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.

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.

[Shimmerpaw]

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.

[Shimmerpaw]

She was glad to have Torrentpaw by her side, there to try and keep Bubblepaw out of danger, glad to see him striding alongside her, glad to see the attempt to surge forward as soon as the youngest of the four continued to do so as well only to be distracted as white fur pricked on edge as she realized he was no longer there, held back by Galepaw. "What are you doing!?" A meow was shouted their way as she began to turn, now-plumed tail lashing out behind her as she began to turn, claws outstretched as she tried her best to swallow down the fear that built up within her. She had to help Bubblepaw even if Galepaw was too mouse-hearted to do so, even if it was the silver-pelted apprentice's own stupidity that had gotten her into the mess she was in now, whether or not she knew it.

And as Shimmerpaw was distracted by the two sights before her, paws moving forward to try and get to her friend while trying to urge Galepaw and Torrentpaw to go with her, she was soon scooped up as well, a twoleg coming from her side just out of view, too focused on too many things to realize that there was another threat coming in. Claws outstretched as she tried to find purchase in anything she could, swiping wildly as she wiggled to try and get free but it was no use and her captor was not letting go.

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

It had happened far too fast, and everything had quickly gone downhill. Galepaw had followed after Torrent—of course he had followed after Torrent—though his fur only prickled more, raising in anxious preparation for something to happen. And sure as he had the thought, strange paws grasped the silver apprentice in their midst. Thoughts raced in his mind, of the many things he could do, but what he first noticed was the movement of the dark tom beside him. With little thought of anything but the danger, the tom reached over and sank gentle teeth into Torrent's scruff. As though he were some oversized kit, Galepaw dragged him deeper into the bushes he near emerged from. As far as he was concerned, they had to stay hidden. Even amidst Shimmer's angry calls, the tom slowly released his friend, taking a protective step between him and the group's assailants. Shimmer was lost now, but it hardly cared—his attention was on Torrent now.

"Do you think it will not take you as well?" The tom questioned him desperately, eyes wild with the fluttering in his chest once more. "This is no battle that can be won just by barging in—" At the look on Torrent's face, the lynxpoint sighed, pressing his face into a shaking paw. "Please, just... I need a moment to think." It sighed a heavy breath into his paw, eyes still hidden by the small white toes. The birds, surely the birds knew... and they did certainly chirp, though not particularly fearfully. They were wary of these things, sure—and it couldn't blame them, with unsightly-stretched out limbs, all but entirely furless bodies, and strangely contorting faces. But they certainly didn't seem afraid, rather they called about... food? Surely, surely it was safe. Surely there was nobody condemned to die today.

"The birds." Gale finally answered, raising his eyes to Torrentpaw. "We should be wary, yes, but they aren't in immediate danger. We'll..." He took a steadying breath, peering out of the undergrowth he found in at the two two-legs. There was sure to be more, and the tom did not want to test their scent-tracking ability, however meek it might be. "We'll follow in the underbrush. Keep a low profile—they surely must be going somewhere, and we can follow." It knew better than anyone of Torrent's tendency to rush ahead, to think more with his heart than his head, and it both charmed and frightened him. At times, he found it almost endearing... but as of late, it only served to terrify the poor apprentice. The best bet was to try to beat his friend to the punches, to try and suggest something milder before he, too, got snatched up.

Shimmerpaw's attempt to hold onto Bubblepaw is futile. She slips between the older apprentice's paws easily and surges ahead toward the twoleg camp without so much as sparing the others a sidelong glance. Her enthusiasm propels her forward. "There's nothing to worry about!" she proclaims, still not looking back at the horrified apprentices bustling behind her. Soon enough, she's been scooped up by one of the twolegs- as bizarre as they are, Bubblepaw sees no reason to fear them- and offered one of the tasty-smelling things that had brought them in this direction to begin with.

"Torrentpaw!" she mews around a mouthful of waffle, the warm and sweet flavor delighting her mood (if it were possible) "This is what we were smelling as we were coming over here!" She frowns at her friends' hesitance and resistance. She does not understand why they seem so afraid of these twolegs and their gifts. Shimmerpaw claws at hands that grasp her, and Bubblepaw calls to her friend: "Wait Shimmerpaw! I don't think they want to hurt you!" Bubblepaw is quickly dismayed, clawlessly batting away another handful of waffle coming in her direction as she exchanges it for concern for the white-furred apprentice.

Galepaw and Torrentpaw linger nearby, still unnoticed by the twolegs for the most part. They seem to be tense, but it is mostly out of concern she thinks. Bubblepaw, in her beautiful epitome of the cat who was killed by curiosity, turns back toward the fleshy hand to take another bite of waffle. Perhaps her demonstration will help her friends to feel better about this situation.
