Murderers in Thunderclan V.6

xxHeronpaw sat in the medicine den, sorting herbs. She
had finally memorized all of them- even the herbs that
looked nearly identical, those that were rarely found in
ThunderClan, and those that she hopefully never had to
use. She sighed with relief as she exited the den to grab
a squirrel from the fresh-kill pile. It was plump and the
smell made Heronpaw’s mouth water to the point where
she was nearly drooling. She snatched it in her jaws and
sat down by herself when Specklepaw padded over to her.
xx“Hey. How are you?” she asked in a gentle voice.
Specklepaw had been with Juniperpaw the night she
disappeared, but seemed to have forgotten her sadness
over the grief and fear of all the murders and exiles happening.
xx“I’m doing okay,” Heronpaw admitted with a shrug. She
took a bite out of her squirrel and nearly yelped when it
tasted like dung. She spat it out and jumped up, hissing. A
few maggots writhed out of the squirrel’s near-black insides.
It was clearly rotten and Heronpaw waved Allfur over with her
tail.
xx“What happened?” The deputy asked, confused.
xx“I nearly ate crowfood!” she meowed with surprise.
xx“We’ll dispose of it,” he assured her with a kind smile. He
waved over Cutstripe, one of the few warriors left in the Clan,
and they took it out of camp to bury it. Heronpaw’s appetite
had been ruined and she sighed, looking at Specklepaw.
xx“I guess that I’m going to rest now,” Heronpaw meowed. She
padded to the medicine den and curled up in her nest, drifting
into a harsh sleep. The first thing she saw was Juniperpaw’s scared
face, covered in blood and wailing in the forest. Heronpaw
immediately opened her eyes to find that she’d only slept until
the sun began sinking in the sky. She sighed, padding back to the
fresh-kill pile, and took a mouse. She took it to the medicine den
and nibbled on it until it was dusk, and cats around her began to
go to sleep. Heronpaw was about to attempt to sleep again when
she heard a sound in the forest like an injured cat. It was a short
wail that only she seemed to hear- no cat reacted. So Heronpaw
waited for a while until everybody was in their dens, and then
took off into the forest. She heard the noise again, louder this
time. She was getting close to the source, she could tell. She
broke through some underbrush to what she was sure was the
source of the sound- but all she could see was a blueberry bush.
She frowned and sniffed at it, and there seemed to be nothing but
blueberries in there. She looked around and wondered if this was a
trap before scurrying up a tree and scanning the area. Nothing that
looked even remotely dangerous. But then she heard something
that sent her nerves on fire before drowning it in relief.
xx“What are you doing up there?” a familiar voice called. It was a
Clanmate, she thought with relief. She couldn’t tell who it was, but
she looked down- nope, still nothing. Was she hallucinating out of
fear? She climbed back down the tree and then saw the cat, hiding
under a bush. Bright eyes peeked out at her and she tilted her head.
xx“What are you doing out here?” Heronpaw asked the cat. “And before
you retort, I’m out here because I heard a wounded cat.”
xx“You’ve got me there. Why don’t we just go back to camp?” but the
cat’s words seemed to betray their thoughts, because they backed up.
Heronpaw stepped closer to see what they were doing, and quick as a
flash, the cat pounced at her. She yelped in surprise and hopped out of
the way, and then she saw sharp claws flick out at her. She went into a
sprint as she ran back to camp with fear coursing through her veins. She
bolted through the camp and hid in the dirtplace, burying herself into a
bush where she hoped the cat wouldn’t find her. She waited until the
moon rose high in the sky before retreating to the medicine den, where
she slept in the medicine storage. Her last thought was of who her attacker
might be.

batpaw
the little tom woke up from a nightmare with a start. he shook his head, the nightmare having already cleared from his mind. he hated when he forgot his dreams, especially so fast. the sun shone dappled through the trees above the apprentice den, casting odd shadows on the other cats. batpaw carefully walked out of the den, nearly stepping on acornpaw in the process. once he was free, he stretched and looked at the fresh kill pile. even the thought of food made his stomach hurt. but i'm so hungry... i guess i'll have to see heronpaw. maybe she can help, he thought. batpaw sighed and headed over to the medicine den.
standing by the beech-laced entrance, he called, "heronpaw?"

squirrelpaw

squirrelpaw wokeup 'what if someone died today' she shivered from what happened last night, from what she could hear, everything is normal, she stepped over tropicalpaw and oceanpaw, not wanting to wake them up lile last time, atleast not yet, she waited for a hunting patrol to be formed because she might as well join one, as her mentor isnt here, she got exiled and it wasjust warriors taking turns having train her.

[DaisieGames]

Heronpaw had a restless night after being attacked. Glad she had escaoed, she blinked tiredly. "Yes Batpaw?" She questioned, yawning.

[*FallenDream*]

Killer pm?

[DaisieGames]

"I'll be right back Batpaw," Heronpaw replied. "I need to go talk with Mysticstar and Allfur," she meowed, heading over to the leader's den. "Allfur, can you come with?" she called to the deputy. "I want to discuss something with you and Mysticstar," she meowed, glancing around at the clan.

batpaw
"i- okay," he said, watching heronpaw leave the medicine den. the poor apprentice had such a heavy burden placed upon her pale shoulders. embercloud was gone, wrongly exiled, and heronpaw had just recently started her training. her tail disappeared behind the corner and batpaw heard her speaking faintly, leaving him alone in the den.
xxhe turned his attention to the herbs, stomach aching and rumbling. the clamor of smells assaulted his nose as he examined the leaves, seeds, roots, and petals. after a few moments, he came up with multiple poppy seeds stuck to his licked paw. he scraped all but two back into the pile. they were a cure-all, right? he'd seen them used for an assortment of things, especially pain. batpaw liked to trust himself, and he was alright with taking a risk, even if he was pretty sure the poppy seeds were the right thing. he licked them off his paw pad, and tried to chew on the tiny black seeds.

[AkiraAono]

squirrelpaw glanced up and saw batpaw eat 2 poppy seeds without heronpaw's consent " uhh...batpaw? whhhaaatttt are you doing?" she meowed coutiously, poppy seeds were used to help cats go to sleep, why would batpaw need poppy seeds right now? its only morning.

[DaisieGames]

Heronpaw realized her mistake. "I should help Batpaw, " she murmured, turning around to hear Squirrelpaw. "Batpaw, what type of pain are you having? " She asked.
