Vinepaw carefully made her way out of the camp tunnel into the damp, moonlit forest. She smiled, knowing the rain would wash away the scent of her and her siblings. The camp sentry, Berryleaf, looked as if she was dozing on duty but the tiger striped apprentice knew the real truth. The tortoiseshell warrior was only dozing to act like she was oblivious to the apprentices sneaking out to meet up with their older siblings. The only way Vinepaw knew that she was faking it was the constant twitching of her ears as she waited for the apprentices to leave.

The tiger-like apprentice had been worried at first that the rain would keep them in the camp and they would miss the meeting but as soon as it stopped she knew that it would hide the scents of them ever leaving camp. Vinepaw knew that her brother and sister would be along shortly. She had told them to wait a minute before following her just to be on the safe side so if someone brought her back into the camp then only she would get in trouble with their dad.

Ever since she had been meeting up with her older brother she has started becoming less and less fearful of their father and she knows that the plan can't be discovered before time. Better for it to just be her getting in trouble then everyone. Her tail lashed back and forth, where were her brothers?

. Eveningpaw .
. Sacrifice, false pretense, you'll hurt again .

Pain tingled in the black and gold fae's pelt for that morning her father had given her an impossible task and when she came back with prey that could only feed her and her siblings he lit her pelt on fire. She had quickly agreed to come with her sister to meet up with their older siblings for she wanted the burning to stop, she wanted to keep her skin away from the fire. Her scorching golden orbs had opened when her sister left then closed again when she noticed Berryleaf. After a while she opened her golden eyes and got to her paws not seeing if her white brother was following or not, she made her way out of the den and quickly across the camp and out of the entrance. She found Vinepaw after that while making her way around the beginning of the forest, her scrawny body shaking in fear that her father would appear from thin air and bring the fire against her pelt again.

Slipping out of the den, the slim white tom crept across the clearing. His short fur was bristled, and he turned his wide head to make sure Berryleaf wasn't going to trap them at the last moment. Quickly, Viperpaw padded after his siblings. They were going to see Raincatcher! He knew that that should make him feel happy, or at least anxious for justice to be dealt. But the tom knew that if Windystorm found out, there would be trouble. He twitched one of his long ears as he caught up with Vinepaw and Eveningpaw. Dark red blood clots stained the pale peach skin, a result of abuse earlier that day. He dug his claws into the earth and pressed his white pelt against Vinepaw's. "Alright, let's go."

His gaze turned to the forest spreading before them, and the tom winced. What if everything failed? What if somehow, Windystorm knew. His gaze flickered back to the opening of the camp, where he could just make out Berryleaf's figure. Nervous, the white tom trembled.

The apprentice watched as Eveningpaw made her way out of the camp first. Vinepaw signaled with her tail where she was. As the two waited for Viperpaw, Vinepaw pressed up close to her sister, knowing that she must be afraid of their father finding out. Moments later Viperpaw appeared from the entrance and with one last look at the camp entrance, the she-cat led the way.

"We'll be meeting Raincatcher by the edge of the territory." Vinepaw mewed in a low tone, her ears never stopped scanning for any other cats stalking the undergrowth.

. Eveningpaw .
. Sacrifice, false pretense, you'll hurt again .

Eveningpaw pressed up against her sister as she did to her, she could feel the warmth of her sisters tabby pelt against her black and gold. Her golden orbs widened as she saw a white shape coming from the entrance, her scrawny body stopped tensing when she noticed it was her brother, Viperpaw. The fire burned fae nodded once as her shaky limbs followed after Vinepaw, the small fae stayed low to the ground as if she was stalking prey that frightened her. She followed her siblings towards the EclipseClan territory where they were meeting Raincatcher, their savior.

Windystorm

Windystorm woke up in the warrior's den. He padded out of the den and stretched. Just then, he noticed the apprentices' scent lingering, as if they had just left. He peeked into the apprentice den and noticed that Vinepaw, Eveningpaw and Viperpaw were missing. He backed out of the den and went over to Berryleaf, who was apparently dozing. 'Berryleaf! Wake up! Did you see my kits leave? Well?' He went all up in her face. He hissed at her when she didn't answe right away.

[SHADE. :D]

vermillionpaw

// Jolly said I could post here with Vermilliers, too. ^^

The red tabby tom padded after his sisters and brother, his white paws thudding the grass. His chest began to heave as they increased their pace. He had never had as much stamina as the average apprentice. He drew in a wheezy breath, frustration pooling in his chest. He waited, tail lashing. After regaining his breath, Vermillionpaw hurried on, skinny frame shaking slightly. As he spotted the pelts of Vinepaw, Eveningpaw and Viperpaw up ahead. "Sorry," he panted. "Sorry." The tom stood still for a moment, catching his breath. He couldn't wait to meet Raincatcher. Seeing his older brother reassured him. Not that he needed to be reassured... He was no longer a kit. Not that he had needed reassuring then, either, but...

[x.Jolly.x]

Rain,
It tortures me.
My father named me,
My father ruined me.

Raincatcher

Raincatcher padded through Eclipsecan territory, Wavedancer not far behind him. He wondered whether Vinepaw would show tonight. Suddenly, he stopped. He was near the border now and he stopped to listen. He heard a very faint 'Sorry!' so he started to get anxious. He wasn't sure if it was Vinepaw or not. He paced back and forth and waited for his sibling to arrive. Unknown to him, Vermillionpaw, Viperpaw and Eveningpaw were all coming too.

Raincatcher stopped pacing. He could have sworn that he caught a scent. It smelled like... Vinepaw! She must be close! He thought to himself excitedly. He started to pace again and waited for her to show up.

'Hm... this is kind-of cozy.' The tortoiseshell thought as she almost dozed of when a warrior yowled in her face. She bared her teeth as she opened up her eyes and looked up at Windystorm who was a little too close to her. She knew that she couldn't let him go after the apprentices so she first yawned like she really had been asleep.

"You knew, its really rude to wake up a she cat like that. Its a wonder on how you got a mate in the first place." She then tasted the air and acted like she was surprised when the scent of his unlucky kits hit her. But then it was stil damp out from the rain so you coundn't really tell if it was only one of them or all of them. "Well then how about you stay here and I'll go find the kits." she offered, knowing that he would decline, though. She just hoped he was tired enough to stay.

Viperpaw nodded in relief as Vinepaw said to go. Sticking close to his tortoiseshell sister, the white tomcat kept his eyes peeled for signs of Windystorm. His heart palpitated in his chest, rapidly contracting and expanding with each unseasy breath. He shivered once more and padded faster, muscles lean under his thick pelt. He opened his mouth to taste the air, and at once two scents hit him. Vermillionpaw and Raincatcher. The white tom stopped, nudging his siblings to go on ahead. He licked Vinepaw's shoulder, casting her one more reassuring glance as he padded back towards Vermillionpaw.

Expecting himself to get angry at his red and white sibling, the steely glint in Viperpaw's eyes vanished as he neared Vermillionpaw. "Don't apologize," he said curtly, nudging his brother's shoulder. "Let's go, c'mon."

_{It was at that point that the tom woke up, his pale-green eyes glaring at Windystorm. He couldn't take it anymore. Alderthorn pulled himself away and barked out, "Why don't you leave them alone, Windystorm. I think you abuse them enough already." He lowered his head, narrowing his eyes even more once that defiant stage was placed down. The white and black tom neared the other and growled, pushing past him to head out. He'd have to go find Vermillionpaw.}

Windystorm

Windystorm turned from Berryleaf and glared at Alderthorn. 'Come here, warrior.' He stuck his paw out, claws unsheathed, and made to pull the tom back. 'That's no way to talk to a senior warrior. You will learn soon enough that talking like that to me will cost you so much. Come, let's go for a little... walk.' A smik crossed Windystorm's face as e thought of what he was about to do. Alderthorn was not about to forget him. Never. Windystorm was going to make him pay for trying to command him to do something.

_{He turned around and glared at Windystorm, unsheathing his claws. "What are you gonna do to me, you pervert?" the tom growled, lowering his body defensively. "Look here, creep. You're nothing but a coward and that's what you'll always be. No one but insecure low-lifes like you abuse their kids. Vermillionpaw and the others haven't done anything to you." He headbutted the older tom, conveying to him to back off. "Go away!" He turned away and headed off into the woods. He wasn't scared of him.}

Windystorm

Windystorm ignored what the cat aid to him. He waited for him to leave, then followed him. 'You are gonna wish that you never existed, Aldeythorn!' As he was following Alderthorn, he noticed the scents of his kits. Thhey were close together. He growled to himself. They are going off without my permission? I will go after them after I have dealt with this tom.

Windystorm caght up to Alderthorn in a wide clearing. He pounced and landed on the young cat, iming to pin him down. 'You are going to take that back. You are going to remember from now on that you will never mess with me. I will kill you if you ever ce near me again. That's a promise.' He let the tom back up, but was still facing him.

<Berryleaf>~

[/right][/font][/color]

The tortoiseshell cat watched as Alderthorn pushed out. She hoped that Windystorm would go back to his den but horror passed through her as he followed the tom. Berryleaf wanted to follow but she couldn't leave her post. She had to warn him... but it was too late. The two were already heading away. She looked up at StarClan but couldn't see them through the clouds. Still she sent up a silent plea. 'Keep them safe.'

~{Vinepaw}~

[/left][/font][/color]

Vinepaw stopped in her tracks as she heard someone behind them. Some other warriors were out. The sound was leading away but she had to check to see if it was him looking for them. If it was she knew that she would have to try and lead him away.

"Viperpaw, I have to check on something." she told him, not wanting them to worry. "Follow this path to the edge of the border. Our brother should be waiting to meet with us. Lead Eveningpaw and Vermillionpaw to there. I'll join you as soon as I can."

~Wavedancer~

[/right][/font][/color]

Wavedancer had gotten worried about the apprentices since they were late. She was normally a patient cat but with the risk of them meeting Wavedancer was on end. She felt like one wrong move and she would go crazy. She wondered how close to the camp she was when she caught scent of the apprentices scent relieved. She must have just missed them. The spotted warrior was about to set back when she heard her fathers voice and someone else was with him, clearly not happy either.

She had to find out who it was and what her father was going to do. She just hoped she wasn't going to be too late for it.

Alderthorn

^{He toppled to the ground and let out a snarl, turning around and kicking at Windystorm. "You think I'm scared of you?" A derisive laugh crept out of him as the other tom let him up. "Think again, Windystorm." He shook himself off and hissed, unsheathing his claws again. "Do that again, and I swear you'll have a fight on your paws."}

[x.Jolly.x]

Windystorm

Windystorm seethed as the cat still would not crack. 'You want a fight? Well, you got one!' Seasoned warrior against new warrior, Windystorm thought he could get to Alderthorn easily. He pounced again and lashed his claws out to rip across the fur. Windystorm landed next to Alderthorn. 'I'm gonna kill you!' He hissed at the younger cat. 'No one interferes with mkits except me!' With that, Windystorm lashed his claw across Alderthorn's nose.

_{He backed up as claws flew past him. He blinked and lowered his head, narrowing his eyes as the blow swung over his head. "No one should interfere with them except for them and those who look out for their well-being!" he roared, dipping to Windystorm's side and attempting to dig his nails hard into the older male's shoulders and legs. Though he was younger and his blows less experienced, Alderthorn was as fast as a whistle and he could be fierce when he wanted to be. With his fur on end, he launched an assault on the tom who hurt his friend.}

Viperpaw didn't quite manage to hear the sounds of the cats behind him, but he knew something was wrong when he felt Vinepaw stiffen. Nodding as she spoke, the tom licked her shoulder sadly. Brushing his pelt against hers, he turned to Vermillonpaw and Eveningpaw. His amber eyes were dim with sorrow as Vinepaw disappeared behind him. He flicked his siblings onwards with his tail, Raincatcher's scent becoming even cleared. He took a few steps forward and then began walking a brisk prace, confident that his siblings would follow him. He hoped Vinepaw would be all right. The two were close, and Viperpaw didn't know what he would do if he got hurt. He turned his head to make sure Vermillonpaw and Eveningpaw were following him. "Alright, let's go," he mewed.

Then he burst through the bracken and found himself staring into the eyes of a far larger cat. Taking a step backwards, Viperpaw fell into a submissive crouch. His voice was ragged as he mewed. "...Raincatcher!"

[x.Jolly.x]

Rain,

Raincatcher

Raincatcher watched as Wavedancer left to find the apprentices. 'Be careful!' He called after her. Suddenly, there was a rustle. He looked to his left as a solitary cat emerged. The cat backed up, then he heard his name. Raincatcher recognized the tom. 'Viperpaw!' He padded up to the tom and nodded kindly. He looked around and smelled two more cats. It seemed, though, that one had left. 'Viperpaw, where did Vinepaw go? Did Windystorm get to her?' He mewed anxiously. He waited for an answer as he stared at the tom.

. Eveningpaw .
. Sacrifice, false pretense, you'll hurt again .

Eveningpaw stopped in her tracks and turned her black and gold head, her soot coloured nose took in a deep breath of air while her mouth parted and she did so that way as well. She could scent her father and another warrior, she thought she could scent blood but her mind would not transfer it. She wanted to know who the other warrior was but Vinepaw had told her to stay with her brothers, when she started to follow them again she remembered who's scent that was, 'Alderthorn!' Eveningpaw turned her scorching gold eyes back towards where she could finally hear voices. The black and gold fae turned on the ball of her paws with her should be beautiful eyes wide with fright. She wasn't going to let the newly made warrior die of her fathers blows and bites. Eveningpaw stood in one spot trying to find out a way to help but she couldn't find one, her black and gold paws scraped at the ground in frustration and depression. Her sister was going to die too.

Windystorm

Windystorm snarled at the tom as he tried to defend himself against the teeth and claws of the younger tom. Suddenly, he caught Eveningpaw's scent. 'Go home, Eveningpaw, or you're next!' He let out a huge snarl and whipped back to Alderthorn. He pinned down the cat and swooped down to perform the killing bite. 'You don't know how to protect young cats, Alderthorn, since you seem to not be able to keep yourself alive!' With that he went down for the killing bite on the throat.

The wide-headed white tom took in deep breaths as he stared up at Raincatcher. He licked his chest slowly, unsure of what to do. He looked down at the ground, unwilling to reveal anything about Vinepaw. His amber gaze flickered back and forth from Raincatcher and Vermillonpaw. Eveningpaw had darted back through the trees, and now Viperpaw has having doubts. He turned to Vermillonpaw, digging his claws into the ground nervously. "S-She went back to c-check on something," Viperpaw breathed out shakily. He wasn't used to being so insecure. In the apprentice den, he was a bully and a brat. Out here in the wild, he was scared and nervous. "Raincatcher... I'm worried... W-Windystorm.."

The white tom stared up at Raincatcher, pleading for him to understand. He let out a slight gasp, sucking in a deep breath of air as he thought about Vinepaw. Was she alright? Viperpaw had never wanted to get this close to someone, but he hadn't been able to stop himself. Why hadn't he stopped Vinepaw from going back? The tom winced. "W-what if he does something to h-her? He always does..."

Alderthorn

<sup>"Eveningpaw, run~!" The black and white tom roared, losing his focus on Windystorm. Such a fatal flaw.

Pale-green eyes widened and he froze, swallowing audibly. His throat bubbled with blood as breath escaped him. Alderthorn's ears bent back and he toppled to the ground, staring up hauntingly at Windystorm. His eyes rolled back, lids open and limbs flopping like a dead fish's before stilling. The tom was dead.</sup>

. Eveningpaw .
. Sacrifice, false pretense, you'll hurt again .

Eveningpaw darted forward through the bushes before she heard Windystorm's venomous threat, she saw Alderthorn on the ground under her fathers paws with blood on his pelt. The black and gold fae couldn't translate what the younger male was saying before she watched him die. To her it seemed like slow motion and for the first time in moons tears pricked at the corners of her scorching gold eyes. 'No!' Her words sounded like a choked wail as she finally started running but not in the direction her father would have intended her to run. Her thin limbs sprinted toward the EclipseClan border but not where her siblings stood, she kept running down the border until she finally collapsed half in the BrightClan side and the other half in the EclipseClan side. Tears streamed down her face as her eyes shut under soot black lids, the picture of Alderthorn's dead body from her mind.

xx Had she just seen right? Flicking her ears forward, Venomstrike moved through the underbrush, her acid-green eyes staring at Windystorm. She had seen right! There, at the tom's paws, was Alderthorn. Dead. Anger seethed through her, and the dappled she-cat emerged out of the brush. "How dare you." Her eyes flashed, as Venomstrike walked forward, the anger apart from how she was glaring at the senior warrior. He was not going to get away with this. "How dare you kill Alderthorn! What did he ever do to you, Windystorm? Hm? What made him tick you off so bad that you just had to kill him?" Her voice was raised high, as if she wanted everyone within BrightClan to hear what she was ranting on about. Windystorm had killed Alderthorn. HER Alderthorn. The one who had been so kind to her, so accepting of how she was. And yet, there he lay, with his eyes open. Tears stung the pretty warrioress' eyes, as she stared at the cat who had killed him. "He probably didn't do anything but live, and you just get off on hurting him. You sick creature. I don't understand how you can live, knowing what you have just done." She raved like a mad lunatic, her tail lashing behind her body. Oh, how she hated, no, LOATHED this tom in front of her. Claws unsheathed, and she looked about ready to pounce on the tom. Revenge was always sweetest. No, she would be more civilized than that. She wouldn't attack him.

Her muscles unclenched, and her eyes narrowed even more, so it looked like she was trying to get herself to become cross-eyed. "I hope you die and burn, Windystorm. You don't deserve to walk with StarClan with the things you have done." With that, she picked grabbed Alderthorn by the scruff, grief clinging on the inside of her. "Do what you want, but do realize this: you are crowfood. The Clan will hear about this!" She pulled the body of Alderthorn behind her, trying very had to make sure she got him back to camp. They had to know what Windystorm did... they had to. And as she pulled his body, tears streamed down her face, saddness washing through her.

~Wavedancer~

[/right][/font][/color]

The spotted she-cat silently pulled Eveningpaw back into the bushes. She didn't see Windystorm attack Alderthorn, but seeing the body and blood on his claws she knew what had happened and she knew what might happen to Eveningpaw if the apprentice stood around but she knew that if she didn't do something fast, that other she-cat was going to be killed too.

"Eveningpaw. Run. Get back to Raincatcher now. I'm your sister, Wavedancer, and you know that Windystorm isn't going to let you live after seeing all that." The she-cat turned her head back to just barely look over the bushes at their father.

Ooc:// Hm... well now Vinepaw can't come... unless she takes the blame for Eveningpaw and tell her dad it was her standing their, not Eveningpaw o.o -puts plot cap on-

and it's when the contours of society break and d r o w n

Covered in the stench 0f fox dung, the sticky grey tom padded wearily back to back. He was wet all over from washing himself. He had rolled in fox dung to disguise Rainbowspirit's scent, and now the grey tom couldn't scent anything else. He expected to go back normally to camp and curl up into his moss nest, but circumstance got in the way. He was about to trot down the hollow opening when he caught a glance of Windystorm. Hurridly, the tom took a couple steps backwards. He didn't know Windystorm very well, but he knew that the tom was mean. He knew that the tom would want to know why Floodgate had been out of camp in the middle of the night. But the fox clogged up his scent glands, and Floodgate couldn't smell the scent of blood or of death. He couldn't scent that Venomstrike had carried of Alderthorn's body, or that Eveningpaw and Wavedancer were hiding in the bushes. No, the grey tom could only scent himself. So he relied on his sight. And the only thing he could was that Windystorm was awake.

Turning around and darting back into the forest, Floodgate promptly bumped in Vinepaw. Questions raced through his head, but the warrior ignored them. He knew Windystorm wasn't the best father to Vinepaw and her siblings, and he didn't want Vinepaw to be punished for being out of camp. Honestly, what was going on tonight? "Vinepaw," Floodgate hissed hurridly, hoping she wouldn't question him being out here. "I don't know why you're out at nigh', but Windystorm's waitin' back at camp so you need t' take the way around camp an' sneak in the back. I'll come with you if you want. In case he finds you."

Windystorm

Windystorm backed away from Alderthorn's lifeless body. He had never meant to kill the tom. When Venomstrike came out and basically yelled at him, he just sat there, dumbfounded. Then she left, carrying Alderthorn's body. Suddenly, he heard a rustle and turned, catching the scent of an Eclipseclanner. Windystom thought quickly. He could blame the death on this Eclipseclanner. Then the scent caught him. Wavedancer. He called out in his low voice, 'Wavedancer, come here.' He waited for her to show herself. He was unaware of Eveningpaw, though.

ooc;; Okay, listen. Windystorm is in a clearing away from the camp. Also, there were to be no witnesses expect for the choice few. Okay?

[Dansen[Mouse]]

~Wavedancer~

[/right][/font][/color]

She knew what he wanted. She knew he was going to blame everything on her. She knew that he was also most likely going to attack her just so she could claw him but at the moment she didn't care. If she could end it all tonight, kill him now she her siblings would be free of his wrath she was going to do it. Risk everything for her family even if it might mean the worst for her.

She took one step after another and came out of the bushes, hackles raised, tail lashing, and teeth bared. She was prepared to pounce on him but she had to know why. "Why. Why did you do it? You killed that warrior and for what? Your a monster and you deserve to die."

With that Wavedancer pounced, her claw unsheathed as she hoped for them to meet with her fathers flesh.

~{Vinepaw}~

Vinepaw froze stiff as she heard something coming through the bushes. She hoped that it wasn't her father even though that was the whole plan if he was following her and the others. She prepared herself for the worse when the smell of fox dung hit her and she backed away as Floodgate appeared in the bushes. She tried to hold in her laughter as his fur stuck out everywhere and he stunk worse then crowfood.

She almost asked him what he was doing out here when he suddenly told her about her father. She knew that he was following them but when he told her where he was she realized that he must have tried to follow them and failed or something because he was going in the wrong direction. The others would be safe from him. She hoped. For now she had no choice but to return to camp with Floodgate unless she was ready to tell him everything. "Ok, lets go."
