WindClan: Life Before 2023's Fire

[Leaf_tail]

Leapkit flopped on the ground, not even caring that the dust was clinging to her thick pelt. She groaned and rolled onto her side. I'm dying, she thought desperately. This is what it feels like to die. She winced as another dark of pain sliced through her belly. Please, StarClan, she silently begged, kill me already!

As Leapkit rolled on her side again, trying to diffuse the pain, her eyes caught on Nimblewhisker a few feet away. "Nimblewhisker," she gasped. "Help me...!" She dragged herself along the ground until she was close enough for him to hear her. "Nimblewhisker, help me!" Leapkit hissed. "I'm dying!"

@Opal (Prolly should specify that she's not actually dying lol, it's just food poisoning)

"It is beautiful," LittleBreeze meowed, taking in how self conscious the brown tom was about their blindness. "But sometimes the most beautiful things in life are the things you can't see, my mother told me that one. Things like the feeling of the wind against your fur, the warmth of the sun on your pelt, the sound of prey rustling in the grass. Small things like this can hold more beauty than anything sight can bring you."

The little tom could remember very little of what happened other than confused yowls and the thick fear scent. Since that time, he had been listless, mostly staring out the entrance to the nursery den, no longer believing that Cavemist would ever come back but unable to tear his eyes away. His ear giving a sudden twitch, he looked behind him at Mistkit, giving his den mate a full view of his split face for which he was named, one side grey with a green eye, the other white with an eye of amber.

Mistkit heard someone turn their head she whiped around her eyes wide in fright not shock, but perhaps Splitkit would be confusing. She was blind so she didn’t think she looked different, she knew he was named Splitkit as she thought it was probably because of split peas not a split face those things she didn’t understand, she didn’t really grasp that the two of them had more in common than different. They each had a father who vanished a littermate at one point in time, but Splitkit had a sibling who was alive most-likely, and Mistkit’s brother was a stillborn. Mistkit had no parents in the clan, Splitkit had a father though Splitkit lacked a mother. Mistkit didn’t know this ofcourse. She thought she was the only miserable kitten in the clan.

She didn't know what the leader was supposed to say. She hadn't known what Surgestorm was going to say either. But she was aware that he was probably going to say something about the moonstone. She knew that the moonstone and StarClan were very important parts of being a medicine cat, as well as healing the clan. She knew that apprentices had to be accepted by StarClan and she was so glad that she was getting to be a medicine cat instead of a normal warrior. Fighting had never appealed to her.

Blazingstar watched as the ceremony took place. His eyes were bright with happiness that Surgestorm was finally taking on an apprentice. It showed that WindClan was still growing and growing stronger by the day. Oriolepaw would hopefully have a long time to learn from Surgestorm. As Surgestorm turned his attention back to him, Blazingstar stepped back forward. "The good wishes of all WindClan will go with you on your journey tonight," he spoke, speaking for the clan before waving his tail to end the clan meeting.

Surgestorm dipped his head to Blazingstar as he wished them the luck of the clan. As the leader ended the meeting, he chanced a glance down from the edge of the breezerock, remembering a time when it seemed so high up. It didn't seem as high now, making him realize how much he had grown up since he was that tiny, reckless kitten. Moons ago, he had made the leap that had led him to the path of the medicine cat in the first place. Now, he made his way down the correct place, weaving his way through the lingering cats to talk to his legacy. He paused as he reached her side and pressed his nose to her forehead as was tradition for a mentor to do when they received their apprentice. "For now, receive your congratulations from your family and friends..." He murmured with a smile. "Then, come see me two hours before sunset. You've an exciting journey ahead of you." With that, he padded off to his den - planning to get the traveling herbs ready for their departure to the Starcave.

Splitkit's ears drooped as he saw the other kit startle. "It's just me," he said simply. He hadn't actually spent any time talking with the little shecat before, but they'd shared the den for long enough that Mistkit would probably recognize his scent or his voice. A queen had told him a while ago that Mistkit couldn't see. It was a fact that it was difficult for the young tom to fully understand. He had tried closing his eyes to imagine what it was like, but never managed to keep that up for long before he grew tired of the game and opened his eyes. "You ok?" he asked without genuine concern. Splitkit knew enough to be polite at least.

She lamented outright ignored the half rumped 'I love you' comment out of seer fact that she didn't believe it, "I'm in the middle of a horrible fever and stomach pains and you can't even pull off more than a half-ass attempt at happiness!"




@Spiral Whirl

[ sorry for the late reply ]

"I do care. " Stormglare said, holding back a groan. Did she have to make another scene again? "I'm sorry, you should know I have a hard time expressing my emotions. " he meow to her, Truefully. He wasn't even a good actor, he did care a bit. He care about her, anyway. Stormglare furrow his eyebrows, his eyes pleading for her to calm down. His tail flicker back and forth, in sync with his breath.

"No, you don't! S-so I'm-- I'm leaving and never coming back! I'll die kitting in the forest and so will the kits and it will be all your fault! But, you won't care because you don't care about me!" She shrieked, getting up and starting run toward the exit of the nursery.

"Very true. Uh, what's your name?" HareStorm asked, not in the most polite way but he was trying to be nice. StarClan how I'd give to be young and handsome like him again...before I got taken by the stupid twolegs and locked in a room...maybe I was better off becoming a kittypet. Because I cannot have kits...

Stormglare was surprised. No, that couldn't describe what he felt. Nervous. Surprised. Angry? Maybe. Sure, they fought and all but never like this. Did he stay or run? No, running after her would be weak but a good choice, yes? Stormglare jump to his paws, running after her. "Beaaaauuuuttyyyyyy! You wouldn't leave your family, would you? You aren't just leaving but everyone! The clan!" He would try to guilt her back.

Gorsebird stopped and turned around making the sad face to end all sad faces, "Who would I be leaving huh? Streamkit and you hate me. T-tawnykit's dead. And, Harrierclaw and Sweetwhisker wouldn't even notice!" Gorsebird whimpered fresh tears rolling down her cheeks, the idea of leaving right now in her mind at least seeming like a great option, "I-I wouldn't even mind dying all things considered." She mewed.

(Okay this might be weird but I just saw this picture and thought of Stormglare and Gorsebird for some reason. link XD)
