Uh… Icepelt? Mudfire's a tom.
//Wildpath//
I limped into the warriors den and slumped down into my nest. That had been the worst fight I'd ever been in. I closed my eyes, and the sounds and sights of the battle flowed back into my mind almost instantly. I forced my eyes open again, breathing hard. I couldn't think about that! I hissed out loud to let my anger out.
"Wildpath? Wildpath!"
I could hear Mudfires muffled voice calling me from outside the den.
"In here!" I shouted.
His head appeared in the entrance and his eyes narrowed, sweeping my body, as if looking for evidence of a misdeed. The golden orbs fell to rest on my back left leg, cocked at a strange angle and bleeding from the wolf bite on it. It was the same leg that he had treated when we first met.
Mudfire's eyes widened, "Wildpath! That's a serious injury! And that's your weak leg too! Come into the medicine den, NOW!!!"
I sighed, but struggled up anyway. I tried putting weight on it but it crumpled under me in pain, it seemed to have gotten worse.
"It's the adrenaline," Mudfire growled. "It wore off so the wound hurts more now."
He walked over to where I was lying and helped me up, letting me lean againt him like he did after I escaped from the twolegs. His thick warm pelt felt comforting, and we moved like one cat, steps matching perfectly. We finally reached the medicine den and he forced me into the nest second closest to his, the closest being occupied by Icepelt, who was muttering in his sleep.
"Here," he said, pushing some frost-covered lichen towards me, chew that up and then put it on your wound. You know better than I where it hurts; if it stings that's good." And he stalked off grumbling to himself.
That made Wildpath feel better, more at home, for some reason so after she chewed up the lichen, she fell into a peaceful sleep almost instantly.

Oh! Sorry. 😛

And Icepelt's a she-cat. 🙂

Mudfire checked Snowstar last, by her own choice. Besides a wrenched leg and the bite on her side, she was okay, but he could see how terrified she was, however much she tried to hide it. "Eat these," he said, gruffly, holding out some kind of grass seeds.
She sighed and pushed them away. "They're like poppy seeds, aren't they?"
"Of course. And you're going to take them. You need to rest. You were lucky not to lose a life."
She shook her head. "I've failed my Clan. I've failed Icepelt. Save them for some cat who needs them."
Mudfire growled in exasperation and shoved one of the seeds into her mouth when she heaved another sigh. Then he held it shut until she swallowed obediently. Once she had lapped up the other two, he left her den.
"Mudfire," she called after him, drowsily, "don't forget-it's the half-moon tomorrow."
Mudfire didn't turn around or stop walking. "I know. Stop worrying. I'll go. Now shut up and get some rest."
"Mudfire!" she half-shouted. With a growl he turned around and came back. "What?"
"Icepelt…" Snowstar kneaded the ground with her front paws. "She…she won't…she'll be okay, won't she?"
Mudfire's expression softened for once when he looked at his leader. Her eyes were round and dark, and she looked up at him with a pleading expression. "I hope so. But it's in the paws of StarClan. I'll do everything I can, Snowstar, I promise you."
Snowstar let out a long breath, beginning to fall asleep. Mudfire left her den, and as he did, she thought to herself, If she doesn't…if Icepelt…if she doesn't make it, it'll be all my fault.

Icepelt–
I opened my eyes, but even that small motion was painful. I could hear Mudfire walking around the den, and tried to turn my head to look at him, but couldn't. It hurt too much. Then I heard him leave, and I closed my eyes again.
…..darkness…….
I shut my eyes tight, clearing my head and driving away the darkness, trying to stay conscious. I failed. Miserably.
……………….darkness……………only darkness…………………………………….

Please post, everyone! 🙂 Here is a list of cats according to rank:
Leader: Snowstar
Deputy: Whitefire
Medicine Cat: Mudfire
Medicine Cat Apprentice: None–you can apply, though!
Warriors: Wildpath, Icepelt, Foxclaw
Apprentices: None–apply!
Queens: None (sorry, we can't have any queens suckling kits until we have more warriors).
Elders: None–apply!
OK, back to the roleplay…
Snowstar paced up and down in front of the medicine den. She could hear Icepelt's faint mewings from inside as she struggled with nightmares of…something. So far, the young cat was neither better nor worse–Mudfire said they would know, one way or the other, very soon. She couldn't remain in this halfway stage much longer.
"Want to go for a border patrol?" Whitefire asked, padding up to her. "We can look for some new warriors. Wildpath, Foxclaw, and Mudfire can guard the camp for us."
Snowstar took a deep breath. "Okay." It was something to do, anyway.
Whitefire touched his nose to her shoulder. "She'll be fine." And the two cats walked off together, pelts brushing.

This is about a week after Snowstar's post.
Icepelt–
I woke to the sounds of Mudfire tidying up the den. About half a moon had passed since the wolf attack, and the pain had subsided slightly. I could now move a little; do things like turn my head, and it no longer hurt just to open my eyes. But still I could not stand, or even roll over. My stomach and chest burned horribly when Mudfire and I had tried it. Then he had told me not to try it again.
Now I listened to his movements, and turned my head to look at him. He noticed that I was awake, and came over to stuff more foul-tasting seeds in my mouth. As soon as I had chewed them up, Mudfire left the den. I went back to sleep, still weary.
When I awoke again, Mudfire was nowhere to be seen. Not that he would have spoken to me or tried to entertain me anyway. He would probably make me eat more seeds. So I listened to the sounds of the wind outside.

Can I join, Snowstar? Would it be ok if I was a queen, but my kits were already apprentices? That would be ok, right? That way you could have a queen in your clan, but not kits. Plus you would have 2 apprentices in the clan. Let me know, then i'll post my bio if it's ok w/ you for me to join.
-
So can I join? 🙂
-
Hello? 🙂 Can I join SnowClan? If I can then I'll post my bio.
-
I'm fine with you joining, Cloudflower. I think Snowstar should decide, though.
This is short, I don't have much time right now.
Another 2 weeks after my last post:
Icepelt–
I was now walking again, and the wounds had faded into scars. The clan was groing stronger again, and so was I. I passed by Snowstar as she came back from hunting. I grabbed a ground squirrel from the freshkill pile and went to the warriors' den to eat it.
-
So can I join? 🙂
Name: Cloudflower
Position: queen/warrior
Age: 31 moons
Fur: pale grey, with one black ear
Eyes: grey/blue
(I've read through all the posts and would it be okay if I am from Foxclaw's clan?)
-
Anyone here???
-
Where did everyone go????? TOP TOPTOPTTOPTOPTOPTOPTOP!
-
I'm still waiting for someone to post so I can introduce my character. 🙁 or at least for someone to say that I can join. 🙂
I'm sure it's fine if you want to join. We're very welcoming here.

@ Toppy: I don't know where everyone went! 🙁
I'm going to introduce my character in a little while, i don't have time right now.

OK, I finally found time to post. 🙂
Cloudflower:
I trudged through the deep snow, letting the wind blow me along as I went. I could see an egg-shaped dip in the ground, and small shapes moving around in it. Cats! I ran toward the dip in the snow, my aching legs barely taking me that far. I made it just as my legs gave out, and I heard shouts, though I was too tired to understand them. I felt myself being pulled out of the freezing wind and into a warm den.
"No," I managed to say. "My kits. I have to go back for my kits."
"Where are they?" I heard a voice ask.
"In a small cavern, a little ways east," I told the cat that the voice belonged to. He was a dark brown color, and his amber eyes stared at me with concern.
"Snowstar!" he yelled. "She says she has two kits, and that they're in a cave a little ways east!"
Another cat came into the den, this one pure white with eyes that were both green and blue at one time. "Kits?"
"Apprentices really," I told her. "Stonepaw and Breezepaw are my kits."
She left the den quickly, and I tried to get up to follow her, but collapsed before I got very far. The dark brown cat came and helped me up, and said,
"We'll try to find them."
I wanted to go find my kits myself, but I was too weak. I fell asleep, worried.

There's my post. 🙂
