Towards a New Beginning [FC-PLOT]

[Bluesky]

OOC:// WOOO LATE-COMER, BURSTING IN RANDOMLY

AS PER USUAL //

Tigerpelt had fought hard and well during the battle, so well that early on he had attracted the attention of a few huge BloodClan cats, who'd ripped off large chunks of his fur. He'd passed out briefly, darkness closing in around his vision. The last thing he saw was his brother and sister standing over him, snarling at the opposing cats.

When he came to, the sun had moved considerably across the sky. He realized that he'd been roused by a cry of retreat, and he scrambled to his feet. He was frozen to the spot, though, when he caught sight of two bodies. Leopardclaw... Lioneye... Their throats had been literally ripped out, their bodies mangled. He put a paw forward to press his nose to their lifeless pelts, but before he could, a growl caught his attention. Glancing up, he saw an orange tom cat, who was poised to leap at him. His strangely colored eyes widened with fear, and he turned and fled. He caught up with the remains of FallenClan, mostly Ice- and SkyClan cats, it seemed.

It had been all he could manage to drag himself along, until they finally stopped for the night and he collapsed to the ground. Sleep immediately closed in on him.

(erm, since everyone thought the orange cat was a guy... then I created a girl lol... but it might be funny for them to meet again and then her to be all "RAWR" and then suddenly they realize it's a girl and yeah idk /shutsup)

Lightningwind had thoroughly enjoyed the battle, and when the FallenClan cats finally retreated - a shame, really, she could've killed a few more - she was indeed standing amoung a pile of bodies. Her shining moment had definitely been taking down that old coot, Rainstar. Watching his daughter and Snowstar's pain had been quite entertaining.

There was a sudden movement to her side, and she stopped her musings to whip around, ready to attack again. A wounded warrior was attempting to say goodbye to the dead, it seemed, and she growled maliciously at him. It was those cats' fault for dying, they would not get the honor of even a goodbye! The brown cat looked up at her in fear, and she mentally noted his eyes, green rimmed with bright yellow. She would enjoy watching the light leave them.

Then, she noticed Clifftalon coming over. She relaxed, spitting after the fleeing FallenClan tom. She would find him again and kill him, she decided. But it would be more fun for her if he had a chance to recover and become a worthwhile enemy again. For now, she turned to her deputy. Past him, she could see Bloodeyes poking at a dead cat. "What is that fool doing now?" Her brows drew together in a disgusted look, Bloodeyes was a good fighter and mindlessly followed her orders, but great SunClan he was idiotic.

(I agree with Lightfur on this, there would be alot of back and forth if we had a bunch of different threads for it all. We can go back and forth when they are no longer chasing the FC cats so there is some separation, but for now we should leave it.)

Aspenbark Spotted Bloodeyes prodding a dead cat, looking confused. Obviously. She trotted over, and spoke to the white cat. "Bloodeyes, it's a dead cat. Meaning that It's like you, only not alive. You got that? Now, we are going to go make more of those, " She flicked her tail at the body, "Out of the rest of the groveling mice that ran off. You are going to be on our patrol." She hopped she wouldn't have to do more explaining, she still had to go find Monster, and she wasn't sure how long that would take.

[Nightpaw]

Owlflight trailed after Aspenbark, tail dragging on the dirt. How had he ended up here? He did not belong in this clan at all. He looked to where Chosenstar sat, resentment rising in his stomach.

(added cus I forgot him in the last one.)

[Lightfur]

Clifftalon glanced back, following Lightningwind's look to that moron Bloodeyes. Really, the only thing that can was good for was as a sort of drone. He was useful, in his own way, but Clifftalon had no respect or patience for the idiot albino, which is why the deputy usually left it to others to deal with him. Luckily, as he stared at Bloodeyes in distaste, Aspenbark came up to the red-eyed cat and ordered him over to the meeting site. Clifftalon was greatly relieved, and glad that Aspenbark at least was a reliable warrior, cold, ambitious, underhanded and vicious when she needed to be. She reminded him a little of his first mate in that.

Turning back to Lightningwind, Clifftalon shrugged. "Aspenbark is handling him, thank SunClan." He was happy to turn his eyes back to Lightningwind, since she was one of the most beautiful she-cats he had ever seen, especially in battle, when she was a streak of orange fur and flying claws. Of course, she was also lovely now, in the calm after the fighting, with blood drying on her fur and claws. "I saw you finish off Rainstar- that was well done," the deputy remarked, which was true. Rainstar had been a thorn in BloodClan's side ever since the conflict had started, and no cat had managed to finish him off- until now. "Anyways, we're getting a patrol together to track down and eliminate the survivors- I assume that you'd be interested." This wasn't a question. "By the way, have you seen Monster anywhere?"

OoC: >. > I'm not sure if his name should be Scumbag or Creepycat.

[Bluesky]

OOC:// lol Scumbag... xD //

Lightningwind twitched her ears in relief when Aspenbark went over to deal with Bloodeyes. He was good for ordering to battle, but she really hated handling him in his stupid moments. She turned her gaze back to Clifftalon, whiskers rippling when he reminded her of Rainstar's death. He'd bled quite a lot... she wondered if it was because the life he had was from MoonClan, or if his body had been just waiting for her claws to tear into it and rip its last life out.

Her attention was drawn back to the deputy again as he continued speaking. She dipped her head, pleased that she was included in the patrol. But then, she bared her fangs, hissing slightly. "I saw that useless cat skulking away when we started winning. I almost went and tore his pelt off when I saw that he was retreating." She spat in disgust- she'd never liked Monster, and had always assumed that it was a fact that they would eventually kill him later, rather than give him a portion of territory. Or course, under Chosenstar's orders, she would hold back, but as soon as he gave the go ahead... oh, SunClan help that cat's spirit, because she'd leave nothing to be buried!

**Everyone please take note, a new thread specifically for BloodClan cats that are following the FallenClan cats can be found here.

This is something that Wildy has decided to let me try in order to keep things organized. In one week (7/29/11) when everyone has had a sufficient amount of time to either PM me with questions, post or complain about the new idea, ALL BloodClan posts from this thread will be removed.

Please PM me with questions, comments or concerns.**

[Lightfur]

OoC: Note: Moved all completely OoC posts other than staff announcements to the Plot Discussion Board, since I promised Sleety I would.

(Alright)

Flightkit stood and looked around for the pebble that had tripped him up. "Mommy, why do they attack us like that? What did we do to make them so mad?" She gave up his search and headed back over to his family, and sat by his mother. "I know I wouldn't get so mad over something little..." He thought of another kit sticking his toung out at him.

[Starlight]

Angelface took a deep breath to keep her tears from coming again. She smiled sadly down at her beautiful son and bent to nuzzle his cheek.

It all came rushing back to Breezekit then--the panic, the pained and angry yowls, the cats lying still on the ground, covered in something red and sticky...

The kit whimpered and buried his face in his mother's side.

"They weren't angry," Angelface told her kits slowly, thinking carefully before she spoke. "They did what they did because they are mean cats, meaner than any other cat you've ever met. They think that hurting other cats is fun."

Breezekit looked up at his mother, wide-eyed and horrified by the idea. "What cat would think that's fun?" he asked, his voice higher-pitched than usual in fear."

Angelface considered this. "They weren't cats at all," she finally said, and Breezekit blinked in confusion. "They were monsters, that look like cats. Because only monsters think hurting others is fun." It was true, in a way. And she didn't want the kits to grow up being afraid of cats they didn't know. Better that they be afraid of the monsters.

"I'll never be mean again," Breezekit announced, stepping back. His tone was much stronger now, for a kit. "I don't want to be a monster."

[Nightpaw]

"Fighting back doesn't wont turn me into a monster though, right?" Flightkit Hoped so, he didn't want to be a Monster either, but What if it was the only way to keep them safe? He looked to His brother, who he adored just as much as he did his parents, but they were invisible, and Breezkit looked so small next to them.....

(Another Quick question.......Does driftkit exist if no one filled in his place? Or was he just not there?)

[Lightfur]

OoC: Pretty sure Driftkit just doesn't exist. ^^

BiC: Sandflower watched over her son worriedly, as Polarbear's breath remained labored. She hoped that Boneclaw and Northsky returned with herbs to treat him soon!

OoC: Seriously, Sleety, we can't move the FC cats until Boneclaw treats Polarbear and Darkfang. D8 No pressure or anything. xDD

[Starlight]

((We're just gonna say Driftkit was never born. Sorry, Driftkit! xp))

"Of course not," Angelfur assured her son. "You're only a monster if you fight for fun. If you fight to protect something, something or someone important to you, then you're a warrior. Like your daddy."

Breezekit gasped in awe, his eyes big as oak leaves. "Really?" he asked. "And like Mommy too, right? You're a warrior, aren't you?"

Angelface forced herself to keep the smile on her face. "Yes, Mommy's a warrior too, when she's not a queen."

"That's so cool! I wanna be a warrior, too! I wanna protect Mommy and Daddy and Flightkit and Auntie and Grandda!"

The queen flinched. "Honey," she said softly, "Grandda doesn't need protecting anymore."

Breezekit tilted his head to the side. "Why not?"

"Because...becasue Grandda went to live with MoonClan," she explained. "He's up there in the sky now, watching over you, and you too, Flightkit. He's watching over you to...to make sure you become fine warriors one day."

Breezekit blinked tears from his eyes. "And he's not coming back?"

Angelface shook her head.

"I'm gonna miss him," Breezekit said.

((Sorry...I'm not leaving much room for Flightkit, am I?))

[Nightpaw]

((no no, there is only so much I can do when I'm one kit. It's good))

Flightkit looked around, really seeing that his Grandad was not there, and his head sank. Then he looked up at the sky. "I'm gonna be the best warrior in Fallenclan soon, Granda!" he meowed loudly to the clouds.
He looked down at Breezkit "They'll Call me 'Flighthero' 'cus I'm gonna keep everybody safe from the Bloodclan cat-monsters!" He jumped at Breezkit playfully. "You too, you too! You'd be my partner!"

**Ohsnap I am needed aren't I XP I thought y'all where actually doing plot stuff not buying time... *headdesk* **

Boneclaw had wanted to spend some quality time with Northsky who seemed emotionally distraught. Of course, everycat here was emotionally distraught but loosing ones brother was hard...she knew that as well as any other cat if not better. And yet she wasn't really sure how to approach Northsky about the issue just yet. She only hoped that if he needed to talk, he would go to someone, even if it wasn't her. The last thing she wanted was for her nephew to be hurting inside and not tell anyone.

And so, she only told him what the herbs looked like that she needed and once they had them, the pair returned to the makeshift 'camp' to treat the injured. Darkfang was asleep and she didn't want to disturb him so she made her way to Polarbear's side.

His tail had stopped bleeding, but she wanted to make sure it wasn't infected. She licked away as much dried blood as she could (yuck!) before treating to his stumpy tail.

Once she had finished, she made her way to Darkfang. She sniffed his wound to make sure nothing had gotten inside of it like dirt or leaves and began to work as gently as possible so as not to wake him.

[Starlight]

((...So, she's back from collecting herbs, then? -.-))
