Murderers in Thunderclan V.5 [News on page 897]

[Kylee Hart]

Ashfur met eyes with Owlkit, flicking her ears in a friendly manner. {What even. How does one flick one's ears in a friendly manner? I apologize, I'm tired...} She hoped the kit liked her, and she really wanted to be seen with Owlkit and Whitekit to increase her chances of mentoring one. {Even though there are more apprentices than warriors... lol this post is a mess I'm sorry}

Juniperpaw ~ She cat ~ Apprentice
Juniperpaw sat beneath the highrock, waiting for the rest of the cats to gather so the meeting could begin. They all knew what it would be about. With a sigh, Juniperpaw looked over at Honeystar. She looked so calm... how could he leader seem so unworried by this? She's probably felt this pain before, Juniperpaw thought sadly.
(Hmm... Honeystar?)

Ashfur gasped. How could anyone have thought to kill the sweet, gentle medicine cat apprentice? She was so friendly to everyone and always trying to help... Why would someone kill her?

Silverbreeze gasped, reeling her head back in horror. The shock that a cat was dead in their clan was enough, but someone on their own clan killed her?! She shook her head at the ground. Dawnpaw seemed so.. Innocent. Why? Narrowing her eyes, she tried to think who had killed her.. "Honeystar.. You don't propose that she killed herself?" Silverbreeze suddenly burst out. Was there a scent of another Thunderclan cat, or scent of Dawnpaw only?

Ashfur pressed forward, looking over her shoulder to make sure the kits were okay. "Who found her body?"

[lizard witchdoctor]

"I sure did find the body." Primrosegaze stared directly up at Honeystar, not taking a single glance at the other warriors, "Dawnpaw wasn't in my den. I found faint pawprints leading out of the den. I followed them, and then I found her body, in case you were wondering." From her peripheral vision, the other cats seemed perplexed at the thought of a cat in the whole forest trying to kill a future medicine cat. Primrosegaze lashed her tail around. She hoped that Honeystar would know what to do, because in a dark time like this, not even the brightest and wisest of medicine cats could figure out a solution. A thought struck her, "Uhm, this is just an idea, but, maybe if we investigate more, we could get some of our cats to gather up and vote on who they think is the perpetrator? Then, maybe we could exile whoever has the most votes? I suppose it could turn out horribly or we could get it right. It's hard to tell." Primrosegaze suggested. For once, Primrosegaze felt more calm, instead of grumpy. She wanted to help this clan. She wanted to make sure ThunderClan could beat the pile of foxdung who wanted to destroy us. She wanted to be a hero.

Ashfur left the kits with their mothers and moved forward so she could see Primrosegaze. "Did you see anything else? Any other paw prints, or possibly even another cat?" She knew she was hinting slightly, but it did seem suspicious that Primrosegaze was so urgent about getting an investigation going when she was the only one that might have seen something. "Do you know what she was looking for? If you can show us where she was, we can find where the killer got the berries from or figure out if she got them herself."
Ashfur could feel the rage at the back of her mind, but she pushed it away. She hadn't been very close to Dawnpaw, but she'd known the apprentice well and respected her gentle ways, and the young she-cat's death saddened the warrior.

She thought about Primrosegaze's suggestion. It was too risky though.. There were still many in the clan, and it'll be like having a one percent chance. Silverbreeze looked around her, at all of the Thunderclan cats, trying to reason in her mind who could possibly be the murderer. Instinctively, she pulled Whitekit towards her for protection. "Yes, we can come back and see how she died, too. Dawnpaw could've ACCIDENTLY (accidently, as in like accidently drowned or accidently fell and died or something) died, and there was a cat nearby. We need to see what scents there were back there."

Bumblepaw snorted at the she-cats and he licked his paw and drew it over his ear. He then glared at the cats from under the shadow of a rock, his dark eyes searching for the one that ended Dawpaw's life. "I'll find you, whoever did this," he growled under his breath.
