i just wanted to start up a writing archive since we'll be on the new thread soon

Code: Select all: [center][size=200]Irisclan[/size] [size=85][b]Number of Cats:[/b] twenty nine | [b]Next Starclan Visit:[/b] n/a | [b]Pebbles:[/b] 37[/size] [size=85][quote="✑ mod notes ✑"]✑nothin much, i hope everyone is doing well.[/quote] [quote="➣ writing ➣"]➣ [b]Snowfinch[/b] had gone out alone that day to collect herbs. She left Copperpaw to sort herbs on his own as she trusted him with that job. As her trip went on, she began to feel a slight wave of worry wash over her. Was it really a smart idea to go out alone? After all, she was albino, leaving her with extremely poor eyesight. While the molly was still able to see somethings, it wasn't enough to protect her well if she was in danger. The fur along her spine began to bristle in fear as she could no longer scent the comforting scent of her clan. "Oh dear," She muttered nervously under her breath. The white she-cat began to anxiously whip her head around, hoping for something familiar to pop up. In her slight panic, she felt herself slam into something. The molly heard a soft grunt and she was overwhelmed by an unfamiliar scent. Snowfinch let out a yelp and began to back up in fear. "Woah- are you okay?" Came a new voice. "Please don't hurt me!" Snowfinch gasped, shaking. "I'm not going to hurt you, I promise," The voice reassured her. The medicine cat let her fur lay down a bit, but she was still on guard and still shaking. She pinpointed the shape of the stranger and looked directly at them, her round ears flattened against her head. "Wh-Who are you?" Snowfinch asked, trying her best to keep her voice clear. "I'm Oceangaze from Islandclan," He said, introducing himself. "What are you doing here?" The molly asked cautiously. "I feel like I should be asking you the same," Oceangaze chuckled. "Are you alright? You bumped into me quite hard." "I-I'm fine, thank you for asking," She responded quickly, trying to smooth down her fur with a few short licks. "I really don't like repeating myself. What are you doing here?" "Walking," Oceangaze answered with a slight shrug. "What about you? You look a little lost." "I [i]am[/i] a little lost if I'm being honest," Snowfinch said shyly. "Well, before I offer any help, can I have your name?" The tom asked. "Snowfinch," She answered gently. "Are you a clan cat?" "Yes, I'm the medicine cat of Irisclan." "Huh, okay," Oceangaze flicked his tail tip. "Do you need help getting back to your border?" "I-I wouldn't mind some help," Snowfinch said, shifting her paws. "Well, let's get moving then!" Oceangaze said cheerfully. The two turned around and began to follow Snowfinch's scent trail as they traveled back towards Irisclan. As they walked towards the medicine cat's territory, they chatted lightly, getting to know each other a bit. Snowfinch enjoyed Oceangaze's company, he was nice to be around. As they reached the border, Snowfinch began to feel hesitant to leave her new friend. She turned around and glanced at the warrior. "Will I ever see you again?" She asked. "I'm not quite sure," Oceangaze responded. "Well, it was nice meeting you. Thank you for helping me back," The she-cat said, dipping her head. She tried her best to hide the slight sadness in her voice. "You too, Snowfinch," Oceangaze said, dipping his head to her as well before turning around and walking away. Snowfinch couldn't help but feel a little lonely as he padded the opposite direction. Any thoughts were quickly interrupted by a loud crashing and hissing coming from the bushes next to her. The white she-cat jumped back, startled. Out of the bushes tumbled two cats. It was Bramblestorm and an unknown rogue. They were rolling around, tussling angrily. The deputy threw off the intruder and jumped to her paws, shaking her coat. "Whew- Oh! Snowfinch! Hello there! Where have you been all day?" The brown tabby asked. She spoke as if nothing had just happened and she hadn't just been wrestling with a rogue. "Uh- I don't really think that's an issue right now, our new company looks a bit upset," Snowfinch said quickly. "Bramblestorm- ack!" Brindleleap tripped out of the bushes after her, causing another crashing sound, making the medicine cat wince. The rogue that Bramblestorm had just been fighting was sitting, hunched over, and growling while he licked his scratches and fur back in place. Zephyrrush pushed out of the bushes after Brindleleap, dragging a younger rogue by her scruff. Fortunately, he didn't fall. "Don't you hurt her!" The older rogue snapped, jumping to his feet again. "Relax, we won't. We have no intention to either," Zephyrrush said, releasing the younger cat's scruff. She scrambled to her paws and ran to hide behind the tom. "We just want to talk civilly, but you pounced at Bramblestorm." "She gave me a threatening look!" The rogue tom hissed back, lashing his tail angrily. "To be fair, you're on our territory and we have no clue who you are," Bramblestorm said, shrugging. "But really, no hard feelings." Snowfinch padded to Brindleleap, who was now on his paws. She gave him a quick sniff, but relaxed when she saw there was no serious injury on him. "Could you tell us your names?" Bramblestorm asked, flicking her ears impatiently. The deputy could keep a level head in any situation, but it was obvious that these two had been giving her patrol a bit of trouble if she was letting her irritation show through. "Why should we?" The tom snarled, the fur along his spine beginning to bristle. "Hey, hey, hey, look there is no hostile intent from us. The worst we could really do is just send you away with a few scratches," Zephyrrush said. "If you cooperate with us, we could help you. The she-cat, she looks hungry. I don't think either of you have had a proper meal in a long time." The younger rogue dipped her head in embarrassment, and the tom flexed his claws in and out as though he were pondering what to do. "Would you be able to give us food and shelter?" He asked cautiously, squinting skeptically at the patrol. "Yes, but you would have to join and support our clan if you want long term food and shelter." Bramblestorm told him. "Well what's so great about it?" The rogue challenged. "It's an organized life, we care for each other, we learn and grow together. We're like one big family. We could use all the cats we could get, and you'll be treated like one of us. You'll have shelter, food, and friends. Maybe one day you may even have a family. We will protect you." The black and white tom's gaze wandered around as he contemplated the deputy's offer. He looked at the younger rogue she-cat, and then back to the deputy. "We'll join," He said with a firm nod. "My name is Wind, and this is my daughter, Peach." "Follow us, we'll show you to our camp," Bramblestorm said, beckoning with her tail. "Not to be uh- rude or anything, but how is she your daughter?" Brindleleap asked. "Brindleleap! You don't ask other cats these things, that's quite disresp-" Zephyrrush's scolding was cut off by Wind waving his tail. "I don't mind," The rogue said, shrugging. "I found Peach as a kit, she was abandoned by her mother and she was starving. I couldn't just let her stay alone." "You have good morals it seems," Bramblestorm commented. "I hope so," Wind sighed. "I just want the best for her, that's all." Peach ducked her head shyly, pressing closer to Wind. "Welcome to Irisclan," Bramblestorm said as they entered the camp.[/quote] [quote="★ actions ★"]★ the clan consumes [b]two mice[/b], [b]one small fish[/b] and [b]two shrews[/b]. ★ [b]Blueivy[/b] gives

12/7/19 || snowfinch, zephyrrush, and honeysneeze || 255 words

writing wrote:zephyrrush stretched, his front paws tremoring a bit. honeysneeze let out a giggle and padded past him. the tabby tom bounced to his paws and sped up to walk beside her.

"it's so beautiful today," honeysneeze sighed, her orange gaze wandering around the valley.

"not as beautiful as you," zephyrrush purred.

"oh shut up," honeysneeze chuckled. "when are you going to confess your undying love to me?"

"w-what?" zephyrrush was caught off guard by what the she-cat had said. was it really that obvious? his stomach flipped and he felt hot under his pelt.

"wait... do you not like me back?" honeysneeze felt embarrassed, her face was screwed up into a frown.

"no! no! I-I do like you! I was just caught off guard, that's all," zephyrrush said, stopping dead in his tracks and facing the white and brown she-cat. "honeysneeze, will you be my mate?"

"of course, silly!" honeysneeze purred. the young molly stepped forward and nuzzled the grey tom, but their affectionate moment was interrupted by someone clearing their throat.

"hello?" the two cats turned and faced a very short and plump cat molly. she was pure white, and had unusual pinkish red eyes.

"oh! h-hello?" honeysneeze said, confused.

"i'm lost," the white molly explained. "and i can't... see very well..."

"can you see at all?" zephyrrush questioned, his tail tip twitching curiously.

"y-yes!" the stranger snapped, flustered and offended.

"let's bring her to horizonstar, she'll know what to do," honeysneeze said. zephyrrush nodded and the three cats headed back to irisclan camp.

"yes?" the grey tabby stretched before sitting up. "what is it, dear?"

honeysneeze smiled. "i-i-i'm expecting kits!"

zephyrrush's eyes lit up with happiness at the news. he rushed forward, nuzzling his mate's cheek and purring loudly. honeysneeze let out a cheerful laugh and rubbed her cheek against his.

"i-i'm gonna be a dad!" zephyrrush said excitedly. "you're gonna be a mom! we're-we're gonna be parents!"

"yes, love," honeysneeze giggled.

5/17/20 || goosecall and blueivy || 297 words

writing wrote:Goosecall's stomach turned and flipped with anxiety as he walked along side his mate, Blueivy. She had asked him if they could go for a walk in private because she had something important to discuss. The only thing Goosecall could think of is if he did something wrong. He felt like he was going to pass out practically!

The pair stopped by a small stream and Blueivy sat down, curling her tail around her paws. Goosecall copied her, nervous of what the she-cat was going to say next. The sleek furred molly turned her head slowly and stared into her mate's eyes. There was a moment of silence, and Goosecall's heart was beating hard. His anxiety melted as a soft smile spread across his mate's face.

"Oh you idiot, don't look so scared!" She purred playfully, jabbing him in the shoulder with her forepaw. "It's nothing bad! Goosecall, I'm expecting kits!"

"O-Oh!" His eyes widened in shock. He was sure she was going to tell him that she secretly hated him or something!

"Are you- Are you upset?" Blueivy cocked her head to the side in confusion.

"No! I'm so happy! I-I don't know what to say!" A smile came to his face as well and he jumped to his feet and began to prance in place. "I-I didn't expect this! I thought you were going to bring me out here and go 'Oh Goosecall you're smelly and you snore when you sleep, I don't want to be your mate anymore.' But I was wrong! Oh- I'm gonna be a terrible father- I can't even take care of my own pelt!"

"Goosecall," She giggled, standing up and nuzzling his cheek. "It's okay. We can do this, okay?"

Goosecall nodded, and purred. He was gonna be a dad!

8/5/20 || horizonstar and bramblestorm || 305 words

writing wrote:Horizonstar padded outside of her den quietly, raising her head to the star spotted night sky. She sat down and curled her tail around her paws, the pale moonlight shining on her light fur. Suddenly, the leader was aware of a presence next to her. She turned her head to see her deputy, Bramblestorm, sitting down beside her. The brown tabby she-cat copied Horizonstar's position and gave her a nod.

"What brings you out here?" Horizonstar asked softly, returning her gaze to the sky.

"I should be asking you the same, really," Bramblestorm chuckled softly. "It's very late, Horizonstar."

"We've come so far, Bramblestorm," Horizonstar breathed out. "I came to this valley with only Zephyrrush and Honeysneeze alongside me. Zephyrrush followed me from the old clan, and we picked up Honeysneeze from the twoleg place as we passed through it. I truly never expected us to grow this much. Of course, we aren't as developed as Brindleclan by any means, but..."

"We've come farther than you expected." Bramblestorm finished for her.

"You really are my second half," Horizonstar chuckled, headbutting Bramblestorm affectionately. "I'm so glad you followed me here."

"It was a tough choice, but I realized that Starclan called to you, and I couldn't just leave my closest friend," Bramblestorm purred. "Besides, after you left, the clan was becoming even more and more corrupt."

"They always said we were meant to be littermates," Horizonstar said, smiling. "I'm so sorry I left without you."

"It wasn't your fault," Bramblestorm looked at her. "I was stubborn. I didn't want to leave my birth place. But... I know now that leaving was the best option. Look at us- look at Irisclan. Starclan wanted this for us."

"Yes, I suppose so," Horizonstar said gently. "Thank you, Bramblestorm."

"For what?"

"Being my friend."

"I'll always be your friend, Horizonstar."

8/29/20 || snowfinch, oceangaze of islandclan, bramblestorm, brindleleap, zephyrrush, windsnarl, peachpaw || 1252 words

writing wrote:Snowfinch had gone out alone that day to collect herbs. She left Copperpaw to sort herbs on his own as she trusted him with that job. As her trip went on, she began to feel a slight wave of worry wash over her. Was it really a smart idea to go out alone? After all, she was albino, leaving her with extremely poor eyesight. While the molly was still able to see somethings, it wasn't enough to protect her well if she was in danger. The fur along her spine began to bristle in fear as she could no longer scent the comforting scent of her clan.

"Oh dear," She muttered nervously under her breath.

The white she-cat began to anxiously whip her head around, hoping for something familiar to pop up. In her slight panic, she felt herself slam into something. The molly heard a soft grunt and she was overwhelmed by an unfamiliar scent. Snowfinch let out a yelp and began to back up in fear.

"Woah- are you okay?" Came a new voice.

"Please don't hurt me!" Snowfinch gasped, shaking.

"I'm not going to hurt you, I promise," The voice reassured her.

The medicine cat let her fur lay down a bit, but she was still on guard and still shaking. She pinpointed the shape of the stranger and looked directly at them, her round ears flattened against her head.

"Wh-Who are you?" Snowfinch asked, trying her best to keep her voice clear.

"I'm Oceangaze from Islandclan," He said, introducing himself.

"What are you doing here?" The molly asked cautiously.

"I feel like I should be asking you the same," Oceangaze chuckled. "Are you alright? You bumped into me quite hard."

"I-I'm fine, thank you for asking," She responded quickly, trying to smooth down her fur with a few short licks. "I really don't like repeating myself. What are you doing here?"

"Walking," Oceangaze answered with a slight shrug. "What about you? You look a little lost."

"I am a little lost if I'm being honest," Snowfinch said shyly.

"Well, before I offer any help, can I have your name?" The tom asked.

"Snowfinch," She answered gently.

"Are you a clan cat?"

"Yes, I'm the medicine cat of Irisclan."

"Huh, okay," Oceangaze flicked his tail tip. "Do you need help getting back to your border?"

"I-I wouldn't mind some help," Snowfinch said, shifting her paws.

"Well, let's get moving then!" Oceangaze said cheerfully.

The two turned around and began to follow Snowfinch's scent trail as they traveled back towards Irisclan. As they walked towards the medicine cat's territory, they chatted lightly, getting to know each other a bit. Snowfinch enjoyed Oceangaze's company, he was nice to be around. As they reached the border, Snowfinch began to feel hesitant to leave her new friend. She turned around and glanced at the warrior.

"Will I ever see you again?" She asked.

"I'm not quite sure," Oceangaze responded.

"Well, it was nice meeting you. Thank you for helping me back," The she-cat said, dipping her head. She tried her best to hide the slight sadness in her voice.

"You too, Snowfinch," Oceangaze said, dipping his head to her as well before turning around and walking away.

Snowfinch couldn't help but feel a little lonely as he padded the opposite direction. Any thoughts were quickly interrupted by a loud crashing and hissing coming from the bushes next to her. The white she-cat jumped back, startled. Out of the bushes tumbled two cats. It was Bramblestorm and an unknown rogue. They were rolling around, tussling angrily. The deputy threw off the intruder and jumped to her paws, shaking her coat.

"Whew- Oh! Snowfinch! Hello there! Where have you been all day?" The brown tabby asked. She spoke as if nothing had just happened and she hadn't just been wrestling with a rogue.

"Uh- I don't really think that's an issue right now, our new company looks a bit upset," Snowfinch said quickly.

"Bramblestorm- ack!" Brindleleap tripped out of the bushes after her, causing another crashing sound, making the medicine cat wince.

The rogue that Bramblestorm had just been fighting was sitting, hunched over, and growling while he licked his scratches and fur back in place. Zephyrrush pushed out of the bushes after Brindleleap, dragging a younger rogue by her scruff. Fortunately, he didn't fall.

"Don't you hurt her!" The older rogue snapped, jumping to his feet again.

"Relax, we won't. We have no intention to either," Zephyrrush said, releasing the younger cat's scruff. She scrambled to her paws and ran to hide behind the tom. "We just want to talk civilly, but you pounced at Bramblestorm."

"She gave me a threatening look!" The rogue tom hissed back, lashing his tail angrily.

"To be fair, you're on our territory and we have no clue who you are," Bramblestorm said, shrugging. "But really, no hard feelings."

Snowfinch padded to Brindleleap, who was now on his paws. She gave him a quick sniff, but relaxed when she saw there was no serious injury on him.

"Could you tell us your names?" Bramblestorm asked, flicking her ears impatiently. The deputy could keep a level head in any situation, but it was obvious that these two had been giving her patrol a bit of trouble if she was letting her irritation show through.

"Why should we?" The tom snarled, the fur along his spine beginning to bristle.

"Hey, hey, hey, look there is no hostile intent from us. The worst we could really do is just send you away with a few scratches," Zephyrrush said. "If you cooperate with us, we could help you. The she-cat, she looks hungry. I don't think either of you have had a proper meal in a long time."

The younger rogue dipped her head in embarrassment, and the tom flexed his claws in and out as though he were pondering what to do.

"Would you be able to give us food and shelter?" He asked cautiously, squinting skeptically at the patrol.

"Yes, but you would have to join and support our clan if you want long term food and shelter." Bramblestorm told him.

"Well what's so great about it?" The rogue challenged.

"It's an organized life, we care for each other, we learn and grow together. We're like one big family. We could use all the cats we could get, and you'll be treated like one of us. You'll have shelter, food, and friends. Maybe one day you may even have a family. We will protect you."

The black and white tom's gaze wandered around as he contemplated the deputy's offer. He looked at the younger rogue she-cat, and then back to the deputy.

"We'll join," He said with a firm nod. "My name is Wind, and this is my daughter, Peach."

"Follow us, we'll show you to our camp," Bramblestorm said, beckoning with her tail.

"Not to be uh- rude or anything, but how is she your daughter?" Brindleleap asked.

"Brindleleap! You don't ask other cats these things, that's quite disresp-" Zephyrrush's scolding was cut off by Wind waving his tail.

"I don't mind," The rogue said, shrugging. "I found Peach as a kit, she was abandoned by her mother and she was starving. I couldn't just let her stay alone."

"You have good morals it seems," Bramblestorm commented.

"I hope so," Wind sighed. "I just want the best for her, that's all."

Peach ducked her head shyly, pressing closer to Wind.

"Welcome to Irisclan," Bramblestorm said as they entered the camp.

9/29/20 || bramblestorm, brindleleap, zephyrrush, marigoldpetal || 439 words

writing wrote:"Bramblestorm my legs hurt, when are we going home?" Brindleleap whined.

"Well if you're going to act like a kit, we can send you back to the nursery and you can stay back in camp all you'd like," Zephyrrush growled, narrowing his eyes at the younger warrior.

"Oh go easy on him Zephyrrush," Bramblestorm sighed, touching her clanmate's shoulder with her tail tip. "We're almost done patrolling the area. We just have to mark the border here between us and Yangclan and then we can head home. I know you're eager to go share tongues with your friends."

"Wait- I smell someone coming," Brindleleap came to a halt and stood still.

"Now isn't the time for your games, Brindleleap!" Zephyrrush snapped.

"No no- Zephyrrush I-I think he's right," Bramblestorm squinted.

A young she-cat came closer, padding calmly towards the group of warriors. She looked around curiously, stopping occasionally to sniff her surroundings. Brindleleap's fur began to bristle and he let out a low growl, but was given a jab in the rips by Zephyrrush as a warning.

"Ooooooh! There's more cats heeeere!" The she-cat meowed in a soft tone.

She was obviously young, and very curious. She blinked her large yellow eyes at the group of cats and stepped closer, stretching her neck out to inspect them. She began to sniff Brindleleap, which earned her a swat on the nose from the brown tom. The stranger flinched and leaned away from him, rubbing her muzzle with her paw.

"Mmm that wasn't very nice," She sighed, frowning. Her voice was smooth and airy, almost like she was trying to sooth someone.
"I thought we were friends."

"I don't even know you!" Brindleleap spat. "Don't stick your nose in my face you freak!"

"Oooooh, sooooorry. Marigold forgot to introduce herself!" The molly blinked slowly. "Hellooo! I'm Marigold!"

Zephyrrush leaned towards Bramblestorm and put his mouth to her ear. "I think this young cat hit her head," He whispered to his deputy. "She's acting quite strangle."

"Oooh noo! Marigold is alright!" This startled Zephyrrush and Bramblestorm.

"Uh- Marigold, was it?"

"Yeeeeeeeees ma'am!"

"Marigold, where are you from?" Bramblestorm stepped toward the young cat.

"Unimportant as of todaaaaaay! Marigold was sent to you!" The pale she-cat exclaimed. "The sparkly cats in the sky! They said that Irisclan needed Marigold!"

"W-What?" Bramblestorm was caught by surprise. How did this stranger know their clan? Was she a spy? No, she was too... clumsy to be a spy. Was she really sent by Starclan though?

"Should we take her to Horizonstar?" Zephyrrush asked.

"Ooooh yes please do!" Marigold chirped happily.

"Well, I guess so." Bramblestorm shrugged.

9/29/20 || currentbreeze, willowpool || 705 words

writing wrote:Willowpool raced through the flower field, her legs pumping hard. She would not be caught! The calico pressed on faster, her paws beating hard on the grass. A triumphant cry came from behind her, and she realized her chaser was getting closer. The molly pushed herself faster, and she heard a thump hit the ground.

She skid to a halt and turned around, panting. I heard her fall? Where is she? Did she get h-

Willowpool's thoughts were interrupted as someone barreled into her, causing both of them to crash to the ground. WIllowpool let out a yowl of suprise.

"I win!" Currentbreeze purred, pinning Willowpool down underneath her.

"Oh you snake! I thought you were hurt!" Willowpool swatted at Currentbreeze's face playfully.

"That was all apart of my plan," The blue molly chuckled, releasing Willowpool's shoulders.

"Oh shut up, you didn't even have a plan," Willowpool teased as Currentbreeze flopped onto the grass beside her.

"I did!" The older molly shot back.

"What mousebrain has an elaborate plan for a game of tag?" The calico purred, inching closer to Currentbreeze.

"Me," Currentbreeze claimed, nuzzling Willowpool's cheek.

"Hey, can I ask you something?" Willowpool blurted out suddenly.

"Yeah of course, what is it?"

"Do you ever want to have a family?"

"Well... what do you mean?" Currentbreeze looked at the molly.

"Like... do you want kits? Do you want a mate?"

"Hm... I... I guess I never really thought about it," The blue haired molly said, sitting him in the grass. "It would be nice, sure. But... I don't really know if I've found the right person yet, you know?"

"Yeah... I get that," Willowpool responded, still stretched out next to Currentbreeze.

"I mean... sure... there's been cats I've thought about having families with but... well..."

"Well what?" WIllowpool sat up next to her.

"I guess I never really could see myself having a future with them," Currentbreeze shrugged. "It's just... a passing thought."

"Is there anyone that you want to have a family with that the feeling didn't go away?"

"Oh, most definitely," Currentbreeze sighed. "But I- Two she-cats can't really have kits. But that isn't my main concern. I just- I don't know if she feels the same way about me."

"What?" Willowpool jumped to her paws. "Are you kidding me? How could she not like you back! You're like- the coolest ever- and you're super pretty too, and you're-you're nice too! Also you're funny, and you're amazing company. You're such a great hunter too and- Currentbreeze you're just amazing! I really don't know how anyone couldn't love you and everything about you."

"You talk like you're in love with me," Currentbreeze teased.

Willowpool's pelt heated up and she turned her head away, her tail tip twitching. There was a moment of silence between the two she-cats. Willowpool suddenly became aware of how loud everything around her was. The birds, the bugs, the frogs, the wind.

"Willowpool?"

The calico molly turned her head back towards Currentbreeze and they locked eyes. She couldn't understand what Currentbreeze was feeling. Her gaze was unreadable. This made her stomach twist into a knot.

"I love you, Currentbreeze."

Currentbreeze sat there, not breaking eye contact with Willowpool. She rose to her paws slowly, not making a sound or saying a word. Willowpool's heart dropped. She had just ruined their friendship, hadn't she? She had just scared her best friend away. Willowpool's heart began to race and she opened her mouth to take back her statement but Currentbreeze raised a paw and silenced her.

"I love you too, Willowpool. I always have."

Willowpool's mouth hung wide open. She had no words. She was in shock. The molly was feeling every single emotion at once, and she had no idea what to do with herself.

"I-I-I-I-"

"Come here you big idiot," The blue eyed she-cat purred.

Willowpool rushed towards her best friend- no- mate- and pressed her face into her neck. Currentbreeze gave her a few loving licks on the top of her head and the calico molly could hear her purring with delight.

"Let's get back to camp," Currentbreeze said after a long moment.

Willowpool nodded, and the two headed back, brushing up against each other the whole way.

10/19/20 || Breezepaw, Ashstream, Peachpaw, Honeypaw, Zephyrrush, Honeysneeze, Horizonstar || 1,832 words

writing wrote:"Come on! Quit dragging your paws!" Ashpaw snapped to her sister.

"I'm sorry I can't catch up to you and your mate!" Breezepaw hissed back.

"Peachpaw is not my mate." Ashpaw retorted, puffing out her chest in annoyance.

"Come on, let's just leave her behind, she'll catch up to us later," Peachpaw said in her usual flat, bleak voice. "No sense in playing with dead prey."

"Yeah, you're right," Ashpaw huffed.

The two she-cats trotted further towards the lake, ignoring Breezepaw's frustrated calls. The pair reached the pool of water, and Peachpaw sat down, grooming herself quietly, while Ashpaw padded over to a small wall of shrubbery.

"Great Starclan," Ashpaw breathed out.

"What?" Peachpaw asked, popping her head up.

"Death berries..." The grey tabby answered.

The area went silent, no one spoke. Tension grew between the two she-cats. But... what kind of tension? Ashpaw couldn't quite put a claw on it. Was it anxiety? Was it excitement? Something else? She couldn't tell. But it sent a nervous shiver up her spine. The haunting silence was interrupted by Breezepaw's angry shouts.

"You mousebrains!" She snapped, slowing down and panting as she came upon the two other she-cats. "You seriously went ahead of me because you got annoyed? What a low blow! Surely you didn't start hunting without me!"

"We didn't," Peachpaw responded bluntly, her ocean blue eyes looking right through Breezepaw. "Don't worry."

"Good! Ashpaw, why in Starclan's name are you just standing by a bush?" Breezepaw rolled her eyes. "You're going to be one useless warrior, that's for sure."

Ashpaw said nothing, but Breezepaw's words stung like a harsh lick on an open wound. The black molly stalked off in the other direction. Peachpaw rose to her feet and shook her pelt.

"I'll start hunting," She said gently.

Ashpaw nodded, a knot forming in her stomach.

Peachpaw came back shortly, dropping a squirrel near a rock. Ashpaw was unsuccessful in hunting. The cream molly's catch made Ashpaw feel embarrassed. Peachpaw could sense the other apprentice felt quite down about not being able to catch anything.

"Hey, don't worry," She cooed. "You'll have better luck next time."

Peachpaw padded back over to the place where Ashpaw had discovered the death berries, and sniffed. The silver tabby cocked her head curiously as she watched her clanmate.

"What... are you doing?" Ashpaw asked softly.

Without a word, Peachpaw began to tug on a branch, shaking the bush. A few death berries fell at her paws, and she let go of the branch, looking down. Ashpaw said nothing, only watching her fellow apprentice. Fear began to swell up in her stomach. Was Peachpaw going to eat a death berry?

Ashpaw's assumptions were wrong, but now she began to grow even more fearful. Peachpaw picked up the squirrel that she had caught and brought it over to the bush. With a careful claw, she sliced open the belly, and shoveled a good pawful of death berries inside the prey.

"Peachpaw," Ashpaw's voice was low, taut with fear. "What are you doing?"

"Don't worry about it," Peachpaw said gently, her voice soothing, but Ashpaw didn't know if she could trust that tone. "Everything will be okay."

She pulled the piece of prey back to the rock and sat down, wrapping her tails around her paws. Breezepaw came padding back with a bird in her maw. The black molly dropped her prey and spat feathers out, shaking her pelt.

"Eugh- I hate feathers!" She turned her gaze towards Ashpaw and Peachpaw. "Ashpaw you look like you've seen a ghost- what in Starclan's name is wrong with you?"

"I-" Before she could speak, Peachpaw looked at her with a blank face, but she knew that those eyes were telling her to keep her mouth shut.

"I don't feel good."

"Why don't we share this squirrel I caught?" Peachpaw offered.

"No way, are you kidding me? That's against the warrior code!" Breezepaw spat.

"It's only against the warrior code if we're on a hunting patrol," Ashpaw said, her voice hollow.

"Yeah yeah, fine, whatever. Ashpaw, you can have it."

"No no, we should share," Peachpaw insisted. "You should have the first bite, it's to make up for leaving you behind earlier."

"Hmph, rightfully so," Breezepaw huffed. She crept towards the prey, sniffing it. She narrowed her eyes, realizing something was off. THe prey smelled.... wrong. "What did you do to it?"

"Eat it." Peachpaw said calmly.

"No."

"Eat it."

Breezepaw nudged the squirrel with one claw, and death berries came spilling out. Breezepaw jumped back, gasping. She looked at her sister and Peachpaw with a face full of shock, her amber eyes glazed with fear.

"Y-You're trying to-to kill me?" She gasped.

"Breezepaw, listen to me, and listen to me good, because I don't like repeating myself. You're going to sit there and lick up every one of those death berries, or I'll shove them down your throat," Peachpaw informed her gently, her face cold and grim, not at all matching her tone. "Is that understood?"

"Wh-What- Ashpaw- Ashpaw please- Why are you letting her get away with this?"

The grey tabby turned her head away, refusing to look at Breezepaw. Guilt swelled in her stomach and chest, but some part of her just... didn't want to stop Pechpaw.

"Ashpaw please," Breezepaw began to sob. "Just tell me why you're letting her kill me, please."

"Ever since we were little... you-you've pushed me around. You've always acted like you were better than me. You're the favorite. You-You're prettier than me, everyone likes you better, even Mom and Dad... I'm... I don't want to stop her..."

"Ashpaw, I'm so sorry-"

"Eat them." Peachpaw hissed.

Breezepaw complied, bending down and lapping up the deadly berries with a shaky whimper. Ashpaw turned her head back towards her, staring in awe. Peachpaw's face was blank and emotionless.

Breezepaw collapsed instantly, convulsing. Ashpaw rose to her paws, feeling as though ants were crawling under her pelt, but Peachpaw raised a paw to hold her back. The black molly gasped and clawed at the air, shaking violently. Ashpaw felt like she was going to be sick. How could Peachpaw sit her and watch her sister die without feeling anything? How could Peachpaw... kill her sister? The silver molly squeezed her eyes shut as Breezepaw began to vomit, not wanting to watch anymore.

Finally, Ashpaw couldn't hear Breezepaw's struggled breaths anymore. She slowly peeled open her eyes and saw her littermate lying still, a dark pool of blood had formed around her head. Ashpaw let out a gasp, and began to breathe heavily. With each ragged breath, she felt her vision going blurrier and darkier.

"Ashpaw,"

Ashpaw whipped her head around to Peachpaw. The cream tabby came over and wrapped her body around the older apprentice, licking her fur gently.

"It's okay, she needed to go," Peachpaw whispered gently. Her voice was sweet and smooth like honey, and Ashpaw couldn't help but feel oddly relaxed, despite the dead body right in front of them. "We'll take her back to camp and say she ate death berries. It isn't a lie."

"You're right," The silver molly whispered. "She needed to go."

The two apprentices dragged her back to camp after throwing the prey in the lake. Ashpaw felt like she was watching the world go by as a ghost. She didn't feel real, none of this felt real.

Goosecall, Horizonstar, Bramblestorm, and Zephyrrush were speaking in the middle of camp. They all turned their heads towards Peachpaw and Ashpaw when they returned to camp.

"Oh thank Starclan you're safe- where did you run off to?" Goosecall snapped anxiously. "You guys can't go hunting alone without our permission, okay next time a- what happened to Breezepaw?"

The group ran over to the black and white apprentice. Cats began to creep out of their dens curiously, but Horizonstar sent them away, worried about Goosecall's apprentice.

"She's-" Zephyrrush backed up.

"What's going on? Are my daughters home?" Honeysneeze pushed out of the warriors den and joined the group.

A horrified ear piercing scream broke the eerie silence of the camp.

Honeysneeze roughly pushed the group away from her daughter. She pulled her away from Ashpaw and Peachpaw, and curled around her, shaking.

"Breezepaw- Breezepaw baby girl wake up," She said, her voice shaking. "Come on, sweet girl. This is no time to play games!"

"Honeysneeze, she's d-"

"No!" Honeysneeze snapped at her mate. "She's not dead. She isn't dead. Come feel her, she's still warm. No no no, she's not-she's not dead."

Zephyrrush felt his heart shatter as he watched his mate cradle his dead daughter, speaking to her as if she was going to spring up any moment and pretend it was a trick.

"Come on now, Mama doesn't have all day to play games, you're going to be a warrior soon! We-We shouldn't play games," Honeysneeze held back a sob. She was rocking softly, licking Breezepaw's forehead. "Open your eyes dear!"

"You," Zephyrrush turned his gaze towards Ashpaw. His olive green eyes blazed with fury and hurt. "How did she die?"

"She-" Peachpaw began to speak, but Zephyrrush glared at her.

"I didn't ask you, I asked Ashpaw," Zephyrrush turned his attention back towards his daughter. "How did she die?"

"She ate death berries," Ashpaw whispered.

"Now why in Starclan's name would my daughter eat death berries?" Zephyrrush roared in anger.

"We were messing around! She-She ate them as a joke- She didn't think it would cause serious harm!" Peachpaw shot in quickly.

"And you didn't STOP HER?" Zephyrrush snarled. "Did your brain die along with my daughter? Why didn't you stop her?! What's wrong with you two?!"

"Zephyrrush!" Horizonstar narrowed her eyes at the silver tabby. "You forget that they are not yet warriors. They are young. Yes, Breezepaw's death was a tragedy, but there is no one to blame here."

"Oh yes there is!" Zephyrrush howled. "My useless daughter couldn't even stop her littermate from killing herself! How can I expect her to become a warrior?"

"Zephyrrush, that's enough. You will not call your child useless. Not in this clan. Everyone here in Irisclan plays an important role. This was a freak accident," Horizonstar drew herself closer to Zephyrrush, and her voice grew softer. "I know you're hurting. She was in your first litter. But you cannot blame Ashpaw and Peachpaw."

"Ashpaw is no daughter of mine," Zephyrrush hissed.

Peachpaw ran her tail tip down Ashpaw's spine in an attempt to comfort her, but Ashpaw's world had broken. She felt like she was drowning. She watched as her mother sobbed and clung to her sister's body. Her brother had now come out of the apprentice's den and was trying to calm down their father, but Ashpaw could see him holding back a wail. Goosecall, Breezepaw's mentor, was sat on the edge of camp, his head hung low.

"Come on, let's get some fresh-kill," Peachpaw said, guiding Ashpaw to the fresh-kill pile.

"Peachpaw... what did we do?" Ashpaw whispered.
