WindClan: Life Before 2023's Fire

[BEAR.]

"It wasn't really your time to go to begin with." As cliche as it sounded, it was true-- if it wasn't for Foxpudge, Aspenflight wouldn't have died so suddenly.

At least Snailblossom and Brightstar would be happy. "So.. do you want to head back to camp? How do you feel? We can wait so you can rest up if you're feeling too weak. I know this can be.. draining, both physically and mentally." @Bliss Girl

Aspenflight looked at him and nodded. The tom let out a sigh. "I'm tired, but I think I can make it back to camp.", he meowed. The ginger cat's heart itched to get back to camp.

His daughter might be glad to see him back and he was going to make sure she knows that he feels strange that she's mates with Emeraldbush now. He was a good cat, but he was still protective of Snailblossom and didn't want him to hurt her. "Starclan can be that way sometimes.", he replied to his first statement.

[BEAR.]

"Then let's go."

Foxpudge didn't want to linger any longer, feeling uneasy in the presence of Aspenflight. Tail twitching, he turned to head back in the direction of camp, though he was careful to keep an eye on the newly revived tom in case he needed help.

Think about it like this," he puffed out his chest and put on a serious expression, "when going to battle, you want to be intimidating!" He then went back to normal and continued, "But, with all this fluff, I look like a grey cloud. Clouds aren't menacing." He shook his head and continued onward, casting a few glances to Snailblossom before he asked, "So, what's your family like?"

Snailblossom looked at him, her ears flattened against her head when he asked what her family was like. "My mother was once a Windclan warrior, but she was forced to leave under pressure from my father after she told him she didn't want to care of a cat that didn't look perfect. My father well the last time I saw him alive was many moons ago.", she meowed. Snailblossom had no idea that her father was alive again.

Aspenflight nodded and followed behind the other warrior. He kept silent while they walked back to camp. The tom walked with shaky legs, but kept his head up. The tom was able to walk, but he found it difficult to put his feet down in front of him.

Snailblossom sat inside the camp by herself lost in thought of how she was going to tell a ton that she didn't want to be mates with them. It broke her heart a bit, but she felt it was for the best. The warrior curled up with her tail wrapped around her. Snailblossom just wanted to be alone right now, but kind of figured somebody still might come over to her which would be fine. The new warrior turned her head and faced away from her clanmates.

She moved at a sluggish pace as if her bones had been filled with cement. The lilac mackerel tabby might have been a pretty she-cat with a noble appearance if she bothered to raise her head high and stopped walking like she was over a hundred moons. Twilightshine didn't bother hiding the eighth yawn that day as she slowly made her way over to one of her favorite sleeping spots. It wasn't all that inconspicuous it was close though. Waking up, walking all the way over to the Fresh-kill pile for something to eat, and then eating itself was strenuous work. Now it was time for an eight-hour nap, the lazy she-cat paused when she noticed the paws in her path. She forced her green eyes to raise themselves and rest on the she-cat in her way."Pretty kitty, you're in my way." Her words were laid back like the rest of her, no hostility or annoyance. After a second, she plopped herself down beside the she-cat with no intention of moving, sprawled out on her side and shut her eyes.

Her eyes stared at nothing. With a growl, the she-cat was pushed off of Brightstar, being kicked in the stomach and winded. She choked on her snarls and stopped, stumbling around before leaping once more. However, as soon as she did so, Tawnystep lost consciousness, passing out mid-air and falling limp. Completely unconscious.

(Just a wrap up post)

Standing up to catch her breath Brightstar couldn't help but be startled. What was with her?! Shacking blood from her head, that had been threatening to trickle into her eye, she looked for the other members of the patrols. Something was off with them. That was it, she was declaring that place off limits and would go check it out later. First she had announcements to be made.
With a glance at the unconscious warrior Brightstar headed to the Breezerock. Not bothering to tend to her wounds first. I'll have a warrior watch Twanystep, she shouldn't go unsupervised. She decided.

[Fuzzy]

Leaping up the Breezerock after her scuffle with the now unconscious warrior, Twanystep, Brightstar paused. Maybe it's be best to clean some of the blood from her more visible wounds. They weren't that bad but she didn't want to worry her Clanmates. Running a paw over her face and ears the creamy molly called it good enough.
Now resting on the top peek of the rock Brightstar let the wind ruffle her messy fur. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Breezerock for a Clan meeting!" She called out, getting quite used to climbing up here and speaking.
Now she would wait, wait and see who would show up. She really hoped they would show up, if not she guessed she'd have to skip their ceremonies. Though she wasn't sure if she would do ceremonies or announcements first.

Bramblebear was placing prey in the fresh-kill pile when Brightstar called a meeting. Her tail flicked and she moved to position herself near the Breezerock, wondering what had caused the meeting to be called. She looked around as cats began to file from their dens and into the clearing. Briefly, her golden gaze caught sight of an unconscious warrior. She stared at the russet she-cat- Tawnystep- with an unblinking gaze, then turned to Brightstar as she cleaned blood from her fur. Had the warrior attacked their leader? Her muscles tensed.
Ears perking in interest, Bramblebear focused all of her attention on Brightstar. Not good meeting- something wrong, the burly molly thought. Her ail curled around her paws and she waited for more of her Clanmates to arrive so Brightstar could begin.

A loud audible yawn left her maw as the lilac mackerel tabby forced herself to move again. Clan meetings were one of those things that she got her lazy butt up for. Twilightshine got as close as her legs were willing to carry her and then took a seat with a soft sigh. The she-cat was tempted to lay down but knew if she did that she'd actually fall asleep. It was one thing to rest her eyes and listen to the meeting and another thing to actually fall asleep. When she was an apprentice she could get away with it. Now that she was a warrior she took these meetings more seriously even if they had nothing to do with her.

As of late even she's noticed some odd things going on around camp. Cats acting stranger than normal and whatnot, as slothful as she portrayed herself, Twilightshine liked to help when needed. However, with this problem, she wasn't certain what the problem was so she wasn't able to work out a solution at the moment. Even if she did, she'd throw an idea out at someone else and let them work out the solution. She wasn't big on the whole taking credit and standing out thing, to much work. She forced those green eyes that had given her the suffix in her warrior name up to linger lazily on the clan leader she finally noticed the hint of ruby dotting her pelt and the minor wounds.

That was concerning... Twilightshine raised her head from its eternal resting place on her chest, actually looking around. Perhaps that problem was a little worse then she had first thought. She appearing more awake now, although her face still refused to look anything other than utterly at ease, as she noticed the large white and brown Maine coon taking a seat nearby her. She bet those unnatural eyes of his were on Brightstar as well. She and Batglare weren't exactly friends, she didn't mind his broodiness and he tolerated her laid-back attitude. They often lingered near one another because regardless of how odd they were, no one wanted to truly be alone. Twilightshine hoped this meeting wasn't super long, she had a busy day of eating and sleeping to do, and now she supposed pondering. Something was clearly very wrong here.
