WindClan: Life Before 2023's Fire

[ladybugg03]

Ferncreek walked calmly to the Breezerock. Normally she would Hang behind the crowd of cats but today she was eager to find a spot, this sounded quite urgent. What could it be? she wondered. As she looked around, she stumbled over her paws and fell face first into the dirt. "Oof!" She looked up and blushed, hoping no one saw her spill. Ferncreek got up and shook the dirt off of her silvery coat. She shuffled forward and sat, still embarrassed.

"That," hissed Rainshade embarrassedly, "Is an important cat! He is our Clan leader, mouse-brain!" They couldn't see the loner's indifferent actions, but it wasn't hard to guess. "And would you sit still!" Thry were in quite the mind to give the other she-cat a forceful shove, but thought better of it. Why should they assault another cat out of annoyance and embarrassment? However intense, it was still, in fact, a Clan meetig, and an important one at that.

He replied puffing out his chest . He picked up his pace a bit so he could walk side by side with Nettlebreeze instead of behind her.

Nettlebreeze rolled her eyes, but not really in an annoyed way. "Well good for you," She meowed as they neared the camp entrance. Nettlebreeze didn't really know what else to talk about, especially since she wasn't as social as most cats. So instead she just stayed silent until they got into the camp.

[kk thank you ]
The warrior watched his leader hop up the rock, his sky blue orbs flickered with unease. The meeting with the Thunderclan leader didn't go too well, anger seethed from both leaders and quite honestly the tom believed that it numbed their logical thinking. He was slightly worried about this from the start, he had learned through gatherings and clan meetings that the two leaders react strongly with their emotions, but so did Sleepingcloud himself. The warrior found himself a nice seat below the rock, his tail neatly wrapped around his paws. What did he plan on doing? How was he going to react to this? What is he going to tell the rest of the clan? So many questions buzzed in the Warriors mind, and so littl of them actually held answers.

Emberdust groggily stepped out of the Warriors den, the suns rays causing her to squint her eyes. Why in the name of Starclan did her broher decide to hold a clanmeeting now of all times? The ginger molly hobbled over to the breezerock and gently sat herself down, neatly wrapping her tail around her paws. Something was wrong. She could tell by her brothers scrunched up face and the anger in his eyes, what had happened?

The change in her attitude almost made Honeydust smile his goofy full-toothed grin. Almost. He never smiled like that, not in a million moons. Well, he used to, but he didn't like it. He usually kept it to a small, sweet, nearly shy smile, contrasting nearly harshly against his realistic, somewhat flamboyant, mother-esque persona he'd given himself.

He sat neatly next to the resting molly, tail curling over his paws. He'd lie down too, but he'd probably never get up to do his work if he did. In fact, he should probably be doing his tasks rather than socialising with the leader's sister. He thought of the consequences that would result if he spent the rest of his time with Emberdust. Then he looked at the molly. Totally. Worth it.

He chuckled with a light purr, "None taken." Emberdust was interesting, to say the least. She wasn't too hard on his eyes, either. She seemed kind enough. He could dare I say, almost trust her. Almost. Just because he was being kind to her did not mean he trusted her, not even for a second. His paranoia and anxiety only brought that up a couple notches.

Still, he kept on his kind persona, "I suppose that's true, but you are a good sister," He purred gently, hoping it wasn't too bold of him to say. His eyes wandered about the clearing, observing it in it's prime of newleaf. It was his favourite season, and most say it matched his personality well, and he could agree, except he didn't. Well, not really.

Honeydust took a deep breath, warm brown hues sparkling with their golden flecks like the whole of StarClan in the daylight shining in them. His paws fidgeted when he took a side glance at Emberdust. She had this sort of look in her eye that made his head and chest feel fuzzy, it made his paws fidget just a little bit more, and his tail twitch anxiously. It was.. odd, but not unwelcomed or bad, merely unknown. No, not unknown. Familiar, but not at the same time. It was confusing, conflicting, and almost frustrating. He tried not to think about it.

The molly blinked slowly, her Amber orbs flickered with curiosity, something in the tom changed. His posture was different and his eyes were hiding something, although she's couldn't pin point what exactly it was. It made her even more curious about the tom, made her want to get to know him better, dissect his way of thinking, tinker with his mind. Most of her clanmates were always hiding something, whether it be a dark secret or an emberassing fact she was always able to deduce what it was, but with her new found companion, she found it incredibly hard. She narrowed her eyes and looked over the tom for a few seconds before she let out a sigh and nuzzled the ground "I wonder who became the first medicine cat." she asked aloud, she wasn't expecting an answer, well, she wasn't expecting a correct answer. Did medicine cats really see their ancestors,or is it all just a bluff? She didn't really understand them, the need to heal, she understood the thirst for knowledge but she didn't understand why they felt the need to heal and save the injured, wouldn't it be less of a hassle to just leave them be? But then again emotions such as 'pity' and 'pride' play into their actions, pity upon a horribly injured cat, and the fear of loosing their pride if they failed, 'fear' was also apart of their choices. Emberdust learned that it was hard for her clanmates to neglect their emotions, difficult for them to ignore 'heart ache', 'fear', 'joy' which she didn't understand all too well, she blocked them out perfectly, it wasn't too hard. But then again she didn't truly know how to use them correctly, she didn't know what they meant. She opened her optics and gazed up at Honeydust through her lashes, "Did you ever want to become medicine cat?" she asked, her state cold, dull, although her orbs were bright and gleaming they held nothing but emptiness in them.

The ginger molly let out a huff and flicked her tail, a pout plastered on her face "I try, but I don't understand him. I keep telling him that he needs to find a mate, but he keeps pushing it aside." she huffed, annoyance is what most would call this feeling she was having, and annoyance is the mask that she would put on for this conversation. All these emotions were masks, they weren't her, they covered her true self, masked her ideals and facts. Then something popped up in her mind, a question that she wanted an answer to. She sat up and looked the tom straight in the eyes "What are emotions to you? Do you find them useful?" she asked, her speech cold, bland, parched, nothing bright or dark thrown in, it was boring and held nothing and hid nothing.

Dancer shut her muzzle, fattening her ears. She was still new to this life, but if she made one wrong move it would be back to her family. Clawing the dirt, Dancer sat up, her yellow orbs looking at Blazingstar. So this was the leader? He didn't seem all that great. Dancer huffed, not fully understanding the importance if Blazingstar. She swiped her paw over her ears, Stopping to give Blazingstar a bored glance before wrapping her tail around her paws.

Yewpaw snorted," Wow, he now has to say important to grow enough attention for us to listen..." he trotted over annoyed
Quailpaw flicked her tail and trotted over," Yewpaw try to be a good sport. It probably is important as he said, maybe you should trust your leader."
Yewpaw scowled," Well... I ain't see no need to listen to dat fleabag who bosses us all a'round awright sista?"
Quailpaw snapped," First, give your leader respect, second fix your bad grammar."
Yewpaw scowled," I ain't no fixin' mah gramma, weak lil sista... Toms are stronger den she-cats like ya. I dun get why yo so bossy and up in ma business and caring 'bout me, I mean bruh...Yo so uptight, ya need ta let go once an a while." He shoved her gently.
Quailpaw snarled," I want to be leader, and no one wants a leader with bad grammar and lets lose once and a while, I have to miss perfect."
Yewpaw snorted and mimiced her," I have to be miss perfect. Miss perfect my dung...ya ain't perfect and neva will be... Perfect folks are dem folks who can murder someone if there life depends on it, even if they were just woken up a second ago, you couldn't murder someone awake. So bruh...yo aint no miss perfect."
Quailpaw sighed," Miss perfect is the cat who never breaks the warrior code and is fast and a good hunter, fighter, and smart. The smarts means thinking outside the box and asking questions that are related."
Yewpaw scowled," I am smart bruh...I am fast, a huntah, and a fightah..."
Quailpaw saw that the leader was ready to speak," Shut up, fleabag, and listen to what he has to say."

Larkcry bounded to the front of the crowd, confused. The word Blazingstar had used had struck something. Whatever it was, Blazingstar looked angry. The warrior was eager to hear what had happened, and why the Windclan leader looked ruffled.

Larkcry's amber hues took in the leader's bristling pelt, and his blazing eyes. The warrior blinked. Normally Blazingstar was calm. What in the name of Starclan had happened?

"So, Blazingstar, what happened?" he called up, concerned. "Is it about the other Clans? Is it the Dusk Syndicate again?" he then added with a growl, and slid his claws out. "If it's about those mangy foxhearted excuses for cats, I'll rip their fur off!"

[Teza]

Green eyes glanced up at her leader as she padded across the clearing. He seemed irritable, something she never would have thought to see Blazingstar, ever. Something must have gone wrong somewhere. Was it Snowstar? Or Russetstar? Had they made the normally calm and seemingly happy Windclan leader so upset? Shorttail dropped the fresh kill she had in her jaws on the pile, then padded close to the bottom of the perch That her leader was on. Breezerock was quite an amazing place, and she was glad that she was able to get so close before sitting down. Perking her ears, she listened in on the rumors that had started floating around, only for them to be crushed by what Blazingstar had to say next.

Fluffy fur sat just outside the apprentices' den, listening to the crowd and her leader in turn. Bronzepaw was still upset as to what happened to her, as she had had a crush on Crimsonpaw for quite a while before actually talking to him. That wasnt important though. She watched as Blazingstar called the clan meeting and bound up angrily to Breezerock. The once happy apprentice simply sat there patiently, waiting for her leader to speak.
