ThunderClan: Life Before 2023's Sinkhole

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!"

Rainywhisker was about to head out on another one of his walks for the afternoon. He'd enjoyed the last one immensely. But as the tom is heading towards the entrance to camp, something, or someone catches his attention. It was that cat who had approached him at the last Gathering and become rather angry with him. He'd been puzzled over the incident for some time. Now, they were... Sleep walking? Sleep-talking? The stormy gray tom watches from a distance as Spiderlily begins to attack the base of the tree, yowling loudly enough for StarClan to hear.

With a quick scan around the clearing to see if anybody else was involved, the medicine cat slowly redirects his path to pad over to them. He stops a few tail lengths away and observes the scene for a moment longer before quietly speaking. "Excuse me," the tom rasps slowly. "You should... You should wake up." He was definitely under the illusion that Spiderlily was sleepwalking.

Rainywhisker inhales slowly. He'd feared that his leader would choose this fate for the apprentice. In spite of the younger tom's bitter words and unremorseful actions, no one truly wished pain upon the younger ones. And Tidepaw was but an apprentice. But Buckstar would need to be patient if he wanted to have Tidepaw eat the deathberries. ThunderClan had none in storage at the time- Rainywhisker did not wish to risk kits finding them, and using them at all was against his moral code by far. "I'll send Frostpaw out for a few, in that case," he meows gruffly. "I hope you can understand the need to obtain them directly from the territory-" He glances at the kit who had snuck in to watch from afar. "I don't like entertaining the thought of unnecessary deaths."

After another heartbeat, the tom begins to poke around for his apprentice. "Frostpaw!"

(I know right?)

Cedarleaf couldn't and wouldn't stop the purr from rising in her throat. She could feel it, making her neck seem to vibrate. She was very glad that Sunripple didn't pull away, and his touch felt like the warm sun washing away all the cold, snow, and problems in the world. Some of her friends abandoned her when she lost her hearing, but even though she hadn't know Sunripple then, she instinctively knew he would stay with her no matter what. And that was a wonderful thought. @rosetherosey

"No. No." Buckstar's tail lashed behind him. "You are children. You are not allowed out of camp. You could have gotten yourselves killed! If that coyote had gotten its jaws around you - around either of you - there wouldn't be anything left to bring back to camp. Do you understand that?" He was left sweeping one paw through the air, pupils narrowed to thin slits, a harrowed edge to his voice as he tried to make them see just what could have happened.

And it had been so close to camp, too. Why had it been so close? He thought they were all the way out by Sunkissed Creek, or Firefly Cove, but they had been pawsteps away from the entrance. Buckstar drew in a shaky breath, closed his eyes, shook his head. "Both of you, go to the nursery," he ordered. "I'm having your apprentice ceremonies delayed by half of a moon. Maybe that'll teach you to follow the rules."

High Rank Announcement [#hrannouncement]

Buckstar offered Eveningmist a reassuring grin. And now, moving right along... "All right, my favorite part of the announcements. Jaykit, Frostkit, Fizzlekit, Applekit, and Tinykit, will you al please come forward?"

Were kits going to become apprentices? Looks like the apprentices' den would be crowded. Spidercrawl wondered if they would need to rebuild it to accommodate to everyone.

[Madelaine]

Fizzlekit looked around when he heard his name. The tom had no clue what was going on. Did he do something? He wasn't sure. The autistic kit came forward, tripping over his front paws. He feel but easily came back up. He acted like nothing happened.

[Pand1440]

Frostkit stepped forward from the crowd.

[Pand1440]

"No- No!" Their enemy was getting away... and what was that distant sound? Spiderlily took a few breaths before they where able to pin-point it as Rainywhisker's. Oh dear, where they in trouble? Finally calming down, they meowed quietly; "What? What happened?"

Branchwhisker watched Jaykit proudly, eagerly awaiting the ceremony's conclusion so that he could congratulate him.
