Murderers in Riverclan V.3 [welcome back!]

[shimmerstream]

Scarface ignored Heronkit’s wriggling and protests all the way back to camp, refusing to answer any of her questions.

Internally Scarface was trying to figure out what his next step should be. Should he see Nettlesong first? She was the closest to Tanglebelly, being that she was his mate, but knowing his sister, he didn’t think she would take the news very well. It would be Bramblestar or the medicine cats then. Scarface decided. He settled on the medicine cats. He hadn’t gotten a good look at Tanglebelly, maybe the deputy was still alive and they could save him. He would talk to Breezefire more specifically, as she tended to be more level-headed that Eelskip.

After re-entering Riverclan camp, Scarface put Heronkit down and told her to stay with an, I’m serious, look. Then he walked into the medicine cats’ den and cleared his throat. “Breezefire?”

Heronkit sighed as they arrived back at camp. After Scarface put her down, she started to the nursery, but upon seeing his look, she gulped and bowed her head, stopping where she was. Sighing, she crouched on the ground, her little tail flicking. Watching as he called the medicine cat, the kit waited impatiently where she was, needing the ground with her paws.

xxxx"hm?-"

xxxxthe herbs clenched between his teeth stifled the sound of surprise at the sound of a cough and call of the other medicine cat's name behind him, his body momentarily tensing. eelskip's ears pricked as he flicked his head around, paw jutting over one of the neatly stacked piles beside his paw, sending coltsfoot petals skittering onto the ground beneath. forcing himself to relax a little, the medicine cat met scarface's gaze as if trying to see if anything was wrong, before glancing over at breezefire, his nose twitching. he gave a brief nod at the shecat's figure, his golden gaze darting over the den's opening for a second, noting an impatient looking heronkit kneading into the ground just outside.

xxxxattempting to busy himself a little, the tom turned and returned to nosing the knocked over herbs into a pile, tightening his shoulders. "ah yes, for breezefire, just- just for her-" the tabby mumbled to himself, voice not more than a whisper as he flattened his ears instinctively. barely noticing his mew growing ever so slightly louder as he spoke, eelskip quickly glanced back over his shoulder at the smokey coloured tom in the den's mouth. "i can clean this up, m-m-my mista-ake, haha, silly me- breezefire's dealing with scarface, y-yes- does- does- do you want me to see if heronkit's okay? is- is there something wrong?"

[breezey]

Breezefire woke up to someone calling her name, and Eelskip grumbling about something. “Yes? Is there something wrong, Scarface?” She said as she made herself look presentable and walked towards him. Then she noticed that Eelskip accidentally knocked some herbs over. “Uh, can you wait for a few seconds?” She asked Scarface. Breezefire rushed towards her apprentice. “Can I help clean that up for you?” She asked the tom.

Scarface sat in the entrance to the medicine cats' den impatiently as Eelskip muttered to himself. As the medicine cat fumbled with his plants, Scarface stretched to look over him and saw Breezefire stir. His gaze flicked back to Eelskip, "Yeah, sure. She’ll be fine, but I'm sure she could use someone to talk to." Just then Breezefire came to question him, but got quickly distracted by Eelskip's pile of herbs. Now thoroughly frustrated with both medicine cats, Scarface interrupted. "No, I can not wait 'a few seconds.' There is something wrong, and it’s that Tanglebelly is probably dieing right now in the clearing by the river. That’s why I need you to come right now." He met Breezefire's eyes as he addressed her and made sure she knew exactly what was going on and why he wasn’t in the mood for excess words right now.

[breezey]

Breezefire went over to help Eelskip, but Scarface informer her that it was urgent, and about Tanglebelly dying. “Oh. Of course Scarface. She said, not bothering to pick up some herbs that could’ve come in handy. If it was urgent, and it involved Scarface, Breezefire knew not to wait. “Lead the way.” She said, quickly trotting next to the male.

She went looking for her siblings. They had lost her apprentice first.. Who would be next

[shimmerstream]

Scarface nodded tersely at Breezefire and trotted out of camp. He glanced at Heronkit sadly as he left and hoped Tanglebelly would be okay for her. Then he ran with Breezefire on his heels all the way to the clearing.

Scarface stopped when he got to the edge. "Well... there he is." He said awkwardly, too nervous to approach any closer or get in the medicine cat's way.

[breezey]

Breezefire followed after her fellow clanmate. They went outside of the camp and ran to the edge of a clearing, where a body lay. "Curses! Starclan why?" a pool of blood surrounded the body, slowly but surely drying up. Breezefire ran up to him, checking for a pulse. Please, just let there be a pulse. Even a small pulse. I will still be able to save him! The she-cat pleaded to Starclan. The pulse couldn't be found, no matter where the medicine cat checked. "T-the-there's no pulse," she said quietly. "I don't think we can save Tanglebelly." she bit her lip.

FireFeather woke up and padded out of his den. He had swore he heard his clanmates chatter wake him, but now there was no one in the clearing. He felt himself blanch. Was there another murder? He knew last time no one chose to vote out a Clanmate, but...
He shook himself, praying to StarClan it wasn’t true
