Torrentpaw was crouched along the river's edge, flanked by Galepaw as the two of them focused on the water below, in search of fish. Shimmerpaw and Bubblepaw had accompanied them, and while Torrentpaw wasn't exactly close with either of them yet, he was glad they agreed to tag along.

His tail flicked, impatience growing short as minutes had gone past without a fish swimming into his view. He shot a glance over at Galepaw, who seemed to be having similar luck. Brows furrowing, he drew his attention towards the other apprentices further down the river. "Have you guys seen anything?" Torrentpaw called, careful to keep his voice low in case of scaring any fish that may be hiding.

Before he could heed their response, a sudden chatter echoed from the opposite side of the river, drawing Torrentpaw's attention swiftly. The voices were shrill and strange, causing the young tom's nose to scrunch up as he rose into a sitting position. There was no mistaking that his friends had heard the noise too, how could they not? It was loud and annoying enough–he wouldn't be surprised if they could hear it from all the way back at camp.

"What is that?" Torrentpaw meowed, not towards anyone in particular. His eyes remained fixed on the land ahead of them, his curiosity growing as strange, sweet scents started to reach his nose.

—————————————————— Rocked by an endless motion ✦

He didn't exactly want to come along. Well, perhaps that wasn't the entire truth—of course he'd love to follow along wherever Torrentpaw ended up. To see someone was to ensure that they were alive, that they hadn't gone anywhere. It by no means was a surefire way to keep someone by his side, but it was a small comfort at the very least. No, the uncomfortable feelings built only when he saw who else the fishing trip consisted of. To be quite frank, Gale didn't know much about Shimmerpaw and Bubblepaw, and that was how he liked it. Cats his age... well, he didn't exactly get along with most, and had little to bond over with the rest. It was more than happy with the small circle he had found himself in, a circle that was admittedly small but comfortably so.

But of course, saying No to Torrent was a sin he was not fond of. So he gritted his teeth, pressed his lips tightly together, and followed along the familiar dark figure to the riverside. As though the fish could sense his displeasure, the river was strangely calm. Not a minnow swam by, though Gale's eyes were glued to the water anyway. If he didn't make eye contact, perhaps he'd blend into the shoreline. Perhaps he'd melt away, and they wouldn't have to talk to the unfamiliar apprentices.

"Not even a minnow." Gale muttered unhappily in response to Torrent, though it didn't seem like he was speaking to him in the first place. The sudden movement of the tom beside him made him stiffen, and he snapped to attention as the same shrill noises grabbed his own attention. The lynxpoint flicked a curled ear in displeasure, shooting a look towards his companion.

"That's no bird..." Galepaw muttered lowly, the wispy fur on the back of his neck prickling. Whatever it was, he had the keen sense that he didn't want to be there anymore. Well, more than he already didn't want to be.

"No, buttt I've also never been a very strong hunter," Bubblepaw admits with a small giggle, eyes trailing across the water. It isn't like she's in any hurry to learn anyhow; she's only six moons old, and besides there are lots of other more important things to learn... Like politics! And weaving! She turns wide, mis-matched eyes to Shimmerpaw and gives her friend a curious smile as she inquires: "Any luck for you, Shimmer?"

The irony is not lost on her that she and Shimmerpaw are one friendship pair where Galepaw and Torrentpaw are another, though Bubblepaw is younger than all of them. Torrentpaw is friendly and outgoing, a lot different from his father. Bubblepaw quite likes him a lot, though he's usually busy socializing with the other apprentices or training or... Elsewhere, she does not know. Galepaw is quiet, but quiet is not a bad thing. Bubblepaw thinks that quiet people often have more meaningful things to feel and say. Her mother had taught her from a young age never to judge someone based on their outward presentation. And then there's Shimmerpaw, unfriendly and rough around the edges. Yet Bubblepaw finds herself wandering after her excitedly all the same.

The clamoring across the river grabs Bubblepaw's attention. Torrentpaw seems as curious as she is, but Galepaw is unnerved by it. "Ohhh... What is that smell?" The silver tabby leans forward so far she feels like she might fall into the river. "We should go see what it is!" She suggests to the group, bouncing slightly in her enthusiasm. She doesn't wait for agreement, but forges into the river and onto the opposing riverbank. Colorful pieces of fabric rise over shrumbs and stumps, and the shrill voices grow ever-closer as the sweet smell grows ever-stronger. A two-leg appears from around the side of one of the colorful shapes, spots the apprentices, and crouches down with something in hand.

Bubblepaw, likely to the chagrin of the other apprentices, is completely unperturbed. She continues to surge forward in her curiosity.

She doesn't know how she got here, got into the mess that was being at the river with three other apprentices - two of which she only simply tolerated for the sake of keeping the peace and one of which she'd somehow beyond all belief managed to find a friend in. She would have said no when the ask had been stretched out to her to come along had it not been for Bubblepaw's push, her instant decision to come along which had immediately made it so Shimmerpaw had to come along too. She hadn't known the other since birth - hard to when they were different ages - but she had known the other for quite a while, had played as kits, and somehow bonded. Some part deep down in Shimmerpaw felt as though she had to protect Bubblepaw, and so off they had gone to the edge of the discovered territory, to the river where they had begun fishing.

Though she was a good fisher - a strong one - Shimmerpaw also had caught nothing, whether it be the luck of the day or the way Bubblepaw was untrained fully yet she didn't know nor did it matter for almost as soon as Shimmerpaw replied with the "Nothing here either." That signaled her lack of fish there was commotion, there was a smell, and there was the silver tabby with the mismatched eyes splashing through the water to the other side to investigate, and quickly she followed. White fur soaked in water she moved quickly next to Bubblepaw, eyes looking over to where the sounds and scents came from as she noticed the twoleg, crouching down with something in it's weird paw as weird clicking noises were made coming from it's maw.

As soon as Bubblepaw began to surge forward, Shimmerpaw would aim to grab onto her to try and hold her back, eyes wide in fear at the danger in front of them and her friend's willingness to just go near it so quickly. Did she have a deathwish?

"Bubblepaw!" Torrentpaw called, exchanging a slightly amused but mostly concerned look with Galepaw before jumping in immediately after her, side by side with Shimmerpaw. Paws reaching the shore, Torrentpaw quickly shook out his pelt, before padding after the younger apprentice.

"Bubblepaw, hang on a second," He began, trying to reason with the silver tabby as he caught up with her, pelt sticking out in different directions from the water that clogged his fur. "We need to lay low, who knows…" Torrentpaw trailed off sharply, his ears flicking towards the sudden clicking noise. He froze, his neck fur rising at the sight of the large creature. The shape of what stood before them was somewhat familiar, as he had seen a few around the shipyard where Riverclan used to live. Torrentpaw knew them to be aggressive creatures, as they had often cursed and threw blunt objects at the tom when he was a kitten. He swallowed, claws slipping out of his paws as his eyes darted around their surroundings.

Why were they here?

Before he had the chance to react, Bubblepaw's tabby pelt strode past, not an ounce of fear prickling the fur on her pelt. He watched as Shimmerpaw attempted to grasp her in her paws, but the twolegged creature seemed to have the same idea. Reaching down a large, hairless paw towards the two apprentices, it scooped up Bubblepaw with one, offering her whatever it was that he held in his paw. Torrentpaw watched with horror as Bubblepaw ate whatever it held with a purr, and even a glint of enthusiasm in her eyes.

The young tom attempted to surge forward, and save his friend from whatever was taking her, but his scruff was promptly met with teeth, and pulled back against the earth. Torrentpaw's head spun around, his eyes wild with confusion and anger towards whatever had gotten between him and his friend who was in obvious danger. Brows lifting in surprise, the anger from his gaze softened as he recognized the one who had his scruff between their jaws as Galepaw.

"What are you doing?" Torrentpaw meowed, his voice high with alarm and disbelief. "Let me go, and help me get them away from that thing!" He meowed, beginning to tug away from the other apprentice.
