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

[tauriel.]

Mosspaw sat outside the apprentices den, watching the rest of her clanmates quietly. It was strange with so many cats gone. Glancing around the camp, the molly saw Lilyheart and Bloomheart padding towards the medicine den, their faces tense with worry. Fur pricking with concern, she followed them into the den, just in time to hear Lilyheart's question. "She's not in her den?" Mosspaw asked, worry flashing in her eyes.

(Bloomheart?)

[honey it's hunkules]

SOFTPAW
The Tom stretched in his nest, hearing Mosspaw. "Hmm?" he questioned, shaking his pelt. "What's going on?" he slept rather peacefully, with the hope of the murderer finally gone. When he stepped out of the den, his breathe caught in his throat. The camp was just so empty. It'll never be the same without everyone, he thought, blinking at the sun. "Is everything okay?"

It had been roughly four moons since the first murder had
happened and all the cats of Riverclan had never felt safe
since. The exiles occasionally helped but for every cat
that they exiled, another always died. They just couldn't
seem to get it right. Nonetheless the kept trying, never
giving up in their quest to locate the murderer among
them. They didn't seem to realise that in doing so they
were only making themselves weaker.

Lilyheart, or rather Lilystar now, called for the clan to
gather around her. This time. Surely this time they would
find the right cat. They had to.

Lilysrae asked Sandflower to go around and collect the
votes. Things got too aggressive with cats shouting out
the names of their clanmates. It was tearing them all
apart. Lilyheart didn't need to hear the result of the vote
to know who they would exile. Sandflower's face said it
all.

"Sandflower you must-"
"Fine." Sandflower interrupted Lilystar before she
could finish her sentence, "Maybe it was me, maybe
you all deserve what you are getting right now!"
Gasps arose from around the sandy coloured she-cat
who bounded out of camp, leaving her words to sink in.

Was she really the killer? Were her words true. The
answer to that, was no. No Sandflower had simply come
to despise her own clan over the course of the murders.
Her own exile was the last straw. Lulling them into
thinking that they were safe was the best way that she
could think of hurting them. Without having to actually
lay a claw on her friends and family.

This time the killer stalked the she-cat who, unlike her
other exiled clanmates, decided to head North, to the
farms. They were about to enter Windclan territory
when Sandflower was jumped from behind.
"You!? But I-" Sandflower shouldn't have spoken,
this distracted her from the fighting and she didn't see
the killer dart towards her legs, knocking her off
balance. Or at least she didn't see it fast enough. With
Sandflower off her feet the killer leapt atop her, going
for the killing bite and pummelling her stomach with
their back claws.
________________________________________________________
Lilystar spoke to the clan the next day, yes she had failed
to name a deputy before moonhigh but no cat could blame
her.
"I say these words before the bodies of our fallen
clanmates, Bloomheart will be the new deputy of
Riverclan." There were a few hums of appreciation
from all the cats but none were in the mood to celebrate.

"I also wish to appoint two new warriors. Mosspaw and
Softpaw, please step forward." She continued, "Mosspaw
from this day forward you shall be known as Mossbreeze. We
thank you for your loyalty and courage. Softpaw, from this
day forward you will be known as Softheart. We thank you
for your strength and intelligence."

The clan quietly cheered the names of the new warriors,
pleased to have a future for their clan but also numbed by
all the killings.
"Finally, Stonekit come forward. Stonekit you were just
two moons when this all began, now you are almost six and
it is time for you to become an apprentice." Lilystar spoke,
desperately trying to remember the words she had heard spoken
so many times before.
"Stonekit, from this day forwards you shall be known as
Stonepaw. Mossbreeze, you may be a new warrior but I feel as
though you are capable of training this young cat as well as
you were trained."

The clan dissipated back to their dens, with some going off
hunting. Their would be little celebration going on in the camp,
especially when the would discover Sandflower's body next to the
Windclan border.
Wrong cat again Riverclan. Quickly, quickly find the killer,
or who knows what they might do next.

Conchstream had finally managed to get to sleep for the first
time in moons. He found himself in a grassy clearing and the
sky was full of stars. He looked around and spotted the one cat
that he would always hope to see.
"Bullfrog-throat!" The tom bounded over to his old
mentor, eager to see her once again. "How are you, are you
comfortable here? No. Have we found the murderer?"
He knew that his barrage of questions would not be appreciated
but he had to ask anyway.

"That is what I am here to discuss Conchstream." His
mentor said, a solemn tone to her voice, "I am afraid that it
is your time to join us here."
"What? But I'm not dead how could I possibly-" The tom
didn't manage to get the words out as he was brutally awoken
from his dream. He was suffocating. He looked up and saw a
cat looming over him, paws pressed down on his throat. All that
he could make out of his killer was a few flashes of white fur,
nothing else.

It was over quickly. He didn't even get a chance to cry out. At
least he was warned of his own death, even if it was too late in
coming...

You now have no medicine cat Riverclan, your numbers are
getting thinner and thinner each day. Better be quick in finding
this killer before they kill you all.

Lilystar woke up, shaking her head from a weird dream she had. Blinking she trotted over to the medicine cat den, tail flicking. "Conchstream?" she called, sniffing. Walking in, she saw his stilled body still in his nest. "Not again," she groaned, growling softly. Gently picking up his body, she laid it out in the clearing, eyes looking around at the quiet clan.

Lilystar frowned, wondering what to do without a medicine cat. Yowling for a meeting the young leader looked down at the clan, her clan now.
