Number of Cats: 53 | males: 26 | females: 27 | Next Starclan Visit: may 3rd | Pebbles: 149| first post: here | mod: kaspbrak. | serving needed: 9 ( next at 56 cats )Ridgepelt ~
Ridgepelt sorted the herbs calmly in her den, soothed by the rythym and pattern. Sprucepaw was out searching for herbs, while she remained here.
She absentmindedly reached a paw over to grab a mallow leaf, when she nearly did a double take. Flashing before her eyes, briefly, but impossible to miss, all of her herbs suddenly bore the tell-tale traits of raspberry leaves, green leaves and jagged edges. The screeches of a lone cat echoed through her head. Blackness chased at the corners of her vision and she swayed on her paws, frigid, icy cold piercing her skin.
Then it was gone. As quickly as it came, the vision was over. In fact, with a shudder, ridgepelt noticed that no time appeared to have passed.
Shaking herself, she forced the memories to the back of her mind.
odd. What's that all about? she thought. Determined to forget the event, she shakily resumed sorting the herbs.
Featherstar ~
Featherstar looked up with a start as the remains of the last hunting patrol returned. Gasping she saw Ginger, Whitepelt, Mintynose, Owlspeck and Sootpaw returning.
All of them were bleeding from various scratches and scrapes, but Sootpaw was yowling, blood oozing from a nastly slash across his left eye.
Featherstar came rushing over, followed by ridgepelt and sprucepaw, who'd apparently just returned from herb sorting or hunting, because he set the pile of stems down in quite the hurry.
"What happened?" Featherstar demanded.
It was ginger who answered. "We were hunting, when whitepelt spotted a particularily large hare. He chased it down a hole, that i'm sure we all thought was just a rabbit hole, but bly, were we wrong! Whitepelt came screeching out of their, a huge badger hot on his tail. We fought it as best we could, and though we hope it won't return any time soon, Sootpaw suffered some pretty nasty injuries." He finished.
Featherstar dipped her head in aknowledgement. "Ridgepelt, they're all yours." She mewed and then stepped back to let the medicine cat do her work. She noticed that the gray and white she-cat seemed slower than usual.
must just be old age and the stress of being a medicine cat. she wondered to herself.
Turning her focus back to the more pressing matter, she turned to Flamepelt who had trotted forwards to help.
"Flamepelt, where are tawnyheart and wolftail?" She asked. He paused to think for a moment.
"I believe they're out on border patrol, featherstar." He said.
Nodding, she instructed him to find them. As featherstar watched him streak off into the woods, until the mists had swallowed him, she felt a wave of sorrow fall over her.
"Bad times are coming," she murmured aloud. "And when they get here, only starclan can save our souls."
Maplepaw ~
Maplepaw dropped her catch onto the swelling fresh-kill pile, and felt a twinge of pride that surged through her.
Thrushwhisker, who had been in charge of her hunting patrol, grinned and addressed the patrol. "Alright, now you are all free t—" she was cut off abruptly as they all noticed Tawnyheart and wolftail sprinting in through the entrance, followed by a more winded-looking flamepelt. Wolftail raised his voice, and called out to featherstar.
"What happened! We were told badgers were attacking!" He growled, looking around as if expecting a striped horde of badgers to come crashing through the trees any second now.
Maplepaw herself was puzzled, as she hadn't noticed any badgers. Luckily featherstar came dashing over and explained something in quick, hushed tones, before the three senior cats rushed off to the medicine cat's den.
Confused, maplepaw walked towards the apprentice's den, where sandpaw, larkpaw and reedpaw were conversing. She trotted up to them, and noticed that everyone's faces bore frowns and reedpaw was nervously flexing and unflexing his claws and pulling up clumps of grass.
"Hey!" She called, startling the small group. "What happened? Why did tawnyheart and wolftail come crashing in here like a whole pack of dogs was on their heels?"
Sandpaw and the others quickly filled her in on what she'd missed while on patrol, and larkpaw let out a tiny gasp when sootpaw's eye was mentioned. It occured to her for the first time how hard it must be for sootpaw's siblings, to just sit patiently while their brother was injured and in pain. She knew it must feel awful.
A few days later, when everyone had finally found out about the badger attack, and the whole clan was certain it had been driven out, maplepaw was confident things were beginning to return to normal.
She had been assigned to a patrol led by flamepelt, along with owlspeck, graywing, sandpaw and one of the newcomers, applefall.
As the group padded through the undergrowth, digging up the fresh-kill they had buried earlier, she raised her head to test the air. Yesterday a storm had blown through, and the trees creaked and bent in the harsh wind. The mist was all dissipated and the sky darkened. This bought of storms smelled of trouble for all of mistyclan, and it was far from over.
Sandpaw bunted her shoulder playfully, and mewed cheerfully, "hey maplepaw, guess what?" She paused, looking at maplepaw, until finally she could stand the suspension no longer.
"Alright, what?" She asked and rolled her eyes, even though she was happy to see sandpaw happy.
"Me and edenpaw are taking our assessments tommorrow!" She cried. Almost at once maplepaw's good mood evaporated.
"Oh." She said. "Congratulations."
Sandpaw frowned, and lowered her voice. "Hey, something bothering you?" her tone only frustrated maplepaw, why was she treating her like a kit?
she must think she's better than me now that she's nearly a warrior! she thought angrily.
Sandpaw rested her tail across her shoulders. "Hey, it's okay." The oriental mewed.
Maplepaw merely shook her off and walked ahead.
"It's nothing." She growled. But sandpaw was persistent.
"You can tell me."
"I said, i'm
fine!" She snarled and shouldered past her. She turned away from the others and blindly running ahead, oblivious to the other's shrieks of warning, and ran on. Everybody she cared about had to leave, all of the time, and she hated it!
Suddenly instinct told her to slow down to listen, and as she did, she heard the urgency in the others's voices, and an ominous creaking...
Crack!She looked up, her eyes contracting to slits as a large branch broke off of a tree. Screeching in terror she tried to flee, but with a sickening crunch her back leg and tail were crushed beneath the falling branch. In an instant, unbalanced, she felt the sharp crack of a rock against her skull and then everything went dark...
