 D u s k p a w(( @Princess: Lol. Ah, poor Birdsong. XD Well, I don't think he'll mind if this one here drags over another dead body. XD ))
“Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.”_____________________________[Duskpaw bent down and bit into Berryblaze's cold, bloody scruff, a wave of sorrow washing over as she struggled to drag the tom's corpse over to where Birdsong had placed Willowstar's. She gently lied Berryblaze next to Willowstar, looking up at Birdsong and Jaywing.]
“I thought it'd be good to mourn for them together...After all, they knew each other for so long...”
[She mewed, almost whispered as her throat felt choked with remorse. Duskpaw lied down beside Berryblaze and buried her nose in his bloody scruff, which had begun to dry and spike out. She didn't flinch as Icepaw woke and pelted for Cometstream. Duskpaw could care less. She knew that the newcomer would probably not kill the medicine cat apprentice, so there was nothing to worry about. Duskpaw winced, knowing that Berryblaze, watching from StarClan, was probably seething rage as he saw that nobody had bothered in stopping his apprentice.]

 Dewburst
[Dewburst padded forward despite Birdsong's words.
He padded up to the two cats and looked at them solemnly.
Then he settled himself beside them.
Although his eyes were wide with kit-like innocence some strong emotion blazed dully from behind their shine.
He looked down again his face scrunched up with pain.]
"I can't remember who they are. So why does it hurt?" he asked eyes full of anguish as he looked up at everyone through cloudy eyes.

I might be easy to fall for...
"Of course, Duskpaw." The grey tom mewed softly. He moved closer to Birdsong, seeing this as a chance to get closer to a pretty she-cat. Mourn and sorrow radiated from their pelts. Jaywing raised his head and looked around, searching for a pretty calico pelt. Where is Rosewind? He felt a pang of regret stab him like a thorn. Why didn't I make my move when I had the chance?
((the stupid image keeps showing up too big! Gosh! I'll just keep it off for now...))
...but I need someone to knock me head over heels.

D u s k p a w(( @Princess: Speaking of Birdsong, where is she? o__O And lol at the image size thing. XD
Brb, I have to do some stuff... ))
“Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.”_____________________________ “Dewburst...” [Duskpaw began, lifting her face from Berryblaze's scruff and looking over to the dazed gray tabby.] “They were your leader and medicine cat, Willowstar and Berryblaze...You miss them because...even though you were...sick, Willowstar ordered for no one to harm you, and Berryblaze made sure of that...It hurts because...you never had the chance to thank them.”
[Duskpaw felt like the words were being clawed out of her throat. It hurt too much to speak. She inhaled a shaky breath, her olive-gold eyes dropping to Willowstar's pelt, then Berryblaze. How would BreezeClan ever survive without them, she wondered.]

I might be easy to fall for...
Jaywing silently nodded his head, in acknowledgement of Duskpaw's kind words to Dewburst. He remained by Birdsong's side. Their pelts touched and she didn't stir. Jaywing would have usually taken that as a sign to edge closer, but with Birdsong's calico body supressing so much stress, he knew she didn't even care.
...but I need someone to knock me head over heels.
((Oh boy, you mean Rosewind? She's lingering on the sidelines, waiting for the moment to rush to Owltalon's side...lol))

Dewburst
[His eyes filled with dismay.
He bent his head to both cats' pelts and sniffed deeply.
The scents were oddly familiar so why couldn't he remember them?
He took another deep sniff and recognition dogged at his mind.
Jumping up he looked down at both of them, sadness glazing his eyes.]
"Oh Willowstar.. Berryblaze... What will we ever do without you?"
[Thinking that the group must still think he's Mad, he added...]
"Duskpaw, Birdsong, Owltalon, Jaywing, Cloverpaw.. I remember you now." he mewed quietly.
[Closing his eyes and not opening them him whispered...]
"I remember everything.."

 Spadekit
"Perfection is impossible. Loyalty is not." ___________________________
[Spadekit pressed close with her kin, watching the tabby's move. Cometstream turned, getting a blow from the infected cat, put pinning the apprentice down, keeping the infected cat's paws underneath her belly, so as not to attack anyone else. The tabby looked over at Spadekit.] "You there. Can you move?" [Spadekit tried to get to her paws, succeeding.] "Good. do you know what poppy seeds look like?" [Spadekit nodded.] "Yes." [Cometstream huffed in an effort to keep the struggling apprentice down.] "Good. Please, could you fetch me a small bundle of them? And hustle, if you could." [Spadekit nodded, limped over quickly to the den, rushing back out with poppy seeds. She limped over to Cometstream and set them down, waiting to hear what to do next.] "Good. Now i need you to put the seeds in this cat's mouth. They'll calm her down for a bit. Once i pry open her mouth, get them in. Be careful, i don't want her to bite you." [Spadekit nodded, and waited until Cometstream pried open Icepaw's mouth before pushing the seeds in. Cometstream and Spadekit pushed down on Icepaw's muzzle so she would swallow them. Cometstream gazed down upon Spadekit, her silver eyes glowing.] "Loyal, follows orders...good traits in a cat. " [Cometstream looked back to Owltalon.] "I used to be Breezeclan medicine cat. I lived here for a couple seasons, during the rule of Dewstar. After the incident where Doveflight left, i sort of followed. Starclan set my paws in another direction." [Spadekit froze. Constantly, she had heard Doveflight say she had been kidnapped. Was that a lie? She looked up at Cometstream, studying the gash over the left side of her face. Deep, it would appear as a nasty scar for a long time.] "E-Excuse me....Cometstream.....what happened to....Doveflight?" [Cometstream's smile faded.] "I'll tell you after this whole mess gets sorted out." Like THAT would ever happen.
(Sooo sorry, i was gone all day long! But i made a speedpaint with Dewstar and Dicekit, plus a bunch of events, including some that happened here. That features Spadekit, Dicekit, Stripedkit, Doveflight's insanity, and last but not least, An encounter between Dewstar and Cometstream! I'd appreciate it if you all looked at it sometime, i really worked hard on this. ✗ F R A G M E N T S ✗)

D u s k p a w“Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.”___________________________ [Duskpaw watched Cometstream swiftly and calmely handle the situation with Icepaw with the help of Spadekit. Her eyes went blank; no emotion sparkled within the olive-gold depths, even though her heart blazed envy as she watched the tabby she-cat praise the mottled kit. Her claws flexed out, snagging the earth beneath, crushing, tearing, wrenching it, as if it were another poor cat's throat.]
Why Spadekit? She's only a kit...I could've...I...
[She had to bite back a snarl. Lucky for her, the body of Berryblaze blocked the view of her forepaws. Regardless, the apprentice sheathed her claws, stood up and padded over to Dewburst, her eyes shimmering with just a sliver of sadness. She forced herself to smile.]
“Come, Dewburst...You should rest.”
[Duskpaw flicked her tail towards the medicine cat's den and took a pawstep towards it, indicating for the Mad tom to follow. She only wondered if Dewburst still remembered that they had to sit vigil for Willowstar and Berryblaze...]

 O w l t a l o n“Belief is not a matter of choice, but of conviction.”____________________________[Impressed, Owltalon twitched his tail-tip. His wide eyes missed nothing. This she-cat was efficient, dangerous, resourceful--something every medicine cat should be. Owltalon threw a sideways glance as Duskpaw. He knew the little she-cat must be envious of Spadekit, but, nonetheless, he'd told her that StarClan had already chosen a path for her. Nonetheless, the white tom waited until everything was taken care of with Icepaw before speaking.]
“Perhaps StarClan has lead your paws back to your birthclan...Cometstream, would you consider being BreezeClan's provisional medicine cat? And I say 'provisional' because I myself cannot make permanent decisions. Once our current deputy--now leader--returns, you can discuss the matter with him.”
[Owltalon meowed in his illustrious monotone, his golden stare unwavering. Since the drama finally seemed to be fleeting, the massive tom had a chance to sit down and let his pelt lie flat once again. He settled comfortably, his fluffy tail curling around him, as he awaited Cometstream's answer.]______________________ . .

 C l o v e r p a w“Fail with honor rather than succeed by fraud.”_____________________________[Cloverpaw watched wide-eyed as Cometstream so quickly subdued the Mad Icepaw, with the help of his mottled sister, of course. He felt his heart swell with pride and joy that Spadekit was finally able to help, and walk, and speak. His sister had finally recovered. The irony of it is that she recovered the day that Doveflight died. Cloverpaw winced inwardly as Cometstream explain part of her and Doveflight's pasts. His mother would always whine how she was kidnapped. His sisters seemed to believe it, though Cloverpaw, even as a kit, knew that something was...off. Well, there went his one shot at a semi-normal family. He shrugged.
In spite of his wandering mind, Cloverpaw watched Spadekit ask the question that dominated his thoughts entirely. Cometstream obviously did not want the subject brought up. Still, she said that she would tell Spadekit about it, so...Cloverpaw's pale leaf-green eyes shimmered with mixed emotions. He sighed, looking first at Mapleleaf, wondering when he'd ever get back to training, then at Dicekit, wondering what could be going through her mind, and lastly, back to Spadekit. Ah, his sisters...He never felt so close to them. How ironic that such ghastly sights and heart-wrenching events can bring the littermates together. Cloverpaw snorted. Irony seemed to be everywhere today.]
(( I love the last sentence. lD
I still can't believe Duskpaw's actually active in the RP again. XD I had her in a coma for a couple weeks. XDD
Eh, anyways, ignore my imagination-spasms, please. > >
And...Having three totally different cats with completely different dilemmas and all in one Clan is...interesting. XD ))________________________

((Sorry for the late post, guyss!))
Birdsong
[Wrenching her gaze from Willowstar, she turned her sad eyes on Duskpaw]
"Berryblaze and Willowstar..." she seemed to be choking on her words, and shook her head, turning to Dewburst, "Duskpaw, if Dewburst had the Madness, it's either died down now, or only temporairly gone. He's thinking straight, and probably wants to mourn with all his Clanmates"
[She meant no offense when she said this, she was merely stating what she knew. The sun was beginning to set, and everything in her hurt. Gently brushing her pelt of Jaywing's, she got up and walked towards the Wind Tree, and leapt onto it, leting out a yowl]
"Cats of BreezeClan, I know I'm not your leader, and I know I'm not Willowstar, not even close, but the sun is starting to set, and we must sit vigil for two of the best cats this Clan has ever seen" she lifted her head to the darkening sky, "Willowstar and Berryblaze will never be forgotten. StarClan, please offer these two cats the best spots you have up there, and help them watch over us"
[Leaping down, she padded back over to the bodies, too choked up for words, and lightly brushing Jaywing with her tail, she lay down,
her pelt mingling with the two dead cat's fur. She shut her eyes, wanting everything to go back to normal]

Even after my mirror's been shattered... Dicekit+++++++++++++++++++++++++ [Dicekit felt a pang inside of her, sad at the deaths of the two great leaders. Cometstream rose, as Icepaw fell into a deep trance of calm relaxation.] "It would be my honor to take on such a role. Thank you. I might not ever be able to fill the pawsteps of berryblaze, but i will try my hardest." [the she-cat dipped her head, and padded to Duskpaw.] "I can tell that you aren't one to want to take full responsibilities of a medicine cat, or the apprentice, but i would really appreciate it if you would assist me for the next couple of sunrises. I could use the extra paws." [Cometstream smiled, and turned to Berryblaze.] "Ah, Berryblaze...old friend...you lived up to the legacy, just as i predicted you would...we're all very proud of you...may starclan guide you well." [Cometstream nodded, then shifted a little to honor Willowstar.] "And Willowstar. Oh, i could go on for moons about how great you were. Even in disaster, you never gave in or became scared. Your clan was loved and trusted well by you, and we will make sure it stays as wonderful as you made it to be...rest well, Willowstar." [And with that, the tabby nodded her head again, turning towards Duskpaw. Dicekit felt a sense of pity for the two cats that Cometstream had made seem so heroic and powerful. She weakly got to her paws and padded from Doveflight's body to the two others laid by each other.]
...I still see the reflection.

Birdsong
[Opening her eyes, she turned her head, narrowing her eyes to glare at Cometstream. There was just something about her. She just happened to come in at the right time, right when Doveflight was falling. Something just wasn't right. Switching her gaze to Jaywing, she motioned with her head for him to come over, wanting to talk to him about Cometstream]

D u s k p a w“Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.”___________________________ [Duskpaw padded over to Birdsong just before she left for the Wind Tree. She leaned to the she-cat and whispered into her ear so that no other cat could catch it.]
“I know. It's just that he's been losing control of the Madness very easily lately. The only reason he appears sane right now is because I've given his enough sedative to put a lion to sleep.”
[And thus, Birdsong left for the Wind Tree and gave her speech. Then Cometstream padded up to her and told her that she'd like to have her help out. Well, that certainly caught Duskpaw off-guard. She blinked, looking back to Berryblaze and Willowstar before padding back to Dewburst with a sigh. She'd have to watch the tom closely from now on. He'd become less and less stable by each sunrise, and it was clear that the Madness had not yet left his system. She settled beside the tom, tucking her paws beneath her chestfur, and let her ears lie flat and she watched Cometstream mourn the dead leader and medicine cat. Still, distrust lingered within her. She wouldn't warm up to the former medicine cat easily...]
(( @Comet: It's Duskpaw...not Dawnpaw. > >;; But it's alright. A lot of people get that wrong. OTL ))____________________________

O w l t a l o n“Belief is not a matter of choice, but of conviction.”____________________________ “If you were the Clan's former medicine cat, then you should have no problem in doing so...BreezeClan is honored to have you here, I'm sure of it.”
[Owltalon shot a sideways glance at Birdsong and Duskpaw, among other warriors, who seemed to distrust the newcomer with every fiber of their being. Well, he had to admit, he himself did not entirely love the idea of keeping a stranger in the camp while Galespirit was off StarClan-knows-where retrieving the remedy, but he bit back his tongue and padded off, following Rosewind's scent.]
Oh, Galespirit will be in for a surprise once he returns...
[He chuckled darkly to himself, wondering how the new leader would cope with three deaths, two of which will go down in BreezeClan's history. Owltalon twitched his whiskers, trying to focus on Rosewind's sweet scent, rather than the blood that still tainted the air.]______________________..
