NightClan RP (Book 5!)|

[i hope dawn never comes.]

Wildflower carefully set down her son's body in the heart of NightClan camp, vigil would be very soon.

[~*WOLFIE*~]

((NO! NOT BROWNFUR! Poor thing... Such a horrible way to die; drowning in a river... ))

[Lawl[iet]]

Petalfall's head came above the water for just a moment, and she immediateley spotted Mysterysong on the bank. "Mystery..." she murmured before sinking into the icy deapths once more.

Oakwing had seen Mysterysong leave camp, so he decided to follow her. No cat should be wanderiing the forest alone these days. He saw her on the bank with Borwnfur, who was wet and unmoving. He was about to yowl for help when a strong scent reached his nose. It was a sharp, horrible smell, and he followed it to its source. The scent got stronger, and he knew exactly what it was when he felt something wet and sticky beneath his paws. Blood was oozing steadily from a small cave in an old tree, and inside a was a navy-pelted cat. "Hey," Oakwing meowed. "Come on out. I'll take you back to camp to get fixed up, okay?" When the cat didn't move, he poked his head inside and carefully gripped the cat's leg in his jaws. "Come on!" he meowed, pulling the cat carefully out of the tree. What Oakwing saw next shocked him most of all; it was the body of Wetfur. One of NightClan's newest warriors had been murdered.

Gypsy ran out of her house, jumping over the fence quickly as a strange twoleg came and threw a flower pot at her. She jumped down from the top of the fence, licking her ruffled fur as she looked down at her purple collar. She looked around, heading towards the woods then for some better life.

Mysterysong's head shot up. Someone had just said her name. Tasting the air, the black she-cat discovered that Oakwing was nearby. Mysterysong gently carried Brownfur's body to a bush and hid it from view. She then followed Oakfur's scent that led her near a hole in a tree. "Oakwing?" She meowed as she padded closer. "Did you just call me?" Her eyes widened when she saw Oakfur by Wetfur's dead body. "Y-you.. you killed him?" Her claws shot out instinctively. Moon had murdured a NightClan cat, who was to say that she wasn't alone?

[Lawl[iet]]

"WHAT?!" Okawing turned glanced over his shoulder to see Mysterysong looking at him with a horrified look in her eyes. "N-no! You've got it all wrong! You see, I-" The cat stopped. There was no way that he could explain this. He'd lived in the Tribe before coming to the Clans, how could these cats ever trust him?

[Golden]

"You what?" Snarled Mysterysong. Now her claws dug into the ground and her paws were wet from the earth's moisture. "You had better explain now." Her tail lashed through the air. She had trusted Oakwing! Then again, she had trusted Moon too. And then she had betrayed the Clan by killing Kitepaw. Was there really this fine of a line between disloyalty and survival? Mysterysong could feel a slight change in the atmosphere. NightClan was different now. Or at least she was.

[~*WOLFIE*~]

Dewwing stretched out in the fading sun. She soon curled up and closed her eyes and fell asleep. She dreamt that she was in hot persuit of a plump mouse. It hopped through tall grass and skittered under low branches with the she-cat right on its tail. Just a little closer. she thought as the mouse turned sharply right before a large clump of tall grass. Dewwing wasn't as fast and nimble as the small mouse and she skidded into the grass. "Mouse doung." she spat quietly. Standing up and shaking off, Dewwing turned around, ready to hunt some more when she smelled something. Opening her mouth, shexz knew what it was; fresh blood. Padding slowly through the tall grass, she came to a small clearing. Spots of blood covered some of the bright green grass in the tree-surrounded spot. A black cat sat in the middle of the clearing; just staring. She was also covered in spots of blood. "Wolfstar!" Dewwing yowled excitedly, running up to her past leader. "I've missed you so much! What happened? Are you alright?" Wolfstar nuzzled the she-cat and flicked her tail, motioning for her to be silent. "I'm alright. Please, I don't have much time. I need to tell you something, Dewwing." The warrior sat down and bowed her head to the StarClan cat. Then Wolfstar spoke. "Thunder will return to the night sky and steal away a bright star." Dewwing didn't understand this prophecy, but she nodded her head anyway. "Thank you, Wolfstar." The StarClan cat bowed her head, closed her eyes and faded away. Dewwing looked at the pools of blood surrounding her. One of her paws was even soaked in blood now. She shook some off and sat down to lick it. Suddenly, a crack of thunder roared across the darkened sky and the she-cat looked up. A few streaks of lightning lit up the sky only a couple heartbeats after that. She wasn't sure, but Dewwing thought that she saw a figure in one of the trees that surrounded the clearing. Another streak of lightning appeared and Dewwing looked up into the tree to see an evil smile across his face, two menicing yellow eyes, a long scar that pierced his right one and white paws that were bloodstained. "Thunderscar?!" Dewwing said, shocked. Her eyes opened and she was back in the NightClan camp under the fading sun. "No. Thunderscar is...is dead. Yeah. He died after fleeing NightClan. He can't return." The she-cat shook her head in denial. "He can't."

((Ok, two things. First; the prophecy means that Thunderscar (thunder) will return to NightClan (the night sky) and take away a life (steal away) from Ghoststar (a bright star). I wasn't sure if he would take one of Ghoststar's lives, so if he's not, just let me know and I'll change it. And second; Dewwing doesn't know anything about Thunderscar getting a "make over" and becoming Mello. She doesn't suspect anything, but she is one of those cats that will not trust Mello. I just thought that it would be cool for Dewwing to actually see Thunderscar in her dream so she could watch out for him. When Mello comes, the first thing she notices is his blue eyes and thinks It can't be him. Thunderscar has yellow eyes. Again, she doesn't suspect a thing. ))

[Lawl[iet]]

((Great prophecy, Wolfie! And Mello is in NightClan territory, but no one knows yet. The blood that Brownfur and Petalfall saw before they drowned was Mell washing himself off after killing Wetfur. If you want, go look at the prophecy Ghoststar recived when he was made leader.))

Oakwing backed up into the hole, his ears flattened in fear. There was no way that he could get himself out of this. The tom made a risky move and knocked Mysterysong out of the waHe took one look back and ran towards camp with blinding speed. "Feather!" he meowed. "Feather!"

Feather looked around after hearing a cat call her name. She saw Oakwing dash through the camp entrance and run to her side. "What happened to you?" she meowed in shock, seeing the blood on his paws.

"I can't explain now, but If anyone tells you that I killed Wetfur, it's a lie. I have to get out of here, so if someone tries to track me down, lead them away from my trail. I'll cross the river and never come back." Oakwing's breathing was heavy after he spoke briefly with Feather.

[~*WOLFIE*~]

((Ok, I read the prophecy. I get it. And after going and reading Ghoststar getting his lives, I had completely forgotten about Silvertooth! My poor wolf!))

[~*WOLFIE*~]

((Sorry for double posting, but I was just thinking; I would love to continue playing Silvertooth. Could she help Foxwhisper sometimes too, like she helped Brownfur after Waterstep died?))

[Golden]

Without a second of hesitation Mysterysong dashed after Oakwing. Why wouldn't he just explain? Unless he really did kill him. Mysterysong tried to stay hopeful as she ran after the fleeing warrior but with each pawstep it grew harder. She ran into the NightClan camp and blocked the entrance in case he tried to escape. "Dreamwhisper, Leopardnose, get over here." She knew her voice sounded gruff but she couldn't worry about that then. She could see her kits giving each other confused glances before they joined her by the entrance.

"What's going on?" Dreamwhisper asked immediately. Something was obviously wrong.
"Oakwing may have just killed Wetfur. I saw him with his dead body but he ran away before he explained what had happened. We just need him to tell the truth to us before making any accusations," Mysterywong's voice was hushed so only Leopardnose and Dreamwhisper could hear. They stiffened and unsheathed their claws, looking sad, confused, and frightened. They didn't want to turn against their own Clanmate, but if Oakwing had killed Wetfur they had no choice. He could be a traitor.

"Oakwing," Mysterywong's voice was louder now, rougher. Before she spoke again she calmed herself down, hoping it would encourage Oakwing to reply. "just tell me what happened. I don't want to hurt you. I just need you to tell me if you did it or not. Please. Was it you?"

[Lawl[iet]]

((I'd be okay with that Wolfie. And even after Oak explains himself, can the others still be suspicious of him?))

Oakwing backed up at the sound of another cats' voice. Feather decided to step away to give him some room to explain. He saw that is was Mysterysong again. "No! I didn't do it!" he meowed. "I was coming out to the river because I saw you go by yourself, and wanted to make sure that you were okay. I scented blook, followed the trail, and found Wetfur's body." The tom sighed, and laid down. Feather padded to his side and comfortingly licked his shoulder.

[Golden]

Mysterysong relaxed and sheathed her claws. But Dreamwhisper who still stood rigid at her side was obviously not convinced that Oakwing was telling the truth.
"We had better bring this up with Ghoststar immediately, whether or not you're telling the truth. He needs to know that Wetfur is joining StarClan tonight."
"Brownfur, too." Leopardnose added mournfully.
"Brownfur too." Dreamwhisper echoed.
"Yes, we should do that now. Is he here?"
"I will see," The brown and white she-cat told her mother. "I'll go look for him." She stepped around Mysterysong and padded over to the leader's den. "Ghoststar? Are you in there?"

Mysterysong slowly walked closer to Oakwing, her eyes gentle and begging him to trust her. "I believe you," she murmured, "and I am sure I am not the only one."

((Do you want her to go find Petalfall's body, maybe washed up onto the ground somewhere?))

[Lawl[iet]]

((Yeah. When they go to find Brownfur's body, they find Petal's too. Can Oak go to get Brownfur's body?))

"Hold on," Oakwing stopped in his tracks. "D-did you say Brownfur? Brownfur has joined StarClan?!"

Ghoststar raised his head from a short nap and shook his head. "Yes, come in," he meowed, getting up to stretch.

Feather padded up to Oakwing's side and laid her tail over his shoulders. "I'm afraid so," she mewed. "I overheard your conversation as I walked up here. I'll go and get Wetfur's body, If that's okay."

Oakwing sank to his paws and buried his face in the dust. He wanted to wail, but nothing came out of his throat.

[Golden]

((Sure!))

"Sorry," Dreamwhisper murmured when she saw her leader had been asleep. "I don't mean to disturb you, but another cat - well, more then one - has joined StarClan. Mysterysong went to the river this morning and found that Brownfur had drowned. And Oakwing," she forced herself to say it, "found Wetfur's body in the forest as well. We are going to go bring them back to camp, if that is okay."

Mysterysong could only nod to Oakwing while Feather explained. Her voice wouldn't come.

[we can LIGHT(y) up the sky(:]

((I would love if Silvertooth would help me!
Does anyone else need me?))

Foxwhisper stretched and stood slowly. Was it dawn or dusk? He couldn't tell. Light blinded him as he walked out of his warm den, and he could taste the humidity in the air.
"Mysterysong?" Foxwhisper meowed, "What's going on? Where is everyone?"

"Mysterysong?" Foxwhisper meowed, "What's going on? Where is everyone?"

Mysterysong forced the words out of her stinging throat. After everything had seemed to be going right, three cats in two days died. "I found Brownfur's body by the river this morning. She must have drowned when it flooded. And Oakwing found Wetfur. We will go retrieve their bodies soon." Her sentences were short and to the point. She knew that she sounded anti-social, but at the time she couldn't help it.
It took a moment for it to sink in that she was talking to Foxwhisper, Brownfur's apprentice. The new medicine cat.


((She doesn't know Petalfall is dead yet. They haven't found her body. The third cat is Kitepaw, Wildlfower's kit, that Moon killed. Moon isn't in NightClan anymore.))

[we can LIGHT(y) up the sky(:]

For the first time in his life, Foxwhisper's eyes flooded with tears.
"No," he whispered, "Where is she! Take me to her! She wouldn't have died if I wasn't so lazy. I could have saved her..." He collapsed to the ground, body shaking furiously.
