ThunderClan: Life Before 2020's Fire

Ivory was wide-eyed. This camp was huge, the big cat had told her to go into this big hole,” Hello?” She meowed a bit surprised by the size of the huge cat in the den...

She scoffed. "He disobeyed the rules of the Clan, bringing an unknown stranger to us in the hopes that she would be allowed to join. Apprentices, no matter what age, are not to be out of the camp without their mentor-- that is the rules. Besides, hadn't you said that it has been your dream to join a Clan, and not that he convinced you to join one? I do not buy your story. Get out, both of you." Duskstar waved her tail dismissively, distrustful gaze on Shadepaw.

Duskstar looked up, features concerned as she heard Lionwhisker. "Yes, what is it? Is something wrong?"

Her brow quirked. "You got... lost." Duskstar blinked, tail twitching slowly. "You are to continue training as normal, just-- just don't get lost again. You are dismissed, Sleepypaw" She waved them away with her tail.

Duskstar tilted her head to the side as Ashcloud walked in, curiosity in her gaze. "What is it?"

"Who are you?"
Duskstar's eyes were narrowed as two outsiders walked in, her ears flattening distrustfully. She didn't bother wondering how they had found the camp, and how one of them knew her name. More so, she wondered what they wanted.

Ivory was a bit taken back the the distrust and accusition against her,”I-I- I’m Ivory.” she squeaked panic in her eyes as she shuffled back and forth uncomfortably scared what the big cat would do to her, all she knew was her housefolk grabbed her brother and threw him in a cage and her mother told her to run to the forest, then she ran an fell asleep until a strange cat found her told her to follow her and sent her to see this big cat who didn’t trust her, despite her being a cute little kitty.

Fade's throat tightened. Why couldn't it be both?! She dipped her head, turning to exit the den. "Thank you for the chance to join your clan, even if I chose to speak out against it and lie. I'm sorry for the trouble." What about Shadepaw? What's going to happen to him?

@hxneysuckle
"yes . Duskpaw told me that the reason for her ...injuries was because of a cat in mud attacked her during the friendship games ." he meowed only to fold his ears back. " I think it was shadepaw. She said don't worry about shadepaw to frost...she said they hated each other ...but...I would have never thought he'd do that. Duskstar please, take me seriously . Put the information together and you'll see why .....I think he may be a danger to our clan " Lionwhisker meowed. "ask Frostpaw even , ask duskpaw again. Just to be sure ..." he added . He knew that bugger was bad news right from the start .

[nykyrian]

I'm Buggy He answered the leader, still rolling the pebble in his paw. Buggy's fur was freshly groomed, so it laid flat on his skinny frame. Miss Duskstar I'd like to join your clan, if that's ok with you

ashcloud sighed and dropped the snake and its head at her paws, "murkyshadow needs to go through his training again, he thinks that disrespecting prey is ok, and had the nerve to say you didn't care plus and I quote, "she would never demote me." ashcloud scoffed and twitch his tail with annoyance, "to make it more clear, murkyshadow was taunting the kill he made after her brutal beheaded it and when I told him it wasn't right, he said he didn't care and that you didn't care either." he finished and dipped his head, "I think its best if he gets made an apprentice again, but thats just my thoughts on it." Ashcloud stated.

Percy cast his mentor a doubtful glance, but stayed quiet. He didn't think he had the stomach to speak another word. Gross, the word pealed around his mind while he eyed the furry little lump. And then, if it wasn't enough that there was now a corpse just sitting in the middle of camp, Duskstar crumpled over unconscious. Somehow, more cats seemed to rush over to help her royal highness than the kit who's neck she snapped. He angled his head and averted his gaze with a hollow sigh. "What a waste." There was a pause.. "Great fertilizer, though! You wouldn't believe what a good week-old corpse will do for a garden. Feeds the soil- makes it nice and rich. There's nothing better!" Suddenly the tom leaped upward and barreled through the crowd.


"Wait a minute! You there! The.. ugly one! Buckbunch, was it? Don't dispose of that corpse just yet! I'd like to put it to some practical use if you don't mind.."

Warm as he his with developing muscle from earlier training he felt skinny and that didn't sit right with her. Once Ploverspot had walked off to sniff out the camps prey pile she slowly let herself unwind from Myrtlepaw. She studies him with sharp green eyes. He looked less tense now. More comfortable with the comfort she gave and it made relief wash over her that she hadn't unwittingly spooked him.

She still wanted to know, she was so happy her son had a life outside of her actions. She wanted to know how it could have gone all wrong and what made this apprentice act like any Thunderclan kit that had grown up around the gossip and warnings about her when she was younger. But Ploverspot said not to pry, so she would not. She would stay there to keep Myrtlepaw calm, help them feel safe. Because that's what he needs, she can see it in his stutter, his nervous shuffle. And it makes her want to claw at which ever Shadowclan cat could have done this to him.

Really, what kind of clan was Icestar running?...Ice cold fox-heart.

Ploverspot was back and there was a glint in his eye as he dropped a squirrel at Myrtlepaw's paws. The elder warrior saw the shift in the apprentice again and with narrowed eyed studied his reaction to the food provided. It was one bite and a pained face before the russet furred tom was pressing back into her. She flicked her tail and hummed.

"Has he always had difficulty with meat?" she asked Ploverspot, then turned to Myrtlepaw.

"I need you to explain to me exactly why you made those faces while eating the squirrel." her calculated tune fizzled out slightly then, she cleared her throat to speak again a bit softer. "That is...if that's something you're comfortable explaining. You need more food. Even I can see that."

As soon as you've got on a proper eating schedule you'll be coming with me out in the territory, but until then we're remaining here and practising eating." At Shadedpath's comment he looked over at her and nodded. "I didn't realise it until recently when I caught him eating some strange berries. I assume he had to be watching the medicine cats when they went out for collection of inventory. That's the only reasonable explanation I could think about. But I think Myrtle should tell you what really happened. Meanwhile I'll take a good nice rest in the sun."

Myrtlepaw sighed. He knew there was no way to avoid the question Shadedpath had asked, especially with Ploverspot going off to take yet another one of his mid day naps. Looking back up to Shaded, his green eyes seemed to fill with sadness.

"Well, I guess it's because of... the berries... like Plover said. My mom, well... my birth mother... she didn't care much for me after I was old enough to walk... There was nobody there to give me food... so I would go out, and see which berries the medicine cats did not pick... and then... I would take those berries that were left..." The young tom paused, there was quite a bit left for him to say, so he'd have to take a moment to catch his breath. "And then... after my parents had... been killed..." Going back on this memory was painful for the apprentice, he had to try his best to hold back some tears. "Well... after that is when I met Plover. He brought me some prey to feed me every day... I tried this prey... but it tasted awful, it was nothing compared to the berries I gathered... So, I left the food for other kits in the nursery... and just went back to gathering my berries in secret... But, after I became an apprentice... Plover found out, and told me all that was wrong with that." Myrtle pressed closer into Shaded, the whole tale was a lot of effort on his part to explain, and he felt exhausted after having to go on for so long.

Some time had passed of the russet furred tom just once again enjoying the comfort of his new mother. Though there had been much termoil in his short life, he could at least be happy in this moment. It was only once he decided to look back that he had remembered the squirrel, placed out specifically for him. Myrtle's mood shifted, he suddenly once again seemed to become panicked. It was clear in his mind that he needed to become used to this new kind of food, or he would never live the life of a warrior. There was also the aspect of not wanting to disappoint the two cats who cared most for him... but even still, the pains he faced from eating had made him hesitant to ever take another bite. Some encouragement was going to be needed... he'd never break out of this cycle on his own.

Nightkit looked around, jumping around and practicing her hunter's crouch on the empty nursery beds, trying to look in a playing mood so someone will play with her.
