Despite how much love I've shown
and the comfort in your eyes I've known...  ❁ Puresun ❁If you die, I'm all alone
despite the souls that fill my home
o o o
The only thing I need is you
but if I tell, what will you do?
I cannot help you
I will not leave you
You cannot hear me
You will not love...═══════════════════════
[I let out a sharp gasp of pain, eyes squinting in fury. Damn that Ravage! My foot was stuck in the roots- I could hear him roaring outside- I bet some cats recognized him from the Great Search for the antidote to the Madness, but some others didn't-! Shuddering, I hissed, trying to wrench my leg free. I had tried to leap out of the den as soon as I heard the roaring but my leg was caught, and now-
Suddenly, he was there.
Ravage's massive face stared down at me from the hole. I pressed to the ground of the den in fear and horror, hissing at him with wide eyes. His crimson eyes narrowed and I could see him, almost feel him deciding whether or not to kill me-
and then he snarled and lowered from the entrance, disappearing into the night.
I yowled, wrenching my leg in my struggles to break free. It wasn't broken, but definitely sprained-I hissed, spinning around and gnawing at the root.
It seemed to take forever. The roars had faded and there were agonized caterwauls wailing through camp, and the sound of many cats shuffling about.
I froze as my mother's voice rose above the others, sending orders. I desperately tried to free myself, needing to get to her- the root was almost broken-I was chewing and struggling-
and all at once it snapped and I went flying out of the den, letting out a sharp cry of pain.
I landed on the ground with a sharp thud and struggled to my feet. Guardianpaw was at my side, helping me up, and I stood, facing him with wide eyes.]
"The Slayer," I gasped. "It's Ravage- the Slayer from the Great Search for the cure of the Madness- it was him, Guardianpaw! But he was here in person, in-person!"
[I remembered my mother's stories of Ravage, who had waited in the field where the cure flowers for the Madness awaited. The cats who left to retrieve them were attacked by his and Comet's spirits as they tried to drive them away from the cure. That was the only reason the cats knew their faces- but most cats from that time had died or forgotten, or simply didn't realize it.
Guardianpaw was looking at me funny, his face bunched up.]
"Madness?" he muttered, a confused look crossing his face.
"Yes, yes!" I hissed angrily. "The Slayers are the ones who sent the Madness, and the Whispering Flowers-didn't you hear the stories?"
[When I said Flowers, however, he flinched.]
"I remember," he said suddenly. "The den-collapsing and the screams, and Thunderpaw..."
"Thunderpaw?" I asked in a confused tone, now lost in the conversation. [What in the world was he saying?]
He didn't seem to hear me as he looked at his feet and murmured, "And Leopardkit...the noise in the ground-Thunderpaw, the flowers..."
[He closed his eyes, shaking his head, but I stared at him with wide eyes. Leopardkit? There hadn't been a cat in NightClan named that recently except- Leopardstorm. I took a step back. Why would he refer to her as Leopardkit...? And Thunderpaw...was he speaking of Thunderclaw?]
"Who is Thunderpaw?" I murmured. "Thunderclaw, you mean?"
"StormClan," he said sharply, his eyelids twitching.
"Thunderflight?" I asked in disbelief.
"...yeah," he whispered, "only she was Thunderpaw, and Leopardkit...there was a den, and fighting, and snakes- the cure..."
"...do...do you mean...Leopardstorm?" I asked, feeling as if the noise around us melted into muteness.
[Something etheral was happening. It made my fur stand on end. What was Guardianpaw...?
Almost as if he realized the absurdity and ridiculousness of it himself, he raised his head with wide eyes. Except this time I almost screamed.
His eyes were the deepest crimson I've ever seen-deeper than Ravage's eyes.]
"Yes," he whispered, "Leopardstorm."
[My jaw snapped shut and I took another step back. He blinked in confusion, and his eyes returned to their normal silvery depths.
Did I imagine it? I wondered, eyes wide. Could I have-
A fluttering movement caught my eye and I turned sharply, staring at it. It was Shimmerkit, leading Silentkit gently to the medicine den so Rabbitpaw could assess their wounds.
And almost as if it was too simple for even a kit to figure out, it clicked.
Shimmerkit was the spitting image of Leopardstorm. Leopardstorm, my friend and companion whom I missed terribly. But that couldn't mean she was the bengal she-cat! I was just getting sentimental, I...
Guardianpaw slowly turned and looked at her too. His eyes narrowed in confusion.]
"Leopardkit?" he whispered in a confused voice. "What..."
[He turned back and looked at me, eyes wide.] "What happened to my camp?" he whispered in almost a kit-like voice, eyes wide with horror.
[My heart felt like someone was ripping into it, but I raised my head with half-fear and half-awe. I leaned forward, staring into his eyes. Guardianpaw was now the one to take a step back, a confused glint in his eyes.]
"Fathom," I murmured, eyes darkening. "Is that you?"
[He reacted violently. His fur stood on end suddenly and he hissed at me, eyes wide. His claws even unsheathed and I flinched, staring at him with confusion and wonder.]
"Don't speak that traitor's name," Guardianpaw hissed at me. "What prompted you to-what did you-"
[All at once, as if he had no control over himself, he twitched and suddenly looked at me without his previous anger and instead with desparation.]
"Listen to me," he growled leaning forward eagerly. [I took a step back.] "I didn't do it, Purekit, I didn't do it, it wasn't me, listen to me."
[My mouth was agape. It was Fathom, it was Fathom, it was Fathom, it was Fathom, Fathom was in Guardianpaw's body.]
"What did you do with Guardianpaw?" I whispered, eyes crinkling with worry and shock.
"I didn't kill her," he whispered to me, sad eyes staring through me.
"What?" I murmured, feeling a sleepy, almost surreal feeling come over me.
"I didn't kill her," he repeated, and I jolted, realizing who he was talking about.
"You knew all along he was inside me and now I have a second chance-"
"What-who-where is Guardianpaw?" I insisted in a low voice, glancing around to make sure nobody could hear us.
He stared at me as if he had no idea who I was talking about and insisted, "I have a second chance now."
[I stared at him with disbelief, and slowly let myself relax.
I had always been afraid of Fathom and avoided him at all costs, but now I knew why. I had seen something inside him-not him, per say, but in his body-and that thing had been Blood, that cursed spirit who'd haunted him since his birth.
Now Blood was not attached to him. ( That pleasure was now mine. ) He was free, free to be how Fathom was always supposed to be...
And he didn't even realize it. Even now, his eyes were confused as if he couldn't quite remember what he'd just said or where he was. But I knew-I could see it. The same glimmering spirit inside Guardianpaw was the former leader of NightClan-Fathom.
But he had spoken of Shimmerkit as if she was Leopardkit-Leopardstorm. Could it even be possible that Leopardstorm was here too...? The thought gave me a spark of hope, but I buried it. It wasn't my business. Really wasn't...it was theirs now. Theirs to try again at a real life.
Guardianpaw was looking around, trying to remember where he was. I figured that when son-and-father combined in one body, it probably was quite confusing. No matter. If Fathom was destined to never know his past life, then all the better for him and Leopardstorm to start anew.]
"Nevermind, Guardianpaw," I sighed as if we'd been having a normal conversation. "Just pass on my message to mother that I think the lion was Ravage. I've gotta get my wounds checked out."
[He looked at me blankly before nodding, looking a bit lost.]
"Right," he agreed, looking down. "Sure, no problem."
"And next time someone mentions the Madness or the Whispering Flowers," I added in a lower voice, "don't act like you were there. You're too ambitious for your own good-trying to think you were in past stories! How silly."
[He stared at me, and I stared right back, eyes cheerful and encouraging. He grinned a bit, chuckling.]
"S-sorry," he said softly. "I guess I get ahead of myself. Well-I'm supposed to be on patrol so...see ya. Take care."
[I watched him walk away, looking as if he'd taken a blow to the head, and sighed.
Perhaps I was just as insane as Blood was. But if I was right, then I'd do everything I could to ensure that Fathom-er, Guardianpaw- and Leo-er, Shimmerkit- would be happy.
This time.
I limped into the medicine den, glancing at Rabbitpaw with a sheepish grin.]
"Sorry to add to your workload," I meowed, "but I think I sprained my ankle on a root."
(( nooooobody heard them. OK? NOBODY. :0 ))

 ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗Rabbitpaw :: Medicine Cat Apprentice :: NightClan :: A stoic, yet snappy tom.
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝____________________________________________________________________________________________[Rabbitpaw nodded slightly to Willowheart. "I'll leave you to that then," he meowed as he grew aware of another presence in the den. He looked over his shoulder, listening to Puresun quietly. He nodded once. "Er, yeah. I'll tend to that," he said, going back to the medicine store. He rolled his eyes slightly, snorting. The Clan was in shambles and she had sprained her ankle, and on a root of all things? He snickered, grabbing some goldenrod from the pile. He twitched his ears for a moment, trying to think. Goldenrod...for aching joints, correct? He shrugged. It sounded right. He quickly began to chew the leaves. He thought for a moment. This....it would be good for his paw too, since there weren't any poppy seeds left. He nodded thoughtfully, limping back to Puresun. "Schtik ur awl ou'" [stick your paw out] he muttered around the poultice. He sat back on his haunches, spitting the bitter substance on his good paw. He looked over his shoulder, his eyes flickering to the gray she-cat who was supposed to be tending to Robinpaw. He called out behind him. "Hey Willowheart, how ya makin' out over there?" he asked, rasping his tongue across his teeth in distaste. Goldenrod, certainly not the tastiest herb. He looked back at Puresun once more, focusing on her leg. He bent forward, smearing the goldenrod on. "Er, Goldenrod'll make it stop aching," he meowed. "You'll probably have to take it easy for a few days. Don't be prancing around, and it'll get better. Have me check up on it if it starts hurting too bad," he meowed, sitting back up. He padded back to the medicine store in the back, gathering more Goldenrod and began applying it to his own paw. He blinked curiously. It wasn't as helpful as poppy seeds, but it worked.____________________________________________________________________________________________Don't screw with me.....you won't like the result.

[My thoughts wandered back to Guardianpaw and Shimmerkit as he muttered something, my mind to far in the distance to listen. I murmured softly in agreement as he applied some herb to my leg, eyes clouded with worry.
I snapped back to reality as he advised me to keep off the leg. I nodded, a tentative grin on my face.]
"Sorry," I added again, lowering my eyes. "I was waiting in Lavenderstar's den when it happened and I tried to jump out too quickly. The root really wrenched my foot. I'll try to be more careful next time."
[I looked around a bit confusedly, twitching my tail.]
"If you need any help," I began cautiously, staring at him intently, "with, you know, patients, I'll be glad to help. Seems like you're short on help around here anyway, with cats having to rebuild dens and all the herbs scattered..."
[I blinked innocently at him, but in truth, I was worried about where Hauntedheart was. If she was anywhere in NightClan, she would have heard all the yowling.
So why wasn't she here?
For now, I offered to help because of my guilty conscience of how much trouble I'd be in. Might as well get in as many good graces as I could before I shocked the Clan with my dirty little secret.
But I was very worried about Hauntedheart, too. Had Ravage harmed her?]
(( By the way, only cats old enough to have been alive since the beginning of the guild can remember Ravage distinctly. I believe Purefun's seen him once before, and only briefly at that. Plus nursery stories...so new cats can only vaguely think of him as that big cat from the story. :0 ))

He looked at her and waited for her to ask about his mistake in starting to speak and not finishing it, but she just, let it go? Yes! Rainpaw's mind jumped for joy, he wouldn't have to tell her what she didn't want to hear! He smiled and looked at her] "What? Oh yeah.... It's clean now" [Rainpaw meowed, placing his paw back onto the ground. He looked around and swiped his paw back and forth in the dust. This, paw swiping, wasn't normal for him, he was worried about his adopted mother. He just hoped it didn't show] "So... We should probably go and clean up or fix the dens then" [Rainpaw meowed slowly, standing up. He poked Sunpaw in the shoulder with his tail and poked Envypaw with his paw as he padded back to Starkcloud to resume his fixing. He had made up his mind, he would ask Lavenderstar. No, her and Hauntedheart didn't seem to get along. He would ask... Eaglesoar? Maybe. As Rainpaw resumed his work, he thought about who he could ask about her whereabouts.] ۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩۩

╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗Rabbitpaw :: Medicine Cat Apprentice :: NightClan :: Tom
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝____________________________________________________________________________________________[I blinked boredly as Puresun explained her injury. I snorted softly to myself, mentally shaking my head. Funny. I didn't recall asking for justification. Still, I nodded thoughtfully.] "See, I see," [I muttered. I continued to smear the goldenrod on my crippled paw until it was evenly coated. The aching was easing off, but not much. Whatever. I hadn't expected it to miraculously make all of the pain go away, after all.
What Puresun said next made my ears flicker in annoyance. I thought angrily to myself for a moment. What did she mean?! Although I was merely an apprentice, I was pretty capable of healing the Clan. It wasn't the job of a warrior. I held back my sharp retort though. If I retorted to this particular cat, then I would have the possibility of having not only my second paw crippled, I just might have Lavenderstar on my tail. Maybe. I blinked, nodding briskly.] "Er, yeah. Hauntedheart went out to look for poppy seeds and hasn't come back yet, so I haven't the faintest idea when she'll get back. Help would probably helpful, I suppose," [I meowed. I quickly surveyed the state of the den. The other three sick nests were in shreds, scattered across the floor.] "Er, for now, you can make three new nests, since there's a possibility of having more cats in here. I'll see what herbs we need to restock on." [With that, I quickly grabbed fresh moss from the back of the den and set it in front of the warrior. I stifled a yawn, casting a wary glance to Willowheart and Robinpaw. My eyes returned to the messy piles of herbs. I sat down and began resorting the herbs. I yawned again, and shook my head.]____________________________________________________________________________________________Don't screw with me.....you won't like the result.

@Ana: Did you see Foxfur's reply on the previous page? ^.^]
[Willowheart looked down intently at Rabbitpaw, green eyes bright. The she-warrior needed to get everything right, or she could possibly screw up the apprentice's leg for the rest of his life. The thought chilled her heart. Mentally, she ran over the steps once again, then nodded. Bending down, Willowheart placed one grey paw on the apprentice's shoulder, then placed the other on his ankle. Taking a deep breath, the she-warrior gently grabbed his leg in her strong jaws. Pausing for a moment, Willowheart told herself to just relax and breathe. If she was too nervous, she was more likely to do something wrong. Jerking her head back, Willowheart tugged on Robinpaw's leg, hearing a pop. Pulling back, the she-warrior looked over at Rabbitpaw, extremely worried

[Eaglesoar growled playfully as he gave Tigerfang a light cheek-butt (is that even a word?). He blinked and pulled away when her tongue rasped over a particularly painful spot, although he was too proud to show that it hurt. Being the proud Nightclan tom that he is, he would never admit that he was in pain even if all four of his limbs were chopped off. He turned his head and glanced at Rabbitpaw, he was still busy but Tigerfang's face wound looked horrendous, plus her chest looked a little...odd, as if something was sticking out.]
"Right, you need to see Rabbitpaw. Now."
[He said as he half dragged Tigerfang to the medicine cat den, he won't take no for an answer even if she tried to refuse. The den was crowded, and filled with injured cats, but he was sure that Rabbitpaw could spare a moment.]

╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗Rabbitpaw :: Medicine Cat Apprentice :: NightClan :: Tom
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝____________________________________________________________________________________________[I looked up from the messy assortment of herbs [or what was left of them] and over to Willowheart as a chilling pop resounded through the den. I shuddered slightly. The sound of bone grinding on bone was enough to make me and probably any cat lose their lunch. Nonetheless, I held in a gag, and padded over to inspect Robinpaw's leg. I sniffed it, and ran my paw down it, checking for any jagged bumps. It had already began to swell. I blinked in alarm, and padded back to the messy piles of herbs. I sifted through one pile. Comfry....that promoted the mending of broken bones, right? Yeah, I was sure of it. I grabbed a few leaves in my jaws, grabbed a reed and cowebs, and padded back to the patient, laying out my catch. I quickly began to chew up the comfry, but paused, chewing a little slower. I quickly spat it into my paw, rasping my tongue along my teeth in disgust.] "Ugh, that tastes horrid!" [I muttered in disgust. Honestly, it astounded me that Hauntedheart still even had working tastebuds! I continued my work, eventually putting Robinpaw's leg in a splint. I nodded slightly.] "There, that'll last at least until Hauntedheart comes back. We'll have her check on it then," [I meowed, half to myself. I smirked slightly. The 'spending time in the medicine cat den while still a kit' thing actually had its benefits. I had no idea that I had known that much about what the herbs were for! I smiled proudly for a moment before it faded into a stoic, almost bored look. Right, there were still others around. It wasn't the time to be celebrating.
My eyes glanced around the now busy den, my gray eyes stopping on a pair at the entrance. I blinked. Yeah, it was Eaglesoar...and that other supposed warrior of NightClan. I eyed her warily, padding closer to examine her. The face wound was still bleeding a little, but that area was mostly sticky and messy with the slowly drying fluid. I looked at her paws for a moment, moving up. My eyes paused at an area near her chest. It was more near her side, which was shaped oddly. It was almost lumpy. I blinked in realization. This was bad.
I turned to Eaglesoar for a moment, nodding swiftly.] "I'm treating your she-friend first," [I told him quickly, limping quickly to the tabby warrior. I prodded her side hard with my nose. I felt a small movement, one that confirmed my fears. Her rib was broken.
I blinked, trying to think. Had Hauntedheart ever specified what to do in the case of a broken rib? No, not that I could remember. Although I had heard that it could be dangerous. The rib could hit something important and make the cat bleed to death, so you had to be careful. I breathed out a few times, and looked at the dark tabby.] "Okay you, you're going to have to lay down on your good side until Hauntedheart comes back, since I don't know how to deal with ribs. Until then, I'll treat your face." [I meowed. I padded to the back, grabbing more cobwebs. I hobbled back quickly, and started dressing her facial wound.]____________________________________________________________________________________________Don't screw with me.....you won't like the result.

[I frowned slightly, slightly annoyed with Foxfur's response. I stopped walking. That was what had been getting him down? Really? I blinked though. I could understand somewhat, since he was a deputy, but still! Who did he think he was, some StarClan cat? A whispy sigh escaped my muzzle, and I nudged the tom with my muzzle.] "Hey, you can't let yourself down like that. Of course you can't stop this all by yourself, so don't think of youself so lowly and helpless." [I meowed.] "Whatever that StarClan-forsaken thing that dared to tread on our hunting grounds, our hunting grounds, no lone cat will be able to stop it. That's a given," [I meowed, pausing for a moment. I coughed slightly, and continued.] "But, that is why we are a Clan. We work together. We hunt for each other, protect our future generation of warriors together, and we fight together. This is because there is strength in numbers, and with those numbers, our friends, we will be able to slay that...that thing. We will succeed." I finished, my eyes full of determination. I blinked, looking down at my paws. To my surprise, my claws were unsheathed, sunk in the ground. I shook myself once, letting my fluffed up fur lie flat once more. I nodded once. It was funny, my words had even gotten me riled up about it. I blinked, looking at Foxfur once more.

[Tigerfang blinked as she felt herself being dragged to the medicine cat den! No! Other warriors needed help, she could wait! She kicked and struggled as hard as she could, but considering how weak she was, it wasn't much.]
"N-No..." she managed to get out. "I-I don't--"
[But she could get the rest out as a stream of blood forced its way up her throat. She could only get a few chokes out, and she tried to wipe away some of the blood that was escaping from her mouth.]
Why are you being so weak?! Get up and walk yourself!! she scolded herself, struggling yet again to try to walk on her own.
[But she couldn't do anything as she laid down on the side that was less painful and tried to take a deep breath. All she could do was choke and splutter, and resorted to only taking quick, shallow breaths. She didn't say anything as her face wound was treated by Rabbitpaw, not even a slight wince.]

Despite how much love I've shown
and the comfort in your eyes I've known... ❁ Puresun ❁If you die, I'm all alone
despite the souls that fill my home
o o o
The only thing I need is you
but if I tell, what will you do?
I cannot help you
I will not leave you
You cannot hear me
You will not love...═══════════════════════
[I nodded to Rabbitpaw and quickly turned, making the nests with as much care as I could. My thoughts wandered a bit to everything the Clan had to face now. Was this really a good time to confess what I'd done?!
It seemed like everything was going wrong now. I knew most cats would be horrified at my secret, and that it wouldn't go as well now that everyone was agitated. Perhaps I should wait...
NO! What would happen if I waited, then? It would become even more of a secret. I had to do it soon before it looked like I had kept it for a very long time.
I sighed, finishing the nests nicely. I turned to Rabbitpaw, noticing Tigerfang and Eaglesoar had arrived. I purred to myself, amused that they had waited so long to be treated.
At Rabbitpaw's mention of a broken rib, however, I froze.
Fear struck my heart. Where was Hauntedheart?! Tigerfang could be in serious trouble!
I padded up to her, gently nudging her back down as she tried to get up.]
"No, you need to stay and rest," I murmured to her, eyes worried. "If you move too much, the rib could injure something inside and make you bleed. For now, resting is the best way you can serve your Clan, so lay down and try to take even breaths."
[I looked up at Eaglesoar, blinking calmly.]
"You're going to need to stay with her and make sure she doesn't get back up," I told him. "Please help her stay calm. She needs you right now."
[I blinked at the tom again, wondering offhandedly if he'd listen. He was always one to do what his Clan needed, but right now Tigerfang needed him...
I turned and glanced at Rabbitpaw, eyes remorseful. So many bad things were going on. My own stupid secret weighed down on me, and I felt overwhelmed.]
"Is there anything else you need?" I asked softly, eyes drooping with regret and unhappiness.
[At least helping Rabbitpaw helped get those thoughts out of my mind.]
═══════════════════════ ...six of sin with you now roam
will you guide them to their home?
I can only pray you do
before I confess it all.
Let me keep one thing near;
the heart that bonds us, my dear
o o o
For if I sleep at end of day
I find your shadow fades away ...I cannot sleep in fear of how
the darkness holds two shadows now.

"I'll protect you until my last breath, and forevermore!" ♋ G υ α я ɖ ɨ α и p α w ♋ "Memory is the treasury
and guardian of all things."_______________________________________________ [Guardianpaw quickly padded after the patrol, feeling furious that he was late in following them. Stupid Puresun made him late!
But he had a feeling something important had happened...what was it? All he could remember was her telling him that the lion-thing was Ravage. Maybe that'd mean something to Lavenderstar?
He quickly caught up with the patrol, pushing past Foxfur and dashing over to Lavenderstar.]
"Sorry to interupt," he panted, "but Puresun wanted to me to tell you that the lion was Ravage. The Star Slayer, or something. She was in your den and got her leg stuck in a root and he approached it and was looking for you so he could kill you but found her instead. She's fine-he ran off after that, but she wanted me to tell you..."
[He took a deep breath, letting it out with a whooshing sigh. He blinked at her with glazed silver eyes, as if he was confused about something. He shook his head and waited for her response, shifting on his feet.]
_______________________________________________ I will repent for what I've done to you
my love, and we shall live anew

Will you stand up and take your chance?XXX  "Chaos arises, blood will be spilt..."[Lavenderstar stared troubledly at her paws for a moment, before padding ahead of Foxfur. Whatever that thing had been, it could come back. If it did, then they would be in serious trouble. She ran through plans quickly in her head. She would have to have warriors on constant guard for the camp, at least three patrols per day to check for signs of the beast as well as prey, since the fresh-kill pile was officially wiped out, the nursery would probably have to be moved to a higher point in the great Tree so the kits would be protected, and something would definitely have to be done about the apprentices. They would have to stick with their mentors-
Lavenderstar's thoughts were derailed by Guardianpaw as he called the leader out. She looked down at him and was about to ask what he wanted when her breath froze in her throat. That name, it sent a thorn of fear burning into her chest. Ravage had been the one that attacked? She hissed, her fur bristling. The Star Slayers were back? And the worst part, they were after her? She blinked, her eyes glancing hollowly back at the camp. She was putting her whole Clan in danger! She looked back at Guardianpaw with a calm facade.] "Guardianpaw, you said that Puresun is safe, correct?" [she asked slowly. Her tail twitching was the only thing that betrayed her true nervousness. This was the last thing that she wanted to deal with! They had just solved the fox problem, after all! The foxes were pretty bad; there was a scarily high chance that this was going to be a lot worse.
Lavenderstar whipped her head around, staring at the rest of the patrol.] "My warriors, we must head back. I must discuss this situation with my senior warriors," [she meowed briskly. She signalled for the patrol to head back. Her ears flickered, trying to focus on any possible sounds still echoing in the forest. She couldn't detect anything. No alarm calls, no birds, and not the shuffling and scratching made by mice. It chilled the leader, making her shiver a little.
Lavenderstar entered the camp once more, glancing around quickly. Warriors. She ran through a list in her head. Eaglesoar and Foxfur definitely, Willowheart, Poisonpetal, and Puresun too, since she is already aware of the news. I should probably call Mudnose in too, she's been a warrior for awhile too, she thought quickly. She nodded her head once and turned to Foxfur.] "Foxfur, gather Eaglesoar, Mudnose, Puresun, Willowheart, and Poisonpetal, and you should all meet me in my den," [she meowed quickly. She quickly scaled the tree, slinking into her own den. She paused, shivering slightly. The stench of that beast Ravage filled the den; the stench of decay. She shook her head and padded closer to her nest, stumbling over a mangled root. She hissed slightly, and sat down, waiting for the others.]
[ooc:] I quoted everyone that's involved in the meeting below. "...Will you take your place with me?" ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀

[I flinched as my name was called, turning abruptly with fear. I quickly let my fur lie flat, realizing I had overreacted to my mother's voice, and shifted on my feet uncomfortably.]
"Sorry Rabbitpaw," I murmured quickly. "I'll be back later."
[I padded out of the medicine den, following the crowd of cats to my mother's den in the hole of the tree. And thank goodness it was a big hole! The Great tree wasn't called that for nothing...
I jumped up, following suit, and sat uncomfortably near the entrance, wishing I wasn't involved in this. I watched as Guardianpaw padded into camp, his sides still heaving from dashing to tell Lavenderstar and running back.
He hissed in frustration but joined the other warriors in re-building the nests, eyes narrowed with frustration and worry. His claws unsheathed and sunk into the ground, scraping around restlessly. He probably wishes he could do more to help, I thought. He's more of a fighter...he must wish he had been here to fight Ravage.
I returned my attention to the group that gathered, trying to avoid eye contact with my mother. This was much too sudden for me, and I'd rather continue working for my Clan before they banished me for deceiving them!]
