[what if I say this takes place like right after world revolving]

After being alerted that Daisybreeze was missing, Smallbean organized a search party as soon as he could, wanting to get to the missing warrior before something bad happened to her - if something hadn't already. He'd picked the closest able-bodied warrior and left Fourtrees, which meant that the party was rather small, only consisting of himself and Whisperear. Whisperear was a fine, capable warrior, though, and the deputy trusted them. Besides, they were only looking for Daisybreeze, if there was more than one missing cat he'd have surely called for more warriors.

The deputy led the way across the moors, his mind running almost as fast as his paws. Since Daisybreeze hadn't made it to Fourtrees by now it made him think that she was hurt. What if she had fallen into the crevice? What if something worse had happened? With the minimal damage done to Windclan's territory, at least compared to the other territories, there were still cats who managed to sustain injuries. Anything could have happened to her.

Trying to recall where Daisybreeze had gone that morning, he veered off the side of the path and pushed through the tall grass, squinting to keep it from poking his eyes. Hopefully Daisybreeze was actually in the area he thought she was. If not, this trip could be a lot longer than he intended it to be. Approaching the crevice, but staying a safe distance away, Smallbean called out. "Daisybreeze! Where are you!?" Looking up and down the fissure, he paced a few steps before turning back to Whisperear. "Um, how about you go this way, and I go that way." He gestured up and down the crevice with his paw. "If you hear or find anything... come get me, okay?" Turning away from the warrior, Smallbean began to walk down the crevice, continuing to call for Daisybreeze.

Daisybreeze had managed to not fall into one of the openings when the original earthquake struck. But now was way out in the middle of nowhere unsure of what was going on or where her clan was. She had originally been cut off from the main part of the territoy from a big crack that looked too risky to try and navigate so she went the long way around. She was actually trying to get to the moonstone figuring that would be where her clan would go in such an emergency... after all it made sense right? Windclan was the closest of all the clans to the stone and it offered a good place to regroup until they could figure out what in the world just happened.

It was usual these days for Daisybreeze to spend long periods of time out of camp, away from everyone. She didnt like all the long stares she got from the elders and queens and everyone really. She made her mistake but the memory of her clanmates proved to be quite good. So she was usually out hunting or off on her own. Easier to not be a bother to the ones who wanted nothing to do with her. Even so, right now it felt like the longest she had been away from her clan... she had no idea where they were and if they were even okay.. was her mom alright?? what about her little siblings (half siblings)? ... Flutter? She hissed in frustration ordering her nerves to shut up and let her focus at the task at paw... which right now was trying to see if anyone else was out here. Who knows a clanmate might have been not as lucky as her and fallen into one of these dangerous crack thingies.



As she was going along to that plan trying to get to the moonstone she saw two figures barely even visible out on the distant horizon... defenetly cat... but too far to see who. Her hairs along her back instinctivly rose as she ducked down low... she had no idea who they were they were so far away... they split up and disappeared behind the rolling hills that windclan has. She could feel her heart beat wicked fast... an enemy clan invasion?? This would be a very tactical time to strike windclan while they were weak from whatever this ... thing was. Stars.. if enemy warriors made it to camp it could be devestating for the entirety of her clan. Her mind raced trying to think about the recent gatherings... had any of the leaders been hinting at anti Windclan things?? She couldnt think of any and wished she payed more attention to the things... UGH fox dung well probably skyclan would be the most likely to attack ... that seemed to be their usual strategy kick another clan while they were down. She let out a bit of a growl as she took off running in the direction of one of the enemy warriors who split off.

As she charged forward she knew very well this could be a trap and that Skyclan just wanted to lure her in... so be it! If they were gonna come for her camp she would face them head on stubborn as she always was. 2-1 ... 3-1 odds whatever! She would show them. She almost half hoped this WAS a trap set by them just so she could foil their plan. If it meant slowing them down for Widnclan to prepare for battle it would be worth every minute she could buy for her clan.

"Intruders! Your gonna pay for this! she growled loudly as she reached to top of the grassy hill. She charged down it towards where she last saw the Skyclan cat. Her eyes widened as she relized oh... Her anger and agression immedietly left realizing who it actually was. "SMALLBEAN!!!!???" she cheered shocked but also in relief...

She ran over to him eagerly "Youre okay?! she was so happy to see him... maybe he would know wherethe rest of their clan was.

Stars.. I didnt recognize ya at first... I thought you were Skyclan... I thought I saw someone else with you too?" she mewed tilting her head in question as she glanced around a bit.

She froze seeing the outline of the very clear and recognizable figure now that she was closer... She and Whisperear had't spoken since her appology... at their request.

She still felt terrible about what she had done and it was the reason she was scarcely seen at camp at all anymore. She shifted a bit uncomfortable on her paws unsure of what she should even do next... she met their gaze for a second but just as quickly looked away. She held no ill feelings for them but the reverse was clearly not the case, so her solution was avoidence ... or it had been . But with the recent emergency it looked like the pair of odds and ends would be getting alot more comfortable in their new living quarters of the packed full 4trees.


"ermm... thanks for coming to get me she offered trying to not make the silent awkwardness last any longer.

turning towards Whisperear she paused momentarly
"Coyotegrin? .... the kits? they are okay? ... Flutter and adder? she asked them nervous of what the answer was... if anyone was to know the status of Coyotegrin it would be Whisperear
(ok apart from maybe shrike since they are mates but yeaaa)

Sure, whisperear might hate her guts but they had common family in Coyotegrin and friends in adder and Flutter, ... they would at least tell her they were okay right?

It was like a weight was lifted off of Smallbean's chest when he heard a call return. "Daisybreeze!" His pace quickened to a run as he ran toward the warrior, relieved to see that she didn't have a limp. Somehow, the warrior's first concern was not of herself, but of the clan as a whole. "Yeah, Windclan's.... doing okay enough." He figured it'd be better to mention the state of the injured warriors after they reached Fourtrees. "What about you though, are you okay? Hurt?" His eyes scanned up and down the warrior, inspecting her state with trained eyes. As far as he could see there was no surface wounds.

"Yeah uh, I brought Whisperear with me to look for you, we should go get them and head back. Oh- um, Windclan's been staying at Fourtrees. All of the clans are staying at Fourtrees." Now that he'd found Daisybreeze, he should get Whisperear so they go to Fourtrees. Turning his head, he called out. "Whisperear! I.. I found Daisybreeze!"

The deputy turned away once Whisperear had arrived, prepared to leave, but he could immediately sense a tenseness between the two. "Oh.. Um.." Perhaps it was a lapse in judgement to bring Whisperear to find Daisybreeze, he didn't really take time to think before leaving Fourtrees. He picked Whisperear because they were reliable and level-headed, and also happened to be unharmed by the shaking. The deputy stood uselessly to the side, looking up to the warriors, waiting for the right moment to suggest going back to fourtrees.
