PeakClan

"I see..." Crowthorn's tail flicked thoughtfully. "Well, I think that statement is true of any cat, loner or not," he replied, referring to her saying that loners would take any allies they met. He'd been born and raised in PeakClan, a clan cat through and through, surrounded by others from the moment of his birth. And yet, irritatingly, he found himself looking for allies, wishing he had them, more often than not. "Sometimes nobody wants to be your ally, so you have to make them. Otherwise, you've only got yourself." The rain had slowed from a heavy downpour to just slightly more than a drizzle, and Crowthorn rose to his paws. "Well, this looks like as good a chance as any," he observed, already beginning to slip out of the den. "I'm sure you've got places to be, as do I."

A pang of sadness stabbed Hawkeye's heart as Yewbriar explained to her what had happened, and then again when Petalstar arrived only a moment later to the same sad sight. She figured it must be especially hard for both Blossomcloud and Petalstar, both being mothers themselves, to see such a young cat meet such a terrible fate, although Blossomcloud was clearly trying to be strong for her own daughter. That, and the fact that Blossomcloud had likely seen and buried the bodies of many different cats, broken in all different ways, in all the moons she'd lived. She noticed that Rabbitfur was looking particularly queasy, and was relieved when Yewbriar told them they could take a moment. "Thank you, Yewbriar," she meowed softly, dipping her head to the the two elders. She nodded in acknowledgement of Lostface's words before flicking Rabbitfur's flank with her tail. "Let's go to the den, dry off a bit," she invited, already making her way to the warriors' den. In truth, she just wanted to get the younger tom away from the horrific sight. It was horrific indeed, and perhaps if Hawkeye hadn't been shown such a similar sight on that night moons ago, it would have sickened her more. That night...

"Thank you, Badgerlight," Gingerleaf purred softly at the queen's encouragement before rising to her paws. "Alright, if you're sure. Just call if you need anything at all, okay?" Giving the she-cat one last nuzzle, she exited the nursery. Of course, at that moment, she wanted nothing more than to be with Sunpaw, if only to make sure she kept breathing. But when she remembered Littlepaw, she stopped. Seeing the apprentice's broken body filled her with sadness more than anything else, enough to break her heart, especially when she imagined how his mother would feel upon seeing her son in such a state--and when she imagined such a thing happening to her own kit. She didn't feel she could neglect the young tom's body a moment longer, and resolved to grab some lavender and mint to adorn it immediately--only for Birdpaw's ear-splitting screech to reach her ears and make her whirl around. The leader's son was standing in the entrance to the medicine den, looking horror-stricken. Immediately, Gingerleaf raced over to him. "Birdpaw, what is it?" she asked frantically, her own fur fluffed up now.

PineClan

"Is that so?" Halfface could've sworn he detected a hint of defensiveness in Lionstar's tone, but if he did, it was well-masked. "Well, pardon for me for intruding. I just wanted to make sure PeakClan wasn't giving you any trouble, what with you not being fully healed and all." It was no secret that moons ago, Halfface had once been a PeakClan cat himself. But for reasons that he chose not to disclose, he had left his birth-Clan for their neighboring and rival Clan several moons ago, only ever revealing that he had issues with Petalstar's leadership. Now, he followed Lionstar's gaze to the patrol that had just entered camp, bringing the tang of blood mixed with the stench of fox in with them. Mudsplash had rushed over immediately to help Shadowhop prepare Swiftstep's body, while Lionstar began conversing with Vixenbite before making his way to the Highrock. Deciding that his help was unneeded, Halfface went to the fresh-kill pile to grab something to eat while Lionstar spoke, and met Ashstorm there. He greeted her with a nod. "Your poor brother is going to be busy today," he mewed to her.

"Well, I can barely stand my brothers," Southwind laughed, although he was only half-joking. "Or my sister, for that matter. And you don't get along so great with your mother either, do you?" He knew that the relationship between Icepaw and her mother was a touchy subject and that perhaps he had risked going too far by touching on it, but..."Everyone's got a soft spot for someone, is all I'm trying to say," he finished.

Darkflower watched Jaywing go with a roll of her own eyes before turning back to Foxcloud and shaking her head. "No, I'm alright. Might've twisted my paw, is all, but I'm fine. Speaking of Swiftstep, how is she?" She tilted her head questioningly. She hadn't even paid attention to where Mudsplash had wandered off to.

Kestrelclaw's eyes clouded over all over again when his sister inquired about the state of their fallen clanmate. He nodded wordlessly to the crowd of cats surrounding Swiftstep's body, now joined by Mudsplash. Darkflower's eyes widened. "She's...dead?" she asked, her voice little more than a whisper. Kestrelclaw simply nodded sadly.

"𝒫𝑒𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒 𝑔𝑜𝓃𝓃𝒶 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊, 𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓃 𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓎'𝓇𝑒 𝑔𝑜𝓃𝓃𝒶 𝓁𝑒𝒶𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 -

A slight movement caught the leader's attention, just out of the corner of her eye. About as soon as she had turned towards it, a small, apprentice-aged looking cat had bounded up to her, firing off a million questions. Petalstar's lips curled back. "Get out of here," she hissed at the young gray queen. Her pelt was bristling - the leader didn't have the patience for yet another wandering loner, especially another showing up in her camp! Her claws slid out and sunk into the wet, muddy ground. "Don't you have a nose? This territory is covered in our scent markers. You're lucky I don't rip your pelt off right now! Leave our territory at once, before we have to show you that PeakClan isn't a safe place for loners like you." Her gaze flicked to Hawkeye and Rabbitfur. "I'm sorry for making you go back out into the rain, again - but will you see to it that this cat leaves our territory?" Her tail lashed behind her angrily. She was anxious, too - her gaze kept darting towards her son, who had dashed out to fetch Gingerleaf. The medicine cat was with him now, but she still feared the worst; he could have very few reasons for fetching her. Had Thunderhowl worsened? Had Sunpaw? She wanted to know, and it frustrated her that she was stuck dealing with another loner thinking their territory belonged to everyone.

“ I ’ m not sure what happened to him,” Sparrowcall admitted with a small sigh. She peered through the rain, watching the cats interact across the camp, too far away to see the loner appearing near Petalstar. They seemed huddled near Littlepaw’s body. “I don’t want to intrude,” she continued quietly. “He was our Clanmate, but I didn’t know him very well…” the dilute tortoiseshell trailed off. She would sit at the vigil for a moment, honor Littlepaw’s memory, but after that she would leave it to those close to him - like Puddlespring.

"what did i do!" she cried as loud as she could. she turned to look at every cat gathered around. she sat there satisfied. she thought she had hurt them. she did not know that a bite and a scratch was not much. she walked over to her collar and buried it. "i just want to stay for a few nights" she thought she looked at the cats she attempted to hurt and saw them glaring at her. "please let me stay" she cried. she knew if they dient let her she will find some other cats to help her

"why cant i stay? what can i do to prove i can stay with you." luna knew that either way she would live off there pray and take there food. but she also knew that she would do whatever she could to stay with them. she would probably die because she had no idea how to hunt.

Hawkeye had started to here the loner away, only for her to suddenly attack Petalstar. Anger burned beneath her pelt and she leapt in front of Luna, her back arched and her teeth bared. "Who do you think you are?" she demanded. "Trespassing onto our territory, past the clearly defined scent markers, barging straight into our camp, and demanding we take you in? And then attacking us when we refuse? You sure are one entitled cat! I wonder how you'd like it if we intruded into your home and just decided that we were going to live with you uninvited, and then attacked you when you refused--and don't give me any 'oh, I don't have a home so I wouldn't know, woe is me' fox-dung. I don't care if your don't have a home; you clearly had one, from the looks of your collar, but decided to leave it. That was your choice." The words had tumbled out before she realized entirely what she was saying. She was sounding like her brother without even trying to, and that scared her. Had he rubbed off on her? She shook the thought away. It didn't matter; this loner was clearly in the wrong and Hawkeye felt no sympathy for her. "You're not a lost helpless kit. You're a full grown cat who can take care of herself, and if you can't, then you'd better teach yourself how to, because we aren't here to take you in. Now come on." Giving Luna a hard nudge towards the camp entrance, she began to head that way herself, gesturing to Rabbitfur with her tail not to hold back if the loner tried anything else.

Gingerleaf's eyes clouded over with a mixture of sympathy and sadness as she realized what had happened. "I'll do what I can," she told Birdpaw softly before slipping into the den, but she knew inside that it was already too late. Thunderhowl hadn't been improving and this was what Gingerleaf had prepared for. It was only a matter of time. (Will have her break the bad news next post, phones about to die lol)

Timberfoot stiffened slightly when Foxcloud leaned into him, but relaxed after a moment. The sweet scent and soft, warm touch of her fur was always comforting, buy especially now. He could only hope that he was as comforting to her as she was to him. "Probably just announce what everyone already knows..." he murmured. He didn't think it was really worth calling a clan meeting for, as everyone could see what happened, but he wouldn't complain. It was a chance to sit quietly next to Foxcloud as they listened to him, after all. He wrapped his long tail around her, as if to draw her closer.

Luna ran out of the camp desperate to find someone to help her. But the cats did not know the only reason Luna attacked was so she can prove herself to the other cats. As she ran out she said exactly that. She said “the only reason I attacked was so I can prove myself. My friend at home said wild animals fight to prove they are strong and worthy” and with that she choked back her tears and ran.

Without thinking, Hawkeye darted after Luna and quickly caught up with her. She wasn't going to let this loner remain in their territory and cause more trouble. Once she had gained a tail-length on Luna, she leapt in front of her, intent on blocking her. "You don't prove anything by attacking a cat you just met because they don't want to let a stranger come and live with them," she hissed. "And even if you could, you don't stand a chance against clan cats. Maybe this is how things work back in Twolegplace, where you're from; you go to any old twoleg's house and they'll just pick you up, huh? But that's not how things work here. We're not something that you can just choose to join, just because you want to, no matter how strong you are. You should focus on learning how to respect others before you learn how to become strong." Though her ears were still hot with anger, Hawkeye had started to calm down, and now that she focused on the tears in Luna's eyes, she felt a slight pang of guilt. This she-cat was young, clearly misinformed about clan cats, not to mention a former kittypet. Though her actions were unacceptable, perhaps she hadn't fully realized that. Was I too harsh? "Look," she meowed, her voice gentler now. "If you're lost, I'll escort you back to Twolegplace. But after that, you need to stay away from here, okay?" She wouldn't drag Rabbitfur into possibly leading a lost kittypet home, but Hawkeye couldn't deny that she did feel bad for the younger she-cat, and so would escort her further if need be.

"Yes, but it looks like it might be a long night still." Fogsprint replied to Lightningwing, glancing around camp, his eyes flickering between the medicine cat den and the elders getting ready for a vigil. "I do hope tomorrow will be better." He mewed.

Puddlespring took a bite of the prey and purred at Stormeye's returning warmth. She was so happy to have him with her and for him to be so supportive through all this. "Thank you again," She said, both to Lostface and to Stormeye and took another bite, her stress having made her hungry. "Do you think the vigil will start soon?" She glanced out of the den curiously.

"Oh, what a shame." Yewbriar said sincerely, following Blossomcloud's gaze to Gingerleaf's den. "Perhaps Thunderhowl will guide Littlepaw to StarClan." It wasn't as much of a shock to Yewbriar that the deputy was dead. Thunderhowl had been struggling for a while, but it was still hard to accept. "Will Petalstar be okay?" He asked.

Rainpaw trembled slightly, looking out towards the camp with Leopardpaw. Poor Swiftstep. "I hope so. I think the weather has shaken everyone up, and well, the fox as well." She said with a sigh.
