The mountains always did have a tough leafbare, but this season was especially hard. In leaf-fall there was an outbreak of greencough, which left a fair amount of cats weak, sick, and unprepared for the cold season. Huge storms and freezing temperatures made hunting hard. It seemed all the prey was dying or hiding away from the snow. Many cats died of starvation or cold. So Hawkstar made a hard decision - they had to leave. Leave the territory and find a safer place to stay where there would be more prey available. He decided to lead them off the mountain - lower ground meant less wind and snow, right?
Hawkstar's paws dragged in the snow, his brown fur hung from his frame, dirty and messy, as he hadn't taken time to groom it for a few days. He looked tired, his yellow eyes lacking the spark they usually held. They'd been traveling for a few days now and it felt like they were getting nowhere. The leader looked back at his clanmates who followed him, raising his head higher. He had to act strong for them. They needed reassurance right now. "Okay let's stop and take a rest!" The leader meowed loudly, nodding his head to his clanmates.

Icewhisker huffed and sat down in the snow as she noticed her clanmates slowing and stopping around her. Finally, Hawkstar must have stopped to let everyone rest. They'd been walking since dawn. Closing her blue eyes briefly, she took a few deep breaths and then glanced around at her clanmates. The young queen wrapped her tail around herself, bending her head to lick her belly. It was getting bigger. Worry clouded the white and gray cat's expression as she thought about the unborn lives she was carrying.
Heatherwing looked around at his clanmates. The clan had gotten smaller since cats died off, but they still had a fair amount of cats. His stomach growled, reminding the warrior of its emptiness, pondering whether it would be a goos idea to go see if he could find some prey. He couldn't go alone, not that he minded but Hawkstar announced earlier that they were to keep at least one cat with them while they were traveling. Looking around, he searched for the deputy to ask if a small patrol should go out.
Brookpaw slowed down beside her brother and gave him a mildly worried glance when she saw him stumble over a loose pile of snow. "Are you okay?" She meowed, whiskers twitching. She knew better than to offer help steadying him, he would have refused. He liked doing things on his own and he was capable.
Giving his sister an annoyed glance back, Swiftpaw responded quickly. "I'm fine." She probably thought he was weak and extra tired because of his paw, like always. He was fine, it wasn't bothering him.

Spiderpaw sighed in repeat when she saw everyone else stoping to rest, the young apprentice was tired, cold and just all around pretty upset with the way things had gone. She hadn't wanted to leave her home, especially since she had lost her mom to the harsh sickness and just wanted to give up but she knew she couldn't, life must move on. She tried to shake off the snow that had clumped in her long black pelt and looked around at her other clanmates. The shecat was quite fussy when she wanted to be so it was a surprise that she wasn't trying to boss the others around a bit, even though she was just an apprentice.
Waspstrike and Eagletalon was hanging at the back of the group of cat, huddled close to each other. Waspstrike was worried about her soft spoken brother and Eagletalon was worried about his out spoken sister so they stuck together like glue through this whole ordeal. The two looked around at there clan then looked back with a frown at each other, they didn't know how they and the other cats would even make it past this point.

Hawkstar lay down in the snow, resting his legs. He stared blankly ahead at his clanmates, whiskers twitching as he thought about the home they left behind and wishing things could have gone differently.
Heatherwing was growing impatient. The deputy was around here somewhere but why waste time asking for his permission when he could easily take it into his own paws. "Does anyone want to go hunt with me?" He meowed, looking around pointedly at his clanmates. "Aurely there's got to be some prey crawling around." He waited for anyone to step up. Of course, if they caught something it would be given to the queens and elders before he got a chance to eat. Unfortunately.
Swiftpaw looked up when he heard the warrior ask for volunteers to go hunting. He opened his jaws to say he would join him, but before he could get a word out his sister nudged his shoulder. "Don't go, you should rest." she suggested. The young tom quickly felt defensive. "Seriously Brookpaw? I'll be fine." he wanted to prove that his paw didn't stop him from helping the clan. Besides, it sounded fun. This was unfamiliar teerrritory and he'd have a chance to explore it a bit more. "I-" But then he looked at her face and realized it wasn't about his paw. She was scaed and worried. She wanted him to stay with her. "Okay." he huffed in defeat, sitting back down beside her.
Brookpaw scooted a little closer to Swiftpaw so their pelts were touching, a soft purr rumbling in her body. With him next to her she was sure he was safe and not doing stupid things. And she felt safer. This whole journey was making her jumpy and uneasy. Which was stressful because she wasn't used to feeling vulnerable and her brother wasn't used to seeing het vulnerable.

Spiderpaw's ear twitched as she heard the warriors meow for help and stretched as she raised up. "I'll come help." She mewecas she glanced at her fellow apprentice's, wondering if they was coming. When she saw then still settled down she let out a small huff and padded over to Heatherwing.
The two siblings looked at each other and nodded, Eagletalon walking away from Waspstrike. "If it's alright with you I'll accompany you as well." He mewed, shaking the bit of snow off his short pelt.

Heathereing looked over the two cats who approached and nodded his head. "Alright, let's go then." he padded off, leading the way without waiting for the rest of his little patrol. He wated to get out before more cats wanted to come along, they didn't need half the clan hunted. Three cats was plenty for now. Slowing down once he was away from the resting clan, Heatherwing lifted his nose and twicthed his whiskers, searching for prey.

Spiderpaw followed beside Heatherwing, her tail swishing behind her as Eagletalon followed behind the two cats, sniffing around as he slowed his pace, Spiderpaw doing so soon after.

Heatherwing huffed disapprovingly when he didn't scent any prey. Moving on, he padded farther through the heavy snow. "I think I scent mouse." He said 'think' because it was a faint scent, which could be old. He hoped it wasn't.
Icewhisker noticed Bluewing curled around her kits and hesitated before she slowly approached the older queen, stopping at her side. Settling down beside her in the snow, their pelts brushed against each other a little. She gave Bluewing a small smile, hoping she wouldn't mind her laying beside her and the kits.
Brookpaw sighed as she lay down, resting hwr head on the snow. She stared blankly ahead, whiskers twitching as she thought.
Swiftpaw frowned as he looked at his sister. "Cheer up." he nudged her body with his paw. "Our clan needs us to be strong right now." he puffed out his chest.

Icewhisker purred with amusement, her whiskers twitching at the kit. The gray and white she-cat gave her belly a couple licks before resting her head on her paws.

Spiderpaw hadn't scented a thing. The young cat let out a small huff of annoyance and wandered away from the patrol a little bit, parting her jaws to try and catch a whiff of something.
Eagletalon stayed near Heatherwing, trying to keep his paw steps light as to not alert any prey that might be nearby, so far no luck on the prey part though.

The mouse scent was a dead end, it led no where. Heatherwing hissed to himself, his stomach growling a little as he continued to search for prey. Spiderpaw wandered away a little and he thought about warning her not to get lost, but decided she would be fine. Besides, spreading out gave them a better chance at finding prey.

Icewhisker stood up and shook snow off of her her gray and white fur, blue eyes looking around and studying her dejected clanmates. She spotted Tawnykit, sitting alone in the snow, and a pang of pity hit her. Poor little one. She also felt bad that nobody was with the kit, comforting her and keeping her warm. Padding over, the young queen lowered her head and gave the kit a gentle lick on the head as a warm purr rumbled in her throat.

Icewhisker pushed around some snow with her paw before settling down beside the kit, her tail wrapping around them for warmth. "Are you okay?" she asked, deciding to use her voice.

"We'll be fine." she purred, doing her best to seem confident in it. She honestly wasn't sure what was going to happen to them. The kits' odds were especially low since they were so young, and Tawnykit didn't have a mother. "We need to be strong. Can you do that?"
