A walk under the sun (Open Patrol)

Nightpaw padded towards the entrance of the camp, ready to go on a patrol. The real reason she wanted to go out was that she couldn’t stand to be around the Dark Forest cats that now filled the camp like if it was their home. They shouldn’t even be in the forest in the first place!

She, however, wasn’t going to say that out loud, not after the…last time. She still had the scar over her eye, which had miraculously come out unharmed, a permanent reminder of that awful night when that band of fox hearted cats decided to start spreading their disease between the clans…she couldn’t wait for them to be gone, and she would do anything in her paws to chase them out when the time was right.

Shaking those thoughts she raised her head and waited, wondering if anyone else would like to join.

Daisypatch had been gently cleaning her fur when she saw the apprentice come up to the entrance and stand around with her head up and alert. A patrol? the warrior wondered, and rose to her paws.

Nightpaw always seemed wary around the newcomers in the clan. She couldn't blame her. Although Daisypatch herself admired their strength and followed them to obtain her own, their sudden appearance and presence in camp was chilling. But it was necessary. To an extent.

"Looking for some bored cats to join you?" the white and ginger she-cat meowed, padding up to the apprentice.

Nightpaw looked at Daisypatch and tried to smile, though with all the negative feelings flooding her lately it looked a bit forced. She hadn’t been feeling up to pranking her clanmates like she used to before all this mess, and anyone that knew her well enough would immediately know that if this she-cat with a prankster heart wasn’t doing what she was best at, something was terribly wrong.

She had to admit it though, she was glad to have someone else with her instead of going out by herself. Chatting while patrolling was a nice way to forget all these problems that surrounded the forest lately, even if just for a short time.

“Yeah! I just want to go on a patrol, but going alone is a bit…boring” She looked back at the cats around the camp, wondering if anyone else would like to join them.
