Ooc: yes, the stick!

Sange Moonpaw gave Agua Crossout a slightly annoyed look. She then turned to Terra Clawpaw. "Thank you," she said eyes twinkling it the bit of light that wove thru the sheets of rain. The twig began to shake, a bit faster this time, quicker. Moonpaw quickly placed her paw on it, hoping it would stop. Last time she had done so it did, but this time, for some reason, it did not. It slow down a bit a first, but then it just picked up speed again, this time even faster.
Moonpaw looked down at the stick curious, all thoughts of Clawpaw did not seem important at the moment. Cautiously she took her paw off of it, wondering what would happen. The stick started to spin around in circles, out of control. "Eiks," she shrieked, eyes wide as she jumped back. Then forcing herself to do so, she slowly crept forward, like most apprentices would stalk a mouse. When it was a bit less then a tail's length away she lept for it and eyes squinted and paws forward, unsure, she managed to have one paw land on it.
It was almost as if because she was terrified of the stick it just moved faster. She told herself not to let go, but at that moment the only thing she really wanted to do was let go of it. Taking a deep breath, which was not easy when her heart seemed to be beating 100 beats a second, the bit she had been shivering mostly stopped and the stick did to. Keeping her eyes on the stick she stopped shivering all together, in terror, and told herself to take deep breaths.
Silently she let her claws curl around the stick as she picked it up. Turning to look at Clawpaw she asked, "What do you think of it?" Then turning to the other cats she wondered how many of them were just as scared as she was. Her face was a mask of calmness, but she assumed that every-cat else could smell her fear scent. To her it seemed almost overwhelming.
((OOC: What should the stick do? Should it have something to do with the black cat? Maybe it could lead them to the black cat, but Moonpaw, or one of them, could stop it...))
(what kinda stick? the tree kind?) Anima Rustflower yawned
((OOC: Yes, the tree kind... or at least that is what it looks like to the cats.))
Anima Leafstorm watched Sange Moonpaw eyes wide. What is the matter with the stick? she wondered. Jumping up she wondered how to help Moonpaw.
Clawpaw stared at the stick wondering if what he had just saw was becuase of his insanity or if it was real. After a few moments he decided it was real. "That was... strange" he siad. "It must be a sign, but for what?"
Ooc: maybe the stick can lead them to Darkpaw or if it does lead them to the black cat, the black cat will take over Clawpaw and make him try to kill Moonpaw and everyone else. If we do it that way then maybe the stick could be cuased by a good spirit, like a silver cat thats trying to stop the black cat.
Wow, almost confused myself. Well, I'll let you decide. I'll try and get more people to join...
(what is with "the stick?") Agua Stallionbreeze yawned
Clawpaw took a step forward.
Ooc: not sure yet, but it's important. Whatever happens, just go along with it, we'll most likely need your characters help! ^-°
((OOC: Honestly I'm not even entirely sure what the stick is going to do, but as we RP things just seem to come to mind and I type them...))
IC: Anima Leafstorm stayed by Terra Clawpaw.

((At least she is the main cat I am RPing for most of it...))
Sange Moonpaw looked around cautiously. The stick seemed to be very draining and she was already getting tired. Finally her legs gave in and she collapsed onto the ground. As she fell her paw seemed to be stuck to the stick, like they were magnets. The ground seemed to come up at her and it seemed rougher and harder than other times. She felt a sharp sting at her belly and she knew that it had gotten cut.
Everything got fuzzy and she felt dizzy. She lay her head on her paws in hope that the world around her would settle down and get back to normal. She closed her eyes and after taking deep breaths hoped that she would be better. When she opened her eyes nothing had gotten better. Everything was still fuzzy and whatever she could see was spinning.
Gasping for breath she spasmed. It started from her paw that was touching the stick and went all throughout her body, to her tail. Moonpaw tried to stop, but the stick seemed to be sending out something, energy. It would have gone into the air, except because she was touching it, it was directed into her.
As Moonpaw got worse the stick seemed to eject more energy. If you looked carefully at the air then you would be able to see grayish ripples going away from the stick in all directions. They weren't very noticeable, but Anima Leafstorm, who had been watching Moonpaw very closely and worriedly, noticed. She bounded forward, in an attempt to help Moonpaw. The moment one of her paws, that had been outstretched, touched one of the gray, smoke-like rings she stopped, frozen.
Leafstorm wasn't the only one that seemed frozen, stopped in time. Moonpaw also was, and time seemed to have stopped itself as well. Leafstorm's eyes seemed to glaze over and they began to cloud.
At that moment Udara Windpaw had rolled into the healer's den. She had felt something pulling her, but had not been sure what it had been. She was drenched, but one look around and she was on her paws. A new found energy seemed to pulse through her and with one flying leap she leapt straight over Moonpaw and then knocked Leafstorm out of the way.
Leafstorm, in turn, went something along the lines of flying herself. The pressure from the blow that Windpaw had delivered when she had hit her had sent her flying across the den. Leafstorm was now not numbed at all by the clouds was still slightly out of it, but her collision with the wall was enough to bring her back. Not she had an aching whole side of her. Her left paw seemed to have gotten hurt the most. When she hit the wall it had gotten twisted sideways so all of the momentum of Windpaw's hit had gotten put into that paw and the wall.
She now lay there slightly dazed, but she could feel the excruciating pain. She took one deep breath that cleared her mind, but that also made the pain more real. She let out a wail and flinched as it moved her paw which then caused it to hurt more, and then the flinch moved it even more so that hurt even more. (If that makes any sense!) She did manage to think of Terra Clawpaw and hoped that he would do something about her paw soon.
When she remembered Clawpaw, Moonpaw came back to mind too and then she remembered all of that and she got even more tired and her paw hurt even more. She managed to flick her tail and although it hurt she knew that it was not broken or anything. When she tried to move her paw, on the other hand, it didn't really move.
After Windpaw had crashed into Leafstorm in attempt to get her out of whatever trance she was in, Windpaw, herself, ended up getting stuck in the gray cloudy stuff. It had started to get farther out, and while Moonpaw struggled and spazed in the middle, Windpaw was geting suffocated by the gray stuff. It was beginning to take her over and although she could breath perfectly well, save that she was struggling and going limp and such.
Something in Windpaw seemed to be stopping something, and she seemed to be absorbing whatever was coming out of the stick as well as Moonpaw. She started to shake and while she was vibrating something strange started to happen. The gray smoke-like stuff began to shake too, and circled around her, instead of her absorbing it.
Windpaw seemed to be blocking it, and Moonpaw seemed to be absorbing it. Windpaw's eyes cleared a bit and now instead of being dizzy and everything being fuzzy she could se clearly. The cloudy gray stuff was still around her, so nothing could be as clear as if it was just air between her and an object, but it too was slowly moving away. There seemed to be a bubble around her, something very strange.
((OOC: Whew, that took a while!!! Can someone else get their cat to try and do something about Moonpaw... she is not exactly in good condition...))
Terra Bloodyfang swift as possible ran over to Moonpaw "Moonpaw!" he said He growled at the stick he unshethed his claws "You will pay you furless mousebrain!" he hissed he was about to pounce and claw it to shreads.
Anima Rustflower Bolted toward Moonpaw "Moonpaw!" she said
Agua Stallionbreeze pushed Terra Bloodyfang "No!" she said
Terra Bloodyfang stared at her, hiding his love for her "Why not!"
Agua Stallionbreeze ALWAYS noticed when Terra Bloodyfang was being hidden. "I know." she said Her eyes gleamed "wont you deal with it later?"
Terra Bloodyfang stared t the stick "no matter how much you say..." or I love you... he thought "I will get that stick back!" and he, pounced at the stick
((OOC: Anyone as proud as me about my last post? I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with it and myself!! It did take a while...))
IC: Sange Moonpaw's paw still seemed to be stuck, magnetically to the stick. When Terra Blodyfang's pounce hit the stick, the stick stayed stuck to her paw. Now that another cat was also taking the energy she could think a bit more clearly and she shook her paw trying to rid herself of the stick.
(LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED it! Anyway, what is going on?) Terra Bloodyfang got stuck to "You... fiend stick!"
((OOC: The stick is magnetic to cats paw's, especially Moonpaws. Oh, and the black cat is going to come through the stick and a silver cat is going to come and stop it... Should we make a separate thread to plan this all out in or should we do it here?))
IC: Udara Windpaw was pushed out of the gray clouds of smoke like stuff when Terra Bloddyfang touched the stick. Standing up, her fur on edge she didn't know what to do and was very dazed.
(what's with the bubble, and, what is the stick doing?) Terra Bloodyfang screached
((OOC: When you put parentheses around words does that mean the character is talking?))
IC: Udara Windpaw didn't know what to do...
Clawpaw stood frozen in place, eyes glued to the stick. He had to do something and quick! He ran quickly through the smoke, head down till he reached the placr were Moonpaw and Bloodyfang were. Quickly, he reached his stump of a hand out to touch it when he saw him. The black cat was coming from the stick like smoke from a fire and he had Clawpaw trapped. Clawpaw took a step back...
Ooc: sorry, may be inactive. Lets plan this out in the sign up thread!

Sange Moonpaw felt a slight tremor and as she looked down at the stick it seemed to change shape. No she thought it's still there, something is coming from it. She gasped, but all that came out was a bit of a squeak that sounded like a kit that wanted its mother. She stiffened and she fluffed up. This shape didn't seem to give her a good feeling, no, not at all.
Her paw was still stuck to the stick, and suddenly it felt like something on the other side was let go of. She fell back on her hind paws and sat the winded. The shape that she had seen coming out of the stick was no longer there. She wondered if it had just been her imagination.
Looking up she realized that the shape was materializing into... a cat? It took her a moment to realize what it was, and where she had been told of it. The black cat! she thought terrified. Terra Clawpaw told us about him... Taking deep breaths she tried to tell herself that all would be ok, though she wasn't succeeding with that.
(It means OOC.)
((OOC: Oh. It was hard for me to tell because Terra Bloodyfang could have easily been asking about the stick and bubble...))
IC: Anima Leafstorm stared at the shape of a black cat terrified.
