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

[web.]

Goldenfeather awoke to the screeches of his clanmates- his paws went into action, almost tripping over his mate's sleeping form as he stumbled out of the den. His heart was pounding out of his chest, and he ran to where his clanmates stood. He quickly attempted to regain his composer, the fur that was beginning to stand up on his back smoothing down.
"What- What happened?" He stammered, slowing his paws steps as he approached the line of cats.

Moonpaw headed back to camp, holding a vole in her paws. She was almost to camp, when she head a yowl from her mentor. She stumbled into camp, forgetting the vole that she left near camp. "Wha-what happened?"

The sight Goldenfeather saw as he pushed past the other forms answered his question for him. The calico bundle of fur that used to be Shiverpaw lay with her paws strewn out, her jaw lined with a recognizable beige foam. The tom shut his eyes and looked away from the sight for a moment, his breath catching in his throat as he held back a gag. He had seen the sight before- his own mother had died after ingesting the small red berries known to cause the symptoms that Shiverpaw seemed to show. He knew almost instantaneously that Shiverpaw did not die due to a mistake- the she knew of medicine and herb usage- and therefore the death had to be caused by an external source. The murderer was not the apprentice that they had accused.
The tinge of guilt he felt was brushed away as he took a step back to usher Moonpaw from the scene. The she shouldn't see a sight like that at such a young age.
"Shiverpaw is dead." His mew was almost a whisper to his apprentice, and he stood in front of her to stop her from running forward. "I-I'm sorry." He didn't know whether Moonpaw and Shiverpaw were close, but he wanted to show that he cared- that he was there for her if she needed to express her emotions. Obviously, it was slightly awkward as he isn't used to comforting someone, but he was trying.

Doveroot shrugged. "Since it seems she ate prey tainted with Death Berries, I wouldn't touch her right now," she meowed. "If you did, please wash off, just in case the death berries liquid got on you," the medicine cat meowed. "It was someone from our clan though," she meowed, clearly unsure of the cats around her.

Finchblossom flattened his ears in worry. "Starclan, why does this have to happen..?" he murmured to himself shakily.

The tom could only sigh as he overheard the others. Why was Starclan doing this to them? It didn't make any sense.

swanwish looked down at her paws, head sagging with a saddened defeat. She couldn't believe what had happened to her clanmate, shiverpaw. What in starclan's name was happening to her poor clan? she sighed, feeling a tug at the back of her throat, challenging her to let out a cry of pain and sadness.

Shadewave

Shadewave didn't even have to leave the den to know another cat had died. Despite everything, he felt oddly emotional. Whomever was killing his clanmates would pay. He padded out and to where everyone was crowded around Shiverpaw, stepping to Yewbriar's side.
"I'll find who did this, I promise you." He murmured.

Yewbriar sobbed as she watched her mate and other warriors shoulder their way through the crowd to view the body of the dead apprentice. Barely acknowledging the presence of her littermate at her side and the words of her Clanmates, she released another yowl filled with her swirling emotions; grief, fury, confusion, disbelief. "Oh, StarClan, why?! Why is this happening, why must they all be taken before their time?! Who could do this?!" After her cry, she crouched down, curling herself together with flattened ears, avoiding eye contact with any other cats.
