no worries!

FeatherPool

As glad as FeatherPool was to jump down from that rock and leave such a great authority far behind him, as he looked up at GhostFeather, talking to the cats of the clans, he couldn't help a pang of sadness. He supposed now that Ghostfeather was a fully fledged leader he wouldn't be needing FeatherPool as much. featherPool flicked an ear, pushing the thought away. He was sure he could make other friends to spend time with... if he really wanted to.

After GhostFeather finished speaking SpiritStar took a step forward, a white she cat with grey muzzle, paws and tail tip. He turned her green eyes to GhostFeather, a mysterious sparkle to them. "I, and SunClan, are very sad to hear this news, but welcome GhostStar happily as the new leader." She blinked her dazzling green eyes kindly at GhostStar. "As I am sure PlumStar and MoonClan do too," She added, with a pointed look at PlumStar. The old she cat gave a brisk and unconvincing nod of her head. "As for SunClan, we must thank EclipseClan for assisting our Deputy after a minor rock fall on SunClan territory caused a small bit of trouble." SpiritStar dipped her head. She was finished. PlumStar fixed GhostFeather with a harsh stare and FeatherPool's fur fluffed up instinctively. If PlumStar made any sudden moves towards GhostFeather then FeatherPool would be up on that rock and at the cruel leaders throat in seconds. Thankfully PlumStar began her report.

"MoonClan are doing well." PlumStar finished. FeatherPool blinked in surprise. That was quick. He thought curiously to himself. "If that's all...?" PlumStar asked, faking a yawn, "MoonClan have more important things to get to."

RyeWhisker and SmokeJaw hadn't seemed to notice Smokepaw sticking around.

Previously on EclipseClan…

SparrowStar was found dead, cause unknown, and CloudFur went missing, presumed dead also…

Display Spoiler

“We found SparrowStar.” Featherpool’s voice rang clearly throughout the sandy hollow. “She’s dead. And CloudFur is missing.”

~

Featherpool lowered his voice to CloudWhisker and GhostFeather, "This was no ordinary death. No rumours or murmurs can spread through the clan."

~

DaisyStem lashed his tail as he talked with MossFur, “SparrowStar made the wrong call all those seasons ago. I protested that it was too dangerous to send a patrol to help SunClan with the rouges but she just laughed at me. The Red Dawn claimed DustHeart, WhitePaw, LittleSpot and many more, all because of her…” DaisyStem narrowed his eyes, “Perhaps she had it coming.”

~

Claw marks raked up and down the body, open gashes, a cut throat, and odd fresh scars criss crossed her skin. It was hard to call is Sparrowstar’s body when it was hardly recognisable as her. It didn't look like the leader they'd known, it looked like a mangled cat-shaped mound of muscle, flesh and blood.

“A fox did this?” GhostFeather asked disbelivingly.

"A fox didn't do this..." CloudWhisker murmured

~

"Sparrowstar had not lost a single life before this." FeatherPool said. "Whatever happened, something or, as I suspect, someone, took all Sparrowstar's nine lives, one after another. I reckon someone planted the fox fur as a cover. But they missed that piece of fur in SparrowStar’s paw." Featherpool gingerly pulled the fur from between Sparrowstar's claws. It was ginger in colour, a small clump of hair. "Whosever this is killed out leader."

Suddenly, there was a fourth cat sitting among them, right where SparrowStar was. A small, white she cat with bright green eyes silently watched the three of them, her pelt glistening with the light of stars.

"Beware the wolf in sheep's clothing, beware the Snake amongst the Pigeons."

StoneTuft and BlazeStorm descover CloudFur’s scent trail, leading towards SunClan, and rescue the SunClan deputy, SnakeBelly, who found herself trapped beneath a rockfall…

Display Spoiler

StoneTuft padded forward towards a low hanging tree branch. She gave it a sniff. "It's a piece of Cloudfur's fur." She mewed, "And it's covered in blood."

“That's definitely his scent... whatever happened, he must have gone this way-- or was TAKEN this way..." BlazeStorm agreed.

"Maybe he left a trail for us to follow. It's leading towards..." Stonetuft's mouth went dry. "Sunclan is in that direction." She looked back at Blazestorm. "Did Sunclan do this?"

There was a sudden crashing noise in the distance, by Suncan territory. Stonetuft's ears perked. "Another rock fall. That's the third one this moon." Her ears twitched again. "Do you hear that?" She asked curiously. A faint, pitiful mew could be heard in the distance.

There, at the base of one of the sheer rock faces of Sunclan territory, was a cat, trapped beneath heavy red boulders.

"That's SnakeBelly." StoneTuft breathed, "The Sunclan deputy.”

"Thank you.” SnakeBelly mewed after they freed her. “I should get back to my clan, it's not safe for an injured cat out here." She moved to leave but as she tried to climb up the rock face her back left leg collapsed under her and she fell with an 'oof' to the ground.

"We do want to ask her some questions." StoneTuft murmured, just so BlazeStorm could hear, "We could take her back to Eclipseclan camp - just until her leg is better."

~

StoneTuft retraced the trail they’d followed earlier that day, all the way to the SunClan border. "The trail ends here indicating that CloudFur was taken up there to the Sunclan camp," She said hurriedly "Which, up until today, I'd have believed no question, but think of SnakeBelly! Even with the two of us was no way of carrying her back up that cliff. No injured cat can make it up there.” StoneTuft paused for breath, a slight wheeze in her throat, "It doesn’t add up, CloudFur wouldn’t have been physically able to make it to SunClan’s camp..."

"Do you think Moonclan could be doing this? They know we are good allies with Sunclan, so perhaps they led the trail towards Sunclan camp to make it seem like they did it? We both know how Plumstar and Maplefang are..."

"I won't lie, BlazeStorm, that's exactly what I've been thinking."

FeatherPool remembers they need to prepare for the gathering tonight, is given a sigh by StarClan to make GhostFeather leader and a mysterious omen from his dead mentor, KinkedFur

Display Spoiler

"Oh starclan... The gathering..." he turned to Ghostfeather, "it's tonight! I completely forgot..."

~

"We'll bring SnakeBelly back to her clan at tonights gathering... We have to figure out who will speak on the behalf of our clan, since we don't have a leader..." GhostFeather added.

~

"I spoke with SnakeBelly. She reported seeing a feather next to the edge of a cliff, and when she fell she reported seeing a cat watching her - a cat she described as ghost like." FeatherPool dipped his head respectfully to GhostFeather, "Starclan, it seems, have spoken. It's a sign from them - you are to be our next leader."

~

"Listen closely, Featherpaw." KinkedFur, the dead Medicine cat, said, "You'll need to remember this one day." FeatherPool, FeatherPaw once again, blinked up at him, the real world vanishing around him.

"Remember what?" he asked. KinkedFur was holding a herb towards him, but FeatherPool had no clue what it was. No matter how hard he strained his mind the herb only fuzzed out of view "Remember what!?" FeatherPaw's voice rose in worry, then hysteria. KinkedFur's face was melting in front of him, gargled coughs spouted out of his sagging mouth, blood dripping from it's side. "KinkedFur! Don't leave me alone! I can't! KinkedFur!" The medicine cat melting into the floor, disappearing from view.

“Remember…”

At the gathering, cats are beginning to realise that the EclipseClan apprentice, GingerPaw, looks suspiciously identical to the SunClan warrior, RyeWhisker, and RavenWing suspects CloudFur isn't dead

Display Spoiler

"RyeWhisker, what are you doing over-" The tom cut himself off when GingerPaw turned around. "Oh, uh..., my bad." He apologised, walking awkwardly away.

~

"Why is your fur all messy?" GingerPaw asked, wrinkling her nose. ThistlePaw narrowed her eyes at GingerPaw,

"Why do you look exactly like RyeWhisker," She shot back

~

The MoonClan medicine cat’s are no where in sight at the gathering, and RavenWing is convinced CloudFur isn’t dead

"What I'm surprised about is that BlueSky and NewtTail," GooseFlight turned to CrimsonPaw, "Those're the moon clan Medicine Cat's, by the way," She turned back to FeatherPool, "Are no where in sight." FeatherPool narrowed his eyes.

"That's odd..." He murmured suspiciously.

~

RavenWing didn't answer his question right away, she was looking down at a white flower with a green centre. "I remember the day this flower bloomed here." RavenWing spoke softly, gently turning the flower head towards herself with a delicate paw. "After the red dawn I couldn't believe my WhitePaw was gone. I came here, grief struck, and searched for what felt like a day." She crouched down, eyes level with the flower, examining it. "It bloomed right in front of me, as if saying 'goodbye'." RavenWing blinked away tears, turning to ShatterStone. "I told them CloudFur was missing, and most likely dead. They didn't take it well - LarkKit especially." RavenWing turned her eyes to the clearing, "But..., here's the thing, ShatterStone. And, I know this sounds crazy, but CloudFur's flower isn't here." She looked at ShatterStone. "I'm sure of it. He's not dead."

and that's what you missed on glee EclipseClan

Oh man! I was gonna actually post on here the other day but I wasn't sure anyone would come back :0! Anyways I'm 100% alright with continuing this roleplay where we left off!! I just gotta figure out where we left off lol ))

Ill posted a recap I believe read it should help :)

As Rosepaw exited her den, her vision seemed to shimmer. She saw a strange blur of air heading swiftly out if camp.

It wanted her to follow.

The light fizzeled in and out of her vision, leading off towards moonclan territory

The fizzling light hovered just over the moonclan border, over something hidden by the grass. It seemed important Rosepaw take a closer look by the urgent way the blur moved from side to side

RyeWhisker/Gingerpaw/Swirlpaw:

'and the gathering is over.' the ginger she cat mewed tensely. Ginger paw chose that moment to hurry over to smokepaw and swirlpaw.

'lets leave.' she said urgently, her eyes finally falling on RyeWhisker. Her fur stood on end and she froze, then, nudging swirlpaw harshly, hurried off. Swirlpaw looked after her, then up at RyeWhisker who had this odd look in her eye.

'lets go.' the tom next to RyeWhisker mewed, glaring at the two eclipseclan apprentices. They moved to leave.

Ravenwing:

'guess that's it...' the queen mewed uncertainly, padding towards the entrance.

Where she paying attention she would have noticed daisystem was watching her closely - he seemed to have overheard her musings during the gathering, about cloudfur still being alive, and has a face that looked like thunder.

Featherpool:

Feather pool shot towards Ghoststar. 'lets leave, quickly, morning shadows on her way.' he urged, trotting towards the exit. 'what was up with plumstar?' he mused

Hidden amongst the grass, below the blur's location, was a daisy. The head of the daisy had fallen off and lay on the ground, the stem was waving in the breeze. It gave Rosepaw, most oddly, the impression of a snake, rising up, ready to strike. Were it not for the blur it would have been indistinguishable from and hidden amongst the grass.

As if it knew it's job was done, the light disappeared.

'Hey!' a voice called at Rosepaw.

FeatherPool:

Featherpool twitched his whiskers in amusement, guessing what GhostStar was thinking about. "Yes, we'll go tomorrow. As for what will happen... I can't tell you. It is a secret shared only by leaders." He paused, taking in the scents around them. "A good plan, trying to make amends with Moonclan. Something tells me, however, your efforts may never work. There is only so much appeasing monsters can take." Featherpool glanced around, making sure everyone was out of earshot, as if what he was about to say next was more controversial and secret than what had come before. He lowered his head towards Ghoststar, his ears flat.

"As for morning shadow I uh... may have led her on when I was younger." He admitted. "I... I was trying to force myself to be something I wasn't. It ended up with her being unable to let me go. Though..." Featherpool held back a murrow of amusement, "It seems she'll go for anyone if she's willing to flirt with you." He teased, his tone light to show he didn't mean harm.

GingerPaw:

Ginger paws pelt bristled, but she did't pull away, her temper was somewhat under control. "Of course it made me uncomfortable." She snapped, "She's -" Ginerpaw glanced around. No one else was in ear shot besides Smokepaw and Swirlpaw, who was limping along their right side. "- cleary my mother." She finished in a harsh whisper. "I'm a sunclanner. A filthy sunclanner. SpiritStar lied to me." She bared her teeth. "I'm glad she's dead."

Swirlpaw didn't know what to think. "Couldn't she be your sister? Or just another ginger cat?" Gingerpaw rolled her eyes.

"Didn't you see her? She has my face, my eyes, my tail, my stupid long, thin, sunclanner like limbs. Starclan, how didn't i realise before. I don't have the thickset build of an eclipseclanner - I've been a fool." She lashed her tail back and forth. "The evidence was always there. I wonder how many people have figured it out..."

RavenWing:

Ravenwing blinked gratefully. "Its kind of you to think to ask. Yes, the kits will no doubt still be up" she sighed, "Usually I take them for a walk around camp to tired them out but-" she struggled with a yawn. She lost. "Well..." She mewed once the yawn had finished, "Im feeling too tired to do it."

AppleTooth:

A white and brown tabby tom with brown eyes hurriedly approached Rosepaw. He was flanked by a black she cat and a smaller brown tom whose fur was wild and knotted and eyes were a brilliant blue.

"You shouldn't have done that." The black she cat said, stalking over to Rosepaw, belly low, tail held high. She moved behind the small apprentice, to block her path back to eclipseclan. "You're going to come back with us and explain yourself, child." The white and brown tabby tom seemed to startled at that.

"There's no need for that, Blackjaw." He murmured. BlackJaw let out a small hiss. The white and brown tabby tom looked down at rose paw. "What are you doing on our side of the border?" He asked, peering suspiciously down at her.

(sure, appletooth is the brown and white tabby tom with brown eyes and smokejar is the black she cat)

Appletooth narrowed his eyes. "Sure you weren't trying to steal prey?" He asked. Smokejaw lashed her tail.

'of course she was. Let's teach her a lesson.' her claws flashed out, digging I to the ground. The brown apprentice with bushy fur narrowed his eyes, he seemed just as keen.

'now now, smokejaw. No need for that.' appletooth warned, sounding uncertain. Smokejaw cast him a sideways glance.

'you don't control me.'

Appletooth

(Sure! though Ill warn you he's a hard cat to pine after XD good luck rose paw)

If Appletooth noticed the blush, he didn't show it.

"See, Smokejaw? She wasn't stealing." He reasoned. The messy brown furred apprentice narrowed his eyes.

"She's lying." He hissed. Apple tooth cast his brown gaze tiredly around,

"Then where is the prey she stole?" He sighed in frustration.

"She hasn't done it yet, but she was going to." Smoke jaw spat. Apple tooth fixed her with a strong look.

"Do you want to get Eclipseclan on our backs over prey that hasn't even been stolen?" He asked in a hushed voice, "How do you think Plumstar and Maplefang will like that?" he added. That seemed to get Smokejaws attention, who backed off. The apprentice didn't seem convinced.

"But-" He protested.

"Enough, Bushypaw." Smoke jaw cut across him. She turned her harsh eyes on rose paw. "Get off our land, child. Don't come back if you want to keep that pelt of yours." She warned, then padded away, her tail bristled. Bushy paw followed after her.

Apple tooth fixed Rosepaw with a disapproving and angry gaze. "Maybe next time stay on your side, okay?" He asked, before turning to leave also.

FeatherPool:

Ghoststar's tail flicked over featherpool's ear, who couldn't help a warm feeling spread through his chest at the action. He smiled and did the same back, giving Ghoststar's ear a small slap.

"To be honest, GhostFeather - uh, star," He corrected himself awkwardly, "I'd rather she bother you than me." Then, act Ghoststar's suggestion that they pawn her off on shatterstone her let out a barely suppressed murrow of amusement. "A match made in starclan, surely." He joked. "I'm sure I can find an omen or too to support the idea." He added conspiratorially.

Swirlpaw/Gingerpaw

"He's right, Gingerpaw. We don't care." Swirlpaw chimed in helpfully. Gingerpaw looked between the two of them, her face unreadable. She didn't speak.

Silence stretched on as they asked back. By the time the bramble barrier was coming into view Gingerpaw muttered, "Thank you, I appreciate that." Before darting away into the camp and disappearing into the apprentice den. Swirlpaw shrugged as best she could, casting Smokepaw a helpless look.

"Gingerpaw's temperamental at the worst of times. I can't imagine she'll find dealing with this news all that easy." She paused, then, "We could try catching her her favourite food tomorrow morning?" She suggested, her whiskers twitching excitedly, despite her own inability to hunt, given her disability.

Ravenwing

The queen blinked gratefully at Shatterstone. "Thank you - I feel exhausted after that gathering. And..." she trailed off. "I don't want to answer the kits questions about Cloudfur. If I give them false hope just because I believe he isn't gone then I... I'd be a terrible mother." She explained.

The blur of light reappeared, shimmering in the air. It began to creepy back towards the Eclipseclan camp. Eventually, it neared the bramble barrier.

The majority of Eclipseclan were arriving back from the gathering at this point.

For a second the light seemed to turn into a pair of brilliantly green eyes and surrounding snow white fur. Then, as if it was only imagined, it disappeared.

FeatherPool:

Featherpool surprised at Ghoststar's question. He felt touched the tom was checking on him. "Thank you." He purred, then "Yes," he admitted, "I feel a world better. Leadership and decision making and... all that... it's just not for me." He let out a tired sigh, "Being a medicine cat with minimal training is hard enough as it is." He paused, then, "Are you alright?"

SwirlPaw:

Swirlpaw nodded, agreeing. "Great plan, Smokepaw, as usual." She laughed, "We should call you strategist paw." she added. A yawn over came her. "I hope he gets back soon." She said once she'd finished, "I'm tired..." Her legs were shaking all over. She lay down in the hopes they'd recover a little for the short walk back to her bed.

RavenWing:

Ravenwing blinked gratefully. "You're right. There's nothing wrong with hope." She murmured, then, at his question, "That would be wonderful. I'm sure they'd like that. Especially Nettlekit he can get... a bit lonely at times." She trailed off, padding towards the nursery. "Lark kit? Nettle kit?" She called. Two black blurs of fur raced out of the nursery and barrelled into Ravenwing's legs.

"Mum! Mum!' Lark Kit chimed. Nettle kit was silent, his blind eyes staying upwards at his mother, but his face seemed happy. "Are we doing the walk? Are we doing the walk?" Lark kit pestered.

"Shatterstone is doing the walk tonight," Ravenwing explained, "Mummies too tired - and Shatterstone want to give it a go himself." She added. Lark kit turned her big eyes on shatterstone in amazement.

"Okay!" She squeaked, skittering over to him. Nettle kit followed at an energetic, but comparatively more subdued, pace. He looked at shatterstone seriously.

"You better make up just as good facts a histories." He warned. Ravenwing shot Shatterstone an amused glance, before ducking into the nursery.

The cat didn't reapear, nor the light
