Flameheart

"I will be sure to do that, then." Flameheart dipped her head and took a note of talking to Creamcloud when she sees her next. Foxpaw would finally be making it to warriorhood, which ultimately brightened her day. Mallowheart and the young Keeper had similar ideas to Camp Care, it seemed, which brought a small smile to her orange and white face. "I'll speak with Mallowheart as well."

"Oh- and speaking of Oriolepaw... I didn't think a punishment was necessary since he did get hurt, and that's punishment enough, but... Mistylight casually mentioned to both Sundust and I that she found Oriolepaw lying on the ground injured. I was under the impression she went out there with him, but that was clearly not the case. I've seen a lot of kits and apprentices think it was okay to sneak out and do things on their own. If I could, may I request that you warn the entirety of the Clan to not sneak out? It's been a big problem as of late and I'd like for that to... not happen. Again."

Rainpaw

Fury and betrayal was perhaps just the right word to describe how Rainpaw felt. Tears silently fell down his face as he made his way across camp and his pelt prickled with unease. If his name weren't Rainpaw... it would be Porcupinepaw. The young tom did not bother to announce his presence as he approached the leader's den. Instead, he came with stomping paws. "That's it- I'm done. I can't be silent about this any longer. Sparrowstar, I have to tell you: Thrushfur will not be a good deputy, let alone leader when the time comes."

Sparrowstar was probably oblivious to the crimes his father has committed. And for the most part... the entirety of ThunderClan was. "As a kit, both of my littermates went missing. Not a single warrior or apprentice gathered search parties for them. Not even Thrushfur or Quailfur, my own parents. And every time I said something to someone... I was berated for my behavior! he snarled each word, spitting out the hatred that lingered inside his short-haired body for moons each second.

"My former mentor, Bumbleflight... My own mother, Quailfur... Batblood, your Keeper! It felt like ThunderClan didn't want my sisters back. They abandoned kits! They broke perhaps the most important rule in the code! And I tried... so hard to not lose my mind. Every day since they both disappeared, it took everything in me to not think my sisters were dead... and now that Quietpaw is back, I've been there for her. Every step of the way... I've made sure she was comfortable in her nest. I've made sure everyone she interacted with knew she was mute! I've made sure she made it through her first night home by giving her food and keeping her warm. Fallowkit is out there somewhere. And so is Lavenderpaw. And only the stars know if they're alive or dead! I mean- Quietpaw was clinging to life when Flameheart and I found her on the border with WindClan!"

"My sisters mean everything to me. And I've been more of a father figure to Quietpaw than Thrushfur ever has. How is it, Sparrowstar, you trust Thrushfur to look out for the entirety of ThunderClan's future when he doesn't even care about his own kin? Because it sure as a fox's fang sounds like he cares more about his ambitions and goals than he does the Clan. He doesn't care about its survival. He doesn't care whether a Clanmate goes missing or dies... he doesn't bother to keep a connection with his family... and neither does Quailfur! I'm the only active figure in Quietpaw's LIFE!"

"My life... for eight moons... has been nothing but stress, worry, and anger. Toward the entirety of ThunderClan. My mother berated me for attending the meeting when you got announced as leader and not telling her! My sisters were there to comfort me. To change her perspective on the situation. I owe them so much... I am who I am because of my sisters. And if you don't do something about it, then I will. And may the stars have mercy, because I won't. Not toward anyone, even Thrushfur. The way I see it- Thrushfur's not my father and Quailfur is not my mother!"
