WillowClan/7

The peppered tom allowed himself to smile. "I guess that's true," Shadowchaser answered in a lighter tone. He could only hope that her statement would remain true- tensions seemed to be mounting in WillowClan, to no fault of his own. The private relationships problems of others weren't his business, and he didn't appreciate it when they tried to force such matters upon him. His duty was to care for the clan as a whole, not break up childish fights. -- Shadowchaser

Riverstone grinned at her brother and eagerly stepped aside so that he could exit. "Great!" She purred with a curl of her tail, dancing a ways off so that she could be near to the camp's exit. "I want to work on tree-climbing, but we should wait until you recover a little more. We'll work on chasing down hares first." The gray tabby she-cat explained as Stonepaw rose in a stretch, slowly limping after his older sister. -- Riverstone & Stonepaw

"That's the spirit!" Morningglade exclaimed. Then perked up. "Hey, I think we're at the border now!" - Morningglade

(Should we take this to the Main Roleplay in the BreezeClan section?) The tom raised his head, squinting at the distant horizon, on which he thought he saw another patrol. "I think you're right." -- Shadowchaser

"No," Stormpaw sighed. "I just wanted someone new to talk to." - Stormpaw

Flamepaw bowed her head at Firepaw's burial place. "I am so sorry Firepaw. I never meant to do it. Please forgive me!..........May StarClan be with you." Flamepaw didn't know what to do. Run? Go back to camp? Hide? Tell the truth? Which way was correct?--Flamepaw

 Scorchpaw placed his blackbird on the fresh kill pile. Scorchpaw saw Stormpaw talking to a black cat. Hw gave Stormpaw the "Don't give the prophecy away" look before going to find Flamepaw. Scorchpaw padded through the bushes to see Flamepaw with her head bowed in front of a burial. Scorchpaw padded up beside her and mewed, "Was this someone you knew and loved? Family?" Flamepaw whipped around. "No no it isn't. Scorchpaw I killed Firepaw! I didn't mean it, but a......a dark feeling took me over. I was forced to be evil and kill her! What am I going to do?" Scorchpaw let Flamepaw her head on his shoulder. "Flamepaw I am sorry that happened. We will find a way to get that out. And about Firepaw, she is like never around." Flamepaw still looked shocked and scared. Scorchpaw himself thought, "What if we cannot stop this dark spirit? What will Flamepaw do?"--Scorchpaw and Flamepaw

@whiskers—probably)) Ripplepool was silent. He was tired and felt very odd. He walked with his head low and his shoulders shown. He sighed. *I hope Blondepool and the others are alright. Perhaps I could chat with Saltycurrent and Sweetpaw.* He thought. He didn’t even pay attention to what the others where talking about.—**Ripplepool**

Dawnbelly padded up to Rainsplash “I’d like to attend the patrol as well.” She meowed. Rainsplahs dipped her head. “if you’d like.” She meowed. Following Stormpaw. Dawnpaw flattened her ears at sight of the ginger pelt. Rainsplash padded slowly up to a stone and watched her apprentice.**—Rainsplash & Dawnbelly**

"Alrighty!" Branchpaw mewed. "Can I try?" He asked Dewshine. - Branchpaw

Dewshine nodded. “Sure!” She purred. She leaped off and pushed herself in battle position. “This is the usual position we go in before we pounce on anyone, or anything for that matter. I’d suggest trying it.” She meowed.—**Dewshine**

Nightfire cocked his head. “Really? Okay. I’m always here to talk.” He said. —- Nightfire

"A lot has been going on lately," breathed Stormpaw. "About...a prophecy and death and blood, and my friend Flamepaw." She glanced at Nightfire. "You seem like a kind cat. I have to go now, but bye. Maybe I'll speak to you again." Then Stormpaw padded away. - Stormpaw

Dawnbelly wrinkled her snout as she padded Stormpaw and bow into a crouch after a big minnow.—**Dawnbelly**

Nightfire nodded, “Bye Stormpaw.” He said, as she padded off. *She seems troubled. And about a prophecy . . . prophecies are never good, especially if it’s about someone you care about.* —- Nightfire

Mistystar raced after Skyshadow. "Give us a good reason for trusting Flamepaw!" -Mistystar

Branchpaw crouched low, his tail waving back and forth. "Grrr!..." He growled, then started running towards Dewshine. However, he jumped to late, and flew over her, landing on the other side. - Branchpaw

Skyshadow whipped around. “The Clan disliked her the moment she came in. They were already suspicious of her. Flamepaw has been fierce ever since. They were the ones who made her feel like this.”--Skyshadow

Stormpaw heard snarling as she entered camp. Skyshadow was glaring at Mistystar. Stormpaw leapt forward. "What's happening?" she demanded. - Stormpaw

"Let's talk to her," Mistystar suggested. **-- Mistystar**

Skyshadow growled, "I thought I could trust you! To protect Flamepaw! But I was wrong." Skyshadow whipped around and padded out of camp. Skyshadow stopped suddenly as she saw Flamepaw sobbing and burying her face in Scorchpaw's fur. Skyshadow laid her tail on her adopted daughter's shoulder and asked, "What is wrong Flamepaw?"--Skyshadow

Nightfire padded back to camp, flicking his tail. When he did get back to camp, he heard fighting and saw Skyshadow snarling at Mistystar, before padding out of camp. Confusion flooded through him. “What’s happening here?” — Nightfire

Mistystar ran up next to her. "Flamepaw? What's wrong?" The deep ginger apprentice was looking miserable; Scorchpaw looked similarly; and Skyshadow was looking concerned. Mistystar didn't know whether to trust Flamepaw. The chocolate point she-cat felt like something of an aunt to the young apprentice, but lately Flamepaw seemed more and more spiky and defensive. **-- Mistystar**

Nightfire’s pelt spiked in alarm, and he followed Mistystar and Skyshadow out of camp. — Nightfire

Cobaltsky blinked open his eyes, noticing he was in the medicine den. He spotted Dustypaw a few feet away, doing something medicine catty. "Wha-what happened?" He asked, struggling to his feet. - Cobaltsky

Scorchpaw explained, "Firepaw is dead. He was accidentally killed by Flamepaw." Scorchpaw flicked his tail to say more, since Flamepaw was burying deeper into his fur and Stormpaw was beside her. Scorchpaw whispered so only she could hear. "I have an idea. Everything is going to be fine." Scorchpaw sat up again. "Flamepaw was out in the forest trying to hunt for prey. She smelled ThornClan on the territory and went to chase them off. Flamepaw leaped and killed the cat because it had killed a squirrel. But Flamepaw realized that it was Firepaw, who must have rolled in the border markers.....for some reason. Flamepaw didn't know. She accidentally killed Firepaw." Scorchpaw looked hopefully at the cats that they would believe him and let Flamepaw relax.--Scorchpaw

Skyshadow was filled with grief. Firepaw was her former apprentice, but they wild cat just wanted to explore and not train. Skyshadow bowed her head and whispered, "Firepaw, you would have been a great WillowClan warrior. But now you will be a StarClan warrior. I hope you walk among the stars and please watch over our Clan." Skyshadow raised her head and mewed, "Flamepaw, I am sorry you killed Firepaw. You couldn't tell who he was with all the scent." Glancing at Mistystar, Skyshadow suggested, "I think we shouldn't tell that Clan about this. Just not to keep suspicions rising. But it is up to Mistystar." Skyshadow narrowed her eyes and mewed as kindly as she could, "What do you think Mistystar?"--Skyshadow

Nightfire bristled with alarm as he listened to Skyshadow. *What?* - Nightfire

Dawnbelly neared Nightfire side. “oh? She killed another one?” She whispered with her brows raised.

Sunflower raised her head and padded up to Cobaltsky with Dapplefrost behind her. “Oh! Cobaltsky, Dewshine and Branchpaw brought you back to camp. Saying something about a ginger she-cat.” She meowed, licking Dapplefrosts shoulder. It wasn’t groomed enough.—Dawnbelly & Sunflower

Mistystar stared at Scorchpaw. *What kind of cat* accidentally *kills someone?* "Flamepaw... You can't *kill* your Clanmates!" She leapt onto the Clanmound. She hated doing this, but it was time to take action. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Clanmound for a Clan meeting!" -- Mistystar

(Discussing something with HawkBlossom45)

“oh?” Sunflower followed Dapplefrost out to see what Mistystar wanted to tell.

Dawnbelly rolled her eyes as the patrol left, she padded towards a pool of water and slipped inside, looking for fish at her paws in the shallow water, enjoying herself.

Rainsplash drooped as she looked up to her leader.—**Sunflower Rainsplash Dawnbelly**

Nightfire hissed in disgust. He then flicked his ears back, as he continued to follow them back to camp, when Mistystar called the Clan meeting.. - Nightfire

Mistystar gazed gravely down at her Clan. "Firepaw is dead." - - Mistystar

Skyshadow stared at Mistystar is anger and disbelief. Wasn't Mistystar going to help Flamepaw? Skyshadow snarled and padded at the back of teh gathering cats. Skyshadow saw that Mistystar was looking at her, a emotion she couldn't read. Skyshadow only curled her lip, warning Mistystar to be careful of what she said.--Skyshadow

Scorchpaw stared disbelieving at the cats disappearing. They might chase Flamepaw out! Scorchpaw heard Flamepaw wail. "It is all my fault! Skyshadow should have never found me!" Scorchpaw mewed, "You didn't mean to kill Firepaw." But Flamepaw shook her head. Scorchpaw nudged Flamepaw to walk and the three apprentices, Scorchpaw, Flamepaw and Stormpaw, padded to the edge of the territory. Suddenly a new scent came from some bushes. Flamepaw hissed, "Go! Hide!" Scorchpaw and Stormpaw leaped in some bushes nearby, so they could still watch Flamepaw to make sure she was safe.

Flamepaw heard the rustling of the leaves and saw Shadepaw come out. Shadepaw padded straight to her side and pressed against her. "What is wrong Flamepaw?" Flamepaw stepped away from the tom. "Nothing you need to know. Now get off WillowClan's territory!" Shadepaw ignored and pressed against her again. "I missed you so much. Now we can be together." Flamepaw spat, "I don't even want to see you! Now go away!" Shadepaw looked shocked. Shadepaw padded so close their whiskers were touching. "I love you Flamepaw. I will never leave you. I will always be here." Scorchpaw burst out of the bushes and pushed Shadepaw away. "Stay away from her!" Shadepaw snarled and the two toms spat at eachother ," She is mine! No mine!" Flamepaw had enough. "I don't love you Shadepaw! I never did! I will never love you, EVER!" Shadepaw's eyes grew immediately dull. "But I love you! You can never leave me! Ever! I will always be here for you!" Flamepaw hissed, "No! You will never be with me! I DON'T LOVE YOU!" At that moment Shadepaw leaped at Flamepaw. Flamepaw didn't want to fight, but this, for once, was the right thing to do. Flamepaw felt pain all over her body. Flamepaw felt fur and flesh at her paws. Flamepaw leaped for Shadepaw's neck and bit hard. Shadepaw's throat was bloody. Shadepaw looked at Flamepaw in disbeilf and anger. "You will never forget me Flamepaw ever! I will be there always!" Flamepaw held her head high. "You are right. I will never forget you. I will always remeber you as a stupid dumb cat that was blind." Shadepaw's body went limp. Flamepaw turned around to see Scorchpaw and Stormpaw staring at her in disbeilf. Instead of saying anything, Scorchpaw ran up to her and purred, "Oh Flamepaw. I would have died for you! I HATE that cat! Oh Flamepaw!" Flamepaw felt a little better. That stupid furball was gone. But a weird feeling still hung around her, waiting to make her fall.--Flamepaw, Scorchpaw and Shadepaw

(SHADEPAW IS DEAD! YES!)--Rowan aka DarkMaster

Sunflower gasped. “No! Who killed her! What happened! I’d love to drink my claws into them!“ she hissed, anger bristling her fur.

Rainsplash lowered her gaze. “Id like to know also. They have no right to kill off the clan.” She hissed lowly. “I’d comment That you’d know Mistystar?” She meowed, fierce determination blazed in her blue gaze.—Sunflower & Rainsplash

Mistystar nodded. "I'm sorry, Rainsplash. I've been hesitating too long. Flamepaw killed two of her Clanmates. *Killed them*. She is no longer a part of WillowClan." - Mistystar

Nightfire pinned his ears against his head, and glared at her, but said nothing. - Nightfire

Rainsplash widened her eyes. “You!” She hissed to Skyshadow. “Let, her do this! How could you let your own daughter kill your clan mates!” She hissed, eyes widened.—**Rainsplash**

Sunflower widened her eyes. Turned to Dapplefrost. And whispered. “I bet she planned to kill them, she’s a monster...” Dapplefrost stepped protectively in front of Sunflower, in hopes that no one would try and kill her. “I won’t have our kits with *her* around.” Sunflower added—**Sunflower**

Skyshadow snarled at Rainsplash, "You guys were the ones who judge her before she spoke. What do you think you would have done? And talk about betraying and stuff, why don't you tell the Clan about your mate? A nice story for you kits *that you actually gave birth too!"* Swiftshadow padded up to press against Skyshadow, but that didn't calm down teh black she-cat. Skyshadow glared at Mistystar before whipping around and padding out.--Skyshadow

Scorchpaw and Flamepaw padded back to camp. Before they entered, Skyshadow was in their path. Flamepaw asked, "What is going on?" Skyshadow's eyes grew dull. "They kicked you out of WillowClan Flamepaw. They think you are becoming Tigerstar. I am so sorry Flamepaw." Scorchpaw growled, "I will make them think again!" Scorchpaw started to stomp into camp, but was held back by Skyshadow. "There is nothing you can do Scorchpaw. This is what Mistystar decided." Scorchpaw looked at Flamepaw sadly. Flamepaw murmured, "Well then I must leave. I knew this was going to happen anyway." Skyshadow held Flamepaw close to her. "Find somewhere to stay for the night. We can discuss about it tomorrow." Skyshadow licked Flamepaw before padding away. Flamepaw whispered, "Good bye Scorchpaw. It was nice being friends with you." Scorchpaw didn't move though. "I am not leaving you Flamepaw. C'mon. Let us go." The two apprentices padded away, not knowing what tomorrow would bring.--Scorchpaw and Flamepaw (Skyshadow)

(Wolfy do u want Nightfire to kick in now?)--Ro

(Yeah, that’d be cool. But I gtg for a few hours, so I won’t be on.) - Wolfy

wan

Stormpaw leapt to her paws and sprang after Scorchpaw and Flamepaw, following them hurriedly. "You were kicked out of WillowClan?" she gasped, narrowing her eyes. "I'm coming with you!" - Stormpaw

Rainsplash hissed. “I had every right to have my kits! At least they are real kin.” She hissed, then turned to Stormpaw. “Traitors!”. She knew her and Skyshadow would never mend their bond. Ever. “Good riddance!” She spat back.

Sunflower dug her muzzle into Dapplefrost. “Why did it have to end with Skystar leaving?” She murmured.—Rainsplash & Sunflower

Stormpaw felt a pang of grief as her mentor hissed at her. "I'm sorry." She didn't want her mentor to be angry with her. Scorchpaw and Flamepaw were walking away. "Good-bye, WillowClan." - Stormpaw

Sunflower then realized. “What’s wrong with Ripplepool and Dewshine?” She called.—**Sunflower**

Skyshadow called, "Why not ask Rainsplash! She knows everything about teh Warrior Code!"--Skyshadow

Flamepaw looked at her friends in happiness. Her friends really cared for her. Flamepaw turned away with her friends, leaving the Clan behind. They found a place to sleep outside of WillowClan territory, a place that no one had claimed until now-Flamepaw

Rainsplash narrowed her eyes. “I might know more than you.” She murmured, turning. Then she met Sunflowers eyes. “What is she talking about?“ she sighed. Looking up at Mistystar. Rainsplash was glad her children’s weren’t around. She might be directed to tell their truth.—**Rainsplash**

"Skyshadow. Your *daughter* *killed cats*. My Clanmates. My niece. If she is found on WillowClan territory, I *will* kill her. She can never be forgiven," Mistystar stalked out of camp. *I need to see Minnowsplash...* -- Mistystar

Skyshadow spat, “Didn’t you think Flamepaw as your niece!? If you really did you wouldn’t kill her! You would know what to do! But you don’! Do you think she would be depressed because she enjoyed killing Firepaw?! She didn’t want to! But you now exiled her! You don’t care for your Clanmates, especially for apprentices. You just care for the ones who are close to you! And I am not one of them!“—Skyshadow

(Okay I’m back!) - Wolfy

Nightfire raced after Flamepaw, Scorchpaw, and Stormpaw. “I’m coming with you three.” He said. - Nightfire

Flamepaw looked surprised. Scorchpaw was about to spat something, but Flamepaw laid her tail on his mouth. Flamepaw asked Nightfire, “Why do you want to come with us? You will probably never be able to come back. And aren’t you scared of me? I killed some cats.” Flamepaw couldn’t help but feel please that a warrior would like to be with them. But what did he really want?—Flamepaw

(Heyo Wolfy :)-Rowan

Stormpaw felt a tingle of pleasure that Nightfire was coming. She looked down and licked her chest, trying to smooth her fur. - Stormpaw

Lilypaw felt anger boil in her belly as she watched Flamepaw and her friends stalk out of camp. *Thank the skies*, she thought furiously. *That blasted Flamepaw killed my sister! Goodness she's gone! ... But what if she's not gone for good?* - Lilypaw

Lilypaw *had* to follow. She knew that she should put her Clan above all, but right now she couldn't think. She *had* to avenge Firepaw's death. So she left. She turned to Rainsplash and meowed, "I'm going to go hunt," trying to keep her voice tight. Lilypaw stalked away, her heart hammering. Was she *really* leaving? She *was*. As Lilypaw walked stealthily into the forest, tracking Flamepaw's scent, she couldn't help but think, *I'm not Lilypaw anymore. I'm not an apprentice anymore. I'm a warrior. I'm Lilyspirit, the cat that avenges deaths*. - Lilyspirit

Stormpaw awoke to a gleaming dawn. She sat up. *Am I on dawn patrol?* Then she remembered. She wasn't part of WillowClan anymore. A bolt of grief struck her in the chest to hard she couldn't breathe. She heard a rustle in the undergrowth behind the den. "Flamepaw?" Stormpaw rasped. But a familiar scent drifted toward her: Lilypaw!? Stormpaw spun around to see a mottled brown face glaring at her through the leaves. "Lilypaw?" she breathed, echoing her thoughts. "It's Lily*spirit* now," sneered Lilypaw. "*Lilyspirit*?" Stormpaw asked. "Who gave you your warrior name early?" "No one did," Lilyspirit snapped. "I gave it to myself. I'm not part of WillowClan anymore." Stormpaw started. "What do you mean?" the gray apprentice asked. "Do you want to join us?" Hope sparked in her chest, but Lilyspirit narrowed her eyes in disgust. "No, *traitors*," she hissed. "I'm going to *kill* Flamepaw!" "Kill Flamepaw!" Stormpaw gasped, horrified. "But..why?" - Stormpaw

"She killed Firepaw," snarled Lilyspirit. *How is Stormpaw* this *dumb*? she thought. "And now she's going to be dead at *my* paws." Lilyspirit melted back into the shadows. "Don't speak of this, Stormpaw. Or you'll just be another cat I'll have to kill to keep my secret quiet." - Lilyspirit

Nightfire looked at Flamepaw. “Because, it was unfair that Mistystar exiled you. I want to help you! And I really do want to come with you three.” - Nightfire

Flamepaw nodded. “You are welcome to leave or stay. Just don’t tell anybody. We will talk with the others later.” Flamepaw took on last glance before she padded to Scorchpaw. "Nightfire is staying with us." When Flamepaw saw Scorchpaw snarl, Flamepaw added, "He is on our side."—Flamepaw

(Silvery. Wolfy. Should they become a loner group? Any names? Can Flamepaw be the leader? Should they keep their names or only be called like Flame and Scorch?)—Rowan

(ye, they should become a loner group. discard their 'paws and just keep their prefix). - Silvery

Stormpaw staggered back to camp to find Flamepaw. She couldn't believe what she'd just seen and heard. *Lilypaw*-no, *Lilyspirit* wanted to *kill* Flamepaw? Out of vengeance? Her heart hammering, Stormpaw found her ginger friend standing beside the forest. "Flamepaw," she croaked, her throat dry. - Stormpaw

Lilyspirit curled her lip as she slid back into the undergrowth. She *would* kill Flamepaw. She *would* avenge Firepaw! She just had to find the right time and place to sink her fangs into Flamepaw's flesh... - Lilyspirit

Flamepaw let the tom talk while she went to find Stormpaw. "C'mon Stormpaw." But the gray she-cat didn't move. Instead she looked worried. Flamepaw asked, "Stormpaw what is-." Weight fell on Flamepaw's back. Flamepaw saw who is was. Lilypaw! "Lilypaw what are you doing?" The she-cat hissed, "It is Lilyspirit! I have come to kill you after what you did to Firepaw." Lilyspirit dug her claws in her back and Flamepaw felt pain in her back. Flamepaw rolled on her back and crushed Lilyspirit and leaped at her belly. Stormpaw was fighting with her, but her former injuries were bothering her. Flamepaw felt blood and fur at her paws and Lilyspirit battering her. Flamepaw placed her claws at Lilyspirit's neck and finally captured her. "Lilypaw I didn't mean to kill Firepaw! I was forced. I never wanted to fight you either. Please go back to your Clan." But Lilyspirit didn't stop. Flamepaw sighed. "I am sorry Lilyspirit. I never wanted to do this. But I must for out protection. Good-bye." Flamepaw's claws dug into Lilyspirit's throat and blood flowed out. The she-cat was staring blankly, now with The Dark Forest. Flamepaw didn't speak to Stormpaw, they both had the same thought. They picked up Lilyspirit's body and padded to the others.--Flamepaw

Stormstreak raced through the forest. *I have to reach Flamepaw*! She pulled up short at the sight of brown bengal fur. *Lilypaw...? NO!* The young she-cat's green eyes were staring blankly into space, absent and glazed. A bushy ginger tail whipped out of sight in some bushes. Stormstreak called after it. "Flamepaw! Wait! I need to talk to you!" -- Stormstreak

Flamepaw whipped around at Stormstreak's voice. "What do you want Stormstreak? Non of us want you here and we will not go back! Mistystar betrayed us all! We are no longer WillowClan!" Flamepaw gave Stormstreak one more glare before padding away.--Flamepaw

(I agree with the loner idea. Or they could have something like Tribe names? Or they could just keep their prefixes.) - Wolfy

((If the group is no longer apart of WillowClan, then they should be moved to the appropriate roleplay section of **Main Roleplay**, considering that their group page says they live in separate territory))

Stonepaw calmly padded after Riverstone as they left camp to head out to work on some hunting practice. With the poppy seeds kicking in, the apprentice no longer felt intense pain in his limb. He hoped that he wouldn't feel so miserable for his entire life- how could he be a productive warrior of WillowClan if he was always in pain? -- Stonepaw & Riverstone

((True. Rowan, go ahead and make a roleplay on their page.))

Stormstreak raced after her. "Flamepaw... I believe you! I want to go into exile with you. You're in a *prophecy*. I think you need a medicine cat... At least a retired one." -- Stormstreak

Flamepaw whirled around. “I have been in the medicine cat den long enough that I know the herbs! If you cared about the prophecy, you wouldn’t have let me be exiled. But you didn’t.“ Flamelaw flicked her tail which ordered Stormpaw to be ready to attack.—Flamepaw

(from now on flame, storm, night, and scorch's rps will be in the darkmaster's page)

Stormstreak thought, "They think they can kill me. Two apprentices against me... Then, Flamepaw, you *have* murdered four cats. The warrior code orders us not to kill. Flamepaw has broken it. But Stormpaw doesn’t know It rips the mind apart... Flamepaw seems to have no sense of guilt at all.” -- Stormstreak

Silence was typical for Stonepaw, but something still felt off with the charcoal-colored tom. Frowning as she walked along, Riverstone glanced at her younger brother. "Something bothering you, Stonepaw?" The warrior asked with concern causing her pale blue eyes to narrow. "I'm your sister- I can tell when something's wrong." -- Riverstone & Stonepaw

Stormstreak padded through the forest. Seeing a flash of gray tabby fur, she called out. "Riverstone?" -- Stormstreak

The apprentice drew in a deep breath before glancing up at his older sister. "I-" Before Stonepaw could admit how he was feeling, the distant call of the clan's retired medicine cat caught the attention of both apprentice and mentor. Riverstone raised her head, trotting a distance forward to meet up with the clan's elder. "Stormstreak? What're you doing out here?" Stormstreak...well, to be frank, the elder was ancient, so Riverstone had every right to be worried about her. -- Riverstone & Stonepaw

((Completely true she is ancient lol)) -Hawk

"Riverstone... It's Lilypaw... Flamepaw- she killed Lilypaw," Stormstreak gasped. "She's made a rogue group on the edge of the forest- Stormpaw and Scorchpaw, and, I think, Nightfire, have joined her. Lilypaw is dead." -- Stormstreak

Skyshadow awoke from the warrior’s den. It was the day after Flamepaw’s exile and her heart twisted with pain. Skyshadow padded over to her sister who was waiting for her with fresh-kill. “I am sorry about Flamepaw.” Skyshadow growled, “This Clan is full of traitors. Mistystar is no longer my friend. She is *nothing* to me! How could she do that? Mistystar was like an aunt to Flamepaw. But I guess not.” Swiftshadow pressed against her sister. “I am here for you Skyshadow. I will always.” Skyshadow nodded, but didn’t speak. An idea came to her head. Skyshadow whispered, “You want to go visit them?” Swiftshado’s eyes were wide with shock, but then she smiled. “I want to see how Scorchpaw is doing.” The two sisters are quickly their food before setting off to find their apprentices.—Skyshadow and Swiftshadow

Streampaw hissed. She was inside camp, debating her future. A while ago, a few apprentices and a warrior had left camp. But where did they go? She would wonder. Eventually, she made up her mind she would follow them before the scent got too stale. Clan life was boring and overrated. Being the sassy she-cat she was, she would do anything to get away from it. Both of her parents were dead anyway, along with her siblings. She took a step towards the entrance to camp. "Wait." A voice said. "Flareflight!" Streampaw looked up. "I'm going with you." He said. "Going where?" Streampaw laughed nervously. "Don't play games with me. Those warriors that left camp, you're going to follow them." Flareflight hissed. "And, I'm going with you." "but why?" Streampaw asked. "Camp life isn't for me." He answered, preparing to leave. "But what about Swallowspots, and Featherfall; your family!" Streampaw protested. Flareflight looked back at her. "They'll never realize I was gone." Streampaw nodded. "We'll leave later, we have a long journey I assume." - Streampaw and Flareflight

Fangflame looked out of camp to where she had last seen the three apprentices and the warrior go. - Fangflame

Aspenpaw yawned as he guarded camp, a self-assigned job. It was almost greenleaf, and it was bound to be hot. Guarding camp gave Aspenpaw time to think about things, something be wasn't accustomed to doing. Aspenpaw wondered where his brother and sister were. "Probably training..." He muttered under his breath. "Why couldn't they take me? I haven't had a mentor in a while." He swished his tail back and forth irritably. Riverstone and Stonepaw always left him behind, but he figured because they were mentor and apprentice they would grow closer then normal. Bored, he padded out to look for them. Then, he saw a flash of charcoal grey, his brother probably. Emerging into the training clearing he mewed, "Hey guys what-" he cut himself off when he saw Stormstreak. "Stormetreak?" He gaped. - Aspenpaw

Stonepaw seemed a little more focused on his thoughts, pale eyes narrowed as he contemplated his own future. Meanwhile, Riverstone was overly concerned about Stormstreak's well-being, considering that the elder had since left camp independently. And Riverstone, like most of Willowclan, knew how ancient the former medicine cat was. "Stormstreak!" The warrior fretted with her eyes round, circling around the elder to ensure that she was alright. "You shouldn't be out here all by yourself!" She eyed her other brother, Aspenpaw. The same went for him- at when he wasn't with his mentor. -- Riverstone & Stonepaw

Stormstreak narrowed her eyes. "Look, I know I'm a rotting old fossil, but if you don't believe me, check if Lilypaw is anywhere or go to Flamepaw and ask." --Stormstreak

Riverstone flicked her tabby tail. "We can send out a search party for Lilypaw later, she should know better than to run off without a mentor to guide her." For now, the warrior needed to focus on ensuring that the elder safely returned to camp. Lilypaw was nearly a warrior, she could handle herself for the time being, or poking her nose into whatever trouble she was trying to get into. "Let's get *both* of you back to camp," the warrior decided, clearly referring to both Stormstreak and Aspenpaw. -- Riverstone

Aspenpaw stuck his tongue out at Riverstone. "I can take care of myself! Besides, I don't even have a mentor!" He smarted. - Aspenpaw

The warrior rolled her eyes. "Suit yourself- don't go sobbing to mother because you chose to ignore me." The gray tabby warrior responded, turning to herd Stormstreak towards camp. -- Riverstone

"Whatever!" Aspenpaw hollered after Riverstone, then turned to Stonepaw. "She's so annoying! How can you survive with her as your mentor?!" - Aspenpaw

Rainsplash sobbed. “It’s nothing!” She hissed at Sunflower, storming off into her nest. Sunflower flinched out of the way.—Sunflower & Rainsplash

Dawnbelly rolled her eyes. *Serves her right.*—Dawnpaw

Skychaser spotted Stormstreak and Riverstone heading back to camp. ''Hm? Stormstreak?" He asked, padding up to them. "What happened?" He turned to Riverstone. - Skychaser

Dawnpaw narrowed her eyes. *Hmmm, I might need to make sure they make it out of WillowClan territory, perhaps a spy mission is in order? The clan will understand.* She raised a brow as she saw two black-and-white figures traveled out of camp, she climbed a tree and stay light on her paws. *Ah, the trouble makers. Skyshadow and Swiftshadow.... why? Oh. They must want to join those fools.* She smiled evily, but didn’t try and pounce on their heads. She followed them, silently, blending with the leaves and dark branches.—**Dawnpaw**

Rainsplash would LOVE to attack Skyshadow right about now. She hated the she-cat. she never even knew who told her about... about... she shook her head. *She’s the one who started it all. Not properly caring for her so called kit.* She closed her eyes. “It’s all over. Don’t worry.” She murmured.—**Rainsplash**

Shadowfall was out, well, actually, watching Dawnbelly, why was she following Skyshadow and Swiftshadow? *Creep!* He hissed in his head. He stopped behind her as the two senior warriors trudged on, and then threw her off the branch she was on. “Hey!” She hissed, managing ti claw at his muzzle before she landed with a thud. “What are you doing!” She hissed. Getting to her paws, he landed on his paws. “Do you not trust them? Why are you following them!” He hissed. She hated her teeth and he was ready to pounce. “Skyshadow and Swiftshadow are traitors. Not to be trusted! They’re obviously gonna join the murderer Flamepaw! She was obviously with the place of no stars!” Shadowpaw shook his head, “how would you know if that’s real!” He hissed. She narrowed her eyes. ”you would *never* understand!” And she leaped. He ducked under her. “Unless you know because—.” He was cut off as she slashed at his neck. *She almost killed me!* He flinched away. “If that’s how you want it.” He lowered to a crouch, and sprang.—**Shadowfall** & **Dawnbelly**

"Skychaser. Lilypaw's dead- and Flamepaw killed her. She threatened to kill me, too." Stormstreak said. Suddenly, her ears pricked at the sound of a scuffle. She tasted the air. "Shadowfall... Dawnbelly- Skyshadow and Swiftshadow. Follow me!" she pelted off as fast as her old legs would carry her. -- Stormstreak

Dawnbelly slashed at his shoulder and leaped away from his claws. “Flamepaw is a monster! Not me!” She hissed Shadowfall sighed. “Then why are you attacking me.” He meowed. She paused. “Because... Because you followed me! I bet Skyshadow and Swiftshadow are gonna join them! Like the traitors their bloodline is!” She stopped and realized. He was her kin, Swiftshadow was Ambereye’s mother. *Uh oh.* She gasped as he yowled loudly. He leaped on her. “ Swiftshadow is a loyal cat! And not all her kin is drenched with disloyal warriors!”—Shadowfall & Dawnbelly

Shadowfall then noticed what was happening. He, looming over Dawnbelly, claws at her neck. He widened his eyes as he stepped off. “You almost killed me!” she snapped. He backed away. “I’m, I'm sorry...” He sighed. She sneered. “Heh. Like I said. Betrayal.” And she stalked back to camp. Leaving him, alone. He sat in silence. *Wait. Stormpaw left? Oh StarClan, has Swiftshadow made a mistake having our mother? Our family is falling apart....* he sighed. *Perhaps I should go and find her, ask her why.* And he stalked off. Towards where the two she-cats he saw.—**Shadowfall**

Swiftshadow and Skyshadow padded to camp. They heard rustling in the distance, but ignored it. Swiftshadow whispered, "Flame is a leader. But there is something that doesn't feel right." Skyshadow nodded agreement, but they didn't know what it was. But all they knew was that is was bad--Skyshadow and Swiftshadow

Shadowfall pricked his ears as he saw bodies moving, he lowered and leaped. Landing on the black and white tortoiseshell with a hiss. Than realized.—Shadowfall

Swiftshadow spat, "What is your problem?! It is just a Skyshadow and I! Get off!" Swiftshadow pushed Shadowfall off and drew her lips back in a snarl.--Swiftshadow

Shadowfall hissed a little but obeyed. “Sorry. I was looking for you.” He dipped his head apologetically. “I was also aiming to look for Stormpaw. Was that what you where doing?”—**Shadowfall**

Skyshadow dipped her head in greeting, but said nothing. Swiftshadow snarled, "No. Stormpaw left for a reason. She didn't want to leave her friends, and especially not stay with a leader who just exiled her BFF."--Swiftshadow

 Skyshadow hissed, "I thought Mistystar would act as an aunt too Flamepaw. But I was wrong. I can't trust her! I was wrong to chose her as deputy! I will never talk to her again!" Skyshadow pictured herself getting her revenge on Mistystar.--Skyshadow

 (Hehe Willow. We are just rping back and forth. Can u do the same on Rowan?)--Rowan aka DarkMaster

(sure!)-Willow

Shadowfall held back a gasp. “Erm. Skyshadow, didn’t Flamepaw kill her own Clanmates? That’s against the warrior code. I’m sure Mistystar knew she meant well, but she might be trying to protect her clan...” he honestly was a little scared of the former leader. “Erm, weren't you leader before? Maybe you know how hard it is?” He considered. Though sadness clutched his heart, even though he never knew Stormpaw, he missed her as though his kin is everywhere in WillowClan. She suffered more then he had—**Shadowfall**

Skyshadow growled, "Don't you cats have ears! She said she was forced! Flamepaw didn't want to! And I was leader, and yes it was hard. But I would listen to the story and not just judge right away! I had to deal with traitors, but I took the pain! Mistystar betrayed us all and I will never trust her again!"--Skyshadow

Shadowfall leaped back. “Erm, well, I don’t know much about being a leader, so I can’t say. Though I think I’d like to see Stormpaw again if you know where she is.” He turned to Swiftshadow.—**Shadowfall**

Swiftshadow kept her face. "No I don't. I told you, I am sure she wouldn't stay near the Clans after what Mistystar did! Mistystar is nothing anymore!" Skyshadow and Swiftshadow stormed off, leaving Shadowfall behind.--Swiftshadow

(Remember no one finds The DarkMasters)

Shadowfall snarled. “Heh and you’re something! Swiftshadow! The Clan lies of your blood bubbling with Betrayal! Is it true! Did you betray your clan? From where I see it you are giving up on it! Both of you!” He snarled loudly. He couldn’t understand, *Mistystar is a noble leader.... My blood is rained with betrayal....—***Shadowfall**

Swiftshadow whipped around and stormed to Shadowfall until she was a whisker away. "I have proved my loyalty! Mistystar has exiled by kin. Who do you think will be next?" Leaving that, Swiftshadow walked with Skyshadow back to WillowClan.--Swiftshadow

"Can I try the move now?" Birdpaw spoke up after several moments of silence, spent watching Branchpaw and Dewshine practicing the move. She wasn't well experienced in the battle aspect, save for moves meant to defend herself learned from Stormstreak. She had already been proving herself a talented hunter, but fighting...she could only hope that she'd be half-decent. -- Birdpaw

Shadowfall stood gruffly. “Most likely one of you if you’ve been noticing!” He yowled back. He turned in disbelief and padded through the forest. Who was he now? Knowing hed been disloyal the moment he was born. He sat and stared as the sun sank under the trees. He saw the stars rise and wondered. “Is starClan watching me now!” He hissed swiping at his reflection. He decided to hunt.

“oh! Cobaltsky! Right!” Sunflower returned to the medicine cats den. “Erm, yeah, they said you where attacked by some cat.”

Rinsp,ash stretched out of the warriors den though she saw the two black and white she-cats and hissed loudly. Not looking them in the eyes. She exited camp, passing Skyshadow, whipping her with her tail. “Traitor.” She whispered.

“Yep! Go ahead Birdpaw!” Dewshine purred. She was the best mentor ever. No doubt. Hopefully.—**Rainsplash****& Sunflower & Shadowfall & Dewshine**

Skyshadow rolled her eyes. Of course they might be the ones to be exiled next! Who else? Skyshadow heard Rainsplash. Skyshadow spat, "Says the one who was mates with a cat *outside* the Clan. *You* are the one who betrayed your Clan!" Skyshadow padded with Swiftshadow to the fresh-kill pile.--Skyshadow

“heh. You made a monster.” She huffed. Rainsplash started to hunt. She decided she wanted to start competition with Skyshadow. Not that Rainsplash cared if Skyshadow lived or died anymore anyways.—**Rainsplash**

Sunflower realized. “Oh! And Branchpaw went out training with Dewshine and Birdpaw.” She ended.—**Sunflower**

"Alright," Birdpaw responded, ensuring that her claws were safely sheathed before she pressed herself against the ground, red belly fur brushing against the grass. She calculated the distance before leaping at her mentor, hoping to catch her off-balance in order to flip Dewshine and then go for her belly. -- Birdpaw

Dewshine huffed. “Wow! You’re a natural at this!” She meowed playfully. Getting back to her paws. “Why don’t we hunt a bit? It’s getting dark and we might neeed to return to camp later.“ Dewshine insisted.—**Dewshine**

Birdpaw pricked her ears, holding back a proud purr at her mentor's compliment. "I'm fine with hunting," she answered in a cheerful tone before backing off so that Dewshine could rise to her paws.-- Birdpa

“Great!” Dewshine purred. Crouching go hunting position. Stalking through the forest.—**Dewshine**

Frostbreeze sat near the fresh kill pile, grooming her fur as she prepared for her vigil. It had been a long and eventful day, but the silver spotted tabby kept her cool. It felt odd, not having Shadowchaser around since he was the only cat she really knew. Outside of Ashbreeze, of course. Frostbreeze raised her head, narrowing her eyes at the sun as it slowly sank in the sky. *It won't be much longer now.* -- Frostbreeze

Birdpaw silently followed her mentor, jaws parted to breath in the scent of any nearby prey. Her tongue was bathed by the bitterness of nearby herbs, plants that she'd normally collect during her medicine cat apprentice times. *No, I don't need to find those anymore.* Birdpaw forced herself to detect beyond the herbs, to pick up the mouth-watering scent of prey instead. -- Birdpaw

Rainsplash whipped around to end. “I killed him.” And carried on—**Rainsplash**

Later that day as the sun set, she fall asleep near tree roots, the worst dream she’d ever had. More of a memory. *Rainsplash gasped as she emerged from the Warriors den. Cats everywhere, scenting of ThornClan. Oh no, why now! Skystar has been attacking a big red tom with Moondust, Snowstorm and Brackenleaf had been attacking separate She-Cats. (...) She slashed at Hawktalon, sending him to the ground. “What are you doing here!” Yowled Rainsplash to Hawktalon. Her paws had turned red. Skystar stood over Moondust’s pelt. “ThornClan! Retreat!” Hawktalon hissed, then he whispered into Rainsplashes ear, “I’m sorry, this was Pricklestar’s plot and we WON.” And that made Rainsplash hiss aloud and slash at him even more, ignoring her own fake wounds. Leaving Hawktalon limp under her paws.* She gasped awake. “This was my fault.” She sobbed. “Hawktalon. Why....” she shook her head. And took a breath. She wasn’t a traitor though! She protected her clan. She followed the code! She killed him. And Skyshadow NEEDED to know that.—Rainsplash

Skyshadow narrowed her eyes. "That just means you didn't love him. Which could also mean you don't love your kits either." Skyshadow smirked before padding out of the camp to hunt with Swiftshadow.--Skyshadow

Rainsplash widened her eyes. “I love my kits! And I loved him! I was fighting for my clan! That’s where my loyalty was and you know it Skyshadow! Perhaps you lack love for Flamepaw since you let Mistystar banish her. Oh sorry, *Exile* her!” Rainsplash hissed. Unsheathing her claws. She really wanted to kill this traitor. Though, she knew Skyshadow wouldn’t let her so easily.—**Rainsplash**

"You think I don't love Flamepaw. Well think again. I didn't kill my mate. But I couldn't stop our weak and stupid leader. And anyways, if you fight me, who will be exiled then?".--Skyshadow

“heh it would be worth it if I killed you. You never had a mate anyways. She’s not your kin.” Rainsplash hissed. “And I bet StarClan would crash down on your shoulders, knowing you disrespected the clan you used to lead.” Rainsplash added with an evil hiss.—**Rainsplash**

Skyshadow sneered, "Then betray your Clan! I never wanted a mate because that would make we weak. Mates aren't for me. I fight alone." Skyshadow suddenly smirked. "Oh are you saying that Willowstar, *my mother*, would kick me out. I was a leader, while you betrayed your Clan."--Skyshadow

Rainsplash laughed. “Heh. It doesn’t matter if Willowstar is your mother. And I bet she would kick Flameoaw out either way, even if you came with her. And I’m so very sorry you never found love in your life. This only happened because of Ambereye! She left to join KitClan, or rather find Sandkit, and I had been stuck with him! I wouldn’t be surprised if you left the clan. I bet that would’ve solved our problems and Flamepaw wouldn’t be the monster she is!” Rai splash looked to her paws and stared Skyshadow in the eyes, sorrow filling hers. “A Murderer Skystar!”—**Rainsplash**

Skyshadow padded up to Rainsplash. "And you are saying Willowstar would keep a traitor? You may think I am evil, but you are a traitor and a cheater on your Clan. They aren't even your Clan, you're just a rogue! Call me what you want. It really flatters me that my daughter was a better cat than you!" Skyshadow whipped around and stalked out of camp with her sister.--Skyshadow

Rainsplash snarled. Then couldn’t hold herself back. “You foxdung hearted piece of nothing!” She lept onto Skyshadow, claws unsheathed. “Stop trying to run away!”—**Rainsplash**

Skyshadow snarled, "I was going to hunt you stupid furball! What happened to the loyal Rainsplash?" Swiftshadow leaped on top of Rainsplash and flung her off her back. Swiftshadow spat, "Unless you want the Clan to go hungry! And we *never* run away! You are the one who ran away from your own mate. So I suggest you do something useful!" Swiftshadow and Skyshadow stared at Rainsplash as they walked out of camp.--Swiftshadow and Skyshadow

“heh, wow, Swiftshadow. You tell me I ran away? I killed him. The only cat I ever loved! And now my kits are away! But you have many kits, right? I bet you never felt loss, and anger! Even if I am a rogue! I try!”—**Rainsplash**

"Like Skyshadow said, "'You never loved him!' Now excuse us, bur we are going to do something useful to our Clan instead of trying to kill one another."--Swiftshadow

Rainsplash flattened her ears. “Fine. but you are nothing to me.” She turned and stalked off. She loved her mate. They’d never understand. *I love you too.* She suddenly gasped as she heard the familiar voice. Then her heart bloomed with rosy warmth as she felt alive as Hawktalon’s spirit was around her.—**Rainsplash**

Skyshadow flicked her tail. "Rainsplash was never anything to us. Nothing to me!" The two sisters split up to catch their prey.--Skyshadow

Shadowfall growled some unnecessary words as he entered camp. He really wished the clan would be better soon.—Shadowfall

Ashbreeze trotted up to Frostbreeze with her tail waving. "Our vigil should be very soon!" The pale spotted she-cat meowed to the former loner with an enthusiastic twitch of her silvered whiskers. "It's gonna be plenty of fun, I promise! We get to stay up all night, watch camp, watch the stars, chat the night away...." Ashbreeze went on and on. -- Ashbreeze & Frostbreeze

Mapleblaze rolled her eyes at Ashbreeze. The apprentice was too chatty and excited, too much to her liking. She Stared at Muddyfang. “What? I said I was sorry. Still thinking about what to say?” She grumbled. —Mapleblaze

Sunflower sighed. “Do you know the cat who attacked you?” She asked Cobaltsky—Sunflower

"Yeah... she was really pret- I mean yes! She had red fur, and I think her name was Cardinal?..." Cobaltsky said quickly. - Cobaltsky

Sunflower sighed. “How did she knock you out?” —**Sunflower**

"Well, she just kinda bowled me over, and hite me really hard. I flew into a tree, and then that was it." Cobaltsky shrugged. *Awkward!* The voice of Morningglade said in his thoughts. - Cobaltsky

“Hmmm. I think that’s a little odd if there are loners on our territory. Maybe you should check it out. But be really really careful.” She reminded him.—**Sunflower**

Cardinal went back to hunting. Not shaking that Cobalt tom out of her head. *Too brave for my liking.* She reminded herself briefly too many times.—**Cardinal**

Cobaltsky nodded, and stood up, flicking his tail. "I'll be back." Before long, Cobaltsky was up in the trees hoping he could spot Cardinal before she spotted him. There was a rustle in the bushes below, and Cobaltsky stopped, looking down. There she was, Cardinal. Cobalt shook his head vigorously, trying to get all romantic thoughts out of his head. *You sound like me over Muddyfang.* Morningglade teased in his thoughts. *Whatever,* he growled back, bunching his muscles, preparing to spring. - Cobaltsky

Cardinal heard the slightest of breaths and paused. A toothy grin spread on her face. He leaped. She crouched. “Back already?”—**Cardinal**

Cobaltsky spun in mid-air so as to land next to the ginger she-cat. He snarled, his tail lashing. "I told you already get off our territory!" Quickly, he sized her up. He could beat her easily now. Cardinal hadn't had a rest yet, whereas Cobaltsky had just come back from one, healed and ready to go. *But I don't want to hurt her.* He realized. - Cobaltsky

Cardinal rolled her eyes. “Okay? And I didn’t.” She sighed. She flicked her tail and licked a paw. “You don’t seriously want me to Cary you back again?”—**Cardinal**

Cobaltsky took this moment of distraction to spring. He landed on top of Cardinal knocking her to the ground. "Not so fast there." A voice growled. Cobaltsky turned to see a ginger tabby (Fanta) step out of the undergrowth. He looked familiar for some reason. - Cobaltsky

Cardinal rolled her eyes. “Seriously? This is how I knocked you out the last time mousebreath!” She looked to Fanta. “Great.” (Is he with da pack)—**Cardinal**

(Nope, just a wandering rouge)

(Hey Willow. So here is it ok if like Ripple can say some stuff about the prophecy but not enough for Sky to understand?)--Rowan

(Ripplepool is with Shadowchasers patrol in BreezeClan)

(@whiteout: Ah) Cardinal hissed. “Get lost or I’ll shred you!” To Fanta. “You too!” She lies to Cobaltsky. Though she knew it was a useless threat, since the tom was on her.—**Cardinal**

(Ahhhh ok. But u get what I am trying to say? Like would that be fine when Ripple comes back?)--Rowan

Skyshadow and Swiftshadow padded back to camp with prey in their jaws. They spotted Mistystar and later Rainsplash. They both narrowed their eyes. Skyshadow and Swiftshadow dropped their prey before picking some for the elders. Skyshadow cast a angry glance at Stormstreak before she padded out with her sister.--Skyshadow and Swiftshadow

(yes)

Rainsplash yawned as Dewshine and the apprentices entered camp. Dewshine smiled as she dropped their prey. “Hey Skyshadow” she smiled. Not even noticing the dark glare she got.—**Dewshine**

Skyshadow glared at Dewshine and tried to sound as nice as she could. "Hi Dewshine. You need anything?" Skyshadow wanted to get away from any Rainsplashes. Swiftshadow whispered in her ear, "I will see you later." Skyshadow nodded, but they glared again at the cats.--Skyshadow

Dewshine smiled. “Eh, nope. Just wanted to say hi and brighten your day!”—**Dewshine**

Skyshadow mewed as gently as she could. "Thank you for trying Dewshine. But after what Mistystar did, everyone here is a dark shadow. Flamepaw is gone, and Mistystar betrayed me! Only Swiftshadow is the little spark. And I don't think you should be talking to me, your mother wouldn't like it. Everything here is a dark valley full of traitors! Of course you have done nothing wrong." Skyshadow drew her lips back before picking a small mouse for herself.--Skyshadow

Dewshine frowned. “What’s wrong with Mistystar? I mean, I would probably have tried to see better inside of Flamepaw. If she hadn’t killed...”—**Dewshine**

Skyshadow didn't feel hungry anymore. She dropped the mouse back on the pile and snarled, "Don't you cats have ears!? Flamepaw said she was forced to kill Firepaw!" Skyshadow's eyes darkened until they turned almost black. "Mistystar is nothing to me anymore! I thought she would protect Flamepaw, but Mistystar cares only to look good. Not what is best for her Clan and friends. Especially an apprentice that is being judge because she was formerly a rogue." Sadness and anger pierced Skyshadow's heart as she thought of her daughter, so far away........--Skyshadow

Dewshine frowned and stepped away. “Oh.....” she looked to her paws. “Well, me and a Ripplepool had been told we where born to a rogue by many cats. but we are loyal warriors Still. Maybe she can change....”—**Dewshine**

Skyshadow spat, "Flamepaw has been exiled! And the Clan didn't give her a chance. They judged her from the moment they saw her. There is *nothing* that will make the cats see what type Flamepaw is!"--Skyshadow

 (Few weeks/moons later Flame saves the Clans and goes back to WillowClan XD)--Rowan

((Tensions are rising dun dun DUN)) -Hawkblossom

Deashine frowned. “I didn’t judge her.” She murmured.—**Dewshine**

Skyshadow sighed. "Because you are the only cat that has sense and knows to stay out of people's business." Skyshadow wished to sink her claws into Mistystar, her worst enemy.--Skyshadow

Dewshine sighed. “What? Skyshadow, I dont think anyone had judged her—“ she was cut off. “Dewshine. What are you doing?” Rainsplash huffed. Padding over. Dewshine lowered her head. “Erm, I was trying to cheer Skyshadow up. A little.” Rainsplash raised a brow. “Did she tell you anything?” She meowed. Dewshine yawned. “No. Why? What would she tell me?” Rainsplash felt her heart sink. *That I mated with Thornstar’s son. Thornstar killed Graystar. And Brambleheart is your uncle.* She shook the thought and shivered. “Nothing. There’s nothing to tell.”—**Dewshine** **& Rainsplash**

Skyshadow narrowed her eyes at Rainsplash and Dewshine. She muttered, "What a lier! And you call me a traitor!" Outloud she mewed, "I am sorry Dewshine, but I think Rainsplash wants me to leave you alone. But thanks for trying......" Skyshadow glared at Dewshine as she padded away.--Skyshadow

Rainsplash hissed. “Try me. I dare you.” And turned to her nest and stormed off. “What? Was that?” Dewshine asked. She frowned as Skyshadow glared at her.—**Dewshine**

“and that’s all you need to know!” Mitz—Risingdawn smiled. “Happy I could help!” Lynxleap finally knew all it takes to be a warrior. Lynxleap smiled and dipped her head in thanks, then decided to nap in a tree all day. Risingdawn sported Skyshadow. “Skyshadow? You look troubled.”—**Risingdawn**

Skyshadow smiled at her good friend. "I am Risingdawn. But I don't think you can do anything about it......" Skyshadow wished for her daughter, seeing her with that wild spirit in her eyes.--Skyshadow

Risingdawn dipped her head. “I know I won’t help. Though I know you miss Flamepaw. Why hadn’t you joined her?” she asked. “I bet it would make you happier.”—**Risingdawn**

Skyshadow's eyes darkened again. "Because Swiftshadow is here, as well as this was my former mentor's Clan and MINE Clan." Skyshadow deeply growled, "And I never run away from a fight."--Skyshadow

Risingdawn sighed. “But Mistystar is the leader. You made her deputy, right?” She looked to her paws. “I don’t know if I should stay in the clans though. I.... I have a mate.”—**Risingdawn**

Skyshadow pressed against her friend. "You belong her Risingdawn. But I won't force you to stay. Do what you think is right. The Clan voted for Mistystar, I didn't have a choice. And I though Mistystar wouldn't act so cruel."--Skyshadow

Risingdawn sighed. “Skyshadow. Mistystar is trying to lead how she thinks she should! If you don’t agree than reason with her! You can’t keep hissing and snapping at everyone for what Flamepaw did. You never know if she would be lying to stay and kill more! Just think!” She snapped so suddenly. Then turned to take a personal tour of the nursery.—**Risingdawn**

Skyshadow stared shockingly at the she-cat. "Risingdawn, you are taking Mistystar's side!? I thought I could trust you! Maybe you should go back to your mate and think yourself!" Skyshadow stormed to the warrior's den and curled up beside Swiftshadow.--Skyshadow

Risingdawn stopped. “No. I’m on no ones side. But my own. I don’t take orders from anyone but myself. And I think I should tell you I’m expecting kits!” She started padding again.—**Risingdawn**

Skyshadow twitched her ears from the warriors den. "So what? I never bossed you around or anything. I have been there for you until now. And if that is how you want it, then you will get it!"--Skyshadow

Risingdawn sighed. “Skyshadow. I only returned because I thought I could escape it. All the fighting and argument and death. And the rules. Now I have to deal with Mistystar and her harsh ways and you and reason. How do you think I feel with you yelling at me for something I didn’t do? Would it make you feel better if I said Mistystar shouldn’t have banished Flamepaw? Or if, I decided to KILL her!?” She turned. She felt her eyes burn with sadness and anger.—**Risingdawn**

Skyshadow heaved herself out of her best and padded up to Risingdawn. “Risingdawn, I know how hard it must have been for you to lose your mate and have your kits without him. I am sorry you tried to escape the probelms, but I want you to know I tried as well. To escape death, sadness, grief, hatred and more, but it never leaves you. But we can still battle it and stay strong. I am sorry for yelling at you.” Skyshadow didn’t want to lose her friend.—Skyshadow

Risingdawn sighed. “I didn’t lose him. I left him to be here.” She turned. “It’s fine.” And she padded into the nursery along with a sunflower.—**Risingdawn**

Skyshadow narrowed her eyes. *She is not ok. Soon she will be gone too.......I think.* Skyshadow shook the thought away and curled up beside Swiftshadow and Brambleheart.--Skyshadow

Risingdawn sighed as she selected one of the soft feathered nests in the new den. She layer flowers around to help soothe the other queens (Sunflower) and herself. And she decided to get some herbs stored in the den for when she’d have her kits. And she sat close to them.—**Risingdawn**

Risingdawn decided she didn’t want to have her kits in the nursery though. It was getting so close to time she felt weak, she wanted them to be born in a special place. The place where she had her first meeting with StarClan. At the Moonwillow. She exited the den and padded up to Skyshadow, she felt tired but she needed to keep moving. “I’m going to go to the moon willow Skyshadow. I’ll return soon.” And she turned to leave. Herbs in her mouth. She headed towards the pale Willow. StarClan’s light will shine on her kits.—**Risingdawn**

XD Risingdawn was so tired she never head Sky oof)) Later that day, Risingdawn returned. she had two kits in her mouth. She stretched.—**Risingdawn**

(Then I will just take it away lol) Skyshadow stared after her pregnant friend. She shouldn’t be out there alone! But something held her back, like a force. Skyshadow turned and padded back to SwiftShadow.—Skyshadow

Risingdawn smiled as she entered camp. The clan stared at the kits in her mouth. Staring in awe and murmuring joyous messages. Sunflower had mrrowed “aww! So cute!! And Risingdawn met Skyshadow’s eyes.—**Risingdawn**

Skyshadow looked at Risingdawn. She gave the queen a small nod, but then padded out of camp, walking past the Clan cats.—Skyshadow

 SwiftShadow congratulated Risingdawn. “Congrats Risingdawn. They will be fine cats.” SwiftShadow padded away after her sister, letting the other cats say their congrats.—Swiftshadow

Risingdawn dipped her head. “Warriors. You mean.” She added. She took them into the nursery. “Oh kits... if only your father could see you now.” She sighed—Risingdawn

Branchpaw scowled. "I can never get that move right!" He looked up at Dewshine. "Can we try again?" He asked. - Branchpaw

Skychaser was stuck in camp again. His bones were aching. - Skychaser
