HopeClan ❀Not Accepting❀ *IMPORTANT POLL*

[Whale_Shark]

Mossheart bristled at first before forcing herself to remain clam, eyes dull and sad. "I more than anyone know what my death has caused. But do not tell me that you would trade places with Lionlight in a second." The queen shook her head, eyes half closed. "Nightwing has his own reasons, and it is true. Lionkit has been surrounded by death his whole life, and now he walks with one foot in each world. Although this is harsh, and wrong, I'm afraid this is the path Lionkit must face... And Nightwing will soon follow into corruption without the light to guide him." The she cat shook her head, smiling as her friend soothed her though nodding. "I am still sorry. And I am afraid you must return to your world, or you will be stuck in this one. As tempting as it may be it is not your time Swanfoot, you will know when it is."

Poppythorn opened his mouth, eyes in slits as he circled the clearing near the hidden couple. "I know you are here. Come out now and I wont have you held back for another moon."

Nightwing shook his head, turning to Lionkit. "Lionkit, walk over here." The tiny ginger kit looked up, face flushed in shame as he forced himself to try and walk to his uncle and the clan leader. He walked at a slant, his clouded eye facing away, his back half of his body dragged along the dirt, not even twitching. His small front arms shook with the effort. The kit reached his destination, gasping for breath, looking up at the two cats with scared eyes. Nightwing turned to Faithstar, shaking his head. "Because of this illness I do not thinking he will ever be a warrior, or a medicine cat. What you name him is in your paws but he will never fully be a part of this clan."

Moontail watched, still purring loudly. Even with the dark mood in camp this adorable puffball made it all go away, She knew now she was going to ask faithstar to move into the nursery and take care of jaykit... but first the most important thing was getting the kit's approval. "The nursery been really cold these past few nights..." She began, wrapping her tail around her paws to get the kit's attention "I'd love to stay with you if you'd like..... I-I'd like to take care of you, to be someone who you can come to in dark times, someone you can trust" She meowed softly, wondering what the kit would say.

Thornpaw|Tom|Apprentice|Tags- Larkpaw

The small brown tom snickered silently to himself as he could see larkpaw bounce up after he spoke, But he decided not to mention it since she might get mad and he truly wanted her to be in her best mood right now. Thornpaw padded up next to her and slowly sat beside his best friend... and crush. "Yea! I cant' wait, it's been forever since we've hung out!"He purred quietly, then slight scootched over so their pelts were lightly brushing, it was only to be comforting and friendly nothing else. "Well yeah.... have you thought about your name yet?"He asked curiously, his tail now wrapped neatly around his paws

Nightwing will follow into corruption? What going to happen to him? Why must he change Lionkit's name. I'm going to stop this! They'll see! Swanfoot looked away sadly as Mossheart spoke again. And, knowing what must happen, tried to argue still. For the white cat would give anything to stay in the peaceful, innocent world. No death had ever laid eyes on the place, even if every dead HopeClan cat resided here. It was beautiful and prey-filled, and Lionlight was there. "I-I have to leave? Now?" Swanfoot asked, looking around. The white cat glanced sadly at Lionlight. The shadow that had covered her snowy pelt faded, leaving her eyes an unhappy, sparkling light blue. "Can't I stay a little longer?" she asked.

"I'll distract them. Run back to camp, and say you were chasing after a squirrel. I went after you, thinking that you were trying to escape. Go, now!" Antpaw whispered. He rustled the bush harshly before bursting out of it, fake-panting. "Dagger... escape... She... run back to camp..." the black cat said in between pants.

Applekit watched her father run off. He loved her. He loved her more than we ever knew. Applekit pressed her nose to her dead, and living, family's noses and trailed off after Rowanlog. Not a single one of us needs alone time right now. She found him in the warrior's den, weeping over a nest. The kit curled up behind his head, little tears streaming from her eyes.

Her eyes widened, was it really that ovious to most cats that she was taking a liking to the kit? "I was thinking of asking faithstar so i can move into the nursery..... but after today... he saw mossheart and her kits." Moontail paused for a second to look back at the small, sleeping kit "He needs someone he loves and can trust to calm him down, i was hoping I'd be able to be that cat..." Her icy gaze drifted back to swiftclaw, wondering what he'd say next

Swiftclaw/Senior Warrior/Crush: Moontail
He smiled at the she cat with soft eyes "you'd be a great mother. And mate for some tom." He said quietly looking away. Not wanting to come on too strong.

Larkpaw

She-Cat ~ 15 moons ~ Mentor: Swanfoot ~ Apprentice ~ Tags: Thornpaw

Larkpaw shook her head, tufted ears flicking. "I'm not sure what I want to be called," she said softly, soft and pale yellow eyes gleaming in the dim camp-cave. "I've decided to leave it up to Faithstar to choose my Warrior name for me. I'm sure that I'll like it, whatever it might be." Larkpaw began to look around camp, trying to spot out the apprentices who were also taking their assessments. "What's taking Antpaw and Thrushpaw so long?" she mewed quietly, obviously worried about her good friend -Antpaw- and her other best friend/crush- Thrushpaw.

Rowanlog

Tom ~ 39 moons ~ Tags: Applekit

Rowanlog perked his ears up as his daughter came up beside him. He purred louder, still crying. He was glad that Applekit understood, that she wasn't giving up on him. "Oh... Applekit..." he purred sadly between sobs. "I wish your mother was here with us... to see you and your brothers become Apprentices. I can't imagine going through life without her... her helping me and staying loyal to me. She was a part of me, like I was a part of her. I feel useless without her, I can't imagine any other cat doing what she did..."

Pepper

She-Cat ~ 41 moons ~ Kittypet ~ Tags: Redpaw, Thrushpaw

Pepper approached the young she-cat, smiling. When the she-cat didn't notice the two greeting her, and instead followed a squirrel up a tree, she flattened her ears in astonishment. She's so agile! I can't imagine ever doing that! Pepper turned her head to look over at Redpaw. "Are all cats in HopeClan able to climb up trees so swiftly like that?"

Faithstar

She-Cat ~ 44 moons ~ Leader ~ 8 lives ~ Tags: Nightwing

Faithstar nodded, looking down at the broken kit. Empathy for the little tom washed over her, tearing at her heart. She didn't wish to have to do this to the poor scrap, but she had no reason to refuse the name change. It suited him quite perfectly."When his sister and brother are granted the promotion of being 'paws, I will change his name as well," she said. "I will change it to a warrior name, and he will retire to the elder's den immediately. I think the name Deathshade suits him. What's your opinion, Nightwing?"





-Lionlight

Lionlight stepped close to Swanfoot, giving her a soft and affectionate lick on the cheek. "You should head back to reality now, Swanfoot," he whispered, green eyes shining with nothing but love for the molly. "I'm sure your clanmates are wondering where you are. Remember, I'm always with you. I'll always be there to talk with you if you ever need me."

[Whale_Shark]

Mossheart teared up looking at the snow white warrior. "Please tell Rowanlog I will always love him, and I'll be waiting..." She smiled, forcing herself to look down at Joykit and Thunderkit. "Lionkit must follow this path as Dethshade.... Nightwing needs your guidance. Please protect my family." The ginger warrior nodded before leaving, looking at her living family sadly. I am so sorry I did this to you...

Nightwing nodded. "A fitting name. A cat like him will only ever belong in the shadows." He glared at the kit out the corner of his eye looking around with dark sharp eyes. "Where is Redpaw. That lazy apprentice has been goofing off for too long, we need to get training. I will not be here for the ceremony, and I apologize. But I'm sure you will do the right choices for my sister's kits. I will return to help bury the bodies tomorrow." With that he slipped into the darkness, slithering like a snake through shadows as he went on the look out for Redpaw.

Poppythorn smiled softly nodding. "Everyone is a little tense. It's fine, common lets get back to camp. I'm sure the ceremony will be held real soon!"

Ivykit closed his eyes looking up at the stars of silverpelt. Somewhere up there was his mother, and he was going to make her proud, and become the best warrior he could. The tiny kit smiled up at her, touching her cold fur gently before going to his sister and father to comfort them, the calico surprisingly calm."

Lionkit watched in horror as all of this played out. No one cared his mother was dead, his father wouldn't stop the name change. He would never be a warrior. The tiny kit felt his small claws dig into the dirt, but he couldn't do anything. Only crawl away to his little nest, dark and cold and reeking of illness and death. He scrunched his eyes up tight, plunging himself into dreams. Dreams where he could walk and run and jump. Dreams where he slid through darkness to a thick forest, with vines and roots and mud and fog blocking out all of the stars. And for the first time, the small rust cat felt at home, accepted and truly happy.
(( Also to clarify cuz I saw it a bit back, Ivykit is mute, not blind. I was going to have him be med app. but I already have deputy, so he will just be his usual snarky self and mute and possibly killed ovo))

He shrugged, Even though they were taking longer than them he wasn't wondering too much, maybe they are having a hard time finding prey."I'm sure faithstar will make a good name for you....So w-"Thornpaw was cut off from getting a tiny waft of a familiar scent, Vinepaw..? He quickly shook it off thinking it might have been his imagination "So when do you think we'd be able to head out and take our walk?" He asked, actually finishing his sentence this time

Jaykit

"You would really do that for me" Jaykit's eyes widened and a happy smile
appeared on his face.

Moontail|She-cat|Warrior|Tags- Jaykit, Swiftclaw

The she-cat's heart began to beat heavily in her chest as she saw the joy light up in his tiny blue eyes "Of corse! I was going to ask faithstar if i could move in here with you" She bent down and touched noses with the silver furred kit. Once she pulled away she heard swiftclaw begin to speak so she turned her head around to look at him "Thanks... but i dunno about the mate thing, i don't think any toms have taken a liking to me really" Moontail shrugged before turning back to jaykit with a smile

[Carmilla Karnstein]

Swiftclaw/Senior warrior/Crush: Moontail
His heart broke at that. He was going to tell her he didn't care if it was too soon. "I do. I have for a while now." He said and turned beginning to walk away.
