Murderers in Riverclan V.3 [welcome back!]

[gerard way]

pigeonspot || tom || camp || tag: minnowshade || abstaining

pigeonspot watched as the patrol left before his gaze shifted around the camp. he watched cranekit enter the medicine cat den and minnowshade follow suit, curiosity and boredom now tingling at his paws. he gave a small chuckle as he watched minnowshade be ignored by arcticshade, ears swiveled to listen to the conversation. he stood and made his way over to his sister, calling her name to catch her attention.

“minnowshade! patrol just left and now i’m bored. don’t know what got them in a fuss and now there’s nothin to do,” he said as he approached, plopping down at the medicine cat den’s entrance. “any plans for the day?”

Minnowshade
Female | Camp | Tags; Pigeonspot | Vote: N/A

She slowly sat down and turned her head around to see Pigeonspot coming straight over to her. She didn't go to mind the ignorance Arcticwhisper gave her at all, Cranekit was just a kit after all. It was just rude! "There isn't much we can do at the moment other then stay here. Jadestar already left with the patrol after all and us going out without a word wouldn't be a great idea."

Tail flicked and curled around her paws awkwardly to try not to look worried in the slightest. Which didn't entirely work. "They went out to look for Gullpaw and Sunpaw, they're missing."

pigeonspot || tom || camp || tag: minnowshade || changing vote to arcticwhisper >:)

pigeonspot nodded as his sister spoke, picking up on her anxiety. “i see. i think that they’re just bored apprentices who wanted a morning hunt. they’ll probably come back before the patrol does,” he said, turning to quickly groom minnowshade’s head to comfort her. he tried to assume the better of an off-putting situation, knowing panic does nothing but further cause chaos. “but i suppose you’re right. with such few of us we can only afford to let out one patrol at a time anyways.”

Cranekit nodded, it was clear she was worried about the apprentices. "I just hope they're okay," she meowed, glancing up at Articwhisper, glad to have a family member. Hearing two other voices, she flicked her ears. "What would you like me to do?" the kit asked, looking towards Arcticwhisper again, paws kneading the ground, wanting to get her mind off things.

Blazingsun
He silently nodded to his sister and followed them out.. "I'm splitting off here," he told the pair. "If it's anything concerning it might be better for another cat to be near jadedstar. " He shared for his sisters concern over their leaders call to go alone so he hadn't let himself get too far from his leaders scent as he branched off alone. That's when he caught it. The scent. Something that made him choke. He swallowed bile hoping it was from some rogue that stepped too far in boundaries however as he were to creep forward he would soon learn. Maybe the patrol wasn't too far and he could call out and wait so he wasn't alone. "Jadedstar? Ottersnap? Flamingheart?" He called out. "Anyone nearby?"

jadedstar’s patrol searched riverclan’s territory far and wide to find sunpaw and gullpaw, split into four groups. blazingsun and jadedstar went on their lonesome, while flamingheart and ottersnap stayed together. it was poor jadedstar who founded the deceased pair, not too far from the river in the forest. the overwhelming rotten stench of death was enough for the blind she-cat to identify her daughter and gullpaw. her wails brought both parties’ attention, causing all three cats to race towards the commotion. disbelief stunned them, silence brought to all of them.

ottersnap noticed the prey and the state of the apprentices. he brought this to jadedstar’s attention, pointing out her daughter was poisoned. somebody killed the apprentices. angry and distraught, jadedstar and the patrol made their way back to camp as swiftly as possible as they carried their dead. in his jaws, ottersnap carefully carried the half eaten prey back with him.

everybody was shocked to see the somber patrol arrive. they carefully placed the apprentices in the center of the camp before jadedstar leapt onto the large rock to call meetings, skipping a formal calling as she knew everyone had already gathered.

“cats of riverclan,” she began, her fur already bristling, “we found sunpaw and gullpaw deceased- poisoned, i should say.” her mind raced, wanting to pin the blame on somebody. “no other scents than riverclan was found. one of us- one of you did this.”

murmurs swept through the camp as cats began to speculate. the fact that the apprentices were poisoned smelled of a medicine cat’s doing. blame began to be casted onto arcticwhisper.

“we found prey stuffed with deathberries,” ottersnap said, stepping forward with the prey. “a medicine cat would easy access to them. we know arcticwhisper keeps a supply of them.” eyes turned to the white tom and shock plastered his face.

“no! my duty as a medicine is to heal and serve the clan. this is- no!” he cried, leaping to his paws. desperate, he looked to his father and sister, both whom turned their back to him. “you think i’d kill my clanmates? my brother?”

everybody stared and began to encroach on the tom. he backed up and crouched as cats began to accuse him, eyes angry and lips curled back into snarls. jadedstar waited as her clan came to their decision. she cleared her throat and called out to riverclan.

“enough! arcticwhisper, it is clear the tides are against you. i don’t know what to make of it… but somebody has to pay for this. it’s you,” she growled, flexing her claws. “now leave before bloodshed. find somewhere else to go.”

struck, arcticwhisper snarled and turned to the camp’s exit, swiftly exiting his former home. before he took his last step, he turned to clan, declaring, “mark my words. blizzardstrike did this,” before disappearing. unfit to properly fend for himself, arcticwhisper turned to the nearby twolegs, eventually his way into a nest and settled on the kittypet life. spiteful, he tells the other kittypets of clan horror stories.

riverclan! you lost your medicine cat. i hope your numbers can handle it.

due to his basic herb knowledge, blazingsun has been promoted to medicine cat.

cranekit has been promoted to cranepaw; mistbreeze is her mentor.

for all intents and purposes (plot/intended kills), this round of mir takes place in the forest territories

moons had passed since arcticwhisper’s exile, and all seemed well in riverclan. no deaths followed the tom’s absence, satisfying everyone. it was already hard enough for riverclan to continue forward after their harsh leaf-bare, and the brutal apprentices’ death only caused for everyone to be more somber. flamingheart particularly had a hard time coping with the murders. they were so senseless and random.

in hopes to get answers, she began to visit arcticwhisper in desperate attempts. except, she never visited alone. pigeonspot accompanied the she-cat each visit, worried for his companion. they often made night visits, slipping out of camp and trekking to the twolegplace to seek answers from their medicine cat-turned-murderer. most nights they had no luck, as arcticwhipser’s bitterness was still strong. flamingheart and pigeonspot felt hopeless, but still continued to visit. their visits to arcticwhisper slowly turned to general visits to the twolegplace to chow down on kittypet food and mingle. the kittypet was easier.

riverclan’s hitman kept watch most nights, noticing the pair take off routinely. they began to follow the pair, watching as their clanmates turn to the soft life of a kittypet. they watched with disgust, bitter and angry once more they were witnessing the warrior code being broken so carelessly. one night, they stopped flamingheart and pigeonspot from leaving.

“i know where you’re going,” they said, blocking the two from leaving. flamingheart and pigeonspot exchanged nervous glances, unsure which part of their nightly visits was the worst offence. the murderer had to be careful about what they said next. “i know you’ve been seeing arcticwhipser,” they continued, “i know it hasn’t been easy for you, flamingheart.”

“come. let’s talk back somewhere more private,” they said, flicking their tail towards the forest as they stepped away from camp. “let’s discuss what happens next. after all, you two have been up to no good.” the trio silently slipped into the woods, making their way to the river, each anxious in their own way.

“i suppose i could have you two exiled. that way you won’t have to have a paw in both worlds- you can live the life you want.” flamingheart and pigeonspot remained in nervous silence, nodding as they listened. “or i can let you off with a warning.” they paused, looking at flamingheart and pigeonspot with intent.

the statement was almost too good to be true. “what do you mean?” flamingheart asked, glancing towards pigeonspot. “like, if we stop you won’t say anything? would you really?” her voice sounded eager, relieved she wouldn’t have to face the consequences of her actions.

the killer nodded. “to be frank i am disgusted by your traitorous actions. but you can redeem yourselves,” they spoke coldly. “i don’t know how. but you will. i’ve been keeping an eye on you and will continue to do so. i’ll know if and when you do this again.” both the cats nodded in understanding. however, that did not erase the nagging anxiety in either’s bellies.

“how do we know you won’t eventually snitch anyways?” pigeonspot finally spoke up, eyeing their extorter. “why do you care so much, anyways? it’s not like we’re avoiding our duties as warriors. we’re just fine,” he said, standing his ground. “shouldn’t i get a pass for this? you should understand me on this,” he asked. this was much to their other’s displeasure.

annoyed and flushed, they responded, “it’s the code. that’s that. if you want to be like that, fine. just wait,” they growled, flexing their claws. “why don’t we just head back to camp before this escalates, hmm?” they said, turning around to make their way back to camp in frustration. they thought they could curb the two cats’ behavior before it became a real problem for riverclan, and saw that their intervention did no good. it was now in their paws to get rid of these traitors. as they made their way back to camp, tension hung heavy in the group.

when they arrived, it was quiet and peaceful. flamingheart and pigeonspot began to make their way towards the warriors’ den before their third companion stopped, calling out softly, “i can tell we’re all a bit tense and at unease right now. how about i grab us some poppyseeds from the medicine cat den?” they offered, stepping to the side and making their way before either could respond. they silently slipped into the den, gathering a pawful of foxglove seeds. they re-emerged, and gave both flamingheart and pigeonspot enough.

“err- thanks,” flamingheart said, dipping her head to lap up the seeds. pigeonspot followed suit and the two bid their third goodnight and slipped into their nests. they followed and watched as the two quickly began to stiffen as the foxglove began to paralyze the duo. they could smell the fear and panic from the pair as they were helpless in their situation. their killer knew they’d soon fall into comas if not die right away. satisfied, they slipped into their own nest for the night.

riverclan, that’s your second pair! your killer is good at this game. can you beat them?
