[Mouse Plot] Don't ask, just [Help]

The mottled senior warrior made his way across the camp and into the medicine cat den with a small, bloody bundle in his maw. He really hoped Runningcloud was done with Snowflake's newborn litter, because the bloody mess he was carrying was his own granddaughter, Mousepaw. Or so he thought, but he would find out about that later. He finally got to the premade bed and laid the apprentice in it and had no choice but to sit and wait for some cat to show up. A million things ran through his mind, but the top two was getting Runningcloud and finding Clearpool to warn her about the newest Rogue that mawed Mousepaw. He had to suppress the thought of going in the herb den and finding a few herbs for the injured cat, though he wouldn't know what to do with them.

^{ooc;; Can I post in this with any cat?}

[KURI. (happy birfday to me :D)]

"I'll take care of her," Lavenderlace murmured quietly as she emerged from the medicine den. Gently rolling the broken apprentice over so she could treat the wounds on her stomach first, she was shocked at how much of her pelt was streaked with blood. The young medicine cat had never had to treat anything like this before. She was afraid and her paws were shaking, but she forced herself to steady them as she applied a light poltuce to the biggest gash, one dangerously close to her neck. Swallowing, the sweet scent of marigold surrounded her as she rubbed some onto the cuts, blood soaking her small white paws. Goodness, she hadn't had this much blood on her since... Since her mother died. She shook her head. She had to try not to think about that now. Mousepaw had to live. But hadn't she seen Mousepaw just this morning? Could she have left camp? The life of a medicine cat was so secluded that she sometimes had no idea what the other warriors and their apprentices were doing.

When she had put marigold and cobwebs on all the wounds, she tapped Lightningstorm on the shoulder with her tail. "If you would, lick her clean of the blood..." she absently pushed the bedding in a tighter circle around the silver she-cat, reviewing her mind for anything else that would help.

Relief came over the Warrior as Lavenderlace came up with the herbs. He watched quietly as she applied the herbs to his granddaughter and hoped that she would be alright. The medicine cat apprentice brought him back from his thoughts as she asked him to clean Mousepaw off. "Huh? Oh, right!" He bent down and began to like her pelt clean, noticing the cat's leg at an odd angle. "Um, I don't think thats supposed to be like that."

Ooc:// Yeah, the threads open =3 Oh! Hey, Jolly, could you post with a warrior bringing the real Mousepaw back from training?

Oh, and Kuri, she has a broken back leg.[/sub]

[x.Jolly.x]

ooc;; Sure... I'll put Angelfeather on that!

Angelfeather

Angelfeather had wanted to go out hunting. She didn't want to go out alone, soshe found an apprentice to go with her. Mousepaw had gone with the elder warrior. Just then, Angelfeather and Mousepaw were returning from a successful hunt. Angelfeather padded through the camp entrance, carrying prey in her jaws. She dropped it in the freshkill pile and called out to Mousepaw, who should've been right behind her. 'Mousepaw! Did you get the rest of the prey?' She sat down and waited for the little shecat to come into the camp.

<(^/.\^)>Mousepaw

"Coming!!" A voice called from the camp entrance, though she had prey in her muzzle so she landed up dropping the two mice and tripped over her own paws. She laughed before picking the mice back up and bolting back over to the waiting Angelfeather. She placed the mice down and started bouncing around like a kit. She suddenly stop and looked over to see her grandfather starring at her, almost like he's seen a ghost. He glanced back into the medicine cat den then back at her. "Whys Lightningstorm starring at me like that?" She watched as the Senior Warrior came over too them and for a while looked too stunned to speak. "C-come. Both of you..." He asked after finally finding his voice and walking back over to the Medicine cat den. Mousepaw gave a confused look at Angelfeather before following Lightningstorm into the den where she found a copy of herself laying in a bloody heap on the ground and partly covered in chewed up marigold and soaking cobwebs. "Who's this?" she asked and for once in a quiet voice but Lightningstorm was lost in his memories again.

Angelfeather

Angelfeather chuckled at the apprentice. Mousepaw did seem to be goofy. All of a sudden, she noticed Lightningstorm. She looked at Mousepaw, then back at Lightningstorm. She answered the apprentice. 'I don't know, let's go find out.' Angelfeather nodded at Lightningstorm as he told them to come look at this.

Angelfeather had not prepared herself for the sight. She looked down at the cat, then at Mousepaw. 'Mousepaw... she looks exactly like you. They must have... oh, no. Mousepaw has been with me all morning, hunting. We just got back.' Angelfeather tried to make sense of what was going on. She went to stand next to the apprentice, as if to give her support if she needed it. She looked down at the apprentice and gave her a lick between the ears. 'Don't worry. We'll find out who this is.' She looked back up at Lightningstorm. 'What happened, and do you know anything about this?' She wanted to know.

[KURI. (happy birfday to me :D)]

"Ah. Right. Of course." the she-cat's paws worked the leg back to the right position, fearing that it might not heal properly. She tried not to think about what she was doing to this she-cat as she wrapped some stiff herbs around it to hold it in place. "That will do until Runningcloud can look at her," she fliched as she thought of the two kits, joint as one. Runningcloud broke a bone there, why couldn't she fix one? Gah. The ginger medicine cat nearly jumped up as she saw Mousepaw and Angelfeather, both looking undisputedly healthy. Who was this then? Who was the cat she had just pasted with poltuces and herbs?

"We should tell Jasm-- we should tell Clearpool," she murmured her correction meekly. She was still getting used to the tortie leader's absence.

Tilting his ears toward the commotion, Flarewind stretched as soon as he exited the warrior den. Tail swayed slowly behind him, as he moved toward where everyone stood, gathered around a fairly banged up cat. "Er, whats going on," he asked, golden-green eyes scanning around to look at his Clan mates. This cats scent didn't match SerenityClan, and this confused him. Who was this mystery cat? The temporary deputy wondered how Lightningstorm was still fairing, after Mystique had up and left. He hadn't gotten a change to ask the older tom, since he had been missing in action lately.

Runningcloud

// _{"I think I'd like an answer to that question too," Runningcloud growled, stepping out of the shadows. She had been checking up on Sequoiakit and Sealkit one more time before taking a break to go see about this Mousepaw ordeal that Aloepaw had come charging in about. Seeing the she-cat in the bed and Mousepaw by Angelfeather's side, the massive femme's scowl deepened at the error.}

We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days...

Through the fire and the flames we carry on!

Lightningstorm's ears flatten as he finally remembered who this was. He never thought he would see her again, much less alive. Memories flashed in his mind, memories he almost wished to forget, but he never did and for so long he had hoped in would never come down too this. He was jogged out of it as Flarewind, who was just coming in, interrupted his thoughts followed by Runningcloud. "Flarewind, I need to talk to you and Clearpool. Wheres Clearpool?"

Angelfeather

Angelfeather looked from Lightningstorm to Mousepaw, then to Lavenderlace and Runningcloud. 'There is something bizarre going on here. Maybe you should clean off the pelt of that cat and see if it coms from a clan. That's where we should start.' Angelfeather looked back at Mousepaw. She tapped the apprentice with her tail, signaling her to back out. 'Come on, Mousepaw, let's go and feed the elders, then get some freshkill. You might as well continue your duties while they figure out who this cat is. Maybe we should let Hyenastrike know that you're alright, if he doesn't know already.' She mewed to the little apprentice.

[/sup][/blockquote]

[---> LIZZEH]

Whiskers twitched, and the tom shrugged. "I haven't seen her since she named me temporary deputy. Is she asleep in the Warriors den?" Ears flicked slightly, wondering what Lightningstorm wanted to talk to them about. Paws shuffled the ground slightly, and he backed up, trying to give the other cats some room to breathe.

<(^/.\^)>Mousepaw

At first Mousepaw thought about asking to stay here but looking up at Angelfeather, she knew that the Warrior was right. There were other things that needed to be done, then she would try to return later to find out if the copy of her had woken up. "Alright. She replied ready to leave. "See you later, Lightningstrom."

Lightningstorm gave her a weak smile and a nod but his mind was still racing with random thoughts. "Alright, lets see if she's in the den." He didn't even wait up for Flarewind before racing out of the Medicine cat clearing up to the Warrior den where he poked his head in, hoping to see the temporary leader there. "Clearpool?"

Angelfeather

Angelfeather looked down at the apprentice as she gently guided her out of the Medicine Cat Den. She took her near the entrance of the camp, before sitting down. 'Mousepaw, I only took you out of there in case it was too overwhelming or too weird. This way, you can get your chores done and ponder over who it could be. If you'd like to go back, that's fine with me. First, though, we should go find Hyenastrike. He might think that you are in the Medicine Cat's Den.' She looked at the apprentice. 'If you need to talk about this, you can talk to me, okay?' She asked, sitting down.

[/sup][/blockquote]

[---> LIZZEH]

Lightningstorm hadn't even waited. Shaking his head slightly, the multi-colored tom turned, heading after the older warrior. Tail swayed in the air, wondering what was going to happen. Stopping outside of the warrior den, he plopped himself down onto his rear, golden-green eyes watching. This sure was interesting. A yawn was stifled, as Flarewind was still a bit sleepy. But, he could not shirk on his duties as the temporary deputy.

_Clearpool[/size][/font]

Clearpools eyes snapped open as she heard her name being called, It took her a second to get her wits about her before she remembered everything that had happened. She was in charge now, she must answer Lightningstorms call. The white femme sprang to her feet and padded outside, ears pricked and eyes concerned. "Is something wrong Lightningstorm?" she said. Clearpool looked at him and her eyes narrowed. "You smell of blood. What has happened?" she asked, trying not to let herself get wound up and worried, that would only make things worse.

The senior Warrior looked away for a moment trying to figure out how to explain everything when he finally decided to tell Clearpool everything. "I was leading the patrol this morning and we came across a rogue fighting one of our own cats, my granddaughter, Mousepaw... or so we thought. She was covered in blood and looks exactly like Mousepaw, so we brought her back here and into the medicine cat den when the real Mousepaw appeared. I've realized who this other cat is... is there some place where we can talk in private?" Lightningstorm really didn't feel like telling who ever was in the warrior den the whole story. Not yet, anyway.

Ooc:// You will not believe this, I forgot what he was going to tell Clearpool!

[(aurora) of the problematique]

_{ooc;// That Mousepaw isn't Morningstripe's daughter or whatever?}

[Dansen[Mouse]]

Ooc:// Yeah, but I had a story in my mind on how he got Mousepaw and how he knows about Silver but I forgot it. Didn't write it down Dx

[Spice..xx]

<sub>[ooc]Awww poor Mouseh! Lol.

[bic]Clearpool</sub>[/font]

The white female nodded slowly as Lightningstorm spoke and felt a jolt of sympathy as she saw him looking uncomfortable. Her clear blue eyes travelled until they landed on the Leaders den. It was the only place that was really very private. "We shall go into Jasminestars den. She would want us to use it if we needed it, and its the only private place. Come, Lightingstorm" she said quietly, flicking her tail and entering Jasminestars den, her tummy twisting.

Lightningstorm followed the soon to be new leader of the Clan up to the Leader's den. He wondered if Flarewind was going to follow or not, and he really didn't mind if he did or not, he actually hoped he would because he liked the young warrior. He settled down on one side of the den and prepared himself to revel it. He just hoped his aging mind would remember it clearly even though it only happened about eight or nine moons ago.

"My daughter, Morningstripe, lost all her kits that day. It was early in the morning and we had been outside of the camp on a short walk even though I had tried to get her back too camp. Everything happened so fast, she started giving birth in the middle of the forest and there was no time to return to camp for Runningcloud. She lost her kits that morning, two kits whom she had named Hazelkit and Shudderkit. She headed back to the camp while I went to bury the kits but not too long after that another cat came through the bushes carrying two kits. Her name was Waterpool."

The old tom took a deep breath before continuing; "She was a former MoonClan cat who had gone rogue and wanted to come back to the Clans with her kits, but I'm afraid that we stood there talking too long for her rogue mate found us and attacked her, killing her before I knew what was even happening. I had no choice, I grabbed the nearest kit and brought her back too camp where Morningstripe nursed her. I went back out to see if I could find the other one but all I found was a patrol looking over her dead body.

"I don't know why I did it, I was still in shock about Morningstripe's lost kits and from that rogue attacking Waterpool, I lied to them about knowing the her and went back to camp where I told Morningstripe what happened. She decided to claim the small kit as her own. The kits name was Mouse who is now Mousepaw. Runningcloud never knew about any of this, the only other cat who knew about this was the father to Morningstripe's dead kits and he didn't want to have anything to do with Mouse so he kept quiet about the whole thing."

He looked up at Clearpool and told her firmly. "If I'm right, then this other cat we found today is Mousepaw's twin sister, the one I never found. If I'm right, then her name should be Silver."

Ooc:// Ok, I think I might remember it... ok, maybe not what I originally had, but its the best I could come up with ^^;
