Warrior Cats: Choose Your Own Adventure (COMPLETE)

[Arcaii]

"We aren't allowed to go here alone, usually," says Thistlenose quietly. "But we've been having some trouble with our prey getting sick. The apprentices went out alone to hunt both times. That's when it happened."

You're not sure exactly what to think right now, or even feel. The idea of someone deliberately finding and killing apprentices is enough to make you sick, and anger is slowly burning in your heart.

"But, why?" you say, when you can finally find the words. "What's the point? What does that do?"

You can't see her, but you know Thistlenose's owlish gaze is on you again. "Perhaps it-"

Something pushes you from behind.

You don't get a chance to see what it is before you're almost pushed into the water. You manage to roll and stop yourself. One of your feet is dangling off of a ledge. You aren't sure how big that ledge is, but you're not willing to find out.

The dark apparently is troubling your assaulter just as much as you, but they're getting close. You shout something to Thistlenose, but in the heat of the moment you don't know what you say. She's moving around, trying to find you, and yelps when something hits her.

You jump up and charge forward, hoping to hit something, anything. You get a good strike on the attacker, feeling a grim satisfaction when you smell blood. A thick waft of herbs clouds your nose.

There's a sharp cry of pain, and suddenly the smell disappears. You hear something running away, but you don't stop bristling until Thistlenose's voice calls you out of attack mode.

Fighting Skill +1.

"Are you alright?" she says. She's breathing a little heavier, probably from the fading blood-rush, as Fogpaw calls it.

I'm fine.
Who was that?!
Did you set me up?
Did you get hurt?

[Greenleaf]

"Did you get hurt?" Rookpaw demanded.

[Altias]

Rookpaw wouldn't benefit much from asking an unanswerable question ('who was it?' in the dark? not to mention the herbs covering the scent), so it'd be best to check up on the other cat to make sure she's not hurt.

[~Moony~]

(*gasp*) ask if shes ok

[shortstop]

Did you get hurt?

[Warriors13lover]

"Did you set me up?" She asked

[mistywater]

With her mind swirling, Rookpaw yowled 'Who was that!?' feeling anger and confusion.

[.kestral]

I'm fine, she looked worried, better reassure her!

[Arcaii]

Roll says... 1: Did you get hurt?

"Are you okay?" You manage to find her shoulder, and pat her to let her know where you are. "I heard you get hit."

"Just my ear," she says. "It's not hurt."

"They tried to push me," you say, feeling a delayed panic. "They tried to push me into the water."

"To drown you." Thistlenose sounds grave.

"Could you smell them?" you say, voice shaky as you try to calm down. "All I could get was blood and herbs."

"Their scent was masked to me." Thistlenose's voice becomes more soothing as yours becomes nervous. "We should leave."

You don't say anything, just nod, even though she can't see you. She leads you out again, and you're relieved when the moon shines down on you. Thistlenose insists on escorting you back to your own territory in case the attacker comes back.

You look at each other from across the water when you get back on your land. Both of you are serious and worried, but no words are exchanged when you turn away and trot home.

The next morning, you're woken up early by Applefoot, who clearly notices your quieter mood, but says nothing. She lets you eat breakfast alone, and then brings you out to the training area. You do your best to perk up and listen.

"Is there anything in particular you want to do today?" she asks. You can see that she's unsure what to do with you being like this.

Practice fighting.
Practice hunting.
Practice swimming.
Practice climbing.
Patrol the borders.
No...not really.

[mistywater]

'Practice climbing' Rookpaw muttered unenthusiastically. She hasn't done too much of that yet.
