Murderers in Thunderclan V.6

[rookie rook]

Woodenheart

"Good morning, Tornadostar!" Woodenheart purred. She then noticed the smile on her leader's face."What's wrong? Aren't you glad we finally exiled our killer?" She asked, worried.

[The Trickster~]

Frostedpaw slowly awoke, glancing around her den. She knew she had slept in, and she slowly stretched out. She padded out of tge den and suppressed a sigh. She quickly glanced around, searching for her new mentor and father, Batwing. She was still upset about the exile of her former mentor, Nightclaw, but was very happy that her dad now mentored her. But.... Nightclaw couldn’t have been the murderer, could he? He was such a nice cat..... Frostedpaw shook the thoughts from her head and continued searching for Batwing.

Glowpaw

"Coming, Woodenheart!" Glowpaw had nearly forgotten what it felt like to feel happy. Day after day, her heart felt heavier and heavier and the ritual of burying clanmates had grown regular. Now that Nightclaw was gone, the clan could sleep in safety. She bounded over to Woodenheart. "Can we take Beetlenose with us?" Glowpaw asked, "I haven't talked to her in a while. Besides, she's a great hunter."
Without waiting for a response, she peeked inside the warriors' den. "Beetlenose?" she called.

Woodenheart

"Beeeetlenooose!" Woodenheart sang out. She waited for a moment, waiting for a response but none came. "Maybe she went out by herself?" Woodenheart suggested. "Let's go get find her." Woodenpaw said and lead her apprentice out into the forest

Tornadostar sighed "I hope so Woodenheart. I don't know if I can handle loosing any more cats." When Woodenheart then called out for Beetlenose and suggested to her apprentice that they go look, the young leader's tail lifted in interest "May I come?" She asked tilting her head. If Beetlenose was missing, who was she to not look for the lost warrior. Especially considering all the danger that had been hanging over the clan like a dark cloud lately.

Woodenheart

"Sure, why not?" Woodenheart called to Tornadostar. She then had a sudden realization that maybe, just maybe they wouldn't find Beetlenose alive. She shook the terrifying thought away, as she headed far away from camp.

[SarahStuffies]

Tornadostar nodded, and followed Woodenheart out of the camp. She parted her jaws, scenting for the missing warrior. She hoped Beetle nose was alive. She didn't think she could take much more of the turmoil the clan was going through.

She caught thunderclan scent, and mixed with it the stale scent of Beetlenose. "This way!" She called, picking up the pace and running ahead of the other two cats on the search party

Woodenheart

Woodenheart followed Tornadostar, smelling Beetlenose's scent as well. ... But what's that other smell..? Woodenheart thought, then realized. She had voted wrong. She smelled a mixture of that dreadful, red liquid she often smelled with murder. "N-no...." Woodenheart murmured, following the scent until it was too strong. She looked down the cavern. All she could smell was Beetlenose's corpse.

"NO! THERE'S NO WAY, SHE.... Beetlenose..." Woodenheart stopped, shaking her head, trying to clear her thoughts. ".... No..." The warrior forced herself to say, in pain.

[mikan!]

Glowpaw’s hair stood straight on end when she heard Woodenheart’s yowl. “W-Woodenheart?” she breathed heavily. ”Don’t t-tell me...” Glowpaw scented death. The smell was strong, overpowering the faint scent of Beetlenose. Her green eyes grew huge, and glazed over with shock. ”No... not again...” Glowpaw felt numb. ”I... should we tell the camp?”

Woodenheart

The warrior looked at her apprentice with stretched eyes full of fear. She couldn't spit out the word "Yes" so she just nodded her head and softly murmured "Please..." She looked down the cavern, trying to see Beetlenose. Hoping that the she-cat was somehow okay, but she already knew she wasn't. The murderer was still on the loose and she now knew that she wasn't safe.
