Murderers in Riverclan V.1

[Arid Wyvern]

(That exile is great! It totally fits Nettlesplash)

[Rose Water]

[ah! I didn't really think it was Nettlesplash, but the vote was out numbered. She was too loving, you know.]

[Arid Wyvern]

(Bump!

[irae]

whiteleaf slept, her body curled tightly around shrewkit's.
after the last few horrid days, she didn't want to let poor
shrewkit die as well.

a figure blocked the faint moonlight that filtered through
the opening and whiteleaf looked up. the cat had a since
re expression, and so whiteleaf nodded for them to appro
ach.

"how are you doing?" the cat asked quietly. shrewkit stirre
d, but didn't wake up.

whiteleaf sighed. "i don't know... i feel as if there's danger
at every turn, and i have to protect shrewkit and my own k
its when they arrive. i can't sleep."

the visitor nodded empathetically. "well, i brought some pop
py seeds for you to help," they whispered, setting down the
seeds.

the white queen nodded, smiling weakly at the visitor. she s
wallowed the seeds and laid back down to rest.

"sweet dreams," the visitor said softly, then exited the nurse
ry.

whiteleaf finally managed to sleep for a while, she didn't kno
w how long. she was woken up by a sharp pain in her belly, t
hat spread to her chest.

as much as she wanted it to be true, she could sense that this
was not the beginning of kitting, as her kits were at least a m
oon from being due.

then it hit her. "those weren't poppy seeds..." she breathed alo
ud. whiteleaf looked back on the murders. they'd all been kill
ed using foxglove.

"so that means-" whiteleaf's revelation was cut off by immense
pain. she writhed on the floor of the nursery, desperately tryin
g to get away from shrewkit.

"whiteleaf?" shrewkit's small voice piped up worriedly, looking
at whiteleaf.

the queen looked back at shrewkit, tears filling your eyes. "i'll
be leaving... starclan wants me to go. i can't take care of you
any longer, i'm sorry..." whiteleaf choked out between sobs.

shrewkit bounded over to whiteleaf. "please don't leave!" he cr
ied, nuzzling into her fur as she lay panting, barely conscious.

whiteleaf pressed her muzzle into his fur, wetting it in the proc
ess with still-fresh tears.

"i'm sorry, i can't protect you any longer..." whiteleaf murmured,
rapidly drifting out of consciousness. shrewkit's shrieking was be
coming more blurry and unintelligible as time progressed. the l
ast desperate words she heard, however, were clear as day.

"whiteleaf! don't go!"

the guard and the last queen was killed, riverclan! shrewkit
and the rest of your clan is and are alone.

I apologize, I've been quite busy over the last few days and have not been able to post the kill.

(Nuuuuuu... Poor Whiteleaf and Shrewkit, murderer PM me?)

[Rose Water]

Shrewkit let out a cry of sadness and desperation, hoping someone, anyone, would hear him. He just wanted the comfort of his parents! And what kind of sick joke was the murderer playing at, killing the last person close to him? He let to another wail, still waiting for a cat to come help.

{still voting for Dappleheart, sorry if I'm incorrect ;v;]

[faerie;]

Cloudesight's mind was combing through nightmare after nightmare. A single cry awoke the tom. Oh, Starclan. Shrewkit.. Don't let me walk in on murder, or a dead kit. He worried, shakily standing to follow the sound of the mewling kit.

"..Shrewkit?" He called out from the outside of the nursery before finally parting the moss that hung as a curtain, making a doorway. He walked through, pausing as the moss fell against his tail. His eyes narrowed, trying to make out the situation. Was Whiteleaf sleeping? No, why would her kit be meowing like that if she were asleep? He hurried over, trying his best to see as he blinked constantly, attempting to clear his sight.

"Oh, StarClan.. h-how do I tell them about the death without being suspicious?" He questioned the air before turning away from the kit and their soulless mother. He padded to the entrance and parted the moss again, trying to signal a cat over - any cat for that matter, any cat that could help. There was no way that the near-blind tom could help, not in his current state.

[Fading Dreams]

Nightpelt yawned as she stretched. The past few days had been hectic and instead of being an apprentice, she was now the medicine cat. Stepping outside of the medicine cat den she heard a cry coming from the nursery. "Whats- oh starclan..." She said as she saw Whiteleaf's body. "Shh shh it's alright Shrewkit... Cloudedsight are you alright?" She said, trying to comfort the kit and make sure the elder was fine and safe, unhurt at the same time. She watched as the elder parted the moss close to the entrance as she made her way over to the kit.
