Unwanted Visitors

[SHADE. :D]

Amethyststar wheeled around bleeding from various wounds along her body. She shook herself, padding back into the camp with a heavy heart. Was this her fault? She watched miserably as Beacanpaw was taken into Lunardance's den. She hoped her grandson would be alright. The small black she-cat trailed into her den, where she crouched, all that was visible of her her amber eyes in the gloom.
Scrawltale trotted after the medicine cat, worry blooming in her heart. She hoped her daughter, Sunpaw, was not too badly hurt. As she entered Lunardance's den, she licked her son's cheek. The little cat did not stir, so Scrawltale sat back to let Lunardance try to help him. In her mind she prayed he had not lost too much blood. He was so young...
"Th-thankyou," Wovenknot mewed, breathless. She wheeled around when she saw Ravencurse, bristling. "Get lost." She hurried on, ahead of her leader.
Amethyststar emerged from her den and mounted the Shaderock, eyes gleaming. She called to her clan.
Jinxdancer helped Spectrumpaw limp towards the great black rock on three legs. Then the two lay side by side. Jinxdancer glanced about for Scarletpaw, Frogpaw and Glacierpaw, her other son and daughters.

[fernie. (:]

Fernpelt sat by Beacanpaw, next to Scrawltale. Her eyes were filled with pain for the young apprentice.

Scarletpaw emerged from the shadows of the camp, bleeding from an open wound in her shoulder, her ear partly ripped off where Atroxfire had clawed her. She ran towards her mother and buried her muzzle in her fur.

[brook]

<sup>Sunpaw was not nearly as injured as her brother and she would wait until everyone else with worse wounds then she did to get checked. Her cheek had a scratch down it and her shoulder was torn from the top of it down her leg. It wasn't very deep and the bleeding had stopped flowing from it. It stung horribly when she set wait on it so she limped over to the Shade Rock and sat below it. She stared up at her Leader with weak eyes. She tried to look strong but she was tired and just wanted to rest.

Brokenpromise wasn't even there when the attack happened. He had been out hunting with Autumnwreath. He looked around wildly at the camp. Blood was everywhere and injured cats were padding to the Medicine cat den. The clearing reaked of MoonClan. He trotted over to the pile and threw the prey on it, not caring where it landed. He growled and stared around at the Clan. He trotted over to the Shade Rock and sat, waiting to hear the news.</sup>

[lonelylove :D]

ooc; crap....I was too late x$

bic; A swollen Lonelyheart tottered out of the nursery. Her face turned to horror as she saw blood and clumps of fur littering the ground of the clearing. She had been asleep, in the shadows of the nursery, so she had not been aware of the bloodshed that had just happened only minutes ago. She waddled toward Shaderock and sat down as best as she could, and waited for her leader to speak.

[/size]

[SHADE. :D]

Jinxdancer licked her daughter's cheek, purring reaassuringly at the ginger tabby apprentice. She threw a digusted look at Brokempromise and his sleek, unmarked pelt, before returning to comforting her stricken children.
Spectrumpaw squared his shoulders as Amethyststar mounted the Shaderock. He wondered what she would say. He hoped she did not plan to take revenge; a least not yet, not with this strange force snapping at their ankles. And besides, the clan needed time to recover from this attack. The grey and white apprentice nuzzled Scarletpaw, glad his sister was alright.
Scrawltale glanced at Fernpelt, remembering the tortoiseshell deputy was Beacanpaw's mentor. She turned her gaze back to her wounded son, hoping and praying for him to heal. She hoped that Sunpaw was alright and that Fennecmask was with her. The Rex wondered if Lonelyheart had been wounded; she had breifly spent time with the she-cat in the nursery. She did not care much for the white queen, but she still did not wish pain on her or especially her unborn kittens.
Amethyststar glanced at her tattered clan with sorrow clouding her amber eyes. She swept her tail in an arc to signal or silence, but not to much avial. There was already a deadly silence enveloping the camp. She began.
"MoonClan are not the clan I once knew, the clan my father once led," she began. "He was noble, strong, fierce, aggresive, yes. But clever. Firestar has no idea what she has got herself into. She and the rest of her clan, youngest to oldest, will pay for the carnage they have caused this night!" She bared her fangs in a vicious snarl.
Jinxdancer and Spectrumpaw hollered in support, raising their tails in agreement. Firestar would never get away with this act of cowardice...
"Because of this new threat," continued Amethyststar. "We must speed up the training of our apprentices. Brokenpromise will continue Scarletpaw's mentoring. Scrawltale shall begin Glacierpaw's. Razortomb will start Spectrumpaw's, and Fenncmask will train Frogpaw. Remember, we must stay strong. Those who are not too badly injured, start to repair the camp walls. Brokenpromise, take Scarletpaw and Sunpaw and patrol the borders. We don't want any MoonClan cats prowling about."
Scrawltale dipped her head and touched noses with Glacierpaw. Spectrumpaw did likewise to Razortomb, but was too exhausted to do much more except flick his tail in acceptance.

[brook]

<sup>Brokenpromise let out a snarl and spat in disgust as Amethyststar spoke of the damaged that they had done to the Clan. She commanded him to take border patrols because of his lack of wounds and injuries. He flicked his tail for Sunpaw to come over since she sat not too far away and looked around for Scarletpaw.

Sunpaw trotted over to Brokenpromise. "Hello!"she mewed,"I've never been on a border patrol before but Spicetalon has taught me to track prey. This will be sort of like that?"

Brokenpromise nodded and let out a small smile. "Come, we shall get Scarletpaw and go,"he meowed solemly and flicked his tail for Sunpaw to follow.</sup>

[razor]

_{Lunardance turned and hissed at Fernpelt, her eyes flattening against her skull. "Can you give me some space, do you want him to die?" she spat viciously before catching herself. Letting her fur lay flat she looked away from the Deputy, her voice lower. "Forgive me Fernpelt, I'm just angry at the attack" she murmured before turning back to Beacanpaw. Stretching out a paw she brought a strip of Alder towards her. Chewing it up she amde it into a mild pulp before putting it on the swollen wound. Getting the swelling to go down would make it easier, also she could stop infection. Moving around the den she pulled out some poppy seeds and placed them near Beacanpaw. It would help the painw hen teh young tom awoke. Pressing another wad of cobwebs to the wound she eased it, the redness was disapearing away. "He'll be limping for a few weks, but he'll live. She mewed it calmly while smiling at Scawltale. Dipping her ehad to the queen she carefully pulled the young cat to one of the nests. "Let him stay with me for a little bit, I'll make sure he doesn't over work it" she mewed, eyes raising for the next injured cat. Popping her head out the den she let out a yowl, this just after her Leader finished speaking. "ALL cats who are hurt coem to my den NOW I don't care how small it is, treatment will be passed around to all, I am not about to sit and watch inhections grow and more member of this Clan die" she hissed shaking one paw at the cats. Ravencurse was shivering with fury. Firestar was stupid, she'd never be like his Father was.}

[fernie. (:]

'No, you're right Lunardance. I'll go and see what needs to be done.' she got gingerly up, limping slightly on one paw.

Scarletpaw went over to the medicine cats den and sat waiting for Lunardance. Her ear was stinging though the wound wasn't bleeding any more. Her shoulder was, though, and she limped slightly.

[SHADE. :D]

Scrawltale nodded at the medicine cat, eyes shimmering with gratitude. "I can't thank you enough." The warrior padded up to her son and licked his forehead before leaving the den to find her new apprentice, Glacierpaw.
Spectrumpaw limped after his sister. He licked her shoulder, nearly toppling over on his tattered back leg. The cut on his shoulder had stopped bleeding now.

[razor]

_{Lunardance smiled and looked over to Scarletpaw as she entered, eyes drawn to the young cats shoulder. Nothing too big she saw though that nic looked like it would scar. Tilting her head she took out some more cobwebs and walked over. Pushing a poppy seed over to Scarletpaw she began to tend to the cats wound. Pressing the cobwebs onto the cats shoulder he looked at Scarletpaw. "Who where you up against?" she asked just out of mild intrest as she eyed the nasty looking soon-to-be scar on Scarletpaw's ear again. Spectrumpaw took her attention though. "My my waht happened to you" she mewed, rushing over with another poppy seed. "Mm.. running low on sobwebs" she noted to herself as she took another role of it.}

[fernie. (:]

'Umm, I can't really remember. I think it might have been Atroxfire, I'm not sure.' she shook her head, then bent down and licked up the poppy seeds. 'Is Spectrumpaw's leg going to be alright? It looks nasty.' she licked her brother's cheek as Lunardance tended to his wounds.

[razor]

_{"Atroxfire!? That psycho would have ripped you to shreds, without any mercy, hes worse than a rouge that tom is. Are you sure it was him?" she mewed, not looking up from Spectrumpaw's leg. Licking at the wound she cleansed it with her tongue.}

[fernie. (:]

'I think so... I'm not really sure though. Spectrumpaw, did you see?' Scarletpaw licked one paw and drew it over her ear several times.

[SHADE. :D]

"Big black and white thing," mumbled Spectrumpaw. He felt quesy and lightheaded. He had lost a lot of blood. "He was huge..."

[fernie. (:]

'I think it must have been Atroxfire. Spectrumpaw, you look terrible!' she said.

[razor]

_{Lunardance chewed up some herbs and pressed them over the tattered leg of Spectrumpaw. Pressing some leaves into the goo she held it in place before wrapping a role of cobwebs around it. It would sooth and heal the wounds while stopping the bleeding at the same time. Pushing around Poppy seed closer she lead Spectrumpaw over to another nest, this one close to Beacanpaw. "Mm.. Strange, that savage cat normally kills not spares." she trailed off with a shrug. "Maybe he's got some damn sense after all" she mewed with a bristle.}

[FIREH!!]

Razortomb still lay there, in a pool of blood. When he heard he was to mentor Spectrumpaw, all he could do was grunt.

Spicetalon brushed past Brokenpromise. "I'm sure I can take care of my apprentice," he growled. "Come on, sunpaw. Let's hunt and check inside the territory for Moonclan." He pushed through the clearing of cats and into the forest. He sat there and waited for his apprentice.

[SHADE. :D]

[ooc;] Amethyststar ordered Brokenpromise to take Sunpaw and Scarletpaw out...
[bic;] Spectrumpaw limped into the nest, curling up on the soft moss with his injured leg sticking out at an awkward angle. He snuffled up the poppy seeds, shifted his cobweb-swathed leg a little, then murmured a: "Perhaps," to Lunardance. He then lay his head on his paws and closed his eyes, falling into a deep sleep lulled by the poppy he had eaten.

[fernie. (:]

Scarletpaw licked her brother's cheek again. 'I'd better go. Amethyststar said that Brokenpromise was to take Sunpaw and I out on patrol.See you later!' she backed out of the den and over to Brokenpromise.
Ooc: A bit late but oh well!

[razor]

Lunardance sighed a little, checking on her patients one last time she slunk of of the den and over to Shade Rock. She needed to talk to her Leader about all these plans she was making. It would be at least three weeks before the badly injured cats would be able to fight. Also the strange prophecy was on her mind, StarClan hadn't spoken to her in over a moon, things were getting worrying.

[/center]

[SHADE. :D]

Amethyststar scented her medicine cat bfore she saw her, and lifted her head, amber eyes glazed over with weariness. For the first time in moons, she was reflecting upon her age. She hadn't just matured in moons, but in mind as well. he was not the same naive young cat she had once been. Looking up at Lunardance, she mewed: "Lnardance? Come in, come in." She knew it was the right time to confess her pregnancy to the medicine cat.

[razor]

_{Lunardance walked into Ameythststar's Den without a word her eyes drawn to her Leader's stomach for a few seconds. Amethystarstar did look rather plump, thank goodness she was eating properly again. Smiling a little she shrugged it off and sat down in front of her head, eyes grave once more. "Ameythystar, it will take roughly about two to three weeks before the Clan will be ready again, please don't issue anything drastic against MoonClan we need time to prepare. At this moment in time we don't need the extra trouble of wars anyways, The Tribe of Nightmare's is getting more powerful I can feel it. More deaths have been occurring around the Clans, I head from the other Medicine Cat's last time I went to the Moonstone." Finishing off she heaved a sight and looked at her paws.}

[SHADE. :D]

Amethyststar looked at her medicine cat with pitiful eyes. "What does it mean?" she mewed, voice quavering. She felt like a tiny kit again, taking her first pawstep out into the big wide world. She shook the feeling off. She had no time to be reminiscing now. "Have no fear, Lunardance. I do not plan to attack MoonClan for a while yet. We have bigger things to worry about," she sighed. One of these things Lunardance didn't know about, the little life-forms growing in her belly.

[razor]

_{Nodding slowly Lunardance looked at the floor. "I don't fear it, I am just confused" she mewed tilting her head to one side. After a few moments of silence she looked up at Ameythyststar. "I'm glad to see that your eating again though Amethyststar" Lunardance mused eyes on the she-cats belly again. A warm smile swept over her face though soon passed over. Straightening up she looked at the sky, eyes passing over the stars through the small clawed hole in the top of the den. "Where is Ravencurse?" she asked, taking a quick glance around camp, the tom was no where to be found.}

[FIREH!!]

ooc:// xP Whoops... Oh well... Spicey's annoyed because Broken was too late for the battle.
