HillClan Article: a day in the stoyline HillClan

Poppytail walked into the HillClan camp and sighed. It was a beautiful day, really. She'd trade a lot of finch feathers for today to be anyday. But since she couldn't do that,s he decided to keep going with her life. She settled down to eat next to Russelleaf, and Grasscloud. The two warriors were talking about their apprentices. Poppytail stared at the shy Russelleaf. It was her first apprentice.

"How is training Rowanpaw working?" asked Grasscloud. He was a senior warrior, one of the oldest and brightest of the Clan's senior warriors. The Clan valued his intelligence and loyalty. He was a great member to the Clan. She nodded to him and lied down. He had been a warrior when she was an apprentice, making him older than her.

"Hello, Poppytail," the others greeted.

"Hi, Grasscloud. Russelleaf." She dipped her head to them as she spoke, then lied down. She decided to listen instead of talk.

"So, how is training Rowanpaw, Russelleaf?"

He shook his head. "We went on a morning border patrol, but Amberface wants us to take the rest of the day to hunt. I think he's getting tired." he added.

Which is why I don't have an apprentice, though Poppytail to herself.

Grasscloud nodded. "I'm worrying about our deputy. Amberface is a great, loyal cat, but she is still grieving over the loss of Talonfang." The older deputy--who had been Amberface's mate--had been killed of the weakness of the HillClan home. He had been hit by a moving monster that had taken so many lives already.

"Quite frankly," put in Poppytail. She felt such an urge to talk she couldn't resist. "I don't understand what Smashstar was thinking. Amberface is a great warrior, and she works really hard, but we have more qualified, SENIOR warriors that could've filled the position."

Russelleaf stared at her shyly. "But Amberface was the closest cat to Talonfang at the time. She would know all about his plans and what he wanted to go on. Besides, she acts wonderfully as the current deputy."

Grasscloud and Poppytail nodded, agreeing. "Perhaps," put in Grasscloud, staring at the ground.

"But to abandon her kits...!" Poppytail glared at the ground. She was a senior warrior, but she couldn't understand why ANYONE would give up their kits like that. "They were his too, you know," she added sadly.

"Yes," said Grasscloud, rising to his feet. "And Waterecho is more than capable of caring for them."

"True, true," said Poppytail, rising to her feet also. And the three HillClan warriors turned back to their duties.

Bluefire7777 Cool nice story

SoyalaLeisu Thank you. I took it from one of the newer stories. Which is weird cuz in the "Story" HillClan's leader is Thistlestar at the moment, and Smashface is a warrior, not even the deputy. Poppypaw is an apprentice to Swiftwing, who isn't alive anymore at this point in the series. o_O odd how the story progresses and you just don't notice.

Bluefire7777 Cool

Pennypatch321 oh wow. interesting! yeah, it is odd on how stories progress...

Bluefire7777 wow evry1 says cool bout evrythin

zhuzhupets123 yeah....

SoyalaLeisu Poppytail is my favorite of the HillClan cats, along with Talonfang, Coralfoot, Pointyclaw, Fierceclaw, Bouldertail, and Wheattail.

Moonbeam2 who are these cats im confused?????????????

ferretandsilt They're characters in the stoyline HillClan. We kinda...borrowed...the name HillClan from SoyalaLeisu. The original HillClan consists of several different cats. Thistlestar is the leader in the first book and it moves on eventually...ask her about it.

The Nine Lives of Sandstar

posted by SoyalaLeisu

Sandcloud and Mintleaf padded side by side up the battle field. They had been grieving the loss of Slitherstar all night. After his death, Lionstar had blindly run through the forest. Silverstripe sat at the border every day now, awaiting her leader's return. Sandcloud had told her that Lionstar's insanity had gone far enough, and that he could no longer be considered a leader.

Silverstripe, though agreeing, had decided to wait anyway. Everycat knew that the large black and silver she-cat had been mentored by Liontail when he was deputy. It must feel awkward not to have him around anymore.

Sandcloud...

Let all cats old enough to hunt for their own prey join in the Clearing for a Clan meeting!

Sloewhisker has informed me that he thinks Ashpaw is sufficient enough in training to be made a warrior.

Mintleaf has informed me of her agreement and that we have the approval of SoulClan.

I, Slitherstar, leader of HillClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon this apprentice, for he has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend him to you in his turn.

Ashpaw, you have trained hard. You are a great hunter, and Sloewhisker comments daily on your great fighting skills....

Honeykit's adventure

posted by Tigerslily

Honeykit was talking to her sister Specklekit, she was telling her about what the woods look like and all of the pretty plants. honey kit was wondering why Specklekit got to go on an adventure and she didn’t so that night she sneaked out of camp. As she was walking through the woods she looked at the plants and loved how they were all different. After walking awhile she sat down in a patch of clover and started thinking about what Specklekit told her. Just then she heard a low scuffling sound and then a little creature walked out she knew what it was it was a mouse and she was going to catch...

New Apprentices

Slitherstar dipped his head to Mintleaf. "Specklekit it is," he said. He padded out of his den and leapt onto the Whiterock and padded to the edge...

Let all cats old enough to hunt for their own prey join beneath the Whiterock for a Clan meeting! It is time for us to name our new apprentices. Specklekit and Honeykit have been kits for six moons, and now it is time to have new apprentices. Honeykit and Specklekit, please step forward.

Honeykit, from this moment on, you shall be called Honeypaw. Mistyflower, you are a senior warrior. You were taught strength in battle and calm of peace. I know...

Mintleaf's trip to the Cold Lights

posted by Pennypatch321

As soon as Mintleaf was asleep at the Cold Lights, she heard a voice call her name, “Mintleaf.” She opened her eyes at once, and she noticed that she wasn’t at the Cold Lights anymore. She was in the starry place of SoulClan. “Mintleaf.” She heard the voice again, coming from behind her. She turned around, and two she-cats with starry pelts – one a silver tabby, and the other a brown and white she-cat, both with green eyes.

Mintleaf showed her respect to the two old warriors. “Fallenstar, Serrafang, I come to you in great need. HillClan have two healthy kits who both want to become...

The Death of Slitherstar

posted by ferretandsilt

Slitherstar ordered his warriors out of camp immediately. Maizeheart, a newly named warrior, had spotted Soddenfoot, a StormClan cat, racing up from the border across the Thunderpath. Not but a few nights ago, Tigerfang, a StormClan warrior, had left StormClan in honor of his dead brother Rowanfoot, and joined HillClan. There were bound to be consequences, but Slitherstar had allowed the dark tabby to stay. Where else would he go.

The warriors moved out. The biggest warrior of them was Bouldertail. The fierce gray she-cat stepped forward and prepared for a fight as Soddenfoot appeared. Bouldertail...

The Moonlight Gathering

posted by ferretandsilt

Slitherstar was resting in his den at sunhigh. It had been half a moon since Sloewhisker's death on the thunderpath, and he was beginning to feel a little bit better. So many of us have gone to the thunderpath, he thought. Including me.

Sandcloud walked in. His loyal deputy was a major shoulder for him to lean on. The cream and white she-cat looked at her leader. "Who all do you want to go to the Gathering, Slitherstar?" she asked respectfully. He smiled into her pale eyes.

"Take Moonfeather, Swiftfeather, Berryfern--if she's interested in going--Mistyflower, Amberface, Talonfang, Poppytail,...

The day the music died

posted by SoyalaLeisu

Berryfern awoke and stretched in the HillClan camp, her eyes wide and her fur matted with sleep. She turned and licked a clump gently before padding into the Clearing.

Sloewhisker--the deputy--was assigning duties to cats. "Berryfern," he called as she appeared. "You're coming with me to the Circle Quad to patrol. We're taking Mintleaf and Specklepaw, who need to collect herbs that grow around there."

Berryfern nodded and the cats began their duties. As Berryfern approached her mate, she saw how young he looked compared to his brother. Slitherstar was the leader, and he was weighted down. He...
