SunClan's Story [New Thread]

Leah relaxed as the other cat left, though she kept her eyes and ears open for any sign of her or any of the other clan cats. Clearly she wasn't as safe or well hidden as she'd thought. She turned around, pulling back the grass from where it hid her stolen rabbit and herbs. With a regretful glance at the nest she'd put together, she picked them up and started trotting away, in the opposite direction that she'd sent the clan cat. She was beginning to hate the grassland; normally, she'd climb a tree or hide among the roots or thorns of the forest. Here, it was so open. But the old forest was burned down. The clans weren't the only ones to lose their home.

DuskBlaze yawned widely as she crawled out from underneath her bush. Her belly grumbled loudly and the nervous queen couldn't help but grin sheepishly before padding over to the fresh-kill pile. Once there she spotted BirdChatter and though the calico was pretty reserved around strangers, she still found it in her to smile faintly at her clanmate. 'Might as well start somewhere after all.' "Hello BirdChatter..." she mewed softly before picking out a good sized thrush for herself with a dainty paw. She noticed the expression on the young queen's face and before taking a single bite of her chosen prey she sighed and turned to the she-cat."What's wrong dear? You look rather uncomfortable, is something the matter?"

Birdchatter ~

The tortoiseshell queen snapped out of her thoughts and smiled at the queen that had approached her. "Hello..um..Duskblaze wasn't it?Yeah I'm fine,just feeling a little bit guilty about eating without giving anything in return.Some of our warriors haven't had a meal for days...Would you know of anything I could do to help?I feel like a nuisance to the clan.."Birdchatter shuffled her paws sheepishly and looked back at the queen.

Brokentooth ~

The ragged ball of dark brown fur snored loudly deep in sleep.He rolled onto his back and groaned,slowly waking,as his eyes slowly opened.He stared through the branches of the makeshift den.One of the few things Brokentooth admired was the stars,glistening beautifully against the dark blueish black sky.All of Brokentooth's friends were up there,in Starclan.The dark brown tabby groaned again,feeling a pain in his side."Mouse brained apprentices.."He hissed,plucking the thorn from his side. Brokentooth,though,had been the one that had put a thorn in his nest,earlier that day when he was messing with his nest.

Fawnstumble

Fawnstumble yawned and smiled at the sky,"How Pretty.."She murmured happily to herself.The apprentice,or was it a kit?had ran off somewhere,ignoring her and leaving her alone underneath a small tree.Fawnstumble heard a few groans and a lot of complaining coming from the makeshift Elder's den.She chuckled softly,"Oh Brokentooth,complaining as usual."Fawnstumble smiled softly before limping slightly towards the makeshift den,and curling up inside next to Brokentooth.

Duskpaw nodded after Viperpaw told him to return to camp, so he did. With a turn of his body he headed up the hill, and his body of black disappeared into the forest shadows. A little while in he could feel a pair of eyes watching him from afar, deadly, dangerous, and made his fur stand. He stopped walking to look around for the source, but nothing seemed to be glowing in his orbs besides the faint moonlight. He continued on walking till a small snap of a twig made his body freeze with fear. Alone, and far away from friends was never good he knew, but he left because Viperpaw told him too. He knew he shouldn't have, but he did. As the bush rattled in front of him the thing that appeared made his blood run cold, his eyes widen, and his heart stop for a second of flashing memories. Grinner. His body was grey with scars markings everywhere on his body, orange eyes, missing ear, his teeth sharp, and his paws claws always out. As he came closer to Duskpaw he lifted his head to meet the cat face to face, yet himself looking down by his size. "Hello little Duskpaw. Remember me?" he asked in a deep voice like his own. Duskpaw shook his head before bending his back in a silent hiss. The tom laughed cruelly to the cat before running a paw against his cheek. "Haha, lost your voice. I thought with your will you would regain it, but sadly after I cut it you didn't die. Hum, shame. I wish to do it again and see what else you lose," he said with a grin of his sharp teeth. "What do you think Duskpaw?" he asked. Duskpaw wished he had someone to speak though or at least anyone besides touching this cat. He would reply that way, or his tail would be cut off so he didn't move it at all. Grinner laughed again before moving forward to run a claw down his neck where the cut was ending. "Poor Duskpaw. Lose it all last moon, and yet you found a clan I see. Hum, don't get comfy. I will be back for the rest of you," he said with an evil smile before turning to leave. "Also, one more thing. You tell anyone about this I will kill them as well," he said softly before his body faded into the brush and Duskpaw only stared with his body shaking in the silent night.

Eaglestar watched the place where the apprentices had left, growing more and more worried. It had seemed harmless, letting Duskpaw chase after that butterfly. She'd hoped Viperpaw and Wolfpaw would catch up before he got far and bring him back. There was a reason she'd asked everyone to stay here for the night. Trusting Pebblerun to look after the clan for a time, the leader started after them, head low as she followed the trail into the grassland.

Shadowpaw panicks for a moment-he had completely forgotten about that! The tom sniffed the air, and was relieved to find that they weren't far from camp. "Well, there's nothing wrong with being nearly blind. It's great that your paws can take the place for your eyes, though. Let's just hope that you don't lose full sight in your other eye though. We can probably only pray to StarClan for that, but we can ask Shiverwhisker or Appleleaf if you'd like." he mews softly. I'm sure that the clan would treat you equally, even if you do have problems with your eyesight. Maybe we should tell Eaglestar." he adds. He lays his soft black tail over Songpaw's shoulders. "And yes, we should get back to camp." Shadowpaw says. He starts padding off beside her, making sure to touch the she-cat's shoulder the whole way, so that they couldn't get lost. Hopefully they weren't out for too long...Shadowpaw didn't want to get Songpaw in trouble for his idea. Soon enough, they were at the back side of the tree, perfect for sneaking through. Shadowpaw quietly makes a gap with his paws. "Okay, we can get through here,and hopefully nobody will notice. She-cats first!" he whispers, and keeps the gap open for Songpaw.

Wolfpaw kept running, not seeing Viperpaw on her way.
"Help!" Wolfpaw thought, wishing that at least Duskpaw was here. She at least felt safe around him.

It was this type of evening when her mentor was killed. Only Wolfpaw knew her mentor was killed; everyone thought he had vanished.

"Wolfpaw, you fluffy; Hurry up!" Frostfeather teased.
"Coming, Frostfeather!" Wolfpaw smiled. She raced after her, a black she-cat whom icy eyes; Thats why she was named Frostfeather; for the 'frost' in her eyes. They were near a small river, with a few tall grasses surrounding the place. It had been where Wolfpaw and her siblings played as Apprentices; Younger apprentices.


The flashback had been a few minutes; She hadn't realised she had been running, full blast during it, screaming mews of help. The smell of Duskpaw hit her, although Viperpaw wasn't with him. Wolfpaw went in that direction, although she was now completely lost. A black tom stood fox lengths away from her, another cat's smell mixed in with his tell-tale scareness.
"Duskpaw!"

Shiverwhisker finally lay down in his make-shift nest to get to sleep. It was hard for him to do so, knowing that so many of his Clanmates needed medical attention. Once he was down in his nest, sleep came easily. He tucked his paws under him and wrapped his tail over his nose. He was quickly swallowed up by the black of sleep.

Loudpaw streched, his wounds healing nicly and rather quickly now that they'd closed up. He noticed Eaglestar leaving and desided it would be intresting to follow her and get a since of where they were at the moment. He snickered and set off after her, though, as his name suggests, he wasn't very quiet. His paws were heavy and crunching down on every dead blade of grass and is fur brushing noisily against the tall blades.

[Ranua]

Dragonpaw
With a quickened gait the young tom approached the lone tree, his sloping shoulders shifting with his every step as he padded towards the mighty tree. Standing by it he glanced around, wondering who he could talk to or what he could do. it was then that the young male heard close by the loud rumbling of foliage, and cocking his head he glanced over his shoulder to spot Loudpaw sneaking up on Eaglestar. Smirking lightly he waved his tail mischievously before cantering in his direction.

[TheCalicoTabby]

Eaglestar tilted her ears back, hearing loud pawsteps behind her. Lifting her head to smell the air, she soon identified Loudpaw. She didn't turn around, merely lowering her head and continuing to follow the trail while he followed. She could smell Duskpaw, the scents of Viperpaw and Wolfpaw following. Duskpaw's trail was wandering, Viperpaw's and Wolfpaw's more direct. She paused as the trails separated.
"Loudpaw," she said, as if continuing a conversation. "Since you're feeling well enough to follow me, how about you follow Wolfpaw's trail? Did your mentor teach you tracking?" she turned her head slightly, looking at him out of the corner of her eye. She paused, looking up, as the wind changed, tugging at her fur. She looked away, raising her head and opening her mouth slightly to taste the scents in the air. "Change of plans. Come with me." Not waiting for a reply, Eaglestar hurried off in the direction she'd smelled Wolfpaw and Duskpaw. She hoped she was imagining the smell of fear that accompanied it.

{ Why is Shiverwhisker sleeping? I thought him, Spiderpaw, Sprucepaw, and Falconpaw were going on a herb gathering trip. o3o }
