WindClan: Life Before 2023's Fire

[Wings]

-Creekdash-

Coming out of the warrior’s den was starting to feel like normal. It had been a while since his ceremony and this would be his first meeting as a full warrior. Not a big milestone but, it felt... different.

-Windpaw-

Sitting in fear in the shade, Windpaw watched as the clan gathered for the meeting. She only wished Gullpaw was with her.

Quicksilver was still a little on edge, Pumapaw's behavior confusing him. Though at her comment, it did help him relax a little bit. That sounded more like Pumapaw. The silvery tom opened his mouth to begin explaining what they were going to be doing during this training session, though he suddenly caught movement out of the corner of his eye. Quickly stepping to the side, the tom regarded Pumapaw now on the ground after having attempted to leap at him. "You just wanna spar then? Well, that can be arranged." Quicksilver bunched his muscles before leaping towards Pumapaw, stopping right in front of her and twisting so his hind paws were near her flank, rearing up on his forepaws to aim a kick right at her side.

Lynxpaw smiled in triumph as she successfully knocked Rabbitpaw over, though he was back up on his paws before she could execute another move. The feline saw him narrow his eyes, clearly now ready for another similar attack. Lynxpaw knew she just had to keep being unpredictable. So this time, the brown tabby launched herself straight for Rabbitpaw, stopping abruptly and allowing her paws to slide across the ground, kicking up dust that clouded the area. Lynxpaw then dove into the dusty cloud, paws outstretched as she aimed to grab onto the hopefully dazed Rabbitpaw's shoulders.

Rosepaw snorted. "Just get away with me, Outsider," she spat and turned away, glad to see Twilightstar coming up. Good. Leopardrat would get what she deserved.

Twistedpaw relaxed when Twilightstar came and decided to stay silent.

"She's doing well, but I'm afraid she wi have to be reassigned. I haven't been keeping up with her training as well as I should be." She admitted, a little bitter about it.
"I've just been so tired lately. I tried to keep up with her, but I think it's best if she has a mentor who isn't achy."

yowch. a pack of coyotes sounded... rough. at least the clan was... prepared? maybe? ick. snailswirl shook out their fur, feeling a shiver run down their spine. coyotes were massive, and snailswirl never wanted to see one. again with the no mate, no kits speech? what did coyote think they were going to do, swoon over some cat? absolutely not! they didn’t want a relationship before, and now they really had no time! or desire! love? no way.

they paid attention when coyote started teaching, though. they had a leg up — snailie at least knew what the herbs looked like. and they could say from experience that marigold tasted gross. cobwebs was,, basic knowledge. speed them, stop bleeding. hard to find, spiders gross. yep. eww, chew the marigold? stifling a gag, snailswirl nodded. and that was it. wait,.. mushrooms? "woah, you can use mushrooms?" they blurted, eyes wide. that was cool!

The leader glanced at Shockpaw as they raised their voice. She glanced at Rosepaw, catching her rude words to Twistedpaw, but she had more important manners to tend to over bullying.
Perhaps it was because she was brought in instead of born in, but it didn't seem like Leopardpaw really understood clan politics very well.
"This is why you are a dumbass." Twilightstar meowed, rolling her green eyes.
"I didn't give any order about taking any revenge, this isn't the outskirts, you don't go around killing whoever pisses you off or using the tension between clans as an excuse to go off and murder whoever you feel like." There was no fixing what was done, all Leopardpaw had proven was that she lacked self-control and had no interest in fitting into WindClan. Weasling her way out of going to ShadowClan had not been the greatest idea either. The leader wordlessly orders her cats to give her space by lowering her tail and flickering the tip. Twilightstar had no problem taking Leopardpaw's body back instead.
"There was no eye for an eye there, no need for revenge either. When a problem arises with another clan, we handle it together as a clan, no one goes off on their own and does as they please. You did though, and you took a life, now you're going to pay with your own."
That was the only warning Twilightstar gave before pushing off the ground with her hindlegs, Twilightstar propelled herself at Leopardpaw, quickly ducking her head and aiming to grasp the she-cat throat. She picked up her forepaws, claws unsheathed, ready to slam into the molly's chest, Whipping her head back, Twilightstar's sharp fangs would rip clumps of fur, skin, and muscle right off the she-cat's throat.
@Corruptx [Leopardpaw can fight back if she wants, but this is her execution so expect her death.]

Crowpaw had padded in ages ago and sat down to watch the fight. Ah yes more exicutions though he could see the necessity of this one, leopardpaw was out of control. Still it was not a good things and so while he did not make a move to interfere he simply sat there swishing his tail. Looking over the area he bit down a flare of sympathy for Owlflight. Crowpaw knew what it felt like to be abandoned by the cat that was supposed to heal him, it was an awful feeling. He briefly scanned his memories wondering if the poppyseeds were where he remembered them having used his long period stuck there to stare at Coyotesnarl and pick up on a few things. Maybe he could pick some herbs up on the territory later if he could stop another cat from going through what he did it'd be worthwhile.

[ I'll just have her go lmao ]
Well, if this truly was what Twilightstar had longed for all this time, then Leopardpaw supposed she couldn't be all that surprised: execution has been almost inevitable at this point.

Sucking in a sharp breath - likely one of her last - the cashmere squeezed her eyes shut as she braced herself for the pain that was soon to follow. And indeed it did, though Leopardpaw truth be told was rather appreciative of the torment: the acrid taste of blood flooded her criscrossed maw as the Clan leader ripped singlehandedly into the larger she-cat's throat. Ah, blood. Yes, yes, yes, fresh blood. Leopardpaw couldn't wait to see how Daisypaw would react to the sight of her adoptive mother's obscene death, the globs of dark blood spilling like a waterfall out from the long-furred bengal's mouth. It was exhilarating: Leopardpaw had never experienced such agony in her life until this very morning moment of blood-washed gore.

With a disgruntled gasp, Leopardpaw staggered back a few paces before thumping down into the crimson-soaked dirt, the hot red liquids continuing to pour from both her mouth and throat. A few convulses. A shriek and moan of delicious pain. Then, at last, the cashmere was still.

Hm. Maybe she really was a bad cat after all.

Thornkit flinched back in horror, as Twilightstar ripped into her previous mother. Shrinking back, she cowered, worried she would be next.
