Murderers in Thunderclan V.6

[the folly of man]

Flypaw!
tags: open

Flypaw hadn't completely recovered from the loss of his family, but he was starting to do okay. He woke up from a pretty good sleep, but he was still tired for some reason. Maybe just because he'd been kind of mentally exhausted for a while. He still got to his paws, and padded out the den, not exactly ready to face the day, but he'd do his best. He hadn't heard anything about Ocelotstar, so he didn't know about the death of the leader.

harrierstar took in a deep sigh as he strolled up to the top if the highledge. ”let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the highledge to hear my words,” he cried out across the hubbub of the cats chattering below. eventually the voices calmed down, though tension hung so thickly in the air that you could cut it with your claws.

”due to recent events, it is time again to exile the cat killing us from the inside out,” the tom explained, though at this point it didn’t really need explaining, with the rise of so many deaths. a few cats whispered their thoughts, but harrierstar raised his tail for silence. ”creekrose,” he called to the male queen.

”it wasn’t me!” the brown and white cat yowled. ”i swear! i could never harm our leader or deputy or a kit!” his paws tapped on the ground anxiously. "it was-- it was-- for the love of starclan, i can't remember…"

harrierstar winced a bit himself. he didn’t like to see his clanmates go, but it was for the survival of every cat. ”i am sorry, but the clan has spoken. leave now and never return.” he flicked his tail to dismiss the cats, and leaped down from the highledge back into his den, avoiding the stares of his clan.

wrong again, thunderclan! you’ve exiled another innocent cat!

leafbare came quicker than expected to thunderclan. time seemed to move a lot faster with everything that had been happening lately. two moons had passed since rooksea’s disappearance, and cats had already somewhat passed grieving ocelotstar. the days grew cold as soon as the trees had rid of their leaves. a whitish frost coated the grasses and leaves, while clouds grew dark and heavy. each day, the dread of an approaching snowstorm seemed to overwhelm every thunderclan cat.

finally, the day came. it was just past sunhigh, when the sun wavered behind the tops of trees and cast dim shadows on the camp. our killer had just returned from patrol. already the clouds had begun to take over the sky. they stretched out their legs and slunk over to the medicine den.

once they'd shouldered their way in, they were met face-to-face with coldwhisker's disapproving glare. “just get what you need and leave,” he barked, exasperated.

“what i need is you,” they explained. “i was told to accompany you out of the territory for a gathering mission. i’m sure it won’t take long.”

coldwhisker seemed reluctant, but eventually yawned a bored “fine.” he got to his paws and followed them out of camp.

they trekked through thunderclan land and perhaps beyond into windclan’s moors. mere heartbeats after the storm had started, the land had become unrecognizable, shrouded in a sheet of white.

“it should be around here,” said the killer, stopping somewhere among the blanket of snow. the both of them could see nothing else in any direction, only the prints in the chest-high snow that were quickly being covered. “if we’re lucky, we can find some place to sleep, i think.”

eventually, they found somewhere-- a tall, pointed cypress tree with a bit of space underneath where there was very little snow. “we can stay here for the night,” they suggested to coldwhisker. “perhaps the storm will have passed by morning.”

“it’ll be impossible to search for any herbs with all this snow about,” scoffed coldwhisker harshly. his words bit into their pelt more than the sharp cold.

“we can dig, and we can improvise,” the killer meowed. “get some rest. i’ll keep watch.”

eventually, the tom hesitantly curled up and slept. when they were sure he was asleep, they filled the entire space with fresh snow. it was unlikely he’d get out from there-- the snow was almost up to their muzzle when they stood. they set off, sure that the snow would cover up their prints. nearly a moon later, windclan would discover the frozen solid form of a cat in the thaw.

give it another go, thunderclan.

Cranepaw watched silently as WindClan dropped Coldwhisker's body off. Wondering who to talk to, she glanced around, clearly unsure of what to do.

Toadface
Tom | Elder | Deaf | Tagged: Cranepaw, Open

The harsh leafbare definitely hadn't been treating the old elder nicely, and with more things than just his aching joints weighing on his mind, Toadface had found it hard to relax. He had been sleeping more lately, but all that had lead to was his clanmates, his family disappearing without a trace to him. The thought made him sick, but so was the ways of an elder. It's not that he meant to ignore them, just that he was old, tired and withered. They'd understand, right? The kits he'd lost, the family the rest of the clan would never get to see again, they'd understand, right? His own pathetic words fell on deaf ears, ringing emptily in the silence of the world.

Well, he was awake now, and figured he may as well try to accomplish something while he was. He stretched out a bit, cringing slightly at the aching in his hips, before heading outside into the chilly leafbare air. Cranepaw was already awake and he could make out a few figures disappearing through the gorse tunnel in the distance, but the clan seemed fairly empty other than that. Was that just because everyone was asleep, or..?

Lighten up a little, old man, things aren't always bad. he thought to himself, padding up to Cranepaw. Now that he was closer he could see another cat... laying lifeless on the ground a few tail-lenghts away. Oh. So that's where Coldwhisker had been for the past moon. Looking at the apprentice again, he began rather awkwardly, "Well, er, I was going to say good morning, but, uh..." He looked blankly at the body. There weren't many signs of decay right now, but the smell of death still hung there. Toadface's eyes wandered back up to Cranepaw, his eyes watching for any responses he wouldn't hear.

Apricotpaw crouched in her nest, fur fluffed up in some desperate attempt to thwart the cold. The den seemed emptier without mushroompaw and minnowpaw. She missed her brother dearly, and it pained the young cat to think that any one of her family members could be next. Shutting her eyes and wincing at the thought, Apricotpaw continued to think about staying warm. That would take her mind off of the murders. It did, for a moment, until her mind wandered back to the thought that she could be next. Apricotpaw shivered, though she wasn’t sure if it was because of the cold, or the thought of her death, the claws of some evil, unidentifiable clanmate reaching in to her nest and tearing her to pieces.

The tom stiffened as he saw Coldwhiskers body. He wished he felt more at this point, he really did, but most of his Clan, even half of his family now, had been exiled or killed. He wanted to feel shocked and appalled, but the murders were becoming a fact of life for ThunderClan. All they could do was to exile someone and pray they'd get it right this time, and he desperately wanted to. He began padding towards the stiff body, sniffing it and flinching as his whiskers brushed the cold fur. He sat down next to him, looking at the expressionless face. Had he been sleeping? Maybe he'd gotten caught in the snow and resigned his fate. He thought back to the killer, what if they managed to lure him out and get him? I don't want to die. The thought passed through his head, breathing becoming quick and his thoughts drifted. Do we all go to StarClan? What if I'm not good enough? What if they think I'm the killer? Great StarClan, what if they exile me? He clenched his jaw and turned away, retreating to the edge of camp to let his thoughts.
