*~ Risingclan ~* Open and Accepting

[storm coming.]

(Anyone open for my cats? ^^)

Beartalon gasped, but not because Raptorfang killed Dogkit. Stallioncry's condition was worsening. "Is there anything I can do to help him?" The large warrior frantically asked the medicine cat.

Waspfur is working on him, not the medicine cat)

Waspfur nodded. "I need you to keep him calm. I can't work on him if he's breathing that hard. Just keep him calm," he grumbled, paws working as he began to put poultice on all of the wounds.

"Dogkit... she said that... that... it isn't my time... to... die..." Stallioncry choked out. He shivered, the amount of blood he'd lost made him cold and extraordinarily tired. "Raptorfang... you have to stop Raptorfang."

Flightpaw managed to stretch over the warrior's back without putting any weight on him, her long fur was a great insulator and would keep him nice and warm.

"He's right," Darkpaw meowed. "Raptorfang is very dangerous. She killed her own sister when she was just a kit, and now she's made an attempt on Stallioncry's life. StarClan knows how many other cats she's hurt," he meowed. "After all, we haven't had any loners, kittypets or rogues until now."

Flightpaw nodded inn agreement. "Maybe she killed all of the trespassers. That's probably how she got so strong." Fear boiled in her stomach.

Beartalon nodded, looking again at Stallioncry. Leaning to the slightly smaller tom's ear, he murmured, "I can't leave you. I love you," and pulled back, terror visible on his face though he was comforted by the warrior's words. He knew it probably wasn't the best time to say it, but he couldn't wait anymore.

[~Totally Insane~]

A smile appeared on Stallioncry's face as he heard Beartalon's words. Weekly, he placed a bloodied paw on Beartalon's own paw. His snaky tail twined itself with the deputy's.

Beartalon nuzzled Stallioncry's paw, a weight being lived off his shoulders.

She looked at them, "I can't find the two cats you requested for."


(Sorry that I haven't been on…)

Redstar looked at everyone and retreated into his den slowly. The last time he saw a family member attack their littermate was when Firepelt killed his own brother Flamestep. Flamestep was Redstar's father. When he was only an apprentice, Redstar had killed Firepelt before he could kill his remaining son Waspfur. Waspfur was his only living kin; he was the son of Firepelt. He remembered the moments with cold dread. Those days haunted him. He laid down in his nest and rested his head on his paws, staring out into space. Before he could help it, he drifted away.

"Redpaw!" He blinked open his eyes and jerked his head up. He was in the apprentices den. The voice that called the name was terribly familiar. He exited the den and blinked his eyes against the bright light. He looked at the owner of the voice. It was his father, Flamestep. He stared at the handsome tom in pain. He had a bright red-orange tabby coat and amber eyes. He looked just as Redstar remembered him. Then a silver she-cat came padding up. Mother... he thought. "Redpaw," she meowed, her voice soft as silk, "It's time for Wasppaw's and everyone's warrior ceremony." He remembered this moment. "And afterward, your father and I are going hunting if you would like to join us." Redstar stiffened. Last time, he had said no. "Sure," he meowed, trying to sound happy. Maybe he could prevent his parents' deaths.

"Wasppaw, from this day forward, you will be known as Waspfur. Starclan honors your determination and loyalty." Redstar ran up to Waspfur. "Waspfur! You must come with us!" he meowed frantically. The newly made warrior shook his head. "You know I can't, Redpaw! I have to keep my vigil!" The tom smiled at Redstar. He panicked. "Please!" "No, Redpaw! And that's my final answer!"

Redstar followed his parents through the forest slowly. "Mother, Father, I need to warn you about Firepelt." Clearpool looked back. "Why, sweetheart? Firepelt is a great tom, very respected. There's nothing to be warned about." Redstar growled in frustration. "He's a murderer!" Flamestep narrowed his eyes at his son. "Redpaw, I expected better of you. You should know better than to make false accusations about your clanmates. Firepelt is my brother, and I know him better than anyone. Now hush!" Redstar growled, but stayed silent. There was a rustle in the bushes to their left, and Clearpool crouched down and stalked it. Redstar tasted the air. Firepelt! "Mother! No!" He yowled, but it was too late. Firepelt bowled over Clearpool and bit down on her neck quickly, instantly killing her. Flamestep stared in horror then growled. "Firepelt! How could you?" But the warrior didn't answer. He only tackled his brother to the ground, wrestling with him furiously. Redstar reached his mother's side. "Mother, no," he whimpered. If only they had listened to him, she would still be alive. He looked back at the brothers. "Redpaw! Run! Run now!" Redstar cast one more glance back at his father, just in time to see Firepelt kill him, and ran. He ran as fast as he could, but he stumbled on a large root. He landed in the dirt with a grunt and scrambled to his feet. He looked behind him - big mistake. Firepelt was leaping at him. His jaws gaped open into a snarl. His muzzle was dripping in blood. His paws were red with his brother's blood. His sharp claws were extended toward Redstar as he soared through the air. "No!" Redstar shrieked as he felt claws pierce his chest, then everything went black.

Redstar woke up gasping and panting. His fur was matted with sweat and his nest was scattered around the entire den. His heart was beating so loudly, he was sure that the others could hear it. He sat up from his nest and began grooming his fur, trying to calm himself down. "It was only a dream," he murmured, but it didn't help at all. The dream was all too real. The cries of his mother and father, the snarls of Firepelt. He could even feel the pain of where Firepelt had pierced him. Then he froze and looked down. Blood was soaking his soft belly fur. It was real! Firepelt had really gotten me! He thought with panic rising in his chest. The clan was not safe. Not one bit.

(YOWSA!)

Fiercesand

She heard noise and ran inside the den Redstar was in. Blood, she thought silently when she saw him.
Fiercesand ran over to Redstar and knelt besides him, "Are you okay?"
She looked around the den and then back at Redstar, "I'll bring you some help. Stay still, okay?"
