WildClan -Shadows- (ACCEPTING)

[k9inpants]

Twistedbranch lead Spottedmist off the path, veering to a bush of death berries. 'Help me with these." She commanded.

Spottedmist picked two clusters of the bright red berries.

"If only we could prevent it," Monsterclaw meowed with a sigh, turning his tired eyes to Silentleap. He was referring to Phoenixstar's imminent death, not the loss of a single life, but the final death of the red tabby; when Phoenixstar would come to StarClan, only he would never leave. The best I can do is warn Shiningpool... The death of the WildClean leader would come at the paws of a cat among Bluetempest and Twistedbranch's ranks. There was no peace that Monsterclaw had felt so far.

Bluetempest found himself by the river, hunting vole. He killed the small creature with a swift bite. Although he was hungry, it went against his personal beliefs and the warrior code to eat it now. So instead he took to the holly bush where he had hidden the pigeon he'd caught earlier and stashed it there.

Inktear had managed to catch a single squirrel and two shrews. He hadn't been able to kill the squirrel before it let out a warning screech. The prey had hidden now, and he decided that he needed to move further into the territory if he was to catch anything else.

Shadowpatch
Shadowpatch had lazily brought down a pair of squirrels, but was not making a real effort to win. He didn't care enough to try, because he hated Phoenixstar for the lie that had been his life, and he wanted to see him suffer for it.

Silentleap
Silentleap blinked at Monsterclaw. "There is too much at stake. Our battle before was dangerous and costly." He sighed. "Many, many more will join our ranks, of cold, age, and slaughter, before this is over." His eyes were still fixed on the pool. Every now and then he would break up the image with ripples, shifting the view to another cat. "One by tonight- two, if we count Phoenixstar's life."

[~Totally Insane~]

Monsterclaw nodded sadly. "I fear by the time this is over, there will be no WildClan left," he meowed solemnly. He watched the scenes of the future play out in the pool. Two particular ones which related to the deaths that would soon happen. A black drop of ink, falling to the ground, and then a large splatter. Then there was the burning phoenix, it's wings alight as it was brought down mid-flight shadowy figure, a twisted bolt of lightning flashed in the tempest that brewed overhead. "the time will come for us to let this clan go," he meowed.

Bluetempest, having had enough of the competition headed slowly to Sunning Rocks. He'd caught a vole, a pigeon and two shrews. He placed the prey down, willing Twistedbranch to appear with the death berries.

Inktear was still hunting, struggling to find enough to make his father proud.

"Great job, Spottedmist. I'll carry them." Twistedbranch said, carefully picking up the deadly berries. She sneaked to the meeting place, finding Bluetempest. "Bluetempest! She whispered, padding over to him. "We will make two piles. Winner pile, and Runner Up pile. Put your squirrel in the winner pile, so it looks bigger when Phoenixstar puts his catch in. I will put some berry juice in it now, if you can dig it for me." She turned to Spottedmist. "Go warn everyone about the poisoned pile. Tell them to put on piece of their prey in it."

Spottedmist nodded, murmuring, "Yes, Queen," and ran off.

[Duskshine]

Shadowpatch
Shadowpatch trotted toward the Sunning Rocks, planning to put the first half of his catch there and then head back out for more.

Silentleap
Silentleap sighed, watching the shining pool, momentarily not reflecting anything as it went dark. "We must hope," he mewed, "that despite the deaths they will hold on, and might reconnect. I am uncertain that the dark Shadows wish to truly destroy the clan."

"They are warriors, now, Eagleheart. They are even more dangerous," she looked at her paws.

[Duskshine]

Eagleheart
"But we've been warriors longer." He reminded her. "We didn't teach them our best, either." He pressed up to her comfortingly. "Stay strong. We'll get through."

[k9inpants]

Spottedmist ran around the territory, telling everyone following the Kind and Queen what to do. Once he was done, he started hunting quickly.

Twistedbranch poisoned the Winners pile prey, slitting open one of the mice so it would bleed and cover up the scent. She hid the death berries, going over to wash up in the stream.

Flashfoot approached Twistedbranch with prey hanging in his jaws. "Which one is poisoned?" He whispered.

Ravenpaw nodded to Shiningpool and stood up. "Should we leave now, or wait?"
