped up and pounced in front of him. "What were you doing in there?" She demanded. Blizzard hissed, "Wrapping your present! You'll be an apprentice soon, so why not get you a present?"

Sakurakit looked happy enough with this answer and licked her chest. She turned and padded back to the fresh-kill pile, her mind buzzing with the news of the present. She crouched down and waited for Raven to come out so she could pounce on him.

Sakurakit saw Raven pad back into camp and smiled. She crept through the bushes until she was next to him. he couldn't smell her with that mouth full of strong smelling herbs so she pounced on him. She landed on his back and gripped his back, making sure she wouldn't fall off if he rolled over.

Sakurakit yowled with triumph as she pinned Raven down. She knew he was struggling feebly, but she guessed it was that the herbs were making him sleepy. She yowled loudly, "Sakurastar has pinned down the viscious loner! OceanClan has won the battle!" She crouched down on Raven's chest and meowed as she tried vainly to hold him down, "We've won, loner. Now you're our prisoner!"

Ssakurakit laughed cruelly as she led him to his den. She lead him inside and showed him the nest. "You are to stay here until further notice." She meowed in a business like voice. She climbed up onto his shelves and sat on an empty one. She crouched down and studied him.

Raven took a few minutes to store his herbs, then padded back where Sakurakit had left him. He put on his saddest face, and began the most awful sound he could manage.
"Woe is me! Trapped and imprisoned by the fierce warrior."

Sakurakit narrowed her eyes and stared at him. She must have inherited it from her mother, becuase she could see all of Raven's thoughts running around in front of her. She grabbed one with her eyes and listened to what it said. it was a list of herbs. Nothing useful.

Sakurakit grabbed another thought and listened to it. "Jump up and yowl loudly. Then run while she's trying to regain her ears. If she chases you, pretend to be weak until she has you pinned, then send her flying with a kick of your back feet!" Sakurakit smiled with satisfaction and stored it in her mind.

Sakurakit jumped down. he'd found an alternate plan. She landed on his front leg. She clawed it several times. She fluffed herself up twice so she looked bigger than Raven and bared her teeth. She advanced on him, ready to keep him in.
