ThunderClan: Life Before 2023's Sinkhole

[spade]

Oh. Oh was that... did she... He was the leader of a patrol? The trust that Iciclepaw seemed to have in him fell on deaf ears as Sunchaser couldn't quite believe what he was hearing. The anxiety butterflies that tickled his stomach skyrockected, and the golden tom felt as though he might hurl. Nope, nonopenonononope. He couldn't do that. He'd keep it inside, bottled up and hold it in until he got back and could sink into something of comfort such as his brother, Moonprance.

"R-Right," he swallowed, voice high as his nerves were set ablaze. Marigold... He could find marigold. Green eyes switching between Flutterpaw and Sunnydew, he swallowed again. What did they think of him? Were they judging him for just sitting there, dumbfounded? Stars, he had to pull it together. "L-Let's head out then." Was that even the right thing to say? With a swish of his tail, the large tabby rose to his paws and led the group out of the entrance.

"No it's not!" She sniffed, not looking up. "I want Mommy."

Padding into the clearing the torbie looked around for the one cat who she could talk to,Where was Buckstar and Rainywhisker? Focussing in on her paws Tallkit calmed down as she saw the grey shecat. Running up to her Tallkit pounced aiming to bring her down with a friendly tackle. ICIY!

Tallkit mewed,her heart stopped for a beat when she saw Sunhowl in the medicine den. He's not Rainy? Who the stars was that? she asked herself as she caught sight of Eveningmist on thunderwillow,she was confused. Maybe this was a joke,a bad joke by them to make her confused.

"...Hey," She mewed gently, "Are..are you alright?" Berrykit asked, crouching just outside of the nest. Where was Dogspirit? She'd have thrown a fit for Houndkit shredding her nest like this...but one sniff of the nest told Berrykit that Dogspirit hadn't lain there in a while. Berrykit flicked her ears. She had known neither of her parents, and no cat had stepped forward to claim her. As far as Berrykit knew, she had been given away to the Clan by some kittypet or rogue.

Houndkit didn't even look up. "No. Dogspirit.... she... she... Lionstorm killed her." She continued to cry. Clutching the moss in her tiny paws. She hated Lionstorm. She hated RiverClan. She hated everyone, for not saving her mother. She hated herself for not being strong enough to save Dogspirit.

Iciclepaw padded out of the medicine cat den, worry embedded on her maw. A familiar pelt across the clearing caught her somewhat teary green eyes. And it was... racing towards her. She got knocked down by the she-cat easily, almost as if her paws wanted her to fall. Then, the realization hit the young apprentice.

"TALL!!! Y- your back!!! Oh wow, so much has changedd.. " here she cut off, knowing very well some certain news would make Tallkit just as upset as it made her.

Daisyfur's eyes clouded up with tears. "I know you do. But she is in a better place, little one." She held the kit closer to her.

She caught the older shecat's teary eyes. Oh stars,why were you crying.... Iciy,what changed....Wheres your father? tallkit swiftly got off of her and wiped the medicine cat apprentices forming tear. I swear if one of the other apprentices made you cry- She cut herself off at the thought of her causing another death. Stopping in her tracks Leafstorm hit her like claws dragging her down to the darkforest. Iciy how many things changed while I was gone... Tallkit dug her claws in the ground.

"Lionstorm...killed Dogspirit?" Berrykit's fur fluffed up in horror, and her eyes grew round and shocked. "Oh Houndkit..." She squeaked, and she tentatively entered the nest and curled close to her grieving denmate. "It's..not much to say, but..I'm super sorry..." Berrykit murmured, and she pressed her nose into Houndkit's shoulder.

Stormfang

Stormfang couldn't believe what he was hearing. If Lionstorm was the problem, then they should retaliate against him. RiverClan couldn't get the idea that they could just push around ThunderClan whenever they felt like it. He glared at Eveningmist. This wasn't going to be a very good leadership for him if he acted so soft all the time. "That's exactly the opposite of what we should be doing," he insisted, sweeping his eyes around toward the rest of the cats. "If you let Buckstar's killing go by without a complaint, then the Clans will think they can bully us whenever they like."

"And when he appoints a deputy. Everyone's going to be worried until he chooses someone to take his place when he dies,"

"Correct. Hopefully he picks someone good, someone truly loyal, and not set on avenging Buckstar."
