Kalnazatos?

Featherpool:

Featherpool blinked at Ghoststar. "Of course" he mewed, his whiskers twitching pleasantly, "I wouldn't have allowed you to stop me if you'd wanted." He joked, breifly brushing his pelt warmly against Ghoststar's "I of all cause know how awful being overworked is and wouldn't dream of letting that happen to you."

Swirlpaw

After a second of resting swirlpaw nodded her head, "someone to lean on would be wonderful." She admitted, slowly getting up "thank you, smokepaw." She smiled. She would have touched her tail good naturedly but felt far too tired so it only dragging in the floor behind her.

Larkkit/nettlekit

Lark kit eyes were round as she listened. She crinkled her nose, "our leader did that?" She said judgingly. "Eww" nettlekit flicked lark kits ear

"Of course he did, everyone's a kit at some point." He snapped. "What else?" He asked shatter stone.

ooc okay kalna :)

The next morning Swilrpawas sat tiredly by the fresh kill pill. She spotted Rosepaw and smiled at her

Swirlpaw couldn't help but laugh, 'oh I haven't been guarding it all night.' she responded, 'Im just tired after walking to the fresh kill pile so I'm taking a breather while I decide what to eat.' it was no secret in the clan that Swirlpaw's damaged legs gave her much trouble and exhaustion. 'hunting sounds like a plan. Me and smokepaw were going out to get Gingerpaw a treat - she didn't have too good a night last night - I'm sure smokepaw won't mind if you join us.' she looked over the fresh kill pile. 'hmm not stoat. That's Stonetuft's favourite...' she mused.

ooc I'm sorry Nightstar I don't understand what your message means. Also, KalnaZatos, whilst I feel bad for doing this as they're not my cats, I don't think they are going to come back, so I have a plan to sort it.

FeatherPool

Featherpool rose earlier than usual, stretching. He noted Crimsonpaw wasn't in her nest. The medicine den felt emptier than usual, that was for sure.

He gathered some traveling herbs, some food, and headed up for the leader's den. He noted the rise of happiness in his chest as he approached the reader's den and held back a contented purr. He entered and laid the herbs and food down. 'Ghoststar?' He called, seeing the den was empty. He decided to settle down and groomed himself for a bit. His long, silky blue-grey fur was not easy to maintain. When at last he'd finished grooming he decided to go looking for his friend, collected the herbs and food, and headed outside.

StoneTuft

Stonetuft looked around the warriors nest and saw Blazestorm was missing. She walked outside and spotted him talking with shatterstone and headed over. 'Morning.' She mewed, picking the stoat off of the fresh kill pile, her favourite. It looked likes someone had already had a go at it but had changed there mind, there was a few cuts in it. Oh well. She thought, More for me. She settled down and began to eat. 'So, what's the plan for today?' She asked, referring to the mystery surrounding Cloudfur's disappearance. She didn't mention it by name in case shatterstone was not to be let in on their findings.

Swirlpaw

Swirlpaw twitched her whiskers in amusement. 'No worries Smokepaw.' She laughed, then, 'And yeah, you go ask him.' She sat down, her legs shaking beneath her. 'I'll stay here while you do that, if that's okay.' She said, slightly embarrassed.

RavenWing

Ravenwing took one of the birds eagerly, chowing down. Lark Kit and Nettle Kit grabbed another one a followed suit. The pair of them were fast outgrowing the nursery. Their appetite had out grown it long ago, too. Larkkit had long, thin limbs like her mother, and was nearly as ludicrously tall as she was. Nettlekit was built more normally like his father had been. Lithe but of a reasonable height. 'Thank you Ghoststar.' She paused, looking past him out into the clearing, where she saw FeatherPool glancing around. She held back a knowing laugh, 'I think you have someone looking for you.' She added gently. She had seen Featherpool look and act like this once before, though she didn't mention it.

Lark Kit | NettleKit | RavenWing

LarkKit trotted over to Jasperkit, easily towering over him. 'Hello small ones!' She laughed. Ever since her growth spurt she had become more insufferable than usual. Nettlekit followed her at a subdued pace, rolling his eyes at her. 'Fancy game of capture the flag?' she asked, 'We can use these bird's feathers as the flags.' She suggested. NettleKit lashed his tail.

'And how do you suppose a blind cat is going to play that game?' He hissed.

Ravenwing hadn't heard her kits, she'd headed out into the camp. Spotting StoneTuft and BlazeStorm, she sat down and waited at a respectful distance for them to finish their conversation.

FeatherPool

'Oh no worries! I wasn't searching at all' He lied, awkwardly shuffling his paws, 'That was kind of you,' He added. 'Hey, I asked around, apparently Cloudwhisker escorted Crimsonpaw to collect some herbs this morning, in case you were wondering. The medicine den felt very empty without her.' He added. 'Right!' his eyes widened as he remembered what the day was, pushing some herbs towards GhostStar, 'Eat up. I added some honey to it to help with the taste.' Featherpool winced as he lent down and began to eat. It didn't taste all that great, even with the honey.

Swirlpaw

Swirlpaw watched as Maskpaw and Shatterstone approached. She got up, her legs felt a little tired but she was otherwise alright. She flicked her fluffy brown tail from side to side. 'Shall we?' she asked, beginning towards the camp exit, indicating that Rosepaw join them.

Stonetuft

The burly she cat nodded in agreement. 'Yeah, Moonclan certainly aren't up to any good. But what's new?' she laughed, half way through her stoat. She paused, chewing thoughtfully. Forgetting her out was half full she pondered some more. 'Perhaps we should investigate further... But we don't have any leads...' Realising some food was still in her mouth she embarrassedly turned away and swallowed the rest of the stoat hurriedly.

Kalna?

Fair enough

Accepted!!! Welcome wolfiee :)

Do you need a recap since you were last here?

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

Just realised I didn't quote this properly before, my bad. Read bag 10-11 and this and you'll be all caught up wolfiee :)

NettleKit | LarkKit | RavenWing

Larkkit darted for the feather, trying to snatch it before Cougarkit could, ignoring Grasskit's suggestion.

NettleKit, however, could only blink, standing in front of Jasperkit in silence, lost in thought. He opened his mouth, shut it, then opened it again. "That's a wonderful idea." He nodded, ignoring his sisters game. "That'd be real fun. Hey, Jasperkit, Courgarkit, wanna join?" Nettlekit had never looked so cheerful. Even if he wasn't smiling, it was clear he felt pleased.

RavenWing laughed, "Well, if you're offering more food, I won't say no." She joked, swishing her long tail. The queen stuck out a bit from the other Eclipseclan cats. She had been from SunClan and had their distinctive long limbs and tail, and sharp faces. Moving to Eclipseclan at a young age, her appearance was the only SunClanner thing about her. "Any stoats? Or did Stonetuft take the last one?" She joked.

FeatherPool

FeatherPool blinked in thought, "I have a sneaking suspicion CrimsonPaw and CloudWhisker went to collect herbs together." FeatherPool cast his gaze around camp, "As far as I can see, people are heading out to hunt and do their jobs anyway. It's probably fine. I can ask StoneTuft to do it if you like?" He asked.

SwirlPaw

"I'm finding it easier to move about. If I take regular breaks and pace myself I can get lots of stuff done!" She puffed out her chest proudly, padding alongside them as a slower pace, but a pace all the same. Then, to his question. "She... uhhh..." Swirlpaw glanced at MaskPaw for help, not sure how much to reveal. "She's... feeling a little upset at the moment." She confided, "We figured a morning gift would cheer her up."

StoneTuft | DaisyStem

"I agree. Maple fang is certainly top of my list, suspect wise." StoneTuft finished her stoat. When SmokeShade approached she sat up and gave her chest a few embarrassed licks. At his comments a feeling of indignation rose sharply in her chest.

"I'll let GhostStar know you think uncovering the brutal death of our previous leader is a frivolous wast of time, then, shall I?" She got to her feet, her stub tail twitching angrily, her ice blue eyes narrowed, "I'll tell him we'll just forsake Cloudfur, our previous deputy, who's body hasn't be found and may still be alive on borrowed time." She bared her teeth, her chest tightening, something sickly rising within it, a feeling of dizziness and nausea was overcoming her but she ignored it. It didn't help her rising frustration, though. DaisyStem, who was sitting nearby, began to pad over, curious as StoneTuft's yelling. "Plumstar, in case you'd forgotten, loaths Eclipseclan. She's been out for blood from the very beginning and only a fool can't see it. She also hates our alliance with Sunclan. It has to be her. It has to be Moonclan, I'm certain, who else would lure SparrowStar and Cloud fur-" StoneTuft cut off, her words stalling in her throat. "Oh starclan..." She whispered at last, taking a step back. She turned her face to BlazeStorm, "Oh starclan..." She repeated. She glanced at SmokeShade, then leant towards BlazeStorm so only he could hear her. "Someone helped them. Someone here helped murder SparrowStar-" Stonetuft broke out in cough, which eventually subsided.

"When You've quite calmed down." Daisystem spat, "Some of us are trying to enjoy the morning." He glanced at SmokeShade, "Sorry about her, you know how she-cats can be." He glanced back at Stonetuft, "Time of the moon?" Stonetuft stared daggers back at him. "How was the stoat?" Daisystem asked casually. StoneTuft narrowed her eyes, confused how he recognised the bones at her feet to be a stoat

Okay I'll fix that

Fixed

Gingerpaw woke from a deep sleep. She stretched out and then curled back up, intending to sleep a little more. She spotted Fogpaw across the den. 'Morning.' she yawned. 'you sleepy too? I have an excuse, I was at the gathering.' she sniped, 'how come you're so tired, hmmm?' she gave her tail a sharp whip as she slowly woke up more.

Emberpelt was sitting down, eating his morning meal. He's spotted WolfThorn and nodded pleasantly at her

'well maybe you should stop being so lazy and do something for the clan!' Gingerpaw hissed, getting up and storming out of the nest, padding over to a corner of the camp to brood.

'That gathering sure was... Interesting.' Emberpelt commented, taking a bite of sparrow.

As Rosepaw poked about a strange scent drifted into her nose, leading her towards the sunclan border

Accepted! I'll post my rp response in the morning

Rose paw continued until the smell began to turn more foul. Spatters of blood began to appear on the forest floor. Eventually, behind a bush, where the smell was foulest, near the sunclan border, Rosepaw found the answer to the scent.

Cloudwhisker and Crimsonpaw lay dead beneath a pile boulders that had fallen from the cliffs that rose up beyond the sunclan border.

Nettlekit | LarkKit | RavenWing

Nettlekit dashed away, 'Ready!' He called, then moved from where he'd been standing when he'd said it, staying low and quiet.

LarkKit darted towards couragkit and the feather trapped in her mouth, her paw outstretched to snatch it back off of her.

Ravenwing blinked grateful at SplashWhisper, crouching down to eat her stoat. She paused, mouth open. 'Hold on...' She poked the stoat around a bit, its bely had a small slit in it. 'There's something in here... look.' She trailed off, pushing the stoat towards Splashwhisper.

Featherpool

'We should go now.' He confirmed, moving towards the exit. He ducked down ands as outside the camp in no times. He paused, waiting for Ghoststar to catch up. once he had, he began setting off. 'How are you feeling about all this?' He asked in genuine concern.

Swirlpaw

Swilrpaw nodded excitedly. 'I think a feather would be great, yeah!' She agreed. 'A feather and some prey. Let's do it.' she began to scent the air. Her legs were too tired to do anything herself so when she smelt a pigeon near by, she nodded Maskpaw silently in the right direction. 'You got this.' She encouraged him.

DaisyStem | StoneTuft

DaisyStem stalked off, casting a glare at StoneTuft and BlazeStorm, sitting nearby but ignoring them.

Stonetuft's fur lay flat. 'I-I'm sorry.' she murmured, 'I don't usually get angry... I don't know whats wrong with-' She coughed a couple times, sitting down, 'me. I won't let that happen again.' she paused, listening to Blazestorm. 'I agree, I don't think its any more likely to be him than anyone else but... I just don't know, Blazestorm. if there is someone on the inside it could be anyone, including him. I'm not saying it is I... I just want to be extra cautious.' She cast her gaze around the clearing, 'It's just... how on earth did Moonclan, assuming it was them as all the evidence points to it, find SparrowStar in all of EclipseClan territory. especially given that in order to defeat Sparrowstar, all nine lives intact, and Cloudfur there must have been a lot of them. How could a large group of Moonclan cats successfully avoid our patrols and find Sparrowstar without inside help. Its impossible.' Stonetuft lowered her voice, 'It's not like no one in eclipseclan had issues with Sparrowstar. Many blamed her for the red dawn.' She said, referring to when the patrol sent to aid Sunclan were slaughtered almost entirely.

Gingerpaw

Briefly popping her head back into the apprentice den Gingerpaw snapped her green eyes onto Nightpaw. 'You too!' she hissed, 'Get up. You're all so lazy.' she lashed her ginger tail as she stormed off once more.
