[ lmao, you're so cruel! ]
𝐋𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐏𝐀𝐖 : spiritkit
"h-h...h-he's dead." the word fell heavily from the battered apprentices tongue. "venombite attacked him...without warning." in the center of the clearing, leopardpaw became aware of jaykit approaching. "i killed her...but not...in time." ashamed of the death of her beloved spiritkit, leopardpaw's gaze hooked onto her paws. "i'm sorry." she whispered weakly.

(i keep seeing boneface and im like whAT IS HE DOING)

creekwhistle//leopardpaw, jaykit
the molly felt herself shake as her remaining kit padded to her side. "where's-"
"with the spirits," creekwhistle said bluntly, blinking away tears. she lowered her head, tail flicking around her brother as she flicked her ears. "he was sickly, he was heading there anyway," she whispered softly, licking her son's head. she looked up, seeing floatstar approach.
"spiritkit's dead, so is venombite."

[rey skywalker]

[ omg. poor floatstar. he must be so confused. ]
𝐋𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐏𝐀𝐖 : spiritkit
leopardpaw's tears continued to stream down her face. venombite's blood stuck to her fur. "i tried." she said hoarsly to her leader, "venombite attacked spiritkit and killed him. i retaliated but she encouraged it...i think she wanted to go." the apprentice said, trembling. "we have to sit vigil." incapable of looking at jaykit, leopardpaw kept her gaze fixed on her paws.

𝐁𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐄 the pale bodied tom slithered from the warrior den. "what's going on?" he asked a passing molly.

loudbreeze//boneface
"creekwhistle's son is missing," she meowed quietly, looking out into the clearing.

floatstar//cats
"no, we need strong cats and family to take them to the fate ocean, where we let dead ones swim to the stars above." he looked at leopardpaw, sighing. he then turned to skybird. "go fetch a patrol."

[rey skywalker]

𝐋𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐏𝐀𝐖 : spiritkit
anger surged throughout the molly's body. "no!" she shouted loudly, the tear drops falling from her fur. "venombite got what was coming to her. she can rot!" now, the apprentice's body trembled from anger, not shame. "i'm so sorry jaykit!"

𝐁𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐄 boneface frowned at the revelation. "what is floatstar to do?" he asked loudbreeze, feeling for the queen who had lost her kit.

[our promise.]

floatstar//leopardpaw
"stop," floatstar snarled at the apprentice. "you're even lucky you're getting away with killing a warrior, even if she did kill a kit first. it's order and my tongue is law that all of them must go to the fate ocean, or their families will never be able to talk with them again. now do get the patrol.

loudbreeze//boneface
"he's yelling at venombite's apprentice at the moment, as you can probably hear. fate ocean was mentioned, so we need to prepare i'm guessing."

[rey skywalker]

𝐋𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐏𝐀𝐖 : anyone
leopardpaw felt the resistance yanking at her tongue. she wanted to say a lot. none of it was appropriate. falling silent, bitterly, the apprentice avoided jaykit's gaze.

𝐁𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐄 : fawnpaw
boneface sighed. "alright. i'm taking my apprentice. "fawnpaw!" he called out solemly, approaching the entrance where other warriors began to gather. "we're going to fetch spiritkit and venombite's body." he informed the pale bodied molly.

[our promise.]

fawnpaw//lightningpaw + boneface

the molly frowned, padding out slowly. "i feel so sorry for her, lightningpaw! join me, will you?"

loudbreeze//leopardpaw

"leopardpaw, take a walk with me, I need to tell you a few things," she meowed quietly, light tail brushing against her flank.

[rey skywalker]

𝐋𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐏𝐀𝐖 : loudbreeze
leopardpaw accepted loudbreeze without resistance. "ok," she said, tail drooping and head hanging lowly. as the cats filed out of the clan, she felt a pang of regret stab at her heart. "what?" she snapped softly, having no energy to argue.

𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐏𝐀𝐖 : fawnpaw
the handsome tom joined without question. falling in step beside fawnpaw, lightningpaw gently brushed his tail against her flank. "why did you want me to come along?" he asked curiously, padding behind the other warriors.

[our promise.]

loudbreeze//leopardpaw
loudbreeze gave a low purr in sympathy as she watched the patrol pad out of camp, creekwhistle following eagerly. she looked down at leopardpaw. "she killed my kits too, that one," loudbreeze sighed, closing her eyes. "the fate ocean will bring spiritkit happiness, and will put venombite in her place. do not worry too much about the kit, he's in great paws, with his long family."

fawnpaw//lightningpaw
giving a purr to his tail, the molly gave a confident march. "because," she whispered in a low voice, "i will chase the storm." turning her nose up she looked at the sad clouds
