Stargazer looked at the blindingly white snow-capped mountains with her ears pricked.
"Honeypaw, Smokestripe!" she called lightly over her shoulder. "We're looking for lambs ears. It's like, um, well, it's kind of like greenish with spade-shaped leaves. Up here, it should be burried under the snow by a huge oak tree," she contiunued, blinking her dark mysterious blue eyes at the mountains. "Maybe we could find some catnip, if we're lucky," the medicine cat added, shaking snow off her thick starry pelt.
Thank StarClan that all of HailClan was well and thriving.

(<3 the thread name)
Smokestripe padded along confidently. She looked left and right for herbs, she was acting like an over exited apprentice! She dabbed at a yew bush, then as if she remembered deathberries were poisonous she backed away. She seemed much happier out in the forest, less crowded by cats with less responsibilities. But she kept one eye on Stargazer, she would stick to her orders.

Honeypaw bounded through the snow, the white powder sticking to her fur. Shaking it off irritably, she pricked her ears, listening to what the medicine cat had to say.
"Lamb's ears," she muttered under her breath, pushing forward in front of the other cats. Her amber eyes scanned the area for the herb and she opened her mouth, trying to scent it. But if she could smell it, how would she know if that was it or not? She didn't know what it smelled like...
So she decided to ask. "Stargazer, what does lamb's ears smell like?"

The young medicine cat jumped at the light voice that carried to her in the snowy place.
She turned around, her dark blue gaze locking onto Honeypaw.
"Oh. A little tangy, but, a little sweet," she meowed to her.
[[ xD short. I forgot what they smelled like!! -goes to find Dawn- ]]

Honeypaw nodded, determined to show the medicine cat that she was a worthy cat. Though I don't think need to, she thought scornfully. Stargazer seemed to have enough faith in the golden-brown apprentice--more faith than Honeypaw had in herself.
With her mouth wide open and nose to the sky, the faint scent of lamb's ears drifted to her on the gentle breeze. Honeypaw's ears pricked and she headed toward the scent, taking her to the base of a huge tree. "I think I found some...!"

Stargazer's tail shot up quickly as she whipped around to look at Honeypaw.
"You did? Great!" she purred. "Now can you show me where? I think that the breeze must have carried the scent to you!"
The black star-pelted medicine cat blinked her myserious and dark eyes at the apprentice.
She picked her way over to the apprentice, lifting her paws high over the snow.
Just when she thought she was out of the deeper part, her paws sank down into really deep snow.
Crunch!
She sank down into the deep snow, burried up to her ears in the freezing white powdery stuff.
"Oof," she mumbled out, before snow burried on top of her.

Honeypaw spun around as Stargazer's voice suddenly became muffled. Where did she disappear to?
Then her amber eyes caught a dark speck of fur against the snow. Stargazer's ears were right above the level of snow. "Need help?" she called jokingly but surprisingly not sarcastically.
She fell into the same deep snow that the medicine cat was in. "Ugh," she growled crossly, opening her jaws wide in alarm as the snow tumbled on top of her.
It was freezing, being buried in snow.... Honeypaw shivered, hoping Smokestripe would have noticed, and she'd be able to get them out.

Smokestripe leaped forward, headlong into the deep snow. She must have the mind of a kit, playing in the snow. She didn't notice the freezing cold, only her muzzle brushed the snow because of her long legs. "Looks like you need help." She purred. She was almost strangely happy, maybe she just likes winter? She crunched around in the snow; she seemed to have forgotten hunting and was just rolling around like a new apprentice.
(XD My characters so moody. One minute shes all cold, the next shes bouncing around.)

Stargazer felt the snow fall on her more.
"Geht ouht!"
Her voice was cut off as snow filled her mouth.
UGH!
Suddenly, the ground beneath her toppled away, and she fell down into the hole.
What the....in the name of StarClan, what just happened?
She looked around at the hole--it was more like a huge gap in the midst of winding tunnels.
"Um....Honeypaw? Smokestripe?" she called out, her mew echoing thinly through the tunnels.

Smokestripe dug at the snow. The HailClan deputy tumbled down the tunnel almost landing right on Stargazer. She stood up giving herself a brisk shake. "What--? Stargazer, what is this place?" She demanded squaring her shoulders. She lookes around, trying to remember this place. I wonder if a HailClan cat has even ever set foot on this ground, she thought with a tingle of exitement. They could be the first cats ever here!

Stargazer let out a squeak when the deputy landed on her.
That'd hurt later.
"Um...I don't know!" she whispered, her voice carrying again through the tunnels.
There was a smell--it seemed odd, but, she souldn't tell what it was, because the snow had washed it all away.

One moment she was surrounded by snow, the next she was falling through open air.
With a yowl of fear Honeypaw hit the ground, her haunches slamming into a few sharp stones. Painfully she rolled over and stood upright, twisting her head to examine her back.
The rocks had cut into her fur, and she was slightly bleeding. Oh great, the apprentice thought, exasperated. How did she manage to do that?
Then she looked around her. A series of tunnels disappeared in opposite directions, and with a tingle, the HailClan apprentice wondered if they led to other Clans, or if they were the first ones down here before.
Clan life was so exciting!

"Are you alright, Honeypaw?" Smokestripe said. "Do you need Stargazer to look at those scratches?" She looked the honey-gold apprentice over, not sure how bad the scratches were. Then she turned her attention back to the tunnels.
Smokestripe looked around. "We should check out these tunnels. We should know where they lead in case trouble might come from wherever they let out." She said it like she was being serious, but her eyes glimmered with adventure and her paws kneaded the ground with anticipation.

Icestar widened her eyes.
"Honeypaw-- are you okay?!" She winced as she saw the young cat with blood on her. Shaking her head, she curled her tail over her paws.
"Can you stand-- move?" Nervously, she began to pace. |
