Post 18 Scorn and Sugarfoot watched the group of cats work to get the kits out of the upwalker nest, "They are cute little fluff balls." Sugarfoot meowed quietly.
"Loud ones too." Scorn added, not really interested in the kits as he took in the new cats.
Sugarfoot shook her head, "Did you hear about the accident with Cobrafang?"
"Who?"
"The molly that was hit by the monster." Sugarfoot added.
"Yeah, heard Finn was with them too and he was the one that had them cross on the icy path." Scorn said with disgust.
"That path usually has no monster on it though, so I don't think he would have let it happen if he had known." She meowed. The two stayed silent for a little while and watched the family reunite. "I would like our own..." she said ever so quietly.
Scorn knew exactly what she was talking about. The thought terrified him so he acted like he did not hear and prayed she would not confront him.
It didn't seem to happen though as Sugarfoot nudged him, "Scorn, lets have a family of our own." When he saw the look in her eyes he couldn't help but give in.
"They would be cute little fluff balls." He meowed, turning to lead the way to a more private area.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The little alcove was so quiet now that the apprentices have moved on and Russentnose sighed.
"What's wrong?" Duke meowed in amusement.
"It was nice to have the apprentices here, it was like a little family." Russentnose admitted, looking at the nests the apprentices had made.
Duke looked at the molly, who wasn't even looking at him, and licked the top of her head before saying, "Why don't we start our own family?"
Russentnose looked at Duke now, a rather large smile on her face, "Really? You want to start a family?"
Duke shrugged with a nod, "We have oodles of free time now, the snow is melting, and that means there will be plenty of prey. It's a perfect time to start a family, don't you think?" Russentnose nodded and the two enjoyed the silence together for some time.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Finnegan sat alone for sometime with his thoughts. He couldn't help but go back to the battle he had with that strange tom and how he wasn't even able to protect himself. He hated that he had to have help from Maple, the molly that saved him. How was he supposed to keep every cat safe? He even let Cobrafang die, leading them across the icy path to get hit by a monster. He knew better and she had just moved to the city.
The tom couldn't bare to think about it anymore and went down a row of upwalker homes he had not been down before, the place is always changing around here and it seems like there was always new things. Just then out of the corner of his eye he spotted a young cat that looked familiar, "Nutmeg?" he called out.
The young tom looked over, "You know my name?" They asked.
"Yes! I met you when you were just a little kit?" Finn smiled.
"You know my mom? Is she looking for me?" Nutmeg asked.
"She has been since the day you left, she has been looking for all of you." Finn meowed.
"Can you take me to her?" Nutmeg began to plead.
"Of course, she lives a good ways from here, so stay close." The watcher meowed as he lead the way, a small voiced was in the back of his mind, 'not like you can protect him'. He shook his head and tried to push the negative thoughts out, focusing on the path ahead of him.
The two walked all the way to Winter's garden, the molly coming out as she saw the two. She immediately noticed her son and ran to him, tears forming in her eyes, "I've missed you so much!" she meowed.
Nutmeg wailed like a kit, "Mom! I missed you so much! I was so scared." he sniffled.
"What happened? How did you get out?" Winter asked.
"I was taken by these upwalkers, but after I got bigger I accidently hurt one of them and they put me outside. I have never been back since." Nutmeg meowed.
"It's okay. Finn can get a cat to show you how to live out here. Right Finn?" Winter looked at the watcher.
Finnegan nodded, "Anything for you darling." he purred.
Nutmeg leaned in and asked Winter, "Is he your mate?"
Winter chuckled, "No sweetie, he is a dear friend."
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Barknose watched as Mudspots and Ryne calmed his siblings down, every time he had come near them they would wail and hiss at him without end. Growing tired of it the tom left so they could calm down, of course he would be back to try again, be he knew it would take some time for them to be comfortable around him.
Barknose entered a rather nice garden and thought it would be a great spot to relax for a while, he was greeted with a rather friendly, "Hello." from a pure white molly.
"I'm sorry, I can leave if you want." Barknose started as he got back up.
"It's okay, I don't mind sharing." Winter purred, "My name is Winter, I was there when we got the kits out, I don't think we have met before?" she asked.
"Thank you for being so kind to my siblings, my dad and I kind of came in at the wrong time." Barknose admitted. "My name is Barknose, and my dad is Mudspots."
"Clan names are so weird." The kittypet chuckled. "I thought you would be reuniting more with you family?"
Barknose shrugged and huffed, "They are terrified of me, so I backed off a bit for them to calm down. Don't worry though, I wont give up on them and will eventually win them over."
Winter smiled at that, "You seem very sweet, I have no doubt that one day you will." Barknose smiled at her and the two sat in silence for a while, Barknose even fell asleep and Winter went back inside the upwalker den.

Mocha's Background "Keep up Mocha." The tom growled.
Mocha put an extra step in his stride as he tried to keep up with his mentor, his father. "My feet hurt so much, can we please rest?" he pleaded.
"No." The tom meowed as he continued on. They were tracking a cat down that Sir had wanted dead and had no time to waste as the leader wanted their whereabouts within days.
Mocha felt the ache in his paws and wanted to stop anyways, but he knew the consequences if he did, so pushed himself to keep going.
"Do you remember the scent we are after?" The tom meowed gruffly.
Mocha had forgotten, but dared not admit it and had nodded. It was a mistake because Rius asked, "Which way did they go?"
Mocha did his best not to look fortified as he scented the air, the ground, and the nearby walls, anything for a scent. He looked at Rius who had grown impatient and narrowed his eyes at Mocha. Mocha took one more smell before pointing his nose in the wrong direction and meowed, "That way."
"Fool." Rius growled, moving closer to Mocha and swatting him without claws, a kinder warning. "Pay attention, this is the scent we need." Rius meowed as he moved to a patch of ground that was heavy with the scent they were after. "They stopped here to rest it seems, and they had something to eat."
"I'm sorry father." Mocha meowed, taking in the scent again.
"My name is Rius, don't forget that. Especially around Sir." Rius let Mocha get the scent again before saying, "You lead the way now, don't lose the scent again." he growled.
"O-okay." Mocha stuttered, Rius thumped him against the head again, not even having to repeat what he taught him earlier about being confident in what he says. Mocha then lead the way and did his best to follow the scent, getting stumped when the scent grew faint. Rius pointed with his nose in the right direction and couldn't help but be amazed at how great his father's nose was.
With how fast the pair were tracking this cat down it did not take long to eventually run into them and find them, Rius took over the search then and got close fairly close to the cat. Mocha was instructed to sit and watch every move and detail, and he did. He watched as his father stalked this cat in their own shadow, no sound, no scent, nothing was letting the cat know that Rius was there. Rius gathered as much information as he could before he returned to Mocha, "Looks like they are doing their job, just in a very weird way. Let's go inform Sir, we will leave the rest up to him and the brutes."
"We don't have to attack this one?" Mocha asked as they started to head in Sir's direction.
"No. Sir only wants to know if they are doing their job or not. This cat is a brute and was tasked to kill a cat that has been hunting in Sir's territory." Rius explained.
"Shouldn't that cat have a tracker like you helping them?" Mocha asked.
"They did." Rius meowed and left it at that. Mocha had more questions but he knew his father was not patient enough to answer them all and he chose to stay quiet and just walk. When they were close to Sir's hideout Rius reminded Mocha to call him Rius, Mocha nodded in understanding and decided he would try to stay quiet anyways.
When Rius and Mocha got close to Sir the scent hit them both, it was Mocha's mother. Rius did his best to not look bothered by the events going on, but Mocha couldn't help himself, "Mom?" he meowed in shock.
"Ah, so you know her." Sir's smile spread across his face.
Rius noticed the scent of blood way before Mocha and asked, "Where are the other two?"
"How bold of you Rius." Sir growled, "Looks like you hid this from me, but not very well." Rius' eyes grew wide, "You killed them?" Rius looked at his mate and saw the distant look in her eyes, confirming his suspicions.
"Capable paws, hidden away, and for what?" Sir spat at the tom.
"Father.." Mocha meowed, realizing his mistake as he said it. Sir lashed out at Rius, blood rushing down his father's face as a cut below the eye was made. Sir turned to Mocha and growled, "How dare you speak, no one is talking to you." Sir went to strike Mocha but Rius moved in the way, taking another blow from Sir.
"Leave him out of it." Rius spat.
"Oh? And if I don't?" Sir taunted, moving closer to Mocha's mother, and without warning delivered a final blow to the molly's throat.
"No!" Both toms cried out, but both were to late.
"Such weakness." Sir muttered. "And to belive you liked this molly? She gave you weak offspring, Rius." Sir tsked. The tom's eyes looked at Mocha, pure evil stared Mocha down and the young tom couldn't help but shrink down.
"Don't Sir, I'll do anything. I have even been training him to track like me." Rius pleaded.
"What else have you been doing behind my back?" Sir lashed out angrily. "I had to set up todays events just to find this out. And here I thought you were a trusted scout of mine."
"I'm sorry, I promise I won't do it again." Rius pleaded, "Please don't kill him, don't take away my whole family."
"Oh don't worry Rius, I won't be taking your family away." Sir chuckled as he continued to look at Mocha, "I'm taking his family away."
Mocha was confused, but Rius understood exactly what was being said, "Please." was all his father could say.
"Shut up." Sir spat, "Lets see what you can do, boy." Sir stepped aside and ordered, "Kill him." Sir ordered Mocha.
Mocha shook his head in shock of every thing, he couldn't even move.
Rius knew he couldn't do anything, and the only way he could save his son is by proving how strong Mocha was, so he launched the attack first, hoping Mocha's instincts would kick in. And they did as the two fought, Rius focused on making the battle look like a great show for Sir, and letting Mocha look like a capable fighter. In the end Rius collapsed at Mocha's blow to the head, the father closed his eyes as Mocha struck once more and killed Rius.
Sir smirked at the shocked tom, "Mocha was it? It looks like you are strong. Let this be a lesson to you, don't ever go behind my back." he warned with a growl. Sir then called out a cat he has never met before, "This is Kaine, he is your mentor. You will continue your tracking training with him. Now get out of my sight." Mocha looked at his parents once more before leaving with Kaine.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Kaine takes Mocha to train with Sir and Maple, forced to spar. Mocha is smitten by the molly but pushes it to far and Maple begins to hate him.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
After maple left sir orders mocha to find her. mocha agrees and on his journey (he has an apprentice) he bides time, but eventually catches up to her. he is torn on what to do and has a dream with his father, telling him to stand his ground with maple, all will be alright. so mocha comes up with a plan, not realizing his apprentice is Sir's very own son.

duke has been a very dotting mate and father to be, stocking up prey in his den and making sure dotty is close by, even making the medicine cat a nest to sleep in and providing her food.

Post 23 Mocha finds out that his old rogue group is coming to kill Maple and he is trying very hard to get the mollies to move. Maple of course is stubborn and Calla asks why so he lies and says something like he doesn’t want so many cats around that he doesn’t trust because he loves both of them. There is truth in it but Calla now calls him her mate. That makes Maple mad at Mocha and thinks she is secretly talking to Mocha but Calla over heard and now they are all one big happy family and love each other. Calla wants kits, but Mocha knows what is coming and blames himself for not being ready, Calla accepts this but Maple knows there is more but cant get it from Mocha, so refuses to leave the neighborhood until he says whats really up.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

barknose talks to winter about her leaving her upwalkers so they could start a family, she says she will think about it a bit more, because she is attached to the furless kits.
