secret delivery service & Catfishpaw

Every growing interest in the other clans was surely going to get young Bananapaw in trouble, but she couldn't help herself! The other clans where a mystery. Thunderclan was off in the oak forest, confined to thick brush and massive trees, Shadowclan lived in a shrouded base of pine needles and swampland, and Riverclan laid beyond reeds. A river kept the two apart that swiftly moved along as if the winter hadn't cause much of distress. Then there was Windclan- a place she'd never get to see cause they lived all the way on the other side of the territories. Though she could picture the moorlands pretty easily, blank and empty with the sky streching out as far as they eye could see. At least without Windclan ruining the moors, it would be a pretty place in her mind. Regardless! The clans seemed so tense lately since the death of Emberstar and Bananapaw found herself outside of camp more often. It was easier to think, to relax when away from the madness of camp.

White paws padded along the worn pathway of dirt and ferns towards the border, glancing behind her as she had been on patrol with a few others and she didn't want them to worry. The young cat twitched her whiskers slightly as the rushing of the river came into view and the trees opened up into sand. The sky above was a warm blue color with the sun lazily hanging in the sky. New leaf was here and it was welcoming to not have to freeze her paws off. Though there was still patches of snow littering the ground as it hadn't quite melted yet, it wasn't warm enough for that. Slush and wet now, Bananapaw shook a paw as she stepped onto a pacth of whiteness and then looked towards the reeds beyond the river.

Was Riverclan their friend still? She wasn't sure what was going on anymore, there seemed to be a lot of things she was missing out with being home at night. She shook her head slightly to dislodge the thought and turned away from the river, maybe she should head back to the patrol now. Bananapaw didn't want to get into more trouble or any at all, but her curious nature had her stopping and staring. What was life like across the river? In the oak forest? Under the pines?

❝ where the angels sing ✧°.☀ ———————————— The white feet of Catfishpaw fumbled in the river. She was attempting to catch a fish and although she had started out near the temporary camp her feet that refused to give up eventually found her near the old flood site and on past that she ended up on the other side of the riverbed to Thunderlcan and Skyclan. Honestly she felt at this point that returning to camp would not only end up in a punishment, but also humiliation if she didn't have a trout or something in her jaws.

That's when the elegant looking silver tortie misjudged how slippery a rock would be and fell head first into the cool river. She wasn't in any danger expect for looking like a fool, and maybe catching a chill on the long walk back to camp. The loud splash she had made followed by her spluttering as her head popped out of the water surely was a sight. Now she sat drenched and defeated at the water's bank, praying to Starclan that no one had seen the hijinks.

There was a call from behind her as the patrol was moving on, but something caught the young cats attentiona way from the reeds or oak trees. Rounded ears perked forward as splashing could be heard from the river and she was quick to get up from her spot at the shore. If there was a cat drowning she didn't know what she'd do about it. She couldn't swim or anything, but she'd sure as heck try! Trotting down the shoreline, she came upon this cat that was dragging themselves out of the water and she tiled her head to the side.

It was another young cat, a silver tortieshiell, and she appeared to be okay? "Hey! Are you okay?" Bananapaw called from her side of the shore, white paws dancing at the waters edge. Did she need to get in? Maybe she could get Fireflypaw if this cat needed medical attention? Mossy green hues looked towards where her patrol had been- maybe they could help?

But of course, nothing could go well with Bananapaw. She was a walking dangerzone of accidents, and this was one of those times. The tawny and white cat had moved to wade through the water towards this cat when her paw hit a moss-covered rock beneath the surface. Little Bananapaw lost her footing and crashed down into the cold water below with a yelp. Thankfully, it was shallow waters, and she could get up rather easily, but the surprise took a second.

She scrambled upwards with a heavy gasp, "Cold! Very cold!" She breathed shakily. Her body started to tremble slightly, not use to the cold waters of the river and her teeth chattered. Perfect. What a way to finish her patrol.

"SPEECH"
