Murderers in Riverclan V.2 [Roster Update 10/30]

Foxstar

Foxstar was barely keeping from shaking, in a mix of self hatred and rage for the cat that dared lay a paw on her clanmates. She took a couple of death breaths and recognized the smell of the territory and fish. The leader tried her best to recognize that this wasn't her fault, but was unsuccessful. Pushing her thoughts away, Foxstar strode as confidently as she knew how to the nursery. "Shellstreak, help Molapaw bring out Riversplash to the center of the clearing. I will carry Chivekit." The red cat's voice slightly shook, but nothing else in her demeanor gave away her inner turmoil. "Everyone else, leave the nursery. We will be having another clan meeting." Foxstar gingerly lifted the dead kit with her mouth, careful to spill as little blood as possible. She set Chivekit down gently in the middle of the clearing before moving away to call the rest of the clan. "All cats old enough to swim in the river join me for a clan meeting."

Swanpaw left the nursery, his feet feeling heavier than before. He padded to the medicine den, and found a few thyme leaves. Though he privately thought that everyone in the clan should get a small dose of the calming herb, Briarthorn took priority. Hearing the leader's call, the apprentice left his den, thyme locked firmly in his jaws. Swanpaw was weary about going back to the nursery, so he simply sat towards the back of camp, where he could still see Foxstar, but also be ready to hand over the herbs to Briarthorn if she decided to come out.

Why on earth did Lilypool have to die? He hoped that she would send him the strength and knowledge needed to persevere during these horrid, bleak times.

Not wanting anyone to come up to her, Breezeflame tucked into a corner of the clearing, feeling angered at whoever killed her sister.

[ briarthorn?? it seems too obvious, but that's my only suspicion so far ]

Soon enough Shellstreak was called away of from her, and the bodies of her former den-mates were carried away. Left alone with her sister a small shimmer of emotion shone through and she gave Sepiapads a smile. However it was gone as quick as their time alone as Foxstar began shooing everyone outside and towards the clearing for the meeting.

Her robot-like attiude was back as soon as she was being herded in with everyone else. Nestled between many bodies all gathered to hear Foxstar's words she lost sight of Sepiapads. Forced to the back of the ground she peeked above heads and around bodies until she saw her confused looking sister in the middle of the group. Nothing she could do now to get to her until after the meeting.

[[You can have Swanpaw approach her now.]]

[tirocat]

He lazily padded to the clearing, casting glances at other cats. He felt scared for the first time in a few moons, and he realized that this was more than a little problem. Cats were dying, and there was nothing he could do except blame cats that may be completely innocent. He sighed, and tucked his tail in front of his paws.

As more of his clanmates streamed out of their dens to gather in the clearing, Swanpaw spotted the dazed-looking Briarthorn, and he shot up, almost surprised to see her outside. He approached her carefully, as to not startle the queen. "These, uh, can be chewed on," he said, placing the thyme leaves in front of her. "It'll calm the nerves." He sat, tail curling neatly around his paws. He hoped that his nervousness wasn't too apparent; Swanpaw had never given out herbs without Lilypool's instruction before.

[tauriel.]

Relunctant to leave Briarthorn, even for just a few moments, Shellstreak hesitated before moving to help Molapaw carry Riversplash out of the nursery. As soon as they'd finished though, the tom made his way to where Swanpaw was offering Briarthorn herbs. "It'll be okay," He murmured soothingly to her, giving the molly a reassuring lick to her ear.

[☆ѕтαяяу ѕкιєѕ☆]

Amidst all the chaos, Rosetail is just sitting there, looking shocked.

((literally don't know; Foxstar I guess? It's completely random since I haven't been on chatzy (napping is better XD)))

Foxstar

"Cats of Riverclan." began Foxstar, gaze searching over her clanmates. "Last night, as many of you know, Riversplash and Chivekit were killed." The red cat took a shaky breath before continuing. "And I have reason to believe that another one of our clanmates did this, although I wish I did not. After the exile, a mourning service will be held for the two." Foxstar meowed, hoping her clan would be right this time.
