Roll says... 6: Recruit help.

Well, no two ways about it. You can't go in on this alone. If you get caught or...killed, someone else needs to be able to find the truth in your stead. You mull over a possible list of cats to help you.

One thing that you're almost completely certain about is that none of the apprentices will be involved in the conspiracy. Rowanpaw has too much of a stick shoved up his...well, he's too loyal to the Clan to betray it like that, even if he is rather moralistic. Fogpaw would be too obvious about it - he's always freely admitted when he's in trouble or if he did something wrong. Knotpaw, you can't even imagine doing such a thing, and she's also way too mousey to outright murder apprentices. You may not like Cinderpaw, but you doubt that she'd be conniving enough or smart enough for this.

Your wariness towards the adults, however, has been slowly growing into paranoia. Any time you think of a warrior you can trust, the immediate counterpoint is that adults are very, very good at lying, and you've already caught two cats you couldn't even imagine being involved in something like this, so who's to say that even Applefoot couldn't be involved?

You shuffle in the medicine den's nest, sighing to yourself. An apprentice, then. As an experiment. You'll have to decide on who tomorrow. Right now, you need all the rest you can get.

Your dreams are fleeting and numerous that night. Bared teeth, claw marks in the water, and the plaguing smell of lavender are a reoccurring theme. You have a terrifying moment where you're watching yourself drown, but your eyes snap open before it can go any further.

Applefoot gets called away on a patrol, so you eat breakfast and head out, leg feeling much better. You shoot a look at Divercloud in case he decides to tell someone, but he just looks away as you leave the den.

You're ambling around outside of camp when you hear two cats heading your way. You can smell Knotpaw and Cinderpaw, and grit your teeth, hoping that Knotpaw will be a little bold today.

Best to make sure things go smoothly. You step out into the path, pretending to have just wandered here on accident.

Knotpaw seems surprised, but greets you. "How's your leg?"

"It's better," you say, glancing down at the limb in question. "I just need to go easy on it, is all."

"That's good." She smiles, looking a little nervous. "I heard it was quite a, um..."

She glances at Cinderpaw, whose eyes are narrowed, and adds quickly, "That is, we were just planning to get some hunting in. Do you want to come with us?"

"Sure!" you reply brightly, before Cinderpaw can protest. "I'd love to. I might not be able to hunt very well, though."

And so you head out, pretending not to keep a very careful eye on them as you walk next to Knotpaw. You end up near the middle river, and you take a second to try stretching your leg a little as you sit in the sun.

"I might as well do a little fishing," Knotpaw says. "I mean, it-"

"You're always doing a little fishing," says Cinderpaw. "Every single time you go hunting it's fishing."

"Well, yeah," says Knotpaw, looking surprised. "It's...I'm good at it, is all."

"Maybe that's why you're so slacking in other areas," the brutish molly replies, almost stern. "Go hunt some mice or something."

Knotpaw looks like she's about to back down, but she glances quickly at you, and then finds her voice just as Cinderpaw turns for the water. "Are you really one to talk to me about slacking?"

Cinderpaw looks back at her, with an unfriendly look in her eyes. "Excuse me?"

"You're always so busy bullying elders that you can barely catch a naked bird," Knotpaw continues. Now that she's picking up speed, it's getting easier for her to talk, and her voice grows louder. "The one thing you're good at, you use to beat up anyone who disagrees with you. Instead of, I don't know, putting it to good for the Clan?"

Cinderpaw growls, and starts for her, and you jump up to get between them, but Knotpaw doesn't back down. There's a very steely look in her eyes that you've never seen before. Even as Cinderpaw looms over her, there's not so much as a flinch. You almost think you're looking at a different cat.

"What I do isn't your business," hisses Cinderpaw, but she doesn't do much more than bristle.

"So why do you always get into mine?" retorts Knotpaw. Her voice is astonishingly steady. "I can do what I like, and I shouldn't have to keep cowering when you puff up and growl the second you don't get your way."

You have a strong feeling that Knotpaw is close to being hit, but you're not sure what to do.

Get between them.
Call off Knotpaw.
Call off Cinderpaw.
Sit back and watch.
