Flock Together [Tier 2] - Inactive
Stay back. That was her job. Her task. And it felt... awful. Like she was one of those warriors. The ones that didn't lift a paw. Didn't care who got hurt or what happened as long as it didn't involve them. As long as
their little world wasn't shattered. A specific tom came to mind. A white tom with black markings and rich, blue eyes. The one that had expected her to call him dad. The one she'd sworn she'd never be like. And yet here she was, doing an exemplary imitation of the cat he'd been. The tom she remembered.
Large ears flatted and Lightningpaw's eyes narrowed, taking in the scene as battle broke out. Something was wrong here. RiverClan looked... defeated.
This was the clan that had killed WindClan's leader? The calico's tail lashed out in anger as she wondered if this had somehow been StarClan's doing, and promptly decided against it. These cats looked like they had been suffering for a bit. Longer than Beanstar's heinous crime had taken place, in any case. And if that was the case, then tough. Maybe they shouldn't have made such colossal arseholes of themselves if they were going through a moment of weakness. Honestly... warriors as a whole made no sense to her. Imagine, killing a leader before asking for help. Good grief.
Keeping her gaze on the battlefield, she quickly scanned for any outliers. Anyone in need of help. Ears perked up as she noticed Tigerpaw - the apprentice only by name - being overwhelmed by a RiverClan warrior. The medicine cat apprentice leaped to her paws, ready to help when she realized... there was nothing she could do. She didn't know how to fight. Maybe that was what she should have focused on. Learning to fight, instead of hunting. Proper good she was going to do with hunting here? Catch a rabbit and slap some RiverClanner in the face with it? Actually... that was starting to sound like a mighty good idea right about now. Calling out, she heard her voice drowned by the cacophony surrounding her. Someone had to go help... Tigerpaw was in danger, damn it!
