Spiderlily was exhausted. They hadn't slept for more then a few heartbeats, before waking up again from the nightmare. Padding into the clearing, their fur still raised, as a strange figure started approaching them. It was a orange tabby, almost see-through like. They seemed nice, so Spiderlily carefully moved forward. That's when it happened.
The unknown, semi-transparent cat started to attack them. It was only a illusion by their mind, but the warrior couldn't tell. Dodging, they started clawing at the cat- while in reality they where clawing at a tree. The images of thorns yet again filled their head. "STOP IT! STOP YOUR DIRTY TRICKS!" Spiderlily continued their offense, tired- but ready to defeat this unknown enemy once and for all. "LEAVE ME ALONE!"
Silverclaw's fur went up as she heard screaming. She turned and saw that Spiderlily was the source of the screaming. She saw Spiderlily clawing at a tree. She wondered if she should get involved and ask them why they were clawing a tree and screaming so loud.

Softkit looked at the warrior, this was an odd game of imagination. Why was the warrior so scared? She could only watch, unsure what to do but, surely this wasn't bad right?

Badgerleaf turned to the cat near her-Barkfur, wasn't it?-hearing a yawn. She looked at him in surprise. Probing, she said, "This is definitely some big news, huh?"

Sunpoppy swiveled in surprise when he heard a sudden scuffle in the clearing, peering over only to see.. Spiderlily, and nobody else. Literally not anybody else partaking in this fight that was--somehow one-sided? It creeped him the hell out, that was for sure. Whatever demons Spiderlily was battling, he didn't want a part of it lest he wished for another tally in the "reasons to make fun of that weird guy" column. Already, he had determined it was a mistake to even briefly confide in them, let them play a role in his moment of vulnerability the other day...
If this was an example, their stupidly-confusing gender-situation wasn't the only strange thing about them, clearly. Something else was off.
And Sunpoppy wasn't going to touch that with a tail-length long stick. So he pretended not to notice, not to know them in the slightest as he gravitated away from the scene they were causing. Someone else could deal with whatever was going on there.
Braveheart smiled at the kits enthusiasm "my nest is here," he said pointing his scruffy nest. . .
@Angelique
Fizzlekit poked his head inside, not daring to even think about going inside. He wasn't expecting all cats to be as nice as this one and Buckstar. "Nest clean?", he asked. Before even getting an answer he went over and grabbed some fresh moss. "Old gone. New in.", Fizzlekit meowed.

Coming back only to get Barleypaw into warriorhood, but then I most likely will be leaving entirely. I've spend too much time on her to not have her be a warrior and I'd like to get her there.
Goodness, Flamepaw couldn't believe it. On top of coyotes who may or may not be planning to kill them all, Glidingfeather was stepping down? Was that even allowed- well, yes, of course it was, but like... Who would be deputy now? Glidingfeather seemed decent. She hadn't hurt anyone. What if the new deputy would? Why was that even a possibility in her mind? Flamepaw pouted - of course Buckstar wouldn't let someone hurt the clan. But then again, from what she understood from her sister, that's exactly what Duskstar had let happen, so... She didn't know anymore. There was to much news to get a proper thought on any of it.
Was something wrong with Flamepaw? He just noticed how uncertain his bestest bestest bestest bestest bestest bestest bestest friend looked, along with the frown. He frowned a bit as well and opened his mouth to ask if something was up, but she started to speak again, so he shut it again and listened. She thought he was doing good, that was awesome! "Okay!" he mewed, moving his tail and front paw. That felt better. He looked down again, and his stance looked much better, but still a bit messy and not good at the same time. He was definitely doing something wrong, but Flamepaw was a good teacher nonetheless.
Flamepaw looked over his stance, pretty satisfied with how it looked truth be told. It wasn't perfect... Of course... But- good enough! "y-you're doing it!" she finally chirped with a smile. Although uncertain about the details, she decided to try to forget about those. Yes... So what now? "Maybe... Maybe we could now try pouncing on stuff..? Marigoldfire hasn't shown me yet but... We can try-" she suggested, sitting down and tilting her head as she awaited an answer from Lightningpaw. If they managed to do the pouncing correctly, then... Then they could catch mice, right? It wasn't that easy, Flamepaw figured, but with Lightningpaw they could surely at least hope. He was already being an great apprentice after all!
Rainywhisker looks from his leader and Thunderchaser down to the apprentice lying in his own blood. A part of him felt bad and wanted to move to help clean the young tom up. But he was acting out in strange, disagreeable ways. And the gray tom needed to hold himself back. "He cannot move anything except for his head, though he apparently has some control over his neck as well," he rasps to Buckstar, blinking down at Tidepaw. "He appears to be delusional as well. The things he has been saying, and doing as you can clearly see, are not of sound mind. I do not think he will last long regardless of any sort of treatment he is given. If I may, the most peaceful and generous thing we can do for Tidepaw right now is give him a warrior's death. Feeding him those vile berries is peaceful, but would be meaningless to him. And leaving him out someplace to starve or otherwise succumb to the elements is cruel. He is still a child..."
Rainywhisker trails off, knowing he may have ventured too far in giving his thought on the matter at paw. He only stares down at the apprentice with pity.

Hopekit watched The cats at work and wondered if yes could do it to.
