She was nervous after the situation where two of her clanmates died, of course, either of them was formerly from Stormclan and was not that close with her, but still they didn't deserve to die. Both of the fallen warriors were only two moons older than she was, barely out of the apprenticeship which made them dead even more tragic.

He stayed in distance, bit really knowing what to think of anything the death of the two young warriors come like a shock to him. He was pretty blad that his friend Amberpaw was safe as one of the fallen she-cats where his mentor and there were was a mentor was the apprentice. He was not talked to Amberpaw after that, he thought the young tom wanted to be alone for now.

He sat near the clearing, his tail flicking next to him as he watched the young apprentice Willowpaw and Creamflower, who looked after her mate. He didn't really know what really happened as the warrior died, someones were talking about a battle, but he was not there when it happened so he had no details. For him, Creamflower seemed a little cold toward her fallen mate as she only got to eat, but then again she may be grieved in silence, not showing it outside.

She sat there not far from where her father was, she didn't give eye contact with Creamflower as she felt like it was her fault that she was not there for her mate, but then again even if she stayed in the camp how could she be there for him? Troutwhisker died in the forest. Her eyes wandered around to see her brother Foxstrike, which was at the same patrol with the fallen warrior, she knew she could be still alive and well, but how was his emotional stake she didn't know.

He walked around the forest, sniffing the grass and the wind, looking for some prey to catch. He was walked separate ways from his younger half-sister Erebus, so they could have better chances to actually catch something to eat. He walked toward a lake, where he could scent few faint smells of different cats, which made him wonder if he was entering some of the wild cat's lands, they called themselves clan cats, if he remembered right. It's not like he really cared, he was focusing to get some prey now, but maybe it better for him not to wander too deep to the private lands.

She walked separate ways for her older brother Ouroboros, wanting to catch something big to impress the little cocky male, who thought that age is what makes you a great hunter, but she didn't agree with that. A sight escaped when she walked after a smell of mice, though it was getting faint, instead, she smelled something else, two cats. She was pretty sure there was not any clan in this direction, so those cats seemed to be loners like she was. She didn't know if they were aggressive or not so she better be careful for now.

⋯⋯⋯⋯ ❝ EGRETCROWN ❞

ashclan deputy ‣ 36 moons ‣ molly ‣ apprentice: nightingalepaw ‣ crush: tinybear ‣ tags: patchcloud & specklethorn, sunmuzzle [m]

There were no words to accurately describe the gaping hole that had cracked open her heart and let the void of loss seep in with the death of two of her nieces. She had never really dealt with death well when it happened to someone close to her and to prove that was the way she'd nearly fallen off the rails when her littermate and Lakepaw's older sister died and their parents followed. This time was different, Egretcrown knew that because of her position she couldn't afford to lose control of herself like that. She would have to hold it together while she dealt with this painful loss in a healthier, less destructive way.

The white molly briefly slid her eyes to where Sunmuzzle was seated near her, also grieving the two mollies who he had been with during the tragic event. A part of her was comforted that the tomcat had been with her nieces, was glad that there was at least someone to tell the tale of how it happened rather than everyone having to come up with possible theories to their deaths. On her other side was her sister, crouched low with her belly sweeping the ground while her nose was pressed in the soft fur of Specklethorn's spotted pelt. Her heart went out to her younger sister and she wanted nothing more than to pull her close in a tight embrace and shield her from any and all tragedy's. Alas, Egretcrown knew that was impossible so she curled her tail around her paws, hung her head and continued the vigil for her kin with closed eyes.

⋯⋯⋯⋯ ❝ LAKEPAW ❞

ashclan apprentice ‣ 11 moons ‣ molly ‣ mentor: tinybear ‣ crush: to be rosethunder ‣ tags: specklethorn & patchcloud

The ground was cold under her warm belly where she lay by the fallen bodies of her kin, cold nose pressed snugly against the furry flank of Specklethorn. She hadn't been entirely as close to her aunts as Egretcrown had been, but they were still family and and had been with them through thick and thin. Lakepaw's eyes held a somber, distant look when her eyelids flickered open and a jagged breath puffed out of her slightly ajar mouth. She could feel the gaze of her elder sister on her but couldn't bring herself to move. Not yet anyways. A long moments passed and the apprentice could slowly feel herself begin to tingle with the overwhelming grief that filled her. Deciding what she needed at that time was to clear her mind, she rose to her paws with only a telling look towards the white deputy before she padded off towards the camp entrance, seeking out a distraction from the vigil taking place.

⋯⋯⋯⋯ ❝ CRAKETOOTH ❞

ashclan warrior ‣ 12 moons ‣ tom ‣ apprentice: -- ‣ crush: open ‣ tags: rosethunder

His slumber was peaceful and relatively dreamless which is how he often preferred it to be. Whenever the silver tabby dreamt his dreams were usually very odd and confused him to the point where he wondered if he was going mad. So to have a mundane, uneventful sleep was a luxury much preferred for Craketooth. With a low, barely audible groan he nestled deeper into his nest moments before a sharp pain shot up through his shoulder. Leaping up with a loud hiss, he whirled around to face the offender only to have his eyes fall upon his slumbering oaf of a brother. His anger simmered down but turned to annoyance as he listened to Rosethunder snore ungracefully. With a sharp huff he lifted a paw and brought it crashing down on the dark tabby's head. "Quit yer' snoring. And stop moving your nest closer to mine. I don't feel like constantly waking up with one of your paw prints printed on me" Craketooth snapped, clearly feeling the effects of the morning. Form where he sat he could duck his head down and just see out of the den into the camp and noticed that some were still sitting vigil for the two mollies, though he was sure the vigil was drawing to an end. "Plus, I'm betting it'll be time for patrols soon. The vigil's nearly done and I wanna be ready to head out if I'm put on a patrol" he continued, not really noticing whether Rosethunder had woken or not.

Silverheart | Female | 26 moons | Warrior | Apprentice: Vixenpaw | Crush: Lionwind | Tags: Vixenpaw, Lionwind, Pikepaw | Mentions: Troutwhisker, Willowpaw, Shellstar

Silverheart sat on the edge of the clearing with her tail tucked around her paws. She had already said goodbye to Troutwhisker, and now she sat gazing up at the stars fading as the sun slowly rose. Her heart ached dully, though she hadn't been particularly close to Troutwhisker, she felt sorry for Willowpaw. It must hurt to lose a mentor, especially for an apprentice so young. Her thoughts wandered to the available warriors who could be her new mentor. Shellstar would soon appoint someone to finish her training, and Silverheart hoped Willowpaw's training and enthusiasm wouldn't be hindered too much by her grief. She glanced at the apprentice sitting vigil for her mentor and saw only grief in her eyes.

Foxstrike | Male | 12 moons | Warrior | Apprentice: | Crush: open | Tags: | Mentions: Alderpelt, Troutwhisker, Smoketail, Snowstar

Foxstrike winced as his wounds throbbed. Alderpelt had treated them when he got back to camp, but they seemed to hurt worse since he felt guilty for the death of his clanmate. Foxstrike felt he could have stopped the battle, if only Troutwhisker had listened to him and not been so aggressive towards the Ashclan patrol. Smoketail had seemed almost friendly until Troutwhisker antagonized them into attacking. Foxstrike sighed. He knew battles were part of the life of a warrior, but it felt like their problems would be easier to solve if they just talked things through with Snowstar.

Alderpelt | Male | 26 moons | Medicine Cat Apprentice | Mentor: Rainwatcher | Crush: Forbidden | Tags: Shellstar | Mentions: Rainwatcher

Alderpelt finished treating his clanmate's injuries and walked over to sit by Shellstar. "Shellstar, I'm sorry to trouble you more today, but have you seen Rainwatcher? She wasn't here when I woke up. I thought she was just out gathering herbs, but she still hasn't been in camp."

Outside the Clans

Jesper | Female | 8 moons | Outsider | Mentor | Crush: open | Tags: Oliver | Mentions:

Jesper woke with hunger pangs in her belly. The carrion they had eaten yesterday had done very little to satisfy her hunger, but she was glad they hadn't seemed to get sick from it. She would never complain to her father, since she knew he was trying hard to find enough food for both of them and he seemed to give her more food than he took. She glanced up at him, and he seemed to still be asleep, so Jesper snuggled down in her nest and tried to go back to sleep.

AshClan Warrior (former MarshClan) | ♂ | 43 mns | Apprentice: | Crush: | AshClan Camp
Tags: open; Mentions: Sunmuzzle, Amberpaw, Squirrelpaw

A sullen shadow of a cat, Smoketail sat a few tail-lengths away from the others sitting vigil. His head bowed and eyes closed, he could have been mistaken for merely sleeping. But he had kept a vigil of his own, even if he could not share fond memories with these former StormClan cats. Smoketail had carried the fallen warriors back to camp, and he would wait here until he could carry them to their final resting place. It was the smallest thing he could do to repay his debt to them. The responsibility he felt toward their deaths was almost too much to bear. The black-furred tom had to keep his eyes squeezed shut, for opening them would pull him into a whirlpool of nausea. He couldn’t look at Patchcloud and Specklethorn, at the grieving cats beside them who would never forgive him, at Sunmuzzle and his hollow gold eyes. He couldn’t.

Smoketail had not been able to speak a word since he arrived. Leaving Sunmuzzle to tell the story of their loss, he had merely grunted to affirm the golden warrior's retelling. Smoketail had led the ill-fated patrol. He had been the oldest cat present of all the warriors. MarshClan cats, out of all the clans' cats, should have known the dangers of storms and slippery ground. And yet, Smoketail had lost hold of the situation. The slick mud that reminded him so much of home now sent his paws spinning out of control. Frustrated, fearful, furious, his pleas for calm became screeches for the fighters to stop. But his words were lost to the wind, his rage lost to the rain. All he could do was drag the apprentices back before they, too, tumbled to their doom like their mentors. The fault was all his own. His mate and kits swallowed by fire, his patrol swallowed by water. Time and time again, Smoketail had failed to protect his cats. Words could do nothing. Apologies and excuses all left unsaid, the somber tom shrouded himself in silence. Nothing could undo the blame that weighed down his shoulders, the guilt that wound itself around his paws.

Tags: Squirrelpaw; Mentions: Lakepaw

Unable to fall asleep, Meadowpaw had joined the vigil in the quiet of the night. A flood of worries rushed through her thoughts. The little apprentice had been on the border patrol that awful morning... she should have been the one confronting the RIppleClan patrol. Instead, they had hunted and made their merry way back to camp, leaving the others defenseless against the RippleClan aggressors. Meadowpaw's patrol should have rushed to their aid, helped defuse the situation, kept their clanmates safe. At the very least, she should have been there for her sister. Head buzzing with regrets, the tender apprentice finally settled down beside Lakepaw. She touched her nose to Specklethorn's flank like her friend had. Meadowpaw and Squirrelpaw had shared so many adventures under the black she-cat's guidance. Those memories would be all they had left of her. The two apprentices had just recovered from the loss of their mother to the flames, but now Squirrelpaw had lost her mentor too. Meadowpaw could barely imagine what her sister must be going through.

Feeling a shift beside her, Meadowpaw looked over to see Lakepaw get up. She let the other apprentice leave without comment, knowing that her friend needed space to grieve the loss of her aunts. The brown tabby she-cat felt nothing but pain for the hurting cats she saw around her. What if the clan would sit vigil for another pair of sisters someday— her and Squirrelpaw? The gruesome thought sent a shiver down her frail frame. But despite the fear and grief that seized her heart like eagle’s talons, Meadowpaw told herself she had to be strong. For Squirrelpaw and Lakepaw, who had lost so much more than she had. She turned her head to search for her sister, green gaze soft, hoping to bring comfort to the cat she loved.

Former Kittypet | ♂ | 50 mns | Crush: | forest, by Twolegplace-LeafClan border
Tags: Ouroboros; Mentions: none

Though his old world lay in ruins, Auberon faced the smoke and storms with undue confidence. He had it all-- why should he worry? The powerful tom didn't need his housefolk to catch his own prey. But little by little, his Twolegplace territories lost their worth. Without the housefolk to throw out their old food, rodents soon left his favored hunting grounds. Even the crow-food had been picked clean. Auberon had been forced to abandon his old alleyways, scavenging for prey at the farthest reaches of Twolegplace. One hungry morning, the tom followed a scrawny squirrel out into the scorched woods beyond. The trees stood stark and blackened from flame, but they offered new opportunity to the kittypet. And food. Auberon had been nervous to cross the border at first. The proud tom would never admit it, but in his youth, a vicious patrol of "leafy clan cats" had chased him out of these woods with his tail between his legs. Now though, cat-scent had grown stale here. At last-- he could claim this land as his own.

Yesterday's storm had not allowed for good hunting. The hungry, grumpy kittypet had hunkered down beneath a burned log through the night. A lot more irritable this morning, Auberon was furious to scent a lone cat approaching his territory. Probably not one of those clan cats or whatever they called themselves, at least. He closed in on the intruder. Sizing up the other tom, Auberon figured that this might be a harder battle to win than he'd thought. But he wouldn't give up this place and its prey. “These hunting grounds are mine. If you’re looking for prey, look elsewhere,” he snarled, advancing toward the black-and-white tom. Auberon fluffed up to his fullest. His bristling pelt and massive size hid his belly that had grown gaunt from hunger, his still-bleeding scars from recent fights for carrion scraps.

She sat outside of the leaders' den, keeping her own silent vigil alone for the fallen warriors Specklethorn and Patchcloud. The white she-cat had no idea this would happen, but it helped with her plans. Perhaps Snowstar could urge some of the other warriors to attack another patrol, or she could send a different message to Rippleclan. She wasn't sure what her cats wanted her to do, but she wouldn't sit and take this lightly.

The training with Lakepaw yesterday went well, but it was cut off short. He never got the chance to ask Snowstar about the improvement of her training because there was news of a fight. Tinybear sat at the vigil with other cats, trying to keep his head down and his eyes closed for the fallen warriors. However, his attention continued to drift and he kept opening his eyes. To peek at a beautiful white she-cat.

The patrol yesterday didn't end well. Specklethorn and Patchcloud died during the fight. Along with some other unknown tom from Rippleclan, but he didn't care about any of them. In the fight, Amberpaw earned a few scratches and had to be sent to the medicine cat den. Now he was sitting vigil for the two warriors as punishment for joining in the fight, but he felt no remorse or guilt.

Hawkpaw's training had gone somewhat well, his movement with his injured leg slowly improving. However, the two cats were sent back to camp when they spotted the patrol returning with a dead cat on their back. To her dismay, Cinderdream saw that it was her younger brother Troutwhisker, seeping wounds from the fight too large to repair. She cried out in grief and hung her head in great sadness.

Now she sat close to Troutwhisker, lapping gently at the top of his head. Her heart ached badly for her fallen brother, wishing that this hadn't happened to him. Now he was in Starclan with their sister and mother, but she was alone. How was this fair? The grief twisted in Cinderdream's chest, and she clenched her eyes shut. She focused on inhaling his scent, trying hard to keep it in her memory. To keep him fresh in her memory, like he was still alive.

He turned to the tom who walked to him, flicking his ears in uninterest about the male's words, he could tell by the smell and the look that he didn't belong to the clan "No I don't think so, you're not one of those clan cats so you have no right to claim any land, so I don't need to obey or listen to you..." he meowed with a calm yet cold voice. He ignored the other male "so get out of my way, I go wherever I want" he murmured with the annoying tune.

[Animals65]

Creamflower lays beside Troutwhisker's body, saddened by the loss of her mate in an unnecessary battle. "May you find good hunting in StarClan." she whispered sorrowfully. "I'm so sorry that I wasn't there for you when you went on the patrol! I should have said something to get to be with you one last time!" She gets up and gives a nod to Shellstar before padding away towards the fresh-kill pile to get something to eat, grabbing a fish. Knowing that Troutwhisker would want her to move on instead of moping about it, she finds a spot in the clearing and lays down to eat her fish, savoring the delicious taste.
