ThunderClan: Life Before 2023's Sinkhole

[puppeteer]

Spiderleap spat at the cat as she ran. Thank StarClan. He thought, shaking out his fur. "Is everyone okay? Where's Brightkit?" He hoped the she-kit was unharmed.

He turned to Ashpaw and Flamepaw with a sheepish look on his face. "Sorry for snapping at you two, that was mean. I'll make it up to you both."

The coward had run away, but not before throwing a threat to Thunderclan. Ashpaw ignored Spiderleap and followed the intruder outside the camp , hoping to catch and convince her not to put a paw into their territory again. But the she-cat was fast. Where are the others? We can't let her escape! "Stop you! Nobody can threat us and get away with it!"

Batblood

The rogue managed to aviod both of Batblood's attacks again, but Batblood also managed to duck the claws coming for his throat, so they were somewhat even even if being even with a rogue wasn't exactly sometbragto brag about. He followed the rogue for a bit to make sure they didn't try and sneak back in when they turned their backs before he returned to camp. "Ill have to talk to Sparrowflight about this" he muttered to himself. The rogue had promised to be back, and considering their apparent stupidness he didn't doubt that one bit. He was a Keeper, so he might as well do his job and keep watch outside the nursery of something for the next few days.

Frostshade
(They/He)

Frostshade had started walking over to the group with Spiderleap, Ashpaw and Flamepaw before they caught the sight of Ashpaw attempting to chase after the escaping rouge. The siamese followed after him.

"Ashpaw! It's no use!"

Frostshade called out to Ashpaw.

cloudyflight - @Spotty

Lucky for her, the rogue seemed to enjoy giving warnings, and as she saw the rogue go for her own throat, similar to how she had just gone for the Keeper's throat, she was somewhat prepared, and ducked her head and lunged to the side, so the rogue cleanly missed. Watching the idiot spout off, she spectated the show with amusement, before watching it speed out of camp. Swiveling her head around, she
checked the clawmarks on her side, and was pleased to see that they had almost already clotted. Not that it was shocking that the rogue failed to leave a lasting mark, but it was relieving all in the same. turning around, she was pleased again to see that Brightkit was in the nursery. The tripod started to make her way over to the kit den. Brightkit must be scared from this little scene, so perhaps Cloudyflight could see if she couldn't go in their and check up on the kid.

Brightkit
@jupiter

Her breathing was short and quick as the Bengal rushed inside the nursery, ignoring the confused or worried looks she was bound to get from queens and kits unaware of what was going down outside, and just headed straight for her nest. She wasn't really thinking, but her bed was the place her mind most associated with safety, so that was where her paws led her. She scrambled into the moss, accidentally kicking a few pebbles and stones she had gathered aside but not noticing.

Her heart seemed to be racing and despite burring her nose in the familiar bedding, her breath didn't seem to slow back down. What had happened? Why had that cat gone for her? She could feel her jaw starting to shake in an odd way, as if she was really, really cold, despite the warm moss. H- had that been her fault? Was Cloudyflight ok? What was gonna happen now?

- Copperfire -
He/Him

Copperfire was returning to camp when he noticed an unfamiliar cat leaving camp. He had a bad feeling, but it seemed as if the stranger was leaving now. Said rogue was being followed by Ashpaw. Now he had to check in with his clan to see what had happened. If he was a warrior, maybe he'd just try and avoid all of this, but not as deputy.

"What happened?" he demanded, quickly scanning over the cats that seemed to be involved. Cloudyflight seemed to be injured, but everyone else seemed to be fine. Maybe not for long if the apprentice managed to catch up to the rogue. Frostshade had called out to Ashpaw, so they could deal with her. "Frostshade, go get Ashpaw, make sure the rogue is off our territory too."

Cloudyflight seemed to be going into the nursery. With a still fresh injury. "Cloudyflight, go have your injury checked. I don't care if it's shallow or not, we don't need it to get infected." These cats seemed to have no self-preservation skills, even if they were otherwise competent.

cloudyflight - @Spotty

The fluffy tripod entered the nursery, casting one last glance over her shoulder, to ensure that the rogue was actually pretending to be stupid and was craftily juking them out by pretending to run away. but luckily for everyone, it seemed like the idiocy act wasn't truly an act, so she fully padded into the nursery, and quite easily found young Brightkit flopped in a nest, and seemed to be in a bad way.

Before approaching, she intentionally made a noise, stepping on some twig that was on the ground, so she wouldn't scare the fur off of Brightkit any more than she could control. "Hey, Brightkit." The molly said softly, lowering herself into a sitting position beside the nest, reaching out to try and stroke the distraught child's back in a hopefully comforting way. "I know that must've been scary.... Are you alright?" Her voice wavered on the last bit as her eyes found the nest that she had been alone in after her mother's exile. Fixating her gaze instead on Brightkit once more, she shifted her position so that if the young girl required an embrace, she could easily give it to her without her missing leg causing her to be unbalanced.

Brightkit
@jupiter

She twitched sharply at the sound of someone entering and looked up, almost half-expecting the oddly-smelling cat to come for her again, but luckily it was Cloudyflight again. The kit's breath was still a bit shivery, and she tried to clench her teeth in an effort to try and stop her jaws from shaking like that. "y-yeah" Scary, but also confusing, and shocking as well. She welcomed the fluffy warrior's soft touch, still with her heart racing, and swallowed. 'Are you alright?' No, not actually.

"wha... what happened?.." Her vibrant green gaze slowly rose from her ground towards Cloudyflight and the new injuries. No... no no no. "S- sorry" That was the first thing out of her mouth. Because Cloudyflight had gotten hurt protecting her. But why had that cat lunged at her? That was the part the Bengal still couldn't understand. They were new, a rogue or something maybe, and they had somehow gotten into camp. Ok, made sense so far, but why would they then try and get Brightkit to go with them? "...but what did they want?" She had just been sitting there, playing with her pebble, and the cat had for some reason wanted to get Brightkit to follow them outside (what???).

Frostshade
(They/He)

Frostshade had been slightly out of breath from running from the Skunk and the spray of it, gladly no one got hit with it. This would be something to tell Spiderleap for sure. The siamese looked back at Sungaze then at the deputy having nothing important to add to their clanmates report.
