WillowClan/4

As the group of cats and Tundrastar headed along the thunderpath, trying not to stray into ThornClan territory, Mistystar considered Tundrastar's offer. The brown she-cat seemed to just want WillowClan's help, but this could be a trap. *But they look so thin. And that poor kit... Bluekit was her name. We have to help them. -Mistystar*

Bluekit sighed and narrowed her eyes again. Of course she HAD to be small! She couldn’t reach any of the berries! Then she huffed then sat on a stump. “Oh my whiskers....... what if TundraClan dies out? What if we can’t be anyone any more..... and.... and.....” suddenly she heard a crack of a twig behind her then she worked around and hissed.—Bluekit

Skyshadow stared at Scorchkit when he padded after Flamekit. "How dare Scorchkit fall in love with MY daughter." Skyshadow knew she was just being stupid, but falling in love at a kit's age! "Oh what will I do?" Skyshadow heard a small vioce in teh wind saying, "Skyshadow, Scorchit just loves your daughter. There's nothing wrong with that. This is the path Flamekit must choose. Flamekit has a destiny." Skyshadow shook her head. "StarClan is right. Flamekit is the one to see if she loves Scorchkit or not. But I will talk to Scorchkit." Skyshadow was to busy in her thoughts that she didn't see that they were already at TundraClan camp and the smell of sick and dead cats began to grow--Skyshadow

Shadowchaser padded after his leader solemnly, hoping that all would be well back at camp. Once he returned, he intended on eating a quick meal before beginning his journey to talk with StarClan and get his answers. If he really was the chosen cat, and if he didn't act soon...who knew what might be the fate of the clans. -- Shadowchaser

Dustykit decided to spend some of his spare time investigating the medicine cat den. Not that he'd go and eat random herbs- no, those things were gross and stinky so he didn't want to voluntarily eat them. Instead, he wanted to ask the medicine cats if there was something he could maybe...stick on his paws or something. All the other cats and kits seemed to have claws, why didn't he? -- Dustykit

Ugh- why did Mistystar have to pick him to tag along to go to TundraClan's camp? They smelled bad enough, he could only imagine how disgusting their camp might be. To add, it would probably be cold. Muddyfang walked along in silence with his brow furrowed in a stubborn manner, lost in his own dark thoughts that seemed to be worsening by the day. -- Muddyfang

Flamekit woke up to see that the camp was nearly empty. "Uh they left without me. Now I have nothing left to do." Flamekit looked down from her branch to see Scorchkit right below, dozing. Flamekit smiled and sprang on Scorchkit. Scorchkit look up and grinned, "Are we apprentices?" Flamekit laughingly mewed, "Guess so."Scorchkit said beneath her, "Well in that case." Scorchkit pawed her face and they play fought. Finally, Flamekit had her paw on his head and he panted, "OK! You win Flamekit!" Flamekit started to groom her ruffled fur and mewed, "Did you sleep well stupid fur ball?" "I did until you woke me!" "Don't worry, this was just round one. Round 2 is coming soon." They both looked at the camp and Scorchkit mewed softly, "What do you think of those TundraClan cats?" Flamekit grinned," I don't like it, but I LOVE it when Tundrastar asks us for help. What happened to big, proud Tundrastar?" They both laughed and sat in the peaceful silence, looking at WillowClan.--Flamekit and Scorchkit

Ripplepaw yawned. “Oh...... hey Dustykit, how are you, what is it that you need?” He could barely see the kit. It was all a blur. Only because he had been awake all days and nights, helping the sick, even with like five cats, it was very hard and switching out to sleep was the worst.—Ripple

Rainsplash padded over to Dewshine, she looked, non good. “What’s wrong?” She asked. “Um! Nothing! Nothing!” She smiled. Rainsplash rolled her eyes and followed Dew’s gaze. “Oh. Your worried for Ripplepaw?” Dewshine looked to her paws. “I guess that’s reasonable..... why? He’s a medicine cat.” She grumbled. “He could get sick too!” Dew snapped back. “I see, we’ll then check on him rather than sitting here doing nothing.” Rainsplash padded past. Strait for the last bits of prey, a raven and a fat mouse. “Of very flattering.....” she hissed as her daughter padded into her moss bed. Then she took A raven wing.—Rainsplash

Mapleblaze coughed in her own pelt, but would never tell. NEVER, she needed to be a loyal, fine, healthy warrior! She didn’t need to be sick! Not now!” Until she had to leave camp to hurl....... then she was found by of course Thunderflame. He had taken her back to camp and TOLD the medicine cats that she had a worse case! And now she had to lay in there with all the other SICKLY cats and by O’ GREAT STARCLAN‘S NAME did It small horrific! She hated everything right about now. She was a full warrior of the dark forest though.... that was true..... but she wanted to be more. Being sick will just hold her back.—Maple

“Hold still! It’s not like I didn’t land in the thorn bush either!” Hissed a russet she-cat as she pulled another thorn out of her brother’s pelt. Well, not brother, brother-like friend? Anything on that path. “Ack! Hay! Watch it!” He snapped as she dropped it in the growing pile. “Why do I have to do this” she asked their adoptive father, Snakegaze, “because the thorns may be useful.” He grumbled. She rolled her eyes until a crack in the trees sent her to a stop. all three cats had studied the trees. Then leaped a HUMUNGOUS she-cat, sleep pelt, tan fur, very long legs, she was as tall as a Fox! Then Snakegaze padded over. “What is it that you want?” He growled. “To warn.” She replied deeply. “There has been I virus infecting this place, I fear that not even forest medicine’s can help. I need to be pointed in the right direction if where the closest Kittypet is.” She meowed calmly. “Well, there are a few if you keep going east, which is behind us, but you may want to know about the dogs and loud twolegs, they have things that kill, like sticks of some-sort. Russetbird yawned. “Hold on Cindermist!” She growled again tearing another thorn away. “Errr!” He squealed. “What’s your name?” Snake asked. “Lynx.” She replied before climbing into tree’s once more. “hmm. Weird. Papa, she said a sickness, we should maybe leave before we can’t help ourselves.” She meowed picking out another thorn. “Very well. But then let’s follow her, maybe the ally cats may except us. And she’s the only ways to them. Then she group retreated after Lynx, Cindermist limping.—Russetbird

Morningglade waited for a minute outside Stormstreaks den before padding off. *Unwanted! Again...* She padded over to the cats from Tundraclan who were clustered in a corner of camp. "Hi! I'm Morningglade! I'm a newly-made warrior. Do you need any help settling in? If you're hungry I could go hunt! My mom was a loner and when she came everyone just ignored her. But, I'll make sure that doesn't happen to you! So, whatcha need?" - Morningglade

Scorchkit and Flamekit were sitting, looking at WillowClan. It was so quiet. Scorchkit mewed, "Wanna do some fun?" Flamekit looked at him and mewed, "I am not allowed out of camp. But since I am off duty watching the TundraClan Cats, I guess so." Flamekit ran out of camp with Scorchkit beside her. Scorchkit felt as if he could run forever with Flamekit by his side. Scorchkit was so busy in his thoughts that he saw Flamekit disappeared. "Flamekit? Flamekit! Where are you?" Scorchkit felt a heavy weight on his back and heard "Ready for Round 2?' Scorchkit turned and they play fought. Flamekit launched herself at Scorchkit and again she she won. Scorchkit looked up into her greenish amber eyes and knew that was the only thing he wanted to see the rest of his life. Flamekit saw how close they were to each other and got off of him, a little embarrassed. "Come on, lets go back to camp." Flamekit padded and Scorchkit ran to her side. Scorchkit felt his fur brush against hers and saw that Flamekit didn't mind.--Scorchkit and Flamekit

As the group entered TundraClan's camp, Mistystar's nose flared. The scent of death was *evevrywhere.* TundraClan used to be one of the most powerful, largest, most best esteemed Clans. Now its camp was full of death and sickness. Three bodies were piled up at the entrance. Mistystar guessed there were either no elders to bury them or they were to weak. A thin queen, her pelt sticking to her like moss, peered out from behind a mound of yellow-white snow, her two skittish kits behind her. The two kittens were *tiny.* They must be around two moons old, and incredibly underfed. *We have to help them!* "Alright. Let's take them back to our camp." As she said the words, new hope lit in Tundrastar's eyes, and you could hear a soft breath of thanks escaping the queen's mouth. -Mistystar

The young deputy followed his leader in silence, eyeing the rundown camp and the few starving remainders. *How could Tundrastar just leave them behind?* Shadowchaser felt his stomach twist in knots as he proceeded through camp, unsure if he could take any of it much longer. They needed to hurry up and get home, because he knew that now more than ever that he as needed, if he was this prophecized cat that everyone was speaking of. He could let them suffer no longer. -- Shadowchaser

Ripplepaw stared at all of the cats, “h—hold that thought Dustykit....” he yawned again (was dusty there?) then he padded up to the other cats with herbs in his jaws followed by Stormstreaks stare.—Ripple

Bluekit smiled wildly as she ran up to her mother. “You just left me!” She instantly growled and backed away. “You should know not to leave me with strangers!“ she snickered. Then she was licked. “Ack! hay!” She ran away. “Well, this is our clan now. Well, for now.” Stormsnow purred. “Why don’t you introduce yourself to the other kits?” She pushed her kit before all of the others, including Sandfrost’s two moon old kits, Goldenkit and Cranekit. Both odd names for kits of tundraclan. Then she glanced at all of the kits, a ginger striped she-kit entered the clearing with a dark brown tabby tom kit far behind, and there was a cream colored blue eyed tom kit, he looked.... Interesting. He also seemed, agreeable. So she padded over to him and rolled her eyes. “Hello stranger! My name’s Bluekit, and I’m joining your Clan apparently.”—Blue

Skyshadow padded into WillowClan camp. The first thing she was looking for was Flamekit. Skyshadow spotted her up on her branch sleeping. Skyshadow leaped up on the branch and prodded Flamekit. 'Hello Flamekit. Was everything ok when I was gone?" Flamekit mewed, "Yes Skyshadow. It has. Oh I am so glad you were back!" Flamekit frowned, "Are the TundraClan cats staying with us?' Skyshadow nodded, "Their territory has the smell of death. This was Mistystar's choice. I would have done the same." Skyshadow licked Flamekit and mewed, "I still want you to keep an eye on them in case they try to revolt. Are you still up for the challenge?' Flamekit grinned and said, "Oh Skyshadow you know I would!" Skyshadow nodded and leaped down to the dusty ground. Skyshadow went to the fresh kill pile and picked a juicy mole to give to queen they saw earlier. The queen nodded her thanks and Skyshadow went to doze in the warm sun.--Skyshadow

​Flamekit stood looking at the TundraClan cats. "Why do we have to watch over EVERY cat in the forest. Flamekit heard a sound behind her and leaped onto the creature that was sneaking up on you. "Nice try Scorchkit!" " OK OK OK Flamekit. You win again! Flamkit leaped of the branch with Scorchkit following. Flamekit and Scorchkit sat and looked at all the cats: Mistystar, Skyshadow, Swiftshadow, Shadowchaser, etc. Scorchkit mewed softly, "Do you want to ran around again?" Flamekit felt unsure she wanted to do that NOW. "Actually Scorchkit, I want to sleep in the sun." Scorchkit eyes lit up as he said, "Ok let us go!" "But I want to sleep with Skyshadow." Flamekit saw that Scorchkit hesitated but he nodded. Flamekit laid down to Sksyahdow side and saw her peak to see who it was. "I just want to doze with you. Is that ok?" Sksyahdow raised her head and mewed, "Of course. You can whenever" Skyshaodw's gaze darkened and Flamekit knew that she was looking at Scorchkit, but Flamekit ignored and mewed, "Come on Scorchkit." Scorchkit whispered in her ear, "I think I am just going to go." Flamekit eyes harden. "How dare he think my mom is a monster. I will talk to him when I am done." Flamekit felt a warm feeling cover her ear and heard Sksyahdow say, "Get some rest Flamekit." Scorchkit padded away and watched Flamekit in a bush. "I can never be with her if Skyshadow hates me. No I will still love Flamekit no matter what Sksyahdow thinks." Scorchkit watched the dark ginger kit doze.--Scorchkit and Flamekit (Skyshadow)

Bluekit yawned. Why is WillowClan Sooooo boring? Suddenly she saw a dark brown kit backing away from a long furred Black and white she-cat and a ginger she-kit, so she decided to stalk behind him and then smiled a harsh grin, then pounced on him, she laughed. Then once she was thrown off she rolled over and howled in laughter. “Ha ha! You should’ve seen your fur! He ha ha!” She couldn’t stop giggling.—Bluekit

Scorchkit drew his eyes from Flamekit and looked at a grayish kit. "Um hi...............Bluekit. What was that for?" Scorchkit couldn't help but laugh and said, "You should already be a warrior." Scorchkit heard a sound behind him and saw Skyshadow pad away towards Swiftshadow, her sister. "That was fun and all Bluekit but I have too..go. Bye." Scorchkit hid is some bushes waiting for Flamekit to wake up.--Scorchkit

Flamekit was in the forest and heard rustling noises around her. Flamekit saw that deep in the bushes were 2 green eyes staring at her. Then the forest disappeared and heard claws, shrieks of pain, and the smell of blood. "Beware Flamekit of......." The last part of the sentence faded. "StarClan no, please tell me who I have to be careful around." But Flamekit was already waking up from her dream and saw that is was midnight. "I will go in the forest and see if I can find the cat tonight." Flamekit quietly crept out of WillowClan. Scorchkit raised his head when he heard some noise. Scorchkit peered out of his bush to see that Flamekit was sneaking out of camp. "I must follow her." Scorchkit saw that Flamekit was padding in front of some bushes and stoped her fur bristling and her claws unsheathed. Flamekit waited, but no eyes appeared and no cries of pain were heard. Suddenly Flamekit heard paw steps behind her and saw Scorchkit there. "Where you following me?!" "Flamekit, it is not what it looks like! Please let me explain!" "No Scorchkit, you also think I am a flithy badger too. I thought you wanted to be my friend!" Scorchkit yowled, "I do. But you are taking all this the wrong......" Scorchkit stoped. Flamekit let out a yowl of pain and collapsed to the ground, pitch black. Scorchkit rushed to her side to see that a snake and bitten her and it was poisonous. Scorchkit scared the snake away and yowled, "No Flamekit!" Scorchkit grabbed Flamekit by the scruff and dragged her to WillowClan. It was nearly dawn and all the cats were getting ready for patrol, but they all stoped short when they saw that rouge kitten bleeding badly. Scorchkit dragged Flamekit to Stormstreak's den and yowled, "Stomstreak! Help please!" Scorchkit saw that she was already hurriedly padded over, but turned his gaze when he heard, "WHAT IS GOING ON!?" It was Skyshadow, and she was ANGRY. Skyshadow saw Flamekit and growled at Scorchkit, "What did you do?" "Skyshadow, it is not what you think. You see....." Scorchkit told Skyshadow, Stormstreak and Mistystar, who appareled at the entrance, what had happened. Skyshadow rushed to Flamekit's side and licked her. Scorchkit pressed his muzzle into Flamekit's fur and begged, "Please Flamekit, don't go."--Flamekit, Scorchkit and (Skyshadow)

Skyshadow licked Flamekit rapidly as the kit was gasping for air. "Please Stormstreak do something!" "StarClan please let Flamekit live!" Skyshadow ran out of the medicine cat den and went to Shadowchaser. "Shadowchaser you are deputy and the chosen cat. You HAVE to find a cure to all this suffering. PLEASE! Flamekit is dying again. I know she is a rouge, but she is also a helpless lonely kit being judged all the time. Please talk to Starclan! Skyshadow suddenly became angry and growled, "You can't just act as if nothing is happening! You are deputy and the chosen one. Are you going to do something about it?!--Skyshadow

As Mistystar led the tundra cats to her home, she saw Shadowchaser fidgeting nervously. *He's got a lot on his shoulders. I just hope he can find a cure.* Mistystar stalked into the camp. *I guess I should go hunting,* she thought, noticing the skimpy fresh-kill pile. "Shadowchaser!" She called. "Help TundraClan settle in!" The salt-and-pepper tom nodded. As Mistystar exited camp, a soft, low mew came from her left. "Mistystar?" Stormstar greeted her.

"Stormstar! What... Why are you here?" Mistystar asked. Her uncle was not only StormClan's leader, but her ally in the war. Of course, Graystar's brother was always welcome, but coming alone was strange. ((lol just remembered Stormstar's graystar's bro)) -Misty

((hecc Willowclan's gonna get overrun with StormClan and TUndraClan and WIllowclan and stuff. OOOOOhhoooh, let's give em a flood to add to the commotion =:> they have to evacuate three clans in a hurry from a single camp))

((oh boy))-willow

Crookedflower gasped as she saw the suffering Flamekit, then suddenly something rushed to her head, an image? A scent? A sign? Suddenly she found herself dodging sickened cats into the medicine cats den and grabbed a comb of honey and ran back out past the snoozing medicine cats. Then hissed as everyone got out of her way and the rain started to drizzle everywhere. “Move!” She pushed and shoved until she met the coughing kit, she glanced at Skystar gently, please, I must see her!” She glanced back at Shadowchaser with a calm gaze that told him she knew what she was doing, then as the kit was placed onto the ground, she gently pushed the comb b her and drizzled some homer on the kits lips, the as Flamekit licked, she seemed to relax more, and then found the comb and started to drink from the hexagon patches, “calm now kit, not too much unless it’s bellyache town.” Then she drew it away, everyone was silent. “Er, you should get Stormstreak for the rest......” then She padded out of the silent crowd and back into the shade and as the rain fell, she smiled, she’d done something good. Something that saved Flamekit.—Crookedflower

“Mistystar? More visitors?” Rainsplash padded up to her former mentor/leader. “Oh! StormClan?” She looked worryingly at her leader.—Rainsplash

“Oh thank Starclan!” Skyshadow rusehed to Flamekit’s side and started to lick the poor kit. Skyshadow turned her gaze to Crookedflower and mewed, “You saved her! Thank you!” As the she-cat nodded Skyshadow  whispered to Flamekit, “Oh Flamekit. Thanks Starclan you are alive." Skyshadow laid down beside the sleeping kit and licked gently. "Stormstreak!”--Skyshadow

Crookedflower’s heart warmed. As she saw Skyshadow’s eyes. Then she yawned and settled down for a nap. Until unfamiliar scents filled her nose. “StormClan.”—Crookedflower

Flamekit woke up and saw that she was in the medicine cat den. Flamekit could hear Skyshadow, Mistystar and Stormstreak chatting gaily. Flamekit could taste something sweet in her mouth and saw a honeycomb that Crookedflower brought to her earlier. Flamekit saw that on her side were herbs that were supposed to get ride of the poison. Flamekit saw that on her wound was a tabby brown tail and saw that Scorchkit was staring at her and mewed, "Flamekit, oh Flamekit your OK!" Scorchkit licked her ear but Flamekit drew away. "Stop Scorchkit." Flamekit growled. Scorchkit look starteled and he asked, "What's wrong?" "You should know what is wrong." Scorchkit grew a deep breath, "Flamekit, can you please tell me what I did wrong?" Flamekit looked around cautiously and saw that no one was in sight. Flamekit mewed softly, "You don't trust Skyshadow, and if you don't trust her, you can't trust me." Scorchkit eyes softened and grew sad as he said, "Oh Flamekit. That day when you wanted to sleep with Skyshadow, I was just afraid that she would judge me. I never meant for that to be an offense. Now that I think of it, I was just being silly." Flamekit eyes grew a little lighter adn she mewed, "I know Skyshadow is sometimes bossy, but she wouldn't judge my friend." Scorchkit eyes grew bright liek teh sun as he promised, "Flamekit, I will try to make things right with Skyshadow. OK?" Flamekit nodded adn they both stared at eachother adn they both blushed with embarrsesment. "Come on Flamekit, lets get out of here." Flamekit rouse but then fell. "I can't put weight on my back leg." "Try again." Flamekit stood up again and before she could fall, Scorchkit slid on her side and put his body next to hers. Flamekit hesitated, not wanting to go outside and show the clan that she was weak, Scorchkit laid his tail overher body and mewed soothingly, "Come Flamekit, they won't judge you. If they do I will claw their eyes off." Flamekit grinned adn walked otu of teh medicene cat den. Everyone looked at Flamekit and Scorchkit, but instead of having a look of disgust on their face, they looked relived. Scorchkit lead Flamekit to their usual bush adn laid down. Scorckit started to groom Flamekit. Flamekit felt that Scorckit had stoped grooming her and turned her gaze to see that he was looking at her. "Flamekit, you have no idea how much pain it would cause me to loose you." Scorchkti looked statled to see what he had said, but before he could chnage it Flamekit mewed back, "Scorchkit, I would miss you too." Scorchkit and Flamekit

After obeying Mistystar and helping TundraClan settle in, Shadowchaser began to stir impatiently. He had eaten a quick meal and it was now due-time that he leave and begin his great quest, and discover whatever StarClan might have in store for him. After pacing for several moments and waiting for Mistystar to return, he decided to take matters into his own paws. He left camp in search for his leader, and didn't have to get very far. "Mistystar, I-" Oh. Who was that guy? The tom didn't smell of WillowClan, but he also seemd to resemble the WillowClan leader a fair bit. Family, perhaps? Not that it was his business. "Mistystar, um, pardon me for interrupting...but I think I need to go now. I have to speak with StarClan and find the cure." -- Shadowchaser

“Wait!” Crookedflower ran up to Mistystar’s other side. “Shadowchaser I swear by StarClan if you can’t find a cure then the clans will be crowfood, so please, be very careful. I trust StarClan to speak to you. You are part of WillowClan, the cat who will save all the clans.” She dipped her head, then turned to the dark weird smelling tom, the StormClan leader. —**Crookedflower**.

Lynx yawned. She was tired and annoyed. “You can stop following me now!” She hissed behind her. Then the bushed rustling stopped. Then she carried on but this time ran. Soon she knew she lost em’ and then slowed. Looked around and met the Twolegs stone walls that guard their gardens, and borders the forest. Then she leaped there, this time it was at one of those places, the ones where they’d heal or help sick cats, the vet? Wasn’t that what she’s heard from the ally cats? Then she padded along the nest mossy walls, ivy cloaked the stone brick, and violet flowers peeked from the gaps. She also met the eyes of her old friend, Lucky, he was one of those “Vet’s” cats, a Kittypet friend. But if she knew more than any forest cat, Twolegs have more cures. As Lucky leaped off the perch he was on and squeezed out the window, she smiled and sat firmly. “Lucky, long tome no see?” She grinned. Lucky smiled. “Yes, Lynx? Why is it that you came?” He cocked his head. “Lucky, I am in the need of your medicine works. There is a vicious cough infecting the forests, if you have not already taken in the sickly scents. I’m here to ask which herb is better for atleast keeping the cough tamed for awhile.” She dipped her head and flexed her arm mussels uncomfortably. “Ah! I know! Let’s see, erm, hmmm, I think Mitzi is better at telling, she used to be a forest cat after all. Mitzi!” He called. Suddenly a sleep furred black she-cat leaped behind Lynx. But she didn’t flinch. “What is it Luck? I was hunting.” She then saw Lynx and then sat firmly. “Oh, I smell that scent. Your here for the cure for coughs?” She asked. “No, I’m here for herbs that are good for taming coughs for awhile. Or at least are what you forest cats use.” Mitzi froze. “C’mon! Mitzi you still have that medicine cat strength in ya right?” Lucky asked and urged her. “Fine, but don’t call me Risingdawn.” She rolled her eyes. “If I last remembered, we used catmint or catnip, and chickweed, and all the honey for the coughing and those weak hawkweeds for the less effected. And that’s all I remember.” Lynx grinned. “Thank you.” Then she turned. “Wait.” Mitzi sighed. “Why do you need that information?” She sparked. *She does still care.* Lynx sighed. “There is a dangerous plague, infecting the clans, and the forest. I bet they must take it as an omen or something.” The then turned to Mitzi. “You still care. And I think you should come with me to gather these plants—herbs and bring them back to the clans, well. The ones who are suffering.” Lynx smiled. “I’ll do it. Luck, stay here. they must let be in again.... I was a former Medicine cat, I know what to do.”—**Lynx** (sorry ssoooo long)

The brown spotted tom narrowed his eyes suspiciously at Shadowchaser as he left to head after Mistystar. "Hey, Ashpaw." He called to the snowy rosetted she-cat, but he got no answer. Twitching his tail, he decided to prod her in the side with his paw. "Ashpaw! What's up with Shadowchaser always hanging around Mistystar? You're his apprentice- are they a thing or something?" Muddyfang asked with a wrinkling of his nose, causing the she-cat to shoot him a puzzled look. "Uhm...Muddyfang, they're deputy and leader. They kind of *have* to work together." She stated flatly. Muddyfang snorted. "That doesn't mean anything- I think they have a thing." -- Muddyfang & Ashpaw

Mistystar nodded. "If that's what you want to do, Shadowchaser. I understand how much you want to find the cure." -Mistystar ((Sorry So short, just wanted to give Silver a reply))

Crookedflower turned her head to meet Muddyfang and Ashpaw. “Hey! You two!” she called. “You should help hunt! Don’t just sand there let’s go!” She sighed. Then turned back to Shadowchaser trail. Then padded off with the other warriors.—**Crookedflower**

Lynx trotted calmly with Mitzi following. “So. Have history with these ‘Clans’?” She said not turning back. “Erm, yeah. I. I was a medicine cat, and I didn’t agree with the rules provided. So I left. And now it’s gonna haunt me.” She yawned. “How much farther?” Mitzi sighed. “Not much.” Lynx replied shortly. Both of the she-cats had a struggle. First out herb hunting for as much chickweed, hawkweed, honey, and Catmint/Catnip. They had headed towards WillowClan camp. Then Lynx scented very strong WillowClan scent. “They're here.” She whispered. Then they turned to meet a patrol of three, two white she-cats and a brown tom. The tom she’d saved before.—**Lynx**

The grizzled tom nodded firmly. "Take care of Ashpaw for me." He asked Mistystar quietly before nervously slinking past Stormstar (who he found quite intimidating) to begin his journey. He let his paws carry him because his narrowed eyes were locked on the ground, while his head was filled with a myriad of berating thoughts. Where would he go- where would StarClan be? Would they find him, or did he have to find them? Was this all a big mistake? Was StarClan just trying to get *rid* of him? Shadowchaser felt his stomach muscles tense as his anxiety came back to plague his thoughts, and he did his best to push it to the back of his mind, but nothing seemed to be working. He was already near the WillowClan border when suddenly a familiar warm, milky scent washed over him. "...I...i-it's can't be...is that you...?" -- Shadowchaser

“what are you doing in WillowClan territory!?” The flame point siamese hissed at the tall loner she-cat and the smaller sleek black Kittypet. “What are you carrying! What’s going on?” She was clearly shocked. “We are here to help your clan.” Lynx meowed. She looked around. “We’ve come with herbs. To help your sickly. And not to start war.” Lynx stood taller than usual. Mitzi‘s fur was bristling. “You could ask *HIM* what I’ve already done. He knows who I am.” Lyns sent her gaze at Muddyfang.—***Lynx*** ((on a patrol hunting))

((Muddy and Ash are in camp...)) Shadowchaser paused in his tracks, his hazel eyes darting back and forth in search of the cat that he thought he'd never see again. It was impossible- she was dead, she was a loner- she couldn't come back, right...? Or, had she found her way into StarClan? "...Mom...?" The compact salt-and-pepper tom called out hesitantly, almost thinking himself foolish to believe it. But there she was: his mom, suddenly moves younger, snaking her way towards him with starlight in her pelt. StarClan had welcomed the loner into their ranks despite her birthplace. "Hello, sweetheart. I've missed you oh-so much...but I'm so proud of you." The spirit stepped forward to lovingly press her nose against her son's cheek. -- Shadowchaser

((*oh, ok then Lynx at camp entrance as Crookedflower turned to leave? That ok?*)) Mitzi had her tail between her legs. She did not want to be at her old camp, at all. All those abandoned memories flooding back, all she wanted to do was dig a deep hole and bury herself far, far away. Then she turned to Lynx. “er.... should we leave then?” She really liked that thought, but there was a worry fir the clan growing in her. “No. We must protect the forest.” Lynx murmured. “Fine, I’ll get... oh, he left..... erm, I’ll get Mistystar.” She turned and padded away with a few last words. “Please watch them.” Then she vanished. This was when Mitzi spotted Stormstreak, he old mentor. And the rain came down faster and harder as both their eyes met.—Mitzi (Risingdawn)

(see? Rain pouring Currently) Rainsplash snuck away of course. She didn’t want to be there with all the gross scents, all she wanted to do was curl up in a tight ball and die. That’s what her muscles wanted. They were sore and tense from last nights hunt. Now she decided to fish, and rain was coming in fast, which meant more water. She finally reached the shore of the pool and sniffed the memories. Her and Firepaw chasing the badger away, saving Mistystream. That was indeed one of her dreams anyway. Then there’d been foxes, and prey loss, and ambushes. The loners too. She wondered if they were hit by the plague too. Then there was Skystar and then..... Hawktalon. And WindClan and Stormstreak. All those memories flooded back as she stood in this spot, it’s all she could think of. Memories and memories. And as the day passed by, she realized she was soaked and cold. Then Started to fish.—**Rainsplash**

Crookedflower had followed Mistystream’s scent all the way downhill with the StormClan cats still, then she padded to her leaders side and heard the conversation. And waited to speak.—**Crookedflower**

Borage was FINALLY done dusting the elders den and made it spotless. She felt nice in her nest, in her very own den again. The suddenly heard rain splatter across the brambles and the leafs rustled dropping water onto her nose. She was nor satisfied anymore.—**Borage**

Skyshadow saw Scorchkit helping Flamekit to a bush where they usually sat. Skyshadow didn't know whether she was happy or mad at Scorchkit. Skyshadow turned her head to Mistystar and asked, "Mistystar, I have a request. As you know Flamekit survived that snake and many more um accidents, I think it is time for Flamekit to be an apprentice....................................................... and Scorchkit. What do you think?"--Skyshadow

Flamekit woke up in the bush Scorchkit took her too. Flamekit saw that Scorchkti was still there, but was sleeping. "Hey stupid-fur-ball wake up!" Scorchkti got up startled and asked, "What is there a fire or badgers? Are we being attacked?" Flamekit laughingly mewed, "No. It is something much worse...............YOU WERE SLEPING TO LONG! Scorchkit saw that Flamekit was joking and mewed, "Very funny Flamekit, VERY FUNNY!" Scorchkit sat down to grow his fur. Scorchkit asked, "How is your leg feeling?" Flamekit stood up and leaped at Scorchkit knocking him over. "It feels fine." Scorchkit grinned, "Thought so." Flamekit sat up. Flamekit felt Scorchkit sit down next to her and mewed softly, "Hey Flamekit, are you going to tell me why you went out alone the other night?" Flamekit looked around to see that no one was in ear shot. "I had a dream that I was near that bush place where I went at night. I heard rustling of the leaves and saw two green eyes staring at me. Then everything went black and I heard claws, yowls of pain and the smell of blood. I thought that maybe if I went there that night, I could've found out if that cat was there. That is why I went out in the night." Scorchkit mewed, "Do you think that was a sign from StarClan?" Flamekit nodded. Scorchkit mewed, changing the subject, "Hey Flamekit, did you meet Bluekit?" "No, who is she?' "Oh she is a kit from TundraClan. Want to go meet her?" Flamekit shrugged, "Guess so." Flamekit and Scorchkit padded towards the kit and mewed, "Hey Bluekit. We just wanted to say hi. I am Scorchkit and she is Flamekit." Flamekit suddenly heard a voice saying, "Behind the bush!". "Scorchkti we got to go NOW. Nice talking to you Bluekit." Flamekit ran out of WillowClan camp.--Flamekit and Scorchkit

Mistystar nodded. "I agree. I'll make them apprentices at sunhigh." She continued talking with Stormstar. Her uncle seemed very worried. "Yes, we'll take them," MIstystar said. "Although our camp's getting really full. TundraClan will have to move to the abandoned apprentice den." ((Shout out to IRL roleplayers, xD)) The old apprentice den had been used by apprentices and medicine cat apprentices alike, until a particularly harsh winter ((AKA last year, OwO)) had destroyed the carefully placed stems and woven branches. Now, the warrior apprentices used another space just past the elder's den. -Misty Apprentice's Den(new)

the Rain was really pouring now, Rainsplash could barely see, and she still tried. she didn’t even notice that the lake was rising and she gasped to see small streams of water peek through the grass. Suddenly the water’s ripples turned to small waves, and trees had been losing leaves. ((Spring storm stuff)) she had only caught a few small fish. *Who’d like fish? Oh! TundraClan maybe, those SeaClan joiners like what’s his name? Muddy...... fang! Muddyfang.* She hadn’t really cared if she met him or not. She didn’t really know all the new cats and the only cats that she really knows that like her are Firepaw, a new TundraClan Queen Stormsnow? Was it? And then a few other she-cats, way less then the whole growing clan. Then she realized she was staring. then felt water rising to her belly fur. WHTA was this? Why was the water rising? *Wait!* Then she realized, this was what Mistystream was talking about as an apprentice, rainsplash never listened. This was when the water will flood the forest! Then she started to run back to camp but it was too late, huge waves splashed out of the pool and rushing downhill after her. “No no no no no no no no no no!” She hissed as she ran full speed. Then she started to howl as she got closer to camp and realized that Mistystar and Stormstar were at the camp enterence. “Run! Mistystar! It’s a flood!” —**Rainsplash**

​Crookedflower hated the rain. Not a very uncommon thing for most of WillowClan, she hoped. It’s always foiling with the dens and making prey soggy. But she’s never seen this: her ears pricked up and there was a huge sound being hushed by the loud winds and she couldn’t Make it out, until she turned to the source; Rainsplash running from a huge blast of water. *Heading..... RIGHT THIS WAY!* Crookedflower’s fur bristled, Mistystar and her were in the way. They needed to move. She needed to make her move, as she water and Rainsplash edged closer crookedflower was horrified. And as Rainsplash passed by her and alerted the clan, Crookedflower knew what to do. She knew, this would be the last thing she did. She would make her last move memorable just like Flamekit, WillowClan would always recognize her name. “*Please save the clan”* she whispered as she then ran as fast as she could into Mistystar’s side making her jump out of the way, as Misty’s eyes met her own. She knew she was ready. Then she could hold the ground anymore, she was swept away into the fleeing cats and flooding camp. Then her ankle had been stuck in a bramble and she couldn’t breathe anymore, her last breath Was out and she now saw black.—**Crookedflower** (😿DIED!)

Mapleblaze was in her usual spot in the trees, until she heard her friends howling Rainsplash! could a cat get some sleep in a while? Then she realized “flood!” And looked to the waters that started to fill the camp and leaped down to help the weak, starting with Borage.—**Mapleblaze**

​Lynx and Mitzi had not been in the way of the flood, but then Lynx realized what was happening with the scent of wet wood. “stay here and protect the herbs! I need to help then escape!” “Escape what?” “A flood!” Lynx then leaped to the trees and was gone. Leaving Mitzi behind and going to save the ones in need for the forest,—**Lynx**

Muddyfang was trying to outrun the water, but in the corner of his eyes, he could see Ashpaw struggling along. The pale apprentice had the legs of a runner, but she was still not completely familiarized with WillowClan's landscape. The pair had come across an overflowing river. Muddyfang leaped into the rushing water and forcefully paddled through it without any problems, but Ashpaw was being swept away. Without a moment of hesitation, he grabbed his companion by the scruff and hauled her onto land. "You...you saved me!" Ashpaw was breathless and soaked to the bone, her rounded eyes settling on the tired form of Muddyfang.

However, before he could even reply, he hadn't watched his footing, and felt the mud give out beneath his hind legs and force him back into the water. He could hear Ashpaw desperately calling out his name between moments when his head bobbed above the surface. Finally, a ways down the river, he scrambled onto a fallen log, struggling to help himself back onto land. But before him...

...a pair of meaty gray paws.

Muddyfang, barely clinging to the log, glared up at the owner of said gray paws. The blind tom, back from ScarClan...he was right, all along: they did send someone to end his miserable life. Of course, it had to be the best tracker for the job, the tom who couldn't see yet had the nose of a bloodhound. "Curse you, Smokestorm. I knew they'd send someone." Muddyfang hissed up at the blind tom with a curlped lip, the dirty water drowning out half of his words. The blind cat didn't budge from his position, refusing to allow Muddyfang out of the rushing water. "Oh, I'm not here to kill you, Muddypaw...not yet. No, I'm here to join your little clan." Smokestorm grinned, revealing his prickly teeth before he forcefully bit into Muddyfang's scruff, hauling the hissing tom onto land. "I'm here just to make sure every step you take is *miserable*, and only when you're begging me for mercy will I end your sorry life." ((**No** interrupting their moment, please!!)) -- Ashpaw, Muddyfang, Smokestorm

((RIP Shadowchaser trying to find his way home to the home that got washed away)) "I-I missed you too mom, I...I thought I'd never get to see you again." Shadowchaser did what he could to embrace the spirit of his mother, although he felt no warmth nor fur, it was the thought that counted. For several moments they sat in their embrace, mother and son, deceased and living, until a soft patter of rain caused them to step away. "Are you here to guide me, mom? I'm no chosen cat, right? StarClan, I can hardly be deputy, I-" Before he could finish spilling all his concerns, his beloved mother cut in. "You're a hero and more, my dear son. Who cares if you aren't some stereotypical 'brave' cat, who cares if you don't boss everyone else around? You have the biggest heart I've ever seen, Shadowchaser, and that's all that matters. Yes, this *is* your destiny. Go home....go home, sweetie, and know that I'll be supporting you every step of the way because I love you so, so much." -- Shadowchaser

Snowfall tried to breathe but water filled her lungs and she coughed so hard, until her scruff had been gripped and she was taken to land and lay there, she looked up and saw a fairly tall she-cat, well, actually, a VERY tall she-cat that was the color of sand with black stripes. But she was breathless and couldn’t speak as the tall she-cat vanished. She lay still and took slow breaths until she was back to her Normal self and started to help cats out.—**Snowfall** (a TundraClan cat)

Mapleblaze riushed Borage away and gotten back for more, but all the bobbing heads made her feel sickly, until she spotted Morningglade. “Morningglade!” She yowled and leaped into the water to retrieve her sister, she dragged her sisters golden pelt, then lay it on the ground as she ran back to retrieve her brothers and many more.—**Mapleblaze**

Rainsplash was in peril, she was under the waves and the camp was being flooded, she felt fangs grab her scruff and the next thing she new she was inland with other wet bodies, then she saw Borage being dragged to the shores, but she stood up, probably in search of Crookedflower, and her other kits. Wile Rainsplash wanted to lay down and sleep forever.—**Rainsplash**

Mitzi could just stand and watch, she needed to help, no. She needed to get help! And fast. So she buried the herbs as she was trained to do by her former mentor, then ran and followed a stale WillowClan scent, all the way until she saw a blackish pelt and a strong built tom with greenish amber eyes. “Oh my! Please! You must be from WillowClan! they're all in danger! the camp’s being flooded and many are dying!” She yowled,—**Mitzi** (to **Shadowchaser**?)

((Shadowchaser's on his quest, that's all he's doing until I have him return. None of my characters are open for interactions atm, except for maybe Dustykit))

((ok, then I’ll change it)) Who was this strange Kittypet? Nightstalker thought she already had enough on her paws with ScarClan. “What?” She growled. This strange black she-cat looked pretty worried. “Please! WillowClan needs help!” Nightstalker rolled her eyes, “fine.” She sighed, then was led to the horror show. “Whoa.” Nightstalker smiled. “oh this is a treat.” She grinned. Then she saw a few Kits, more like all about five kits drifting on a small wood, then she jumped in and grabbed all of them in one bite, then she leaped off of the wood and then dropped them off with the so-called medicine cat. Then looked around and found what she was looking for, her assignment, to find both Smokestorm and Muddypaw. But not this time, she wouldn’t interfere, she just kept helping, which annoyed her. But all she knew was she completed her mission; finding the traitor, and the assassin.—**Nightstalker**

"I should've have killed you back at home, you blind, crowfood-stinking badger." Muddyfang hissed at the gray tabby after he had his paws on the ground and was able to recoil from the forceful grab of his scruff. Smokestorm's teeth had punctured the skin on the brown warrior's scruff, leading small beads of blood to form on the nape of his neck. "I was right all along that they'd send some mousebrain like you to finish the job. You're not going to get to make my life miserable, because I'm not going to let you." Muddyfang snarled with his hackles raised, his own face inches from Smokestorm's. The blind tom remained cool the entire time, so collected that it might cause chills to run down one's spine.

"We'll see about that, Muddypaw. We'll see." The ScarClan assassin narrowed his sightless blue eyes as his ears began to flatten, as if the pair were prepared to initiate a full-out brawl. However, before the thought could even cross their minds, the sound of a frantic cat rang in their ears. Down the shoreline of the overflowing river came a panicked, mud-covered Ashpaw, breathlessly attempting to recover her rescuer.

"Muddyfang!" She gasped once she finally skidded to a halt before the pair of toms, fighting to catch her breath. "Y-You're alive! And....you have a friend?" -- Ashpaw, Muddyfang, Smokestorm

"Wait...go home? What do you mean?" Shadowchaser called out to his mother desperately as her spirit began to slowly fade into thin air, with the only remains being her sweet scent and the faintest sound of her disappearing purr. "Wait!" The deputy called out frantically once more, only for his mother to completely vanish. He glanced down at his paws sorrowfully, pondering over his mothers words as he slowly shuffled along like a starving bear. *Go home...go home...* He hadn't been home in so many moons- would he still remember where it was? Was it still there? Shadowchaser slowly proceeded along until, at last, he met the WillowClan-SeaClan border that was defined by a sharp, ridge-like incline. -- Shadowchaser

Cats of TundraClan had been swept away, along with the exploring StormClan and most of WillowClan, Rainsplash rose to her paws and coughed water. Then she saw Mistystream staring in horror, petrified. She ran up to her leader. “Mistystream, please look! We need you! I need you! You can’t leave the clan unsuited for this, you need to lead them! Now!” She struggled to get to her leaders head and Mistystream I’d dead but her fur bristled. *Guess I’ll need to do this myself,* she sighed, then Rainsplash ran to the cloud mound and called, “All cats on land, we need you to help the drowning and the ones who are being swept away! Everyone who gets pulled out of the current, we need you to get to the medicine cats! I believe we have enough with Cloudleaf and Cliffclaw, both medicine cats from the other two clans! I’ll figure out how to stop the water! Go, go, go!” She snarled. Then she leaped off and saw every cat working together. But that’s when she spotted familiar tones of fire under the water. “Crookedflower!” She yowled, then she literally sprang from the tall cloudmound into the water with a huge splash.—**Rainsplash**

He drew in a deep breath as he glanced up the rocky slope, his muscles already tensing at the thought of how much work they were about to be put into. To make matters worse, the rain was strengthening, soaking the slopes of the ridge and making it extremely dangerous to scale. Shadowchaser paused and considered the situtation over- maybe it would be more wise of him to wait it out, to sleep and wait for the rain to cease so that the slope could be dried? *No...my clan needs me.*All*of the clans need me right now.* So, he began to climb the rocky terrain, taking his time and moving slowly in hopes that he wouldn't slip. But, he should have listened. When he was half-way up the rocks, his paws slipped out from underneath him and he plummetted to the ground before everything went black. -- Shadowchaser

Rainsplash carried the limp body by the scruff and dropped her on the muddy shore, a WHOLE group of cats gathered and Borage was among them, she was worried. Rainsplash took a closer look and then sighed and looked to the sky. “She’s dead.” Rainsplash announced. Then she glanced out as Skyshadow rushed to Crookedflower’s body, as did Flamekit. And Mistystar. Rainsplash sighed and looked around. “All cats should be out. But. But, I fear not lots of us survived the waters..... Mistystar. We mustn’t stay here.” Then she glanced at the sad Borage and the mourning cats. “Oh great starclan.” She whispered as she checked on the medicine cats.—**Rainsplash**

Nightstalker then finally was done and leaped near the fighting Smokestorm and Muddypaw (doesn’t know warrior name) Then she glanced at the snowy rosetted she-cat on the floor, her fur was thick with mud. “Hey guys. Nice to see your alive and he’s not?” She spat to Smokestorm as the rain poured and drops slid down her sleek black pelt.—**Nightstalker**

Before the flood started, Flamekit ran to the bush where she was before she was poisoned. Scorchkit panted behind her, "Flamekit, why are we running away?"Flamekit ignored the question and didn't speak until they were closer to the bush. "While we were talking to Bluekit, I heard a voice that said Behind the Bush." Scorchkit grinned, "So you are saying that we might find the cat you were looking for?" Flamekit nodded and walked quietly to the bush. When they both came closer, they heard the rustling of leaves and saw a dark brown tabby she-cat with glowing dark green eyes. Flamekit fur started to bristle as she growled, "Who are you? What re you going on WillowClan territory?" The she-cat whirled around and mewed, "Oh. I am Scar. I was just passing through." Scorchkit now spoke, "Well you best get off NOW!" Scar mewed, " What bravery for so small kits." As Scar padded away, Scorchkit asked, "Was that the only reason we came here for, to scare a cat?" Flamekit looked uncertain as she mewed, "No Scorchkit, I think we will see more of this Scar later." They both padded back to camp and Flamekit thought, "Was I wrong? Did I just dream that voice?" Scorchkit saw Flamekit was troubled and mewed with a grin, "You tried Flamekit. That is what counts. And who knows, we might see her again." As the 2 kits walked into camp, Flamekit saw Crookedflower and thought, "I should say thank you for saving my life." Before Flamekit could go over to Crookedflower, Flamekit heard Scorchkit yowl, "Flood!" Suddenly, WillowClan along with the other clans were busy. Flamekit and Scorchkti started to follow the other cats but Scorchkit slipped and was fighting against the strong currents. "Flamekit help me!" Flamekit ran to Scorchkit and tried to pull him up by his scuff, but the kit was already getting bigger and stronger. Suddenly Scorchkit became light and Flamekit was lifted from the ground. The 2 kits looked to see their hero: Skyshadow! Skyshadow ran with the two kits. Scorchkit and Flamekit saw that all the cats had escaped the flood except...................Crookedflower! One of the cats caught Crookedflower's dead body and dragged her to the other cats.

When all the cats were safe on higher ground, Flamekit, Scorchkit and Skyshadow ran to Crookedflower's wet ands dead body. "No Crookedflower!" Many of the cats exclaimed. Skyshadow, Flamekit and Scorchkti walked toward the wet cat and pressed their muzzle into her fur. Skyshadow whispered, "Crookedflower, I never really had the chance to know you. I can not thank you enough for saving Flamekit. I hope that StarClan welcomes you and that we may meet again." Skyshadow had her head bent over the dead she-cat. Scorchkit padded over and whispered, "Crookedflower, I never really knew you. But that is not the point. I hope Starclan welcomes you." Scorchkit mewed more quietly, "Without you I would have lost Flamekit. Thank you." Scorchkit bowed his head. Flamekit was the last to say good bye. Flamekit prayed to Crookedflower, "Crookedflower, why did you have to die?! I never had the chance to say thank you for saving my life. Please forgive me. I really wished we could have been friends." Flamekit heard the whisper of a sweet voice and smelled Crookedflower's scent, knowing that the she-cat felt the same way. "Good bye Crookedflower. Until we meet again."--Skyshadow, Flamekit and Scorchkit

Borage felt her anger grow and tears flood her eyes. “No, no no no no..... this, cat, be. It. She,” Borage sobbed. Pressing her warm nose into her daughter’s body, she then glanced to Rainsplash, the brave she-cat had brought Crookedflower up, saving her body from more harm of the water. “Rainsplash.” She meowed. Rainsplash looked up from her paws. “I, I thank you for bringing her. Here.” She sighed. Rainsplash smiled. Then dipped her head. Borage then sighed and lay next to her daughter.—**Borage**

Rainsplash padded away towards Mistystar, “mistystar, we’ve lost many cats here, and our camp’s flooded. I believe that we should start moving to higher ground and not stay here, it, it’s unstable. We could start climbing the cloudmound and go uphill, also. Why was StormClan here? Do they wish shelter also? Because the clan’s still packed.”—**Rainsplash**

Mitzi padded right up to her mentors face and then sighed. “Stormstreak. I may NEVER change the past, nor the future. I have only come to see, if. If, WillowClan was thriving since I’ve heard about the Plague.” She looked around and wondered. *Would I stay awhile? What about lucky? Would he miss me? Did anyone miss me? Where’s Mistystream? would she remember me? What about Skystar?* thoughts clouded Mitzi’s head, until she met Stormstreaks gaze, then she snapped out of it and promised herself; *Lucky, I promise I’ll come back once this whole thing goes. We might even have kits..... finally....* then she looked strait at Stormstreak.**—Mitzi**

Rainsplash looked away from Mistystar. “When do you think Shadowchaser will return with the antidote to this plague. I can feel it everywhere, even the forest is dying, and there’s no cure for a dying forest.” Then the thought hit her. “Wait, what if we can’t stay in the forest? What if StarClan forces us to move out of this plague filled place?! Oh Mistystar! We can’t!” Then she turned to her leader, “oh, erm, I mean, let’s keep our heads in the moment.” She sighed as she saw her leaders blank expression. Then turned away. “i‘m gonna explore around a bit. You know, search the whole territory for. Er, the destined one. and hunt wile I’m at it.” —**Rainsplash**

“NO!” A ferocious yowl settled the crowds. It was Snowfall, she was devastated, she couldn’t find her leader, “Tundrastar! Where are you!” She yowled to the drowned camp. Then she spotted a pile of spotted white fur on the ground, well, stuck in a marshy bank of mud and reeds with cobwebs. “Oh! No, no no no!” She ran up to her leaders body. “Tundrastar....” she sat close. Tundrastar coughed a bit then looked her daughter in the eyes. “Snowfall....” she whispered. “Snowfall felt tears bubble up in her eyes. “I have a feeling, and have had omens of willowclan saving the clan...” she coughed. “I believe this is our clan, and TundraClan will always be a clan, but WillowClan is the true home of of us. She turned to see the sky, which was lined with stars. “StarClan calls me, Snowfall. I want you to protect the clan, make sure they prosper without me, and have them guide us as we are WillowClan. This, this is my last life, Scarstar has gotten my others,” then she stared blankly mouthing, “goodbye” then Snowfall felt her spirit fade from tundrastar’s body. “I will. I promise I will do what I can. I will protect willowclan.” Then she dragged Tundrastar inland. And sat alone on a fallen tree staring at the twinkling stars. wondering which one was her mother. And if her mother could see her now.—**Snowfall** **(tundra is not snow’s mom)**

Skyshadow saw all the cats gather around the drowned bodies. Skyshadow thought, "We can't live here anymore. Unless Shadowchaser finds a cure for this, we must go." Skyshadow thought she should bring this up with Mistystar. As Skyshadow was padding over, Skyshadow saw a black cat talking to Stormstreak. "No Wait! Can it really be her?" Skyshadow decided to talk to the black cat later. Skyshadow mewed to Mistystar, "Mistystar, I am afraid that if Shadowchaser doesn't find a cure, we must leave with the other clans." Skyshadow saw Mistystar was nodding her head slowly but Skyshadow said quickly, "But we can give Shadowchaser a little time. You think about that and come back to tell me what you think. And I think the apprentice ceronony can wait if you want." Skyshadow started to check all the cats who might need help.--Skyshadow

​Flamekit and Scorchkti were sitting on a rock, growing their wet fur. After they were all dry, Scorchkit asked, "Are you ok? You been quiet." Flamekit mewed, "I am just thinking about Scar. I have a feeling that I should investigate her. Maybe spy on her." Scorchkit exclaimed, "You are planning to take that dangerous cat? Did you see her scars?" Flamekit mewed softly, "I am going to spy on her for a while. You don't have to do it if you don't want to." Scorchkit muzzled Flamekit and said, "I would do anything with you Flamekit. I was just worried about you." Flamekit smiled a little and mewed, "Well then what are we waiting for!?" Flamekit ran with Scorchkit by her side and went to the bush where the Scar might be. Before they even arrived there, they both bumped into a a white she-cat: Rainsplash. Flamekit quickly said, "Hi Rainsplash. We were just taking a nice walk around. Talk to ya later. Bye!" Flamekit kept running until they escaped the white cat. "Wow , good job Flamekit. You got us out of trouble." Flamekit grinned. As they padded to the bush, they didn't hear any rustling but they could smell that Scar had been there before. "Scar is still coming, but why?" Scorchkit shrugged, Maybe she was looking for something." Flamekit added, "Or someone." Scorchkit mewed brightly, "Come on, let us get back to camp. We can come back later. We have to make it in time for our apprentice ceremony." Flamekit looked surprised, "WHAT?! We are going to be apprentices?" "UM YEAH. Didn't you hear Skyshadow talking to Mistystar?" Flamekit mewed, "NO! The clan wants me to be an apprentice?! But I was a rouge! They never trusted me!" Scorchkit pressed is body against her and mewed, "They want you to become and apprentice. The clan wants you to become later a warrior!" Flamekit and Scorchkit padded back to camp.--Scorchkit and Flamekit

He didn't know how long he was out for, but when he opened his eyes, he wasn't below the ridge anymore. Shadowchaser's head was pounding in pain and he grumbled lightly out of pain, rolling onto his side to see a pair of cats standing before him. It was a tom and a she-cat, and based on how they stood side-by-side, they were likely mates. "...I told you we should have just left him, Danny!" It was the tom who spoke in a scornful tone, his tail tip twitching out of his irritation. His companion, the silvery-charcoal spotted tabby, spoke in a light voice, "every cat deserves a second chance, Salmontooth. In times like these, every life counts." Her eyes brightened when Shadowchaser struggled to his paws. "Hello- you must be a WillowClan cat! I'm Danita, and this is my mate, Salmontooth." -- Shadowchaser, Danita, Salmontooth

“you can’t blame me for having kits with a stupid sheep! He loved me! I loved him! This is how it works! And I’m sorry if they die, its not my problem if they aren’t his!” Slatepuddle growled to the tree’s. She felt so misguided. First her mate ABANDONED her, right as she was about to tell him they’ll have kits, then she felt angry for awhile and most of her BEST friends doed of the plague, and now. What was the point of these kits? Why did she NEED them at the final hour of the clans? She grumbled. Then her eyes grew wide and one of her kits kicked her in the side, “ack! Can you stop that!” She hissed. She only knew about the kits a few moons ago, and she knew it’d still be awhile til they’d be brought into this cruel world. What was the point in bringing more mouths to feed when TundraClan has joined WillowClan? And now StormClan! And she barely survived the flood! And now she wanted to die already! These kits mean nothing if they come from a horrible mouse dung of a father. It’s too early for peace and kits and she ruined the clan with these kits. “All a burden.” she spat. Then a crack in the trees halted her paws. Of course she was from WillowClan, her calico pelt shown as she leaped down. “What do you want?” She grumbled with a sigh. “Rainsplash says you’ve gone missing?” She grinned. “Well you aren’t taking me back til I finish my walk.” Slatepuddle growled. “Eh. Well we've found you anyway. Why’re you out here? Exactly?” She asked. “To get these thoughts out of my head. About my stupid mate! And a burden of kits!” She snarled at her paws. Then the calico raised a brow and put on a smug grin. “Oh? C’mon, all kits aren’t ever a burden.” She licked a paw. “Mine are, they’re unwanted and gonna be born in the WRONG timeline for the clans. Plus, their mother thinks they’re a pain! Literally!” She rolled her eyes. “I’m Mapleblaze, by the way. I think we can relate, if I had kits in these horrid times, I’d agree with you. Even though I may never find a mate. I don’t want any request from StarClan.” She then stood again. “I’m Slatepuddle.” Slatepuddle answered. “Think I can tag along on your little therapy tree walk?” Mapleblaze asked, shifting her shoulders and yawning. “Sure, my I don’t mind.” Slate answered cheerfully. “We could discuss our problems together.” Mapleblaze said padding to Slatepuddle‘s left side. And they began to walk through the forest.—**Slatepuddle**

Ripplepaw was worried, Borage caught the plague shortly and he needed an apprentice to have been assigned to the elders duty. but then he really needed to become the medicine cat..... “Stormstreak where are you.....” then he turned his head to see a small black Kittypet staring strait at his tall gray mentor. Then he ran up to them, but then remembered the stories she’s told about Risingdawn. Then he turned to see Dustykit. “Hey! Dustykit!” Then he turned to see another small strong kit. “Dustykit and Bluekit, Could you come here?” Then he padded to them. “Hey, are any of you interested in helping us Medicine cats? We really need to take water soaked moss to all the sick cats and queens, Ambereye seems to cough a little. But don’t use the water that flooded camp, that’s mud now. i think we found a pool of fresh water up that grassy hill up there.” He looked to the hill of no trees. “You should use these,” he slid the two bundles of moss at their paws. “Please work quickly, I think—“ then he suddenly heard his name. “RIPPLEPAW! Please help! Tundrastar is unwell!” It was a TundraClan she-cat, Snowfall was it? “I-I’ll be right there!” He gasped then leaped away. Hopefully the kits were willing to help out.—**Ripplepaw**

Before Stormstreak could speak Mitzi spotted her old leader. “Skystar?!” She ran up to her former leader, “oh Skystar, it’s so great to see you again! It’s me, Risingdawn!” She was so happy to see a friend again. Then she glanced to the taller she-cat, “Mistystream? Whoa, it’s been ages my friend! How are you both? Man, I've missed the clans.” What was she saying? Who was saying this? Why? Mitzi felt all these thoughts cloud her head and rapidly turn to a storm of; Why?”I mean, I’ve come to help you from the new life I’ve begun, and hope to be of great use.” But first she wanted to check on her friends.—**Mitzi**

Dustykit was pulling muck and gross water-stuff out of his fur from when he had been fleeing from the water. It was icky and didn't smell good, but how would he wash all of it out? He wasn't going *anywhere* near the water after that incident, he'd be swept away! The little flame point kit raised his head when Ripplepaw said something to him about helping out with the medicine cats. "I like to eat herbs!" He shouted out proudly, even though that *probably* wasn't what they needed help with. -- Dustykit

"I...Where am I?" Shadowchaser asked with an edge of franticness in his voice, eyes darting between the warrior and loner, to the surroundings around them. This wasn't where he had fallen- where had this pair of cats taken him to? Salmontooth stepped forward, ruffling his fur to make himself appear more intimidating as he huffed at the stranger aggressively. "I am Salmontooth, a warrior of SeaClan, and you're trespassing within our territory. Speak now, or I'll skin you alive." The bicolored tom's voice seemed rough, as if he was getting over an illness, or perhaps it was how he normally spoke. Shadowchaser glanced at both Salmontooth and Danita before he narrowed his eyes sharply. "You act as if I'm breaking the code when clearly *you're* the one betraying your clan by taking up a mate outside of your clan. I'm Shadowchaser, and I'm looking for the cure." -- Shadowchaser, Salmontooth, Danita

Bluekit chuckled, “I think Ripplepaw ment for us to get this moss stuff, soak it in clear water up that, then give it to everyone? I payed attention. I guess?” She looked over at everything. Then grabbed her patch of moss and climbed the geprassy hill, the stars had shown since the sun set and the pool reflected their warrior ancestors. “I wonder when this whole Plague charade will be over.” She sighed. “Don’t you ever wonder, ‘how many more lived will it take for the clans to get out of the dark’?” She asked the nearing Sustykit. “And like, why starclan’s doing this to us? W never did anything wrong to them!”—**Bluekit**

Rainsplash round no Shadowchaser, all she found was a pair of naughty warriors, well, one was a queen. “Hey!” She called from the pines, then she climbed down the tree, as she saw the two halt she raised a brow. “Mapleblaze? What in the name of StarClan are you doing away from you Clan in need!?” She asked, “oh! I was just...l um, helping Slatepuddle with some er, Kitting advice? We needed some fresh air.” She looked guilty. “Ugh, StarClan bless us..... okay, well we’ll need you two back at camp asap. I don’t know how we’re gonna take any more of the plague and StarClans wrath any longer. If only Shadowchaser came back early and we could stop this whole thing. Skyshadow started advising Mistystar that the clans might need to leave the forest. And that might happen if Shadowchaser never returned, or just never found the cure.” She sighed, “you should make yourself useful, Mapleblaze, and start hunting. We might bring the clan to this sunny pine spot, it seems to be plentiful of prey even though the trees are, colorless.” Rainsplash yawned. “I’ll report to Mistystar.” She turned to leave, then looked back. “And Slatepuddle, make sure Mapleblaze doesn’t act like a mouse-brain.” Then she ran off, “ ey ey Captain.” Slatepuddle giggled along with a scolding from Mapleblaze. Rainsplash was glad TundraClan and WillowClan we’re getting along. Almost as one huge clan.—**Rainsplash**

Mapleblaze felt her fur bristle. “If I were deputy I bet I’d make everyone do what I want em’ to.” She whispered. “That’s probably why you aren’t deputy.” Slatepuddle giggled. She sighed. “I’ve heard Tundrastar‘s dead, and. I think I'm gonna agree about the clans leaving, I never likes the weird biome diversions, they’re all weird, like, snow, then stiles, but then harsh red stone and stuff, Tundraclan’s hit hard.” She yawned. “What about you?” She meowed. “Oh!” Mapleblaze was in a stalk. “I—I wouldn’t say I’d want to leave, its just, most of my friends and family have died here.... I don’t know where in StarClan my mother is, and.....” *what about Windstrike? Am I still a warrior of the dark forest? But. I—I don’t want to be. It was, temporary, right? Oh, what if I’ll die in my sleep!* Mapleblaze s turn stopped bristling as Slatepuddle’s soft tail brushed her shoulder, “what’s wrong? I know we’ve only known each other for very long, but I think you can trust me.” She purred. “Mapleblaze stood strait now, “have, you ever..... felt hate, and, loneliness, and everyone doesn’t ever get you and punishes you for doing you?” She asked, lowering her head sending her gaze to her paws, “yes.” Mapleblaze looked up. “I have, every time I met my mate. That’s why my kits will be a burden. Like ha was. A burden of bad luck.” Mapleblaze chuckled a fake laugh. “I just feel, like itll destroy my family and my friends.”—**Mapleblaze**

"It is nice to see you to Mitzi. Oh and call me Skyshadow. Mistystream is Mistystar." Skyshadow saw that the black she-cat was confused and Skyshadow explained, "When I mourned for my lost deputy, Moondust, I didn't come out of my den for a while. When I came out I saw that the clan was fine without me. I thought that the clan didn't need me anymore and I left. While I was leaving, I found a badger with Flamekit in it's jaws and I saved Flamekit, who is my adopted daughter." Beaconing to the dark ginger kit that was walking in camp with Scorchkit. "I stayed with the clan, since they said they needed me, and StarClan wanted me to retire. So here I am, a warrior of WillowClan." Turing to Mistystar, Skyshadow grinned and mewed, "And I am glad Mistystar convinced me to stay. It is nice having you back Mitzi and I hope you stay for a while." --Skyshadow

Flamekit and Scorchkit were padding into the so called camp. Scorchkit saw Skyshadow walking away from Mistystar and a black she-cat. "Hey Flamekit. I will talk to you later, there is something I need to do." Flamekit looked confused but mewed, "Um ok Scorchkit. Bye." As Scorchkit padded away, Flamekit bumped into a familiar white cat: Rainsplash. "Sorry Rainsplash. I didn't see where I was going." Suddenly an idea appeared in Flamekit's mind. "Hey um you haven't happen to see a dark brown tabby she-cat with scars all around and dark green eyes have you?" Flamekit knew she might have to give an explanation the Rainsplash but maybe that could mean the start of a new friendship.--Flamekit

Rainsplash turned to the small ginger she-kit. “Oh? No, I haven’t seen any cat that fits your description.” Rainsplash was now confused. “What do you mean? Is there a loner in our territory now?” She felt her fur bristle. “Maybe we should investigate.” Rainsplash looked to the trees, if there really was a vicious cat out there stalking the clans, she needed to put an end to her crimes. —**Rainsplash**

"Wait Rainsplash, let me talk to you first Don't tell the clan!" Flamekit looked around and mewed to the white she-cat, "Come. I will tell you why, but somewhere away from the other cats. Flamekit padded away to a bush.--Flamekit

Mistystar looked at Skyshadow and mewed in agreement, “I am very glad that you stayed too Skyshadow. I wouldn’t be able to lead WillowClan without your support.” Turning to the black she-cat, Mistystar mewed, “Mitiz I missed you too. A lot has changed since you have left. But unfortunately, there won’t be much time to chat. We have just been hit by a big flood and lost one of our special warriors: Crookedflower. We hope you will be staying for a while. If we don’t move now, the whole clan might drown.” --Mistystar

Scorchkit padded towards Skyshadow and mewed shyly, "Um Skyshadow, can I talk to you?" The black and white cat looked at him suspiciously, but nodded. Scorchkit walked away toward a bush. Skyshadow mewed sharply, Now, what is this all about?" Scorchkit took a deep breath. "Listen Skyshadow. I know you are suspicious of me, especially whenever I am around Flamekit. I just want to be friends with her and I can't be that if you don't like that. What is so bad with me being with Flamekit?" Skyshadow mewed sharply, "Scorchkit I know that you want to be more than friends with Flamekit. I know you love her. And you are a kit! Kits aren't supposed to be in love. And especially with Flamekit." Scorchkit mewed quietly, "Skyshadow, I know I am just a kit and kits aren't supposed to be in love, but Flamekit is special, special because of you. Flamekit is kind, fierce, brave, daring, strong, beautiful and smart, all thanks to you. I just love her and anyway I am going to be an apprentice. Please Skyshadow, let me just love Flamekit. I don't want any harm." Skyshadow calmed down a little and agreed, "Fine Scorchkit, I will let you be with by daughter." Skyshadow took one step closer and growled, "But if you offend my daughter, I will have a rip your fur off." Skyshadow padded away towards Mitzi, Mistystar and Stormstreak. Skyshadow was ok with Scorchkit. "WHAT A RELEAF."--Skyshadow and Scorchkit

Dustykit seemed to be off in his own world like any other innocent kitten, humming to himself as he rolled the moss around in the pool of water. Clearly, it was becoming more of a game for him than anything else. "I don't think StarClan can control *everything*. Besides, if cats didn't die, there'd be no StarClan." The flame point had somehow managed to cover himself in water again while soaking the mossball before he drug it out, using all of his weight to pull the sopping plant. -- Dustykit

Salmontooth's fur began to bristle with Shadowchaser challenged him, forcing the bicolored tom to step forward and prepare to slap the WillowClanner across the face, but it was even-tempered Danita that stopped him with a swift movement of her tail. "Cure? What do you mean 'cure'?" There was a curious gleam in the silver tabby's eye, as if she was hopeful of something, of Shadowchaser's offer. Had the sickness hit this area as well?

"Apparently StarClan had a prophecy, that I'd find the cure." Shadowchaser suddenly seemed nervous when all pressure was on his shoulder's, especially around two strangers. One of which obviously wanted to gouge his eyes out. Salmontooth scoffed something about how Shadowchaser, a cat so cowardly, could be chosen by StarClan. Like he was supposed to be a *hero*. Both the WillowClanner and Danita ignored his comment.

"Really? Do you know where it is? Right now?" There was no hiding it anymore- Danita had a problem, someone she cared for was sick. However, Shadowchaser didn't pry- it wasn't his buisness, so it wasn't his place to do so.

"Uhm, well...I need to find this rock, by SeaClan, overlooking the ocean. StarClan told me to...go home. That was where I was born, with my mom, that was home." -- Shadowchaser, Salmontooth, Danita

**Hey guys, I am sad to admit that I am leaving the WillowClan Roleplay Wiki. I hate to do this, but I never have any time to be on it and I have just missed so much. I have missed two archives, and if I did get the time to read it I wouldn't have time to roleplay. I have enjoyed my time on the wiki, and I will miss roleplaying on it. All of my characters are free to be claimed and roleplayed by anyone. If you wanna chat, see me on other wikis like Minecraft Roleplay Wiki, or others. -SwiftShadow777**

Bluekit slowly smiled. “Whoa! I never thought about that! Your smarter than I am!” She giggled as she dropped the moss and spat the little weeds out “ugh! Gross! Why do we have to do this?”—**Bluekit**

Mitzi dipped her head. “I’ll stay as long as needed.” She purred. Then suddenly a small Lynx point tom rna up to the three she-cats. “Who’s this? He smells like—!” “I’m ripplepaw, Stormstreak‘s apprentice, well, active apprentice.” He meowed quickly, Mitzi couldn’t help but to frown and couldn’t hide it. “Mistystar! Mistystar! I did all I could, but, but, I think Tundrastar’s dead!” Mitzi hissed, “WHAT? No your not doing it right then! C’mon Ripplepaw! Follow the experiences, we haven’t much time to lose!” She ran like a bolt of lighting to the sickly she-cat in the reeds, “pull her out mouse-brain!” as Mitzi pulled the snowy she-cat out she had gotten herbs from the medicine cats den and started scenting them, ‘use these on her wounds, then let her eat this, it'll work.” As Ripplepaw finished, Tundrastar coughed a wad of blood, then started to breathe slowly, “who—What, happened?” And all the cats of TundraClan called her name. “Risingdawn, Risingdawn, Risingdawn!” until Stormstreak cut them off with a yowl of anger.—**Mitzi**

Rainsplash sat and curled her tail. “What do you mean? We need the clan to know the unexpected before this loner knows they’re clueless!” She spat, *oh Rainsplash, be nicer! This is just a kit! But why not tell the clan? Mistystar needs to know! But she’s already under much worry as it is,* all voices of her mind sang. “Erm, what’s wrong with telling the clan Flamekit?” She asked gently.-Rainsplash

Salmontooth's temper changed at a flip of a coin when Shadowchaser mentioned living on a rock at the sea. Danita could hold him back no longer, and he circled the WillowClan tom as if he was going to be his dinner. "You! *You're* that worthless pile of foxdung that lived with that piece of *crowfood* of a loner on Outlook Rock!" Salmontooth roared at the peppered tom, not even hesitating to insult his mother directly. When he dared to refer to her as rotting flesh, Shadowchaser suddenly grew hostile, a scene rarely seen. The coarse fur on his hackles raised like porcupine quills, and he immediately thrusted his muzzle into Salmontooth's face.

"You will *never* call my mother crowfood so long as I stand here, you bee-brained, dog-breathed badger! If you do, may StarClan have pity on your soul, because I will tear you apart piece by piece in front of your own mate, and it'll be such a gruesome scene that she'll go blind and wish she'd never seen or heard of 'Shadowchaser'. Got it?" Shadowchaser spit into the SeaClan warrior's face with his limbs stiff, prepared to jump into action and beat Salmontooth into a pulp if necessary. But even after the threat, Salmontooth didn't back down, but the unspoken hurt was evident in his eyes.

"Your mother was the reason why my father, *our* father, never loved me nor my mom! No, it was all about you and your mom- he loved you two cowards more than his own clan, more than the code, more than his position as *deputy*." Salmontooth hissed in whiny tone before finally he backed away and fell into a coughing fit. -- Shadowchaser, Salmontooth, Danita

Slatepuddle felt another kick and hissed. “What’s wrong? Oh. Are your burdens of bad luck popping up again?” Mapleblaze asked with a mouthful of squirrels. Slatepuddle sighed. “No, I was just, erm, hungry.” She had a bad feeling about these kits, a very very bad feeling. She sighed and looked to the stars. —Slatepuddle

Nightstalker rolled her eyes, “why don’t you stop fighting like newborn kits and start looking around, there are cats everywhere, and do you both really think you should be fighting right now?” She hissed at Muddyfang and Smokestorm. Then looked to Ashpaw. “Who is this?”—**Nightstalker**

Flamekit shrank back a little. Could she really trust Rainsplash? “Oh, StarClan please may this be the right thing!” Flamekit took a deep breath and sat up straight. “Rainsplash, I think there is a rouge on out territory. It all started before I got bitten from the snake. I had a dream that I was at this bush and saw 2 dark green eyes staring at me. Then everything turned black and I heard claws, yowls of pain and the smell of blood. Then I heard “Beware Flamekit of...” and then nothing. That night I didn’t find anything except the snake. Then later I heard, when we were talking to Bluekit, a voice that said, “Behind the bush!” I ran to the bush and saw Scar, the dark tabby she-cat with dark green eyes and scars all around. I ask what she was doing on out territory and she replied that she was just passing through. But I doubt that. I went to the bush again and she wasn’t there, but her scent was there.” Flamekit paused to take a breath. “I believe, Rainsplash, that she is looking for something or someone. I don’t know who though. Please Rainsplash don’t tell the clan yet, not until we found out more. Please Rainsplash for my sake!” Before the white she-cat could reply, Scorchkit padded into the bush and mewed cheerfully, “Hi Flamekit, what are you doing?” Seeing Rainsplash Scorchkit frowned and said, “Is there a problem?” Flamekit shook her head. “Scorchkit, I asked if Rainsplash knew she had seen Scar. Rainsplash said no and asked me to explain. So that is what I was doing.” Flamekit looked again at Rainsplash and pleaded, “Please Rainsplash, you can help us but don’t tell the clan. Please! --Flamekit

Rainsplash never liked to keep secrets, especially from Mistystar. But she sighed. *Okay, Flamekit.* She couldn’t believe she was talking to a kit about this. “Fine. But if this gets too critical then I’m telling Mistystar. Okay?” She realized; *oh! It’s past their apprentice ceremony time, isn’t it. Oh Mistystar! Couldn’t you just do that to the five cats? Stormkit was very broad now, and well, Dusthkit and Bluekit are still kind of young, but then it’s three cats!* “But we cant stay from the clan long, we should get rest, then search in the morning for this; ‘Scar’ she-cat.”—**Rainsplash**

Flamekit eyes brightened. “Thank you Rainsplash. I promise
that if it gets to big, we will tell Mistystar and Skyshadow.  But that is only if it gets serious. We can start tomorrow and we will do this togeter, no hiding secerts.” Scorchkit added, “FIRST we have to get out of this bush, ready
for our apprentice ceremony.” Flamekit grinned, nodded her thanks to Rainsplash
and padded out of the bush with Scorchkit.--Flamekit and Scorchkit

Shadowchaser stared at the SeaClanner in shock- not because he was hacking up his lungs, but because he spoke as if they had the same father. "You mean...we're half-brothers?" He sounded disbelieved, primarily because he thought that he was all alone for so many moons. Salmontooth didn't appear to be nearly as grateful as the WillowClan deputy, as he was still doubled over and gasping for breath while Danita tried to help him recover. But he quickly shoved his mate away, attempting to look powerful independently.

"Yes, as much as it shames me to say. And if you're looking for Outlook Rock, it's just over that slope. I wanted to just leave you down at that border to drown in the mud and rain, but *someone* was set on bringing you up here into SeaClan territory." Salmontooth wheezed as he glowered at Shadowchaser and then over at Danita, as if blaming her for the whole incident. While he was still throwing his little fit, Danita looked absolutely delighted.

"The cure- this means you can be saved, Salmontooth!" The silver tabby chirped merrily, recalling that the WillowClan tom had been sent to find it. Surely, he had to be close to it, and certainly her mate would accept his help. They were brothers after all, he couldn't deny what ran in his veins. But Salmontooth was far from finished.

"No." The black-and-white tom grumbled stubbornly, staggering a few steps away from both Shadowchaser and Danita as the shock set in on their expressions. "I don't want OR need your help, Shadowchaser. I can recover on my own." -- Shadowchaser, Danita, & Salmontooth

(if you're thinking I didn't read the roleplay, you'd be correct. Signed, your lazy friend, Hawk))

((I think Silver just called a seaClan cat a SeaClanner. 50000 points to silverwhisker))

As the rain intensefied into a downpour, Mistystar headed towards her den. Shadowchaser's nest, Stormstreak's nest, Crookedflower's nest, and Skyshadow's nest had been moved there, due to the crowded dens. Stormstreak was curled up, asleep. Just as Mistystar nosed her way into the den, a small whimper drew her attention. *A kit? Surely their mother wouldv'e tooken them to the nursery.* The WillowClan camp was crowded with WillowClan, TundraClan's survivors, and StormClan. *We can't go on like this...* Another small cry jerked Mistystar out of her thoughts. A small brown point kit ((Snowkit shout out)) was struggling in the rain, about twenty fox-lengths from camp. Mistystar's mind raced through all the brown point cats in the camp. *There's only me and Tundrastar!* Mistystar bounded towards the kit, who was being blown towards the river on the ThornClan border. *No! -Misty*

Danita shrugged away shamefully as her mate shoved her off, although the hurt gleam in her eyes quickly faded away. "I'll take you to Outlook Rock, Shadowchaser. Salmontooth was on his way back to SeaClan's camp, anyways." The silver tabby spoke in a more distant tone, making it obvious that Salmontooth's refusal to seek medical assistance had left her upset. Without bringing it up, or even waiting for Shadowchaser's answer, she turned towards the sea and began to march off. -- Danita, Shadowchaser, Salmontooth

*Meanwhile in SeaClan...*

Once again, that Salmontooth guy had disappeared from camp without permission- and Minnowsplash hadn't even mentioned patrols quite yet! To add, the tom was getting ill and had since lost both his mother and father. What was with him and always hanging around Outlook Rock, anyways? Pushing the concern out of his mind, the SeaClan deputy had exited camp to go search for the irksome warrior. -- Minnowsplash

Mapleblaze returned to camp and put the prey in a clearing, “we really need a better leader. These cats are freaking out.” She rolled her eyes. Then saw Slatepuddle staring in shock at the crowd. “She-she did it! She saved Tundrastar!”—**Mapleblaze**

The kit struggled against the harsh wind, mewling. *She's tipping into the river!* Mistystar thought with a surge of panic. With the downpour around them and the swollen river below them, that would be a death sentence. Mistystar lurched foward, grabbing the kit by its scruff, just as the pair plummeted into the river. ((hmm this needs to be more dramatic. Time for some CLIFFHANGERS!!!)) *No!* Mistystar churned her paws against the gushing water, but the effort was futile. All of Mistystar's strength was focused on keeping the kit above water. They were passing the SeaClan border now... Soon they'de be in the tunnel cutting through the plateau that sheltered SeaClan's camp. *We'll be in the ocean!* As Mistystar and the kit were engulfed on all sides by darkness, Mistystar felt a hard blow on the back of her head, abd everything went black. -Misty ((ooh I like dat cliffhanger))

((Say, it could be \*hint hint\* time for a rescue by a certain SeaClan deputy)))

Although he hadn't been succesful in tracking down Salmontooth (honestly, he wasn't in the mood for all the stress at the moment), the SeaClan deputy decided to head down towards the sea, where the river met the ocean, because that was where the fish were usually most plentiful. Minnowsplash settled down by the gushing water, which seemed to be a little more "surplus" due to the recent and unexpected heavy rain. He could spot a few silvery fish flailing against the water, but it was an awfully small amount of them. However, just before he could squish one against the rocky bank, something fuzzy floated by, and so he fished it out and left it on the bank.

...that was one funny fish.

...oh- wait! It was a cat! With a kit?

Minnowsplash prodded the form several times, as this cat clearly wasn't from SeaClan- otherwise, he'd actually recognize them. "Hey!" He decided to shout loudly in an attempt to wake the soaked cat up. "You're scaring away all my fish!" -- Minnowsplash

Rainsplash leaped over Flamekit to see what the yowls were and hissed in annoyance; “Where’s Mistystar!? What happened?! We’re leaderless! Aaahhhhhh!!!” She was getting a headache, “STOP!” She snapped. All were silent. “What’s wrong? Ripplepaw, fill me in.” She asked. “Oh! Er, it’s mistystar, she’s gone! And everyone’s fussing about not having a strong leader for them.” He shuddered. *What if scar took her? These forest aren’t safe at the moment...... hmmm, I’ll have to lead them through this before it gets chaotic....* “i will cope for Mistystar.” She spat towards the clans and leaped to the cloudmound, her fur felt nice in a small breeze. She heard both yowls of approval, and despise “Okay, the other leaders need to help. I’m thinking the three clans move to the forest behind the stormclan mountains. We’ll sleep in the clearing in front of it under the moonlight and then start to thrive over there, it’s not permanent, but it needs to do so everyone can get their strength back.” Then turned ti Stormstar. “Are those forest plentiful of prey?” She asked sternly to the old tom. “Y-yes, we barely hunt there, it’s always full of prey, but a long walk away. That’s why we don’t hunt there.” Rainsplash smiled and pride purest into her stomach. “Okay, well leave at sunrise, now we need to sleep. “Mapleblaze, Sunflower, Dapplefrost, Snowfall, and Muddyfang, we need you to guard the camp we’ve sort of made and make sure nothing harms the sleeping cats, you might want to pick a cat to switch with so at moonhigh you get some rest wile the other cat goes and takes your place.” She nodded at them. Then turned to the queens, Stormsnow was rapidly licking Bluekit and Dustykit was around that area, Flamekit and Scorchkit were where she left them? No, Flamekit was below her. And Stormkit was sleeping with Ambereye. “Queens, please keep the kits in your area, we need Brackenleaf to Guevara you extra, and, um, erm, elders you sleep in the middle of the warriors and apprentices after the elders with the warriors at the end? I’m thinking I’ll sleep up here with the other leaders?” Tundrastar nodded and Stormstar started padding over. “Erm, (how do I stop a meeting?” She asked Stormstar. “Meeting dismissed, you know your posts!” He yowled. “Like that.” He smiled. Rainsplash say Flamekit’s expression, annoyance? Worry? anger? Confusion? *Please don’t get mad! This is for your own good! We need to protect the clans, all three of them. And we don’t have a leader or deputy to guide us!* Rainsplash couldn’t sleep that night, she sat staring at all the cats. *How are we gonna do this?***—Rainsplash**

Ripplepaw padded up to Rainsplash that night shortly after she announced. “I’m thinking the medicine cats go to the Moon willow to find a solution?” He was scared, and worried, he knew he needed to do something, he needed to go and see what StarClan has for him. “Oh! Sure, erm, taaaaake...... Spiderfang with you, he isn't asleep. And may StarClan guide you paws.” She grumbled out of butter sleepiness. Ripplepaw padded away and told Spiderfang, ‘WHAT? Me? To the moon Willow? Sure!” “Sshhhh! Be quiet!” Ripplepaw whispered as they left camp. “Shouldn’t Stormstreak or Cloudleaf come too?” He asked. “No, they’re coughing a little too. We can’t risk them getting any worse. C’mon!” They started running now.......... As soon as they arrived, Spiderfang kept guard at the roots. Ripplepaw climbed the tree and sat on its thick branches, the leaves were reflecting the moons light, pale greens and moon mints shown, it almost made it glow. Then Ripplepaw lay with his tail hanging and drifted into sleep, Then awoke in a forest of stars and color.**—Ripplepaw**

Skyshadow sat still, in her. Thoughts. “Mistystar is gone and so is the deputy. Is this a sigh that I am supposed to lead them?” Skyshadow shook her head. “Mistystar got her nine lives and name, she was chosen………. but maybe I am supposed to lead them now, when Mistystar is gone.” Skyshaodw nodded and yowled, “Everyone don’t fear. Mistystar will come back! But for now, we need the strongest warriors. Muddyfang, Mapleblaze, Morningglade and Rainsplash I need you!” As the cats padded towards her, Skyshadow saw that the cats all looked at her, not with disgust, but with hope. --Skyshadow

Scorchkit sat next to Flamekit, looking at the cat working. “Well I guess we have to wait for our apprentice ceremony.” Flamekit nodded. Scorchkit added, “I don’t see why they are panicking so much. What if Mistystar went for a walk, or patrol or to make dirt? And anyway, we still have Skyshadow, who was the former leader of WillowClan.” Flamekit’s eyes were had a wild flame in her eyes. Before Scorchkit could ask what was wrong, Scorchkit heard Skyshadow yowl to him, “Scorchkit help the elders and queens calm down.” Scorchkit nodded and mewed to Flamekit, “Well I guess I will see you later.” --Scorchkit

Scar padded out of the bush, sniffing the ground. “She keeps coming, and I will wait. That kit, I know her, and I must do something about that. –Scar

Flamekit eyes were burning with anger. Did the clan forget they have Skyshadow still, one of the best Willow Clan leaders! And first Rainsplash was angry at her for not telling and when she finally told, Rainsplash just turns it away and starts acting as she is leader. “I don’t need to wait for her or anybody else. I can just go on my own. I was wrong on trusting her.” Flamekit crept out of camp. When Flamekit got closer to the bush, she could smell the scent of a cat strong. “I might meet her again and this time tell her to stay away.-- Flamekit

“Skyshadow? What’s wrong!” Rainsplash asked. “Yeah, it’s not like I really want to be summoned!” Mapleblaze hissed. But then was silenced with a glare by Rainsplash. Then she looked around camp. “Wait,” before Skyshadow could speak. “Have any of you seen Flamekit? I can’t see her ginger pelt anywhere.”—**Rainsplash**

“Ripplepaw.” A voice began. “W-StarClan? What is it?” He whispered. “The clans are in grave danger.” The voice began again. “But, Shadowchaser found the cure, right? And is making his way back? Right?” He shivered. “Unfortunately, he‘ll be away for awhile. The Forest, it’ll be destroyed! Ripplepaw, only you know, the clans will suffer and their home’ll be destroyed! The storm is coming Ripplepaw. And your in the center of it.” She hissed. Ripplepaw’s fur bristled. Then he saw another cats figure. “you need your medicine cats name, it’s time,” he announced. “But—but, Stormstreak—“ “Stormstreak is in bad shape and will join us soon, she is getting weaker every day and suffering of the plague you call it. We need you and the others to join forces and fight it.” He snarled. “Rainsplash said we’d move though, right?” He asked. “Yes, we’ve watched her closely and guided her paws. But she is only there to help.” “Ripplepaw, you must listen.”—Ripplepaw

Morningglade was out hunting for the clan with Cobaltsky. The clan had so many new warriors to feed now! "So..." Cobaltsky said, smirking. "I heard you're hot on Muddyfang." "What me? No! Muddyfang is... No! No! Maybe?" Morningglade stuttered, blushing furiously. Cobaltsky nudged her fondly. "You are so obvious!" "Am not!" Morningglade snapped, then quickly changed the subject. "Do you think that we're gonna get an apprentice soon?" "I hope so! Maybe while Tundraclan is here we could get one of Slatepuddle's if they're still here when they are old enough." Cobaltsky said. "I hope Shadowchaser hurry's up with finding that cure." Morningglade said. She really missed that scairdy-cat. - Cobaltsky and Morningglade

Scorchkit padded up to the other cats and asked, “WHERE IS FLAMEKIT?!” Skyshadow mewed calmly, “We don’t know Scorchkit, but we will find her.” Scorchkti didn’t believe Skyshadow. “Oh Flamekit. Where are you?!” Suddenly, Scorchkit became angry and hissed at Rainsplash, “This is all your fault! If you just respected Flamekit and wasn’t mad at her she wouldn’t leave. This is all your fault. Flamekit shouldn’t have trusted you!” Skyshadow mewed quietly, “Now Scorchkit...” “No Skyshadow you don’t understand. I need her.” Scorchkit whipped away from the cats and yowled, “Flamekit where are you?!”- - Scorchkit (And Skyshadow)

Flamekit leaped in front of the bush, expecting an attack. But Flamekit just saw Scar sitting down mewing, “I have been waiting for you.” Flamekit asked’ “Why me?” Scar laughed. “Because you were a rogue and you were supposed to destroy me daughter.” Flamekit looked at Scar is surprise, “Your my mother? But how?” Scar spat, “Your father was a ginger cat called Fang. We became mates. When I had you, I wanted to train you by letting you survive by yourself for a while. But Fang disagreed. Before he could stop me, I ordered another rogue to kill him. And that is what happened. Then I waited for you and here you are, strong but small. You will need to training. You will be the ruler of the rogues and destroy the clans with me.” Flamekit was speechless. Why her? Was it really her destiny to rule with her mother and destroy the clans? No one liked her anyway (or so she thought). “I don’t know what to say. Can I think about it Scar?” Scar mewed, I will give you so time to think.” Scar stepped forward and growled, “And I expect the answer will be a yes! If you tell anyone of what I told you, I will kill your friends and you!” Scar lifted her paws and slashed Flamekit across the eyes. “Let that be a warning.” Scar disappeared, leaving Flamekit’s face bleeding. “I have to get to WillowClan. Flamekit pulled her dizzy body to the entrance of WillowClan. Flamekit gave a yowl of pain and fell into darkness. --Flamekit and Scar

“Did you hear that?”, Scorchkit asked. “It came from the entrance.” Skyshadow and Scorchkit sprinted to the entrance and saw Flamekit there, bleeding. “Oh Flamekit, you are ok. Skyshadow help me get her to Stormstreak." The two cats dragged her to the medicine cat den and laid her on a nest. Skyshadow pressed her muzzle into Flamekit’s fur and whispered, “Thanks you StarClan for bringing her back. Please my she live.” Scorchkit licked Flamekit’s scar on her face and mewed to her, “Flamekit, it is me Scorchkit. Please wake up.” Skyshadow yowled, “Stromstreak!”--Skyshadow and Scorchkit

Cobaltsky was coming in with Morningglade and their prey when he heard a loud yowl. He quickly dashed over to find Scorchkit leaning over Flamekit. Flamekit's face was smeared with blood. "Oh no!" He cried, nervous for the kit. "What happened? Is everything okay?" - Cobaltsky

Scorchkit looked up at Cobaltsky and mewed, "I don't know. Flamekit hasn't been able to talk. Stromstreak hasn't put any herbs on yet." Turing away from the tom, Scorchkit mewed, "StarClan please may she live!"--Scorchkit

Cobaltsky was very unprepared for this situation. He closed his eyes trying to remember what Stormstreak had told him, during his medicine cat craze as a kit. "Marigold!" He exclaimed suddenly. "Marigold to stop infection! And, cobwebs for bleeding!" Dashing to the medicine den he grabbed marigold and noticed the lack of cobwebs. Running back, he ordered Skyshadow, "Chew this into a pulp and smear it on her cuts." He turned to Scorchkit. "Come with me. We're going to look for cobwebs. If we don't hurry it will be too late." - Cobaltsky

Muddyfang mumbled some bitter curse underneath his breath when he was ordered by some cat to do...er, some thing. With the recent stressful events, from practically drowning to having to come face-to-face with Smokestorm, he wanted to do nothing but sleep. With an irritable twitch of his chocolate tail, the warrior rested his head on his paws and ignored whoever had called him to instead get some shut-eye. Sleep was vital- cats died with out it. So...he was going to get his well-deserved nap in. -- Muddyfang

The pale apprentice was still a little shaken up and not quite her bold, social self. Not only was she without the mentor she could relate to in every way possible, but Ashpaw had...well, she almost *died*, and it was frankly terrifying to think about. The dappled feline had been struggling to sleep with the fear that the waters might come back and sweep her away, so she lightly dozed off while attempting to eat some breakfast. -- Ashpaw

He felt uncomfortable, being stuck between what appeared to be mates on the brink of ending it all. Was Salmontooth really that stubborn about giving up his pride and accepting help, so much that was he prepared to lose everything he had, including his own life? "Danita?" Shadowchaser nervously called to the ominously silent silver tabby as they distanced themselves from Salmontooth, who had left to go back to camp. "...I...Are you sure about this? Don't you want to go and...win him back?" The deputy knew nothing of romance and trying to "win the hearts" of others, but he did know that his mom once had a mate, and apprently, the two loved each other very very much. Didn't Salmontooth and Danita feel the same way?

Danita could clearly sense that the naive tom was inexperienced in the subject. "He made his choice, Shadowchaser...I don't think it's the right one, but I know Salmontooth better than anyone else. There's no changing his path...I can only hope that he can fight the sickness off himself." She spoke softly, which made it clear that she didn't want to discuss the topic any further. "We're almost to Outlook Rock." -- Danita, Salmontooth, Shadowchaser

Morningglade spotted Ashpaw by the fresh kill pile and padded over to her. "Hey there!" She meowed. "You're looking a little lonely. What's wrong?" Of course Morningglade knew that Ashpaw was without her mentor, and the Great Storm was still fresh in their memories. Ashpaw remained quiet for a minute. Morningglade nudged her. "C'mon. You can trust me." - Morningglade

Skyshadow nodded at the young tom and started to chew the bitter herbs. “I don’t know if he is right, but whatever it takes to save Flamekit.”--Skyshadow

Scorchkit looked at Colbatsky, not sure if he should trust the tom. “Ok. Whatever you say.” Scorchkit came back a few minutes later with a mouthful of cobwebs and growled, “There.” Before Colbatsky could say anything, Scorchkit muttered, “I will take this to Stormstreak.” Scorchkit padded in and mewed, “Here are some cobwebs. Please save Flamekit.”--Scorchkit

Stormstreak saw the small Scorchkit bringing herbs. “Thank you Scorchkit. I will try my best.” Turing to Skyshadow, Stormstreak asked, “Are the herbs ready?” Skyshadow nodded, fear in her eyes.” Stormstreak pushes the cobwebs over Flamekit’s bleeding face and put the chewed herbs on top. A few moments later, the kit quieted down and went to sleep. “Skyshadow, Flamekit will be ok.”--Stormstreak

Skyshadow looked at the medicine cat. “Oh thank you Stormstreak. You too Scorchkit and Colbatsky.” Skyshadow laid down next to the sleeping kit and prayed, “Thank you StarClan for letting Flamekit live.”--Skyshadow

“Flamekit oh Flamekit.” Scorchkit licked the ginger kit on her ears. Scorchkit laid a few distances away from the ginger kit, letting Skyshadow be with her adopted daughter. “Thank you StarClan, thank you! I will wait for you Flamekit, no matter how long it takes.”--Scorchkit

Cobaltsky sighed happily. Hopefully, he had chosen the right herbs. He sat next to Stormstreak. "Hey. Did I chose the right herbs? Is she going to live?" Cobaltsky couldn't have forgiven himself if marigold ended up killing her. - Cobaltsky

Stromstreak turned her head from Flamekit, Scorchkit and Skyshadow. “Colbatsky, Flamekit will live. Thank you for your help. I was collecting herbs.” Getting closer to the tom and whispered, “But I think you should stay away from Flamekit as long as Scorchkit is around.” Stromstreak purred and winked at Colbatsky.--Stormstreak

"Whaattt?" Cobaltsky asked, alarmed. "Does Scorchkit think I have a crush on Flamekit?" - Cobaltsky

Stromstreak purred. “I never said you had a crush on Flamekit." Stromstreak quietly mewed, "Scorchkit does......Scorchkt is in deeply in love with Flamekit. Scorchkit never leaves Flamekit’s side, no matter what unless he has to do a job. I don’t know how Flamekit feels or knows, but Scorchkit has shown it many times, from the moment he saw her. Look.” Stromstreak mewed to Scorchkit, “Scorchkit, I think you should leave Flamekit with Skyshadow for now. You can come back later.” Scorchkit looked up with fear for Flamekit but also suspicion of Colbatsky. “Very well Stromstreak.” Scorchkit padded out of the den, turning his head to look at Flamekit and then Colbatsky. Stormstreak whispered to the tom, “Scorchkit gets jealous if another tom speaks or is near Flamekit, but he doesn’t attack…. or at least not yet. I think you should be friends with Scorchkit. He should be an apprentice, but Mistystar isn’t here.” Nudging Colbatsky, Stromstreak mewed, “You might learn something new. Come on, his only friend is Flamekit……. sorry I mean love. Just make sure he doesn't claw your fur off.--Stormstreak

Ashpaw shifted awkwardly when Morningglade asked her about what was troubling her. "Well, I almost *died* in that storm. When I was trying to run away from the waters, I fell into this gushing river...Muddyfang saved me, but it's still terrifying to think that I may have not made it home." The snowy dappled she-cat admitted in a low tone of voice. -- Ashpaw

Dustykit seemed to be growing up fast, and it wouldn't be much longer that he spent time roaming in the nursery (or as of right now, the make-shift nursery). However, he still had that gullible kit-like innocence to him, a trait that he'd probably never grow out of. Perhaps it was for the better? The flame point kitten stretched out as he began to wake up from his afternoon nap. When would they be going back to camp? Would there be fish everywhere from the water? -- Dustykit

“now, you are renamed Ripplepool, the medicine cat of WillowClan.” Willowstar pressed her muzzle onto his head. He then blanked and saw nothing, no stars, no forest, just black, and then. A spotlight, he looked over, worried. It—it was, some strange ginger she-cat? he growled. Then he saw the face and woke up, then found himself rolling off of the branch. With a yowl Spiderfang leaped to his paws and Ripplepool dug his fore claws into the rough bark, saving himself from the fall—well, what was left of it; his legs were dangling off and he was gripping hard, swaying his body close to the branch and climbing back up as his hind-paw’s had touched the bark. “Ripplepaw! what happened?” Spiderfang hissed. Ripplepool touched the ground and sighed, his heart still racing, “I don’t know, but I think StarClan made me a full medicine cat? My name’s Ripplepool now.” Spiderfang dipped his head. “Well, Ripplepool. We should return to the clans, they might be awaiting our return.” Ripplepool nodded and they both left, the image of the ginger she-cats face, still in his mind.—**Ripplepool**

Rainsplash looked at Flamekit with a sad stare. Rainsplash wanted to tell Skyshadow and Stromstreak about Scar, but remembered her promise to Flamekit. “Ripplepaw! we’re where you?” Rainsplash hissed as her son approached. “Oh, um, It’s Ripplepool now, I was just wondering if I could talk to Stormstreak.” He looked as Rainsplash nodded. “Alone.” He added, making her fake a grin. She wanted some time with her kin, they barely knew her. She needed to find a cat worthy of her who’d take care of her. “Erm, sure!” She smiled. Then looked to Skyshadow, “I'm gonna patrol. Heh, the clans need food! Am I right!” She padded away, head low, then she found herself at the border of clan territory. Suddenly being pinned to the ground by a tall oriental tom, his fur was scarred and he looked vicious, and then she narrowed her eyes, ready to do a spin assault, one move she was working on most of her life.—**Rainsplash**

((As usual, I only read Minnowsplash's roleplay and therefore have no idea what happened. WONDERFUL I am so lazy why am I like this)) -Hawk

"W-what...? Oh!" Mistystar leaped to her feet. "What happened?" With a jolt, the past few hours came rushing back. *The kit!* Mistystar's pelt ruffled and she glanced down. She relaxed at the sight of the small kit sleeping. She looked back up and turned her blue gaze on the flame point ((that's his coloring right?)) tabby that had rescued them from the ocean. She recognized the pelt of the SeaClan deputy, Minnowsplash. -Misty

"You scared away my fish after floating down the river, sharkbait." The SeaClan deputy repeated in a stern tone, although he noted that this she-cat looked...somewhat familiar. As if he'd seen her at a Gathering or something. "You better have a good excuse for trespassing in SeaClan territory, even if said excuse is 'drowning'. We aren't as tolerant of outsiders since the outbreak." -- Minnowsplash

((Note: please don't find them yet)) With the cure, and his history, since discovered, Shadowchaser was slowly making his way across the territory with Danita on his heels. She wasn't particularly pleased to be dragged around to the other clans, despite her silence. He could practically feel the tension sparking off her silvered pelt. "I...think we're almost there." The deputy mumbled between the densely-packed herbs held within his jaws, causing the silver tabby to send him a sharp glare. "You *think?* What do you mean 'think'?" Danita asked with edge in her tone. "I mean...the forest, it doesn't look the same anymore. There's mud and plants in the trees, like a big wave came crashing through." -- Danita & Shadowchaser

"Do you think I *tried* to drown? Well, thanks for rescuing me, but I have to go. Some people have *three Clans* to run!" Mistystar spun around and stalked towards the border. "Wait!" Minnowsplash caught up to her. She stopped, fuming. *Arrogant furball!* "What?!" She hissed. "Three Clans? What?" "StormClan, TundraClan, and WillowClan are all in my camp. They all have the plague. And now the camp was destroyed. I don't know what they'll do..." Mistystar's voice faltered. *What are they doing?* "You must be Mistystar! Well, I'm Minnowsplash." "Yeah. Nice to meet you," Mistystar said.

Rainsplah snarled as another cat appeared behind the tom. “Who are you!” She struggled to break free of his grip. “Oh? Me? I’m Stalker.” The tom hissed softly, amusement in his eyes. “Stalker! Remember the assignment! We weren’t to get seen Dumpster-breath!” The ginger she-cat hissed.—**Rainsplash**

Stromstreak turned her gaze to the apprentice. Sormstreak mewed soothingly, "Skyshadow, Flamekit will be ok. I will be back soon." Stormstreak mewed to Ripplepool, "What is it?"--Stormstreak

“Stormstreak, StarClan Gabe me my medicine cat name, Ripplepool. And, but, I have a growing fear we aren't safe with this kit around, or, maybe this one, I had an odd vision about a ginger kit. But scars covered her top to bottom! It was horrible.....” Ripplepool sighed. “The forest’s in danger too! StarClan told me it would never be revived, and as the clan might move to the other side of the mountain, Rainsplash still hasn’t returned!” The sudden image of his mother popped into his mind. Was she okay? She looked older somehow.... more, proud and leaderly? she doesn’t even have an apprentice yet. But. He had faith in her. And then he sighed. “What should we do?”—Ripplepool

((Ok I can roleplay Stormstreak)) -hawk

((Thanks for rping while i was very lazy and only rping misty, rowan))

"I... I don't know..." Stormstreak sighed. The three Clans were in dissaray. TundraClan and WillowClan, after the destruction of their camp, moved to StormClan's camp. "Maybe-" With a jolt, Stormstreak jerked off, crumpling to the floor. "Stormstreak?!" The elderly gray she-cat heard Ripplepool's mew, but it sounded miles away. Stormstreak was having a vision...

Rainsplash was battling a tall, oriental tom who had the gray tabby point pinned. Stormstreak tried desperately to see the surrounding area. *CaveClan border!* Rainsplash had gone there to hunt!

Stormstreak's vision cleared. She was back with Ripplepool, who was looking down at her in concern. Stormstreak gasped. "R-Rainpool! She's in danger! We have to help her!" -Storm

"Then at least allow me to escort you back to camp. Besides, you don't know the lay of SeaClan's land." Minnowsplash decided in an almost humble tone. -- Minnowsplash

*I knew it, he's just insane. He's just leading me on some dumb, wild quest.* Danita thought to herself hopelessly, watching as Shadowchaser tried to get his bearings straight and locate where he was. "We have to be on the WillowClan border. Camp has to be this way- c'mon!" Shadowchaser called over his shoulder to the silver tabby before he went rushing through the muddy, water-logged terrain. She winced and followed after the tom until they came across what used to be WillowClan's territory: a pond, in essence. It was completely flooded...his home was gone. -- Shadowchaser & Danita

Was Stormstreak listening to him? Ripplepool felt a little hurt, but then nodded, “where is she?!” He spat in alarm, finally outing Stormstreak’s words to mind.—**Ripplepool**

Rainsplash rolled her eyes, “why am I here again?” She asked, still pinned. “Eh, suits us, I honestly have no idea..... unless.” He looked to the ginger she-cat. “No. No. And more NOT GONNA HAPPEN.” Rainsplash was confused. “Could I get this strait? You're here for what now?” Stalker looked back to her and let her up. “Oh! Erm, well, see, we are just scouting about our business.” He glanced to the ginger she-cat. “And we’re just doing so....” he rolled his eyes and turned away. Rainsplash couldn’t help but to have amusement spark in her eyes. “I’m Rainsplash.” She meowed with a grin. “Oh, I forgot! This is Cardinal.” Stalker hissed. Then he narrowed his eyes at Rainsplash. 9you believe in StarClan don’t you,” he whisked lowly. “Erm...” she didn’t know what to do, first acting as a nice Kittypet, then a vicious rogue? He grunted. “I’d suggest that they’ve abandoned you, if you know any better, you’d be a smart she-cat indeed. This “StarClan” messes with the cat mind, whta have they ever done to you?” He then unsheathed his claws. And Cardinal sank her teeth into Rainsplash’s pelt, starting a fight Rainsplash wasn’t prepared for.—**Rainsplash**

“Mapleblaze! Wake up!” The stupid mousy voice echoed. She flipped her eyelids open with a hurry and growled with spiked fur. “What DO you WANT!” She snapped. Ripplepaw flinched alway, “Erm, Eh, well, we want a young warrior like you scout around the um, CaveClan? Border.” He looked to his mentor who followed. “No.” Mapleblaze answered, then swayed by the elderly medicine cat. “WHAT!” Mapleblaze snapped.—**Mapleblaze**

Skyshadow exclaimed, “What! Flamekit what happened? How did you get hurt. Are you saying Flamekit is dangerous?” Flamekit, is there something we should know?” --Skyshadow

Flamekit jerked up her head. Flamekit spat at Ripplepool, “Are you saying I am dangerous? I can just leave. You won’t have to see me agin anyway. I can actually leave right now.” Skyshadow mewed softly, “Ripplepool never said you were the danger. It could be another ginger kit. You don’t need to leave. We will find what this sigh means. And we won’t tell the clan.” Flamekit growled, “It really doesn’t matter. I can leave. Every body thinks I am a badger anyway. Skyshadow mewed firmly, “You don’t  need to leave. You will stay here and we will try to fix the problem. Flamekit mewed hastily, “Stormstreak I don’t need any medicine. Nothing bad happened. I just fell and got scratched by some thorns. That is all. Actually I feel better now. Thanks Stormstreak. I am going to get some air.” ” Before they could stop her, Flamekit ran out of the medicine cat den, hoping that the Rainsplash wouldn’t give the secret away. Flamekit didn’t want to be in that den anymore.--Skyshadow and Flamekit

Scorchkit saw Flamekit run towards the entrance. Scorchkit ran to her and asked, “Flamekit what happened in there?! Did Colbatsky do something?! Do you want me to attack him?!” Flamekit whipped around and growled, “Stay away from me Scorchkit!”Scorchkit looked at Flamekit is surprise. “Flamekit what happened!? Your face is still bleeding!” Flamekit cried, “Scorchkit! It doesn’t matter. Ripplepool says I am danger, according to StarClan. They are thinking that I should leave. What have I done?!” Flamekit ran out of camp. Scorchkit ran after her. Scorchkit yowled, “Flamekit stop! Let me talk to you!” Flamekit didn’t stop and out ran Scorchkit. Scorchkit stopped to think. “Flamekit didn’t go the way to her usual bush, so she can’t be there. I can follow her scent and find where she is hiding . Scorchkit opened his mount to taste the air and smelled the sweet scent of the ginger kit. Scorchkit padded along u til he came to . Scorchkit a small tree. where she could hide. Flamekit sat down on the branch. “Will I go back to the clan. Should I join Scar?” Scorchkit walked under the tree and mewed, “Flamekit, I know you are there.” Scorchkit could hear Flamekit and felt that she was troubled. Scorchkit climbed up the tree and sat down beside Flamekit. “Do you want to tell me what happened? I am here for you Flamekit, I am your friend.” Flamekit turned her greenish amber gaze toward him and mewed, “You promise not to tell the clan?” Scorchkit sat closer to her ginger she-cat and mewed, “Why would I tell the clan? Don’t worry Flamekit, I won’t tell, whatever the problem is.” Flamekit looked around as if she was afraid that someone was near. Finally, Flamekit took a deep breath and mewed, “I had a feeling that Scar was there agin at the bush, so I went to see if she was there. When I arrived, she sat there as if she was expecting me. Scar told me that she was........ my mother and I was supposed to destroy her.” Flamekit paused. Scorchkti had a surprise look, but shook it away and said, “Oh I am sorry Flamekit. I know you didn’t expect that. Keep going.” Flamekit took a deep breath before continuing, “She said my father, Fang, was killed. At the beginning, they were in love and became mates. When I was born, Scar wanted me to train to survive on my own and said I would later come back. Fang disagreed with her and she ordered him to be killed. Later, Scar heard that a ginger kit was born in a Clan was could be their hero from Scar. She found me and decided to rule the clans, loners, Kittypet a and rogues with me. Scar offered to train me and that I would rule be her, never being judge or something. Scar said that she would give me a few days to think of the offer and said the answer better be a yes. Scar threatened me that is I told anyone about this, she would kill me friends and me.” Turing her head to Scorchkit, Flamekit mewed, “I don’t know what to do! The Clan hates me but I don’t know if I want to rule with her. What should I do?” Scorchkit  hesitated, then said, “Flamekit, there are some cats that love you. I think you should stay, but I will give you time to think. Ok?” Flamekit looked at Scorchkit, a little more relaxed. “Thanks Scorchkit. I will.” Scorchkit licked Flamekit on the ears and then padded down the tree. “I will see you at camp. Call me if there is any trouble.” Scorchkit padded back to camp and sat down where he could see his love pade into camp.--Scorchkit and Flamekit

Flamekit watched Scorchkit padded away towards camp. “Is Scorchkit right? Does the Clan really care about me?” Flamekit shook her head. “Stop being silly.” Flamekit stretches and climbed down the tree. Flamekit began to walk towards camp, only to her quiet paw steps behind her. Flamekit whipped around and heard, “I hope you have made your decision.” Scar padded out of a bush. “I am glad I gave you a fine scar. What is your decision?” Flamekit hadn’t had time to think of the offer since she had been in the medicine cat den. Scar mewed, “I can see that you haven’t really thought of it.” Flamekit was startled and confessed, “No I really haven’t.” Flamekit had her head bowed, thinking this was where she would die. But instead, Flamekit felt Scar sit beside her. Scar’s fur felt rough and wet with blood. Scar hissed, “Do you really want to be with those filthy and stupid Clan cats?! If you join me, you will rule by me and kill who you want. You won’t have to listen to anybody and no one will ever be able to boss you, that is, except for me. You can take what you want and kill whoever. And you are supposed to be, what do you call them, an apprentice right? Well, they are trying to hold you back. Don’t you want that, to be powerful, instead of living with those weak Clan cats?” Flamekit felt a feeling grow in her body. It felt dark and strong, but comforted her. Thousands of voices whispered in her head, “Flamekit, you know what you want. Be what you are meant to be.” Flamekit felt as if she wanted this dark feeling in her forever. Flamekit forgot everything Scorchkit had said. Flamekit snarled and turned her face to Scar. “I accept your offer. Those Clan cats think I am a trouble and are thinking of kicking me out! But not anymore! I will fight with you until he are the most powerful cats of all!” Scar scowled and mewed, “Yes! You. And me will rule together. But you will not be called Flamekit or whatever. You will be called Flame, the one who brings everything in its path. You will stay with that Clan and find their weakness so we can attack when they are cornered.” Flamekit nodded. “Thank you Scar for treating me right.” Scar nodded and wrapped her tail around Flamekit. “Flame, my daughter, we will show all we are the rulers! I will meet here every night to train you. When the time comes, we attack!” Scar nodded and padded away, disappearing. Flamekit still felt the dark feeling. “No one will every underestimate me again!” --Flamekit and Scar

Shadowchaser looked absolutely lost as he stared at the remains of camp, watching as pieces of dens floated above the murky water. There was still a light patter of rain, but nothing too concerning, especially considering that the tom had lost his clan. *But I found the herb...!* Danita slowly approached his side, her paw steps muted by the thick mud. "I'm sure they're not dead, Shadowchaser. Let's try searching the surrounding areas? Maybe we'll find a tuft of hair, or something that'll actually hold a scent?" The silver tabby recommended, even though she had her own doubts. -- Shadowchaser & Danita

Ripplepool has had the same dream for moons. The kit was either getting older and younger and every time he asked why, he’d be attacked by a she-cat with scars, and or clawed up by an oriental tom. He sighed in his moss bed and gasped as he saw the medicines, not much more than some borage and dock root. He knew what he was to do. “I’ll be back by sun fall, if not sooner.” He meowed to Stormstreak, it was only Dawn, and the clans finally made it to the empty forest behind the CaveClan and StormClan mountains, and he was tired, but needed to get away and take a breath, Rainsplash hasn’t been found in moons, and Dewshine has the plague and is suffering! He needed to leave, but didnt realize he was running at full speed through the forest. He knew what he wanted to do. He wanted to go back and look for his mother, ask about his father, and get back to the old camp for herbs. That’s the first place he’d go, he needed to see if any herbs survived. So he sprinted and found himself up near the side of the mountains and walked back the way the clans came, back into the sick forest of bodies and flooded memories with faded dreams.—**Ripplepool**

Flamekit padded into camp, all the cats looking at her. Flamekit saw Ripplepool looking at her, a emotion she could read. “It doesn’t matter now. I will train with Scar and become powerful! Ripplepool wants me to be dangerous, then I will grant his wish.” Flamekit’s thoughts were interrupted by Scorchkit. “Flamekit you are ok! I am so glad you are back!” Getting closer to Flamekit, Scorchkit whispered, “Did Scar appear? Did she cause any trouble?” Flamekit felt the dark feeling fade away and sadness flooded in. How could she rule with Scar and still be friends with Scorchkit? Flamekit thought, “You will figure something out. Maybe Scorchkit wants to rule with me too.” Flamekit whispered back, “No. Scar didn’t appear. I actually think she is gone.” Scorchkit searched Flamekit’s mind for a lie, but only found a wall. Scorchkit shrugged, “Well at least you are better. I can’t wait for you  and me to train together!" Scorchkit grew sad and mewed, “You are staying, right?” Flamekit stood beside Scorchkit, the feeling of her fur soothing Scorchkit. “Yes Scorchkit. I am staying. Don’t worry.” Scorchkit breathed in Flamekit’s sweet scent and mewed, “Come on. Let’s go to our bush.” Flamekit padded with Scorchkit by her side. Flamekit thoughts were troubled. Did she make the right choice in training with Scar? Flamekit took a deep breath. “Oh well.”--Scorchkit and Flamekit

Skyshadow saw Flamekit in the hollow with Scorchkit. “Thank you StarClan for bringing her back!” Skyshadow suddenly felt fear and anger grow inside her. Ripplepool’s dream will soon spread in the Clan, maybe even to the other Clans! If this happened, Flamekit will be judge. “If they judge Flamekit, I will give them scratches to think of and leave!” Skyshadow turned to Stormstreak, Ripplepool and Colbatsky, who was still there. Skyshadow growled, “I know you had the dream, but maybe they are talking about a future ginger cat. Even if I am wrong, we will not tell the Clan yet until Mistystar or Shadowchaser have come back. Then we will all talk. But if any of the cats are hiding Flamekit, we will leave!” Skyshadow glared at the cats, claws unsheathed and fur bristling. “Understood?!” Skyshadow saw that all the cats nodded, afraid at the sight of Skyshadow’s anger. Skyshadow straitened yo and let her fur lie flat. “You all better keep you promise!” Skyshadow whirled around and padded out of the den.--Skyshadow

"Yeah, let's try to find them." The peppered deputy agreed with Danita in a soft voice, turning away from WillowClan's demolished camp to follow the silver tabby she-cat. She seemed to be a pretty excellent tracker, considering that she caught them lunch earlier and could track it down in a matter of seconds. Shadowchaser was decent at tracking, but he didn't want to get in the loner's way. So he walked behind Danita at a leisurely pace with his eyes peeled and ears perked, while the she-cat used her taste buds and nose to hopefully track down whatever remained of Shadowchaser's clan. -- Shadowchaser & Danita

Drama seemed to be all around Dustykit and enclosing on the camp like a horrible storm, yet the naive kitten turned a cold shoulder to it all. He had better things to do, such as finding interesting trinkets among the wash that had been left behind by the flashflood. Dustykit wasn't successful in finding that much, considering that things were still muddy and too dangerous for him to wade into alone, but he was doing his best. He'd actually found a pretty blue eggshell that he was quite proud of- he planned on decorating his nest with it. At least, whenever he became an apprentice. It'd be soon, right? But...could cats without claws be big and brave warriors? What would they do with him? -- Dustykit

(Ripplepool is t in camp, he’s herb hunting) suddenly Ripplepool found himself squeezing into the old medicine cats den, all flooded and cold, most of the herbs washed away, but he grabbed all he could, cracking twigs under his paws, not suspecting any other cats to see him.—**Ripplepool**

Rainsplash rolled her eyes. “And what are you doing now?” The oriental tom grinned evilly. Capturing you. Is it working?” Well, she was surrounded and wounded somehow. “Whatever.” She growled. Cardinal pushed her side. “I know I know! Goodness!” Rainsplash spat. As she was pushed into the unknown.—**rainsplash**

Danita had said something about catching a scent once they were what felt like miles out of WillowClan's original territory, and as they continued to walk along, the scent got stronger. Finally, the silver tabby paused in her tracks, turning to Shadowchaser and addressing him surprisingly stoicly. "This is it, your clan is right ahead of us, Shadowchaser. Good luck." She gave him a firm nod, but the deputy jumped in her way before she could leave.

"Wait, Danita...." He trailed off, furrowing his brows in the process before he finally gazed into her eyes with his own optics narrowed. "...I know you don't like clans, but please, give WillowClan a chance. I can't thank you enough for helping me, so this is how I want to help you. I-...you know you don't have much to go back to." Shadowchaser began with a small frown, referring to the fact that Salmontooth was on the brink of death, while also essentially breaking up with Danita. "Please join WillowClan. I promise I'll make them respect you...nobody thought I'd be a hero, and you helped me become that. We can do this, together. We've already proved that."

She pondered over his offer. "...Alright, Shadowchaser. I'll give them a chance."

So together, the pair of drifters entered WillowClan's make-shift camp, and a cry split into the air.

***"Shadowchaser is back with the cure!"*** -- Shadowchaser & Danita

Ripplepool had returned earlier and was so happy. Shadow chasers back? Finally! He ran up to the great tom, then noticed some scars? “Shadowchaser! Welcome home! You’ve gotten the cure right? We can stop the death and destruction? I can apply it to the cats who are sick! Just point me to the herbs!” He smiled at the huge tom, “oh! And my name is Ripplepool now, the full medicine cat of WillowClan, I guess.” *Wait, so if I’m a full Medicine cat... shouldn’t Stormstreak retire? She is showing her age......* he shook the thought. *Be happier! He’s found the cure!* “Erm, Shadowchaser? Whos *that*?” he looked towards Danita**—Ripplepool**

Irismoon awoke, breaths shallow and head to the snow, back in camp was fine, we’ll, besides the corpses, she limped up, “what...” the Clan scent was stale and the bodies been buried. The clan had thought she where dead! She needed to find them! She hopped to her paws and realized her wounds had vanished and healed. “Huh. Convenient.” She raised a brown and started to follow the stale trail, but she found the scent passing the snow border, and she wondered. “Did they leave the forest?” But she decided to follow the trail—**Irismoon**
