Dawnwhisper stopped at the entrance to the moonpool, she could feel her apprentice, Fawnpaw, quivering with excitement and anticipation beside her, Dawnwhisper wasn't surprised, this was the young she-cat's first journey to the Moonpool, the past 3 half-moons, they had been too busy in camp to come, due to an outbreak of grencough, but now newleaf was here and prey was plentiful and herbs were growing back, it was a miracle WindClan had lost no cats to the infection, in fact, things were getting better for WindClan since Haretuft and Tigerburn joined StarClan, leaving behind their four kits
no, only three were both Haretuft and Tigerburn's
Tigerburn mothered all but one, but they were still kin, as Haretuft was the father. His adultery, if you could call it that Dawnwhisper thought suppressing a hiss, had been a great betrayal of Tigerburn's trust, and the warrior code, the clan knew of his crime, but they did not know the mother, only Dawnwhisper did, and she prayed StarClan didn't blame her for it
it wasn't her fault!
he did this to her, she didn't want this, but he forced her, that night he cornered her somewhere nobody would find them, where nobody would hear her yowling...
She pushed those thoughts to the back of her mind, She loved Icehead, even before he vanished, before she took on the responsibility of medicine cat. She curled her tail around her paws and waited for the others

Tornwing stopped beside the entrance, he had run ahead of his mentor, Twistedtale, to check for other medicine cats, his yes rested on Dawnwhisper and Fawnpaw, he dipped his head in greeting, he'd seen the little ginger-and-white she-cat at gatherings, she was quiet and gentle, she seemed very honest and curious as well, Dawnwhisper had told him she had a good memory for herbs, admirable traits for a medicine cat. He could see the excitement dancing in her eyes, he gave her an encouraging nod, he sat down beside them and began washing his paws.

Twistedtale padded in, his shoulders hunched, his neck low, a low growl escaping his maw of hatred, which was filled with words unspoken of how much he really hated everyone, the Medicine Cat plopped down, away from the others; his eyes narrowed. "Hurry up other cats!" he growled, even though he had been there for only a few seconds, the tom was already losing his very short temper, he was ill-tempered, hating everything, but not as much as he hated RiverClan cats. He glared at his Apprentice. "You should be more careful, what if noone had been here and some rouge was here and attacked you? Think before you act" he said, with a growl of threat in his voice.

Tornwing faced his mentor's angry glare with a calm stare "I would have scented a rogue before I got here, the only scent was that of WindClan, Dawnwhisper and Fawnpaw" he flicked his tail in the direction of the two she-cats "it was too fresh and strong to be carried from the moors" he had been Twistedtale's apprentice for seasons, he was used to the tom's sharp tongue and bad attitude.
Dawnwhisper dipped her head "greetings, Twistedtale, Tornwing" she could sense Fawnpaw stiffening beside her, Twistedtale growling at his apprentice like that must've bothered her, or the suggestion that rogues might attack, she nudged her apprentice "I assure you, no rogues will attack you here"
Fawnpaw was taken aback by Twistedtale's growling, but she was impressed by how matter-of-fact Tornwing was, not even averting his eyes from the grumpy tom's glare. She shuddered, rogues, here, she'd barely begun her mandatory battle training yet, no way could she take on a rogue, however, Dawnwhisper's assurance comforted her "who are we waiting for now?" she asked quietly.

Twistedtale looked annoyed at his Apprentice. "You don't know that, cat's can mask their scents" he said, with a cold stare, and a still growl in his cold-hearted voice, the stone underpaw seemed like his heart. Cold. He looked at the cat who spoke about who they were waiting on. "If they don't get here soon, i'm going on ahead to talk to StarClan, wether they like it or not" he said annoyed, StarClan! He hated it when cats were late! It really got on his nerves.

Tornwing decided it was pointless to continue arguing "of course" he said simply, flicking his ears, you could never win with Twistedtale so why bother?
Dawnwhisper flicked her tail "lets wait a little while longer" Twistedtale was grumpier than an old badger, but he was also cold and uncaring, Dawnwhisper couldn't help wondering how such a hating tom could be a medicine cat, she was certain cats would be far too afraid to come to him with their problems
Fawnpaw glanced from side to side "we should wait, we don't know what could be keeping them" she was getting nervous, what was StarClan like? what would she see?

(Just to move things along x.x)
Violetpath padded in, followed closely by Spottedflame and Lilyshine, "Sorry" they all seemed to say, Twistedtale glared at the cats. "You took too long!" he growled at them, a very bitter look upon his face, his amber eye's cold and harsh, causing Violetpath to flinch a bit, almost as if the tom would attack her. Twistedtale and Tornwing were the only male cats there, all the other were female, which wasn't a suprise, Medicine Cats usually seemed to be female.

((okidoke!))
Dawnnwhisper stood up "its quite all right, we were early anyway" she looked up "lets hurry, the moon is at its peak"
Tornwing sighed "patience is a virtue, Twistedtale" he looked at the other medicine cats "its good to see you, I hope all is well in your clans"
Fawnpaw brushed close to her mentor "I'm a little scared" Dawnwhisper flicked her tail over the young she-cat's shoulder "it'll be all right, don't worry, our ancestors are very wise and will share their wisdom with you, and their hunting grounds are beautiful, there's nothing to be afraid of"

Twistedtale glared at the cats. "No it isn't Tornwing, patience isn't everything" he said to his Apprentice, arousing himself to his paws, and padding over to the pool, he laid down, touching his nose to the water, while Lilyshine, Spottedflame and Violetpath did the same.

Tornwing shook his head an muttered under his breath, he looked at Fawnpaw "you'll be fine" he followed his mentor and touched his nose to the water.
Dawnwhisper did the same "everything will be fine" she said to her apprentice quickly
Fawnpaw hesitated at the edge of the pool "StarClan are good cats, they won't hurt me" she touched her nose to the water, she nearly gasped in surprise at how cold it was.

(Okay, I don't know where Midnight is, but I'ma start this. ._.)
Suzu had a sick feeling in her stomach. Attacking the medicine cats from the other clans was not something she wanted to do, but she held her tongue. She quietly padded behind the patrol of Bloodclan cats, wishing she could just run away from the patrol.

Steel crouched in the tall grass signalling the assembled cats to do the same, he tasted the air, they were downwind and at an advantage, he scented 7 cats, he had a patrol of 6, but these were healers from what he'd been told, trained in herbs not battle skills
this would be too easy
he breathed in the scents of the forest, the musky prey scents, the refreshing scent of the lake
how was it these forest cats were given so much for so little, whereas his clan had to fight so hard for what they had, little decent food, next-to-no space, forever faced with threats like twolegs or dogs, the unfairness of it!
Steel scented something else, something from his own cats, something he wasn't used to
was that fear scent?
he turned to the offender, a she-cat, Suzu "Don't tell me you're afraid of a bunch of soft forest cats! Do you think it's wrong? that we shouldn't do this? I'll tell you what's "wrong"! living the hard life we've got while they have all the fresh kill and territory they could want! if you so much as think of turning away, I'll report you to Midnight, do you understand me?!" he hissed

Battle came up to the cat's, her dark pelt glittering like raven feathers, her blue eye's glittering with malice. "Quiet down" The second-in-command hissed at them, her tail flickering at them, dark claw's slipping out of her paws. "Come on, let's attack, we have the chance" She mewed, crouching down, bringing her body forward quietly without another word. She looked over at Steel. "If that's okay with you" She murmured to him, knowing he had been put in control of leading the patrol.
Twistedtale growled, and laid down at the edge of the pool, dipping his nose into the water, falling asleep.
"Twistedtale, it's not safe" he heard the voice, opening his eye's, staring at the female before him, a blue she-cat. "What do you mean it's not safe!?" he growled at her, his tail lashing, cold eye's narrowing. "I mean it's not safe! you're going to get attacked!" She said desperately, but the tom was to stubborn to believe her.

Steel flicked his ears and nodded to Battle "agreed" he glanced back at the rest of the patrol "If we are all ready, remember what you must do" without really waiting for an answer, he slipped closer to the pool, jumping on a rock, he peered down on the cats, he flicked his tail signalling for Battle to take her place, he scraped his dog-tooth enforced claws against the rock "get ready"
Dawnwhisper stood in the starlit clearing, she glanced from side to side
were were StarClan's warriors?
She caught a glimpse of a figure by the stream, a she-cat with ginger tabby fur, her pelt seemed thin, tautly streched and strained over bones, every rib showing and sunken pale yellow eyes
"Dwindlingflame!"
The ancient WindClan medicine cat blinked, it always struck Dawnwhisper as odd, she thought cats were restored to when they were happiest, how could a cat be happy, being so starved, so sick
The she-cat's eyes were wide with...was that terror?
"Dawnwhisper! you must go! you have to wake up! get away from here!"
Dawnwhisper took a step back, surprised by that tone in which the cat spoke "w-why?"
"wake up! please! before it's too late!"
Tornwing yowled in terror, the water was rising, it splashing around his paws, hot and sticky
this...t-this isn't...StarClan's kits! i-it's...blood!
it was already lapping at his belly fur, and rising fast, he tried to yowl, but his voice had left him, he was going to die, swallowed up in this sea of blood.
Images of faces, fangs and claws flashed in front of his eyes
"NO!"
