RockClan/Roleplay/Archive 42

Sagenose paced around. ---- Leafwind went back to Vinefur. He looked at Pepper. "I know we didn't save him, but thank you for warning us... You can hunt on our land as our thanks..." he mewed mournfully and picked Vinefur off the ground and turned to take him back to camp. ---- Waterstar's patrol returned. Waterstar sat down to lick some scratches. ---- Nightpaw glanced worriedly at Creekfrost. He knew his father was powerful but he'd never really seen him *almost* kill before, and Gingersnap could still be dead. ---- Creekfrost settled onto his hunches and inspected a cut on his paw. Gingersnap had done that... he felt guilty for hurting the queen, he knew he shouldn't but... *Ashstorm* 16:17, March 24, 2016 (UTC)

"Thanks.." Pepper said, surprised. "But its...fine...you deserve to have your own land." he slowly wandered around RockClan's camp, wondering what was next. *You idoit, you had the chance of your life right there!* he thought. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike in *The Haunted Warrior* 16:19, March 24, 2016 (UTC)

Ashkit saw Pepper. He hopped over to him. "Hi!" ---- "Vinefur is dead," Leafwind annouced to the Clan. *Ashstorm* 16:31, March 24, 2016 (UTC)

Pepper took a step back. *I help* one *time and find myself talking to everyone....* "Hello...." Pepper mewed. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 16:33, March 24, 2016 (UTC)

"My names Ashkit! my brothers dying, I think he is anyway. So are you joining the Clan? that'd be awesome!" *Ashstorm* 16:34, March 24, 2016 (UTC)

*Me? Join the Clans? Like I would ever do that....* "No, I just came to warn the Clans about something." Pepper said. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 16:37, March 24, 2016 (UTC)

"Oh, oh well," Ashkit squeaked. "Have you met the cats yet?" he asked. *Ashstorm* 16:39, March 24, 2016 (UTC)

Pepper thought aboout it, then added spitefully, "Sure, they wanted to kill me." I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 16:45, March 24, 2016 (UTC)

"Of course they didn't!" Ashkit mewed. "You should met Blizzardheart! shes really nice, OH! Or my mom! she's the kindest cat ever!" *Ashstorm* 16:47, March 24, 2016 (UTC)

Pepper paused. "I met a kit or apprentice with black fur, another apprentice, that cat Creekfrost, and the leader. ANd.....I don't know, nohting ended up to well". 16:49, March 24, 2016 (UTC)

"Oh, they are all nice! besides Waterstar, she's been grumpy lately!" Ashkit squeaked. *Ashstorm*

Heatherpaw poked her head out of the apprentices' den to see her brother. *No.* She was in disbelief. *No, that can't be him...!* ---- Slatrestream was licking his scratches. ---- Frozenwind's ears pricked in interest. --look me in the eye 20:21, March 24, 2016 (UTC)

Pepper nodded. "See you around." He mumbled, before spotting Heatherpaw. *Her?* What was she doing here? He rolled his eyes, were all his siblings going to be brainwashed by the stupid Clans and their stupid camps? I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 17:32, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

"Oh." Ashkit mewed in disappointment. "See ya..." he looked around boredly. ---- Nightpaw spotted Pepper. "Are you the loner who warned us about Vinefur?" *Ashstorm* 19:21, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

Pepper nodded. *Are you the apprentie who wanted to attack me?* he thought. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 19:58, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

Nightpaw looked him up and down, flicked an ear and sat back. "You smell like Wolfstar's kits." *Ashstorm* 20:02, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

"Who is Wolfstar?" Pepper asked calmly. *And more importently, why do I care?* I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 20:04, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

"Wolfstar used to be our leader, leader before Stormstar, who was leader before Waterstar," Nightpaw meowed. *Ashstorm* 20:06, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

Pepper nodded. Then he remembered something. "My mom, what I remember of her, was a gray-blue she-cat. Her name was River....or Riverpaw....something like that." *If I have Clan blood....then....* I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 20:08, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

"Riverpaw?" Creekfrost, who was sitting not that far away heard the name. "Riverpaw's your mother?" *Ashstorm* 20:09, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

Annoyed, Pepper looked at Creekfrost. He remembered the tom who wanted to kill him. "Sure," he said. "Broadly speaking."

Creekfrost, who had all but forgotten his fight with Pepper carried on. "Riverpaw is Wolfstar's daughter, I didn't know she was still alive." *Ashstorm* 20:13, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

"She could be." Said Pepper. "She left one day, said she would return, but she never did." 20:14, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

"Maybe she lost your scent and couldn't find you? I know Riverpaw left RockClan, but I don't think she'd leave her kits." *Ashstorm* 20:15, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

Pepper shurgged. "She knew the way back like anything, I suppose she got runnover on the Thunderpath, or got caught by twolegs." Pepper mewed. 20:16, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

"That's kind of mean," Nightpaw muttered to himself. "Anyway, if you are Riverpaw's kit, and if Morningwing did kill Vinefur, your related to a murderer, I guess I see where you got your personailty from, too." Nightpaw mewed. *Ashstorm* 20:18, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

Pepper stiffened. "If you are saying I would murder someone...." he hissed, in warning. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 20:20, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

"I'm not, I'm just *saying*." Nightpaw huffed. He closed his blue eye and opened the amber one wide and made a thoughtful "hmmmm". *Ashstorm* 20:22, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

"What?" Pepper said, madly. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 20:23, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

"I'm THINKING," Nightpaw mewed and closed both of his eyes tightly. "I've got it! I'm going to find Riverpaw!" he mewed and began to head for the entrance. *Ashstorm* 20:24, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

Pepper paused, *Even if this loony apprentice thinks he could find Riverpaw, he is wrong. Riverpaw is never coming back.* I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 20:26, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

Nightpaw kept hopping to leave their land. Creekfrost followed him. "Nightpaw, stop." he meowed, rolling his eyes. *Ashstorm* 20:28, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

Pepper hissed to himself, he wandered near his bordor. *My services are no longer needed here....* he stopped, surpirsed at what he saw. "What are you doing here?" He hissed. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 20:30, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

"But I want to find a loner with my nose!" Nightpaw whined. "There's no point, Nightpaw, come on." *Ashstorm* 20:31, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

"Rusty?" said Riverpaw--for it was Riverpaw, who had fought and fought and at last come home--"It's Pepper now, don't call me the name you gave me, I am nothing like you!" Pepper snapped. 20:37, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

"Fine..." Nightpaw muttered madly. *Ashstorm* 20:40, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

"I was trapped by twolegs." said Riverpaw. "I knew you wouldn't be where I left, so I tracked you here." -----"I stayed longer." Mewed Pepper. He butted his head into Riverpaw. "Don't ever me again." he mewed. *Why do I forgive her? After what she did to me?* I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 20:42, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

Creekfrost led Nightpaw back to camp. *Ashstorm* 20:43, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

(I have to go) "I won't" Mewed Riverpaw. "Where are your siblings?" Pepper shrugged. "Cinnamon is here, as bossy and annoying as anything." he mewed, before standing next to Riverpaw, kindly. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 20:45, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

(bye) Leafwind talked with Waterstar about warning StormClan about Morningwing. *Ashstorm* 20:46, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

Minnow picked up Pepper's scent. *Hm.* ---- Heatherpaw watched her brother leave camp. ---- Frozenwind licked his paw. --look me in the eye 07:10, March 26, 2016 (UTC)

Pepper trailed back into RockClan camp. *What am I doing here? I could be somewhere useful...* 14:02, March 26, 2016 (UTC)

"Hi, what're you doing back here?" Nightpaw asked. *Ashstorm* 14:06, March 26, 2016 (UTC)

"I got distracted, I am leaving now." Pepper mewed, holding back a hiss. 14:09, March 26, 2016 (UTC)

"Can I take you to the border?" Nightpaw asked excitedly. *Ashstorm* 15:04, March 27, 2016 (UTC)

Pepper nodded, but worried what Nightpaw might do. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 16:33, March 27, 2016 (UTC)

"I wanted to come with you to say sorry," Nightpaw mewed. *Ashstorm* 21:45, March 27, 2016 (UTC)

Pepper blinked. He expected that Nightpaw might try to kill him once they were alone, or maybe wanted to yell at him for yowling at Creekfrost moons ago, perhaps insult him in such ways he would never do with the Clan watching, or maybe he just wanted to look at the bordor, or perhaps try to figure out how he knew about the murder, maybe even accuse him of being invloved with the murder of Vinefur, but--not to say sorry. He stared at Nightpaw, at a loss for words. "You have no reason to be sorry." He mumbled, in more of a whisper. He ran to the woods before Nightpaw could speak. Pepper didn't regret his actions...he felt himself in the right for yowling at Waterstar and Creekfrost, yet he couldn't help feeling that maybe he had, in some ways, started the fight. *The Clans are still selfish and greedy,* he thought, *but maybe I am no different* I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 22:32, March 27, 2016 (UTC)

Nightpaw watched Pepper. He went back to camp, looking for his father. He found Creekfrost, who looked dead in his nest. Nightpaw blinked. He left his father and decided to try and find someone to talk to. *Ashstorm* 22:37, March 27, 2016 (UTC)

Frecklefur's ear flicked as she saw her apprentice trudge away from his father's nest. *Poor Creekfrost... they deserved it though, trespassing on our territory.* "Oi! Nightpaw!" she exclaimed. "Get over her and let's discuss your moves during the battle." ~Ging

"Ugh.." Nightpaw huffed, rolling his eyes and hopping over to Frecklefur. "I think I did pretty awesome." *Ashstorm* 22:58, March 27, 2016 (UTC)

Frecklefur raised an eyebrow. "Well, considering I told you to do nothing, you failed. Second of all, what size cat did you fight?" ~Ging

"Probably about my size... wait... hey! I *failed?"* Nightpaw mewed in dismay. *Ashstorm* 23:30, March 27, 2016 (UTC)

Autumnpaw walked over to Waterstar. "W-who w-w-w-will b-be-become m-my m-menter n-now t-t-that V-Vinefur's d-d-d-d-d-d-dead?" he asked. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 23:40, March 27, 2016 (UTC)

Waterstar blinked. "I'm not sure what we'll do. For now we'll wait. The gatherings in a few days, maybe we can talk to the other medicine cats about it." she mewed. *Ashstorm* 23:42, March 27, 2016 (UTC)

Autumnpaw nodded, *Poor Vinefur....* he thought.------Riverpaw walked in behind Autumnpaw. 23:44, March 27, 2016 (UTC)

Ashkit wondered around. *Ashstorm*

"Waterstar?" Riverpaw mewed.--------Autumnpaw, because he was deaf, had no idea Riverpaw was in the den. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 00:00, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

(i don't remember if waterstar met riverpaw or not, but if she did, let's say water just forgot what she looked like er something) Waterstar lifted her head from looking at the ground and saw Riverpaw. "Who are you?" *Ashstorm* 00:03, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

(k) "Riverpaw." River said, dumbfounded. "Wolfstar and Dewbramble's kit? The sister of Duskpaw and Morningpaw?" I am    forever  *haunted*by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike

"Oh... " Waterstar mewed thoughtfully. "I thought you died?" *Ashstorm* 00:06, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

"No," Riverpaw sighed, wondering how many times she would get that. "I ran away." I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 00:07, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

"Pleased to meet you. Have you come to rejoin, or no?" Waterstar asked. *Ashstorm* 00:09, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

"Rejoin." Said Riverpaw. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 00:10, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

"Good, things have changed since you left, the only cats who were around when you left who are still around now are Runningstrike and Slatestream, oh, and I came back to life along with Creekfrost, hard to explan, let's go see the clan!" Waterstar mewed, walking out of the den. *Ashstorm* 00:13, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

Riverpaw, somewhat confused, followed Waterstar. Autumnpaw turned, around and spotted Riverpaw. He screamed, surprised, and ran off. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 00:14, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

"All cats gather!" Waterstar mewed. When the Clan was together, she began. "Riverpaw has come back to us and is rejoining as a warrior. Would you like a warrior name?" *Ashstorm* 00:16, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

Riverpaw nodded. Autumnpaw, having no idea there was a warrior thing going on, hid in the medicine cat's den. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 00:17, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

Ashkit looked at Autumnpaw's den excitedly. ---- "Riverpaw, you will be known as Riverwish, RockClan welcomes you back as a full warrior," Waterstar meowed. *Ashstorm* 00:21, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

Autumnpaw sniffed the air, he smelled Ashkit, and turned to see him. "H--he-hello." He mumbled. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 00:22, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

"Hi!" Ashkit mewed. *Ashstorm* 00:41, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

Frecklefur chucked and tapped Nightpaw lightly on the shoulder. "You're fine," she promised. "Just keep it in mind for the future... and yes, I am glad you attacked an apprentice and restrained yourself from attacking Waterstar." She paused cheekily. "I wouldn't want to lose my first apprentice on his first battle." ~Ging

Pepper waited, on the RockClan bordor. *Why am I here? I hate the stupid Clans!* I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 01:15, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

"Oh, thanks! I will!" Nightpaw mewed, suddenly gleeful again. *Ashstorm* 03:12, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

Autumnpaw hoped that whatever Ashkit wanted would not involve going outside; it was crowded outside with the bright light of the sun--to of the things that scared Autumnpaw the most. It was emty and dark in the medicine cat's den, he wanted to stay there, no matter what. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 04:27, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

Heatherpaw's tail flicked in interest. ---- Slatestream pricked his ears. --look me in the eye 07:43, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

Ashkit just stood there, smiling and panting with happy eyes. ---- Waterstar ended the meeting and went to sit by herself with a finch at her paws. *Ashstorm* 12:54, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstrike walked around. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 13:50, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

(this is a good time for coral to come along) Rat, Snap, and Coral were stalking through the grass. "That stupid tabby really killed the mange-ridden one! they only have an apprentice, not a fully trained," Rat growled. *Ashstorm* 13:53, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

After hearing something, Runningstrike paused. *What was that?* he thought. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 14:20, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

Rat spotted a ginger and blue spotted tom. He let out a growl and pouced. Snap and Coral followed quickly. Lilythorn (talk) 16:30, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstrike heard that, he growled. 16:35, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

Rat landed on Runningstrike's back and dug his claws in. Lilythorn (talk) 16:36, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

Quickly, Runningstrike forced himself to roll over under Rat, he threw himself forward, slamming his head into Rat's head. He backed up, hissing wildly. 17:24, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

Rat backed up, shaking his head to clear it. Blizzardheart heard the noise and ran over to join the fight. ---- Snap flew onto Blizzardheart.--- Coral stood, trying to figure out who to attack. Lilythorn (talk) 19:41, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstrike, angerly, attacked Rat, holding him in place "Stay *off* this territory!" He hissed. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 19:58, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

"Never!" Rat hissed. He tossed his head to Coral. "What are you doing? attack him!" Coral flinched and looked at her ranked flank, just starting to heal. "Now!" Rat ordered. Coral flung herself on Runningstrike. Lilythorn (talk) 20:34, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstrike, this time, was ready for the attack he pulled himself out from under her, slammed himself into her, slamming her onto Rat. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 21:34, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

Coral screamed as she slid off Rat. The force of Runningstrike's bowl reopened her wounded flank and blood was now gushing out of it. Lilythorn (talk) 22:41, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstrike flinched. "Are you alright?" he asked, he hated this loner, but he didn't want to kill her! 23:31, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

"Let's go!" Rat yowled and ran away. Snap looked sadly to Coral and turned and pelted away. ---- Coral didn't reply. The pain she felt in her heart hurt more then the pain in her flank. They just left her? even Snap? Lilythorn (talk) 00:18, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"Come on," Runningstrike said, he knew what it felt like to be betrayed. Waterstar had come back to him but...she had left. "You can come to RockClan, we can heal you." He said. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 00:37, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"I have to.... get back to them..." Coral said weakly, black dots starting to appear in her vision. Lilythorn (talk) 01:56, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"No," Runningstrike said. "They betrayed you.....stay away from them. But if you want, you can go. But isn't a good idea." I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 02:07, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

Coral replied with a short choo and her head dropped. Blizzardheart watched sadly. "We should take her back, she'll die!" Lilythorn (talk) 02:10, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstrike nodded. "I wonder what my sister....I mean Waterstar....will think." He mumbled, prodding the loner. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike

"I'll force her to take this cat in if I have to!" Blizzardheart mewed stubbornly and lightly grasped Coral's fur between her teeth and pulled. Lilythorn (talk) 02:12, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstrike nodded, *We could always sneak her in....* he thought, before heping Blizzardheart. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 02:13, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

Waterstar, in her normal spot glaring at the camp jerked up when she saw Coral. "What is *that?" Lilythorn (talk) 02:15, March 29, 2016 (UTC)*

"Some rogues attacked us," said Runningstrike. "She was hurt badly by one of us, and then they left hr! She *has* to come, she will die otherwise!" he mewed. 02:16, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

Waterstar glared down coldly at the pitiful molly that lie at her paws. She was battered; matted, skinny, and bleeding heavily. "No," Waterstar huffed. Lilythorn (talk) 02:18, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"What?" Runningstrike said. "You will leave a dying cat in the forest? She is allmost *dead* Waterstar!" he hissed. 02:19, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"I do not care!" Waterstar growled. Leafwind, who sat a little ways away, jumped to his paws. "Waterstar! whats the matter with you!?" Lilythorn (talk) 02:21, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"You were never like this before!" Runningstrike snapped. "I don't know what's wrong with you, but she is staying weather you like or not! She is nearly dead!" He snapped. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 02:22, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"I said no! *I'm* leader!" Waterstar snarled. Leafwind looked shocked. "We're taking her in! and you can't stop us!" Lilythorn (talk) 02:24, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"Yes!" Peregrineheart said. "No matter what, you can't stop us from helping someone in danger!" I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 02:25, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

Blizzardheart and Sagenose began to carry Coral to the medicine den. Waterstar stayed silent, glaring blankly at the ground. "Wish we had Water*drop,"* Leafwind said just loud enough for her to hear. Lilythorn (talk) 02:27, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstrike nodded. "I shoud have known," he said. "She left me as a kit, she clearly knows nothing about betrayal. And how it hurts." 02:28, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

Waterstar marched out of camp, puffing. Lilythorn (talk) 02:30, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

Autumnpaw crawled out of the den. alarmed to see the group of cats, he jumped back. "W-who's t-this?" he aksed. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 02:32, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"She's hurt, please help her," was all Blizzardheart said. Lilythorn (talk) 02:34, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

Autumnpaw nodded. "Al-alright." he mewed, he grabbed the herbs, and tried to do his best. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 02:35, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

A few hours went by and Coral blinked open her eyes. "where am I?" she asked sleepily. Lilythorn (talk) 02:37, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"R-RockClan." Autumnpaw mumbled. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 02:38, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"What? I have to get back to Burr!" Coral yelped and tried to pull herself up. Lilythorn (talk) 02:40, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"Stop!" Autumnpaw mewed, for once speaking clearly. "If you movie, you wound will open up and you will bleed to death." He was a bit surprised at himself, be he rolled with it. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike

"But, but!" Coral tried to search for words, but 'but' would only come out. Lilythorn (talk) 02:44, March 29, 2016

Runningstrike waited, outside the medicine cat's den. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 02:45, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"Who is that?" Coral asked, watching Runningstrike carefully. He was the one who reopened her wound. Lilythorn (talk) 02:46, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"R-runinngstrike." Autumnpaw mewed. "H-h-e i-s o-o-ne o-f th-e cat-s to bring you here; he f-f-fought with his adoptive sister, and he never does that!" I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 02:48, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"Oh," Coral mewed. Lilythorn (talk) 02:51, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

Autumnpaw went to sulk in the dark. ------ Runningstrike tracked Waterstar's scent, fearing about what he might see. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 02:52, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

Waterstar was sitting hunched over a puddle. She didn't bother looking up to greet Runningstrike. Lilythorn (talk) 02:54, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"Are you alright?" he asked. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 02:56, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

Waterstar didn't reply. Lilythorn (talk) 02:57, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"That wasn't like you," Runningstrike said, softly. "Is something wrong?" I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 02:58, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

Waterstar closed her eyes. "Yes, Runningstrike, there is something wrong." Lilythorn (talk) 03:02, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"What?" he asked, surprised. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 03:03, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"I'm not the same," Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 03:12, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstrike nodded. "I noiticed you started acting different." I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 03:06, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"I don't think I can keep it up, Runningstrike," Waterstar meowed. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 03:12, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"Keep what up?" Runningstrike asked. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 03:08, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"Being leader," Waterstar meowed. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 03:12, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"Oh...why not?" Runningstrike asked, at a near loss of words. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 03:13, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"It's... too much... I'm failing the Clan," Waterstar mewed. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 03:14, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

RUnningstrike stared, there was nothing to say. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 03:15, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

Waterstar went back to looking at the ground. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 03:16, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstrike opened his mouth, then closed it. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 03:17, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

Creekfrost left his den to find a rogue in camp. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 03:21, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstrike walked back to camp. 03:24, March 29, 2016 (UTC)~

"What's with the frown, Runningstrike?" Creekfrost asked. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 03:27, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"Waterstar," he mewed. "She is acting strange lately." I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 03:28, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"She started acting like this when Smokestorm died," Creekfrost mewed. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 03:30, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"Yeah...." Runningstrike said. "I nearly killed this rogue by mistake, and she didn't want to let it into camp." I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 03:32, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"Hows the Rogue?" Creekfrost asked. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 03:35, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstrike shrugged. "I don't know, unconscious and bleeding the last time I saw her." he said I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 03:37, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"Were they hunting?" Creekfrost asked. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 12:18, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"No idea," Runningstrike said. "I just heard them and when I got there, one of them attacked me." I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 14:01, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

"Oh," Creekfrost said. "Well... see you later," he mewed and left. ---- Ashkit was now stalking Cinnamonpaw. ---- Coral looked around fretfully at the den. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 14:05, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

Cinnamonpaw coud hear something behind her, she ignored it. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 14:07, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

Waterstar returned to camp, looking more ruffled then ever. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 03:13, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstrike padded off, trying to stay clear of Waterstar, after that conversation he had with her, he didn't know what to say. 03:15, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

"Cats of RockClan gather," Waterstar called the Clan. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 03:17, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstrike wandered over, not really wishing too. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 03:18, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

"I have an annoucement to make," Waterstar began, pulling in a deep breath. "I'm stepping down as leader," Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 03:19, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstrikes eyes widened. "No!" He yelled. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 03:20, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

"I have to, Runningstrike. I letting you all down, I'm letting my sadness get in the way of whats important." Waterstar meowed, quite calmly and turned to Runningstrike. "RockClan will be in good paws though." Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 03:23, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstrike stood there. No....he couldn't do that.......I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 03:24, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

"It's for the best," Waterstar added. "I will be renamed to Waterdrop and demoted as a warrior," Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 03:27, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstrike stood there, not knowing what to do. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 03:30, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

Coral peered out of her den to watch. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 03:31, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

"Peregrineheart's deputy," Runningstrike said. "I guess I will go become leader..." I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 03:33, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

The Clan stood in a shocked confused silence. "Yay! yay! er, un, oh," Nightpaw mewed quietly. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 03:34, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

A few days later, Runningstrike---now Runningstar---returned. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 03:38, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

Coral was now able to leave the den. She sat along, dozing in some weak sunlight. She eyed Runningstar with care. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 03:40, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstar stood there. Looking at the ground. *You, a leader? Big joke....* said a voice in his head. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 03:43, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

Coral kept looking from Runningstar, to the ground, and back again. She hoped he wouldn't notice her watching him... Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 03:44, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

*I can be a leader you just wait!* Runningstrike thought. *Right...* said the voice. *Of course he can!* *No, he can't* *Yes he can, but he won't be...* *His sister made a huge mistake...* *he is better then some leaders...he is very clever.* *Broadly speaking* the voices became jumbled; npt spotting going over and over smashed together. It was impossible to think and to stop speaking. *We don't need an insane leader...* came over and over again. "EVERYONE STOP!" Runningstar shouted. I am    forever  *haunted* by the *voices* in my head ~Runningstrike 03:54, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

Coral leaped to her paws, wide awake at that. Her pelt fluffed out and eyes wild with terror. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 03:55, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstar's head wouldn't stop spinning, he sqeezed his eyes shut...voices over and over..... *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*

*What's happening? is he going to hurt me? Are Burr and the others coming? Will* they *hurt me?* Coral thought wildly. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 03:59, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstar felt terrible, the voices were all having a....a *fight?* in his head. "Runningstar, are you alright?" Peregrineheart asked. *We all go*  *a little*   MAD   *sometimes....*

Coral decided. She had to find Burr and the others. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 04:04, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

Instead of responding, Runningstar went to his den. *We all go*  *a little*   MAD   *sometimes....*

Coral got up and began to try to leave camp to begin her mad search. ---- Waterdrop watched a puddles surface ripple in a soft breeze. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 04:07, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

It was too much. The voices needed to stop.... *We all go*  *a little*   MAD   *sometimes....*

Coral tripped over a tussock. ---- Waterdrop let her head rest on the ground. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 04:11, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

loliepops 04:11, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

At once the voices stopped, Runningstar got up and went outside again.

*We all go*  *a little*   MAD   *sometimes....*

Coral stopped to check her wound. ---- Waterdrop started to doze a little. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 04:19, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

"Runningstar, what *happened* right there?" Peregrineheart asked. "Voices, Peregrine. Voices that are making me insane....." *We all go*  *a little*   MAD   *sometimes....*

Frozenwind pricked his ears at Runningstar. *Hm.* ---- Slatestream was out of camp. --look me in the eye 05:36, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

"NO! NOT AGAIN!" Coral yowled when she saw her wound was bleeding a little. She shoved her face closer. "Oh, it doesn't look *that* bad..." she mumured to herself. Only a tiny bit was open. That would close in no time! she just had to find some moss or leaves to put on it, and she'd be good to go! ---- Blizzardheart padded up to her brother. "So, what do you think of 'Running*star'*?" Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 14:56, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

Frozenwind pricked his ears as Blizzardheart came over to him. "Well," he mewed, "I haven't decided yet what to think of him as a leader.... but admittedly, I was surprised when Waterdrop stepped down." --look me in the eye 18:38, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstar padded off, back into his den. *We all go*  *a little*   MAD   *sometimes....*

Blizzardheart nodded. "Same." Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 15:13, March 31, 2016 (UTC)

Autumnpaw walked out of his den. *We all go*  *a little*   MAD   *sometimes....*
