TundraClan/2

Driftpaw had caught a skinny, young hare before she raised her head to squint lapis blue eyes up at the sky. She noted that the sun crept lower into the sky, and reminded herself of the planned gathering of apprentices for "fun". In truth, she was hoping she could pawn some of those obnoxious kittens off onto the other apprentices. She missed Tundrastar's rule. The leader was actually sensible. Twitching her ear, the lynx point she-cat decided that she had more time to hunt, so she buried her catch and plodded along in search of more prey. -- Driftpaw

Beekit wanted to play more, but she *did* feel a bit tired, and she didn't want to leave Splashkit, if she was being truthful. "Can I come with you? It's too cold to sleep alone." Beekit shivered and pressed herself into Splashkit's warm fur. --Beekit

"Of course!" She purred. Splashkit curled up in the den and wrapped her tail around Beekit. -- Splashkit

Beekit, being a bit smaller then Splashkit, nestled into Splashkit and closed her eyes. "This feels nice..." She purred drowsily. Her tail was under Splashkit's, and soon, she fell sound asleep. --Beekit

(hey, if y'all haven't already, i'd highly suggest submitting ideas for troutpaw's journey home, as i'm planning to start that in a few days!) Troutpaw watched the sun sink lower into the sky, perking his ears at the sounds of cats slowly settling to rest. *That's when I'll escape. During the night. I'll bury my scent and nobody will find me.* --Troutpaw

Loststar then picked Crashkit up and walked him out of camp.- lost

Crashkit temporarily flailed in the leader's grasp before he glowered up at the dark tom coldly. "I have four legs- I'm capable of walking myself!" -- Crashkit

Lostsar ignored Crashkits tone, "Well i don't suppose you think im gonna let you run off eh?" jhe meowed gruffly. "Wouldnt want that little she-kit you liked to go." he added. "Right Crashkit" - lost

The ash tabby tom bit his lip before he began to grit his teeth at the dark tom's threat. "...No." He forced the words out bitterly, desperate to keep his sister safe. "What do you want?" -- Crashkit

Loststar yawned as he let Crashkit down to follow. "I want your loyalty. you should know id love to have a cat like you here." he stepped over a fallen tree log.- lost

*But I don't want to give you my loyalty.* Crashkit had to hold it in, for the sake of Chestnutkit. He had to be strong, had to be brave for her safety. "You want a satirical furball to make bitter remarks at your every word? I think you've plenty of cats like that already." -- Crashkit

Beekit saw that it was morning, and being the annoying furball she is, she started trying to wake up Splashkit. "Come on!! We gotta play...!" --Beekit

"Eep!" Splashkit tumbled out of the nest. " Beekit! " She said, laughing. She looked up at her friend, a strange feeling inside her. -- Splashkit

Beekit giggled, and bounded out of the den. "C'mon! The sky's awake, so *I'm*awake." (#Frozen) "SO we have to playyyyy!" --Beekit

Splashkit smiled and hopped out of the den, her fur sticking up in all directions. She followed her friend, her tail waving in the air. -- Splashkit

Beekit was bouncing around, barely noticing the pain from old wounds. She was having a fun time, and today was actually fairly warm. "Nothing can ruin this day!" she exclaimed. "You can be the badgers attacking BeeClan!" --Beekit

"Roar! I'm an evil badger!" Splashkit jumped at Beekit playfully. -- Splashkit

"Eek! I will defend my Clan forever!" She squeaked as she batted her away, and began circling and growling playfully. "Take this!" she yowled as she leapt onto her back and began batting at her ears softly. "Go away or I'll use my extreme power to make you go away!" --Beekit

Splashkit felt warm inside. "Oh no! BeeClan is too strong!" Her face felt hot. - - Splashkit

Beekit noticed. "Hey, you okay? Your face feels warm.. Do you need to go to the medicine den?" --Beekit (cOrOnA)

"No, I think I'm okay." She said. " Besides, it's better to be warm here isn't it? " She said lamely. -- Splashkit

Beekit scrunched up her face in confusion. "Uhm.... okay? Let's go hang out in the medicine den! I wanna learn more about herbs!" --Beekit

(alright guys, i'm gonna roll out troutpaw's plot...) It was time. The brown spotted tabby spotted the change in light and quickly gazed around the foreign camp, spotting an entrance, but also... an exit. There was a cat standing there, though, so that was off limits. *Where's the dirtplace...? Maybe I can get out there.*

He proceeded to enter, once he found it, lips curling at the smell of TundraClan dung. *Whatever. They'll think I just had to go use it at this time of night.* He spotted a bush, some distance away, then smirked to himself. *There! Bye, TundraClan scum!*

The apprentice would proceed to slip under the bushes and squeeze outside of the camp, searching for an herb to rub his scent in. *There... some basil, over there. A nice patch of it too.* He quickly approached the patches and walked around in it for a moment before he thought he heard a sound - *TundraClan!* - and quickly shot off towards the forest. --Troutpaw

Driftpaw had given up on hunting after her luck with prey seemed to run dry after the hare. So instead, the lynx point helped herself into a tree, resting in a dying, low-hanging branch. Her mind returned to the previous Gathering, when the apprentices whispered rumors of having a meeting of their own. *That should be some time soon,* the she-cat thought to herself with a small grin. -- Driftpaw

Faintpaw curled into a ball, trying to forget about the pain. --Faintpaw

Eventually, Troutpaw would reach the edge of TundraClan territory, with no idea how to get home, but a gut feeling that told him to cross into the differently-scented area. *No matter what... I have to get home. I must. I can't risk not being there with everything going on - uuuuuugh, Amberdawn is gonna be so mad at me.* With one last glance over his shoulder, the tabby apprentice shot into ThornClan territory. --Troutpaw

Sarge left camp. Rowankit decided to follow him. As he bounded with ease across the rocks, and ground, Rowankit followed him a little more clumsily, but still managed to keep up with him. Sarge turned around and saw the young kit following him. Bristling with annoyance, he picked up his pace. - Sarge and Rowankit

"Wait! Do you want to..." Splashkit frantically looked for something not medicine cat related. "Uh, fake fight?" She blurted. *Nice job, Splashkit. Her heart is set in being a medicine cat.*She thought, and sighed. *As long as she's happy.*-- Splashkit

Beekit argued. "But...." When she saw the desperate look on Splashkit's face though, she relented. "oki. Surprise attack!" She leapt onto Splashkit's back and took her by surprise. "Hehe!" --Beekit

Splashkit rolled over and attempted to shake her off. "Oh no!" She said playfully. -- Splashkit

Beekit tried to jump away, but actually got smushed. "Ack! Splashkit! Get off!" She coughed. --Beekit

"Beekit!" Splashkit quickly got off. "Are you okay?!" She asked , concerned. -- Splashkit

"My leg hurts... We should go to the medicine den!" --Beekit

Splashkit opened her mouth to protest, but nodded. She padded after Beekit into the den. -- Splashkit

Beekit bounced in excitement, but instantly regretted it as a shot of pain traveled down her leg. "Agh.. Glacierpaw? Nevermind, I can fix this mayself!" She went over to the lavender and poppy seeds, swallowing some of both. --Beekit

Faintpaw's breathing was heavy. She tried to calm it down, thinking about something else. *I should go to the medicine cat den! What if this is serious?--*Faintpaw

Splashkit watched as Beekit healed herself. "You're really good at that." She remarked, a hint of sadness in her voice. - - Splashkit

Beekit giggled, oblivious to Splashkit's feelings. "Thanks! I'm gonna be an amazing medicine cat! I can name most of these already. Uhm... Let's see... Juniper berries... marigold.... and dock! I feel sleepy now.." She mewed, the effects of the poppy seeds taking place. --Beekit

Grasskit yawned and padded out of the nursery, just as Beekit was padding in. She mewed "Hi," while Grasskit completely ignored her. He stretched luxuriously and looked around for something to do, when he laid his eyes on a beautiful she-kit. He walked up to her and gave her a smile. "Hey. I'm Grasskit. What's your name?" --Grasskit and Beekit

"I'm Splashkit." She said, smiling, despite Beekit's determination to be a medicine cat. -- Splashkit

Grasskit saw hurt on the she-kit's face. "What's wrong..?" He inquired. --Grasskit

"Oh, nothing!" Splashkit quickly said. "It's just, a little cold here, you know?" She laughed nervously. -- Splashkit

Grasskit looked down. "Oh.. sorry for pressing. Wanna maybe... do something together, Splashkit?" He asked nervously. --Grasskit

"Sure!" Splashkit responded. Her eyes flicked to Beekit for a second, but she looked away and walked beside Grasskit. -- Splashkit

Grasskit felt happy inside, much happier then he had felt in a while. He grabbed a mossball and started throwing it back and forth between him and Splashkit. "C'mon! I/m gonna win!" He laughed. "Can't get it pas- Oof!" He had tripped, and was now staring up at an up-side-down Splashkit. "Hehe.. I... uhh... meant to do that." --Grasskit

Splashkit stared at him for a second, and then laughed, surprisingly. "You're so funny." She whacked the mossball back at him with her tail. - -Splashkit

"Eep! That's not fair, I wasn't ready!" He chuckled, then batted it back at her. They did that for about a half hour, before deciding to play something else. "Whew! What do you wanna play now Splashkit?" He asked. --Grasskit

Splashkit grinned. "Attack!" She leaped at Grasskit, and batted his tail. -- Splashkit

"I'm gonna defeat you!" He declared, and flipped her gentely onto the ground, before leaping onto her her and fake hitting her with his soft kit-fluffed paws. "Haha! Surrender, or be stuck down by the might Grassstar!" --Grasskit

"Oh no! Grassstar is so powerful! Too bad he's no match for Splashstar!" She whacked his side softly. - - Splashkit

"Oh no! You have struck me down, I must retreat!" He rolled off, laughing and running away, Splashkit hard on his tail. --Grasskit

Splashkit faced after him, giggling. -- Splashkit

"Nu! You'll never catch me!" He cried out, before tripping and giving Splashkit the perfect oppurtunity to leap on him from behind. --Grasskit

Splashkit leapt on top of him. "Aha!" She squeaked . -- Splashkit

"Nooo! I need to save myself from this unstoppable leader! Splashstar is too powerful!" Grasskit fell over, pretending to die valiantly. "Hehe... You beat me!" --Grasskit

Loststar grinned. "I've seen you, better than most of those beebrained kits and my own useless warriors. it should be easy for you to follow orders especially when this precious Chestnut of yors is on the line. Right, Crashkit?"-lost

The ash tabby tomkit curled a lip when he went on about having his sister as captive. "No need to rub it in." Crashkit mumbled underneath his breath before he puffed out his chest, as if challenging Loststar once again. "Fine then- let's get it over with." -- Crashkit

Loststar yawned. "Splended." and then added. "You kits shall start your apprentice training tomorrow against each other. of age or not, show no weakness." he meowed gruffly turning to go back to camp expecting Crashkit to follow.-lost

"I wanna go home..." Chestnutkit whimpered, sure this was an adventure she thought she'd like, but it isnm't fun anymore, she wanted to go home, be with her parents and Flurrykit with Crashkit. Why'd it all have to escape her grasp?-Chestnut

Crashkit looked in the opposite direction of where Loststar walked, contemplating his escape. *I could be free.* It was tempting, but he hesitated because of his sister. *He would kill her before I could find any help...* The ash tabby sunk his claws into the earth out of frustration before slowly turning and obediently following the leader with his teeth gritted. -- Crashkit

Chestnutkit dashed up to her brother as he and Loststar entered camp. "Crashkit! I'm scared, i wanna go home... Do you think Foxstar's gonna save us? Would Momma and Dad save us?" Baykit felt her heart break for her friend. would her father save her? Maybe her plan would work... Itr had to, WillowClan could help. She looked around and dashed to Beekit. "I have an escape plan."- Chestnut & Bay

He felt his heart twist in his chest. He didn't know what he was supposed to tell his sister- run? Don't run? If the elements didn't kill her when she got lost in the territory, the warriors sent to hunt her down surely would. But if she stayed...she'd be forced into battle training. At least, only if Loststar saw her worthy. "Forget it," Crashkit decided under his breath with a mumble. "None of us know this blasted territory." -- Crashkit

Faintpaw tried to dismiss her thoughts but they kept bugging her. --Faintpaw

Chestnutkit felt her growing anger bubble. "Why? Why are you all of a sudden hopeless for this place? It's like you don't wanna escape at all! And, and like you don't wanna try!" She cried. she looked away, Why was he draining her last hope away? They were gonna escape... right? She huffed as she then retreated to where Baykit went, maybe she could save Crashkit this time. If he didn't wanna save her. - Chestnut

"Darkstorm and Bubblesplash, reinforce the camp. TundraClan warriors are to be devided into hunting and fighting with a guard by their side the whole time." Whiterose commanded.-White

Splashkit laid down next to Grasskit. "What do you want your warrior name to be?" She asked. - - Splashkit

Faintpaw frowned again but her face ached. She decided that she had to go to the medicine cat den. --Faintpaw

Grasskit giggled. "Well... Grasstangle has a nice ring to it, don't ya think? What about yours? Splash.... fern? Splashfur? Oh I know! Splashgrass! Hehehe...." --Grasskit

"Ooh! Those are all good. I was thinking about it. I like Splashfern and Splashgrass." Splashkit said. - - Splashkit

"Yeah... Maybe choose one for me! I can't wait to become a warrior with you and Beekit! Beekit is super nice, don't ya think?" --Grasskit

Sadness flashed in Splashkit's eyes for a second. "Yeah, she is nice. But so are you!" - - Splashkit

"Hey... are you okay? When I mentioned Beekit, you got a bit sad.. why?" He stroked her back soothingly with his fluffy tail. He curled up closer to Splashkit and began licking her head in calming, rhythmic strokes of his tongue. "It's okay..." He murmured. --Grasskit

Splashkit purred. "I don't know, she just seems... " She drifted off. -- Splashkit

*Seems what..?* Grasskit wasn't an idiot, he knew Splashkit liked Beekit, and this tore him apart. Beekit is very nice, and if Grasskit couldn't be with Splashkit one day, he would want Beekit to be with her because he knew she would treat her right. "Gosh, I sound so mature..." He mumbled under his breath. He didn't notice Beekit coming up from behind him, until she whispered "Boo!" in his ear and made him jump. Beekit giggled. "Sorry if I scared you too bad. You just looked kinda lonely, so I wanted to talk to you! You're friends with Splashkit now, right?" Beekit squeaked, oblivious to the young tom's feelings. --Grasskit and Beekit

Fine. If Beekit didn't wanna listen to Baykit's heroic plan she'd leave this place on her own. She padded to one of the queens. "Do you know where we get our water?" she asked shyly and fakely. Irismoon huffed before sighing. "from the river." flicking her tail in the deircation before sleeping again. Baykit swiftly broke through the nursery brambles even if thorns pricked her pelt and she dashed to where the queen had pointed, aware that a warrior was chasing her, she dashed quicker and at the edge of the water she stopped. Wondering about Chestnutkit. speaking of- "Baykit?" - Bay & Chestnut

He didn't know what to tell his littermate. What was he supposed to do- tell Chestnutkit about how Loststar planned to slaughter or torture her if he didn't comply to the training? "You wouldn't understand," Crashkit decided with a small growl before turning and settling at the edge of camp. -- Crashkit

*Oh no-* " What?" She meowed quickly. "please don't go." Chestnutkit frowned. "Crashkit is acting wierd and you're like the only cat i really know-" *You don't know me.* Baykit grumbled before sighing. "Fine." She too would miss Chestnutkit, and leaving she'd know she wouldn't leave without her brother. and she didn't even know her father. She sighed. "But if one thing goes wrong and i end up killing someone, i'm out." She meowed strictly as they returned to the camp in the jaws of Whiterose. - Bay & Chestnut

Faintpaw stood up again, struggling. Her legs wobbled and she found it hard to keep herself steady. --Faintpaw

Crashkit sat in the corner of camp with his ears angled backwards to communicate his general displeasure. He glared hard at the earth surrounding his paws, allowing his claws to sink into the hardened dirt. *Our only hope rests in the very clans that seem to refuse to help us...* The kitten thought to himself as a bitter growl rose in his throat. -- Crashkit

Splashkit looked up at Grasskit. "Sorry if this is too personal, but... Do you have parents?" - - Splashkit

Grasskit looked away, not saying anything. --Grasskit

Splashkit clamped her mouth shut. "I'm sorry." She said quietly . -- Splashkit

Grasskit squeezed his eyes shut, trying to block back the tears. "I.. I never knew my parents.." He mumbled quietly, wrapping his bushy tail around his small figure. --Grasskit

Crashkit sulked to himself for several moments before he glanced hesitantly towards the leader's den. He knew that Loststar was far from being done with him. So, when were they to be tossed into relentless training? *How can all the others just play around camp, so oblivious to the doom they're about to face? Have they forgotten the danger we're in?* -- Crashkit

Beekit giggled and bounced around, in her own world. She often didn't know what she was doing, but she always wanted to keep high spirits. She was afraid not to. She was afraid of... losing. She was afraid to lose her friends. And she wanted to be there for Splashkit, for Shykit, Baykit, Crashkit, and all of the others that were wrongfully taken from their homes. She would make sure they *all* get out, even if it kills her. She smiled, ready to take on the quiet responsiblility of caring for them, and continued to bounce around. --Beekit

Loststar yawned as he appeared from his den. "Finally i can get more, lets say inteligant, warriors from the ally." He then added. "Whiterose, get the training started, i want to see thise new apprentices in lines and flighting each other when i return, and send more patrols, we need to feed all these kits and warriors." He meowed gruffly as Rivergaze appeared. "She declines your alliance." She meowed. Loststar chuckled. "Don't worry. She is just about to accept. You and Sleet will come with me. Sycamore is about to pay her debt. - Lost

Crashkit's eyes darted to the small amount of movement he detected across camp. He noticed Shykit shuffling by the edges of camp, looking nervous per usual. *He's not going to survive here with this training.* -- Crashkit

Swirlkit gulped, she was more concerned for Shykit. "Don't worry, i'm scared too...." She mumbled to him, she was barily his size, as she was..... not that old. She can say. - Swirlkit

Snowkit shivered at the image of her white fur tinted with blood. - Snowkit

Back at camp, Rowankit looked up at Loststar, bitterly. She didn’t want to train with this piece of fox-dung! - Rowankit

Beekit skipped up to Loststar. Surely he couldn't be too bad? Maybe he just needed a friend! If she befriended him, he would let the kits go. "Hello, Loststar!" She squeaked. - Beekit

Loststar raised a brow. "If i were you, i'd suggest staying out of my way. Get ready for training. there is a chance of blood." He then swiped her away and continued his pad with Sleet and Rivergaze to his sides, giving eachother a glare. - Lost

Rowankit hissed audibly at Loststar. She knew she should probably keep her mouth shut, but she just couldn’t. “You evil cat! You belong in the Dark Forest!” She growled. - Rowankit

Loststar shrugged but didn't turn her way. "Well sweetheart, we just don't get what we want. I'd much rather be there and maybe i'll be able to haunt you." He dared, though he flicked his tail and Whiterose lunged at Rowankit, tossing the kit. "Kits. You all shall now have your name end in 'paw, and your training starts here." - White

Shykit didn't even seem to hear the kit who spoke to him, instead he was focused on the leader and Whiterose as they made their presence(s) known. He found them horrifying, how they walked around so confidently, set on ruining the lives of kits. Would he die before he even began to live? -- Shykit

Crashkit kept a straight face in the presence of his enemies. Already, Loststar knew one of his weaknesses: Chestnutkit. The leader was all-too eager to use her against him. He couldn't show any other weakness. He couldn't let Loststar win. -- Crashkit

Beekit yelped. Her face stung where Loststar had hit her, but she still refused to give up. She walked back up to him and said, "You can't get rid of me that easy, Loststar." She looked straight into his eyes. "And I won't fight my friends. You can't make me!" - Beekit

Whiterose laughed. "Then i guess you'll need to die, it's too sad you'll turn out to be a bad warrior." Whiterose then grinned as she then pricked her ears as Finchkit leaped onto Snowkit and hissed. "Get off me mousebrain!" Snowkit shrieked, "You're my sister!" Snowkit yelped as she was thrown at Whiterose's paws. "Well done, Finch*paw*." Whiterose remarked, "Why don't you go take on that small piece of dung over there?" Whiterose spat to Beekit, looking to Shykit. she thyen caught Chestnutkit at the corner of her eye and grinned, then turning and pouncing on the she-kit. - White

Beekit blood turned to ice when she saw Finchkit coming towards her, but she tried to look like she wasn't bothered. "Y-yeah, but I don't w-wanna be a warrior for *you."* She spat. She moved backwards as Finchkit came closer, before she took off running, dodging under cats paws and using her size to her advantage. "Heh, can't catch me, slowpoke!" She yelled behind her cheekily, somehow turning this into a game. - Beekit

Sarge bared his teeth, and whacked Beekit away, while tearing a huge gash in her side. “Try and survive *that*, you filthy kit.” He hissed, unsheathing his claws. - Sarge

"Ack!" Beekit flew back, blood gushing from her flank. Her side burned horrendously and she screamed. "*Aghhhhhhhhh!!* ​*- Beekit*

Sarge grinned. - Sarge

Beekit's entire body hurt. She was gasping for air, and the blood wouldn't stop flowing. "He-elp.." She coughed weakly. *I.. I can*t die. I have too much to do. I need to... save... the k-kits... ​*She thought this, and strength found its way into her limbs. It wasn't much, but she was able to breathe easier now. "You'll... have to t-t-try har-arder... then th-that. to k-kill me..." - Beekit*

Immediately, Crashkit changed gears from sulking to rushing into a full-grown cat to attempt to intercept Whiterose's attack on his sister, Chestnutkit. "We had a deal!!" The ashy tabby tom spat with his lips curled into a ruthless snarl. -- Crashkit

Sarge grinned as the medicine cat scooped up the young kit as she passed out. - Sarge

"Beekit!" Splashkit shrieked. She ran over to her friend. -- Splashkit

Beekit blinked awake, her head aching and cloudy. Her flank was plastered with marigold and cobwebs, but it *hurt*. She saw a blurry Splashkit running at her. "Spasskip?" She said deliriously. She laid her head down, her vision crossing and blurring. *I lost a lot of blood, these symptoms are normal. I should get my vision back soon, but my headache is most likely here to stay until I can make up for the loss of blood.* Beekit already knew what was wrong and how long it would be to fix it. This made her even more sure she wanted to be a medicine cat. Just then she felt a sudden pain in her side as a mound of fur barreled into her. "Reawy, Spasskip?" - Beekit

Even the bargains need to train, don't worry, we won't kill her. but you-" Pain stabbed her eye making her yowl, "Augh!" She leaped away as Chestnutkit plopped before her brother, blood from stabbing Whiterose's eye on one of her paws, "I'm scared!" she cried to him as she felt herself be slapped away, this was brutal and she couldn't escape this time. - Chestnut

"Leave them alone you hidious ball of feathers!" Baykit leaped to Chestnutkit's defence and pounced on Finchkit, her attacker, claws and teeth shown as they tumbled, splatting blood around the clearing ending with Baykit on Finchkit, ready to deliver a final blow before Chestnutkit pushed her off. "NO! Stop!" - Bay

"Snap out of it Beekit!" Splashkit said frantically. "What herb do you need me to get for you?" *Even though I don't know any medicine.* -- Splashkit

Beekit rolled her eyes. "I daht neeb herbs. I neeb resh." She finished this just as Grasskit bounded in. He landed right next to Splashkit. "Oop- H-Hey.. Splashkit. And Beekit." He got up, glancing at Splashkit every few seconds. - Beekit + Grasskit

"Oh.. Okay." Splashkit turned around, and blushed slightly. "Hey, Grasskit." Suddenly the medicine den felt extremely awkward. -- Splashkit

Grasskit looked down. "I hope Beekit'll be alri-" Grasskit was cut off by a blood curdling scream from Beekit. "Oh my gosh, Beekit are you alright?!" Grasskit whipped around and saw Beekit backing against the nest and staring with a terror-stricken expression at... nothing? She was staring at the wall! Meanwhile, Beekit could see a shadow dripping with blood... no, *her* blood. She could see her body laying at the shadow's feet, torn apart and in a huge puddle of blood. The shadow got closer.. and closer.. until it swallowed her. She began kicking around, writhing in pain and pure *fear. -* Beekit + Grasskit

Splashkit looked at her friend in horror. "What's happening?" She cried. She dove in front of Beekit. "Beekit! Calm down! It's me!" - - Splashkit

All Beekit could see was darkness, and a she could smell blood. She could hear shrieks of pain and terror. She screamed again. "Noooo! Help me!! It's so dark! S-So much blood..." She was stuck in the darkness.. but wait. Was that Splashkit? "Splashkit! Over he- wait... look out! No!" The shadow snuck up behind Splashkit and swallowed her, like it had to her. "No..." She could see Grasskit, Splashkit, Baykit, Shykit, and everyone around her, their eyes hollowed out and blood flowing from them, pooling around their disfigured paws. She shrieked yet again. "Go away!! Leave me alone!!!" - Beekit

Crashkit defensively stood at Chestnutkit's side with a prepared, wide stance as he glared daggers in Whiterose's direction. He was still a kit, but he had grown. Was he a threat to an adult? Of course not- but that wouldn't prevent him from doing irrational things in order to protect his sister. -- Crashkit

Shykit staggered back into the depths of the nursery, hoping that the background would just absorb him into their depths, swallow him up so everyone would forget about him. The scenes around him were *horrifying*, leaving the tortoiseshell tom to shiver. -- Shykit

*Need to save them! Wait, I need to get back to Frostpaw!* Wildpaw feld his anger mild as he then realized he knew where the sea was, he knew, "Anyone wanna escape now?!" he yowled, "I know a way!" He just needed to make a run for it, all it'll take, he needed to run to the river and follow it, even if running would waste his breath. - Wildpaw

Whiterose hissed and flicked her tail. "Not bad oh precious one." She sneered. Then looking to Darkstorm as the strong tom ame from behind and gripped Chestnutkit's scruff. "Hold on now and this'll be easy." HE snapped through a mouth of fur. - Dark

"Beekit!" Splashkit pressed against Beekit, and began licking her fur. "See? It's just me! No need to go insane!" She said, trying to calm her down, but failing miserably, as she was nowhere near calm. - - Splashkit

Beekit started breathing eaiser, and the darkness began to fade. But she was still shaking a lot, and her eyes looked haunted. "Spl-splashk-kit...? Is.. it g-gone?" - Beekit

Splashkit ran her tail down Beekit's back. "Yes, it's gone. It can't hurt you." *What happened? What's it?* Splashkit wondered. -- Splashkit

"It... it swallowed you... and all the kits... they... their eyes... all the blood." she sobbed, her voice cracking pitifully. "Wh-why....? Did I do som-something wr-wrong..?" She squeezed next to Splashkit, terrified, burying her face in her fur, inhaling Splashkit's scent. It was comforting... but she was still afraid. - Beekit

*Continuing from main roleplay, Pebblekit and Frostpaw have made it to TundraClan territory! They will hopefully find Sleet...*

"Ugh, this endless 'snow' thing is so annoying. Makes it hard to walk. Should we pause and take a rest?" -Pebblekit

"Oh Beekit... You didn't do anything wrong. Me and all the kits are fine, there's no blood." She licked the top of Beekit's head. "We'll be out of here soon, and you'll get to see everyone back home." - - Splashkit

Tired and weary, Pebblekit settled down. "I could sure use a meal right about now..." Pebble

Beekit still trembled, but she felt calmer. "You sure..? I'm safe... And I do wanna go home! Is there anyone you wanna see back home?" - Beekit

Frostpaw laughed. "C'mon, I'll show you how to hunt." She sniffed the air, and spotted a vole nibbling a seed. She motioned for him to watch her. "Like this." She got into a hunters crouch, and snuck up slowly, keeping hjer tail close to ground, but not directly on the ground. She leapt onto the vole and killed it with a swift bite to the neck. "Dig in, Pebblekit!" - Frostpaw

Splashkit thought for a moment. "Frostpaw, and, and... " she was lost for words. She blushed and looked down. -- Splashkit

"No, you take it Frostpaw. I'll catch my own,¨ Pebblekit replied, unable to take the prey that wasn't his. Heading into the forest, he spotted a rabbit. Chasing after it, he paused as he picked up an unfamiliar scent. He turned back and saw a fox, grabbing Frostpaw's vole in it's jaws. "Hey, come back here!" he exclaimed as it took off. He chased after it- Pebble

Frostpw saw the fox take the vole. But what made her blood turn to ice was the sight of Pebblekit running after it. Suddenly, the fox turned and leapt onto Pebblekit. She yowled. "No!!" She raced faster, and shoved him out of the way just in for the jaws to come down. All of a sudden a piercing wave of pain came from her tail. "Aghhh!!!" she screamed. She whipped around and clawed the fox, but when it didn't let go, she did the next best thing; she clawed the tip of her tail off, blood and fur spraying onto the fox. The fox was obviously a young one, because it yelped and fled. - Frostpaw

Pebblekit gasped. *No... is she going to die? I won't let her.* "Frostpaw?! Are you ok?!"-pebble

Frostpaw's tail burned like fire, but she stuffed it into the snow and the pain soon subsided. "I'm freezing the wound. Alright, I'm trusting you to go find food. Can you do it?" - Frostpaw

"Ok!" Pebblekit exclaimed. "Whatever you need, I'll get for you. Don't worry, you'll be fine in no time! But first, let me get you back to the shelter." He dragged Frostpaw all the way back to the igloo (:3 hehe), and carefully eased her in, before recovering her wound with more snow. "I'll be back soon," he reassured. Pebblekit headed out into the forest, hoping to find some more prey, but less foxes. He eventually came across a plump rabbit, and attempted to copy Frostpaw, crouching down, before springing up and biting the rabbit. *I did it!* he exclaimed excitedly in his head. Heading back to Frostpaw, he dropped it in front of her. "Eat up!" he said. -Pebble

Frostpaw was amazed at how capable Pebblekit was. She beckoned him in and together they shared the rabbit. She was excited. They were so close to Splashkit, and to Wildpaw... She had missed him like crazy. She knew that she still loved him... - Frostpaw

Pebblekit sighed, he was so filled up. He dozed off next to Frostpaw. -Pebblekit

Beekit dozed off, twitching like crazy, the demon obviously haunting her dreams. - Beekit

Splashkit stood up. She padded out of camp quietly, yelling, "I'm going for a walk" over her shoulder. She dove through the trees, coming into a clearing. Suddenly, a flash of movement caught her eye. White fur? "Frostpaw?!" She sputtered . -- Splashkit

Frostpaw wanted to walk around, even though her tail still stung really bad. Then she heard her... "Splashkit?!" Frostpaw leapt onto Splashkit, laughing. "It's really you!" - Frostpaw

Pebblekit was roused awake by Frostpaw's laughter. *What's going on?* he thought. He froze as he saw another cat. Quietly, he observed Frostpaw appearing friendly with the stranger.*"*Hi, I'm Pebblekit! Who are you?" he asked. - Pebblekit

Frostpaw laughed again. "This is Splashkit! She was my friend in SeaClan.. but then she got taken. C'mon, we gotta get out of here!" - Frostpaw

"Oh. Well, it's nice to meet you, but aren't there more SeaClan cats here?" -Pebble

Frostpaw's eyes lits up. Oh yeah!! I was so excited, I almost forgot! Let's go svae them!" - Frostpaw

Wildpaw shook hsi head before making a run for it, "AAAAH!" he screeched as he felt claws on his tail, making him run faster but stubby legs didn't help. Darkstorm dashed hbehind him, the large tom was catching up to him until Wildpaw skidded to a hault before.... "Frostpaw?" - Wildpaw

"Wildpaw!!!" Frostpaw leapt onto Darkstorm, trying to detach his claws from Wildpaw. She managed to get him free, but know she was at the wrath of Darksotrm. "Uhm.... hey?" she mewed meekly. - Frostpaw

"Hey! I'm Pebblekit, who are you?" Pebblekit asked. -Pebble

Darkstorm sank his fangs into Frostpaw's shoulder and threw her back, then pouncing on Wildpaw, "HEY!" Wildpaw hissed, "You all were foolish to come here! And for this, you will die of your mistake!" Darkstorm anounced. - Wildpaw

Pebblekit grimanced. Frostpaw had already gotten hurt badly today, he wasn't looking forward to seeing what would happen if it repeated. Jumping in front of her and... Wildpaw, he remembered. "Bet you can't catch me!" he taunted, running across the tundra like a fish in water. -Pebblekit

Frostpaw yowled in pain, blood pouring from her shoulder. But the wound wasn't too bad, and she was alright to fight. She leapt onto Darkstorm's back, claws unsheathed. "Get off of him!!! She yelled. She was clawing his spine visciously, feeling her sharp claws scrape the bone and relishing his yowl of pain. - Frostpaw

Darkstorm hissed and staggered back, "Fools! You've dragged SeaaClan into this, let the shadows line your path!" HE cursed before turning and dashing back to the camp. - Darkstorm

Wildpaw leaped up and dashed to Frostpaw. "Frostpaw! Are you okay? Why did you come here!? You could've died! Why do you have a kit with you? A willowClan kit?" He was racing with questions before looked to Pebblekit, did she save HIM? a WillowClan cat?! jealousy lined his fur. - Wildpaw

"You little-" Pebblekit seethed. "This isn't over! I'll be back, to murder you!" He quieted down, realizing that Frostpaw needed more attention than Darkstorm. "Are you ok?" he asked, ignoring the glares from Wildpaw. *Why is HE* *upset at ME?* he thought -Pebble

Frosypaw was overwhelmed by the two toms so she yelled "Just shut up, both of you." She turned to Wildpaw, looking into his eyes, and licked his cheek. "I missed you.." She murmured. - Frostpaw

Wildpaw sighed, "it was horrible, i still can't belive they mistook me for a kit! I was in the apprentices den! Oh... I'm sorry i couldnt get back sooner." SOoner so he could stop Pebblekit from taking her... "How's stormytide? How's everyone?" - Wild

*I better back off, so Wildpaw stops glaring... but I want to know if Frostpaw is ok! Oh, well.* Pebblekit quietly stepped away, and he realized how far he had come. But something inside his stomach was twitching like crazy. -Pebble

Splashkit nuzzled against Frostpaw. "We should save all the SeaClan kit s, and I have a friend, his name's Grasskit, you should meet him! " --Splashkit

Wildpaw sighed, "But we need to get past the guards, lets just say we all hate them." He sighed. "I found a hole in the dirtplace, but Darkstorm probably told the rest of the clan about this..." He wondered. "We'll need reinforcements." - Wild

Baykit hissed and stood protectively by Chestnutkit where Darkstorm had left her. "You need to fight!" She urged. "But i dont wanna." Chestnutkit frowned. "The others wanna, and were forced!" - Bay

Frostpaw giggled. "A "friend", huh? Is he cute?" she teased. "I missed you guys..." She was so happy to be back with them that she barely noticed Pebblekit away from them, and she saw Wildpaw casting glares at him. "Wildpaw...? Why are you staring like that at Pebblekit like that?" - Frostpaw

"I missed you too." Splashkit purred. "And yes, he's cute. And Beekit is nice too!" - -Splashkit

Wildpaw narrowed his eyes and ignored the question. "We have kits to save, remember?" He meowd, "We need a plan." -Wild

Frostpaw looked down. "Listen, if you have a problem with Pebblekit just tell -Ohhh... You think he's stealing me away from you. Well for your information, I don't belong to you, or to Pebblekit. I am my own cat, and I don't *need* to be with either of you. I can protect myself." - Frostpaw

Wildpaw bit a sharp remark. "Can we just focus on the kits? I'm tired fo waiting!" He spat angrily. what did she expect him to say sorry for his feelings? he turned and started to pad towards the TundraClan camp. - Wild

"I don't like her like that!" Pebblekit groaned. "You guys *really* need to get recoordinated." He rolled his eyes, apalled that Wildpaw thought of him in such regard. -Pebble

Frostpaw hissed. "Fine. C'mon guys." She made sure Splashkit and Pebblekit was following her, and they set off, Wildpaw and Frostpaw staying away from each other. Frostpaw didn't expect their reunion to be like this. But if Wildpaw wanted to disrespect her, saying *Pebblekit is stealing me away from him*, when they didn't even have feelings for each other - Frostpaw

Wildpaw grumbled as he loomed behind the nursery, "Irismoon, we need your help, gather the seaclan kits and grasskit and we can go." he whiskered to the queen. Irismon hissed. "What about the others!?" - Iris

Frostpaw hissed. "We need to get *all* the kits out! We can't just leave them here to die! If you don't want to, I'll get them out myself..." - Frostpaw

Wildpaw hissed. "You think i'm a brainless slime? I KNOW THAT!" He spat, "and we'll need a destraction." HE growled. though an agonizing screech made his ears prick and eyes widen as he peered through the brambles.... Finckit had Swirlkit in her jaws, blood lining her lips and the kit, he staggered back. "Stay here until they're all gone." He instructed, ruffling his pelt as he then leaped into the center of camp, "Na na na boo boo you can't cat mne you stupid guppys!" he hissed as darkstorm and Whiterose chased after him out of the camp. - Wild

"What is that idiot doing?!" Pebblekit groaned. "He's gonna get himself killed!" *Forget about him, we need to get more kits out of here.* -Pebble

Frostpaw darted in, first to the medicine den, grabbing a kit that looked pretty scared and injured, and dropping them by Splashkit. She then looked around for any more kits that needed her help. - Frostpaw

"What do you think you're doing?" the white tom griped Splashkit and Frostpaw by the scruff. Sleet hissed and threw them across camp. "you might've foold them, but not me. ol' Sleet has tricks up his sleeve." He hissed. - Sleet

"Let go of us!" Splashkit protested. She kicked her hind legs against Sleet's face, and battered his side with her paws. -- Splashkit

Sleet staaggered and bit hard into Splashkit's scruff, throwing her back, he then looked to the kit and scented willowclan as he slapped the kit away, "WillowClan scrap!" HE announced. - Sleet

Frostpaw groaned, and saw Pebblekit and Splashkit yowling at a cat. She got up, her shoulder aching. She ran to protect Splashkit. - Frostpaw

Splashkit took a deep breath. Her scruff hurt, so she stuck it in the snow. It wasn't completely healed, but it didn't hurt as much. -- Splashkit

Frostpaw tried to hang on, but she got thrown off into a rock, and she could dazedly see Sleet stalking towards her, his claws out. - Frostpaw

Sleet raised his paw ready to slash at Frostpaw, (Sleet and Pebble moment?) - Sleet

"Dewshine? What do *you* know about my mother, you filthy bastard?!" Pebblekit growled, claws unsheathed. He attacked recklessly, tearing into the tom's fur. -Pebble (ive been trying, but EDIT CONFLICTS, 10 in a row no kidding)

(sry) Sleet paused. "Your mother? She had kits?" he paused. "you have siblings? what did she say about your father" he demanded. - sleet

Frostpaw's body hurt, but she wasn't ready to die. She rolled away at the last moment, feeling his paw tear into the edge of her pelt. She got and faced him. - Frostpaw

"Out of the way, Frostpaw. You've had enough," he turned back to the tom. "Nothing, about my father! She was killed! Probably by you, given your evil personality! And, yeah, i have siblings. But one is dead, thanks to the one who killed Dewshine! The whole reason I'm here is to look for my father!" -Pebble

Frostpaw wanted to keep fighting, but she could see that this was between them. She went to go help up Splashkit, then realized... *Where's Wildpaw? He should be back by now!!!* - Frostpaw

Sleet hissed. "I didn't kill her, i was right here. I loved her. She didn't return to our meetings, she dismissed me like soggy prey because of the stupid warriors code. She never told me she was expecting kits." He growled. "I knew i should've stayed with her." he clawed the earth. "you've found your father kit. you're liiking at him." - Sleet

Wildpaw tripped as he tumbled downhilll with Whiterose at his side and Darkstorm on his back, letting out a shriek as his scruff was bloody and he'd been thrown into the icy river, feeling his paws numben he tried to paddle out as he felt a paw on his head. Whiterose pushed it under the water. "get back to camp Darkstorm." - White

Frostpaw tore out of camp, following the scent trail until she reached the river and saw Wildpaw being drowned. She let out a screech and flung herself on top of Whiterose. "Let him go!!!!" She shrieked. She saw WIldpaw get onto the bank, and she continued to bite and claw Whiterose's back, staying out of reach of her claws and teeth. - Frostpaw

(ive had atleast 20 conflicts 2day) Pebblekit gasped. "Y-you? What do you mean? A few seconds ago, you were brutal and ruthless! Now you expect me to forgive you?" He raised his paw to attack once more, but couldn't bring it down. *is he really my father?* -Pebble

Splashkit stood up shakily. "Beekit? Grasskit? Where are you?" She called. - - Splashkit

Sleet barked. "no. I've given up family long ago. Darkstorm was the worst sibling a cat could have." he sneered. "i'd suggest you leave now before i kill your friend here." he looked to Splashkit. - Sleet

Whuiterose pushed Wildpaw downstream and slashed at Frostpaw's throat. Then turning. "i have no time for foolish apprentices. "She anounced, padding back to camp.

Wildpaw felt his vision fade as he was low on breath and was afloat down the icy stream. - Wild & White

Frostpaw shot down the bank, rushing after Wildpaw. She leapt in, barely noticing the icy shock. She grabbed his scruff, and worked towards the bank. She hauled him up, and lay there panting, just now seeing the blood seeping from a slit in the side of her throat. The adrenaline began wearing off and... she had never been in so much pain before. She dragged herself to some snow, and layed down it, using the snow to clot the bleeding.- Frostpaw

"You wouldn't..." Pebblekit gasped. *Wait... I could trick him...* "I know who killed Dewshine! But I'm never gonna tell you, unless you drop Splashkit and let us free!" -Pebble

Frostpaw coughed hoarsely, her neck burning. "These cats are ruthless... What are we gonna do...?" - Frostpaw

Sleet rolled his eyes. "You're lying. trypical. yo dais someone killed her before and assumed it was me. i have memory you know." he spat. "Get out of here or stay here and fight like the rest of these kits!" he yowled. sadness made his fur bristle. This was what he had to do. - Sleet

Pebblekit laughed, then smirked. "You *really* think I would stay here? You should expect more from your... *son*. Clearly, there is no hope for you. Do you really wish to choose to be this way? Oh, wait, sorry, I forgot. You like ruthlessly murdering kits and hurting them until their blood bleeds. Right? RIGHT? ANSWER ME NOW!" -Pebble

Sleet fluffed out his chest. "You think i really wanna hurt my son? You think i'm showing mercy for nothing?" he spat before Darkstorm leaped onto him, hissing, "Your son brother? No one told me you had my nephew!" he hised then looking to Pebblekit, "a great addition to these worthless kits!" he gritted his teeth. - Dark

Splashkit quietly walked away. Once she was far enough, she signed with relief. "Frostpaw? Beekit? Grasskit? Where are you?" She cried, growing desperate . -- Splashkit

Seeing this was his chance, Pebblekit bolted as fast as he could, until he saw a battered Frostpaw. "No! Frostpaw!" He raced over, desperate to check on her. "Are you ok? Can you move? We need to get out of here, Darkstorm and my fat- Sleet, I mean, are coming fast!" He tried to drag Frostpaw, but it was too slow. Then, he saw Splashkit racing over. "Hey, over here! We need to drag Frostpaw out of here!" -Pebble

Frostpaw hissed. "Get Wildpaw! I can walk on my own!" She pulled away from him, pain coursing through her veins, but she didn't care. "We can't get far... the best thing is to.... to... go to TundraClan." - Frostpaw

Sleet slashed at his brother's throat, "Leave him alone you worthless scrap! What if i killed Smoke and Tabby?" he spat, Darkstorm narrowed his eyes. "My kits." he spat in a laugh. "they mean nothing to me! You mean nothing to me! this is the day i will finally get a chance to kill my brother once and for all!" - **Darkstorm**

"No! We can't go back there, it's full of ruthless murderers!" Pebblekit replied, astonished that Frostpaw would suggest that. -Pebble

"I'm surprised you even listened. After all, I'm just your plaything." She growled and narrowed her eyes. "You and Wildpaw keep bickering and bickering. You were willing to leave Wildpaw to die! You both are so immature..." - Frostpaw

*Immature? Plaything? Really?* Pebblekit thought. "*You're* the one who decided to come with me! And did I ever say for a second I cared about you like the way Wildpaw does? No! You're right about one thing! And that's *nothing at all.* Drag yourself out of here. Clearly, you don't want help. C'mon, Splashkit. We need to drag Wildpaw out of there." -Pebble

Splashkit nodded. Keeping quiet, she grabbed hold of Wildpaw's scruff and pulled. -- Splashkit

Without a seconds doubt, Pebblekit kept walking without turning back, and he saw Splashkit dragging up Wildpaw. "He better be ok..." -Pebble

Frostpaw continued laughing manically until she had a heart a attack and died. - Frostpaw(RIP)

Crashkit glanced back at Chestnutkit, trying to force his hackles flat as he stood protectively by her side. "You don't need to fight." He reassured her quickly with his seafoam pair of eyes narrowed astutely. "I'll protect you. I'll fight for you." -- Crashkit

Faintpaw let out a little mew. Her stomach was aching. *Why can't it be over? --*Faintpaw

Baykit bristled, "She'll never learn to protect herself Crashkit! What about the day you won't be here for her later? What then?" She spat, Chestnutkit frowned, "I just wanna go home." she murmured. anger flaring in her, rage filled her, conquering her body as she eyeballed Finchkit and pounced, a storm of tooth and claw errupted as in the end Chestnutkit loomed over Finchkit, baring her fangs. Finchkit tried to lash out but shriekd as she felt her neck being choked, Chestnutkit didn't see Whitero'se wide gaze laying on her as she then gritted her teeth, Chestnutkit snarled hissed before realizing Finchkit went limp. She staggered back, staring in horror, what... what had she done? - Chestnutkit

Crashkit turned to glare Baykit in the eye after watching in horror as his sister rushed into battle and committed murder. "You." He spat with Baykit with venom dripping from his voice, "you instigated this." With his fur bristling, Crashkit turned and stormed off. -- Crashkit

Baykit hissed, "I had nothing to do with this! No one gets protected forever! She's not your kit! She's your sister!" She spat back. then turning the oposite direction and narling at anyone who eyed her. Who would want a brother like that? Then haviong a: *oh right, i have no siblings tro worry about anyways!* - Baykit

Chestnutkit took trembling steps back and merely jumped as she backed into Whiterose, turning swiftly, she hated the smirk on the she-cat's face, "Well done." She praised. this was exactly what she wanted, for all of the kits, to... to... She shook her head and dashed swiftly into the nursery and curled in the tightest ball and hid behind moss, shivering in fear of what just happened. - Chestnutkit

*Loststar will love to hear this!* Whiterose thought with scorn, "Training is over on acont of this, poor, *poor* kit's death, back to the apprentices den with all of you!" She spat. Then looking to the entrance as a large black paw entered the camp. He was here. Not alone. - Whiterose

Crashkit ignored what Baykit had to say, feeling a deep hatred for the WillowClan kit overwhelm his thoughts. *If she didn't open her fat mouth...Chestnutkit wouldn't have done what she did.*I *could have fought for her.* The ash tabby thought irritably as he began to pace back and forth, hoping that the cooled air of TundraClan would chill him out. Naturally, it didn't work very well. He wanted to console his sister, but...well, if Crashkit was one thing, it was that he was honest: and honestly, he didn't know what to tell his sister, "sorry-that-you-just-killed-a-cat"? -- Crashkit

Looking back at the dead body of Frostpaw (lmao), Pebblekit shook his head. Frostpaw wouldn't want him to pity her for dying. *There are still kits that need help!* he realized. -Pebblekit

Wildpaw flinched as he woke, “Get off me!” He hissed, then looking around, “Where’s-“ he froze, “you” he looked to Pebblekit through slits, “I’d it werent for you she wouldn’t be dead!” He spat, “you’re A Curse!” He then raised an unsheathed paw to slash at Oebblekit, sadness, coldness, and anger filled him, but deep down he knew this was his fault... - Wildpaw

Chesnutkit shivered as she rerolled that scene like a broken record, the way Finchkit looked into her eyes with pure fear, the blood she hadn’t realized on her paws. She then realized Loststar’s scent and gulped. She could hear Whiterose mentioning something as he then entered the nursery. “Chestnutkit was it?” He started. Making her teeth chatter. “Don’t be afraid, I’m not here to strip you off too. I just want to talk in my den.” He grinned as he gripped her scruff and carried her into his dark cold den. - Loststar & Chestnutkit

Faintpaw took a few steps forward. She had to continue. *It will be alright. It will be okay. Right?* --Faintpaw

Crashkit kept his hardened gaze on the ground before he decided that he needed to say at least *something* to his sister, after those recent events.  He turned to approach the nursery to have a conversation, only to stare in bewilderment and terror as Loststar was hauling her away to his den. *I won't let you corrupt her!* The ash kitten thought as anger swelled up in his chest, willing him forward so that he raced after Loststar and Chestnutkit. -- Crashkit

Loststar felt his fur prick as he scented Crashkit. A spy he snorted. Then entering his den and dropping Chestnutkit. “Now.” He grinned, “what happened back there?” He asked. She shivered, she said nothing though. He sighed. “You know, that was very brave of you, she had been the worst of all of you.” He sneered with a yawn. Chestnutkit still stood silent. But she knew Finchkit was mean but she didn’t wanna do anything. Loststar sighed. She had to listen.... - Loststar

The tomkit sat outside of the leader's den with his hackles raised. If things turned out to be violent, he wouldn't hesitate to jump in and defend his littermate. For now, he listened on in the conversation with keen ears. -- Crashkit

Chestnutkit sighed as the leader went on. “We could use cats like you.” He paused as she snapped. “You mean monsters?” She spat. Bristling. “I won’t ever join you, you stupid piece of dung!” She added and she looked away as he then growled. - Chestnut

From outside, the tabby tomkit raised his chin proudly. *That's my sister.* -- Crashkit

Loststar gritted his teeth. “Well, you wouldn’t want Crashkit to be, let’s say hurt?” He sneered, snaking her. “He’s way better than you! He wouldn’t let you get to him! Or me!” She spat. “If you lay a claw on him I’m gonna shred your ears and make you wish you were never born!” Chestnutkit though felt fear for her brother, what if they did slaughter him? - Chestnut

It seemed like a reasonable time for Crashkit to be an impulsive idiot. He stepped around to stand in the entrance of the den, puffing out his chest before glaring up at the dark-furred leader as if he was nothing more than an ant beneath his paws. "I'd like to see you try." He challenged the leader. -- Crashkit

Chestnutkit grinned to her brother though it looked as if Loststar was, delighted? He laughed. “You both will do fine.” He spat as he then yawned, “it’s not like one kit can stop me from killing the other.” He added, looking to Crashkit. Chestnutkit cocked her head. Though she let her tail droop. - Chestnut

"Just wait until I'm bigger." Crashkit said simply, although there was a hint of barbarity in those voice. "I'll make you regret every little thing you've done- I'll make sure of it. I won't rest until my revenge is had." -- Crashkit

Loststar snorted but flicked his tail. “I’d love to see you try, dwarf warrior.” He spat. Then eyeing Chestnutkit. “You two must be so close.” He started. “You know, I had a weak brother. Deciding being a medicine cat is the way. and yet we’re so far away.” He chuckled. “Proving it isn’t so hard to pull you apart.” He then gripped Chestnutkit’s scruff as Whiterose gripped Crashkit’s and he then flicked his tail as Whiterose padded back towards the nursery. “You’re staying with me.” He spat to Chestnutkit. - Loststar

Crashkit thrashed in the jawss of the pale warrior before he managed to hook a claw into the softness of her muzzle. "Let me go!" He ordered with a bark. Didn't they understand? He'd just go back and try to get to her again, and again, and again- he'd never stop trying to get back to his sister in order to protect her. That was his duty, as her brother. -- Crashkit

Whiterose hissed as the kitten claws sank in her muzzle. “Pfft.” She spat. Then tossing the kit back to the nursery. “Behave and maybe we’ll let her live.” She murmured as she returned to Loststar’s den. - Whiterose

Pain-in-the-tail was his name, and relentlessness was his game. "Do you really think some childish time-out is going to stop me?" Crashkit hissed in response with a disgusted expression, immediately springing on his paws and walking on Whiterose's heels. "You'll have to break my legs before I stop!" -- Crashkit

Whiterose hissed. “My pleasure!” And she turned to face him, frilling out her fur before she decided to pounce. - White

Pebblekit rushed into the TundraClan camp and saw a kit he didn't recognize attempting to fight more of the Tundraclanners. "Well, well, well. If it isn't more some more foul light-pelted savages." He turned to the white she-cat, his gaze steely and serious. "You were a kit once too, right? Well, after this I bet you'd wish had never been born at all!" He leaped to help the other kit fight off the TundraClan warrior -Pebble

Snowkit couldn’t contain herself, her sister was dead- but she never liked Finchkit, no one died with her bragging and hurting, she killed kits! And now Snowkit was doing nothing to boost her reputation as the sister of a murdered. She spotted Pebblekit and Crashkit and dashed over to help. She dashed over to where Whiterose wasn’t looking and leaped at her face, digging her claws into Whiterose’s eyes and her hind claws into the she-cat’s chin, as she bit and scuffed her ears. - Snowkit

"Do your worst!" Crashkit belted out the words fearlessly in Whiterose's presence, prepared to receive a lashing for his back-talk. He didn't care if it hurt- he was absolutely ready. -- Crashkit

Whiterose hissed as she shook Snowkit off her face then looking to Pebblekit and Crashkit, first pouncing towards Crashkit. - Whiterose

Beekit woke up, and saw blood and fur everywhere. "AHhhh!" She screamed. She then saw a kit fighting with Crashkit against Whiterose, and she whimpered and backed into a corner, hoping none of the big cats would notice her.. - Beekit

When Whiterose turned to him, Crashkit allowed his hackles to raise so that he appeared double his size. Unsheathing his claws, the tom readied himself to receive and counter the white-furred deputy's attack. -- Crashkit

Whiterose slapped Crashkit away as she sank her teeth into Snowkit. And kicked Pebblekit away. - Whiterose

Crashkit found himself rolling away from the scuffle at the force of Whiterose's smack, but he was quick to regain himself. He shook out his fur, spraying away dust in addition to a few scarlet droplets of blood. "You'll have to try harder than that!" He barked before leaping at the deputy once more, claws outstretched. -- Crashkit

Beekit saw the other kits fighting, and remembered her silent promise. She took a deep breath, stoop up, and rushed at Whiterose, leaping onto the big cat's back. - Beekit

*Ugh... there's only one warrior, and three of us, but we're not making* any *headway here!* Pebblekit thought. *All I came here for was my father! And yet I get caught up in this mess!* "You two!" he told the other kits. "We need to retreat. Follow me!" Without waiting for a response, he bolted away. -Pebble

Beekit heard him, but her claws got stuck in Whiterose's fur, and she pulled frantically trying to free herself, but ended up getting thrown into a wall. She gasped in pain as the breath was driven from her body, and she shrieked when she saw Whirerose bearing down her, claws extended. 'Pebblekit, Crashkit, someone, HELP!" she cried. - Beekit

*Did I ever ask for your help? Where did that kid even come from? And who does he think* he *is to boss me around?* Crashkit cast Pebblekit a bitter glare as he proceeded to ignore the stranger. He had his own troubles to worry about- and that was defending his sister, and making Whiterose pay for trying to separate the duo. He clung to the deputy's shoulder with all his might, waiting for her next move. -- Crashkit

Ignoring the glare from the kit who was still fighting the warrior, Pebblekit slid under the light pelted she-cat, and bit her tail. -Pebble

Seeing none of the kits wanted to help her, she curled up, ready to meet her grisly demise. But... it never came. She looked up, and saw everything slowing down. She got up and walked around. "This is so cool!" It looked like something had frozen time. Then she saw the shadow. It padded up to her, but there was no hostile intent. She could tell. It touched her nose, and she saw something.. it looked like a fighting move? She decided to try it out on Whiterose. She backed up, and took a running leap, landing perfectly on Whiterose's back. Then, just as suddenly as it had happened, time sped back up and she was jostled back into reality. - Beekit

*What was that?* Pebblekit thought. *How could that she-kit do that? Moving f-faster than a warrior! -*Pebble

Beekit laughed. Whiterose and Pebblekit and Crashkit were all confused. She slid out her claws, which seemed sharper and a bit longer then before. She could see everything in the demon's head. All the fighting moves, all the battles, all the... bodies. She shook herself and did her best to do some damage to Whiterose, which worked better then she had expected. The blood sprayed all over her face and soaked into her fur. - Beekit

*W-what is she? Some kind of possessed monster?* -Pebble

Beekit felt something take over. She enjoyed the blood spraying everywhere. She *craved* it. She clawed deeper and deeper, more and more blood pouring from the wounds. She didn't stop when she heard Whiterose scream, and she didn't stop when her pelt was soaked red with blood. She looked around for another victim, a maniacal look in her soulless eyes. She was done being scared. She locked eyes with Pebblekit for a second, before she leapt down, and started padding slowly towards him. "Oh, Pebblekit! Nice to see you~." She said in a distorted voice. - Beekit

Beekit ruthlessly attacked Pebblekit, unaware of her... madness? No, that was an understatement. *I have no choice...* He rammed into her at full strength, hoping she wasn't hurt too badly. -Pebble

Beekit stumbled backwards, but came back, feeling more need to claw his throat out. Her eyes faded to a dark red, and blood dripped from her pelt. "Come here..~! We aren't done *playing*." She leapt at him, slashing at major artieries, relishing in the pouring blood. She raised her paw for the finishing blow. - Beekit

Wait... i*f I...* "W-wait!" Pebblekit gasped. "D-don't kill me!" Something in Beekit's eyes flashed for a second, almost returning to normal. "Idiot!" he yelled. "A real warrior never lets their guard down!" He kicked with his hind legs and popped back up. The evil gaze returned to Beekit's eyes. -Pebble

Beekit was trapped in her own mind, and she could see everything that was happening. "NO!! Don't hurt him!" SHe threw herself against the black walls that seemed to trap her. Eventually the shaddow came to her. "Don;t you want to feel powerful?" She glared at the shadow. "Not like this!" The demon sighed and said,"Gosh, your annoying. Just have your body back. But remember... I'll be back..." She gasped and dropped down onto the ground, the stench of blood instantly filling her nose she looked around, and saw her plet soaked with it. She screamed, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Where did all this clood come from?!" She cried. - Beekit

"What were you thinking?!" Pebblekit yelled. "Someone could've *died* thanks to you!" -Pebble

Beekit looked at him, not understanding what had happened. "I'm sorry! Something's in my head, and it won't leave. It said it would be back! What do I do?" - Beekit

"As if I would listen to that story. Hard to believe SeaClan scum like you lived with Frostpaw." Inside, he was terrified. *This could be more trouble than anyone can handle! -*Pebble

Beekit sobbed. "I'm sorry!" She ran over to the edge of camp, trying to stay away from everyone. "I can't be near anyone else... I can't hurt anymore cats..." She curled up, more afraid then she had ever been in her entire life. But this time... she was the one she was scared of. - Beekit

Whiterose staggered away, her fur stained with blood, she hissed and gripped Beekit’s scruff, drawing blood as she bit harder and threw the kit to the ground, even if she died killing every last one of them. She quickly leaped over Crashkit and lashed out at his back, then looking to pebblekit before turning to Beekit. “Another?” She grinned. “Loststar was right.” She laughed cruelly. “The plan is working.” - Whiterose

Chestnutkit squeaked as she squeezed past Loststar as he let her loose, she dashed to Beekit and smiled. “Beekit, it’s okay.” She meowed. “I don't wanna hurt anyone else too, We can try not to together! Is that okay?” She meowed. Though as she heard Whiterose she flatten her ears. This was the plan? To drive all of the kits mad with rage and anger? Was their plot working? Who else was to see red now? - Chestnutkit

Sarge threw his head back and let out a yowl of pleasure. - Sarge

Rowankit bared her teeth, and lunged Whiterose. “Stop it, you evil cat!” She hissed, trying to act brave, although deep down she was terrified. - Rowankit

"STOP IT!" Pebblekit yelled, trying to get everything under control. "We can't keep fighting each other here! We have to get out NOW! Their plan is to drive you insane with hate and anger." He turned to Whiterose. "Great way to get *disloyal* and *crazy* warriors on your side." -Pebble

Beekit groaned, laying on the ground. She could see Whiterose leaping after her friends, and she knew... she needed the demon again. She looked into her head, and found the shadow creeping. "I need you." She said briskly. She paused slightly but said, "... Kill Whiterose." The demon grinned. "My pleasure." The voice said. It slowly melted away, until she felt the urge to rip into flesh again. Her eyes faded back to red, and she yowled, before leaping onto Whiterose's back, and continued clawing. She saw Chestnutkit looking at her. She twisted her head, and laughed in the distorted demon voice. - Beekit (and friend/demon)

Whiterose wailed in pain, gripping her teeth onto the kit’s tail and smacking her to the ground. “Enough you furball.” She hissed. As Chestnutkit came tumbling after she looked to the kit. “You” she felt her eyes narrow to slits, “I aw to kill you right here!” She then leaped at chestnutkit as she then gripped Chest utkit’s throat and carried the she-kit by it, “come one paw closer and I’ll kill her.” She threatened. - Whiterose

Beekit's demon cackled maniaclly. "You think you scare me, weak furball? You haven't seen anything." She leapt at whiterose, faster as lightning, knocking Chestnutkit from the cat's jaws. She landed on her paws, twisting her head until it has looking at the cats behind her. "COme at me... weaklings.." She challenged. - Beekit's demon. (Also, this is a demon from Mare Stellarum, so Whiterose wouldn't be able to beat it.)

Whiterose hissed. “Weak?!” She then raced quickly zigzagging Towards Beekit and trying to knock her off of her paws. - Whiterose

Beekit yawned. "Boring." She stepped out of the way, letting Whiterose ram into some stone. "Try again, weakling." - Beekit

"Idiot," Pebblekit murmured under his breath. "Idiots, idiots, and more idiots around me." He groaned. "I guess you wanna end up like the other TundraClan cats, *Beekit.* It would be such a shame for you to become a Dark Forest cat!*" -*Pebblekit

Crashkit found himself in horrible agony after Whiterose lacerated his back. With his adrenaline running thin, he found the edges of his vision darkening, despite how much he wished to fight back. However, while his mind seemed limitless, his physical strength with limited, and finally the tomkit blacked out from blood loss. -- Crashkit

Chestnutkit gasped, running to her brother. “Crashkit!” She felt tears in her eyes. “Get up.” She then turned to Beekit, eyes blazing. “Hey you!” She hissed, just as Beekit turned she leaped at the she-kit, trying to wake her up. “Wake up Beekit!” - Chestnut

Beekit growled and shoved her off, flinging her into the wall. "Beekit isn't here right now. First.. I need to take care of the giant nuisance trying to kill us." - Beekit

Chestnutkit hissed, feeling her eyes narrow to slits, “I can’t let you do that! I know she’s mean but you aren’t mean!” She spat, unsheathing her claws, pleading that odd feeling would return but it wouldn’t as she then leaped back at Beekit, “then who are you!?” - Chestnut

*Get up and fight!!* He wanted to will himself forward, but he could feel his muscles and entire frame relaxing into the flattened earth. It felt nice to not be so tense, even if it was against his own will. *Is this what death feels like? Maybe...it's not such a bad option out of this mess?* -- Crashkit

Rowankit hissed in pain, and glared at Whiterose. - Rowankit

Whiterose worked around and peaked at Beekit, feeling rage and fear consume her. - Whiterose

Beekit saw Whiterose coming at her, and she rolled her eyes. *Time to dispose of my toy." She leapt under Whiterose, and tore out her throat, sliding out just before the giant cat collapsed, gurgling. She looked on as the cat died, a smile creeping its way up her lips. - Beekit​*

Chest utkit stared in horror. “Beekit! Stop!” She spat. Feeling familiar rage. “all you’re doing is causing damage and pain!” She finished. Then crouching. - Chestnut

Beekit giggled. "Try and make me stop.." - Beekit

Chestnutkit flinched, then shaking her head as she then leaped, ripping her first ear and slapping the kit’s ear. “Beekit! Stop!” She yowled. As she bit the kit’s arm. - Chestnutkit

Beekit was back in the black room. She yelled. "Alright, back in here!" The shadow appeared. "What?" "Time to let me back in control. Now." The demon groaned. "Fiiiinnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeee." Beekit gasped, and se saw her paw on Chestnutkit's neck. "Chestnutkit? Are you okay?" - Beekit

Chestnutkit kicked Beekit off barely hearing the soft voice, she leaped onto the kit baring her teeth in a snarl. - Chestnutkit

While most seemed to ignore Crashkit's fallen form, Shykit came out of the wallpaper to help the blacked-out tom. Grabbing the ash-colored tom by the scruff. Shykit drug him off to find proper help, so that the tom would live rather than die from bloodloss. -- Shykit & Crashkit

Glacierpaw shivered as he shook awake, the scents of blood alerted him. “Oh Ripplepool.... where are you?” He prayed. Before he got to his paws and was afraid to take a peak. - Glacierpaw

Beekit squeaked. "Chestnutkit! What are you doing? It's me, Beekit! The demon is back in my head." - BeekitChestnutkit let herself calm before cocking her head. “Demon?” She let the kit get up before turning to look where Crashkit was. Looking to Shykit she hissed. “Hey! Let go of my brother!” She raced after him. - Chetsnut

Shykit glanced up at the medicine cat nervously, and then down at the bloodied kitten beside him. "H-He needs help!" The tortoiseshell tom stammered before taking a cautious step back. -- Shykit & Crashkit

Glacierpaw sniffed the kit. “He’s just lost lots of blood.” He murmured taking Crashkit into his den, looking for some cobnuts and cobwebs. He returned and tended to the kit. - Glacierpaw

The brindled kitten then turned to Chestnutkit, who had yelled at him, while taking another step backwards and flicking his ears back nervously. "H-He was hurt, and I-I didn't want to leave him there to die. I just w-wanted to get him help!" Shykit squeaked quickly, hoping to not get beaten for simply helping another kit. -- Shykit

Chestnutkit sighed. “Sorry.” She sighed. looking to her brother she padded next to where he was laying and she curled next to him and tried to fall asleep. - Chestnutkit

Shykit felt his heart sink when he watched as Chestnutkit snuggled up against her unconscious brother, Crashkit. *I wish I had someone to snuggle with...* He thought with a frown, recalling that his siblings were back home. -- Shykit

Loststar peered at Whiterose’s body. A little delight of the lost she-cat had been in his eye. “Beekit, why don’t you and your ‘demon’ get rest, all you stupid apprentices are hopeless.” He spat as he dragged Whiterose’s body to a pile of bones near his den. He then looked into the Medicine cats den, letting his gaze fall onto Shykit. - Lost

Shykit felt a chill run down his spine- he wasn't sure why, and wondered if a stray breeze had hit him. Something didn't feel right. He shuffled his paws nervously, stepping away from the medicine cat den. -- Shykit

Loststar flet the kit back into his paws as he then smacked the kit into the bramble wall. “You shy kit,” he spat. “You’d never make a good warrior. Or medicine cat.” He added. - Lost

Beekit stared at Loststar with contempt. "You can't tell me what to do! I'll kill you.. Just let us go!" She tried to look threatening, but Loststar got closer and closer until their noses were almost touching. "Eep-!" - Beekit

Shykit didn't expect the leader's attack and found himself flying hopelessly into the camp's barriers. "W-Wait, please, stop!" He begged after he felt his shoulder burning in agony. "I just want to go home! Please...please don't kill me." -- Shykit

Loststar barked. “You don’t want me to kill you now? Pfft. Pathetic. Real warriors fight to return home you hopeless patch of leaves.” He then paised his paw and lashed at the kit’s face. - Lost

He wasn't able to react soon enough. The innocent kit felt himself tumbling backwards at the blow, and immediately he found his vision clouding the darkness. The little tortoiseshell lay in the corner of camp for several moments, wheezing weakly. *Why can't I open my eyes?* -- Shykit

Beekit's eyes began turning red again, and she leapt onto Loststar's back. The distorted voice hissed into Loststar's ear. "I suggest... Leaving the kit alone..." Beekit unsheathed her claws and dug them into the back of his neck, enough to cause some serious pain. - Beekit

Loststar looked to Shykit for a long moment, ignoring the pain on his neck. As the kit staggered, he started Squinting. Could this have been a sign? He then turned and padded out of the den to return to Beekit, “do you want more bloodshed than you’ve already caused?” He raised a brow to Whiterose’s body on his pile of prey bones. - Lost

As the adrenaline from the sudden attack faded, the amount of pain coursing through Shykit's body increased significantly. His eyes burned, and he tried to blink away the pain, but still it existed. In addition to that, his eyesight...it was like his eyes were still closed. *What's wrong? Why can't I see?* He tried to cry out, but he couldn't find his voice. -- Shykit

Glacierpaw dashed to Shykit and gripped the tom’s scruff, padding head-down towards his den and laying the kit in his den, getting wet moss ready with cobwebs marigold and nettles. “Hold still, I need to get rid of the blood. It might sting,” he meowed. -Glacier

Rowankit flinched away from Loststar. - Rowankit

He didn't bother to flail as Glacierpaw carried him away- he was terrified stiff. When he was set down, Shykit quivered, uncertain of who was with him because he could no longer see. "P-Please don't hurt me..." -- Shykit

Glacierpaw purred. “I won’t hurt you. I’m Glacierpaw, the medicine cat.” He meowed. “I’d never hurt a kit.” He meowed. As he placed the watered moss over the kit’s eyes and some ointment over his torn ear. - Glacierpaw

Beekit laughed. "You think I care? No... I will kill all of you if it means getting the kits out safely..." SHe glared at Loststar, no longer afraid. - Beekit

"...Am I going to die?" Shykit felt his voice crack as he spoke in a hushed, fearful whisper. He swallowed once more, recoiling at the metallic taste of his own blood. "...Why can't I see you?" -- Shykit

“Will you ever just shut up?” Rowankit hissed to Beekit. “We get it, you’re not afraid! Just be quiet so you don’t get everyone else hurt, too!” - Rowankit

Glacierpaw shivered. “No you won’t die, you’ve just been blinded, I’m sure it’ll heal.” He meowed. A little nervousness flooded him, what if he didn’t heal? - Glacier

Loststar didn’t bother with the kit. “And you want to kill? I’m surprised you haven’t already killed Sleet’s kit over there.” He meowed. Flicking his tail to Pebblekit. “Do you really think I would care if you killed everyone?” He added padding into his den with Beekit on his back. He was too tired to deal with this. - Lost

"I...you...you promise it'll heal, right? You promise that I will see again?" Shykit whimpered as a small, doubtful shiver ran down his spine. "I haven't seen my family since I was little...I want to be able to see them again. What if I can never see their faces again?" -- Shykit

Beekit hissed at Rowankit. "I don't think you need to be worried about being killed. After all, you're padding after that Sarge guy. Plus, you try dealing with a bloodthirsty demon in your head. I'd gladly pass it over to you." - beekit

Glacierpaw frowned. “To be honest. I don’t know.” He admitted. “It’s StarClan’s decision if you heal or....” he paused and skipped. “I know you’ll get better.” He promised, though he himself knew he couldn’t ever promise the truth. - Glacierpaw

Rowankit glared at him. “It’s not my fault I’m more likeable than you! But all you care about is yourself! You don’t care who gets hurt as long as you get your point across! You’re just a selfish, lying, mouse-brain!” - Rowankit

Snowkit hissed. “Stop it you two! Why can’t we just be nicer to each other? Beekit, were all tired, we dont want anymore trouble as it is! You killed Whiterose and we thank you but that was brutal, and Rowankit, maybe you shouldn’t get by Sarge, he scares me, and maybe be nicer to Beekit?” -Snowkit

"... Don't. Don't go there. I don't care what you think. I don't care that you think I'm "selfish" or "stupid". You don't know! I don't even know me..." - Beekit

“I know enough!” Spat Rowankit. “And if I don’t, then that’s a good thing. I don’t think I would want to.” And with that, she decided to try and talk to Sarge again. It would be useful for her to get on his good side. - Rowankit

The tortoiseshell kit nervously flattened his ears at the arguing taking place outside, but remained focus on the matter at hand: his own survival. The fact that he might never get to see again...it created a cold lump in his belly. How could he ever be a warrior if he couldn't even see? Better yet, how could he defend himself against the mean TundraClan cats? "...I'm scared..." -- Shykit

Glacierpaw felt hard for the kit. “I’m sure you’ll be fine.” He meowed. “If not then maybe, I could.... take you back to your clan in secret?” He suggested. This kit had no place here. He belonged with his clan, his kin. Not like Glacierpaw had any anyway other than Charcoalpatch, but that lazy lump was boring and hated him for being a medicine cat. - Glacier

He swallowed, uncertain. "But...i-it wouldn't be fair to the others." Shykit stammered at last after putting the medicine cat apprentice's offer into thought. "All of their lives are at risk, too. A-And they have family as well." -- Shykit

Sarge glanced at Rowankit. “What do you want?” He growled. Rowankit pinned her ears back against her head. It sure wasn’t easy talking to him sometimes. But he wasn’t as cruel to her as all of other Loststar’s friends. - Rowankit

Glacierpaw felt hard for the kit. “I’m sure you’ll be fine.” He meowed. “If not then maybe, I could.... take you back to your clan in secret?” He suggested. This kit had no place here. He belonged with his clan, his kin. Not like Glacierpaw had any anyway other than Charcoalpatch, but that lazy lump was boring and hated him for being a medicine cat. - Glacier

After his well-deserved nap. Loststar padded out of his den and climbed the cliff above it. “Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather under the cliff for a clan meeting!” He yowled. He was cruel, but he was also leader and had to set his standards. What do I have to do again? Make warriors... Make apprentices? Oh! Introduce my new guards, appoint a new deputy? All the responsibility made him bristle. Mentors? Nah. He could use the cats he has whenever. After all as leader his word was the warriors code. - Loststar

Shykit pinned his ears and sunk further back into the medicine cat den at Loststar's call. *If I go out there, he'll make sure I'm good and dead this time.* -- Shykit

Loststar yawned as all the cats gathered. “Lately we’ve had some rather unfortunate deaths, and I would like to make warriors, apprentices, and a new deputy. I say these words before StarClan so they can hear and approve my choice” Not like they would anyway. He grumbled. “Sarge. You will be the new deputy.” He meowed. Then turning to the apprentices den. - Lost (as in the comments if y’all want your apprentice OC’s to be warriors)

Crashkit finally awoke in the medicine cat den with a gag, lurching forward as he did so. "What in the name of- what happened?" He choked, turning to find his sister asleep beside him. His shoulders burned. Did...Whiteflame win? *Unacceptable.* -- Crashkit

Splashkit looked on in horror. "Beekit!" She ran over to her friend. "Listen to me! You can't let the demon take you over." She was practically crying. -- Splashkit

Beekit hissed. "Your Beekit is gone! Only I remain. After centuries of being trapped in the afterlife... finally... I am free." Her eyes began seeping a sticky red liquid, dripping down her chin and soaking into the snow. - Beekit and friends

"No! You can't be free!" Tears dripped down Splashkit's fur. "The Beekit I know wouldn't do this, demon or no demon." She yelled. - - Splashkit

She unsheathed her claws, and slashed down on Splashkit's forehead. 'Would the Beekit you know do that..?" She licked the blood from her claws. and tilted her head slightly. "Well?" - Beekit

Splashkit looked into the thing's eyes. "Maybe. But she would heal it after. Because that's what she wanted. To be a medicine cat..." She shot a paw out and swept Beekit's feet from under her. -- Splashkit

Beekit saw the paw coming and leapt over it at the last second, and smacked her away. "Before, I had no quarrel with you. Unfortunetley for you... now I do." She pounced onto Splashkit, tossing her away like a piece of crow-food, which, incoincidentaly, she was..." - Beekit

Splashkit crumpled to the ground. She looked up, tears in her eyes. She got up shakily, and swung a paw at her friend, not even aiming. -- Splashkit

Chestnutkit flinched as she heard yowls. She pricked her ears and leaped over her brother, “Beekit!” She yowled. “Please!” She meowed, leaping in front of Splashkit to take a blow. “If you can hear me, I need you to think of a weakness!” She frowned. “Think of what you wanted your destiny to be! A medicine cat!” - Chestnut

Baykit pricked her ears, looking to Loststar and then to the fighting kits. “Idiots.” She growled, fighting during a clan meeting? Fun. She stretched and sat at the entrance of the nursery. Looking to ChestNutkit, her heart sank and she strode over to her friend. - Bay

Loststar narrowed his eyes to the fighting two. “Beekit, I can commend your undying fighting attitude.” He sighed. A little annoyed his announcement was paused until he caught glimpse of a steel pelt in the shadows, he squinted. So, what else was there? Could hedgehogs fly now? - Loststar

Beekit knocked it back easily, smacking her to the ground and raised her paw for the final blow, when a kit rammed into her, stumbling her slightly. She turned and growled, seeing Grasskit there. "Stay out of this kit." Beekit mewed. Grasskit yowled. "No! Leave Splashkit alone!" Beekit pushed him away and lunged forward to sink her teeth into Splashkit's throat, when Grasskit dove in front of her, and she ended up tearing his throat out. She saw Chestnutkit coming at her and she lunged down to bite into her ankle. - Beekit

Chestnutkit screeched in agony as she staggered back, limping and leaving atrial of blood behind her. “You’re weak you demon. Beekit is much stronger than you, all you know is, is to kill and hurt. Free? No. But in a much more protected prison than you even know.” She vowed. Waiting for another blow as Baykit leaped and pinned Beekit down. - Chestnut

Rowankit bared her teeth at Beekit. “Stop it!” She snarled. - Rowankit

Beekit laughed crudely. "You think you've seen what I can do? Oh no, silly kit. I haven't even scratched the surface. Here's your weakling back. Have fun with the bodies." Beekit went limp for a second, before taking a gasp of air. "Oh my gosh! Grasskit! Splashkit!" She shot out from under Baykit, adn raced over to the dead body of her friend. "Grasskit. I did this.. I did this.. I'm a monster.. Grasskit! You're not dead! You can't be dead! Please... wake up." - Beekit

Chestnutkit padded to Beekit’s side. “I’m sorry. It wasn’t you! It was that.... *thing*.” She frowned. Then she looked away. Would that have become if her? Would she be.... evil? - Chestnut

Rowankit shoved Beekit away from Grasskit. “GET AWAY!” She snapped. “You’ve done enough!” - Rowankit

Crashkit rested in the medicine cat, ignoring the outbreak of attacks in the center of camp. Instead, his pair of seafoam eyes were locked on the dark figure of Loststar, a sort of hatred burning in his gaze. *One day...I'll make him regret it. All of it. All the other kits might be distracted, but me? I'm focused. I have a duty, and I will accomplish it.* -- Crashkit

She didn't move, didn't react to being shoved away. She just looked around. Everyone was scared and angry.. at her? She was horrified at what she had become. She looked to Grasskit. She'd murdered her friend. She'd hurt Splashkit. She was a monster... a monster. It was getting harder to breathe, and her skin was prickling. Her heart was beating faster and faster until she thought it would burst from her chest. - Beekit

"Grasskit!" Splashkit screamed. She raced over to his body. "No, no, no no!" She sobbed. She pressed her head to his side. - - Splashkit

Chestnutkit looked to Beekit, “Beekit, we can fix it, it’ll be okay!” She meowed, “we’ll just....” she didn’t know. All she could feel was fear. Not of her friend. For her friend. - Chestnut

Rowankit bared her teeth at Beekit, and looked at Chestnutkit. “No! She’s a monster!” She spat. She glared at Beekit. “Get away from here!” - Rowankit

Splashkit looked up slowly. She turned towards. Beekit. "You..you... MONSTER!" She lunged at Beekit, her claws out and slashed at her flank. -- Splashkit

Chetsnutkit hissed. “No, she’s a cat like you and I! She’s scared! She needs help, if no one will help then I will.” She meowed, looking hastily to Beekit. - Chestnut

Loststar rolled his eyes and continued. “Crashkit, Chestnutkit, Beekit, Splashkit, Snowkit, Forestkit, Baykit, Foxkit, Amberkit, Rowankit, Coalkit, Shadowkit, Wolfkit.” He paused and eyed the medicine cats den in disgust. “And Shykit.” He looked back to the clan. “you’ve all reached the age of six moons and over, and it is time for you to be apprentices. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, all of your last names will end in ‘paw’. Training starts tomorrow. Claws unsheathed.” He meowed. - Loststar

Rowankit-paw glared at Loststar Sarge nodded at Loststar. “I’ll train Rowanpaw.” He said. - Rowankit

Beekit screamed. It hurt.. but the fact that Splashkit hated her made her heart split apart, and she knew she deserved every bit of pain that was delivered to her. She wa s a murderer, a monster. She had murdered Grasskit. She didn't try to fight back, she didn't want to hut any more of her friends. She just... accepted it. - Beekit

Crashpaw's glare hardened. "Challenge accepted," he mumbled under his breath. -- Crashpaw

Shypaw hesitated before turning his head in the direction that he thought Glacierpaw was. "There's another Shy-" Oh. It was him. Loststar was going to...let him win? Or was he just the scratching post for all the other apprentices? -- Shypaw

Splashkit took a deep breath. She turned away from Beekit. "Don't try to talk to me again." She said, her voice low but full of hatred. She walked back to Grasskit's body and laid down next to him. -- Splashkit

Beekit got up and scrabbled to a corner, blood dripping from her wounds and her eyes. She deserved this. She deserved to die. - Beekit

Crashpaw staggered to his paws and slowly made his way out of the medicine cat den, muscles tense and quaking from exhaustion underneath his fur. *If I can make Loststar focus on me, he might forget about my sister.* He decided firmly before raising his chin, allowing his gaze to meet the leader's. "Fine- when do we begin?" -- Crashpaw

“Splashpaw! Stop!” Seawhisper appeared from her spot. Looking hostily to the other cats. “Splashpaw, I’ve missed you so much!” She purred to her adopted kit. - Seawhisper

Glacierpaw sighed. “Maybe I can train you.” He suggested. “You might’ve wanted to be a warrior, until your vision gets better maybe you can stick around, away from Loststar?” He asked. - Glacierpaw

Chetsnutpaw crouched next to Beepaw, licking her wounds. “Don’t let them define who you are.” She murmured. -Chestnutpaw

Splashpaw looked up. "Seawhisper!" She cried. She ran to her adopted mother and pressed herself into her fur, sobbing quietly. -- Splashpaw

Beepaw looked up, her eye fur red and sticky. "Go away.. please." She rasped. Her eyes darted to the wound on Chestnutpaw's ankle. "I hurt you... why don't you hate me? I'm a monster..." - Beepaw

Chestnutkit kept lapping at the blood. “Why would I when it wasn’t you?” She asked. “I’m not afraid of you.” She meowed. “You can’t be afraid of Who you are, you aren’t a murderer, you’re a healer, you just need to learn to control it.” She meowed. - Chestnutpaw

Seawhisper lapped at her kit’s head as Fishleap padded to her side and glared to Loststar. “So this is what you’ve been doing? Brutal you ignorant slime.” She hissed. Though Seawhisper knew they were prisoners now. But she lapped at her kit’s wound, “I’m so sorry,” she whispered. - Seawhisper

"It's okay." Splashpaw sniffed. "But Grasskit... Grasskit... " she broke down crying again. -- Splashpaw

Beepaw still turned away. 'i can't. It's too powerful. Please.. leave me alone." - Beepaw

Seawhisper nuzzled Splashkit. “There was nothing you could’ve done,” she sighed. “He’s with StarClan now.” She murmured, “we’ll find a way out, I promise.” She meowed until her gaze was drawn to the shadow looking over them all. “Why?” She asked. Loststar barked. “And you are?” He asked, looking at his claws as if trying to entertain himself. “I am Seawhisper if SeaClan, I’m here to retrieve the kits, even at the cost of my life.” She meowed. Loststar paused. “I see, Seawhisper. Turns out your life might be over quicker than you thought it would’ve. He leaped at her and the fighting commenced. - Lost

Chestnutkit shook her head. “Only if you think it is, It’s only using you, it must be already dead, you are the prison, can’t you see?” She meowed, - Chestnut

Splashpaw clawed at Loststar's side. She ducked under him and scratched his underbelly. -- Splashpaw

Beepaw sank her teeth into his ear, and she could feel the soft flesh tear in her mouth. - Beepaw

Seawhisper kicked Beekit and Splashkit away, “no!” She screeched to the kit, “stay safe!” As she then bit hard onto Loststar’s throat, then thrashing with her hind paws at his belly, tearing it open, he made gashes on her shoulders and sank his teeth into her legs, making the bleed, she lashed out at his eyes and leaped back as he got to his paws she then willed around him and leaped onto his back, then tearing at his scruff he fought to throw her off, she flew across the camp as Loststar staggered back, his belly tore open, throat dripping with ooze. His scruff was shredded and eyes were damaged, he hissed as he fell to the ground, only to wake again and get to his paws. - Lost

Beepaw leapt to her paws and went to help Splashpaw to her paws. - Beepaw

Splashpaw knocked Beepaw away, and snarled at her. She turned back towards the fight. There was no way her mother could win against a leader with nine lives. -- Splashkit

Sarge let out a roar, and lunged at Seawhisper. - Sarge

(Lost already Beat her up)Seawhisper staggered back, her legs ached and her claws hurt, one might’ve been chipped. She breathed hard. Before collapsing. Loststar sniffed her before Glacierpaw dashed over and dragged her to his den. - Seawhisper

Beepaw gasped, but she still didn't care. She let out a deep breath, and her eyes faded to red. She let out a roar and leapt onto Sarge, claws unsheathed and teeth bared. She sunk her teeth into his spine and bit down as hard as she could. - Beepaw

Glacierpaw dragged the large she-cat into his den. “Shypaw, I’m gonna need your help if you’d want to.” He announced to the apprentice. He got some marigold and cobwebs. “Here, smell this, it’s marigold, the flowers are large and have many petals. And if you can feel these they’re cobwebs, for blood, marigold can help with infection on open wounds.” Glacierpaw meowed. - Glacierpaw

Loststar didnt stop staring after Seawhisper. she was... odd, stronger than he thought to... he shook his head. “I’ll speak to her later.” He meowed as he licked to where his wounds had been. - Lost

Chestnutpaw gasped. “Beepaw! Stop!” She frowned, “Just, don’t let it take over!” - Chestnutpaw

Beepaw whipped around, glaring at Chestnutpaw. 'Like I said... these is no Beepaw. It's only amatter of time until she's consumed. She will never survive.. Say your goodbyes now, tiny kit." - Beepaw

Pebblekit had been watching, not interfering for a while now, but tried to get Beepaw to snap out of her... trance. "You! I don't know what you are, but you need to let Beepaw go. And while I may be *just* a tiny little kit, I'm at least smarter than your puny little brain, you unloved and lonely cat. Tell those TundraClan fiends that I'm leaving, and they can't stop me." *No... Wait. I have a visit to make first.* He went over to Sleet, carefully avoiding others attention. "C-Can I talk to you?" he whispered when he was close enough. -Pebble

Beepaw laughed. "Alright, kit. Go deal with your daddy issues." - Beepaw

Shypaw quivered at the scent of fresh blood, and flinched when he heard Seawhisper's frame get dropped into their den. He leaned forward and curiously sniffed the herbs that Glacierpaw had stuffed in his direction, trying to remember their tangy scent. He cringed when he touched the cobwebs, which stuck to his paws. "O-Ok." -- Shypaw

Sarge threw Beepaw off, and sunk his teeth into the young she-cat’s scruff, throwing him across camp. Rowanpaw lunged at Beepaw, and clawed at her face. - Rowankit and Sarge

Splashpaw stared after her mother's body. She whipped around to face Beepaw. "This is all your fault!" She yelled. She tackled Beepaw, rolling on the ground, battering Beepaw. - - Splashpaw

Chestnutpaw shrieked. “Beepaw! Splashpaw! Stop!” She shrieked, leaping before Beepaw and taking Solashpaw’s bats. She hissed. “Leave her alone! You two have done much damage already!” She hissed. - Chestnut

Beepaw threw her off, and pounced onto her prey. She clawed his forehead, making blood drip into her eyes, so she couldn't see. It was pretty easy push her to the side and find Sarge. "Well, well, looks like your little friend here needs some help getting to the medicine den. Run along and bring her there, or i can't gaurentee she'll be able to see ever again. I have other matters to attend to." She threw Chestnutpaw into the wall, then shoved Splashpaw off her and knocked her paws out from under her, leaving her belly exposed. Beepaw took the advantage and clawed her stomach, Red plumes of blood blossomed from the wounds and she kicked her to the side. "Had enough?" - Beepaw

Rosemarypaw, a new apprentice, slipped out of the den, surveying camp and what was happening. - Rosemarypaw

"This doesnt concern you!" Splashpaw snarled, wincing at the pain. She retreated back to the shadows. -- Splashpaw

He just came outside, spluttered a few meaningless words, and then just decided that he'd *speak later*?! Irritation flooded through Crashpaw's form as he hissed aggressively in Loststar's direction. "I waited around just for that? Because you have something *better* to do?" -- Crashpaw

Loststar snapped his sight back to Crashpaw. “Oh.” He rolled his eyes. “Expect me to attack you again? Why don’t you go and see who:s really hurting your sister.” He spat. Flicking his tail to where Chestnutkit lay on the ground, at the stump of a tree, wincing to get to her paws. She dashed for Beekit and leaped onto the kit. “Stop! You’re hurting Beekit! You’re supposed to protect your host right!? If she’s dead then you’ll be back to your original being!” She hissed. Trying to save her friend, though she felt her throat ache as blood leaked from it. She wasn’t gonna give up so easily though. - Chestnutkit

Crashpaw gritted his teeth as he turned towards the cat who had attacked his sister. *That Beepaw is nothing but trouble.* He found himself curling a lip, despite feeling agony in his shoulders once more. *Chestnutpaw needs to pick better company.* First that Baykit cat, and now this other cat...why couldn't she hang around a good, harmless influence, like Shypaw? *Do I...do I*want*to fight?* What was he becoming? -- Crashpaw

“She’ll be fine.” Growled Sarge, kicking the smaller cat away. - Sarge

Seeing Sleet didn't hear him, Pebblekit tried again. "Pssst! Sleet!" -Pebbbbbbbble

Rosemarypaw crouched at the side of camp, watching the commotion continue while she tried to decide what to do. Join in? Stay where she is? - Rosemarypaw

Flame was walking around the unfamiliar snowy place looking for Coal and Thorn when he got so cold that he started running as fast as he could and accidentally ran into Loststar. Flame looked up at the massive tom cat and said, "Uh, hello, I'm looking for two cats, their names are Coal, and Thorn. Do you know them?" -Flame

Coalpaw's ears perked up. She knew that voice. "Flame!" She ran over to him and licked his ears. "Hi!" Flame sat up. "Coal?" he looked very surprised. "What are you doing out in the cold like this?" Coalpaw laughed. "I'm Coalpaw now! and this is TundraClan!" Flame looked so confused. "Where's Thorn?" Coalpaw sighed. "He's still in ThornClan." Flame asked, "Well, can I join TundraClan?" Coalpaw replied excidedly, "yes! of course!" then her smile turned into a frown. "But only if Loststar says you can." Flame then asked "Where's Loststar?" Coalpaw laughed. "he's right behind you." She gestured with her tail toward the cat that Flame had bumped into. -Flame, and Coalpaw

Sleet pricked his ears, his pelt stained with his and his brothers blood. “What.” He meowed back to his kit. - Sleet

Loststar barked. “If you can survive. Flamepaw.” He meowed. He then looked to Sarge. “Sarge! A word?” He meowed cooly. For one thing, Crashpaw must’ve mistaken his words. He was going to keep Chestnutpaw away from him. She’ll be at Loststar’s side, where he could kill her at any moment for his new trainee. He looked to Beekit and then to the medicine cats den. “Seawhisper Eh?” - Loststar

Glacierpaw frowned as he looked to Crashpaw. “Shypaw, why don’t you check Crashpaw again...” he suggested. - Glacierpaw

Chestnutpaw hissed and felt anger fill her. Though as she was about to sink her claws and teeth into Sarge’s paw he padded away. She felt her fur bristled as she then dashed to Beepaw’s side. “Beepaw? Are you okay! I’m so sorry I couldn’t help.” She cried, helping the fallen apprentice to her paws. Baypaw flicked her tail to Chestnutpaw’s chest. “Chestnutpaw. You can’t stay friends with her.” She murmured. “She’ll tear you apart like a chew toy.” She meowed. Chestnutkit flared and lashed out at Baypaw. “You’re wrong! *It* will! I’m not giving up on her!” - Chestnutpaw

Beepaw looked down. "She's right Chestnutpaw. You need to stay away from me. I can't control myself anymore.. If you're my friend, you'll promise me you'll stay away from me.." - Beepaw

Chestnutpaw shook her head, “no.” She meowed. “I might not be your friend, but I won’t stop trying to help. Not this time.” Though Baykit snarled. “She’s a curse. Cursed. And she’s turning you to her side. You need to stop.” She then lay an u sheathed paw on Beekit’s neck. “You’re weak not to contain your own demon, it’s a shame I’ll have to kill you for-!” She felt unbearable pain come to her eye, she staggered back as Chestnutpaw leaped onto her and thrashed in a storm of teeth and claws, though Baykit came at her too, and for being bigger than Chestnutpaw, the she-kit flew back after a blow to her thigh. “I can’t let you kill her.” She hissed. - Baypaw + Chestnutpaw

Beepaw looked in horror at the two she-cats fighting. "Stop! Please! Even without the thing in my head, I'm still causing pain! I'm a curse! I never should've been born... All I'm doing is hurting you guys." She closed her eyes tight, hoping this was all a bad dream. But she knew it wasn't. Maybe this was StarClan's will. Or maybe the Dark Forest had cursed her. Maybe... - Beepaw

Flamepaw sat up straight in front of Loststar “Yes, sir!“ Coalpaw burst out laughing. -Coalpaw & Flamepaw

Chestnutpaw sent Baypaw away with more nasty scars and a glare. Feeling their friendship crack like they’d been on thin ice, just barely breaking away. She lay to Beekit’s side. “We just need to control it, okay? It’ll be okay.” She licked Beepaw’s nose. “We just need to get to know the demon to you know, get used to it?” - Chestnutpaw

Beepaw looked at Chestnutpaw. She'd stubbornly stayed by her side. She even fought Baypaw for her! She felt something inside, though she quickly squashed it. She couldn't get too close, in case the worst happened again.. She mumbled, "yeah.." and she could feel Baypaw staring daggers at her. - Beepaw

"...Well, I can't 'look' Crashpaw over if I can't see..." Shypaw murmured awkwardly as he, once more, resumed to shuffle his paws about. *I think Crashpaw's just crazy. Is crazy a medical diagnosis?* -- Shypaw

Chestnutpaw flicked her whiskers and felt her brother’s gaze lay On her. “Crashpaw!” She got from her spot and nuzzled her brother. “I’m sorry I couldn’t help you!” She meowed. Looking back to Baypaw as the she-cat
glared her direction. The thin ice was breaking. She just knew it. - Chestnut

Sarge padded over to Loststar. “What is it?” - Sarge

It was tempting to outright tell his littermate that she had a poor taste of friends at best, and give her a lecture about picking her company. Then again, she was happy, and it was better than seeing her both miserable and beaten. "No need," the impulsive cat muttered quickly. Perhaps it was best if his sister kept her distance, for the sake of her own survival...not that she'd ever understand. What was going on between Crashpaw and Loststar...it was too far over most of their heads. -- Crashpaw

Loststar flicked his tail. “I want you to make sure Chestnutpaw doesn’t interact with her brother and stays by my side, he’s my new creation.” He murmured to the deputy. “Training starts at sunset.” He added. “And just some info, let’s see how Crashpaw goes against his sister, shall we?” He barked. - Lost

Shypaw fumbled through the herb storage, recalling what Glacierpaw had recently taught him. He felt around for cobwebs, until finally they stuck to his paws. He cringed lightly. *Gross.* -- Shypaw

Chestnutpaw sighed. “Do you think momma and dad are gonna come and be with us like Seawhisper?” She asked, - Chestnut

Beepaw was sitting next to CHestnutpaw as she was speaking with Crashpaw. She looked up nervously. "Uhm... H-Hi, Crashpaw!" - Beepaw

Chestnutpaw turned to her friend. “Oh right! This is Beepaw!” She meowed standing next to the tortoiseshell she-cat. A little worry grew in her belly. Would he not like Beepaw too? - Chestnut

Beepaw laughed nervously. - Beepaw

Crashpaw narrowed his eyes in a scrutinizing fashion as Beepaw approached. He had no interest in mingling with her or Baypaw, for that matter. "...I don't feel like talking about mom and dad right now." He admitted before turning away and walking off. -- Crashpaw

Chestnutpaw stared after her brother, feeling hollow. There must’ve been something wrong with him.” She looked away and turned the other direction, padding out of the camp and sitting under the dusk light as the sun set and the moon rose. - Chestnutpaw

Crashpaw sent a single glare in the direction of Loststar's den. *I won't let you hurt her.* He stiffly padded back into the medicine cat den, where Shypaw awkwardly plastered him with cobwebs until he looked like he'd run into a nest of spiders. "...I think you're missing my wounds, furball." -- Crashpaw & Shypaw

Beepaw looked down. "I deserved that.. I'm a monster after all.." But she still got up and followed Chestnutpaw out of the hollow. She padded alongside her, and she saw the beautiful cliff pooled in orange light. They settled down, and Beepaw found herself admiring the way the light rippled from Chestnutpaw's sheen coat. She slightly smiled and moved a bit closer. - Beepaw

Glacierpaw send Crashpaw a glare. “He’s temporarily blinded, he can’t help it.” He meowed quichkly, defending his apprentice. - Glacierpaw

Loststar looked after Chestnutpaw. “Watch her.” He meowed to Sarge. - Loststar

Chestnutpaw frowned. “I don’t know what’s wrong with everyone, you're a normal cat, You have hopes dreams, everyone has flaws, even Crashpaw.” She looked away, “I just, feel like me and him are drifting away.” She let a tear escape her eye. Her tail lay low as she sat on a fallen pine. - Chestnut

"I think you missed a wound," Crashpaw grumbled sarcastically, only for Shypaw to reel back in surprise and cock his head to the side. "...Really?" The tortoiseshell tom squeaked, only to cringe when Crashpaw snorted at him. "No. I am literally *covered* head to tail in cobwebs. You didn't miss a *whisker* of me." The gray-brown apprentice mumbled. -- Crashpaw & Shypaw

Sarge wrinkled his muzzle. “Why her?” - Sarge

*When will all these annoying furballs leave?* Driftpaw wondered to herself pettily as she cleaned her silvered whiskers of blood from her meal. *They're old enough to leave on their own, if they're capable of surviving a skirmish. Their heads must be full of ice. TundraClan cats are clearly superior when it comes to craftiness and using their brains.* -- Driftpaw

Loststar looked tough Sarge, “she’s with the demon friend we’ve obtained, also, I’ve threatened to kill her if Crashpaw disobeyed.” He meowed. “She’s his weakness.” He meowed. Getting to his paws. “Always find a weakness Sarge, use it against your enemies, it’ll weaken them and break them.” he then leaped up a tree to follow the two, “stay here on second thought, I need to watch this. make sure the apprentices are ready for training when I return. - Loststar

Crashpaw stomped out of the medicine cat den with an irritable expression after being smothered in cobwebs. Shypaw awkwardly shrunk back after he heard the apprentice's pawsteps fade away. "O-Ok....have a good day." -- Shypaw

Out of the corner of her eye, Rosemarypaw spotted Crashpaw coming out of the medicine cat den. He had cobwebs all over him. She flicked her tail slightly in amusement. - Rosemarypaw

Crashpaw sent a sour hiss in Rosemarypaw's direction. *Nosy TundraClanners.* He thought bitterly as he forced himself to settle down into the apprentice's den with a loud huff, where he began to pick off the excess cobwebs. -- Crashpaw

Once Baypaw took a glimpse of Crashpaw she burst in laughter. “Wow, look who the new spider-cat is!” She barked. Rolling over at the sight of the sticky tom. - Bay

Crashpaw bit back a series of cruel curses that were meant to be fired in Baypaw's direction. *I could kill her right now.* He thought as he sunk his claws into his nest, forcefully resting his head on his paws. *But then I would be letting Loststar win.* -- Crashpaw

Baypaw padded towards the tom. she then flicked her tail. Inspecting him. “This is the cat who’ll protect Chestnut all her life?” Feeling dark intentions lash at her. she huffed, He thinks this is all of him? All he’s gonna risk for Chestnutpaw? Pathetic. - Baypaw

Clearly, this cat couldn't understand body language even when his screamed "leave-me-alone". So when Baypaw decided to hover nearer, Crashpaw shot out a claw with a ferocious hiss, with the intent of catching her by the ears to inflinct maximum pain. -- Crashpaw

Baypaw paused, just a claw away from Crashpaw’s lashing. She narrowed her eyes to him. “I’m sure you still think you can protect Chestnutpaw.” She hissed. Unsheathing her claws and snarling. “Hasnt anyone told you she could take care of herself without you? Why am I the bad guy when you treat her nothing more than a kit? You don't talk to her anymore.” She hissed. - Baypaw

"Go pester someone else- your company isn't wanted." Crashpaw hissed in the direction of Baypaw, although his instincts begged him to shred her ears. StarClan, she got under his fur. *It's all her fault- she's not one to talk.* -- Crashpaw

Baypaw didn’t move. She wasn’t gonna let this tom boss her around. “You said it was my fault back there? How would you feel if you were told to stay behind Loststar? You’re his preferred little pet right? Must’ve been you who made her so mad.” She hissed. Snarling and baring her thorn-sharp fangs, she had an itch to pick a fight, if Chestnutpaw would choose Beekit over her, she’d find a way to change the kit’s mind, one way or the other. Why not pick fights with Crashkit? She had nothing better to do. - Baypaw

Maple sighed, leaning against snail as she rambled at how beautiful it was that day. *starclan, does she even care that I can't see?.*  mushroom padded up to them, sitting beside them with a small smile. -mshroompaws, maplekit & snailkit

Beepaw sighed and rested her head on her paws, close to Chestnutkit. "Yeah but... they have a right to be scared.. I murdered Grasskit! He was my friend... and I tried to murder Splashpaw, and now she's injured.. I don't understand why it chose me! I'm just a weak kit.." - Beepaw

Chestnutpaw allowed her tail to wrap with Beepaw’s. “Listen to me. You are special, that’s why it chose you, you’re the smartest, sweetest cat, I believe you’re able to conquer this and move on right when you wake up, you’ll wake to see that it’s smaller than you thought, and- and you’ll be free! You can’t let those words go to you, you’re no monster.” She meowed. Feeling her paws overlap Beepaw’s. Warmth in her aqua eyes settled to Beepaw’s deep violets. - Chestnutpaw

(I smell a ship lol) --mushroompawsssss

(You are correcttttt lmao) - Fire

Beepaw simply stared at Chestnutpaw, her blue eyes pools of sadness. "Well.. I believe you." She closed her eyes briefly, and allowed her head to settle on Chestnutpaw's shoulder. "I.. I think I like.. you, Chestnutpaw.." - Beepaw

Rosemarypaw watched Baypaw and Crashpaw with curiosity. The she-cat loved some good drama. - Rosemarypaw

"Your advice. It's still unwanted. Don't waste your breath, your yammering is taking up all my oxygen." Crashpaw balantantly responded to Baypaw before resting his head back on his paws in an attempt to force himself to sleep. -- Crashpaw

Chestnutpaw let her head rest on Beepaw’s. “Phew, I’m so glad I’m not alone in this.” She sighed. “I like you too.” She meowed. “I don’t get what the others don’t see besides your demon. But I see it.” She meowed.

Seawhisper gasped as she woke, “what!” Though she looked around to see the den scenting of herbs, she wanted to be home. She sighed and as she got to her paws her legs ached she get out a pained shriek. “Loststar wanted to speak with you.” Glacierpaw meowed as his head was low and sorting through herbs. She cocked her head. “You should wait in his den.” He murmured as she then got up and found Splashkit at her side. “Oh...” she sighed. - Chestnutpaw & Seawhisper

“Good.” Baypaw hissed. “It should be.” Before scanning camp. “Where’s Chestnutpaw?” She murmured. - Baypaw

Beepaw smiled. "Well, we should get back to camp." She stood up and, with Chesntupaw by her side, she trotted back to camp. She felt a bit better, and wanted to talk with Chestnutpaw for a while. "Wanna go over there?" She pointed with her tail to a quiet corner of camp. - beepaw

Chestnutpaw dipped her head “sure.” Though as she felt tensions rise she looked to see Loststar leaping to the cliff. “All you TundraClanners and Prisoners, listen up.” He hissed, pacing. “These new apprentices need training, and of course we aren’t gonna take them out of camp.” He growled. “I’d like the apprentices to line up and be ready to face each other, TundraClan and these lovely kits.” He meowed. Sitting as he then sent a glare Chestnutpaw’s way as her scruff was gripped and she was lowered to Loststar’s side by Darkstorm. She shivered as she looked up to Loststar’s amber gaze, fear pierced her heart. - Chestnut + Lost

Rosemarypaw felt a prickle of fear ripple down her spine. She got to her paws and started to shuffle to the center of the clearing. - Rosemarypaw

Beepaw hissed when Loststar had taken Chestnutpaw to her side. She still reluctantly lined up and was waiting for the training. *Be safe, Chestnutpaw.*- Beepaw

Chestnutpaw scent a glance to Beepaw and then to her brother. Was he okay with this? She just sat there and watched from above like a damsel in distress. Loststar then called the groups. “I’d like Beepaw to step forwards.” He meowed. A grin lining his face. “And then....” he then looked around. “Baypaw.” He meowed. “You step forward.” He grinned. Flicking his gaze to where Chestnutpaw stared in absolute pure horror. He flicked his tail. “Get ready to fight. But no killing.” He reminded. - Lost & Chestnut

Beepaw gasped. *I... I don't wanna fight her!" Beepaw darted her eyes from side to side, unsure of what to do. - Beepaw​*

Baypaw laughed to herself. This Loststar was really trying to help her. She got into a crouch. Murmuring. “You and me. No demon.” She meowed. Flicking her tail, fluffing her fur, and unsheathing her claws, it was hard to see what Chestnutpaw sees, what would she want? To be saved from the spell she’s under, kill Beepaw? No. Wound her enough so she falls to her knees? Of course. - Baypaw

Beepaw shook her head firmly. "I'm not fighting you. I won't stoop down to your level." She didn't wanna fight Baypaw! But she could clearly see that Baypaw didn't feel the same way. - Bepaw

Baypaw rolled her eyes. “Not like you have a choice.” She hissed as she leaped and sank her teeth into Beepaw’s shoulder, kicking her back as Baypaw landed. Honestly, Chestnutpaw should be happy she’s ridding the poison in her veins! She looked to her friend and saw the horrified expression. *Be grateful!* She hissed. - Baypaw

Beepaw clenched her jaw in pain as Baypaw sunk her teeth into her shoulder, but she still refused to fight back. She tore away, and ended up on her side. She struggled back to her paws only to get knocked back over by Baypaw. "Ngh..." She groaned. - Beepaw

Baypaw grinned, she was nothing without her demon. Only to then realize she was nothing without her demon, she paused as she was about to sink her teeth into Beepaw’s throat.”bring your demon out.” She murmured. She knew why Chestnutpaw was so for this she-cat. She felt herself soak with guilt. - Baypaw

Beepaw closed her eyes, willing to die if it meant she wouldn't have to hurt another cat. She waited for a second, then she opened her eyes and saw Baypaw faltering. Then she heard her say something about bringing out hr demon. Her eyes widened. "No! It might kill you! And I don't have control over what it does.." She looked up at Loststar and called out, "I forfeit!" - Beepaw

Baypaw narrowed her eyes. “Fine.” She meowed. Looking to Loststar. The tom looked increasingly frustrated. She then but hard on Beepaw’s neck, “let it out! You have to try and kill it!” She hissed into Beepaw’s ear. “Remember Chestnutpaw!” - Baypaw

Beepaw knocked her away. "No! Why are you so obbessed with whatever's in my head? I said, I forfeit!" She hissed under her breath and padded back over to the sidelines. - Beepaw

Rosemarypaw took a step forward, hoping to be chosen next. - Rosemarypaw

Baypaw hissed. “You wouldn’t understand!” She hissed she then lunged at Beepaw throwing her back into the battlefield. “No!” Chestnutpaw”s shriek alerted Baypaw, making her flick her gaze as Loststar put his tail before Chestnutpaw’s paws. She hissed. “Kill it!” She commanded Beepaw. - Baypaw

Beepaw growled. "Get off of me!" She shot up, flinging Baypaw back. "Just leave me alone! I'm trying hard not to be the monster everyone is saying I am, but you're making it really hard. Just stop." She walked back to the sidelines, far away from all the other cats. - Beepaw

Baypaw stared with narrowed eyes. “You mean your demon.” She meowed. Flicking her whiskers. She hissed, “you’re weak without it.” She barked as she then raced to Beepaw and knocked the kit off her paws. “Get up and fight like a warrior.” She hissed.

Chestnutpaw stared an shame. What was Baypaw doing! She felt familiar rage control her paws. Though she fought the urge to leap and kill her former friend. She was trying to get herself killed. *But I can’t let that happen.* She thought, she looked away, ready to see Baypaw kill her best friend. “Beepaw!” She yowled. - Chestnutpaw & Baypaw

Beepaw growled. Baypaw was really getting on her nerves. She could feel the urge coming on again, but she did her best to fight it down. *Stay down, demon!*She thought. Her head was pounding; it was trying to escape. *No! I'm stronger then you!*She shut her eyes tightly, trying to block out the urge, but it kept coming up. She screamed; her head felt as if it was going to explode. She collapsed to the ground, writhing in pain. But still, her headache increased until all she could hear was the pounding in her ears. "Stop it!" She cried out, but she could barely hear herself. "*AGHHHHHHHHHHHH!"*She screamed. - Beepaw

Baypaw took a step back as Chestnutpaw leaped down. “Beepaw!” But Baypaw flicked her tail. “She’s fighting her own fight.” She started. “The demon...” Chestnutpaw looked to Baypaw. “But it’ll kill her!” She cried. “Only if she doesn’t fight back.” Baypaw didn’t take her gaze off of Beepaw’s wriggling body, flailing and hissing. She just watched. - Baypaw & Chestnutpaw

Beepaw screamed once more as the pain increased more and more, until everything went black. She woke up in a dark room, and she could see malignant red eyes glowing from afar. She could see it getting closer and closer... until it was right in front of her. She jumped slightly, but she still took a deep breath, and stared straight at the eyes, refusing to blink. She could hear a familiar voice calling her, but it seemed far away. She just.. stared. Until, it threw her back into reality and she gasped, waking up to Chestnutpaw calling her name. "I'm.. I'm fine.." She mumbled blearily. - Beepaw

Rosemarypaw watched the apprentices with wide eyes. - Rosemarypaw

Baypaw raised her paw from Chestnutpaw’s path. Allowing the she-cat to see her friend before being pulled away from Beepaw by Darkstorm and placed by Loststar once again. Baypaw then lowered. “Ready for round two?” She meowed, a grin lined her smile. She sheathed her claws as she flicked her tail. - Baypaw

Beepaw lifted her head. "..Always." - Beepaw

Baypaw lowered, she got ready and pounced. - Baypaw

Beepaw rolled to one side, and pounced onto Baypaw's back. "Can't catch me, slowpoke!" She said cheekily. - Beepaw

Baypaw grinned, “I see you can finally control that beast in you?” She then dashed Rolling on her back, starting to run after Beepaw, at least she wasn’t as ruthless as Baypaw thought, though the guild rolled away like a wave as she saw Chestnutpaw looking, *odd*.... - Baypaw

Beepaw rolled her eyes, before pausing dead in her tracks and letting Baypaw run into her. When Baypaw stumbled to the ground, she leapt onto her and put her paw on her neck, and looked smug. "Ready to forfeit?" - Beepaw

Baypaw hissed, shock filled her as she noticed one of Beepaw’s eyes were red, she hissed. “-never!” She spat, trying to reach her claws to Beepaw’s next. - Bay

Beepaw batted Baypaw's paws back to her side, and pressed her paw deeper into her throat. "I said... Do. You. Forfeit?" She growled. - Beepaw

Baypaw felt herself choke and she nodded, “I forfeit!” She croaked for air, she felt herself go dizzy until Beepaw let go of her. “Beepaw has succeeded.” Loststar announced, of course, he let Beepaw and Baypaw off. He looked around for another fun pair. An idea formed him his mind, he Technically wasn’t gonna kill Chestnutpaw, right? - Loststar

maple pounced on snail, her lavender scent thick. Snail squeaked, jumping out from under maple, scratching his side. He hissed, batting her as she scratched at his muzzle. --maple and snail kit

Beepaw chuckled. "Knew it." She got off of Baypaw, and helped her up. She looked up to Chestnutpaw, and smiled, her blood-red eye glinting in the afternoon sun. - Beepaw

Rosemarypaw kneaded the ground with her claws, eager to fight. - Rosemarypaw

Chestnutpaw bounded to her friend, laying her head on Beepaw’s shoulder, Baypaw flinched, did she, *like*, Beepaw? She felt increasingly jealous she got to her paws and looked to Chestnutpaw, who returned her with a sweet glance, she ket out a quiet gasp as she snarled. *After all I’ve done!* Her mind screeched. Hate filled her as she barked her teeth to Beepaw and Chestnutpaw she then looked behind her as she entered the apprentices den. - Baypaw

Beepaw laughed as Chestnutpaw came up to her. "Hey!" She nuzzled her, letting out a content sigh as Chestnutpaw laid her head on her shoulder. She could see Baypaw looking bemused and extremely angry, as she huffed and stomped off to the apprentices den. "Jeez, what's her problem?" She asked Chestnutpaw. - Beepaw

Chestnutpaw shrugged. “I dunno.” She meowed. “I guess she’s just mad she lost-.” She paused as she took a long look at her friend. “Your eyes.... one’s blue and the other’s red...” she mentioned. Looking to her red eye more deeply. - Chestnutpaw

Beepaw thought she would be more surprised, but she honestly didn't care too much. "Really..?" She asked nonchalantly. She just kept staring into Chestnutpaw's beautiful ocean eyes. "Well.. as long as I'm with you, i don't care. We can get through anything together!" - beepaw

Chestnutpaw felt a little warm inside, “Well, I know I can’t not agree.” She purred. Flicking her tail as she padded under the ledge and sat there with her friend. “I wonder how Foamheart and Conchsong are. I miss Flurrykit too.” She sighed mentioning her family pike a needle in her cracked heart. - Chestnutpaw

Beepaw stroked her back with her tail. "Hey, it's okay. Well.. I don't think I ever met my dad, but I miss my mom.. You know Stormytide right? Gosh, we've been here so long, I can't remember much about her.." - Beepaw

“Stormytide? Oh, I remember her, last I saw she was with Wildpaw before... you know.” She meowed, flicking her tail. “I always wonder if we’ll get out of here and finally live our lives. Crashpaw is being weird lately.” Her mind leaped from one thing to another. “He’s been more dark and quiet, like he’s hiding a secret from Me! I never thought he’d do that! I’m so worried for him....” - Chestnut

Kill her now wile she’s weak. Oaktrail’s voice echoed in Baypaws head. But she was with Chestnutpaw! How could she.... she shook her head, letting herself up and slipping out of the apprentices den. Then climbing slowly up the cliff out of Loststar’s sight as she then grimaced flicking her tail. Feeling Oaktrail’s gaze meet her pelt, scorching her fur as she waited to strike. - Baypaw

Beepaw felt bad for her. "Well, I never had a sibling, but Grasskit was like a brother to me.." She trailed off, still haunted by the sight of her dead friend, with his blood on her claws. She trembled slightly while blood began tracing down her cheeks from her eyes. - Beepaw

Chestnutpaw lay a paw on Beepaw’s paw. “It’s okay.” She meowed, “He risked his life to save you. And now you have control, right?” She meowed, letting her tail twine with Beepaw’s as they did before. “You aren’t the only one who’s lost someone you love.” She murmured. An image of Crashpaw flooded his mind, the way he looked to Beepaw and walked away. She shivered. - Chestnut

A poisonous grin sapped from Baypaw, she knew she couldn’t be seen, looking around she saw a rock. She hid behind a ledge and tossed the rock up and down in her paws as she then aimed and threw it at Beepaw’s head. Quickly taking a few steps back to hide herself. - bay

Beepaw went to respond when a rock hit her in the head. It wasn't too big, but she still stumbled, and the rocks under her crumbled away, sending her plummeting off the cliff. "*AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" -*Beepaw

(Causually watches-)-mushroompawsssssss

Baypaw chuckled quietly at the shrieks, Chestnutpaw gasped and let down her paw. - Bay

Beepaw reached out, and managed to snag a claw into a nook in the rock. But that didn't last long. Her claw ripped out, and pretty soon, she hit the rocks below. She could hear a sickening *crack*, and her back leg crumpled under her. She screamed out in pain, before taking a look back, and saw her back leg bent almost in half. She almost puked at the sight of it, before the pain got so unbearable, she passed out. - Beepaw

Crashpaw was restless in his nest as he attempted to force himself to sleep, yet he was incapable of doing so without having his sister beside him. He did not know if she was safe- it bothered him. The other kits? They couldn't be trusted anymore. Loststar had created a game of eat or be eaten. -- Crashpaw

snail screamed as she watched bee. Maple winced at his sister "what happened??". Snail shook "b-beepaw, was pushed-". Mushroom scrambled over to help the apprentice, fear gleaming in his eyes. -- maple and snail kit, mushroompaws

Loststar grinned as Glacierpaw dragged Beepaw back to his den. Chestnutpaw closed her eyes. Why couldn’t everything be better, safer, happier? Why did everyone have to get hurt? She felt harshness as she looked to Baypaw she was sitting by her friend. “I’m sorry Baypaw.” She sighed. “I wish we could be home.” She meowed. Baypaw sighed. “I know the feeling.” She meowed. - Chestnutpaw

Loststar raised a brow. “Well in that case if like to see Chestnutpaw and Crashpaw commence in combat.” He announced finally. He watched Chestnutpaw flinch. - Lost

Beepaw groaned in pain. She woke up in the medicine den, and she could see Glacierpaw doing medicine stuff. "Ngh... Where's Chestnutpaw..?" She tried getting up, but her leg was on fire. She groaned again, but still stayed on her paws. She hopped out in time to hear Loststar put Chestnutpaw up against.... *Crashpaw?!* "Hey!" She called. 'You can't do that to her!" - Beepaw

Loststar ignored the interferences and calls. He wanted to see if his student was really loyal. Of course “no killing” was a rule. Just for ‘his’ sake. He flicked his gaze to Crashpaw.

Glacierpaw gasped, “get back to the nest! Your wounds won’t get any better if you stand!” He ordered. - Lost + Glacier

snail watched bee from outside the apprentice den, her worries being put to rest. Mushroom sat in the middle of the camp with maple, grinning. --snail, maple, and mushroom

Beepaw shoved Glacierpaw away, and hopped over to Chestnutpaw. "Are you okay? I can't believe he's making you do that!" - Beepaw

Crashpaw could feel his heart in his throat. Was Loststar that cruel, intentionally making him suffer when he knew that he couldn't possibly harm his sister? The apprentice held onto the leader's gaze with a ruthless glare before looking to Chestnutpaw. *She's so much better of a cat.* He felt his stomach tense as he stared into his littermate's eyes. "Just kill me," he murmured in a low voice, body tense. -- Crashpaw

Chestnutpaw was frozen, feeling like time stopped. “No.” She gulped. looking to her paws. How could she do this? Who was Loststar to make her? She just stared at him, would he attack her? Would Loststar kill Crashpaw if he didn’t? She felt her paws glue to the floor, Loststar’s gaze burned into her fur. - Chestnutpaw

"You don't understand," Crashpaw said quickly, once more speaking in a low tone of voice to avoid detection from up above. "Just *do it*, Chestnutpaw." -- Crashpaw

Chestnutpaw felt her voice shudder. “That’s not allowed.” She meowed. What was he talking about? “Loststar said that wasn’t allowed.” She shivered. It was like this would never end, when would there be an ending, when she let Loststar kill her? Would Loststar kill her? She felt her scruff prickle. - Chestnut

Loststar looked to Crashpaw. *I could kill her right you you disloyal slime*. It would be easy to land claws first on her neck. He just flicked his tail as the camp grew silent. - Lost

"Then you need to win." Crashpaw said quickly, quickly shooting a glance in Loststar's direction to ensure that the leader wasn't attempting anything. He felt his muscles tense along his legs, and his claws sink into the earth to stabilize himself. "*Now*." -- Crashpaw

mushroom glared at lost, whispering into maples ear "*run, find the closest clan, and tell the leader*". As maple ran out of the clan mushroom got up, hissing. --mushroompaws and maplepaws

Chestnutpaw hated this feeling, she knew she had to. She fought the tension and leaped at her brother raking her claws on his cheek, staggering back. “I can’t do this.” She cried to herself. Those wounds felt as her own, - Chestnut.

Beepaw's heart was breaking for Chestnutpaw. She sent a withering stare towards Loststar, but he didn't seem to care. She gave her a sympathic glance. "Be safe, please. If he tries anything, I'll protect you." she murmured. - Beepaw

Chestmutpaw shook her head to her friend. “You can’t help me.” She meowed, hurting. “This is my problem.” She added, looking away from Beepaw and meeting her brother’s gaze. - Chetsnut

((BRB, going to have some s'mores)) It as an agonizing situation. He didn't want to torture his sister- not physically, not mentally. He gritted his teeth as he stood still, allowing his littermate to wound but his face. He couldn't force her to do this, he didn't want to mentally scar her for life. But he wouldn't kill or harm her, either. Seeing that he had no option, Crashpaw leaped onto his sister and used his superior muscle-mass to pin her against the earth. With his muzzle dangerously close to her ears, he spoke hotly, "I won't let him hurt you. He has to go through *me* first, and we both know how sturdy I am. I'll bounce back, I promise." Swiveling around and releasing his sister, he turned to face Loststar with his eyes narrowed. "Hey, bee for brains! Yeah you, up there!" He squinted. "Why don't you come pick on someone your own size, rather than watching apprentices beat each other up for your own sick amusement?" He didn't have that Whiterose clown to do his bidding for him anymore.  -- Crashpaw

Loststar narrowed his eyes. “I’m sure you aren’t that cat who’s my own size.” He hissed. “Why don’t you resume this thrilling fight?” He growled. He knew he was letting this apprentice win. He did like the idea of killing Crashpaw, but why would he let the tom have peace when he could torture the tom? Why not get his sister? Though he stood his ground. - Loststar

Chestnutpaw felt worry bottle in her. “He’ll kill you.” She murmured back to her brother. “I can’t let him hurt you either.” She meowed. - Chestnut

Rosemarypaw stiffened at Crashpaw's words. *Not many cats can challenge Loststar like that,* she thought. - Rosemarypaw

Beepaw hissed at Loststar. It took all her self-control not to leap at him and claw the look off his face. He would suffer his consequences eventually... She would make sure of it. She also knew with her leg the way it was, she couldn't do anything. Then she realized... someone must have thrown the rock at her, causing her to stumble. She knew then that someone had tried to murder her.. - Beepaw

Baypaw watched Loststar through narrowed eyes. “You stupid piece of dung!” She spat. “Chestnutpaw doesn’t deserve this!” She looked to her friend, her gaze troubled but Chestnutpaw didn’t look from her brother. Baypaw was about to ramble on until Oaktrail’s scent drew her gaze behind Loststar, he traced his claws on his next to where there had been blood dripping. Oh, he wants me to.... Baypaw shook herself and Oaktrail was gone. She looked to Beepaw, her thoughts troubled. Did she want to kill the apprentice anymore? Of course, Chestnutpaw never hung out with Baypaw anymore, it was all about this demon. - Baypaw

Beepaw could feel eyes burning into her side, so she looked over, and saw Baypaw glaring at her. She raised an eyebrow, then dismissed it. She had no time for petty squabbles. She still needed to figure out who tried to murder her. Then she looked back over. Baypaw had been acting pretty toxic around her. What if... - Beepaw

"Don't worry about me," Crashpaw responded to his sister, his vision locked on the cruel dark-pelted leader. Sniffing, he raised his chin as he faced Loststar. "You can take those words and eat 'em!" -- Crashpaw

Mushroom quietly padded toward snail. "Snail, I have to talk to you...your brother has run away, and I want you to too, our leader will try to hurt you otherwise, so just, run" he nudged her toward the exit. She ran, tears streaming from her eyes.--mushroom and snail

Pebblekit stood at the back of the clearing, watching every quarrel and argument, hardly noticed. "This has gone too far..." Pebblekit groaned. Baypaw had been glaring at Beepaw, who was glaring at Loststar, who was glaring at about everything he can control. *I don't want to... but it might be best to leave here, now.* He ran out of the camp, blowing past the TundraClan warriors. -Pebble

Frosty yawned and padded out of her makehift den, which was just a dead elder bush. She had started out, ready to leave this frozen wasteland, when she saw a kit pelting towards her. "Hey- Look out!" She called. - Frosty

Baypaw murmured as she watched Crashpaw. That stupid furball was gone get himself killed, she watched from the ledge chestnutpaw was formerly on. - Bay

Loststar hissed. Though chuckled. “You really think you can beat me one in one? I have 9 lives and you have one,” he started. “Unless you’d risk a little interference that might cost you?” He meowed. Flicking his tail, Chestnutpaw was his, he could do anything to her by force. - Loststar

He hesitated. He couldn't risk having his sister killed either way. "I'll fight anyone else you'd like, anyone but my sister... I'd fight them to the death, even. I know you'd love that." -- Crashpaw

Loststar rolled his eyes. “Fine.” He hissed. “But she stays by me.” he looked around for anyone to put against him. “Why not my pretty apprentice Driftpaw, I’m sure she’ll shred you to bits.” He meowed. Chestnutpaw was taken to his side once again and he kept a steady gaze on Crashpaw. - Lost

*Finally*, her mentor seemed to have some sense! Eagerly, the well-trained lynx point stepped forward with an eager twitch of her feathered tail, facing the lean the lean tom before her. "You're a fool," Driftpaw hissed before launching herself at Crashpaw without a moment of hesitation writhing with the younger tom as she attempted to get the upper hand in their skirmish. The she-cat snapped her jaws relentlessly at the tom's throat, but Crashpaw proceeded to stiff-arm the TundraClan apprentice so that he could avoid having his throat ripped out. Finally, he raked his claws down the front of Driftpaw's face so that she had to break free. Driftpaw stepped back momentarily, shaking the droplets of blood from her whiskers before she leaped into combat once more, leaping onto his back and using her superior semi-adult size and weight to roll with Crashpaw before throwing him into a nearby pile of sharp rocks. -- Driftpaw & Crashpaw

Chestnutpaw shrieked. “Crashpaw!” She yowled, she hated Loststar, she hated Driftpaw, she wanted to go home! She watched through eager eyes. - Chestnut

He was only mortal, only a young apprentice, so of course, he was still exhausted from his battle with Whiterose but the day before. He was still recovering from his wounds. The sharpness of the rocks, combined with the frigid TundraClan air, had cut through his flesh like butter, leaving him with several wounds along his back. A high-pitched noise rang in his ears while his head spun, and only he could see was the faint outline of Driftpaw triumphantly marching forward. "I should just let you bleed out, pitiful furball. TundraClan apprentices were always superior to you worthless outsiders." Driftpaw growled as she pressed her paw into one of Crashpaw's open wounds, just to inflict pain and watch him squirm. -- Driftpaw & Crashpaw

Chestnutpaw leaked over Loststar’s tail, running for Driftpaw, she bit into Driftpaw’s scruff. “Leave him alone you fox hearted cat!” She hissed tugging on Driftpaw’s scruff and stepping on her tail. - Chestnut

Once more using her size to her advantage, Driftpaw allowed herself to roll into the hard TundraClan snow to squash Chestnutpaw. "How cute- you two want to die together." -- Driftpaw

Chestnutpaw tried to squeeze away and barely managed to escape, “geez do you ever groom yourself? Your fur is like pins and needles!” She commented, looking for something to use against Driftpaw. “We aren’t gonna die! We’re gonna win!” *Somehow*- She looked around before racing to the pile of rocks Crashpaw was next to. “Crashpaw.” She sighed, turning over and using her hind paws to flail rocks at Driftpaw, trying not to hit her brother. - Chestnut

Driftpaw ignored the dark tabby's comment and ducked away from the flying rocks. She wrinkled her nose before glancing towards her mentor. "What? Do you want me to kill them *both* now?" -- Driftpaw

Loststar shrugged. “Just make em’ hurt, have your fun.” He meowed to his apprentice. He didn’t car what she did to these two, killing them would be simple, but how could he make them suffer? - Lost

The pretty lynx point shrugged her shoulders. *I guess I could use this as an option to 'vent' my irritation.* She thought to herself before stalking forward, targeting Chestnutpaw. Clearly, Crashpaw was out for the count now. Now, she planned to sent Chestnutpaw flying off the rock pile, to inflict similar damage that she had inflicted upon Crashpaw. -- Driftpaw

Beepaw saw what Driftpaw was doing to the apprentices, and she finally couldn't stand by any longer. She pounced unevenly, landing on Driftpaw, but cause of her injury, she fell off almost instantly. She still got up, desperate to divert Driftpaw's attention from the beaten apprentices to her. "Hey, idiot. Remember me? You're still just as ugly as the last time we met." - Beepaw

((I'd rather Driftpaw just fight one cat at once)) - Whiskers

(Okay, sorry. I'm just bored. I'm just trying to avoid my chores as long as possible. I honestly don't care what she does to Beepaw, as long as she doesn't kill her.) - Fire

Chetsnutpaw hissed as she’d met gazes with Driftpaw, flicking her tail and bristling, standing in front of Crashpaw, she looked to Glacierpaw, “take him!” She ordered, Glacierpaw flinched before he started to drag Crashpaw to his den. - Chestnut

With Beepaw in no shape to fight, Driftpaw knew she'd find no entertainment out of it. She instead focused on Chestnutpaw with a deep snarl. "You should've run back home when you had the chance." The trained apprentice launched herself at Chestnutpaw, with the intention of tossing her into the rock formation as well. -- Driftpaw

Chestnutpaw blinked several times, she wasn’t gonna be scared! She quickly tried to jump away though she found her tail stomped on and hissed. She then found a way to strike as she ran in circles around Driftpaw, leaping in the pile of rocks before she could slip down, she leaped onto Driftpaw’s back and ripped at her ears and batted the apprentice’s Eyes. - Chestnut

With the apprentice foolishly on her back once more, Driftpaw used the situation to her advantage. With Chestnutpaw clinging to her, Driftpaw rammed the apprentice into the rock formation with full force. -- Driftpaw

Chetsnutpaw felt the air knocked out of her, she lay on the floor still recovering from the shock, her body hurt and she felt herself in low energy. She glanced to where Glacierpaw was dragging Crashpaw, at least he was okay. She sighed and looked up to Driftpaw, she could never win, but she knew she tried. She tried to get up but her legs shakes and she just snarled at the apprentice. - Chetsnut

Chetsnutpaw hissed as she’d met gazes with Driftpaw, flicking her tail and bristling, standing in front of Crashpaw, she looked to Glacierpaw, “take him!” She ordered, Glacierpaw flinched before he started to drag Crashpaw to his den. - Chestnut

((time for the good boy)) Driftpaw prepared to strike Chestnutpaw while she was down, only to have her claws connect with Shypaw instead. The medicine cat apprentice had scented blood and leaped into action, only to take Chestnutpaw's blow for her. He squealed in pain before backing off, dragging Chestnutpaw by the scruff. "Stop it! Stop fighting!" -- Shypaw

Beepaw looked at Chestnutpaw with relief, glad she was okay. She felt bad for Crashpaw, though. She hopped up, choosing to ignore Driftpaw for the moment. "I'm sorry you had to do that..." - Beepaw

Chestnutpaw felt her gaze widen, why..... he got to her paws but it was hard to keep it that way, she looked to Shypaw questioningly before turning to Loststar. The leader narrowed his eyes, murmuring something she couldn’t make out. “Fine. Driftpaw, you’ve had your fun.” He meowed. Chetsnutpaw leaned on Shypaw but with the shock he’d been brave enough to save her.... she couldn’t pull herself to find words. - Chestnutpaw

"Fine." Driftpaw scowled in the direction of her mentor with her pelt prickling, padding off in a different direction. -- Driftpaw

Shypaw had no idea who this cat was- he couldn't see them, nor could he really tell her scent because of the overwhelming stench of blood from the several fights. "I-I'll help you," he tried to promise Chestnutpaw. Really, he didn't know much of what to do, he just started to learn. -- Shypaw

Chestnutpaw nodded. “Okay.” She meowed, twitching her whiskers as they headed for the wall of the medicine cats den, “watch out! Keep going forwards and then turn.” She suggested. Was he seeing okay? - Chestnut

"Loststar blinded me," Shypaw said quickly, deciding to accept the fate that he was forcefully given. "I can't see, but I-I need to run into things. It's the only way I'll l-learn." He accidentally stumbled over Crashpaw on the way in, but the exhuasted tom was unresponsive to Shypaw's accident. He was getting used to the awkward tortoiseshell making stupid mistakes. -- Shypaw & Crashpaw

Chestnutpaw nodded. “Okay.” She meowed, a little nervous. “Will you get better?” She asked, stepping over her brother, letting her tail lay on his head. Her back ached with scattered scratches from the rocks and she felt it harder to breathe because of heavy Driftpaw. But she turned her attention back to her savior. - Chestnut

"I-I don't know..." Really, Shypaw didn't want to talk about it, because he was fearful that he'd never get to be better. Would he forget the color of his mother's fur, or the color of his favorite flowers? "Let's just, um, get the pebbles out of your wounds." Shypaw decided, recalling that it was important for wounds to be cleaned. "Y-You don't want to get an infection. This might hurt. s-sorry." -- Shypaw

Chestnutpaw noticed the tom’s shivery shuddering. “It’s okay.” She meowed. Though it did sting. “Your doing great.” She managed to say before she unsheathed her claws and dug them into the ground for the pain. She turned her attention to Crashpaw. “Crashpaw, are you alright?” She meowed. - Chestnut

“So. Torn leg?” Baypaw leaped from the ledge and landed on her paws gracefully. Looking to Beepaw. - bay

Beepaw glanced over, wary. "Yeah... well, not really torn, more like shattered. I fell off a cliff. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you, Baypaw?" - Beepaw

"H-He'll probably be sleeping for a while." Shypaw was frustrated with his anxious behavior and stutter. It only made him further embarrassed, and therefore more frustrated with himself. He continued to run his paw over Chestnutpaw's back to feel for wounds and potential rock shards. "You sh-should both rest as much as you can." -- Shypaw

Chestnutpaw sighed. “I guess you’re right.” She meowed. Laying her head on her paws. She then looked back to Shypaw even if he didn’t see her. “Thank you for that back there.” She meowed. “You didn’t have to do it.” She meowed. “for a cat named Shypaw, you were pretty brave.” She added. - Chestnut

Baypaw shrugged. “Nah. I wouldn’t really have cared any less- why didn’t you stay in the medicine cats den? I’m sure that blind cat in there could’ve done something like smother you in cobwebs.” She meowed. Flicking her tail, she had an edge to her tone. - Bay

The apprentice flushed red with embarrassment. "I-I didn't mean t-to, h-honest." He spluttered, feeling shameful for admitting it. "I c-couldn't see that Driftpaw was going to h-hit you because I-I can't see at all." -- Shypaw

Rosemarypaw, who had been watching everything, took a step into the blood-stained clearing. - Rosemarypaw

Chestnutpaw chuckled. “Well You saved me anyway, right?” She meowed. She then lay her head on her paws again and closed her eyes, today was exhausting, though she wanted to help Shypaw, maybe she would give him advice? - Chestnut

"I-I guess. It's my duty, as a m-medicine cat in training." An apprentice being trained by an apprentice, more like it. Fortunately, Glacierpaw was nice and patient with him. He liked his somewhat unofficial mentor. -- Shypaw

Beepaw sighed. "I'm worried about Chestnutpaw... She might not be doing too good, and now I'm scared someone is trying to murder me. If you find anything out, please let me know." - Beepaw

Glacierpaw plucked the last pebble from Crashpaw’s open wounds. “So, how about your wounds?” He asked Shypaw, not looking up from his work, pushing some Marigold to his apprentice, murmuring. “We need the catchweed to keep the poultices on....” he then remembered. “And use some sweet sedge for the infections, you might also wanna lick the blood away. And some wet moss....” - Glacierpaw

Baypaw snorted. “No promises.” She barked. “I know who tried.” She admitted. - Baypaw

"I-I feel ok," Shypaw admitted as he blindly reached towards the marigold to chew and apply it. He wasn't eager to groom any blood away- couldn't Chestnutpaw do that on her own? He was an awkward and shy cat, and it just...didn't sit well with him. It made him feel funny. -- Shypaw

Glacierpaw nodded. “You should check yourself later though. You never know what’ll happen. Driftpaw must’ve hit you hard.” He meowed. Applying yucky paste to Crashpaw’s wounds. He looked up to see Seawhisper bristling and he paused. “One sec.” he meowed to his apprentice, then going to the entrance to gasp with horror. Loststar had ripped his claws into a calico she-cat’s throat and pushed the tom down the steep cliff. He dashed out of the den to drag the she-cat back to the medicine cats den. “Hurry so we can get this one! She’s from WillowClan.” He meowed.

Loststar then blindly leaped onto the black tom. This tom was scrawny. He looked after the calico as he then scrambled up and chased after her, Loststar had released his grip. “Driftpaw, why don’t you make sure no one else is snooping around,” he ordered as he watched. - Shadowhollow, Loststar, Dawnrise, Glacierpaw

He felt a small drop of hope puddle out in his chest. *WillowClan? Have they come here to save us?* Shypaw raced to his mentor's side, using the tom's voice and the fresh scent of blood to guide him. Yet, there was something familiar here- the way the she-cat's fur felt, the way her scent brougth him comfort. Then, it hit him like a rock: this was his *mother*, and she was *dying*. His fur bristled and his emotions got  the best of him. "M-Mom?" -- Shypaw

Driftpaw beamed. "Gladly," the apprentice responded as she rushed to the edges of camp to begin her investigation. -- Driftpaw

Rosemarypaw bristled. *WillowClan?* - Rosemarypaw

Beepaw pricked her ears with interest. "You know who? Please tell me, Bayp- Wait... what's that smell? WillowClan?!" - Beepaw

Dawnrise flicked her gaze to the tortoiseshell tom. “Shykit? StarClan, we actually found you.” She purred, feeling her grip on her spirit fading, she coughed up blood as she saw the pool where a chunk of her flesh was ripped from her throat. Shadowhollow loomed over her. She felt tired, Dawnrise was breaking in light rasps. “Shykit, we came to take you and Forestkit home- But...” she knew she was gonna go either way. - Dawnrise

Blossomkit hid under a holly bush from Driftpaw, of course she was a little kit and didn’t know better, she let her muzzle show as if she was trying to hide. - Blossomkit

Baypaw flicked her ears to the scent. “WillowClan came.” She murmured until she saw the two cats. “Not.” She meowed then she then turned and padded on the cliff again. - Bay

Beepaw shook her head. "Wait, Baypaw! Come back! Who tried to kill me? You said you knew! You have to tell me. Please, this is important." - beepaw

Baypaw narrowed her eyes. “Why should I tell you? What would you possibly do about it?” She demanded. - Bay

Beepaw hissed. "I don't get why you have a problem with me. I never did anything to you! Now just tell me!" - Beepaw

Baypaw slinked her tail and stood on the rigid exterior of the cliff. “Me.” She meowed. Leaping higher to where she was before. Looking down to Beepaw. Not saying another word. Her expression was bland. Wile Oaktrail appeared behind Beepaw she shook her head and he was gone, she flattened her ears. - Baypaw

Beepaw's eyes widened with shock for a split second, then she just sighed. "Gosh... i don't even care anymore. I should've guessed. I tried to being nice to you. Just, tell me why. Please." - Beepaw

Baypaw snorted. “Guess. You’re turning Chestnutpaw against me. It’s your demon’s fault. You’re nothing without it besides a scared. innocent. furball.” She hissed. “It’s for her own good to be away from you.” She meowed. “And Oaktrail will help me rid the clans of you.” She lay on a ledge, chin raised, and looking down to Beepaw. - Baypaw

Beepaw lowered her head. She knew deep down, Baypaw was right. "I might be a demon, but I love Chestnutpaw. And you'll have to kill me if you want to keep me away. And I doubt Chestnutpaw would ever want to be your friend after what you've done. You're a petty monster. You're the real demon here." Beepaw looked up at her with defiance in her eyes. But something still bothered her. Who was Oaktrail? - Beepaw

Baypaw chuckled. “We’ll see.” As she flicked her tail. She looked around camp. “We’ll see.” She repeated. - Baypaw

Chetsmutpaw looked up from her slumber, was it always this loud- she looked up to see Shypaw looking with disbelief at a calico she-cat. She must’ve been his mother. She looked to the sleeping Crashpaw as Danwrise pushed Glacierpaw away. “No.” She meowed to the medicine cat. “Don’t waste you’re herbs on me.” She meowed. “I’m not afraid to die. I’m with my lost kits.” She wheezed. Chestnutpaw got up and watched... - Chestnut

"Mom..." the medicine cat apprentice whispered in an unsteady voice, pressing his muzzle into her bloodied fur. "...I-I can't see.... I'm scared." Shypaw admitted as his emotions had him by the throat. He felt his entire frame began to quiver. "... It's ok, momma. I love you. Wherever you are is h-home. It's ok to...to let go. I-I know you'll a-always be with me." -- Shypaw

Beepaw snarled. "I'll make sure you never go near Chestnutpaw again. I won't have you hurting her." She whipped around, and went over to the medicine den. "Chestnutpaw, we need to talk" she panted. - Beepaw

Dawnrise nuzzled her son. “it’ll be okay.” she whispered. “You’re my brave little boy.” She felt her voice fade as she lay her head down and descended to StarClan. - Dawnrise

Chestnutpaw gasped. She hadn’t heard Beepaw as she frowned to Shypaw. He needed a friend. She sighed. “Shypaw, I’m so sorry.” She murmured. Though she flicked her ear to Beepaw. “What.... what is it....” she meowed. - Chestnut

He didn't know where his brother was in that moment, he wanted him to be there, but...Shypaw hadn't seen him in a long time. He had never felt so alone in that moment, as he waited for StarClan to relieve his mother of her pain and suffering. "It-It's ok..." He repeated shakily, "I-I will always love you...please don't suffer...j-just close your eyes and sleep..." -- Shypaw

Beepaw saw what was happening to Shypaw, and as heart-breaking as it was, she needed to protect Chestnutpaw. "We need to go somewhere more... private. There's something really important I need to tell you that no one else needs to know." She looked at Chestnutpaw, seriousness flooding her eyes. - Beepaw

Shypaw finally collapsed by his mother when she passed on into a better world. Was this what it was like, being a medicine cat? Watching them all die? The blind apprentice pulled himself closer to the body of his mother to grieve in silence. He was all alone now. He had no home to go to. -- Shypaw

Chestnutpaw send a final glance to Shypaw before turning to go with Beepaw. “What? What’s So wrong that I can’t comfort a Shypaw for? His mother just died.” She meowed. - Chestnut

(could drift find Blossom?) Blossomkit left her tail sticking out of the holly bush, she watched the pale apprentice pass by her and grinned, but fear clutched her heart, where was Momma and Pappa? Of course they’d went ahead, they never knew where she was.... was it right to follow them? - Blossom

Beepaw sighed. "I know, and I'm really sorry. You can go after this. I just need to tell you... Just.. stay away from Baypaw. You know how I fell off the cliff? Well... she threw a rock at my head to make me fall, and she just admitted to it." She angled her ears to where Baypaw was brooding on the cliff. - Beepaw

Driftpaw sank her teeth and pulled when she found a tail, but was disgusted to find another kit. It seemed that those scummy outsiders were set on plaguing her clan. "What are you doing trespassing here, filth?" -- Driftpaw

Rosemarypaw was tired of sitting around, so she started to walk. Suddenly, her paw skidded on a patch of slippery mud, and she fell on her chin. *Ouch!* - Rosemarypaw

Beepaw sighed. "Just be careful, Chestnutpaw." She got up, only to hear a cat slip. She looked around and saw Rosemarypaw flat on her chin. She padded over, grabbing her scruff in her jaws and helping her up. "Hey, you okay, Rosemarypaw?" - Beepaw

Rosemarypaw wiped mud off her chin. "I'm okay," she mewed. "Thanks." She got up. - Rosemarypaw

Chestnutpaw stared. “Oh...” she looked to Baypaw who returned her with a steady gaze. She felt her tail twitch as she nodded to her friend. “Of course.... I’m so sorry Beepaw...” she sighed. Looking back she padded to sit by Shypaw. “I’m sorry.” She meowed.

Blossomkit shivered as she didn’t answer but she just hung there like an opossum. Pretending to be dead wouldn’t hurt right? This cat would surely drop her, where was Dawnrise? Or Shadowhollow? - Blossom

"Its ok," Shypaw said quickly as he pressed himself closer to the body of his mother, squeezing his weightless eyes shut. He drew in a long, shaky breath. "S-She will always be with me. E-even if...I physically am alone." -- Shypaw

With no answer being given, Driftpaw gave the kit a ruthless shake. "Answer me, or else I'll feed you to Loststar!" -- Driftpaw

Blossomkit shrieked. “Where’s m-momma...” she cried. - Blossomkit

Chestnutpaw sighed. “Just because you can’t use your eyes doesn’t mean you can’t see.” She meowed. She sighed as she looked around Baypaw escaped her mind. Though she wondered why she would try and kill Beepaw. Jealousy? Maybe. “I’ll try to help.” She promised Shypaw. Though wondered. How many other cats would come here? - Chestnut

Beepaw smiled. "Glad your okay. Anyways, wanna go get some food? I'm starving." -Beepaw
