Halopaw slashed her way into the apprentices' den, cutting through the thick ferns walling the back of the den to collapse in a heap of tears in the strip of territory behind the apprentices' den. She did not make an effort to get up or stop sobbing; she felt too wretched. Hate churned through her veins, hate for Eaglefeather, hate for Midnight, hate for Skyflight... She hissed to herself, rocking back and forth, wishing this could all be over. Her heart panged with loneliness as she thought of what she and Eaglefeather could ave had. As a beetle tottered past, Halopaw crushed the life out of the insect with one small ginger paw. She loathed Eaglefeather now, he was nothing to her, absolutely nothing.
The apprentices' eyes caught the river flowing between the fern fronds. The triburtry that flowed around the CloudClan camp, acting as a barrier. Halopaw got unconsciously to her paws, wandering over to the foaming water. As Skytomb and his border patrol had reported, the water was churning furiously. Halopaw knew her father had nearly drowned in the river, and shivered at the thought. She placed one paw in the icy foam, wondering what it would feel like to die in this cold, dark oblivion. She bunched her muscles, ready to jump. No cat would find her... Just her.
Halopaw stepped back, her blue eyes glistening with fear. She peered over the bank of the river, her muzzle catching flwcks of the white foam.She looked at her reflection, not recognizing the cat she saw looking back at her from the rivers depths. This cat had a gaunt face, her cheekbones sticking out, her fur rumpled, her eyes and expression dull. Halopaw stumbled back, no longer recognizing herself.
"Oh StarClan, take me quickly," she prayed, bending her legs in preperation to hurl herself into the water. |

Cloakedpaw hurled himself at Halopaw. "Noo!" He shoved her backwards, away from the water.

Halopaw hissed as she was flung away from the luring darkness of the crashing black water, unsheathing her claws and attempting to batter the face of her saviour. Because of this movement, she forgot to land on all four paws and stumbled, rolling over and over backwards. She let out a squeak and a hiss as she came to a halt, and leapt to her paws, eyes burning with anger and embarrasment. She flicked a scrap of moss from her fur, before looking properly at the cat who had saved her. She immediatly recognized the flaming ginger pelt and round face. It was her brother.
"Cloakedpaw!" she hissed indignantly. |

Halopaw hissed at her brother, only held back from clawing him because he was her kin. She glared furiously at him, sinking her claws into the sodden earth; she had been so close! So close that her claws had brushed the velvet surface of luxurious death. Everything gone. Just her, with every cat that had not betrayed her, up in StarClan... But now Cloakedpaw had snatched it all away from her.
"Everyone dies!" she hissed. "Your not mother!" |

Skyflight jogged over to the two apprentices. "You two ok?" she asked uncertainly looking at both the cats with her icy looking green eyes.

[ooc;] This'll be interesting. -rubs hands together-
[bic;] Halopaw hissed as a new voice reached her ears. Swinging around, her glare reached Skyflight. She remembered hearing her and Eaglefeather speaking earlier. Her ears grew hot with anger. "Just fine!" she yowled, fur bristling. |

((Im bored... am I allowed here too?))
Snowstorm trotted through the ferns. Her bright blue optics caught sight of a group of cats dangerously close to the stream. "Whats going on?" The deputy asked, tail lashing slightly. She didn't like it all these cats looked so worried and so close to the river too. "Is something wrong Halopaw?" She added with a faint smile. |

Skyflight took a step back. She had no idea why Halopaw was so angry. Then she clicked. Eaglefeather! She looked at the cats, nodding respectively to Snowstorm, and gave Halopaw a look that said 'im sorry'. Then she started to back away.
ooc: hehe shadey xD

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make this a land worth fighting for ..
He remembered, long ago, as a small apprentice with spirit and fierceness aplenty, ready to learn things from his mentor ... and things he was ready to defy. As a dust-pelted tom with flashing green eyes and an electric temper, he was disciplined many times, his attitude driven away until he had learned the respect and humility so many other cats required and demanded from younglings. The tabby snorted; he demanded it himself, because he had had to learn it, and it was only fair the new generation of kits learned it as well.
Straying from the thought of humility for a bit, Almondfur padded into camp, his head raised high, though his cheek was scraped and blood trickled lightly from the small wound. While chasing a vole, he had ignored all else but the bit of prey. He knew his clan needed feeding, but he himself was starved, and he had already hunted for Cloudclan. So, he wished to dig his teeth into the rodent's insignificant flesh and swallow mouthfuls of it. He was famished. So, like a careless apprentice or kittypet, he had torn past a thicket of nettles, and, carelessly, and fallen face first into them. The bit of fresh-kill had escaped his claws narrowly, and he was terribly bitter about it. Almondfur stalked into camp with a stiff manner, and he licked his chops and perked his ears when the noise of fighting was heard. Quarreling young cats snapped at each other and spoke of suicide.
Suicide. It's for cowardly kittypets who can't take the challenges of life and so they take their own lives by their own paws. It's dishonorable. He shuddered as he took in the sight. Halopaw - a she-cat apprentice of his clan, had been prepared to commit murder to herself by drowning herself in whirlpools of dark water. He gritted his teeth together and hissed in frustration. Deciding it wasn't his fight, but the battle between sharp words and a depressed, suicidal she-cat was interesting, and he sat on his haunches, merely raising an impudent paw to groom while he observed the scene with bright, watchful sage-green eyes.

Cloakedpaw looked at her and gaped. "Why?" he asked.

Halopaw hissed furiouly at her brother. "Why won't you just leave me be! I don't need you; I don't need anyone!" The apprentice swung around, baring her ivory-white fangs at Snowstorm and the retreating Skyflight before rushing from the apprentices' den. Catching Almondfur's eye, her ginger fur bristled and she snarled; "What?" The tabby hurtled between the trees of the forest, fury coursing through her veins. She had to hurt something... To kill something. She chopped at the lon, springy stems of grass with her claws, breaking them easily. She stopped to slash at a tree trunk, denting it a little but breaking off a couple of her front claws in the process. She then pounced on a blackbird and tore the fresh-kill to pieces. When she had finished, she sank to the grass, limbs splattered with scarlet blood. |

Cloakedpaw looked around. He ducked his head and paded away.
Midnightsky showed up and licked Snowstorm's ear.

Skyflight held her breath when Halopaw rushed past. She then turned and retreated to the warriors den.

Snowstorm bristled slightly at the apprentice baring her teeth at her but then stopped. Halopaw was in a deep pit of dispare now. She looked at Midnightsky with soft eyes. "Someone should go talk to her." She decided, flicking her tail. |

((Oh? Whats his name then?  )) Snowstorm looked away for a moment. "Well you'd have to be very gentle with her. She is very sensitive I'd say right now. Her heart is broken..." Snowstorm meowed quietly. |

Midnightsky nodded his head. But his blue eyes were still troubled. "What if she tries again?" he meowed.

((Ohh ^_^' )) Snowstorm sighed. "I don't know. Perhaps we should just keep an eye and help her through it. Its obvious this is really affecting her." She murmered. |
