Duskstar's touch only comforted the apprentice slightly. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself as the StarClan cats faded away. Tutelapaw looked up at her leader, still with wide eyes, though her body was not as tense as before. "D-duskstar?" Tutelapaw stuttered nervously, blinking her large eyes, already regretting speaking.
"Yes Tutelapaw?" Duskstar's eyes had softened as she saw the terror on Tutelapaw's face. "It's alright, they were StarClan cats. They didn't mean us any harm. It's alright now." She looked forward again and turned toward Timbersong. "I think it means we have to get out of here. And if the other clans don't decide to come, I'm taking ThunderClan and leaving."

"That was not comforting either!"
"It is the way of the Creed. Usually our deaths are violent but quick."
A moon left to live. Just one moon left. Oh StarClan! she thought. What are we going to do? Timbersong stared at the spot the cats left. "How would we warn the clans?" she asked. "We're so far apart now.."
"That was weird but why did they say only a month to get out thats what I dont get" Said Aurapaw. "All we know is we have to get Thunderclan out since Starclan said all may die so we gotta get out of here."

Ooc: btw, grats Tutey, and we'll have it as soon as we get back to camp o3o
Ic: "Mm...yes yes..at least the Gathering is tomorrow. I can tell the other Clan leaders about it, and hopefully they'll listen. They may just think that it's us being scared and wanted to get away from the fighting. I hope not.." Duskstar padded on, heading back to camp. "However, I do have one scrap of good news," at this, Duskstar smiled tiredly. "It's time you were made a warrior Tutelapaw."

Timbersong smiled. Tutelapaw; a warrior. She was such a great apprentice even though she wasn't the young she-cat's mentor. Timbersong heard stories on how Tutelapaw would bring back more prey then other apprentices, etc. It was about time. She turned around. "Duskstar, do you want to head back to camp and warn the clan members?" Timbersong asked.
Duskstar nodded. "That's where we're heading now. Forget the border patrol. It's too dangerous to send out cats anyway." She picked up the pace to a fast trot, speeding up their return home. When she did reach the camp, she heard the subdued murmurs of recuperating clanmates. She padded in through the tunnel, slowing down so as not to alert them. Instead of going to her den however, she leaped up to the Highledge and stood there, waiting for the rest of the patrol to come back. "May all cats old enough to catch their own prey join here under the Highledge for a clan meeting!" she yowled, pulling the attention up to her.

Tutelapaw had been silent since the news, and was now sitting at the base of the Highledge, trembling, with an ecstatic shine in her different-colored eyes. She waited patiently as she could as her Clan came out of their dens, gathering beneath Duskstar; the cats murmured questions to one another, wondering what the meeting could be for.
