Spiderthroat
He/Him || ThunderClan Deputy
Beefed Up Tier III || Just a Scratch || Hulk SMASH

@Neptune. , @Beaan. (You have until 3pm tomorrow to respond or else I will simply move on without your characters input. This will be reflected on your characters /w\ )

Fury could not even begin to describe how he's feeling at this moment in time. He walked behind the pair, following them out to the clearing. They didn't deserve the Stormcrest. They didn't deserve anything but what they're owed. Wolfhawk had the GAL to finally, finally look remourseful.

His blood boiled. He had half a mind to skin them both right this very second. But he didn't. Because he needed them to choke on their ego. He needed them to drown in their arrogance. As they both stopped in the middle of the Clearing, the calico strode past them. If his anger poured out of his body, his pawsteps would be leaving behind nothing but magma and ash.

"THUNDERCLAN. GATHER ROUND." he barked. Tail lashing as he kept pacing forwards. Stopping just beneath the Stormcrest. Standing upon where the patrols are usually sent out. The clearing was already clear, faces would have already turned to see the pair stepping out of the medicine cats den, with him in tow by now. Curiosity should already be blossoming. ThunderClan cats were nothing if not nosy.

"Here before you. Were the two medicine cats who were charged with keeping our Clanmates safe. Making sure the patrol was properly patched up, taken care of." a pause as he let out a snort. Followed swiftly by a low hiss.
"INSTEAD. THE FORMER MATE OF DRIZZLECLOUD, AND MY OWN APPRENTICE HAD TO STEP IN DUE TO THEIR INCOMPITENCE." a bark. Fangs fully showing. Spiderthroat had only reached this peak fury once, and it was when Asterdance had been harmed.

"Those who had less deathly wounds were treated first, Clanmates were left out to bleed, INCLUDING myself. If they leave your ranks out, what says they won't leave the Warriors, Queens, Elders, Apprentices, even Kits out to bleed? They did. Ravenfire was left in a corner of the den, bleeding outl Almost succumbing to her wounds. If not for Sparrowpelt stepping in, she would have died. A warrior who fought to protect us. Dragonflycliff, who had her eye taken and leg taken, was only seen after Treetiger had patched me up, and I had ordered for it." a pause as he took a breath. "Mudhound, who had a broken jaw, was asked to chew a herb. By Wolfhawk himself." a pause.

"The commotion you all heard just now, was Violetfreckle yelling at the pair, because Bumblestar had just lost another life. Not due to fighting for her clanmates. Not for keeping us safe. But because the pair of them didn't care for her. THE ENTIRE. TWO WEEKS. Not once was she checked, not once were her bandages changed. Those bandages I took off were from the ones I LAST. Put on there. The only one, who finished a Healing during the entire Otter patrol scare, was Hollowpaw. Which is the only reason why I won't be stripping him of his rank." at this point. He was loosing breath. But he didn't care. He wanted to rip them to shreds, he couldn't do it physically yet, so he'd do it socially. He wanted the clan to uproar. He wanted the clan to get angry. Yell. Scream.

"Wolfhawk. However." a beat, as he slowly turned to look at said tom in question.

"The main medicine cat, one in charge. Will be fully stripped of your rank. As well as your name. You are no longer Wolfhawk, Medicine cat of ThunderClan. You are Wolfpaw, apprentice. Considering you had no warrior training, and seemingly even a higher lack of general competence." a hiss. "You're lucky, I had half a mind to kick you out. No ThunderClanner would be as stupid as you are in this moment." he stepped towards the tom he was addressing.

"You brushed off your clanmates concerns when they brought it up, and now you're choking on all that arrogance you had. I hope it kills you one day." all respect he had for the 'apprentice' was gone. It bloomed when he noticed how the tom was acting when the patrol first got there, after he was assisted, but it solidified even more now.

"Throwing back a half baked response, no apology nor concern in the voice. Lack of self awareness, he had the gall to brush off a few cats, acting as if he knew better. Apparently you know next to nothing, and at this point in time you are worth next to nothing. Messing up is one thing, but this is on an entirely new level. This is lack of care and nothing but neglect. You talk big but you have nothing to show for it." he stepped closer. Up until he was glaring right at Wolfpaw. Staring down the bridge of his nose.

"You weren't motivated to heal and help save your clanmates lives were on the line. So let me show you how great fear is as a motivator when it's yours."

"You are my. Apprentice. I expect nothing but your best paw forwards or you'll be loosing another leg , like Dragonflycliff lost it in the fight. I expect you to do nothing but go forwards with open eyes, or you'll be loosing them just as Dragonflycliff did. If I hear any disobedience come from your maw it'll get broken just as Mudhounds' had. Lastly, if you don't follow any of these rules, if you try to talk back, fight back, refuse to try or you just fail in general. You'll be loosing your life just as Bumblestar did, and I'll leave you to bleed out, just as you made me and Ravenfire do."

With that. Spiderthroat turned to Hollowpaw. This is the most he'd talked in a while. But he wasn't even close to done.

"You may be the apprentice, but you are just as guilty as he is. You sat idly by and didn't speak up. Didn't say anything. Kept your head down. That's just as pathetic. Just as worthless acting. However. Your only saving grace, by whatever God you may believe in, is the fact that you actually healed someone." a pause as he narrowed his eyes.

"That bein said. One mix up, one mistake, one more slip up, and you aren't only getting demoted, I will exile you. You get another chance, but it's comin with a bigger concequence. So slip up. I dare you. I'd love to find one more reason to slink my claws into you, and give you the same scars you let Bumblestar stew with. They were INFECTED. So I would love to have you lay there, helpless, expecting help from your beloved Clanmates, and be ignored." it was a low growl. One that held promise. He was no longer being lenient. He was no longer deciding to fully trust anyone. Shown time and time again that Highranks, most of them, were nothing more than rank sitters who'd done nothing.

He'd killed for less.

At that, he stood there. Posture straight, eyes narrowed. Fury burned in his gaze, but he kept a stone faced expression. He was enraged beyond human comprehention. He wanted to do nothing more than lift a nearby tree and squash them both with it. But public humiliation would do. Shattering what confidence they had would do.

He wasn't done yet. However. He had something else in mind. He just had to figure out how to say it.
