Bluespeckle padded through the shallow waters just ahead of Alderstrike and Lemonstar. She was keen to make a good catch after her embarrassing loss of the mouse earlier. Right about now she felt like she deserved to lose her warrior name and go back to being an apprentice. What kind of a warrior missed a fat mouse? Even kitty-pets could catch those, for StarClan's sake! A glint of light caught her eye and Bluespeckle sprang at it.

Chuckling inwardly at the sheer level of embarrassment that prickled from Bluespeckle's pelt, Alderstrike began focusing on the area around him. The bubbling of the water drowned out some sounds, but the tall Tom could smell a mouse near by. "One mouse now, then I'll fish."
Crouching low, the gray tom crept forward until he could see the tiny creature right I front of him. He was nearly in place to attack when a breeze blew his scent toward the mouse and it ran. Hissing in annoyance, he booked after it. In moments he caught up to it, but it slipped between his claws and under a hole. "Mouse Dung!" Alderstrike hated loosing a catch.

The water vole that had ventured to the water's edge dodged, and Bluespeckle darted after it. This led to an almost rather comical display of swipes, dodges, and chases that finally ended with the vole leaping straight up in the air desperately and Bluespeckle leaping after it. She landed in the shallow stream with a splash, but the vole was clamped tightly in her fangs. Not the nice clean catch she'd wanted, but hey at least she had a vole.

Lemonstar Leader of RiverClan The sandy colored leader nimbly padded in; her grassy eyes searched the surroundings before resting them on her two clan-mates. "You were very close, Alderstrike," the leader commented as she padded through the water. She loved the feel of water on her pelt. It was where she was happiest. The sandy colored she-cat watched the water intensely, waiting for a form of movement. The leader dove forward at the sight of the water rippling. A brown trout lurked near the surface. The leader hooked her midnight claws into it and killed it, almost instantly.

Bluespeckle buried the vole for later, glancing over at the splash Lemonstar made. She smiled at the Leader when she saw the trout. "Nice catch, Lemonstar!" she called. She padded into the water several fox-lengths down from where Lemonstar was fishing and stood still, watching the water intently and simply enjoying the way it felt running gently over her pelt. The slip streams were her favorite place, she greatly preferred the running water to the still water of the pond. It just seemed so much more, alive.

Nodding his thank you to Lemonstar, Alderstrike crouched on the bank so that his shadow did not creep over the water. He sat stock still have until a fish came within reach and flashed out a paw, flinging the fish into the air and having it flop right next to him. As slippery as fish are, it nearly wiggled back into the water until the large Tom bit down just behind the head to kill it.
Finally happy with himself, the Tom started a pile next to him and waited for another fish to come by. It was nice to spend time with another warrior and his leader like this as it gave them time to bond as a clan. Seeing as there were so few cats, it felt necessary to hold a strong bond with the others to keep the clan up and running.

"Nice catch Alderstrike!" Bluespeckle called, eyeing the impressive fish the Tom had landed. It looked like it might be enough to feed rwo, even three cats. She flashed him a smile than went back to concentrating on the water. She was hoping to bring in more than just the vole she'd caught.

Alderstrike After another fish, the tall warrior padded into the reeds around the stream to try for another mouse or vole. This time he wouldn't miss it. Alderstrike tried his best not to shake the tall water plants as he stalked through them, taking in as many scents as he could. Only one moment later, a small scuttling movement made the gray tabby tom turn and stalk toward it slowly. He made sure to keep the wind in his face as he watched it intently. Dashing forward, Alderstrike pinned a fat water vole between his paws and bit down, killing it quickly. With his pride restored, the warrior pushed out of the reeds and placed his kill on his pile of two fish. Once he looked up to brag, Alderstrike noticed that while he could see and scent Bluespeckle, Lemonstar's scent and yellow pelt had gone. "Bluespeckle. Have you noticed where Lemonstar went? I lost her scent and can't see her." Confused, the warrior tom looked around. Lemonstar had just wanted to spend time with them a moment ago. Where was she?

Bluespeckle looked up, startled. She'd moved down stream a bit, the opposite direction from Alderstrike, with Lemonstar between them. Looking up, she also saw that the yellow she-cat was gone. She picked up the pair of smallish blue-gills she had caught and began walking back towards Alderstrike. After burying her kills and looking around once more a slight feeling of unease crept over here. "I didn't hear or see her go anywhere. How could her scent be gone so quickly?" the she-cat asked a bit nervously.

Alderstrike Alderstrike shrugged, still trying to figure out where she went. "It's almost like she jumped in the river and was swept away." The large warrior commented, licking the fur on his chest flat to try and think. "But we would have heard her calling for help if she was taken by the river. There's no scent of fox or badger. It's just strange." The long-haired gray tabby scanned the land with his amber eyes and his maw wide open, trying to scent her. It was already stale. Had they really been hunting and fishing for so long that Lemonstar had walked away? Looking at Bluespeckle for a moment, the tom sighed. "We should maybe split up to find her. I'll head toward the camp and the boarder with Adderclan." It was a suggestion. Maybe if they searched the territory they'd find her. She could have simply tracked some prey away without them noticing. It was still very concerning to the tom none the less.

Bluespeckle nodded and bounded off in the opposite direction, following the stream and keeping her eyes and ears peeled for any sight or sound of their Leader. "Lemonstar?" she called out tentatively. "Lemonstar!" She picked up her speed as she darted up the stream. There was a scarce scent of the Leader around her, but it wasn't nearly strong enough to follow, and could've been days old, faint as it was.

Alderstrike Alderstrike dashed quickly to the camp and searched. The scent in her den was hers, but not new and the rest of the camp was empty. Now he was really beginning to worry. Where was his leader? Why was Lemonstar's scent everywhere and nowhere at the same time? How was that even possible? Frustrated, the tom searched his side of the territory high and low. He tried to be as meticulous as he could and still didn't find her. "Lemonstar?" Alderstrike yowled loudly as he ran back to the river to meet up with Bluespeckle. "Lemonstar! This is not funny!" He stopped at the stream and looked back and forth, huffing in frustration as he waited for Bluespeckle to finish her search as well. The large tom panted heavily as he had not stopped running since he started the search. This was not going to go well at all.

Bluespeckle splashed back down the river, her heart pounding in her chest. "Lemonstar!" she called again, breathlessly now. There had been no fresh sign of the Leader anywhere. She stopped a moment, gasping, to catch her breath. "LEMONSTAR!" she bellowed again, and several nearby birds exploded into the air in a flurry of feathers and frightened shrieks at the sound of her. But no response from another cat. Bluespeckle picked up her pace again. She'd crossed a bit into BoneClan territory on her search and hoped the Clan hadn't noticed and decided to come after her. She wondered if perhaps Lemonstar hadn't accidentally chased prey over the border and been caught. Seeing Alderstrike ahead of her she felt hope leap into her throat. It died almost as quickly when she saw he was still alone. "No sign of her Alderstrike?"

Alderstrike The gray tom looked up as Bluespeckle came closer and lowered his head at her question. "Her scent is everywhere, but it's too faint to track. She wasn't in camp and there was no scent of the other clans inside the territory." Down trodden, the tom had no clue how she could have gone missing like she had without any word or sound of her. Maybe he had missed something? No. There was nothing to miss. The only things that he had scented were prey, the faint scent of Lemonstar, and the stale scent of a fox that had been driven away nearly three sunrises back. There was nothing. "Well. At least there are only a couple of warriors. I guess we could continue on without a leader. At least until next full moon." The thought of living as a clan without a leader burned in his stomach, but what else could they do without a way to find their leader and no deputy to take over? Alderstrike's mind swam with the fearfulness of what needed to be done.
