Lightningpaw
female | 8 moons

It just didn't click.

Well, it never did for her, but right now it really didn't.

Emerging from the apprentice's den, awoken from her nap, the sharp, irony scent of blood caught in her throat, making her gag. Why would there be blood? This was camp, maybe somebody just stepped on a stone right? Just cut their pad and Drizzlecloud would fix 'em up nice and quick. Blue-brown eyes flickered amongst the gathering cats that flocked in the camp's clearing, near the Stormcrest, a extremely bloodied Bumblestar stood high upon stone, eyes blazing. No, nobody cut their pad. Before the yellow tabby had any chance to say anything, Lightningpaw caught sight of Cracklekit's bloodied white fur, the blood that stained the clearing, Vinekit's lifeless lump that lay gently away from the white tom's body. Horror struck her features as she froze in her place, eyes wide. None of this seemed real, as if she was still in her nest, dreaming as she was a couple of moments ago.

Her claws dug in the packed earth of the camp floor, she couldn't move, and it hurt to even breath. Eyes frantically searched for her siblings, Lamb, Lotus, Leaf, somebody that she could lean on. She didn't know the dead cat too much but stars, she hated seeing this, hated seeing death all around her. The fact the her own leader murder an apprentice just didn't sit right with her.

Reedpaw
5/100
male | 10 moons

Well, this wasn't good. Not good at all.

Also, stars damn, why was every one yelling so much? Couldn't they just shut up? Jeez.

Reedpaw sat silently, anger bristling his fur as he listening to Bumblebutt's yowling, and the other warriors' yapping back. Stars everyone here was so stupid, why couldn't they just have a normal meeting for once, where there wasn't death and violence and adults that were supposed to be mature acting like kits. Blue eyes traveled down from watching the bristling yellow leader (he understood where "Bumble" came from) and caught sight of Crackles' lifeless, bloodied body laying unceremoniously beneath the Stormcrest, while Vinekit (a cat he never cared to know) was laid gentler, farther away from the white apprentice's body. A sick, amused snort came from Reedpaw as he gazed at Crackleidiot's body. I knew it was coming. One day he would push it too far and now look where he is. Should Reed had been a little less rude about it, considering this was his previous denmate and a friend of his? Yes. But leave it to Reed to laugh at his buddy's funeral.
