Looking for Beacankit

[fernie. (:]

Fernpelt stuck her head through the nursery entrance. 'Beacankit?' She called softly.

[SHADE. :D]

The kit opened his huge blue eyes, and looked about. Had he heard somecat call his name? He swivelled his large, bat-like ears and sniffed cautiously. He hoped it wasn't his father; he stank of blood from the rogue attack. The kit got unsteadily to his frail paws and smiled. "Fernpelt! he purred.

[fernie. (:]

'I just came to see how you were getting on. How old are you Beacankit?' Fernpelt wondered whether she would get an apprentice soon.

[SHADE. :D]

Beacankit perked up a little and padded over to the deputy. He sat beside her, his skinny little body tiny compared to the deputy's much bigger one. He looked up at her. "Four... No... Five... Three... Five Moons," he mewed.

[fernie. (:]

Fernpelt gave a mrrow of laughter. 'I'm sure your mother knows. How is your mother, anyway?' Fernpelt asked the kit, aware of how down the she- cat had been the other day.

[SHADE. :D]

"Ok..." the kit mewed. I think she's OK."
The kit scratched his head with a small bronz-coloured paw, then placed the same paw on top of one of Fernpelt's. His tiny foot was less than a quarter of the size of her's.

[fernie. (:]

Fernpelt curled her tail around the small kit. She had grown to love him as she would her own son. 'When you're an apprentice I'll have to take you hunting and show you the forest, even if I'm not your mentor.' Fernpelt looked at Beacankit with affection.

<sub>Aspenkit watched from deep back in the den, his dark green-brown eyes glowing through the shadows. The side of his head drummed with pain as a headache began to throb there, his gaze when slightly fuzzy for a second causing him to shake his muzzle in mild pain. The pain however wasn't going away, it began to heighten, causing his eyes to role slightly. He let out a silent choked mewed and fell over. A tiny stream of moonlight cracked through the bracken of the nursery and lit up his shivering form. "As the last leaf of Aspen falls, terror will rise, danger will call.. the kit of bats will be taken away, not to live another day" the hissed prophecy broke out across the den before a loud screech of horror broke out. Aspenkit stilled, his jaws stretched wide in a scream of horror as his breathing trailed slowly off.

ooc; Aspenkit is going to be taken by the Tribe. ^^</sub>

[fernie. (:]

OOC: Aaahh!!! Okay then... is Aspenkit dead or just like unconcious?

BIC: Fernpelt leapt up and pelted over to see if Aspenkit was breathing.

OOC: Sorry, crap post.

[SHADE. :D]

Beacankit scowled. He hated it when his brother stealed his limelight like this. He marched over the motionless bundle of fur and poked him sharply.

[razor]

<sub>ooc; He's dead, wasn't that poem just nifty. ^^

The force of the poke he received from his brother sent Aspenkits head lolling back. His wide horror filled eyed where glazed over and his fangs where bared in fear. His body was limp, emotionless, nothing but his fur moved in the breeze.
There was suddenly a loud thunder yowl heard from back in camp and the lithe cat came barrelling into the Nursery, his fur which was as black as night rippled slightly, his big green eyes wide with fear. "Where is Aspenki-" he began to shout before he trailed off, eyes fixed on the dead kitten, lit up by a band of eerie moonlight.</sub>

[fernie. (:]

Fernpelt looked on in shock. 'Wha-how-he was fine a minute ago! He seemed to have a fit or something and he just... died.'
OOC: Yush, very nifty!

[lonelylove :D]

ooc; Yes, nifty

bic; Moonmist had been awoken by the scream of Aspenkit and shot out of the warriors den like an adder. She ran toward the nursery and braked at the entrance. Her jaw fell open when she saw his dead body.

What happened?,

She cried.
The sight of the body made her heart go out to the dead kit.


Lonelyheart slunk out of the den more slowly than Moonmist. When she arrived, she just sighed.

Animals die everyday. This is one of those deaths. It´s something that you shouldn´t react to, at least horribly, anyway.

She slowly walked away, actually feeling a twing of sadness for the kit.
So unusual.

_{Ravencurse swung round, his hackles raised as he glared at Fernpelt. "What do you mean it just died, you didn't even care, your a rubbish deputy, you don't even care for the cats of your clan" he barked at her, spitting. He turned round and flashed past Moonmist, standing over the dead kit.
"As the last leaf of Aspen falls, terror will rise, danger will call.. the kit of bats will be taken away, not to live another day"
The poem echoed through his head as his eyes connected with the ones of the dead kitten. He let out a soft gasp, maybe he was hearing things. "Did he say anything" he roared at Fernpelt, "a poem, a rhyme.. a prophecy" he continued, claws unsheathing dangerously. Fennecmask blinked his eyes open from the Warriors den and padded over to the Nursery, wondering what all the commotion was all about. He nudged Ravencurse out the way to see what was underneath him. The tom froze up, his body stiff and his eyes filled with horror. "Ah..ahh..Aspenkit"}

[SHADE. :D]

Beacankit looked at his brother with eyes wide. He stared at him, stunned. He had never really felt that close to Sunkit, Aspenkit had been his friend. Mewling in confusion, the tiny tom started to nose his brother, then truth dawned on him. His brother was dead! He started to cry pitifully, burying his face in his tail. Then he heard Lonelyheart, and barreled into her white flank. He clawed at her with tiny talons and bit her flanks with small fangs. "Just 'cos you don't have a family, he was my brother!" the kit shrieked.
Scrawltale padded after Fennecmask, wanting to see her kits before they settled down for the night. When she saw Aspenkit's body, she wailed in agony and disbelief, running over to him and nudging him. Her mew of distress was similar to her son's. She buried her muzzle in her dead kit's fur, not wanting any other cat to go near him.

<sub>Lunardance to say the least was having a fairly nice night, she had organized all her herbs correctly, she had finally got her nest how she liked it and the temperature seemed just perfect in her den. Though as usual, something went wrong to spoil things once more. There seemed quite a commotion in the Nursery, maybe a she-cat was kitting. Another forbidden love, maybe? She sighed and brought a sheathed paw over her face before padding out the den and into the Nursery. "Mind out the way" she barked, nudging Ravencurse to one side. The dark tom dipped his head to her and stepped to the left. She came across the dead body of the kitten and stopped, her eyes widening just a little. "Scrawltale, Fennecmask.. anyone, what happened here!" she yowled, leaning down and laying her head on the kits chest. There was no heart beat, or breathing, what could have happened. Fennecmask gave out a sob of distress and shrugged, he didn't know what had happened, he had only came in to see what the fuss was about.

ooc; Have Beacankit tell them what Aspenkit said, the poem.</sub>

[SHADE. :D]

"Get off him!" shrieked Beacankit, abandoning his attack on Lonelyheart and leaping on the medicine cat's back to claw her spine. Scrawltale did nothing to stop him, only pushing Lunardance's paws away with her muzzle as she greived for her lost kit.
Beacankit stopped sladhing when his little paws glistened with blood, and the scarlet liquid drenched the fur on his face. He looked like some demon-creature. "He said As the last leaf of Aspen falls, terror will rise, danger will call.. the kit of bats will be taken away, not to live another day..." he mewed, then continued demonlishing the medicine cat.

[razor]

_{Lunardance gave a yowled and pushed the kitten of her back, turning round she pinned the scrabbling thing down. The words of the poem ringing through her ears, it seemed all went quiet in the den. Ravencurse ran over the words in his head, had the tribe stolen Aspenkit, is that what the danger was about? He was so confused, he jumped a little as something hard hit him in the side. It turned out to be Fennecmask, sobbing silently into his fur. Lunardance furrowed her brow in confusion and let go if Beacankit, "I think he died of heart attack.."}

[SHADE. :D]

Beacankit struggled furiously against the medicine cat's paw, wrirhing wildly, but being a unt and only a kit, he was much to frail to push the cat's paw off of him. But once Lunardance had ailed Aspenkit's death and taken her paw off of him, Beacankit resumed his attack, leaping on and attacking the very paw that had pinned him. He bit it first, then clawed the placed he had bitten, then bit down hard and dragged his fangs downwards to increase the sie of the cut and the pain, His mouth was full of bitter blood and he spat it out, leaving a dark, wet blot on the stone floor.
Scrawltale wailed thrice in agony, licking her dead kit's face tenderly. He was her first kit, her forst son... She curled up nest to him, body around his, nose just touching his cheek. Her giarding position prevented all except from her mate from going near their dead child.

[razor]

<sub>Something seemed to snap in Lunardances head as the kit attacked her, she unsheathed her claws and turned to glare at Beacankit with a dangerous look in her eyes. She swung round and threw the kit off her. Fortunately it hit Ravencurse and winded the tom, he took in a gasp for air and turned to look at Beacankit. Smiling he keel over and coughed. Lunardance let out a moan of frustration and stalked over to the kit, licking beacankits head she ran off to her den to grab some herbs.

ooc; bit of powerplay, sowwy. <3</sub>

[SHADE. :D]

The kit tried to lash out at the medicine cat, but then she padded away. He hissed in frustration and began to lick at his shoulder, where he had a thin cut which bld a little. He licked it until it was clean, then curled up with his son head on his paws, still feeling fird up and longing to take out his anguish out on someone. Namely Lunardance...

[razor]

_{Aspenkits body suddenly began to move, it looked almost like blood was glistening all over its fur as flames began to light up from know where. Tongues of fire wrapped around the kit, lifting him up into the air, a voice from no where began to whisper.
"Nightmares.. nightmares"
The kits body was stretched and shook wildly in its place in the air, the flames took the shape of a bat before the soul of the young kitten was taken screaming from the lifeless body by the paws of some unknown cats. "Mother.." was the kittens final words before it was gone, Aspenktis body fell to a heap on the ground, not completely dead, both inside and out.}

[fernie. (:]

Fernpelt backed out of the nursery, shaking after what Ravencurse said to her. Her doubt came rushing back and she ran out of camp, not knowing where her paws were taking her. What had she ever done wrong? Why was she getting the blame? She stopped suddenly, her claws raking the ground over and over. For the first time in moons she thought of her dead mother, who had become a rogue after being banished from the Clan. She had taken Fernpelt with her and when Fernpelt had been old enough to be an apprentice in the Clan she had been attacked by foxes. Fernpelt suddenly wished she was here, to give her guidance. She looked up to Silverpelt and wondered if she was watching over her now...
