Troubled

[SHADE. :D]

Amethyststar sat outside the Moonshard to wait for her brothers.

[FIREH!!]

Spicetalon loped around the clearing, sitting beside his sister. "don't worry," was all he mewed.

[SHADE. :D]

Anmethyststar looked at him with a measured gaze, her eyes glazed over. "I won't." The moon was gradually rising in the sky; Amethyststar began to wonder where Ravencurse was. Hopefully the Tribe hadn't gotten him too...

[razor]

_{"Stupid Crow" a dark voice snarled from the shadows, soon following the voice was a considerably dark tom, a gash in his shoulder that seemed to be shaped like a talon scratch. He had been attacked by a crow, how strange was that? Shaking his head he sat down next to his kin glaring at the skies with hate.}

[SHADE. :D]

Amethyststar looked at Ravencurse, concealing the great relief in her eyes. She looked up at the moon, now a silver sphere, shimmering in the dark skies. She glanced at her companions. "Spicetalon; wait outside and guard. Ravencurse, come with me." The black she-cat padded into the darkness of the cave of the Moonshard.

[razor]

Ravencurse licked the fresh blood off his shoulder, shivering in brief satisfaction before he padded after his sister, his s paw steps light. His claws where unsheathed though, and his nervous thoughts where flaring as he padded into the gaping hole of blackness.

[SHADE. :D]

Amethyststar led the way in the darkness, the tip of her long tail just brushing her brother's chest to help him follow her in the inky blackness. The leader was a fuzzy shape in the gloom, barely visible. When they entered the cavern of the Moonshard, it was a dark, solid spike against the back of the cavern.

[razor]

Ravencurse was reassured by his sister, her tail was just like an extra paw, leading him on with care. Licking his lips he let out a death as they reached the cave. Glancing over at her he sat down, eyes glued on Moonshard.

[/center]

[SHADE. :D]

Amethyststar watched as her brother sat near the Moonshard. She approached it, then lay beside it, paws tucked neatly beneath her chest. She pressed her nose aganst it's chill surface, then shivered as a spasm racked her body.
The Tribe will kill all!
Anethyststar woke with a start. She shivered, and turned to her brothr with fear wild in her amber eyes. "They have cut us off from StarClan." she said softly.

[FIREH!!]

Spicetalon nodded and sat down in front of the cavern.

[razor]

_{"No.. no.. NO!" cried Ravencurse, tears starting to form. The Tribe couldn't do that, StarClan was there only hope, swinging round he ripped his claws over the hard surface of the moonstone till her felt something crack and blood trickle from his paw. He fell into a heap head buried in his own fur. "Why don't you help us StarClan" he screeched before falling silent.} [/center]

[SHADE. :D]

Amethyststar hissed at her brother, pushing him away from the Moonshard. "It is not StarClan's fault." The black she-cat shivered, her amber eyes, for once, wide with fear. "Let's get out of here. This place reeks of cruelty and despair."
The leader stalked into the tunnel, thawping her brother's flank his her tail irritably to show him which way to walk.

[razor]

_{Ravencurse sighed and followed her, wincing as he bleeding claws touched the ground. Eventually he sheathed them before nosing his way out the darkness and sititng down next to his brother and staring at the ground. "All hope is lost.." he murmured.}

[SHADE. :D]

Amethyststar hissed at Ravencurse, cuffing him sharply over the ears like a bothersome kit. "Hope is never lost," she whispered. "We must travel to each clan and tell them of his. We will first visit MoonClan." The black she-cat swept around, then halted. "I sppose we hould rest first." she added this as if the thought appaled her. The she-cat curled up as a ray of pale sunshine split the shadows. She rested her head on her paws and waited for her brothers to obey her commands.

[razor]

_{MoonClan. He shook his head, the very name bringing back horrible memories. His Father had been the Leader once upon a time, it simply seemed to him that MoonClan couldn't give two shakes of a kittens whiskers. Shrugging he cracked his shoulder blades before sitting next to his sister with a wince, carelessly watching the sun rise.}

[SHADE. :D]

The black she-cat eventually slipped into slumber, dreaming fitfully. She awoke, finding herself on her back, legs spasmodically twitching in the air. She rolled on her belly, before getting to her paws and shaking her pelt. She felt vague embarrasment and hoped neither of her brothers had seen her. After a quick groom of her ruffled coat, she padded to Ravencurse and Spicetalon in turn and roused them.

[razor]

<sub>Raven.. Raven..
Stupid little curse..

"No.." Ravencurse mumbled in his sleep, dreams not being his best benefit. He had fell asleep next to his sister though ended up laying thrashing next to the Moonstone, his body not too far away from getting punctured by a rather spiky rock.</sub>

[SHADE. :D]

OOc; The Moonshard's in a cave. o-o You can't tell me he rolled all the way through the cave.

[razor]

<sub>[ooc] No, xDDD.

He's at the entrance of it.</sub>

[SHADE. :D]

Amethyststar sprang over to her broher asnd, with some difficulty, rolled the large cat away from the rocks. "Wake up!" she hissed, smashing him in the face with a hefty paw.

[razor]

_{Ravencurse blinked groggily and awoke, looking around blankly he tipped his head. "What you wake me up for" he hissed t his sister though soon became silenced as he noticed the shard of stone that was just a bit away from him. Grunting a little he shook his head and stood up, walking past his sister he poked at Spicetalon.}

[SHADE. :D]

Amethyststar watched as her brothers awoke. She flicked her tail at them, sitting down to breifly wash her ears. When she was done, she blinked through dark amber eyes at Spiectalon and Ravencurse. "We will hunt, and then we will set off for MoonClan."
The slim black cat got to her paws and stalked into the dense green bushes. A few moments later she returned with a woodpigeon that was looking decidedly scrawny and had lost a lot of feathers, and began to crunch it up.

[FIREH!!]

Tales of another broken heart...

Spicetalon shook himself as he stood up. "No," he murmured. His dream was of pitch darkness, hearing a cat scream out in pain. He knew the voice, but did not know of where it came from. "Razortomb!" he whispered. "Raven! Amythyst!" he called his siblings bytheir nicknames. "Razortomb's in trouble!"

[SHADE. :D]

Amethyststar hissed at her brother. Razortomb was her kit! But she knew she could not go back now. "Spiectalon," she mewed, trying to keep the fear for her grown son out of her voice. "Go back to the camp and find him. Watch him until we return. That's an order. And tell Fernpelt that we will be later than first expcted."
She looked back at Ravencurse. "We must go to MoonClan," she mewed to her brother. Turning to Spiectalon, she meowed solemnly to the silver tabby: "May StarClan light your path."

[FIREH!!]

"May Starclan light your path," he replied before bolting back to camp.

[SHADE. :D]

Amethyststar watched her brother's silver tabby body until it disappeared in the trees. Raw worry was bright in her amber eyes, but she hurriedly blinked it away before turning to Ravencurse. "Let's go," she hissed, darting into the trees.
