Sleepy Thicket

CW: Reflection of traumatizing past, suicidal thoughts

- @Caspian because you wanna read it ig

Graytail was making her way toward Sleepy Thicket. Everything was shattering her. Everyone she knew slowly dying or already dead. Her mother, Willowfrost had died giving birth, she was buried here 53 moons ago. Graytails father, Deadthorn, had died in an old border skirmish, he was buried around 50 moons ago. So many tragedies threatened to drag her down to the pits of hell. Well, in any case, Graytail grabbed some flowers since she was told her mother had a love for them, all those moons ago. Her father, however took a keen liking to ferns, specifically bracken, oddly enough. And Graytail grabbed some ferns as well.

"Mother, Father... Am I cursed? Was my whole life pointless? Should I keep clawing to keep myself up from the edge of the cliff I'm on? Even Kestrelstar..." She sighed, obviously knowing that her parents wouldn't know who Kestrelstar was. "My first apprentice... why did he despise me? What happened to him that I could've done to prevent?" There was Likely nothing that would've been able to be done. "And.. my mate... Riverpad, I miss you, where have you gone? Father, I finally understand how you felt all those moons ago, losing mother must've been hard."

"Mother, losing most of your kits at birth must've hurt, I've lost all five of mine. They're all most likely deceased. So, I cannot begin to fathom how either of you felt." Graytail picked up the ferns and flowers and placed them ever so gently on their Graves, "Mother, Willowfrost, Father, Deadthorn, may you rest peacefully for many moons to come and I will see you again one day." With that final sentence, she heaved herself off her haunches and debated whether to tredge back to camp to sulk as she had been doing recently.

"Hey, Graytail," said Slatesky, "are you okay?" You've been all moody recently. Come over, and talk." As she said this she sat and motioned for Graytail to sit next to her. I do hope she's okay, Slatesky worried. She is always so depressed, and it could be dangerous for her.

(Sorry for short post!)

//!!!! REMINDER MY CATS THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS DO NOT REFLECT MY OWN!!!//

Graytails ears swiveled back when she heard a voice, she let her fur lay flat when she noticed the RiverClan scent. Turning back, she was trying to discern the name of the cat.. Slate-something, right? Yeah, Slatesky! "If anyone had cared, Starclan would've killed me by now, but they want me to suffer." Her lips peeled back in a snarl directed at the cloudless stars. "And yet, they haven't." Her demeanor changed rapidly from when she was sitting talking to literal Graves. "So don't pretend you care, Slatesky. Stop pretending to be a goody-two-paws."

Slatesky was taken aback by Graytail's harsh tone and self-destructive attitude. After she recovered from the initial shock, she got mad. Really mad. "I do care!" she shot back. "Just because you hate yourself doesn't mean everyone else hates you! Graytail, you're just making your life worse by holding it in!" She stopped, glaring at Graytail. She needs to tell me. Or somebody. Maybe the medecine cat? Who knows. She needs to tell someone.

Shadow Fiend: ACTIVE

One fish, one crab, one gull to go. And... ooh, Heatherwhisker found himself at some creepy forest. Oh, this would do nicely, wouldn't it? He wished he could climb trees -- he would totally put the gull up there, just for giggles. Instead, he did something else -- he set the rotting bird down and surrounded it with a circle of stones. Hehehe. He trekked away, just two gross pieces of prey left.

// -1 rotting gull \\

[Estelle]

Great. Just great. These cats were getting bolder and bolder, weren't they? The scent was subtle, but clear all the same. WindClan, nearly being overpowered by the smell of rotting gull at his paws. Angry, the ginger tabby slammed aside the stones, not caring for whatever pretty set-up they made. The bird was promptly disposed of, though his mind was already searching for who this cat was and where they might've gone.

Toby

Toby nodded in understanding that sunny was worried about him or rather them being discovered by said other cat. He was quiet for a moment his brown eyes narrowing in concentration as he thought of what to do eventually he gave up. Right well the we’ll just look around here for now shall we? after a moment of thought he asked a question that had bugged his mind since the other cat said it. Willow leaves and blessed thistle? Mind telling me what those do? Also chamomile is used to calm a cat in the case of a nervous breakdown or severe shock. his steps slowed down to a lazy walk as he spoke easing up on this allowed for better conversation.

Lotusheart had missed this are a bit. She was still adjusting to life here even after all this time.

Sunsetpaw nodded. The two just needed to look around, and hope for the best. "Willow leaves are used to suppress the urge to vomit and calms nausea! It's found near water sources" they explained "Willow leaves are basically the leaves from a willow tree" the tree is quite unique! It has the hanging leaves which looks pretty and can also look cool! Overall, it's a pretty unique tree in Sunsetpaw's eyes. "The blessed thisle is a thisle with yellow petals Be careful though, just like other thistles, it's spiky. And this one might be more spiky than usual. The thorn spikes under the flower that's on the stem have a couple of tinier spikes on it. It's used for increasing blood circulation though, and it can also treat coughs, Whitecough, Greencough, fevers, and infections too! Pretty cool!" it's a really useful herb to know about! Might have to be careful when you're getting it though...but it's probably worth it!

After Toby explained what a Chamomile does, they gave a nod, they were grateful for the knowledge and such. It's...used to calm a cat that's experiencing a nervous breakdown or severe shock, noted! That seems really important to know, incase that ever happens back at camp or whenever these herbs can help that cat calm down!

Silverkit roamed around not knowing where she was going, she could see tall dark green trees surrounding her, looking closely she understood where she was, sleepy thicket, she squeaked! Isn't this the place where Hawkstar the evil leader was rumored to roam?? terrified and wanting to go back to camps, Silverkit ran blindly constantly looking back, THUD! she hits her head very hard on the trunk of a tree, she immediately stops running, everything moving in circles around her, feeling very dizzy she lies unconscious on the soft mossy ground.


(Silverkit is lying unconscious on the ground in sleep thicket, she hit her head very hard, she needs help!!)
