Blazingsun
He trailed out of the med den. His sisters death weighing on him more everyday. He prayed to his sister in star clan everyday that they were correct in accusing blizzardstrike. Why would any of them target those two Apprentices. Why wouldthey target his sister and pigeonspot... he thought to himself. He was so sure that his sister would have been announcing kits to the clan with how much the two had spent time together. He flopped on the ground in front of his den he didn't care to eat as his heart was still grieving this sun rise. He huffed.

She could feel a pit in her stomach as she saw the new medicine catwalk out of the den and plop down. With all the cat had lost, it only just made her feel more uncomfortable.

She decided to take a walk over, sitting down and placing a tail over Blazingsun's back, trying her best to reassure herself and the cat. She really did miss Pigeonspot and the apprentices and kit running around the camp more then ever now. Not liking the silent and frigid mood.

it was not long before the clan realized that cranepaw was missing. as the small clan woke up, the young she-cat made no appearance, immediately sending panic and fear throughout the clan. with only 5 cats remaining, jadedstar send mistbreeze and ottersnap out to search for the apprentice while she, minnowshade, and blazingsun remained behind. they followed her scent trail to the falls, and were horrified to discover her crushed under a rock. the duo was unsure how to bring her back to camp and sorrowfully left the she-cat behind to return the news to camp. they made their way quickly, knowing that one of riverclan's members was about to be booted next. the murderers were going unsolved for too long.

when they returned empty-pawed, it created confusion. mistbreeze broke the news to jadedstar, who immediately turned on mistbreeze. "cranepaw was your apprentice, and now she's dead!" she snarled, flexing her claws as she immediately became hostile. the air quickly became tense, and the small group's demeanor fell awkward. mistbreeze felt a deep pit drop in her stomach, knowing once she was accused, that was about it. she turned to her mate and daughter, both of whom looked away and shrugged. minnowshade stepped forward, guilty for casting her vote but felt it necessary nonetheless, saying, "i know this is hard decision for us to make, but... we're running out of options. cranepaw would've trusted you. it's all the evidence we have."

mistbreeze sighed and nodded, anguish filling her as she realized she had to leave her home. "i didn't do this, i just need to say my peace on that," she said as she padded out, looking over her shoulder in hopes that someone would do something. all she was met with was a mix of glares and looks of pity. she dropped her head and continued her way out, deciding to take refuge in another clan. she tried thunderclan first, but when mentioned she was thrown out for the accusation of murder, they turned her down. she had better luck with shadowclan, becoming a rather lonely warrior of the clan, missing the river greatly.

you have one chance to catch the killer.

ottersnap has been promoted to deputy.

nightfall fell over the somber riverclan, with its remaining four members begrudgingly returning to their empty dens. minnowshade and ottersnap curled together as the only two warriors, blazingsun settled in his quiet den, while jadedstar lay awake in her nest. her mind was terrorized by the slaughters of each of her clanmates, having begun with the murder of her own daughter. she tossed and turned, sighing with frustration as more stress than sleep filled her mind. she curled up, burying her face in her paws. nothing. she stood, figuring perhaps a midnight stroll would ease her mind and tire her body. as she began to make her way out of the den, a heavy force knocked her to the ground, hitting her head sharply against the ground. her ears began to ring, muffling the voice of her attacker.

"jadedstar," they spoke, clearly but quiet enough to not alert the rest of the clan, "i know your dirty little secret." they padded forward, pressing a paw down on jadedstar's head. too dazed to move, jadedstar could only let out a small groan. "you're a half clan cat leading riverclan! how disgraceful," they snarled into her ear, flexing their claws. jadedstar winced in pain, straining to better hear her attacker. though she could not see them, she hoped she could rely on her sense of hearing to pin down who it was. her nose gave no indication, only picking up on riverclan's general scent.

as her attack spoke, another voice chimed in from the entrance of the den. "hey! you!" they cried, galloping towards jadedstar and the mystery cat. the weight was lifted from jadedstar as she heard the two tumble, wrestling with each other. she stood to her paws, swaying as her head still spun. she felt one of them rush past her and out of the den, running faster than she had ever heard a cat go before. her savior pursued, pausing for a moment to assess that jadedstar was not in immediate need of care. after a quick glance, they took off, chasing the murderer through riverclan. they soon lost the trail, frustrated yet relieved at the same time. it had felt like each night, they had a sense of who was going to be attacked and closely guarded that cat, but never faced off with an attacker. instead, they would die the following night. finally, they had guarded the right cat at the right time. they returned to camp and slunk into their den, with a nagging thought about who the killer was.

the killer had treed themselves in the chase and waited long and hard before descending. anger and frustration coursed through them, knowing it was too late now to try to kill jadedstar. they made their way back to camp and into their den, but sleep seemed impossible to come.

thank starclan your guard was on point tonight, but are you smart enough to catch the killer?

because there’s so few of you’ i’ll go ahead and open votes

[The Trickster~]

OTTERSNAP
Tom // Camp // Tags; N/A // Vote; Blazingsun

Ottersnap barely slept anymore, exhaustion settling easy into his body, sitting next to the ever-present grief he now felt. Almost his whole clan was gone, either killed or banished, and the loss felt almost like Ottersnap had lost some part of his body. Something important was missing, and he didn't know how to fix it. His apprentice was gone, his son dead, his mate banished from her home. At least his daughter was still here, but how long could he expect that to last? Clearly, Starclan had left Riverclan, and Ottersnap didn't know what to do.

His new position as deputy was also something that sat heavy on him. Once, he would have been proud to have such a great honor passed on to him, but now it felt as if he was desperately trying to hold together a clan that was crumbling at his paws. He wanted to do his clan proud, to help all of his clanmates and keep them safe, but what good had that done so far? No matter how hard he tried it still felt like he was letting everyone down, his family especially.

With a deep sigh, Ottersnap rose, gaze drifting around the nearly empty den. The only warrior that remained was Minnowshade, and with only the two of them the den was far colder than it should be. His gaze lingered on Minnowshade for several moments, fear filling him at the thought that he could lose her too. He exited the den then, taking in the camp. It felt empty, with only four cats to populate it.

He was the first awake, which wasn't much of a surprise to him. He would let the others rest when they could get it. Yawning, he sat silently in the camp clearing, not having it in him to groom himself right now. Instead, he simply sat, contemplating the recent events that had shaken his clan.

[Tainted~Wings]

Blazingsun
He sat near his den. As the time went by he began closing himself off to his clanmates. He saw ways they stared at him. It broke his heart. He'd given everything to his clanmates. He was a warrior who would willingly defend his clan and take the fall and then some. He was the warrior who willingly gave up dreams to have a mate and kits for his clan to have a medicine cat. But he could feel that his time within his once beloved clan was waning. "They'll never believe I wouldn't do this star clan," he whispered, "please if I'm sent away tonight give them help and safety." He turned away trudging back into his den before flopping down. "Why would anyone do this... my sister... those Apprentices... trusted warriors turned away from clanmates..."

xxXxxWhat even was the clan anymore? A vacant forest clan? Of what? The cat pondered for the longest time, curled up in her nest. The warrior cat scent of many riverclan cats had been fading, least say the company. It was too quiet, too nerve racking. The she-cat just staring down at the ground below her as she curled up. She felt lonely. Just taking a small gaze over at the tom, her father, sleeping nearby in his own nest.

xxXxxShe missed her mother. Only wondering if Mistbreeze was actually the killer or not. Maybe...*maybe* Starclan could put a paw in and helped now, right? At the thought of it, she came to terms that Starclan just wasn't with them anymore. The cat taking a paw and resting it over her face. Just internally terrified. What if the killer wasn't gone? What if she was the next one to be taken? The dark fur rising up a bit as thoughts raced a bit trying to rethink about the events occurring.

xxXxxHer eyes widened and with a startled movement, she looked up at the rustling nearby her. Oh thank Starclan, it was just Ottersnap getting up from the nest. The restlessness of her being was just surprising considering how she ended up falling asleep to begin with. Maybe her mind was just so tired of all the stress. Though she didn't move a muscle otherwise from her spot. She couldn't figure out what to even say to the tom even if she tried.

xxXxx Tried all she could to be a good warrior for the clan, taking any moment she could possible to help with the situations and yet...what did that do? It didn't help, at all. Not a paws effort was even satisfied at all with what had happened. She confused the smell of death of her just being old? What stupidity that was! Not only but she should've suggested to come with patrols aswell! No matter of it, she was just a bit too nervously scared to really talk to any cat right now.
