RiverClan Clearing

[GlitterKitten]

Stormcloud gasped with shock as Blizzardwind brought the body into the clearing. Another cat so soon? What had happened? Why was this happening to Riverclan? Has Starclan turned against us? What have we done to make them so angry?he thought. He didn't know what to do now. He padded over to Pounceleap and sat down. "You were a good cat Pounceleap." He murmured.

The stench of death alerted Softecho, and as she came rushing out of the warriors’ den she hoped desperately it wasn’t Snowleap. She may not fully trust the new leader, but she certainly didn’t want him dead. Softecho saw Blizzardwind, though she was pretty sure he wasn’t the source of the scent. No, it was the cat with him…Pounceleap. Softecho’s heart wrenched as she saw her Clanmate, laying in the clearing. “StarClan no..”, Softecho whispered. The she-cat whirled to face Blizzardwind. “Blizzardwind. What happened?”

He shook off the thought, interrupted by a Bluepaw who was practically screaming at the old warrior who, in all honesty, didn't look his best.
"Bluepaw."
The ginger tom approached besides the apprentice. Perhaps he had not really been screaming, the display was a loud and angry one nonetheless.
"He'll tell us what happened, there's no point screaming at him."
He briefly looked to Blizzardwind as to indicate who he was talking about, not intending to appear angry or anything. His dark green gaze swept back to the body, mulling over his previous thoughts. Seems like it could have been an accident.
He stepped aside to make room when Slatewhisker appeared, lifting his gaze to Blizzardwind as well.

Bluepaw whirled around to stare at Gingerfrost. He's right. I shouldn't be screaming at Blizzardwind. He shut up and waited for the warrior to explain what had happened. Tears staining his fur, the white furred tomcat raised his head and called for his mentor. "SNOWLEAP!!!"

Weedkit was annoyed. His thoughts had trailed off to his father and mother again. How could they just leave me? he thought. who needs parents anyways... he sat in his favorite sunspot and watched the clouds float by.

SNOWLEAP

➣ There seemed to a commotion happening in the camp’s clearing, which alerted the dark-furred tomcat, especially when one of his apprentices, Bluepaw, started screeching his name. “What in the name of StarClan is going on?” He remarked, rushing out of the leader’s den and over to the growing crowd. Luckily, several of his shields, along with his deputy, were already at the scene. Snowleap drew to an abrupt halt, his partial gaze landing on the limp body of a RiverClan warrior, who he soon recognized as Pounceleap. Huh? Cats were taken back by this, still getting over the death of Skystar, and the oriental longhair could only look to Blizzardwind. “What happened to her? Are you alright?” He meowed, his tail swishing behind him. Judging by her body, she hadn’t been attacked by a predator or another cat, seeing only clumps of dirt staining the shecat’s fur. It was an odd sight to behold, but a tragic one nonetheless. What caused this?

“what happened..?” she asked

[*longfire*]

[GlitterKitten]

Shimmerstream only felt sadness now. Starclan had abandoned them. It seemed that it was the only thing possible. "Why is this happening?!" She turned to look around. Was pebblefoot here? They needed him. She hadn't known him for very long, but right know she needed comfort from a friend.

The first cat to arrive, because StarClan is so cruel, was the new medicine cat. Little Fawnpaw, who had seen two corpses in a few days. Blizzardwinds fatigued expression turned softer, stronger, through force, to try and seem less worried about how much his age was ailing him. At the offer of water, he hesitated. He was thirsty, actually he could drink an ocean, but he didn't want to bother her. But then again... Not being able to do anything to help Pounceleap would be bugging her. "Yes, some water would be great, thank you." He murmured softly
only directing this at her. Then so many cats arrived very fast, he could already feel the beginning of a headache coming, from between his catbrows.

One cat in particular spurred the throbbing between his temples
and that was Bluepaw, who was screaming at him, demanding that he explain, but the old tom stayed silent, wearing waiting for members of authority to arrive so he could explain what happened to her. Letting out a soft, almost silent moan, he sat down as smoothly as he could, and forced the pain from the bones and muscles in his legs. He refused to draw attention from the deceased cat just because his bones and muscles ached and hurt.

As Gingerfrost admonished Bluepaw, he cast a grateful look to his fellow Shield. But it seemed like Bluepaw was still being very loud, and the senior warrior frowned. But it seemed to summon Snowleap, and he finally exhaled softly. Glancing at Softecho, who also asked what happened, and everyone else who was asking, he cleared his throat, praying that his voice was strong and not as shaky and fatigued as he felt. "I was out on the territory, pretty far from camp, when I heard her screaming, so I ran to where her voice was coming from, and when I got there..." His voice trailed away slightly as he remembered seeing the caved in hole, and digging and digging... "And it seems like she had been walking, but then some sort of rabbit warren of fox hole caved in beneath her and..." He was suddenly very aware of Fawnpaw. For some reason he didn't want to say the word "suffocated" with her nearby. "I didn't dig her out in time." He exhaled very very softly, and found his eyes trailing back down to her. Yes, he didn't know her well, and she wasn't too well know, but didn't she deserve to be honored? "I didn't know Pounceleap well... But I know she was a very compassionate cat and a dedicated warrior."
