RiverClan Clearing

[Lawlipop]

@AbsurdJinx

The calico molly emerged from the medicine cat den. Her pelt bright but her eyes dim with exhaustion. Dappleblossom finally recovered from her near death experience. It was miraculous how she survived not just one but two times from drowning.

That first time, where she was running away from a predator and slipped into the fast moving water. Any cat more unfortunate than would have surely drowned, especially a cat like her who had a lack of experience in the wild. But she survived. The only thing that died on that cold, wet day was her enjoyment over the merciless waters. She has never made contact with it since unless she needs a drink of water. But then... she jumped into the waters willingly this time. Why would she do to herself? To save a cat she just met that day? She jumped in after her after a moment of hesitation as the determination to save her apprentice flashes with horrible memories of the past. They never ended even as Dappleblossom made her way towards the apprentice who was being flushed away. The apprentice would flash into a younger Dapppleblossom, who was more panicky, younger, more desperate for help. She rushed to aid like a lionhearted mother. Yet as she successfully gets her to safe and dry lands, the adrenaline drains from her as realization begins to pull her down the thick, suffocating waters of the river. She screamed as loud as she did as a kit, the sky not being able to mumble her words this time as she slipped deeper and deeper into the depths and begin to lose consciousness. Her body had almost completely given hope when she felt herself being dragged up by a strong force and before she knew, sweet air stung through her nose and throat after she coughs up leftovers of the river and began to fade back into unconsciousness. But not before she could catch a glimpse of her savior. All she saw was a giant figure with a fiery pelt. She passed out with a tired smile on her face. She already knew who it was before she regained consciousness in the safety of her clan. As she stayed in the den, she didn't talk much to him. She would gaze up at him, her mind filled so many thoughts and questions she just wanted to blurt out all at once, but instead keeps it to herself.

She whipped around as she walked as she was expecting the ginger tom to be following out of the den. She looks back out at the clearing and confusion fills her eyes as she sees stranger cats all in the camp and suspiciously sniffs at the air. They were ShadowClan cats. Shw tell by the numbers that somethinh awful must have happened to their camp for them to come to RiverClan's doorstep to seek refuge

She scooted over closer to Lobsterpaw, feeling a bit nervous being out in the open with all these cats - these Riverclan cats probably thought she looked so strange in appearance and it made her self-conscious inside. Newtpaw then broke away from her thoughts due to the other apprentice’s question and she looked at him, smiling down at her, but something seemed ever so off in his expression. She couldn’t put her paw on it, so he decided to not dwell on such a thing as this. “Hmm.. Well, I do like training with my mentor, Brightfluff and pretending that I’m a mighty warrior with Lionpaw!” The apprentice purred, thinking of the first time she met the tom in Shadowclan on the first day being an apprentice, it seemed like a long time ago, but in retrospect, it had only been about two moons or so.

Lobsterpaw forced a purr,"Ahh...so your a mighty warrior? Eh?" He laughed lightly before swiftly tripping Newtpaw in a way so she'd fall into the pool of water, he walked away laughing, he knew she couldn't drown, four moon old kits could usually touch the ground...

Lobsterpaw forced a shrug,"Yeah I guess. I'm Lobsterpaw by the way. Soo...What's Shadowclan like?" He asked hoping he could get the apprentice a little less distrustful of him.

"Wow...", Zenithwhisker breathed. "I never expected RiverClan's camp to be this... beautiful...", she meowed. "Everything that RiverClan needs is right here in their camp.", the cream she-cat said. "Yep.", a voice replied.

Zenithwhisker turned around and saw a young RiverClan tom padding towards her, his silver pelt shining in the light. "Silvernose, I never thought I'd see you again...", she responded. "Well, you see me now, don't you?", Silvernose smirked. "Yes, I do.", she replied.

"Who are those two?", the tom asked, looking at Clovercarnation and Cottonflower. "That's Clovercarnation and Cottonflower.", Zenithwhisker replied. "Really, hm? I've never seen them before..", he said, padding in a circle around Clovercarnation and Cottonflower.

Her throat throbbed, burned even every time she spoken. her eyes felt swollen with tear stinging every time she let one fall. Her body hurt from throwing up. Her lungs screamed for air. She felt like fainting she felt so light headed. She hadnt eaten in days, she felt like she hadnt slept in days either. Yet she stood tall and looked at Honeycomb with soft eyes,"I love you." she said the words that seemed to be lingering in the air. The words that had caused all of this mess. Words that she would say and hold close to her. Because she did love Honeycomb. She loved them with all of her being. Maybe it wasnt such a good idea thinking about loving a cat who said that they wouldnt care if she died, saying that they wouldnt care if she simply washed away. The words stung. They hurt so much, and at first she couldnt believe Honeycomb would say them. But as her mind would always think, she deserved it. She deserved the yelling at the scars, she wasnt enough. And she would never be enough. Hearing them say all they lived for was her made her heart melt slightly. "Then live for me." She wanted them to live. Wolfdancer would blame herself for the rest of her life. It would because of her that Honeycomb died. It was because of her she wanted to die. She felt like vomiting again but gritted her teeth and let out a shaky breath and swallowed it down. Dark red stained her white chest fur as it dripped from her chin. She missed them. She didnt know if it would ever be the same again, she didnt know how they would get back from this. But Wolfdancer would try. She wanted Honeycomb in her life, she wanted them so bad. "I will never get over you, even if you did die." she took a small step closer, gaze soft. She wasnt angry anymore, she wouldnt yell or hiss. Her fur wasnt ruffled and it laid smooth against her. She was sincere. She knew Honeycomb was hurting too, she knew they felt guilt for what they had done. And Wolfdancer would forgive them in a heartbeat. No matter how many time they hurt her, no matter how many times she had to vomit she would always forgive Honeycomb. She loved them. She repeated the words that that she started with,"I want to share a nest again."

It hurt, it really did. To be held accountable for actions that were indeed apprehensible, but were truly not their fault. Honeycomb's heart pumped steadily, every hair on their back refusing to back down, the roaring of their mind's unrest never quietening. Looking up at her once more, they swallowed another breathy sob before merely rasping, "I love you too." They had harmed Wolfdancer without end since she first told them that, and yet they felt the words rolled off their tongue as if they were saying their own name. Honeycomb's misdeeds would probably be remembered as long as they themself would be remembered, but for a moment, they let themself forget that. They were healthy again, well-rested again, had hopes and dreams and motivation again. Their eyes welled up, not because they were still upset, but out of sheer, honest-to-Starclan relief. Her words did not just spell renewed intimacy, but also forgiveness; they would not be loved if she still perceived them to be the monster that told her to die.
This was a second chance. They would take it. "Please," Honeycomb mewed. "Please do."

Branchpaw was always a bit skiddish around new cats from other clans,"I-I'm Branchpaw and I can't really tell you how s-ShadowClan is different from RiverClan because I-I don't know what RiverClan is l-like..." He flattened his ears nervously.

Lobsterpaw paused trying to act friendly," I can guess... You don't swim or catch fish, or eat fish..."

Haykit padded around,"Does anyone know where Morningkit and Cloudkit are? I haven't seen then for two days...."

Branchpaw started to get calmer now,"well, I've had fish before and it wasn't that bad," he mewed trying to start a conversation.

Lobsterpaw nodded,"That's good since most of our food is fish..."

Lobsterpaw paused,"Soo..do you like swimming?" He asked prentending to sound curious.
