Silent River [Open!]

[Night]

Nightstar woke up from a rather peaceful sleep. Her fur went in all directions and she felt groggy. She yawned as she stretched and rose into the sitting position. Nightstar licked at her fur to make it lay back in place. She was pleased when it laid back without any issues and her fur looked as glossy as ever. She licked her small white paw and rubbed it against her face. Nightstar was never really a morning cat, but she had to get up and get patrols going. After she stretched her back, Nightstar trotted out into the clearing. Cats were already up, and it was quite sunny. Nightstar could hear the water trickling around the camp. Today is going to be a good day! Nightstar told herself before going off to find some cats for a hunting patrol. The fresh-kill pile looked a little low, so she should get some cats out there soon. The morning patrol had already left, she could tell by the patrols faded scents. Nightstar went over by the fresh-kill pile and waited to see if she could find a cat who would be willing to go out on the hunting patrol. Perhaps she could even have a little chat with a cat who was already? Whatever was necessary.

"Goood morning RiverClan!" a voice bellowed from inside the dens. Of course, it was followed by several hisses, and a sarcastic, "Actually, you flea-pelt's are right! Morning's ain't good for anything but sleeping in, but it's already well passed the time you should be up! Come on you slackers!"

And who else would be so comfortable bossing around a bunch of Warriors but Ashpelt. With a huge smile on her face, the large cat bounded out into the Camp before stretching until her bones cracked in satisfaction. Oh yes, this was the life! But there was stuff to do and places to see. From what she could tell, the dawn patrol had already left, but one side glance at the fresh-kill pile, Nightstar posting herself beside it patiently, she knew what to do.

"Mornin' Nightstar," Ashpelt called. "Are you leading this morning's hunting patrol? Mind if I join you?"

[Night]

Nightstar almost jumped out of her fur when she heard a voice boom from inside the warriors den. "Goood morning RiverClan!" The voice bellowed from inside the den. Nightstar knew who it was right away. It was most certainly Ashpelt! A few hisses followed Ashpelt's booming voice, and Nightstar laughed to herself. Ashpelt was in a good mood! But then again, she usually was. That's just how Ashpelt is. Nightstar watched the large tabby she-cat bound out of the warriors den with a huge grin on her face. Nightstar laughed once again. At least she had lots of enthusiasm! Ashpelt met eyes with Nightstar and called to her. "Mornin' Nightstar," Ashpelt called to her. "Are you leading this morning's hunting patrol? Mind if I join you?" Nightstar was startled by this question. Of course she could lead the hunting patrol! how come she hadn't thought of that before? Nightstar licked her fur in embarrassment and called back to Ashpelt. "Yes, Ashpelt! And while your at it bring a couple other cats with us! We need lots of fresh-kill!" Nightstar called back to the senior warrior. With Ashpelt's enthusiasm, the hunting patrol was sure to be a successful one! Nightstar's shiny amber eyes brimmed with happiness just thinking about it! Just because she was a leader didn't mean that she didn't like to have fun! Nightstar waited patiently for Ashpelt to return.
