Month 9 - Leaffall

The nursery was quiet. Smokyrose sat curled around the sleeping forms of her kits, her two baby girls. Sagetooth had insisted that it was important for her to be left alone after the birth, that it was important for a mother to get to know her kits without any extra stressors. Still, Smokyrose felt utterly and deeply alone. 

She wished someone was there. She felt like she ought to want Ghost there with her, but she almost couldn’t bear the thought of him, somewhere else, not missing her at all, possibly plotting against her Clan. Instead, she found herself longing for Currentseeker most of all. She could almost see her big brown muzzle laid over her back, smell the sunshine and river water on her fur. 

Look at them, she would say, our perfect little monsters. They will be monsters - once their eyes are open. I can just tell. 

“We always wanted a litter of our own,” murmured Smokyrose. “I just wish you were here. I wish they would be able to know you.” Her mind failed to imagine a proper response and the image of her beloved slipped away from her grasp. She sighed and the act seemed to break the seal that had been holding back the emotion trapped inside her. Tears pooled in her eyes and her expression crumpled pathetically. She was exhausted and moody and so, so alone. The fight earlier had done nothing but make her feel even more alienated from her Clanmates. She wished- Stars, what did she wish? That Scorchplume had told her? That Ghost was here? That she had never met him? That Currentseeker had never died? There was too much going on, too much she wanted to change. 

Ultimately, she wished that things were different. 

“Smoky?” 

She lifted her head, sniffling, and saw Songdust standing in the nursery entrance. “Oh, Songdust,” she tried to smile, wiping at her cheek with a paw. “Please, come in. Are you here to see the girls?” 

“Yeah,” Songdust said carefully as she approached. “Are you alright?” 

Smokyrose opened her mouth to lie but couldn’t bring herself to say yes. “No, but I guess that’s to be expected. I’ll be okay in time.” She knew that in her head even if it felt impossible right now. 

“I’m sorry,” Songdust said, settling down beside her. “I know you’re upset-”

“It’s fine,” Smokyrose said firmly. “Let’s just forget about it.” 

Songdust sighed. “What are their names?” 

Smokyrose looked back down at her kits, her perfect, special, wonderful little girls and sighed as well. “This is Fogkit,” she said, her tail tip touching lightly over the back of the sleeping, pale grey tabby. “And this is Slatekit,” she said, nosing the kit that seemed the perfect image of herself. 

“What lovely names,” Songdust said softly, nuzzling up against Smokyrose’s cheek. 

“Thank you,” she purred weakly, leaning in to the very welcome touch. An unexpected yawn parted her jaws, causing Songdust to chuckle. 

“Should I let you sleep?” Songdust asked, shifting to stand, and Smokyrose reached out to pull her back.

“No,” she said quickly. “Or- Would you stay with me while I sleep?” 

Songdust smiled and nodded. “Of course, Rose.” She stood just enough to scoot forward, stretching out to wrap around Smokyrose with the kits nestled between their bodies. Smokyrose sighed in relief and laid her head over Songdust’s tail, allowing herself to close her eyes. Sleep came quickly and gently, a much needed rest accentuated by the feeling of her kits’ heartbeats against her side.

UPDATES:

- Smokyrose had a litter of two kittens, Fogkit and Slatekit. She refuses to talk about their father.

Imagine your mate cheating on you with a kittypet, then you leave your clan with your kits to live on your own with them only to be swept away by flooding from a storm, watching your kits grow up without you from starclan, watching one of them become resentful to the point they start killing other cats, only to be killed himself, and because of him killing cats you cant reunite with him. Then you get assigned to watch over a cat who turns out to have gotten hurt secondhand by your son, and she then becomes resentful of you. That's basically Leaffalls life (and death)

Moon 6 : Leaffall : Year 6

Downpaw is killed by a Birchclan warrior while hunting close to the Lake Mouth. It is unknown if the warrior knew Downpaw had half clan heritage. After the death, Lavenderstar declares Pineclan to be hostile to Birchclan from then on.

Downpaw's whole family sits vigil for a day.

Foxpaw, Brightpaw, and Fernpaw all pass their assessments and travel to the Star Hollow to receive their warrior names. They are named Foxfire, Brightblink, and Fernflick, respectively.

Archpaw, Jumpdust, Foxfire, and Hatchspring all have a shared vision one night. None of them understand the connection nor why it occured.

Month 9 - Leaffall

“What are we looking for again?” asked Aldertail. 

Oddstripe smiled over his shoulder, happy to answer the question one more time, and said, “Wild Garlic. It’s got big, flat, green leaves and sparse white flowers. You should be able to smell it by the time we get close, it's fairly pungent.”

“Right,” Aldertail nodded several times. Oddstripe glanced down at her raw forelegs with the distinct feeling that if they hadn’t been walking, she would have paused to groom them again. It was strange, he thought, that she would continue to lick her skin even after it had gone red and raw. The fur was patchy and sparse, like she’d torn it all out, and he couldn’t understand what could compel her to do such a thing. Sagetooth had told him that it wasn’t unheard of, that some cats who were particularly nervous or depressed had been known to tear their own skin apart or rip out chunks of their fur. She said that there wasn’t a direct cure, that treatment consisted of tending the wounds and talking with someone to resolve the underlying cause. 

Aldertail was looking at him again. The moment she realized he had seen her, she averted her gaze guiltily, and he flushed with embarrassment. In the time she’d been in camp, she spent a lot of time watching, but it felt to him like she watched him the most. He had the feeling it had to do with his being a tom and he had to wonder if he would have stared if there had been someone else like him in the Clan when he’d arrived. He wondered if she was staring out of recognition, if she saw herself in him even if she didn’t know it, or if she was staring because he was a strange oddity to her. Oddity, ha. He’d almost forgotten that most cats before RisingClan had found him odd. 

But with Aldertail, he could tell he was odd in a way he hadn’t been before. Once, he had overheard her call him a ‘pretender’ while talking to Branchbark. A pretender. Was he just pretending? No, he thought, the joy he had felt every time his kits called him Papa wasn’t pretending. StarClan had even blessed him with a deeper voice and every time he heard it coming out of his mouth it made him smile. So why had Aldertail called him that? He wasn’t sure.

“Do you smell that?” Aldertail asked suddenly as she stopped in her tracks. Oddstripe blinked and opened his mouth to scent for the garlic. Had they really walked to the patch already? It wasn’t garlic that hit his tongue though, it was a cat smell, and a familiar one.

“Oh!” he smiled, looking around. “That’s Stormwhisper! What is he doing here?”

“Stormwhisper?” Aldertail repeated in confusion. 

The scent was close and Oddstripe bounded to the top of the hill to see if he could spot him. A few fox lengths a way, through the grass, he spotted the grey-furred tom and his grin widened. 

“Stormwhisper! Hey!” he called, waving his tail. Aldertail crept up behind him, tail twitching nervously. Stormwhisper twisted around, ears pressed back instinctively, before he spotted Oddstripe.

“Oh, hey, Oddstripe,” he called back, sounding like a kitten caught in the honey stores. 

“What are you doing out here?” asked Oddstripe, tilting his head as he closed the distance to the other Healer. Sagetooth had told him that Healers were permitted to cross the borders with good reason, to ask for help or bring news to other Clans, but Stormwhisper hadn’t been heading towards the camp at all and as far as Oddstripe was aware, Healers weren’t supposed to just go off and harvest other Clans’ herbs on their own. 

Stormwhisper shifted awkwardly and softly said, “I’m, uh… going on a journey. Out of the territories.”

“Really?” Oddstripe gasped. “What for?” 

“I’m… following a dream I had,” he admitted. Oddstripe couldn’t help but feel like he was still holding back, though.

“A dream,” he breathed in awe, “like from StarClan?” 

“Yeah,” Stormwhisper nodded. “I think. It wasn’t very specific but… I have to check it out.” 

“Oh, okay,” Oddstripe nodded. He had a feeling that Stormwhisper was done elaborating. Oh well, his curiosity would just have to wait.  “Well, safe travels. May StarClan light your path.”

“Thank you,” he said. “I shouldn’t be gone for too long, a month at most. Hopefully Sagetooth won’t make too much of a fuss when I miss the gathering.” 

Oddstripe winced sympathetically, “Yeah, let’s hope.” Stormwhisper nodded and turned to continue walking through the territory, heading East, towards the forests where Oddstripe had once lived. He wondered what StarClan needed Stormwhisper to do - if Sagetooth would know or if asking her would just cause trouble. Beside him, Aldertail shifted from her crouch to peer after Stormwhisper and Oddstripe realized with a pang of guilt that the two of them had entirely ignored her.

“Oh, I’m sorry,” he said, “I didn’t even introduce you!”

“That’s alright,” Aldertail ducked her head in apology, “I didn’t expect you to.”

“Well, I should have,” Oddstripe said with a smile. 

“Oh, okay. Sorry.”

Oddstripe winced, not exactly sure what he could have done better but wishing that he had. “Well, either way, let’s keep looking for that garlic.” 

“Of course!” Aldertail nodded hurriedly, licking her forelegs twice. “I should have been looking this whole time!” 

“Oh, no, no, you’re alright,” he assured her with an uneasy laugh. “We’re not in any rush, you don’t have to worry. Besides, I’d love to get to know you better.” 

“Me?” she asked, looking around as if there were someone else he might have been speaking to. 

“Oh, yes,” Oddstripe purred as he started walking again. “I’d love to hear about you!”

“W-what about me?” Aldertail asked, slinking along behind. 

“Anything,” shrugged Oddstripe, “your favorite food, what you do for fun, a favorite memory… anything!” 

“Oh, uh…” Aldertail chewed her lip in thought. “I- I don’t know, sorry. I’m not very interesting.”

“I doubt that’s true,” Oddstripe smiled. Then, opening his mouth to scent the air, he said, “Oh, there it is! Look, you can smell the garlic up ahead!” Aldertail opened her mouth too, took a deep breath, and then grimaced at the smell. 

“Eugh, that’s garlic?” 

Oddstripe laughed. “Yeah. Not a great smell, is it? Come on, the patch is just up ahead.” He led the way through the tall grass, bouncing brightly with each step. His enthusiasm faded, however, when he came into the patch to find the grass had been torn up and eaten.

“Oh, no!” he cried, searching around for any sign of an intact bulb. “Curse those ground squirrels!” 

“It’s all gone?” Aldertail asked. She pawed at some of the flowers that had been scattered about, frowning. 

“Looks like it,” sighed Oddstripe. “Damn it!”

“What do you need this garlic for, anyway?” asked Aldertail. Oddstripe sighed again. He knew that most of the warriors didn’t care about herbs in the slightest but he wished they would. It was so tiring to have to defend his interests, even if the other cat wasn’t actually trying to disparage them. 

“It’s good for infections,” he said, “we chew it up and put it on wounds.”

“And that… stops infections?” she frowned. 

“Yeah, it does. That and a few other herbs, like horsetail.”

“That’s amazing,” said Aldertail, and Oddstripe blinked in surprise. 

“You think so?”

“Of course!” Aldertail nodded, smiling for perhaps the first time he had ever seen. “Your spells can save lives!”

“They’re not spells,” Oddstripe laughed. “It’s called medicine. The herbs already have the natural properties to cure diseases and ease pain, we just learn them and apply them as needed.”

“That's amazing,” Aldertail said again. “I thought only humans had that kind of power.”

“Oh, they do?” asked Oddstripe and Aldertail nodded. “I had no idea! I’ve never met a human.” 

“I have,” Aldertail nodded. “I mostly avoid them now that I’ve been notched, but sometimes they leave out food for us.”

“Huh,” Oddstripe said to himself. “Do they ever give you herbs or anything?”

“No,” Aldertail shook her head. “Not me at least. They only grace their chosen companions with such mercies. I’m just chaff.”

“Chaff?” Oddstripe tilted his head. 

“Mhm,” she nodded, looking down at her paws. “Chaff is like… the bits of grain that have no use. We’re the cats the humans didn’t want around. They judged us and found us unworthy, that’s why we have our ears notched.” She gestured to her cut ear in shame and then gave the leg a few rough strokes with her tongue, wincing at the tug. 

“Oh, honey, don’t hurt yourself,” Oddstripe frowned. 

“Huh?” Aldertail looked up, confused. 

“Your legs! They must be so raw. Why do you keep licking at them like that?”

“Oh, I don’t know,” Aldertail said with a shrug. “It makes my brain quieter.” 

“Huh. Well, let me see if I can make your legs feel better.” He gave the patch one more disappointed glance and then started back towards camp. “I’ve got some herbs that should be able to soothe the skin a little.”

“A-alright,” nodded Aldertail, falling obediently into step behind him. “If it’s not too much trouble.”

He hitched his step to fall back into pace beside her. “No trouble at all. I love mixing poultices.” He saw confusion on her face and added, “That’s an herb mixture.”

“Oh. Okay,” she smiled slightly although her ears pressed back with nerves. 

“It’ll be great,” he grinned, bumping gently against her. “Maybe I can show you the herbs I’ll use to do it! That way you can help me gather them in the future.”

“Okay,” blushed Aldertail shyly. “Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it,” he purred. “I’m glad to help.”

Tried changing the way I draw cats a little. I feel like I constantly made the eyes too large, so I tried making those smaller. And I changed the paws a little too bc they felt uncomfortable drawing them how I used to

Yall got Leaffall art out of it tho because I havent drawn her once and felt it was unfair to her, I might try and make this a sticker

Moon 8 : Leaffall : Year 3

Mintstar debates with Rowanheart if she should declare war on the group of rogues that has now settled a camp near the Lake Mouth. Rowanheart advises against it due to how recent Mintstar came into power, but encourages a few patrols to go around the area.

Palejaw and Curlypelt manage to defeat a coyote that was wandering too close to the camp. The victory is widely talked about!
