THIS IS NOT A DRESS REHEARSAL!!

[SHADE. :D]

wovenknot

Her three paws thundered the ground with loud thumps. Anger and disbelief lent strength to her body. The deputy's clear blue eyes were churning with rage. She couldn't believe what the SerenityClanner had done to Cyanfeather. And he would pay. She would personally make sure that he paid. The she-cat did not hesitate at the entrance of the camp, simply streaming in, with her patrol behind her. Wovenknot looked around at the stunned SerenityClanners, some of whom had their claws out, as though expecting an attack. She narrowed her eyes. One of these cats would be the one who had done that... That awful thing to Cyanfeather. Wovenknot padded to the leaders' den. She remembered that Jasminestar was no longer here, so Clearpool would be in charge. She usually got on well with her fellow deputy, but today she would have liked nothing more than to rip her fur off. "Clearpool!" she called curtly. "We wish to speak with you!" She refused to show respect in her voice. All she could feel towards this clan was utter revulsion.

// I'm so sorry I took so long to make this thread. x___x It's set before Wovenknot had her kits. Saintcalling and Emeraldpaw are on the patrol. Sorry again.

[Spice..xx]

_Clearpool[/size]

Her eyes opened with a snap. Clearpool felt her fur raise on end as she tensed ion the warriors den, all of her senses alert. Something was wrong. Inhaling deeply, she caught the scent. MoonClan! Leaping to her paws, she went outside, in time to hear Wovenknot calling for her. The white female felt some relief when she saw it was her fellow deputy, but she was still on the alert. What could the MoonClanners possibly want so badly that they couldn't wait until the Gathering to discuss it? Eyes wary, she swiftly padded over to the patrol in her camp.

"Greetings Wovenknot. What is it you wish to talk about?" she asked the other female, her eyes sweeping over the other MoonClanners. She could feel the hostility amongst the other Clan and could have cut the tension with a knife. She glanced around quickly to make sure her warriors were there and looked about searchingly for Runningcloud. She would value the medicine cats presence and support at a time like this. Her eyes returned to Wovenknot and she kept contact with the deputy, eyes questioning yet wary. What would Jasminestar do in a situation like this?

Runningcloud

// <sub>"Wovenknot! What is the meaning of this?!"

Runningcloud's voice boomed over the clearing as she headed towards the deputy. The massive ginger she-cat scowled in displeasure at the disrespectful traipsing in of Wovenknot and her contingent of two male MoonClanners. She bowed her head to Clearpool and sat down next to her.

"What has SerenityClan done to earn such unbecoming behavior from an embassy of MoonClan?" The colossal she-cat curled her tail over her paws and gestured for the SerenityClanners to stand at ease. The three wouldn't pose a threat and she didn't smell an ambush.</sub>

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

Emeraldpaw

Emeraldpaw took up the position to the left of Wovenknot, as if to show that Moonclan was not here peacefully. He looked around at Serenityclan, determined to find the tom that had befouled his sister. He wanted to shred the tom to pieces. He stood tall next to the Moonclan deputy, glaring at Clearpool. When Runningcloud appeared, he glared at her, too. He looked at them as if it had been their fault that Cyanfeather was scarred for life.

Lightning flashes.
Thunder roars.
The deep abyss opens and
Out comes

Thunderstep

Thunderstep came out from the Warrior's Den when he smelled the arrival of Moonclanners. He looked around and found the small group of cats. He ran over, feeling the anger and hatred rolling off of the apprentice. He shrank back a bit, knowing that these cats did not come peacefully. Thunderstep faced Wovenknot. 'What is your business here? Clearpool, shall I fetch Flarewind?' He finished by looking at the temporary leader.

Playful,
Stubborn, bold
and brash.

Hurricanekit

Hurricanekit came bolting out of the nursery when he heard the sound of newcomers. He came to a halt in front of Runningcloud. He felt a friendship and trustingness from this shecat. He sat in the middle of her front paws. 'Runningcloud, what's a goin' on?' He asked curiously. He looked around at the angry Moonclanners, then shrank back further underneath Runningcloud. He wanted to know what was going on, but the warriors were frightening him. 'Runningcloud, why are they mad?' He asked, stealing terrified glances at Wovenknot from under Runningcloud.

//Brightclaw

Think you can take me?
I highly doubt it. I'm a warrior.
Born to fight and kill.
Who are you?

A tortoiseshell she-cat had been dozing by the camp entrance when all the commotion had started. Already she was on her feet and looked as though she hadn't been asleep at all, a rare thing that kept others guessing about her sleep habits.

She padded over to sit by Thunderstep, the warrior who had saved her life when a rogue cat named Poison had come in and killed Reflectionrose off. Brightclaw had been scarred on her right eye because of it, and was told by the medicine cat that it would heal soon enough. She would have a scar over the eye, but soon the vision in it would return. Until then she was temporarily blinded in the eye.

She listened as every cat around her voiced the question that was running through everyones mind. Why was the MoonClan deputy here? She glared at the MoonClan apprentice through slit eyes who seemed to be ready for a fight. Normally her glare would silence any cat around her, but with only on eye she doubted that it would affect the apprentice.

Autumn[kit]

[/color] He called in, his eyes flicking towards his sister before moving back to the MoonClanners. His eyes flicked around, looking for Petalrain, or his father. His eyes soon drifted back towards Wovenknot, Emeraldpaw and Saintcalling.

!3lizzardhawk!

[/color] Blizzardhawk mewed, her voice surprsingly filled with a more gentle emotion then what his face was telling. The white tom licked his mate's ear before slipping out of the den, glancing quickly around and spotting his oldest son. He gave a chucle with no humor before padding over and licking him on the head before padding towards the group of cats gathering behind Clearpool.

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

ooc* *scrambles to post* o.o And Blair really needs to post with Sealkit... Sequoiakit's lonely without her. ;-; And excuse my His Dark Materials referance... x)

Runningcloud turned her head to look down at little Hurricanekit, still keeping one eye on the MoonClanners. "They are angry because they believe that SerenityClan has done something to MoonClan." she answered solidly, her nearly regal tone melting away as she spoke to a kit. Turning to watch Wovenknot like a hawk, the former deputy didn't try to hide her indignation at the camp being walked into like it was free territory. Still, she was calm as more and more cats filled the clearing, her long ginger tail waving back and forth over the ground she had sworn to protect. Still, as long as they didn't attack they had no reason to seem hostile. Angry, perhaps, but hostility would get them nowhere. The seconds ticked by slowly as they awaited an answer.

xxx

Sequoiakit padded timidly from the nursery, wanting to see what the fuss was about before waking up Sealkit. To his surprise, he saw three cats carrying the scent of another Clan, one odd-looking she-cat and two toms. By the buzz that was circling around the Clan, he picked up that the threelegged she-cat was Wovenknot, the deputy of MoonClan. So why were they here? It puzzled him. But instead of going back for Sealkit, as much as he wanted her here, he stayed by the nursery: as close as he could be to his sister and still watch. They were human and dæmon: they didn't dare stray too far from eachother for too long, especially because they were kits and had the option to be together all the time.

[/blockquote]

[SHADE. :D]

wovenknot

The grey tabby she-cat watched as SerenityClan cats poured out of every den, eyes smouldering, voices questioning. She stuck her chin in the air, refusing to apologize for barging into their camp uninvited. They deserved this. The she-cat turned her head to see Clearpool had emerged from Jasminestar's old den. The threelegged tabby she-cat knew that she should ask to speak to Clearpool alone, but anger made words spill from her mouth. "I am here to speak to you about something that happened earlier today," she mewed hotly. "One of our warriors, Cyanfeather, was out hunting, when she accidentally strayed onto SerenityClan territory. She was attacked by a SerenityClan tom cat." She paused to suck in her breath, her heart thundering in her chest. "She driven off, but the tom didn't stop there." She blinked, her body quivering.

"Well, put it this way, she may soon be mothering kits she does not want," she snapped, her face contorted with anger. Wovenknot took a step back, so she was flanked by Emeraldpaw and Saintcalling, her ears were flat back, her light blue eyes demanding a reaction from Clearpool.

[x.Jolly.x]

The coldness of your green eyes
Tell me a story of sorrow.
The gentleness of your tone,
Tells me something different.

Emeraldpaw

Emeraldpaw unsheathed his claws as more warriors came up. He spat at the ground when Wovenknot mentioned his sister. He glared at them all with fury in his emerald eyes. He spoke after Wovenknot did. 'That's my sister that one of your warriors took advantage of.' He moved closer to Wovenknot as whe took a step back. It made the patrol look more willing to attack. He glared at the she-cat who was trying to glare at him. 'Didn't work.' He grunted to the warrioress. He glanced at Wovenknot, to see what would happen next.

Lightning flashes.
Thunder roars.
The deep abyss opens and
Out comes

Thunderstep

Thunderstep moved closer to Brightclaw as she came to sit near him. He still felt bad about the injuries she had received. He listened to Wovenknot, shock crossing his face. He could not believe that any one of his clanmates would do that to any other cat. He was horrified. He shook his head, trying to clear the shock and keep himself paying attention to the conversation.

Playful,
Stubborn, bold
and brash.

Hurricanekit

Hurricanekit nestled against unningcloud as she explained to him what was going on. He looked up in bewilderment after Wovenknot had spoken. 'Runningcloud, what does Wovenknot mean? And Serenityclan would never attack another clan, would we?' Doubt flickered in the young tom's light eyes. He was confused by what was going on, but was also frightened. 'Runningcloud, they scare me!' He mewed pitifully, burying his face into her front paw. He crouched in between her front paws, scared.

[/blockquote]

[SHADE. :D]

spritekit

A bright ginger tabby shape shot from the nursery. Spritekit uncurled in mid air, landing on the tips of her toes, her head raised and yellow eyes blazing. She took a couple of steps forward, lifting her paws high, her head raised importantly, but because she was not looking where she was going, tripped over a pebble. The chubby ginger tabby kitten ran to Hurricanekit and Runningcloud. She raised her chin, her tail stuck straight up, pointing at the clouds. "They don't scare me!" she mewed proudly. She marched up to the MoonClanners, her yellow eyes still bright. "You not supposeded to come here!" she mewed in the fiercest voice she could muster, her little voice rasping in her throat. She hadn't yet managed to perfect her fearsome growl'.

deerkit

A small face popped out of the nursery, mostly filled by a pair of large eyes. Deerkit stepped out of the nursery, stumbling as she went. She really didn't understand how any cat could get their paws over those brambles without tripping. She blinked rapidly as Autumnkit weaved through the crowd, her ears flat. What was going on? Deerkit followed her brother more slowly, apologizing profusely whenever she was forced to duck under somebody's legs, or clamber over their back. Soon she was stood at her brother's side. Her tail drooped and her mouth turned down in fear. She stepped closer to her brother. "Hey, Autumnkit, y'don't think they'll hurt us, d'you?" The she-cat watched the MoonClanners with wide eyes, not understanding the words in their harsh tones.

kellykit

Kellykit's wide green eyes grew indignant as several kits pushed past her on their way out of the nursery. "Excuse me!" she mewed angrily. "I am here y'know, I'm not just a bit of mossy or something!" The cream-coloured kit shook herself and padded after the other kits. Her eyes grew even rounder as she spotted the MoonClanners. Her silky nose wrinkled up, then she burst out laughing, her giggles ringing around the clearing. "Hey, hey, Sequoiakit!" she mewed, nudging up close to her brother, still laughing. "D'you..." she paused, sniggering, then started full-blown giggling again. "Aren't you glad we don't stink like them?" She rolled on the grass, clutching her stomach and hooting with laughter, not realising the seriousness of the situation.

[&&R.A.V.E.N :3]

Autumn[kit]

[/color] He muttered quietly, only for his sister's ears to hear. "If they happen to have reinforcements outside, I want you to run back to Mum, Larchkit and Adderkit. I'm not going to rick your safety because of these cat's disagreement." He mewed, his eyes burning.
[/ul][/size]

[Dansen[Mouse]]

//Brightclaw

I thought you came here looking for trouble.
I was wrong and I'll help anyway I can.
He will pay.

The tortoiseshell warrior was about to snap at the kits to get back into the nursery when she heard the reason for the MoonClan deputy coming over here. Her fur bristled and her eyes left the unaffected Emeraldpaw to scan her own Clan to see if any of the cats looked almost prideful in doing what they did. If who ever did it even smirked, Brightclaw might be able to find out who did it. The MoonClan deputy had a right to be here, now and she was with them.

Runningcloud

// <sub>A hiss slithered out of Runningcloud's throat as Emeraldpaw advanced threateningly, and her tail curled around Hurricanekit. "Step down, apprentice!" Runningcloud ordered. "I may be a medicine cat but if you dare come one step further with that threatening pose again, I'll make sure you remember who you're dealing with. Me! Wovenknot is the messenger here."

Her light-green eyes turned to Clearpool. "You should talk with her in Jasminestar's den. Try and figure out who this tom is."

Runningcloud lifted up her head and shepherded the SerenityClanners back. "Alright, everyone. Back to your posts. Clearpool's handling this!" The massive ginger she-cat leaned down to lick Hurricanekit soothingly and nudged him towards Spritekit and the other children. "You should go in the nursery, all of you." Her serious tone of voice and the stern look on the medicine cat's face told everyone that she meant business.</sub>

<sub>The white and black tom watched everyone wordlessly, not raising his maw to defend Emeraldpaw when Runningcloud scolded the apprentice. The light-green-eyed male's gaze flickered to Wovenknot and he bowed his head curtly. "We will wait here," he said quietly. His tail curled around his paws as he came to a sitting position outside the den. His eyes looked down upon Emeraldpaw. "I know you are angry but that was inappropriate. You should not have been so aggressive in a tense moment such as this." He had no scolding tone in his voice, simply a quiet emotionless one.

ooc;// Thanks for taking her, Kuri.</sub>

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

ooc* No problem ^^

Sequoiakit's nose twitched as he watched Kellykit laugh and laugh despite the tension between the older cats. He gave it too her, they did smell strange. But his mind was ever-working and somehow even considerate of these other cats. SerenityClan must have done something pretty bad for them to come barging in here like that. He shrugged his small shoulders, meowing, "Well, we'd be used to it if we lived there... I mean, they probably think that SerenityClan stinks, wouldn't they?" his mew, however quiet and high pitched, was almost melodic and musical, which was a strange thing to say about the voice of a tom but it fit him. He wasn't exactly handsome (more like cute at this age) but his voice was charming.

_Clearpool[/font]

Clearpool glanced gratefully at Runningcloud as the medicine cat stepped in and helped, if Runningcloud had been eligible for the posistion Clearpool knew she would've chosen her as deputy. But Flarewind was a noble warrior and she had faith that he would be an excellent deputy. As she heard Wovenknots words her eyes narrowed at the thought of trespassing but they changed to an expression of horror as she heard the next part. One of her toms....SerenityClan, they....No. She gulped and met Wovenknots eyes. "Come, let us talk. We will get to the bottom of this, no matter how long it takes." she growled, looking around at her Clan. "If any of you have anything to say that could help Wovenknot and I, come to Jasminestars den and say it. Any help will be much appreciated" she hollered, before leading Wovenknot into Jasminestars den and turning round to face her.

"Wovenknot, I must offer my most sincere apologies. The type of behaviour from my Clan.....Anyway, your warrioress Cyanfeather you said her name was? Yes, does she remember what the tom looked like do you know? I'm sure that would help narrow it down" she said, trying to block out the sickening feeling in the pit of her stomach. SerenityClan really was going to the dogs without Jasminestar. Maybe she just wasn't right for leader at all. Shaking herself, she looked back up to Wovenknot, the sick feeling still there.

[/sub]

[lonelylove :D]

f r e e spirit.

Freespirit skipped into camp, a smile on her face. She had just come from the Ravine, where she had ran into the small lake to cool off. The wet fur on her legs was plastered to her, making her legs appear to be skinny and stick-like. Most cats didn't like to go into water, but Freespirit didn't mind at all. It made her feel giddy, in fact.

The smile was wiped off her face when the smell of Moonclan hit her nose like a smack on the face. She uttered a low growl, and swung her head round to see if her nose was right. Freespirit saw an apprentice that reeked of Moonclan with an angry look on her face, and a quiet-looking tom close by. The tail end of Wovenknot disapeared into Jasminestar's den after Clearpool, and the carefree femme knew something was up.

Freespirit saw Brightclaw and Thunderstep, and went up to them. Hey, what's going on? How come Moonclan is here? Freespirit's cheery desposition was gone now, replaced by curiosity and seriousness.

[/size]

p e t a l rain.

Petalrain exited the warriors den, a mouse in her mouth. She had planned on eating the fresh-kill inside, in peace. But the commotion outside drew her like a moth to a light. The scent of Moonclan raised questions in the she-cat's mind. She spotted Autumnkit with the other kits by the nursery, and a smile tugged at her lips. The little scrap had grown on her a lot every since she first layed eyes on him. He was her half-brother, but she felt as though he was her little brother, whom she taught everything. They had a special bond that nothing could break.

She dropped the mouse and gave Autumnkit a lick on the top of his head, as Cherrysmoke would've done. Hey, little buddy! She saw the suspicious look on his face as he looked at the Moonclanners. Hey, I doubt they're gonna attack us. They're waaay outnumbered. They'd get clawed to scraps. She smiled a little, but the questions tugged at her. Why were they here?[/blockquote]

[Dansen[Mouse]]

//Brightclaw

The reason why?
Its awful and wrong.
Someones going to pay today.

The she-cats ears swiveled to Freespirit who had just come into the camp entrance dripping wet. The cat was always too perky for Brightclaw's taste, but she was also a decent warrior and Brightclaw respected that. She had been watching the two deputies going up into the leader den, but turned her head to Freespirit who had been left out of the news because of her swim.

"Bad news, I'm afraid." She growled, turning to look at the SerenityClan cats who were leaving the scene. "A MoonClan warrior named Cyanfeather is going to involuntarily have kits in a few moons. The father is one of our own cats but we don't know who." She started scraping the ground with her claws. "Whoever did it just decreased SerenityClan. I'll kill him if I get the chance too. No she-cat should be forced to bare another cats kits."

[/blockquote][/size] _{Ooc:// Lonely, you want Lightpaw to bring in Diskko after Wovenknot leaves?}

[lonelylove :D]

f r e e spirit.

Freespirit frowned deeply when Brightclaw spoke about the involuntary kits. Freespirit couldn't believe anyone could do that, especially someone from her clan. Even thinking about it made the femme flinch with disgust and anger. She looked round at the other random tom warriors scattered about. Who could have done this?

She finally immerged from her thoughts to respond to Brightclaw. That's horrible! It's disgusting and vile! I'll pummel the tom who did this. She growl and raked her claws through the dirt. She began to mumble. No respect for anyone... How could this happen?...

[/size][/blockquote]

[SHADE. :D]

wovenknot

The threelegged grey tabby faced the SerenityClan leader, her light blue eyes now the only part of her body betraying her anger. She did not move from between Saintcalling and Emeraldpaw. She did not even move to scold Emeraldpaw for his disrespect. There were more pressing matters to deal with. Wovenknot scanned the crowd, her blue eyes lingering on every tom in the camp. She wondered if it was one of them, and of so, which one. She nodded curtly at Clearpool's words, and padded into her den after her. As Saintcalling spoke, she twisted around, nodding to him. "Thankyou." Before she was swallowed by Clearpool's den, she heard Saintcalling quietly scolding Emeraldpaw. The deputy sat opposite Clearpool, her ears twitching a little. She nodded at the white she-cat's words. She could see the disgust in Clearpool's face, and a grain of sympathy pushed it's way into her heart. Clearpool really didn't need this right now. But it was soon washed away by a fresh tide of anger.

"She described him as a large tabby," she mewed. The she-cat looked at her paws for a moment, then looked back up at Clearpool. "I want to see some action, Clearpool," she mewed, eyes narrowed. "This will not be forgotten quickly. And you do not want to make an enemy of MoonClan."

deerkit

Deerkit blinked at her brother. She wondered why he was so... Protective over her. He wasn't like that with Larchkit and Adderkit. Was it normal? She didn't mind. It was just bit like having a smaller version of her father constantly hanging over her. Feeling safer, she leant against her brother's solid frame. The silver tortoiseshell eyes narrowed very slightly as Petalrain appeared. She didn't think much of her older sister, not yet, anyway. She always seemed to be pandering around Autumnkit. It was like she, Adderkit and Larchkit dif not exist. Deerkit turned to pad back to her brothers. She squeaked as Runningcloud's large shape appeared near her, and fled. The medicine cat's size scared her. She saw how at-ease Hurricanekit was with the she-cat, but she still shuddered.

[/size]

[Spice..xx]

_Clearpool[/size][/font]

Clearpool nodded at the first part of Wovenknots sentence, wracking her brai for the dark pelted toms in her Clan. As she heard Wovenknot speak next a soft hiss escaped her thorat and her beautiful clear eyes narrowed. "I am not incompetent Wovenknot. You think I just sent this tom out, with the intentions of him to impregnate one of your Clan? I think not. I don't plan on making enemies with anyone and this will get sorted" she said curtly, before turning to go back outside. "Well, what would you like to do? Speak to all the tabby toms, I can think of a pawful, most of whom i would never think would......well, do that. We can see what they all have to say for themselves, unless you have a better idea?" she said, turning to look at Wovenknot searchingly, her cleasr blue eyes still unrelaxed.

[ooc]The tabby toms I have are Lightningstorm, Octoberlies, Timbersmoke and Brokencalling, have i missed anyone?[/sub]

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

While Kellykit was laughing, Sequoiakit had noticed Deerkit. The young she-kit was one the ones he had watched scarf down her mother's milk back in the nursery. She had grown. He blinked in a confused manner when she jumped away from Runningcloud. Why be afraid of a cat who was so gentle with kits? Was Deerkit really afraid of the Clan medicine cat? Perplexed, he glanced around before padding timidly over to the she-kit.

At first, he had no idea how to speak to her. It was as if his tongue had melted away. Sealkit had always introduced them, she had always been the talkative one who liked to show off her scar and let Sequoiakit quietly finish all her peppy starts to sentances. He almost purred; they were so different and yet so simaler that they were almost the same entity. "You don't need to be afraid of Runningcloud," he murmured, his voice even, flowing out like cold water over rocks. He had no idea how charming he could be as a warrior, if he ever made an attempt to be charming in his life at all. "She might be big, but..." he closed his eyes, thinking, trying to find words to explain the she-cat who had saved both his and Sealkit's lives, words to explain the medicine cat who had saved countless cats from heartbreak by simply doing what she was trained for. "... she's a gentle cat." He didn't remember what it was like being seperated from his sister, but he knew she had done it skillfully. "She can save cats from things that look fatal. It's almost magic," he cracked a little smile, just enough to show her that there was no reason to shy away from the massive she-cat.

Emeraldpaw

'Well, what do you expect me to do? Oh, Clearpool, my sister was abused but I'm okay with it! Continue on your day! I want to meet that tom and congratulate him on being a new father! No. I don't think so. She's my sister. You have to understand that.' Emeraldpaw stared at Saintcalling as he sat down.He waited for saintcalling to retort. He lookd back at Runningcloud and glared at her.

Thunderstep

Thunderstep moved closer to Brightclaw to make sure she was okay. 'It's disgusting, isn't it?' He mewed to Brightclaw. He was disgusted at this tom.

Stubborn, bold

Hurricanekit

Hurricanekit looked up at Runningcloud. 'Okay, I'll go with Spriticus! See ya, Runnily!' He scampered off to his sister with his tail in the air. Emeraldpaw had scared him, and he was happy that Runningcloud was there. He felt safer with her around. He went up to Spritekit. 'Come on, Spriticus! Let's go see Crocuspool! Maybe she'll know a good game for us to play!' He got excited as he talked to his sister. A new game to play! Yay!

<sub>The solemn black and white tom kept silent, his tail flicking side to side faintly. He inhaled deeply. "Just because you have been wronged doesn't mean you go off. You're getting angry at the wrong cat," Saintcalling said quietly. His gaze shifted from straight ahead to down to Emeraldpaw, the stone look matching the tom's emotionless expression.

ooc;// Who is Brokencalling...and when the DeathClan is Blair coming back?</sub>

[Dansen[Mouse]]

Ooc:// Brokencalling is my cat, and since no one wants to adopt him I guess I'll keep him for now.

And Blair is due back any day now, she said she would be back on two days before school starts. I wonder whats holding her up?

[SHADE. :D]

spritekit

Spritekit sauntered away from the MoonClan cats, Saintcalling and Emeraldpaw, satisfied that she had intimidated them fully. The chubby ginger tabby puffed out her chest and waddled up to Runningcloud and Hurricanekit, as the medicine cat placed her brother down beside her. "Runningcloud, Runningcloud, I did a good job scaring the meanies, didn't I? Didn't I? I did!" The tabby squirmed happily. She turned to look at Hurricanekit as he spoke. "Good idea, Hurricanamus!" She raced after him, humming under her breath for dramatic effect. Spritekit stopped suddenly as she entered the nursery, her paws skidding on the soft mossy bedding. "Mummy! Mummy!" she yowled. "I scareded the mean big cats that smell icky! So can you tell us a game now, please Mummy? We did good work, just like big strong warriors, Mummy!" Spritekit put her fat forepaws on her mother's sleek tortoiseshell flank.

crocuspool

Crocuspool lay in the nursery, her head on her paws. She had felt weak since giving birth to her kits, and every day it had been getting worse. Today she felt terrible. The tortoiseshell buried her muzzle in her white forepaws. She didn't even have the energy to fetch Spritekit and Hurricanekit as they raced out of the nursery. She rasped her tongue over Clockkit and Fablekit's backs. She was a terrible mother. Crocuspool wondered briefly what the fuss outside was about, but after raising her head for a moment, felt it begin to swim so let it fall on her paws again. The tortoiseshell blinked opened her green eyes as she heard the loud, piping voices of her hyperactive son and daughter. "Oh, I don't know, my dears," she mewed wearily. "Why don't you go and ask Auntie Musicdrift, or Cherrysmoke?"

Runningcloud

// _{Her stern visage trembled a bit and then broke as Spritekit spoke up. "Yes, thank you for defending SerenityClan, O Great Spriticus," she said softly. She followed the kits inside and stretched a bit, running her tongue over Hurricanekit's ear before he scampered away playfully. Runningcloud smiled lovingly at the rambunctious kits' backs and looked away, leaning against the nursery entrance.}

Hurricanekit followed his sister into the nursery. He looked at Crocuspool. 'Crocuspool? You feeling okay?' He asked, prodding her. He heard her words. He turned to Spritekit excitedly. 'C'mon! Runnily followed us! I know cuz she licked my ear before I followd you! C'mon! She'll know a good game to play!' Before waiting for Spritekit's answer, he burst out of the nursery. He skidded to a stop. 'Runnily, do you know any good games for us? Or maybe a story? Oh! Can you tell us one from when you were deputy? Those are my favourite!' He ran around in circles, waiting for her to respond to his question.

Runningcloud

// <sub>Runningcloud blinked as Hurricanekit ran up and prodded her. "A story? Sure...I suppose I could tell you one," she said softly. "It's been such a long time, Hurricanekit. I don't know if I remember all of it." She laughed hollowly, feeling a bit old.

"I'll tell you how I became medicine cat though. I remember that. Is that story okay?" She smiled and looked down at the little tom.</sub>

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

Hurricanekit

Hurricanekit was almost bursting with excitement. 'That's perfect! Tell us that one, please? Wait. Could you check up on Crocusool? She doesn't seem right. Then can you tell us a story?' He asked, concern filling him for a moment then it passed. He was excited again. He sat down, then got back up. He bounced around, waiting for Spritekit and Runnigncloud.

Runningcloud

// <sub>"Sure baby," she said gently.

The massive she-cat got onto her paws and entered the nursery. "Crocuspool?" She looked around and spotted the she-cat, greeting the younger with a smile. Runningcloud sat down in front of her.

"Hurricanekit said you didn't look well. Something you want to talk about?" By the look of Crocuspool, she didn't look sick...simply depressed. Runningcloud figured that if the she-cat got some things off her chest, she'd feel better.</sub>
