Murderers in Riverclan V.2 [Roster Update 10/30]

[☆ѕтαяяу ѕкιєѕ☆]

Rosetail reluctantly starts examining her Clanmates. The last thing she wants to do is to accuse any of them of murder, but the proof is in front of her. "I don't think it was Pebblefang," she finally says as her gaze rests on a cat who she wonders could possibly kill a Clanmate. "Icebrook, you've been rather quiet since agreeing with exile." She leaves the sentence open for a response.

Frondpaw shook his head, still trying to keep himself from dryheaving. "Hunt? I don't think I'll ever be able to hunt again, knowing this id what it looks like to them!" The grey tom's eyes widened as Stonefur attempted to soothe him. "Air? Air is good. Yes to air." He muttered under his breath. As his clanmates began to accuse each other, he turned to pad away. "I can't believe that one of our own is treating us as prey, much less that you are blaming each other! Ya'll are stupid!"

Pebblefang sighed. Could she really blame Aspenfur? If she had to leave, perhaps Thunderclan would be kind enough to take her in. "Let's look at this logically," she said, trying to ignore her shame. "Orangepelt was mauled. Who is strong enough to do that?" She went closer to the body despite her unwillingness. If it would help bring the killer to justice, she would do what she must. "He was ambushed but he fought. See?" Subtle marks showed the signs of a struggle.

To Frondpaw, she said, "Hunting is very different. Hunting is quick and clean, and the food provides our life. This is senseless murder. Who would dare desecrate a clanmate's body like this?" She now seethed with rage, and was filled with a motherly concern to protect Frondpaw and Moonpaw.

"Well, obviously it was hunting to them! They ate him!" Frondpaw lashed his tail, gesuring to the fang marks crossing Orangepelt's body. "And I've never heard of a cat eating another cat! It had to have been a dog- or.. or badger or pike!" His mind grabbed for any large animals he could think of. "They must be getting smarter and learning to disguise their scent!" Something inside Frondpaw was refusing to believe that someone he trusted could do this.

Aspenfur had come back now, bringing rosemary with him. He stood next to the body, and listened to Pebblefang's words. "Parts of him were eaten-" he almost tagged and dropped the rosemary at his feet.

The tom's blue eyes showed a hurt expression, and a frown began to form on his face. "I'm silent because I am still grieving for a lost Clan-mate." Didn't they know it was just his nature to be quiet? He couldn't believe they would distrust him like this.

[Simonpet]

Pebblefang couldn't really argue with Frondpaw's logic. The killer was a hunter of the worst sort--the hunter of their clanmates. "It was one of our own," she said quietly. Almost gently, despite her inner pain. "If dogs or badgers really killed Orangepelt, it would have been out on a patrol. Why kill him and leave us unharmed?" To Aspenfur, she asked, "Is his spirit in Starclan? Can it go to Starclan?"

"Orangepelt is in Starclan. He was a good cat." He dropped his gaze. "He didn't deserve this. No one deserves this."

Rosetail sighs. "You're right; I'm sorry Icebrook," she murmurs.

A part of her can't help but wonder if the hurt was feigned.

Even as she ambled towards the river, Stonefur could still hear the scared chatterings of her fellow clanmates. Turning to Frondpaw, she sighed once again. She seemed to be sighing a lot nowadays. "To be fair..." She started. "They are afraid, cats do wack things when afraid, or mad." Stonefur murmured. "And its important that we remove the killer as soon as possible!" Stonefur informed.

"Who do you think it is?"
