ShadowClan Life Before Destruction

Goldenstar dipped his head as Shadetail introduced himself. He had heard about the tom a few times in passing, but didn’t know very much about him. He listened to the tom speak, nodding every so often. “You’re from the Duck Syndicate I presume?” He said calmly, tilting his head slightly, as though wating for a confirmation. “I could see why some cats wouldn’t trust you,” he murmured apologetically. Now, it was time for advice about Shadowclan. He didn’t exactly know how to phrase this, since he had never given a type of advice like this before. “Well, I would say do your best when it comes to hunting and fighting,” he suggested, as he knew that was a good way to get respect. “Also, try your best to find other cats who have either gone through the same thing as you, or are friendly,” He added, as he knew of a few cats who joined Shadowclan after the DS disbanded, looking at Shadetail calmly the whole time.

The young warrior leaned forward, ears swiveled towards the leader as he spoke. He wanted to be able to absorb every piece of information he could. Despite some of his more shady qualities, Shadetail was loyal. Once he pledge his life to a faction, it took more than a few looks to just break it. "Yes, I am," he replied, answering the leaders initial question.

As Goldenstar continued, Shadetail nodded, murmuring, "I see..." and letting the gears of his mind began to turn. Fighting was something that had been drilled into him since he was four moons old - he had the Syndicate to thank for that. But hunting... They had Hunters in the Syndicate, and with him being a Fighter, he hadn't spent much time stalking prey that couldn't fight back. He narrowed his features a bit as he focused on this thought, making a note to himself to practice the art of hunting when he had a moment.

"Thank you for your advice," Shadetail mewed, dipping his head again. "I hope that one day I can prove myself, that my loyalties no longer lie with the Syndicate." He did respect Goldenstar. It took great qualities to lead a group this size, and for the first time since joining ShadowClan, a tiny thrill passed through him. He wondered what it was like to hold that much power. To have a group of skilled warriors standing behind him in battle, who would give their lives for him if asked. A weird emotion began to fill his veins and the warrior felt a sudden urge to ask more questions. But a thump from outside broke his train of thought. Most likely those tussling apprentices I saw earlier. He blinked and shook his head as if to dislodge the idea.

Brindlestep couldn't help but smile wide now his childish side kicked in along with the snarky warrior self. His tail thrashed happily and his ear flicked
" why thank you madam . And what's that behind your ear? " he asked with his smile still on his face he liked to do jokes in his mind he was never to old to prank or have fun.

She gave him a goofy grin and flicked her ear. “Dunno sir, you tell me!” She said laughing.

"Yeah sometimes I make jokes like that and sometimes they are so dumb I laugh at myself." meowed Meadowflower. Yeah even sometimes I don't get my own jokes, but I laugh anyway. After Shadetail answered her question the smile left her face. "My past wasn't so great. Ny parents died when I was 3 moons and I was left to be fostered by a mother, who didn't want kits at all, but got them anyway. Sometimes my clanmates don't trust me, but I let it slide. Don't let the other cats get to you. They are judgmental and they judge them before they get to know them." replied The she-cat. She playfully bumped his shoulder with hers as she let out a smile. Meadowflower felt some eyes stare at her, but she didn't really care. She could hang out with Shadetail if she wanted to and she would not let anyone bully her.

As she bumped his shoulder, Shadetail had to force his hackles to not rise. A gesture like that in the Syndicate would surely get the gesturers' ears taken off; or at the very least, a vicious argument. But it felt different here, and a playful smirk gave way on his maw. "I'm sure your jokes aren't that mouse-brained," he teased lightly, deciding to nudge her back gently with his own lean shoulder.

The wind had halted its crusade for the time being, and the ShadowClan warrior focused his gaze on the sky above him. Leaf-bare was inching its way slowly to the Clans, and rain could be detected on the breeze. "I wouldn't judge them. The others, I mean," he mewed suddenly, breaking the small bout of silence that had ensued. "The Syndicate caused a lot of grief amongst each of the five Clans. I wouldn't be surprised if no cat ever trusted me at all." With that, he dropped his head and looked at the dirt beneath him, using one unsheathed claw to make three deep lines. A small flicker of rage nestled deep within him, though Shadetail was too focused on his claw marks in the dirt to really take notice of it.

He grabbed a beetle with his tail that was next to it and he had a chuckle
" close your eyes then I'll show ya moony" he said he decided to give moonclaw a nickname since he already gave his sister one. He couldn't wait to pull this prank!

She felt her ears flatten and her eyes showed distrust. “W-what are you going to do?” She asked nervously.

Bunnykit gave a scowl,” Ofcourse. I won’t eat it...I hope Smokeykit doesn’t either...” She may act like she disliked her sister Smokeykit, but truthfully she did care for Smokeykit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rasberrybubble had half-collected herself,” How do I prevent myself from caring for my apprentice, my adoptive kit, and any cat I may crush on in the future if Starclan’s just going to kill them because I loved them. I know death is a natural thing, but it’s not a coincidence that every cat I cared for is dead. My mother, father, brother, mentor, two of my apprentices, my mate, and my biological kits. I fear if don’t allow myself to love I’ll turn evil, but if I do love the three cats that matter for will me will be snatched up from Starclan. Do you know what I’ve done to make Starclan kill those I care about? If they are angry at me, why can’t they kill me instead of making me suffer?” She asked

daydream licked the poultice onto the wound, their tongue grazing it gently. once the liquid seeped into the wound and they were sure it wouldnt leak out, they pulled away. ¨i recommend keeping your weight off of that paw for awhile. you can still do your apprentice duties, just dont do anything extreme.¨
///
¨good. in general, dont eat herbs unless a medicien cat is the one to give them to you.¨ they explained. looking over to the next plant in their pile, they pulled up a small poppy flower with their maw,¨this is a poppy flower. the seeds on it make you feel relaxed and help you sleep, and also dull pain. but for kits like you, itll possibly slow your heart rate and overwelm it,and possibly cause you to have a heart attack.¨ they mewed,¨when you get older you can have these when hurt, but not kits. ever.¨
//
¨starclan is unpredictable, and theres no saying who they will take and who thy will spare,¨ they mewed softly, resting their tail on the mollys in an attempt to calm her down,¨but there is no use sobbing over it. collect yourself. i know its easier said then done, but power your way through it. appriciate the little things in life. killing you way through it, or constantly worrying is going ot get you no where.¨

daydream padded closer,¨im going to listen to your chest to see if theres drainage in your chest,okay? take deep breaths for me.¨ at this, they rested their head against the toms chest, ear pressed against it, listening for anything sounding like a rattle of some sort.

What have you been up to today?" replied Meadowflower with a friendly smile. The molly felt her fur fluff up as a cold chill went through her pelt. That totally was uncalled for, but there was a chill that rushed past me, so I couldn't help, but let it out.

Flowerpaw instantly felt relief as Meadowflower purred. Okay, I don't feel as shy now. "I have been talking with the elders and hanging around camp. Goldenstar says that he'll give me a mentor soon." She said, grinning. "What about you?" The thick-furred apprentice felt the chilling wind, even though it didn't pierce her pelt as much as it did to others. She was a little shocked at the larger molly fluffing up her fur before realizing why Meadowflower did it. Oh, she was cold. Not angry or upset.

Goldenstar listened to Nightshade quietly. He didn't know how to react to this request. It was sad to see an apprentice struggling with this, especially as young as she was. The fact Haypaw was considering suicide made him tense up, since he didn't want to lose any cats. There was a battle coming, as tense as that made him. Knowing that there was one apprentice debating suicide made him wonder if there were more. However, that wasn't exactly something he could worry about right now. Sure, as much as he wanted to help everyone, he knew he couldn't help everyone. Here, he was presented with the ability to help someone, and there were two answers he could give. "You can take her to see Starclan" Goldenstar decided. Haypaw would be lucky, as he knew a lot of cats, especially apprentices, didn't get to do this, looking at the mentor calmly, despite fear building up in his stomach.

Nightshade exhaled loudly and she smiled. "Oh thank you Goldenstar! Well, I'd best be going, unless you needed to inform me of anything, as highly unlikely as that is." there's an awkward silence before Nightshade turned. "Goodbye, Goldebstar!" she hastily exited the den.
